When Yang Lei woke up, he had a splitting headache. He looked around, and it took him a long time to find himself lying on the bed in the bedroom of the new house.
"… "
Yang Lei only remembered how he got drunk and sang karaoke last night, and how he came back after that, his mind was blank. He sat up and glanced at the opposite wall. There was also a wedding photo of him and Fang Mei hanging on the wall of the bedroom. Yang Lei was a little disgusted, and he didn't know who brought him here.
He shook his heavy head, feeling as if he had a dream, messy, fiery, but only vague fragments, shaking in his mind.
He dreamed of Fang Yu, like in countless dreams in the past, he and Fang Yu hugged and kissed tightly...
But the residual feeling of this dream was very real, making Yang Lei a little confused.
He was stunned for a moment, glanced at his watch, and quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He had overslept and had to get back to the troops immediately.
He pressed his hand on the bed sheet next to him, but was stunned.
The sheets were still warm. There is still heat.
"..." Yang Lei was stunned.
He was stunned when the phone rang.
"Are you in the new house?" Yang Dahai's voice.
Yang Lei didn't expect it to be Yang Dahai. Yang Dahai went abroad to investigate after the New Year. He was not in Jianghai for a long time, and Yang Lei didn't go home for many days. I don't know when he came back.
"Come back right away!" Yang Dahai's voice was a little unusual. Since the father and son reconciled, Yang Dahai has not used such a stern tone for a long time.
"What's the matter? I have to rush back to the army." Yang Lei was late.
"I asked for leave for you. You will be back soon." Yang Dahai hung up the phone.
Yang Lei returned to his home in the military region and entered the door, Yang Dahai's expression was wrong.
"What's the matter?" Yang Lei thought that something must have happened when Yang Dahai called him back in such a hurry.
Yang Dahai didn't answer immediately and told him to sit down on the sofa. Yang Dahai's face was gloomy.
"What have you been up to lately?"
Yang Dahai's tone was as condescending as before. Yang Lei felt a little uncomfortable.
"Welcome to the investigation?" Yang Lei didn't know what Yang Dahai was going to talk about.
"What about life?" Yang Dahai stared at Yang Lei.
"What's wrong with your life?"
"... When will the matter between you and Fang Mei be delayed?"
Yang Dahai frowned tightly and raised his voice.
"That's what you said when you asked me to come back from leave?" Yang Lei became impatient. "No delay! Doesn't she want to study abroad? Wait until she gets back."
"You all go to get the certificate today, get the certificate first, and then she goes to study, don't delay!"
"Fang Mei and I have discussed the decision, you don't have to worry about this!"
Yang Lei annoyed Yang Dahai and hurriedly urged this matter with a pale face as soon as he came back.
"How long have you been procrastinating? I said before that the house was not renovated, but now the house is in good shape. Fang Mei's family is urging every day, you still have to delay! How much time will it take you to get a certificate? It's just an excuse all day long. That excuse!... Tell me the truth today, do you still want to get married?! You... do you want to get married??"
Yang Dahai suddenly had a sudden attack, with a look of anger on his face.
"I said it, wait until she gets back!"
Yang Lei didn't want to have a dispute with Yang Dahai, he didn't know why Yang Dahai suddenly came back because of this.
"... You're not busy with marriage during this time, what are you busy with?" Yang Dahai suddenly asked.
"Are you hanging out with those people from before?"
Yang Lei was stunned and glanced at Yang Dahai.
"... That Fang Yu, when did he start looking for you?"
Yang Dahai suddenly said, his face was very ugly.
Yang Lei knew that Yang Dahai had always been disgusted by his association with his former bastard friends, especially Fang Yu. Over the years, the relationship between father and son has eased, and he has always avoided talking about this issue, knowing that they can't talk to each other. When Fang Yu returned to Jianghai, Yang Lei thought that Yang Dahai might have heard of it, but now Yang Lei heard Yang Dahai mention Fang Yu's tone, full of disgust, and Yang Lei couldn't bear it.
"You don't mind that tone? What's wrong with him coming to me?"
"what happened to you… "
Yang Dahai went to the new house in the morning, and in the room he saw someone he had never thought of. Fang Yu was sitting beside the sleeping Yang Lei's bed. Fang Yu saw him and walked out without saying anything. Yang Dahai was shocked…
"What did he do with you? What did he tell you?"
Yang Dahai's tone was anxious, impatient, and even nervous.
Yang Dahai did not wake Yang Lei immediately, but called Yang Lei home. The city government, who had been an official for many years, made him want to talk calmly with Yang Lei, but now, Yang Dahai still lost his calm.
"Why are you asking this?" Yang Lei stared at Yang Dahai.
"you… "
Yang Dahai was anxious and blurted out:
"He came to you just after he came out?"
Yang Lei didn't speak and looked at Yang Dahai.
"Just out?... What do you mean?"
"...I'm asking you if he came to you when he got out of prison a few years ago? Have you been in contact all the time?... He told me that he didn't contact you!"
Yang Dahai paused and scolded.
Yang Lei didn't answer, staring at Yang Dahai without moving.
"... I have told you to cut off contact with these nonsense people! You are not allowed to mix with these people, do you hear?... The marriage with Fang Mei must be as soon as possible!"
Yang Dahai was furious, but he didn't continue talking and walked out of the door.
"..." Yang Lei looked at Yang Dahai's back, standing in the room without moving.
He thought about what Yang Dahai said just now, and doubts arose.
A never-before-seen thought suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, and Yang Lei felt a chill in his mind...
Yang Lei walked out of the house, instead of going to the army, he went directly to the city bureau.
"Yo, Leizi!" Brother Yong was still in the city bureau, and now he was promoted, he greeted Yang Lei warmly.
"Brother Yong, where is my uncle?" Yang Lei asked right away.
"The director went to the Northeast and brought a serious crime team with him. He personally took command. What's the matter, you miss him." Brother Yong joked.
"Brother Yong, I have something to ask you."
Brother Yong was stunned for a moment, Yang Lei's expression was something he had never seen before. He had never seen Yang Lei's expression before.
"Do you remember Fang Yu?"
Yang Lei stared at Brother Yong.
"Of course I remember. Isn't he your buddy, he was released long ago. What's the matter?"
In Fang Yu's case, Brother Yong was one of the main criminal police officers in charge. When Yang Lei took Fang Yu to surrender, Brother Yong knew the situation before and after. Later, Fang Yu was tried and imprisoned. Brother Yong knew the situation best.
"When was it released?"
"It's been a few years, why did you ask me, you don't know?" Brother Yong wondered. He didn't know why Yang Lei suddenly asked this.
Yang Lei didn't speak, Yang Lei's mind was a little confused.
"... How many years of punishment?"
"A year, I don't have to spend a few years without punishment."
"You remember correctly?"
"You can't be wrong. You asked your brothers to take care of you more. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Brother Yong was very impressed by Fang Yu. Yang Lei tried everything for Fang Yu and compromised with his father. Brother Yong knew something about Yang Lei's family. Based on this, Brother Yong was also deeply impressed by Fang Yu.
"... The prison where Fang Yu is squatting, I have something to ask. Help me find someone who knows the best situation. I want to go there right away."
"Didn't you ask before?" Three years ago, Yang Lei went to the prison and asked about Fang Yu's increased sentence, and the prison's answer to him was similar to what Fang Yu himself said.
"Let's ask more. Do me a favor, Brother Yong."
"Okay, I'll ask right away."
Brother Yong was surprised. Since Yang Lei joined the army, his temperament has been much more stable and calm than before. He has not seen Yang Lei so impatient and impatient for a long time.
"Wait a second, there is a person being tried inside, and the trial is over soon, I'll go through the formalities."
Brother Yong pointed to the interrogation room, as if remembering.
"By the way, you should know this person."
"Who?" Yang Lei responded casually, he didn't have the heart to listen to anything else now.
"Chen Zhiqiang."
"Chen Zhiqiang? Who?" Yang Lei went through it in his mind, but couldn't find the name. He didn't remember knowing this number.
At this time, the interrogation was over, and the man was escorted out by the police.
Yang Lei looked up and saw a thin and delicate young man with short hair being held by the police.
The young man looked up and saw Yang Lei as well.
Yang Lei was stunned.
"... a cat?"
