In the early morning of May 31, 2016, Long Simiao, a suspect in the serial murder case of R City Normal University, was arrested in the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Chinese Medicine, and the police found some evidence of the crime in his rented house.

After Long Simiao was taken to the city bureau, the police interrogated him overnight. Because of the conclusive evidence, Long Simiao confessed to the three murders he committed and showed strong remorse. In view of the seriousness of the case and the bad impact of the case, the death sentence of Long Simiao is almost a certainty, and the possibility of winning a reprieve from death is very small.

Long Simiao already knew the fate he was going to face, he was not afraid of death, the only thing he couldn't rest assured about was his father lying on the hospital bed.

Gu Song promised him that until Uncle Long's body recovered, at least before the operation and during the postoperative recovery period, he would not let Uncle Long know about his murder and imprisonment, so as not to be psychologically stimulated and aggravate his condition.

On the morning of June 2, 2016, Uncle Long's kidney transplant was carried out as scheduled in the Affiliated Hospital of R University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Regarding the illegal organ trade, the people of Branch F were still in the early stage of collecting clues about the crime, and it did not affect Uncle Long's operation. Hearing this news, Gu Song was a little happy in his heart.

The so-called people have their own lives, and this is probably the best arrangement of God for the suffering Uncle Long.

Outside the operating room, Qi Ye and Li Xia sat side by side on chairs in the rest area, anxiously waiting for news from the doctor. During the four-hour operation, the two people held each other's hands all the time, and although there were no verbal conversations, their inner thoughts were exactly the same.

After so many sad and heartache pasts, their fates have been closely linked. Many people have paid with their lives because of hatred, and some have stepped into a new life because of forgiveness.

For Li Xia, her father's death is something that can never be changed and forgotten, but she can't resent Xiaolong because she also owes it to Xiaolong. In order to make amends, in order to repay, in order to let all the grievances end here, she decided to spend the rest of her time taking care of Uncle Long with Qiye.

During the lunch break, Gu Song took the time to go to the hospital.

Uncle Long's operation went well, but he hadn't woken up from anesthesia yet. Gu Song briefly inquired about the operation, and then handed over a notebook with a sense of age to Qi Ye. "I think this should be what Li Tianhua wanted to show you on the day he asked you to meet." After speaking, he turned to Li Xia again, "After reading it, you will understand the whole story. ”

It was a leather-covered notebook, the paper of which had been wrinkled and yellowed by the erosion of time. Li Xia had never seen such a thing, and her father must have hidden it in a secret place for many years.

The diary began in 1991 and ended in 2006. The following is an excerpt from Lai Tianhua's diary:

30 March 1991

The aftermath of Tianyu is finally over. According to her confession in her suicide note, we buried her near the rape field on the hillside.

Until my family and friends were all gone, and my parents and I were left looking at the old house where there was one less person forever, I still couldn't believe that the gentle and virtuous Tianyu left us alone.

I felt hollowed out. All hopes for the future have come to naught.

Why can human life be so fragile? Why didn't we stop this tragedy? Can anyone tell me what Tianyu went through before committing suicide? Why did she have to die? Why don't we take our feelings into account?

Qitao seems to have been hit harder than we are.

Seeing him crying heartbreakingly in front of Tianyu's tombstone, I couldn't bear to pull him away from Tianyu's side. Thinking of the relationship between him and Tianyu, I really feel sorry for the two of them.

April 2, 1991

It's almost time to go back to school, and although my heart is still heavy, I still have to go on with my life. My parents have lost a child, and I am their hope and support for the rest of their lives. I want to study hard, get ahead, and take them to live in the city in the future, so as to live up to Tianyu's expectations of me.

On the train back to R City, Qi Tao never said a word, silently looking at the farmland outside the window in a daze. Whenever the train passed by the golden fields of rape flowers, I noticed a subtle change in the expression on his face. I know what he's thinking, because that's the same in my heart.

20 June 1991

Graduation is imminent, and a new life is finally about to begin. Recently, I've been busy with graduation assignments, and I haven't had much contact with Qi Tao, and I don't know how he is.

After lunch, I rode my bicycle to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China to find Qitao. However, when I came to the dormitory, his classmates told me that Qi Tao had dropped out of school a week ago and went home.

It seems that my worst fears have happened.

August 18, 1991

When I went back to my hometown to visit my parents, I was very worried when I learned that Qitao had been locking himself up at home and staying at home. It's definitely not the way to go, and I'll have to talk to him.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Qi Tao has lost a lot of weight, his cheeks are sunken, and he is so sluggish that I almost don't recognize him.

I asked him why he dropped out of school and why he gave up on himself. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said to me: "Without Tianyu, what is the point of me working hard?" ”

I said, "Tianyu doesn't want to see you look so decadent now." ”

Who knew that he laughed, laughed and laughed and cried, "Then why did she leave me?" ”

I'm speechless, I want to know the answer, but who can tell me?

October 3, 1991

I heard that Qi Tao finally took the first step bravely. Although he said that he would not come to the city to study, it was a good choice to become a teacher in the town. As long as he no longer gives up on himself and can face the future life, simple and ordinary days may not be unhappy.

Uncle Qi found a partner for Qi Tao in the neighboring village, and the two had a good relationship, and after meeting a few times, they decided to make a lifelong event. Hopefully, new feelings will take him away from the shadows of the past. As an older brother, I only wish him happiness.

6 February 1992

My wife was pregnant, and I couldn't sleep with excitement.

Sitting at the desk with the lamp on, I took out my notebook and suddenly wanted to give my baby a name.

If it's a girl, it's called summer, and if it's a boy, it's autumn, and these are my two favorite seasons. Originally, I also liked spring, but the season of rape flowers in full bloom reminds me of rain.

I heard that Qitao's wife has been pregnant for more than three months, and I don't know if their family is a boy or a girl. I really hope that the friendship between our two families can continue forever. Although we live in different places, hopefully, one day, they will have the opportunity to become friends.

27 November 1992

The daughter was born, and the burden on her shoulders was a little heavier, but her heart was full of joy.

Look closely, this kid is a little similar to Tianyu between his eyebrows and eyes, and he should be a beauty when he grows up.

25 July 1995

The school is out for the summer, so I go back to my hometown for a few days. The conditions are difficult, and I can't bear to toss them back with me. When my daughter is older and the transportation is more convenient, I will take her back to see.

In the evening, Qitao came to look for me at home, and as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol on him. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he had just returned from drinking at the house of Wang Zhiquan, the son of the village party secretary.

I know that these two usually have a good relationship, and sometimes they play chess together and drink some liquor or something. I was about to ask him how the battle was going tonight, but he suddenly closed the door, looked at me with a heavy face, and said, "Brother Tianhua, I know why Tianyu committed suicide by throwing himself into the river back then." ”

Hearing this, my whole body froze instantly, and countless question marks flashed through my mind.

Qi Tao staggered and found a chair to sit down, and took out a cigarette case and lighter from his pocket with a trembling hand. Maybe his hands were shaking too much, and he couldn't light the cigarette in his hand after fighting for a long time.

I walked over and helped him light his cigarette so that he could calm down and speak slowly. He took a few puffs of cigarette, choked and coughed, and gasped for a while before he spoke: "I was drinking at Wang Zhiquan's house just now, and he drank a little too much, and accidentally said something missing. In the spring of 1991, when we were both in college in the city, he knew that Tianyu would not like him, but he still chased Tianyu for a while. One night, he brought Tianyu to the rape field at the entrance of the village, where he gave Tianyu ...... "Qitao stopped talking, his eyes were full of anger and sorrow.

I immediately understood what he meant, and I felt my blood boiling all over my body. After doing it for a long time, Tianyu was killed by that bastard, no wonder Tianyu refused to say anything, and even didn't explain why she left us in the suicide note.

In our small, remote and backward village, people's thinking is very traditional and feudal. When Tianyu encountered such a thing, he neither dared to call the police, nor did he have the courage to confide the truth to his family, and finally chose to commit suicide with hatred.

"After Tianyu dies......" Qi Tao took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. Wang Zhiquan felt ashamed and didn't dare to mention the incident of that night to anyone. If it weren't for the fact that we drank too much and didn't control it just now, we would never know the real reason for Tianyu's suicide......"

"What are you going to do?" I asked Qi Tao.

He shook his head helplessly, but his tone was colder than ever. "I want him to bury Tianyu."

"Let's go call the police......"

"No!" Qi Tao suddenly shouted, "It's useless to call the police." It has been several years since that incident, Tianyu is dead, and Wang Zhiquan will not admit it when he wakes up. There's no way we can avenge Tianyu unless......" He looked at me seriously, and although he didn't say the next few words, we both knew each other.

"No, no." I waved my hand again and again, "Tao, don't do stupid things." Believe me, I won't let Tianyu die in vain. You give me a moment to think about it again. ”

Qi Tao thought for a moment in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said one word to me: "Okay." ”
