"After a forensic examination, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed, and it is the Chinese New Year that has been missing for two years."

It was a middle-aged police officer who spoke, with a hoarse and dull voice, sitting in the general manager's office of Erya Education Group, his eyes scanning everything in the room like a torch.

Gu Qiusha has not forgotten this face, in 1995, within a few days of being arrested in the detention center on suspicion of being a murderer, the police officer in front of her came to look for her twice.

"Yes, when I saw that broken jeep by the Suzhou Creek, I naturally remembered the Chinese New Year. There were very few people driving it, and it was a foreign license plate, and there was a pattern of roses in the trunk in the skull - I was impressed at the time, and it was definitely his car. ”

Can you tell us about that time? Why didn't you take the bus and walk home with a primary school student? ”

Officer Huanghai is in his forties, and a lot has happened in the past nine years, his complexion is darker, and his body is still burly and straight.

"I'm so sorry for that kid because of my curiosity, I let him see a terrible corpse, and I'm worried about what psychological shadow it will leave on him." Gu Qiusha sighed, it seemed that the crow's feet had come out, "Si Wang is a rare genius for decades, and such a child is a priceless treasure." ”

"I see, can you talk about the victim again?"

"He Nian is the former deputy general manager of our group, who was originally the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Municipal Education Bureau, and who resigned with my father a few years ago and went to sea, and was also one of the first batch of entrepreneurial executives. I've worked with him for two years, and he's a very capable man with a weird personality, but he's never had a grudge against anyone. ”

"According to the autopsy report, the preliminary judgment was that the time of death was December 2002, which is about the time of disappearance. The body was decomposed, and it was difficult for the forensic doctor to give the exact cause of death, but judging from the knife on the deceased's clothes, he was stabbed to death with a sharp knife from behind. The killer wrapped the body in a carpet, sealed it tightly in the trunk, and discarded it in the most desolate corner of the Suzhou Creek. There are few passers-by there, and the corpse of Layue in the cold winter is not easy to decay. By the following summer, there was a lot of garbage piling up on the side of the road, and the smell was mixed up, and no one would notice it. ”

"Yes, he disappeared for no reason, and the group thought that he was poached by competitors, and posted a missing person notice in newspapers and on the Internet, and then thought of going to the public security bureau to report the disappearance, but I didn't expect to encounter misfortune a long time ago."

For last week's adventure by the Suzhou Creek, Gu Qiusha still has lingering palpitations. By surprise, she found the New Year's jeep and, with the help of a schoolboy, boldly pried the back of the car, only to find the body of the missing executive.

"Another thing I want to ask, I investigated the archives of He Nian and found that he graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University in 1992, and one of his classmates is also from this city, I think you must know that person, right?"

Facing the fierce gaze of Officer Huanghai, Gu Qiusha had already expected it, and replied calmly: "Affirm." ”

"Coincidentally, in 1995, when I interrogated Shen Shen, he said that he was about to be transferred to the Municipal Education Bureau, and he was determined to become the secretary of the Youth League Committee. He was killed within a few days, and two years later he was given the position for the New Year, and he was transferred to the Education Bureau only one month before his death. ”

"What are you suspecting? Does the death of the New Year have anything to do with the affirmation? Or is it the other way around? ”

"Anything is possible."

Gu Qiusha's heart was beating wildly, and she naturally remembered the letter, the autographed letter provided by He Nian to her father-because he betrayed his college classmates who trusted him the most, and He Nian obtained the position of secretary of the Youth League Committee.

She avoided Huang Hai's gaze and replied, "I don't know. ”

"Well, thank you very much for your cooperation, if you still think of anything, please feel free to contact me."

Officer Huang Hai dropped a business card and left, her palms covered with beads of sweat, but she still didn't tell the secret.

The letter from nine years ago has always been hidden in my father's hands, and if he doesn't want to take it out, what is the use of her words?

Gu Qiusha sat and lay down for a long time, and suddenly called the driver and drove her to the No. 1 Primary School on Changshou Road.

It was crowded again after school, and she saw the boy named Si Wang, wearing a blue school uniform and a red scarf, walking out of the school gate.

His eyesight was not bad, he saw Gu Qiusha in many cars, walked to the window of the BMW 760 and said, "Miss Gu, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"I'm here to apologize to you for what happened last time."

"Is that the corpse of that broken jeepri by the Suzhou Creek?"

"You're a nine-year-old kid, how can you see that kind of dirty thing? It's all my fault. Gu Qiusha opened the car door for him, "Please come in and talk." ”

Si Wang timidly looked at the car, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of getting your car dirty." ”

It seems that he has never sat in such a good car, and now the little boy has long known the brands of various cars, Gu Qiusha smiled and said, "It's okay!" Hurry up and come in. ”

The boy frowned, sat in cautiously, looked up and down the interior of the car, and said, "Miss Gu, about that corpse, please rest assured, I won't have nightmares because of this." ”

"Are you really not afraid?"

"I've seen corpses, my grandfather died last year, and this year my grandmother is gone, and I watched them go into the cremation oven."

He said lightly, Gu Qiusha had hugged his shoulder: "Poor child." ”

The boy exhaled hot air in her ear and said, "There will always be a day when people die, and life is but an eternal circle, which repeats itself between life and death." ”

"Si Wang, it seems that in addition to Chinese and English, you also like to read philosophy books."

"Do you know the six realms of reincarnation?"

"Tell me about it."

"The Heavenly Dao, the Human Dao, the Asura Dao, the Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao - people are forever reincarnated in the six realms, and those who take evil retribution will become animals, evil ghosts and even hell in the next life, and those who do good will return to the human world and the Heavenly Dao. Only arhats, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas can jump out of the six realms of reincarnation. ”

"Well, that's a Buddhist saying, but I'm a Christian."

She took out the cross that hung on her chest.

The third-grader looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, as if she had been stabbed in the eye, and retreated to the car door and said, "Do you really believe in Christ?" ”

"Why did you lie to you?"

"Then do you believe that the soul exists after death, and we are all waiting for God's last judgment, and if we believe in Jesus, we can be redeemed and go to heaven, otherwise we can only go to hell?"

"I-" Gu Qiusha was bothered by this question, she entered the church after she declared her death, "Believe! ”

"There are texts that say that death is only a stage from this life to the Hereafter, and that at the Last Judgment every dead will be raised from the bones to be judged before the Lord, and if you believe right and do good, you will ascend to Paradise and eternal life, otherwise you will receive the punishment of Hellfire."

"Little genius, have you read all the religious texts?"

Si Wang said to himself: "Perhaps, only Taoism is an exception, Taoism values life and pursues immortality, and the world of ghosts is a world parallel to the human world - have you ever seen ghosts?" ”

Bowing his head in silence, unable to answer, the boy added mysteriously, "I've seen it." ”

"Okay, you've beaten me down, don't talk about that anymore, okay? I'll send you home. ”

He hesitated for a moment, gave an address, and waited for the long-standing driver to step on the accelerator.

Ten minutes later, the BMW drove into a narrow alley, and had to honk its horn constantly to get out of the way of the old men and women basking in the sun, and had to compete with bicycles and mopeds, and if the boss hadn't sat in the car, the driver would have rolled down the window and scolded.

"Just stop here."

Si Wang pointed to a big locust tree that was shedding leaves, he jumped out of the car and said "thank you", and went into the three-story old house.
