Du Ruoyu quickly took a cold shower, changed into a black silk shirt and black satin wide legged trousers, and then left the bedroom. Qin Yong was not there. But he cooked the meal, kept it warm in the pot, and left a note to stick on the refrigerator.
Du Ruoyu hurriedly ate a bowl of rice and took a taxi to Huo''s house.
The Huo family residence is hidden in the mountain forest, and the summer night is quiet and gorgeous.
A lot of people should come during the day. The reception hall is full of water cups and cakes that haven''t been cleaned up yet.
Mrs. Huo''s funeral hall was not set up in the funeral home, but brought back to the Huo family.
According to the custom, they will park in Huo''s house for seven days for condolence, and a funeral will be held seven days later.
What makes Du Ruoyu feel most ridiculous is that almost all of the Huo family members who live in Huo''s residence have moved out temporarily, and no one has stayed at home to help Huo play Qiu Shou Ling.
Because Huo Tian''s estate was distributed, the Huo family didn''t get anything. Naturally, no one was willing to stay to help Mrs. Huo with the funeral. Apart from the loyal housekeeper and the servants who worked in the Huo family all his life, there was only one boy who seemed to be under age kneeling in front of the funeral hall and kept silent.
The boy was wearing a valuable custom-made black suit with black cloth on his arm.
He is very handsome, and he has great momentum at a young age. He kneels like a statue with noble spirit. His thin but straight back is full of rebellious and unyielding, but his face is sickly pale, like the body deficiency caused by years of illness and infirmity.
Du Ruoyu knows the child.
He is the elder son of Uncle Huo''s sister, and also the younger brother of Huo Yiqiu, Huo Jingchen.
Because it is a burden, so this child, with the surname of Huo family.
Uncle Huo''s youngest sister died together with her husband in the plane crash four years ago. The child was also on the plane at that time, but miraculously, he unexpectedly survived. Although he had a whole body fracture and craniocerebral injury at that time, he lay in the hospital for two years before recovering.
Four years ago, she just married into the Huo family, and only two years ago when Huo Jingchen recovered and discharged from hospital, did she see him in the Huo family mansion.
He is only sixteen years old this year.
He is usually quiet and withdrawn, but he is especially close to Aunt Huo.
When Du Ruoyu was in the Huo family, he often had afternoon tea with him because of his aunt Huo, accompanied him to read books and do homework. The relationship was not very good, but he was very familiar.
Du Ruoyu consciously put on a small white flower and a condolence armband.
Then the footstep entered the spirit hall gently, knelt on the cushion beside Huo Jingchen, worshipped for a while, and then, he kept the spirit together with Huo Jingchen.
Mrs. Huo''s body lies quietly in the crystal coffin under the tomb statue.
Du Ruoyu is not afraid because of his relatives.
She just saw Huo Jingchen facial expression is not good, soft voice concern way: "Huo aunt cares about your body most before she is alive, here elder sister is guarding on the line, you return to the room to rest."
Huo Jingchen slightly a Zheng, return to God, slowly side over the eyes, staring at Du Ruoyu, "you are not Huo family, what do you want to do."
"As long as I didn''t get a divorce, I was still a member of the Huo family. Even if I didn''t want to get involved with Huo Yiqiu, I still couldn''t ignore the fact that Aunt Huo loved me like a natural daughter in the Huo family for four years. I was entrusted by others. So, is there a problem? Brother. "
Huo Jingchen scoffed, "you see, you don''t have the surname Huo, and you can watch your aunt. Those surnamed Huo feel that there are corpses in Huo''s residence. They feel bad luck and move out of here during the day, especially Huo Yiqiu..."
Du Ruoyu interrupted Huo Jingchen at an inopportune moment. "Brother, although I don''t deal with Huo Yiqiu, I have to help him say a word. Last night in the mortuary, he guarded your aunt all night. He lost his mother and father. He was more painful than anyone else. However, he had to guard Huo''s family for uncle Huo, and he had to deal with the murder of Uncle Huo Will be here, if he ignorant two ears ignore the things outside the window to stay here, then, the Huo family will be really chaotic
"Huo Yiqiu used to treat you like that. Do you still speak for him?"
"I''m just stating the facts."
It was almost twelve that night.
Du Ruoyu was listening to the chanting of Sutras in the Lingtang. He was drowsy. Suddenly, the sound of police cars came from outside the Huo residence.
Du Ruoyu is excited and wakes up immediately. She and Huo Jingchen stand up together and walk out the window.
Huo Yiqiu is back.
With him, there is also his hair small Mo Wenxuan.
And they came back with a group of investigators with a lot of detection tools.
Huo Tian was not dead, but was suspected of being killed by his younger brother Huo Lei, but no substantial evidence has yet been found.
That''s why the DIDU police came to Huo''s house to search for evidence.
The leading police officer followed Huo Yiqiu into the spirit hall and worshipped Mrs. Huo. Then, under the guidance of the servant, he took people upstairs and went to the study and bedroom used by Huo Tiansheng.
Huo Yiqiu''s eyes were covered with red blood, and his expression was tired and sick. His voice was almost mute. His lips were pale, and his cheeks were tinged with an abnormal red, as if his fever had not subsided.Huo Yiqiu looked at the empty, only Du Ruoyu and Huo Jingchen''s Lingtang, dark and tired eyes in the condensation of the storm.
"And the others."
Huo Yiqiu concludes that Huo Jingchen, the younger brother, will not manage himself. He asks Du Ruoyu.
"Your brother said that the others moved out during the day. They thought it bad to stop their bodies at home and didn''t want to stay here."
Huo Yiqiu clenched his fist secretly, and his veins burst out on the back of his hand. He was speechless, and his face was overcast.
Mo about half an hour later, the police officer in charge of searching for the evidence hurriedly went downstairs and went to Huo Yiqiu.
"Mr. Huo, we didn''t find the medicine and medicine bottle that Mr. Huo took for a long time in his bedroom and study. The servant and housekeeper said that the bottle was usually in the drawer of his study, which might have been taken away. If there is no substantial evidence, it is difficult to prosecute the murderer. So we may have to look at the monitoring of Huo''s residence And make a copy to take away. "
Not waiting for Huo Yiqiu to speak.
Huo Jingchen suddenly squeaked, "medicine bottle? Wait a minute... "
Huo Jingchen turned to run on the floor, after a few minutes, with a plastic bag sealed things rushed down.
"I found this medicine bottle in the back mountain. Do you see what you are looking for?"
Huo Jingchen opened the plastic bag, took out a clean handkerchief from his suit, took out the medicine bottle contaminated with soil, and handed it to the police.
He confessed: "the day my uncle passed away, in the early morning, I saw a man sneaking into my uncle''s study, and soon left. I followed him all the way to the back mountain. I saw what he had thrown away, and picked it up after he left..."
