Yang Chenxi slowly moved to his mother's side and knelt down, crying: "Mom, why are you so stupid?"
"It's not worth spending your whole life for this kind of person."
"I'm going to live a good life, and I want to let you enjoy happiness. What do you want me to do?"
His mother slowly raised her head, smoothed her messy hair, and looked at her son with a faint smile on her face: "Don't be afraid, I don't have long to live."
"This is my life, not to blame anyone."
"I have lived here all my life, was born here, and will die here. I will not go to the hospital."
"Be kind to your wife in the future and don't let anyone bully her."
"That old beast is finally dead and can no longer harm anyone."
She touched her son's face with trembling hands: "Chen Xi, live well and don't think about anything."
"Mom will bless you in heaven, and I will watch over you."
As she spoke, she began to tremble all over and foamed at the corners of her mouth.
Only then did Yang Chenxi notice something was wrong. He shouted anxiously: "Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Seeing that he had run out of words, Yang Chenxi turned around in panic and shouted from outside: "Come quickly, help!"
Zhou Zhimo, Liang Yinuo and others who heard the sound rushed in quickly.
Yang Chenxi cried and shouted: "Hurry up, something happened to my mother..."
His mother held Yang Chenxi's hand tightly and whispered in his ear: "Son, stop shouting."
"I'm not going anywhere, not to the hospital, I'm going to die here."
"I can't be saved. I drank a bottle of medicine...I died quickly. You buried me..."
The intermittent sounds were no longer heard, and his hands dropped.
He slowly closed his eyes and lay in Yang Chenxi's arms. His wrinkled face looked very calm. The tears in the corners of his eyes slowly slid down, sparkling under the light.
Yang Chenxi's cry from his chest resounded through the night in Maple Bay, startling the birds in the bamboo forest, screaming in panic, and flying away.
The wind blew, the light bulbs hanging under the eaves swayed, and the ground in the yard was stained with blood, telling the story of the thrilling fight that had just happened.
A woman spent her whole life's strength and courage to end her life as a joke.
Yang Chenxi collapsed on the ground, hugging his mother, lowering his head and sobbing. The fate of fate had already bent his waist and seemed to take away the last bit of his strength.
Several cars were driving on the mountain road, and the trees on both sides illuminated by their car lights were variegated. After what had happened just now, it was a bit creepy, and no one said anything.
Zhou Zhimo led the team back to the city. He did not go home but went to the office.
I made a cup of hot tea and sat in the chair. The scene just now was in my mind and I couldn’t get it away...
The small town that had been quiet for many years suddenly saw a wave of murder cases, which made Zhou Zhimo feel suffocated deep in his heart.
Because in the process of solving Liu Yuqin's case, he solved an unsolved case more than 20 years ago, Zhou Zhimo received a commendation.
At the commendation meeting, Zhou Zhimo looked serious and did not smile.
After the meeting, the leader came over to him with a smile and asked: "What's wrong with you? You're not in a good state."
Zhou Zhimo forced out a smile: "It's okay."
The leader patted him on the shoulder: "Now society is harmonious, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and our work is much easier."
"So many things happened suddenly. It's normal for you to have emotions in your heart that are difficult to resolve."
"It's all a tangled legacy that just exploded."
Zhou Zhimo sighed softly: "If I had paid more attention to the Maple Bay case and those two lives, maybe it wouldn't have happened."
"If I had not investigated Yang Chenlin's suicide case in depth, none of these things would have happened in the future."
The leader pointed to the sofa, and the two of them went over to sit down. He said to Zhou Zhimo, "You don't have to be mentally burdened about this matter."
"Whatever you sow, you will get what you want."
"What they did back then has laid the foundation for disaster. You just did what you should do."
"You have to remember that you are serving the people of the city and thinking about everyone."
"It is a good thing to have empathy, but you must learn to focus on the overall situation, stand up slowly, and protect the sky for everyone."
Zhou Zhimo nodded.
The leader stood up and prepared to leave: "You did a good job. The unsolved case back then was a knot in the hearts of many people, and you finally opened it."
"Good job!"
Zhou Zhimo returned to the office, leaning on the back of his chair, closing his eyes and frowning slightly.
Liang Yinuo knocked lightly and came in. He bent down and looked at Zhou Zhimo: "Master?"
Zhou Zhimo pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit."
Liang Yinuo sat down and said tentatively: "Master, something happened again."
Zhou Zhimo sat up and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Liang Yinuo hurriedly reported: "During the construction of the Jiangheside Community, a body was dug out."
Zhou Zhimo stood up hurriedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Liang Yinuo followed closely behind him, closed the door and ran outside.
Sitting in the car, Liang Yinuo said in detail: "When the construction team was digging the foundation and the excavator was loading the truck, they saw bones."
"The driver was a young and timid man who was so scared that he couldn't even operate the machine."
"Others called the contractor and originally wanted to suppress the matter."
"After all, this kind of thing has been reported at the construction site, and I am worried that the community will not be sold well."
"As a result, the young man was so frightened that he hallucinated, drove the excavator randomly, and overturned an earth-moving truck."
"The contractor was so angry that he was going to teach the young man a lesson with a shovel. Others were afraid that something would happen and quickly called the police."
Zhou Zhimo looked at the red light: "Have people got it under control?"
Liang Yinuo replied: "Everyone is fine. The colleague who went first is already dealing with it."
Soon we arrived at the construction site, and a warning cordon had been set up around it.
Where the bones were found, several police officers were rummaging through them with shovels.
Zhou Zhimo asked the contractor: "Before construction, was there anything different here?"
With a smile on his face, the contractor handed over a cigarette, but Zhou Zhimo refused: "I won't smoke."
The contractor quickly took back his hand and replied: "This is just the vacant wasteland, there is nothing different about it."
Zhou Zhimo looked around and saw that this area was all wasteland, with no one growing crops all year round.
Judging from the depth of the dig, the place where the body was buried was not too deep.
The contractor looked at him and continued: "After digging a few times, I dug out this."
He grimaced helplessly: "Who would have thought that there is this down there? It's true."
"If word gets out, how will the house be sold in the future?"
"Police, you have to find out as soon as possible. Don't be afraid that something really happened."
Zhou Zhimo said in a deep voice: "Okay, you can take the workers to work."
