Chapter Two Hundred and Four: Funeral
"Here is buried a great man, but also an ordinary person, a grandfather who is amiable in the eyes of children, a man who bears everything in the eyes of his friends, a detective who is discerning in the eyes of criminals, and an approachable dean in the eyes of colleagues."
"I can't tell enough about his deeds for a few days and nights, and as a friend, he is undoubtedly a hero in my mind. Because as an ordinary person, he has been silently striving for the happiness of all ordinary people in the world all his life. ”
"No one can fully describe his efforts today. While we are all sad that life is short, he has created a brilliant picture in his own life, leaving many bright marks behind him, which will illuminate the way forward for those who come after him in the long future. ”
"He made us really understand that we can also shine in the ordinary, true beauty."
"Here, as his friend, I implore everyone to remember"
"His selflessness"
After Dafang finished speaking, he bent down and grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on Chen Zhaosheng's coffin, and everyone stepped forward one by one to offer flowers and sprinkle the soil.
In the end, Chen Xuan silently buried Chen Zhaosheng's coffin with a shovel.
There were not many people who attended Chen Zhaosheng's funeral, and Chen Xuan only invited some neighbors who had a good relationship with Chen Zhaosheng, as well as some old employees of the orphanage, including Bian Hui.
Dafang and his entourage were also among them, and after the funeral was completed, Dafang asked Wang Chen to leave here with a few people.
At the same time as they left, a flying machine landed not far away, and a woman wearing a black veil walked out of it, and the woman was none other than Cheng Li.
She silently walked to Chen Zhaosheng's tomb, placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, and after three minutes of silence, she walked over to Dafang.
"Mr. Dafang, although this occasion is not very suitable, I still want to ask, Li Yan and Ruan Jie, have you found it?" Cheng Li asked in a somewhat sad tone.
Dafang looked at Cheng Li's haggard face through the black veil, shook his head and said, "For the time being, not yet, but I believe that the murderer of the child will definitely be caught, please rest assured." ”
Cheng Li closed her eyes, covered her mouth with her right hand, and after a long time, she barely managed to collect her emotions and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”
Cheng Li turned around and wanted to leave, but Dafang stopped her and said, "Ms. Cheng, I have some questions about Chen Zhaosheng to ask you, do you have time now?" ”
Cheng Li shook her head and said: "I'm sorry Mr. Dafang, Mr. Chen is a person I respect very much, I can't stabilize my emotions now, Xiao Mao's matter makes my brain very messy, if you have to ask something, can you change it to the day after tomorrow?" I am currently living in Lu Zhanliang's house, and you can come to me at any time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll come to you the day after tomorrow." Nodding generously.
Everyone came to say goodbye to Chen Xuan and Dafang one by one, and Bian Hui did the same, she didn't say a word about the donation, and there was nothing else on her face except for the heaviness of the funeral.
After the people were almost gone, Dafang took out a chip from a free account and said: "Give this chip to Bian Hui, just say that it is my first donation, and help me investigate the hospital in the orphanage, you go inside and take a look, carefully look for anything special, but don't let people find out." ”
Chen, who had been hiding his figure on the side, nodded after taking the chip from Dafang's hand, and the two of them, with Man Hong, secretly followed Bian Hui's car and set off towards the orphanage.
"Do you remember your father's story clearly?" Dafang said to Chen Xuan, who was silent on the side.
Chen Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't remember the specifics, I just remember that when I was a child, he always took me to the orphanage to play with other children, and after my father died, I was only 6 years old." ”
"What about Chen Zhaosheng? Do you remember what happened to him? Dafang asked again.
Chen Xuan said: "At that time, my grandfather was very lonely, and soon after my father died, he resigned from his job as the director of the orphanage, and he was always at home behind closed doors, and rarely went out again. ”
"My grandfather was killed by the remnants of Sin, my great-grandmother and grandmother all died in that attack, and my father was the only one who survived."
"That was the biggest attack in the history of the Guilty Star, I heard that Qin Sheng personally took action to calm it down, and almost wiped out the remaining high-level officials, and only the two Guilty Star Princes escaped."
"There is also a legend that Qin Sheng deliberately used a large number of innocent star ordinary people as bait, just to lure out the remnants of these evil stars."
"My great-grandfather raised my father by himself from then on, and he eventually followed my great-grandfather to serve as an assistant to the director of the orphanage."
Dafang didn't say a word after hearing this, and only asked after a moment of silence: "Do you have any memories of that fire?" ”
"No, I was too young at the time, but I remember that my grandfather came to me the next day and told me that my father had died and had been burned to death."
"I was a kid at the time, I only knew how to cry, he just kept comforting me and wouldn't come to explain anything to me. It wasn't long before my mom got married and rarely came back to the house, but she probably knew a little about it. ”
"Give me your mother's address." Generous way.
"Why don't I take you there, she doesn't know you either."
So Dafang took Chen Xuan to Fang Jingtang's flying machine, and Fang Jingtang was immediately assigned as Dafang's full-time driver after reporting to Lu Zhanliang about Dafang and Qin Haoran's identity as a distinguished guest. Fang Jingtang is very happy about this, as an ordinary person, if he can have even a little relationship with Qin Haoran, it is worth paying a huge price for a small person like him, not to mention just being a driver and chatting and shopping, Fang Jingtang only hates himself for not being a beautiful woman now, and even hates himself for not being a beautiful man, as for why only he knows.
Maybe the genetic optimization agent announced by Fa Rutian before his death can improve his appearance? Fang Jingtang couldn't help but unfold complex associations, or a hint of longing.
The flying machine was very fast, and soon after it arrived in front of Chen Xuan's mother's house.
Tuk tuk
Chen Xuan stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door, and a middle-aged woman opened the door, and when she saw Chen Xuan, her eyes showed a soft color.
After some introductions, the trio were ushered into the living room.
"I'd like to ask you about 20 years ago."
Chen Xuan's mother shook her head and said, "It's been too long, I've forgotten a lot of things, and I shouldn't be able to help you." ”
"It's okay, you can just remember it. Do you remember the news about that fire? ”
"I don't remember"
"How did the fire start and how many casualties there were?"
"I don't know."
"Did you behave anything out of the ordinary a few days before your husband died?"
“…… No" Chen Xuan's mother was silent for a few seconds and shook her head.
"What about Chen Zhaosheng? Is there anything unusual about him? ”
"Nope"
"And what about after that?"
"I don't remember," Chen Xuan's mother shook her head again.
Dafang frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't you attend Chen Zhaosheng's funeral today?" Chen Xuan informed you. ”
Chen Xuan's mother was silent.
"Mom, say whatever you know, this is a good friend of grandpa, very powerful, you just have to say it."
"I don't know! I don't know anything! Chen Xuan's mother shouted as if she was venting.
Soon, Chen Xuan's mother's current husband and children walked in briskly from behind, glaring at Dafang with anger on their faces.
"Your mother is very emotional now, why don't you take them back first." The current husband frowned at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan had no choice but to look at Dafang, Dafang nodded slightly, and the three of them could only leave here.
On the road, Jing Tang said: "This lady, she should know something, but she doesn't want to say it." There is very little information about the fire 20 years ago, but Mr. Ritsu may have some there, after all, his father also died in the fire, so why don't I go back and find it. ”
