Chapter 358 The Different Missions of the Old Red Army and the Criminal Police
Liu Yuan drove the brand new AODI A6L sedan and slowly drove out of the gate of the district court.
He was feeling a little heavy-hearted, as the case that had just concluded made him feel a little tired.
However, at this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the car.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, but Liu Yuan still quickly answered the call.
An old and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lawyer Xiao Liu? This is Lao Li!"
It turned out to be Lao Li, an old Red Army soldier whom I had met at a free legal consultation event in the community.
Liu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Old Li, what can I do for you?"
Lao Li said anxiously on the phone: "Lawyer Liu, I'm in trouble and want to consult you."
Liu Yuan glanced at the time and originally planned to go home and rest, but facing this old man who had made great contributions to the country, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
So he parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road and listened patiently to what Lao Li said.
After some questioning, Liu Yuan learned the whole story.
Old Li’s real name is Li Shichang. He is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He devoted himself to the revolution when he was a teenager and joined the Red Army.
During the three-year War of Liberation, he fought bravely and fearlessly, but unfortunately was seriously injured in the battle to liberate Nanhang.
Before joining the army, he had married at the age of thirteen in accordance with local customs and his parents' wishes, and had several children.
After liberation, Lao Li has been recuperating in Nanhang.
Before the Cultural Revolution, he experienced a marital crisis, divorced his ex-wife and remarried. A young nanny who was more than 30 years younger than him became his current wife.
However, due to the serious impact of the previous injury, Mr. Li has not been able to have children again.
Today, Mr. Li is over 90 years old and his health is not as good as before.
Unexpectedly, his children actually urged him to divorce his current wife in order to prevent the woman from dividing their family property and Lao Li's pension.
This put Lao Li in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to make a decision.
Liu Yuan listened quietly to Lao Li's story, his heart filled with sympathy and respect for this old Red Army soldier. He promised Lao Li that he would arrange a time for a face-to-face interview later.
He knew that Lao Li had contributed so much to the country, but now he was facing such a dilemma. He decided to do his best to help Lao Li solve this problem.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed another number. The owner of this number was his old comrade-in-arms - Zhou Can.
After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up. Liu Yuan got straight to the point and said, "Hello, Zhou Can, I plan to go to Nanyun Province to see Lao Zhang off next week. Do you have time to go with me?"
Zhou Can was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then answered in a serious voice: "No, Lao Liu, I have something else to do and can't leave. I just received news that a murder occurred on the canal, and I must rush to the scene immediately. If I have time to arrange it, I will contact you immediately later."
After saying this, Zhou Can hung up the phone, leaving only a busy tone.
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Liu Yuan sighed helplessly.
He knew that Zhou Can's work was of a special nature. As a criminal policeman, he often encountered emergencies and needed to handle cases urgently.
It's like this every time, and Liu Yuan understands it, but he still feels a little disappointed.
However, Liu Yuan knew Zhou Can's love and dedication to this job.
Whenever they met, Zhou Can always enthusiastically shared the cases he had recently solved with a proud smile on his face.
Whenever he encounters a major case, Zhou Can will throw himself into it without hesitation, even giving up all his rest time.
Although Zhou Can and the old Red Army soldier Lao Li shouldered different missions at different historical stages, they were both working hard for the ideals and missions they held in their hearts.
Liu Yuan sometimes feels lucky that he chose to be a lawyer. If he had chosen to be a policeman, he might have been in the same situation as Zhou Can. He also laments the fate of Lao Li, who paid the price of his life and best years for the liberation of the Republic and the revolutionary cause.
Although Zhou Can might not be able to go with him to see off his comrade Zhang Cheng, Liu Yuan still decided to go to Nanyun Province alone to complete this final farewell.
He believed that even though they were in different places, the hearts of their comrades were always closely connected.
At the same time, he also hopes that Zhou Can can achieve more in his work and continue to safeguard social peace.
