Chapter 138 Funeral

Ji Ziyang and I attended Minister Yu Jin's funeral together, and there were more people attending the funeral than I expected, in addition to the cadres of the organs, former comrades-in-arms, and many people of different ages. I don't know who these strange men and women are, they all have solemn expressions and are very sad. There was no priest at the funeral to read the epitaph, Minister Yu Jin is a very simple person, his cemetery is surprisingly small, although the tombstone and the specifications stipulated by the state are in line with the specifications, but I noticed that the material of the urn is very ordinary. The funeral was presided over by a girl of the same age as me, who was very grief-stricken, choked up several times, and finished the funeral of Minister Yu Jin with difficulty. I thought the girl was a little familiar, but when I remembered it later, she seemed to be a secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and she often appeared in the news.

After the funeral, I stood in front of the old minister's grave for a while, I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't find out what the intention of the note he had left for me before, Ziyang told me that he had passed away without hesitation. So the note that the old minister gave me before became a suspense. I was about to leave when I found the female secretary who was presiding over the funeral standing behind me.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Ru, I presided over the funeral just now, are you the director of Kui Yin Yin?" She asked.

"Director?! I think you're mistaken, I just ...... "I was just going to fool around."

"Regarding your matter, I know very well, the acting director of the 17th Bureau of the Ministry of State Security of China, Kui Yinyin." She smiled, and there was no hostility in her smile.

"How do you know?!" I was a little surprised. That's right, in order not to doubt the outside world, my identity is the so-called leader of the expert advisory group. But because of the 17th Bureau, there is only one team, so my real identity is the acting director of the 17th Bureau of the Ministry of Security. This unremarkable female secretary was able to spy on the secrets inside the Ministry of Security, and it seems that she is not just a secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Don't worry, I won't leak state secrets, I just heard something about you from Minister Yu Jin, and Minister Yu Jin has always been by his side when he was dying." Yuan Ru said.

"You? However, I remember that Minister Yu Jin's information shows that his wife died very young, and he has no relatives and children. So you're his friend? I asked.

"To be exact. My mother is a friend of Minister Yu Jin, and they have known each other for decades, but there was something called family origin and composition in that era, for the sake of Minister Yu Jin's future. My mother eventually gave up on the relationship. Yuan Ru said regretfully.

"I remember that Minister Yu Jin had a first love when he was young. It's called Yuan Qingyu. Later, I broke up and met his wife through the introduction of the organization, but I remember his first girlfriend, who never married. You are so coincidentally surnamed Yuan. So...... It's not just you who investigated me, I also looked it up. "I'm understated.

"Hehe, yes, I admit it, I am the illegitimate daughter of Minister Yu Jin, but I respect him, even if I can't admit it, but I don't resent him, I respect him, he is a respectable person, a special era, a special mistake, we can't just blame him. He never stopped writing to my mother all these years, and it wasn't until last month, when my mother died, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief and passed away. Doctors said that his condition was capricious and that it was a miracle that he was able to persist until now. At the end of the day, his hematopoietic function seemed to be ineffective, and the blood on his body was getting less and less, so he almost used perseverance to go to the end. Yuan Ru's eyes flashed with tears.

I know very well in my heart the true situation of Minister Yu Jin, but all I can do is pat Yuan Ru on the shoulder, "Don't be sad." ”

"Director Kui, do you know who those people who came to this funeral spontaneously?" Yuan Ru asked.

I shook my head, did those people come spontaneously? This piqued my curiosity.

"Those people are all poor students sponsored by Minister Yu Jin, many of the students he has sponsored over the years have grown up, and they are shining in various fields, and they are all here today to thank this benefactor. I can't recognize him, but I'm proud that I'm her daughter. ”

"I can understand that Minister Yu is a good person." I sighed.

"Director Kui, am I delaying you?" Yuan Ru said embarrassedly, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Please?" I didn't expect it, I thought I was just left to the end, and I was caught by an illegitimate daughter who had no one to talk to and spit out bitter water to make chicken soup for the soul, but I didn't expect her to have something to ask for, it's not that I'm selfish, isn't there anything else in me now......

"I've heard that you have special abilities, so I want to know how my father died? The doctor said that he could not detect the abnormality of hematopoietic function, but the blood was inexplicably decreasing, and I knew that there were some things beyond my understanding, and I wondered if you could help me with this. At this time, Yuan Ru completely collapsed and cried, "You don't know, I watched him continue to transfuse blood every day, and then the blood disappeared inexplicably, he was as pale as a piece of paper, and I, as a daughter, couldn't do anything." Yuan Ru squatted on the ground, her pain overflowing.

"In this regard, I can only say that I did my best, after all, Minister Yu has gone to another world." I didn't give an exact answer, because even I didn't know if I could find that person, even though I already had a predetermined candidate in mind.

"You left her alone?" Ji Ziyang asked me, "When did Bibi seem to become as cold-blooded as me?" Ziyang said.

"I'm not cold-blooded, when I can't help her, do some so-called comforting things, say some so-called comforting things, but in reality it's not useful at all, it's better for you to do something practical to help him than to say some nonsense. I had an incident before, and it was a very real thing. One of my clients died, his family was very poor, and he ended up dying in his own house, stoned to death, because a rat had destroyed his family's ancestral home. He had only one daughter, who was only twelve years old. He has two friends who consider himself the best friend of his life, and one has always been with his daughter, comforting her and encouraging her. The other just took a look and left. At that time, this friend who left was scolded very badly. But later, he helped him repair and sell the house, exchanged money for the funeral, adopted his children, and used the money left over from the sale of the ancestral house to provide for the children to go to school. When you are alive, those more practical problems will always haunt you, and these things are definitely not solved by a few words of comfort. Practicality is the tenet of our Kui family. ”

"So you've got a plan, don't you? Do you suspect that deputy minister?! Ji Ziyang said.

"Not a doubt, but a certainty. But I just don't know his motives, obviously Minister Yu Jin is already a few years old to be able to retire, he can obviously ascend to the throne of the minister after Minister Yu Jin retires, why is this happening, why does it have to put a person to death? What did he have with Minister Yu? ”

"Are you so sure it's him?" Ji Ziyang said.

"You also know that Maoshan's ghost control technique is nothing more than using your own descendants in exchange for driving ghosts and gods to your use, so you have to pay a desperate price for using the art of resisting ghosts and raising ghosts. Zhou Yun is dignified, young and promising, and he should never have a family at this age, so I think he must have used Maoshan's ghost raising technique. ”

"The art of raising ghosts must find the Gu of raising ghosts, this thing is not easy to carry, and breaking the Gu will break the forbidden art. Therefore, I am afraid that this thing is not so easy to find, and even if it is found, it is actually meaningless to destroy it now. Ji Ziyang said.

"It's not meaningless, at least it's certain that he can't use this method to harm others again." I say.

"Why is this said by you, as if you already know where his Gu is hiding, I can't wait to rush over and smash it immediately." Ji Ziyang asked.

"You're right, I already know, the clay pot on the desk in Zhou Yun's office, that thing doesn't look like an ornament or has any practicality, Zhou Yun doesn't seem to have this kind of hobby of collectibles, and he doesn't know anything about antiques and the like, so this should be the Gu we are looking for."

"He put the Gu on the table?!" Ji Ziyang thought it was incredible.

"What's impossible, Zhou Yun is the kind of person with great wisdom at first glance, his style of doing things is clean and neat, and he doesn't want to be superfluous, such a person will believe in the saying 'the most dangerous place is also the safest place'. So that kind of thing is most likely. ”

"They think I'm a thousand-year-old ghost very scary, but sometimes, I think it's scary for you to be able to take me as a ghost puppet." Ji Ziyang said.

"So is that an affirmation of me?" I asked with a smile, but Ji Ziyang didn't answer, just nodded.

I took out my mobile phone and made a call to Wang Na, "Sister Wang Na, it's me, help me check the information of Zhou Yun, the current minister of the Ministry of Security." ”

"Minister Zhou Yun? But it's cloudy, the minister's information is all internal information, and it's hard to see it without permission. Wang Na said embarrassedly.

"Sister Wang Na, have you forgotten your professional expertise? Now that you're so good at computers, don't be shy, take the time to tap into your personal potential, maybe you can fill in a side hustle and become a hacker. I hung up with a smile, I was pretty sure that Wang Na would not let me down.

"Where to go now? Go directly to Zhou Yunxing to ask for the guilt? Ji Ziyang asked.

"Of course not, I'm not such an unprincipled person, go back to the office first, I want to see the legendary story behind Zhou Yun first, aren't you curious? The Deputy Minister of Security, the Minister, the secret behind the two people. I felt that I had the potential to be a gossip news reporter. ”

My phone clanged, the email came, it was so efficient, I tilted my head and said to Ji Ziyang, "Let's go, go back and read the story." (To be continued......)
