After Shen Kaiwen's death, the progress of the investigation, which had been at an impasse, once again stagnated, and completely fell into a predicament, many questions that originally needed Shen Kaiwen to answer could not be figured out now, and Ji Xueling and Luo Quan also disappeared completely after the police found the yacht that stayed on the sea, maybe, they had left S City, perhaps, they were hiding in a corner of S City, with a sarcastic smile on their faces, Quietly looking at Xu Lang, they were amused by the exhaustion of looking for them.

In the next two days, the police investigated Shen Kaiwen's home, his previous company, including the place where his wife Zhou Xiaoru once worked, the people they knew before, and their close friends, and conducted a thorough search of his residence, however, everything seemed to be useless, and the police did not get any useful clues, which made the investigation deadlock again.

What makes Xu Lang feel even more pressured is not only the stagnation of the case investigation, but also the fact that many people in the news media, after Shen Kaiwen set himself on fire at the door of the court, CSY's phone always rings non-stop every day, and most of them are called by these media reporters. put the microphone on the other party's face and asked about the progress of the investigation of the case, which seriously affected the progress of Xu Lang's investigation of the case.

If it is said that the investigation of the case has not progressed for a long time, it has been chased and intercepted by media reporters, and there is overwhelming public opinion outside, and all the leaders of the superiors are very concerned about this case, then, not long after Shen Kaiwen's death, there were several suicide cases in S City, and the places where these people committed suicide were some of the places where they worked, some were at the door of the police station, and some were at the door of their boss's house. People who are full of despair about their work and the future seem to see a glimmer of hope.

The reasons why these people choose to commit suicide are actually very simple, some are because they have been treated unfairly in the company for a long time, they have not been promoted for a long time, and their wages have not been raised, they are full of despair at work and choose to commit suicide, and some are because they have been treated unfairly, he feels that the whole world has abandoned him, so he chose to commit suicide, and some of them have worked hard for the boss, but in the end, they can't get their wages, they have no hope of asking for salary, and finally, they choose this extreme way.

It seems that each of them has a good reason to commit suicide, and it seems that it is not so sufficient, however, when each of them chooses to commit suicide and end their lives, they will choose to be in a crowded place, and some even found media reporters and broadcast live, they looked at the crowd of onlookers, to the camera lens, crying in tears about the unfair treatment they had suffered, they said as if they had no other way than to die, and the police force that was originally responsible for martial law S City, In the face of these unexpected situations, I have to give up the work at hand and turn to solve these things.

In just two days, the calls of the S City Alarm Center have been many times more than in the past, and even, the Alarm Center has received more calls in a day than in a month, and the various public security bureaus and the General Administration of Public Security have also shown great helplessness in the face of this situation.

With the suicide of these people, public opinion in society is getting bigger and bigger, more and more intense, people in life, on the Internet, vent their unfair encounters, it seems that everyone is full of anger, full of pessimistic emotions, and even, some people have openly established suicide stickers and various groups on the Internet, in which they tell their dissatisfaction, their despair, if it is in the past, people will choose to comfort, to explain, to comfort these people, however, with the death of Shen Kaiwen, Many people choose to be silent, and some people encourage these people who are already full of despair about life to commit suicide, and even they will list various ways to commit suicide, what kind of suicide is not painful, and those suicide methods can cause a sensational effect, some people choose to commit suicide, and some people are entangled and hesitant to commit suicide on the way, and those who encourage others to commit suicide are hiding on the virtual network, happily, unscrupulously tapping on the keyboard, and then, waiting to see a good show, As for whether these people will feel guilty about the death of others, they don't care about this, anyway, the person who died is not themselves.

In the face of this bad atmosphere, the Municipal Public Security Bureau attached great importance to it, and they ordered the Internet supervision department to ban these posts and groups, and at the same time, they also arrested and detained some people who spread rumors and instigated others to commit suicide.

Xu Lang blushed and sat in the office, he looked at the new news that kept appearing on the Internet, as well as various comments, Xu Lang felt both angry and helpless, after Shen Kaiwen committed suicide, Xu Lang's worst fears still happened.

Xu Lang was worried before that Shen Kaiwen's suicide may be just the beginning, and the current results also prove that Xu Lang's guess is right, yes, Shen Kaiwen committed suicide, he died, he died peacefully, he willingly chose death, however, his death, his behavior, but stabbed many people and triggered the butterfly effect.

Shen Kaiwen admitted that he was a punisher before he died, he helped Wang Wenruo, and also helped himself, punished Sun Qihang's father and son, punished Zhang Jinzhong, and also punished Tan Yanxue, who had already paid a heavy price for his mistakes, and finally, he punished himself, Xu Lang had to admit that Shen Kaiwen was a perfect punisher, he was even better than what Lu Jianwei did eight years ago, and he was more resolute, more ruthless, he not only punished others, but also punished himself.

However, these are not what Xu Lang wants to see, nor what the government-government organs want to see, let alone what the state wants to see, people who make mistakes need to be punished, it can be psychological punishment, it can also be spiritual punishment, and it can be material punishment, but no one wants to be punished at the cost of life.

————

Just when Xu Lang was sitting in the office, browsing these negative-side-news, thinking about how to solve these things as soon as possible, the door of the office was pushed open, and Luo Jiayan walked in.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Lang quickly raised his head, looked towards the door, and after finding that it was Luo Jiayan, he cast an inquiring glance at Luo Jiayan.

"Kevin Shen's wife has returned to China." Luo Jiayan's doll face also lost her previous smile, she frowned, looked at Xu Lang and said slowly.

"Zhou Xiaoru? Where is she? Xu Lang hurriedly asked.

"In the morgue."

Xu Lang stood up and said to Luo Jiayan, "I want to see her." ”

Luo Jiayan didn't speak, turned around and went out.

————

In the inquiry room, there was a long table, which was empty, and on either side of the table, several chairs were placed, Xu Lang sat on the left side of the table, and a woman who looked haggard and tired sat on the right.

The woman is Shen Kaiwen's wife Zhou Xiaoru, her eye circles are red and swollen terrible, her eye sockets are deep, her eye bags are very heavy, her face is pale, and her spirit is very poor.

Xu Lang looked at Zhou Xiaoru, frowning, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

At this time, Luo Jiayan walked in with a pack of tissues, she didn't speak, but just handed the tissues in front of Zhou Xiaoru.

Zhou Xiaoru raised her head and glanced at Luo Jiayan, then put down the cup in her hand, took the tissue, and took out a cigarette that silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After a long time, Zhou Xiaoru stopped crying, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened to my husband?" ”

Hearing Zhou Xiaoru say this, Xu Lang suddenly narrowed his eyes, he looked Zhou Xiaoru up and down, and after making sure that she was not lying, he asked, "You don't know what Shen Kaiwen is doing?" ”

Zhou Xiaoru shook her head.

"You are husband and wife, would you not know what Kevin Shen is doing? Didn't Shen Kaiwen tell you when he returned to China? Xu Lang asked.

Zhou Xiaoru shook her head again and said, "No." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoru raised her head and glanced at Xu Lang, as if she knew what Xu Lang was going to ask next, so she took the initiative to explain: "Since my father died two years ago, I suspect that my father's death is not as simple as an accident, and I can't find evidence to prove this, and my husband doesn't believe it, he has always been busy dealing with my father's affairs." ”

"Hey......."

Zhou Xiaoru sighed deeply and continued: "You may not know, my mother left early, it was my father who single-handedly pulled me up, I have always had a good relationship with my father, and I have never been able to accept his sudden death, and I also suffered from depression, need to rely on medication, and also contracted the vice of smoking. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoru smiled helplessly and sadly, she took out a box of women's cigarettes from her bag, took out one and lit one, and then pushed the cigarette case in front of Xu Lang, Xu Lang just glanced at the cigarette case, and did not mean to take the cigarette, and Zhou Xiaoru didn't care.

She smoked slowly and said, "I suspected that my father's death was related to Sun Shihao, and my husband also sued them, but ......"

Zhou Xiaoru spit out a smoke ring and continued: "As a result, you also know, lost the lawsuit, and I have depression, I can't work, I stay at home every day, or go to the hospital, every time, after he comes back tired, I always ask him how the investigation is, and after knowing that there is no progress, I will be angry at him, in fact, I know that he is also very embarrassed and painful, I shouldn't blame him, and I shouldn't lose my temper at him, but I just can't help it, no way, no way, no way to ......"

According to Zhou Xiaoru, since Zhou Guangji's death, Zhou Xiaoru and Shen Kaiwen both wanted to ask Zhou Guangji for an explanation, wanting to know the truth about his death, they always suspected that Sun Shihao killed Zhou Guangji, but they have no evidence to prove this, Shen Kaiwen ran outside all day long in order to find out the truth, but the effect was not great, and Zhou Xiaoru suffered from depression because she couldn't bear Zhou Guangji's sudden death for a while, she couldn't work, she couldn't communicate with people normally, In addition to staying at home and thinking about some messy things every day, she is in a daze, occasionally going out, and also going to the hospital to see a doctor.

Shen Kaiwen not only has to continue to work and defend those who entrust him to fight lawsuits, but also to investigate the truth of Zhou Guangji's death, and also take care of the sick Zhou Xiaoru, facing Zhou Xiaoru's groundless accusations.

In this way, they have lived in S City for more than a year, and most of the year ago, suddenly one day, Shen Kaiwen went home early, he looked at Zhou Xiaoru, who was angry with himself again, hugged her and said, let's go abroad.

After more than a year, Zhou Xiaoru slowly accepted this time, and her attending doctor also told her that she should change her environment and live, and now, hearing Shen Kaiwen say that she wanted to go abroad, Zhou Xiaoru did not object, so she agreed.

The procedures for going abroad to settle down were all handled by Shen Kaiwen, and Zhou Xiaoru just followed Shen Kaiwen out of the country.

After arriving in the UK, perhaps because of a new environment, Zhou Xiaoru's mood was obviously much better, and she rarely got angry at Shen Kaiwen, however, since Shen Kaiwen went abroad, he often locked himself in the study alone, not knowing what he was doing, Zhou Xiaoru asked Shen Kaiwen many times what he was thinking, but Shen Kaiwen refused to say anything, Zhou Xiaoru thought that Shen Kaiwen was still thinking about Zhou Guangji, so she didn't think much about it.

Three months after they went abroad, Shen Kaiwen suddenly proposed to return to China to do business, and Zhou Xiaoru also became depressed again at that time, she not only smoked, but also needed to rely on alcohol to anesthetize herself, so she didn't care much about Shen Kaiwen's return, just a faint feeling, Shen Kaiwen changed, became silent, became unable to understand herself, she felt that Shen Kaiwen left this time, and she might completely leave herself, but Zhou Xiaoru still did not stop Shen Kaiwen's return to China.

After Shen Kaiwen returned to China, he never contacted Zhou Xiaoru again, which also proved Zhou Xiaoru's guess, she knew that she became what she is now, not every man can bear it, and Shen Kaiwen chose to leave her, which is understandable, she does not resent Shen Kaiwen, she took everything lightly, until the night of Shen Kaiwen's accident, she received Shen Kaiwen's express, and there was nothing else in the express, only a divorce agreement.

Although she knew that they would divorce sooner or later, she didn't expect that Shen Kaiwen would choose to divorce in such a way, and he didn't even want to meet with him after the divorce, how disappointed he should be in himself, so Zhou Xiaoru cried to death after receiving the divorce agreement, however, just after she couldn't easily accept this fact, she received a call from Xu Lang and them, telling her that Shen Kaiwen had an accident and wanted her to come back.

After Zhou Xiaoru returned to China, she received calls from several former good friends, telling her what happened to Shen Kaiwen, and these friends called, on the one hand, to comfort Zhou Xiaoru and tell her not to think too much, and on the other hand, to know first, why Shen Kaiwen chose to commit suicide, and whether Shen Kaiwen's death had anything to do with Zhou Xiaoru, however, Zhou Xiaoru herself also knew that in the three months before Shen Kaiwen's accident, she didn't know what Shen Kaiwen did and what happened, so naturally she couldn't answer this question.

On the way to CSY, Zhou Xiaoru felt that she was dreaming and felt that it was not true, however, when she saw Shen Kaiwen's charred and blurred body in the morgue, she couldn't be sure that it would be Shen Kaiwen, but the facts told her that the charred and curled up corpse was Shen Kaiwen, her husband, or ex-husband.

After Zhou Xiaoru said this in a sob, she looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Why did he commit suicide?" ”

What is the motive for Shen Kaiwen's suicide, Xu Lang also wants to know, originally, he wanted to get some useful clues from Zhou Xiaoru, however, now it seems that Zhou Xiaoru himself does not know.

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "We don't know the reason for Shen Kaiwen's suicide for the time being, but I think we will find out." ”

Zhou Xiaoru looked at Xu Lang's eyes, and after being silent for a few seconds, she nodded slightly, and then asked, "Is it true that the Internet says that he is a punisher and a murderer?" ”

When Zhou Xiaoru asked this question, she looked at Xu Lang expectantly, hoping that Xu Lang would shake her head, hoping that Xu Lang would tell herself that her husband was not a murderer, however, Xu Lang just looked at her and didn't say anything, neither admitted nor denied it, Xu Lang's attitude has said everything, and the rumors outside may be true.

"How is this possible? How could he be a murderer? He helped so many people, how could he go back and kill people? Zhou Xiaoru obviously couldn't accept this fact for a while, she muttered to herself.

Xu Lang was silent for a while, looked at Zhou Xiaoru and asked, "Your husband has liver cancer, and it's still in an advanced stage, do you know?" ”

"What?"

Zhou Xiaoru raised her head suddenly, looked at Xu Lang with a stunned expression, as if she had heard it wrong, and she asked again, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing Zhou Xiaoru's reaction, Xu Lang knew that Zhou Xiaoru didn't know that Shen Kaiwen had cancer, Xu Lang thought about it, and finally decided to tell Zhou Xiaoru the truth, and Zhou Xiaoru collapsed again after listening, and cried bitterly in the inquiry room, crying heartbreakingly, liver and intestines, which made people sigh for a while.
