There is a divine light above the three-foot sword.
There is a divine light on the three-foot sword. I have always believed in this sentence.
This sentence was said by Zhang Yang to me.
I believe in this sentence because I have experienced the loss of a beautiful life in an instant. Although I understand that choosing this path will inevitably lead to such experiences, it is truly unbearable to look back on them. The feelings in my heart are really impossible to describe with words.
It was actually not long ago that Zhang Yang came to our class as an external instructor, and we naturally got to know his partner Chen Ge.
At that time, I didn't even know his name, anyway Zhang Yang called him "Little Chen", so we followed and called him "Brother Chen". Brother Chen graduated from the police academy a few years ago, unlike Zhang Yang's introversion and calmness, he was a big boy with very large eyes, loved to smile, and was sunny.
Although we don't see Chen Ge often, the impression of him is slightly better than Zhang Yang's. When Zhang Yang teaches, he is not only serious but also quite fierce and scolds people mercilessly. In some practical and simulated courses, Chen Ge occasionally participates, and when Zhang Yang scolds us until our faces are covered in blood, he jumps out to mediate. But once he mediates, he also gets scolded by Zhang Yang.
"You're just a good-for-nothing, like a woman! With their useless appearance, one day they'll encounter a criminal and who will be crying then?" Zhang Yang scolded while pointing at my nose.
"What the heck are you doing?! You're not making any effort! You're just like a nagging wife! Every time this happens, I'm biting my tongue, but I'm cursing back in my heart. I don't care about being scolded by Zhang Yang, what I care about is whether what he teaches is useful or not. But every time I see him scolding Chen Ge, for some reason, I always feel that Chen Ge is quite pitiful."
"Don't mind!"; Brother Chen still came to pat my shoulder quietly after class, very worried that my fragile little heart couldn't withstand the stimulation; "He's just like this, if you care about it, then don't live!"
He could never have imagined that my heart is bigger than a basin, and this matter had long been leaked out.
"Zhang Yang ah……"; "Chen Ge never called him that before"; "Zhang Team Leader",; "He wasn't like this before either. As for me, I'm his new partner, and my abilities are just so-so. It's been two years now, but our rapport is still not working out, who knows how much worse than his original partner."
Change partner! Then, what about his original partner?
I seem to have suddenly realized something.
"They were both very famous before. Most of the big cases you're familiar with were handled by these two together. When something went wrong, it was so sudden that no one could explain what had happened. In short, it seemed that in that instant, he gave up his chance to live for Zhang Yang's sake. From then on, Zhang Yang's personality changed a lot, especially hating people who slack off during training."
I sighed: "Hating oneself is one thing, but taking it out on others is another!"
"Old Chen's eyes widened in surprise: "You can actually tell from this one sentence that he's fed up with himself? I thought this was something that others couldn't understand, only someone like me who interacts with him every day could see it! No wonder he often mentions you and praises you."
This is my intuition. If it were a pair of very strong partners, if something like this happened, the one who survived would surely be blaming and hating themselves for not being strong enough.
"Don't look at him now, but back then he was depressed for a long time, staring at his partner's photo without eating or sleeping for who knows how many days. Now every year during Qingming Festival, when visiting the grave alone, he still sheds tears."
Chen Ge suddenly smiled, seemingly having strong feelings towards Zhang Yang, "One day, I'll be able to perfectly replace him, hey, little girl, you just watch!"
Pfft, you're just a few years older than me, and now you're calling me little girl!
However, Chen Ge's wish was ultimately not fulfilled. Because shortly after that, he became Zhang Yang's second lost partner.
The scariest thing is, I was there that day too.
It happened very quickly and the whole process was very simple, so simple that it couldn't be associated with something as big as a human life. An 18-year-old youth, drunk, smashed cars on the street, kicked and beat women on the road, passing police officers came forward to stop him, protecting the women, suddenly pulled out a knife, stabbed from behind, into the left shoulder blade bone seam, right in the center of the heart.
The knife that pierced Chen Ge's heart was ordinary. We later saw the physical evidence and photos, it was a fruit knife, 12 cm long, foldable, single-bladed, not much different from the one on my living room table for slicing apples.
But the person who was stabbed by a knife would not be like in TV dramas, after struggling for half a day, crawling up and saying "Ah, I still have one more thing to say..."; he suddenly turned pale, instantly unable to speak, his big and lively eyes losing their luster all at once.
That day, Zhang Yang went out to a scene and brought me as an assistant for some reason. That day, the on-site drawing was done by me, I remember it was one of my best works, everyone at the scene praised me, even Zhang Yang smiled. On the way back, walking on the street, the scorching sun was overhead, the cicadas were chirping annoyingly. We were both dressed in long clothes, our backs were soaked with sweat.
Chen Ge was walking ahead, Zhang Yang was behind him and whistled a tune. I turned my head to look back, he was still wearing his Ray-Ban sunglasses, the corners of his mouth were curved up, as if he was smiling. He stood in front of a cold drink stall, holding three Cuteos with one hand.
I walked back and took one first, then the two of us stood in front of the cold drink stall, peeled off the outer packaging of the popsicle, and threw it into a paper shell box next to the stall. Brother Chen was far away, walking forward unknowingly, and soon he would be fifty meters away. After peeling off the popsicle's wrapping paper, I exaggeratedly thought that on this hot day like an oven, if we walked fifty meters with the popsicles, Brother Chen could only drink soup!
Just at that moment of confusion, the front became chaotic. We looked and saw a fight breaking out, threw the sweet potato to the ground and rushed forward. So when Brother Chen fell down, we two were running ten meters away from him.
Zhang Yang was stunned for three seconds because he saw where the knife had gone in. Then he suddenly went crazy, punching the assassin's face with one fist, and then kicking him hard in the stomach.
Zhang Yang was a national sanda champion, and as soon as I saw where he kicked the person, I felt something was off. This kick, straight to the abdomen, is a vital spot on the human body, and if not careful, it can be fatal. Suddenly, I understood that Zhang Yang's current mental state had completely deviated from a detective's way of thinking, so I immediately grabbed him from behind.
He was clearly out of his mind, and instinctively the security guard tried to grab me, luckily I had practiced Wing Chun before, which is not afraid of grabs. So I instinctively spread my hands and feet, and punched and kicked for half a minute, he finally calmed down a bit. Still, I shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Call an ambulance!"
At that time, I still didn't understand Chen Ge's injury. Chen Ge couldn't hold on until the ambulance arrived.
Zhang Yang was excluded from the investigation team for this case, to be exact, this case was assigned to another criminal investigation brigade. No one in our team can guarantee that they won't mix their personal feelings into the case when handling it.
But we two were eyewitnesses, and we recorded our testimonies.
I don't know what kind of mood Zhang Yang was in as a witness, I didn't realize it until I was recording my testimony, and as I spoke, I burst into tears.
It wasn't until this moment that I suddenly realized what was going on and suddenly believed that everything that had happened was true.
It wasn't until today that I found out for the first time that his name was Chen Zhe.
