Detective Files II

Chapter 324
Unexpectedly, Qian Rui's answer was so straightforward, without any concealment, and it was such an answer. After all, Tian Mi was a young girl, unmarried, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"How will Guo Xin's funeral be handled? Isn't her natal family from the local area?" In order to resolve this embarrassing situation, she had no choice but to change the subject and ask about related matters after Guo Xin's death.

"The body has been cremated." Qian Rui said simply.

This answer made Tian Mi a little surprised. It stands to reason that when encountering such a thing, Qian Rui and Guo Xin are so wealthy. Both Xin and Qian Rui like to keep a low profile and don't like to make publicity. At least they have to wait for Guo Xin's natal family to rush over from a distant place to hold a memorial service or something. What about cremating people?
Seemingly seeing Tian Mi's confusion, Qian Rui was a patient person, and said to her and Lu Xiangdong in an unhurried manner, "It's like this, Guo Xin is the youngest child in the family, and his parents are already very old. Well, after hearing the news of her accident, she was also hit hard, so after discussing with her natal relatives, I felt that it would be better not to let the old man travel a long distance, and it would be better to travel long distances, not to mention, she is It is not suitable for those who die in this kind of thing to pay homage to the remains. The person who has gone has already gone, and no matter how complicated the form is, it is impossible to bring her back. It is meaningless to toss the living people for some meaningless things. No matter whether she takes those forms or not, she will never be forgotten in the eyes of her family."

Although such an approach is somewhat contrary to traditional thinking, it is not unreasonable. As a younger generation, Tian Mi can understand Qian Rui's views.

"I invite you to come here today. If you need to ask or investigate anything, just ask." Seeing that neither Tian Mi nor Lu Xiangdong spoke again, Qian Rui said to them, "I will bring Guo Xin's ashes back to her in a few days. Go to my natal family. Before that, if there is anything that needs my cooperation, I will feel more at ease after I deal with it. This time, we are not the only ones who lost their loved ones. I don’t know if there is anything I can do to help. Yes, I just hope that I won't hold you back because of me."

"Guo Xin's ashes will be taken back to her mother's house for burial?" Tian Mi didn't pay much attention to Qian Rui's scene, but was surprised by what he casually mentioned about the burial place of Guo Xin's ashes. It’s not close! I thought I would choose to bury the ashes in City C. Is this Guo Xin’s wish during his lifetime?”

"Guo Xin's own wish is to scatter his ashes into the sea like a great man." The corner of Qian Rui's mouth twitched almost invisibly towards one side of his cheek.

"It seems that not only do you not agree with her wish, but you also think it's ridiculous?" During the conversation between Tian Mi and Qian Rui just now, Lu Xiangdong had been lazily sitting on the sofa with his arms in his arms. Only then did he speak slowly.

Qian Rui looked at Lu Xiangdong, stared blankly for a moment, then nodded: "That's right. At this time, I shouldn't and I don't want to say something critical to my wife who just passed away, but sometimes her thoughts, It is indeed a bit deviant and out of step with ordinary people's thinking."

"Even if you are her husband, don't you understand?" Lu Xiangdong asked with great interest.

"Yes, I'm her husband, but I'm just an ordinary person." Qian Rui didn't want to say much about it, and just said a few words perfunctorily.

Lu Xiangdong didn't intend to pursue the endless interrogation, so he nodded to him and stopped talking.

Only then did Tian Mi bring the topic back to what she had just said: "Since it wasn't Guo Xin's intention, then is it her natal family's intention to bring her ashes to such a distant hometown for burial?"

Her guess was confirmed by Qian Rui: "Yes, she is the only daughter and the youngest one in the family. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have always cared about her very much, so after choosing a cemetery for myself, I gave it to Guo. Xin, of course, including me, bought a place near their Guo family's ancestral grave."

"Does your family have any thoughts on this matter? Or, do you have any opinions?" Lu Xiangdong asked again. Today, his attention and interest seem to be on some trivial and trivial matters of the parents, "according to In our traditional Chinese thinking, a girl is called getting married, and a daughter-in-law is called entering the door. After Guo Xin marries you, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Qian family. Her parents will choose a cemetery for you near the ancestral grave of your mother’s family. Don't you mind?"

"My parents don't have much culture. Although they are not avant-garde people, they don't have old brains. They don't even care about their own cemetery, which will interfere with our affairs." Qian Rui shook his head, "Guo Xin's parents are old It's too old, since they care about it and insist on it, then we should be filial as daughters and sons-in-law."

"It seems that your parents-in-law are relatively powerful old people." Lu Xiangdong sighed with a half-smile, and glanced at Tian Mi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Perhaps, old man, there is no one who is not stubborn, it's better to be a junior and easy-going." Qian Rui did not deny Lu Xiangdong's words, "What's more, my hometown and Guo Xin's natal family are in the same place, so no matter what Either way, I don't care."

When Qian Rui and Lu Xiangdong were talking, the black and white pet dog in Qian Rui's house, after observing for a long time, seemed to feel that the two strangers were harmless, and gradually relaxed, and stopped barking. Leaning over, Tian Mi reached out to the puppy and patted the puppy's head while listening to the conversation between Lu Xiangdong and Qian Rui.

As if feeling Tian Mi's friendliness, the puppy relaxed even more, its tail stood up high like a brush, and it swayed back and forth. As soon as the two front paws were raised, they touched Tian Mi's knees, acting like a baby The same asks for more caresses.

Tian Mi was originally a person who was passionate about small animals, so she touched them a few more times.

"Yuan Bao, come here!" Seeing this, Qian Rui clapped his hands at the puppy and barked, then glanced at Tian Mi's pants apologetically, "Sorry, summer is here, this dog sheds a lot!"

Tian Mi lowered her head and looked, it wasn't true, the lap that the puppy named Yuan Bao had just laid on had already been covered with a lot of fine black and white hairs.

"This dog is called Yuan Bao? The name is very interesting." Tian Mi brushed it a few times, but the dog hair on the pants was still stubbornly attached to it, so she had no choice but to give up.

Qian Rui stretched out his hand to pet the puppy who was wagging its tail and acting coquettishly: "Guo Xin and I have no children, this dog is like our son."

"We learned that Guo Xin took out high-value accident insurance before his death, and the beneficiary was you. Did you know about this?" Tian Mi asked.

"I know, the manager of the insurance company called me a few days ago." Qian Rui nodded.

"Before that, did you know that Guo Xin bought such an insurance?"

"I don't know. I'm ashamed to say that our family is a typical male outsider and female insider. Generally speaking, I am in charge of outside business affairs, and Guo Xin has full control over family affairs. If it wasn't for her this time , I’m afraid I don’t even know that my family has taken out so many kinds of insurance.” Qian Rui said that he didn’t know it at all.

"Then now that you know about the insurance, as the beneficiary, you may have to spend a lot of time negotiating with the insurance company?" Tian Mi asked tentatively.

Qian Rui curled his lips, as if he had no interest in this question: "To be honest, I didn't intend to waste time and energy fighting a tug-of-war with the insurance company. You should also know something about the insurance company. It’s always about trying to get you to pay for insurance, and then trying to minimize the damage when something actually happens.”

"However, as far as I know, Guo Xin's accident insurance may cover up to 100 million yuan in compensation, which is not a small sum."

"It may seem a bit arrogant to say this. I know that there are people outside people, and mountains outside mountains. Maybe compared with some big businessmen, I am just a small shrimp, but I don't think so much about the 80 million. "Qian Rui waved his hand indifferently, "Firstly, the money was paid by Guo Xin in exchange for his life. After all, I am a businessman, so I still need to have face in the circle. If other people find out, I will entangle with the insurance company for the money my wife bought with my life, just to get an extra 30 million, then I will His career will inevitably be affected, and the gains outweigh the losses.”

What Qian Rui said was a little impersonal, but it was very frank and realistic, and no one could find any faults.However, when Tian Mi looked at her husband after Guo Xin died so rationally and calmly from a female perspective, she felt a little awkward in her heart, but she also remembered Lu Xiangdong's reminder to herself before, don't let it happen because of her personal emotions. Preconceived to infer the good and evil of others.

"Can you tell me about your general schedule on the day of the bombing?" Given that Qian Rui's attitude has always been very cooperative, Tian Mi's questions gradually became straightforward.

Qian Rui frowned and recalled, and said: "I was supervising the decoration of the new store that was about to open that day."

"Over there all day?"

"Yes, the new store was originally planned to be opened in a hurry, so the renovation progress is very fast, but it has been put on hold now. After all, such a big incident happened at home, and I have limited managers alone."

"Do you know a man named Meng Qingwei?" Tian Mi asked.

Qian Rui shook his head slowly: "I don't know, is it someone related to this bombing?"
