Chapter 315 Helpless
"I just received news that the two seriously injured prisoners in the hospital were also killed in the hospital this morning."
"What Fang meant was that the last clue has been lost and there is nothing to be found out if we continue investigating."
"So, this case is almost closed here."
“…”
Lin Siqiao then understood why Ambassador Liao looked so unhappy.
Fang has been mobilizing a large number of people for this case for several days.
Do they really not know who is behind this?
Not necessarily.
If these people hadn't slapped Fang in the face time and time again, they might not have gotten involved in this matter.
After all, the dead person is Chinese, and even the local people don’t know why he died.
They did this not to seek justice for those who died, but to save their own face and give an explanation to the people.
So although the case seems to be closed, it is actually just a compromise that goes only so far.
After all, the mastermind behind the scenes never received any substantial punishment. Even the little leader who jumped into the sea, no one dared to guarantee that he was buried in the sea.
Ambassador Liao was also helpless about this result.
Even though he argued his case over the phone, Fang's people didn't really care.
The next morning, the London Daily News published the news of the case being solved on the front page. Lin Siqiao also took a look at the newspaper while eating.
All I can say is, it’s better not to watch it.
This almost made me angry to the point of having a heart attack, because the entire article was nothing but praise for the efficiency of the National Police Agency.
As for the support provided by Shao Bin and the embassy soldiers, the newspapers did not mention it at all.
Ambassador Liao also saw the news in the newspaper.
He didn't really care because he had a lot of things to do next.
Three days later, the ashes of more than 17 members of the Xie family were placed in the local Chinese cemetery.
Since the Xie family had no direct relatives, all funeral arrangements were handed over to the embassy.
Ambassador Liao even turned down several meetings and went to the cemetery to pay his respects in person.
Many Chinese people came to the cemetery to pay their respects that day, and many were reluctant to leave until the end of the funeral.
As the dust on the murder case seemed to have settled, life in London returned to normal.
Many closed venues have begun to reopen to welcome visitors, and people are talking about new topics.
The delegation was almost ready to return after finishing its last working meeting.
The time is set for two days later, which is the 18th.
The day before departure, all members of the delegation were invited to visit the national museum.
Yes, it is that big museum where no Chinese can walk out with a smile.
In later life, Lin Siqiao also went there once.
When I saw these cultural relics being displayed as showpieces in cold counters, I felt so humiliated and heartbroken that I felt suffocated every time I saw them.
So a long time ago, Lin Siqiao had an idea.
She wanted to find an opportunity to put all the things inside into the space, and when the time was right, she would find a way to hand them over to the country.
Letting these "children" who have been away from home for many years return to their roots is Lin Siqiao's biggest obsession after arriving in the country, no doubt about it.
In fact, she had already planned everything in her mind.
But this idea has changed today.
The reason was that more than half of the delegation clearly expressed their refusal after learning that they were going to visit the museum today.
They were worried that they wouldn't be able to control their emotions when they arrived at the scene.
I will try my best to bring those things back.
It was Ambassador Liao's words that woke everyone up.
"I understand the grievance, resentment, and humiliation in everyone's heart, because I am also a Chinese, and my feelings are actually the same as everyone else's."
"To be honest, every time I go there, I want to smash the display cases."
"But I can't..."
"Because I know that those people are waiting to see me laugh and become hysterical. The more they want to do that, the more I won't do it."
"They are the ones who trampled and plundered our treasures. The problem lies with them!"
"They don't think this is a mistake, and they all have the nerve to show it. Why should I be afraid to watch it?"
"I not only want to watch, but I also want to watch openly."
"I just want them to know that we have the courage to face our past and history. Do they dare?"
Ambassador Liao said with hope, "The things have fallen into their hands. Our generation may not have the chance to see them return to China."
"But you are still here, and so are your next generation."
"As long as there are people, there is hope. Don't you think so?"
"I believe that one day, these babies who are stranded outside can return home openly."
"Will it? Will there be such a day?" someone said.
Similar problems have also occurred on airplanes.
Lin Siqiao still remembers that it was Mr. He who said it in a resounding voice.
"Yes, one day China will have its own civilian airliners."
And now Ambassador Liao has said the same thing.
"I will!"
Ambassador Liao's tone was more resolute and affirmative than ever before. "China started late and had a poor foundation, but we never gave up, right?"
"As long as we move forward steadily, people's lives will get better and better, and our country will become stronger and stronger."
"When the country has a say, we'll see if these people dare to show off their power like this again!"
"Just wait and see. No matter how they rob us, they will have to give it back to us in the end."
Ambassador Liao said a lot that day.
So much so that when Lin Siqiao stepped into the museum again, he felt surprisingly calm.
Perhaps taking into account the emotional issues of the Chinese people, the items exhibited in the museum this time are all ordinary cultural relics.
The security for some of the museum's collections is at a level rarely seen in recent years, with guards armed with real guns in front of basically every display case.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the delegation remained calm throughout the visit.
Before leaving, Lin Siqiao looked back at the cultural relics in the exhibition hall.
There is no reluctance and no regrets.
Ambassador Liao is right. If the country cannot be established, it will be useless even if she takes these cultural relics back now.
Even if Lin Siqiao handed them over to the country, they could not be placed in our museum openly.
Because...it's neither right nor reasonable.
Others may even suspect it is a fake...
When he thought of this, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in a sarcastic arc.
It is really ironic that you need such a ridiculous reason to take your own things back.
But the fact is that this is indeed the case, some things are just so helpless.
This was the result of the family murder case, and it is the same here.
With mixed feelings, Lin Siqiao returned to the embassy. As soon as he got off the car, the guard at the door trotted over.
"Report, Ambassador Liao, we have received an anonymous package."
