Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

So far, only the pastor, Beetui, Eileen, Charlie, and the lawyers in the law firm know that Bolai is not Bert Asuber. There are also police units.The so-called police unit refers to the "highest class". The police unit has fully understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, and now they are trying their best to arrange the situation in the most appropriate and ingenious way without violating the laws they uphold.Simon is dead anyway, digging up what he did is not going to help anyone, if not talking about it, it's not against the law to let this thing that no one wants to talk about just go by with time As for burial, things that have an impact on the future should be investigated and found out.

The coroner announced the end of the investigation into a pile of human remains recovered from the quarry.No one is missing in this area, and this quarry is a favorite place for gypsies to camp.They never reported missing persons to the police, so the pile of bones probably belonged to some gypsy.Furthermore, apart from a few unidentifiable fragments of clothing, there is no other evidence.Nothing else was found nearby, except a whistle, what looked like a knife, and some worthless copper plates. "George!" cried Beatrice, "where's the pen?" "You mean the fountain pen? I lost it."

"real? " "Someone has to be responsible for losing it. Police officer Small has a heavy responsibility for the country, he can't lose it; the police can't lose it, they always have to be responsible to the people: and my conscience exists between God and me, so It’s only fitting that I take on that responsibility.” The investigation into Simon soon came out as well.Since this investigation was not started until Bo Lai recovered slightly and was able to be interviewed in the hospital, it was delayed a bit.The policeman who visited Beaure reported that Mr. Asuber could no longer recall the events of the accident, nor could he even explain why he and his brother had to go to that place in the middle of the night.He vaguely remembered that two people were betting on whether there was water under the cliff.But because Bo Lai's memory is too vague to swear on what he said.He suffered serious head injuries and was still very weak.But he did remember that he himself had learned from Abel the shepherd that there was no water under the quarry, and that Simon thought there must be water, and that the two might have wagered on that.

Abel also testified, reinforcing the veracity of Bray's words.And he was the first to discover the accident.At that time, he was grazing sheep on the hillside, when he heard a cry for help, he ran to the scene quickly, only to see a intact rope.So he hurried to the blacksmith not far away and called the police.Beati also said that if she knew that the two brothers had such a plan in advance, she would definitely stop it.The coroner then declared his inquiry complete. The result of the investigation announced by the police is: accidental death.The coroner also expressed his personal condolences to the family of the promising young man.

And just like that, the question about Simon was settled.This kid killed his brother before he was fourteen years old, then calmly wrote his suicide note in imitation of his brother's handwriting, and then went to the blacksmith's place to stay the whole afternoon. At six o'clock, he deliberately asked the blacksmith to go back for dinner When everyone was busy looking for his brother, he took the opportunity to take a coat of his brother, put the fabricated suicide note in the pocket of the coat, and put the coat on the top of the cliff leading to Xishi Town, but now it is regarded as A "promising young man" came to mourn.

As for Bolai's problem, it has not been resolved for a while. It is not a question of who he is, but how to arrange his future. Doctors said his chances of survival were high due to the highly unlikely circumstances of his escape.But long-term care and a peaceful life are necessary if he is to make a full recovery. "Uncle Charlie came to see you one day when you were not fully awake." When Bolai had recovered and could concentrate, Beatui said to him one day: "As soon as he saw you, Just surprised you look so much like my cousin Howard." "Really?" Bo Laiman responded, not interested at all.So what if you look alike? "So we started investigating your background."

"The police have investigated it a long time ago," he said lazily, "It has been investigated several years ago." "Yes, but their investigations were not thorough enough. They only found out that a girl took a train with a baby to the station near the orphanage that year and left without the baby. The train was from Birmingham. It came, but Birmingham is the intersection of many branch lines, and it is difficult to continue to trace. This time we searched from the other end, that is, the Ward end. We started with Ward's whereabouts some twenty-two years ago.Hua De is an indeterminate person, so it is not easy to find out where he has been and what he has done.But we found out that in those days he had been in charge of the stables of a family in this part of Grorches for some months.At that time, the owner of that family had gone to the hospital for an operation, leaving only a housekeeper and a little girl who cooked.

"The little girl cooks well, but her real ambition is to be a nurse in the hospital. The owner and housekeeper of the family like the little girl very much, so when they found out that she was pregnant, they still let her go. so she was born by the midwife at Groches. The housekeeper always believed that the baby was Howard's, but the little girl kept refusing to tell the truth. She didn't want to get married, she just wanted to be a Nurse. She told them then that she was going to take the baby back to her house in Ishan so that he could be christened. But she never came back after she left. After a long time, the housekeeper received a A letter written by a little girl. In addition to thanking the housekeeper for taking care of her, the letter also told her that she had fulfilled her wish and became a nurse. At the end of the letter, she also said: "No one knows about my child's health." I've already made the best arrangements for him." When Bitui said this, she glanced at Bo.His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, but he obviously listened to Beetui's words.

"Her name is Wu Mali. She later became a really good nurse, even better than cooking. Unfortunately, she was killed during the war because she was escorting patients to a safe area." For a long time, no one made a sound. "I think I may have inherited my mother's cooking genius," Bo Lai said suddenly, but he couldn't understand the meaning in his tone. "I personally like Huade very much. He is very kind and considerate. He just likes to drink, and he can do anything stupid when he drinks. I think Huade probably doesn't know about the girl's pregnancy at all, otherwise he would definitely be with him immediately. She's married. I don't think she wants Ward to know."

Bicui glanced at Bolai again.It may be too early to tell him so much now, but it may not necessarily arouse his interest in life by doing so. "Beau, this is probably all the information we can gather, but we have no doubts about it. As soon as Uncle Charlie saw you, he said with confidence: 'Ward,' but I I think you look more like your mother. Look, this is Wu Mali's photo, which was taken in her second year of working in St. Luke's Hospital." Bitui handed a yellowed photo to Bolai, It was never brought back. A week or two later, Beatrice said to Eileen one day, "Lian'er, I think I should go. I rented a horse farm from Kantimu, and I want to go there."

"Oh, Beatrice!" "It's not in a hurry to leave. We have to wait until Bolai fully recovers and can travel." "Are you going to take Bray there too? Yes, of course you must! Really, Beatrice, that's a very good idea! It'll solve a lot of problems, don't you think? But Do you have enough money for such a large rent? Can I lend you some money?" "No. Uncle Charlie will help. Come to think of it, isn't it kind of heart-warming that Uncle Charlie would help me with the horses? You've got a lot of inheritance tax to pay, too. San Mr Du told the bank that the Reichetts had been owned by Simon for many years." "How are we going to let people know who Bray really is? I mean, about him not being Bert." "I think we don't have to announce it to people at all, the truth will come out. We don't need to try to hide the truth. Anyway, if we continue to treat him as part of our family and don't hold him accountable, those who like to say The mouths of right and wrong people will naturally be blocked. In this way, we will all be saved, Lian Er. He will also be saved." "Yeah, we're all going to be saved. If someone brings this up to me in the future, I'll be like, 'Oh, you mean my cousin? Yeah, he did pretend to be my brother for a while. .' He said it as nonchalantly as if discussing how to make a cake." Pausing for a while, Ailian continued: "But I hope people will know his identity earlier, so that I can follow him earlier before I get too old. He gets married." "You really have this plan?" Bitui asked a little surprised. "I've made up my mind." Now Beetui was a little hesitant, and then she told herself, don't be nervous, just let things take their course. "Don't worry, what should come will always come." "Now that Uncle Charlie has come and decided to settle down here," Beatrice went on to say, "It's time for me to leave here and start my life again." "I'm interested in a place in Auster, which is the horse farm in Kantimu." She said this to the patient on the bed. Now, she saw the patient's fingers fidgeting with the sheets. "So you're going to Auster?" he began. "There is one condition, that is, you have to follow me and help me take care of the stable." At this time, the eyes of this young man who was gradually recovering from the catastrophe were filled with tears, and they rolled down his cheeks drop by drop. "Oh, Beatrice!" he said at last. "I think my job offer has been accepted!" said Beatri happily.
