Chapter 63 Past Memories, Future Journey
"Duty-bound? Go forward courageously?"
"It is our duty! Go forward bravely!"
Qi Tongwei smiled.
These eight words are so infectious that speaking them now still makes his blood boil.
Yes, in the fight against criminals, we must do our utmost to move forward courageously.
But are those criminals really wrong?
Are the police really right?
In fact, there is no real right or wrong, nor absolute good or bad in this world.
Some just have different positions.
Those criminals who engage in drug trafficking, smuggling, robbery and theft are only doing it for profit, to change their lives.
From the perspective of national law, they violate the laws and regulations and are bad people.
However, from a moral point of view, they are not wrong.
Perhaps, they were born with disabilities, are weak and sickly, and cannot do heavy work, so they can only choose to take shortcuts.
Or, there are elderly and young people in the family, an eighty-year-old mother, a hungry child, and a wife who is in confinement after giving birth, all of whom are urgently waiting for money.
Without any education or background, the money they earn through hard work is not enough to supplement their family income.
To this end, they can only do illegal and risky things.
So is it wrong for the police to crack down on them?
In fact, that’s right.
They are the police and represent the authority of a country.
They must not condone criminals.
Otherwise, the country will be in complete chaos.
But most policemen are also ordinary people.
They also studied hard for ten years, worked hard, and were assigned to that position after graduation and passed the exam.
Similarly, those criminals are also ordinary people. They are willing to cross the red line when faced with misfortunes in life.
Therefore, there is no good or bad in the world. There are only different positions, which lead to confrontation.
No matter what time it is, when prosperity comes, the people suffer, and when decline comes, the people suffer.
According to Qi Tongwei's recollection, he participated in no less than a dozen cases of arresting drug dealers.
During this period, he saw it with his own eyes.
Some comrades were still talking enthusiastically before setting off.
But not long after arriving at the scene, he fell in a pool of blood.
In the early 1990s, the country had not yet taken strong measures to ban guns.
Some criminal gangs will deliberately smuggle themselves into Southeast Asia to purchase new and advanced firearms developed in Europe and the United States.
At that time, grassroots police were equipped with only the most ordinary pistols, which sometimes jammed easily.
So, Qi Tongwei remembers it very clearly.
This group of people, armed with shoddy equipment, fought against well-equipped criminal gangs and suffered a lot, and many people died.
There were many times when colleagues who had talked about having dinner together a few days later would be separated from each other the next day.
Those people also have fate, they were born by their parents, and some are the only children in the family.
Their parents were just farmers who raised their children with great difficulty.
Unexpectedly, he lost his life because of a mission.
This is…very distressing.
Throughout the dynasties, weren't those who fought in the battles the children of ordinary people?
But the children of ordinary people are also children. They have flesh and blood and are born by their parents.
Why are they always the ones rushing to the front?
Why? Why! This isn't fair!
"Oh!"
Qi Tongwei became angrier and slammed his fist on the table: "I have lived two lives and have never seen such a thing.
Those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen would send their children to carry out dangerous missions.
It seems that this situation must change in the future.”
It was late at night and everything was quiet.
Only then did Qi Tongwei realize that he had been thinking too much.
But a person is really bored and can only analyze the past and the future.
Learn from every failure and improve your life.
Qi Longgen didn't eat dinner and his stomach was growling with hunger.
Qi Longgen was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.
"Get up, don't sleep anymore."
Qi Longgen kicked Qi Longbian on the butt.
"What are you doing, bro?"
Qi Longbian rubbed his eyes, very unhappy.
"I'm so hungry that I can't sleep. Go find me something to eat."
"Where can I find you something to eat?"
"Go and ask Qi Tongwei for help, go quickly."
"Why don't you go?"
"Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Qi Longbian got up reluctantly and walked towards the door.
He stuck his head out and saw Qi Tongwei lying on a chair with his eyes closed.
"Hey!"
"!!!" Qi Tongwei was shocked: "Are you sick? Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?"
"Um...do you have any more bread? My brother is hungry."
"Snapped!"
When Qi Longgen heard this, he slapped him on the back of the head on the spot.
Qi Longbian covered his head and asked: "Why did you hit me?"
"How did you give me away?"
"You said so. You should eat when you are hungry."
"You, you." Qi Longgen was speechless: "How could I have a stupid brother like you."
Qi Tongwei found it interesting and looked at them: "I say, can you two do something more promising?"
"Who are you calling useless? If you don't want to give me food, then don't give me food. Why do you catch me and insult me?"
"Qi Longgen, I don't want to waste my time talking to you. Your brother is not a bad person by nature. You are the one who did all the bad things.
And he is just helping you, I wonder, can't you be a normal person?"
"Qi Tongwei, who the hell are you calling abnormal? What the hell do I do to you?
Stop pointing fingers at me. If I could go to college, I would definitely do better than you."
"Come on, people like you are not only scumbags but also poor students. You can only go to college in your next life."
"Qi Tongwei, don't go too far. We are all from the same village. Do you really have to be so cruel? Not even giving Stuttering food?"
"I'm not discussing food with you now. Also, you know we are from the same village.
But now I ask you, why do you have to be so stubborn and do things to the extreme?
When you took the knife that day, did you really want to kill me? Did you want me to die? Is that right?"
Just like what Qi Longgen said just now, as a village, is it necessary to do such a drastic thing?
These words touched Qi Tongwei, and he wanted to give them another chance.
As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, Zhang Long will definitely send them to the Municipal Bureau as a stepping stone for him to win credit.
Qi Tongwei does not say that a man cannot be a hero without being cruel, but he cannot be unkind or unjust either.
These two guys are not like Qi Lu and Qi Zhu, who can be reformed in a better direction by spending time in jail.
I'm afraid it will backfire.
This made the two men, who had just finished their time in jail, even more violent, resentful, and grudgeful, and they wanted to take revenge.
This is the most terrible.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell the truth and don't speak in anger.
The past can be forgiven.
From now on, we can keep to ourselves.”
Qi Tongwei was very serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.
When Qi Longgen saw Qi Tongwei's cold face, he felt disappointed.
He was bad, but not stupid, and he realized that something was wrong.
