Chapter 22: True Self

Looking at his favorite braised pork in the bowl, Cheng Yang took a piece with a trembling hand, couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly. Even if he is greedy like this, Cheng Yang's every action is still very regular, like a textbook-like dining etiquette. A meal that originally only needed to eat for 15 minutes was dragged by him for more than half an hour.

After eating, he put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Cheng Yang returned to the house where he once lived. The position of everything in the room has not changed, sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony and watching the stars in the sky. He looked at the sky in a daze, and sat motionless until dawn.

Cheng Yang, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, looked at the sky outside the window that had lit up, and then got up to wash, when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Cheng Yang didn't rush to answer, but wiped his face dry before picking up the phone, three big words on the screen: Charles.

"You kid haven't gotten up yet, have you? There's a new situation in the case, I'm going to the teacher's house, you hurry. ”

Cheng Yang listened to Charles's voice, and then said, "It's already up, waiting for you to eat together." ”

Hanging up the phone, Cheng Yang came to the living room and saw Guo Yuejun sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Looking at Guo Yuejun, Cheng Yang said, "Charles is on his way over, and he came to eat." ”

Guo Yuejun put the newspaper in his hand on the coffee table, looked at Cheng Yang and said with a tired look: "Have you not slept all night?" Forget it, let's not talk about you. Cheng Li, cook more wontons, and Charles will come over later. ”

As soon as Guo Yuejun finished speaking, he heard a voice from the kitchen: "Okay, it's already cooked." ”

It didn't take long for there to be a knock on the door, Cheng Yang opened the door, and found that Charles was more than one person, and You Sijia was actually at the door.

Looking at the two people at the door, Cheng Yang let go of his body and said, "Come in first." ”

You Sijia patted Cheng Yang's shoulder and said, "Do you think I won't recognize you if you change your name?" Hum! Also, in the last three years, have I changed so much? After saying that, You Sijia walked inside.

After they all entered the house, they heard Guo Yuejun in the living room say: "Rare guest, how can Sijia have time to come to see me today." ”

"Uncle Guo is early! Coincidentally, I happened to be involved in the case Charles said, but I didn't expect him to be your apprentice, and I happened to meet him in the morning, so I followed. You Sijia responded with a smile.

At this time, Cheng Li walked out of the kitchen and said, "Sijia is also here, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat first, and after eating, you young people are talking about business upstairs." ”

Cheng Li doesn't like to listen to people talk about cases. Don't look at her and Guo Yuejun as husband and wife for so many years, but they have never had a positive attitude towards Guo Yuejun's storytelling.

After eating, the three of them came to Cheng Yang's bedroom.

"I've been in this house before, but I didn't expect it to have changed after so many years!" Charles looked around.

"There was no one to live in the first place, and now I don't want to move when I come back. Okay, has there been any progress on the case? "At present, everything is a floating cloud, except for what Cheng Yang is interested in, of course.

"Let You Sijia say it, I don't know as much as her."

Cheng Yang looked at You Sijia, only to see that she took out a photo with a color imprint from her bag and said: "The deceased's name is Zhou Xiaonan, 182 tall and 70 kilograms, the cause of death is death caused by excessive injection of fentanyl citrate injection. The photo shows me using a high-powered magnification lens to see the inside of the eye frame cleaned. Look here, the trauma here is like a texture, and you should remember it very well. ”

Cheng Yang looked at the texture on the photo, and his heart, which had been blocked, was like a flood opening the floodgates, but he couldn't see any signs on the surface, and still said indifferently: "Is the murderer locked?" ”

"Here's the problem, in the early hours of this morning, a person who claimed to be a murderer actually went to the police station to turn himself in and truthfully confessed his crime, and after comparison, it was found that the person who turned himself in before was the murderer." Charles said.

"And what about his motive for killing? And what about this skillful technique? ”

Charles looked out the window and said: "The reason for the murder is that this person named Zhou Xiaonan watched the murderer's girlfriend in the bar for a while, and the murderer was angry, so he thought of gouging out the other party's eyes, if you use it...... The killer was an ophthalmologist. These circumstances have been verified, and it has also been determined that the murderer did go to the bar where Zhou Xiaonan was three days ago, and there was a conflict. Cheng Yang, are you a little nervous? ”

Charles and Guo Yuejun communicated only to find out what happened to Cheng Yang, at that time, Charles himself did not have such great authority, and he was only a captain at that time. Only You Sijia and Cheng Yang survived that incident, and You Sijia's sister You Siyue also disappeared without a trace in that incident, and You Siyue was also Cheng Yang's girlfriend.

When Charles learned about it, he remembered that someone in that incident had also had his eyes gouged out and hanged alive from the ceiling. When the body was found, there was an inexplicable fire, and in the end, only Cheng Yang and You Sijia were rescued from it, but Charles didn't know Cheng Yang at that time, and he didn't know the relationship between Cheng Yang and his teacher.

Cheng Yang calmed down and said, "I'm fine." Now that the case can be closed, there is nothing to do with me, so you can go back, I have been living here for the past two days. ”

Cheng Yang's words were actually said to Charles, I haven't been in the store for the past two days, if there is something for Charles to come here to find himself.

Charles was still a little worried, although he had known Cheng Yang for a short time, he still understood Cheng Yang's thoughts, and said helplessly: "I'll go back first, contact me if there is any situation, you can rest well." ”

You Sijia followed behind Charles, and before walking out of the bedroom, she turned back and said, "You don't have to blame yourself for my sister's matter, and our family doesn't blame you, let it pass in the past." ”

After seeing the two of them driving away through the window, Cheng Yang sat on the ground with his butt down, and there was not much look in his eyes. He sat like this all at once until the evening, during which Guo Yuejun came up once, but when he saw him like this, he left without disturbing him.

Cheng Yang's mobile phone rang many times during this period, but it didn't let him out of the whirlpool of thinking. At this time, the phone rang again, Cheng Yang finally remembered to answer, and looked at the phone screen at this time, and the name on it was a name named Lu Qiu.

pressed the answer button, and a very chaotic voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Cheng Yang, I'm back, let's get together together!" I can't get through to your phone call in the morning, you hurry up and come out for me, I'll be waiting for you at the Clay Royal Club, hurry up! After saying these few words, the other side hung up the phone.
