soldiers in front

Yao Zichen got up to greet her, took the briefcase from her husband, and said, "They are the police." He paused, and said in a low voice, "They are here for Wu Zheng's business."

Shao Yunfeng smiled at the two policemen, and said, "Sit down first, and I'll take the child to the room." He walked up the stairs while holding the hand of the pale and thin little boy beside him.

Yao Zichen slowly returned to the sofa and sat down, with a look of defensiveness and resistance.

Ren Erdong was about to repeat the question just now, when Xia Bingyang pressed his shoulder suddenly, so he fell silent.

Xia Bingyang pressed Ren Erdong's shoulder and sat down beside Ren Erdong, and naturally changed the subject: "Is that child your son?"

"Yes, his name is Tongtong."

Xia Bingyang nodded, and asked with a smile; "Is it the prototype of the protagonist in 'Dear Indus Tree'?"

Yao Zichen was surprised: "Have you read this comic of mine?"

Xia Bingyang said: "I haven't read it carefully, but I've heard of it. This comic is famous, isn't it? It is said that it even broke the sales record."

Yao Zichen said modestly: "That's nothing, after two years, no one will remember."

"Did you draw this manga for your son Xitong?"

Yao Zichen sighed softly, with a look of sadness on his brows: "Yes, Tongtong has been showing signs of autism since he was two years old. Because of Tongtong's condition, I have checked a lot of information and talked with many doctors. , I realized that there are so many children suffering from the same disease as Tongtong. The little boy in the cartoon I drew is Tongtong. I want Tongtong to be as brave and strong as the protagonist in the cartoon. Since we found Tongtong After Tong Tong fell ill, I stayed at home. Apart from taking care of Tong Tong, I drew comics. I never thought of publishing the comics. It was my husband who persuaded me to submit manuscripts to the publishing house. He kept encouraging me to do something for myself. Later, this book The comic was published. I didn't expect it to be so popular, and I didn't expect to break any sales records. I don't care about these things. I just want to help those children with autism, and I also want to help Tongtong recover from autism as soon as possible. out."

Xia Bingyang said: "Is it also your husband's idea to establish the 'Wutongshu Foundation for Children with Autism'?"

"Yes, Yunfeng said that we can help more children who can't see a doctor get help."

Xia Bingyang looked at her silently for a moment, and said, "You are good people."

Yao Zichen lowered her head and laughed: "If you have a patient in your family, you will understand us. Everything we do is to make Tongtong better." She turned her head to look out the window, and said: "Let God Take care of him."

Shao Yunfeng came down from upstairs, because he was in a hurry to meet the guests, so he didn't have time to change his clothes. He shook hands with Xia Bingyang and Ren Erdong in turn, then sat beside Yao Zichen, and first said to Yao Zichen: "Tongtong is asleep." Then he looked at the two police officers and said with a smile: "Zi Chen told me that the police are coming today, I thought you would arrive in the afternoon." He looked at his watch: "It's past four o'clock, the two police officers haven't eaten yet, right? How about I invite you to dinner and we can chat while eating?"

Xia Bingyang smiled and said, "Don't bother, we'll leave right away."

Shao Yunfeng is stable and shrewd, his whole body reveals the calmness and calmness of a successful person, and he knows how to restrain his edge, so he feels extraordinarily easy-going.

Xia Bingyang sized him up and asked, "Mr. Shao came back from the company?"

"No, I sent Tongtong to see a doctor just now. But I do have to go back to the company later."

Xia Bingyang smiled: "The big boss is always busy."

"No, no, we make clothing, and things will be a little more when the seasons change."

Xia Bingyang stood up and said, "Then don't disturb me."

Shao Yunfeng and his wife sent the police to the door. Before leaving, Xia Bingyang said, "Your mobile phones have been kept active for the past few days. I will contact you at any time."

Shao Yunfeng: "Okay, we must cooperate."

When taking the elevator downstairs, Ren Erdong leaned against the wall of the sedan chair, feeling a little dejected: "It's all in vain."

Xia Bingyang lowered his head and pressed the phone: "How to say?"

"Except for personally realizing that this couple is a pair of benevolent people who help the world and save people, isn't it in vain?"

"Then what is the result, so it's not in vain?"

Ren Erdong choked: "At least ask why Yao Zichen is in such a hurry to get married, and who is her son?"

The elevator door opened, and Xia Bingyang picked up his phone and walked out of the elevator: "You have already preset the result in your heart, that is, the child does not belong to Wu Zheng. Furthermore, even if Yao Zichen said that the child's father is not Wu Zheng, what else do you want to ask? Ask who she had sex with six years ago? Or ask if Xitong is her and Shao Yunfeng's biological son? Going further, the next assumption in your mind is that Xitong is Shao Yunfeng's son, then Yao Zichen is suspected of having sex with Wu Zheng Zheng cheated during the relationship and had a relationship with Shao Yunfeng. Even if you draw this conclusion, what's the use? Are we in charge of other people's personal style issues? So you are going to a dead end, at least before the third person appears, Your line of thought is a dead end."

Ren Erdong quickly followed him: "What third person?"

"Yao Zichen and Shao Yunfeng are husband and wife, and the relationship between them is too strong. Even if they have something to do with Wu Zheng's death, they still have thousands of reasons to justify themselves. To break this strong relationship between them, it takes Put|put another person between them."

Ren Erdong didn't quite understand: "Why do I think you're talking nonsense?"

Xia Bingyang walked in the corridor of the community, frowned and thought for a while: "It is indeed nonsense, to be precise, it is a conspiracy theory. There is no sign or evidence to point the finger of the murderer at Yao Zichen and Shao Yunfeng. We are all making the worst assumptions .”

On the way back, Ren Erdong changed to drive, Xia Bingyang lowered the car window, faced the wind outside the window, closed his eyes and rested.

Ren Erdong drove quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "There is a problem."

Xia Bingyang said listlessly as if falling asleep: "Who?"

"Shao Yunfeng."

"What's up with him?"

"I checked him, and he was originally engaged in photography. After Yao Zichen's 'Dear Wutong Tree' became popular, he registered a clothing brand named 'Wutongshu' and quickly established 'Wutongshu Clothing Co., Ltd. Responsible company'. It has developed very well in the past few years, and it is said that it will be listed next year."

"What's the problem?"

"'Sycamore Tree' was originally a social brand derived from Yao Zichen's comics, but he later made it into a commercial brand. Do you think there is nothing wrong with it?"

"Why didn't you say that Shao Yunfeng made the sycamore tree a public welfare brand?"

"Successful businessmen do public welfare for money laundering."

"This statement is too absolute. Maybe he does public welfare to achieve commercial purposes. But you can't suspect that he is related to a murder just because he uses social branding to create a commercial brand. This is also nonsense."

Ren Erdong pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I still don't believe him."

Xia Bingyang closed his eyes and said lazily: "No one asked you to believe him. You can doubt him, but you have to produce evidence. You can't stand on the commanding heights and set moral constraints on him like those media who are chasing rumors. Once he can't reach the media If you set a high moral level, put a high hat on him. The society can ask him to do so, because he is using social brands to make money. But we can't ask him like this, because what we want to investigate is not his moral level, but a murder case .”

After listening to Xia Bingyang's words, Ren Erdong was speechless and could only admire: "You still think clearly." After speaking, he added: "I don't worry about our unit's case closure rate now, as long as you don't If you meet Ji Zheng, your IQ will not run away from home."

Xia Bingyang suddenly lowered his head, covered his face and sighed, and said in a sad voice, "What the hell are you doing mentioning Ji Zheng? I finally had a quiet time in my mind."

Ren Erdong glanced at him and said to himself, as if Ji Zheng wasn't on your mind when I didn't mention Ji Zheng.

Halfway through the drive, Xia Bingyang received a call from Lou Yue, who told him, "Wu Zheng's parents have arrived."

When Xia Bingyang heard it, he could almost hear the sound of crying, and felt tired: "I'll go back right away."

Ten minutes later, Ren Erdong drove into the police compound and walked towards the office building with Xia Bingyang.Xia Bingyang didn't take a few steps when the phone rang again.He thought it was Lou Yue who called to urge him, but saw the name of 'Ji Zheng' on the caller display.He picked up the phone and strode towards the office building: "Doctor Ji, I would like to remind you that it is now 10:13 a.m. on No. 23. It has been 68 hours since you left. There are less than four hours left in the day. If you are calling me to delay time, you can hang up now. I am very responsible to tell you that if I do not see you in four hours, I will- —”

"Dump me?"

Ji Zheng asked with a light smile.

Knowing that this is impossible, Xia Bingyang raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "That's right, I just dumped you."

Ji Zheng said: "But Officer Xia seems to be unable to get rid of me for a while. What should I do? It seems that Officer Xia will be disappointed."

Xia Bingyang heard something was wrong, stopped suddenly, and stood on the steps: "Where are you?"

Ji Zheng said: "Turn back."

Standing on more than a dozen steps, Xia Bingyang turned back and saw Ji Zheng standing outside the electric gate of the police station.Ji Zheng stood there upright, looking at him with a smile.

Xia Bingyang froze for a moment, then trotted down the steps, and ran towards the gate like a gust of wind.

Xiaoshi poked his head out from the security room: "Captain Xia, do you have to ask Doctor Ji to register—"

"Register shit, open the door!"

Just as Xiao Shi opened the electric gate, Xia Bingyang arrived at the gate, separated from Ji Zheng by an electric gate track.

Ji Zheng looked down at the electric gate track between him and Xia Bingyang, and asked, "Can I go in?"

Xia Bingyang ran too fast, a thin layer of sweat oozed from the bridge of his nose, and his breathing was a little uneven.He stared at Ji Zheng's face for a while, then suddenly grabbed Ji Zheng's suit jacket and pulled him in forcefully.

Ji Zheng took a step forward, clinging to Xia Bingyang, looking down at him: "Are you waiting for me?"

Xia Bingyang held on to the hem of his coat and did not let go. He raised his head and wanted to laugh, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I am waiting for you to break the appointment, and then I will break up with you."

Ji Zheng bent his lips and smiled, bent slightly and whispered in his ear: "I'm here, do you still want to share?"

His posture seemed to hold Xia Bingyang in his arms, but he didn't, because Ji Zheng habitually restrained himself at the gate of the law enforcement agency in broad daylight.

Xia Bingyang smelled the familiar cold fragrance on his body, and felt a little dizzy: "No distinction, never distinction." He seemed to be fascinated by ghosts, forgetting that they were at the gate of the police station, and wanted to kiss Ji Zheng in a daze. , was dodged by Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng moved away from him, and reached out to Ren Erdong who came over: "Officer Ren."

Ren Erdong shook hands with him: "Hey, brother Ji." He said and looked at Xia Bingyang: "Leader, do we have to go in and see the family of the deceased?"

As soon as they entered the building, they heard a woman's howling upstairs.Xia Bingyang quickened his steps towards the elevator, Ji Zheng and Ren Erdong followed behind him.All the police officers in the police office area on the fourth floor stopped their work and looked at the crying woman in the aisle. The sound of the mother crying for her son resounded throughout the building.The elevator door opened, and the people who were near the elevator saw Xia Bingyang and called out 'Captain Xia' in a low voice.

Xia Bingyang whispered to Ji Zheng: "You go to the office upstairs and wait for me."

Ji Zheng nodded, and walked upstairs along the stairs in the center of the office area without a word.

Xia Bingyang glanced at the back of Ji Zheng who disappeared at the top of the stairs, and then walked towards the woman collapsed by the wall. Before he approached the woman, Lou Yue stopped him first, and said in a low voice: "I have said everything that needs to be said , I persuaded her too, but I can't persuade her, let her cry for a while."

Wu Zheng's parents are both over sixty years old. From Wu's mother's dress, it can be seen that she is a wealthy and self-cultivated woman, but the sad news of losing her son tortured her without any self-cultivation. She slumped on the ground, Leaning in her husband's arms, she almost fainted from crying.

When Xia Bingyang was watching her speechless, he heard the door of the detention room behind him being pushed open, and Xiao Sun and Liang Xiaotong came out one after the other.When Wu Zheng's mother saw Liang Xiaotong, a layer of resentment suddenly appeared on her face distorted by grief, she got up trembling and rushed towards Liang Xiaotong, beating and tearing Liang Xiaotong vigorously.

"It was you! It was you who killed my son! It was you who turned my son into a homosexual, and you were the one who seduced him! If it wasn't for separating him from you, why would we send him to study abroad! He saved How could you hurt him like this! Give me back my son, give me back my son!"

Wu's mother's accusation and anger towards Liang Xiaotong clearly spread throughout the entire corridor. Except for Xia Bingyang, everyone's eyes on Liang Xiaotong changed subtly.

Xia Bingyang looked at Liang Xiaotong, and saw that he was just standing with his head bowed, indifferent to Wu's mother's beating and scolding, and a disheartened indifference appeared on his handsome face.

Xia Bingyang watched for a while, and suddenly frowned when she saw that Wu's mother was going too far and slapped Liang Xiaotong.He waved his hand forward, and Ren Erdong and Xiao Sun immediately intervened and persuaded Wu Zheng's parents to enter the detention room.Ren Erdong closed the door, which blocked Mother Wu's scolding and wailing, and the office area on the fourth floor fell into stagnant silence.

Xia Bingyang walked to Liang Xiaotong's side, looked at his sad and indifferent profile, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him, his face was scratched by Wu's mother's nails, blood was oozing out.

Liang Xiaotong took the tissue and said in a hoarse and weak voice, "Thank you." He wiped the blood off his face and tied the collar of the shirt that Wu's mother had ripped open, but he seemed even more embarrassed than before.

Whispering gradually resounded in the office area, several police officers avoided talking to Liang Xiaotong, and whispered to the colleagues beside them.Although the voice was small, it was very ear-piercing, like needles piercing the flesh.Two or three older police officers who were sitting around did not intend to avoid Liang Xiaotong, as if deliberately letting him hear, they popped out a sentence or two from time to time.

"What's the matter, it cost a life—"

"It's really embarrassing, it's not that there are no women anymore, what are you doing with a man—"

"Quickly introduce a law against these homosexuals—"

"This kind of person harms others and himself—"

Liang Xiaotong heard it, but he was indifferent, but his lowered eyes looked even more embarrassed.

Xia Bingyang's expression became colder and colder when he heard those people talking nonsense.

Lou Yue has been paying attention to Xia Bingyang all the time, and when she saw him with a cold face and no anger, she expected something. She was about to go over and hold Xia Bingyang down, when she saw Xia Bingyang walking towards the few people who were having a small meeting before her.

With a "bang", Xia Bingyang kicked the edge of the table, startling the people sitting around the table, and quickly stood up.

Xia Bingyang stepped on the edge of the table with his right foot and did not put it down. His gaze swept across the faces of these police officers with piercing eyes, and he said coldly, "Is homosexuality disgusting? Is it shameful? Do men deserve to die if they like men?"

Several people glanced at each other, and one of them smiled and said, "Captain Xia, let's just chat nonsense. Don't be angry."

Xia Bingyang sneered: "You all pointed at my nose and scolded me in the face, why don't you make me angry?"

The man hurriedly said, "No, we didn't scold you."

At this time, Lang Xixi suddenly went up a few steps along the stairs, and greeted Ji Zheng who was going downstairs.

Xia Bingyang raised his eyes to look at Ji Zheng who was standing on the steps talking to Lang Xixi in a low voice, smiled flickeringly, and said: "What a coincidence, the person I like is also a man, so you are the one who scolded me."

The police officers present were stunned, and even Lang Xixi, who was talking to Ji Zheng, was also dumb.

Xia Bingyang raised his arm and pointed at Ji Zheng, and said loudly: "Look up!"

Everyone turned to look at Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng didn't know what happened, but he didn't panic at all. He calmly accepted the gazes of these dozens of people, and his eyes still looked at Xia Bingyang who was down a few steps calmly.

Xia Bingyang laughed arrogantly, raised his chin and said loudly: "Is he handsome?"

Everyone was stunned, no one answered his words, only Lou Yue lowered her head and pinned her nails, and said in a helpless and tired tone: "Handsome."

Xia Bingyang asked again: "Xixi, is Doctor Ji handsome?"

Lang Xixi glanced at Ji Zheng subconsciously, then nodded with a blushing face.

Xia Bingyang's eyes quickly swept around the faces of everyone, and said with a slanted lips: "My boyfriend."

After finishing speaking, he took back his right foot that was standing on the edge of the table, bent down to support the table and said to those people: "You know where my office is, if you still want to continue scolding, stand outside my office and I will listen to you." scold."

The faces of the few people who spoke rudely turned into liver-colored.

After finishing speaking, Xia Bingyang walked up the stairs meanderingly, and raised his voice: "Sister Lou, take Mr. Liang upstairs to the lounge."
