Yao Jingjing put her head on Sergei's shoulder, and Sergei raised his hand to wrap his hand around Yao Jingjing's shoulder.

"Sergey, I feel that life is very good now, if only it could be like this forever." Staying by Sergei's side and lying in Sergei's arms made Yao Jingjing feel very relieved, she enjoyed her current life very much, and really hoped that time could be frozen here.

"Yes." Sergei said casually, but a hint of guilt and worry flashed in his eyes.

"Yao Jingjing, if people really have an afterlife, are you still willing to marry me?"

Yao Jingjing was stunned and was about to reply, but suddenly realized something, she looked up at Sergei and asked in surprise: "Sergei, what did you call me just now?" ”

Sergei looked down at Yao Jingjing and said with a smile: "Call you Yao Jingjing!" ”

That's right, I heard it right, it's Yao Jingjing, not Lilia. Yao Jingjing looked incredulous, and her eyes were full of joy.

"I thought you didn't remember my Chinese name. Since you came to Russia, you haven't called me by my real name anymore. Yao Jingjing suddenly felt a sour nose, and she couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart, and there was a trace of tears in her eyes. It's been almost five years since she married in Russia, and she has been living as a stand-in for Lilia. At first Sergei called her Lilia, she was uncomfortable, it was uncomfortable to hear, then she became numb, and then she accepted the name very calmly. She thought that Sergei had forgotten her real name, but she didn't expect Sergey to remember it all along.

Sergei gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Yao Jingjing's eyes, and said apologetically: "How could I forget your Chinese name." Jingjing, I'll call you Jingjing in the future, that's what your parents seem to call you. ”

Yao Jingjing smiled and nodded, she didn't know why Sergei suddenly didn't call her Lilia, but she was really happy at the moment.

"Jingjing, if there is an afterlife, are you still willing to marry me?" Sergey asked the question again.

Yao Jingjing thought for a moment and said with a smile: "If there is an afterlife, it is not impossible to marry you again, but I hope that in the next life, you will not be so old again, and it is best for the two of us to be the same age." And I don't want to be your second wife, I want to be your original wife. ”

"Hahaha, okay, that's it."

In the evening, the two set up a tent by the river, and Sergey specially prepared a program for bodyguards to set off fireworks on the river. The two sat by the river, Yao Jingjing lay in Sergei's arms, looking up at the colorful fireworks in the sky, the firelight reflected their smiling cheeks, this moment was so romantic and beautiful, time seemed to stand still, and happiness became eternal.

Late at night, sleeping in a tent, Yao Jingjing lay in Sergei's arms, and Sergei gently hugged Yao Jingjing. Yao Jingjing was very excited and said, "Sergey, it's the first time I've slept in a tent, and I have a mysterious feeling. ”

"yes, I took you out to play less often, so I should have taken you out for a walk more." Sergei's tone revealed a hint of regret.

"It's not too late now, in the future, when the epidemic passes, let's go on a global trip." Yao Jingjing naturally heard Sergei's regret and comforted her, but she didn't know that Sergei's eyes flashed with a trace of complicated feelings in the dark night.

In the evening of this day, Yao Jingjing had just finished bathing, wearing a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her head and walking out of the bathroom. Yao Jingjing was taken aback, what kind of sound is this? What's wrong? Where did it come from?

Without thinking much about it, Yao Jingjing changed into a nightgown and was about to dry her hair, when she heard someone outside the house shouting 'ah', and then a rush of footsteps came. Yao Jingjing was a little puzzled, did something happen? Then he opened the door and saw the maids running to the study one by one.

Yao Jingjing's heart couldn't help but chuckle, Sergei was in the study, could something have happened? Without thinking too much, Yao Jingjing also walked quickly to the study.

The study was crowded with people inside and outside, Yao Jingjing pushed aside the crowd and walked in, and at a glance she saw Sergei sitting at the desk slumped on the back of the chair, his head planted to the side, his right hand hanging down, and there were pistols scattered on the ground under his right hand.

Yao Jingjing's eyes widened in disbelief, and when she looked closely at Sergei's cheek, she found that there were two blood holes in his left and right temples. It is clear that Sergei died, was shot dead.

Yao Jingjing subconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, she couldn't believe the scene in front of her, what was the situation? Sergey is dead? How did Sergey die? Why so suddenly?

Maybe it was because the impact was too great, Yao Jingjing suddenly felt weak, and in an instant, her eyes went black, and the whole person fell to the ground.

I don't know how long later, when Yao Jingjing woke up again, she found her in her bedroom. She sat up and thought carefully about everything that had happened before she fell unconscious, her face was still incredulous, she couldn't believe that Sergei was so dead? How so? No, she'll have to make sure.

Without thinking much about it, Yao Jingjing quickly got out of bed and walked out of the room, and saw several Russian policemen standing at the door of the study. Yao Jingjing's heart chuckled, and the only bit of luck left in her heart was gradually disappearing at this moment. She walked slowly to the study with heavy steps.

As she approached the study, the police at the door stopped her, speaking in Russian she did not understand, as if not letting her in. Yao Jingjing resisted, trying to look into the room, and caught a glimpse that there was no longer Sergei at the desk, and the police in the room were investigating and collecting evidence. At this moment, Yao Jingjing's heart was completely cold, and she had to accept the fact that Sergei was indeed dead! At this moment, a male voice sounded behind him. Speaking Russian, Yao Jingjing ignored it, and then English sounded behind her.

"You're Mr. Sergei's wife, aren't you?"

Yao Jingjing was stunned, and when she turned around, she saw that it was a middle-aged man, he was not wearing a police uniform, and he was dressed in civilian clothes.

"Hello, my name is Nikolai, and I am the detective in charge of this case." The man showed Yao Jingjing his police officer ID and introduced himself briefly.

"Hello." Yao Jingjing's voice was low, and the whole person was still in shock and doubt, and her thinking was not clear.

"Can we find a place to talk?"

"Okay."

Yao Jingjing took Detective Nikolai to her bedroom and living room, and the two were sitting on the sofa at the moment. Yao Jingjing's heart was flustered, and she brushed her wet hair with her hand, fear filled her heart at the moment.

Yao Jingjing's every move, no expression escaped the eyes of Detective Nikolai, who carefully observed the Asian woman, trying to find a clue.

"What shall I call you?" Detective Nikolai was the first to ask questions, and took out a small notebook and ballpoint pen from his coat pocket and began to record.

"My name is Yao Jingjing and I'm from China."

"Mrs. Yao, when did you marry Mr. Sergei?"

"In 2015, in late June and early July, I followed Sergei to Russia."

"How's your relationship?"

"Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, we've been married for five years, and we've been separated for a year and a half in between. I stayed at the manor and he moved to the hotel. ”

"Can you tell me why?"

Yao Jingjing was slightly unnatural and said: "Because of some misunderstandings, he thinks I cheated in marriage." Later we reconciled. ”

"Mrs. Yao, as far as I know, there is a big age gap between you and Mr. Sergei, he is a full 35 years older than you, why did you choose to marry him?"

Yao Jingjing pursed the corners of her lower lip and responded, "Because of money." Our family is not very wealthy and needs money, and I look a little similar to Sergei's first wife, so Sergei proposed to me and gave me 5 million yuan as a bride price, and I naturally agreed. Yao Jingjing was already able to recount all this very calmly.

Detective Nikolai was not surprised, he had already guessed the reason.

"What are you doing around 8 p.m. tonight?"

"I was taking a bath in the bathroom, and as soon as I finished washing, I heard a loud noise, and I didn't know it was a gunshot at the time, but then I heard a lot of footsteps outside the house, and I was curious, so I went out to take a look, and I found that the maids were crowded in the study, and I went to the study to check, and I saw that Sergei was dead. I was so shocked that I fainted. When I woke up, it was already in my bedroom. ”

"Did Sergei behave in any way before today?"

Abnormal behavior? Yao Jingjing thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "He is the same as usual, he didn't notice anything abnormal. He also took me to Siberia for mountain climbing two days ago and we were all very happy. ”

"Sergei has three children, how do you get along with them?"

"Not very good. We don't usually mingle and only meet at family dinners. ”

"What is Sergey's relationship with his children?"

"That's naturally good, after all, there is a blood relationship."

"Do you know what kind of enemy Sergei has?"

Yao Jingjing shook her head and said, "He has already handed over the company to his eldest daughter, Sophia, to take care of it, and Sophia should know better what enemies he has in the business field." ”

"What does Sergey usually do? What's on offer? ”

"In the past, he used to go out early and return late, and during the day he would meet up with friends to climb mountains, fish, play golf, etc., and usually come back after dark. Later, in the last year or two, he didn't go out during the day, and basically stayed in the manor. ”

"Why doesn't he go out to see friends anymore?"

"I didn't ask him, but I guess it's because of me. Because I was separated from him for a year and a half, my mental state was not very good, and the doctor said that I had schizophrenia, which was rooted in loneliness and needed family company. Maybe it was because of my illness that he changed his lifestyle. As she spoke, Yao Jingjing's nose couldn't help but be a little sour, and she always remembered Sergei's kindness to her.

"What about Sergei to the servants in the manor?"

"There's no problem, we pay a lot to work here, and about that, the housekeeper Vera knows better, she's been working here for many years."

Detective Nikolai nodded, writing it down one by one.
