Lu Guowei saw his daughter walking out of the man's room in pajamas, and his eyes suddenly sharpened, but he didn't ask anything.

"Uncle Xu lives in room XXXX on the first floor below." After Lu Li said this coldly to his father, he took it out and opened his room and walked in, and glanced at Lin Lin before closing the door.

Lin Lin didn't speak, he glanced at Lu Guowei and directly closed the door and went back to the room, leaving only Lu Guowei in the corridor with more and more complicated eyes.

He was surprised.

Yesterday didn't appear, Lu Guowei expected that Lu Li would react like this when he came back, what surprised him was of course not his daughter's reaction, but Lu Li actually walked out of Lin Li's house early in the morning.

Did they be in the same room last night?

Lu Guowei knew his daughter's temperament very well, he didn't go back to the room to ask Lu Li anything, turned his head and walked up the stairs to the floor below, found the room where Xu Wei was staying, and knocked on the door.

Xu Wei, who came to open the door, saw that it was Lu Guowei, and his expressionless face suddenly sank, and he watched Lu Guowei walk into the room without saying a word.

Lu Guowei opened his mouth first, "There was something to deal with last night, it was Lu Li who picked you up, you got up so early." ”

Xu Wei replied in a cold voice, "In the morning, I said to go to the funeral home with my child, she said that according to the custom here, I would bring breakfast to the people who left, and I would accompany her to see Linxi." ”

I didn't ask what Lu Guowei was doing yesterday at all.

Lu Guowei pulled over the chair and sat down, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said in his heart that it would be better if you didn't ask, he just didn't have to make up a story to explain.

When the two of them confronted each other silently in the room, Lin Lin and Lu Li downstairs were dressed and ready to go out, and soon met them at the elevator door.

Lu Li knew that his father must have gone to Xu Wei's room, so he didn't call Xu Wei, and he planned to go downstairs first to breathe and wait. Lin Lin contacted Lawyer Han, who also lived here, before he came out, and the two said that they would meet directly in the parking lot.

The elevator arrived, and the two walked in together.

"Do you have a lot of work today?" Lu Li looked at the elevator door and asked Lin Lonely.

"It's okay, I'll just rush back before noon after going to the detention center, how did you arrange it today." Lin Lin also asked back.

"After watching my mother come back, I went directly to Tianle Palace and waited, saying that there was a meeting in the afternoon, didn't Uncle Xu come, and the film crew was going to have a meeting."

The elevator reached the first floor and opened the door with a clang.

The two of them walked out of the elevator with their front and back feet, and there seemed to be nothing more to say, they greeted each other and separated in the hotel lobby, and Lin Lin went out to the parking lot.

Lu Li stood alone at the door of the hotel, taking several deep breaths in a row, and did not stop until he felt that his head was starting to dizzy when he felt overexerted.

Xu Wei didn't know when she would come down, Lu Li simply closed her eyes and recalled the matters that Song Yichen helped her inquire about yesterday, and she would send breakfast to her mother according to the custom here.

This "send breakfast", of course, is different from the breakfast where the living eat, Lu Li remembered that Song Yichen told her so, he said that "sending breakfast" is to go to the funeral home to buy candles and incense sticks, take these to the morgue, and after the staff pulls people out of the freezer, they light candles and incense, and finally kowtow to their relatives three times, and say a few words Let's eat.

Lu Li had never done this before, for fear that he would remember the process wrong, so he closed his eyes and read back and forth in his heart.

I don't know how many times I read it silently, there was a sound of footsteps in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, Xu Wei and my father Lu Guowei came out together.

Lu Li only looked at Xu Wei, "Uncle Xu, let's go, there is a minibus to the funeral home over there." Lu Li said and pointed to a waiting point not far from the hotel.

She didn't call Lu Guowei together, and after talking to Xu Wei, she went to the waiting point first.

Xu Wei agreed, turned his head and looked at Lu Guowei, "Don't you say that you want to go, let's go." Lu Guowei looked at his daughter's back and followed with Xu Wei.

When they arrived at the funeral home, as soon as they entered, they heard heart-rending cries, and a group of people gathered at the door of the morgue, and Lu Li couldn't get in for a while.

In the end, Lu Guowei squeezed in to talk to the staff of the funeral home, and took Lu Li and them in from another door to "bring breakfast" to He Linxi.

During the whole process, Lu Guowei and Xu Wei stood aside and watched Lu Li do things step by step, lighting candles, offering incense, kneeling down and kowtowing to eat...... Lu Li never cried from beginning to end.

However, when Xu Wei saw He Linxi's remains, tears flowed silently for a long time.

When the three of them came out, Lu Li asked Xu Wei if she had a cigarette, and she wanted to smoke one. When Xu Wei reached out for the cigarette, Lu Guowei had already handed a thin cigarette and a lighter to his daughter, "Smoke this." ”

Lu Li stared at the cigarette for a second, silently reached out to take it, lit it and took two puffs, spit out a large faint smoke.

Lu Guowei handed Xu Wei another cigarette, lit one himself, and the three of them stood in the funeral home and smoked together.

The first to finish smoking one was Lu Li, she threw the cigarette butt into the trash can not far away, and when she walked back, she saw Lu Guowei holding his mobile phone talking on the phone, and walking a little farther away with his back to him.

Lu Li returned to Xu Wei's side and saw that the cigarette butt of the cigarette in Uncle Xu's hand had been stored with a long section of cigarette ash, Xu Wei didn't seem to notice it, and looked ahead with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lu Li didn't bother him, his eyes stared at the cigarette ash in Xu Wei's hand for a while, bent down and lowered his head to blow on the cigarette ash, the cigarette ash instantly dispersed and was carried away by the wind, and Xu Wei also came back to his senses all of a sudden.

"Did you sleep well last night, are you hungry?" Xu Wei remembered what he heard from Lu Guowei in the hotel room, and asked Lu Li tentatively, wanting to see what she said to him.

"It's not good, I dreamed of my mother, and when I woke up in the morning, I went to the Lin Lonely House to talk for a while, I'm not hungry." Lu Li replied lightly.

Xu Wei remembered the conversation with Lu Li when he was in the Arctic Circle, but he didn't expect Lin Lin and her to meet and work together again in Qibao Town, and the fate of the two of them ...... I don't know if it's fate.

"Uncle Xu is hungry, let's go back and find a place to eat, and then go to Tianle Palace, I have to quickly familiarize myself with the team and start working." Xu Wei knew that Lu Li was in a stressful mood at the moment, he couldn't talk to her much at this time, and it was more important to distract her more at the moment, so that she didn't always fall into the emotions of a person's memories.

That's why he talked about the work of the film crew.

Lu Li glanced at Lu Guowei, who was still talking on the phone not far away, "I listened to Uncle Xu, my mother's work arrangements are all recorded in the notebook, the notebook is in my hand, and I will give it to you later." ”

"Okay." When Xu Wei heard Lu Li's answer, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or something else.

——

Just after half past eight, Lawyer Han walked into the detention center with his documents, and Lin Lin and Song Yichen stood side by side outside the cordon outside the detention center and waited.

On the way here, Lawyer Han received a phone call, and after listening to it, he told Lin Lin and Song Yichen that he had just received news that Uncle Song's case was going to be sent to the procuratorate for approval of arrest.

Song Yichen hurriedly asked what would happen next if the arrest was approved, and Lawyer Han explained it to him, and Song Yichen lowered his head and didn't make a sound after listening to it.

When waiting for lawyer Han, Song Yichen asked Lin Lin if his father was arrested to mean that the police had enough evidence to prove that his father had done those things that he turned himself in, and he could sentence his father.

Although Lin Lin knew some legal matters, he was not a professional after all, so he said to Song Yichen, "Don't worry, wait for Lawyer Han to come out and listen to what he has to say." ”

Song Yichen nodded, he looked at the closed door of the detention center in front of him, and felt a little relieved in his heart. He had a hunch that his father's case should be convicted.

It's just not sure what the sentence will be, whether it will be a direct death penalty. If the death sentence is suspended, will he not die, and my father will spend the rest of his life in prison.

When he was thinking about these uncertain possibilities in the future, he received a new WeChat message on his mobile phone, which was sent by Lu Li, a classmate from Fengtian, asking him for the specific time of arrival in Fengtian and preparing to pick him up.

Song Yichen's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and chatted with the other party about WeChat, he didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were unconsciously smiling when he replied to WeChat, all of this was seen by Lin Lin next to him.

When Lin Lin waited for Song Yichen to hold the mobile phone in his hand again and raise his head, he asked casually, "Zuo Na is going back to school today, the departure time is about the same as yours." ”

"Yes, let's go to the station together, and she got on the train half an hour later than me." Song Yichen replied.

Lin Lin said again, "How are you two doing?" ”

Song Yichen was just about to answer, and received a new WeChat on his mobile phone, he subconsciously went to look at WeChat first and didn't answer Lin Li's question, WeChat was still sent by Lu Li's classmate, but this time the content was to ask him about He Linxi's accident.

It seems that she only knew about this when she was busy writing papers in retreat, and it was still from the news, but she had just contacted Lu Li but she didn't get in touch, so she came to ask Song Yichen in a hurry.

"Brother, Sister Particle can't contact her, she asked me here, I'll reply to her first, brother, you can find Sister Particle." Song Yichen said, and directly called Lu Li.

Lin Lin also picked up the mobile phone and called Lu Li directly, and there was a prompt sound from the mobile phone that the other party could not be connected for the time being, Lin Lin felt awkward in his heart, and called Xu Wei again.

As a result, Xu Wei's was the same as Lu Li, prompting that it could not be connected for the time being.

Lin Lin was relieved now, he guessed that Lu Li should still be with Xu Wei, maybe the signal of their current location was not good, so they couldn't be contacted.

He turned his head to look at Song Yichen, who hadn't finished talking on the phone, and just happened to see him talking with a smile, Lin Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, retracted his gaze and continued to look at the closed door of the detention center.

After about half an hour, Lawyer Han finally walked out of the detention center, and Song Yichen immediately greeted him, asking if he had seen his father as he walked.

Lawyer Han looked at Lin Lian, and when he also came over, he said that he had seen Song's father today, and after Lawyer Han told him that Song Yichen was going to Fengtian today to prepare for the art exam, Song's father asked him to bring a message to his son.

"What did my dad say?" Song Yichen was even more anxious.

Lawyer Han, "Your father asked me to tell you, take the exam and go your own way, don't worry about this, you will have to pay the price if you do something wrong, and don't spend money to sue him again." ”

Song Yichen was stunned after hearing this.

"How is Uncle Song doing, have you eaten?" Lin Lin only spoke to Lawyer Han at this time.

"He promised me that he would eat today, and I saw that he was in a good mood, and I was relieved to hear that he might be arrested soon." Lawyer Han said, looking at Song Yichen, who was still stunned.

Leaving from the detention center, Lin Lin drove Song Yichen directly to the train station, and saw Zuo Na who had already arrived in the waiting room, Lin Lin told them a few words to pay attention to safety, and then hurried back to the relocation site of Tianle Palace.

Halfway through, he also sent away lawyer Han, who was about to return to the provincial capital to do business.

After returning to Tianle Palace and parking the car, Lin Lin called Lu Li again in the car, this time he heard the prompt tone of the call, it may be that the female classmate who couldn't be contacted before was talking to Lu Li, Lin Lin hung up the phone and got out of the car and went straight to the Wuji Palace.

But as soon as he reached the bottom of the steps of the Infinity Hall, he saw an unexpected person standing in the shade of a tree, waiting for him.

Qi Ju, who was wearing a black coat, was standing with the relocation team leader and two other young strangers, and when he saw Lin Lin coming over, Qi Ju looked at him with a smile.

Lin Lin walked up to Qi Ju, "Why are you here?" This is the second time he has seen this female director in more than two years, and she didn't say a word when she talked on the phone last night, and she would come to Qibao Town today.

Qi Ju looked at Lin Lin with a smile, "I haven't changed much, I'm just on the way, so I'll come over to see you first." ”

After the accompanying relocation team leader left, Qi Ju and Lin Lin went up the steps together and walked to the door of Wuji Palace, Lin Lin invited her to go in for a visit, Qi Ju shook his head and refused, "My eyes are not good, it's useless to go in, my time is limited, you can arrange to talk to me first." ”

Ten minutes later, Lin Lin walked out of the Wuji Hall and found a quiet corner with Qi Ju to talk.

The two young people brought by Qi Ju have been following them not far away, Lin Lin looked at them and said to Qi Ju, "I'm still afraid that I won't go." ”

Qi Ju laughed heartily, and immediately turned cold after laughing, "How is it in the detention center, if you need my help, just speak." ”

She knew all about this, Lin Lin looked at Qi Bureau, "Don't bother you, let's get to the point." ”

Qi Ju sighed and looked at the two people who were not far away, "Do you see them familiar?" They've been in the town since you returned to Shippo Town, and I sent them to protect you. ”

Lin Lin was a little surprised to look at the two young people again, he really didn't know, he thought that they were following the security work when Qi came to work, but he didn't expect that the object of protection was himself.

Qi Ju's face was a little more serious, and he began to talk to Lin Lin about the topic.

Almost half an hour later, Lin Lin raised his head to meet the dazzling bright afternoon sunshine, and replied softly, "I obey the arrangement, when will I leave?" ”

Qi Ju looked at Lin Lian's cold side face, "Tomorrow night, it can't be any more late." ”

——

At half past seven in the evening, Lu Li went to the funeral home with Xu Wei and his father to "send dinner" to He Linxi.

After coming back, they found a small restaurant to prepare for dinner, and Lu Li originally called Lin Lian, but Lin Lin said that he would come later and let them eat first.

When the film crew held a meeting in the afternoon, they talked about the arrangements for the farewell ceremony of He Linxi's body, Lu Li knew that this was an inevitable thing, she listened calmly throughout the whole process, and when Xu Wei asked her on behalf of the film crew what she wanted as a family member, Lu Li felt that she couldn't hold back for a moment.

She only made one request, hoping that on the day of the farewell ceremony, her mother's internationally awarded documentary could be played in the farewell hall.

The farewell ceremony was scheduled for the early morning two days later, according to the custom of Qibao Town.

When Lu Li sent a WeChat message to call Lin Lin to eat, she also told him about this time arrangement, she didn't ask Lin Lin if he would participate, she felt that it was too redundant to ask, and he would definitely go.

After waiting for Lin Lin for half an hour, he came to WeChat to tell Lu Li that he couldn't come, and asked her to help him pack some food and take it back to the hotel, and he would eat it later when he went back.

The three of them began to move their chopsticks, but they didn't talk much the whole time, and the meal was quickly finished.

Lu Li packed delicious food for Lin Lin and went back to the hotel, Xu Wei and Lu Guowei wanted to chat with her, but Lu Li said that he was sleepy and wanted to go back to lie down.

She really felt sleepy, but when she lay down, she couldn't sleep at all, so she had to close her eyes and think about things in bed.

After thinking about it, he thought of the time he spent with his mother in the past, and Lu Li was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions when he thought about it like this, so he quickly sat up and washed his face to distract himself.

She wiped her face and looked at the time, and saw the dinner packed for Lin Lin on the table, so she picked up her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to ask Lin Lin when she would come back.

Lin Xiao replied after a while, and in a short waiting time, Lu Li began to get nervous inexplicably, she always thought about the bad side, and always felt that the WeChat time of less than two minutes was very similar to before He Linxi's accident, and she always felt that she would hear bad news when she waited.

So when Lin Lin replied, she stared nervously at the phone screen, and it took a long time to see what Lin Lin said clearly, Lin Lin told her to go back to the hotel in an hour, and didn't say anything else.

For the next hour of waiting, Lu Li kept holding the phone to keep the screen on, and she didn't know why she was doing this, anyway, she felt good in her heart.

When forty minutes later, someone knocked on the door, Lu Li asked and knew that it was Xu Wei and her father who came over, and she said in a vague voice that she had fallen asleep and did not open the door for them.

She didn't want to talk to them, because when she saw them, she would think of He Linxi, and she was afraid to face them, so she chose to run away.

When the time was about to reach an hour, there was a knock on the door again, and it was Lin Lin who came back on time.

"You can eat at my place, and then go back to your room after eating." Lu Li opened the lunch box and took a bottle of water for Lin Lin and put it aside.

Lin Lin sat down and began to eat, Lu Li watched him eat, talked about talking on the phone with his female classmates, looked at the time, and said that Song Yichen should be able to reach Fengtian in five hours.

"It's probably early in the morning." Lin Lin said while eating.

"Well, Zona should be there soon, I'll ask." Lu Li said, sent a message to Zuo Na> Lin Lin turned on the water and took a sip, he looked at Lu Li who had lowered his hair on WeChat, knowing that she had been trying to distract herself, and knew that she was escaping from the painful emotions of remembering He Linxi.

He brushed the water from his lips and felt a bitterness in his throat. He opened his mouth several times to tell Lu Li about it, but in the end he didn't say it.
