Cifang Mountain Cemetery is the gathering place of cemeteries in the Northeast District of Wuzhou City. The morning mist smudges the dense pines and cypresses in the mountain forest into different shades of green.The population density of Wuzhou can be glimpsed in Cifangshan Cemetery, where densely packed tombstones line the foot of the mountain.Wang Qian placed Shen Li on the ninth floor of No.20 in the cemetery. Even though it was not as high as the 29th floor of a living person, each floor had less than ten steps, and it took about ten minutes to walk up the steps slowly, lacking exercise. Mr. Lu looked pale and panted looking at the straight steps, his face was disfigured from exhaustion.

Above the cemetery with dozens of floors, there are continuous and majestic mountains. Even if the living people try their best to go up, even the 29th floor is buried at the foot of the mountain.

Stepping up to the last step, Lu Zhiyao put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath, panting to the figure sitting in front of the tomb, and said, "This Wang Qian, sure enough—huh—she's not my real mother! Mom! I bought it at such a high price, I want to exhaust someone!"

After a long time, he turned around and smiled: "If you live at a high level, you can see far away. The high-level living people know to buy at a higher level. Why don't you let Shen Li live here more comfortably—Boss Lu got up very early today."

Lu Zhiyao glanced at it for a long time, panting and joked: "That's not as hard as the Xu team, preparing breakfast and sending it to the hotel every morning, and colluding with Uncle Ou to make up a series of lies--do you know that you don't know what to do?" Good at lying."

For a long time, there was obviously some embarrassing surprise: "How did I find out..."

"You put our family's unique pickles because you were afraid that I wouldn't find out!"

Jiu Jiu blushed and smiled: "I'm afraid you won't eat in the morning, and I'm even more afraid that you won't be used to eating in hotels."

"The only thing you haven't been afraid of is that you won't be able to eat with me again?" Lu Zhiyao interrupted for a long time.

"No..." The voice for a long time was so low that he could only hear it.

In the cemetery area of ​​Cifang Mountain with its back facing the lake, before the low sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist in the early morning, Lu Zhiyao's sigh was swept into the bulging wind in the mountains, and fell silent in an instant.

Lu Zhiyao walked to the tomb with weak steps, bowed deeply, and placed the bouquet of flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone. Name, but Shen Li didn't have it, it was blank.

For a long time, I saw Lu Zhiyao touching the blank space where the monument was erected, and said softly: "Chen Li's murder case is the most special case I have ever handled. From the beginning to the end, there was no crying of relatives, no one urged You go to investigate the murderer, no one is crying and asking you to tell her the truth, it is so quiet that it makes people feel distressed."

Lu Zhiyao looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember, not far from here is Aunt Lin's cemetery!"

Staring at him blankly for a long time, she turned to look at Shen Li's tombstone with red eyes: "Finally, I can be by her mother's side."

Lu Zhiyao squatted in front of Shen Li's tomb looking at her photo, and asked for a long time, "I've heard about Aunt Mei. She got the remittance approval slip in my bag, right? Why didn't you explain? "

Sitting on the stone pier in front of the cemetery for a long time, she lowered her head and lit a cigarette with her palms together: "It doesn't matter if it's me or her. Anyway, we lied to you. If you don't mind, just blame me. She protected me all my life. Something I should have blocked for her."

"Can you tell me about your parents and Aunt Mei?"

A ray of light suddenly shone on Lu Zhiyao's dark brown hair. The early morning clouds were a cover, and it would probably be sunny today.

"Li Xiao is Aunt Mei's child, have you heard that?"

Lu Zhiyao nodded.

"When I was seven years old, my dad died, saying he committed suicide by hanging - I was too young at that time, and Aunt May was just a nanny. Where did we find out the truth. My mother was very sad and sick within a year after my dad passed away. Fallen, Aunt Mei is taking care of me, and at the same time, she has to stay in front of my mother's hospital bed, my mother passed away after a serious illness, suddenly there are only me and Aunt Mei left in such a big room."

"According to my mother—I mean Aunt Mei's confession. She made many inquiries and heard that my father was involved in a far-reaching financial scandal. He committed suicide in fear of crime. Aunt Mei did not believe this statement, because my father—— Zhou Hengyuan would never offer bribes. Aunt Mei’s husband at the time, Qin Guohao, told her that the evidence of my dad’s bribery involved an official under investigation at the time, and Aunt Mei believed that it must be a trap set by Lu Yuanzhen or Cao Wanhong to use him as a scapegoat. When she was full of doubts but could do nothing, Aunt Mei noticed that Cao Wanhong had been sending people to follow me. She was more than seven months pregnant and took me out of Zhou's house in the middle of the night to escape. She changed my name and protected me until now. In the middle, she After giving birth to Li Xiao, Qin Guohao died of illness within a few years, and his later wife, Li Xinyi, was Li Xiao's nominal mother."

Lu Zhiyao: "What is the background of this Qin Guohao?"

Jiu Jiu: "Aunt Mei's ex-husband, his workplace at the time was even more suspicious, Fuding Paper Factory."

Lu Zhiyao was fiddling with the fine dirt on the soles of his feet, and suddenly raised his head: "This...isn't this the place where Shen Yong worked before his death!"

"Yes! Zhao Yi and I went to this Fuding when we investigated Shen Yong, but at that time we only went to his colleagues and leaders to provide clues. We went again this time, and Qin Guohao's name was indeed in the employee file. When I was a child , Aunt Mei lived in my house all the year round. Uncle Qin didn’t have a close relationship with my family. I did ignore his situation. This factory is an old paper mill for more than 20 years, and the address was changed once more than 20 years ago. , moved to the address before the current factory site, which is in the land in your hand in Qingshui."

Lu Zhiyao knew about this factory, and since he got the land, he has been desperately chasing after its past and present lives, but apart from knowing the name of the factory, everything else is covered up, all the fate in this world is nothing but It's just the word "coincidence". Lu Zhiyao felt that after this land was connected with Qin Guohao, the road would soon be cleared.

Lu Zhiyao walked up to him for a long time, smoked a cigarette from his breast pocket, and calmed down his ups and downs: "The things I found here may be helpful to you—the one that Aunt Mei took away." This approval form was passed to me after Li Xiao threatened the person Yu Bei got it. I guess the reason why he gave me the evidence instead of giving it to you directly is because he was afraid that he would expose himself if he contacted you. If I contact him, at least the chance of catching him in the first place is very small."

"Well, let's talk about the approval form." Jiu Jiu leaned over to light his cigarette.

"The approval form is Yuanhong's remittance approval form 24 years ago. The approver is Zhou Hengyuan's signature stamp, and the amount is 30. The receiving unit is an overseas company called Nuobiqi. This company did not have much contact with Yuanhong back then. Not long afterward, the partnership was broken up, and one of the shareholders, Shi Huayi, established a company called Boqi, and he still has frequent business contacts with Yuanhong. And this Shi Huayi has a younger brother named Shi Hualin."

"Secretary Secretary Shi of the city government?!"

"Yes. I'm not saying you should know his resume better than me. He has been promoted all the way to where he is today since 24 years ago."

"It was all in that year. There were so many coincidences that I don't believe in fate. That year Wanyuan reached an investment agreement with Yuanhong and started raising funds. Later, the investment project failed, and the fundraisers were cheated out of their money. One of them The fund-raiser was Shen Yong. In order to get back the money, Shen Yong kidnapped Cao Wanhong's daughter and abducted the orphan from the hospital. In order to replace his own child's kidney, Shen Yong exchanged the two kidnapped children. Li's death—more than 20 years have been intertwined, and this chain is really too time-traveling." After a long time, he was a little out of breath.

Lu Zhiyao smoked a cigarette, digesting the words for a long time.

Jiu Jiu continued: "There are still four things that need to be clarified. First, why did Wanyuan's investment in Yuanhong fail? Second, if the remittance on the approval form is true, What was the money used for, and what was its relationship with Shi Hualin; third, what role did Qin Guohao and Fuding Paper play in this; fourth, why did Li Xiao become the main thread connecting the whole farce , even now, he is still digging up the clues of the past and sending them to us, does he have enmity with Yuanhong?"

Lu Zhiyao stomped on the cigarette and kicked it out: "I can't answer the last two questions, but I can try to guess the first two questions."

He looked up at him for a long time.

"That piece of land has been allocated until now and it is a third-class industrial land. The nature of the land is a big problem and no one has dared to solve it. Based on how sensitive my father and Cao Wanhong are to the piece of land in my hand, let me make a bold guess. The way the land fell into the hands of Yuanhong back then is probably not very glamorous. If it is said that the real estate project investment failed, it is unlikely to lose all the money. It can only be explained that all the money was invested in it. But the project came to an abrupt end, and I couldn’t hold it down. I only heard that the celebrity was frozen, but I didn’t hear that the real estate project was frozen. The only possibility that caused this was that the land involved an important person at that time. The important event was hidden by the birds..."

His face was gloomy for a long time, and Lu Zhiyao knew what he was thinking, and continued: "If this is the case, it can explain the falsification of the remittance approval form and the cause of your father's death, then it can only be—take the blame! Maybe, When that important person was investigated, Cao Wanhong used Yu Bei to forge the money remitted abroad as being entrusted by your father. Yuanhong voluntarily handed over the evidence of your father's remittance. Yuanhong took the blame. As for the real cause of your father's death, it can only be investigated by you."

For a long time, he let out a long breath. Although the burden on his heart has not been relieved, at least his guess has been confirmed by Lu Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, this matter may have something to do with your father." relation."

"I know, isn't this what you want to find out when you're with me?"

"Lu Zhiyao!"

Jiu Jiu was out of breath, but Lu Zhiyao was not in a hurry, slowly took out the thing from his pocket, put it in his palm, and stretched it out in front of Jiu Jiu.

The silver ring in Lu Zhiyao's palm suddenly encircled the light from Cifang Mountain that came out of the clouds at that moment. It turns out that there are things that are more dazzling than diamonds. For a long time, he felt uncomfortable for a long time. He didn't even have the strength to twist at this moment. Think of the circle of promises in Lu Zhiyao's hand.

"I missed that day, will there be no chance for you to wear it for me again?"

"I..." For a long time, he raised his heavy hand and thought of the ring in his hand, he hesitated for a long time and suddenly put it down, "Zhiyao, this is the way I am all my life, whether you forgive me or not, I will never change for you But at this moment, there are more important things for you and me, if we don’t make the right choice now, how will we face our love in the future.”

There are many ways to live in this world. Some people paint the land as a prison, some paint cakes to satisfy their hunger, some use bitterness to taste good, and some live in a deviant way. Most people are busy just to have a good meal for their family.Yes, there is no chaos in the world, and there are wars, but in far away places, there is no need for each of us to fight. If you want to give gruel to passers-by begging, maybe they will take out a QR code and ask you to discount it. Vegetables and rice may not be the most basic lack.Has the world actually changed for the better?It must be true to look forward.But some people have given their lives because of their past illnesses. Killing like a hemp does not necessarily mean blood on both hands, and hard work is not a reason to stop. The densely entwined truth is still like a poisonous plant, waiting for the brave to swing the sword.

Lu Zhiyao understood every word he hadn't said for a long time.

Lu Zhiyao smiled faintly, and suddenly closed his palms together: "I know the meaning of every word of yours. It's not the time for you to wear it for me. After a long time, you still remember that you told me that you loved me without leaving a way out. Do you want me to trust you no matter what happens?"

"Ah."

"I believe you, so I ask you to believe me too. No matter what role my dad played in this past incident, and how much responsibility I have for your father's death, I just want to know the truth. Before that, the ring can't be taken back. go?"

"it is good."

"Well, then, then I'll go first."

Lu Zhiyao tightened the ring in his palm, put it in his pocket, and closed his eyes slightly when he turned around, not daring to look at it for a long time.

"Zhiyao," Jiu Jiu called to Shen Li's tomb, "Recently, can you still see me? I mean, eyes."

Lu Zhiyao didn't look back: "Well, every day."

Xiao Jiu smiled: "Some snow falls in her heart. I didn't know until I was with you that the snow has been falling in Shen Li's heart for as long as she has been in love."

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and still turned his back for a long time.

Jiu Jiu: "The thing she gave you, the library card with my photo on it, you take it for me."

Lu Zhiyao: "Okay."

"Because I will love you for a long time too."

"……it is good."

The two went down the mountain from the east and west gates of the cemetery with their backs facing each other, and the number of people in the cemetery gradually increased.In the noisy crowd, their phones rang at almost the same time.

Qian Xiaoding: "Mr. Lu, Shi Hualin has a clue. He has the dry stock of a hotel in the name of Shi Huayi Company——the Shangbin Hotel in Qingshui!"

Lu Zhiyao: "..."

Zhao Yi: "Captain Xu, there is news from the colleague who followed and monitored Wan Quan. Wan Quan has frequently contacted a woman in the past two days. After investigation, this person is probably Wan Yuan's lover in Qingshui. That person is Han Yuan. Qing, he is the registered owner of Shangbin Hotel in Qingshui District, the one we stayed at when we went to investigate the case!"

for a long time:"……"

It was supposed to be full of romantic tears, but suddenly it felt as bad as being peed on by someone, what a thing!

Lu Zhiyao and Xu Jiu turned around at the same time, less than [-] meters away, a funeral procession in sackcloth and filial piety passed by, the high-pitched and shrill suona sound echoed in the mountains, the so-called "trumpet sound swallows", sadness is in the mountains The tossing and turning became a visible sound, as if the hoarse voice was trying to wake up the people underground to take a look at the gray sky and the world.

Across the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the two held their phones and looked back. After a long time, they suddenly remembered what Lu Zhiyao said that day.

"I'm always scared when I'm with you."

The faces of each other are flickering across the slowly moving figures of the team.

"Afraid of many things, afraid of being separated, afraid of accidents, afraid of not seeing you, and afraid of being spoiled by you."

After a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had promised Lu Zhiyao that he would never be separated.But there is always a seed deep in his heart, thinking that they will get lost in the karma of the past, and may not make it to the end.

……

"From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear."

"All love will be impermanent, hard to come by for a long time, and there are many fears in life, and life is at stake in the morning dew."

……

Love is clearly full of worry and fear in Lu Zhiyao's heart, but when he looks at himself, his eyes are always firm, as if all the burdens and worries are left to himself.

For a long time, Lu Zhiyao looked into his own eyes amidst the crowds, and suddenly realized that this meeting was their simultaneous glances in the vast crowd, not one second more, not one second less, since he did not miss that moment, he I won't let go.

At this moment, the absurd suona sound chased up and resounded through the pine forest. They seemed to be looking at each other firmly through the thick and unknown life and death.

Fortunately, above Cifang Mountain, the rays of light in the sky finally pierced the sky, and the sky has cleared.

15 years ago.

In the Lu family's villa in a prime location in the center of Wuzhou, only the lights in the study room were on, and Wu Caizhi took her two children to her sister's house for the night.Lu Yuanzhen sat on the boss's chair in the study, looking at the glass in front of him, half of which was the night sky from Wuzhou, and half of it reflected Cao Wanhong who was kneeling in front of him.

A photo of a strange man was crumpled by Lu Yuanzhen and thrown on Cao Wanhong's face.

"Back then you falsely used Hengyuan's name to make remittance evidence and handed it over to the investigation team. I thought it was Hengyuan who took the initiative to stand up for the crime. Later, Hengyuan hanged himself, and the police report said so. I really thought he did it for you. Yuanhong couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide. Not long after his siblings died, Chuan Ning also disappeared with Dongmei, and I felt something was wrong. I didn't order clothes with you because of Yuanhong's future for so many years. Of course, I have no evidence." Lu Yuanzhen turned his chair to the window, squinted his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I just sent someone to find this person recently. He is the killer you sent to strangle Hengyuan back then. You used Hengyuan to falsify the money you gave to Lu back then. Bribing evidence, and then murdering people and pretending to commit suicide in fear of crime, hmph, even a small cashier can be used by you, you are quite deliberate!"

Cao Wanhong's breathing trembled, and he walked a few steps on his knees and fell in front of Lu Yuanzhen: "Brother Yuan, there was nothing I could do back then! The person surnamed Lu was investigated. If the land does not find a scapegoat, something will happen to Yuanhong. At that time, there must be someone Responsible, Yuanhong is our painstaking effort, I can't just watch it be ruined like this!"

"You care about Yuanhong more than a human life?! Then why don't you take the blame yourself! If Hengyuan hadn't died, I would have planned to take this thunder by myself!" Lu Yuanzhen glared, and put Cao Wanhong's hand on his knee throw away.

Cao Wanhong sobbed: "When Jiayi gave birth to children, I couldn't leave them!"

"Jiayi's child is a child, but Chuanning is not a child! Where did you get Chuanning?!"

"No, Chuan Ning has nothing to do with me. I asked that person to stay with Chuan Ning for a while, just to make sure they didn't suspect me, but later Xu Dongmei noticed it, and she disappeared with Chuan Ning. I didn't treat Chuan Ning Start, I really don't know, I haven't tracked them down again! It's true!"

"You, you bastard!" Trembling with anger, Lu Yuanzhen took out a golf club from the bookcase and threw it at Cao Wanhong without any effort.Cao Wanhong knelt on the spot without moving, let Lu Yuanzhen's club head hit him from all directions, Cao Wanhong straightened his body and knelt in front of Lu Yuanzhen, until he was covered in blood, and his ribs and leg bones were knocked off before he fell to the ground Passed out.

Lu Yuanzhen slammed his hands on the table, his hands were red, he picked up the phone and called the secretary: "Call an ambulance! You follow and say it's a car accident. Do it quickly, quickly!"

Just as he put down the phone, Lu Yuanzhen slumped in his chair angrily. Suddenly, a soft footstep stepped on the door.

Lu Yuanzhen looked up and saw Wu Caizhi returning alone after delivering the children.
