The dark clouds are overpowering, the sky is heavy (yīn), and the weather is hot (rè) in September, everything is so oppressive.

The bluestone paved path is lined with towering trees and foliage, making the already dark sky even darker.

It is rare for a wisp of wind to blow, and the branches and leaves sway, making a "rustling" sound.

The shadows of the trees are reflected on the ground, but they are like ghosts with long teeth and claws, which makes people shudder.

Li Ye and Ye Mengying walked silently on the path, their expressions were very solemn.

In view of the fact that Guan Shan, Wang Changfa and others died in the line of duty, the Special Administration Bureau and the Jiangcheng No. 2 Detention Center decided to hold a grand funeral for Guan Shan and others to comfort the families of the deceased.

And today Li Ye and Ye Mengying came to attend the funeral of Guan Shan and others, and the two happened to meet on the road, so they came together.

"Team leader, where did you say Ren Fan was hiding, why did we look for him for so long, but we still haven't found him?"

Xu couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the air, and wanted to relieve his heart (qíng) by speaking, Ye Mengying suddenly asked Li Ye as he walked.

"I don't know, we investigated any fan's background, although there is very little information about him, but it is basically certain that he should be a professional killer, if a person like this really wants to hide himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him. Lee also replied.

"Then can't we catch him?" Ye Mengying turned his head to look at Li Ye and asked with some anger.

Although Ye Mengying and Guan Shan have not had any contact, as a colleague, Guan Shan's death still made Ye Mengying very angry.

Based on this, for Ren Fan, the murderer of Guan Shan, Ye Mengying was naturally eager to bring him to justice.

"Not necessarily, but ......" Li also shook his head, but he didn't say the next sentence.

But even if Li didn't say it, Ye Mengying also knew what he meant, with Ren Fan's cunning, if they wanted to catch any Fan, I am afraid they would have to wait for any Fan to make a mistake, or rely on luck.

After a brief conversation, Ye Mengying not only felt that her heart (qíng) had improved, but she was even more bored.

Fortunately, after walking for a long time, Li Ye and Ye Mengying finally came to the door of the cemetery.

Yong'an Garden, an antique archway, is eye-catching engraved with the name of the cemetery.

"May the bones rest forever, eternal peace", this should be regarded as a blessing to the dead!

Under the pillars supporting the archway, two finely carved stone lions stare at everyone who enters the cemetery with eyes the size of copper bells, adding a sense of tranquility and solemnity to the surroundings.

Although the cemetery is very large, there are not many people who come to sweep the grave today.

Following the sparse flow of people, Li Ye was about to walk towards the cemetery, but Ye Mengying next to (shēn) suddenly stopped him.

"What's wrong with Dream Shadow?" Li also turned his head in surprise and asked.

"Team leader, should we go buy a bouquet of flowers first!" Ye Mengying said and pointed to the flower stall at the entrance of the cemetery.

"Okay, let's go take a look!" Li also thought about it, although the bureau Corey had already prepared wreaths, but it was not impossible to buy two more bouquets of flowers to express his heart.

This flower stall is placed at the entrance of the cemetery, apparently originally prepared for tomb sweepers, and it is basically sold at the flower stall that is suitable for funerals such as chrysanthemums, lilies and calla lilies.

"What flowers are you going to buy?" The flower stall was run by a middle-aged woman in her forties, who immediately asked (rè) (qíng) when she saw Li Ye and Ye Mengying coming over.

"Team leader, what kind of flowers do you say are good to buy?" Ye Mengying looked at Li Ye and asked.

"Whatever! you can pick and choose!" Li also shrugged, anyway, these flowers are almost the same, and it doesn't make much difference what to buy.

"Okay!" Although he didn't get any advice from Li Ye, Ye Mengying didn't care.

Ye Mengying's gaze carefully swept over each bouquet of flowers on the flower stall, and finally she locked on the two bouquets of chrysanthemums.

Although at first glance, these two bouquets of chrysanthemums were nothing special, but after Ye Mengying's careful observation, she felt that compared with the other flowers on the flower stall, these two bouquets of chrysanthemums looked a little fresher.

"Boss, I want those two bouquets of chrysanthemums!" Ye Mengying pointed to the two bouquets of chrysanthemums she had picked.

"Okay!" the middle-aged woman who bought flowers heard this, and immediately picked up the two bunches of words very happily.

Originally, the middle-aged woman didn't say anything when she saw Ye Mengying standing there for a long time, and thought that Ye Mengying couldn't look down on the flowers on her flower stall and didn't want to buy them.

"How much?" Ye Mengying took out her wallet and asked the middle-aged woman.

"One bundle of eighty, two bundles of one hundred and sixteen. ”

"How much?" When Ye Mengying heard the price said by the middle-aged woman, she was suddenly surprised and thought that she had misheard.

"One bundle of eighty, two bundles of one hundred and sixteen. ”

It wasn't until the middle-aged woman smiled and repeated it again that Ye Mengying was sure that she had indeed heard the price correctly.

"This bouquet of flowers costs eighty, isn't it too expensive?" Ye Mengying asked with a frown.

There are only seven white chrysanthemums in Ye Mengying's bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and there are no other matching flowers, so the ordinary seven white chrysanthemums actually cost eighty, isn't this a money grab!

However, what Ye Mengying never expected was that the middle-aged woman who bought the flowers didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her pricing, but on the contrary, she said eloquently: "Girl, eighty-one bouquets are really not expensive at all." If you think of it this way, the price of this bouquet of chrysanthemums is equivalent to your friendship with the deceased, and how high the price is, how deep the friendship is. ”

After listening to the middle-aged woman's explanation, Ye Mengying couldn't help but be so angry that her little face turned red, isn't this a moral kidnapping for a middle-aged woman!

Just as Ye Mengying began to spin her brain quickly, ready to argue with the middle-aged woman, Li next to (shēn) also gently tugged at her arm.

"Dream Shadow, since the price is so expensive, let's not buy it. Saying that, Li didn't wait for Ye Mengying to answer, so he pulled her away from the flower stall and walked towards the cemetery.

Li also thought that there was no need to talk to middle-aged women too much, that would only affect their own hearts (qíng).

But as a result, Li Ye and the others hadn't gone far before they heard the middle-aged woman deliberately shouting behind their backs: "These two young people look good at wearing (tǐng), but they don't even want to buy bouquets of flowers when they sweep the tomb, it's really enough, and they wasted so much saliva on me." ”

"Me!"

"Alright Dream Shadow, let's go, or the funeral will begin. ”

The middle-aged woman (yīn) was so angry that Ye Mengying turned her head and was about to reason with her, but fortunately, Li also dragged Ye Mengying in time to persuade her, which avoided a quarrel.

When Li Ye and Ye Mengying rushed to the auditorium where the funeral was held, pushed the door and entered, it was already full of people.

However, judging by the commotion of the crowd, the funeral should not have started yet.

Li also looked twice, and quickly found the location that belonged to the Special Management Bureau, so he immediately took Ye Mengying and walked over.

"Li Ye, Xiao Ye, you are here. Zhou Quan, who had been standing in the auditorium for a long time, saw Li Ye and the others, and immediately waved to them.

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, why didn't Section Chief Liu come!" Li also looked around, but didn't see Liu Yongqiang's (shēn) shadow, and asked suspiciously.

"Oh! Corey is too busy with work, and Lao Liu can't leave, so he asked me to come on his behalf!" Zhou Quan explained.

"That's it!" Li also nodded on the surface, but in his heart he didn't believe it.

What work is too busy, this is all an excuse, Liu Yongqiang must not come for one reason, simply don't want to attend this funeral.

In fact, if the bureau hadn't issued a notice, saying that everyone except those who had a case at hand and those on duty would have come to attend the funeral, otherwise Li would not have been willing to come.

It is true that Guan Shan and others died in the line of duty and deserve respect, but is it necessary to hold such a big funeral!

Moreover, Li also felt that instead of being the head here, it was better to find a way to see how to catch Ren Fan as soon as possible, because only by bringing the murderer to justice is the best tribute to the undead.

So it was once said that funerals were not so much for the dead as for the living.

The deceased is deceased, and how can they still see what happened after life (qíng), but the relatives and friends of the deceased are still alive, and they need not only a funeral to express their grief in their hearts, but also a funeral to express their grief to outsiders.

Otherwise, if you don't do anything, no matter how sad your heart is, it will inevitably cause gossip.

Of course, no matter how Li Ye looked at this funeral, the funeral finally began in mourning.

……

The funeral lasted more than two hours, and it was not until everyone bowed in front of the portrait of the deceased that all the services were completed.

Originally, after the funeral, there was a funeral banquet, but Li also casually found an excuse and sneaked out.

It's not that Li doesn't want to participate this time, after all, they are all here, but Li is really in trouble.

But Li Ye had just walked out of the auditorium, but he was surprised to find that Ye Mengying was already standing outside.

"Dream Shadow, why did you come out too?"

"Oh! I want to go and sweep the tomb of Huangfu Jing, but the cemetery of Huang Fujing is far away, so I will not attend the funeral banquet. Ye Mengying said in a low tone.

"Eh, what about you, the team leader!" Ye Mengying asked equally strangely.

"Just like you!" Li replied lightly.

A cold stone tablet bears a picture of Huang Fujing and his name is engraved on it.

Li Ye and Ye Mengying stood in front of the tombstone, watching silently.

Huang Fujing, like Guan Shan and others, all died because of the case of the alien medicine, but unlike the grand funeral of Guan Shan and others, Huang Fujing died in such obscurity, as if such a person had never existed in this world.

What's even more impressive is that Huang Fujing's family members all died early, if it weren't for Li Ye and Ye Mengying, the two people who had crossed paths with him, each for different reasons, they thought it was necessary for them to visit him.

Otherwise, no one knows about the contributions made by Huangfu Jing during his lifetime, and there may not even be a person who sweeps his tomb.

The bleak wind whispered lonely, a thunderclap, and the sky shed tears of sorrow.

In the pouring rain, Li Ye and Ye Mengying took a deep look at Huang Fujing's tombstone.
