remain silent

"What?" Sun Zheyang was lying on the recliner, holding the mobile phone in one hand, and resting the other hand behind his head.

Han Chenxin sat on the bed and said into the phone, "I'm not going back tonight."

"Huh—huh?" Sun Zheyang asked, "Is your mother serious?"

"No," Han Chenxin said, "She's fine, but I plan to stay overnight tonight."

Sun Zheyang heard the words and said: "Okay, then I don't need to see you off tomorrow morning?"

Han Chenxin said softly, "No need."

Sun Zheyang then said: "Okay, is there anything else? It's okay, I'll hang up?"

"Wait a minute," Han Chenxin said, "Dad said he found you a job and asked if you could go."

"What job?"

"I went to work as a driver in their unit, and it was said to be more than 2000 a month, including three meals a day."

"Their unit?" Sun Zheyang laughed, "Forget it, I don't want to see him every day."

Han Chenxin said, "Think about it again."

Sun Zheyang said in a nonchalant tone: "Okay, I will think about it," and then said, "It's time to hang up."

"Well," Han Chenxin also hung up the phone.

Just as he put his cell phone on the bedside table, Han Chenxin's phone rang again suddenly, so he had to reach out to take it, and saw that the caller ID indicated that it was Zhao Jia.

Han Chenxin answered the phone.

Zhao Jia's voice came from inside, calling him: "Officer Han."

Han Chenxin immediately realized that Zhao Jia really believed Sun Zheyang's nonsense.He didn't expose Sun Zheyang either, but said in a deep voice, "It's me."

Zhao Jia's voice was low and a little nervous. She said, "Liang Jing, when he came back on the night of September No. 30, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he came back after I had already gone to bed."

Han Chenxin said, "Understood."

Zhao Jia seemed to be hesitating, and seemed to be crying. She sniffed and said, "Also, when he came back that day, he had a wound on his shoulder. I asked him how it hurt, and he said he accidentally scratched it while moving things. Hurt, I don't know if it has something to do with this matter..."

Hearing what she said, Han Chenxin immediately remembered the fruit knife that Zhu Xiaoyan had never found at home. Sun Zheyang said that Zhu Xiaoyan stabbed him with the fruit knife, so he left the house, but no one found it at the scene of the crime. that knife.

"Okay," Han Chenxin comforted Zhao Jia first, "Thank you for your cooperation, we all know the situation, don't tell Liang Jing about this, and pay attention to your own safety."

"Well, I know," Zhao Jia said.

Just as Han Chenxin was about to hang up the phone, Zhao Jia hurriedly asked again: "Officer Han, if, I mean if, Liang Jing really killed him, will he be sentenced to death?"

Han Chenxin was silent for a while, and said, "The sentence is decided by the judge. I can't tell you anything now. I'm sorry."

After hanging up the phone, Han Chenxin opened the address book and found Sun Zheyang's number and wanted to dial it, but he hesitated after pressing his finger on it, and finally decided to talk about it tomorrow. He put the phone away, turned off the lamp and lay down to sleep.

Early the next morning, Han Zhong went out to buy breakfast and came back. The family sat at the dining table eating steamed stuffed buns and drinking porridge.

Xu Jiayi asked Han Chen, "Are you coming back tonight?"

Han Chenxin originally wanted to say that he couldn't come back, but when he saw Xu Jiayi and Han Zhong looking at him, he changed his words, "Come back."

Xu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go buy some food that night and come back."

"Yes," Han Chen agreed heartily.

Going to work in the morning, Han Chenxin went directly with Zhang Chuan and the others to the detention center to question him.

As expected, Jiang Hua said that she didn't know anything.

Han Chenxin asked him: "You don't know the amount of such a large transaction? Have you ever thought about what this box is? It's worth more than gold?"

Jiang Hua said bluntly: "I don't know the transaction amount, I don't even know what they brought is money, I'm just responsible for taking back the boxes brought by the other party."

Han Chenxin said, "It doesn't matter if the other party gives you a pile of blank paper?"

Jiang Hua said, "Yes."

Knowing that the other party was talking nonsense, Han Chenxin was powerless at this moment. He said, "What about the person who entrusted you with the transaction?"

Jiang Hua said, "I always call him Brother Xiang, but I don't know his full name."

"contact details?"

"do not remember."

Jiang Hua's phone didn't save Brother Xiang's phone number at all.

Han Chenxin put down his pen, and said to Jiang Hua, "Do you know how you will be sentenced for such a large amount of drug trafficking?"

Jiang Hua didn't speak, but Han Chenxin noticed that his handcuffed hands were suddenly clenched.

Han Chenxin continued, "Haven't you thought about your family?"

Jiang Hua looked at him and said, "I don't know anything."

Coming out of the interrogation room, Han Chenxin sat on the bench outside and called Sun Zheyang.

"Hello—" Sun Zheyang's ending sound was very long, and his tone was lazy.

Han Chenxin glanced at the time and found that it was past ten o'clock. He was a little surprised, "Are you still sleeping?"

"What time is it?" Sun Zheyang's voice was a little vague, "It's ten o'clock, wake up, what's the matter?"

Normally, Han Chen was on his mind, and Sun Zheyang woke up quite early. He had nothing to do this morning, and he overslept as soon as he slept in.

Han Chenxin was on the phone and told Sun Zheyang what Zhao Jia told him yesterday.

"That's it," Sun Zheyang sat on the edge of the bed, yawned, and then said, "I see, don't worry about it, I will take care of the rest."

"Well," Han Chenxin said, "by the way, I still won't go back tonight."

Sun Zheyang responded: "Okay, I understand."

Then the phone hung up.

Han Chenxin looked at the darkened phone screen. Zhang Chuan, who came out of the interrogation room next door, walked up to him and asked, "Who are you calling?"

Han Chenxin said, "Friend."

Zhang Chuan laughed "hehe" twice, "Girlfriend?"

Han Chenxin smiled and said nothing.It is really difficult for him to explain this matter, because Sun Zheyang and his colleagues are clear about it. If he explains that it is his brother, it will only cause more problems. It would be better to make people misunderstand alright.

Sun Zheyang hadn't seen Han Chenxin for two days. At night, he was still working in the video game mall, chatted with the girl at the front desk for a while, and begged for a few game coins to push coins on the machine.

Around 08:30, Sun Zheyang received a call from a stranger.

He looked at the connection, and heard a nervous girl's voice on the opposite side saying, "It's me..."

Sun Zheyang was still focusing on the game console in front of him, and said casually, "Who are you?"

The girl whispered, "I'm Han Zixin."

Sun Zheyang was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at the time again, and said, "Zixin? Aren't you studying by yourself?"

Han Zixin said, "Yes, I'm at school."

Sun Zheyang stopped the game in his hand and said with concentration: "What's the matter?"

Han Zixin said: "Did you say that I can find you if I have something?"

Sun Zheyang smiled and said, "That's right, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly."

Han Zixin hesitated for a moment, and said in a panic: "Someone sent me a text message, saying that they would wait for me at the school gate after evening self-study, I was very scared, what should I do if I dare not go out?"

Sun Zheyang looked a little more serious, "Who is it?"

Han Zixin said: "It's someone from outside the school. He keeps calling and texting me. I'm afraid of him. I don't want to see him."

Sun Zheyang took a deep breath, "Why didn't you tell your brother?"

Han Zixin said, "I dare not."

Sun Zheyang felt a little helpless, he stood up and asked, "What time do you leave for self-study? Wait for me to pick you up."

After finishing the call with Han Zixin, Sun Zheyang saw that the time was almost up, so he asked for a leave of absence and drove away.

When Sun Zheyang arrived at the gate of Han Zixin's school, it happened to be the evening self-study, many students poured out of the school, it was the busiest time at the school gate.

He sat in the car and looked outside, but he didn't see Han Zixin, and he didn't know who was the person Han Zixin said was waiting for her at the school gate, so he could only take out his mobile phone and call Han Zixin.

Han Zixin answered the phone and said that she was near the school gate, but she dared not come out.

Sun Zheyang opened the door and got out of the car, walked towards the front of the school gate, and said as he walked, "I've arrived at your school gate, come out, it's all right."

After a while, Sun Zheyang saw Han Zixin running towards him holding two books in front of the school gate.

Han Zixin looked very nervous, she didn't dare to look around, but when she saw Sun Zheyang, she grabbed his sleeve tightly and said, "Let's go."

Sun Zheyang nodded, and led Han Zixin towards the parking lot.

At this time, he suddenly heard a young man calling Han Zixin's name loudly. Immediately afterwards, Sun Zheyang saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy running in front of them and stopped them.

"Han Zixin," said the young man, "where are you going?"

Han Zixin said, "I'm going home."

The young man looked at Sun Zheyang and asked, "Who is he?"

Sun Zheyang was a little amused, he stretched out his hand to smoke a cigarette and lit it, then grabbed Han Zixin's hand and pulled him behind him, stepped forward and said to the young man: "Who am I? You can control me? Listen , Han Zixin doesn't like you, if you pester her again in the future, I'll break your leg!"

The boy stared wide-eyed, with an expression of disbelief, but seeing that Sun Zheyang was tall, he didn't dare to make a move.

Sun Zheyang pushed him away with one hand, and pulled Han Zixin over to get into the car.

Until the car drove away, Sun Zheyang still saw the boy standing in place watching them from the rearview mirror, and Han Zixin beside him seemed a little restless.

Sun Zheyang asked: "Do you like him?"

Han Zixin shook her head quickly.

Sun Zheyang said: "That's good, if he comes to pester you in the future, you can call me."

"Okay," Han Zixin whispered, "Thank you...Brother."

Sun Zheyang glanced at her, but didn't agree to her big brother.
