remain silent

When they arrived at the funeral home, a police officer surnamed Zeng came out to pick them up.

Han Chenxin was not familiar with this police officer Zeng, but this police officer named Zeng Yubin introduced himself as the undertaker of this case.

Except for Zeng Yubin, the other people present were all technical staff from the branch bureau and the city bureau. Han Chenxin didn't know anyone, but Jing Hang met a few classmates.

These 27 to 30-year-old young people are basically the main work force in this system, and they can't get away with anything.

Han Chenxin walked into the cold corridor with Jing Hang, passed the morgue, and then walked to the dissection room.

The two forensic doctors inside had already started to dissect. Jing Hang didn't even put on a surgical gown outside, so he went in with his camera.

Han Chenxin stood at the door and waited. He wasn't afraid, but he couldn't understand anything after he went to see it. He just needed to wait for the result.

Zeng Yubin explained the case to him beside him.

Li Yangtian's body was discovered last night. On the highway out of the city, two cars collided and a car overturned. The body was found in the rear compartment of the car.

The time of the car accident was 02:30 in the morning. It was probably during the night that the body was dragged out of the city to find a place to bury it, but it turned out that there would be an accident.The driver of the car has no documents and his identity is still unknown. He was seriously injured and is still lying unconscious in the hospital.

Except that Li Yangtian was related to Jiang Hua, the car was registered under the name of a person named Liu Dong, who had always been in close contact with Ye Yusheng.

"Ye Yusheng," Han Chenxin said, "There is Sun Zhetang between him and Sun Zhongting."

Zeng Yubin said: "No one expects to bring down Sun Zhongting by this. He wants to find someone to take the blame. There are many people around him who will step up to the top. They just hope that at least Ye Yusheng and Sun Zhetang will be dragged into the water."

Han Chenxin felt that it might not be easy.

In the dissection room, Jing Hang stood by and watched them dissect, while discussing with two old classmates about going out for lunch together.

Han Chenxin looked at the human organs spread out in front of him, and finally turned his eyes away with some discomfort.

The cause of Li Yangtian's death was mechanical asphyxia. There were obvious strangulation marks on his neck and hyoid bone fractures. Other signs of mechanical asphyxia were also very obvious.

Moreover, there were a small amount of bruises on the body surface, which should be traces of struggling and fighting.

As a witness who signed the autopsy record, Jing Hang discussed going to dinner with his old classmates, because it was already late for lunch, so Han Chenxin could only go with them.

Sun Zheyang was not energetic at work today. He knew that he should be more decisive. Whether it was to accept or reject, he didn't need to spend so much time hesitating.

But he just hesitated, he had never felt this way before, it was completely different from his previous promise to be with Zhu Xiaoyan, as if he promised Han Chenxin this time, it would be a solemn promise.

Solemn promise?What's the meaning?Sun Zheyang thought, does it mean getting married?With a man forever?And that man is his younger brother.

Agree, together; refuse, separate.

There doesn't seem to be a third option between them.

Like it?Sun Zheyang asked himself, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, why don't he like it, he is not a young boy anymore, can't he tell if he likes someone?

From the very beginning when he felt Han Chenxin's approach, he was backing away, thinking that as long as he separated, no matter what kind of relationship he had, he would gradually calm down. It's a pity... Now that I think about it, I should thank Ye Yusheng, that perverted bastard.

At noon, Sun Zheyang was sitting in the small park next to the car repair shop eating lunch when he received a call from Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun asked him if he still remembered what happened last night.

Sun Zheyang let out a "huh". In fact, the first half was a bit fragmented. He knew that he was drinking at Cheng Jun's place, and he didn't remember how he got home afterwards, but the memory of the second half is very clear now.

He asked Cheng Jun, "Did you call Han Chenxin to pick me up?"

Cheng Jun denied it and said, "It was your baby brother who saw that you didn't come home and cared about you and called."

Sun Zheyang took a deep breath.

Cheng Jun didn't know so many things about him, but said, "Do you remember what day is Saturday?"

"What day?"

Cheng Jun said: "Mr. Sun's birthday is 60 years old, you must remember to go back."

Sun Zheyang froze for a moment and didn't speak.

Cheng Jun's tone suddenly became a little hurried, "Sun Zheyang, you won't even show up for Mr. Sun's birthday?"

Sun Zheyang said: "How come, I will go back."

Cheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "Remember to bring a gift." Then he asked, "Do you have money?"

Sun Zheyang said: "Don't worry, don't worry about it."

In the afternoon, Han Chenxin and Jing Hang participated in the case discussion meeting at the police side, and then went back to the Procuratorate with Jing Hang after the conclusion.

It was almost time to get off work, Han Chenxin looked at his watch and stood in front of the elevator door, hesitant.

Zhang Chuan suddenly appeared behind and patted him on the shoulder.

Han Chenxin turned to look at him.

A trace of doubt appeared on Zhang Chuan's smiling expression, and he pointed at Han Chenxin's neck, "What happened?"

Han Chenxin stretched out his hand to touch his neck inexplicably, and quickly realized that there was Sun Zheyang's pinch mark on his neck last night. He saw it when he woke up in the morning, so he deliberately buttoned his shirt tightly.

As a result, after working for a day, I forgot when I got off work, and I didn't remember when I unbuttoned it.

Zhang Chuan stretched out his hand and pulled Han Chenxin's collar, but before Han Chenxin could stop him, the traces under his skirt were clearly exposed in front of Zhang Chuan.

Zhang Chuan also asked a little strangely: "What is this?"

Han Chenxin tugged at his collar and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Although his expression was still indifferent, his actions still seemed a little eager to cover up. Zhang Chuan froze for a moment, and suddenly choked up what he was about to say.

He and Han Chenxin have a good relationship, and they don't mind joking or anything, but he still thinks the mark on Han Chenxin's neck is a bit weird. What is it?Pinch marks?Pinches and hickeys?Zhang Chuan suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. That kid Han Chenxin looked serious, what did he usually do at home?

In the end, Zhang Chuan still couldn't ask.

Han Chenxin went to get the car, and then drove to pick up Sun Zheyang.

As soon as Sun Zheyang got into the car, Han Chenxin stared at him intently.

"What are you looking at me for?" Sun Zheyang said, "You let me think about it slowly."

Han Chenxin asked, "How long are you going to think about it?"

Sun Zheyang replied casually: "A lifetime, are you waiting?"

Unexpectedly, Han Chenxin said without thinking, "I'll wait."

Sun Zheyang fell silent for a moment. He propped his face on one hand and looked out of the car window. When Han Chenxin drove to the next intersection, he said, "Don't go back, find a place to eat, and go shopping with me tonight." .”

"Buy what?"

"clothing."

Sun Zheyang was going to Sun Zhongting's birthday party, of course he didn't intend to go just like that, he didn't have to care about these things, but he still had to save face for Sun Zhongting.

No matter what he thinks about Sun Zhongting's affairs, he has to admit that Sun Zhongting is really kind to him, even better than his biological father.

How to deal with the relationship with Sun Zhongting has always been a worry for Sun Zheyang. He even thought that it would be better if Sun Zhongting had a biological son, or if Sun Zhongting valued Sun Zhetang.

Sun Zheyang standing in front of the mirror in a suit made Han Chen feel a little dazed. In his impression, it was the first time he had seen Sun Zheyang dressed like this.

Sun Zheyang looked at the mirror critically, because he was not used to wearing it and felt uncomfortable all over his body.

"Why are you buying a suit?" Han Chenxin asked him.

Sun Zheyang didn't intend to hide it from him, "I'm going to Mr. Sun's birthday party."

"Sun Zhongting?"

Sun Zheyang nodded.

Han Chenxin didn't say anything more.

Sun Zheyang didn't have much savings on hand. He spent more than 1000 yuan on a suit and tie and had more than 1000 yuan in savings. He asked Han Chenxin to advise him on what kind of birthday gift he could buy for Sun Zhongting.

Han Chenxin said casually, "Don't buy anything, help him donate the money to accumulate some blessings."

Sun Zheyang said: "Don't say that."

Han Chenxin originally wanted to say that this kind of person has done too many immoral things, and the gods might not bless him, but judging by Sun Zheyang's expression, he still didn't say it.

Sun Zheyang didn't continue this topic with him, and put his hand on his shoulder, "I choose by myself, let's go back first."

After taking a shower at night, before going to bed, Han Chenxin said to Sun Zheyang, "Can I kiss you goodnight?"

Sun Zheyang smiled when he heard the words, "Do you think it's appropriate for me to accept it now?"

"What do you think?"

Sun Zheyang reached out and grabbed Han Chenxin, bit his lip hard, and then let it go quickly, "Is it all right?"

Han Chenxin wiped his lips with his hand, and asked Sun Zheyang, "What are you hesitating about? Can you tell me?"

Sun Zheyang said: "Brothers, blood relationship, in fact, the most important thing is my mother."

Han Chen was slightly stunned, and then said, "I understand."

Some unchangeable past, although not caused by him, but he must bear the consequences.

In a blink of an eye it is Saturday.

Sun Zhongting's birthday party was very traditional, scheduled for noon, at a high-end Chinese restaurant in a park on the outskirts of the city.

Sun Zheyang went to Sun Zhongting's house first in the morning. He was dressed formally and brought a gift selected by Cheng Jun for him, and came to celebrate Sun Zhongting's birthday.

Outside Sun Zhongting's villa, Sun Zheyang saw Sun Zhetang. He was standing next to the small garden talking to someone. After seeing Sun Zheyang, he apologized to the speaker, and then turned towards Sun Zheyang come over.

"Brother Yang, you are finally back," Sun Zhetang said, extending his hand towards Sun Zheyang.

Sun Zheyang held his hand lazily, shook it casually twice and then let go, "Well, hello."

Sun Zhetang said: "Second uncle has been waiting for you to come back, go in and see him."

Sun Zheyang nodded and said, "See you later." Then he walked towards the villa.
