Chapter 30 Chapter Eighteen

Gu Changlong's memorial service was deserted, and few people came.Back then it was full of guests, countless people wanted to come to the door, as for those flatterers, they all disappeared without a trace.Even his own relatives avoided him on purpose to avoid getting into trouble—it was said that he was going to kill someone, but was killed by his ex-son-in-law, and the murderer is still at large. The night before his father was killed, he had a long conversation with Gu Qiusha. He said that he didn't want to live like this anymore, and that he would die together with that person than having nothing in his dying years.The daughter tried every means to persuade him to let go, but in fact, it was herself who couldn't let go, until she took the initiative to mention another name.

"Shen Ming?" Gu Changlong roared violently, "Are you still thinking about him?" "If you could have saved him back then; if you hadn't insisted on firing him and given him a chance, would he have taken that path of murder? Would he have died in the cold underground? If, you hadn't done those things Selfish and shameful, Shen Ming will still be my husband, he will accept me and tolerate me, we will live happily, and you will not be where you are today." "Shut up!" "In 1995, before our engagement ceremony, Shenming told me that President Qian was framed and committed suicide. You asked him to frame him, and you lied to him that it was a treasure from the town house! You don't know Shenming What a pain in his heart, he felt that he was a murderer and indirectly killed an upright old man. But he dared not report you, because you are my father and his father-in-law. He said that he would be punished by God sooner or later , An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and death. My dearest father, you took advantage of Shen, and finally abandoned him like a sick dog! You are a despicable person."

"But I have already given him the greatest reward, let my precious daughter marry a kid like him!" "Father, go to hell." Gu Changlong ran out of the house in shame, but Gu Qiusha didn't know that her father had the Swiss Army knife in her arms. Did I let Dad die? When the cremator was turned on, Gu Changlong was reduced to ashes. Gu Qiusha kept thinking about this problem, but she couldn't even shed a tear. After Ann's ashes were delivered, there was a man waiting for her. His face was still chiseled, reminiscent of Takakura Ken in Japanese movies in the past.

"Miss Gu, the police have confirmed that the Swiss Army knife was the murder weapon that killed your father. On the bloody handle, Lu Zhongyue's fingerprints were collected, which can basically confirm that he is the murderer." "Wait until you catch him." She said something coldly, and walked sideways to the door of the funeral parlor, Police officer Huang Hai followed her: "Lu Zhongyue probably absconded to other places, and the online arrest warrant has been issued to the whole country, but please cooperate with my work." "Do you think it's just a simple murder?"

This sentence made him pause slightly: "Actually, you know very well in your heart that I have been watching your house since He Nian's body was discovered." "He Nian, me, my father, and Lu Zhongyue—all are related to the statement that he was killed in 1995." These four people were once Shen Ming's most trusted people, but in his most difficult life and death At the critical moment, he betrayed and hurt him. It can be said that he bears inescapable responsibility for his death. "Since 2002, two of them have died unexpectedly, and one is absconding as a murderer. I believe that none of this is accidental, and it should be related to the murderer who killed Shen Ming."

"There's only one me left, so I'm probably not far from death, right?" "I'm sorry." Huang Hai showed some expression for the first time, but it was a little guilty, "As a policeman, I am ashamed." "If you really want to solve the case, you can pay attention to a person, a fourth grade elementary school student - Si Wang." "The child you adopted?" "Yes." After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "I think he should know Shen Ming. Although, he was born after Shen Ming's death." "I do not understand."

"Even I don't understand! Why did I know this child? Why did he come into my life, make me fall in love with him deeply, and then destroy me completely?" Huang Hai nodded coldly and said, "I will investigate him." "This boy has a mark on his back." "What is it?" Gu Qiusha didn't want to entangle with the police anymore, she walked out of the funeral home quickly, stopped a taxi and left. There were so few relatives and friends who came to the funeral, she canceled the dinner she had originally ordered, and she nestled in the back seat, watching the cold city outside the car window.

In just three months, she lost her company, wealth, power, home, husband, father, and her most cherished child one after another. In the past ten years, she has never imagined nor dared to imagine that when Shen Ming was imprisoned on trumped-up charges, deprived of his most precious teacher status, and buried everything he had gained through studying hard for more than ten years, In the end, he lost his own bride. What kind of pain and despair should it be? Just like myself at the moment... statement? If there was an afterlife, who would you be? Was it the boy who burned tinfoil in the backyard at ten o'clock in the evening on June 19 last year?

Wanger? In the last few months, he lived in Gu's house as an adopted son, with all the secrets close at hand.Because of Gu Qiusha's negligence, the power of the company fell into the hands of Lu Zhongyue and the new assistant to the general manager. She investigated Li Li privately and found that he had altered his resume during the application process. That's right, but the high school was at Nanming Middle School, graduated in 1995, probably a student that Shen Ming took care of. Siwang-horsepower-declaration. How terrifying is this fourth-grade elementary school student? The taxi stopped, not the apartment that Gu Qiusha was renting, but a narrow and dilapidated alley, facing the big locust tree that had just sprouted green leaves.

On the afternoon of the funeral, spring finally came. She looked at the window on the third floor, where women's and children's clothes were drying outside.She looked through the mailbox in the corridor, and sure enough, there was an envelope with He Qingying's name on it, which were all junk mail and advertisements. It seemed that their mother and son still lived here. Gu Qiusha didn't dare to go up rashly, she had to lurk secretly, day and night, year after year, following like a shadow, staring at Si Wang and his mother, until she caught their handle and dug out the secret hidden in this boy.

Compared with Lu Zhongyue who killed her father, she was more afraid of this boy who was less than 1.4 meters tall and weighed less than 30 kilograms, who once called her mother. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from behind: "Miss Gu, it's nice to see you again." It was a gentle female voice, Gu Qiusha turned her head in panic, it was indeed Si Wang's mother.He Qingying maintained a pretty face and a never-out-of-shape figure, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, with some fresh hairtail, which was Si Wang's favorite food. "Oh hello, I'm just passing by." Gu Qiusha didn't even dare to look at the other person's eyes. She came here a year ago condescendingly, facing this impoverished mother, she offered her wish to adopt her son like alms.Now the two have switched positions. Although they are the same age, she seems to be several years older than He Qingying. "Miss Gu, what happened to your family?" He Qingying saw the black veil on her arm, and Gu Qiusha smiled wryly: "The family is ruined!" "how could be?" "Are you pretending to be a little white rabbit?" Gu Qiusha replied unceremoniously, "I just came down from the memorial service and burned my father to ashes." "Sorry!" He Qingying took a step back naturally, and stared at Gu Qiusha for a few times. "I have the bad luck of a dead person on me, don't come near me!" "This...it's really a pity. I was grateful for your care before. Do you want to go up and sit down?" "No need, I'm afraid to disturb Wang-" Gu Qiusha just wanted to say the word "Wang'er", but immediately changed her words, "Si Wang." "It's just after school time, I don't know if he has come home yet." "Miss He, there is something I want to tell you - although your son is a rare genius, don't you think he is strange?" "I don't understand what you're talking about. Wang'er is indeed smarter than ordinary people, but in my eyes, he is still an ordinary child. He needs to add clothes when it's cold, needs to be sent to the hospital when he's sick, and likes to eat his mother's food. meals, that’s all.” However, from the look in He Qingying's eyes when she said this, Gu Qiusha concluded that she was lying. "Do you believe it? There will be an afterlife after death." "Miss Gu, what are you talking about?" "Probably when every child is just born, there will be memories of the previous life, whether it is a peaceful and happy death, or a fateful death, or an early death like some people. All the good, sad, contradictory, helpless, Painful memories will be entangled in the baby's mind - that's why they cry all night. Then they gradually forget it until they can't remember any more, and their brains are completely blank like a child." Gu Qiusha looked at the window upstairs , my mind is full of another person's face, the evening when I first met him, "Perhaps, many years later, in the streets and alleys, I met the him in the previous life by chance, and when I look back, I seem to have known each other, but it has been a whole reincarnation." She didn't know where her feelings came from, but she said so much politely. He Qingying seemed to be touched, bowed his head and said to himself: "But people always have to forget, it's better to forget?" "Do you know a man named Xiaozhi?" This is the name Si Wang chanted in his dreams, He Qingying shook his head blankly: "I don't know." "If you haven't discovered his secret, then you have to be careful! This child carries a curse, which will bring misfortune to everyone around him, such as my family, your husband, and you—" "Enough!" He Qingying finally showed an angry face, "Don't you think this is too much?" "Sorry, you are a mother, but I am also a woman. I really do it for your own good. I hope you can listen to me, otherwise... goodbye!" Gu Qiusha left without looking back, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and returned to her home after dark. It's a nice apartment with a monthly rent of 5,000 yuan.She still hid some money with her, and sold her jewelry after the accident, so that she could live comfortably. Just entering the porch, taking off his shoes, he heard a rushing sound, and the moment he was about to turn around, his back felt cold. Immediately after, there was a piercing pain, as if some kind of hard object had no time to struggle and scream, and the heart had been pierced. In her thirty-six years of life, the last thing Gu Qiusha saw was a group photo of her and Si Wang hanging on the wall. "When you kill someone, everything changes. Your life changes forever, and you live in fear for the rest of your life." In 1995, she and Shen Ming lay in bed and watched a video tape. A month later, he died.
