The falling paper

According to He Yu's letter, the real Lv Zhishu Vivian ran away many times and was found back. In the last escape, she met Zhou Muying.

The details are not known, but it's not hard to guess that Zhou Muying, as a mother and a police officer, could easily have noticed young mothers who were clearly in trouble.

Let's make an assumption that Vivian was pregnant, walking without hope, and Zhou Muying noticed her and asked her about her condition.

Vivian was probably not feeling well at that time, and the money she had with her was almost used up, Zhou Muying might have taken her to eat a meal, or opened a hotel for her to have a good rest, all in all, after a period of time contact, Vivian judged that the female officer in front of her didn't have any malice towards her. After a while, Vivian realized that the policewoman did not mean her any harm. Her long-standing emotions finally broke through at this vulnerable moment, and Vivian told Zhou Muying what had happened to her.

"When she said those words, she didn't have much hope that Officer Zhou would help her, perhaps she just wanted a little emotional release." He Yu's letter reads, "After all, she had no evidence in her hands to support her suspicions about Wei Rong. No one around her believed her suspicions, and that is precisely why she fled Huzhou."

"But from the series of events that happened later, we can see that Zhou Muying, towards my mother, chose to believe."

No one knows how the two young women communicated, how they built trust.

However, Zhou Muying is a very gentle police officer, and it makes sense that Vivian would drop her guard against her, since even a foreign courtesan like Li Miaoqing could be touched by her sincerity and kindness.

Now that both mothers are no longer alive, no one can restore the full extent of the conversation that took place, but there are glimpses for the living in one of Vivian's belongings.

That relic was found by He Jiwei during his investigation--

A postcard that Vivian later sent to Zhou Muying.

It was sent to Zhou Muying before Vivian went into labor, but she didn't know at the time that Zhou Muying had just passed away, and the postcard was placed in a file box in the police station's receiving room due to the death of the recipient.

In fact, this kind of purely humane postcard should be disposed of casually, but Zhou Muying usually treats people too well, the office aunty saw that this letter could no longer reach the hands of the recipient, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and with a thought they casually saved it in Zhou Muying's archive bag, and then later on with a lot of expired pieces together with the seal in the long-term archive. It was only then that He Jiwei had the opportunity to see his wife's letter to Officer Zhou twenty years later.

The content of that postcard was simple: Vivian invited Xie Qingcheng's parents to bring their own children to her home when her child was born.

She wrote on the postcard, "Thank you for all the help you've given me. I'm looking forward to meeting Sister Zhou, my brother-in-law, and Qing Cheng and Xiao Xue.

She refers to Zhou Muying as Sister Zhou on the letter.

She even wrote the name of Xie Qingcheng, He Yu's real mother, when she was alive, once wrote the word Qingcheng with one stroke of the pen, this feeling is really very subtle.

He Yu continued, "After seeing this postcard from twenty years ago, my father recalled a story about Xie Ping and Zhou Muying. Yes, he had seen them too, and he was sure that Officer Xie Zhou had met Wei Rong once in a clubhouse in Yanzhou after he met Vivian."

"The meeting was not easy, Wei Rong was always proud of her status as the daughter of a big government official and didn't see Xie Ping Zhou Muying as belonging to the same class as her, until they told her that the girl she was looking for for He's family lab was with them. Only then did she agree to find a place to meet the two officers."

"On the day of the meeting, Zhou Muying asked Wei Rong some very difficult questions and recorded them. Those questions exposed Wei Rong and made it difficult for her to explain, and she became angry and argued with Zhou Muying. She was probably trying to take my mother away straight away, and in the process, she tugged and pulled and dropped an earring. ......"

Apparently, Zhou Muying has determined that Wei Rong is no good, and that the frame-up is not Vivian's paranoia, but a real one.

So after this meeting, Zhou Muying personally accompanied Vivian back to Huzhou and told He Jiwei what had happened, which is why He Jiwei knew the truth. ......

"But my father never told me about this past before."

He Yu writes: "He even once told me that my mother always thought she had failed to protect me from the biochemical infection. In his previous accounts, he never mentioned Wei Rong. Perhaps he already had suspicions in his heart, but he simply didn't dare to face them, preferring to deceive himself and others at that time."

It is no wonder that He Jiwei had an ulcer in his heart. After all, He Jiwei had once suspected Wei Rong and had almost uncovered the truth. After all, He Jiwei had once suspected Wei Rong and almost found out the truth. At that time, he was shocked and furious when he learned that Wei Rong had indeed probably framed his wife. Zhou Muying and Xie Ping said they would look into the matter and once they had evidence, they would tell He Jiwei and seek justice for them. He Jiwei thanked them and promised that he would take good care of his wife day and night.

"Shortly after this incident, Xie Ping Zhou Muying was suddenly reported to be falsely accused, both demoted, and then there was that accident of the truck starting to burst into flames. Two people died." He Yu writes, "My father's first thought was that the murderer could be Wei Rong, and he was worried that my mother would grieve too much, so he didn't tell his wife, who was about to go into labor, but decided to go to the police station to report the case after much deliberation."

"However, the night before he was about to go to report the case, something happened that completely discouraged him from reporting the case, and he even felt that he was thinking wrongly and that it was just a coincidence. That thing was - Wei Rong actually died in an accident. A car accident, too."

"The man was already dead, so my father no longer had any reason to beware and suspect a dead man. After that, Vivian went into labor in Shanghai and gave birth to me." He Yu writes, "These events happened in such a concentrated manner that my father had little time to breathe or think deeply about them, and then he was so immersed in the joy of being a first-time father that he left all these suspicions behind."

The latter part is the story that He Yu once told Xie Qingcheng when they were getting along, about his mother's gradual deformity after marriage and her subsequent change of temperament.

The epistle reads, "Over the years, my father's attitude towards her has changed from one of unquenchable pity at first to one of nothing but sympathy, not really because her appearance has gone out of shape, but because he has gradually come to feel that his wife has changed completely."

"They used to have a lot in common, and then gradually can't talk together, he used to like her pure and straight, now in her body only see the greasy, he has always been obedient to her, to take care of her heart, what she prefers, he will be completely from her choice, they even have a second child, Lv Zhishu very spoiled the second son, he loved his wife because of the very best, but also try to keep in line with her. But day after day, he realized that it was impossible for her to go back to the past. It was as if she had, through and through, become a woman to whom he was a stranger."

"I think the seed of doubt in his mind was planted a long time ago. It's just that he never dared to kowtow to that truth. Because he subconsciously knew that the truth must be more than he could afford."

"It is not easy for a man to admit that he has done wrong; it is even harder for him to admit that what he is doing is wrong. He just kept running and hiding from that invisible ghost, until recently, one case after another frequently ...... Huang Zhilong killing his wife, the illegal development of hearing water, cross-border drug research, far beyond the current scientific research technology invention ...... these things pushed him to a dead end, and that conjecture in his heart constantly fit. He could no longer act as if nothing had happened, and he finally made up his mind to find out the truth about that year. As Wei Rong's direct supervisor, Vivian's husband, and even the one who had contacted the two police officers before Zhou Muying Xie Ping's death, he has more detailed clues in his hands than anyone else. He put all the pieces of the puzzle together and finally saw the whole picture of the incident -"

The letterhead turns another page.

"It turns out that Wei Rong was targeted by a cross-border illegal research organization in Australia when she was a student at the school because of her excellent grades and family background. Wei Rong saw the many benefits the organization could offer her, and shared their main philosophy, so she was quickly absorbed by the organization and became one of its members."

"The higher-ups in this organization are often people with whom they have exchanged great benefits, such as Huang Zhilong, whom the organization helped to hide evidence of his wife's murder and humiliation, which is both a proof of competence and a deep bond of complicity. The same goes for Wei Rong. She and the organization to complete the deep bondage of those dirty things, is murder, kill police, plastic surgery ...... In a nutshell, it is the organization to use their own high-tech means, for her to complete a flawless 'civet for a prince'."

It was a time honed, precision laid out plan.

Wei Rong learns that Zhou Muying Xie Ping is investigating her for deliberately framing Vivian, and quickly reports the situation to the organization for help.

In order to get her off the hook and help her fulfill her wish of marrying the man she really loves, as well as to get rid of the "poor girl Vivian" whom she hates so much, Wei Rong and the people of the organization carry out a series of crazy acts.

They first used their connections to put a demotion deterrent on the Hsiehs, and after realizing that the couple still hadn't given up on the case for Vivian, they simply used the spontaneous combustion van to kill the Hsiehs, who had first-hand evidence.

The organization then orchestrated Wei Rong's faked death before He Jiwei reported it as more evidence.

Although Wei Rong's identity is noble, the old man in charge of the Wei family is a very upright old cadre, once he knows that there is such a murderer scum in the family, he will definitely not protect Wei Rong.

Moreover, the organization has arranged a follow-up identity for Wei Rong that is not low, and they are also counting on Wei Rong to become the head of the organization's drug testing and manufacturing base in the hinterland for a long time after he has changed his identity.

So comparing the two, the identity of "Wei Rong" no longer holds any allure - according to the plan, Wei Rong is "dead".

Her death was designed to be very tragic, after the collision, the car exploded, the big explosion will be her body almost ash, at that time the technical means is not very advanced, the forensic pathologist only has those simple equipment, how to play with the Australian scientific research organization? Naturally, the identification result said that the dead person was Wei Rong herself.

And in fact, the real Wei Rong has been hiding in the organization's private estate in Huzhou, the organization's people are on her to carry out an amazing face change surgery, using all those scientists within their invention of drugs, equipment ...... able to achieve the transformation of the normal society absolutely can not achieve.

A few days later, Wei Rong recovered.

When she came out of the restorative solution barn dripping wet, she was met with a supremely graceful torso, her dark hair hanging down like black silk to cover her naked breasts, and the woman in the mirror, her mannish almond eyes wide open with a look of shock and ecstasy-

She became identical to He Jiwei's wife Vivian.

It's horrific surgery comparable to a sci-fi movie face swap.

Wei Rong is waiting on the property after the skinning, like a snake ready to swim out of a cavern.

The opportunity has finally come.

A few days before Vivian's due date, it was the birthday of Wei Dongheng, the third son of the main Wei family. Invitations were sent to He Jiwei, a rising star in the medical field.

He Jiwei was already well known and his lab was rapidly moving up the ladder, but he was not yet the Mr. He that he would become. The Wei family's invitations could not be begged for, and all the businessmen in Huzhou knew that to turn down an invitation from their family was either madness or foolishness.

So He Jiwei went to the banquet.

Vivian has been using RN-13 to keep the fetus, she and He Jiwei at that time were holding the attitude of trying the dead horse as a living horse, they did not know that even this savior-like medicine is the organization deliberately arranged to recommend. On the day of the banquet, the scientific researcher who secretly belongs to the organization changed the RN-13 injected to her into a drug that induces labor, and Vivian's water broke, and she was rushed by the scientific researcher who was next to her to the arranged hospital for delivery.

Hatchetting happened that way.

In the labor room of that private hospital, Vivian gave birth to a baby boy, and with tears in her eyes, she asked the doctor to answer the phone call from her husband, who was on his way here in a frenzy.

"I want him to be called He Yu ...... This is the best child God has given us ...... Do you remember? We've been thinking for a long time that we're going to call him He Yu ......"

"Good good good! You stop talking, I'll be right there! I'll be right over!"

He Jiwei didn't realize that was the last conversation he would ever have with his real Vivian.

The mother was young and in the right position, the baby was born quickly, and when the labor was over she was to be wheeled into the monitoring room to be monitored.Vivian closed her eyes wearily as a hand rested on the guardrail of her hospital bed and pushed her toward the special elevator, but Vivian didn't see it.The elevator button that the person pressed was not the normal maternity monitoring floor.Vivian's mother was in the hospital and she had to be taken to the hospital to be monitored.

Instead--

Negative two.

Too, flat, and between!

Throughout the process, the researcher used a long-prepared hearing water of the initial generation to disorient the medical care and complete the murder and confuse the public.

Meanwhile, Wei Rong, who had already been prepared to be adjusted to a state similar to Vivian's after giving birth, lay down on a mobile hospital bed.

The elevator doors opened once more and the cart entered.

The elevator rose, bringing with it a slight sense of weightlessness, and Wei Rong, with all those tubes and breathing masks, looked unusually pale, but she knew it wasn't because of the pain of the birth, but because of her extreme arousal and her extreme emptiness.

She kept her eyes open, looking into the pale, cold lights of the elevator.

The man sent by that organization whispered by her bedside, "Miss Wei, after you leave this elevator door, the past is over, you must remember that you are Lv Zhishu, you are He Jiwei's wife, He Yu's mother, and you are Vivian."

She nodded, clenching her cold hands tightly.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened once more.

She was wheeled out, all this because of organized concealment, without anyone noticing anything unusual, and she was wheeled into the custodial ward, where the nurse took over the trolley armrests and, as she does when she attends to every woman in labor, professionally confirmed, "Maternal name? What's your name?"

Her lips opened and closed under her breathing mask, her heartbeat beating like an invisible war drum. And so began a two-decade-long deception.

"Lv Zhishu," she said, "My name is Lv Zhishu."

.

"He Jiwei left evidence of all these things." Wei Er, seeing Xie Qingcheng read this, said, "We interrogated Lv Zhishu, and she confessed something that matches what is said in this letter."

"........." Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, obviously just reading so many pages of text, but it was as if he had drained all the strength from his body.

Wei Er: "Although the fake Lv Zhishu's full-body speed plastic surgery gave her Vivian's appearance temporarily, their techniques were not fully developed, and as time passed, her appearance began to deteriorate rapidly, which caused her to become very anxious. She wanted Vivian's beauty like crazy, and she hated everything Vivian left behind. He Jiwei said that she once had a fit and burned a lot of her old belongings, and he thought at the time that she was mentally stimulated, but in fact she really wanted to destroy those traces."

Xie Qingcheng thought about how He Yu once talked to him about this, and He Yu said at the time - "My mom burned almost all of the clothes she had before she gave birth to me, photos ...... "

He Yu also mentioned to him that when he was young, his mother loved to wear the vintage Hong Kong-style red dresses that were popular at the time, and was very fond of the color red, but never wore it again after giving birth to himself.

Elderly people in the mountain village that hosted the Wei family's marriage back then also mentioned that Wei Rong detested the color red very much.

In fact, it's not the color red that this woman loathes at all, it's the fact that Vivian the person ...... has everything right.

"Her mentality is not hard to understand." Wei Er said. Wei Er said, "On the one hand, she desperately wants to have everything of Vivian and become He Yu's own mother, and on the other hand, she looks down on He Yu as a real mother from an ordinary background. It's not enough for her to kill the real Vivian, she also wants to erase all traces of her life ...... The only thing she can't erase is He Yu. She needs to take He Yu's real mom as her own, and completely possess this child, but she also doesn't want to see the shadows of Vivian on this child, and this is how He Yu has lived in such a deformed family environment for the past twenty years. He Yu has grown up in such a deformed family environment."

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes, which he knew better than anyone else.

Wei Er said here, paused: "He Jiwei finally confessed everything to He Yu, should have expressed his extreme guilt and remorse, but it was already too late. He had been deceived by the fake Lv Zhishu for such a long time, and also had a real flesh and blood with her,...... that is, He Yu's younger brother, He Li. In order to take care of his 'wife's' feelings, he obeyed her and spoiled He Li for so many years, but he hardly ever came close to the real Vivian, who belonged to him. He has never been close to the child that really belongs to Vivian. Even ...... the woman he made up the wedding with when He Yu was two years old and solemnly married into the door was not the girl he loved so much at all, but Wei Rong, Vivian's murderer."

"He Jiwei loved Vivian very much, far more than he loved He Yu, more than anything else in the world. That's why he knew the truth, and that's why he quickly sickened and decayed in just a few months."

"The agony completely crushed him, he felt a million nausea, fear, and grief, but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't even know if he should bother to disclose the truth any more ...... He was almost driven mad, and in order to escape from it all, he chose to commit suicide by drinking Bacchus in a fit of extreme self-loathing."

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes and said, "It was hard for him to determine the truth ...... because Lv Zhishu had been lying to him. She even sleeps without forgetting to act, will say 'it's mom didn't protect you' and so on, these things He Jiwei once said to me. But he said it with some hesitation, perhaps he did suspect in his heart that there was something wrong with it all."

"Yeah." Wei Er sighed, "Too bad He Jiwei isn't too brave a man, isn't it."

"......"

"He did not have the courage to face his faults of these twenty years until the last moment. In fact, he came close to taking these secrets to his grave, but perhaps man is in the eye of the beholder and such sins cannot be covered up after all. He Jiwei was temporarily resuscitated after drinking Bacchus ...... None of us know what he was thinking, but he finally kept He Yu by his side during the days he waited for death, and told him everything."

Wei Er said, pausing for a moment, "And He Yu ...... he is much braver than his father."

Xie Qingcheng's heart felt like it had been stabbed hard.

He thought of the last night he and He Yu spent in the Stranger Rain Alley ...... That time, He Yu acted so abnormal, that time, He Yu hugged him, hugged him so tightly, but said to him, maybe, this is the last time.

At that time, he thought He Yu had made a decision to take up the responsibility of the He family from now on.

Without realizing it, it turns out that ......

It turned out that He Yu had already learned the truth from He Jiwei at that time. At that time, He Yu was driven crazy by the pain, and was about to be driven to death by the truth in a desperate situation.

But He Yu ......, a boy who himself suffers from the disease of mental isolation, has to carry the burden alone and cannot say anything.

He Yu's "last time" was not because he chose the family, but because he knew everything, he knew that he had to go through fire to get the truth.

He wanted to love him for the rest of his life, but he had no other choice ......

Xie Qingcheng took a deep breath, and in front of his eyes was He Yu's sad and calm face that night, which could not be waved away. In his heart, he already knew what happened afterward.

He has guessed it all ......

But he still took the stack of letters, slowly, the last words He Yu left in this world, one word by one word to read down ...... one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word by one word, one word.

Not what he expected.

He Yu did all this to avenge his mother, Zhou Muying and Xie Ping, to find out all the illegal business Lv Zhishu had been doing all these years, and to leave her with irrefutable evidence.

Even this delivery was designed by him, the goods he handed over to Mandela's ship were secretly placed with his specially programmed location recording tracker, the other party would not be too serious about checking when the marine police could arrive at any time, and the tracker would be taken back to Duan Wen's lair by them, and they would be able to collect more information about the crime.

"Duan Wen's lair is very hard to find, that island is information-shielded, and we've been trying to find it, but never in vain. For so long, there has been no breakthrough whatsoever." Wei Er said, "But now ...... its latitude and longitude data has been transmitted back through the channel He Yu left for us."

"He Yu did what no one had done before."

"......"

Xie Qingcheng still didn't say a word, didn't say He Yu had done a good job, and didn't ask He Yu why he wasn't willing to tell any of them the news in advance.

He understood the purpose of all that was written in the suicide note.

And what was not written in the suicide note, he could understand.

Xie Qingcheng know Duan Wen that the organization is looking for the "First Emperor", and He Yu does not want to let him take the risk, he only wants to dig out the organization from the deep sea quagmire as soon as possible, completely destroyed, and from now on, no one will ever be curious about what the First Emperor really is! ...... He was trying to protect him.

The brat who was only 20 years old and knew all the truth was so obsessed with trying to protect him ......

Xie Qingcheng tried to turn down the last page of the suicide note, but failed to do so several times.

He thought the pages were stuck together, but Wei Er sighed and came over and helped him turn to the last page. He looked numbly at his hands and realized that it was his hands that were shaking so badly.

The last page is very little and very short, and explains things very simply.

That familiar handwriting reads:

"If the positioning of the delivery goes well, and I can come back safely, this suicide note should not be of any use, and when you arrest Wei Rong and interrogate me, I will try to tell you all the truth in my own words. But I know, this matter step by step, ring easy error, I may never be cleared of the charge, or perhaps will be buried directly in the ocean. If so ........."

Xie Qingcheng looked down, he could no longer feel any heat in his body, he could not feel the hot blood of the living flowing in his veins.

He saw the last paragraph:

"In that case, I hope that you will not give this letter to Xie Qingcheng. if I really die, I do not need to have my name corrected, I do not need to have my case overturned, please close the case against me on the grounds that I chose to defect to Duan Wen, because if my death has become a fact, I do not want the person who was the best to me in this world to grieve for me. Because if my death is a fact, I don't want the person who is the best to me in this world to feel sad for me. I would rather he be disappointed in me and spit on me for my lack of virtue than to see him grieve and blame himself."

"This is my only request."

"He Yu, August 19, 2022. Late night. Leave a note."

The room was awfully quiet, and no one said a word.

It was Wei Er who finally broke the silence.

I would love to fulfill his last wish for him, but no one can do it," he said. This case went straight to the top, and soon a lot of information will be made public to the whole country, and no one can hide the truth of this section. And I think ...... you should know. If the only person in the world who was good to him also disappointed him after his death and regarded him as a criminal, then in his life, it's as if he really didn't exist, and not a single person will remember or care about him."

"........."

Xie Qingcheng slowly put down the suicide note.

He did not listen to what Wei Er said any more. None of this seems to matter ...... anymore.

He just realized with an overwhelming clarity that He Yu didn't have to die.

If the police had not caught up with him at an inopportune time, He Yu actually would not have died ...... and the police had not been so easy to catch up with ...... were themselves taking the initiative to stand out and stand opposite He Yu.

The one who personally stabbed the knife into He Yu's chest, the one who didn't stop Director Lu in time, the one who didn't try his best to give He Yu a chance - was himself.

In this moment, he suddenly remembered his last phone call with He Yu.

At that time he said to He Yu:

Where the hell are you? You are so confused you ......

He Yu ......

Where the hell are you?

You are so confused ......

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes tightly--

He Yu said that he was the best person in the world for him.

And that turned out to be the last thing the one who had been the best to him, on this earth, ever said to him.

Xie Qingcheng reached out, slightly trembling, and stroked the words as if He Yu's hand had just left the page.

Unfortunately the paper is cold.

Xie Qingcheng, so he knows--

The gentle talismanic paper that struggled to keep the worn-out bear puppet alive on earth has finally ...... lost its last strength in this fishy-sweet, bleak sea breeze ......

It is very tired, isn t it ...... So many times, so many days and months, it tried so hard to give everything it had, to stop Xie Qingcheng s blood, to dress Xie Qingcheng s wounds. As a result, he himself was soaked wet and scarlet.

Now it no longer has the strength to hold on.

The fire trembled, the oil ran out, and he loved him to the last.

When life ends ...... the talismanic paper that clings to the Muppet Bear's heart finally follows him, unexpectedly ......

Gone down.
