At that time, Lu Yiwei was still working in the government office. Her father knew that Lu Yiwei graduated from Xijiang University, so he tried to find Lu Yiwei. After hearing that, Lu Yiwei actively worked for him and found his former teacher, Cai Runnian, a professor in the Chinese Department of Xijiang University.
At that time, the university professors all had one or two entry quotas in their hands. Cai Runnian's favorite disciple came to him for help. Without hesitation, Cai Runnian gave the quota to Lu Yiwei. Zhang Wei successfully entered Xijiang University.
Zhang Lefei wanted to thank Lu Yiwei with a lot of money, but Lu Yiwei refused. He just said, "Secretary Zhang, I don't want anything else from you. It's just a piece of cake."
Seeing that Lu Yiwei insisted, Zhang Lefei patted his chest and promised, "Brother Lu, I, Zhang Lefei, owe you a favor today. If you need me in the future, just tell me. I promise to do my best." Lu Yiwei remembered this sentence, but Zhang Lefei forgot it.
When Lu Yiwei was excluded, as a colleague of Liu Kecheng, Zhang Lefei could have said a few good words, but he did not. On the contrary, he helped Liu Kecheng to clean up the remnants of Chu Yunchi and demoted Lu Yiwei to Beihe Town. After that, the two were like strangers and did not remember the promise of that year.
Lu Yiwei did not expect Zhang Lefei to help him until Niu Fuyong had an accident. Lu Yiwei begged Zhang Lefei, but Zhang Lefei's indifferent attitude made Lu Yiwei very disappointed. Now his daughter suddenly looked for him and wanted to talk about her father. What was it? Lu Yiwei did not know.
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Zhiyuan had given him a key. He quickly found the key in his wallet and had an idea. He picked up his phone and made a call, asking, "Where shall we meet?"
"Let's stay at my house. There's no one at home. My mom went to my brother's house," Zhang Wei said calmly.
Lu Yiwei didn't bother to clean up the table. He grabbed the car keys on the coffee table, took off his coat, and quickly went downstairs, heading straight to Zhang Lefei's house.
When they arrived at the door of Zhang Lefei's house, Lu Yiwei did not have the courage to go down. Although he was an atheist, although Zhang Lefei's death had nothing to do with him, thinking of Zhang Lefei's voice and smile, he could not help but shiver.
Lu Yiwei sat on the steering wheel and thought for a long time. Finally, he decided to go in. He carefully drove the car everywhere, stopped on the main road, covered the license plate, pulled up the collar of his trench coat, and shuttled through the darkness of the night.
When he arrived at the door, Lu Yiwei looked left and right. After making sure there was no one, he reached out to knock on the door. He found that the door was not closed, so he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Zhang Wei heard the door open and walked out of the room. She smiled at Lu Yiwei, lifted the curtain and said, "Brother Yiwei, come in."
Lu Yiwei responded with a bitter smile and walked in. He came to Zhang Lefei's house five or six years ago. Now it had changed a lot. There was a big color TV, leather sofa, wooden floor, goldfish tank, and the decoration was extremely exquisite. But when Zhang Lefei left, the house suddenly lost its liveliness. No matter how good the decoration was, it still had a gloomy feeling.
Zhang Wei closed the door and walked in. She said to Lu Yiwei, "Brother Yiwei, what tea do you want?"
Lu Yiwei looked at Zhang Wei and shook his head. "Don't bother, I don't want to drink anything."
Zhang Wei ignored Lu Yiwei and made a cup of tea for him. She handed it to Lu Yiwei with both hands.
Lu Yiwei took the water, thanked her, and put it on the coffee table. He looked around and shivered.
The woman was meticulous. She picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the air conditioner. "After my father passed away, we didn't have a boiler in our house. It's a little cold. Just make do with it."
Lu Yiwei nodded slightly. "It's okay, I'm not cold!" At this time, Lu Yiwei took a closer look at Zhang Wei with the light. She had double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and waist-length black hair. She looked elegant and had a European and American style. She was wearing a maroon undershirt and looked a little old. Her sleeves were also covered with a black veil for her father's mourning.
Their eyes suddenly met. Lu Yiwei quickly looked away and fixed his eyes on Zhang Lefei's portrait.
Zhang Wei stood up and picked up her father's portrait. She gently wiped it with her sleeve and said proudly, "This is the most handsome portrait of my father. This was taken when he won the second-class merit. Look at how bright his smile was."
Lu Yiwei could not bear to look at Zhang Lefei directly. It was as if Zhang Lefei had been looking at him. He moved his butt and said, "Zhang Wei, what's the matter? Just say it."
Zhang Wei put down the portrait and walked over. She forced a smile and said, "Brother Yiwei, so many years have passed, and I haven't thanked you in person. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to go to Xijiang University, and I wouldn't be here today."
Lu Yiwei said, "What are you thanking me for? It's been so many years. I've long forgotten about it. It's nothing."
Zhang Wei suddenly said, "Why didn't you attend Su Meng's wedding?"
"Ah!" Lu Yiwei opened his mouth in surprise and stammered, "You, you know Su Meng?"
Zhang Wei hugged the pillow and said, "Su Meng was my college classmate. Of course I know her. Although we weren't in the same class, we had a good relationship. I know your story. I also attended her wedding, but I didn't see you. "
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Lu Yiwei carefully recalled that the two of them had entered the university at about the same time. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Can I not answer this question?"
Zhang Wei smiled lightly and said, "Well, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about my father. You see, since my father passed away, this family was no longer a family. There was no human presence at all. I personally experienced what it means to break up a family. Because of my father's death, my mother had a serious cardiovascular disease. My brother brought her to the capital for treatment. That's how the family broke up. As for me, when my father passed his fourth or seventh birthday, I will leave this place. Perhaps I will never return. " When Zhang Wei spoke, she was exceptionally calm, without a trace of emotion. It could be seen how strong her heart was.
Lu Yiwei did not speak and listened to Zhang Wei. She said, "You said that my father was a corrupt official. I can't deny that. He did go further and further down this path. He couldn't stop himself. You said that my father was a murderer. I don't agree with that. Do you have any evidence? How can you be so sure that my father killed him and not someone else? He was a leading cadre, not to mention he came from a police background. How could he not understand the law? I can't accept it. I can't accept it. " Zhang Wei became emotional. She was so emotional that her body began to tremble. Veins appeared on her face, and her voice was trembling.
Lu Yiwei stopped Zhang Wei and said, "Zhang Wei, I know that you are sad about your father's death. However, I didn't cause it. It was determined by the special task force after investigation."
"Sorry, I was too emotional. I'm not talking about you!" Zhang Wei touched her chest and calmed herself down.
Zhang Wei continued, "Yes, even if there was a murder case on my father, it hasn't entered the judicial process. If he was to be killed, it would be through the court and the country would execute him. Why? Why did he die unjustly in the detention center? Is he sure that it was suicide? No, I don't believe that he committed suicide! "
Regarding Zhang Lefei's death, Lu Yiwei suspected it more than once. However, he couldn't jump to conclusions without evidence. He said, "Your father did commit suicide. This superior forensic identification center has conducted a professional appraisal. He committed suicide by biting his tongue. Although you have doubts, in the face of the facts, it's still weak. "
"No!" Zhang Wei stood up agitatedly and said, "My father definitely didn't commit suicide. He was killed by someone. Does biting his tongue mean that he committed suicide? Was there no interference from others when he was dying? "
This sentence reminded Lu Yiwei why he didn't think of this. Zhang Lefei cherished his life so much. How could he choose to commit suicide? Could it be that someone really went to see him when he was dying? If there was, who was that person?
Zhang Wei saw that Lu Yiwei was thinking along with her thoughts. She continued, "Brother Yiwei, after my father passed away, I looked for his former friends and even my own relatives, but no one was willing to see me. Hmph! This is the hypocrisy of the world. When my father was alive, those people followed him around in circles. Once people left, they couldn't wait to hide far away. Even during the funeral, there were only a few people. I don't have any friends in Nanyang, so I thought of you. " Then she suddenly knelt in front of Lu Yiwei, grabbed Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "Brother Yiwei, only you can help me now. I beg you, for my father's sake, help me. As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to do anything." After saying that, she put Lu Yiwei's hand on her chest.
"Don't do this!" Lu Yiwei quickly pulled his hand out and said, "Zhang Wei, don't humiliate yourself like this. If you have something to say, we can talk it out. As long as I can help you, I will." Seeing Zhang Wei's pitiful look, Lu Yiwei was moved.
When Zhang Wei heard that Lu Yiwei had agreed to help her, her tears flowed like the sea. She climbed onto Lu Yiwei's body and cried.
Lu Yiwei did not know how to comfort her with his hand hanging in the air. He stroked her head and said, "Zhang Wei, don't cry. Sit up and talk."
Being cared for, Zhang Wei hugged Lu Yiwei and cried even harder.
Lu Yiwei sat there awkwardly. His mind was blank. He did not know how to deal with this situation. After crying for a while, Zhang Wei also realized that her actions were a bit extreme. She sat aside and wiped her tears with a tissue. "I'm sorry!"
After Zhang Wei calmed down, Lu Yiwei handed her a cup of water and said, "Drink some water. Don't be too sad."
After drinking a cup of water, Zhang Wei squeezed out a bitter smile and said, "Sorry for making a fool of myself."
Seeing Zhang Wei like this, Lu Yiwei did not feel good in his heart. Even if Zhang Lefei had committed a heinous crime, in the face of kinship, it was nothing.
