Chapter 59: Designing a Funeral

Ambiguity in the office often takes a great risk. Murder in love, revenge, murder in passion...... Now the news reports account for more than half of the cheating and death. So, sometimes, there is a price to pay for cuckolding a person.

Or the Europeans of the Middle Ages had wisdom and duels!

Qu Changguo is an old reporter who is well-informed, and he naturally knows the benefits and disadvantages of this kind of thing. But he is a man, a pure man, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and has the nature of an animal. He, like most men, likes to eat from the bowl and look at the pot.

After the passion between the two, Qu Changguo was a little depressed, just like the guilt of a minor after comforting himself. He tied his pants and looked closely at the edges and corners of his clothes, worried about leaving Ruan Yiyi's lipstick, hair, or scent.

Ruan Yiyi also straightened her hair on the side, and opened the mirror above the co-pilot to touch up her makeup: "Damn, my mother's lipstick and foundation are very expensive!"

Qu Changguo looked at her and didn't speak, he was still immersed in tired pleasure and didn't bother to take care of her. Who wants to throw away the meat that comes to their mouths? Even if they are full today, they will be hungry tomorrow!

The pit is just digging deeper and deeper, what if it really gets too big to be retracted? Duel is impossible, it is a barbarian game, I am afraid that the only way to push one of them into the pit is to use it as a backstop.

The editor-in-chief office of the Bac Giang Evening News is really interesting. A person overturned the river and the sea because of a woman. A man is upset because of a man.

Yu Chongming was worried that Xiangbei would seek revenge on him, and he had become cautious in the past few days. Every time I get home, I always check the window and door locks at home several times. On the way to work, I look back from time to time, worrying that someone will kick me in the back or stab me. Even in the unit, the sunny smile of the cleaning aunt who cleaned the urine pool seemed to him to be no longer pure.

There are a few pieces of fine jade, red silk inkstones, cypress wood carvings, and more than ten years of raw pu'er. That was all done by Yu Chongming through various methods. If asked about the market price, Yu Chongming would squint and shake his head, how can a work of art be measured in money? Of course, it is a priceless treasure.

Appreciating and playing with these priceless treasures every night is a good habit that Yu Chongming has developed over the years, just like others fitness and running, which can be enjoyable for the body and mind.

But that can't be the case anymore. Low-key, must be low-key. He went home, quietly put the treasures away from the shelves, and stuffed them under the bed.

"You hide under the bed for a while, and when the limelight is over, I will ask you to come out. ”

People who don't know still think that Yu Chongming participated in some secret revolutionary cause.

Of course, he also felt that he had been wronged. Obviously, it was the decision of the newspaper and Zhao Qingdong, but he was asked to poke this hornet's nest. Damn, I've become a backstabber. Yu Chongming wanted to scold people, how to find a suitable concept to scold Zhao Qingdong without framing himself in? This is not a difficult task for him.

The higher the seat, the more shameless it is!

However, Yu Chongming was too worried. Wolf nature is cultivated little by little. After all, Xiangbei has never killed anyone or been in prison. He is an honest man, and he can't do such a thing as a dog jumping off a wall in a hurry. Leaving that note was nothing more than two purposes, one was to show that he couldn't help himself, so that Luo Yuchen could stop working hard, so that he could take a breath, and the other was to deter the birdmen in the newspaper and let them experience a life of fear.

Going north all the way to the south, hiding in Tibet, he realized that this was not the way to go. He wanted to leave. However, the unexpected death of his son made him change his mind, and he had to attend his son's funeral and accompany him on his last journey.

Thinking about it like this, Xiang Bei's heart became calm, and the original feeling of fear was suddenly relieved. He put his packed bags back where they were, the few clothes he had while he was in the hospital, the only thing he had now.

Don't go! Just stay here! The police can come if they want! The door of my house is always open, and my arms are open waiting for you......

Xiang Bei lay on the bed on his back, took out his mobile phone to call Zhou Xuecen, and it was Zhang Ke who answered the phone.

"Hey, Zhang Ke, how is Xuecen?"

"She didn't sleep last night, and she couldn't stay up until morning, so she fell asleep. ”

Hearing these words, Xiang Bei felt sad again. If this continues, Zhou Xuecen will have to fall ill if he doesn't go crazy.

"Thank you. Have the newspapers and the police looked for her in the past few days?"

"The newspaper has not contacted us. The police came, asked about the situation, and left. But I don't think they left. I saw that there was a car parked downstairs all the time, and I didn't know if it was the police. Zhang Ke said, now go to the balcony and look down.

It seems that the police are waiting for the rabbit. However, they are afraid that they will be tossed in vain.

"What are you going to do with Nuoyi's future?"

"What should I do?" Hearing this question, Zhang Ke's attitude took a sharp turn, "Xiangbei, I know your current situation, but even if you are framed, you must believe that the law will return you to a clean slate." There is such a big thing at home, and you are a big man who doesn't stand up and support it, but hides, what do you say?"

Zhang Ke sat up from the sofa, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. She feels so sorry for Zhou Xuecen, the torment and trauma that Zhou Xuecen has suffered these days may not be able to heal in a lifetime. At this time, she needs her man to come out to care, love, and shelter her from the wind and rain.

Zhang Ke's mood change surprised Xiangbei. He originally thought that everyone was just good friends, and they were polite and polite when they met and chatted, but today Zhang Ke spoke like a mother reprimanding her son. After hearing this, Xiang Bei did not have a trace of disgust and anger, but accepted it gladly. He didn't explain anything, and in front of his family, he only felt guilty.

"Zhang Ke, I didn't expect you to talk to me like this...... Don't get me wrong, I want to say thank you, thank you for bringing me to my senses. I would like to know how the funeral of Noyi was decided, the time and place...... I'm going to see him one last time. ”

"The funeral is scheduled for this Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Hedong City Funeral Home. Zhang Ke said, "That's right...... I've also informed you and Xuezen's parents. Although the old man was old and in poor health, we thought about it for a while and felt that we should inform them. ”

"You're doing the right thing. Xiangbei thought to himself, the son whose parents were once proud has now reached such a point, if he sees them that day, how should he face it?

There are many places in China where children are usually cremated directly after they die, and no funerals are held, because this kind of white-haired people sending black-haired people often leads to excessive grief and unnecessary troubles for the child's parents. In addition, China's traditional funeral culture focuses on the end of life, and for young children, they should be buried and buried as soon as possible after death.

However, this is not entirely the case, and how to arrange the aftermath varies from person to person. There are also many parents who feel that they should hold a decent funeral for their deceased child to express their feelings of missing him. Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen thought so.

There are still two days to go, and some preparations have to be made to the north. What should I prepare? Xiang Bei thought about it and listed it on a piece of paper.

After resting for a while, Xiangbei called Qu Changguo again, and he wanted to know the latest progress on the case.

"To the north, it's you?!" The call from the north surprised Qu Changguo.

"Yes, Mr. Qu. ”

"Where are you now?" Qu Changguo asked directly.

"This ...... I'm not in a position to say yet. ”

"Why, don't you feel at ease with me? How have you been for the past two days? I haven't been able to contact you, and I heard that the police are looking for you everywhere. Qu Changguo lowered his voice. In the unit, going north has become a sensitive word, and everyone is sending a team to express their position, eager to draw a line with him.

"I'm fine, Mr. Qu. Calling you won't make you embarrassed, will it?"

"Look at what you say. You don't know who I Qu Changguo is? We are brothers, what are you afraid of?"

This point is indeed clear to the north, as refreshing as ever. Otherwise, Xiangbei would not have called him.

"Is there any new situation in my case?"

"To the north, you're in big trouble this time. Do you know why the police went to such lengths to find you?" Qu Changguo explained, "Originally, your matter was easy to handle. However, because it was spread on the Internet, and because the matter involved the Beijiang Evening News, the city naturally attached great importance to it, and I heard that the top authorities slapped the board at an internal meeting and scolded the responsible persons of the propaganda department and the public security department, demanding that they perform their duties, solve the case as soon as possible, and eliminate the negative impact of public opinion. Based on this, in order to show a gesture of achievement, the newspaper took the initiative to report the case to the public security organs. ”

Qu Changguo explained the reason why the police arrested him, which made Xiangbei's context of this matter much clearer. No wonder Luo Yuchen spared no effort to find himself, it turned out that there were so many insiders. Well, what should I do? At this point, it's hard to do anything.

"It seems that Yu Chongming was ready when he went to the hospital to have a showdown with me last time. Xiangbei said, "I'll turn myself in after I'm done with the matter at hand." When the time comes, I'll tell you everything. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Qu Changguo.

"A lot of the content of the report letter has nothing to do with me. ”

"So what? Zhao Qingdong will put all the blame on you. ”

Speechless to the north. If that's the case, there's really nothing you can do. The arms cannot resist the thighs, which is a universal law after human beings enter the civilized society.

"To the north, I also want to apologize to you......" Qu Changguo hesitated for a few seconds, "I was also there when the leaders of the newspaper held a meeting to discuss countermeasures. The president, Yu Chongming, asked everyone to express their position, I have no objection to handing over your case to the police to deal with this matter. Because even if I oppose it, it is useless, and most of the seven or eight middle-level leaders on the scene are supportive. But if I object, I may not have a place in the newspaper office. You must know that for a strong leader to 'work', we only have different positions, and the risks are the same!"

"But when they get to the police, can they clear up some things?" Xiangbei was ready to tear his face, but when he heard Qu Changguo say this, he was even more angry, "The content involved in the report letter, the police can go to investigate and see who is the problem in the end, take the corporate pollution incident the year before last, the report letter said that I used this investigation to promote newspapers to the other party." Who is behind this, and some people still don't know in their hearts? At that time, I was specially sent a year-end bonus, and I was kept in the dark, not knowing the origin of the money. Now I've figured it out, it's fucking hush money!"

"Brother, don't be rash, you end up hurting yourself...... Qu Changguo said, "Besides, do you say that there is real evidence for this?"

"I didn't expect this to happen at the time, so naturally I didn't think about leaving any evidence," Qu Changguo mentioned, and Xiang Bei was also worried, "but I believe that as long as the police investigate, they can always find it." ”

Xiangbei, you are an old reporter, and you have experienced so many reports, can't you think of this? Besides, even if you can find out the truth, when will you get it? Can you afford it? Therefore, the newspaper gave you two choices at that time, that is, I hope that you will take the initiative to take responsibility for the reputation of the newspaper, so that the damage to everyone can be minimized. ”

"You're not in my situation, you can't understand my feelings. However, I said that I would poke out the inside story, but it was just angry talk, and I still have this bit of sanity. Xiangbei didn't want to mention this matter again, he still needed time to sort it out and come up with a way to deal with it, "You also know the affairs of my family, Nuoyi's funeral will be held in the funeral home in a few days, there may be a lot of things that need to be managed, I originally planned to ask you for help, but depending on your current situation, forget it." ”

"Xiangbei, don't say that, although the unit is trying its best to dissociate itself from you now, the brotherhood between us is still there, and I will try my best to help with your affairs...... I've heard about Nuoyi, I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, you mourn and change. ”

"They owe another account!" said Xiang Bei viciously.

"Noyi's death has no causal relationship with this incident, it is just a coincidence. ”

"It's ridiculous to think about. Over the past few years, I have done so much for the newspaper that I don't even have time to go to the hospital when my child is sick. In the end, not only was he framed, but his children were also delayed. ”

Xiang Bei was so angry that he put all the blame on the newspaper. Qu Changguo felt that Xiangbei had lost his mind a little, and if he continued like this, he might really make something out of the ordinary.

"Speaking of Nuoyi's funeral, I thought of a way, I don't know if you would like to give it a try?"

"What's the solution?"

"If you really want to tell the truth, on the day of the funeral, I fooled a few newspaper leaders. If they don't go, I can at least bring some of my fellow journalists. When the time comes, you will be on the spot to tell your experience and tell the truth about the content of the report letter. Maybe...... This can have an unexpected effect. ”

Qu Changguo's method surprised Xiang Bei. Qu Changguo, you really have a bad idea and make a fuss about my son's funeral. The farce in the hospital has already made me feel guilty, if there is another drama at Nuoyi's funeral, how will he face his son in the future when he goes to another world?

"No, I want Nuo Yi to leave quietly, I won't use my son's funeral to do such a thing, I'm sorry enough for him!"

"To the north, if you still believe me, listen to me once. Maybe this is the only chance to turn the tables for yourself and put them on the back foot. ”

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Do you think it's possible for you to confront them face to face? Qu Changguo persuaded him.

"Let me think about it......" Xiang Bei couldn't figure it out, why did Qu Changguo's attitude take a 360-degree turn, was it really for brotherhood?
