Chapter 22 end

"Is it Xiao Chen?" On the other end of the phone, Ye Feng's Cantonese Mandarin voice said: "I have investigated the records of Baishi's activities in Shenzhen in detail, and the report has been sent to you. There is also the police in his hometown. Bureau, we also asked someone to ask about the situation, and it was included in the report we gave you. This person is now in his hometown. If you want to investigate, you can detain him for questioning at any time..." "thanks, thanks." Ye Feng's express delivery report - that thick kraft paper envelope is now placed in front of Chen Ziyu's writing desk.

Chen Ziyu put down the phone, held it in his hand and looked at it. Yuan Ye's funeral took place one morning in March.The day was sunny and clear. He didn't have many relatives there, and the ones who went were all colleagues from the Public Security Bureau and old classmates from the police academy.Su Qin, dressed in black, presided over the ceremony as a family member. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked pale and haggard. Cheng Lin went to Yuan Ye's grave with him, put down the white chrysanthemums, and bowed. After the funeral, Chen Ziyu said to Cheng Lin: "You wait for me. I will have a private conversation with her."

He came to Su Qin's side, took out a letter from his briefcase, and handed it to Su Qin: "This is from Yuan Ye, let me pass it to you." Su Qin opened it suspiciously, and inside was a deposit receipt in her name, with an amount of 500,000. Su Qin was stunned: "This... this is not..." "He said it was his last wish." When Chen Ziyu turned around, Su Qin stopped him: "Officer Chen..." Su Qin stood in confusion for a while, before making up her mind and asking: "Ding Yi, did he really commit suicide?" Chen Ziyu paused for a while, and smiled bitterly: "That's right. Isn't this case already closed?"

Su Qin stood there in doubt, looking at Chen Ziyu's back. Chen Ziyu knew she would be fine.No matter how deep the pain at this moment is, after thirty or forty years, there will be only a shadow of Yuan Ye in her heart, a shadow that will always exist but has a blurred face.This is also Yuan Ye's greatest wish. Next to the tombstone, an aunt kept stuffing the ghost papers into a large burning iron bucket, and burned them to Yuan Ye in another world.Chen Ziyu walked over, took out the unopened cowhide envelope from the briefcase, and put it in.The flames of the iron barrel surrounded it all at once.The black smoke from the burning rose up into the blue sky.Chen Ziyu looked up, and saw a trace of cotton-like cloud shadows, gently crossing the light blue sky, the sky was vast and boundless.

In this almost quiet moment, the sense of human existence is very clear. The dead have love and nostalgia for the world, why don't the living love and live well? He also hopes that he can be full of enthusiasm like Yuan Ye, but that enthusiasm can not be blinded under the control of reason. He also hopes that he can believe in the truth, and hope that that belief will not be distorted in the end. A gust of wind blows, and black fly ash swirls past his feet. Chen Ziyu once heard that it is a person from the underworld saying goodbye to his relatives. Chen Ziyu never believed in things like the soul going to heaven after death, but at this moment he really wanted to believe that Yuan Ye went to that distant place to reunite with his parents there.

He looked up at the end of the sky and said goodbye to Yuan Ye in his heart.
