Same crime

The voice-activated lights in the corridors of old buildings are no longer so sensitive, and they have to make a loud noise to turn on, and the brightness is different for each floor.When I first entered the first floor, it was still a dim little yellow light, but when I reached the third floor, it had turned into a bright energy-saving lamp.

Perhaps because it was late at night, there were basically no people in and out of the entire building, and the echo could even be heard when they stomped their feet.Except for the sound of them rubbing against their clothes as they went upstairs, it was the panting from climbing the stairs.The lights in the hallway flickered on and off, illuminating them and casting two long shadows.Because the stairs are very narrow, it is always difficult for two people to walk side by side. Gong Yuechao wanted to let go of Qin Zhengzheng several times, but Qin Zhengzheng stuck to him tightly, holding his hand and not letting go.

Gong Yuechao felt a trace of sweat from that dry hand, but he didn't feel bored. The heat continuously supplied to him even gradually drove away his unhappiness all night.

Gong Yuechao, who is used to living in high-rise elevator rooms, can't remember how long it has been since he climbed such a staircase. As he walked up the stairs, looking at the walls stained with years of dirt, his thoughts inevitably wandered... Once upon a time, He also climbed the stairs step by step like this, panting heavily, opened the door to his own haven of shelter from the wind, holding Erbing in his arms, nestled in the simple decoration of the house, listening to the sound played on the TV, slowly Slowly falling asleep, sometimes he may be awakened by the nightmare that has entangled him for many years, but when he opens his eyes and returns to reality, he will inevitably be grateful for the hard-won stability.

People will always change their attitude towards life according to the situation, cross a watershed in life, and start a new life. It is good to talk about the present, because the past is abandoned, and at the same time, the taste in memory is also lost.

Today, because of some familiar factors, I recalled those days, and what is even more subtle is that the boy who was by his side was the boy who suddenly broke into his life that winter. How amazing is fate.

When he arrived at the door of Qin Zhengzheng's house, Gong Yuechao's thoughts were wandering. The boy beside him said "here we are", and they slowly loosened their clenched hands. Qin Zhengzheng took out the key and opened the door... At this time, The voice-activated light suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings were suddenly enveloped in darkness.

"Cough..." With Qin Zhengzheng's voice, the lights in the corridor turned on again. At this moment, Gong Yue looked down and saw Qin Zhengzheng's hands trembling for no reason. This is an old house, and the entrance door is It took Qin Zhengzheng a lot of effort to unscrew the old-fashioned heavy anti-theft door when he inserted the key into the lock. The moment he opened the door, Qin Zhengzheng seemed to let out a sigh.

Is he nervous?Just because a few years later, it was Gong Yuechao who broke into his life?

Gong Yuechao wanted to take a closer look at Qin Zhengzheng's calm profile, but he stepped into the room first, and then turned on all the lights in the room.

Immediately, the dark house was filled with light, and this light even bordered Qin Zhengzheng's face. It seemed that at this moment, Qin Zhengzheng led him into the door, closed the heavy door, and settled his worries.

At first glance, the room still looks very warm, not to mention spotless, but it is also very neat and clean.

Qin Zhengzheng threw the bag on the sofa casually, and introduced: "Teacher, do you think my rented house is okay? There are two bedrooms in it, both of which are on the sunny side. The sun is good during the day. I'm still thinking about it. If you bring Erbing here, it will definitely like to bask in the sun." He scratched his head and smiled again: "I didn't clean up much, so I just made do with it, don't dislike it."

Gong Yuechao looked around, still a little dazed at first, the feeling from the corridor flooded his mind again, and it wasn't until Qin Zhengzheng called him to change his slippers that he came back to his senses.

Speaking of which, Qin Zhengzheng arranged the place pretty well. There are several pots of flowers on the window sill, two pots of crab claw orchids blooming lively and competing for beauty, and there is a glass fish tank on the chest of drawers, in which there are a few small goldfishes. He is swimming happily at the moment, and these vivid things make the room much more lively. Qin Zhengzheng understands life far better than him, and knows how to live.The only downside was that the outdated decoration seemed a bit out of place with the young man in front of him.

"It's pretty good here." Gong Yuechao agreed.

"Yeah, it's quite close to my work. You don't need to drive to go to work. If you need to work overtime, you can be there on call." Qin Zhengzheng walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out two bottles After the mineral water, he poured it into the electric kettle, turned around and smiled at him again, "Teacher, you can sit here, or just look around, I will wash some fruit for you, and you can treat this place as your own home." After finishing the sentence, Qin Zhengzheng didn't realize how abrupt he was, he stepped into the kitchen, and didn't know what tossed and came out. After a while, the sound of water started.

Although Qin Zhengzheng let him look casually, Gong Yuechao didn't wantonly break into the more private space. He probably saw the same thing when he entered the door just now, so he didn't care about the details anymore.He was sitting on the sofa, just about to take out his mobile phone to deal with some things, but his eyes were attracted by a photo frame on the TV cabinet. His eyesight was good. After he took a closer look, his hands were even frozen in mid-air .

Gong Yuechao didn't care about anything, so he quickly stood up and walked over, held up the photo frame and looked at it carefully, he looked at it, tears suddenly blurred his vision, his heart seemed to be hit by something, and it was painful .

In fact, there is a very ordinary photo in the photo frame. It is a group photo of Qin Zhengzheng's family of three, or the one where they deliberately went to the photo studio to take a family portrait. Experience the happiness that is gone.This kind of photo, almost every family has a similar photo in their photo album. It will record the happiest moment of the family, and it will also be used as an object to recall the past. Qin Zhengzheng deliberately put it out, presumably also for Memories and memorials, because the father standing on his right in the photo has left him.

It seems that Qin Zhengzheng still looks like he was in high school, with a dazed head and a youthful face, while his father, with a doting smile on his face, even though he is wearing a neat police uniform, is also It became a bit soft because it was soaked in father's love. This father, as if he also wanted his son to inherit his mantle, specially put his big cap on his son's head, while the mother's gaze Staring at the camera, the smile from the corner of his mouth has accumulated a lot of sweetness.

The reason why Gong Yuechao shed tears was not because he had never enjoyed this kind of fatherly love and motherly love in his childhood, nor was it because of jealousy, but because the man in police uniform, that is, Qin Zhengzheng's father, gave him too much love. touch.

This is too familiar a person for him.In his miserable childhood, he experienced countless injustices and ridicules. When he was desperate, only this person gave him some warmth.

He even discovered that Qin Zhengzheng was somewhat similar to his father, but he had never thought about it in this direction. That overly reliable face was like a deep brand, firmly engraved in his heart, that is, It cannot be erased by the passage of time, so he can recognize it at a glance.

Memories flooded into his heart like running water...

"What about your parents? Does the teacher know?"

"My dad is paralyzed, my mom doesn't have time, the teacher, the teacher just knows how to protect them."

"Uncle will help you decide."

When the policeman said this, determination and sympathy were written on his face. After the young Gong Yuechao's wounds were treated briefly by him, he even ate the food he gave him.

And at this moment, the rough touch of the policeman's palm rested on his face, it was the warmth when he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his thumb.

Thinking of this, his tears welled up again, falling on the frame of the mirror drop by drop, and flowing down the edge.Because of a period of warmth, but also because this kind-hearted policeman left the world early, I feel sad.

Fate is really wonderful, it went around in a circle and came back again.Qin Zhengzheng's father had helped him, and he had helped Qin Zhengzheng, who lost his father, and the two of them were entangled like this, with constant cutting and confusion.

After washing the fruit, Qin Zhengzheng was walking towards the living room with a smile on his face, but saw Gong Yuechao crying while holding the photo he brought with his parents from home.

He was stunned for a moment, then he understood in an instant, quickly put the fruit basin on the coffee table, and stood beside Gong Yuechao.

I saw Gong Yuechao's eye circles were red, and there were still some unshed tears in the eye sockets, which wet his eyelashes.

Qin Zhengzheng called Gong Yuechao in a low voice: "Teacher." Gong Yuechao didn't speak, he wanted to wipe it off with his hand, because it hurt to see it, but he didn't want Gong Yuechao to feel that he was sympathizing with him or something, so after thinking about it, he opened it. He said, "This is my parents. I took a photo when I was in high school. At that time, I was so stupid." He tried his best to ignore Gong Yuechao's tears, and introduced his parents in a calm tone.

"En." Gong Yuechao came back to his senses, glanced at Qin Zhengzheng, understood his gaffe, and wiped away tears with his hands indiscriminately, "I remember, your father, he, he once helped me, I have always been very grateful His, ha... I was, I just didn't expect...that was him..." Gong Yuechao forcefully pulled out a forced smile, hoping to tell Qin Zhengzheng that he was really fine.

Qin Zhengzheng said: "Oh, by the way, my dad still wrote about you in his diary."

"Diary?" Gong Yuechao looked at Qin Zhengzheng puzzled.

"Wait a minute." Qin Zhengzheng threw these three words casually, and ran back to his room in a hurry, and ran back after a while, with a thick diary in his hand.

Qin Zhengzheng handed the book to Gong Yuechao, but Gong Yuechao didn't answer it, so Qin Zhengzheng turned to the page about Gong Yuechao and handed it to him.

Gong Yue looked at Qin Zhengzheng, then at the diary, and took it over.

Qin Zhengzheng's father's handwriting is very neat, and it records a day of ordinary police work. It can be seen that Qin Zhengzheng's father is very serious and responsible for his work.

In fact, the content about Gong Yuechao is not long, there are two pages, from when he ran to the police station to call the police to the follow-up leader's handling, that's all.

In addition to the creases, there were a few water marks on the page, which soaked the writing ink and made the paper crumpled. He rubbed it with his fingers and went to look at Qin Zhengzheng again.

Qin Zhengzheng scratched his scalp, laughed awkwardly, and explained: "At that time when your case came to the procuratorate, our leader said that I couldn't help you. In fact, from the beginning, the only thing I found strange was your crime. A lot of difficulties and doubts have accumulated. It was also unintentional. When I was looking through the work diary left by my dad, I originally wanted to find an answer for myself, but I didn’t expect to read something about you when you were a child, and then , and then I went to lawyer Chen, and he told me about you."

Gong Yuechao was shocked. He didn't expect Qin Zhengzheng to know all about it, and the traitor Chen Yusheng even said it...

"Then why are you hiding it from me?" Gong Yuechao asked.

Qin Zhengzheng said: "I agreed to Lawyer Chen, and I don't want you to think that I sympathize with you, and I don't want you to think that I like you because I sympathize with you, and these are all things in the past. I know the answer After that, I don’t want to pursue it any more.”

After Gong Yuechao closed the work diary, he handed it back to Qin Zhengzheng. He seemed to have calmed down a bit, turned around and sat back on the sofa, and even sank himself into it. In the only warm segment, he opened his mouth slowly, and said: "My childhood experience was terrible, and the psychological shadow caused by it has always enveloped me. That policeman...that is, your father, is the only good policeman I have ever met. Back then, I didn't like this profession, except for your father's factor, because these people with a hypocritical face didn't do a single thing. When I was most isolated and helpless, they didn't give me any help. Only him, no The same, but can't do much. I hate the police because they won't even help a child. So, when you said you were going to be a policeman, I felt very disappointed. On shit. I don't want to talk to you, and I don't think I have anything to tell you..."

"I know..." Qin Zhengzheng's voice seemed to be infected by Gong Yuechao, and it was also very deep, "I only found out later, and I also blame myself for being self-willed. I thought you ignored me first, so you just forgot. You helped me, and I didn't contact you during the four years of self-willedness."

Gong Yuechao sighed, and then sat up straight and looked at Qin Zhengzheng. Qin Zhengzheng's eyes were a little moist, and his face was full of regret, "When I later realized that I liked you in my heart, you Already in prison, I... I know I have nothing to stand on, but I still want to make up for those years. I'm sorry, teacher, don't you dislike me, I am a good policeman just like my dad, and I Trying to be like my dad."

Gong Yuechao put his hand on top of Qin Zhengzheng's head, paused for a moment, and then rubbed it.

Qin Zhengzheng couldn't wait to enjoy this moment of tenderness, and threw himself into Gong Yuechao's arms, hugging him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Enjoying the scorching warmth brought to him by the boy, Gong Yuechao was still preoccupied. He knew it was not good to mention this matter at this time, but he still wanted to know the answer so that he could let go of his grudges, so he slowly opened his mouth: "You After you know my criminal motives, why don’t you expose me, those things, the cases that you can’t solve, are indeed all done by me, if you don’t tell me, it will violate your original intention of being a good policeman.”

Qin Zhengzheng left from his arms, stared at him blankly, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "The moment I knew about you, the balance in my heart was tilted. What is justice, I now I will think about it. Those who have bullied and insulted you have escaped the punishment of the law, so the people who have been violated should punish those demons with their own hands. I think this is justice!"

"Qin Zhengzheng, but don't forget that you are a policeman and shouldn't have such three views."

"No, Teacher Gong, your three views are my three views." In the shock of Gong Yuechao, Qin Zhengzheng confessed to Gong Yuechao again: "So, I love you, don't ignore me."
