blank count

Yang Shiyu's birthday is December 12, the last day of the year.

At least half a month ago, Jin Zhou was counting the days every day hoping that this day would come soon, but when this day really came, if he hadn't set the alarm in advance on a whim, I'm afraid he could really forget about it.

From the corner of the closet, Jin Zhou dug out the things he had prepared, stuck the ears of two fluffy puppies in his hair, turned around and said to Yang Shiyu, "Honey, do you like it?"

Yang Shiyu sat up slowly from the bed, stretched out his long hand to turn on the bedside lamp, looked at Jin Zhou and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Today is your birthday." Jin Zhou hurriedly changed into dog-tailed underwear, put a collar around his neck, and hopped back to bed, "Of course I will do what you love."

"Puppy is full of energy." Yang Shiyu picked up the gold-rimmed glasses from the bedside table and put them on. The anti-slip chain dangled under the warm-colored bedside lamp, reflecting the quiet light, "Give me the handcuffs."

Jin Zhou searched in the box and handed the handcuffs to Yang Shiyu.

"Don't want this." Yang Shiyu said, "I want fetters."

Jin Zhou buried his head in the box again, but he quickly realized that something was wrong. His two dog ears suddenly stood up, and he looked at Yang Shiyu and asked, "How do you know there are shackles?"

Yang Shiyu didn't answer, but said without changing his expression, "Give it to me."

"Have you seen what's in the box?" Jin Zhou immediately realized that his surprise had already been exposed, "Well, you bastard, you've seen it a long time ago and you haven't made a sound. Who are you acting as an old pervert? Woolen cloth?"

"Who is the dog?" Yang Shiyu grabbed the chain on the collar and pulled a certain puppy under him.

10 minute later.

"I am! I am a dog!"

"Good, husband."

Yang Shiyu had to go to work the next day. Jin Zhou got up early in the morning and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for his lord judge. He yawned and came to the bedroom: "Honey, get up and eat."

Yang Shiyu obviously also looked sleepy. He rubbed the center of his brows, pulled himself together, put on his gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Jin Zhou and asked, "Is your butt okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm patient, fuck it." Jin Zhou didn't know why he was so proud, "I'm only in my 20s, and you're [-] today, Judge Yang."

Yang Shiyu turned over and got out of bed, took off his pajamas, raised his eyebrows sleepily and asked, "Why, you're waiting for me, can't fuck you?"

"You said that word again." Jin Zhou frowned unhappily, "I quit smoking because of you, so can't you stop swearing because of me?"

Yang Shiyu put on his shirt in silence, and said after a while, "Okay."

There was a satisfied smile in the corner of Jin Zhou's eyes, and he continued the topic just now: "I'm just waiting for you to stop."

Yang Shiyu walked out of the bedroom with a calm expression, and walked past Jin Zhou: "Then you wait for another few decades."

Jin Zhou followed Yang Shiyu's pace: "Just wait."

Changshou noodles are a simple version, with eggs and vegetables.

Jin Zhou and Yang Shiyu were quietly eating their respective bowls of noodles, both relieving the sleepiness caused by the strenuous exercise last night.

There was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding in the room, and it seemed a little deserted on this supposedly lively day.

After all, it was due to excessive exercise. Jin Zhou was too tired to even eat. He simply stopped what he was doing, looked at Yang Shiyu who was opposite him and said, "Remember to make a birthday wish."

"Yeah." Yang Shiyu responded, and seemed to have already thought about what wish he wanted to make.

Jin Zhou didn't ask Yang Shiyu about the content of his wish, because it would be ineffective to say something like a birthday wish.

Jin Zhou's birthday was in March, the third year of high school. He made a wish that he would be admitted to the University of Political Science and Law and that he would be Yang Shiyu's junior, and then... he never said his wish on his birthday.

"What are your plans next?" Yang Shiyu asked suddenly.

The topic came a bit abruptly, Jin Zhou bit his chopsticks and was stunned: "Plan?"

"It's about Liu Yongchang." Yang Shiyu said.

Jin Zhou lowered his gaze unconsciously, without much emotion on his face: "I don't know."

Although Jin Zhou was 17% sure that Liu Yongchang was the murderer of the murder case [-] years ago, but he had no evidence, and the two had many friends in common, so he really didn't know what to do.

He could almost imagine that if he told Hu Zi about this, Hu Zi would definitely not choose to stand in line, but would persuade him, "Brother Jin, you should not talk nonsense without evidence."

Xiao Wu may be slightly biased towards him, but what's the point?

Could it be that if 100 of the 51 brothers favored him, would he be able to obtain spiritual victory or comfort?

- No way.

It just throws his life into even greater chaos.

"Do you still dislike my group of friends?" Jin Zhou raised his eyes, looked at Yang Shiyu and asked, "I remember when we met in Tongzilou, you were very disgusted with my group of friends."

"It's okay now." Yang Shiyu said, "Your friend is also my friend."

"Wife, you are so kind." Jin Zhou was deeply moved, he sighed, and said, "But I may have no friends."

The most embarrassing thing about Jin Zhou and Liu Yongchang's situation is that they are both the center of the circle, and it is impossible for the brothers to bypass them to deal with.This is as if the king of the mountain and the second king had an insoluble conflict, and they could no longer live in peace in the same mountain.

Jin Zhou could continue to investigate the case back then, either to return Liu Yongchang's innocence, or to send Liu Yongchang to prison, but he really doesn't have such leisure now, because Liu Qian still has some things he wants to confirm.

"It's so annoying." Jin Zhou rubbed the back of his head carelessly, "Why are all the things piled up at this moment."

"If you want to continue investigating Liu Yongchang, you can find some new evidence and hand it over to the police for investigation." Yang Shiyu said, "Criminal investigation is the work of the police, and there are limits to what lawyers can do."

More than limited, when a lawyer does not have the right to investigate, he can only reason based on the existing clues, like Jin Zhou, even if he is infinitely close to the truth of the matter, he cannot say with certainty that the matter is exactly what he said.

"But how to find new evidence?" Jin Zhou frowned and asked, "The case has been going on for so long, where is there any new evidence?"

"It doesn't have to be new witnesses and physical evidence, as long as it's suspicious." Yang Shiyu said, "One of my classmates has a forensic doctor, so I can introduce you to it. If you talk to the forensic doctor, maybe you can find some things that you overlooked before. detail."

"Headache." Jin Zhou grabbed his hair into a messy chicken coop, "Why do I have to do these things?"

Just like what Yang Shiyu said, investigating cases is the job of the police, as is the serial murder case. How did Jin Zhou look like a non-staff?

"Of course you don't have to do it, it all depends on your mood." Yang Shiyu's position is very clear, no matter what Jin Zhou's plan is next, he will support it.

"Let's talk about it later." Jin Zhou said listlessly.

The feeling of losing a friend is not good after all, not to mention that Jin Zhou already had a premonition that he was about to lose most of his friends.

Most of the brothers who hang out with Liu Yongchang put loyalty first. If Jin Zhou really sent Liu Yongchang to prison, he estimated that those brothers would think it was his betrayal of Liu Yongchang.

But Jin Zhou really couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

Liu Yongchang is obviously suspected of murder, how could he still treat him as a friend?

"I found out..." Jin Zhou looked at Yang Shiyu who was eating noodles indifferently and said with a sad face, "I seem to lose my circle of life."

"Yeah." Yang Shiyu had obviously seen this result a long time ago, "It will be difficult for you to be among your friends."

The authorities were obsessed with the bystanders, and Jin Zhou didn't realize until now that he could no longer continue his previous life.

If you check Liu Yongchang, you will lose your existing circle; if you don't check Liu Yongchang, you will have trouble getting over that hurdle.

No matter which choice he chooses, it is not friendly to Jin Zhou.

"Let's just get out of here." Jin Zhou had this thought in his mind, "It's shameful to escape, but it's useful."

"Where are you going?" Yang Shiyu asked.

"The south, where there is plenty of sunshine." As Jin Zhou spoke, the vague thoughts in his mind became more and more clear, "It's best to be an island with plenty of sunshine! We can buy a boat and go to sea if we want."

Yang Shiyu lowered his eyes and pondered: "It seems to be good."

"Yes!" Jin Zhou excitedly took out his mobile phone, "Let me take a look."

"You want to leave now?" Yang Shiyu raised his eyebrows, and poured a basin of cold water on Jin Zhou's head, "Don't you care about Wang Hetai? You didn't kill anyone, and you didn't figure it out."

Hearing these words, Jin Zhou froze for a moment, propping his chin with his hands in a sluggish way: "Why is it so difficult to be a human being?"

"How could it be so exaggerated?" Yang Shiyu stood up, rubbed Jin Zhou's head like a chicken coop, picked up two empty bowls, and turned to the kitchen, "Do one by one, and wait until these things are settled , I will accompany you wherever you want to go."

"Then I'm going to a sunny island." Jin Zhou can only rely on his imagination to comfort himself, "I want to go to the beach every day to see handsome guys, see their abs and buttocks, it's exciting to think about."

"Okay." Yang Shiyu turned his back to Jin Zhou, and said in a calm tone, "After reading it, come back and describe it to me."

That will definitely be another crazy meal.

Thinking of this, Jin Zhou smiled, took out his mobile phone again, and looked at the ticket price: "You have three days off for New Year's Day, right? We can go and see first."

Yang Shiyu was washing the dishes, as if he didn't hear what Jin Zhou said, he turned his back to Jin Zhou and didn't answer.

"How about going to Hainan?" Jin Zhou raised his voice and asked, "We set off tonight and come back on the night of the [-]rd. We can still stay for two or three days."

The air ticket price on the screen is very expensive, but Jin Zhou has ample savings, and it is not a problem to afford this trip.

The sound of water in the kitchen stopped abruptly, and Yang Shiyu came out wiping his hands and said, "I can't go on New Year's Day."

"Huh?" Jin Zhou asked strangely, "Why?"

"There is something I wanted to tell you." Yang Shiyu pushed his glasses, "Wang Hetai invited me to his cruise ship for New Year's Eve."

"What?" Jin Zhou stood up abruptly from his chair, "When are you going to tell me about this?"

"Right now." Yang Shiyu said.

Jin Zhou took a deep breath: "He was released just now, and he must be investigating what's going on now. He invited you to the New Year's Eve. Doesn't this mean it's a Hongmen banquet?"

"It's not just me." Yang Shiyu said in a flat tone, "Most of the guests at the masked reception will attend. Wang Hetai meant to show that the previous reception was just an ordinary reception. He also wanted to invite these guests to the New Year's Eve. Said that such gatherings are common."

Wang Hetai's motives were reasonable, but Jin Zhou always felt inexplicably flustered.

"I don't feel very good, Yang Shiyu." Jin Zhou frowned and said, "I didn't feel very good the day my parents had an accident. I don't want you to go."

"But if I don't go," Yang Shiyu paused, "it will arouse Wang Hetai's suspicion."

This is.

If everyone else went to participate, but Yang Shiyu didn't go, it would be tantamount to telling Wang Hetai that there was something wrong with Yang Shiyu.

"Then you take me too." Jin Zhou said, "In short, don't act alone anymore."

"Impossible." Yang Shiyu shook his head, "Every guest has a specific invitation card, it's not that you can get in if you want to."

Seeing that he was about to be late for work, Yang Shiyu stopped talking to Jin Zhou and left home.

Jin Zhou knew that Yang Shiyu didn't want him to go with him at all, but he really felt something was wrong, so he took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Rui: "Is your boss Wang still looking for that cheongsam beauty?"
