I picked up the key from the coffee table in the living room and left the house. It's about a five-minute walk to the bus stop, and four stops to my flower shop.

"I've known you for so long, and you're still late for the first time."

I quickly took out the key and unlocked the door of the flower shop.

"I've slept a little today."

Pushing open the door, Brother Zhang's subordinate Brother Wei moved four large cardboard boxes to the house.

"Thank you."

After I handed over the money to Brother Zhang, the two of them left the flower shop.

Look at the four large cardboard boxes on the floor, tie up my blue floral apron, grab the scissors and get to work.

Open the first carton box, half a box of lilies, mom's favorite.

Mom said that lilies witnessed the love between her and her father, and it was also the flowers that her father had given her for a long time, and her mother didn't like it at first, but then Dad sent it again and again, and the love between them was more beautiful than lilies, and she fell in love with lilies, and even her mother had a pot of lilies in her office.

There was a crisp wooden wind chime at the door, it was Niemann, my good friend.

"Why, it's not too late."

Niemann pulled out a grass-green floral apron from a drawer.

"What's wrong?"

Nieman walked up to Tianhan.

"I didn't think I would come today! No, I need it so much, I cry when I think about it, no! No, don't worry! I won't leave you, don't worry! ”

Niemann patted me on the shoulder, and this gesture warmed my heart.

Nieman is two years younger than me, we are alumni of the university, she is two years younger than me, I went back to see the teacher during my senior year internship and met her.

We both love to travel, literature, swimming, and we have a lot to talk about, so we became good friends.

But she was more free than I could.

Niemann would come to the store to help when he was resting, and sometimes I would ask her to help with the store, and I would pay her on time.

Although Niemann didn't want to, I still chose to pay her salary, after all, I am not Yang Bailao.

"Next week, I have a show, you can go and see it!"

Niemann, who is 172, has a great figure, so modeling has become her second career.

Nieman looked at his grass-green floral apron, Tianhan can't have a sense of fashion, what kind of style is this, hey, forget it, I've known her for three or four years, her aesthetics have always been like this, and the fashion cell doesn't exist at all, endure it.

"When the time comes, tell me in advance, so that I don't have to forget it."

"Okay, no problem."

I really don't know how you've been running this flower shop for so long.

"After a while, our company is going to launch new products, and I will be busy, so you here, I can't come often."

"Just come when you have a break."

With Nieman's personality, I really don't know how long she'll be in the work.

"Hey, I've worked hard for a few days, and I've finally rested, and I still have to come to you to do a part-time job, it's over, you still don't give money, there are people like you! And I also work part-time as a model, two part-time jobs! It is said that for the sake of a friend, you can't let me be crushed! Yang Bailao didn't do that. ”

I really admire Niemann's mouth, she is really blind in learning literature, she should learn language.

"Even if it's for your friends, you have to come leisurely, you can't deduct me like this! You said that for so many years, I have been in the soup for you for so long, and you are still exploiting me so much, I have a job, not to mention whether it is hard or not, you must at least let me have a time to sleep and have a good rest. ”

"Sleep perfectly and come back."

"You don't want to be so cold-blooded."

Niemann straightened up and looked at Tianhan, who was working with his head down.

"Say as you work."

"Me!"

Niemann threw down the scissors.

"I'm not doing it."

Niemann walked over to his desk, picked up the apple, and ate it.

"I'll ask you, hurry up and find a boyfriend, don't think about your flower shop all day!"

"Do you have one?"

"Please, I'm younger than you."

"It's only two years younger, okay!"

Nieman sat in front of the computer and a message prompted.

"You have mail."

"It's an advertisement again!"

Niemann clicked in and looked at the clothes for the new autumn coat.

"It's a good place, but it's not for me."

Niemann looked at the previous email, an email from a travel website, an e-ticket confirmation.

"Are you going abroad?"

"Are you lazy?"

Niemann's words overshadowed my urging.

Airline tickets, I didn't buy a ticket recently.

"At about 10 o'clock in the morning on October 17, you and your aunt flew to the United Kingdom."

Niemann was very strange, if Tianhan left, he couldn't be unaware.

Niemann's words made me walk to the computer.

It turns out that Nieman logged in to his mother's QQ, and this email address belongs to his mother.

The scheduled time is September 5 of this month, and now it is the 27th, and there is still half a month.

I was kidnapped on the 10th, and my mother was killed two days later, on the 12th.

The time of the ticket is so tight, what happened to my mother to leave, and she didn't tell me.

"What are you doing in England?"

"I don't know."

Wait a minute, I remember that recently, my mother used to work overtime at night, and sometimes she would work overtime when she came home, could it be that there was something at work on my mother, was it related to the kidnapping case, and my mother's death was also because of this.

"Help me look down on the store, I'll go home."

I packed my backpack and left the flower shop.

"Oh."

Nieman hasn't reacted yet, Tianhan has already left the flower shop, do you want to be so fast.

"But."

As soon as he said two words, Tianhan was gone, and when he turned his head to look at the unfinished work, Niemann sat in front of the computer speechlessly, really didn't want to do it.

When I got home, I immediately ran to my mother's room on the second floor, and the most obvious thing on my mother's desk was the bottle of lilies.

I opened the middle door of the wardrobe and pulled open the drawer that was across the middle, and in a cardboard box I didn't see my and my mother's passports.

I remember my mother had a business card holder for the record, and my mother had a habit of saving the phone into her phone and then putting the business card in the business card book at home.

I rummaged through the business card of this red coat, which could fit eight sheets per page, four lines, two sheets per line.

In the middle of the business card book, one is placed in the lower left corner, and the business card of an immigration company appears.

"Hello, Hengyang Immigration Company."

Answering the phone is a girl with a very sweet voice.

"Hello, my name is An Tianhan, my mother has handled immigration in your company before, I want to ask how the progress is."

Will it go the way I want?

"Ma'am, is your mother handling the immigration process with us?"

"And me, my mother and I are two people, my mother's name is Anyi."

My heart was racing.

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll check it out."

A few keyboard sounds.

"Hello ma'am, you and your mother are with us for immigration to the UK. It's still going on, and my colleague has followed up with you, because you have lived in the UK before, your immigration should come down soon, please wait a few more days. ”

"Excuse me, when did my mom submit it?"

"Wait a minute, I'll check, it's officially handled in our company on June 3."

"Okay, thanks."

"You're welcome, thanks for the call."

I hung up the phone, my mother had been going through the immigration procedures three months ago, and according to my mother's calculations, we would be on a plane next month.

I don't even know what made my mother choose to leave quietly.

Wait a minute, I remember my mom jokingly saying some time ago that if you had time to take me out for a walk or live elsewhere, and asked me how I was, I joked that as long as I was with my mom.

Recalling the tone and expression of my mother's speech at that time, it seems that my mother had a premonition of what happened today.

I flipped through the books and texts on the table, magazines, law books, case files, company papers, advertising paper, etc., where did my mother's work diary go, and I put the stack back in the corner of the table.

Pull open the first drawer on the right side of the table, Mom's work diary.

The notepad was only half the size of A4 paper, and my mother always carried it with her.

On June 1, at 2 p.m., I went back to the office for a meeting to sort out the materials.

On June 2, I went to the hospital at 9 o'clock in the morning and went back to the company at 1 o'clock in the afternoon for a meeting.

On June 3rd, the company had a morning meeting at nine o'clock in the morning, and the bank and hospital in the afternoon.

Mom's formation row on the 3rd was very full.

Wait a minute, why are there hospitals for two days in a row.

I immediately opened my previous work records, and before the end of last month, my mother's itinerary became more, hospitals, companies, conferences, and law firms.

On the 6th, the worker died, and most of the work schedule in May, such as press conferences, hospitals, family visits, companies, offices, etc., was full, what happened to the death of the worker?

I flipped it again, April 19, Yang Baoshan, mobile phone number, hospital name, room number.

"Hospital"

These two words have appeared many times since April 19.

Judging from the time when my mother was preparing to immigrate, it was just connected to this incident.

"Hey, Yeonna."

"Resurrected with full blood."

Yeona pulled the car aside.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going through the formalities for you! Eddie has something to do today, so I'm out, what's wrong? ”

"On April 19th, what happened to my mom at work?"

What the hell is going on with this Yang Baoshan.

If it weren't for someone important, my mom wouldn't have written the phone down on a notepad, could he be the worker.

"Wow! That was more than half a year ago! ”

was asked so suddenly by Tianhan, I really didn't expect it.

"Oh, in April, there was an accident on a project of Shengsheng Construction Company, it seems to be this time, but I can't remember the specific day."

"What's going on?"

"At that time, a worker was at the end of the office building project when he accidentally fell from the scaffolding on the third floor and was hit by a wall that suddenly collapsed. When the worker was taken to the hospital, he was unconscious. Twenty days later, the worker died due to the failure of multiple organs in his body. At that time, this incident was exposed on the same day. The news cloth said that it was the quality problem of the Shengsheng Construction Company's project, and a large number of reporters and buyers found the Shengsheng Construction Company to explain. Although Shengsheng Construction Company made an explanation in time, this incident still affected the progress of the project of Shengsheng Construction Company, and the capital turnover could not be opened, and the project was stopped for a while before it began. In the end, Shengsheng Construction Company claimed that there was no problem with the project, and spent a lot of money to publicize that there was no quality problem. But this incident still caused Shengsheng Construction Company to suffer a lot of losses. ”

"The worker fell from the scaffolding, and the wall can't suddenly collapse?"

This is the genius of Shengsheng Construction Company. They claimed that the worker died unexpectedly after suffering a head injury because he did not fasten his safety measures, and they heard that Shengsheng Construction Company gave the worker's family a large amount of settling-in money to seal his mouth. ”

After Yanna finished speaking, she sighed in her heart.

"What's that worker's name?"

"Yang Feng."

"Yang Feng?"

I looked at the name on my notebook.

"Yang Baoshan is his?"

"Oh, Yang Feng's father, I heard that this Yang Feng is Yang Baoshan's old son, and he only had this son in his 50s, and his two sons died in less than a few months. Later, I had this son, which was very expensive. Because he overdoted on this son, he was very ignorant, until Yang Baoshan suddenly suffered a cerebral congestion and could no longer make money to support his family, and from that time on, Yang Feng began to work everywhere to make money to support his family. A few years ago, I just married my daughter-in-law and gave birth to a daughter, and now I seem to be only 4 years old. ”

"My mother is responsible for this?"

It's hard for me to say anything more.

How does this family survive the sudden change?

"Yes, the formalities are all done in our firm, including no longer pursuing and signing Yang Feng's death appraisal."

Yanna still remembers the scene of the old man's signing, the old man led his 4-year-old granddaughter to the comfortable office, held the pen with a trembling hand and tears on the text, and signed the three words that he would only write in his life, Yang Baoshan.

At that moment, Yeonna's heart was bleeding, she never thought she would be so cruel.

"Yanna, send me the address of Yang Baoshan's house, I'm going to go."

"You suspect that your mother's death has something to do with it."

"Whether it's closed or not, I won't know until I go."

"Okay, I'll send you the address on your phone later."

"Thank you."

I hung up.

A ringtone on the phone, so quickly.

Message, "When are you coming to pick me up?" ”

, it's Jin Ranqi.

Oh, my God!

I actually forgot to pick him up at the airport, looked at the two missed calls on my phone, and just now I was talking to Yanna on the phone, and I didn't care about Jin Ranqi's call.

I came to the garage and drove to the airport.

But now it's noon, a small rush hour, and the car is stuck in traffic.

I immediately called Jin Ranqi, hoping that this guy would not be angry, I didn't mean to forget it, I really didn't think about him in the past few days.

Why didn't I answer the phone, an intersection, I waited for two traffic lights and didn't pass.

Jin Ranqi stood in the airport hall with a suitcase, bored looking at the advertisement.

I'm so hungry!

Jin Ranqi dragged his suitcase and backpack to a fast food restaurant, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and then looked at the people who were eating inside, the restaurant was full of people, there were many people in line, and there was no place to sit.

It doesn't look very delicious, why don't you bear with it a little longer, wait for An Tianhan to come.

An Tianhan threw herself here to starve, and she didn't believe that she would be ruthless and not take herself to a big meal.

Jin Ranqi dragged his body and reluctantly walked to the chair, holding his backpack and looking at his mobile phone, clockwork a message.

If you didn't answer the phone because of something just now, you should be fine when you see the message for a while.

I drove my car to the airport, and there was a police officer in front of me who wouldn't let me park.

It's okay to stop for a while, but this guy won't answer the phone, and I have to go in and find him.

Forget it, park at the place where the fee is charged, really, I have to pay the parking fee for the sake of Jin Ranqi's kid.

I endured it, and in order to find him quickly, I had to endure the discomfort in my heart.

He can go there, but there is no one at this gate, look at the sign Jin Ranqi's flight has arrived at the station, where did he go?

When I walked into the departure hall, he wouldn't be hiding there to rest, would he?

But how do I find it here?

Follow the rest area, look for it from place to place, there are enough rest areas in this airport, and I am already tired after looking for more than half of them.

At this time, I found that there were several tour groups around me, and the tour guide was issuing boarding passes to passengers, and it had been more than an hour since Jin Ranqi got off the plane.

I didn't come to pick it up, I won't wait in place, what a day of running around!

"Gone, gone."

The guide walks to the gate holding the iconic little red flag.

At this time, a familiar person appeared opposite me.

A few meters away from me, Jin Ranqi hugged his first birthday after going to work, and the black backpack I gave him slept with his body tilted.

But I really know how to find a place, I walked in front of Jin Ranqi, what a smart person, and put the suitcase in front of me with my feet between my feet.

"Hey, hey, hey, wake up!"

Do you want to sleep so soundly, push a few times and nothing happens.

Who is so annoying, Xiang who has just slept is woken up.

"Yes."

"Can you wake up? If you sleep like this again, you'll catch a cold, brother. ”

"Oh."

Jin Ranqi tried to open his eyes and sit up straight, so that he wanted to continue sleeping.

"Why did you come?"

Jin Ranqi's eyes were half-open and he looked up at An Tianhan.

"Traffic jam."

I grabbed my suitcase in one hand and dragged Jin Ranqi's clothes out in the other.

Before Jin Ranqi could react, he had already been taken out of the airport hall and stuffed into the car.

It's really distressing to look at the ticket for the parking fee.

Jin Ranqi sat in the co-pilot, still holding his backpack tightly and closing his eyes.

"Hungry?"

"What do you say?"

Jin Ranqi opened his eyes listlessly and looked at the scenery outside the window, the sun had set.

"You kept me at the airport for hours. What the airfield looks like, you don't know yet. ”

"There's a supermarket in front, so let's just eat instant noodles."

"Instant noodles?"

Jin Ranqi was a little suspicious of his ears.

Before she could react, An Tianhan turned the car around and drove in the other direction, what was she going to do.

"Hey."

Jin Ranqi picked up the mobile phone that An Tianhan had just put down, and when he saw something, he was about to change direction.

A message with an address written on it, sent by Yanna, should she be so ghostly!

After passing a road with only fields and two rows of shaded trees on both sides, turn into a bumpy dirt path.

Fortunately, it had rained before, otherwise there would have been a problem with my digestive system.

Before Jin Ranqi could figure out the purpose of coming here, An Tianhan had already stepped out of the car.

"May I ask, what are we doing here?"

"I can't."

I looked at the address that Yanna sent me, and the sign at the intersection just now should be this village.

A small supermarket directly ahead.

There is a road next to the small supermarket, one road on the left and right, three roads, that way!

"If you're hungry, go buy something to eat first!"

I pointed to the small supermarket in front of me.

"I've got something to do."

"What to eat, you said there is something, let's come with you."

I just got off the plane, and I wanted to have a good rest, but I was brought here by An Tianhan, how can I rest.

"Where are you going here?"

Jin Ranqi looked at the address on his phone, "Look at me!" ”

An uncle with a hoe and an iron bucket stood at the door of a large courtyard on the right-hand side, and Jin Ranqi hurriedly walked over.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I want to ask Group 115, where is Yang Baoshan's house?"

"What are you doing?"

Uncle was a little wary.

"We're journalists, and we want to find him for something."

"Journalists?"

Jin Ranqi's identity as a reporter was suspected by his uncle, looking at his hippie smiling face, he was so annoying, and he was not a good person at first glance.

"We don't have this person here, let's go."

After saying that, the uncle put the things in and closed the door.

"Wait a minute, uncle, we have something urgent to find him, please sue us."

Jin Ranqi pushed the iron door, a little strict.

"If you haven't said that, hurry up."

The uncle said very strictly.

"If you don't tell us that Yang Baoshan's house is there, I won't leave."

"Don't go, right?"

The uncle said angrily, I want you to be persistent.

"Rhubarb."

A large dog began barking in the yard.

"Don't go, let's not go."

Uncle walks towards Rhubarb.

"He's not going to let the dog bite us, is he?"

I'll look at Jin Ranqi.

"Like, like."

Uncle went to untie the chain of the big yellow dog.

"Run!"

Jin Ranqi pulled An Tianhan all the way to run wildly, oh my God, if this is bitten, it's a thing, this uncle is fine, is he really going to kill someone?

The big yellow dog barked all the way and followed behind, the car appeared, hurry up and get in the car, wait a minute, An Tianhan.

Jin Ranqi looked back, An Tianhan stood in place and looked at the opposite direction of the uncle's house, a field.

There was an old man leading a little girl out of the field.

Could this be it?

"Let's go!"

Jin Ranqi ran back to An Tianhan's side and looked at the vicious dog standing not far away with his teeth bared and making a low sound.

"He's not going to pounce!"

Jin Ranqi tried to challenge the vicious dog, but was frightened by the posture of the vicious dog about to rush over, and retreated.

"Let's go, if we don't go, I guess it will come over soon."

Jin Ranqi's speech, I turned around again, and the old man and the little girl just now were gone.

"Let's go!"

It seems that there is nothing to be gained today, so let's have a chance to come again!

I drove Jin Ranqi out of the village.

"I'll come again when I have a chance, and now I'll take you to dinner, I'll please."

"What do you want to come again, without me?"

An Tianhan had doubts about his ability to do things.

"What do you say! What did you just say, 'Look at me', you did it, and I was chased by a big dog. ”

"Ah, you were chased by a big dog, I didn't, do you know, since you instigated me to tease the dog when I was a child, can I be bitten by a dog? Can I have a shadow? I still have a scar on my butt! ”

"What do you mean by instigation, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been bitten on your buttocks, but in many parts of your body, and I'm embarrassed to say, it's still a shadow, how old are you, can you be a man. Besides, was that when I was a child? When you were a sophomore in high school, how old were you, and when you were a child, you had passed puberty, okay! ”

"Is it interesting that you always frustrate me every day?"

"Then you say me."

I am very dissatisfied with Jin Ranqi's accusations just now.

"Eat."

Jin Ranqi said to the window.

I always say that I don't look like a man, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious in doing things.

After dinner with Jin Ranqi, I went back to the flower shop and stood in front of the station with a watering can to water the plants.

It's work time, and the cars on the road are starting to get congested.

"Have you eaten?"

Yanna walked up to Tianhan, and she lost a lot of weight.

"This is what Aunt An left for you."

Yeona handed the file bag to Tianhan.

"It's all done."

"Thank you."

I took this file bag, which contained all the hard work of my mother who had worked hard in this city for so many years.

But looking at it now, for me they were the last things my mother left me, and I was so tired that I sat on the side of the road and didn't have the strength to eat lunch for these mothers.

"Mr. An's law firm, she has a deposit of 600,000 yuan in her name, as well as your current house, the two cars are all transferred to your name, and the procedures are all in this portfolio, you can take a look."

"Don't look at it, it's hard work, thank you."

"Did you go to Yang Baoshan today?"

"I didn't find it, the people there seemed to be very disgusted that someone was looking for Yang Baoshan. Who else was in charge of Shengsheng Construction Company at that time? ”

"Xu Luowen, the person in charge of that company. This construction company is a subsidiary of Qiao's Group, and Xu Luowen was originally an executive of Qiao's Group, and was transferred to this construction company a few years ago. Because Xu Luowen is an architecture professional, he is following some projects of construction companies. ”

"Xu Luowen."

I have to find a chance to get in touch with this person, and my mother must have had contact with him before she died.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, I locked the door and prepared to call it a day and go home.

"Auntie, are you going to lock the door?"

A little girl with long hair and a brown bunny stuffed animal stood behind me.

This girl I have seen is a little girl who spoiled her mother at the door of the restaurant on the day her mother left.

"Can I still buy a bouquet of flowers?"

A lady walked over and looked at the girl.

"She is my mother, today is my parents' wedding anniversary, and I want to use the money I have saved to buy bouquets of flowers for my parents and give them to them."

The girl looked to be about ten years old, and looked at me pitifully with her big eyes.

I unlocked the door of the flower shop and invited the mother and daughter to come in and sit down.

"Thank you."

The girl happily ran into the flower shop and looked at the room full of flowers, excitedly choosing.

"Thank you."

The girl's mother smiled beautifully, and for her daughter's willfulness, she didn't expect the flower shop girl to reopen the door and let her daughter choose whatever she wanted.

"Your daughter is so cute, I don't think anyone can bear to refuse."

"I want this."

The girl put the flowers on the workbench.

"That's all I want."

I walked to the workbench and saw the lilies on the table, and for a moment I was frozen by the innocent smile of the little girl.

I took out another handful of lilies from behind me, made a whole of 99 lilies, and wrapped the 99 lilies in expensive wrapping paper and decorations.

"Auntie."

The little girl took the bouquet of flowers, looked at me with some panic, and felt the money in her pocket, as if it was not enough to pay for the bouquet.

"This bouquet of flowers is given to you by Auntie, no money."

I crouched down and looked at this lovely girl.

"What?"

"You are so filial, you use your New Year's money to buy flowers for your parents to celebrate their wedding anniversary. I was very moved, so these 99 more lilies, auntie sent you. ”

"How can that be?"

The girl's mother hurried over.

"It's okay, I said give it to her. Don't want money, take it! ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

The girl looked at the situation in front of her, it seemed a little too sudden, but it really happened.

I stood in front of the flower shop to see off the mother and daughter, and I remember that my mother used to bring me here when I was a child.

This flower shop was originally run by an old grandmother, and later the old grandmother cashed out this long-term flower shop because of something at home.

At my repeated insistence, my mom bought it.

After graduating from university, I began to concentrate on this business called "purple"

of the florist.

Mother and daughter drove up in front of me, and the little girl wanted to get out of the window and wave to me.

"Bye-bye."
