Duan Chengwen laughed and said meaningfully: "I don't care where your hole cards are, and I'm not interested in knowing." However, from the standpoint of the police, I would like to give you a suggestion, no matter what your future development will be and what path you take, I hope you can stand in front of me and speak with dignity as you do today. ”

Li Zhengyi also laughed and said: "Officer, don't worry, I will definitely hold your thighs, never let go, never bow my head." ”

In the evening, the Xiangning City Police acted quickly, and at the same time contacted the Yangcheng Police in the name of the provincial department to ask for the other party's assistance in handling the case. Li Zhengyi got the news in the afternoon of the next day, when Luo Wei called and said that Tian Hu had been arrested.

In Xiangning City, the young man who was hit in the car accident died after rescue efforts failed, and on the same night, the driver who caused the accident was arrested in the middle of the night and was secretly controlled, and what awaits him will be the severe punishment of the law.

On this night, the weather in Qingyun District suddenly became abnormal, and in the evening, it was already full of dark clouds. From time to time, silver snakes flickered among the dark clouds, and a dull thunder faintly rolled in the clouds.

The pedestrians and vehicles on the street are all in a hurry, and after a while, there is no longer half a figure in the busy streets of Qingyun District, only the green trees on both sides of the road are whimpering and trembling in the gradually increasing wind.

At nightfall, the hazy sky and earth suddenly brightened up like day, and lasted for several minutes. After a brief retreat, the rain poured down with gusts of wind. The sweltering heat of the summer night was swept away in the wind and rain, and the raindrops the size of beans beat all the dust in the world with the help of the strong wind.

In the family community of Jinqiao Lane, Qingyun District, a figure holding an umbrella, withstanding the storm, bowed and came to the door of Chu Zhengqing's house.

It was Chu Zhengshan who received the call who arrived with an umbrella, and he was reluctant to come because of the heavy rain, but he was sternly asked by Chu Zhengqing to hurry as soon as possible, so he had to hold an umbrella and rush here.

Still halfway through, the pouring rain came as scheduled, and Chu Zhengshan only held a small umbrella that couldn't stop the raging storm at all, and he was drenched in soup in less than a moment. Except for the head barely getting wet, there is no dry place on the body.

Chu Zhengshan twisted his wet trousers outside for a while, and only after making sure that there was no obvious rain dripping did he ring the doorbell.

It was Chu Zhengqing's wife who opened the door, and when she saw Chu Zhengshan coming, she only said lightly, "Zhengqing is in the study" and walked away, sitting in the living room and no longer speaking.

The abnormality of his brother and daughter-in-law made Chu Zhengshan's already uneasy heart feel even more solemn, he hung the umbrella aside, changed his shoes, and said hello to his brother and daughter-in-law who were sitting in the living room, and rushed to Chu Zhengqing's study.

On the second floor, Chu Zhengqing's study was half open and not closed, and when he came up from the stairs, he could see Chu Zhengqing sitting on a rattan chair in the study from a distance, looking at a small party flag inserted in the pen holder on the desk with an expressionless face.

approached, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but heard Chu Zheng say lightly: "Come in." ”

Chu Zhengshan closed the door of the study casually, because he was wet, he didn't find a place to sit, just stood in front of the door and said with a smile: "Zhengqing, come to me so late, is there something wrong?"

Chu Zhengqing turned the rattan chair, his cold gaze fell on the brother dressed as an old farmer in front of him, watching the dark short coat and cyan pants soaked by the rain and sticking to his body, and there was a faint trace of muscle tremor on his expressionless face.

The silent gaze lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and Chu Zhengqing's long-term residence and cultivation qi naturally had a kind of coercion in it, and he would never be so pretentious towards his brother on weekdays.

Chu Zhengshan noticed the unusual oppressive atmosphere, and suddenly felt uneasy, and couldn't help but ask out loud, Chu Zhengqing asked in a hoarse voice: "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"

The uneasiness in Chu Zhengshan's heart became more and more intense, but he instinctively covered it up and said: "You are my brother, what else can I hide from you, have you heard any rumors?"

A trace of pain flashed in Chu Zhengqing's eyes, and he said astringently: "Things have developed to this point, you still don't want to admit it, how long do you plan to hide it from me?"

"Zhengqing, what do you mean?" Chu Zhengshan couldn't help but panic in his heart, but he was still making the last struggle.

"See for yourself. Chu Zhengqing took a deep breath, opened the drawer, and took out an A4 paper with obvious horizontal and vertical folds and handed it to him, "If it weren't for someone anonymously sending me a letter, maybe I would still be in the dark by you until now, you tell me, is what is said on this paper true or false?"

The facts listed on the paper simply point to the privacy that Chu Zhengshan does not want to touch, which is exactly the same as the evidence he received at the beginning, the only difference is that this one is a shortened version, and the evidence listed at the end points out that he killed people.

Chu Zhengshan's hands and feet trembled, and then he took a few steps back, and sat down on the sofa by the wall.

Chu Zhengqing saw this scene and no longer doubted, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly exploded, he stood up, stretched out his trembling arm, and pointed at Chu Zhengshan, who was pale, and wanted to reprimand him angrily. But in the face of his embarrassed brother on the sofa, every bit of his childhood flashed in his mind, and the words of condemnation could not be spoken, and finally he could only roar in a trembling tone: "You...... You...... You're confused!"

Dead silence.

After a long time, Chu Zhengshan, who was nesting in the corner of the sofa, suddenly burst into tears and cried in a low voice: "Zhengqing, I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't use your name to do such things that put you in a disadvantageous situation." I regret this step I took in the first place, but unfortunately it was too late to wake up, and I had already fallen into the abyss from which I could not extricate myself. ”

Chu Zhengqing suppressed his voice and roared: "Ridiculous...... I don't know what to call ...... It's all excuses...... It's all an excuse. ”

Chu Zhengshan was silent.

"Why did you kill someone? Tell me, why did you kill someone else's family of three? Why did you commit such an irreparable sin?" Chu Zhengqing continued to roar.

Chu Zhengshan wiped his face, shook the paper in his hand and said: "At the beginning of the year, I also received such a paper, when you had just been promoted to the executive deputy head of Qingyun District, I was afraid that the incident would affect your career, so I was confused and destroyed the corpse for a while. ”

Chu Zhengqing was angry and anxious when he heard it, and all the words were blocked in his heart and could not be vented, he stretched out his index finger and dotted it again and again, and finally sighed helplessly: "You...... Go and turn yourself in. ”

"Surrender?" Chu Zhengshan suddenly straightened up from the sofa, his honest face suddenly became extremely hideous, "I haven't completely lost, everything, my hands and feet are clean, and the only flaw can be destroyed immediately, why turn myself in?"

Chu Zhengqing smiled miserably, turned around and handed him a piece of paper from the drawer, and then as if he had exhausted all his strength, he slowly sat down in the rattan chair and said no more.

There were not many words on the paper, but a few words ruined Chu Zhengshan's last hope, his face was like ashes, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible, why did he do this? If he wants to save your political career, why should he destroy me?"

Chu Zhengqing was silent, thinking of one of the dazzling handwriting on the paper: "You are a rare honest official, I hope you can persuade your brother to surrender at the last moment and try to save your political career." ”

Incorruptness?

For Chu Zhengqing at this moment, what an ironic and helpless word. has been an official for 20 years, and it is not fair and honest, at least it can be said to be innocent, who would have thought that it was ruined in the hands of those closest to him.

Outside the building, in the storm, there was a shrill siren from far and near.

After all, it was too late.

Outside the window, the raindrops hit the glass rapidly, silently blooming one after another. Chu Zhengqing closed his eyes and sighed, and there was a tear in the corner of his eyes with crow's feet, which was falling gently......
