Chapter 140
When we arrived at the funeral parlor, the sky was already slightly pale, and there were neither cicadas nor birds singing in the severe winter morning, and only the north wind whistling in our ears was left in the silent world.
Xu Yuan got out of the car and looked around.A row of small three-story buildings not far away stood alone in the center of the large courtyard, where the coffins were temporarily parked.She took a deep breath and let it out again.The white gas climbed onto her eyelashes and condensed into a layer of frost, blurring her vision.She walked towards the three-storey building in this dense atmosphere, every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife.
Xu Yongping's coffin is parked in the innermost room on the third floor of the small building.In order to prevent journalists from secretly taking pictures, the entire third floor has been put under martial law, and only relatives and the police are allowed in and out.
When Xu Yuan and Wen Lei went upstairs, they saw Uncle Qi Shi and two men in police uniforms waiting for her.When they saw Xu Yuan, they immediately made way for her to go in to see their father.
Qi Shi put his arms around his niece's shoulders and led her to Xu Yongping's resting room, and Wen Lei followed behind them.
The door opened with a "squeak", and a black-and-white photo of Xu Yongping on the wall flickered under the dim candlelight.Xu Yongping's smile is fixed on this 40-year-old photo in the uniform of a public servant. He looks very young, with a polite and cautious smile, and a hint of bookishness.
There are several plates of fruits and tributes placed under the photo, but the deceased did not enjoy it.
Further down is the frozen coffin.It is said to be an ice coffin, but it is just a large freezer, which can only "keep fresh" the last face of the deceased for a while.
Xu Yongping's body was lying in an ice coffin, surrounded by many yellow and white chrysanthemums, but the expression on his face did not show a trace of tranquility.His brows were slightly frowned, his lips were pursed tightly, his teeth were clenched tightly, and what attracted the most attention was his half-raised arms...
When Xu Yuan saw her father's remains, she didn't know what it was like. She could imagine how painful his father was struggling in the last moments, so that his expression was grim, and his arm muscles were stiff and could not be put back to his sides.
Seeing Xu Yuan staring at her father's upraised arm, Qi Shi explained: "Gas poisoning is like this. After 24 hours, the muscles will become soft, and your father's hand will be able to be put down by then. "
Xu Yuan ignored these, but went straight to her father's ice coffin, knelt down close to her father's face, and said softly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Get up, Yuan Yuan is back."
Qi Shi and Wen Lei were behind her, hearing her words, tears fell down instantly.
Xu Yuan stretched out her hand and shook Xu Yongping's arm, choked up and said, "Dad, get up, don't sleep, don't make such jokes with me, okay?"
She looked back at Qi Shi and Wen Lei, with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Why? Why doesn't he get up and look at me?"
"Yuanyuan, don't cry, your tears can't fall on your father, otherwise he will not be able to walk safely." Qi Shi felt a prickly pain in his heart when asked by Xu Yuan. I feel sorry for Xu Yuan and her sister Qi Li.
"Why did my dad do this? Uncle, tell me, what's going on?" Xu Yuan stood up, shook Qi Shi's arm back and forth, and asked excitedly.
Qi Shi didn't know how to answer, so he pointed to the door and said, "Those two policemen are in charge of your father's case, you can ask them later."
Xu Yuan let go of Qi Shi, and went back to her father's coffin and wept uncontrollably.Both Qi Shi and Wen Lei knew that this kind of thing cannot be comforted, and they can only calm down a little by letting her cry her tears dry.
Time slipped by, and the two policemen at the door gradually became anxious. The elder among them looked at his watch and finally decided to go in and hurry.But as soon as he reached the door, he saw the door of the mourning hall opened, and Xu Yuan came out with red and swollen eyes.
"Are you the officer Zhang who called me?" Xu Yuan asked the older policeman.
"It's me, are you Xu Yuan?" Officer Zhang said, reaching out to shake hands with Xu Yuan, and then pointing to the younger policeman beside him, he introduced: "This is Officer Wang Ruhai from the Criminal Police Team of the City Bureau who is in charge of this case." .About your father's case, you can communicate with him in the future."
"Hello, Officer Wang." Xu Yuan simply greeted her, and got straight to the point: "How did my father die?"
"Judging from the environment at the scene, the state of the deceased, and your mother's condition, we initially suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. But if we want to know the exact cause, we need to conduct an autopsy. This is what we want to talk to you about, you guys Does the family agree to an autopsy on the deceased's body?" Wang Ruhai said.
Xu Yuan thought for a while, then asked, "According to your survey of the scene, besides gas poisoning, are there other possibilities?"
"Of course! But it's not convenient for me to disclose the specific details here. I can only tell you that your father's case is full of doubts. I'm afraid it's not as simple as gas poisoning." Wang Ruhai glanced at Qi Shi and Wen Lei, without further explanation.As a policeman, he must remain suspicious at all times.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately said excitedly, "You mean, someone killed my father?"
Wang Ruhai shook his head and said, "I didn't say that, but we can't rule out any possibility yet."
Xu Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Now everyone says that my dad committed suicide in fear of crime. If you can help me prove that he did not commit suicide, will it be possible to find out who was behind the frame and murder of him?"
Wang Ruhai spread his hands and said noncommittally: "I can promise you nothing now, except for one thing - our police will never wrong a good person, and we will never let a bad person go. As for those rumors, those involving the procuratorate and the Discipline Inspection Commission I am not qualified to comment on the terms of reference."
Xu Yuan pondered for a long time, and said firmly: "Officer Wang, I believe in you. I agree to dissect my father's body. As long as I can find out the truth of the matter, I am willing to pay any price!"
"Yuan! What are you talking about?" Qi Shi stared at Xu Yuan in surprise, and said, "Our family is a scholarly family, and we value tradition the most, and we pay attention to 'burying the earth for safety'. How could you let your father's body suffer such This kind of torture? Your mother is unconscious now, if she is here, can she allow you to mess around like this? "
Wen Lei also chimed in: "That's right, Yuanyuan, this is disrespectful to your father, you have to think about it carefully."
Wang Ruhai sneered at what they said: "What era is this, and you still practice these feudal superstitions? Mr. Qi, I heard that you are the boss of a big company, how come you are so old-fashioned?"
"It's not your turn to intervene in our family's affairs." Qi Shi said with a cold face.
