When the news of Ni Xiuyun's death came, Liang Jian was about to return to Taihe Hotel after work.

The call was made to him by the police using Ni Xiuyun's mobile phone. Because on Ni Xiuyun's mobile phone, the last person to contact before his death was Liang Jian.

The police said a lot, but Liang Jian didn't hear it, and in his mind, all he could think of was what she said when she was separated from Ni Xiuyun last night: It's good to know you in this life!

This sentence kept circling in Liang Jian's mind, over and over again...... It wasn't until Liang Jian rushed to Jinzhong and saw the police that this sentence sank in his mind.

Liang Jian went directly to the Jinzhong City Public Security Bureau, and Liang Jian was received by the director of the Public Security Bureau, Qian Jiangming. After Qian Jiangming saw Liang Jian, the first thing he asked was: "Secretary Liang, are you very familiar with the deceased Ni Xiuyun?" ”

Liang Jian glanced at him and replied, "When I arrived in Xiling Province on the first day, she was in charge of the reception, so there was some contact on weekdays, which was okay." ”

"Then may I ask, did the deceased Ni Xiuyun say anything when he contacted you yesterday?" Qian Jiangming asked again.

Liang Jian glanced at him, and his mood had calmed down a lot along the way. At this moment, Qian Jiangming's questioning can be said to be routine, but it can't be careless. Liang Jian replied: "I didn't say anything, I had something in Jinzhong City yesterday, she found out, contacted me, we had a tea together, we were separated at about ten o'clock, and there was no contact after that." How did she die? ”

Qian Jiangming looked at him for a while before replying: "It was preliminarily determined that it was suicide and swallowed an overdose of sleeping pills." Because she lived alone, no one found out. Today, her colleagues in her unit have not been able to contact her, and they were worried that something would happen to her, so they went to her home to find her, and only then did they find out. ”

Ni Xiuyun has the habit of taking sleeping pills, and Liang Jian knows some. But she doesn't eat it very often, either. Liang Jian frowned, always feeling that the ending of suicide made him a little difficult to accept.

Ni Xiuyun can be said to be his first friend after arriving in Taihe City. Unlike Lou Jiangyuan, they are ...... between them In short, in Liang Jian's heart, Ni Xiuyun has weight. A person who was still so fresh yesterday didn't expect it to become a situation of yin and yang, and he couldn't accept it.

Liang Jian was silent, and his mind kept replaying the scene of last night's meeting.

Suddenly, Qian Jiangming asked him: "You just said that you drank tea together last night, which means that you met." So, when you met, did you notice anything unusual about her? ”

Being reminded by Qian Jiangming like this, Liang Jian immediately thought of the bruises he saw on Ni Xiuyun yesterday, and said, "She has bruises and redness on her arms and face. ”

When Qian Jiangming heard this, he saw a strange look in his eyes, and he asked, "In addition to the arms and face, are there any other places with bruises, redness, and swelling?" ”

Liang Jian was so focused on Ni Xiuyun's matter that he didn't pay attention to the change in Qian Jiangming's expression for a while, and replied: "There seems to be a little bit in the neck, and other places ......" At this point, Liang Jian suddenly realized. He glanced at Qian Jiangming and asked angrily, "What does Director Qian mean by this?" ”

Qian Jiangming laughed twice and said, "Why is Secretary Liang so angry?" I'm just asking routinely, after all, it's related to the cause of Comrade Ni Xiuyun's death, and I can't be sloppy, right? ”

Qian Jiangming's words were so leaky that Liang Jian could only swallow it himself. After waiting for a while, Qian Jiangming said to Liang Jian again: "Secretary Liang, don't blame me for speaking directly, I can't help it." You are considerate and considerate. I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and Comrade Ni Xiuyun? ”

Liang Jian frowned, his expression sank, and he asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What I mean is very simple, that is, to ask, do you have an intimate relationship with Comrade Ni Xiuyun?" When Qian Jiangming spoke, there was a polite smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liang Jian clenched his fists, wanting to punch him in that annoying face, but he finally held back. He understood that this punch would not be good for Ni Xiuyun, but would make this matter more complicated.

"We're just friends." Liang Jian held back his anger and replied as calmly as possible.

After Qian Jiangming heard this, he smiled slightly, reached out and opened the folder in front of him, took out a photo from it, and put it in front of Liang Jian: "Look at this photo, are you and Comrade Ni Xiuyun?" ”

Liang Jian was slightly stunned, and when he looked at the photo, he and Ni Xiuyun were at the door of the room, hugging each other gently. It was at the door of the box last night that he hugged Ni Xiuyun.

Qian Jiangming said: "This is a photo taken by the surveillance. ”

Liang Jian didn't know if it was really taken by surveillance or someone on purpose. Just from Qian Jiangming's behavior of taking out this photo, Liang Jian can judge that this Director Qian came prepared and had a ghost in his heart. As for what he asked him before, it was just a temptation and a foreshadowing.

The so-called extreme must be opposed. Liang Jian was furious, but calmed down. He looked up at Qian Jiangming, smiled coldly, and said, "Since Director Qian can find this photo, he should also know what kind of place it is." Between our friends, it doesn't seem to be a crime to say goodbye, right? ”

Qian Jiangming looked at him, the flesh under his eyes twitched slightly, and then smiled: "Of course you don't break the law." However, I still have to remind Secretary Liang that we, as government officials, still have to pay attention to our public image, and in the future, we still have to find a more hidden place for this kind of hugging with female comrades. ”

Liang Jian ignored his ridicule and said with a cold face: "If Director Qian doesn't have anything else to ask, then I want to go and see Comrade Ni Xiuyun's body." ”

Qian Jiangming said: "Don't worry, I'll let someone take Secretary Liang to see it later, but now I still have some things I want to verify with Secretary Liang." With that, he flipped through the folder again.

After looking at it for a while, he looked up and asked Liang Jian: "You have been to Comrade Ni Xiuyun's house, right?" ”

As soon as Liang Jian heard this, he retorted: "There is a rule that says, can't I go to a friend's house?" ”

Qian Jiangming smiled and continued to ask, "That night, you didn't leave, did you?" ”

"My driver stayed there for one night, what's wrong, is there any problem?" Liang Jian asked coldly. He simply relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and looked at him coldly. He wanted to see what kind of moth this Qian Jiangming wanted to make.

Qian Jiangming said: "There's no problem, I'm just asking for verification." ”

Liang Jian sneered in his heart, the matter of him staying at Ni Xiuyun's house was a long time ago, this time Ni Xiuyun left, but they found out everything before, if you want to say that there is no purpose, you don't believe it if you kill Liang Jian.

The only thing Liang Jian hasn't figured out is what the purpose of this Qian Jiangming is hiding. Could it be that if you want to blame him for Ni Xiuyun's death, it seems unlikely. After he separated from Ni Xiuyun yesterday, he went to the hotel and returned to Taihe in the morning, and he never left the room in between. If they want to blame, in terms of time, there is a problem.

Moreover, Qian Jiangming himself said just now that Ni Xiuyun died of sleeping pills.

So, what does this Qian Jiangming want to do?

Liang Jian looked at him, waiting for him to 'show his original form'.

However, after this question, Qian Jiangming stopped asking. Instead, he closed the folder in his hand, stood up, and said to Liang Jian: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Comrade Ni Xiuyun for the last time." ”

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, followed him to stand up, and walked out.

When the staff lifted the white sheet, Ni Xiuyun did not change much except that her face was paler than when they met last night. She closed her eyes and looked very peaceful, as if she was asleep.

Liang Jian stared at her eyes carefully for a long time, hoping that she would open up, hoping that it was just a joke. But she didn't. He had to come to terms with this fact. When I looked up, I saw that the red and swollen piece on my forehead that I saw yesterday had now turned blue-purple.

Further down, there is also a large piece in the neck that extends all the way to the collarbone.

Liang Jian suddenly raised his head and asked the staff next to him: "Do you know how you got these?" He pointed to the two bruises.

The staff took one look and replied, "It must have been caused by the impact." ”

Liang Jian asked again: "Is there anything else like this on her?" ”

The staff looked up at Qian Jiangming, who came with him, and then replied, "I don't know, I'm sorry." ”

Liang Jian knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he shut up.

"Do you want us to go out and give you a little bit of some space?" Suddenly, Qian Jiangming asked.

Liang Jian refused.

He stood and watched for a moment, then turned around and walked out.

Walking outside, he stopped and asked Qian Jiangming: "Did she leave a last word or something?" ”

Qian Jiangming looked at him, his face lost the hypocritical smile he had before, and he suddenly asked him very seriously: "Let me ask again, are you and Comrade Ni Xiuyun really just friends?" ”

Liang Jian replied with the same seriousness: "It's really just a friendship." ”

Qian Jiangming looked at him, as if he was studying the truth of his words. After a while, I don't know what answer he came up with, but I heard him speak: "She left a will, and a letter." In the will, her property was distributed, and the letter was for you. But we've taken it apart and looked at it, and I hope you understand that. ”

Although Liang Jian didn't want to understand it in his heart, he could only accept it. When Qian Jiangming showed him a copy of the will and letter, he was shocked.

Ni Xiuyun left half of her property to him, and donated the remaining half to an orphanage in Beijing. As for the letter, there are only a few short sentences in it:

Liang Jian, in this life, it may be my greatest blessing to meet you. My life has long been unable to go on, and I can barely survive to this day, which can be regarded as God's favor for me. In this world, apart from you, there is only the green calyx, which is what I care about. If you have the ability in the future, please help me take care of her, thank you! Finally, see you soon!

Liang Jian stood there, tears rolling in his eyes. He turned his head, raised his hand to wipe it from the corner of his eye, and then turned his head and asked Qian Jiangming: "Can I keep this copy?" ”

Qian Jiangming nodded.

Liang Jian folded the letter and put it in his pocket, and then asked Qian Jiangming, "Can I go to her house to have a look?" ”

Qian Jiangming hesitated for a moment, turned his head and called another colleague over, and asked, "How is the evidence collected in the deceased's family?" ”

The colleague replied: "It's almost over, Group A has come back, and Group B has finished over there, about ten minutes, and has also returned." ”

Qian Jiangming nodded. After his colleague left, he said to Liang Jian: "When it is over, you can go over and have a look, but don't stay too long." ”

Liang Jian nodded.

"When the time comes, I'll send someone to accompany you." Qian Jiangming said.
