The procedure for recognizing the body for the second time was not complicated, and they handed in their documents for registration, and within ten minutes a staff member rushed over to handle it.

When he saw Gu Nian's body again, He Guaner endured it again and again, but he still shed tears.

This is not the first time she has faced the loss of a loved one. The last time was her father, who died in the prime of life, lying alone on the cold dissecting table, with two bullet holes on his body that could not see the bottom, and black and red blood stains around him.

He Wan'er will always remember that scene, and will always remember the feeling when she walked into the college entrance examination room ten days later, while holding back her tears and doing questions.

It was the most painful and lengthest test she had ever experienced, and she didn't expect to say goodbye to Gu Nian again decades later.

Suddenly, I remembered Toshiyuki, who was killed inexplicably.

She was not at school at the time of the crime, and she also learned from others about the horror of the scene at the time of the crime.

Toshiyuki's body was found by a couple, on the top of the so-called Lover's Slope behind the school. The hundred-year-old laurel tree has abundant branches and leaves, and on the thick main branch, a female corpse without a head hangs.

After investigation, identification and DNA testing, it was finally determined that Chen Minzhi, who had been missing for two days, was killed.

It's been seven years, and her head has not been found until now, let alone the murderer.

There was not a drop of blood at the scene, and there were no signs of struggle or fighting, so it was certain that it was not the scene of the first crime.

After an autopsy, the medical examiners even determined that Toshiyuki had all the blood from his body removed before his head was cut off.

Regarding Toshiyuki's case back then, it was also rumored to be unrecognizable.

Some people even speculate that there was a perverted murderer who committed a heinous crime in order to provoke the police, so he committed this extremely cruel case near the Public Security University.

Counting up, Toshiyuki has been lying in the local funeral home of the school for seven years. Seven years have passed, and she still can't settle down.

And now, Gu Nian was lying in the gray-white body bag, revealing his head, neck and shoulders, his eyes were closed, and his complexion was blue.

He Wan'er was very worried that Aunt Gu couldn't stand it, but unexpectedly, Aunt Gu didn't cry, just sobbed in a low voice and was extremely sad.

Gu Nian has always said that her parents in her hometown are a pair of gourds with sawed mouths, her father teaches in a township primary school, and her mother has no education, both of them have soft temperaments, and they are bullied everywhere in their hometown.

It was easy to bear the burden and be positive to develop Gu Nian's kind of unyielding and flamboyant character, and later she made a fortune and bought a house and shop for her parents in the county, which also made her parents raise their eyebrows for a while.

But even if it is not the most promising daughter in the family who has passed away, such a picture of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is extremely sad.

Coming out of the morgue, He Guaner sat with his aunt for a while, and then the police came up to ask the family about their willingness to perform the autopsy.

"Dissection?" Aunt Gu was a little surprised, and her tears couldn't help but fall, "The children are gone, and they have to be cut by a thousand knives?"

"It's not a thousand cuts, aunt," He Wan'er hurriedly explained, "The preliminary autopsy shows that Nian Nian was drowned, but if there is anything else hidden, it can only be found out by autopsy." ”

When she said this, she choked up: "Whether it's an accident or a murder, I don't believe that Nian will jump into the river by himself." ”

The police also said: "The family members should consider whether to sign or not, but if the results of our investigation show that the deceased is suspected of homicide, it does not necessarily require the consent of the family." ”

He Wan'er persuaded for a while, and Aunt Gu finally bit her lip and sighed: "Then listen to you, I know that you and Niannian are the best, and they won't harm her." ”

The police brought the consent form, and Aunt Gu picked up the paper and read it carefully, her fingertips trembled, and her lips turned blue.

Before she could pick up the pen and sign, she clutched her heart and was about to collapse.

He Guaner sent her to the hospital, and the result of the examination was angina. He Wan'er took care of her for half the night, and when it was almost dawn, he waited for Gu Nian's brother and sister-in-law.

Gu Nian's elder brother is called Gu Pan, the eldest grandson of the Gu family, so there is such a name of the stars holding the moon. As for Gu Pan's wife, she should be thirty-four or five years old, but she is in her forties, short and slightly fat, and He Guaner hurriedly took a look at him, and then went into the ward to take care of the old mother.

Gu Nian's sister-in-law went into the ward, leaving Gu Pan at the door, and said politely to He Wan'er: "I'm sorry, I'm really bothering you." ”

After many years on the coast, his accent has long been unable to hear traces of Gyeongju.

He Wan'er didn't expect them to come so soon.

Gu Nian has never had any praise for her brother. Speaking of her brother, Gu Nian usually summed it up in four words - the six relatives are indifferent.

The treatment of the eldest grandson in the countryside made Gu Pan develop the mentality that everything is taken for granted, but he didn't grow up much when he was old, and the family scraped together to provide for him to go to three universities, and also settled down on the coast, but he ignored his parents and sisters in his hometown.

Gu Nian has been really hard in those years, and he has never thought of helping his brother, and he has not even made a phone call for the first time of the year, and he is afraid that he will be contaminated by the poor relatives in his hometown, and it is rare to go home during the New Year's holidays.

Later, Gu Nian made money, and Gu Pan, who had rarely been in contact, suddenly changed as if he were a person, calling at every turn to ask for warmth, and often sending her some coastal specialties.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief - Gu Nian knew at that time that her brother must have something to do.

Sure enough, during the Spring Festival that year, Gu Nian easily took the time to go back to his hometown, and Gu Pan, who hadn't been back for several years, also chased back.

Then, on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Pan borrowed the strength of wine and wanted Gu Nian, who was his sister, to take money and repay the loan for his house.

Gu Nian said at the time that it was okay, and when the year was almost over, he told Gu Pan that it was okay to help repay the loan, but the house had to be added to the names of his parents.

This is not too much to ask, after all, the loan of 1.5 million, and with the virtue of expectation, if you lend him money, don't plan to come back.

said that there were more than 100,000 yuan in the down payment that year, which was to take care of the savings of his parents' hard life, and he was taken away by his son, and there was no IOU.

However, how could a person who wanted to be windy and rainy at home agree? So there was a big fuss at that time, and we broke up unhappily.

After that, Gu Pan seemed to be going home every Spring Festival, and he was no longer in the state of ignoring his parents before, and he also inquired about Gu Nian's current situation.

is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and knows that he can't get a bargain in the hands of his own very assertive girl, so he saves the country.

He Wan'er was still stunned, and Gu Pan said again: "We're here, Xiao He, you better go back and rest." ”

Gu Nian's sister-in-law also came out, and came to see He Guan'er away with a thousand thanks, so that she could work with peace of mind, Gu Nian and Aunt Gu's affairs were taken care of by the two of them, and nothing could go wrong.

The autopsy consent form had not yet been signed by Aunt Gu, and He Guaner was a little uneasy, but he had no choice but to leave.

In the three days since learning of Gu Nian's death, He Wan'er almost came to recall the bits and pieces between her and Gu Nian.

Ten years have passed, some things are still vivid, and some memories have been blurred, but there is no doubt that in addition to Minzhi, Gu Nian is another friend worth making in her life in less than 30 years.

Memories inevitably make people cry, He Wan'er wanted to cry several times, crying until the sky was dark and didn't care about anything, but reason told her that now was not the time to cry with confidence.

Gu Nian would not commit suicide, she firmly believed this, so He Wan'er had been waiting for Gu Nian's autopsy report with a hanging heart.

She doesn't have to worry about the affairs of her family for the time being, but when such a big event happens, He Wan'er can no longer work without distractions.

Fortunately, Xiao Lei helped her with the work in the newspaper, and she only had to review the key manuscripts.

Nie Yun didn't know where she heard the wind, but when she met her in the pantry, she said two words softly in the moment of passing by.

"Condolences. ”

These two words made He Guaner feel that the world was not so unbearable.

I thought that I would survive this torturous few days and wait until Gu Nian's autopsy report came out to talk about the next step, but I didn't expect that three days later, in the evening, He Guaner received a call from Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng told her that Gu Nian's family did not agree to the autopsy.

"How come?" He Wan'er was surprised, "The day before yesterday, I said well, my aunt agreed to the autopsy, but she hasn't signed it yet." ”

In fact, they just repented and said that they wanted Gu Nian to be buried in peace. On the other end of the phone, it was Lin Feng's somewhat helpless voice.

"How can it be safe to enter the earth?" He Wan'er laughed instead of being angry, "The cause of death has not been determined, so you can be buried in the ground?"

"But preliminary tests showed that she had indeed drowned. In addition, at present, a colleague has checked the monitoring records," Lin Feng hesitated for a few seconds, and continued, "Gu Nian jumped off the No. 3 bridge of the Quling River at two o'clock in the morning five days ago, and it was very clear in the monitoring. ”

He Wan'er listened to Lin Feng's narration with bated breath, and his mind was in chaos.

She shook her somewhat drowsy head, "Are you sure?"

"I am sure that Gu Nian was dressed the same as when he was found, and the location where the body was found also coincided with the wind speed and water current. Also, someone called the police that night and saw someone jumping into the river, and the police did not see any traces of someone falling into the water during the on-site inspection, but Gu Nian was found two days later. ”

He Wan'er listened in a state of confusion - how could it be?

Lin Feng's voice on the other end of the phone paused, obviously a little hesitant, and he said after a while: "In addition, he had a quarrel with someone before he died, and a person got out of the car in the suburbs late at night. After that, you know. ”

He Wan'er was stunned, and suddenly remembered the name Mo Shuyi. However, now is not the time to entangle the entanglement between Gu Nian and Mo Shuyi.

She bit her lip and asked, "Anything else?"

Lin Feng sighed and continued: "You may not know that the boss of Pancheng Jubao also ran away the day before yesterday, and the reason is also related to the P2P explosion, and our brigade has already intervened in the investigation. However, in a day or two, we have found out that Gu Nian's account has 20 million from unknown sources, and there are many companies under Gu Nian's name, which are inextricably linked with Pancheng Jubao. If Gu Nian hadn't committed suicide, she might have been detained and interrogated by us at this time. ”

He Wan'er's mind was buzzing, and he didn't know what to say.

She could only instinctively argue: "No, Nian Nian will not do illegal things, I know her very well." Besides, she also asked me to help her inquire about the Pancheng Treasure, unlike the previous contact with this side. ”

"But can you guarantee that she won't lie to you?" Lin Feng said, his voice a little dry, "Xiao He, there is a word called wanting to cover Mizhang, and there is another word, called drunken gold fans." In this world of temptation, you can't guarantee that everyone will be as clean as you think. ”
