[Pretender] Branch Road

How did Ruby die?Why did he die suddenly?And Mr. Steff too.The official statement from the police station is that he hanged himself.But Diane didn't believe this statement at all. Why did he hang himself if he didn't commit a crime?And the two of them hanged themselves together?After crying bitterly, the word "conspiracy" was left in Diane's mind.Although she is only a nurse, she has also involved some extracurricular knowledge.It's like the difference between hanging yourself and strangling yourself.Diane had checked the marks on Ruby's and Steff's necks.The strangle marks of suicide and homicide are not the same, the simplest one is parallel and the other is upward, and the homicide must have struggled, so there were scratch marks on the neck.And Ruby and Steff's cell didn't even have a beam to hang himself on.

It's just that Diane met Ruby in the hospital and didn't go to the scene.The police department had a point anyway, and they could have said that they locked Ruby and Stev in a room with beams the last night, which happened to be a room with ropes in it.And the strangle marks on Ruby's and Steff's necks are parallel, so it is a homicide!Someone killed her husband!Di'an didn't know how she got home. After returning to Ming's house, she listed all the questions in her mind.

Someone killed Ruby, but why should the police conceal it.What is the murderer's motive?Diane has never offended anyone in Shanghai, let alone Ruby has not been to China a few times.Who wants to treat her like this?The only clues are Zhong Lei and Zhong Tianping.But it is obvious that Zhong Tianping may also be a victim, and now he is dead without evidence.However, the problem went back a bit. After the little cousin got the list of the ground staff, she ran to the police station to check the list with Mr. Steff.Only the Ming family brothers and the people in the police station knew about this matter.If the other party had expected from the beginning that the Ming family would go to get the list, they would definitely have given a false list, and Zhong Tianping died when Di An finished going to the police station and was about to investigate further. It was obviously an assassination.And it was on the same day, which means that after Di An came out of the police station or before he went out, someone had tipped off the news that he was about to silence him.

Therefore, the other party is likely to be someone from the police station!

It's just... the eldest brother also said that this matter can't be investigated further until Ruby is released.If the Ming family's status in Shanghai will suffer until this point, the opponent cannot be a simple merchant or involve politics.These are just Diane's personal guesses.Regardless of whether the other party is really targeting Diane or the Ming family, they should not attack Lu Bi.

In just three days, almost everyone in the Rollo Kraft family came to Shanghai.Even the eldest sister who was out of town immediately bought a ticket and rushed back.

It is very difficult to have snow in Shanghai in winter, but this year, it is bitingly cold.Even the wind that blows on the face carries a cold dampness.Diane hugged and stood with the entire Rollo Kraft family, all wearing black mourning clothes standing in the church listening to the priest's prayer.Diane, who hadn't closed her eyes for almost three days, wobbled in her arms and nearly fell down, but fortunately Minglou had quick eyes and hands to support her.Diane's hands were cold, and her bloodless face was paler against the mourning dress.There were sobbing sounds in the church from time to time. Diane stood there with a blank face listening to the pastor's eulogy. She looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window and suddenly wanted to go out.In fact she did as well, walking out of the church with her arms in her arms in full view.

"...Look! It's snow, okay!" Diane stretched out his hand to welcome the little snowflake. "It's Dad."

Diane didn't like eulogies, she didn't want to go on listening to the pastor read Ruby's life, as if he really had left altogether.

"Okay, Dad will protect us."

****

The days that followed were very difficult for Diane.The Rollo Kraft family asked the embassy to intervene with the government.But what's the use?Ruby was obviously killed, but no forensic doctor came forward to prove it.Even if the police station insisted that it was suicide, even if they wanted to convict, they could only convict the policeman on duty for dereliction of duty, stripping off his uniform and going to jail.The director sent people to negotiate with Diane and the Roloccaf family many times, hoping that they would not raise the issue to international conflicts.The family members of the police officers on duty also knelt at the gate of Ming's house, begging Di An to forgive them.Saying they are innocent, they don't know these things at all.

Diane looked at the family members and smiled, "They may be innocent, so isn't my husband innocent? Your son and husband are still alive, but they are just in prison. What about my daughter's father? Why did you come to me? Why not go to the police station who took them as scapegoats?"

Ruby's parents couldn't accept the death of their son and brother. After the funeral, the two old people began to feel a little abnormal.It was already a week later when the final negotiation results came out, and what Diane wanted was not a superficial judgment.

"I want to hide the lives of people behind me. One life for another." Di'an said looking out the window at the family members who were still kneeling at the gate of Ming's house.

"Diane..." Minglou wanted to say that it would be of no benefit to her to investigate further, but he had no position to speak.It wasn't him who lost the most important person. "If there's anything I can do to help, I'll help you."

Diane didn't speak, she raised her head and sighed to keep her tears from flowing. "I'm going back to Paris to deal with some things first, and when I'm done... I'll be back."

When Diane left, she didn't let the Ming family know, she was afraid that she would cry when she looked at her elder sister.She didn't even bring a suitcase, so she carried a bag and left Ming's house alone.

Mingtai was the first to notice, he smelled a fragrance.When he opened the door, he found a bowl of borscht and a note at the door.

"I'm sorry Mingtai, the soup I promised to make for you has been delayed for so long."

Then when Mingtai rushed into Diane's room, she had already left.

After Diane returned to Paris, Der Spiegel had called the Roloccaf family, but Diane was not there.After the Chinese New Year, Minglou and Mingcheng went back to Bada to study, but they still couldn't find Di'an.Where will she go?Where can she go alone with the child?Anna didn't know, and neither did Rosa.

Until half a year later, the Ming family received a postcard from Diane.There is no shipping address, only one sentence and a signature.

"Everything is fine." Signed by Sun Wanqiu.

Afterwards, the Ming family could receive postcards from Diane every year around the Spring Festival, and this collection lasted for three years.

So much has happened in these three years,

The Anti-Japanese War has been fought for two years, and Shanghai fell as early as 37 years ago.The Shanghai Concession became an isolated island.Minglou was teaching at the University of Pakistan before finishing his master-doctoral studies, and Mingcheng was his teaching assistant.Now he has returned to China, and the young master Mingtai originally did not want to be under Minglou's hands after studying in the University of Pakistan, and then transferred to the University of Hong Kong.

However, in the summer of 39, a woman and a child stood at the gate of the Ming family.

"Auntie! I'm fine!" the little girl waved at Ming Jing and said.

The author has something to say:

Leave a message and I will not reply for the time being! !I should publish this chapter together with the previous chapter

Everyone felt that there was a sudden turn of events, that they suddenly didn't like Diane.

Wait for everyone to sort out their thoughts first!

Rupee was murdered, who and why?Next I will say, Ruby gave Diane the last lesson with his life

Silly Baitian is over ╮(╯_╰)╭Diane has evolved completely

wait for her to come back

Ruby was framed for bringing contraband, so he was detained by the customs and sent to the police station. After being locked up for three days, Diane and his elder brother went to find Ruby.Diane felt that the Ming family had a face-to-face meeting, so the police should not torture Ruby or anything, so she decided to take the legal route.Then, when investigating who framed Lu Bi, the Zhong family, who might be the criminal, was silenced.Because Diane went to the police station to confirm the list of Ruby and his uncle, only the Ming family and the police station knew, so when the Zhong family was killed, Diane guessed that it was the people in the police station who did it. I didn't expect this, but Ruby was killed that night, and the official statement was that he hanged himself, so Diane couldn't accept this fact.The elder brother had hinted to Diane about the depth of the backstage before, so don't chase after people if they are fine.The eldest brother doesn't know who the murderer is, but it is estimated that there is a big head behind it.Di An must be investigated to the end. Even the big head of the Ming family will suffer a dark loss. Di An is determined to accept the official statement and accept the handling method, at least not to cause trouble for the Ming family, and then take it away.Because Di'an didn't know why the big head wanted to kill Lu Bi, and didn't know whether he was targeting himself or the Ming family.So at the beginning, I didn't want to drag the Ming family into trouble. I was afraid that if it was aimed at the Ming family, I picked Di An to attack, because if Di An wanted to ask his elder brother for help, the Ming family would definitely help.The next four years are the content of the next chapter!

So... Do you understand? ?
