Creation’s Grace
Chapter 8:
On the day of Chi Li's burial, the lead cloud that had been brewing for a long time finally fell into continuous overcast rain.
Chi Li's relatives and friends gave her the last ride in the rain.
Chi Yu was dressed in black, with a high ponytail, no makeup, and held the urn firmly on his chest with both hands, walking not too slowly.
Ran Jin held an umbrella and held it above Chi Yu's head.
Even if the wind and rain continued, Chi Yu's shoulder and Chi Li's urn were not wet in the slightest.
The autumn rain is getting denser and denser, and the sky and the earth are the same color.
The rain beat on the tight umbrella, the muffled sound covered the ears, the raindrops on the net fascinated the eyes, and everything in the world was crushed to gray.
I put my sister's urn in the cemetery, and watched as the cemetery staff sealed the top cover. The cries of relatives and friends who took off from the half-hill **** to the top of the mountain were mixed with the sound of rain.
Everyone knows that this is the last ride.
From now on, there will be no delay in the world.
Ran Jin is a little shorter than Chi Yu. In order to prevent her head from hitting the edge of the umbrella, Ran Jin kept her upper arms raised throughout the entire process. She looked straight ahead, as if she wanted to see every frame of Fei Fei Yanyu. Clearly.
It wasn't until the cries of farewell lingering in the cemetery that Ran Jin withdrew his boundless gaze, looked at Chi Yu beside him, reached into his pocket, and wanted to hand Chi Yu the bag of tissues that didn't come in handy yesterday.
Unexpectedly, Chi Yu did not cry.
The crystal raindrops were swept up by the sudden wind, penetrated the **** of Ran Jin, and stuck on the long eyebrows and eyelashes of Chi Yu, dyeing her already rich facial features even more vividly, and the cold eyes. Want to drip.
Chi Yu left under Ran Jin's umbrella, screened off the others, and stood by Chi Li's tomb alone.
"I will use the rest of my life to find out the truth. No matter who committed the murder, I will make him pay the price he deserves."
The rain quickly trickled down her face, converged on her chin, and dripped off the thread.
Chi Yu choked slightly, hot tears mixed with cold rain. She bit her lip tightly, and after the tense lips and the surging grief were temporarily suppressed, the anger she felt when she mentioned the murderer turned into a heartbreaking reluctance.
For the first time in her life, she realized what is goodbye and what is lost forever.
"Sister, when I grow up, I can take care of myself. Don't worry. In the next life... we will still be sisters."
Chi Yu kissed her sister's tombstone in the growing rain.
After returning from the cemetery, Chi Yu took a hot bath and showed signs of fever after coming out.
She drank hot water and took medicine groggyly, leaned on the sofa and sent WeChat with her mobile phone.
She remembered that Ran Ban didn't leave, and went back to Chi's house with her.
The water for taking the medicine was poured by Ran Ban, and she also took the medicine.
When handing over the dry and soft nightgown, Chi Yu could smell the rain on her body.
"You change your clothes." Chi Yu held a warm water cup in both hands, looked up at Ran Ban, and said in a hoarse voice, "Otherwise you will get sick too."
After Ran Jin said "um", he didn't change his clothes immediately. Instead, he said something to Aunt Su. He turned around and said to Chi Yu, "There are still some things in the company. I'll go. You have a good rest and adjust your jet lag. .The rest should be fine."
"It's hard work, Sister Ran."
Sister Ran smiled lightly and left Chi's house.
After taking the antipyretic medicine, Chi Yu fell asleep for a while, woke up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, packed up and prepared to go out.
When walking from the bedroom on the third floor to the living room, Aunt Su who was standing in the living room looked up and said to her:
"Second miss is awake? Are you going out? Dinner is ready, have something to eat?"
Chi Yu glanced at the dining table, and it was full of dishes that she liked to eat.
Although she had no appetite, she didn't want to disappoint Aunt Su's efforts and waste a table of sumptuous dishes, so she sat down and tried her best to eat a few bites.
"Second miss, come take your temperature. If the fever doesn't go away, it's not easy to run outside. It's still raining outside, and it's so cold that people's bones hurt." Aunt Su took a thermometer and came over to take a test for her. It was a little over 37 degrees. It's true that it's back a bit, but it's not completely good.
Chi Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "Did Sister Ran tell you?"
In her impression, Aunt Su worked as a servant in their house for five years. Although she was very diligent, she was not so meticulous.
This thoughtfulness is very familiar, it is Ran Jin's style.
Auntie Su said quickly: "Yes, Miss Ran explained it specially when she left, and said that you should try not to go out if you can, and recuperate at home. She will come to see you at night after she is busy with the company."
If this concern is placed on others, there will be a little bit of diligence, but when it is placed on Ran Jin, it is just the right amount of thoughtfulness.
Because she has always done this, whether it is to her sister, or to all the people close to her.
After taking a few bites, Chi Yu went out, she had to go out.
She wants to find her friends in person and see the evidence.
The international school that Chi Yu attended in middle school produced a lot of talents, and now most of them have embarked on the path of orthodox elites, of course, there are also some less orthodox ones.
The friend who has been helping her investigate the truth about her sister's death these days is her best friend, Qi Tong.
When she was in middle school, Qi Tong was the school's know-it-all. She had everything from the kid in the lower grades to the school manager's melon. Every time I ask her about something late, it's easy to eat a mouthful of irrelevant melons, so every time I chat with Qi Tong, she goes straight to the topic.
Qi Tong helped her develop the good habit of not talking nonsense in Chi Yu.
In the days when Chi Yu was forgetting to eat and sleep in order to get an offer from the top university for the Moon Orbit major, Qi Tong saw that her friends lived so fulfilling every day, which made her feel anxious and didn't know what she could do in the future.
"You think about what you are good at, and I am naturally useful."
Unexpectedly, because of the late encounter, Qi Tong took a good look at her abilities and found that she was very good at eating melons. If she could make money by eating melons, her parents would not chase after her. Later, she scolded her for being a waste of dim sum and a disrespectful woman.
When Chi Yu went abroad to study, Qi Tong opened her own private affairs studio while going to university, specializing in helping people solve "spy on privacy" and "collecting evidence", and ensured that the whole process was legal.
In fact, it is to eat melons to the end, and let the melon farmers pay.
Qi Tong's studio has been doing well in her four years of college. She no longer wants to continue the postgraduate entrance examination, and plans to devote all her energy to entrepreneurship after graduation.
Unexpectedly, this increasingly mature studio can still provide services to good sisters.
At six o'clock, I met Qi Tong's studio late, and Qi Tong deliberately let the employees off work in advance. After all, the most confidential truth about the death of the former chairman of the Chi Group, the less people know, the better.
Seeing that Chi Yu took off her sunglasses when she entered the door, her face was a little red and her spirit was not good, so she asked her, "Is this what it is?"
"It's okay, just get down to business." Chi Yu sat on the sofa opposite her.
Originally, Qi Tong was going to attend Chi Li's funeral today, but when she was about to go out, she got the news that the monitoring she had been thinking about day and night had already arrived.
Qi Tong immediately told Chi Yu, did not go to the funeral, kept the video, and took the time to repair it, which was definitely very valuable evidence.
"The surveillance is in hand, and it's exactly what I thought, but I still want you to identify it. Should I send it to you or come over to see it?"
"I'll come over."
"Okay, I'll clear people here and wait for you."
I thought Chi Yu would come over immediately, but I didn't expect Chi Yu to say that she was too sleepy and would come back after a while.
Qi Tong didn't come immediately because he knew that he was ill lately.
In fact, Chi Yu knew in her heart that in the face of the truth that was about to be revealed, she had to let her brain, which has been running at high speed for many days, rest for a while and become more awake before deciding to go to sleep.
Surveillance is the most direct evidence, and the meaning of Qi Tong's words is that it is obvious that the person who was photographed is someone he knew lately.
Ran Ban, it is very likely that it is her.
Chi Yu already has a tendency in his heart.
But from home yesterday to today's funeral, Ran Jin was the same as before her sister's death, and she was meticulous about her.
When Chi Yu just got the evidence that Ran Ban was the murderer of her sister, which she finally dug out three feet into the ground, she did stand on the opposite side of Ran Ban.
When I saw Ran Jin at the airport last night, she was already regarded as a suspect.
But in the two days of getting along, some contradictory details penetrated into Chi Yu's heart little by little.
She didn't understand, if Ran Jin was really the murderer, why she could appear so calmly at Chi's house, guard her sister's spirit, and considerately appease the younger sister of the person she killed.
Perhaps, there is still room for improvement in the fact that Ran Ban is the murderer.
Chi Yu did not deny that, deep in his heart, he still hoped that Ran Ban was not the murderer.
Another reason why Chi Yu expects the previous hypothesis to be overturned is the emotional factor.
If Ran Jin is really the murderer, then whether it is the elder sister who has nurtured her by her side for many years, or the late encounter who takes her as a big sister-in-law in her care, she is a fool who has been deceived for many years.
Qi Tong brought the tablet and found that Chi Yu didn't pick it up, so she put it on the table and asked her, "Is it now?"
Chi Yu put one hand on his chin, and felt the fever rise again. He slowly blinked his hot eyes and said, "Look now, let it go."
Qi Tong clicked on the video: "Like the destroyed autopsy report, these were repaired by me with great difficulty. They are not the original video, and the pixels are very ordinary, but the basic human form can still be seen clearly."
Chi Yu has seen the destroyed autopsy report, although it is very vague, like it is enlarged from a very small picture, some words can still be read according to the context, and the outline can be clearly seen in the pictures. Knife.
Now the video Qi Tong shows her is the surveillance video of the golf course, which has been destroyed.
The video began to play, Chi Yu showed no expression, but his heart was out of control and began to beat faster.
"This camera is installed at the back door of your sister's lounge. The front door corridor is also monitored and there are more than one location. The murderer must have known it. In order not to be photographed, he chose to go through the back door. There is a pair of sub-cameras at the back door. After destroying one of them, the more concealed sub-camera will be activated, which is hard to prevent. Probably because it was specially installed in your sister's lounge. "
The picture of the video is very grainy and blurred like a candid shot of a mobile phone in the early years.
A woman wearing a white baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask covering her mouth and nose appeared in the picture.
She was wrapped tightly, and even her coat was a size larger, so it could be seen that she wanted to hide her body shape.
"She came over and swiped it with the sensor in her hand. Well, just this action, and then she should have found the position of the camera and broke the main camera. Then the sub-cam was activated. Because it entered your sister's lounge. To get permission, you need to use a face scan, and right here, she took off her mask and her face was photographed."
Qi Tong paused the video at the moment the person showed his face.
"The time this woman appeared at the back door was exactly half an hour after your sister entered the lounge, and 20 minutes before your sister's secretary came. It's a pity that you don't need to take off your sunglasses for facial scanning, and you can successfully unlock it if you take off the mask, otherwise she Maybe I'll show my full face." Qi Tong looked at the blurred half face under the brim of the hat and the sunglasses, and asked Chi Yu, "Can you tell who it is?"
As soon as the question was asked, Qi Tong got the answer from Chi Yu's motionless expression.
Obviously, Qi Tong, who has seen Ran Jin many times, can roughly see that this is Ran Jin, not to mention the relatively late encounter.
"It's her. Ran Ban."
Chi Yu's unblinking eyes stared at the screen, staring at the masked face, gradually turning red. His throat was like being pinched, so tight that he almost vomited blood.
"It's her, can't be wrong."
"Xiaoyu, you, have some coffee and calm down."
"No." Chi Yu sneered, when the huge anger was surging in her chest, she was able to keep calm, and even her tone didn't change.
While calm, thinking that he was still excusing Ran Jin just now, Chi Yu only felt that he was outrageously stupid.
What kind of mentality does Ran Jin use to stay at Chi's house and continue to play the role of a gentle elder?
Just to confuse everyone and evade investigation?
Seeing others being blinded by her superb acting skills, how proud she should be in her heart.
Qi Tong saw Chi Yu's eyes straightening, and her tone was indeed calm, but the corner of her mouth had been bitten by herself, and she couldn't help holding Chi Yu's hand.
Qi Tong held such a grip, and Chi Yu was a little refreshed, and only then did he feel the **** taste in his mouth.
"Continue." Chi Yu clicked on the video and let the video continue to play.
At this time, her mood was completely different.
All the swaying conjectures were not as shocking as what I saw with my own eyes.
In the face of solid evidence, it is impossible for her to be stupid again.
No wonder Ran Ban is so obsessed with controlling the Chi Group.
Perhaps the big cake of the Chi Group was one of Ran Jin's goals for the killer.
So, why did she come to Chi's house in the first place?
My sister is dead. After so many years of silent cultivation, she can finally harvest a good harvest, right?
Chi Yu lowered his eyes and gradually laughed.
Qi Tong looked at her, hair on her back.
Think beautifully.
Everything from my sister is naturally inherited by me.
Chi Yu's eyes gradually sharpened.
The Chi Group, and everything you have now, Ranjing, should belong to me.
