Tian Yuxiang secretly warned herself and also encouraged herself that no news meant no news.
If Dong Kai were gone, her world would collapse.
Although Tian Yuxiang subconsciously felt that this conclusion was very likely, she had never thought about it this way.
In the middle of the night, Tian Yuxiang was walking back and forth in the living room, unable to sleep.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the Chinese New Year, she will be nineteen years old.
Before the New Year, she and Dong Kai had discussed that during the New Year, before the contract was executed, they would travel to Europe together to see the Northern Lights. They heard that only the happiest people could see the Northern Lights. They also planned to go to Denmark together to see the legendary fairy tale world, and bring their two children with them.
Now, it seems like everything has come to nothing.
Tian Yuxiang spent two or three days like this without being able to eat, and there was no call from the police station.
The new year is over.
…
On the fifth day after Dong Kai disappeared, the case made great progress.
A man took a six-carat diamond ring to a pawn shop, but the ring was kept by the pawnshop owner.
This ring is worth a million. The mall has preserved pictures of it, and there is a code inside the ring. The public security organs have already notified all major pawnshops. If anyone comes to pawn it, they will detain them.
The ring that Tu bought from Dong Kai is worth over one million and is highly recognizable, making it an important clue to solving the case.
This is a turning point.
However, it was this turning point that made Deputy Director Zhao feel that this matter might have nothing to do with Tian Yuxiang.
If Ruoyu has anything to do with her and Dong Kai is missing, there is no need for her to take out the ring. Isn't it redundant?
After detaining the pawnshop owner, the public security bureau began to interrogate him, asking him where the ring came from.
This person looked extremely unlucky and muttered to himself, "I told you, this pie in the sky is too hot to handle."
He said he picked it up on the highway from Fengcheng to Rongcheng. He got off the car to pee on the side of the road and saw something shiny and golden in the dirt. He thought that someone must have come to the toilet and the ring fell off his finger. He didn't notice it and was quite complacent at the time. However, when he picked it up, there was a lot of ashes on the ring. He thought it was normal because it had been in the wild for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.
The police asked the man to be taken to the place where the items were picked up.
Deputy Director Zhao also went.
The police's sharp eyes discovered that the place where the ring was lying had been where the body had been burned. This was also common sense for the police.
All the police officers were horrified. Burning a corpse is such a cruel act.
This was a piece of soft land. After investigation, the police found a piece of thumb in the ground.
Although it was a bright sunny day, everyone present was trembling with fear, as if it was a freezing winter.
The person who picked up the ring was vomiting until his face turned pale and bile came out.
He cried out in his heart, he had known long ago that he couldn't be greedy for such a bargain. He only now realized that his ring was picked out from corpse oil. Corpse oil, corpse oil, it was the first time he had ever seen corpse oil. He felt sick and wanted to vomit. How could he have such bad luck? The ashes on the ring turned out to be, actually -
The thought of this made his whole body shudder.
The police were all watching from the spot. The color of the soil in this place was obviously different from that in other places.
Director Zhao lit a cigarette and frowned slightly. "Call Tian Yuxiang and ask her to come and identify the person."
He called Jiang Xingzhi himself and said that Dong Kai was probably found in the suburbs.
"Where?" Jiang Xingzhi couldn't believe it. In the suburbs, could it be that he was murdered?
"I'll send you the location in a moment, so be prepared."
"What kind of mental preparation?"
“It’s tragic.”
"Dead?" Jiang Xingzhi asked again with a frown.
"It hasn't been finalized yet. The area around here is under martial law. When you come, tell me and I'll pick you up. Don't make any noise when you come." Director Zhao said again.
"That." Jiang Xingzhi said.
He still frowned tightly, wondering, what's going on around Tian Yuxiang? Why are there only dead people around? Who did it this time?
Director Zhao said, the death was very tragic, but how tragic could it be?
A few days ago, he went to Director Zhao's house and turned down a dinner invitation from Xi Shaoshan. Xi Shaoshan went home in anger.
She waited for Jiang Xingzhi to coax her, but Jiang Xingzhi really didn't have the patience and didn't take it to heart.
When Jiang Xingzhi arrived at his destination, he saw that there were not many people at the scene. A cordon had been set up around the area, and everyone looked very secretive.
Director Zhao saw him coming and beckoned him over, saying, "This is a serious matter, so don't say anything. I've already asked Tian Yuxiang to identify the body. Look at her expression to see if it's real or fake, and see if there are any flaws. I don't know her well."
Jiang Xingzhi said that no matter how rich he was, why would he be called to such a matter involving human lives? It turned out that Director Zhao had a purpose.
People at the scene took photos to collect evidence and extracted corpse oil.
"Where is his body? Isn't it very tragic?" Jiang Xingzhi said.
Deputy Director Zhao pointed his mouth toward that direction.
Jiang Xingzhi frowned and asked, "Where?"
“Maybe it got burned.”
"Burned?" Even though he was used to big scenes, Jiang Xingzhi still felt creepy.
Was this done by Tian Yuxiang?
Jiang Xingzhi is now very conflicted. He hopes that she did it, which means that she has been with Dong Kai in the past few years not for love but for revenge. However, if she uses such cruel means, he would have felt a chill down his spine a long time ago, and now it is just another stab.
Jiang Xingzhi's inner feelings towards Tian Yuxiang became even more complicated after a few years.
He couldn't let it go.
…
It has been a few days since the Chinese New Year, and Tian Yuxiang's family spent the New Year in a superficial state. Because Dong Kai was not there, Tian Yuxiang forced a smile in front of the two children, as if their father was just on a business trip. Now the mother and three of them are celebrating the New Year at home, and the atmosphere is still festive. However, there is no news from Dong Kai.
The longer time went on, the more uneasy she felt inside. She blamed herself for letting Dong Kai sign the contract for her. But it had always been like this in the past few years: he was outside and she was inside.
The quiet years of the past seemed to have come to an end at this moment.
Tian Yuxiang's mother had never felt so helpless and panicked before.
This year, she didn't even let her aunt go home for the New Year. Since there was no one at home, her heart was empty. She was panicked and gave her aunt triple her salary.
Although she didn't say it, my aunt knew that something must have happened to Dong Kai. My aunt was also a concerned person. These past few days, she just looked after the child without saying much.
Tian Yuxiang couldn't sleep all night. She started to lose her hair and even one of her hairs turned white.
After the New Year, she was nineteen years old, and her youthfulness seemed to be leaving her.
She will soon be thirty.
