Chapter 36: The Silence of the Lambs (Part II)

1.

@呓语者:

An immature question: What can a person do for the most important woman in his life? To what extent?

……

……

……

2.

"Miss Hu Meiqin, can you tell me what Fu Sizhe said on the phone half a month ago?"

Zhu Ansheng looked solemn.

Hu Meiqin spat out the last puff of cigarette and looked around, there was no trash can.

She opened the car door, took out an ashtray from the driver's seat, put the cigarette butt in it, and handed the ashtray to Zhu Ansheng casually.

She folded her arms and leaned against the car door, her eyes closed.

"Didn't say anything."

"He just called and asked if we could meet, and there were some things he wanted to explain in person."

"We were divorced for so many years, and I had my own family business, so I didn't pay much attention to that phone call at the time. Unexpectedly, he died half a month later. ”

Hu Meiqin sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Now that I think about it, maybe there's something hidden in it. I don't know why he contacted me, but I think it may have something to do with our eldest daughter, who is studying and living abroad. ”

Zhu Ansheng's mouth gradually opened, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"You ...... Have a daughter? ”

3.

"Ying'er ......"

Liu Yan's eyes were distracted, and he unconsciously grabbed her shoulder.

"You make it clear, your sister...... What is it called? ”

Fu Ying'er was stunned, her face showed confusion, looking at the shocked expressions of the two, she felt a little uneasy inexplicably in her heart, hesitated, and whispered:

She ...... It's called Fu Qing, is there any problem? ”

Shi Zuocai stood up silently, turned around, and walked quickly downstairs. Liu Yanshi wanted to stop him, but he was in a hurry, and there was no one in the blink of an eye. She pursed her lips anxiously and asked Fu Yinger:

"Can you tell me about your sister? Ying'er? ”

4.

"We all made a serious mistake."

Zhu Ansheng sat up on the sofa and folded his hands on his eyebrows. On the coffee table in front of him was an unburned pipe.

Xia Liang was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"We're stuck in habitual thinking. No one thought that Fu Sizhe also had an eldest daughter abroad. ”

Xia Liang remembered the Weibo message that Zhu Ansheng saw when he cracked the computer, from the "whisperer".

He once suspected that the woman referred to in Fu Sizhe's article was Fu Ying'er and Fang Qing. Zhu Ansheng gave another new direction of investigation - perhaps Fu Sizhe's ex-wife.

But everyone was wrong.

Xia Liang clenched his fists quietly and muttered:

That is to say...... Fu Sizhe's foreign transfer was to his eldest daughter......"

5.

didn't return to the classroom, Shi Zuo rushed out of the school gate directly.

On the way to the Cuiyuan apartment, scenes of the past came to mind.

When Fu Ying'er first transferred to another school, she couldn't hide the uneasiness and hesitation on her face.

When Liu Yanshi turned her head and took a bite of the croissant in her hand, her face swept crimson.

When Liu Yanshi recounted her friendship with Fu Yinger, there was inexplicable hostility in Fu Yinger's eyes.

At the barbecue stand, the conversation was full of childishness and declared sovereignty.

The most brilliant part of Fu Yinger's acting is not the "having an older brother" scene......

It's the bridge of "she as a sister".

Shi Zuocai made a huge mistake.

He had never been exposed to such love, imprisoned by habitual thinking.

When he saw the word "green", he instinctively took it as a male name.

When he saw Fu Yinger's play, he instinctively regarded her as a brother fetish.

He paid the price for his negligence, and he missed the truth of the whole affair.

He ran wildly, crossed the entrance and exit gates of the community, and rushed straight towards his residence.

He ran out of the elevator, pulled out the key, and opened the door.

He threw himself in front of his workbench, opened his laptop, and clicked on the documents hidden deep in the folder.

6.

"I'll show you something."

Zhu Ansheng took a red double happiness from the table, put it to his mouth, stood up, and walked into the reception room.

After a while, he pulled out a laptop and clicked on the document on the desktop.

Xia Liang subconsciously held his breath.

7.

Sunny, Ying'er.

I have to go. This is a decision that I have been thinking about for a long time and thinking about for a long time.

Excuse me, I'm sorry. For the frustration my family has experienced during this time, and for my selfish departure.

You may not forgive me. But for me, and perhaps for you, this is the only way to let the dust settle.

Please also believe that I have many regrets in my life, but this time I have no regrets. I have left three insurance policies and the beneficiary is Yinger. When I'm gone, you mothers and daughters will be able to live a stable life.

Qing, don't blame yourself for this. You should live happily according to your own wishes.

Ying'er, there is still a long way to go, may you have a good life.

8.

"Fu Sizhe, in fact, he knows everything."

Zhu Ansheng spit out a puff of cigarette and leaned back on the sofa, his eyes gradually becoming illusory.

He whispered:

"Every word in this last word is meaningful."

Xia Liang looked at the text blankly, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, asking:

"Brother-in-law...... How did you find this thing? ”

Zhu Ansheng sighed.

"Before returning the computer to Fang Qing, I asked an acquaintance to repair all the deleted documents in the computer once."

He paused, and then said:

"This passage was last revised in the early morning of October 11."

Xia Liang's lips opened slightly.

"I don't understand ......"

He suddenly muttered and looked at his brother-in-law in confusion:

"The only way to let the dust settle...... What does it mean? ”

"Refers to ......" Zhu Ansheng sat up, took over the computer, and said calmly:

"He didn't commit suicide to avoid responsibility."

“…… Rather, it was because he had to commit suicide. ”

He moved his mouse and brought up another document.

9.

The phone rang, he pressed it to connect, and the sound of Liu Yan's vision came from his ears.

"Only when the left is ......"

There was a faint nasal tone in his voice.

"Uncle Fu...... We all ...... Blame him......"

She told the story on the phone.

Under her inquiry, Fu Yinger confessed about her sister Fu Qing.

She didn't know the specifics, but she heard from her sister that she used to work for a financial company on Wall Street. Then he found himself involved in a huge economic fraud. But a few days ago, the deadline for repaying the loan had passed, and she was still safe.

Finally, Fu Yinger mentioned another thing.

She specially came to find Shi Zuocai and Liu Yanshi to talk together, not just to thank her.

Yesterday, Fu Sizhe's estate was distributed, and Fu Yinger received a letter left by Fu Sizhe.

There was no address on the letter, no date, only the word "smoke" written in the recipient's place.

Fu Ying'er handed the letter to Liu Yanshi.

When opened, the letter contained only a short sentence.

10.

"God gave them the face they wanted, all the riches in the world, and the supreme wisdom, but they wanted to let go of the devil in the box."

11.

This sentence...... What is the meaning? ”

Xia Liang asked confusedly.

Zhu Ansheng didn't speak, and after a long time, he sighed silently.

"I didn't want you to know too much about this."

The allusion to this phrase comes from Greek mythology, the story of Pandora...... At the same time, it is also a code code for an international criminal organization. ”

Zhu Ansheng muttered a little embarrassed:

"In my years as an Interpol, I fought against this organization a lot. But the foundations of this organization are everywhere, and it is already an underground behemoth that no one can uproot it. ”

"This organization...... Does it have anything to do with Fu Sizhe? Xia Liang asked.

"It has nothing to do with Fu Sizhe, it has something to do with his daughter Fu Qing."

Zhu Ansheng explained:

"I've been investigating this information for more than a week. Finally, I found some clues in the financial reports on Wall Street. You don't have to know the specifics...... To put it simply, this organization has hatched a financial fraud on Wall Street. Fu Qing was swept up and became one of hundreds of innocent scapegoats. ”

Xia Liang was stunned.

Zhu Ansheng exhaled and said softly:

"She owes a huge debt of unknown origin that she can't pay off on her own. Even calling the police is useless, because the perpetrator cleverly exploits the loopholes in the law, and the contract she signed is of formal interest. ”

"Over the years, Fu Sizhe has been mediating everywhere and trying to find ways to raise funds......"

“…… In order to save his daughter. ”

But that debt is actually a bottomless pit, and Fu Sizhe can't fill it...... So he came up with a solution. ”

"He asked his daughter to send him the original copy of the contract, and transferred the identity of the signatory of the contract to himself through some unseemly means."

Zhu Ansheng paused.

"Then, die in his daughter's place."

12.

"You already know so many things with this mythological allusion alone, don't you?"

Shi Zuocai indifferently interrupted Liu Yanshi's narration.

On the other end of the phone, her eyes were red, she was speechless, and she quietly pursed her lips:

"I ......"

"I don't want to enjoy your deceptive performance anymore, Liu Yanshi." Shi Zuocai said calmly and quickly, and was silent for a while:

“…… If there's anything, I'll talk about it next time. ”

He hung up the phone and slumped back in his chair, looking exhausted.

After a while, he forcibly suppressed the manic depression in his heart, and combed the clues that he had missed little by little.

The first thing I recalled was the note that Fu Sizhe left for his wife and daughter.

Fu Sizhe, in fact, knows everything.

He was once thought to be a coward.

In the eyes of his colleagues, he is a good old man who is bullied.

In the eyes of his wife, he is a husband who has no sense of responsibility.

In the eyes of his daughter, he is a sluggish father.

In Liu Yanshi's eyes, he was a Muggle who would never get into platform 93/4.

In the eyes of the former Shi Zuocai, he was the embodiment of Dongshi who was ruined by the Kyogen Master.

In Mr. Demon's eyes, he is a ridiculously ridiculous keyboard warrior.

But he's not. He carried it all in silence and made decisions that no one could have predicted.

Shi Zuocai remembered that Liu Yanshi had said that she decided to return to China from Australia to study, and the visa was handled by Fu Sizhe.

She also said that Fu Yinger's invitation to her home was Fu Sizhe's idea.

Fu Sizhe had already calculated everything.

Because only by taking all the loans on behalf of Fu Qing and then dying, can all things be settled.

He had been thinking about this plan for a long time.

He bought three death insurance policies early, wanting to cause an accidental death - the insurance money paid was enough for Fang Qing's mother and daughter to live.

But he never carried it out, perhaps because he couldn't think of a safe way to die unexpectedly.

He was afraid that his death would be judged as suicide, and in that case, Fang Qing and Fu Ying'er would most likely fall for the rest of their lives.

It wasn't until he heard that Liu Yanshi was going to return to China that his plan took a new turn.

The eldest daughter Fu Qing's loan repayment date was approaching, and he calmly helped Liu Yanshi go through the transfer procedures and asked Fu Yinger to invite her to his home. On a sunny Saturday morning, he locked himself in his study, taped the cracks in the door, and pulled out the charcoal basin hidden in the closet.

He lit the charcoal basin. He sat back on his desk, turned on his computer, took out a note, and copied the suicide note he had already prepared on the document.

Put it in an envelope. Flip it upside down.

On the back is written - "Do not call for help".

He believed that Liu Yanshi could read the meaning of the letter.

He owes too much to Yoo's parents. Even if maybe for her, a few million is nothing, he can't let Liu Yanshi take care of Fang Qing's mother and daughter for the rest of his life.

He believed in Liu Yanshi. Perhaps, for him, if there is really a way to change "suicide" into "accidental death" in the world, Liu Yanshi can't do it, no one can do it.

Therefore, he also made arrangements early. He left a letter to Yoo in his inheritance. The letter contained the code words of the organization, and he knew that with the ingenuity of Liu Yanshi, he would understand the ins and outs of everything. This can be regarded as the last explanation he can give to Liu Yanshi.

There are no winners in this game.

Mr. Demon's double secret room calculated the task force, and Shi Zuocai's "scapegoat" calculated Zhu Ansheng, until everything settled, people knew that Fu Sizhe, who had died at the beginning of the game, calculated everyone.

Shi Zuocai never dared to imagine that there would be people in the world who were so cruel to him, nor did he know that there would be such a wonderful love in the world.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt creepy and shocked. Whether it is in his layout with Mr. Demon, or in Fu Sizhe's own layout, "Fu Sizhe" is only regarded as a quantitative symbol, not a living person.

But if you look at the whole thing from another angle, the picture is completely different.

From a certain period of time, Fu Sizhe knew that his death was approaching.

He is not a symbol, not a puppet held by a thread. He is a living person with his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

He knew deep down that he was going to die someday in the near future, but he didn't tell anyone.

He just lived his life calmly and alone.

From that moment on, everything he said and did after that was given the meaning of a countdown. He reminded his daughter in a text message to celebrate her grandfather's birthday, which may be the last time he celebrates her grandfather's birthday; He heard about the delicious restaurant, and happily agreed with his wife and daughter to taste it, which might be the last time he would have dinner with his wife and daughter.

But all this, the people he loves will not know. He only relied on his lonely courage to remain silent and come to the end of his life.

He is still an honest man who is easy to bully in the mouth of his colleagues, still a father and husband who are not angry in the eyes of his wife and daughter, and still a whisperer who chases his long-cherished wishes in the online world.

He may have heard about his wife in the gossip of his neighbors, or he may have realized her concept of love in his daughter's words. He remained silent, even until the last moment of his life, and his last words were still wishing them happiness.

Early in the morning on October 11th. It was the last hours of his life.

He may have heard Fang Qing banging on the door, and heard Liu Yanshi and Fu Ying'er's laughter.

At that time, he may have been listening quietly through the door of his study.

With the flip of the lock, he could return to the world over there.

What kind of mood did he feel when he took sleeping pills?

No one knows anymore.

But he didn't come back.

He didn't have it after all.

There is no understanding, there is no identification. Without companionship, there is no salvation.

There is no peace, there is no way, there is no way back, there is no hope.

Fu Sizhe used his own way to protect this small home.

Like the silent scapegoat.
