Same crime

Chapter 128

"Our station reports: The 'March [-] corpse case' that caused a sensation in the city was pronounced in the Municipal Intermediate People's Court today. The criminal gang headed by the defendants Cong Quan and Lu Shi brutally killed the victims Wang and Xie in order to retaliate. One, the method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. The court held that the evidence in this case was indeed sufficient. The Zhangzhou Intermediate People's Court sentenced the defendants Cong Quan and Lu Shi to death for the crime of kidnapping, intentional homicide, and insulting the corpse. Sentenced to death with reprieve, life sentence and other corresponding punishments.”

The screen switched from the solemn courtroom to the live broadcast room, and the female anchor continued to broadcast: "In addition, with the detection of this case, the police in our city have also investigated and dealt with another criminal case related to this case, which has been transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution Afterwards, the screen changed, and Qin Zhengzheng's young and handsome face appeared on the TV. He straightened his back and spoke calmly facing the camera: "...we are solving this case At that time, the leaders of our bureau gave full support, worked hard to find clues and evidence to solve the case, and gave justice to the victim..."

Qin Zhengzheng was very handsome in his police uniform, and he said every word in a very serious manner. At this moment, he was nestling on the sofa, resting his head on Gong Yuechao's lap, eating a pot of grapes, and spitting out the grape skins on the In the trash can under the sofa, there is a stark contrast to the imageless appearance.

"Qin Zhengzheng, don't spit all over me." Gong Yuechao really couldn't stand it anymore, wishing to lift him up from his lap when he was fooling around.

"No." Qin Zhengzheng stretched his arms and pulled a paper towel from the coffee table not far away, wiped his hands sticky with fruit juice, pointed at himself in the camera and asked Gong Yuechao: "Teacher, look, Am I handsome?"

"..." Gong Yuechao really couldn't answer the word "handsome" to Qin Zhengzheng like this, so he kept silent and refused to say a word.After broadcasting the news about Qin Zhengzheng, he picked up the remote control at hand and wanted to change the channel, but the female anchor broadcast the next news at this time: "On October 25th, Mayor Chen Shi and Deputy Mayor Chu Ping Accompanied by relevant responsible comrades in Nanbin District, we visited Zhangzhou Chaoyang Environmental Protection Building Materials Co., Ltd. located in Nanwan Town, Nanbin District..."

When Qin Zhengzheng heard that this was related to Gong Yuechao, he suddenly became extremely excited. He changed his leisurely look just now, sat up, put the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and stopped Gong Yuechao's preparations with his other hand. The movement of changing the channel, "Hey, hey, wait a moment, teacher! Why don't you say that you are also included in today's news?"

Qin Zhengzheng got inside news that tonight's Zhangzhou News will broadcast an interview he was ordered to accept a few days ago about the case of mutilating corpses and crimes involving gangsters, so when the time came, he waited in front of the TV and watched the news After the broadcast, who would have thought that after the broadcast of his own, an unexpected surprise would come, and the two news items were still next to each other.

At this time, the scene happened to be that Gong Yuechao was visiting and introducing the entire factory area with a group of people who looked like leaders. Because Gong Yuechao was thin and tall, and especially photogenic, he seemed to stand out among these people, as if he stood out from the crowd. handsome.

"It's nothing to watch." Gong Yuechao said casually, deliberately raised his hand again, and turned off the TV just as the news was over. "It's almost time, we should go."

Qin Zhengzheng didn't have time to argue, the TV screen had already turned black, he muttered resentfully, with a look of unfinished thoughts: "I still want to watch your demeanor on TV, why did you turn off the TV?"

Seeing Qin Zhengzheng talking about him, Gong Yuechao reminded him, "If you don't go to the airport, I'll call Feng Pei over."

Qin Zhengzheng raised his hand in surrender and said, "I'll go, I'll go!"

Today Chen Yusheng came back from Wei Jiangyuan's hometown, and flew to Zhangzhou at nine o'clock in the evening. Since he was alone, Gong Yuechao said he would go to the airport to pick him up.

Qin Zhengzheng's arm, which has been raised for two or three months, is almost healed, and he can drive without hindrance. It's almost time to start now. Qin Zhengzheng is still dawdling there. He thinks it will take some time on the road, and he is still in a hurry to go out of.How could Qin Zhengzheng bear his threat? He happily changed his clothes, carried his bag, and stood waiting at the door. While Gong Yuechao was changing his shoes, he suddenly realized that he had no money with him, so he went back to get his wallet, and slipped it into Qin Zhengzheng's wallet. He clattered into his bag and said, "I'll pick up Chen Yusheng in a while, and let's go out for dinner."

"Teacher, I have money on me."

"You don't need it. You only earn as much as you want in a month. It's good enough for yourself." Gong Yuechao knew that Qin Zhengzheng's labor intensity was not directly proportional to his salary. Although he didn't have any special hobbies that required spending money, young people were lavish There are no constraints. For example, if you are bored at night and browse Taobao, you can buy a bunch of unnecessary things for Erbing, so there is basically no money left in a month.

"You can just give it to me again?" Although Qin Zhengzheng said so, he still found a proper place for Gong Yuechao's wallet in his bag, for fear of losing it.

"That's troublesome."

The two seldom care about who spends more or less. Even when Qin Zhengzheng's mother was in Zhangzhou a few months ago, Gong Yuechao would still leave the living expenses in the drawer of the cabinet by the door, and he didn't bother to care about it and settle the accounts.

They carried each other downstairs, got in the car and walked towards the airport expressway, chatting with each other.When the car got on the highway, Qin Zhengzheng complained: "Hey, my car can't go fast on the highway. Fortunately, we got out early."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Gong Yuechao said: "Which weekend is free, let's go and look at the car. Which one do you like? Do your homework first."

Qin Zhengzheng was sensitively aware that he had said something wrong. Before leaving, his mother told Gong Yuechao not to spend money all the time, so she explained: "Teacher, I didn't mean that, but this car... When I first bought it I know that the performance is average, and it can’t run at high speed, but I can still make do with it, and it’s not broken.”

Gong Yuechao looked at his flushed face with a smile under the weak light, as if he had done something wrong, reached out and rubbed his hair and said, "Don't think too much about it, I've thought about buying a car a long time ago." Well, it’s just that your injury didn’t fully heal before, so you didn’t include it in your daily routine.”

"But……"

"But what? Now that I have a company, can't I buy a new car?" Gong Yuechao asked.

Qin Zhengzheng shut his mouth, he was very clear in his heart, Gong Yuechao bought a new car, isn't it mainly driven by him?This person didn't even want to take a driver's license test, and Feng Pei had to pick him up and go to and from get off work.But it was so awkward, but it was still sweet in his heart, Gong Yuezhao really treated him better than he expected, he even thought that he would be hot to the end.

Gong Yuechao added: "Also, in the spring of next year, the first batch of residential areas jointly established by Gong's Group and Mucheng Group will start construction. I saw the design drawings a few days ago. There are several buildings with the layout of one ladder and two buildings." The house has a jumping floor and a yard on the first floor. I think it is similar to the structure of Yusheng’s house. Brother Cheng suggested that I keep one. I think it makes sense. When the house comes down, I will take your mother. Come and live in Zhangzhou, what do you think?" After that, he looked at Qin Zhengzheng, only to find that the corners of Qin Zhengzheng's eyes were shining.

Qin Zhengzheng rubbed his hands, bit his lip and didn't say whether it was good or bad, Gong Yuechao turned his head and looked forward.

"Teacher." After a while, Qin Zhengzheng finally opened his mouth. He said, "Teacher, you are so kind." This was very heartfelt and sincere, because now he feels more and more that sometimes he is naive and has nothing to do with a child. The difference is that Gong Yuechao has put many things about the two of them ahead of time.Leaving aside who gave more between the two of them, he had to admit that this relationship was obviously a love offensive first launched by him, but in the end, it was reversed by a large amount.He freed one hand, grabbed Gong Yuechao's hand, put it on his lips and kissed, "I'm so lucky to have fallen in love with you, I will treat you better, even though I don't have much money." It's almost as if he swore to the sky, but who knows that the last sentence directly breaks the merits, so there is no romance at all.

"Ha..." Gong Yuechao couldn't help laughing, thinking that the young man was very funny, "Who always cares about money with you." In fact, what he cared more about was the warmth that Qin Zhengzheng and his son brought to him, which was bought with money. not coming.

After they arrived, they only waited at the door for a while, and then saw Chen Yusheng coming out alone with luggage. Gong Yuechao originally wanted to see how he was feeling, so as to infer the results or gains of going to Wei Jiangyuan's hometown this time, but after watching for a long time, Chen Yusheng Behave normally.Qin Zhengzheng helped Chen Yusheng put his luggage in the trunk, and the three of them got into the car. Gong Yuechao asked, "I still want to ask you, why didn't Wei Jiangyuan come back together?"

Chen Yusheng said: "I have a case to be held in court the day after tomorrow, and he made an appointment with an expert to see his father, but the time didn't come together."

"That you……"

Before Gong Yuechao could finish his question, Chen Yusheng said, "Let's do it that way, there is no progress, I just told him that I will think about it carefully."

"Be careful." The matter between the two of them has been dragging on for a long time, and there has been no result. Gong Yuechao can only say this sentence, which is not even consolation or anything.

Chen Yusheng looked out the window at the night that only belonged to Zhangzhou, but what appeared in his mind was the boundless green mountains and green waters of Wei Jiangyuan's hometown.

"How is it? The scenery is not bad." As agreed, he went back to his hometown with Wei Jiangyuan. They ran all the way, and after getting off the car, Wei Jiangyuan asked him this.

Yes, as far as the eye can see, there is greenery everywhere, the beauty is intoxicating, and the fatigue along the way is completely swept away by the fresh and humid air that is unique to the small towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wei Jiangyuan pushed open the gate of the yard and called inside: "Mom."

Within a few minutes, I saw a woman in a Chinese-style robe stepping out of it.

Her hair was pulled back, her face was somewhat similar to Wei Jiangyuan's, and her gestures revealed an elegance that Chen Yusheng had never seen before.Even so, Chen Yusheng was a little timid towards such a mother.He was used to being free-range since he was a child, and his parents were not around all year round, so they didn't take much part in his life.But the first impression that a mother like Wei Jiangyuan gave him was that she was the kind who disciplined her children very strictly.

"Auntie, hello, I'm Chen Yusheng." Even though his heart was full of twists and turns, he still greeted the other party politely.

With a smile on her lips, Wei Jiangyuan's mother stepped forward to greet her and said, "Are you tired from the journey? Come in." She walked forward, with a faint fragrance of flowers wafting from her body.

Wei Jiangyuan helped him carry the luggage, and dragged him into the house together.

The house is very large and spacious, with Chinese-style mahogany furniture inside. The layout and interior decoration of the house are very different from the "Beijing flat" in the north. Chen Yusheng sat on the sofa in the living room and looked around. The time is still a bit constrained, and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet. Although he is not serious at ordinary times, it also depends on the occasion.

"Come, eat some fruit." Soon, there were all kinds of seasonal fruits in front of him.

At this time, a man's deep and cheerful laughter came from his ears, accompanied by a few children's crisp laughter.

Wei Jiangyuan's mother showed embarrassment, and explained bluntly: "Jiang Yuan's father is playing with the neighbor's children."

Chen Yusheng followed the direction of her finger and saw a man running with a child in the backyard. Wei Jiangyuan got up to call for someone, and finally dragged his crazy father into the house.

Although he no longer wanders around, he always treats himself like a child.He doesn't recognize people, it's the kind that even his own son often forgets. He came in very reluctantly, and was stunned when he saw Chen Yusheng. , kept shouting the name "Jiang Tao".

Later, Chen Yusheng found out that Wei Jiangyuan had an older brother named Wei Jiangtao who died young, and he was born precisely because Wei Jiangtao was gone.

He has no relationship with this elder brother who has never met, but he knows that his parents do not want to forget their flesh and blood.He didn't expect that his father didn't remember him, but he still remembered his elder brother, and even recognized the guest at home as that elder brother. It seemed that in his subconscious mind, his son was only that immature child, only that one.

When Wei Jiangyuan talked about these things, he was a little embarrassed and painful at first, but seeing that Chen Yusheng could accept and understand, and even explained him calmly, he opened up the conversation box and said a lot of things that made him feel painful. matter.

In the evening, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the air became more humid, and the clothes on my body seemed to be wrung out of water.Wei Jiangyuan helped his mother with work in the kitchen, and also comforted his "naughty" father by the way. Chen Yusheng was extremely bored, so he moved a bamboo chair and sat at the back door to watch the rain with his cheeks on his cheeks. The scenery merged into one, what work, love, such troublesome things can be ignored, at that moment, he felt that he was an insignificant rain, integrated into everything here.

It wasn't until Wei Jiangyuan called him to eat that he came out of that illusory poetry.

Dinner is a bit light compared to the northern table where there are plenty of fish and meat. Each person gets a bowl of bamboo chicken soup, two green vegetables, and a plate of braised pork.Wei Jiangyuan's mother also prepared an extra pot of plum wine brewed in early summer for him. It was sweet and sour in the mouth and had a great taste. It's erratic, and the happiness when I just watched the rain seems to be back.

But all the good things on the dining table were disturbed by the father who was messing around like a child in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yusheng put down the bowls and chopsticks, leaned over, and asked the mother and son who were in a hurry, "Do you want me to help?" He brought up a little girl in his early twenties, and he was very confident in the skills of coaxing children. A father also recognized the wrong person and regarded him as his son. He thought, maybe he can?

Wei Jiangyuan's mother handed over the bowl dubiously, but he really calmed down, called him "Jiang Tao" again, and finished eating the whole bowl of rice that he personally fed with a smile, very happy.

Chen Yusheng sat down, put down the empty bowl, and saw the woman with white silk on her hair quietly wiped her tears, then got up and had a glass of wine with him without saying anything.When he looked at Wei Jiangyuan again, he also looked embarrassed, even a little uncomfortable.

Facing such a dreary family, Chen Yusheng felt very sad. He seemed to understand that Gong Yuechao had met him once and then went back and said a lot of reasons for Wei Jiangyuan's difficulties. Only after experiencing it can he empathize with him.It is precisely because of this that the original delicious food has become tasteless.

Accompanied by the drizzle, it was a rare quiet night. Chen Yusheng was lying on the bed in a daze and was about to fall asleep. The door of the room he lived in was knocked open, and Wei Jiangyuan walked in with a thin quilt in his arms. , put the quilt on the bed, and sat beside Chen Yusheng himself, and said, "I'm afraid you are not used to the cold and humid south, so I brought you another quilt."

"Thank you." Chen Yusheng patted the quilt. The fabric was a little damp, and he leaned back subconsciously, a few centimeters away from Wei Jiang, in an evasive posture. He didn't want to have any ambiguous relationship with Wei Jiangyuan in this place. .

Wei Jiangyuan didn't mind, he didn't chase and beat him like he was when Suijiang, but he became a little dull. "Yusheng, I want to talk to you."

Chen Yusheng nodded, waiting for the other party to speak.

Wei Jiangyuan said: "Actually, I was thinking just now that I really regret asking you to come to my house."

Chen Yusheng was a little surprised, and asked back: "How to say? Isn't this exactly what you want?"

Wei Jiangyuan shook his head and sighed, "I wanted to get back together with you outright, and wanted you to see the actual situation in my family, but today it looks like a moral kidnapping."

"..." Chen Yusheng didn't speak, he didn't even know what to say.

"A lot of embarrassing things are in front of you, naked. In fact, when facing my father's problem, I still deal with it very rusty. I have made too many ugly things, and I will make you laugh." He opened his palm, and saw a ring in it, "Yusheng, I won't force you anymore, really, this is probably the worst time I ever made a mistake, if you don't accept it, I don't even have any ideas, Because my family is in such a situation, I have to face many things. Sometimes I do a lot of things in a hurry, does it seem particularly naive? In fact, I just can’t let go of you in my heart, and I struggle in vain. Today, let me recognize this fact." He withdrew his hand, clutching the ring, got up, walked to the window, raised his arms, and was about to throw the ring out of the window.

Seeing that he was so impulsive, Chen Yusheng stood up without waiting for him to reply, stepped forward to stop him, and in Wei Jiangyuan's shocked face, said: "I said, since I'm here, I will After careful consideration, why should you do this." He still softened his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jiangyuan hugged him in the next second...

Wei Jiangyuan cried, the worst cry since they met.

In this small town in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful mountains and clear waters, time passed very slowly. Chen Yusheng seemed to have indescribable patience, playing games, fishing, and walking with Wei Jiangyuan's sick father... he was more dedicated than a son.

There are too many and complicated people he needs to get in touch with every day. Such a pure and thoughtless old man is really rare. Although the other party still regards him as Wei Jiangtao, he doesn't feel offended.

The three to five days stretched like three to five months, and the days without thinking about anything were quite leisurely.Before leaving, Wei Jiangyuan's mother told him: "Come here often when you are free. Your uncle and I like you very much." She also looked very kind. ——This could be regarded as a kind of recognition by the elders for the relationship between him and Wei Jiangyuan, but they all had a tacit understanding and did not mention each other's agreement.

When you come, there are two people who come, but when you go, you go by one person.Wei Jiangyuan originally said that he was going to send him to Shanghai, but it happened that he drove back with his father because he had an appointment with a doctor.

Chen Yusheng refused, he was afraid that Wei Jiangyuan would return to Shanghai early and the old man would not get used to it.

At his insistence, Chen Yusheng went on the road by himself, took the plane, and returned to Zhangzhou.

"So, what do you think?" Gong Yuechao asked again after hearing all this.

Chen Yusheng looked at the scenery outside the restaurant and shook his head, "I have no idea." After finishing speaking, he gave him a tired smile, "Let's just let it be, I probably won't be able to get involved in this life. Wei Jiangyuan is already in the Suijiang bought a house and a business, and I gave up a lot. If he has the heart, I hope he can change his mood and start again, without worrying about family and other inexplicable factors. If he really gives up, then Let’s just leave it at that, and no one owes anyone anything anyway.”

Gong Yuechao nodded.

In a relationship, the most important thing is to have a clear conscience.
