Chapter 37: The Mystery of the Death of the Little Uncle 2
Anne Chang slowly woke up from her dream, lying on the bed, her eyes hadn't opened yet, just by her sense of smell, Anne Chang already knew that her mother was by her side, because Anne smelled a smell of Chanel No. 5.
That's the perfume my mom always loved to use.
Legend has it that in Mademoiselle Chanel's own words: "This is what I want, a very different perfume, a woman's perfume."
A fragrant, unforgettable fragrance that is as strong as a slap in the face. ”
But Anne felt that Chanel No. 5 smelled very similar to the Rokugami flower water that Anne sprayed almost every day in summer. That's right, it's the feeling of Rokugami Flower Water. Chanel No. 5 is also said to be the favorite of the sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe.
Anne opened her eyes and turned her head to see her grandmother sitting on the bed, her back against the head of the bed reading "In Praise of Hymn", Anne looked at the floor-to-ceiling window again, her mother was applying makeup on the sofa in front of the window, only to see her mother with long brown curls, and at the moment she was gently applying earth-colored eyeshadow with her fingers, Anne got up from the bed, her messy hair was scattered, and she was in a daze.
"Nini, awake?" Mom said softly to Anne as she applied her eyeshadow.
"Well, Mom, where's my aunt?"
"Auntie is taking a bath in the next room!"
"Nini, hurry up, Mom will clean it up immediately. We'll be out in a moment. ”
"Oh!" Anne rubbed her sleepy-eyed eyes and got out of bed, her feet on the hotel carpet.
"The slippers are under the bedside table, put the slippers on, quickly wash up, and go to the first floor for breakfast after washing!"
Anne took the hotel's disposable slippers from under the bedside table, put them on, Anne took the toiletry bag from her school bag and walked to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, Anne picked up the toothbrush, squeezed a little toothpaste, began to brush her teeth, brushed her teeth, and suddenly found that she forgot to bring facial cleanser, so she peeled off the disposable soap in the bathroom, wet the bubbles in the water, and wiped it on her face, Anne still followed the method of using facial cleanser to the left three circles, and the right three circles kept wiping with her fingers, and then turned on the faucet Anne did not screw to the hot water, the cold water was flushed, and the face was washed with cold water in late autumn, which felt that it was called a cool, and when Anne came out of the bathroom, the aunt had already come in.
"Sister, give me your lipstick."
Mom didn't speak, pointed to the makeup bag with her eyes, and motioned for her aunt to take it herself.
"Why is your lipstick all the same color?"
"What color do you want?" Mom raised her eyes and glanced at her aunt as she held the golden tube of the CT with her right index finger and thumb, lightly applied the soft lips, and gently applied the lipstick evenly with the ring finger of her right hand. In his left hand, he holds a small vanity mirror.
Anne thought her mother's lipstick was beautiful.
"I see it's all bean paste color, I see you are bean paste color all year round! Haven't you ever used any other color? Auntie complained as she applied her mother's Chanel lipstick.
"My eldest lady, I want to go to work, I don't have your life, someone to raise, I wear a big red lip or something at work, and the leader thinks I have thoughts about others!" After putting on her makeup, Mom began to pack up her makeup and put it in her LV makeup bag in the same way.
"Pull it down, what to raise, just the salary of our old Liu, that is, I can't die of hunger, I, I'm miserable, who let me have no job." You see that you are either Tokyo or Yanjing all day long, flying all over the world, using either Chanel or LV......" The aunt said in a sour tone.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Mom said and put on a black trench coat and a square bag from CHANEL.
It's a double-layered flap with a metal chain that closes a square bag. That is, the well-known 2.55.
"Nini, pour a glass of water for grandma, and let grandma take the blood pressure medicine."
"Oh"
Anne hurriedly poured hot water from the kettle, the hot water was just boiled, very hot, Anne took the cup to the sink in the bathroom, poured half a cup, and then added half of the mineral water that she had poured last night.
Anne put the water in her mouth and tasted it, well, the temperature was just right, so she took the water cup, took it to grandma, and took two blood pressure medicine pills from the blood pressure medicine at the bedside, fed them into grandma's mouth, and watched grandma drink the water and swallow it.
"Mom, do you feel like you're in good shape?" Auntie asked worriedly.
"Mom, if your blood pressure is high, you can stay in the hotel with Nini, don't go, on that occasion, I am worried that you will not be able to stand it." Mom said as she stood beside her grandmother's bed with concern.
"Let's go!" Grandma finally spoke, and she had barely spoken since yesterday. Nini is worried to death!
Out of the hotel door, Anne's family took a taxi and drove in the direction of the North Country Spring City Funeral Home.
Anne sat in the passenger seat, looking out the window with a sideways face, and the streets of the Great Wall in the morning were bustling with people.
Everyone walking on the street doesn't know what their fate will be when they reach their next destination, but people are busy running towards their next goal.
Anne thought to herself as she looked at the people and scenery along the way.
Every day in this world, new people are born and old people die. This is the most normal thing for all healthcare workers. Maybe it's because they watch those who have nothing to do with them leave this world every day, many people always think that they can see through the things between life and death, but it wasn't until the people around them left them with the change of fate that they felt a trace of sadness and sadness.
Although Anne had never met her uncle and had not spoken to her uncle on the phone, Anne still had a trace of inexplicable sadness in her heart at this moment, perhaps because Anne was too young to experience life and death.
It was only after that day that Anne learned part of the truth about her uncle's death, whether her uncle's death was an accident or a suicide, of course, it doesn't matter at all now.
After several days of inspection and evidence collection by the Public Security Bureau, there is still no sufficient evidence to say that the mysterious death of the uncle is a murder.
Although the police had revealed a lot of suspicions, there was no way to argue for it, and the evidence of the uncle's suicide was more than the evidence of murder, so in the end, the police, at the request of the director of the central hospital, temporarily came to the conclusion that it was a pure suicide, so that the uncle's body could be put into the crematorium as soon as possible and be peaceful.
The police officers of the Public Security Bureau did not seem to agree with the conclusion of the suicide, but due to pressure from many parties, the case had to be closed in the end.
Uncle Xiao is a surgeon in the hospital, and the colleagues in the hospital feel very inexplicable about the conclusion of Uncle Xiao's suicide, because no one who knows his colleagues and friends will think that Uncle Xiao's death was due to suicide, and they agree that Uncle Xiao's character is impossible to commit suicide, but they have no evidence that Uncle Xiao was murdered, so the cause of Uncle Xiao's death is always a mystery until the end.
After the case was closed, the uncle's wife brought the body back, and colleagues at the hospital began to talk more frequently in private. Even the little uncle's mother-in-law felt that the death of the little uncle was a little bizarre, so she did not allow her son-in-law's body to enter the house, but directly transported it to the crematorium for burial, preferring to spend more money than cause trouble.
The actions of the little uncle and mother-in-law made more people have ideas.
Some of my colleagues in the hospital where my uncle worked suspected that my uncle's wife and family knew the reason, while others thought that my uncle was killed by her mother-in-law's witchcraft, because they often heard that my uncle and his mother-in-law's family were at odds.
Anyway, as soon as the matter of the uncle was closed, and the hospital began to relax the blockade of news, what version of the story also floated out of the ears of the gossip people in the uncle's hospital.
My uncle has not been back to my grandmother's house for 8 years, and after the incident, a colleague from my uncle's hospital called my mother's unit to contact my uncle's family.
Today is my uncle's funeral day.
In the crematorium auditorium, Anne's ears were full of mourning voices slowly coming out of the auditorium, the sound of mourning was very rhythmic, and a few big pauses began again.
The body of the little uncle was placed in the auditorium, and the hall was crowded with people, on the left were the little uncle's colleagues, and on the right were the little uncle's wife and the family of the little uncle's wife.
It seems that my uncle's popularity is quite good when he is in the hospital on weekdays, so there are obviously more colleagues and relatives who came to the funeral today than my uncle's wife.
Anne followed her grandmother, mother and aunt, standing there quietly, and the atmosphere at the funeral couldn't help but make Anne cry.
In the crowd of her uncle's colleagues, Anne noticed a man who looked strange.
The man had a wide face and a very strong body. He didn't speak to anyone, just stood quietly, but Anne noticed that his eyes were dishonest, and from time to time he looked at everyone around him.
The two eyeballs are restless and scurrying around the world. Stayed for less than 10 minutes and left.
There is still some distance from the auditorium at the gate of the crematorium, this is the only crematorium in the northern spring city, the scale is very large, it takes more than half an hour to walk in the entire crematorium from the door, but it seems that it is impossible for someone to hang out in this kind of place.
It was Anne's first time at the crematorium, and even though it was daytime, it was still chilling.
People kept walking into the funeral hall one after another, and they bowed to the body of their little uncle and stood back in the queue of colleagues.
It was almost time for cremation, and the leaders of the little uncle's unit suddenly came, and the little uncle's wife's family seemed very excited, wiping their noses with tears in their eyes, and thanking the leaders for their concern.
"He's a good guy and shouldn't have left us so early." The leader said.
Auntie and mother have already cried into tears, although Anne is also uncomfortable, but Anne is worried about Grandma's blood pressure rising, so she has been holding Grandma's hand tightly, Grandma did not cry, but Anne held Grandma's hand and clearly felt that Grandma was shaking all the time.
The last procedure of the funeral is that people each take a flower and walk around the glass coffin of the little uncle to see the deceased for the last time and offer him the last flower.
Anne pulled her grandmother slowly walked through the glass coffin of her little uncle, Anne didn't dare to look at her uncle's face, first, because she was afraid, and secondly, what she was thinking about was whether her grandmother's body could withstand it, she fainted with high blood pressure, and she had to protect her grandmother.
Anne didn't dare to look at the body, she could even hear her own heartbeat.
After the funeral that day, because there were other things to deal with, my mother stayed with my aunt and asked Anne to take my grandmother back to the hotel to rest first.
It was already cold in the northern spring city in late autumn, and Anne and her grandmother waited at the door of the funeral home for a long time, and there were countless taxis driving past them, but they refused to stop to pick them up.
Wait~ah~wait~
When we finally got a taxi to pull us, Anne put her arms around her grandmother and got into the car and left the funeral home.
