Hu Guangyu is Xing Yue's college classmate and his best buddy during college.

The two were in the same class and the same dormitory when they were undergraduates.Each of them chose different majors in the postgraduate stage, but they were still roommates.

After graduation, Xing Yue returned to Dongjiang and became a policeman.

And because Hu Guangyu's postgraduate major was criminology, he took courses in criminal psychology during the period, and became fascinated by psychological research.In the second year after graduation, he went to Peking University to study for a doctorate in psychology.

Just last year, he got married and Xing Yue was his best man.

If Hu Guangyu is also a god, his experience is somewhat similar to Xing Yue's.

When he was still a freshman, he was admitted to a comprehensive university and chose a popular major at that time.But in the summer vacation of the third year of high school, he became crazy about reading detective novels and various crime-solving dramas.

In his words, "Seeing each other late, opened the door to a new world."

After going to university, the enthusiasm has not diminished.Gradually, he had the idea of ​​wanting to be a policeman, and at the same time he was full of disgust for his current profession.

So after a semester, he dropped out of school.

When he showed up at the door with the bedroll, his parents were so angry that they vomited blood on the spot.

But the man was a born optimist.After being beaten up by my parents, I squatted at home happily for half a year.Read every book you can find.

After that, he repeated his studies for a year, and he was successfully admitted to the Public Security University and became Xing Yue's roommate.

When mentioning the word "xueba", Xing Yue has always been embarrassed to put it on his own head.In his eyes, only people like Hu Guangyu are true academic masters.

In the four years of undergraduate study, Hu Guangyu's scores in all theoretical examinations were almost the first in his class.But the actual operation is more stretched.So all in all, he was often left behind by Xing Yue in the total score.

With Xiang Hai's problem right now, the first helper that Xing Yue thinks of is him.

Not only because he is an expert in psychology, but also his good buddy, more importantly, this person is born with a cheerful and good temper, and he is always cheerful.Such talents will not make Xiang Hai feel pressured.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xu Guangyu asked on the phone.

Xing Yue thought for a while, "Old Hu, before I say anything, I want to ask you a question first."

"Ask."

"Sexual orientation...is it innate, or can it be changed?"

Hu Guangyu was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment, "It varies from person to person."

"As far as the current research results are concerned, the vast majority of people are born with it. But there are also some individuals who are affected by the surrounding environment when their sexual consciousness is immature in childhood and adolescence. Cognitive deviation."

Hearing this, Xing Yue's heart sank.

He felt his throat dry, and licked his lips, "Then, if this is the case, will the sexual orientation still change?"

"It is not easy to change the sexual orientation that has been formed."

"It's not a question of whether you like sweet or salty. Once a stable sexual orientation is formed, and people accept this formation as the subject, it is difficult to change."

"What if I have doubts about my sexuality?" Xing Yue continued to ask.

"This... can only be analyzed in detail on specific issues."

"It is necessary to have an in-depth communication with the person, and combine his past experiences and current living conditions to make a comprehensive judgment. Sometimes it is not a person's true aptitude that is swinging left and right, but his perception of himself and others."

"It's a complicated question..."

After Hu Guangyu finished speaking, he paused, "Xing Yue, are you in any trouble?"

Xing Yue took a deep breath and sat back on the chair again, "Old Hu..."

It took about an hour for Xing Yue to introduce Xiang Hai's situation, and Hu Guangyu also had a basic understanding.

Finally he said, "No problem, then you can find time to bring him here. I really can't leave here, or I will go to Dongjiang to find you."

"Okay, let me set a time here to tell you later."

"Well. By the way, I'm on a business trip now. It will take another week. I'll go back to Beijing when I'm done. Come over then."

"Okay. Well, thank you, old Hu, thank you!"

"..." Hu Guangyu smacked his lips again, "Xing Yue, if I do this again, I will have to make a video with you. I suspect that you are controlled by some creature."

Xing Yue chuckled.

After a pause, Hu Guangyu said, "Xing Yue, when I talk to him later, some privacy will definitely be involved. So I want to ask you first, is that person your boyfriend?"

He asked very suddenly, Xing Yue was taken aback for a moment, but did not hesitate, "Yes, he is my boyfriend."

Hu Guangyu said "Oh", "Okay, then tell me when you set a time later, and I will also mention it to prepare."

Seeing that he didn't bring up the topic just now, Xing Yue was a little surprised, "You have nothing to say to me?"

"What did you say?"

"..."

Hu Guangyu on the other end of the phone laughed, "I said Xing Yue, do you think my eyes are for panting after we have been together for so many years? I study psychology just to chat with someone when I have nothing to do?"

Xing Yue was at a loss for words.

Hu Guangyu was proud, "Don't talk about anything else, just go to boxing training. The instructor finds someone to be a sparring partner to fight against the girls. Everyone else is rushing to fight, so you just back off. And we have a friendship with the teacher's college, everyone pulls the group and adds WeChat, Just you, say you don’t have WeChat. When people ask you for your phone number, you say you don’t have a phone…”

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine," Xing Yue was a little embarrassed, "Just this little shit, do you still remember?"

"Of course." Hu Guangyu laughed, "To tell you the truth, observing you was one of my most important recreational activities back then."

"... Fuck." Xing Yue was shocked, "You, you are fucking deep enough."

"Can you still be as deep as you?" Hu Guangyu gulped down his saliva, "You don't know, before you came to be my best man last year, my daughter-in-law was thinking about matching you and her girlfriends, so I just persuaded you to quit .”

Xing Yue was even more surprised, "Is that the bridesmaid?"

"Yes."

"I said why she always looked at me with supercilious eyes." Xing Yue scratched his hair, "What did you say?"

Hu Guangyu patted his thigh happily, "Don't worry about what you say. Anyway, everyone has a boyfriend now, so don't worry about it."

The two chatted for a while, and Hu Guangyu looked at the time, "Fuck, it's past three o'clock. I have to go to bed, so you should take a rest too."

"Don't worry too much about Xiang Hai, I will take it to heart. Everything will be fine."

Xing Yue nodded, thanked him again, and hung up the phone.

After sitting alone on the balcony for two cigarettes, he felt tired, so he stood up, went to the living room, and collapsed on the sofa.

People are idle, but they are still thinking about it in their minds.

His body was a little cold, and his arms were folded across his chest.

It was cold and cold, and he fell asleep.

And so the dream came.

It was still the same pitch-black roof, the cold wind poured into the clothes, and the snowflakes flew around.

Not far away, Xiang Hai was crying and calling him, "Brother!"

The tears turned to ice before they could roll down.He raised his hand to wipe it, and with a clatter, a pair of shining handcuffs collided together, making his wrists red.

"Brother! I'm afraid!" He cried and fell to his knees in the snow, "I'm afraid!"

He lowered his head helplessly, something slipped from his neck and fell into the snow.

It's the necklace. It's his birthday present.

Xing Yue was about to run over to help him up and pick up the necklace for him when he heard someone calling his name.

"Little Yue!"

Xing Yue turned around, it was Xing Yiqing.

He was standing on the edge of the roof, wearing a straight police uniform, and the silver stars on his shoulders shone in the cold night.

He looked at Xing Yue with a smile and told him, "Don't be afraid, and you can't be afraid."

"Xiaoyue, you are my father's pride."

Before the voice fell, the person disappeared.

"Dad!!" Xing Yue was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand towards the empty place, only to find that his hands were covered with blood.

He panicked and rubbed his hands against his clothes desperately.But it took a while to see clearly that the police uniform on his body had been stained with blood.

At this time, someone rushed up to hold his arm, and forcibly took off his police uniform.

"Get out! What are you doing! Get out!" He cursed while struggling.

But the body seemed to be bound by a rope, and it was impossible to break free.

And those who couldn't see his face had already taken off his police uniform, threw it in the snow, pointed at him and announced loudly, "From today onwards, you are no longer a policeman, because you are not worthy!"

Xing Yue refused to accept it, and rushed over to snatch the police uniform back.But in an instant, everyone disappeared.

Only the wind and snow all over the sky.

"Brother, brother, brother?" Xiang Hai's call made him withdraw from the dream a little bit.

The wind is gone, and the snow is no longer drifting.

Xing Yue opened his eyes, Xiang Hai was squatting beside him, shaking his arm.

"Why are you sleeping here?" His arms were cold, and Xiang Hai rubbed them through his clothes, "It's so cold."

Xing Yue rolled over and sat up, rubbing his eyes, "Oh, I came out to answer a phone just now, and fell asleep accidentally."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, "Is it snowing?"

"Snowing?" Xiang Hai also looked out the window, "No."

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the eyes are full of autumn colors.

Xiang Hai felt that something was wrong with him, so he wanted to pull him up, "Brother, go to bed and sleep for a while, it's still early."

Xing Yue didn't move, but instead pulled him over, "Xiao Hai, sit down for a while, I want to discuss something with you."

Xiang Hai sat down beside him.

"Xiao Hai," Xing Yue rubbed his hands, choosing his words, "I want to say what you said to me yesterday, thank you."

"Thank you for being brave enough to tell me your secret. I know it won't be easy."

Xiang Hai lowered his head, avoiding his gaze.

He stretched out his hand to take Xiang Hai over and leaned against himself, "So I was thinking, you, no, it should be us..."

"We can't just hide like this. This matter must be settled, so that you can feel at ease."

Xiang Hai raised his head, not understanding what he meant by ending it.

Xing Yue went to shake his hand, but found that his hand was cold, and let go again, "I hope you can untie that knot in your heart, live a relaxed life, and don't always torture yourself endlessly."

"It doesn't matter if it's natural or not, let's figure it out and accept it openly."

"No matter what the outcome is, I will face it with you."

Xiang Hai rested his head on his chest again, his fingers tightly clutching his skirt.

Xing Yue kissed him on the hair, "However, if you want to solve these problems, you have to find a professional. I'm definitely not good at this, and neither are you."

"I have a classmate who was my best buddy in college. He is an expert in psychology, a true scholar, and a very reliable person. You can rest assured about that."

"I hope, no, I suggest that you go and talk to him and ask him to give you some help from a professional perspective."

"Professional things have to be left to professional people, don't you think? If he can help you recognize yourself and let you have an account of your past and present, wouldn't that be great?"

Xing Yue tightened his arms and hugged him harder, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to force you to accept anything. I just hope you can accept yourself, no matter what kind of yourself you are."

He stroked Xiang Hai's hair, "Xiao Hai, I just wish you well, I have no other purpose. I hope you can be happy, from the heart."

Xiang Hai's face was still deeply buried.

He put his arms around Xing Yue's neck, rubbing his head up and down in his arms, "I am willing, brother, I am willing to go."

For himself, but also for those who love him.

He finally raised his head, "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Stupid you? Who are you sorry for?" Xing Yue smiled and scratched his cheek with his fingers, "Don't say such things in the future. You didn't apologize to anyone, you know?"

The next day, after the regular meeting in the morning, Xu Feng returned to the office, waiting for Xing Yue to report on Yuan Guoping.

After waiting for a long time, no one came.When asked, he said he left after the meeting.

At this time, Xing Yue's car had already driven onto the highway, and the destination was Mingzhou.

He's going to have a look there.Go and see the place where Xiang Hai was buried, and Chi Yu, who has long been promoted to the warden of Mingzhou Prison.

He wanted to ask this uncle something.

The car was parked not far from the gate of Mingzhou Prison.Xing Yue lowered a section of the car window, allowing the smoke to float out along the gap.

High walls, power grids, and numerous guard posts are the standard equipment of every prison, and another world is isolated there.

It's a place that adults don't want to set foot on.

Xing Yue silently smoked, staring at the heavy iron door, imagining how carefully that child was inside.

He felt suffocated as the smoke hit his throat.

In the afternoon, the sun turned its direction, and the iron gate of the prison opened slowly.

A black car drove out, Xing Yue glanced at the license plate, put out the cigarette butt, and started the car.

The two cars merged into the traffic flow one after the other, always separated by another car.

The car entered the city center, went around in circles, and finally entered a high-end residential area.

Xing Yue's car was stopped.He showed his ID to the security guard, explained the situation, and was released immediately.

The black car stopped in front of a building. The driver got out of the car, trotted over, rushed to open the rear door, and watched a middle-aged man in his fifties walk down.

The middle-aged man said something to the driver, the driver nodded, then got into the car again, and drove the car out the same way.

The middle-aged man was carrying a briefcase and was about to walk towards the door of the unit when Xing Yue stopped him.

"Child Warden."

Chi Yu stopped at the door of the unit, turned around, and saw a strange young man walking towards him.

"you are?"

Xing Yue handed over his ID, "I am from the Criminal Police Team of Zhenhua Branch of Dongjiang Public Security Bureau, and my name is Xing Yue."

Chi Yu glanced at the open ID, with a displeased expression, "Why did you find me at my house? Come to my office to talk about something tomorrow."

Saying to go.

"Please wait a moment." Xing Yue stopped him, "There are some situations that need to be learned from Warden Chi. I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk in the office."

Chi Yu's brows frowned even deeper, "Just go to the office and talk about business matters, it's not inconvenient. If it's private matters, please leave, I'm not interested."

He turned around and took a step.

"Excuse me, do you know Xiang Hai?" Xing Yue asked from behind.

Chi Yu's footsteps stopped, and after a few seconds, he turned around again, "You say, who?"

"Xiang Hai." Xing Yue looked at him expressionlessly.

This person is well-dressed, full of style, and good-looking, and he can even see a bit of Xiang Hai's shadow.

It's just that the majesty that was still hanging on his face just now is of course gone at this moment, and it has become a complex expression that cannot be explained clearly.

There was shock, panic, fear, and even a little... shame.

The expression tried to distort his face, which was trying to control the expression.

The two sides competed vigorously, sweating from the forehead.

But in the end, after all the battles, after a brief panic, he quickly returned to normal.

He stared at Xing Yue, "Who are you?"

Xing Yue twitched his lips, "I'm a policeman from Dongjiang, I've been introduced just now."

"What on earth did you come to see me for?"

"For a case, about Xiang Hai. It is said that you are his uncle, so I came to you for some information."

"A case?" Chi Yu became alert again, "What case?"

"Murder case." Xing Yue's gaze pierced into his.

"Murder?" Chi Yu clenched his fists unknowingly, "Who, who was killed? What does this have to do with Xiang Hai?"

Xing Yue controlled his breathing and told him word by word, "It's Xiang Hai, he's dead. He was killed by someone."

Chi Yu felt dizzy for a while, swayed, took two steps back, and stood firm while leaning on the wall, "You, you said, Xiang, Xiang Hai, is he dead?"

"Yeah, dead. Was it a surprise?"

Xing Yue observed him, trying to tell whether his sadness at the moment was acting out.

However, Xing Yue hoped it was fake.Because if it was true, it would make him feel even more disgusted.

"If Warden Chi doesn't mind, let's talk in my car." Xing Yue pointed to the car behind him, "People come and go here..."

"My question is very simple, and it won't take you long."

Don't lose your face.Chi Yu hesitated for a moment, but followed him into the car.

After closing the car door, Xing Yue turned sideways and pretended to take out a notebook, "Excuse me, when was the last time you saw Xiang Hai?"

Chi Yu's Adam's apple twitched, "Almost, 11 years ago."

"How old was he then?"

"Ten...or eleven."

"where?"

"my office."

"Why did he leave?"

"..." Chi Yu's temples bulged.

"I don't know?" Xing Yue scratched casually on the notebook, "He was so young at the time, did you go to him after you left?"

"I found it."

"Where did you find it?"

"Mingzhou."

Xing Yue frowned, expressing his confusion, "He is from Dongjiang, have you ever thought about going to Dongjiang to look for him?"

"No, no."

"why?"

"Because...he has no relatives in Dongjiang."

Xing Yue touched his chin, "So, you were his only relative at that time?"

"..." Chi Yu was silent again.

Xing Yue looked at him, approached him suddenly, and lowered his voice, "Now that he is dead, as his only relative, how do you feel? Are you sad?"

Chi Yuxiang was suddenly strangled by someone's neck, his breathing was suffocated, and his eyes were red.

After waiting for a while, but seeing no answer from him, Xing Yue rubbed his nose and turned a page of the book.

"Let me ask another question about Warden Chi."

"Xiang Hai left Mingzhou...Oh, no, it should be said that when he disappeared in Mingzhou, you were the deputy head of the Mingzhou Prison, right?"

Chi Yu was silent.

"As far as I know, within six months after that, you were promoted to the head of the prison. After two years, you were promoted to the deputy head of the prison." Xing Yue sighed, "It seems that you have won the trust of the leaders. "

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, your leader at that time was Yuan Guoping, right? That was the warden of Mingzhou Prison at that time."

Hearing this name, Chi Yu raised his head abruptly, a bead of sweat crossed his eyebrows and fell into his eyes.

Xing Yue continued, "Later Yuan Guoping was promoted, and you took his place."

He shook his head and sighed again, "This speed of promotion is really enviable."

Chi Yu clenched his fists tightly, "What does this have to do with Xiang Hai's death!"

"Yes." Xing Yue's eyes turned cold instantly, "What's the relationship? I don't know, so I'm asking you."

"What do you mean?" Chi Yu became irritable, "What do you want to imply?"

"It's not interesting." Xing Yue closed the notebook in his hand, "I just thought, if Xiang Hai knew that his uncle had such a good life, he would definitely be happy for you."

"Okay, my question is over, thank you for your cooperation."

Xing Yue threw the notebook aside and waited for Chi Yu to get off the car.

Chi Yu didn't move, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Xiang Hai...where is he now, I want to go and see him. Then bury him."

After hearing this, Xing Yue actually laughed.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not."

"Why?" Chi Yu stared at him.

"Because it's an old case."

"He died ten years ago."

The knife you handed, Yuan Guoping's moving hand.

Both of you are murderers.
