After leaving the Municipal Public Security Bureau last night, Chang Fei found a random hotel to stay in.

He is not asleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, what appeared in front of his eyes were the pieces of corpses in the refrigerator.The black mole on the corpse was like a shadow.

He rubbed his bloodshot eyes, pulled the clothes he hadn't taken off at all, picked up the mobile phone on the bed, and unlocked the lock screen - what appeared in front of him was a list of call records. For the saved landline number, the displayed call time is 5 minutes ago.

The phone screen gradually dimmed, and finally, he stiffened and went out to check out the room.

The sun had risen outside, and Chang Fei, who hadn't turned on the lights all night, was blinded by the sudden light and subconsciously closed his eyes.When he opened it again, his eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Chang Fei rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked up at the surrounding environment.

Last night, I walked around casually, grabbed the hotel and went in without noticing where it was.

Looking at it now...it was actually near the law firm where he worked.

Yiming Law Firm is two streets away from Lvjing Garden, and they usually ride there by bicycle.Today, you can go straight through.

He lowered his head, rubbed his eyes again, and smiled wryly.

In the early morning of early spring, the spring is cold and cold. Although there is sun, the cold wind is also howling.Chang Fei is a person who is afraid of the cold, and he is basically fully armed in winter, but now, the cold wind is pouring in from his slightly open neckline, but he seems not to feel it, and walks slowly towards the law firm with his hands down.

The working hours of Yiming Law Firm are the same as those of the procuratorate and the court, at 08:30 in the morning.Very not usually late, but not so much early.

It was only seven o'clock when he arrived at the law firm.

The door of the law firm was still closed, and it was quiet inside.Chang Fei rummaged through the pockets of his clothes and trousers, but there was nothing there except a mobile phone that was about to run out of battery.

He sat down on the steps of the doorway dejectedly, lowered his head, and buried his head deeply in his knees.

Hou Yisheng is a very time-conscious person.This concept of time means that, for example, when going to work, he will arrive at the office 5 minutes before going to work on time, neither early nor late.For another example, if you make an appointment with a client, he will also arrive 5 minutes before the appointed time, neither early nor late.

He has excellent restraint, and it never happens that he can't wake up the next day because of things like drinking the night before.He planned the itinerary in detail every day, and it was very clear what to do at this time and what to do at that time.

On this day, he came to the law firm as usual. 8:25, not more than one second, not less than one second.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he stopped.

The door of the law firm has been opened, and other colleagues inside can be seen getting busy.But the door...

He lowered his eyelids and looked intently.

There was a man sitting on the doorstep.The man sat there for an unknown amount of time, and his exposed hands were red from the cold wind.But he didn't seem to feel anything, and remained motionless.

Hou Yisheng frowned almost invisibly.

He walked up to Chang Fei and asked coldly, "What are you doing sitting at the door?"

The fingers that were exposed outside moved slightly, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Hou Yisheng with unfocused eyes.

Hou Yisheng looked at his red eyes, and his heart clicked for no reason—what happened?But his face was still cold, and he said, "Get up."

Chang Fei seemed to recognize who the person in front of him was, and opened his lips lightly: "Lawyer Hou..."

Then his eyes became redder, and there was a trace of water vapor in his eyes, like a lost child who saw his relatives.

The body that had been sitting for a long time moved, and Chang Fei propped up his knees and stood up slowly.However, because he had been in one position for too long, he didn't realize that his legs were numb until he stood up.

His paralyzed legs staggered and nearly fell.

Almost - he was firmly supported by Hou Yisheng's arm.

In Hou Yisheng's office, Chang Fei sat obediently on the sofa.

The air conditioner in the office has been turned on, Hou Yisheng took off his coat as soon as he entered, looked back at Chang Fei's red hands, took out a disposable paper cup, poured hot water, handed it to Chang Fei, and said simply: "Take it."

Chang Fei has been by Hou Yisheng's side since he graduated and entered the law firm. He admires his professional level very much, so he listens to him at work.Whatever Hou Yisheng asked him to do, he would do.Although sometimes being accused too much, I can't help complaining about Hou Yisheng with my friends, but I will still complete the work that has been assigned seriously.Not to mention how much I know Hou Yisheng since work, but I still have a basic understanding - such a thing as serving tea and water, Hou Yisheng would never do it.

So, very surprised.

At this moment, he was so startled by Hou Yisheng's unexpected action that he briefly forgot about the mole, the body part, and the murder case.

In a daze, he reached out his hand blankly and took the disposable paper cup.

The temperature of the hot water is transmitted to the palm of the hand through the disposable paper cup.The coldness in both hands seemed to disintegrate in an instant.But Chang Fei seemed to be a little afraid of the heat all of a sudden, the hand holding the paper cup trembled, and a few drops of hot water splashed out.

A drop of hot water splashed onto the back of Chang Fei's hand, and his hand trembled violently.

Hou Yisheng frowned, bent down and took the paper cup away.

"what happened?"

Chang Fei raised his head, looked at Hou Yisheng's frowning expression in front of him, opened his mouth, and didn't speak.

Hou Yisheng sat on the single sofa next to him, crossed his legs, and looked at him steadily.

Chang Fei admires Hou Yisheng at work and trusts him in all aspects.For him, Hou Yisheng is not only the teacher in charge of guiding him in the law firm, but also a very trustworthy elder brother.At this moment, just sitting like this and looking at him like this made him seem to have a backbone.

He thought blankly: "Lawyer Hou is so powerful, maybe he can tell me what to do..."

His hands gradually stopped shaking, and he took the initiative to pick up the disposable paper cup on the table, and the warm warmth came again.

Chang Fei didn't hide anything, and told Hou Yisheng what happened last night word by word.

After Hou Yisheng listened, he clasped the armrest of the sofa with his right hand and said, "The deceased is your...boyfriend?"

Chang Fei finished talking to people, as if he had let go of the emotions in his heart, and felt that he had no energy left.He leaned back, leaning his back against the sofa, and nodded slightly.

"Last night, when you opened the refrigerator and saw the mole on the body, you knew it?" Hou Yisheng confirmed again, "And this morning, the police informed you that they officially identified the deceased as your boyfriend."

Chang Fei nodded slightly again.

Hou Yisheng didn't say anything more.

He is not very good at comforting people, and he thinks that there is no need for comfort. It is just that he has been hit for a while, and when he recovers, he will adjust himself.

He pondered for a while and asked, "Do you need to ask for leave?"

The word "leave" came out of Hou Yisheng's mouth, which was as shocking as he had just received the hot water and delivered it himself.

Surprise clearly appeared in the eyes of Chang Fei.He shook his head flattered: "No, there is no need to ask for leave..."

Hou Yisheng is a workaholic. Since Chang Fei followed him, he has never seen him ask for leave, and he is very strict about the leave in the office.But Yan Guiyan, if you really have something important to do, Hou Yisheng will also allow you to leave, and will not embarrass you.

Hou Yisheng nodded and said, "You just said that a policeman who came over last night knew me?"

"Yeah." Chang Fei said, "He said he was your friend."

"Then don't worry about it," Hou Yisheng said, "Although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed a good policeman."

Chang Fei gave a soft "hmm".

"I'll ask you about the specifics of the case later." Hou Yisheng had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door of his office.

Hou Yisheng put down Erlang's legs, and said softly, "Come in".

Assistant Xiaomi appeared at the door and reminded respectfully: "Lawyer Hou, you have to see a client in 10 minutes. The client has already arrived."

"Understood." After Hou Yisheng finished speaking, the assistant retreated.

Very busy stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lawyer Hou, for taking up your working time..."

He knew that Hou Yisheng's daily work was well arranged, almost accurate to the second.Obviously, just now, Hou Yisheng sacrificed a certain arrangement to accommodate him...

Hou Yisheng waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Throughout the morning, Chang Fei stayed in his office looking at the case at hand.

His office was a big one, and all the trainee lawyers were here.They all saw that something was wrong with Chang Fei today, and seeing him coming out of Hou Yisheng's office, they thought that something was wrong with Hou Yisheng, so they comforted him.

——After all, everyone knows how strict and difficult Hou Yisheng is.

Chang Fei didn't say anything else, just explained that it had nothing to do with Hou Yisheng.

After noon, Chang Fei received a call from the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

At that time, it was lunch time, some people ordered takeaway, and some people went out to eat.Chang Fei didn't order takeaway, didn't go out, he didn't have any appetite.

Although Hou Yisheng is a workaholic, his daily meal time is also very fixed.Lunch is at twelve o'clock, and dinner is at seven o'clock.

Just after twelve o'clock, Hou Yisheng walked out of the office, ready to eat as usual.Then, he heard the voice of Chang Fei on the phone.

"Well, I'm free now..."

"Come here..."

"Okay. There is a coffee shop in front of the law firm. I'll wait for you there."

After hanging up the phone, Chang Fei took a deep breath and lowered his head to tidy up the documents on the desktop.

"police?"

Chang Fei was taken aback by the voice that suddenly appeared next to him, and when he looked up, it was Hou Yisheng.

"Lawyer Hou." Chang Fei called out and nodded again.

There were other people in the office, Hou Yisheng lifted his chin towards the door: "Go out and talk."

Three minutes later, Chang Fei followed Hou Yisheng to the coffee shop in front of the law firm.

The coffee shop not only sells coffee, but also sells dessert cakes.

After the two sat down, Hou Yisheng asked, "What do you eat?"

Chang Fei said, "Latte is fine."

Hou Yisheng glanced at him, and ordered a cup of latte, a cup of black coffee, and some small cakes.

After the cakes came out, Hou Yisheng pushed them in front of Chang Fei and said, "Eat."

He shook his head very subconsciously: "I'm not hungry..."

Hou Yisheng glanced at him: "You haven't eaten since last night, have you?"

Chang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, yes, since he got off the high-speed train yesterday, he hasn't eaten anymore... He didn't feel hungry...

"I won't say too much." Hou Yisheng said, "Now, eat something."

Chang Fei nodded and began to eat the cake.

Ten minutes later, people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau came.
