deep trap

"Doctor, is she really without vital signs? Can you try to rescue her again? Hmm, I know, we just... can't accept it for a while, sorry."

"A signature is required...We are not family members. The family members live in the country and are rushing there. They should be here soon. Please wait a little longer."

"Fuck, Yuanmeier must have been killed by someone. You must give me an explanation tonight, or I will die with you!"

"Let go! I warn you, if you don't let go, you will be dealt with by the police!"

In the hospital, in the corridor on the first floor, Lao Mao was running between the nurse's station and the mortuary. He turned his head and saw Zhou Yan grabbing the policeman's collar, and hurried over to stop him, "Swallow, let go, calm down!"

Zhou Yan's eyes were scarlet, but he still stared at the policeman.Lao Mao could only forcefully break off his hand, "You go to the side and wait a while... buddy, my little brother is more impulsive, so you take it easy."

"It's okay, I can understand," the policeman straightened his collar, "sadly."

In fact, Lao Mao's eyes were not much better than Zhou Yan's. Touched by the word "sorry", his nose was sore again, "You, do you smoke? I have them in the car."

The police seriously refused, and said that everyone needs to cooperate to make a record after the funeral is finished.Zhou Yan yelled hoarsely, "It's useless to make transcripts, go and investigate the case!" Lao Mao hurriedly pulled him aside, and continued to apologize to the police as he walked.

There was a mess at the other end, but Lu Can sat on the bench at the end of the corridor and couldn't hear anything.In his mind, he played back and forth the scene when he saw Qin Yuanyuan in the early morning. His ears were buzzing, filled with the whistle of police cars and ambulances.

The morgue is like a pale cardboard box, narrow and long.If the obstetrics and gynecology operating room is the place where life comes from, then as the way back to life, people really don't like it here.It was really hard for Lu Can to understand—how could Qin Yuanyuan, who was so lively and lively, bear to leave, how could she accept that she was lying in such a place with peace of mind?

After staying outside for too long, Lu Can's thinking was a little sluggish.He raised his arm and wanted to rub his ears, which hadn't recovered, and opened his palm. With a bang, the phone fell to the ground.

Oh, it turned out that the mobile phone was in my hand, I didn't notice it just now.

Lu Can bent down to pick up the phone, and immediately, the elevator door opened, and a middle-aged woman and a young boy walked over with the support of a man on crutches.

Perhaps because of the perennial sunlight, the cheeks of the three showed a glowing black red.Especially middle-aged women, wearing shabby purple cotton clothes, which made their complexion even darker.

Lu Can recognized that padded jacket—it was bought by Qin Yuanyuan when he accompanied him when he first went to work.At that time, he felt that it was too gorgeous to give to the elderly as a gift. Qin Yuanyuan said: "What do you know, people like to wear brighter colors when they get older."

Now four years later, it is still so gorgeous.

The person who bought it is gone.

The middle-aged woman was in a hurry, but when she saw the police, she hesitated and slowed down her pace.But the road will always come to an end. In the end, she stood in front of the police, rubbing her hands full of dimples on the corners of her clothes, "Hello leader, I am Qin Yuanyuan's mother, and they are father and younger brother. I heard that my daughter, My daughter's condition is not very good, did you see the wrong person, how could Yuanyuan... commit suicide?"

The policeman looked at the three people in front of him with a serious expression, took them to the door of the morgue, pointed inside and said something.

Three seconds later, Lu Can uttered a mournful cry: "Ah——my Yuanyuan——"

Unable to accept the news of her daughter's death, Qin's mother closed her eyes and passed out.Without his wife's support, Qin's father couldn't support himself and fell down.Several nurses rushed over to give first aid and check the wound, and the corridor was once again in chaos.

Seeing that Zhou Yan's mood was almost stable, Lao Mao put him down to deal with the situation here.Fortunately, Qin's mother had no other problems, but passed out from grief, and soon woke up.

She knelt down at the policeman's feet with a thud, and begged repeatedly: "Leader, please, please, my family Yuanyuan must have been pushed down, she was wronged!"

The policeman hurriedly leaned over: "Get up quickly. I understand your feeling of losing a loved one, but I'm sorry, the site investigation results have come out. The surveillance video shows that the deceased was indeed a suicide rather than a homicide."

"How is it possible... Impossible...I don't believe it. She was strong since she was a child, and she didn't make a sound when she was bitten by a snake when planting rice seedlings. Some time ago, she told me that she wanted to make a lot of money and put me and her dad together. How could she commit suicide when she moved to live in the city? She hasn't seen her younger brother build a house and marry a wife, and she hasn't seen the apple tree planted last year bloom and bear fruit...My Yuanyuan... ...my daughter..."

The middle-aged woman was hunched over, unable to believe it, unwilling to accept it and not knowing who to turn to for justice, so she kept kowtowing to the police.The skull hit the tiles louder and louder, mixed with gasping and crying, even the little nurse behind couldn't help but wipe her eyes.

"Auntie, don't get excited," the policeman persuaded. "Modern society is full of pressure and worries. Sometimes negative emotions pile up and it is easy to go to extremes. We often receive reports of suicide. I heard that your daughter has a special job. Work hard, maybe it’s because the work is too tiring and you can’t think about it for a while. So get up quickly, she doesn’t want you to kneel down for good or bad, right?”

"Yes, auntie," Lao Mao held her arm, "Yuanmeier... Yuanmeier is still watching inside."

Hearing her daughter watching inside, Qin's mother fell on the ground and cried again.Qin's father leaned against the door frame and silently wiped away his tears—his spine was damaged in a mining accident when he was young, and he lost his ability to speak, and he couldn't even cry to express his sadness.

Only the younger brother Qin Nan was able to stand upright, muttering in a low voice: "I just said that it's unnecessary for her to make herself so tired every day. It's better to eat and drink with the big boss. It's better now, and I'll kill my life... ...."

At this moment, the elevator door opened again with a "ding" sound, and the woman holding the flowers seemed to be sure of something, looked around, then blocked the elevator door with her arm, and welcomed another man out.

The mortuary is on the first floor of the hospital. Except for the deceased, their family members, and the police who handle the case, few people usually choose to come here.

Lu Can couldn't help turning his gaze to the direction of the elevator, and saw the man striding towards the door of the morgue, "Hello, I am Liu Guan, the general manager of Xinpu Finance. We express our regret and condolences for Qin Yuanyuan's departure, and hope you can get out of the pain soon." pain."

With that said, the female assistant handed the flowers to Qin Nan.Qin Nan took the flower, "Mr. Liu of Xinpu Finance... Are you the boss of my sister's company? I heard she mentioned you."

"That's right, Qin Yuanyuan is a very good employee, but unfortunately...... hey." The man shook his head regretfully.

The boss of the company... Qin Nan rolled his eyes.

Different from his parents who face the loess and their backs to the sky, he spent several years in the city and often heard stories from his friends about someone's father/mother/wife who accidentally got "big money" and became a rich man.For him, isn't the present the best opportunity?

He cleared his throat and pretended to be filled with righteous indignation: "The leader said just now that modern people have a lot of work pressure and worry a lot. I think my sister was forced to death by you Xinpu. You must give me an explanation! "

Qin's father was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect his son to say such a thing.However, Liu Guan's answer was even more unexpected, "I don't agree with your reason, but out of humanitarian considerations, I decided to compensate the family members with a pension of 10 yuan."

One hundred thousand!That's the money for four years of farming in my hometown!After hearing the amount, Qin's mother stopped crying, sat up on her knees with her arms propped up, and stared blankly at Liu Guan.

At a certain moment, she and her son exchanged glances as if they had a tacit understanding - Qin's apple orchard needs to be surrounded by a fence, and it is time for the house to be renovated; her son is not young, and she has to prepare a bride price when she gets married, and Yuanyuan's father is paralyzed in bed , medical expenses are a big expense; this year's harvest is not good, and there is no money to buy seeds and fertilizers next spring. Fruit trees are sprayed with pesticides once a month, and good pesticides are twice as expensive as rice... ..Life is stretched everywhere, chicken feathers are everywhere, and money is needed everywhere.

Since it's gone, it's better... to maximize its value.

Qin's mother opened her mouth, wanting to agree.Qin Nan was thoughtful, and immediately interrupted her mother: "Mr. Liu, my sister is a living person, so you just give this little money? And as you can see, my father is disabled, and my mother is uneducated and only knows how to farm. I ...I have a chronic disease, and the whole family points to my sister to support her alone, how long can I spend 10 yuan? We want 50 yuan!"

Qin's mother had only heard such a large number on TV, and her body shook in shock.But she knew that her youngest son had a lot of clever ideas, so she believed him, so she wailed with great cooperation: "There is no law, one life is worth [-] yuan! Come and judge for us, my daughter is dead!" It's too bad—"

In an instant, a tragedy turned into a farce.

As if awakened by the sound of "30" and "40" bargaining, Lu Can finally regained his senses, quietly watching everything in front of him, his lungs seemed to be soaked in sea water and he couldn't breathe.

It was so uncomfortable, he subconsciously turned on the phone screen and dialed a series of numbers.When he reacted, the phone was already connected.

The person opposite said, "Lu Can."

Lu Can said "hmm".

Ji Mingze asked, "Where are you?"

"People's Hospital."

"Okay, I'll go now."

A pale "No" dissipated in the air, just like the day Duan Yuyang broke into his house, Ji Mingze had already rushed towards him wearing stars and wearing moons.

Hearing Qin Nan's lion's mouth open wide, Zhou Yan couldn't hold back the anger that had finally calmed down. He rushed to Qin Nan's body with a stride, and raised his fist to hit him.

Lao Mao didn't expect the Qin family to turn against him so quickly, but he couldn't ask Zhou Yan to make trouble in front of Qin Yuanyuan's body. While restraining Zhou Yan with the police and others, he silently condemned Qin Nan with his eyes.

But under such circumstances, Qin's mother was still bargaining wildly.Maybe he felt that he was incapable of making money, but Qin's father burst into tears, and his voice made a terrible "hehe" sound, like a dilapidated bellows, or a punctured ball that can no longer blow.

When Ji Mingze came in, he saw Lu Can covering his ears vigorously.

Although he was about the same age as Lu Can, Ji Mingze had experienced much more than Lu Can, and he could guess the outline of things at a glance.

He walked up to Lu Can and touched Lu Can's cheek with the knuckles of his index finger.Lu Can was woken up from a dream by the cold touch, Ji Mingze blocked his sight and asked, "Do you want to go home?"

"I don't want to." Lu Can said firmly.

"Then you've been watching here?"

"I..." Lu Can hesitated, "I don't know what to do."

Because his parents protected him so well, this was the first time he had formally faced the parting of life and death, so from notifying everyone of the bad news to now, Lao Mao has been busy before and after, and he has not been of any help.

Ji Mingze looked at Lu Can's phone: "What's on the screen?"

what is itIt was Qin Yuanyuan who sent him a message. Lu Can flipped his wrist, and a line of simple text jumped into his eyes.

[Brother Can, there is light ahead, but I can't go on, please take a look for me:)]

At the last moment before he died, she was encouraging him to walk away from the pain of broken love.

Well, if you don't do something, that lively girl may disappear into the world forever with a few hundred thousand yuan.

"I warn you, don't go too far." Liu Guan was a little angry at being provoked by the messy Qin family. "Say, how much do you want in the end? If you can accept it, I will give it to you. If you piss me off, you will get a penny." Can't get it!"

Qin Nan looked embarrassed, and was very entangled in whether to lower the price.After a while, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, "We're going to—"

"We want the truth."

Lu Can interrupted Qin Nan, "I know Qin Yuanyuan, she will not commit suicide easily. We need to know the truth."

Chapter 20 Back to "No, it's not cold, I just really want to get back in the car quickly." Come back to you quickly.

Yes, Lu Can and Mao Zhouyan knew Qin Yuanyuan very well.Even though she was born in such a family, she never gave up her longing for tomorrow. She works hard every day to earn money. As long as she spares time, she will learn to recharge her batteries. Lu Can has never even heard her complain about being tired from work. She will always work hard and always make progress , Always plan your life with the most positive attitude.

She is still one step away from the director position she wants, and she has not had time to buy a big house and bring her parents to live in the city. How can such a person suddenly commit suicide?

The Qin family has decided to use their daughter's death in exchange for money. Hearing this, Qin's mother retorted: "The leader has told us the truth, don't you trust the people's police? Mom is sorry for you!"

With a splitting headache from her crying and howling, Lu Can closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I don't believe it, I just think her death was not as simple as imagined."

The video cannot tell a lie. Since the police said that Qin Yuanyuan jumped off the building herself, it must have jumped off the building.

But the reason for jumping off the building, he must get to the bottom of it.

Not wanting to argue with the Qin family in front of Yuan Meier, Lu Can greeted Lao Mao and left with Ji Mingze.

The temperature of Bincheng after the snowfall was almost the same as before. As soon as he left the hospital, Lu Can's eyebrows were covered with a layer of hoarfrost. With a white down jacket and white trousers, his whole body seemed to melt into the boundless white snow.

He was very upset and wanted to take a walk to sort out his thoughts, but he couldn't bear Ji Mingze to be frozen with him, so he threw the car keys to the other party, "I want to blow the wind by myself, you can drive the car away, and I will find a substitute driver to get it back tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he guessed that Ji Mingze would let him get in the car, after all, it was quite cold outside.But seeing Ji Mingze nodding his head, he got into the car by himself without saying a word.

Lu Can let out a long sigh of relief.

Sometimes, he really appreciates Ji Ming's honesty.

Turning around, Lu Can walked aimlessly along the edge of the road.Stepping on the snow makes a "creaking" sound, which can make people forget Qin's mother's crying for a while.

Looking back on this period of time, whenever she saw that Qin Yuanyuan was not in the right state, she would excuse it with excuses such as working overtime and being tired.Her disguise was almost watertight, so everyone couldn't find out what happened, and couldn't find a point to break through.

... No, Lu Can suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Why is there no breakthrough point?When he broke up with Duan Yuyang, Qin Yuanyuan asked him out for dinner.After dinner, a woman suddenly rushed in and poured drinks all over them.At that time, Qin Yuanyuan also got away with a few words, and because she believed in her character, Lu Can forgot about it afterwards and never mentioned it to anyone else.

Now it seems...Qin Yuanyuan's death may have something to do with what the woman said!

He speculated as he walked: at the woman's age, her husband should be a middle-aged man.And thanks to her workaholic personality, she has a very small social circle, and usually only hangs out with Bo Yuan and others, and meets new people—especially middle-aged men, basically at work.

In addition to customers, all you can come into contact with at work are colleagues.

Thinking of this, Lu Can took out his mobile phone with little battery left. He had left this kid's phone number when he was helping Qin Nan find a job.

"Hey, Brother Chan."

The environment over there is relatively quiet, and the people from Xinpu should have left.Lu Can said "hmm", "I'm not feeling well, so I'm leaving first, and I will entertain my uncle and aunt after two days. Where are you going to live today?"

Knowing about Lu Can's financial situation, Qin Nan spoke very politely to him: "No hospitality, no hospitality. My mother said she wanted to visit my sister's rental house, but I'm afraid my dad won't accept it, so I'd better find a hotel first."

"Okay, then you guys have a good rest. By the way, Xiao Nan, I have something to ask you." After a pause, Lu Can said, "I know a little about the situation between Yuanmeier and Xinpu. Don't tell your parents, the deceased. It's gone, I hope that in their hearts, she will always be the best daughter."

"No problem, I just heard a few words, and I don't know exactly what's going on, so I won't talk nonsense!" Qin Nan agreed very happily.

After pretending to be concerned, Lu Can hung up the phone, thinking that he had made the right bet.

Qin Yuanyuan chose to jump from the Xinpu Building instead of any other place. Someone or something inside must have driven her to a dead end.

It seems that we have to go to Xinpu to find out the situation.

"Hula~Hula~"

At this time, the north wind was blowing towards his face with snowflakes. He quickly lowered his head and buried his chin in his collar. Suddenly, he realized that he had forgotten to change his trousers when he left the house in such a hurry. Now he was wearing a pair of corduroy home trousers.After walking for nearly half an hour in the cold wind, his legs were frozen to the point of loss of consciousness, and even his feet were numb.

If it goes on like this, no one will take Yuanmeier to watch the sunrise, so Lu Can jumps on the spot twice and decides to take a taxi home.As soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a "beep" behind him.

He turned his head subconsciously and saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road.

There are familiar people in the car.

It turned out that Ji Ming hadn't left, and had been following him silently. When he was tired from walking or cold, he could return to the car at any time, and return to a familiar and warm place.

Lu Can suddenly remembered that the night he came back from the hotel to catch a rape, there was also a car following him like this to help him light the way forward.

At this moment, probably because the fear, confusion, and sadness accumulated for a long time found an outlet, Lu Can's nose suddenly became sore.He didn't care about burying his chin, tidying up his clothes that had been blown up by the wind, or the fresh snow all over the ground, and ran towards the car.

Ji Mingze helped him open the car door ahead of time, and Lu Can almost jumped onto the passenger seat.

"What's the rush?" Ji Mingze asked, "It's freezing?"

"No, it's not cold, I just really want to get back in the car quickly." Come back to your side quickly.

Ji Mingze took out something orange from his pocket, tore off the package and stuck it on Lu Can's knee.Lu Can lowered his head and found that it was a piece of warm baby, "You actually carry this thing with you? It's so warm."

Autumn and winter are extremely difficult for Ji Mingze. The old injury on his back is often itchy and tingling, and it will even turn into continuous pain in rainy and snowy weather.So Dong Zhuo often sticks some hot stickers on the lining of his suit, which he asked Dong Zhuo for.

"Afraid of cooling down, take it with you. But there is only one piece. Is your knee cold on the other side?"

Lu Can said, "Fortunately, it's a little numb."

Ji Mingze raised his eyebrows slightly, and touched the thigh of the person next to him with the back of his hand, the tentacles were icy cold - is this okay?

He turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and then turned his palms down, covering Lu Can's knees directly.

Lu Can's cheeks were burning badly, he didn't know if straight men would help each other cover their knees, anyway, he and Lao Mao couldn't.

"No, no need," Lu Can's tongue tied, "Don't worry about me, I can slow down."

As if he didn't hear it, Ji Mingze asked, "Why are you blushing?"

"...The air conditioner is too big, don't dawdle, drive quickly."

Lu Can lowered his head like an ostrich, and never mentioned the matter of asking Ji Mingze to let go.

After dealing with the police station and looking for a hotel to settle up with the Qin family, it was already night. Lao Mao and Zhou Yan couldn't sleep, so they came to Lu Can's house in a panic.

Lu Can told them about his idea of ​​going to Xinpu to inquire about news, and the old man frowned: "Did you see Mr. Liu in the morning? It seems that he is not easy to deal with. Yuanmeier came from his company building. Next... jump, there will be a lot of unannounced visits by reporters in the near future, they will definitely increase their vigilance, you have to be careful."

"Well, of course I can't sneak in." Lu Can thought for a moment, "Since they are a financial company, they definitely need to find customers. Brother Yanzi, I need your help."

"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Yan's voice was so hoarse that it was not like a human voice, "Say whatever you want, and do whatever I can, including dying."

"...Bah, bah, bah, what the hell are you talking nonsense? One death is not enough, and another one is needed?"

Lao Mao seldom swears. It is estimated that during the day he pulled Zhou Yan and apologized to the police while dealing with the Qin family, and he was suffocated.

Lu Can was also aroused by this sentence: "Zhou Yan, do you think I will let you die? What do you think of me?"

"Originally, I was meaningless to live. If I had known that Yuanmeier had suicidal thoughts, I should have let me suffer instead of her..."

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Yan curled up into a ball, bowing his head and talking to himself as if he lost his soul.Before he could finish speaking, he felt a tight neckline, and then a severe colic pain came from his ribs - Lu Can leaned over and grabbed his collar, and punched him directly in the stomach!

Zhou Yan grunted in pain, turned over and tried to press Lu Can under him.However, after Teacher Ji's careful guidance, Lu Can is no longer the old Zhanwu scum, kneeling on the edge of the sofa with one knee, resisting the force of Zhou Yan's pull with his elbow, and at the same time punching down a few times, Zhou Yan felt that his internal organs were about to be knocked out seat!

"Fuck, Xiaocan, are you really fucking playing with me?!"

Zhou Yan let out a low growl, and since he couldn't get up, he raised his leg and kicked Lu Can's knee vigorously.Lu Can couldn't stand stably after being kicked, and he threw himself forward. Zhou Yan grabbed him by the neckline... The two 27-year-old men rolled to the ground like this, fighting in an ugly ball.

Lao Mao stood far away from them, watching with cold eyes, not knowing whether he had no strength or didn't want to care, and even called Xiao Mao while his younger brothers were fighting, and told her to go to bed early after finishing her homework.

Ten minutes later, Lu Can and Zhou Yan were like two fish out of water, lying on the carpet gasping for breath.

Lao Mao sat on the other end of the carpet, smacking his mouth: "Yo, he really is a good brother, and he didn't even say hello to his face."

Zhou Yan grinned in pain: "Lu Can, are you insane? I'm not clear about having sex with men, why beat me?"

"I'm not clear about who I want to date a guy. You're smart if you change a girl in two days?" Lu Can sneered, "My sister Yuan is gone. You have to die or live. If you have time, you might as well think about it." How do you want to help her find out the truth!"

"I just, I just think..." Having said that, Zhou Yan paused for a long time, and his voice choked up when he spoke again, "I just think I'm a fucking bastard, if I can care more about her, Be nice to her and things might not turn out to be..."

Lao Mao always said that Qin Yuanyuan was close to Lu Can, including when she usually played together, she was always around Lu Can, but everyone knew that those eyes that were cast on Lu Can ended up on another person.

It's just that their personalities are completely different, and their attitudes towards life are very different. Facing the secret love that is doomed to have no results, everyone unanimously chose to remain silent.Including that Lu Can often got angry with Zhou Yan because he couldn't get used to Zhou Yan always swaying in front of Qin Yuanyuan with traces of his affair.

until today.

"Okay," Lao Mao took a deep breath, "Xiao Can is right, the matter has come to this point, regret is the most useless emotion. And it is not you who forced her to end her life, I believe she wants to watch you live well in heaven Finish the rest of your life. Come on, you two don't lie down, get up."

Lao Mao patted his butt, sat up first, and handed Zhou Yan his hand.

Zhou Yan stood up and passed his hand to Lu Can, "Xiao Can, thank you just now. I feel a lot better after venting."

"It doesn't matter, your injury is heavier than mine, it should be me thanking you for accompanying me to practice boxing."

Zhou Yan: "..."

When the two younger brothers fought, Lao Mao deliberately did not fight. Today, everyone is in a bad mood and needs to vent.So when I saw them fighting back, but didn't greet them in the face - giving the other side enough face, I let them vent.Especially Zhou Yan, he was most guilty of Qin Yuanyuan's death, if he was not allowed to be released, Lao Mao was really afraid that he would do something stupid on impulse.

Now that the fight is over, and the unlocking is over, it's time to talk about something serious.Lao Mao asked: "Xiao Can, what is your plan, tell us about it - don't make those too mysterious, let's focus on practicality."

"Look, you're nagging again...I want to meet Yuanmei'er's previous director. Brother Yanzi should be better at approaching women."

"OK, leave it to me. Tomorrow I'll squat at the gate of Xinpu. Can you go with me, Xiaocan? When will I pick you up?"

"I'll go with you," Lu Can glanced at the warm baby on the coffee table, "but you don't need to pick it up, I, I'll find someone else to pick it up."
