The Zhou sisters fell asleep in car 04. When Cao Jianjun looked at them in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but feel sleepy too. He yawned and drank some Red Bull to stay awake.

At night, unlike during the day, you can't drive too fast.

As dawn broke, Cao Jianjun arrived at the Lvteng Municipal Bureau, yawning incessantly.

After two days and two nights without a good night's sleep, even with the system, my body started to feel fatigued.

When Zhou Hui took her wife upstairs and returned to the morgue of the forensic department, she cried again upon seeing the body.

After a day and a night of relaxation, Zhou Cong, the older sister-in-law, calmed down considerably and began to comfort her younger sister, which brought Cao Jianjun a great deal of relief.

"Brother Cao..."

Upon hearing that Cao Jianjun had arrived, Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei rushed over from the hotel at daybreak: "Just tell us what you need, and we'll do it."

"It's okay."

Cao Jianjun patted the two of them on the shoulder: "What are you busy with over here at Lvteng?"

"Entering the final stage of the intensive interrogation."

Li Dawei said, "Yesterday, He Yun made a breakthrough; she confessed to her crimes."

"The cases of Gao Mingyuan, the village chief of Yihe New Village, and his son are also nearing completion..."

"Now only Gao Mingyuan is left. He's been stubbornly refusing to speak all day, and he won't say a word no matter who asks him."

Just as he had expected, Cao Jianjun nodded: "If it were that easy to get him to talk, he wouldn't be Gao Mingyuan."

"Brother Cao..."

Zhao Jiwei looked into the morgue and said, "The director asked how you plan to arrange the funeral. We'll help you find a funeral home."

"I'll take care of the old man's funeral arrangements."

As they were talking, a loud voice rang out, and the group looked in the direction of the sound.

Li Chengyang appeared wearing a black trench coat that looked like a tattered rag, with black-rimmed glasses on his nose, a half-smile on his face, looking like a refined scoundrel.

Da Jiang, with a scar on his face, followed behind. The two men, one tall and one short, one roguish and one wicked, walked over.

"I knew you'd be back today. Oh dear, Dajiang and I waited downstairs at the Municipal Bureau all night."

Upon reaching him, Li Chengyang grasped Cao Jianjun's hand tightly, his eyes welling up with tears.

"For no other reason than that my master's case has been reopened, and the investigation into my wrongful conviction has also begun..."

“Cao Jianjun, I’ve remembered your name. I, Li Chengyang… will remember you for the rest of my life, as long as I live.”

As he spoke, Li Chengyang couldn't hold back his emotions any longer and reached out to hug Cao Jianjun tightly.

"Thank you! Really, thank you so much..."

"For fourteen years, my master has carried the infamy for fourteen years, and died without knowing why."

Even his son, Lin Hao, doesn't acknowledge his father.

Li Chengyang had a smile on his face, but he couldn't stop the tears from flowing, wiping them away with tissues repeatedly.

"Li Chengyang? That's boring."

Cao Jianjun punched him: "Damn it, what are you two grown men doing being so pretentious here?"

"No more."

Li Chengyang let out a long sigh, half-crying and half-laughing, and pointed to the morgue: "Where are you planning to hold the funeral? Green Vine or Spring City?"

"Yihe New Village, please."

Cao Jianjun smiled and said, "I grew up, got married and had children in Yihe Village for most of my life. Now that they are gone, it can be considered that they have returned to their roots."

"to make."

Li Chengyang nodded: "Has a date been set?"

"Three days later."

It was too hot, so Cao Jianjun didn't want to release too much.

Besides, the sooner the old man's funeral is arranged, the sooner his daughter-in-law can recover from her emotional distress; he dared not delay too long.

"Okay, I've got it."

Li Chengyang nodded seriously: "You should spend time with your family at Green Vine. As for other things, Dajiang and I will take care of them. Don't worry about anything else."

Cao Jianjun didn't say anything, but slowly blinked as he watched Li Chengyang and Dajiang leave.

The temperature in the morgue was too low, and it wasn't good to stay there for too long, so Cao Jianjun coaxed his wife until they finally left the morgue.

Li Chengyang also took care of the accommodation issue.

After booking a suite at the Hilton Hotel near the Municipal Bureau and having breakfast, Cao Jianjun returned to the hotel with his wife and sister-in-law.

She could manage on her own, but Zhou Hui had been on the road the whole way and was overwhelmed with grief. If she didn't rest soon, the baby in her womb would be in danger.

The three of them got out of the car at the hotel entrance and took the elevator upstairs from the hotel lobby.

but.

No one noticed that right outside the hotel, in the driver's seat of a white Jinbei van, on the roadside.

The car window rolled down, and a man with a full beard and wearing a baseball cap stared intently at the departing figures of Cao Jianjun and his two companions.

The man was over middle-aged and chewing gum.

Using the hotel's observation elevator, the man watched with his own eyes which floor Cao Jianjun and his two companions left from before turning his gaze away.

He spat out the chewing gum with a "pfft" and casually closed the car window.

Then, he took out the hotel cleaning uniform from the back seat of the car, changed into it quickly, put on a mask, and then got out of the car.

Carrying a mop and bucket in one hand and pushing a cleaning cart in the other, I walked step by step into the plaza in front of the hotel.

for all this.

Unbeknownst to Cao Jianjun, after arriving at room 180 of the hotel suite, Zhou Hui and Zhou Cong took a shower together.

With their parents-in-law dead, no one brought up the sisters' past grievances and conflicts anymore.

From occasional conversations at the beginning to gradually increasing the amount of chatting, Cao Jianjun became much happier.

As long as the two sisters reconcile, Zhou Hui will not feel lonely, and she will not experience depression during her subsequent pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period.

Although Cao Jianjun is her husband, there are some family ties that he cannot replace.

While the two sisters were taking a shower, Cao Jianjun couldn't hold on any longer. He lay down on the sofa and fell asleep in less than five minutes.

When Zhou Hui and her sister Zhou Cong came out after taking a shower, the living room was already filled with loud snoring.

"Huihui, let Jianjun go back to his room to sleep... He hasn't slept much these past two days."

Zhou Cong, dressed appropriately in his pajamas, turned around and prepared to go to his second bedroom.

"Sister, it's okay."

Zhou Hui shook her head and pointed to the air conditioner blanket in the second bedroom, saying, "Go and get that blanket and cover him with it. Once Jianjun wakes up, he won't be able to fall back asleep..."

"Is this okay?"

Zhou Cong was a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, go get it..."

Ding-dong! Ding-dong—

Before Zhou Hui could finish speaking, the doorbell rang outside, and the two sisters couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Huihui, who is it?"

"I don't know, I'll go check..."

Zhou Hui shook her head blankly, wrapped a bath towel around her wet hair, slipped on her slippers, and walked step by step toward the door on the carpet.

77. When the tracheotomy was performed, the blood was still steaming. [4 chapters, please add more]

"Who?"

As Zhou Hui approached the door, she shouted a question at the top of her lungs.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong—

No one spoke, but they rang the doorbell twice more.

"Who?"

Zhou Hui frowned in confusion, stretched her body, and looked out through the peephole.

In the distorted image, a man in a cleaning uniform, wearing a baseball cap, is standing outside the door with his head down, repeatedly pressing the doorbell with one hand.

"We don't need to clean..."

Zhou Hui didn't think much of it. After seeing that it was a cleaning staff member, she said loudly, "We just checked in, and the room has already been cleaned."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to come back.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong—
