I don't know the East is white

Chapter 59 Public Enemy ([-])

Wei Wan knocked feebly on the rusty iron door, hoping someone could open it for him from the inside.

He asked Dongfangchai, Ding Changle left a resignation letter in the office, and left without saying anything.There is no one at home, and the phone is turned off.She cut off all possible means of contact with the outside world.

In other words, Ding Changle disappeared, or completely disappeared.

The last time I spoke to her was on the day of Uncle Dongfang's funeral. She said that she was not feeling well, so she would not go to the funeral.He asked Wei Wan to convey his apologies to Dongfangchai for her.

Everything that was normal couldn't be normal anymore.However, without warning, she chose to leave.

Wei Wan couldn't figure out why she could take back the love she had said in person so easily.Even if she wanted to leave, could she inform him, or did she feel that there was no need to explain to him at all?
Thinking about it this way, Wei Wan suddenly thought of a photo of a person who once hung on the wall of Ding Changle's house.At that time, she said that almost every girl in the courtyard had one, but he just smiled and prevaricated.Will put a picture of a man in a frame with his family, that kind of admiration is beyond words.Perhaps the reason why he accepted his feelings was because Chang An was critically ill at that time, and she was too fragile and needed someone to rely on.

Wei Wan let go of her pride and called Tang Jibai for help. "Has Changle ever contacted you?"

"Changle? We haven't seen each other since that time at the airport. What's wrong?" Tang Jibai on the other end of the phone seemed more confused than he was.

Wei Wan didn't know whether to be happy or sad for such a result? "It's okay. She resigned and moved. I can't contact her now. I'm a little worried. If you have news about her, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay." Tang Jibai became suspicious after hanging up the phone.

Back when they met as teachers and students, neither of them realized that they had bonded since childhood.

She didn't recognize his identity until he killed Li Dalong and went to jail.

When Xiaochai proposed to reverse the case for him, he was still close to Hu Pengfei, and it took two full years to gain his trust. It was an old man surnamed Ma who instigated him to kill the Tang couple. Possessive, is a person not to be trifled with.According to the original plan, he still needs to get closer to Hu Pengfei to find out the motive behind the murderer.

When Ding Changle came to visit the prison, he told him that you owe me.Both you and Dongfangchai owe me.So you are obliged to atone for your sins, if you don't want to do it, I'll find Dongfang to do it.

In desperation, he agreed to Dongfangchai to reverse the case for him.And Ding Changle also told him another truth.

"I have never given up on my father's case in these years. When I was a sophomore, I found the barefoot doctor. He didn't tell me until before he died that the petition letter was actually handed over to another prosecutor. And that person is your adoptive father, Dongfang Huo. So looking at it this way, we actually have a common goal."

In fact, ever since Li Dalong's appearance evoked the past, Tang Jibai had been suspicious for a long time. During that sensitive period, the notebook that Dongfanghuo asked him to take home was tricky, but he just didn't want to accept the reality.But Ding Changle's news shattered his last hope.

"Since this barefoot doctor knows everything, why didn't he go to the police station to make it clear? Why did he watch my parents die with infamy?"

"He said that a man surnamed Ma found him and gave him a hush money. These days, it's better to have one more thing than one thing, let alone a lot of money, so why not do it. Do you think he died in vain? Only your parents? Heh. My younger brother is still paying for your father’s mistakes.

Another man named Ma.

He finally agreed to find out the truth for her and his parents, and return their innocence.So he joined Tianjing Law Firm after he was released from prison.And moved away from Dongfang's house to take care of the Changle siblings.

I thought it was a simple case of framing, but who knew that a group of people would be involved through Ma Tianjing's line.Dongfang Huo and others accepted bribes from Ma Tianjing for a long time, which affected judicial justice within a controllable range.The motive for his parents' car accident is still unknown.

This vortex got deeper and deeper, sucking him in deeply, beyond redemption.

On the night Dongfang got sick and was admitted to the hospital, he once called Ding Changle.He said to her: "Congratulations, your revenge will be avenged immediately."

Dongfang Huo died the next day, and Ding Changle disappeared shortly thereafter.Did she let go of the past because she understood the grievances, or...

When Wei Wan was about to leave Ding Changle's house, she suddenly received a call from Tang Jibai. "Wei Wan, you must find her, she may commit suicide!"

Wei Wan panicked all of a sudden, but he, who was most afraid of pain, used his flesh and blood to hit the iron gate over and over again.The iron door was dented with a shoulder and elbow mark, but it was not knocked open.In the end, the neighbors called the police.

When the police arrived and heard that someone in the room might be about to commit suicide, they immediately broke into the room, but there was no one in the room.The mobile phone wallet and coat are all at home, it just looks like the owner has been away for a while.

"Are you sure your girlfriend wants to commit suicide? Didn't she just tease us?" The policeman looked suspiciously at Wei Wan.

Wei Wan looked around and caught a glimpse of some peeled candy wrappers on the table.

He rushed to pick it up, only to see a sentence written on the small candy wrapper. "Born to be human, I'm sorry."

This is what Osamu Dazai wrote before the protagonist committed suicide in "No Longer Human".

With trembling hands he picked up another one. "Sugar is sweet, but life is too bitter. I never deserve good luck."

The last one read: "ALEX, you'll meet better girls. Ten thousand times better smiley faces than me."

Is this the suicide note you left me?
Wei Wan tremblingly held the candy wrapper and looked at the policeman. "Something must have happened to her..."

"Ah." The woman's scream echoed through the basement with a loud slap.

In the dim light, a woman in only a white vest could be seen snuggling in the corner.His slender waist, hands and feet were tied with ropes and tied to the iron railings welded to the wall.

"What? Haven't figured it out yet?" The man stood in front of the woman, looking down at her.

A drop of water dripped from the basement ceiling onto the man's shoulder.The man brushed the water off his shoulders in disgust, and took a step back. "You didn't hesitate like this when you asked me to help you. Now that you've made up your mind to die, why do you go back on your word?"

"Wei Wan..." The woman murmured a name in a low voice.

"Wei Wan? Is it your boyfriend? Is it because of him that you don't want to die?"

The woman stared blankly at the puddle of water underground, which was bloody water with a faint pink color.She had seen four lives die in this tiny basement.

As long as she let go of a good word, the man will immediately give her a hundred ways to choose how to die.If she didn't say it, maybe she would be locked up in this dark basement for the rest of her life.

To be honest, there are many comfortable ways to die among the methods he gave.So during this period, she was tempted several times and took the path she had originally chosen.

But the candy in her palm always reminds her that there are still people waiting for her.

The man took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, covered his mouth and smiled lightly. "But what's the use of your persistence? All the information you leave is telling others that you are going to commit suicide. Everyone will think that you found a place where no one is there to die quietly. The sky is big, and he can find it for a year. Or two years? He will forget you sooner or later."

"Let's make a bet."
