Today is the seventh day since Bai Zhuzhu passed away.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Zhu Ya arrived at the cemetery on the west side of City Y. She got off the taxi, and the cold wind blew away the fragrance of lilies in the car. Snowflakes fell on her black coat for a few seconds before turning into droplets.

This winter is undoubtedly frighteningly cold.

"Miss Zhu."

When Zhu Ya heard the voice and turned around, it turned out to be Police Officer Chi Xiuchi whom he had met once.

Chi Xiu walked over from the parking lot. Chi Xiu, who had taken off her police uniform, was wearing a long black leather overcoat with a sweater of the same color inside. Boots are neat.

Didn't expect to meet here.

"Officer Chi."

"Are you coming to the funeral too?"

Today is Bai Zhuzhu's funeral, in fact Zhu Ya got the news from Bai Zhuzhu's assistant.

The day before yesterday, she received a call from Bai Zhuzhu's assistant. It turned out that Bai Zhuzhu's parents came back from abroad. The relationship made a special phone call to greet, and even proposed to meet.

After much hesitation, Zhu Ya excused herself with the excuse of being too busy with work. She hated being good at communicating with others, and even herself joked that a person like her was suitable for living alone.

Bai Zhuzhu had never introduced her parents to her before she was alive, and she didn't know how to get along with her parents after she died.

But no matter how he didn't know what to do, Zhu Ya had to attend the funeral no matter what.

Chi Xiu looked stern, walked to Zhu Ya's side and looked at the bunch of lilies she was holding in her hand, "She likes lilies the most."

Hearing this, Zhu Ya froze in place.

Bai Zhuzhu likes lilies, of course she knows.

But how did Chi Xiu know?

"Bai Zhuzhu and I have known each other since childhood."

This surprised Zhu Ya, who was at the police when they first met.In the game, Chi Xiu acted as if he didn't know Bai Zhuzhu at all, and the two had known each other since childhood.

"Routine."

This can be regarded as an explanation for Zhu Ya.

Zhu Ya didn't ask any further questions. The two walked along a cobblestone road in the cemetery. Snow piled up in the surrounding green space, and only a little bit of greenery could be seen.

There is a Western-style church in this cemetery, and mourning halls will be built there for funerals.

When Zhu Ya and Chi Xiu arrived, there were already a lot of people outside the mourning hall. Zhu Ya didn't know anyone here. It was rare that a few well-known people were celebrities who had seen them on TV. They faded away from the stage. She was dressed brightly and all in black, with a solemn and mournful expression.

Outside the mourning hall is a black and white photo of Bai Zhuzhu during her lifetime. In the photo, she is still beautiful, surrounded by her favorite lilies.

The Shining Star Group has strong financial resources and a wide range of businesses. The friends who came today must be family friends of the Bai family besides Bai Zhuzhu.

She has met a few of Bai Zhuzhu's friends. At that time, she only thought that the family background of a circle should be similar. She never thought that Bai Zhuzhu's family background was so shocking. No wonder there are several gatherings. No matter when Bai Zhuzhu appears, as long as she appears main character.

It's not that Zhu Ya didn't think that if she had said this earlier, the two of them might not be able to date for a year.

Just as he was thinking, a woman with a pale and haggard face came over.

Zhu Ya happened to meet this person before, his name was...

"Linda."

Chi Xiu had already called out the name first, Zhu Ya thought, it really was a circle.

Linda's Chinese name is Luo Fei, but for some reason she doesn't like this name, so everyone around her calls her Linda.She can be said to be Bai Zhuzhu's best friend. She grew up together and studied abroad together. The relationship can be said to be very deep.

Linda glanced at Zhu Ya first, then asked Chi Xiu, "Axiu, why are you two here together?"

With a familiar tone, Zhu Ya showed a subtle expression. She knew that Linda had always disliked her, and she could feel it from the first time they met.

Now maybe I can understand some of the reasons, probably because I don't like a powerless little person like her.

"Just ran into each other in the parking lot."

"Oh." Linda looked at Zhu Ya again, "You came early."

The sarcasm in the words couldn't be more obvious.

"There is some traffic jam on the road."

Zhu Ya didn't want to explain too much.

Linda couldn't help snorting when she heard this, "Zhuzhu's heavenly spirit should take a good look at how you know a cold-hearted woman!"

Linda used to feel that Zhu Ya was not sincere towards Bai Zhuzhu. Now that Zhuzhu passed away, she saw it more clearly. This woman walked out of the police calmly without any sadness, and even went to work normally for the next few days.

This kind of person is not the kind of cold-blooded animal. Fortunately, Zhuzhu was obedient and considerate to her when she was alive, but this kind of person is not warm at all!

Zhu Ya's eyes trembled slightly, Linda did not hide the disgust on her face when she said this, but seeing her red and swollen eyes from crying, Zhu Ya suddenly felt that she was not qualified to refute.

At this time, Chi Xiu helped Zhu Ya out of the siege, "In this case, Linda, you'd better not say a few words, but I think Bai Zhuzhu doesn't want to see you like this either."

When Bai Zhuzhu was mentioned, Linda's eyes suddenly turned gray, and she couldn't help sighing, "Everyone is gone, it's useless to say anything."

Chi Xiu knew that the two of them had a deep relationship since they were young, so when she saw her sad, she comforted her, "You can't come back to life after death, a person like her will have a good life no matter where she goes, and she definitely hopes you can live a good life there. "

After speaking, Linda shed tears again.

Chi Xiu patted her on the back lightly, then raised her head to signal Zhu Ya to go in first.

Zhu Ya nodded and walked into the mourning hall alone.

Probably because Bai Zhuzhu loves lilies so much, the mourning hall was not decorated with common chrysanthemums, but clumps of lilies filled the mourning hall.

The bouquet of lilies in his arms suddenly realized how insignificant they were, and Zhu Ya clenched his hands slightly.

In the past, Bai Zhuzhu gave her lilies, so in this last journey, Zhu Ya hoped to give Bai Zhuzhu her favorite flower as well.

However, the lilies that could be received at any time in the past are so rare in this cold winter. It turns out that winter is not the season for lilies to bloom. effort.

But in Zhu Ya's view, things that took a lot of effort were easy for the Bai family or Bai Zhuzhu. Just looking at the lilies inside and outside the mourning hall, you can know that the Bai family is extraordinary.

Here, Zhu Ya met some of Bai Zhuzhu's friends whom she had met before, but they only nodded slightly when they saw Zhu Ya.Thinking of how warm they were to her in the past, Zhu Ya's expression was indifferent.

Zhu Ya found a corner of the last row of seats and sat down, quietly listening to the church bells swaying.

There is a coffin in front of the church, and there are still many lilies on it.

Zhu Ya knew that it was not Bai Zhuzhu's body, but her cremated ashes.

Bai Zhuzhu once said that she must be cremated after death, she didn't want to be bitten by bugs in the cold underground.

Standing next to the coffin was a middle-aged man and woman, wearing the same style of dark coat, with a white orchid pinned to the front of the coat, with grief on their faces and desolate eyes.

It is not difficult to guess that these two are Bai Zhuzhu's parents.

Thinking in this way, Zhu Ya hid behind and watched secretly through the crowd. Just looking at the decent posture and clothes of the two of them, one can tell that they have lived a superior life all year round, and their good education makes their two elders bear the pain of bereavement at this time. , Still expressing my gratitude to every visitor who came forward to greet me.

After a while Linda and Chi Xiu came in together, and Chi Xiu nodded to her as she passed her.

Zhu Ya watched the two of them go straight to Bai's father and mother, not knowing what Linda said, but Bai Zhuzhu's mother held her hand tightly, her mood fluctuated, and tears flickered in her eyes.

Watching this scene, Zhu Ya held her hand tightly, and the faint scent of lilies came from the tip of her nose, very much like the smell of white pearls.

When a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, one can imagine the mood of the white-haired father and the white mother.

The funeral officially began, and Bai Zhuzhu's favorite piano piece - "To Alice" sounded in the church. The cheerful tune washed away some of the sad atmosphere.

Then came speeches from relatives and friends.

Linda walked onto the stage with red eyes, she did not take the manuscript, facing all the people present who saw Bai Zhuzhu off, she first thanked everyone for coming today, and then she slowly talked about her relationship with Bai Zhuzhu past.

From being ignorant to each other when they were young to supporting and studying together in a foreign country, she and Bai Zhuzhu have spent many beautiful and precious memories. She couldn't believe that her friend passed away like this, but she had to face such a cruel fact.

In Linda's eyes, Bai Zhuzhu is beautiful and elegant, kind and gentle. She hopes that Bai Zhuzhu can live happily in another world. As for her best friend's parents, she will take care of her.

Finally Linda said a word.

"I hope that in another world, I can be the first to find you."

Zhu Ya silently lowered her eyes, and Linda's previous words rang again in her ears.

To Bai Zhuzhu, she is indeed a cold-hearted person.

From the first time she realized that she was being pursued by Bai Zhuzhu, she had always been the one who kept a distance. She held a thread connecting her and Bai Zhuzhu, whether it was long or short was up to her.

As Linda said, Bai Zhuzhu is indeed a gentle person. Her meticulous care and appropriate care make people nostalgic. Bai Zhuzhu's love is like the sun, always shining on the people around her.

She has never seen Bai Zhuzhu lose her temper. No matter who the other party is, Bai Zhuzhu can always smile at each other.

Zhu Ya felt that the heavens were always unfair, taking the life of a good person for no reason like this, but he didn't know that there were many people in the world who were sad for him.

The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and as Bai Zhuzhu's coffin was buried in a corner of the cemetery, the funeral ended.

Zhu Ya walked to the tomb alone after everyone left, and put down the lilies in her hands. The snowflakes fell on the lilies. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the air today was filled with a faint fragrance of lilies.

A photo of Bai Zhuzhu's life was pasted on the tombstone. The moment Zhu Ya touched the photo, she immediately retracted her hand.

She stared at her fingertips in a daze.

"I guess you haven't left yet."

Chi Xiu didn't see Zhu Ya just now, so she guessed that she wanted to wait for everyone to leave before coming to worship alone.

The top of her head suddenly darkened, Zhu Ya looked up and saw that it was Chi Xiu walking beside her holding an umbrella.

"It's snowing heavily."

As Chi Xiu said so, her eyes fell on the tombstone in front of her.

"Actually, you don't have to care about Linda's words. Only each other knows about the two of them. She's just too sad."

"Didn't you say that too?"

Chi Xiu was stunned at first, then remembered that when she asked Zhu Ya at the police station if she didn't love Bai Zhuzhu, that's why she was so calm.

"It was just a trick I used as a policeman."

At that time, Hu Lin said that she was quite calm when she arrived, and she was thinking about what kind of person would be so calm after seeing his girlfriend's body.

Zhu Ya turned around, "Linda...you are right, I am such a person."

"Bai Zhuzhu, I failed her."

After speaking, Zhu Ya ignored Chi Xiu's reaction, but planned to leave the cemetery directly.

"Zhu Ya."

Zhu Ya turned around.

"Did you know that Bai Zhuzhu has asthma?"

Snowflakes sprinkled on Zhu Ya's face, it was extremely cold, and she hoped that this winter would pass quickly in her heart.

Chi Xiu looked away from Zhu Ya's back, and finally landed on the bunch of lilies in front of the tomb.

In fact, I originally wanted to ask Zhu Ya if she would like to give her a ride. It is far away from the city center and it is inconvenient to take a taxi.

In the parking lot, Chi Xiu, who was about to start the car, heard the phone ring.

Seeing the caller ID, she subconsciously frowned.

Line connected.

"Axiu, are you leaving?"

Linda's voice was still a little low.

"Well, I was just leaving."

"How's the investigation going?"

Chi Xiu frowned even tighter, "This is a secret."

"If you don't tell me, I can ask my uncle and aunt."

"Then you can ask them." Chi Xiu said this very bluntly.

Heavy breathing came from the phone, and Linda shouted angrily, "I just want to know if it has something to do with that woman Zhu Ya!"

Chi Xiu said impatiently: "I told you, Zhu Ya had an alibi that day. What's more, he has passed away, why do you need to target Zhu Ya again?"

"Look at her heartless person, has she ever shed a tear? Such a person will be fine?!"

Chi Xiu sighed, "I'm a policeman, I only look at the evidence, their feelings have nothing to do with me."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and just when Chi Xiu thought Linda would not speak, a voice suddenly came.

"Chi Xiu, you are as heartless as Zhu Ya."

"beep--"

Chi Xiu threw the phone with the screen off on the passenger seat, and then drove the car away from the parking lot of the cemetery.
