In March, the temperature in Yunling has risen a little, but you still have to go out in a coat and a cotton jacket, and it looks like it is still far from spring.

Zhou Wei finally started to go to work in the company, the day he went was Monday, and he wore a dark tweed coat, except that his face was a little darker, and he looked the same as before.

Soon, the news spread all over the company, and there were people talking about it after dinner.

"Hey, the boss is coming to work today. ”

"yes, I just saw it in the hall downstairs. ”

"How?"

"How's that?"

"Do you see anything different?"

"Hmm... It seems to have lost a little weight. ”

"That's it?"

"Otherwise, do you have to peel off the skin?"

But when he heard that he had already arrived at the scene, he saw the ship explode in front of him. ”

"So what?"

"How? I'm going to collapse if I change it, and didn't the Internet say that his wife had a child in her belly at the time, this is a corpse with two lives, and all of a sudden his wife and children are gone, tsk... I feel so pathetic just thinking about it. ”

"What is the pitiful, there must be temporary sadness, but you see what conditions our boss has, he is handsome and rich, and when he finds a younger and more beautiful girl after a while, he will not remember the death of this for a long time. ”

"Yes, think about it, no man has a long affection, let alone a high-quality man like him!"

“…… Now it's not only high-quality, but he's still a golden bachelor, or let's make a bet that he will find a new love in three months!"

"Three months, that's too much. ”

"Huh, is it possible that you still want him to be widowed, and even if he doesn't look for it, a lot of will smell it and come up. ”

“……”

“……”

The same thing may be a catastrophe for you, but in the eyes of others, many other things will be derived, not to mention the identities of Zhou Wei and Chang An.

One is a young wealthy businessman, the other is the daughter of a former executive, and without delving into specific things, just looking at the identity can already compile a lot of stories, and then the audience will add all their emotions or imagination to these stories.

Throughout February and March, the news of the kidnapping of the wife and children of a wealthy businessman in a real estate company and tearing up tickets was very fierce on the Internet and the media, but the information is changing with each passing day, and the most important thing in this era is all kinds of gossip and news, so after a period of trouble, the audience's eyes are naturally attracted by other exciting things, leaving only some public opinion and speculation.

Of course, these public opinion content is more inclined to interesting compilations, but no matter how wonderful the compilation is, it will slowly be forgotten over time, and later people will probably only remember that Zhou Qian once had an ex-wife, who was unfortunately kidnapped and torn up in the best years, and was already pregnant with a child when he died.

If you have a little more, you will probably be regretted a few words, or that this woman is not blessed with a good life, and what is left of the rest?

The sun rises and sets, the earth turns in the same way, and the days still have to live.

For Zhou Wei, if it weren't for Xu Nan, who stayed on the island, to report on time every day, he would have almost delusionalized that nothing had happened.

……

At the end of March, news finally came from Xu Shilong's side: Li Xiaobing was arrested and brought to justice.

In fact, Zhou Wei knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, it was really Li Xiaobing who was too easy to find, because of drug addiction, this kind of person was like a beast temporarily trapped in a cave, hungry to a certain extent, he would always find a way to come out to forage for food, so the police only needed to set a bait and he would jump into the trap.

Zhou Wei learned from Xu Shilong that Li Xiaobing had never left Yunling in the past two months.

"Li Xiaobing's transcript was made by me, and he explained the whole thing, including how your wife was killed at the end, I know that you may not believe my words, so you better come and listen to it yourself. Xu Shilong said to Zhou Wei on the phone.

Zhou Wei did not respond directly, nor did he go to see Li Xiaobing.

Because the evidence in the case was sufficient and the suspect confessed, the investigation was quickly concluded by the public security.

In early April, the case was transferred to the procuratorate for approval.

Because this case was in the media, it was a sensation, and the social impact was extremely bad, so the procuratorate quickly made a decision to prosecute, and then filed a lawsuit with the people's court.

Yunling is already a little hot in June, with an average temperature of more than 28 degrees.

When Zhou Wei went out to the court in the morning, the sunlight was already very dazzling, and when he waited for the red light, he suddenly lost his mind.

I always feel that yesterday was still in the cold water, spring is so far away, why did it suddenly enter summer?

The kidnapping case was opened, and Zhou Wei sat in the auditorium as the victim's spouse, and Chang Jiahui, Zhou Xin, and Liu Shulan also appeared in court.

Wei Suying originally wanted to come, but Chang Wangde's condition was already very serious at that time, and he was bedridden most of the time, and Wei Suying didn't worry about leaving him alone at home.

After the judge announced the opening of the trial, the court police brought Li Xiaobing and Feng Xigui up, both of whom had shaved their hair very short, and they had already thinned into skinny bones, but the former kept his head down, like a cowering monkey, and the latter raised his face proudly, as if he didn't feel how terrible the situation he was going to face for a while.

The two are very different looks.

At the beginning of the trial, the judge asked questions.

Because they had all confessed to the Public Security Bureau before, and they had all recorded transcripts and confessions, the trial was actually just a process.

Poor Li Xiaobing was almost speechless, and could hardly answer "yes" or "no".

As for Feng Xigui, he may be a habitual offender, he already has experience, and he has a strong psychological quality, and he can explain the process completely in front of the judge.

‘… It was Jin Dafu who found me first, at that time I had just been released from prison, my old family was gone, I didn't have a child on my body, and I had no place to sleep at night, so he said that I was moved to make a lot of money...

"Chai Ji and Hook are also pulled into the gang by him, they are all drug friends, they are also short of money, very short, once this thing is stained, it is a bottomless pit. ”

"We planned in advance for a month, followed her for another month, and have been looking for opportunities to start, from the joint to the money, and how to get out in the end, we have conceived perfectly in every link, I have experience, and I know that rich people don't care about this bit of net worth, it's normal to buy life with money, but I never thought that they would call the police!"

“… Chivalry is chivalrous, our kidnappers also have the rules of kidnappers, their identities are exposed, and the main family also called the police, which doesn't know if she doesn't want her to live, so you can't blame us for being polite, of course, the idea of tying people to the boat was Jin Dafu's idea, and the idea of tying explosives was also from him, and the woman kept begging him, saying that she already had a child in her belly, and she would give her whatever she wanted, crying and screaming and kneeling, but who cares about her at that time, everyone is fighting for their lives, and they still expect people like us to have compassion?"

“…… But it's also very exciting for me to think about it in hindsight, if we can't get out in the end, it's okay to pull someone on the back, think about a corpse and two lives, or a rich wife, it seems that Lao Tzu is still a big official, it's worth it to have this kind of person to accompany the funeral, isn't it......"

Feng Xigui's arrogant voice echoed in the courtroom.

Chang Jiahui was already crying uncontrollably, crying and scolding the beast, and Liu Shulan was also wiping her tears beside her.

This kind of tragic thing, let alone happen to his relatives, even if it is just others, they will feel very sad, but Zhou Wei stared at that face the whole time, it should be a devil's face, but in fact, it is just a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth, which is very ordinary.

The trial did not last long, and because there was nothing to justify, the judge pronounced the verdict at about 10 o'clock, and Feng Xigui and Li Xiaobing were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.

After reading the verdict, Chang Jiahui was the first to jump out of her chair.

"Why not immediately, why do you need a suspended sentence?"

"Two lives, it's not fair to my sister......"

She cried in court and grabbed the ground, and was finally asked out by the "court police".

Everyone is also embarrassed, after all, the ending is too tragic, but the laws and regulations are there, the mastermind is Jin Dafu, and Li Xiaobing and Feng Xigui can only be regarded as accomplices.

Reporters who were blocking the door as they came out of the courthouse swarmed up.

Liu Shulan and Zhou Xin escorted Zhou Xin to squeeze out, and then Xiao Zhao and Xu Nan rushed up to open the way, and it was a noisy section of the road until the car door was closed, and Xiao Zhao immediately started the car and drove out of the court.

Waiting for the car to get on the road, Zhou Xin turned on the phone to Zhou Wei, and she was driving another car with Liu Shulan following behind.

"Brother, go back or find a place to eat together?"

Xu Nan was sitting in the co-pilot at the time, peeking at the people behind him through the rearview mirror, Zhou Wei closed his eyes, "I still have something to do." ”

Zhou Xin didn't ask much and hung up the phone.

Xu Nan raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to ......do next?"

"Go to the island. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhao also peeked at it incredulously, and finally looked at Xu Nan, but as a subordinate, he didn't dare to refute.

"Okay, I'll turn around in front of you. ”

After another more than an hour's drive, Xiao Zhao drove the car to the dock.

Xu Nan followed behind to board the boat with Zhou Wei, Zhou Wei glanced back, "You don't have to follow, let's go first." ”

"That Xiao Zhao..."

"Xiao Zhao doesn't have to stay here. ”

He got into the speedboat alone, stood in the bow of the boat, the wind and waves rose, and soon disappeared into the sea with the people and the boat.

Chiwei Island is an erosion island in the Tonghai Sea, what is an erosion island? It is an island formed by sea erosion, this kind of island is mostly close to the continental edge, the area is very small, so it is inconspicuous, and there is no development value, if you look down from the sky, it is a bit similar to a mound or hill emerging from the sea.

Zhou Wei stood alone on the island, with the abandoned lighthouse behind him, the bell ringing every hour, but the signal lights on the lighthouse never came on.

The sun was sinking overhead to the west, and the surface of the sea gradually seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of blood, until it fell into the sea.

Twilight began to close, and Zhou Wei's mobile phones were about to be blown up, Liu Shulan's, Zhou Xin's, and Chang Jiahui's, but he didn't answer any of them.

At that moment, he wished that he could be sad, sad, and even cry like Chang Jiahui, but strangely, none of these were there.

Zhou Wei felt as if he had been put into a plastic bag, seeing that the mouth of the bag was tightened a little bit, the only remaining bit of air was almost consumed, and the rest was waiting for the end.

After dark, the sea began to howl again, Zhou Wei took the boat back, and received a strange call on the way back, but unfortunately the signal on the island was too poor, and there was a long talk about it, and Zhou Wei only understood the general meaning.

The call was from Huijian's personnel department, which tactfully expressed that Chang An was no longer there, and that he had time to go to the company to get her personal belongings back.

At the door of a certain apartment in Yunling, He Ling had already knocked on the door for a long time.

"I know you're inside, open the door, open the door!"

"You are a bitch, you don't dare to face the facts, you think you can just hide? Let me tell you, the trial is over, the murderer has confessed in front of everyone, she is dead, she is blown up, when will you hide before you can come out to meet people?"

"Haodong, Chen Haodong, you're a fucking bastard!"

He Ling was hysterical outside, scolding, screaming and crying, and through a door, the room was darkly lit and the curtains were not opened, except for the computer screen.

Chen Haodong didn't go to the court today to observe, thinking that it would be better to watch the broadcast video at home, but it backfired.

He had already experienced this feeling many years ago.

At that time, Chang An was brought back by Chang Wangde's people, and was put on a plane to London overnight, and for a period of time he was no longer heard from.

also tried to beg Chang Wangde, swearing, promised, and even knelt in front of him, but there was still no way to contact Chang An.

At that time, he thought that he might never be so desperate in his life, but now?

Later, He Ling didn't know where to get the key, and when she opened the door and went in, it was already midnight.

There was a miasma of smoke in the room, and the smell of smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Chen Haodong sat curled up on the ground, his long legs bent, his arms resting on his head on his legs, and a cans of beer poured at his feet.

"Haodong..."

When had He Ling seen him like this, he wanted to cry when he opened his mouth.

She squatted next to Chen Haodong, and the man on the ground looked up at her.

He Ling held back his crying and said, "She has been gone for so many days, what else do you want?"

yes, what else does he want? He made the wrong decision in the first place, and now he has to bear the consequences of that mistake.

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days, maybe she got on another plane abroad, London, New York, New Zealand, whatever she wants, even if she never comes back, I will never see this person again, it's better than being like ...... now"

Chen Haodong muttered softly, leaning back on the sofa leg.

There was no light on in the room, and a faint amount of moonlight from the outside fell on his face.

He Ling saw that his eyes were closed, and his Adam's apple was tumbling up and down.

……

June passed quickly, and the case was settled.

The Internet has already turned a page about this matter.

Chang Jiahui went to Rongbang Mansion to block Zhou Wei several times, but never had the opportunity to see him, and then guarded the gate of the Changhe River twice, but still returned in vain, and later asked from Zhou Xin that he had been living in Jardine Apartment for the past two months.

Chang Jiahui got the number of Zhou Wei's unit building in Jardine Apartment, and waited for him in the lobby on the first floor after getting off work.

After waiting for more than three hours, I finally saw someone come in.

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhou Wei was still on the phone at the time, and he looked up when he heard the voice.

“… Contact me immediately if you have any news, like this first. ”

He hung up the phone, and Chang Jiahui immediately rushed over.

"I'm looking for you!"

Zhou Wei put away his phone, "Come on." ”

The two of them entered the elevator one after the other and went upstairs, this side is the design of one household and one ladder, so after going out, Zhou Wei opened the door directly.

Chang Jiahui poked in outside the door.

Because she has been living in Jardine for about a year, she is already familiar with the house type here, and the one that Zhou Wei lives in is obviously more spacious than the one that lent her to live, and it looks like it should be a large house.

After Zhou Wei entered, he casually threw away the suit.

"Sit down first, and take care of yourself!"

Chang Jiahui didn't mind, but when she saw him roll up his sleeves and enter the kitchen, boiling water as if he was going to cook something, she asked curiously, "You haven't eaten dinner yet?"

"No, the afternoon meeting just ended. When he was done, he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it!"

At that time, it was already past eight o'clock, and Chang Jiahui couldn't wait downstairs with hunger all the time, so he didn't say anything more and concentrated on cooking noodles.

Chang Jiahui stared at him at the door for a while, and saw that he was wearing a shirt and trousers, except that he was thinner than before, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

I guess I've recovered from my grief.

Chang Jiahui coughed, "Brother-in-law, when are you going to hold a funeral for my sister?"

Very bluntly, but very suddenly, Zhou Wei's hand stirring noodles in the pot stopped, but soon he replied: "Why do you want to hold a funeral?"

"My sister has been gone for so long, it's always necessary to hold a memorial service, right?"

"No, you don't. ”

“……”

The man didn't look back, still stirring the noodles in the pot.

Chang Jiahui was choked by him, "What do you mean, although you have not been married for a long time, and my sister has not licked a son and a half daughter for your Zhou family, but it is said on TV that a husband and wife are a hundred days, and my sister was not sorry for you when she was alive, shouldn't you give her a memorial service?"

Zhou Wei didn't squeak.

Chang Jiahui said again: "I discussed it with my mother, my dad also means this, there is no need for a grand funeral, but there must be a memorial service, at least let my sister be buried in peace!" Speaking of this, Chang Jiahui was a little unable to hold on, and took a snort to slow down, "If you are too busy with work, we are not reluctant, we don't need you to do it yourself, we can do it for her, but you need to attend as a spouse, is this okay?"

Zhou Wei's cheeks tightened, the noodles were already soft, and he wrapped his chopsticks around a little.

In the fog, Chang Jiahui heard him say: "I won't do a memorial service, and there will be no funeral, if you insist on getting it, I won't stop it, but I won't attend either." ”

"You..."

"Let's do this first, I'll go out in a while, and I won't leave you behind. Zhou Wei put down his chopsticks and turned to stare at Chang Jiahui.

Chang Jiahui's tears had already burst out of her eyes, and she couldn't imagine how there could be such a ruthless man.

I've been sitting as a couple for a few years.

"Count my sister on the wrong spot, bastard!" she ran out in a rage, raising her leg and kicking over a vase as she passed the living room.

Zhou Wei heard a bang, the batter was over, and water overflowed, he opened the lid of the pot and took the bowl, but his hand didn't hold it, the bowl slipped and shattered.

It couldn't be better.

Mess!

……

The next day, Chang Jiahui rushed into Zhou Wei's office without warning, and the secretary didn't stop her.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry..."

At that time, Zhou Wei was chatting with Deng Shunlin about things, looked up, and waved his hand to signal the secretary to go out.

Chang Jiahui still stood there menacingly.

Zhou Wei: "If you are still for the memorial service, I advise you..."

"No!" she interrupted, "I won't bother you about the memorial service, my family will do it for my sister, and I'm here to exchange your key!"

Chang Jiahui slammed the key to Jardine's small apartment on Zhou Wei's table.

"In the future, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road, and our Chang family will never have anything to do with your surname Zhou!"

She threw down this sentence and turned around to go out with her bag, scolding "bastard" in her mouth as she walked, until the person disappeared with the scolding, and Zhou Wei's stiff back leaned back.

Next to him, Deng Shunlin glanced at the key on the table.

"Why don't you make it clear to her?"

"Explain what?"

"Tell me why you don't hold a funeral!"

Zhou Wei closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand, "There's nothing to say, I can't ask everyone to be the same as me." ”

"How are you?" Deng Shunlin also frowned, "You are nothing more than self-deception, blindly living in fantasy and impossible hopes, I heard Xu Nan say that you are still hiring people to look for you, you ......"

"Alright, let's talk, where did we just go?"

A week later, Chang'an's memorial service was held at the funeral home, in fact, it can't be regarded as a memorial service, just a farewell party, no body, no ashes, only her photos and a few usual objects, and no news was revealed to the public, just a few people in the family, but the Zhou family also went, including Zhou Xin.

At the farewell meeting, Chang Jiahui cried uncontrollably.

Chang Wangde is also full of tears, only Wei Suying is stronger, but she has been wiping her tears.

Liu Shulan also cried fiercely, and shouted Chang An's name in her mouth.

Zhou Fushan was used to seeing the wind and waves, he didn't cry, he didn't shout, but everyone knew that the old man was actually very distressed after Chang An left, the nanny said that he had seen him sitting alone in the study several times to wipe the chess pieces, and the box of white jade chess was a birthday gift given to him by Chang An two years ago, and he was usually reluctant to take it out, and only when Chang An went to play chess with him, he would take it out.

Everyone has their own way of mourning, but Zhou Wei was absent the whole time.

After the memorial service, they went to the cemetery together, and the cemetery was chosen by Chang Jiahui for her, knowing that she didn't like to make trouble, so she found a quiet place.

The inscription on the tombstone is engraved in the name of Chang Jiahui, calling "sister", not Zhou Yan's "beloved wife".

The sun was about to set when he descended the mountain, and on the other side of the city, Zhou Xian had just come out of the detention center.

He finally went to see Li Xiaobing, and said face-to-face in the visiting room: "You give me another account of the situation when you sent her to the ship." ”

The small jade fished from the sea, the confessions of Li Xiaobing and Feng Xigui, confessed at trial, and until now he asked Li Xiaobing to repeat it face to face......

He forced himself to face reality again and again, but it didn't seem to work.

Zhou Wei sat in the car and smoked a cigarette.

Zhou Xin's WeChat came over: "The memorial service is over, and the monument has been erected, brother, she is really gone." ”
