looked at Guo Jianjun The sight in front of the police officer, was none other than a tall and

head, ”This is not a Hong Kong's filster vs police, are you afraid

that i will run away? Or are you afraid someone will rob the van? Will i

hesitation, the officer took a pack of cigarettes, pulled out one of the

dots, and cautiously handed it to Guo Jianjun The latter thanked him,

fingers on the cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled through hiseyes, Guo Jianjun

said slowly, ”I was an infantry soldier on 1993 I spent three years at
