Chapter 19 Flames
Dali could feel that Weize was obviously absent-minded tonight. He often answered questions when chatting, and he took out his personal terminal from time to time to take a look.
"Well, are there anything you need to do later?"
"Yes, "Bojake Horseman" is quite interesting, but unfortunately it was cut in half after only nine seasons." Weize took out the bag of red plums he had just bought in the newsstand on the corner of the street from his pocket, but he couldn't light it. When he looked down, he realized that he had mistakenly regarded the DNA extractor as a lighter.
"……………” Dali didn't know how to continue talking about this day.
As a result, Weize took the initiative to speak, "Dali, do you have anything you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Dali scratched his head, "Is it okay to lose weight? If I can lose weight, I can eat it casually. Oh, and I want to try to make herb roasted chicken again. I haven't mastered the heat well before, and I don't know what went wrong. I obviously did it step by step as stated in the cooking show."
"Uh, it's not that kind of thing, forget it, pretend I haven't said it." Wei Ze took out the lighter.
"I want to be a policeman." Dali hesitated.
"Um?"
"It's not like a temporary patrolman. Of course, the temporary patrolman's job is also good, but I still want to be a real policeman like my father."
"Your father?" Weize was forced to hear Dali talk about his family situation in the past two days, including his mother, sister and grandmother, but this was the first time he heard him mention his father.
"Yes, he was a policeman in District 1 before. He was a good person, serious work, kind-hearted, model husband, perfect father. In short, all the advantages you can think of about men can be found in him. But later, an accident occurred while on the police station. A school bus caught fire on the road. He happened to be following a few drug dealers nearby, so he rushed up without saying a word and saved a few children. But later things began to lose control. Half a minute later the car exploded and he happened to be on it."
"Is your father dead?"
"In fact, it's worse than that. He was rescued, but lost his legs and his face was disfigured. After that, his temperament changed drastically. He began to drink and gamble, and learned domestic violence. Once when I came home from school, I saw him beating my mother with a baseball bat and smashing my mother's nose bone. At that time, blood was poured out of the room. I had never seen such a terrifying scene in my life. Then on my twelfth birthday, he scolded me for being a useless fat pig in front of all my friends and smashed my only gaming machine."
"Okay, that's a bit too much."
"Anyway, his behavior became more and more outrageous. In the end, my grandmother was sent to a mental hospital. People said that he spent a whole month and a half to break the iron fence at the head of the bed with a stone and inserted the piece into his neck. He inserted it so hard that when they pulled the iron bar from his body, they found that the thing had become a little deformed."
"Sorry for your sadness."
Dali shook his head, "I had hated him before, and I always thought he was hating us, otherwise he could not explain the terrible things he had done to my mother and me, but strangely, when I learned of his death, I suddenly realized that the person he hated was not us, but the self who was addicted to alcohol and violence all day long, and he hated himself so much that even the only ones who care about him hated him."
Dali's tone was low and he didn't speak for a long time after saying the last sentence.
After a moment, Wei Ze broke his silence, "Wow, what a philosophical story." He spit out a cigarette, "What would you do if you were your father? From a hero admired by his wife and children to a disabled person who could only squat at home to receive relief funds."
"I, uh..." Dali opened his mouth, looking a little confused.
"I am so blunt, Dali, you have a pair of keen eyes to find the problem, but unfortunately you still can't see its essence." Weize stretched out two fingers with red plums, "Look, Dali, life is like this cigarette. Once it is lit, it will emit a charming fragrance, but don't be deceived by its appearance. This is just an illusion. The fact is that as you get older, it will burn faster and faster, becoming more and more hot. When it is about to burn to the skin, it is time for you to let go, and what awaits it will be the fate of being thrown into the trash can. Although it is a bit pessimistic, Dali, this is the fate of most people.
"Your father may have seen this clearly that he ended his life so simply. In a sense, he is very brave and a warrior, but unfortunately he is not brave enough." Wei Ze took off the police badge on his chest and the police communicator hanging behind his ears and put it in his pocket.
He no longer wandered around, and something was flashing in his eyes. Now Weize even made Dali feel a little strange.
"I should thank you very much, Dali, really, you are the best partner in the world, better than the spicy sausage pizza you invited me before. Just now you solved a problem that has troubled me for a long time."
"Uh...you're welcome?" Dali was completely confused about the current situation, but then he stuttered, "I don't know if you noticed that according to regulations, those things cannot be left when we patrol."
"This is what I'll bother you next. Dali, can you go to the bureau to ask for a long vacation for me after get off work tomorrow morning? I'm not sure how long it will take, so I'll take half a month first. Then I'll take time to go back and get the resignation." Wei Ze directly broke the police ID card, took out the positioning chip the size of a fingernail inside, and threw it into the trash can beside him, "Oh, by the way, don't tell Officer Wilson the last sentence for the time being, just in case a friend of mine furious when he finds out."
"Ha?" Dali was completely stunned, "You, you...what do you want to do?"
"It's a bit difficult to explain. In short, I plan to go crazy before my fingers while the cigarette butt is about to burn it to my fingers and earn some pension." Wei Ze blinked, and when he finished speaking, the personal terminal in his pocket also vibrated.
A red email appears on the screen.

"My curtain call has begun, I will miss you, Dali." Weize did not throw away the cigarette butt after smoking this time, but held it tightly in his hand, allowing it to burn his skin.
It's like the raging flames rising in the heart, burning quietly in the darkness.
"Don't worry, if I don't die in twelve days, I will come back to play games with you."
