Turbid Light
What Ji Xiangyang was going to do was too dangerous, and he didn't want to involve Qian Fuyou. He took a leave of absence on the pretext of being sick, but in fact he disguised himself as a driver and lurked beside Xu Mingwei.
As an outsourced worker, the company would not assign him any in-depth work. He was only responsible for transporting some clothes, and sometimes he had to travel long distances to other places. After working for half a month without any gain, he finally got an opportunity.
The driver responsible for pick-up and drop-off was not there that day, so he was sent to pick up someone else, who was Cheng Luduo.
At that time, Cheng Luduo didn't know about Xu Mingwei's shameful deeds. He just thought he was an old friend meeting to discuss business, and he was in high spirits chatting with him on the way. However, he didn't know that his former friend had long been corrupted by the desire for power and had changed beyond recognition. Cheng Luduo left Changtang Courtyard in anger. Ji Xiangyang found a new direction of investigation, but before it could be implemented, it was completely blocked by a long-buried danger.
Xu Mingwei had long noticed this strange driver. Initially, he suspected Ji Xiangyang was the organization's protective umbrella for him. After several investigations, he felt that the other party did not seem to be from this side. There was no way. His suspicion was too strong. The umbrella hidden in the dark was too easy to cause trouble. So he planned to use Ji Xiangyang to pull out the hidden ally. Only when they were exposed to the light together would they feel safe.
He killed Ji Xiangyang and used a batch of electrotherapy machines purchased by the base to interrogate Ji Xiangyang. However, this guy didn't say a word. When the strong liquor was poured on his burned skin, he had already lost consciousness. Finally, Xu Mingwei stabbed the dagger into his heart in frustration.
The next day, a body was dug out at Xu's construction site. Liang Qiuchen was shocked when he arrived. It was Ji Xiangyang, who had asked for sick leave from him, lying in the steel and concrete, covered in dust.
A policeman died in the city center, an intern from out of town. It was such sensational news. Xu Mingwei stared at the group of reporters downstairs, mentally evaluating whether that person had the ability to handle this matter.
In less than two days, all reports about Ji Xiangyang and Xu's construction site disappeared. As night fell, Xu Mingwei waited for his allies.
"I can't believe that the person who was messaging me just a few days ago is just...gone. But I can't do anything. This incident is like a gust of wind, it's gone as soon as it blows. The school and the Municipal Bureau have tacitly chosen to cover up for each other, as if this person had never been there. Ji Xiangyang's file was destroyed, and his traces were erased bit by bit. In the end, only the 'missing' was known to the outside world. They bullied him because he had no family!" Qian Fuyou said angrily.
He said Ji Xiangyang had no family, and the one who was most saddened and heartbroken was Xun Muke. She knew Ji Xiangyang was an orphan of a martyr, and she also knew how difficult it was for Ji Xiangyang's grandparents to raise him. When Ji Xiangyang lost all his relatives, it was Xun Muke who stayed by his side. She said, "I will be your new family in the future." However, his family still doesn't know who killed him or where his body is.
Ji Xiangyang's death was suppressed. The leader said that the impact could not be expanded and it would damage the honor of the Municipal Bureau. They could only investigate quietly and finally handed the case to Liang Qiuchen. Liang Qiuchen went out early and came back late. Everyone thought he was blaming himself, and no one was so tactless as to poke at his scars, but Qian Fuyou had no good feelings for this man, so when he left the Municipal Bureau late at night, he chose to follow him without hesitation.
"They met."
Qian Fuyou only saw Liang Qiuchen walk into Xu Mingwei's exclusive box. He didn't know what happened inside, but he waited outside the door. At around 1:00 a.m., Liang Qiuchen finally came out, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"The more I've thought about it over the years, the more I feel that Liang Qiucheng was in cahoots with Xu Mingwei. Xu Mingwei killed Ji Xiangyang, and Liang Qiucheng protected him."

On the way back to Shaoyang City from Fuchun County, Xun Muke experienced a heavy snowfall. Her car broke down on the highway. She just waited in a daze, and it took her a long time to react and call for help.
She was wearing thin clothes but didn't feel cold because her heart was frozen.
During the three hours of waiting for rescue, she even felt extremely that if she died now, she would be able to see him.
So she didn't do that.
"In the following year, I traveled back and forth between Fuchun and Qu'an as much as possible. With the help of Qian Fuyou, I found Gu Chusheng's residence."
Compared to Qian Fuyou, people like Gu Chusheng who have some connections live a pretty good life. They don't have to work and can live a peaceful life relying on their family for support.
Gu Chusheng was surprised by her arrival, "I didn't expect that after so long, someone still remembered him."
To be fair, Gu Chusheng quite disliked Ji Xiangyang. They were equally good-looking, but Ji Xiangyang was far inferior to him in family background. However, the only girls in the school only liked Ji Xiangyang. Not only girls, he seemed to get along well with everyone. Gu Chusheng called him "central air conditioning."
Gu Chusheng was dissatisfied when they were first assigned to intern together. First, Qu An lived too far away from his home, and second, he didn't want to be suppressed by Ji Xiangyang.
When he arrived in Qu'an, he found that things seemed different from what he expected. He didn't have to follow the front line every day, didn't have to attend regular meetings, didn't have to make messy reports, and didn't even have to punch in at work. Liang Qiuchen completely let them do what they wanted, which was simply too great for him, so he couldn't understand why someone would want to make trouble for him.
The person he was talking about was Ji Xiangyang.
He had seen Ji Xiangyang being scolded more than once, and Gu Chusheng felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw him being scolded. What's the point of being likable in school? You'll be honest once you enter society.
Later, he rarely saw Ji Xiangyang and thought he had given up. But the moment the construction team dug out the body, no matter how slow-witted Gu Chusheng was, he knew why he died.
Gu Chusheng is a person who gets excited about things only after a short while. The fact that Ji Xiangyang keeps holding on to the truth makes him respect him. But it is also because of him that Gu Chusheng gave up the path of being a policeman, because the price of pursuing the truth is too heavy. He admires Ji Xiangyang, but does not want to be like Ji Xiangyang.
After the incident, Gu Chusheng was arranged to use his family's power to destroy Ji Xiangyang's files. In the end, he suddenly regretted it and inexplicably left his autopsy report, which is still in his home.
Xun Muke obtained the autopsy report from him, which briefly summarized Ji Xiangyang's injuries and cause of death.

"No wonder, no wonder you resigned."
Xun Muke had already asked to resign at the beginning of last year, probably because he couldn't hold on any longer.
Xun Muke nodded, raised his head and shed tears, "I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to leave the Municipal Bureau."
She thought that she might never be able to seek justice for Ji Xiangyang in a proper way in her lifetime.
When she brought Ji Xiangyang's report to Liang Qiuchen, who had already retired, Liang Qiuchen was shocked by the autumn chill and the vicissitudes of life. He had never seen this woman before, but the resentment in her eyes was so deep and heavy, and the guilt in his heart was surging back and forth. Even so, he still did not dare to face the mistakes of the year and did not tell the truth.
Seeing her struggling, her parents urged her to give up her career and return to her family. Xun Muke shook her head, unwilling to argue with her parents, who didn't understand her, and returned to the small, shabby village. It was no longer the same place it once was; the government had transformed it into a rural tourism base. From downstairs, she watched the tourists coming and going. They were all families, complete families. Some left immediately after lunch, while others stayed for a few days. But she felt like she would never leave.
"During those days of recuperation, my heart was so peaceful, so peaceful that I almost thought I had let it go."
She has profiled many criminals, comforted many victims, and received many visitors, but she just can't get out of her own siege.
"You haven't actually let it go. Instead, the pain you've suppressed for so long has been rekindled because of Xu Mingwei's banquet."
This is exactly what Bai Shuo wanted to tell Chen An. He had discovered Xun Muke's presence in many links, such as her being on the list of people attending the night banquet, and her just happening to go there, and also the close sister who frequently appeared around Ji Xiangyang when checking interpersonal relationships.
"Why does he hold a night banquet? Why does he enjoy the prosperity that so many people have worked so hard to buy?" Xun Muke almost shouted, "When I look at this family of five, I always think of the lonely Ji Xiangyang. His parents sacrificed their lives for the cause, and now he has died in the pursuit of justice. How can I let him have it so easily?"
The invitation was sent to her parents. It was normal for her parents to attend such occasions as they were businessmen. Unfortunately, the banquet coincided with other activities, so her parents sent her to the banquet. Xun Muke didn't want to go at first, but then she thought that this was a good opportunity to get close to Xu Mingwei. Before, Xu Mingwei was accompanied by bodyguards, and now that he had just recovered from a serious illness, he would not have any close protection at the banquet he held. At first, Xun Muke just wanted to plot against him to see if there was any way to expose the Xu family's dark side, but she didn't expect that her defense would be broken by the picture of their family of five having fun together.
Xu Jiaming, the son of a former wife, could actually smile when he was with his stepmother and two younger brothers. Perhaps that was the nature of wealthy families; only by being ruthless and cold-blooded could they survive long-term. In public, the three brothers lived in harmony, but behind the scenes, Xu Jiaming probably hated Xu Jiahe and Xu Jiayan.
For her, who is good at guessing people's minds, Xu Jiaming is the helper she has targeted.
But before she found Xu Jiaming, another person she didn't expect came to her.
