In late December, the verdicts for Fang Yushan and Fang Sihe's crimes were finally handed down.

Because Fang Sihe's crime was extremely serious and harmful to society, he was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.

Fang Yushan was sentenced to life imprisonment and will be imprisoned early next year. Since her accomplice Ji Shuwang's injuries in the past few days have not fully healed and she cannot be discharged from the hospital, the judgment notice will be postponed until after she is discharged from the hospital.

After recovering from the previous rescue, no matter how much the police asked her about the motive of committing the crime, she kept silent and just stared out the window blankly and numbly.

Perhaps being rescued was just a continuation of her pain.

Afterwards, Ji Liao took the initiative to write a visitation letter to the superior department, and went to visit her in the ward with his eldest brother Ji Heng—her eyes seemed to fluctuate a little, but she still didn't speak anymore, and she became completely speechless. puppets.

So the two brothers of the Ji family didn't say anything more.

They were regretful and sad at the same time. They knew in their hearts that there would be such a day, but they were also sad that they would never see their happy, talkative and laughing sister again.

The day has finally come.

A few days before Fang Yushan was imprisoned, he applied to the higher authorities, saying that he wanted to meet his adoptive son who had been with him for more than [-] years, and that he had something to give him.

The request was reasonable, and the application was approved, so on the morning of December 31, Yoshiko went to the detention center as scheduled, asked Ji Liao to wait at the gate, and went in to meet Fang Yushan himself.

After a while, he came out of the detention center and asked Ji Liao to drive him home.

"He said he wanted to give me something," Yan Cun said, "and put it in the inner pocket of the bachelor's uniform in my closet. He said he made this thing before he adopted me, and he never found a chance to give it to me."

"What?" Ji Liao asked, "Wardrobe? The inner pocket of the bachelor's suit? It's so obvious?"

"Yeah..." Yan Cun recalled for a while, since he graduated, he never touched the bachelor's uniform again, and he didn't know what was hidden inside, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, probably .”

He thought about the place of 'inner pocket of bachelor's uniform', and added: "It shouldn't be a big thing that can be put in the pocket."

"Ding--"

"Who's on the phone?" Ji Liao asked.

"yours."

"Help me take a look?"

"Okay." Turning on the phone, unlocking the screen with fingerprints, Yan Cun looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Xiao Zhiyu sent you a triple security upgrade for your home, and the fish tank was repaired, so you can go home and have a look. It also implied that you praised Zhang Jingze a few times in front of him."

In fact, Xiao Zhiyu knew the progress of Ji Liao's matter, but after all, this matter is also a family matter, and it is okay to stand on Ji Liao's side to help investigate and investigate in the early stage, but it is really not easy to get involved in the later stage.

In addition, Zhang Jingze has been busy handling cases recently, Xiao Zhiyu was bored, so he leisurely overfulfilled the tasks of "changing locks" and "strengthening security" assigned to him by Ji Liao. He repaired the big fish tank and returned the house to him. Infrared monitoring and security systems are installed inside and out.

"..." Ji Liao said, "Don't brag, as soon as he praises, he will float away."

"Pfft..." Yan Cun laughed for a while, "Let's see what he does later, if it's done well, I'll go to Jingze's place to boast...if it's not done, I'll go and say bad things."

Ji Liao also wanted to laugh a little, and gave a soft "hmm".

He stopped talking, thinking about something quietly in his heart, and grabbed the things in the pocket of the police uniform with one hand as if nothing had happened.

There was a little snow on Qinjiang this morning, and it stopped quickly, leaving a few snow marks on the ground as the wheels passed by.

The Spring Festival next year will be very early, almost approaching the twelfth lunar month.

Now the recent matter has been resolved. Since the last time the interrogation room finished talking about those things, they have never mentioned the matter about Ji Liao's family, Ji Liao's father, and why Ji Liao chose to be a policeman. Son.

Thinking of this, Yan Cun sighed lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Actually, I wanted to talk when I asked the question that afternoon, but there were too many people at that time, and everything I asked would be recorded by the monitor, lest you don't want them to know ——I remember you said before that your first choice is criminal investigation, right?"

"...Well," Ji Liao heard what he wanted to ask, "Actually, I really wanted to tell you this at the time, but after thinking about it, it's better to wait for a chance to say it in private."

He paused for a while, then said again: "I will never have a secret from you, from now on...sometimes secrets are actually a burden to me."

"..." Yan Cun said sincerely, "I want to hear it."

"Hmm..." Ji Liao thought about it for a while, and he didn't know where to start, "Actually, I almost went astray back then."

"?"

"At the beginning I chose to embark on this path. After graduating from high school, I chose to major in public security. Most of the reasons were because of my father." Ji Liao smiled wryly, "The reverse reason."

"I guessed it," Yan Cun nodded, "I guessed it when you said it before."

When Ji Liao talked about his father when he was at Ji's family, he guessed that something was wrong.

"You've heard about my father and Liang Wanyi before. He actually...used bad means to tie Liang Wanyi to him," Ji Liao said. "When my father was still in Zhaoyuan Group, he Contacting Fang Yushan and Fang Sihe at the same time exacerbated the tragedy and established Chengfeng Group by stepping on other people's corpses."

"I thought my father was a good man. I thought my father really worked so hard to build such a big company with his own ability. I used to look forward to him... until he passed away, until I went to investigate Liang Wanyi because of my special wishes. And Fang Sihe, I just realized that my father is a bad person, a very bad person."

At the beginning, he told his father that he wanted to become a policeman, and his father supported him to become a policeman, but it was not until later that he discovered that his father had done so many things that did not conform to his three views. Everything ran counter to his ideals.

After his father passed away, the family fell apart and the world changed in a single thought.

"After the accident, in fact, I also thought about whether I should make the same choice as my brother and stand against justice from now on," Ji Liao said in a tired tone, "I was confused for a long time at the time, and I thought I was not I don't care much about ideals, beliefs, and the like, but I may care more about my family than these... But my elder brother stopped me."

"..." Yan Cun asked in a daze, "You... elder brother?"

"He told me—'Our family is a mess, I'm too tired, I have to carry such a heavy burden, I have to choose this path to be with people like Fang Yushan, I have no energy, no chance to choose Justice...but you still have'."

After listening to this passage, the tip of Yan Cun's nose suddenly became a little sore. After recalling the word "burden" just said by Ji Liao, he didn't say a word for a long time.

"He knew that I wanted to be a policeman. He said that there must be someone in our family who should go in a good direction, and there must be someone who should choose justice."

[We are deeply trapped in the vortex of tragedy, everyone is in the neutral zone of black and white, we have nothing to do, we must do something for ourselves, for our family, and to survive-but you are different, you are still in the same place On the 'clean' side, you have your own persistence, principles, and ideals, so I have only one request for you, don't give up what you have been insisting on. 】

[There are already enough people in the 'vortex', there is no room for one more you. 】

"At first I couldn't listen. I was devastated. I knew in my heart that what he said was right, but if I listened to him and continued to walk my own way, wouldn't it appear that I was too selfish? It took me a long time to make this decision. After careful consideration, I chose an unknown but yearning path. I don't know if this choice is correct, and I don't know if it can end this tragedy..."

He paused for a while and said, "It should be correct, at least I think so now."

After arriving at the destination, he parked the car downstairs, turned off the engine and pulled out the key, lowered his eyes, and said nothing more.

"..." Yan Cun didn't speak either.

The air was silent for a while, and the car stopped downstairs for a long time, neither of them got out of the car first.

"That's right," Yan Cun replied hoarsely, "That's right."

"Well," Ji Liao squeezed the things in his pocket again, and seeing the other person's eyes turning red and about to cry in a second, he couldn't help laughing, "Don't do this, it's no big deal, don't react too much I just want to talk to you all of a sudden, and I just want to talk about it with you."

He sighed: "Let's forget it after hearing it, and be happy after listening, huh?"

"..." Yan Cun let out a breath, "It's okay to be happy, but you can't forget it after hearing it."

He calmed down for a while, and made a joke: "Shouldn't you let me keep this in mind, let me love you more, and let me treat you better in the future?"

"Hmm..." Ji Liao said, "Just say goodbye if you feel bad, it's okay to be nice to me."

After closing the car door, the two walked up the stairs in small steps, rummaged for the key in their pockets for a long time, opened the door and entered the house.

Ji Liao suddenly remembered something, stopped his pace, and added: "Why don't I tell you something happy first? I have to say when did I start to have feelings for you, probably because you had feelings for me before. When I said 'There must be something to look forward to'."

"?" Putting on the slippers, Yan Cun was in a state of confusion, for a long time he didn't remember when he said this, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The 'hope' I lived in this world in the past... probably was to completely end this tragedy," Ji Liao said very seriously, "Now that this matter is finally over, I have no chance to be confused again. Emptiness, I finally have a new hope...you are my new hope."

"..." Caught off guard by the love words, Yan Cun paused for breath, turned his head and stared at Ji Liao for a while, and said in a low voice, "You're right... I don't even have the heart to look for anything, I just want to Kiss you right there."

Ji Liao chuckled, and unexpectedly kissed him on the cheek.

"..." Yan Cun blinked, stepped forward and lightly touched Ji Liao's lips, and said in a low voice, "Back to you."

The two of them were almost at the door of the bedroom, and it was enough to say a few words of love, but now they still had to do something serious, and they had to find out what Fang Yushan said first.

Opening the closet, he found the dusty innermost academic gown, and he rummaged through it back and forth: "Inner bag...where is it?"

There seemed to be something like a metal sheet inside: "Ah...here, what..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

In the inner pocket of the bachelor's uniform, there was a metal plate engraved with the word "Guhong". The body of the plate looked particularly textured under the light, and it was not the same as other brands found in the past.

It looks like it's been polished, it's golden.

"..." He paused for a while, not knowing what to say for a while, before he said in a daze for a long time, "Hey... I also have a brand."

"..." Ji Liao narrowed his eyes, reached out to take the sign, observed it carefully for a while, and didn't know what to say for a while, "This..."

"That's it? I thought it was something..." Yan Cun decisively threw the 'Guhong' brand back into the inner pocket of his bachelor's suit, closed the wardrobe, and said coldly, "Garbage, no more."

"Well," Ji Liao didn't say much, "Then don't, it's quite boring."

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, and he asked, "Are you leaving? Have you gone back? See what Xiao Zhiyu has done to the fish tank?"

"Well," Yan Cun nodded, "I'm hungry, buy some ingredients to go back? I'll eat later."

Ji Liao gave a soft "hmm".

The weather was quite cold, and Ji Liao's house was not far from here. The two of them stopped driving, and stopped by the small supermarket on the street to buy some vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, meatballs, etc., and planned to have hot pot at noon.

Arriving at the door of Ji Liao's house, the two of them found a familiar car parked in front of the door. After a closer look, they realized that there was an unexpected visitor standing in front of the door.

"Hey, what about hot pot?" The eldest brother Ji Heng waved at them, his face was a bit haggard, his beard was not shaved clean, but he seemed to be in a good mood, "Add me?"

"..." Ji Liao couldn't help but 'tsk', thinking about something else in his heart, he said in disgust, "Can you go?"

"Hey, what are you looking for!" Ji Heng's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he approached Yan Cun's shoulders with great acquaintance, and pulled him in together, "I have refused so many times. Can't you run back? What's the matter with a meal?"

Ji Liaoxin said that it's okay to have a meal, and your timing is not very right.

It's just that the boyfriend himself doesn't have any objections, and he's quite happy. He planned it earlier, and after this matter is over, he will settle the important matter of 'meeting the parents'.

The two didn't say a few words during the previous interrogation and court trial, and they didn't have much relationship when they met again. The communication was the same as before, quite harmonious.

Ji Xiaoliao was bitter in his heart, the meal was tasteless, and the cake ordered on the phone was delayed for a while.

——As a result, the delay was too long.

Originally thought that Ji Heng would have to stay here for a long time, but he didn't expect to leave immediately after lunch.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

It was still early, and the snow had stopped outside. The two stayed at home for a while, took a nap, and planned to go outside for a stroll.

Ji Liao didn't expect that this person really didn't remember what day it was today.

The two of them hadn't walked out of the street in front of their house when the bus to the countryside in the eastern suburbs happened to arrive at the stop.Yan Cun paused, as if thinking of something, he picked up Ji Liao and quickly got on the bus, deciding to take the bus back to the site of the arson case, and go back to the place where he lived when he was a child.

Arrive at the destination at about [-]:[-] pm.

"It's almost the same as in memory..." Standing in front of the old fire site, he observed the surrounding environment for a while, and sighed softly, "This street... I seem to have a vague impression, I can't remember clearly gone."

He thought that seeing this place now would cause some turmoil in his heart, and he would feel a little bit sad, but now he didn't seem to feel anything.

it's already over.

"It was published in the newspaper when the accident happened." Ji Liao held his hand. "My father still has the original newspaper in his drawer. I have seen the photos, and it has changed a lot."

"Well," Yan Cun responded in a low voice, took a few steps forward, and said in relief, "If it changes, it will change. After the past, we still have to look forward."

The traces of the original fire are still there. Due to such a tragic accident, there were rumors that the Feng Shui of this land was not good, and the nearby residents have gradually moved out of this place in recent decades.

The two continued to walk along this street, turning left and right, passing the traffic lights and arriving in front of the store on the street.

It's the nursery school from before.

That nursery school closed down at some point. It is estimated that it has changed many tenants in the past few decades, and now it has become a small restaurant that few people go to.

The two opened the door cautiously and entered the store, opened the menu, and chose from thousands of magical dishes such as 'stir-fried bananas with tomatoes' and 'roasted chicken with dragon fruit'. In the end, they just drank a bowl of seaweed soup casually.

There is no way to stay here.

His hometown is not far from here, his grandparents passed away early, and his grandparents didn't live long, so he was the only one left in his family.

In winter, the sun sets early, and at dusk, the twilight slowly falls, and the bus is about to stop running later. The two of them didn't go shopping for a long time, and decided to go back to their hometown to have a look.

"Ding--"

"?" Ji Liao lowered his eyes and looked at his phone. The cake was scheduled to be delivered at [-]:[-] p.m., but he didn't expect it to be delivered to the door two hours earlier, "..."

House seemingly endless rain.

So what ritual was he thinking about a few days ago?Do you have to wait until the cake arrives at night, when the atmosphere is just right to mention this matter and give a gift?

"?" Yan Cun asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..." Ji Liao put away his phone, "Going into the house?"

"Well," Yan Cun stretched out his hand to push the door open, "it's not locked, so I guess there aren't many thieves coming in this desolate place."

He probably didn't have much chance to come here when he was a child, but now he has no impression of the furnishings in this old house, it's quite unfamiliar.

Photos of parents and other deceased elders are hung on the wall, familiar yet unfamiliar.In the past, Fang Yushan didn't bring him back here often because he was afraid of bringing back bad memories of his autism.

No one else lived in the house, but it seemed to have been cleaned.

After staying in the house for a while, the two went to the town to buy a few bouquets of flowers, and when they returned to the back of the house, they were surprised to find that there was a bunch of flowers that hadn't completely withered in front of the tombstone.

"He let it go," Yan Cun said, "It looks like he came here not long ago."

"That's right," Ji Liao said softly, without letting go of his hand from the beginning to the end, "At that time, he should also know...he has nowhere to go."

"Well," Yan Cun stretched out his hand and moved the flowers in front of the stele, "He actually misses my parents, right? During the interrogation, he told me that he... regretted it."

Ji Liao gave a soft "hmm".

Putting the flowers in front of the tombstone, Yan Cun stared blankly at the two names 'Yan Zhao' and 'Geng Ziqi' engraved on the monument for a while, squeezed Ji Liao's hand a little bit, and his eyes felt a little sour.

His voice was stuck in his throat for a long time, and then he said hoarsely: "Mom and Dad..."

"Dad...Mom..." As if he had suddenly returned to his childhood, and returned to his parents, his tone softened a little, and he murmured like a child, "I came to see you, this is my... first See you next time."

"I miss you a lot."

"I was not normal when I was a child. It made you worry a lot and made you worry."

"I'm getting better, I'm really getting better now."

"Don't worry, I will be fine in the future, I will look forward, I will not embarrass myself in the future, I will find a way forward."

"Actually, I can't remember what happened when I was a child. Some time ago, I couldn't even remember what you looked like," he said. Rain, fear of thunder, fear of not thinking about it... I am afraid of too many things."

"..." Ji Liao didn't speak at the side, his hands unconsciously grew stronger, as if he wanted to grab him firmly.

"But I think, I should love you, and you should also love me. You probably also hope that I can find a 'home'..."

He took a deep breath, put back the tears in his eyes, raised the hand holding Ji Liao a little higher, looked at Ji Liao with bright eyes, and said firmly: "I finally... Found a home."

Ji Liao relaxed his strength, paused for a while, and was dazzled by the water in his eyes.

My heart beat a little faster.

For a moment, there were no thoughts or distracting thoughts in my mind.

Perhaps it was on a whim, but Ji Liao thought for a while, remembering that he had never said such a thing, and felt very ritualistic that such words were probably an inevitable process.

The timing was wrong, and the process was different from what he had originally envisioned, but he just wanted to say it all of a sudden.

Thinking of it, he spoke up.

He reached into his pocket and took out the silver ring that had been hidden for a long time. He didn't think about going through any solemn ceremony, and stood there with his back straight.

"Happy birthday, Yan Cun."

He thought for a while, he actually said it, but the other party didn't hear it at the time.

His tone was as casual as everyday, but he said very seriously: "I will always love you... Yan Cun."

"..."

Yan Cun was stunned for a while, and when he realized it, the tears that he hadn't withdrawn just now filled up again.

He replied almost without hesitation: "I love you forever, Ji Liao."

2. Both of them had no one else during the mirror-breaking period.

3. Both of them are neither scum nor stupid, and the reason for breaking up (should be) is not too mentally handicapped.
