dead innocent

When He Cheng woke up, there was no one around him.

Chu Xingyun is always like this, he leaves after sleeping, and it is difficult to see a person the next day.Earlier, He Cheng was not used to it, and he always felt like two long-term and stable sex friends with him.After living together, the situation did not improve. He lived together for more than two months, and the number of times he and Chu Xingyun had breakfast together can be counted on five fingers.He Cheng felt quite resentful in his heart, and even thought of feeding him a few sleeping pills before going to bed to put him down, so that they might be able to lie on the bed together the next day and watch the sun rise, looking for the feeling of living together.

As soon as he opened his eyes this morning, He Cheng felt that it was necessary to plan this idea and put it into action.While thinking, he took a shower, and walked out ten minutes later in a suit of home clothes, brushed his wet hair, found the police uniform that he pulled off from Chu Xingyun last night in the bedroom, and threw it downstairs in the washing machine.

Two hungry cats circled around him in the living room. He first baked two slices of bread for himself, then squatted on the ground with a bag of cat food, and poured food into the food bowls of the two cats.

Daman's dog-like cross-species eating behavior caught his attention, he touched Daman's twists and turns on the back, wondering: "You seem to have lost weight."

As he spoke, he poured the rest of the cat food into the big full basin, squeezed its round neck, and said, "Make it up."

Xiao Man ate little, and was full after just a single ration, and then walked into He Cheng's arms to beg to be caressed.

He Cheng sat cross-legged on the floor, touched the top of its head to show his closeness, then pushed it away from his arms, picked up his cell phone and called Xiao Shu.

"What did Chu Xingyun tell you yesterday?"

As soon as the phone was connected, he asked directly.

Before Xiao Shu could speak, he sighed first: "This is the fourth time you asked me... He just asked me, what do you like and what do you lack."

Seeing that he couldn't get his attention, Xiaoman lowered his head and wanted to slip away, but he caught his tail and dragged him back.

He Cheng lowered his eyes, frowned slightly, touched Xiao Man's back, and said displeasedly, "It's gone?"

"No, he just said three sentences to me, and this is the fifth time I've recounted it to you."

"Did you remind him that the 29th is my birthday?"

"He remembers. He called me to ask me to prepare a gift for you. I don't need to remind you."

He Cheng muttered in his heart, then why didn't he express anything last night.

"Okay, I get it."

He Cheng hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and drove Xiao Man away again, staring at the floor and thinking hard for a while, planning to call Chu Xingyun to find out his tone, the first birthday with him, yes It is very commemorative for him, and he is really afraid of being confused by Chu Xingyun.

He had just dialed out the phone when the doorbell rang suddenly.

He went to open the door with his mobile phone, and as soon as he opened the door, the phone was connected, and Chu Xingyun asked him over there: "What's the matter?"

When he opened the door, he saw He Ying in a delicate suit and overcoat standing at the door, smiling at him.

He Cheng stared, petrified for two seconds, and closed the door with a whoosh as if he had seen a ghost.

He Ying: ...

Be angry, but keep smiling.

He Cheng who was inside the door grabbed his phone and said, "He Ying is back."

Chu Xingyun gave a very calm 'oh', and then asked: "Where is he?"

He Cheng glanced at the closed door in a panic: "It's outside the door."

Chu Xingyun was silent for a moment, then laughed and said: "You can't shut your brother out of the door."

He Cheng raised his eyebrows, wondering: "Then I invite him in? What do you say?"

The two brothers of the He family get together less and leave more, and their relationship is not deep. Coupled with the accidents of the year, He Cheng has been deliberately alienating him. Although the knot in his heart has been resolved now, he always dislikes He Ying, almost like seeing a rival in love. .

Chu Xingyun smiled helplessly: "What do you want to say, say a few words to drive him away."

He knew very well that He Ying could not speak in front of He Cheng, so he was not at all worried that He Ying would persuade He Cheng to pass him and leave Yinjiang.

He Cheng remained silent, Chu Xingyun said again: "He is your own brother, you have to respect him."

He Cheng reluctantly snorted softly from his nostrils, then pinched his phone, frowned, hesitated and hesitated, stomped his feet vigorously, and opened the door.

He Ying stood motionless at the door, looking at the watch counting down the seconds, suddenly saw a light in front of him, so he raised his head and smiled, "Good morning."

He Cheng glanced at him awkwardly, said 'hmm' awkwardly, and then said awkwardly, "Please come in."

After finishing speaking, he took a step to the side, turned his head to look elsewhere, and added another word: "Brother."

He Ying looked at him with relief, then walked into the room: "Xingyun has changed you a lot."

He Cheng was a little unhappy when he heard Chu Xingyun's name from his mouth, and he called him so intimately, and immediately began to regret inviting him in.You should shut him out and pretend that no one is at home.

Staring at the back of his head and taking a sip of vinegar, He Cheng stood in the living room with his arms folded and asked, "Why are you back?"

After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and changed his words: "Why did you come back?"

Still not right, He Cheng frowned impatiently, thinking about how to say this sentence more politely.

He Ying stood in the living room, looked back at him, and smiled, "It's okay, the first sentence is pretty good, there's no need to change it, I'll come back and take a few days off."

"How many days?"

"See when you chase me away."

He Cheng: ...

He Ying smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'll just stay for a few days, and I'll leave after your birthday."

He Cheng was taken aback for a moment, although he only wanted to celebrate his birthday with Chu Xingyun, but He Ying made a special trip to celebrate his birthday, which still surprised him. He was really touched, and even wanted to pour a cup of tea for his brother.

Quickly putting his heart into action, he walked to the back of the kitchen counter, boiled water to make tea from a box of green tea in the cupboard.

He Ying squatted on the floor with one knee, looking at the two cats lying on the carpet: "Are these the two cats raised by Xingyun?"

"Ah."

He Ying looked at Daman and Xiaoman in turn, and finally stopped on Daman, rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes and said: "This gray one is really..."

Although he is very tactful and has a lot of ways of dealing with the world, it is the first time for him to speak nonsense to please 'other people's cat' with his eyes open.After thinking about it in his heart, he finally thought of an adjective that perfectly avoided 'fat'.

"Strive."

The burly Daman put his head under his palm familiarly, and glanced enthusiastically.

And Xiaoman was lying on the snow-white carpet, staring at him coldly with a pair of sapphire blue eyes glowing with faint light.

He Ying stroked Da Man, looked at Xiao Man, and said with a smile, "This white one really looks like you."

He Cheng heard that something was wrong with his words, and came out of the kitchen with coffee in one hand and green tea in the other, stopped beside him, and handed him the teacup: "Also? Who did you hear?"

He Ying stood up, thinking that of course he couldn't say that when Chu Xingyun bought the cat, he called him excitedly and told him that he was lucky to find a lion cat that looked exactly like He Cheng!

"No, no one ever said that."

He Ying took the cup from him and asked, "Do you drink tea?"

He Cheng looked at him suspiciously, did not ask further, took a sip of coffee, and said: "Chu Xingyun drinks, he often gets angry."

He Ying took a sip of the tea he brewed, and the taste was unexpectedly good.He was surprised that He Cheng, a pampered and pampered young master, had mastered the ability to make tea.The answer is not difficult to find, it should be practiced by making tea for Chu Xingyun.

He Ying felt a little sad, thinking of his younger brother, it was the first time in so many years that he served him tea and water, but he was also under the shadow of Chu Xingyun.

“Tea is good.”

He said.

"yes."

He Cheng said.

After finishing speaking, the two turned their heads, one looked east through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the other looked west through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

An atmosphere called 'embarrassment' spread quietly, covering every corner of the room.

what should i say

He Ying drank green tea and thought.

Why is he still not leaving?

He Cheng thought while drinking his coffee.

The two had their own concerns, turned their backs to each other and finished drinking what was in their hands, unexpectedly turned around at the same time, and bumped into each other again.

He Ying handed him the teacup and said with a smile, "I didn't rest well on the plane, so I'll go to the guest room to sleep for a while."

He Cheng pointed him in the direction of the guest room: "Please go ahead." '

On the way back to the kitchen with two cups, He Cheng thought in his heart, if his brother wants to live here tonight, then he and Chu Xingyun will go out to open a room. The three of them sleep in the same house, so how awkward is it to think .

He Ying said that he was going to catch up on sleep, but it was not the case. He sat on the ground and teased the cat again, while holding his mobile phone, he didn't know what he was doing.

He Cheng washed the cup, and politely invited him to join him for breakfast, but after being declined by He Ying, he ate two slices of bread by himself, then changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

He Ying looked at He Cheng, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and saw that he had an extraordinary appearance and a very different appearance. He couldn't help being very pleased, and felt a sense of pride that "my family has a younger brother who will eventually grow up".

It is also cheaper for Chu Xingyun.

"go to company?"

He Ying asked with a smile.

He Cheng stood at the porch, put on his overcoat: "Go to Huafeng for a meeting."

"Huafeng? Zhou Quliang's company?"

"Well, I have a project with him."

"which aspect?"

"Sea freight."

He Ying nodded and looked at his watch: "What time will you be back?"

He Cheng straightened the collar of his coat, and said, "At eight o'clock tonight, the State Guest Hotel will hold the annual entrepreneur commendation meeting. Zhou Quliang and I will attend it. It will end... about eleven o'clock."

Sitting on the ground, He Ying hugged the two cats, and smiled at him, "It's hard work, be careful on the road."

He Cheng glanced at him, picked up the car keys and went out.

After He Cheng left, He Ying left the two cats in his arms, went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, then took the glass to the French window, watching an SUV drive out of the underground garage and drive towards the entrance of the community. drive away.

He took out his cell phone from his coat pocket and put it to his ear.

"He's out, follow him."

After finishing speaking, He Ying took a sip of white water, followed He Cheng's car out of the community like a sharp arrow with fierce eyes, and said in a calm and solemn voice: "Follow him every step of the way."

The sky gradually darkened, and the Yinjiang River was lit with lights.

In an old residential building on the edge of Sanpu Road, a tall and thin young man walked under the dim night light, holding a packed dinner in one hand, and chatting with friends on social software with a mobile phone in the other.

The surrounding area was very quiet, after the busy commuting hours, this residential building was always very quiet, he was the only one in the corridor he was walking in, and only his own voice was silent.

He was busy talking with his friends, and he didn't notice a man in black walking out of the dark forest belt beside the corridor.

The man followed behind him like a shadow, less than ten meters away, the footsteps were so soft that they could almost blend into the night breeze.

The phone ran out of battery, the young man cursed, put the phone in his coat pocket, walked a few steps, the phone suddenly fell out.

He turned back and bent down to pick it up, and accidentally saw a pair of men's casual leather shoes slowly stop in his field of vision.

Out of defensive instinct, he raised his head to look at the man's face, only to see that he turned up the collar of his windbreaker, covering the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of black eyes that seemed to have no whites.

Those eyes were staring at him firmly, as if they had been staring at him for a long time.

The young man suddenly felt a chill hit the pores of his body, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, dropped the phone, turned and ran forward.

Fear followed him like a shadow, and the man was also running, following him closely behind him!

He ran into a dilapidated residential building, rushed into the house, locked the door with a bang, and looked at the flimsy iron lock on the door with cold sweat in surprise.

He didn't hear the gunshot, but a bullet burst through the lock and into the floor beneath his feet.

His legs went limp, he collapsed on the ground, and crawled towards the telephone placed on the coffee table with both hands and feet.

"I, I want to call the police! Someone wants to kill me! He has a gun! He wants to kill me! It's Huafeng Group, Zhou Qu of Huafeng Group..."

Suddenly the door was kicked open, and the cold chill in the corridor instantly filled the room.

He twisted his stiff neck and looked towards the door. He saw a man wrapped in a black windbreaker with a face invisible standing in front of him. He raised a pistol with a silencer in his hand and pointed the muzzle between his eyebrows.

"what!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Xingyun finished processing the backlog of documents on the desk, squeezed his stiff fingers, stood up and put on his coat, and was ready to leave work.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Qiao Shishi ran up from downstairs in a panic: "Boss, the police center received a report. Jiang Wei, who lives on Sanfu Road, claimed that someone broke into his house with a gun. The nearby police have rushed over just now." Look, people are indeed dead."

Chu Xingyun's footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped in front of her, frowning and silent for a moment, then walked downstairs: "Go and see."

Taking the field duty on the night shift, a police car drove onto the road and drove towards Sanfu Road amidst the street fire.

The traffic was extremely congested tonight, Chu Xingyun drove the car behind the slowly surging traffic ahead, and patted the horn several times in succession.

Qiao Shishi was sitting in the back seat and was contacting the police at the scene. The other party spoke Sichuan dialect, and it was extremely difficult to communicate.After repeating a sentence many times, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, she slammed down the car window to the bottom, and yelled again at the top of her voice.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing, she stuck her head out to blow the air, impatiently just about to curse, when she suddenly heard a distant and muffled loud rumbling sound, like thunder coming from the distant sea.

Chu Xingyun stared at the road ahead and slid forward at a turtle speed, and asked absently: "Thunder?"

"Boss! It exploded!"

Qiao Shishi opened the car window and looked at the raging fire burning on the top of the tall building standing in the southwest direction behind the tall buildings. The fire almost illuminated half of the sky, billowing thick smoke that blended with the night.

Chu Xingyun quickly got out of the car, stood in front of the car door and looked up at the fire in the southwest direction that almost burned a hole in the sky.

"What's that place?"

Qiao Shishi said anxiously: "It seems to be the State Guest Building on Wangjing Road!"

State Guest Building?

Chu Xingyun suddenly fell silent. He remembered that just an hour ago, He Cheng, who was attending a reception at the State Guest Hotel, called him and asked him to pick him up directly at the State Guest Building after get off work.

As if he was watching a mighty fireworks, the sparks flying down from the sky barely landed in his eyes, almost scalding his eyeballs.
