Gu Changlong's memorial service was deserted, and few people came. At the beginning, it was full of friends, and countless people wanted to come to the door, and as for those who flattered and patted the horses, they had disappeared without a trace. Even his own relatives deliberately avoided it, so as not to get into any trouble - I heard that he was going to kill someone, but he was killed by his ex-son-in-law, and the murderer is still at large.

The night before his father was killed, he had a long talk with Gu Qiusha for a long night, and he said that he didn't want to live like this anymore, and it was better to die with that person than to have nothing in his last years. The daughter tried every possible way to persuade him to let go, but in fact, it was herself who couldn't let go the most, until she took the initiative to mention another name.

"Affirmation?" Gu Changlong roared irritably, "Are you still thinking about him?" ”

"If you could have saved him; If you hadn't expelled him insistently, could you have given him a chance, would he have gone down that dead-end road? Will he die in the cold underground? If you hadn't done those selfish and shameful things, you would still be my husband, and he would accept me and tolerate me, and we would have lived happily ever after, and we wouldn't be where you are today. ”

"Shut up!"

"In 1995, before our engagement ceremony, Shen Ming told me that Principal Qian was framed and committed suicide, but you asked him to frame it, and deceived him into saying that it was a magic object of the town's house! You don't know how much pain Shen felt in his heart, he felt that he was a murderer, and indirectly killed an upright old man. But he doesn't dare denounce you, because you are my father, his father-in-law. He said that sooner or later he would be condemned by God, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and a death to apologize. My dearest father, it was you who took advantage of the affirmation and ended up abandoning him like a sick dog! You're a scumbag. ”

"But I've given him the greatest reward, to let my precious daughter marry a kid like him!"

"Dad, you go die."

Gu Changlong ran out of the house in shame, but Gu Qiusha didn't know that his father was carrying the Swiss Army knife in his arms.

Did I let my dad die?

Until the cremation furnace was opened, Gu Changlong had turned into ashes, Gu Qiusha was always thinking about this problem, but she couldn't even shed a single tear.

After laying the ashes, there is a man waiting for her, still with that chiseled face, reminiscent of Ken Takakura in Japanese movies in the past.

"Miss Gu, the police have confirmed that the Swiss Army knife is the murder weapon that killed your father. On the bloody hilt, Lu Zhongyue's fingerprints were collected, which could basically confirm that he was the murderer. ”

"Wait until you catch him."

She said coldly, turned sideways and walked out of the funeral home,

Officer Huang Hai followed behind her: "Lu Zhongyue is likely to have absconded to other places, and the online wanted notice has been issued to the whole country, but please cooperate with my work." ”

"Do you think it's just a simple murder?"

This sentence made him pause slightly: "Actually, you know very well in your heart that I have been staring at your home since He Nian's body was found. ”

"He Nian, me, my father, and Lu Zhongyue — all related to the statement that he was killed in 1995."

These four people were the people who affirmed their most trust, but at the most difficult moment of life and death, they betrayed and hurt him, and it can be said that they are all responsible for his death.

"Since 2002, two of them have died unexpectedly, and one is absconding as a murderer, and I believe that all this is not accidental, and it should be related to the murderer who killed Shen Ming back then."

"There's one me left, and I'm probably not far from death, right?"

"I'm sorry." Huang Hai had some expression for the first time, but it was a faint guilt, "As a policeman, I am ashamed. ”

"If you really want to solve the case, you can pay attention to a person, who is a fourth-grade elementary school student - Si Wang."

"The child you adopted?"

"Yes." After a moment's hesitation, she whispered, "I think he should know Shen." Although, he was born only after the death of the affirmation. ”

"I don't understand."

"I don't even understand it myself! Why did you know this child? Why did he come into my life, make me fall in love with him, and then destroy me completely? ”

Huang Hai nodded coldly and said, "I'll investigate him." ”

"The boy has a mark on his back."

"What is it?"

Gu Qiusha didn't want to entangle with the police anymore, so she walked out of the funeral home quickly, stopped a taxi and left.

With so few friends and relatives in attendance for the funeral, she canceled her dinner and snuggled up in the back seat, looking out the window at the cold city.

In just three months, she lost her company, wealth, power, home, husband, father, and most cherished children.

In the past ten years, she has never imagined and dare not imagine what kind of pain and despair it must be when she was locked up in prison on trumped-up charges, deprived of her most precious teacher, buried everything she had worked hard for more than ten years, and finally lost her bride.

It's like myself at the moment......

State?

If there was an afterlife, who would you be?

At ten o'clock in the evening on June 19 last year, the boy who burned tin foil in the backyard?

Wang'er?

In the last few months, he lived in the Gu family as an adopted son, and all the secrets were at his fingertips. Because of Gu Qiusha's negligence, the power of the company fell into the hands of Lu Zhongyue and the new assistant general manager - she privately investigated Ma Li and found that he had altered his resume during the application process, Tsinghua University's high-talent students are right, but the high school is in Nanming Middle School, graduated in 1995, and it is likely that he was a student brought by Shenming.

Siwang - horsepower - affirmation.

How terrible is this fourth-grade elementary school student?

The taxi stopped, and it was not the apartment that Gu Qiusha rented, but a narrow and dilapidated alley, facing the big locust tree that had just sprouted green leaves.

On the afternoon of the funeral, spring finally came.

She looked at the window on the third floor, where the clothes of women and children were drying. She looked through the mailbox in the corridor, and sure enough, there was an envelope with He Qingying's name printed on it, all of which were spam and advertisements, it seemed that their mother and son still lived here.

Gu Qiusha didn't dare to rush up, she had to lurk in secret, day and night, year after year, staring at Si Wang and his mother until she grabbed their handle and dug up the secret hidden in this boy.

Compared to Lu Zhongyue, who killed her father, she was more afraid of this boy who was less than 1.4 meters tall and weighed less than 30 kilograms, and once called her mother.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a voice sounded behind her: "Miss Gu, it's nice to see you again." ”

It was a gentle female voice, Gu Qiusha turned her head in a panic, and it was really Si Wang's mother. He Qingying maintained a beautiful face and a figure that had never been out of shape, carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, and a few fresh hairtails, which were Si Wang's favorite food.

"Oh, hello, I was just passing through."

Gu Qiusha didn't dare to look at each other's eyes, a year ago she came condescendingly, and in the face of this impoverished mother, she put forward her wish to adopt her son like a charity. Now the two have switched places, although they are the same age, she seems to be several years older than He Qingying.

"Miss Gu, is something happening to your family?"

He Qingying saw the black yarn on her arm, and Gu Qiusha smiled bitterly: "The family is ruined!" ”

"How so?"

"You're pretending to be a white rabbit, aren't you?" Gu Qiusha replied unceremoniously, "I just came down from the memorial service and burned my father to ashes. ”

"I'm sorry!"

He Qingying naturally took a step back and stared at Gu Qiusha a few times.

"I have the bad luck of a dead man in me, don't come near me!"

"This ...... It's a pity, I'm still very grateful for your care before, do you want to go up and sit? ”

"No need, I'm afraid I'll disturb Wang-" Gu Qiusha just wanted to say the word "Wang'er", and immediately changed her words, "Si Wang." ”

"It's just after school day, and I don't know if he's coming home."

"Miss He, there is something I want to tell you - although your son is a rare genius, don't you think he is very strange?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. Wang'er is indeed super smart, but in my eyes, he is still an ordinary child, he has to dress when it's cold, he has to be sent to the hospital when he's sick, he likes to eat his mother's cooking, that's all. ”

However, judging from He Qingying's eyes when she said this, Gu Qiusha concluded that she was lying.

"Can you believe it? After death, there will be an afterlife. ”

"Miss Gu, what are you talking about?"

"Probably every child is born with memories of the previous life, whether it is a safe and happy death, or a bumpy fate, or a young death like some people. All the good, sad, contradictory, helpless, painful memories will be entangled in the baby's brain - that's why they cry all night. Then he gradually forgets until he can no longer remember a single star, and his brain is completely blank into a child. Gu Qiusha looked at the window upstairs, her mind was full of the face of another person, the evening when she first met him, "Perhaps, many years later, in the streets and alleys, I met him in my previous life by chance, and suddenly looked back and looked familiar, but he was already a whole reincarnation." ”

She didn't know where her feelings came from, but she actually said so much.

He Qingying seemed to be touched, bowed his head and said to himself: "But people always have to forget, it's better to forget, right?" ”

"Do you know a man named Twig?"

This is the name that Si Wang had recited in his dreams, and He Qingying shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”

"If you don't find out his secret, then you have to be careful! This child has a curse on him, and he will cause misfortune to everyone around him, like my family, like your husband, and you—"

"Enough!" He Qingying finally showed an angry face, "Don't you think this is a very excessive word? ”

"I'm sorry, you're a mother, but I'm also a woman, I'm really for your good, I hope you can listen to me, otherwise...... Good bye! ”

Gu Qiusha left without looking back, took a taxi on the side of the road, and returned to her home after dark.

Nice apartment for 5,000 yuan per month. She still hid some money with her, and after the accident, she sold her jewelry so that she could provide for herself without worrying about food and clothing.

As soon as I entered the entrance, I took off my shoes, I heard a hurried sound, and at the moment when I was about to turn back, my vest was cold.

Immediately after that, there was a piercing pain, as if some kind of hard object, and before it had time to struggle and scream, the heart had been punctured.

In Gu Qiusha's thirty-six years of life, the last thing she saw was a photo of her and Si Wang hanging on the wall.

"When you kill someone, everything changes. Your life will change forever, and you will live in fear for the rest of your life. ”

In 1995, she and Shen Ming watched a tape while lying in bed, and a month later, he died.
