In Chen Liangshan's memory, the last time he went to the crematorium, he attended the funeral of Po Zi Po.
He vaguely remembered that day, just like now, the sky always seemed to be covered with a layer of foggy gray gauze, and he always felt that there would be some vague ashes in the peripheral vision of his eyes, but when he focused on this moment, he felt that
Nothing can be seen.
It's as if the sky here is always filled with particles of the ashes of the deceased that are invisible to the naked eye, exuding a hot, smoky smell.
According to regulations, a furnace needs to burn for about 40 minutes. During this waiting time, although Chen Liangshan had already been mentally prepared, when he saw Xiao Yue who seemed to be asleep an hour ago, he suddenly
But when it turned into a small pile of bones, the shock caused by this huge gap almost caused the defense line he had finally built up in his heart to collapse.
There was a small muffled sound, and sure enough, Xiao Yanran beside her couldn't accept the current reality, her legs softened and she fell to the ground.
"Yanran, leave this to me. You can go to the car to accompany your daughter..."
Chen Liangshan helped his wife up. He didn't want his family to see this scene again, so he asked Murong Shui to take her back to the car.
The burn on Xiao Yanran's leg was still aching, so she had no choice but to limp towards the car with Murong Shui's help.
Then, Chen Liangshan picked up the bone-crushing mallet alone and gradually pressed it against the still warm steel plate in front of him.
With a "Gah" sound, these broken bones, burned by thousands of degrees of heat, were instantly crushed into tiny residues. Only some of the larger leg bones still maintained their original shape, so Chen Liangshan also needed to put in a little effort.
"quack……"
"quack……"
Waves of cracking sounds of bones sounded, as if Chen Liangshan's heart was crushed bit by bit at this moment. He murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Xiao Yue, the man who killed you has paid for it with his life, but daddy
But I can't be happy because there are still a few people alive. So if you give Dad a little more time, I will definitely...send them all to that world to apologize to you."
A tear fell and was rubbed into the broken bones, and this endless grudge and revenge deeply made Chen Liangshan feel exhausted.
It was as if I was walking on a never-ending dark road. Every step I took was difficult and accompanied by the loss of a dirty life.
Although everyone he killed had a reason to die and they all deserved to die, he no longer wanted to kill anyone. He no longer wanted to use violence to deprive anyone of his life, even bad guys.
But soon, a deep fear came over him. Chen Liangshan knew that once he did something, it would be difficult to stop. He didn't know whether he would be buried in the future on this endless road.
Xu Tiannan's eyes were red at this time. In the past few hours, he and Murong Shui had been busy in the hospital for half the night. But now when he saw the pile of bones in front of him gradually turning into powder, silence was the only thing he could do.
matter.
Chen Liangshan's movements were very slow and gentle, as if he was bathing a newborn baby gently.
But Xu Tiannan only felt extremely bored in his chest at this time, so he left and found a quiet place to sit. This innate ability to empathize made him very painful, but all he could do now was just sigh.
.
Xu Tiannan didn't know when it started, but the gap between him and Chen Liangshan seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
"Boss..."
Murong Shui also sat over after seeing this. She was very worried when she saw Xu Tiannan's current appearance, but after thinking about it, her not-so-smart brain, which was occupied by eating and drinking, could not think of any words of comfort.
Finally, Murong Shui's brain suddenly began to have intermittent short-circuit attacks again, and he imitated Chen Liangshan's crushing of ashes just now, and asked eagerly: "If I were to die in the future... would you also treat me so gently...
…crushed to pieces?”
Xu Tiannan stared at the other person in surprise for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "Crazy, you can still say such things at this time."
After coming out of the crematorium, there was a simple funeral banquet, and the main guests this time were only the friends of Xiao Yue when she was in the orphanage, so Chen Liangshan chose the address at a farmhouse restaurant not far away.
After finishing all these things and everyone sat down, Xu Tiannan finally recharged his mobile phone. Since he was busy early in the morning yesterday, his mobile phone has already shut down automatically.
But when he turned it on again, the phone kept ringing with text message alerts. When he opened it, almost all of them were messages from Wen Sibao.
——Something happened, where are you?
——After seeing the message, he immediately rushed to the northern suburbs dairy farm, urgent case!
——Usopp was killed, and the murderer seems to be someone from Shanshuihe!
——There is a case discussion meeting this morning, will you come?
Seeing these text messages, Xu Tiannan stood up instantly and said to Murong Shui next to him: "Let's go."
Murong Shui hadn't eaten since last night, and her mouth was almost watering when she looked at the large plate of chicken in front of her. After hearing what the other party said, she just asked pitifully: "Where... where are we going?"
Chen Liangshan noticed the other party's behavior and asked: "Tiannan? What's wrong?"
Xu Tiannan did not explain, but winked and pointed to a corner not far away. After the other party came out with him, he explained in a low voice: "Liangshan, I have something urgent and I may have to go first."
A look of disappointment flashed in Chen Liangshan's eyes, but he still showed understanding and patted the other party's shoulder, whispering: "Okay! If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Thanks to you these two days, really,
Thank you……"
While the two were talking, Murong Shui also drove over.
Chen Liangshan looked at Xu Tiannan who was hesitant to speak, and smiled bitterly: "Why don't you go quickly? If you don't leave, I will keep you!"
"Goodness!"
After a brief ideological struggle, Xu Tiannan finally responded with determination: "Usopp is dead."
Since coming out of the crematorium, Chen Liangshan's mood has been very low, but when he heard these words, he suddenly froze on the spot.
The next moment, Chen Liangshan knew in his heart that he had to make some gesture in order for Xu Tiannan to truly see the collapse of his emotions at this moment.
After a while, Chen Liangshan's chest suddenly began to rise and fall. It seemed that he was extremely nervous at this moment. The corners of his mouth trembled and he said with difficulty: "You said... you said... who did you say is dead?"
Xu Tiannan said again: "It's the murderer who killed Xiaoyue, Usopp! He was killed last night!"
After a while, Chen Liangshan's tears suddenly flowed down uncontrollably. He turned his head hard, wiped the tears silently, and asked, "Who did it...?"
Xu Tiannan: "It's not sure yet, but it is said that he is a Taoist person, and may be involved in some gang affairs, but no matter what, Xiaoyue's great revenge has been avenged, and she can finally rest in peace..."
"Thank you...thank you for telling me this. It's really...great."
Chen Liangshan lowered his head, waved his hands slowly and said, "Go and do your work quickly. I just want to be alone for a while."
Xu Tiannan looked at the other party's state. It was obviously the body's instinctive nervous reaction when faced with a huge shock, so he was basically convinced that Chen Liangshan did not know about this.
After a brief sense of relief, Xu Tiannan relaxed a little and nodded: "Okay, I'll go then, take care of yourself."
