Same crime

Putting down the phone, Gong Yuechao was in a trance, because even if there was a living person beside him, even if he was old and dead, he was very sad to be killed by someone like this.He felt that he was always nostalgic, and because this bad news was too shocking and heavy for him, it even made him unable to hate the wrong things she had done to him.

At the end of the conversation with Chen Yusheng, Chen Yusheng asked him: "She is dead, do you still hate her?"

Gong Yuechao only remembered that he was silent, and he didn't have an answer earlier, but now he figured it out, he had hatred, but this hatred was not long-lasting, and it disappeared with this person's departure.

He just sat on the sofa like this for a long time, and when he slowly got out of his emotions, it was the time he made an appointment with Gu Ming, so he got up and put on an apron to go to work in the kitchen.But his hands were moving, but his mind was still thinking about things, thinking about Wang Yurou, thinking about Qin Zhengzheng, a mess, filling up his thoughts.Washing, cutting, and frying vegetables... In this kind of mechanical work, he tried his best to concentrate, but it was of no avail.

Fortunately, the doorbell rang as soon as this plate of fried pork with garlic sprouts came out of the pan.Gu Ming should be here, it's really nice to have someone to stay with him for a while.

He put the dishes on the table casually, shouted "here we come" to the direction outside the door, and went to open the door.In fact, the door lock of this house has not been changed so far. The main reason is that he is too lazy to study it. Otherwise, how could Gu Ming send him back home yesterday? However, this person still rang the doorbell very politely when he was at home. Said it was very educated.If it was Shi Mucheng, who was informal, he might have just pressed the password by himself, and entered the door swaggeringly.

When he opened the door, Gu Ming stood outside the door and smiled at him, carrying a heavy-looking bag in his hand. Seeing that his fingers had been strangled with white marks, Gong Yuechao turned sideways to let him into the room, bent over to remove the shoe I found a pair of slippers for him in the cabinet.

The sound of the range hood in the kitchen was still ringing, and the smell of food wafted from the room. Gu Ming put the bag on the ground first, and then praised while changing his shoes, "It smells so good, I haven't eaten home-cooked food for a long time."

Gong Yuechao rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "I'm not very good at cooking, and I have to follow the recipe step by step for cooking. I guess the taste won't be very good. After I promised you, I regretted it. Go out and eat."

Gu Ming waved his hand, "It's fine to eat out, I have to eat out three hundred days a year, and I'm already tired of it. Besides, I'm not picky about food, and if you don't, you're better than me." Gu Ming's Although there was a smile on his face, somehow there was a touch of sourness in the smile.

Gong Yuechao couldn't help thinking about the past about Gu Ming that Shi Mucheng accidentally mentioned, that is, when Gu Ming was young, he had a girlfriend, the kind of childhood sweetheart. Get the certificate.However, although there is a need to make up for it, one year, something happened to Gu Ming's family and he owed a huge amount of foreign debt. The girl said that she couldn't bear the hardship, so she resolutely broke up with him.He was extremely sad, and in order to make a living, he followed Shi Mucheng to mix in society, made a fortune, and paid off the family's debts. At this time, the other party was already married, so he missed it.I don't know if it was hurt by the previous relationship, but Gu Ming has never been in a relationship since then, and put his mind on business.But now Gu Ming, his parents have already passed away, and he basically doesn't have contact with relatives who were indifferent to him when he was young. In addition, he is too busy with work, and his home is just a place to rest, let alone find time to cook for himself. It is a luxury for him to cook a meal.

Thinking of this, Gong Yuechao comforted him and said, "Then you should come here often in the future. My skills are really average, so don't dislike me."

"No way." Gu Ming responded, pointing to the pocket on the ground and said: "This is the information you asked for from me, I will explain it to you later."

Gong Yuechao looked at the bags on the ground, then pointed to the kitchen, and said: "Then I'll go to work first, there is still a dish, stir fry and it will come out of the pan, you can sit down wherever you want." Saying that, she smiled at Gu Ming and got into the kitchen. kitchen.

The dish he was going to fry was braised chicken nuggets. Before Gu Ming came, he had boiled the chopped chicken legs and put them in a big bowl.According to the recipe, he first poured some oil into the pot, then put all the chopped green onions, ginger, and garlic into the pot to fry the pot, and then heard a "stab" sound, and at the same time, a lot of oil splashed, Just a few drops fell on his arm, which made him rub it. At this moment, because the oil temperature was too high, the onion, ginger, and garlic were quickly becoming mushy. Seeing that there was another oil star about to fry, he quickly avoided the previous loss. When the side of the pot seemed safe, he leaned over and stir-fried it with a shovel. The color of the block turned brown, and he began to add ingredients to it in a hurry: cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce... He was talking to the recipe, afraid that he might make a mistake, and waited until the seasoning was added, poured some into the pot Water, I was relieved.

Cooking is really difficult, Gong Yuechao couldn't help sighing, but why is Chen Yusheng so familiar with it?He regretted that he didn't study hard with others, and there was really no way to cram for the moment.

He pinched his waist to see the water in the pot boiled over, turned the heat to low, covered the pot, turned around and caught a glimpse of Gu Ming who was sitting in the living room at this time, flirting with Erbing with a cat teasing stick.His Erbing nimbly moved his fat body to catch the ball on the cat's stick, causing Gu Ming to burst into laughter.It doesn't look lonely.

The recipe said that the chicken nuggets need to be stewed for a while, so he boiled a pot of water and brought it out, apologetically saying, "I don't have tea or coffee here, so...you can just drink some plain water." Poured him a glass of water, then pushed the fruit plate in front of him: "The recent grapes are so sweet."

Gu Ming drank the water and said he would bring him some tea leaves. Gong Yuechao originally wanted to say that he would not drink because of hardship, but after thinking about it, he always wanted to entertain guests, so he agreed.

The two talked for a while, he glanced at the time, but was taken aback, the chicken nuggets in the pot might turn into dry chicken nuggets, so he ran back to the kitchen, lifted the lid, and There is still soup, and the step of turning on the fire to collect the juice is omitted, which is really dangerous.He took out the dishes, filled two more bowls of rice, brought them to the dining table, and summoned Gu Ming to eat.

When Gu Ming went to wash his hands, Erbing smelled the fragrance, found a stool and jumped on it, watched the food on the table with extremely longing eyes, Gong Yuechao patted its fat buttocks, and said: "You Don't join in the fun, I'll open a can for you to eat." As he spoke, he grabbed Erbing by the back of his neck, carried it to the sofa, found a cat can from the snack box, and opened it. Well, while eating what is in my own bowl, I also have to look at the dishes on that table, I don't know which one to take into account.

Gong Yuechao knew that his skills were not good, but Gu Ming continued to praise him. He asked Gu Ming if he drank alcohol, but Gu Ming waved his hand and said, "I came here by car." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, so he asked He: "Huh? You bought wine."

Gong Yue bowed her head, always feeling a little embarrassed, "I have to thank you and Brother Cheng yesterday, I am really embarrassed."

Gu Ming knew that what he was talking about was a drunken gaffe, so he laughed, "That fellow Shi Mucheng is indeed a bit too much, he knows you can't drink, and he pours you down with others, this person is doing it on purpose. Hey, you Don’t worry too much, yesterday was mainly to take you out to meet some people you will inevitably meet in the future, these township cadres, who have worked in the countryside for many years, are down-to-earth, informal, and relatively open-minded, easy to talk about.”

Gong Yuechao couldn't tell whether Gu Ming was comforting him, but he felt more relaxed.

Gu Ming took a mouthful of vegetables, chewed them in his mouth, swallowed them and said, "You have to know that the economy of our province is in a backward position in the whole country, let alone the township. They see us like this The rich man has to be coaxed and held up. Although he may say something unsightly behind his back, he can do his job well on the surface, and he is a brother to you. You can’t trust him completely, practice Tai Chi, and try to maintain the surface as much as possible The balance will do.”

Gong Yuechao sighed, "I just want to go to work first, I always stay at home like this, spending your money, I feel sorry for myself."

Gu Ming waved his hand, "Actually, the two of us want you to go to work early, but Brother Cheng said the big talk first, so he is embarrassed to mention it to you, and now there are some things in the group that need to be dealt with by the two of us, because Some problems left over from the past few years have not been cleared up. Hey, it’s mainly because I can’t go down hard, Brother Cheng said that when you have a certainty, you will have time to go.”

"Brother Cheng told me this, I thought... the problem was solved and I was not needed anymore." Gong Yuechao said.

Gu Ming shook his head helplessly, "He wanted to use you as a pawn. I didn't agree with it at first, but I knew you didn't mind, and I thought it was feasible. But then I thought, you are a newcomer and you have just arrived, and you have not waited to gain a firm foothold. Just making enemies is not good for the future, so wait and see, this matter is quite contradictory, I will go back and discuss it with him."

"Well... I'm actually not as fragile as you think."

The dining room is next to the living room, and a chandelier hangs above the dining table. At this time, the soft light hits Gong Yuezhao's face, which is extremely gentle and warm, making him look more determined.

"Ha, I know." Gu Ming said, "Well, I'll tell you about the documents I brought later, you can read them at home first, and just ask me if you don't understand."

Since Gu Ming said so, Gong Yuechao had no choice but to nod.

After dinner, Gong Yuechao was not in a hurry to clean up the kitchen, but told Gu Ming that Wang Yurou's case had been solved. He couldn't hide his sadness during the narration process, "After the case happened, I realized that I was still in the same place as before. I am grateful to her in my heart, after all, she helped me get out of the shadow of my childhood. Although she didn't help me when I needed it, but now that she is dead, I can't even blame her anymore, and after hearing the bad news, I always feel empty in my heart." After telling Gu Ming what was in his heart, he felt relaxed.

"You are still kind." Gu Ming raised the water glass in hand, took a sip, and added: "Kind and resolute."

Faced with such compliments, Gong Yuechao was always a little embarrassed, he lowered his head, and carefully raised his request: "Also, I may ask you and Brother Cheng for something." When asking others to help him, his voice was very dull Emboldened.

"Well, tell me." Gu Ming was open-minded, but as soon as the words fell, he realized something, so he asked him: "Are you talking about that young man? Is something wrong with him?"

"Yes." Gong Yuechao clarified the ins and outs of Qin Zhengzheng's incident again, which made Gu Ming angry. "He told me that if he couldn't continue to be a policeman, he wanted to come to Zhangzhou to find me, or that he originally wanted to take advantage of the selection exam in the province to come to Zhangzhou to find me in a fair manner. I don't know if I should I should let him come over, but in my conscience, to be honest, I can't stand by and watch him in trouble, after all... after all, he is still..." Gong Yuechao hesitated what to say.

Gu Ming added for him, "You know, after all, he still treats you wholeheartedly, so you can't bear to see him in trouble."

"Yes." Gong Yuechao nodded.

"I can't say anything about feelings, but as an older brother, I just advise you: don't accept it out of sympathy, and don't feel guilty because you refuse it, as long as you do what you deserve." Gu Ming said, "If you need it, I will come forward and help you solve this matter. It is not difficult for us to transfer personnel."

Gu Ming's words made Gong Yuechao fall into contemplation for a while. He knew this truth, but he would still be entangled. He told Gu Ming that if he thought about it again, he would have nothing to say.

After sending Gu Ming away, he and Erbing were left in the house. He cleaned up the kitchen, sat back at the coffee table, and took a book on the top. On the thick cover was written the title: "Mucheng Group "Industrial Park Construction Project Overview", turn to the text, just read two lines, a figure appeared on the paper, that person has a handsome and young face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, upright and cheerful, there seems to be a voice in the ear , he asked him expectantly: "Teacher, if I go to Zhangzhou, will you welcome me?"

welcome?Gong Yuechao didn't know either, it had been seven or eight years, and it had been almost four years since this guy confessed his love. Time flies, but his sincere heart has not changed.

As the night was getting late, Gong Yuezhao got away from many complicated thoughts, and focused on flipping through the thick and heavy materials on the desktop. He first wrote down the main points with a pen, and prepared to summarize and organize them on the computer , he used to be a teacher, it was not difficult for him.

Tired of watching, I got up to drink a glass of water, and then sat back on the sofa. The phone flickered at this moment, and a new WeChat message popped up: "Teacher, thank you."

"?" Gong Yuechao replied with a question mark.

"I just finished eating with Lawyer Chen, and we talked a lot. I'm touched that you still miss me, well, I will work hard."

Silly boy, Gong Yuechao thought with a smile.But did not return.

"Even if there are difficulties, I will go to Zhangzhou. Can you wait for me? It's okay if I can't. Anyway, I will catch up with you sooner or later." Qin Zhengzheng just talked to himself, and he didn't know where he came from Come with confidence.

"Then we'll talk about it when you come." Gong Yuechao returned to him.

Qin Zhengzheng gave him a smiling face back, which was meaningful.
