Chapter 137: Justice in Mind
Chapter 137: Justice in Mind
On a road in Jin City, Zhou Zhijian was wearing a yellow worker's hat and a blue work suit that had been washed to a pale color.
He rode a shabby bicycle that made noise everywhere except the bell, and he swayed all the way from the south of the city to the north.
The north side of the city is full of old-style residential buildings. These buildings were built a long time ago and look a bit old and dilapidated.
The roads here are also very complicated, narrow and winding. Zhou Zhijian rode his old bicycle to an extremely dilapidated residential building.
After parking the bicycle in a small shed at the corner, Zhou Zhijian took off his worker's hat and brushed off the dust on his body.
Just as I was about to enter the residential building, an old lady in her sixties or seventies came down the stairs.
Seeing the garbage bag in the old lady's hand, Zhou Zhijian smiled on his tanned face, "Grandma Li, are you going to throw away the garbage?"
When Grandma Li heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Zhou Zhijian. A kind smile broke out on her wrinkled face.
She responded: "Yeah, Xiao Zhou, are you coming back for lunch?"
Zhou Zhijian nodded in agreement. Thinking of his mother and wife at home, he did not delay any longer and said to Grandma Li: "Grandma, I'll go up first. My mother and Xiaoting are still waiting for me."
Grandma Li quickly moved aside to let Zhou Zhijian go up first. When Zhou Zhijian's figure disappeared at the stairs, Grandma Li sighed.
"What a sin! The Lingyun Society is really a piece of shit. Xiao Zhou, a policeman with a bright future, was ruined by them!
They broke Zhou's mother's legs and blinded Xiaoting's eyes. God is so blind that they still don't come to take away such evil people! ! "
Grandma Li was holding a garbage bag and muttering to herself, lamenting the miserable life of Zhou Zhijian's family.
As Jun Nanzhu's subordinate Wu Qi walked into the alley, he heard the old man cursing softly. Looking at the dilapidated residential building, he knew he had come to the right place.
Zhou Zhijian took two steps at a time and went up to the fifth floor in one breath. He first opened the iron door outside and then the wooden door inside.
When Zhang Ting heard the sound of the door opening in the house, she knew that it was her husband Zhou Zhijian who had returned.
She wanted to fumble to get up and pour water from the water dispenser onto the coffee table, but was stopped by her mother-in-law.
"Xiaoting, let me do it."
Zhang Ting had no choice but to sit down. She touched the still warm food on the table and waited for Zhou Zhijian to open the door and come in.
Zhou's mother, sitting in a wheelchair, poured a glass of water and placed it on the table. The next second, Zhou Zhijian opened the door and came in.
"Mom, Xiaoting, I'm back."
Zhang Ting sat on a stool and called Zhou Zhijian to come and eat quickly. "Eat quickly. You need to rest later. Otherwise, you will not have the energy to go to the construction site."
Zhou Zhijian came in and saw his wife's gray eyes, and tears flashed in their eyes.
"Okay, I'll eat it right away."
Zhou Zhijian sat down, picked up the bowl, and began to eat with big mouthfuls. Zhou's mother, sitting in a wheelchair, watched her son wolfing down his food and advised him, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Zhou Zhijian's mouth was stuffed with food, tears welled up in his eyes, and his almost choked voice seemed a little unclear because it was blocked by the food.
"Mom, I see."
Zhang Ting didn't hear anything wrong and just thought her husband was eating too fast.
After Zhou Zhijian finished his meal, Zhang Ting urged him to go to rest while she and her mother-in-law slowly cleaned up the house.
After entering their 20-square-meter bedroom, Zhou Zhijian could no longer hold back and burst into tears with his hands covering his mouth.
He was the one who let his family down. If he had not overestimated his own abilities and investigated the Lingyun Society, if he was not a policeman, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Mother's legs will be fine, and Xiaoting's eyes will not be blind. It was he who harmed them!
The tears in Zhou Zhijian's eyes dripped onto the floor, splashing small water droplets. Thinking of something, he wiped the tears from his face and took out a black plastic bag from an inconspicuous corner under the closet.
The bag was very light, but Zhou Zhijian felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Because it contained the USB flash drive used by Ling Yunhui to commit crimes. Three years ago, he was still a policeman with a sense of justice. He was not afraid of life and death to collect evidence of Ling Yunhui's crimes. However, he did not expect that it was the beginning of his family's fall into the abyss.
The mother's legs were broken, the wife's eyes were blinded, and the once happy family was shattered overnight.
He wanted to use the evidence to seek justice, but his colleagues told him that if he and his family wanted to survive, he must not get involved in the affairs of the Lingyun Society.
It was then that Zhou Zhijian understood what it meant to cover the sky with one hand.
Zhou Zhijian clenched the black plastic bag in his hand, his eyes filled with despair and pain.
Now that his family has become like this, he no longer has the courage to fight back.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Ting and Zhou's mother stopped what they were doing. Zhou Zhijian heard the knock in the bedroom, put the bag in his hand back under the cabinet, and then came out of the room.
"Mom, Xiaoting, don't move. I'll go open the door."
It’s no wonder that Zhou Zhijian is so cautious. He is actually afraid that the people from Lingyun Society will know that he has evidence in his hands and come to hurt his family again.
Zhou Zhijian opened the door a crack and saw a tall man standing outside. He asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Wu Qi tried his best to be as gentle as possible. He looked at Zhou Zhijian, who only showed half of his face, and said, "Hello, are you Officer Zhou?"
Zhou Zhijian's expression changed instantly. "You've got the wrong person. I'm not Officer Zhou."
When he wanted to hand over the evidence of Ling Yunhui's crimes, he was fired from the police station, so there are not many police officers here.
After saying that, Zhou Zhijian was about to close the door.
Seeing this, Wu Qi quickly blocked the gap in the door with his hand. Zhou Zhijian loosened his grip when he saw that Wu Qi's hand was about to be pinched.
Before he could get angry at the man in front of him, Wu Qi took the lead and said, "Officer Zhou, I'm not from the Lingyun Society. My name is Wu Qi. I wonder if you have heard of the Northern God-killing Society?"
When Zhou Zhijian heard the words "God-killing Society", the anger on his face froze.
Of course he had heard of the God-killing Society. It was not called this name a few months ago. It was said that it was changed to the God-killing Society after the old president's son took over.
But so what?
Killing the gods in the north, soaring into the sky in the south.
The two families are at loggerheads with each other. Isn't the God Killing Society also a mafia like the Lingyun Society?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhijian said in a cold tone: "The God Killing Society and the Lingyun Society are both social tumors. What's the difference?"
Hearing this, Wu Qi disagreed, "Officer Zhou, you can't confuse my God-killing Society with the Lingyun Society. They burn, kill, rob, and destroy other people's homes, but we are law-abiding citizens!"
Zhou Zhijian didn't want to listen to this man's nonsense anymore, so he pulled Wu Qi's hand away from the crack in the door and was about to close the door.
"Officer Zhou! If I tell you that Jing City has set up a special task force to investigate the top leaders of the Southern Government, and that Lingyun Club's president Chu Zhongtian is dead, and that you and your family no longer have to live in fear, can you still be indifferent?"
Zhou Zhijian suddenly stopped, and he looked at Wu Qi in disbelief, saying, "What did you say? Lingyun Club's president Chu Zhongtian is dead?!"
impossible!
Chu Zhongtian is strong and knows some unknown martial arts. He is also protected by his subordinates all the time. How could he die?
