"I just wanted to go and see, but I felt a little uneasy." Lu Huaijiao couldn't explain the reason for her unease to Niu Fangfang.
Fortunately, Niu Fangfang wasn't the type to insist on asking for reasons.
Knowing that her best friend was going to Xu Xiuyun's house, she naturally went with her.
Lu Huaijiao was moved.
"But Fangfang, when I came to school, I heard that Xu Xiuyun died."
Before Niu Fangfang accompanies her to Xu Xiuyun's house, she needs to explain the situation clearly to avoid scaring Fangfang.
Niu Fangfang blinked.
She seemed to understand.
"You suspect she didn't commit suicide?"
After hearing that Xu Xiuyun had died, she did not show any fear. Instead, she thought about why Lu Huaijiao insisted on going to Xu Xiuyun's house.
Lu Huaijiao nodded.
"Exactly."
"Okay, I'll go with you. When shall we go?"
Niu Fangfang, who was expected to be scared, became excited after learning the truth.
They were itching to get to the crime scene immediately.
Lu Huaijiao: ? ? ? ?
Niu Fangfang chuckled: "Jiaojiao, you don't know, do you? My first choice was to go to a police academy, but my parents said that if a girl becomes a police officer, it will be very difficult for her to find a boyfriend later..."
Fearing she wouldn't be able to give her parents a grandchild, Niu Fangfang finally compromised and chose her current school.
Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't get into the Public Security University, she felt it was all worth it after meeting Lu Huaijiao, her good friend, at the school.
Lu Huaijiao: ...
I never expected that Niu Fangfang would have this kind of hobby.
However, since she wasn't afraid of dead people, there was no obstacle to getting to Xu Xiuyun's house. They had no classes in the afternoon, so they ate lunch in the cafeteria and then rode Niu Fangfang's bicycle together towards Xu Xiuyun's house.
Xu Xiuyun's family is local. Although the Xu family is not a wealthy family, her parents seem to be factory workers, and other relatives also have jobs to some extent.
They probably felt that what Xu Xiuyun and Zhao Guofu had done was too shameful, so after Xu Xiuyun died, not a single person from the Xu family came to visit.
When Lu Huaijiao and the others arrived, they saw Xu Xiuyun's husband and two other people he had brought with them putting Xu Xiuyun into a thin coffin and preparing to send her to the funeral home.
Lu Huaijiao stood by the courtyard gate for a moment.
Song Yongfu was settling wages with the two people who had helped him when he caught a glimpse of Lu Huaijiao and Niu Fangfang out of the corner of his eye. He assumed they were relatives of the Zhao family.
“You don’t need to come anymore. Xiuyun just left. Let’s just leave it at that and let her leave with some dignity.”
That being said, hanging oneself is actually a very undignified act.
Niu Fangfang glanced at Lu Huaijiao, who then took a few steps forward and came to a spot not far from Song Yongfu.
"Comrade Song, right? We are not members of the Zhao family."
"Not from the Zhao family? Then it must be someone from the neighborhood?" Song Yongfu wasn't very familiar with Xu Xiuyun's social life and didn't know who else besides the Zhao family would come to see Xu Xiuyun.
He boldly guessed that it might be people from the street coming over.
Since the incident involving Zhao Guofu and Xu Xiuyun came to light, many street officials have come to visit, but the first few times they came, the staff were about the same age as Xu Xiuyun.
I never expected it to be replaced by someone so young.
Song Yongfu was still wondering why the people on the street were coming over when Lu Huaijiao pursed her lips and said softly, "Can we ask you some questions about your wife?"
She did not deny the street's identity.
After all, having a staff member's identity makes it easier for them to investigate, right? And if anyone investigates later, she can say that she didn't say she was from the street office, and that it was all Song Yongfu's guess.
No wonder.
Well, okay, although what Lu Huaijiao did was a bit unethical, she had no other choice.
The unease in her heart was too strong. If she didn't find out the cause of Xu Xiuyun's death, Lu Huaijiao felt that something big would happen.
The major event that may occur is even more serious than the reservoir collapse during the Lunar New Year.
So she was forced to lie.
Song Yongfu genuinely believed that the two women were from the neighborhood committee. Therefore, after Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Xiuyun's coffin and said, "That's fine, but I need to take Xiuyun to the funeral home first."
"Okay, then we'll go with you?"
"Can."
With Song Yongfu's consent, Lu Huaijiao and Niu Fangfang, along with Song Yongfu and the two people he had hired, delivered Xu Xiuyun's coffin to the funeral home.
I happened to run into the Zhao family here.
Zhao Guofu, whose wife had died "accidentally," was somewhat puzzled when he saw Song Yongfu escorting the thin coffin in.
Song Yongfu glanced at Zhao Guofu, said nothing, and went to talk to the staff about buying a burial plot and cremating the body.
Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Xiuyun was still his wife. Even if they had never had a real relationship over the years, he still held the position of Xu Xiuyun's husband, so it was only right that he take care of her funeral arrangements.
Logically speaking, a normal man would be extremely angry if his wife cheated on him and he witnessed the other woman.
However, when Song Yongfu saw Zhao Guofu, his expression was very calm, and he didn't even show a hint of anger.
He calmly explained his needs to the staff, and even the staff admired Song Yongfu.
He's just too amazing.
What kind of good temper does a man have to be able to remain so calm when faced with a man who is having an affair with his wife?
The funeral home staff didn't know.
Lu Huaijiao and the others also found it unbelievable.
The people on Zhao's side also found it extremely unbelievable.
Compared to Song Yongfu's indifference, Zhao Guofu's expression cracked for a moment when he learned that the corpse in the coffin was Xu Xiuyun, the woman he had just slept with a few days ago.
He seemed to have lost his soul.
"How...how could this be? Xiuyun, how could she be so foolish?"
Zhao Guofu muttered to himself.
His reaction was more like that of Xu Xiuyun's first wife than that of Song Yongfu.
Lu Huaijiao watched Zhao Guofu with great interest; Zhao Guofu's reaction was truly intriguing.
Song Yongfu glanced coldly at Zhao Guofu, who was standing there in a daze, then sneered and turned to Lu Huaijiao and the others, saying, "Comrade, I've taken care of things. Let's go."
"OK."
Lu Huaijiao and Niu Fangfang were about to leave together.
They had only taken a few steps when they heard hurried footsteps behind them, and then, the person who should never have followed caught up.
"Song Yongfu, tell me the truth, how did Xiuyun die? You killed her, didn't you? You killed her?"
