The identification results came out, and the identity of the corpse was determined that the deceased was really Du Lei. My mind was very confused, and I came to the morgue again, Du Lei's body was tightly covered with a corpse cloth, the forensic doctor and the criminal police did not follow up, and Jiang Jun was also waiting outside.

The medical examiner told me again and again before I was finally allowed to wear medical gloves and make an exception to enter the morgue alone. I stood quietly next to the morgue and looked at the white cloth covering Du Lei's body for a long time, and after a long time, I reached out to lift the corpse cloth, and Du Lei's face was exposed.

His face turned pale and blue, and as the time of death went by, the skin on Du Lei's cheeks collapsed downward, and the raised cheekbones were extremely obvious. Du Lei's eyes were closed peacefully, there was no unusual expression on his face, as if he was not thinking about anything in his heart when he passed away.

But I know that Du Lei will never let go of the world he lives in. Because of the special needs of our profession, compared with ordinary people, we often see the dark side of the world, and we are also more likely to see ugly human nature. Under the sun, there must be shadows, and the world we live in is an overlap of sunlight and shadows.

We have one foot in the light and the other in the darkness, and what we see before our eyes is not only the ugliest thing in the world, but also family, love and friendship. Du Lei can't let us go, if he really has no love in his heart, he won't leave those three notes. He can't let go of me and Xu Yi, two best friends who have been friends for many years, and he can't let go of the woman in his heart.

My tears fell, I don't know how many times I cried, I used to think that I could help many people out of the darkness and accept the punishment and baptism of the light, but I found that I could not even protect the people closest to me. Xu Yi is gone, Du Lei is dead, I don't know if there will be more painful things that will happen to me next.

My life has been disrupted.

Through the thin medical gloves, my hand gently touched Du Lei's face. It was cold, without a trace of temperature, and the coldness passed through the medical gloves, from my fingertips to the depths of my heart, and my back was cold, and my whole body involuntarily shivered.

Du Lei seemed to be asleep, but no matter how I called his name, he didn't open his eyes. His eyes became more and more hazy, Du Lei's face was imprinted in my misty pupils, I couldn't see clearly, his face became more and more distorted, more and more blurred, until two huge teardrops fell on the ground of the morgue.

The morgue was quiet and there was no sound at all. I seemed to hear the sound of the two teardrops falling to the ground and then shattering, and I subconsciously lowered my head, and the two teardrops had already melted on the floor of the morgue. The temperature was so low that I could hear someone calling me in my ears.

I turned around, and the morgue was full of morgues, and there were still a few scattered corpses lying on the morgue. The voice, it seems to be Du Lei's, I sat on the ground with my back against the morgue, yes, someone was indeed calling me, it's just that the voice came from memory.

I met Du Lei in a shooting class, and Du Lei's strange gun posture was reprimanded by the instructor, which attracted the attention of all the students in the class. In the shooting range, the sun was abundant, Du Lei's smiling face was as bright as the sun, and when he was resting, Du Lei took the initiative to find me.

He asked me about the position of holding the gun, and I patiently explained it, although he was never able to change his exclusive position of holding the gun. Since then, whether it is forensic medicine or trace science, Du Lei often asks me for advice, and in conversation after conversation, I learn about Du Lei's life experience.

Both parents died, which reminded me of my father, including Xu Yi, the three of us were able to come together, and we also had the same background factors. Du Lei's smile, we will never forget, in the eyes of Xu Yi and me, Du Lei never seemed to be upset, until he told us that he was in love.

I don't know when Du Lei learned to be upset, the smile on his face became less and less, and Xu Yi and I comforted him more and more. My mind is much more mature than my peers, and in my opinion, people are called human precisely because they have a wealth of emotions.

I didn't worry about Du Lei, because I think Du Lei has matured a lot, and yes, he has learned to hide his words in his heart.

"Li Ke......"

I heard Du Lei calling me, the voice came from memory, if I remember correctly, it was the last time Du Lei called me. On the winter night of that year, there was heavy snow in City B, and the temperature was much cooler than usual.

The night before Du Lei and Xu Yi disappeared, the three of us walked in the snow, leaving three deep footprints on the ground. I held Xu Yi, Du Lei put his hands in his pockets, he lowered his head, did not speak, and when he said goodbye, he told us that he decided to take time for us to meet Meng Ting.

At that time, our impression of Meng Ting only stayed in Du Lei's mouth, Du Lei told us that Meng Ting was a gentle and generous girl, and now it seems that it is indeed true. Du Lei said that he first had the idea of wanting to protect a woman, and in his impression, the concept of mother has long since disappeared.

Therefore, Meng Ting is not only his lover, but also his relative.

Xu Yi and I agreed, Du Lei waved goodbye, and Xu Yi and I saw Du Lei leave. He walked forward step by step, his hands in his pockets, his back stretched under the street lamp, his figure getting smaller and farther and farther away, until he passed a street corner and we could no longer see him.

Xu Yi and I turned around, and within a few steps, we heard Du Lei calling us.

"Li Ke!" When we turned around, Du Lei was standing under the street lamp, and he was far away from us.

A snowy winter night is silent.

I asked him what was wrong from a distance of more than ten meters.

"I hope you can like Meng Ting!" Du Lei smiled, under the background of the street lamp, his smile was bright, warmer than the warm sun in winter. Every word he uttered, a white mist melted.

That was the last time Du Lei and I met before his death, and that sentence was also the last sentence he said to me.

The next day, the fluttering snow stopped, and the entire city of B was shrouded in a blanket of white ice and snow. That day, when the sun came out, Xu Yi and I went out at the police academy. The bus stop was unusually crowded, and Xu Yi's fair and clean face was red from the cold, so I took off the scarf around my neck and wrapped it around Xu Yi's neck.

Seeing Xu Yi get on the 330 bus, I walked towards the police academy step by step, at that time, I didn't expect that Xu Yi would be gone for several years.

When I was in the office of the police academy, Xu Yi called me, and she told me that the unit was working overtime temporarily. I'm not worried, because in the past, when I worked overtime, Du Lei would send Xu Yi back. I told Xu Yi that I would wait for him at the bus stop.

Late at night, Xu Yi called me again, and Xu Yi said that he and Du Lei would be there soon, and asked me to wait. But that wait was a whole night. Xu Yi's mobile phone couldn't get through, and there was no one to answer the call to Xu Yi's unit, and I kept staring at the dark distance, looking forward to the last 330 bus to appear in my sight.

The people are gone, and the cars are gone......

I don't know how long later, the knock on the door brought my thoughts back, and the medical examiner and the criminal police walked in, and they saw me slumped on the floor and told me to mourn. The police told me that the body would be kept in the identification center until it lost all investigative value, and since Du Lei had no relatives, the question of what to do with the body fell on me.

I was silent for a long time, and finally decided to bury Du Lei locally. Du Lei has been adrift for a long time, and I don't want him to suffer again after he dies. Du Lei once told me that in his heart, home is an ethereal concept, he has no parents, so there is no home, or rather, every place is his home.

I took one last look at Du Lei and personally covered the corpse cloth. I put away the gloom in my heart, and reason told me that now is not the time to mourn, I have to find out how Du Lei died first.

When I came out of the morgue, the police finally told me that they had found the suspected source of the coffin, and in order not to startle the snake, the police pretended to be the person who bought the coffin and entered the store to confirm that the coffin sold in the store was exactly the same as the coffin of Xu Yi's family in terms of wood and shape.
