Chapter 189: Falling Runes

According to Yu He's letter, the real Zhishu Lv Vivian ran away many times and was recovered. In her last escape, she met Muying Zhou.

The exact details of the situation are unknown, but it is easy to guess that Muying Zhou, as a mother and a police officer, would have easily noticed young mothers who were obviously in trouble.

Let's assume that Vivian was pregnant and was walking in a bad way, and Muying Zhou noticed her and asked her about her condition.

Vivian was probably not feeling well at that time, and the money she had on her was almost used up. Muying Zhou might have taken her to a meal, or he might have opened a hotel for her to rest first, in any case, after some time of contact, Vivian judged that the female officer in front of her did not have any malice towards her. At this vulnerable moment, Vivian told Muying Zhou what had happened to her.

"She said these things without much hope that Officer Zhou would help her, and perhaps she just wanted a little emotional release." Yu He's letter reads, "After all, she had no evidence to support her suspicions about Rong Wei. No one around her believed her suspicions, and that's why she fled Huzhou."

"But from the series of events that followed, we can see that Muying Zhou chose to believe in my mother."

No one knows how the two young women communicated, and how they built trust.

But Muying Zhou is a very gentle police officer, and it makes sense that a foreign courtesan like Miaoqing Li would be touched by her sincerity and kindness, and that Vivian would drop her guard.

Now that both mothers are no longer alive, no one can restore the full picture of the conversation, but there is a glimpse of the living in one of Vivian's relics.

That relic was found by Jiwei He during his investigation -

A postcard that Vivian later sent to Muying Zhou.

It was sent to Muying Zhou just before Vivian went into labor, but she didn't know at the time that Muying Zhou had just died and the postcard was placed in the file box by the police station's mail room due to the death of the recipient.

In fact, this kind of purely humane postcard should be disposed of, but Muying Zhou usually treats people too well, and the office aunt couldn't help but feel bad when she saw this letter that would never reach the recipient again. This gave Jiwei He the opportunity to see his wife's letter to Officer Zhou twenty years later.

The content of the postcard was simple: Vivian invited Qingcheng Xie's parents to bring their son and daughter to her home after the birth of her child.

She wrote on the postcard, "Thank you for helping me, I am looking forward to seeing Sister Zhou, Brother-in-law, and Qingcheng and Xue Xiao.

In her letter, she refers to Muying Zhou as Sister Zhou.

She even wrote the name Qingcheng Xie, Yu He's own mother wrote the characters Qingcheng in one stroke when she was still alive, which is a very subtle feeling.

Yu He continued: "After seeing this postcard from 20 years ago, my father recalled a story about Ping Xie Muying Zhou. Yes, he had seen them too, and he was sure that Officer Zhou Xie had met Rong Wei once at a club in Yanzhou after he met Vivian."

"The meeting was not easy, as Rong Wei was proud of being the daughter of a large family and did not think Ping Xie Muying Zhou was in her class, until they told her that the girl she was helping Shi He's lab to find was with them, and she agreed to find a place to meet the two officers."

"On the day of the meeting, Muying Zhou asked Rong Wei some tough questions and recorded them. Those questions exposed Rong Wei and made it difficult for her to explain, so she became angry and argued with Muying Zhou. She was probably trying to take my mother straight away, and in the process she pulled and dropped an earring ......"

Obviously, Muying Zhou has determined that Rong Wei is no good, and that the frame-up is not Vivian's paranoia, but a genuine act.

So after this meeting, Muying Zhou personally accompanied Vivian back to Huzhou and told Jiwei He what had happened. That's why Jiwei He knows the truth ......

"But my father has never told me about this past before."

He even told me once that my mother always thought she had failed to protect me from the biochemical infection," Yu He wrote. In his previous accounts, he never mentioned Rong Wei as a person. Perhaps he had suspicions, but he was afraid to face them, preferring to deceive himself at that time."

After all, Jiwei He once suspected Rong Wei and almost found out the truth. At that time, he was shocked and angry to learn that Rong Wei had probably framed his wife. Muying Zhou and Ping Xie said they would look into the matter and once they had evidence, they would tell Jiwei He to get justice for them. Jiwei He thanked them and promised that he would take good care of his wife day and night.

"Shortly after this incident, Ping Xie Muying Zhou but suddenly reported false accusations, both demoted, and then came out of that truck self-start bursting into flames accident. Two people died." Yu He wrote, "My father's first thought was whether the murderer could be Rong Wei, and he worried that my mother was too grief-stricken to tell his wife, who was already nearing her due date, about the incident, but decided, after much deliberation, to go to the bureau to report it."

"However, the night before he was going to report the incident, something happened that completely dissuaded him from reporting the incident, even thinking that he was wrong and that it was just a coincidence. That event was - Rong Wei actually died in an accident. It was also a car accident."

"People are already dead, my father will no longer have any reason to be wary and suspicious of a dead person. After that, Vivian went into labor in Shanghai and gave birth to me." Yu He writes, "These events happened in such a concentrated manner that my father had little time to breathe and no time to think deeply.

The latter part is the story Yu He told Qingcheng Xie when he was with her, about how his mother's appearance gradually changed after marriage.

The epistle reads, "Over the years, my father's attitude toward her had changed from one of pity and love to one of mere sympathy, not really because her appearance had gone out of shape, but because he gradually felt that his wife had changed completely."

The second son, who was very much in love with his wife, also tried to be consistent with her ...... but day after day, he found it impossible for her to go back to the past. She seemed to have, through and through, become a woman to whom he was a stranger."

"I think the seed of doubt in his heart was planted very early. It's just that he never dared to kowtow to that truth. Because he subconsciously knew that the truth must be more than he could afford."

"It is not easy to ask people to admit that they have done wrong, and it is even harder to ask people to admit that what they are doing is wrong. He just kept running and hiding from that unseen ghost until recently, when a case came up frequently ...... Zhilong Huang killing his wife, illegally developed listening water, cross-border drug research, inventions that far surpassed current scientific technology ...... these things These things drove him to a dead end, and the suspicion deep inside him kept fitting. He could no longer pretend that nothing was wrong, and he finally made up his mind to find out the truth about that year. As Rong Wei's direct supervisor, Vivian's husband, and even the man who had contact with the two officers before Muying Zhou Ping Xie's death, he had more detailed clues than anyone else. He put all the pieces of the puzzle together and finally saw the whole picture of what happened back then -"

The letterhead turns another page.

"It turns out that Rong Wei was targeted by the people of Australia, a cross-border illegal research organization, for her excellent grades and her family's good fortune when she was a student at the school. Rong Wei saw the many benefits that the organization could offer her, and her main philosophy coincided with theirs, so she was quickly absorbed into the organization and became part of it."

"And the top brass of this organization are often people with whom they have made a great exchange of interests, such as Zhilong Huang, with whom the organization helped to pin down the evidence of his wife's murder and abuse, which is both a proof of competence and a deep bondage of complicity. Rong Wei is no different. Those dirty deeds she accomplished with the organization in deep bondage were murder, police killing, plastic surgery ...... In a nutshell, it was the organization that used its own high-tech means to accomplish a flawless 'civet swap' for her."

This is a plan that has been pushed through time and laid out with precision.

Rong Wei learns that Muying Zhou Ping Xie is investigating her for deliberately framing Vivian, and quickly reports the situation to the organization for help.

In order to get her off the hook and help her fulfill her wish to marry the man she really loves, and to get rid of the "poor girl Vivian" she hates so much, Rong Wei and the group carry out a series of crazy acts.

They first used their connections to impose a demotion deterrent on the Xie couple, and after finding that the couple still hadn't given up on the case for Vivian, they simply used the spontaneous combustion van to kill the Xie couple who had the first-hand evidence.

The group then orchestrated Rong Wei's fake death before Jiwei He reported the crime and provided more evidence.

Rong Wei's identity is noble, but the old man in charge of the Wei family is a very upright old cadre, once he knows that there is such a murderer scum in the family, he will not protect Rong Wei.

Moreover, Rong Wei's successor status was not a bad one, and they were counting on Rong Wei's longevity as the head of the organization's drug testing and manufacturing base in the interior once he changed his status.

So when you compare the two, the identity of " Rong Wei ", no longer has much temptation - according to the plan, Rong Wei "dead".

Her death was designed to be very tragic, the car exploded after the collision, the explosion turned her body almost into dust, the technology at the time was not very advanced, forensics only those simple equipment, where to play Australia's research organization? The identification results naturally said that the dead was Rong Wei himself.

In fact, the real Rong Wei has been in hiding in the organization's private estate in Huzhou, the organization's people are performing a stunning face-altering surgery on her, using all the drugs invented by their internal scientists, equipment ...... can achieve a transformation that normal society can never achieve.

A few days later, Rong Wei recovered.

When she came out of the restoration solution bin wet, she saw an extremely beautiful torso, dark hair hanging down like black silk, covering her naked/naked breasts, and the woman in the mirror opened her delicate almond eyes wide with a stunned and ecstatic look -

She and Jiwei He's wife Vivian have become identical.

This is a horrific surgery comparable to a science fiction movie face transplant.

Rong Wei is waiting inside the manor, like a viper ready to swim out of the cavern.

The opportunity has finally come.

A few days before Vivian's due date, it was the birthday of Dongheng Wei, the third son of the Wei family. The invitation was sent to Jiwei He, who is emerging in the field of medicine.

Jiwei He was already very famous at that time, and his laboratory was going up rapidly, but he was not yet the later Mr. He. All businessmen in Huzhou knew it was either crazy or stupid to refuse the invitation from the Wei family.

So Jiwei He went to the banquet.

Vivian has been using rn-13 to keep the baby alive, she and Jiwei He were both on a trial basis, they did not know that even this life-saving drug was deliberately arranged and recommended by the organization. On the day of the banquet, the researcher who secretly belonged to the organization changed the RN-13 she was injected with to a drug to induce labor, Vivian's water broke and she was rushed to the arranged hospital for delivery by the researcher who was nearby.

The turtledove thing just happened.

In that private hospital delivery room, Vivian gave birth to a baby boy and tearfully asked the doctor to take a call from her husband, while Jiwei He was on his way to the hospital in a mad rush.

"I want him to be called Yu He ...... This is the best child God has ever given us ...... Do you remember? We have long thought of calling him Yu He ......"

"Fine, fine! You stop talking, I'll be right there! I'll be right over!"

Jiwei He had no idea that it would be the last conversation he would have with his real Vivian.

Vivian's eyes were closed in exhaustion as a hand rested on the guardrail of her bed, pushing her toward the special elevator, but Vivian didn't see that the elevator button the man pressed was not the normal maternal monitoring floor.

Instead -

Negative second floor.

Tai, Ping, Inter!

Throughout the process, the researcher used the long-prepared initial generation of listening water to stun the medical care, complete the murder and confuse the public.

Meanwhile, Rong Wei, who had been prepared and adjusted to a state similar to Vivian's after giving birth, was laid down on a mobile hospital bed.

The elevator doors open once more and the trolley enters.

The elevator rises, bringing with it a slight sense of weightlessness. Rong Wei, with those tubes in and her breathing mask on, is pale and unusual, but she knows it is not because of the pain of the birth, but because of her extreme excitement and extreme weakness.

She opened her eyes and looked at the pale cold lights in the elevator.

The man sent by the organization whispered at her bedside, "Miss Wei, after you leave this elevator, the past will be written off, and you must remember that you are Zhishu Lv, you are Jiwei He's wife, Yu He's mother, and you are Vivian."

She nodded, clutching her cold hand tightly.

There was a ding and the elevator doors opened once again.

She was wheeled out, all this because of organized concealment, and no one noticed the abnormality, and she was wheeled into the care unit, where the nurse took over the trolley handrail and, as she does with every woman in labor, professionally confirmed, "Maternal name? What's your name?"

Her lips opened and closed under the breathing mask, her heartbeat beating like an invisible war drum. A twenty-year-long deception had begun.

"Zhishu Lv." She said, "My name is Zhishu Lv."

.

"Jiwei He has left evidence of all these things." When Er Wei saw Qingcheng Xie read this, he said, "We interrogated Zhishu Lv and she confessed something that matched what was said in this epistle."

"........." Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes, obviously just reading a few pages of text, but he seemed to have drained all his strength.

Er Wei: "The full-body quick-fix done by the fake Zhishu Lv gave her Vivian's looks for the time being, but their techniques were not fully developed, and over time, her looks began to deteriorate rapidly, which made her anxious. She wanted Vivian's beauty like crazy and was extremely disgusted with everything Vivian had left behind. Jiwei He said she once had a fit and burned a lot of her old things. He thought she was mentally stimulated at the time, but in fact she really wanted to destroy the traces."

Qingcheng Xie thought of Yu He once talked to him about this, Yu He said at the time - "My mother burned almost all the clothes before she gave birth to me, photos ...... "

Yu He also mentioned to him that his mother loved to wear the vintage Hong Kong-style red dresses that were popular at the time when she was young and really liked red, but she never wore it again after giving birth to herself.

The old man in the lodge that hosted the Wei marriage also mentioned Rong Wei's distaste for the color red.

In fact, what this woman loathes is not red at all, but Vivian the person ...... everything is right.

"It's not hard to understand her mentality," Er Wei says. Er Wei said, "She desperately wants to have everything Vivian has and be Yu He's real mother, but at the same time she despises Yu He as a real mother from an unusual background. It's not enough for her to kill the real Vivian, she also wants to erase all traces of her life. ...... The only thing she can't erase is Yu He, she needs to be Yu He's real mother and possess the child completely, but at the same time, she doesn't want to see the shadow of Vivian in the child, Yu He has been growing up in such a perverse family environment for 20 years. This is the only way to get rid of Yu He.

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes, which he knows better than anyone else.

Er Wei said here, paused: " Jiwei He finally confessed everything to Yu He, should express his extreme guilt and remorse, but it was too late. He had been deceived by the fake Zhishu Lv for so long, and had a real child with her ......, Yu He's brother Li He. He spoiled Li He for so many years in order to take care of his 'wife's' feelings, but hardly ever went near the child that really belonged to Vivian. Even ...... the woman he solemnly married when Yu He was two was not the girl he loved, but Rong Wei, Vivian's murderer."

"Jiwei He loved Vivian more than Yu He and more than anything else in the world. That's why he was so sick and decrepit in just a few months after he learned the truth."

"This pain completely crushed him, he felt a million times sick, fear, grief, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even know if he should go back to disclosing the truth ...... He was almost driven mad, and in his extreme self-loathing to escape it all, he chose to commit suicide by drinking Bacopa monniera."

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes and said, "It's hard for him to determine the truth ...... because Zhishu Lv has been lying to him. She even sleeps and acts, saying things like 'mommy didn't protect you', something Jiwei He once told me. But he said it with some hesitation, so maybe he did suspect in his mind that there was something wrong with it all."

"Yeah." Er Wei sighed, "It's a shame Jiwei He isn't too brave a person, isn't it."

"......"

"He didn't have the courage to face his faults of these twenty years until the last moment. In fact, he almost had to take these secrets to the grave, but perhaps people are doing the sky, such sins can not be covered up after all. Jiwei He was temporarily resuscitated after drinking the Bacopa monniera ...... None of us know what he was thinking, but he finally kept Yu He with him during those days when he was waiting to die and told him everything."

Er Wei said, pausing for a moment, "And Yu He ...... is much braver than his father."

Qingcheng Xie's heart felt like it had been stabbed hard.

He thought of the last night he and Yu He spent in the Strange Rain Lane ...... that time, Yu He behaved so abnormally, that time, Yu He hugged him, hugged so tightly, but said to him, maybe, this is the last time.

He thought Yu He had made a decision to take on the responsibility of the He family from now on.

But did not know that the original ......

At that time, Yu He had already learned all the truth from Jiwei He. At that time, Yu He was driven crazy by the pain and was about to die in a desperate situation by the truth.

But Yu He ......, a boy who suffers from mental isolation himself, has to carry the burden alone and can't say anything.

Yu He's "last time" was not because he chose his family, but because he knew everything, he knew he had to go through fire to get the truth to come out.

He wanted to love him for life, but he had no other choice ......

Qingcheng Xie took a deep breath, before his eyes was Yu He's sad and calm face that night, how can not linger. In his heart, he actually already knew what happened afterwards.

He has guessed it all ......

But he still took the stack of letters, slowly, the last words Yu He left in this world, word by word to read down ...... a word by word cone into his heart, word by word to read through.

Not surprisingly, he did.

Yu He did all this to avenge his mother, Muying Zhou and Ping Xie, and to find out all the illegal activities of Zhishu Lv's hands over the years, and to leave her with irrefutable evidence.

Even the delivery at sea was designed by him. The cargo he handed over to Mandela's ship was secretly placed with a specially programmed location recording tracker, which would not be checked too seriously by the other side in case the marine police could arrive at any time, and the tracker would be brought back to Wen Duan's lair by them, and more criminal information could be collected.

"Wen Duan's lair is very difficult to find, the island is shielded by information, we have been trying to find it, but never success. For so long, there was no breakthrough." Er Wei said, "But now ...... its latitude and longitude data, has been transmitted back through the channel Yu He left us."

" Yu He has done what no one has done before."

"......"

Qingcheng Xie still didn't say a word, didn't say Yu He did a good job, and didn't ask Yu He why he didn't want to tell any of them the news in advance.

He understood all those purposes written in the suicide note.

And what was not written in the suicide note, he could understand.

Qingcheng Xie knew Wen Duan that the organization was looking for the "first emperor", and Yu He did not want him to take the risk, he just wanted to dig this organization out of the deep sea mire as soon as possible, completely destroyed, from then on no one will ever wonder what the first emperor really is ...... He was trying to protect him.

That kid who was only twenty years old and knew all the truth was so obsessed with trying to protect him ......

Only the last page of the suicide note was left, and Qingcheng Xie tried to turn down the page, but failed to do so several times.

He thought the pages were stuck together, but Er Wei came over with a sigh and helped him turn to the last page. He looked numbly at his hands and realized that it was his own hands that were shaking so much.

The last page is very little and short, and the account is very simple.

That familiar handwriting reads:

"If this delivery goes well and I can return safely, this suicide note should not be of any use, and when you arrest Rong Wei and when you interrogate me, I will try to tell you all the truth myself. But I know, this thing step by step, the ring is easy to mistake, I may never be exonerated, and may be buried directly in the sea. If that's the case ........."

Qingcheng Xie look down, he can no longer feel any heat in his body, he can not feel the hot blood of the living flowing in his veins.

He read the last paragraph:

"If that is the case, I hope you will not give this epistle to Qingcheng Xie. If I am really dead, I do not need a name, I do not need a reversal, please close my case on the charge that I chose to join Wen Duan. Because if my death is a fait accompli, I don't want the person who treated me the best in the world to feel sad for me. I would rather have him disappointed in me and spit on my immorality than to see him grieve and blame himself."

"That's my only request."

" Yu He August 19, 2022 Late Night Leave a Letter "

The room was terribly quiet, no one said a word.

It was Er Wei who finally broke the silence.

I would love to fulfill his last wish for him, but no one can do it," he said. This case was reported directly to the higher levels, and soon after a lot of information will be open to the whole country, no one can hide the truth of this section. And I think ...... you should know. If the only person in the world who was good to him is also disappointed in him after his death and sees him as a criminal, then in his life, it is as if he really did not exist, and no one will remember and care about him."

"........."

Qingcheng Xie slowly put down the suicide note.

He did not listen to what Er Wei said any longer. None of this seemed to matter ...... anymore.

He just realized with unmistakable clarity that Yu He didn't have to die.

If the police hadn't caught up with him at an inopportune time, Yu He actually wouldn't have died ...... and the police originally didn't catch up so easily ...... it was their own initiative to step out and stand opposite Yu He.

The one who stabbed the knife into Yu He's chest with his own hands, the one who didn't stop Director Lu in time, the one who didn't try his best to give Yu He a chance - was himself.

In this moment, he suddenly remembered his last phone call with Yu He.

At that time he said to Yu He:

Where the hell are you? You're so confused you ......!

Yu He ......

Where the hell are you?

You are so confused ......

Qingcheng Xie closed his eyes tightly--

Yu He said that he was the best person in the world for him.

And this turned out to be the last words that the person who treated him the best, in this world, said to him.

Qingcheng Xie stretched out his hand, slightly trembling, and touched the words as if Yu He's hand had only just left the paper.

Unfortunately, the paper is cold.

Qingcheng Xie So you know--

The gentle talisman paper that struggled to support the worn-out bear puppet living on earth, finally ...... in this fishy sweet and miserable sea breeze, lost its last strength ......

It is very tired, right ...... so many times, so many days and months, it tried so hard to give everything it had, to stop Qingcheng Xie's blood, to dress Qingcheng Xie's wound. The result is that they are soaked wet and scarlet.

Now it no longer has the strength to hold on.

The fire trembled, the oil ran out, and he loved him to the last moment.

When life is over ...... the talisman paper that was tightly attached to the heart of the Muppet Bear, finally also with him, suddenly ......

Gone down the drain.
