"It's not that easy. It happened so suddenly this time. Even if you want to pursue the responsibility, you will be responsible for the person in charge of security, and then the police patrolling nearby." Izayo narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a thoughtful look, "Even if you want to make use of the problem, it's not so easy to directly reach out to the seat of the police chief of the father."
"That's right, with my elder brother here, what can my father do?" Wan Lihua was stunned, showing a reassuring smile.
Izayo nodded seriously, "Besides, over the past few years, the fatigue of the Shinomiya family has become more and more obvious. The more tired people are, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Huang Guang's own butt is not clean."
"Uh... Wouldn't it be nice to change the way of describing it a little bit?" Wan Lihua pinched her nose and complained.
"In short, that's what it means." Sixteen nights smiled, "Father can sit in this seat, and the background of the Tachibana family is only a condition. If there is no such years of hard work and achievements, the police chief is someone else's."
It is not impossible to pull down a police chief who has sat firmly in his seat and has not made any mistakes in these years, but it is impossible to go smoothly.
Sixteen nights has been watching all this, and he will not allow Huang Guang to take advantage of this situation to create opportunities.
Instead, he was waiting for Huang Guang to stretch out his hands and feet impatiently, and then break those "hands and feet" little by little.
After sending Wanlihua all the way to the car parked outside the gate, Shizayoi relaxed his expression a little and stroked her arm.
"Anyway, don't be too tense, just do as usual. Anyway, after so many years, no one will be as sad as when they first heard the news of the death." Sixteen nights reminded again, "Talk to everyone, visit the grave, and reminisce about the past. It shouldn't be difficult."
"Everyone...wouldn't be like that." Wan Lihua lowered her brows.
She wanted to say something, but felt that it was not appropriate to say it now.
"Huh?" Izayoi still noticed it.
"It's nothing, will your lord brother go out today?" Wan Lihua asked.
"Not today, but Aunt Sawamura sent an invitation yesterday, saying that she would like to treat me to dinner tomorrow." Sixteen nights said.
"Huh? That Yinglili..."
"Let's take a look." Sixteen nights squeezed his chin, "After all, it's quite a formal invitation, so it's not easy to refuse. I'm going to think of a way today. If it doesn't work, maybe I'll trouble you to push Yinglili away."
"Do you have to hide..." Wan Lihua pursed her lips, disapproving.
"Is that the only way?"
"Then I also have my own thoughts, and I will tell my elder brother clearly at that time." Wan Lihua raised his head and looked at him affectionately, "Then I will go out first, after all, it is not good to be late."
"Ah."
After saying this, Shiliuye was at the door, watching Wan Lihua get in the car and leave.
The so-called telepathy does not mean mind-reading skills. He can detect Wan Lihua's mind, just like Wan Lihua can perceive his mind. It is just a high degree of tacit understanding formed over the years.
For example, at this moment, he actually couldn't clearly perceive what kind of idea Wan Lihua had.
It's just that if it works, it's okay to do what she says.
Izayoi thought about this, suddenly laughed, then turned and returned home.
Chapter 41 'The Living' and the 'Dead'
After recently moving to Tokyo, Tachibana Wanlihua kept seeing friends she used to know, and then started to walk around again, and then returned to the same close relationship as it was seven years ago, and gradually realized that she had missed many important things in these years.
The most important thing is that he has never visited the grave of "Sigong Dianthus".
In fact, as the original insider, according to Wan Lihua's knowledge, Dianthus is not dead.
Because he narrowly escaped from the dead, in order to avoid the spread of the news of his escape, he attracted successive pursuits and brought many uneasy factors to the Tachibana family and even Wan Lihua in Kyushu, so he changed his name and identity background, and became an incarnation. For the future husband-in-law that the Tachibana family trained for her since childhood.
And as we grow older, we will gradually change our appearance through medical methods, erasing any possibility of being recognized.
In addition, he is still him, Wan Lihua, who has been watching all these changes, naturally accepts it without any psychological barriers, and is overjoyed by his new identity.
But this is only Wan Lihua's privilege, other people don't know all this, for them, no matter it is the best friend or the closest family member, they can only see the fact that Dianthus died without bones.
For them, from being immersed in sadness at the beginning to gradually coming out, but visiting the grave regularly every year is the most basic emotional change.
——Of course, there are also people who can't accept the reality at all, and completely avoid all this.
In any case, it is undoubtedly cold-blooded for Wan Lihua to return to Kyushu the next day after an accident like that, and has no contact with her since then.
To put it bluntly, he is probably regarded as a profit-seeking person who is indifferent even after the death of a close relative.
After all, looking back and thinking about it, everyone can see how much Wan Lihua likes "Dianzhu", and she is also the most daring and direct girl among the girls who like him. When playing together, she always sticks to him, making the others uncomfortable Very satisfied.
Gradually picking up these missing memories now, Wan Lihua was also worried that everyone would have an unforgivable attitude, but since seeing the real concubine and the emperor five years ago, and inviting Kaguya and Hayasaka to come not long ago Attend a birthday party.
She found herself not to be blamed.
It's not that everyone is too tolerant, but that Izayoi has taken everything into consideration from the very beginning.
Presumably, since the "accidental" reunion with the four siblings five years ago, he had already prepared just the right information to show in front of the two, and then relayed it to other people bit by bit through their mouths and cognition.
It's not that she is cold-blooded, but that she is involuntary.
At the moment of "Shi Zhu"'s death, Wan Lihua also lost her freedom in Tachibana's house.
That's why when Shinomiya Kaguya told her of the proposal to visit "Shizhu"'s grave together, Wan Lihua was completely relieved.
Whether she was worried about auspiciousness or not was also seriously explained by him who was still alive.
In any case, for the things to be done and the wishes that need to be fulfilled for Izayoi... Wanlihua Tachibana must hide her true emotions and act out the sadness she still has for the dead.
Then, ready to face this situation, when the car was parked on the side of the road outside the cemetery, she withdrew her thoughts and walked out of the door that Honda opened for her.
Smoothing out the abnormal folds on the hem of the black dress, she glanced around. Everyone hadn't arrived yet, and it was less than 10 minutes before the appointed time.
Across the road are shops selling sacrificial supplies, and each shop sells different things.
"I like white flowers very much. When you go, I recommend buying lilies. This season is just in the flowering period of lilies. When you see them, you will believe that you have not forgotten me. These years are just involuntary." 』
Recalling Shizayoi's instructions, Wan Lihua, accompanied by Honda, crossed the zebra crossing on the cold road outside the cemetery, walked to the flower shop, and with the help of the clerk, selected a bouquet of lilies.
Smelling the smell for a while, Wanlihua couldn't help showing off the fresh fragrance, and then felt that it was too relaxing, so she hurriedly tightened her expression.
After paying, I walked out of the flower shop and saw the A8W12 bulletproof model parked there. After a while, Spyker D12 and Rolls-Royce Dawn approached from different directions, and finally stopped gradually on the side of the road.After recognizing these cars as belonging to the Shinomiya Villa, the Shijo House, and the Spencer House, Wan Lihua knew that everyone had arrived.
It's just a black limousine... looks like it's going to be rear-ended...
After thinking of some terrible stalks, Wan Lihua started laughing again.
As for why he knew, he could only blame someone who was now taking care of business while hiding at home as a matter of course.
For her, there was no way to be serious on this occasion, but it was more like she was cooperating with Izayoi, and continued to play a prank on everyone that she could not reveal her identity for the time being.
So as soon as you relax, some strange content will occupy your mind to dissolve the seriousness.
She had to ask Honda to help her pinch her lower back severely, and she regained her emotions because of the pain.
"It's early, Wanlihua." Kaguya was the first to say hello when she saw Wanlihua coming across the road holding a bouquet.
Wan Lihua nodded to her, and responded: "I arrived a few minutes early, and I was a little nervous. When I arrived, I realized that I didn't bring anything, so I bought flowers."
"Actually, it's nothing. I have prepared offerings. As long as everyone comes, Shi Zhu will be very happy." Hui Ye lowered his brows, smiling sadly.
Hayasaka bowed slightly to the two, then crossed the road alone, and went to the shop over there to rent wooden buckets and wooden spoons for sweeping.
Under Kaguya's leadership, everyone walked up the long steps in front of the gate of the cemetery.
"This year... is Wanlihua's first visit." Concubine Zhen whispered.
"En." Wanlihua nodded slightly.
The emperor added a sentence from the side, "If you want to talk about this... there is another person who is doing it for the first time this year."
Walking at the end, Eiriri, who was with Hayasaka, always lowered her eyes, except for the initial greeting, she didn't say a word.
"Ying Lili is different from me..." Wan Lihua smiled wryly, "If I could come, I would like to come every year..."
Concubine Zhen nodded, "Wanlihua's family is really not easy, they don't even give this little freedom."
"It can't be helped, I'm the only child in the family, even if there is an elder brother... I will..." Wan Lihua responded according to the words that Shiliuye taught her in advance.
At this time, Hayasaka suddenly said, "It's a little unexpected...Master Tachibana will agree with Wan Lihua to do this."
"Hey... my elder brother... I've always been reasonable." Wan Lihua explained somewhat vaguely, "So it's okay."
Chapter 42 Wanlihua's Thoughts
Wan Lihua's answer was not unexpected at all, but Hayasaka did not accept it so easily as everyone else.
In her opinion, Shizayoi just acquiesced in this behavior of asking her to visit the grave of someone she liked before in order to maintain her image in front of Wan Lihua.
"How should I put it...it's not surprising what happened to that guy." Concubine Zhen understood very well.
Compared to Kaguya and Hayasaka, and even Eiriri, who has never met Izayoi, she and her younger brother have known Tachibana Izayoi for a little longer, so they have this kind of reaction.
"If you think about it carefully, that guy...has been gone for seven years." The emperor sighed, "I thought we could work with him to find a way to resolve the grievances accumulated over the decades between the main family and the branch family."
He sincerely revealed his feelings, causing Kaguya, who was walking in front, to tremble subconsciously, but he didn't look back.
Everyone knows that Emperor Sitiao must be able to inherit the important status of the Sitiao family in the future, even though Huang Guang, who is the highest in the line of succession, and the other two are too far apart in age and have no friendship with him.
But at the age of ten, he has shown an extremely outstanding talent. Among the peers of the big family, Sigong Shizhu is also the most radiant. No one doubts that he has the ability to win the qualification of the successor of the Sigong family and become the next head of the family.
Even though he can only be regarded as the youngest son of a concubine from his birth.
The times have changed, and the so-called establishment of a family has long been less effective. In the rapidly developing modern society, those who are more capable of maintaining family survival and prosperity have more opportunities.
From this point of view, Shi Zhu has indeed shown an excellent affinity for uniting heirs of the same age from various families early on.
However, such a high-spirited young man completely fixed the time at the age of ten.Unlike other people's grief, what Sijodi felt was more like a heartache that the best possibility had disappeared.
In these years, he has avoided going deep into family affairs, but being a son of the Sijo family who only wants to do his own business and has no ambitions, is also the frustration he felt after his lofty ideals were shattered.
"...I remember someone said that with the two of you...maybe in the future..." Concubine Zhen was also a little awkward.
Apart from personal emotional factors, why doesn't she want to let go of the heavy entanglement of several generations and face Kaguya and Shizhu with the most relaxed attitude.
however……
For no reason, Concubine Zhen remembered what Shiliuye said a month ago.
She hasn't talked to Di until now, because she doesn't know how to speak, so that Di realizes that there are so many doubts about the facts that everyone has been silently accepting these years.
Or, do you all have the same idea?It's just that the result can't be changed, so treat it as an accidental tragedy, and then silently digest the result?
"..." Wanlihua was silent.
Listening to these words like this, just like what she heard from Izayoi, she understands the weight of them, and there is nothing she can do about it.
The living pretend to be dead so that the rest can live well.
someday...
Soon, the group arrived in front of the tombstone of Shigong Shizhu.
Because no body could be found, there was no ashes, so they couldn't be buried in the Shinomiya's cemetery, so they could only be buried far away in Tokyo.
"It's just that Huang Guang and the others have ghosts in their hearts, and they are afraid that they will face the people they killed when they sweep the grave, and they will be exposed in the end.The older you get, the easier it is to be superstitious. You believe in the existence of so-called vengeful spirits, and you also believe that vengeful spirits will hinder your family's fortune. 』
For this reason, Izayoi commented in this way.
"But they didn't think that I was still alive, gained strength, and would come back and personally send the Shinomiya family to the end of decline. 』
Headed by Kaguya, the order of worship is Hayasaka, the Sijo siblings, and then Wanlihua and Yinglili.
Because apart from this kind of routine death day, Hayasaka will also be arranged by Kaguya on weekdays, and come to clean up every month...Of course, even if Kaguya didn't say so, she would ask for it.
Wan Lihua, who was waiting at the end, was about to turn around and tell Ying Lili to let herself be the last, when she saw the blond girl who had been bowing her head in silence, crying till she was crying.
Perhaps since she got close to here, she forced herself to face the facts, and she has been crying silently, for fear that everyone will cry too.
Even Wanlihua didn't know how to comfort her at the moment, and if she accidentally said the wrong thing, it would be even worse.
She took out a handkerchief from the bag hanging on her arm, and quietly handed it to Ying Lili's hand, then stepped forward, stood in front of her, and talked in a low voice with the four siblings.
She has other tasks.
"To be honest, although I haven't been able to come these years, I actually... can't accept this fact." Wan Lihua considered her tone, and told the two what she wanted to convey to the two, "Even if I can come, I can't accept it." Most likely don’t want to come.”
"Eh?" Di was taken aback for a moment.
Concubine Zhen's heart trembled, and she suddenly understood, thinking that Wan Lihua probably thought so, and Shizaye would say that.
"That night, I did have something ahead of schedule, but I also learned about the situation that day." Wan Lihua expressed that suspicion in a low voice, "Why did you leave Shizhu alone?"
"Of course it is..." Shijodi pursed his lips tightly and explained, "We lost to Shi Zhu in a poker game, and he drove us off the boat to buy—"
He has recalled the facts countless times, but when he mentioned it again at this time, he seemed to be poured from head to toe by a bucket of ice water. Some details that he had subconsciously ignored were poured in from the cracked celestial cover, stopping his words.
