43. Funeral: Final Chapter
For the funeral of his younger sister, Huang Yan was unusually very simple. Among the people present, in addition to the invited Xiaojie, mother and daughter and Yun Rou, there were only three of them. Ningxia also drove over later. However, the most surprising thing for Huang Yan was the arrival of Lu Lingling in the end.
She came to her sister's tombstone with two bouquets of flowers. One bouquet is his own, and the other bouquet is given for Chen Yuanyuan. When she heard that her sister's funeral was held today, Lu Lingling specially flew over from Beijing.
Although it has been a while since the incident, Lu Lingling still blames himself in his heart. Every time she thinks about it, she regrets it very much, if it weren't for her appearance and trouble, Huang Yan might have more time to spend with her sister.
Now Qin Le's attitude towards her has eased a lot. Subsequently, Mr. Jin and Li Fenglin also rushed over from their busy schedules. Because there are so many things going on in the company, they can't stay here for too long.
Before leaving, Li Fenglin wanted to persuade again, hoping that Huang Yan could go back to preside over the overall situation. I didn't expect to be rejected by him. After all, this was at my sister's funeral, and Mr. Jin also hurriedly came out to play a round and said that everything would be said when the matter here was over. He also persuaded Huang Yan to hope that he could think about it.
Time always slips away without you noticing. In front of her sister's tombstone, Huang Yan told her not to worry about being alone here in the future. He had already decided to stay here, and he would come here to chat with her whenever he had free time in the future. Huang Yan also pointed to the cemetery next to his sister, who had already bought it. When they are alive, they can't stay together every day, at least after they die, they can be together all the time. Huang Yan's words moved everyone present when they heard it.
In front of the tombstone, Huang Yan squatted down and whispered to his sister that maybe it won't be long before they meet in another world. There should be no pain and separation.
As the sky was getting darker and darker, just as everyone was about to leave together, Huang Yan, who turned around, suddenly stopped and looked up motionlessly into the distance.
Ningxia, who was next to him, also seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he turned his head to look at Huang Yan just when he was about to ask what was wrong, when suddenly a gunshot rang out. The gunfire was minimal, and it was clear that the silencer was installed. Then everyone saw blood flowing from Huang Yan's chest. The bullet hit him directly in the place of the heart.
Fortunately, Qin Le and Ningxia were quick and fast. The two of them almost supported him at the same time at the moment when Huang Yan fell.
As a person with many years of work experience, she has already judged the approximate location of the gunfire at the first time. She wanted to chase after her, but Huang Yan, who fell to the ground, was holding her and Qin Le's hands tightly at this time. Qin Le on the side anxiously shouted at Huang Yan: "Boss, you'll be fine." Raising his head, Qin Le also found a suspicious man in the distance who was rapidly evacuating.
This sudden turn of events made everyone else stupefied. Especially Xiaojie's mother and daughter and Yun Rou, how could they have ever seen such a scene. They hid directly by the nearby tombstone, covering their heads and not daring to show their heads. Then Lu Lingling and Tang Ming, who reacted, ran towards the place where Huang Yan fell.
Seeing Lu Lingling and them coming, Qin Le no longer hesitated and hurriedly handed Huang Yan into the hands of the two of them, broke away from Huang Yan's hand and chased him out in the direction where the gun was fired. Ningxia on the side was not to be outdone, and followed closely.
Seeing the two of them chasing the murderer, Tang Ming, as a doctor, hurriedly pressed Huang Yan's wound, and with the help of Lu Lingling, he helped Huang Yan up and walked in the direction of the car.
A man wearing a black cap is fleeing with a black suitcase on his back. Qin Le saw the opportunity and relied on his knowledge of the terrain here to catch up around the trail. Seeing that he was about to intercept the murderer, a blue sedan suddenly appeared and crashed into Qin Le.
With his flexible skills, Qin Le dodged the car's attack with a roll. I saw the car drive straight to the murderer, and the people inside opened the car door and shouted, telling the murderer to get into the car quickly.
At the moment when the murderer jumped into the car, Qin Le suddenly found that the figure of the person in the driver's seat was so familiar. and the voice she shouted just now, Qin Le couldn't be more familiar with it.
In Qin Le's stunned moment, Ningxia had already arrived. She drew her gun and fired several shots at the fleeing vehicle, but she was unable to stop it.
Just as they were considering whether to continue the pursuit, a violent explosion suddenly came from behind. The direction of this voice came from Huang Yan and them. The two didn't have time to think about it, so they could only run back quickly.
When they arrived, Huang Yan's car had burned to the ground and only a steel skeleton remained, and there were still sporadic fires around it. Huang Yan had already collapsed in a pool of blood unconscious. Lu Lingling and Tang Ming were still desperately protecting Huang Yan.
It turned out that just now, when Tang Ming and Lu Lingling helped Huang Yan to the car. Huang Di, who suddenly woke up, seemed to hear a ticking sound similar to a stopwatch. With years of work experience, Huang Yan immediately realized that it was not good. Wounded by a gunshot, he quickly turned around and protected Lu Lingling and Tang Ming in his arms. It was at this time that an explosion sounded behind Huang Yan. The three of them were instantly knocked to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion.
Lu Lingling and Tang Ming were fine, after all, Huang Yan had suffered most of the damage caused by the explosion for them.
In the emergency room of the hospital, five or six hours have passed. But Huang Yan is still uncertain about life and death. In the corridor of the hospital, Qin Le sat quietly in a chair without saying a word. Looking at Qin Le, Ningxia always felt that he was so abnormal today. Although they haven't been in contact for a long time, if Ningxia knew that he would have been like an ant on a hot pot, he wouldn't be as quiet as this.
"Don't you have nothing to say?" Ningxia came to Qin Le and asked him.
"What do you want to say?" Looking at Ningxia standing in front of him, Qin Le suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart.
Ningxia stared at Qin Le intently for a long, long time. Finally, he slowly asked, "Do you know the murderer just now?" ”
Ningxia's question made Qin Le's heart unpleasantly surprised. Even his eyes instantly panicked.
There is no need for Qin Le to say anything, from his performance, Ningxia already knows the answer. She told Qin Le that a good policeman would never give up any clues.
Ningxia asked Qin Le if he still remembered what Zhang Lan had said. After Nofi's case ended, she had discussed it with Huang Yan. Huang Yan also thinks that there must be an inner ghost hidden by his side. Otherwise, it is impossible for Lu Lingling, who has just returned from abroad, to understand himself so clearly.
Ningxia also told Qin Le that they had carefully investigated Nofi's interpersonal relationships afterwards. Although almost all of his relatives have died, his wife and sister are still missing.
"The person who rescued the murderer is very similar to Xiaolan." Qin Le said to Ningxia. He used a word very similar, because in Qin Le's heart, he didn't want this assassination to be related to her.
"It's the girl in your bar who always wears the costumes of Yunnan ethnic minorities." Ningxia said.
Qin Le nodded. From this sentence, Qin Le has already seen that in order to investigate this case, Ningxia really put a lot of effort into it. Otherwise, when she heard Xiaolan's name, she would immediately be able to say what she looked like accurately.
Ningxia blamed himself in his heart for being too careless after all. She had to admit that she was negligent in her investigation. The reason why she didn't suspect Xiaolan was because this girl had been following Huang Yan and them for too long. She has been working there almost since the bar opened. Secondly, she dresses up every day and is a maverick. It's hard to believe that such a high-profile and attention-grabbing person could be a spy who has been lurking around Huang Yan.
Looking at Huang Yan lying in the emergency room, Qin Le was full of regret at the moment. It turned out that if it weren't for Qin Le, Xiaolan would not have been able to lurk beside them.
At that time, Huang Yan's bar had just begun to open. The two of them went to Yunnan on a business trip together to pick up rice wine. At that time, Huang Yan and Qin Le had just found a place to eat in the waiting hall of the airport. Shortly after they sat down, a girl appeared beside them with a look of embarrassment.
"Two big brothers, can you buy me something to eat, I haven't eaten for a long time." The girl who spoke was later Xiaolan.
Huang Yan glanced at Xiaolan, and without saying a word, she directly asked the waiter to order one for her.
During the meal, Xiaolan told them that she was from a rural village in Yunnan. This time, I ran out secretly because of a marriage runaway. Qin Le was happy after listening to it at that time, and said with a smile: "What age is this, and there is such a thing." ”
As soon as his words fell, Huang Yan immediately glanced at him, thinking that he was too talkative. After all, no one in this world has the right to joke about the suffering of others.
Looking up at Xiaolan's appearance, Qin Le also felt that he was a little excessive.
After eating, just as they decided to leave, Xiaolan suddenly stepped forward to stop them. Huang Yan thought she was asking for money, and just took out her wallet, but Xiaolan shook her head and told him that she had misunderstood what she meant.
"Two bosses, your company wants to recruit people, I can do any job, and I can endure any hardship. It doesn't matter how much I get paid, as long as I can support myself. ”
At that time, Huang Yan didn't want to agree, but later Qin Le was moved by compassion and persuaded Huang Yan to keep Xiaolan. Beijing's bars have just opened, and it's also a time when people are needed.
"Would you like to go to Beijing?" Qin Le also asked at the time.
Xiaolan said happily: "Of course I do, the farther away from us the better." ”
In order to paralyze them, Xiaolan said happily to Qin Le at that time: "I knew that I had a better chance of meeting the boss at the airport than at the train station." ”
Qin Le never thought that all this was a conspiracy that had been arranged a long time ago. Recalling that at the beginning, when Huang Yan and the others asked Xiaolan to take a plane back to Beijing together, she used the excuse that she would go back to her hometown to report her safety first, and then go to Beijing again, he should have felt that there might be something wrong with this little girl.
It's just that by now, all the remorse has gone now.
Ningxia on the side persuaded Qin Le: "Since Xiaolan has the heart to approach you, even if it doesn't succeed that time, she will think of other ways." Besides, if it weren't for Huang Yan's bent desire to die, the killer might not be able to succeed. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Qin Le asked.
"Think carefully about the state of Huang Yan at that time." Ningxia said to Qin Le, "Huang Yan simply wants to die in front of his sister's grave this time." ”
Recalling the scene at the time of the incident, Huang Yan may have noticed that something was wrong, so he stopped to watch. Ningxia guessed that even Huang Yan had already seen the killer and Xiaolan at that time. This also explains why Huang Yan clung to Qin Le and the two of them tightly after he fell. He wanted to die on his sister's side, and he also died for Nofi's family.
When Qin Le and the others were still anxiously waiting in the corridor of the emergency room because of Huang Yan, Xiaolan had already taken a plane to Hong Kong. In the airport, she could already see Ah Biao standing there waiting for her from a distance.
After the two met, they hugged each other tightly.
End
Six months later. On the third floor of the Afu supermarket in Changsha City, in a super-large bookstore, a sturdy man is sitting on a seemingly short but slender plastic stool, seriously teaching the two children next to him to draw.
At first glance, everyone was very worried that the little stool would die under his tall body at any moment.
Six months ago, when Huang was pushed out of the emergency room, doctors told everyone that although his life was saved, the strong blast caused him to hit his head when he fell to the ground.
Luckily, Huang Yan did not become a vegetative state as the doctors predicted, nor did it damage his IQ. It's just that when he woke up, he couldn't remember what had happened.
Life still has to go on, and amnesia is not necessarily a good thing for Huang Yan now.
Huang Yan, who was teaching people to draw upstairs, was suddenly called down by the cashier of the supermarket downstairs.
In front of the cash register, a woman, wearing a long skirt and holding a two-year-old child in one hand, was explaining something to the cashier.
Turning her head and seeing Huang Yan who suddenly came downstairs, the woman was instantly stunned on the spot, and even the child in her hand almost fell off.
"Madam—" It was in Huang Yan's shouts that the woman came back to her senses from the shock just now.
"Excuse me!" The woman hurriedly hugged the child again, and said embarrassedly again, "I'm sorry." ”
"What's the matter?" Huang Yan asked with a smile.
Before the woman could speak, the cashier hurriedly said, "Boss, this lady said she didn't bring her wallet when she bought something, and she lost her mobile phone." ”
"Then let her take her things away first, and then send the money when she has time." After Huang Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked upstairs.
As soon as he was halfway there, he suddenly turned to look at the woman holding the child as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Give this lady another hundred dollars so she can take a taxi home or contact her family." After saying that, he walked upstairs without looking back.
Looking at Huang Yan's departure, the woman's eyes flashed with a complicated light. There was expectation, embarrassment, loss and guilt in her eyes, and she was a little relieved to see Huang Yan leave.
There were two women on the opposite side, quietly observing what had just happened. These two women, one is Ningxia, and the other is Lu Lingling, who flew over from Beijing on purpose.
"Who's that woman?" Lu Lingling asked in a sour tone, "Didn't you say that she could know if Huang Yan really had amnesia when she came?" ”
"She's Liu Piaopiao—" Ningxia said.
Hearing the name Liu Piaopiao, Lu Lingling's mouth could be opened to put in the egg.
"So what's going on now? What do you see, is Huang Zhen really amnesia? Lu Lingling continued to ask.
"I don't know—" Ningxia finished and turned around to leave.
"Hey, what do you mean by that. It's not a blind man lighting a lamp in vain, it's a toss in vain! Lu Lingling shouted and followed.
Qin Le called Huang Yan and said that he would go downstairs immediately. picked up Huang Yan, and the two went directly to the tomb of the younger sister.
From the moment Huang Yan decided to stay in Changsha, Qin Le ended all his business in Beijing. In the past six months, he has been following Huang Yan, telling him the bits and pieces of the past, and helping him recall the past.
At sunset, in front of my sister's grave, Huang Yan and Qin Le were carrying wine, and the two of them were talking, but it was like three people chatting.
They talked, and every now and then there was laughter.
