067 The Mist

I don’t know how I fell asleep, but I should be tired of crying, and slowly fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn. I was busy all day and night and worried about my worries. I didn’t close my eyes at all.

After a simple wash, we started to bury the master. I chose the master's cemetery, and it was right next to my grandfather.

Many people came when the burial came, just as I thought to myself.

The master was lonely during his lifetime. When he left, I didn't want him to be lonely.

Almost all the police officers in Xishan City were present, and the lineup was so huge that everyone was amazed, but I didn't feel anything.

After watching the master's urn slowly sink into the soil, my heart that had been hanging for a long time seemed to fall, but I felt like I was being smashed to pieces.

After the ceremony was completed, everyone on the mountain left one by one, and in a blink of an eye, only a few of us were still standing in front of the master's tombstone.

Jiang Bing gently grabbed my hand and gave me a worried look.

I reluctantly smiled and patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

We stood in front of the master's tombstone again for a long time before we slowly went down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, I asked Ziyi and Jiang Bing to go back first. I stayed at the master's house and cleaned up the master's house. Tomorrow will be the master's first seventh, and I want to leave after the first seventh is over.

Ziyi and Jiang Bing understood my difficulties and nodded quietly and left Xishan City that day. Zhao Jiyou stayed to accompany me.

After returning to the master's house, Zhao Jiyou and I thoroughly cleaned up the master's house, put all the things we used, and sealed all the things we use.

When I was busy until the evening, Zhao Jiyou and I sat in the yard and looked at the starry sky with a little dull look.

"There are still forty days..." Zhao Jiyou suddenly spoke.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what Zhao Jiyou said.

I said in front of the Tao that I would go back to Qiyunguan and stay alone for a hundred years after fifty days. Before I knew it, ten days had passed, and the time left for me was only forty days.

For some reason, after the master left, I felt more and more relaxed.

I was afraid, afraid that if I really stayed in Qi Yunguan for the rest of my life, I would probably not know if the master left.

And now I feel a little bit of gratitude in my heart.

"Forty days are enough for me, but everything is done." I said with a reluctant smile.

Zhao Jiyou looked back at me and asked, "Don't you really plan to tell Jiang Bing?"

"Tell her, why don't you tell her?" I lay on the recliner, with my arms pillowed on my head and smiled, "I'm telling her on the forty-ninth day."

Zhao Jiyou rubbed his forehead speechlessly without saying a word.

"Why, are you really planning to go back with me?" I turned to look at Zhao Jiyou and said meaningfully.

Zhao Jiyou said seriously: "Of course, men spit on one side and have to do it when they say it."

"What should I do if Ziyi?" I asked back.

Zhao Jiyou replied in a slight manner: "If she wants to, let her go back with me, if she doesn't want to..."

When the words came to his mouth, Zhao Jiyou suddenly didn't know how to answer. He licked his lips and sighed helplessly, "If she doesn't want to, let her go."

I smiled and didn't say anything. I took out a letter from my arms and handed it to Zhao Jiyou: "This is the letter left by my master in the wooden box, please take a look."

Zhao Jiyou frowned and took the letter, opened it and read it.

"I was wondering...if we didn't come to find my master, will my master be safe and sound?" I smiled bitterly. I have been thinking about this question since I saw this letter last night, and I have been thinking about it until now.

Zhao Jiyou shook his head and said, "Your master also mentioned in his letter that everything in the dark is arranged by your grandfather. I'm afraid the path you are walking now is paved for you."

"Is it really that powerful?" I murmured to myself at the stars in the night sky and asked, "My grandpa is really that powerful. Can he know everything? He can really count the way I want to go. Is it all he paved the way?"

"I don't know how great your grandfather is, but from the moment, I think you have been following the path he has prepared." Zhao Jiyou smiled and folded the letter and handed it to me.

After a slight pause, Zhao Jiyou continued, "But then again, what I am more curious about is what your grandfather gave you four golden bead relics?"

"I don't know what this is for? If you hadn't told me so much, I would probably not have understood what the relics are now." I said speechlessly.

Zhao Jiyou said in confusion: "Golden pearl relics are rare things, and I'm afraid there are not many in the world now. Otherwise, Buddhist monks would not regard a non-gold relic as a treasure. If that's the case, I think your grandfather will leave this golden pearl relics to you, which must be of no use."

I lowered my head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out where I heard my grandfather talk about the golden bead relics.

We kept talking outside until twelve o'clock, and we would not go to the room to rest after twelve o'clock.

The next day, the master's first seven was over. We stayed here for a long time, and it was time to go back to Southwest City to continue investigating the case.

I felt a little disappointed when I closed the iron door heavily.

I don’t know when I will come back this time, maybe... I will never come back in my life.

Before leaving, I handed over the keys of my master's house to Jiang Xue and told her to come and clean when she was fine. Jiang Xue took the keys and nodded at me.

After chatting casually for a few words, Zhao Jiyou and I said goodbye to Jiang Xue and took a bus to Southwest City.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Southwest City. Jiang Bing and Ziyi were following up the case these days. Youzi and I were concerned about the case, so when we got off the car, we went directly to the police station of Southwest City.

When we arrived at the police station, we did not see Ziyi and Jiang Bing in the conference room. We stopped a criminal policeman and asked, and then we found out that Jiang Bing and Ziyi were in the interrogation room and interrogating the prisoner.

Zhao Jiyou and I looked at each other. The case we were responsible for was Qiu Ruide's case. The general case was not under our jurisdiction. The police officer just said that Jiang Bing and Ziyi were interrogating the prisoner, and the prisoner was probably related to this case.

We rushed to the interrogation room and saw Zi Yi and Jiang Bing sitting in the face with a serious face, and opposite her was a young man in his grade about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The young man sat in the interrogation room with a calm expression, while Jiang Bing and Zi Yi were covered in sorrow.

Seeing that they didn't say anything for a while, I took out my cell phone and sent a text message to Jiang Bing, asking her to come out.

Jiang Bing glanced at the phone, then subconsciously looked up outside the window. The double-sided mirror could not see outside from the inside. After Jiang Bing took a look, he pulled Zi Yi out of the interrogation room.

"What's going on inside? Who is that man?" I frowned and looked at Jiang Bing.

Jiang Bing replied with his lips pursed and said, "Shut him in first. There are a lot of things you haven't been around these days. I'll tell you slowly when you go back to the conference room."

Back in the conference room, I poured myself a glass of water and sat on the stool and looked at Jiang Bing, waiting for her to continue.

"That day, Ziyi and I returned to the police station to meet Qiu Ruide. Qiu Ruide kept saying that we wanted to see Qiu Sishui, and threatened him with death. We asked him why he wanted to see Qiu Sishui but she refused to tell us. We tried to threaten him and said that if we didn't tell us the reason, we wouldn't let him see Qiu Sishui. I later told him that he could go out at any time now. If he wanted to see Qiu Sishui, he could go out and look for it." Jiang Bing rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "But Qiu Ruide didn't come out, so he stayed in the police station. And if he wanted to see Qiu Sishui, he had to meet him in the police station."

"In the end, we were forced to call Qiu Sishui and Qiu Ruide to meet." Zi Yi spread her hands and said.

I asked, "Do you know what they talk about?"

"I know." Jiang Bing replied: "We heard the content of their conversation. Qiu Ruide told Qiu Sishui that he wanted to go out, but Qiu Sishui said that he was unwilling to let Qiu Ruide go out. When he spoke, he shouted loudly, "If Qiu Ruide goes out, he will be killed."

"Qiu Ruide and Qiu Sishui should know that the content of their conversation will be heard by you. Since you know what you say, why do you say these words?" Zhao Jiyou said in a daze.

In fact, what Zhao Jiyou said is right. Zhao Jiyou can even think of this. How could Qiu Sishui and Qiu Ruide not have thought of it?

The only explanation is... Qiu Sishui and Qiu Ruide intended to let us hear what they were talking about, so they said so.

"That's all their conversation?" I asked with a frown.

Jiang Bing replied calmly: "Qiu Sishui left the police station after saying that, and Qiu Ruide was not shouting to see Qiu Sishui, and he has been acting very quiet since then."

"Qiu Sishui and Wang Qinming's Taoist teachings are unfathomable. People like them should have long been separated from the secular world. Why did they make such strange actions again and again?" Zhao Jiyou obviously didn't understand.

I lowered my head and thought about another question.

If Qiu Ruide and Qiu Sishui deliberately leaked the conversation to us, what is their purpose?

On the surface, Qiu Ruide wanted to go out of the police station, but the person who always told him not to go out was Qiu Sishui. In this case, this case still has nothing to do with Qiu Sishui. Even if she is not the murderer, she still plays an indispensable character in this case.

"By the way, what's going on with the person you interrogated just now?"

When Jiang Bing heard Zhao Jiyou's question, he couldn't speak. He looked at Zi Yi helplessly, his face full of headaches.

"What's wrong? Does that person have anything to do with this case?" I asked in confusion.

Jiang Bing pondered for a moment and said, "That person is Sun Zigui, who is nineteen years old this year. The only thing that ordinary employed young man, whose identity background is that he was once an orphan in Wolong Orphanage."

"He is an orphan from Wolong Orphanage?" I was slightly surprised and said, "Then what is the reason why he was brought back?"

Jiang Bing and Zi Yi looked at each other, and finally spread their hands and answered.

"It was not what we brought him, it was him."
