After several peaceful days, because the cause of death of Liu Xiaoyue's body was clear during the forensic examination, and there was no obvious trauma or bleeding on the body, the police finally followed Chen Liangshan's advice, skipped the autopsy step, and issued a death certificate.
Notification letter was issued, and family members were notified to come and claim the body.
In the funeral parlor, in the smallest wake room, Chen Liangshan's family, who were dressed in white linen, immediately stood up to greet Xu Tiannan, Wen Sibao and Murong Shui when they saw them coming in. However, everyone present was like this
They looked at each other, but no one spoke first. (Note)
Looking at the most familiar people in front of him, Chen Liangshan could hardly tell whether they were enemies or friends. There was a huge difference in the positions and beliefs between the two sides. They were even opponents in the interrogation room at one time, but
At this time, the arrival of several people from the other party was obviously not for the case.
Thinking of this, Chen Liangshan also stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, and then welcomed a few people in.
While Murong Shui and Wen Sibao went to sign the gift ledger, Xu Tiannan took a look at Liu Xiaoyue in the frozen coffin. The child was fished out shortly after drowning, so the body did not appear bloated or chemically reacted.
On the contrary, the fair and seemingly soft face is more like a child smiling slightly after falling asleep.
"Goodness."
Xu Tiannan whispered: "Is there anything you need me to do?"
Chen Liangshan smiled and said, "Come out with me for a smoke."
When the two came outside the funeral home, Xu Tiannan immediately saw a private car parked on the roadside not far from the gate, and his expression looked slightly hesitant.
Chen Liangshan saw the change in the other person's face for a moment and asked: "This is not what you meant, right?"
Xu Tiannan: "Huh? What?"
The other party shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Tiannan, you are really bad at pretending to be stupid. In fact, I can tell that the police officers who have been following me these days are all new faces. They should not be from Officer Wen's team.
Human, so you don’t have to hide it from me.”
Xu Tiannan was stunned for a while, then hesitantly said: "It turns out...it turns out you saw it."
Chen Liangshan lit a cigarette and said slowly: "Although there was a row of private cars parked on the roadside, the car crossed the parking line by two parking spaces, and there is no traffic police to take care of it from yesterday to now. I'm afraid
There are only cars owned by your police officers, right? Tiannan, do you know why there are so many wake rooms in this funeral home, but I chose the one at the east end?"
Xu Tiannan pondered: "Because the sight of the wake room just avoids the parking space on the road outside. If the police monitoring you wants to keep an eye on you, they will inevitably have to cross the parking line on the roadside, and you can also accurately
Determine whether you are being monitored by the police."
After a moment of silence, Xu Tiannan whispered: "Liangshan, do you really know what you are doing now?"
Chen Liangshan: "Alive."
"What?"
Xu Tiannan seemed puzzled by this, and listened to Chen Liangshan's explanation: "Tiannan, I really don't know where my life started. It seems that it suddenly no longer looks like before. In fact, you may not understand, in my life
After my youthful labor camp experience, I really love life and everyone around me more than before. But I don’t understand whether it’s the world that’s wrong or me that’s wrong. Why is the world always unwilling to let me go?
, why are there always so many people who want to push me to a dead end and force me to be unable to do anything I want to do. Why do those rich people always like to trample people like us like ants under their feet?
I have devoted my whole life to struggling just around the food and clothing line. I know I am not what you often call a 'strong person', but I also have my own family to protect. In order for my family to live happily, I
I am willing to do anything, even if someone spits in my face, I can endure it. But not my child. My child is my only bottom line and the only person I want to protect in this world. I don’t want her to suffer in the future.
Living like me, I hope that my children can live in a world without bullying and exploitation in the future, but relying only on my own strength... is indeed too small."
Xu Tiannan heard the shadow of "Liu Jianmin" in the other party's words with great certainty. This was also the first time that Chen Liangshan had spoken so many words in his heart to him, which made his face look slightly moved.
Xu Tiannan knew that Chen Liangshan had always been unhappy. He and Xiao Yanran must have suffered countless unfair and helpless encounters. However, this kind of thing was one of the rare problems in the world that had no solution.
A moment later, when Xu Tiannan didn't know how to comfort the other party, Chen Liangshan crushed the cigarette butt and said to himself: "Okay, let's go in."
Xu Tiannan said in surprise: "Just go in? Don't we want to chat for a while?"
"No, let's go."
As Chen Liangshan said this, he walked towards the interior of the funeral home, but at this moment, his heart seemed to be tense and ready to explode at any time.
In fact, when he deliberately led Xu Tiannan to the gate of the funeral home just now, he did not intend to express his distress at all, nor did he intend to seek help from the other party. It was because Chen Liangshan needed a suitable and appropriate reason to walk to the funeral home.
Just stand outside the gate for a while.
Chen Liangshan knew that the police were watching him, so he deliberately avoided walking out alone in order to avoid arousing police suspicion.
The appearance of Xu Tiannan can be used just in time. When the two were chatting at the door just now, Chen Liangshan used the smallest movement to see clearly the pair of sharp eagles in the woods diagonally across the street.
gaze.
Usopp is indeed following him.
This is exactly what Chen Liangshan wants to achieve. He wants Usopp to know that he is here and has not gone anywhere.
Only if Usopp can always follow him behind him like now, will he have the opportunity to avenge Liu Xiaoyue in the future.
At this time, in Chen Liangshan's mind, a careful and bold plan gradually became clear.
