soldiers in front

Hearing the word 'Su Xingye', the corners of Xia Bingyang's eyes twitched, and he felt very unhappy, and asked coldly, "Su Xingye's cat?"

Xia Hang felt that his words had some meaning, and asked suspiciously, "Brother, do you know Lawyer Su?"

Xia Bingyang turned his head unnaturally to avoid Xia Hang's gaze, and reluctantly replayed the scene of meeting Su Xingye back then in his mind, and suddenly felt his face was hot, so he quickly drank a few sips of wine.

Xia Hang saw that he stopped swearing, but calmed down, thinking that he and Su Xingye were friends and seemed to be persuaded, so he begged: "Brother, let this kitten stay with you for a few days, wait I found the house and moved out of the house and picked it up."

Xia Bingyang squinted at him: "You want to move out and live by yourself? Dreaming."

"I know my parents probably won't agree, but I have to give it a try. Anyway, I'm an adult, why can't I live by myself."

The topic tended to go off track, Xia Bingyang brought back the conversation in time, and said indisputably: "No, this little thing won't stay at my house all day. If you want to stay here, send it away, or I'll kill you two. Pack it up and throw it out."

Xia Hang hugged the cat and sent it to Xia Bingyang: "It's so cute, look!"

A small milk cat the size of a palm scared Xia Bingyang to the point of rolling back and forth, almost swearing: "Take it away!"

Xia Hang said in shock: "Brother, are you really afraid of cats?"

Xia Bingyang crawled all the way to the other side of the sofa, glanced at the orange kitten in his hand through his fingers, then quickly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is afraid of it? I hate it!"

Xia Bingyang has been afraid of cats for many years, and the source can be traced back to when he was seven years old.One day by chance, he found a stray cat hiding in the grass on the way home from school. The cat had slender limbs, was hungry and emaciated, and stared unkindly at the little boy squatting in front of it with two shiny green eyes.

At that time, Xia Bingyang was not afraid of the cat, so he took out snacks from his schoolbag and fed it. Seeing that it would not eat, he pushed down on its head and forcibly fed it.But it was this action that stimulated the untamed wild cat. The wild cat raised its tail and screamed sharply, bared its teeth and scratched a few bloodstains on his wrist, before running away.

Since then, the wild cat's raised tail, piercing cry and sharp claws have left an indelible shadow on Xia Bingyang's young heart.Of all the cats, he was afraid of cats, and he was afraid of cats to death.Since then, when I saw a cat, I kept away a few feet away, and as time went by, I couldn't even be approached by a cat.

He has a deep grudge against this hairy, alert and vicious animal.I always feel that when they look at people with two eyes, they are thinking about where to mouth.

"Oh, since you are not afraid, let it stay here for a few days."

Before Xia Bingyang could dismiss it, Xia Hang said again: "Anyway, you're not at home all day long, and you two can't touch each other, and it can't bother you. Don't worry, brother, I'm in your care, and I'll come over on time to feed you." It eats, and I promise not to cause you trouble. I even bought a nest for it, and put it on the balcony to ensure that its presence is very low."

Xia Bingyang glanced at the cat through his fingers again, but still refused: "No."

Xia Hang hugged the cat and knelt down to him with a thud, looking like he was about to cry: "Brother, I beg you, I have never begged you to do anything for me since I was a child, so this time is not enough? I really had no choice but to bring it here, and I will pick it up as soon as I move out of the house, please."

His half-brother Jingui said so much, even a cold-faced person like Xia Bingyang couldn't say no to him, his softened heart could no longer be hardened, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Get up." ,I agreed."

Xia Hang turned from worry to joy: "Really?"

"If you ask one more question, I will regret it."

"Don't don't."

Xia Hang hurriedly stood up, pounced on his knees, and said with a chuckle, "Then I'll build a nest for it, and put it by the window so it doesn't take up space."

In order not to let the cat occupy a lot of space, Xia Bingyang felt that he had to supervise the work, so he lifted his legs up to the bar counter with his wine glass in his hand, sat down cross-legged on the bar counter, and watched Xia Hang set up a cat by the French window while sipping a drink. nest.

Xia Hang bought a very luxurious cat litter in the style of a castle, as well as a series of things such as a food bowl, a cat climbing frame, and cat litter, and he has the potential to settle here.Xia Bingyang suddenly regretted it.

A blanket was spread by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the orange cat walked and stopped on the blanket.Xia Bingyang was afraid that it would pee, so he frowned and stared at it, and then he could see the cat's appearance clearly.

Although he has never raised a cat before, he can also recognize that this kitten is not registered abroad, nor is it from a famous family. It seems to be just an ordinary domestic cat.The whole body is covered with soft orange fur, and there are faint white stripes in the fur. Because of the small face, the eyes appear to be big, round and black, and it can be held up with only one palm.

Xia Bingyang couldn't help worrying that he would accidentally step on it to death.

From the time of entering the door until now, the sky has brightened unconsciously, and the faint morning light slanted in from the high-rise buildings, leaving a faint yellow edge on the French windows.

Xia Bingyang supported his forehead and sighed lowly. He planned to take the time to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by Su Xingye's cat until now.

Su Xingye's cat...

Xia Bingyang raised his eyes and looked at the cat again, pursing his lips tightly, his eyes became complicated.

His attention was all on Su Xingye's cat, and he didn't notice that the phone rang. It was Xia Hang who took the phone he had thrown at the bathroom door and handed it to him: "Brother, answer the phone."

Seeing the caller ID, Xia Bingyang subconsciously wanted to find a quiet place, but he was too lazy to move, so he sat on the bar and connected the call.

He rubbed his face hard, trying to make his voice sound more energetic: "Good morning."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Zheng was sitting in the dining room having breakfast.

Aunt Wu boiled a pot of seafood porridge. The porridge was so mushy that it looked like rice paste.Ji Zheng didn't have much appetite, so he pushed the bowl aside after two sips, distracted Aunt Wu to help him pour a glass of milk, when he heard that the phone was connected.

He took the glass of milk that Aunt Wu handed to him, first said to Aunt Wu in a low voice, 'Wake up Xiao Qu', and then smiled slightly: "Morning. Excuse me for your rest?"

"No, I-"

The sentence 'I didn't sleep at all' turned into: "I've already woken up."

Xia Bingyang held the mobile phone between his shoulders, picked up the wine bottle and threw all the remaining drops into the glass, and said, "I was just about to call you. When you called me yesterday, I was arresting people. The scene was too chaotic. It’s not convenient to say more.”

Ji Zheng slowly turned the warm milk cup and asked, "Is there any progress?"

Xia Bingyang threw the empty wine bottle aside and sighed wistfully: "There is progress... there is."

Ji Zheng didn't reply, took a sip of milk, and waited for his next post.

Xia Bingyang paused for a while and said: "In Hong Xin's case, I suspect that Peng Mao is not the murderer, and the real murderer has not been caught yet. After Hong Xin, there are two more victims. The murderer's modus operandi is similar to that of killing Hong Xin. I think there is a possibility of imitating the crime. These days, four or five people were interrogated, two were arrested, and finally the murderer who killed the No.3 victim was caught. He was indeed imitating the murder of Hong Xin. The details of committing the crime are regarded as imitation killings, but he killed a person, and the No.2 victim has nothing to do with him. He was still in jail when the No.2 victim was killed."

Xia Bingyang's expressive ability is very good, and his narration is clear and logical. Even though Ji Zheng has not understood the whole case, he quickly understood the situation he was facing at this time.

Ji Zheng concluded: "You caught a murderer, but there are still murderers who haven't caught?"

Xia Bingyang forgot that he couldn't see, nodded and said: "Yes."

Ji Zheng pondered for a moment, then asked: "There are three victims in total, how many murderers are there?"

Xia Bingyang said: "Two, or three, I prefer three."

"Who imitated whom?"

"The No.2 murderer and the No.3 murderer imitate the No.1 murderer."

Ji Zheng thought to himself, in other words, there were two murderers suspected of copying the crime.

"Do you have eyebrows?"

Ji Zheng asked.

Xia Bingyang rubbed his forehead wearily, and said: "At present, we are at the end of our rope, and we can't find any new clues."

"There are no clues in Hong Xin's case?"

Xia Bingyang stopped talking, and said after a while: "There are, but it's not easy to check."

Ji Zheng was keenly aware of the flickering of his words, so he didn't continue to ask, and said: "I plan to go to Lei Honggen's house today."

Xia Bingyang's thoughts were all tied to the murder of the three women, and he couldn't find Lei Honggen in his mind for a while, so he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot."

Gong Haiqiang's car accident was almost forgotten by him.

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "You have to figure out whether Gong Haiqiang has turned around or not."

"Are you going to find Lei Honggen's family?"

"Yes, my side is almost at the end of its rope, so I can only do everything I can."

Xia Bingyang remembered that Ji Zheng had been running around for his affairs these days, and he was still so caring, so he thanked him from the bottom of his heart, so he covered half of his face and smiled tiredly, saying: "Thank you, brother Ji Zheng."

He heard Ji Zheng only say 'no', and then there was a rustle, Ji Zheng seemed to be ready to go out.

When the phone quieted down, Ji Zheng said: "That's it, contact me again."

Xia Bingyang suddenly looked up at the orange kitten walking back and forth on the carpet, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

As soon as Ji Zheng walked into the living room, he stopped when he heard the words: "Huh?"

Xia Bingyang lowered his head again, his face flushed as if he had drunk too much, a very pale color appeared on the part of his neck exposed from the neckline of his bathrobe, he hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice: "You...you Did you break up with Su Xingye?"

Hearing him mention Su Xingye, Ji Zheng was a little surprised. After all, in his impression, Xia Bingyang had only met Su Xingye twice and had never talked with him. He had never introduced Su Xingye to Xia Bingyang.He didn't expect Xia Bingyang to still remember Su Xingye.

Ji Zheng put the suit jacket in his hand on the back of the sofa, bent over slightly, supported the back of the sofa with his hands in silence for a while, and then whispered: "Yes, how do you know?"

Xia Bingyang pinched the rim of the cup tightly, and the glass rattled as he pinched it, threatening to break.He put down the wine glass in his hand, and found that his fingertips were squeezed flat by the wall of the glass, rubbed his fingertips and said, "I met him two days ago." Speaking of this, Xia Bingyang decided to speak more clearly, deliberately pretending to be natural Said: "He still remembers me."

The clearer he spoke, the more uncertain Ji Zheng's heart became. He passively thought of the scorching hot afternoon when his relationship with Xia Bingyang changed like waves of cicadas.Xia Bingyang stood at the door, looking at him with terrified eyes.

He lowered his head slightly and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Really."

Xia Bingyang couldn't see Ji Zheng, so he couldn't understand who Ji Zheng was talking about in his slightly melancholy tone, and thought Ji Zheng thought of Su Xingye.His heart was suddenly sore and depressed, and his tone unconsciously became cold: "Yes, I chatted with him for a while, and he is also looking for you."

He was only envious of Su Xingye, and didn't realize that he had used the word 'also'.

Ji Zheng noticed it, which made his heart tremble slightly, and couldn't help but wonder if Xia Bingyang was also looking for him?Then why did Xia Bingyang seek him?

Ji Zheng came back to his senses, coughed lowly and said: "It's getting late, let's talk next time."

If Xia Bingyang is willing to think carefully about Ji Zheng's words, he will find that the words spoken by Ji Zheng, who has always been rigorous, do not match the preface and the afterword, and he is suspected of avoiding it with an excuse.

Ji Zheng seemed a little panicked.

Xia Bingyang said: "Okay, let's talk next time."

He threw down his cell phone and looked at the little orange cat sleeping in the castle. It was like a gust of fresh air entering his body, and his whole body felt much more refreshed.Nothing made him happier than hearing the news that Ji Zheng and Su Xingye had indeed broken up from Ji Zheng's mouth, and even a very shallow smile appeared on his face, as if he was proud and showing off.

He is now suddenly a little glad that Ji Zheng is missing, because Su Xingye can't find Ji Zheng, but he can get in touch with Ji Zheng. His way of contacting Ji Zheng is unique. Even if he tells Su Xingye, Su Xingye may not be able to succeed. .No, he believed that Su Xingye would definitely not succeed.

Xia Bingyang recalled the provocative look that Su Xingye threw at him at the police station, and only now did he dare to raise his head proudly under Su Xingye's mocking gaze.

So what if Su Xingye and Ji Zheng were together?Ji Zheng personally said that he and Su Xingye had broken up, so Su Xingye was just an old friend who never met again for Ji Zheng.But he is different. Although he and Ji Zheng also lost contact for a few years, they were tied together tightly by a phone call. Compared with Su Xingye, he is the person "around" Ji Zheng.

He finally beat Su Xingye once.
