Hearing the dissatisfaction in his wife's tone, Zhang Ruiming understood that she was still angry, Tang Shi had been depressed since she lost her job because of herself last time, and the damage caused to her by this incident continued.

Zhang Ruiming sighed and said, "He's ......"

Tang Shi thought that he was going to say something important, but he didn't expect that his husband, who had always been fast-talking, would be silent as soon as he said these words.

Zhang Ruiming wanted to say that in this incident, Luo Zhai was the one who tried his best to drag the Zhang family into the water, but when he said it, after thinking about it, he was still afraid that Tang Shi would worry. He changed his words again: "In short, you can't believe in Luo Zhai anymore, this person wants to pull you and me into the water, with ill intentions!"

"I didn't believe him in the first place, and I also resigned on my own initiative last time, and I have nothing to do with him! Please don't use the word "again" again. ”

Tang Shi reacted strongly, he was still very sensitive to the incident at the gate of Shanshui Huaquan last time, for fear that Zhang Ruiming would take advantage of the topic and bring up this old incident again.

At this juncture, Zhang Ruiming didn't want to talk about these trivial matters, he remembered a key logical loophole revealed when Li Qin, the supervisory committee member interrogated this time-why did Luo Zhai and Liao Cai know about their illegal evidence collection? Do they also know that they will definitely not submit the account book? Did his wife have contact with them?

After Li Qin's inquiry, Zhang Ruiming began to sort out the intricate logical chain of this case, and these questions gradually surfaced with the exposure of Luo Zhai's interrogation video, who leaked his hole cards to them? He even had a more terrifying conjecture: Could it be that his wife reached an agreement with them?

He looked serious, his brows furrowed, and his expression looked very cautious, "Let me ask you, did you mention anything to Luo Zhai last time when you resigned? Why would he know that I would not submit that original account book as evidence?

Zhang Ruiming's tone became more and more severe, these problems are also the biggest disagreement between the two, involving the most important trust crisis between the husband and wife, and the two cannot communicate calmly until they are resolved.

As soon as Zhang Ruiming finished asking, he suddenly thought of the mobile phone that Tang Shi inexplicably placed on the table that day, and he had what he wanted at that time, but no matter how noisy and suspicious he was, he would not suspect his wife, let alone think that his wife would record himself, but now, he couldn't ignore the possibility of this terrible answer.

Don't...... Will the dearest wife also draw a knife against herself!?

After the battle between heaven and man, Zhang Ruiming still chose to ask directly: "Could it be that you really recorded ...... before?"

Tang Shi did not answer.

The light cast a silhouette on Tang Shi's face, and after a few meters, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but the long silence was the most obvious acknowledgment. Zhang Ruiming raised his head and sighed, suddenly felt weak all over his body, and collapsed on the back of the sofa.

Seeing the despair in her husband's expression, Tang Shi was also scared, and she hurriedly defended: "You listen to my explanation, I don't mean to harm you......"

Zhang Ruiming waved his hand to stop what she wanted to say next, a bitter smile floated on his cheeks, and in the dim light, the man's mental fatigue was even more evident, and his originally handsome face was also covered with heavy eye bags at this time, he didn't say anything more, supported his knees with his palms, and struggled to support his heavy body.

He slowly stood up and walked outside the house, without saying a word.

…………

The night was dark, the empty streets were empty of people and cars, and the street lamps stretched Zhang Ruiming's figure, walking alone on the dark blue canvas full of gray backgrounds.

A 30-year-old man who runs away from home alone is the saddest season, with no home to return to, no children to see, no way forward, and no one to look back. The top and bottom are counting on your shoulders to carry everything, and everything is surging, and you are like a helpless duckweed in the torrent.

Zhang Ruiming no longer remembers the last time he lived for himself, nor does he remember the last time he was unbridled indulgence, since the moment he took the oath under the inspection emblem, he gave his whole heart to the noble cause.

Looking back now, where was the happiest and most relaxed time in the past few years? Zhang Ruiming suddenly remembered that when he was in the Public Prosecution Department in the past, he often traveled on business to handle cases, and his favorite moment was on the way back from running errands, walking long distances, and working hard, so how could he still be relaxed? In fact, it is like some middle-aged men who go downstairs and park their cars downstairs after returning home, but they like to stay alone in the car for a while. There are also those prodigal sons who like to travel by car, single bicycles, helpless, walking alone in strange and wild borderlands, accompanied only by the sound of the wind. Only these times, middle-aged people who have no pressure of work, on the long and endless highway, in a person's carriage, do not have to worry about the case, salary, work, family, future and other boring and miscellaneous things that drown life, can let their thoughts precipitate with the silence at the moment, can think about their own thoughts, that kind of empty feeling, let Zhang Ruiming really feel that he has lived.

Then you can recover your strength and accumulate courage after a lonely emptying, open the car door again, step into the red dust, and play a husband, a father, and a prosecutor.

Use these characters to support the life that others envy.

And now, it all seems to be collapsing, he is just a middle-aged man who has been homeless in the early hours of the morning, he has a long way to go, and he doesn't know where to go back to the dormitory of the procuratorate? He was taken away in public by the Supervision Commission last night, and now he doesn't know what others think of him, what he is going back for?

The small apartment in the city back to the city, but the house was mainly bought for Tang Shi at that time, I was afraid that she would have nowhere to go if she got off work late, Zhang Ruiming didn't even have the key, and now the door can't get in.

Where to go now? Where else to go?

Zhang Ruiming raised his eyes and looked around, he didn't know how long he had been on this road, he couldn't go back home, the case was so difficult, he was falsely accused, his future seemed to be ruined, his wife was almost broken with him, his family was not home, his business was not working, and he was involved in such sorrow, which simply made him die.

It is said that "middle-aged men are not as good as dogs", only by really going this far can we understand the coldness behind this sentence, Zhang Ruiming has no way out.

He just wanted to find a place to sit and be stunned for a while.

Before you know it, the sea breeze rises.

Unexpectedly, he came to the beach where he used to eat "Shih Tzu tongue" with Ye Wen alone.

Under the dim street lamp, the night snack stall was about to close, even the plastic tarpaulin was half closed, and the fire had been covered, the boss was more familiar with Zhang Ruiming, and when he saw the man walking slowly alone, he stopped packing his hands.

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhang Ruiming originally just wanted to walk casually, but he didn't expect to come here unintentionally. I don't know if it's because I'm too lonely and want to find a place to vent, or if I see that the boss asked like this, it's not easy to refuse, Zhang Ruiming actually sat down calmly, took out a pair of chopsticks and said: "Let's have a few things, a plate of dry-roasted squid, butter in one hand, and two bottles of Qingdao." ”

"Okay!"

The things were not good yet, the wine was already on the table, and after pouring himself a full glass, Zhang Ruiming remembered that this might be the first time in his life that he drank alone.

Although there is no special good wine on this roadside stall, but the more important thing is the mood of drinking, the bitter foam swallowed, and the sweetness surged up to the root of the tongue, Zhang Ruiming "tsk" for a while, the desolation in his heart suddenly dissipated a little, he sighed, lowered his head and turned on his mobile phone, and was about to find out which friend in the address book could take him in for one night.

suddenly saw a pair of beautiful red shoes suddenly appear on the ground next to him.

Zhang Ruiming looked up sharply and saw a pair of bright eyes.

Ye Wenzheng, who was dressed in a beige gauze skirt and had a ribbon on his head, stood in front of him as movingly as moonlight.

Zhang Ruiming could almost hear his heartbeat at this time, in this lonely night, it was actually this girl who came to his side, although there was a voice constantly reminding himself that he couldn't get too close to her, but at this time the joy in his heart was still like a burst fireworks, he involuntarily asked: "You...... How did it come. ”

The expression on Ye Wen's face was quite complicated, her eyes were cold, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, with a hint of playfulness like playing a little temper with her boyfriend, the corners of her mouth were pulled, and she replied in a somewhat duplicitous tone: "I'm nothing, I just walked around, I just happened to meet you here." ”

Zhang Ruiming tore off a stool next to him, "Sit?"

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, what happened to him? Obviously determined to draw a clear line with the beauty in front of him, but how could he not keep his principles when he saw the beauty taking the initiative?

Ye Wen was not polite at all, she sat down directly generously, she didn't wait for Zhang Ruiming to make a move, took the initiative to pour herself a glass of beer, the two looked at each other, didn't say anything, and drank the beer in the paper cup.

The best comfort is wordless companionship, Ye Wen accompanied Zhang Ruiming to drink a few bottles of wine in a row, and a layer of blush flew on both of their faces. Zhang Ruiming's eyes were a little misty, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you willing to help me this time?"

The question was a bit headless and brainless, but the two didn't find it abrupt at the moment, and they hadn't seen each other since the last time they were drunk. And Zhang Ruiming's deliberate evasion and cold treatment made Ye Wen's heart inevitably sour, this beautiful reporter of the voice of the times, has asked herself this question more than once today:

Why do you want to help the man in front of you who is so cold to you?

"Because I'm ...... I am an investigative journalist, in terms of the nature of my work, I am very similar to your prosecutors who engage in public interest litigation, we are also on the front line of the most dangerous all the year round, trying to show the real side of the world to people, I often fantasize that I am a hero - in the most barren and miserable places, doing the most difficult work, being chased, scolded, beaten, and also experienced bribery, framing, insulting, I don't understand, but at the same time, I also enjoy this challenging work, I feel like an explorer, a person who can save the world, and it is this self-fantasy, and the recognition and gratitude from the victims and even bystanders, although not much, that has sustained me to this point. So I understand you, I have seen your fighting spirit when I was in Dongjiang, and I am of course willing to believe you in this case, so I decided to help you. ”
