Chapter 86
Listening to Sun Luohua's story, Chen He imagined what Qiu Yue had experienced at that time, and his eyes were sometimes hot and sometimes wet.
The red light on the phone flashed, indicating that the time limit was almost up. Chen He adjusted his breathing and said as he inserted a coin, "Sun Luohua, please tell me where Qiu Song's accident happened and the specific cause of his death. We need to complete the file registration."
Sun Luohua heard the clattering sound of coins being inserted. She had no idea what the sound was, and had no idea that the person from the Civil Affairs Bureau opposite was a fake.
Talking about her son's death, she became sad: "I only found out after Xiaosong's accident. He worked in a car repair shop in Lanzhou, not far from my hometown. There was an explosion in the shop, and he was killed. Oh, my poor son..."
Sun Luohua was beating her chest over there.
Chen He's heart tightened when he heard this: "How could there be an explosion? Was it an accident?"
"It must be the auto repair shop's responsibility! After this incident, Qiu Changfu even asked me to go to Lanzhou with him to ask the auto repair shop for compensation.
"The auto repair shop turned against us, saying Komatsu violated regulations and caused the explosion, and they wanted us to compensate for the damage to their shop... Anyway, after all the arguments, no one got any advantage."
When talking about her son's death, Sun Luohua naturally focused on "compensation" and called it "making a profit."
Chen He suppressed her disgust and asked, "Do you remember the name of the auto repair shop?"
"Remember, it's called Qingde Auto Repair Shop."
"Okay, I'll take note." Chen He said, "What year did it happen?"
"It was the second year after Xiaoyue's surgery."
Chen He's eyes flickered. "You said Qiu Yue had surgery during the summer vacation of her second year of junior high school. Then, after Qiu Song passed away, who paid for Qiu Yue's high school education and the tuition for the art training base?"
"How would I know that? Xiaoyue blames me for divorcing her and not wanting her, and she doesn't even contact me. How would I know?" Sun Luohua's tone was a bit sarcastic.
Chen He deliberately said in a serious tone, "Judging from Qiu Changfu's attitude towards Qiu Yue, it's impossible that he paid for this. So...it couldn't be you who paid for it, right? If you are so financially well-off, you shouldn't need our help, right?"
"Oh my, how is that possible?" Sun Luohua raised her voice in panic, "I've been working for years and can't even support myself! Besides, I'm not an idiot. Even if I had money, I wouldn't spend it on a money-loser!"
Chen He's knuckles turned white as she clenched the microphone. She asked patiently, "Who's paying for her education? Don't you have any guesses?"
"Oh, comrade leader, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's true that family disgrace should not be made public." Sun Luohua's tone became even more sarcastic.
Chen He frowned and said, "We are discussing work. There is no such thing as family scandal. Just tell the truth."
Sun Luohua uttered a disdainful sound, "Leader, please don't blame me for being so reluctant. I'm just too embarrassed to speak out.
“I originally thought it was Xiaosong who paid for her schooling, but after Xiaosong passed away, I was surprised to find that someone still paid for her education.
"It's not just high school tuition, but also art training. I heard it costs 60,000 yuan a semester! Someone is paying for it!"
"Where can a young girl get her money from? It must be dirty money. Oh, how could I raise such a girl? It's shameful!"
Chen He almost crushed the microphone.
She suppressed her trembling voice and asked in a dry tone, "Do you have any basis for saying this?"
"Of course. My fellow villager and I worked in the same factory. When she returned home, she heard Qiu Changfu tell her story. Qiu Changfu was furious, saying that he had brought shame upon the ancestors of the Qiu family."
"Qiu..." Chen He immediately understood that the source of this dirty rumor was none other than Qiu Yue's biological father, Qiu Changfu.
That money-hungry beast, upon discovering that a mysterious person was sponsoring Qiu Yue's schooling, wanted to squeeze it out and snatch it away. When he failed, he threw the dirtiest water on his daughter's head.
Qiu Changfu is the person who brings the most shame to the ancestors of the Qiu family.
Countless swear words came to his lips, Chen He's chest heaved, and his eyes were burning red.
Sun Luohua on the other end of the phone heard no response and asked loudly: "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Is the signal bad?"
Chen He swallowed his saliva to suppress his anger, and asked dryly: "The file here is missing a photo of Qiu Song. I'll give you an email address, you can just send me an electronic version, and you can make some notes..."
The Qiu Song in Qiu Yue's sketch is only eleven or twelve years old, and it is a profile, so it is difficult to compare it with his appearance as an adult.
If you can get a photo of yourself when you are a little older, it will be useful as a reference.
If Qiu Song is still alive, he must have changed his name. With a photo, we can find him.
But Sun Luohua said, "I don't have any photos of Xiaosong here."
"You're a mother, you don't have any photos, do you? Developed ones, or saved in your phone will do."
"Alas, ten years ago I didn't even have a cell phone, so how could I have taken a picture of him?"
"Then, Qiu Changfu should have it, right?"
"We did have a few studio photos at home, but they were burned by Qiu Changfu when Xiaosong died."
What a beastly father.
Chen He cursed silently. He couldn't get Qiu Song's photo from these two people.
Chang Ting should be able to find photos from middle or high school in his information files, but Chang Ting didn't want her to continue getting involved and wouldn't give them to her even if she asked.
She simply gave up and threw out one last question: "Oh, by the way, is Qiu Song born in the Year of the Pig?"
"yes."
Chen He stopped pretending and asked, "Did he wear a little pig carved out of a peach pit on his hand when he was alive?"
"Yes, it's a handicraft that Xiaoyue made when she was a child and gave it to Xiaosong. It's a little toy, and he wears it all day long like a treasure... Hey? Leader, how do you know this?" Sun Luohua felt strange.
Chen He didn't answer, and said, "That's it."
Sun Luohua immediately put aside her confusion and asked, "Leader, when will the subsidy be paid out? How much will it be per month?"
"You don't meet the requirements." Chen He said stiffly.
"Why doesn't it fit? I have lost my son and daughter, and I am just an old widower!" Sun Luohua shouted anxiously.
Chen He took a deep breath and said, "You clearly knew that Qiu Yue was in poor health and Qiu Changfu despised his daughter, but when you divorced her, you left her to Qiu Changfu and let her fend for herself.
"As parents, you have no sense of responsibility and let one child risk his life to save another.
"You seem to value your son, but in fact, you are just treating his upbringing as a transaction. You regard Qiu Song as a tool for retirement and are waiting to suck his blood.
"When Qiu Yue and Qiu Song got into trouble, you and Qiu Changfu didn't think about how pitiful your children were or whether they were wronged. You only thought about getting compensation and money.
"Qiu Yue finally climbed out of the mire and stood up, and you're jealous of her. You hear a little gossip from others and you're so happy to put the blame on your own daughter.
"You and Qiu Changfu are selfish, despicable, and unworthy of being parents. You deserve to live in poverty and loneliness until the end of your life."
After Chen He finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
She leaned her back against the wall and slowly squatted down in the phone booth, her eyes red with grief and anger.
Crying makes people vulnerable, so she rarely shed tears in recent years.
At this moment, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Qiu Song risked his life to save his sister from the hands of death and tried his best to fight for a future for her.
Qiu Yue, whose bright future was finally within reach, was destroyed by the devil.
At this moment, she hoped very much that Qiu Song was not dead and was still alive.
If all the good things were destroyed, the world would be too hopeless.
Now she was sure that Qiu Song loved Qiu Yue, and there was no doubt about that.
Without any more evidence, she could conclude that a devil like Male God 001 could never be Qiu Song.
No matter how fragmented a person's personality is, it can never be fragmented to this extent.
How did Qiu Song’s peach kernel pig end up in 001’s hands?
The answer to this question must be the key to solving the puzzle.
Chen He was eager to get an answer.
She sat on the floor of the phone booth, looking at the falling autumn leaves outside the glass door, and whispered:
"Qingde Auto Repair Shop in Lanzhou City."
We have to go to the place where Qiu Song died to find the answer.
