C7 Life and death

Rou Xue left. It was only when they parted that Qi Jin was a little reluctant.

The woman who had been with him for three months and had never talked about anything other than training was a mystery to him.

Where did she come from, who else was in the family, and what her job was.

None of this is known.

Qi Jin didn't even know Rou Xue's hobbies or characteristics. The name Rou Xue wasn't her real name either, which made Qi Jin feel like he was watching a flower in a fog.

Qi Jin had no idea when Rou Xue had left.

In the afternoon, after they finished their combat training, Coach Lu Hui pointed at Qi Jin and said, "Find me at the office tonight. It's 7 o'clock sharp.

"Yes, Teacher."

Qi Jin straightened his back.

He originally thought that the night's study would end forever with Rou Xue's departure. Now, it seemed that the suffering had yet to completely pass.

He looked at the brilliant flowers and tender green leaves on the mountain and said to himself, Is this my spring?

Why was it still so cool? There was no warmth.

It was almost a minute to seven when Qi Jin knocked on the door. Someone inside replied: "Come in."

This wasn't Lu Hui's voice.

Qi Jin hesitated for a moment before opening the door. There were three people in the room, Lu Hui was one of them, while the other two were a man over sixty years old with a head full of white hair. The other man had a skinny face and wore a pair of dark blue glasses.

Three people, six eyes that were sharp as swords gazed at Qi Jin's body.

Qi Jin took two steps, and was still about four meters away from the three of them.

"Don't be so nervous."

The white-haired man waved his hand. His posture was elegant, and he carried the tone of someone with power giving out orders.

"Yes."

Qi Jin could not help but feel nervous, he did not know who the person who had arrived was, nor did he know what kind of news they would bring him.

"All of you, go out."

The man said.

Lu Hui and the glasses wearing man walked past Qi Jin without saying a word.

Qi Jin stared at Lu Hui from the corner of his eyes. Only Lu Hui was familiar with him here.

Sure enough, when Lu Hui passed by him, his eyes widened.

This was a hint, what did it mean?

Qi Jin did not understand.

He became even more alert.

The only people left in the room were Qi Jin, who was confused, and the man with white hair.

"My name is Hua Qing, and I have two identities. One is the Vice Principal of the Criminal Police Academy, and the other is the Vice Minister of Public Security."

The man with the white hair said, his eyes never leaving Qi Jin.

That kind of gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, giving Qi Jin a lot of pressure.

What do you mean, show off?

Qi Jin did not speak, he pondered for a few seconds and said: "My name is Qi Jin."

After saying that, she regretted it again. Such an introduction, it was as if she was sitting on equal footing with Hua Qing, it was simply unsuitable.

Hua Qing's status was too high and his background was too great, far from something that a student like Qi Jin could come into contact with.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and a slight smile appeared on Hua Qing's serious face.

Qi Jin could feel that even inside that smile, there was also a somber coldness.

He quickly shut his mouth and reminded himself that there was no room for him to talk.

Hua Qing paused for a few seconds, and then said: "I heard that you're the most outstanding student out of this batch."

Qi Jin did not know the word "best".

How did he come to this conclusion? His results were not the best in all the trainings. He always held an attitude of not being eliminated, trying his best to stay in the middle of the assessment.

Because Hua Qing's judgement had surprised him, Qi Jin did not reply.

Hua Qing's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a small light bulb, he said: "Don't think that you can purposefully hide your ability, and others won't be able to see it, our academy's instructors are all intelligent people, your performance is not outstanding, just concealing your abilities."

Letting out a sigh from the bottom of his heart, Qi Jin explained: "The main reason I don't want to see Wookiee Lin is because I'm not trying my best to show off."

"Since you want to pretend, I'll give you a chance."

What do you mean?

If he did not do this, his body would have trembled, and he had a kind of premonition that Hua Qing would not come looking for him for no reason.

Hua Qing tapped his finger on the table lightly as he thought about something. "From today onwards, you will be publicizing your dissatisfaction towards the Criminal Police Academy."

"I'm not dissatisfied with the academy at all."

Qi Jin's heart jumped, could it be that they wanted to fire him?

Was this an opportunity or a trap?

"Hmph, whether I'm satisfied or not, you know in your heart."

Hua Qing's face tensed up, and he continued: This is your mission.

Qi Jin frowned, what mission is this?

Did Hua Qing need Qi Jin to stand against the academy?

In the end, it was better for him to observe his fellow students, find those who were equally dissatisfied with the academy, and kick them out.

"You did well, and you still have the heavy responsibility to bear. If you don't do well, you will be eliminated from the competition. The following games are even more interesting."

Hua Qing's words were filled with clouds and fog, making Qi Jin unable to understand them.

Hua Qing stood up, and it was only then that Qi Jin realized that Hua Qing had a tall stature, that was as tall as him by 1.82 meters. If Hua Qing was twenty years younger, he would definitely be a head taller than Qi Jin, and even at the age of sixty, his body would still be as straight and tall as a soldier.

Patting Qi Jin on the shoulder, Hua Qing left.

After a while, Lu Hui walked in and said to Qi Jin: "This is Dean Zhang Jiyue from the Education Bureau. From now on, Director Zhang will give you a lecture."

Zhang Jiyue was the man who went out just now, he was around fifty years old and was relatively skinny. It could be seen that Zhang Jiyue was not an expert in fist and foot combat, but more of a scholar.

Qi Jin immediately saluted and said: "Hello, Director Zhang."

Zhang Jiyue nodded towards Lu Hui and Lu Hui walked out.

He accompanied Zhang Jiyue in as if he was only here to introduce Zhang Jiyue's identity.

The room was quiet for a moment. Then, Zhang Jiyue turned to Qi Jin and said: From today onwards, you have to save your hair.

In society, no one cared whether a boy's hair was long or flowing, or bald. As a student of the Criminal Police Academy, short hair was a uniform standard, and they even had to cut it once a month.

"The academy doesn't allow students to gather their hair."

Qi Jin frowned.

"You have a way, you can't tell others that it's my idea."

Zhang Jiyue's tone of voice was neither fast nor slow, making him suspicious.

Qi Jin thought. Damn, what does that mean?

Are you waiting to be expelled for not abiding by the rules?

It was not worth it for him to be fired for amassing funds.

He always wanted to be expelled from the Police Department, but he had never had the opportunity to do so.

Then, Zhang Jiyue turned on the computer, took out a website, and showed Qi Jin a short video.

This was a documentary. It was the type of video that was recorded on the spot by police officers when they were dealing with cases. Outsiders would never be able to see such a video.

As Zhang Jiyue watched, he explained the entire process of the case at that time, as well as the police's method of handling it on the spot.

This allowed Qi Jin to understand the story behind this scene.

Listening to his endless narration, Qi Jin couldn't help but admire Zhang Jiyue's super strong memory. He understood that Zhang Jiyue's memory could only rely on his own ability, but Qi Jin had used the might of the small piece of wood.

For the next ten days, Qi Jin watched over a hundred short films. His gains were not small, he saw many mistakes in the handling of the cases by the police, and he also saw the craftiness and brutality of the criminals.

The knowledge acquired was very comprehensive. From the perspective of the police and criminals, it was obvious who had the better and who had the worse.

On this day, Zhang Jiyue said to Qi Jin: "You have watched so many internal films, what do you think?"

Qi Jin's eyes darted around as he replied, "It's too dangerous to be a police officer, I can die at any time."

No wonder he said this. Almost all of the footage he played had the deaths and injuries of the police, sometimes the criminals would stab the police, sometimes the police would be shot. When the police were shot, they would either die or become disabled, and the power of the bullets would be many times more terrifying than the cold weapons, causing a lot of damage.

He never thought that Qi Jin would come to such a conclusion, Zhang Jiyue was obviously not mentally prepared.

After nearly three minutes, he said, "Yes, when the police are in danger, because of the danger, our police officers will train very hard, in order to save some blood in the future. Today's sweat may save a life in the future, and if they want to carry 200 pounds of objects, they can only carry 200 or more pounds of pressure during training."

Qi Jin had originally wanted to give Zhang Jiyue an impression of being afraid of death. That way, his superior might not give him such a dangerous mission.

Obviously, Zhang Jiyue didn't want to give Qi Jin the reason to reject him. Even if Qi Jin was afraid of death, he would rather charge forward with his life on the line.

Seeing that Qi Jin did not continue, Zhang Jiyue slowly asked: "Are you afraid?"

Nodding his head, Qi Jin said: "Of course I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Afraid of death, even more afraid of sitting on a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Life can't be taken care of by oneself."

Qi Jin said what he had been hiding in his heart for a long time. He felt that he wouldn't have the chance to say it if he didn't say it now.

From the moment Ruoxue started teaching him alone, to the moment Hua Qing received him, Zhang Jiyue had already analyzed the case. After these few rounds, Qi Jin had a rough idea in his heart.

The school's expenditure was extremely large, and the mission that Qi Jin had to undertake was also extremely difficult.

The more Qi Jin thought about it, the more terrifying it became. He wanted to escape, but he didn't have the chance.

As Rou Xue said, "If you have the ability, don't think about shunning your responsibilities. Otherwise, you will be a sinner in society."

Zhang Jiyue said meaningfully: "Everyone is afraid of death, even the martyrs are afraid of death, but for the country, the people, and even in the face of death, you still have to be open and sincere. Without hesitation, this is the courage to surpass life and death, when it comes to policemen, the first lesson they meet is not afraid of death, the second lesson is that they don't fear suffering, and try their best to forget the fear of death.

"Of course."

Qi Jin's mouth was full of bitterness, he could understand the meaning behind Zhang Jiyue's words.

"The role of a police officer is to punish evil, protect social justice and protect the dignity of the law. This is a sacred mission, beyond belief, the life and death of individuals is as light as a feather in front of this mission. You have to remember, what we defend is the sword of justice, what we eliminate is evil and greed, in the face of such a mission, do you have the nerve to say that you are afraid of death? To despise death, to be impassioned, to live without regrets. "

As Zhang Jiyue spoke, he raised his fist and was deeply immersed in his impassioned words.

These words made Qi Jin want to cry, he really could calmly face death, it was not something that could be trained in a day and a night, he had to go through life and death situations countless of times, to make his willpower as strong as steel.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said: "Director Zhang, I don't think that I can forget about the fear of death right now."

"There's no need to worry. Take your time. Sooner or later, you'll get used to it. Before that happens, you have to have a lot of faith in yourself."

Zhang Jiyue's expression changed, and he started laughing like an old fox.

Qi Jin felt his hair stand on end.

Qi Jin lowered his head and sighed in his heart.

It seemed like he wouldn't be able to do anything even if he wanted to.
