"Uh …" Bo Yubing hesitated and muttered to herself.
The security captain asked in a playful tone, "County Head Bu, please give us a chance. Not only did we come here to surrender ourselves, but we also asked the crematorium to send people to dig up your sister … No … I mean … to bring her back to the county. Consider our meritorious deeds, please forgive us. Besides, you just promised President Hu that you would forgive us. "
Bo Yubing was even angrier when she didn't hear this. She said with a cold face, "You still have the nerve to say that you brought my sister back to the county? You were the one who buried her there, so you should be responsible for bringing her back. " After saying this, she thought of how her sister was casually buried in a deep ravine without a coffin and had to face the gnawing of insects. She couldn't help but feel sad and tears fell from her eyes. Soon, her face was covered with tears.
Li Rui saw that her crying was too unsightly, so he said to Hu Dayong, "You go back first and let this security guard stay. He will take us to the crematorium later. Whether or not County Head Bu will punish you and how to punish you, we'll talk about it later. But don't think that you can take this opportunity to escape. You can't escape. You have to seriously repent when you go back. Take care of yourself. "
Hu Dayong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We don't dare. We definitely don't dare to escape. Please don't worry about this. If we wanted to escape, we wouldn't have surrendered ourselves."
Li Rui waved his hand and motioned for him to leave quickly.
Hu Dayong didn't say anything else, so he left the office with the security captain. One of them went back to the Royale Hotel, while the other stayed in the corridor outside, waiting for Li Rui's summons.
"My mind is in a mess right now. Can you help me? How should I deal with these things?"
When only Li Rui was left in the room, Bo Yubing asked him for help with tears in her eyes.
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "We'll talk about Qiu Jianbo later. Let's talk about the county first. As for Captain Zheng, I'll give him a call now and tell him that the case has been solved so that they don't have to investigate anymore. Yuxue … I suggest that we cremate her directly in the county. Don't send her to Jingnan as it's inauspicious. Discuss the funeral with your family and try to keep it simple and low-profile. After all … after all, it's not a good thing. You still have to contact your parents to report the funeral. As for the rest, there's nothing else.
Bo Yubing cried, "No, we can't just cremate Yuxue. I … I still want to see her. My parents probably want to see her one last time too. Boohoo …"
Li Ruixin said solemnly, "Of course. When Yuxue is taken to the county crematorium, we will go and see her. Let the security guard outside bring us there … Oh, right, he and Hu Dayong, what are you going to do with them? Did you really promise Hu Dayong to forgive them? "
Bo Yubing wiped her tears and said, "Just now, he suddenly ran over to me and took the initiative to confess. Before he confessed, he first negotiated with me. He said that he knew Yuxue's whereabouts and was willing to tell me. However, he also committed some small sins and asked me to forgive him. I was anxious to know Yuxue's whereabouts, so I promised him. Now that I think about it, he only helped to hide Yuxue's body and didn't commit any big sins. It's not impossible to forgive him. What do you think? "
Li Rui said, "Since you've already said so, it's not good to say anything else. Just give him a chance to turn over a new leaf."
After the two finished discussing, Li Rui took out his phone and called Zheng Wei. He told him that the real murderer and Bo Yuxue had been found and that the case didn't need to be investigated anymore.
Bo Yubing interrupted while he was on the phone, "Tell Captain Zheng not to close the case. Immediately lead the team to Jingnan and arrest Qiu Jianbo."
Li Rui was stunned. He covered the phone and whispered to her, "Have you thought it through? Are you going to arrest him? "
Bo Yubing nodded heavily and said with gritted teeth, "This animal is worse than a beast. If we don't arrest him, what are we waiting for?"
Li Rui conveyed her message to Zheng Wei. Bo Yubing waited until he was almost done, then she snatched the phone and told Zheng Wei Qiu Jianbo's company and home address so that they could catch Qiu Jianbo as soon as possible.
After this phone call, it was Bo Yubing's turn to call her parents to report the death. She held the phone and hesitated for a long time before she made the painful decision and dialed. Li Rui couldn't bear to listen and hid out of the office.
The captain of the security team who was waiting outside saw him come out and quickly said, "The county magistrate's sister has been dug out and cleaned up. She's on her way back to the county town."
Li Rui looked coldly at the captain of the security team. This guy was as cunning as Hu Dayong. When the task force didn't find any clues, they thought that they had nothing to worry about and leisurely played dumb. However, when there was a major development in the case, they knew that they couldn't take it anymore and immediately came to confess. It seemed that their sins weren't as serious as Qiu Jianbo's, but in fact, they were as hateful as Qiu Jianbo. He said, "Let me tell you, the sins that you and Hu Dayong committed in this case are no less than the murderer, Qiu Jianbo. You have to perform well and try to get the county magistrate's forgiveness. Also, you better be an honest person in the future. If you dare to commit any crimes, I won't let you off! "
The captain of the security team hunched his back and lowered his head. He had an extremely humble and pitiful smile on his face and nodded to Li Rui like a grandson. "I won't dare, I won't dare to do it again. I'll be an honest person in the future and won't dare to do such things again. If I do such things again, you don't have to say it, I'll beat myself to death! "
Li Rui said, "Listen to this news. When it's sent to the crematorium and funeral parlor, inform me immediately."
The captain of the security team said, "Okay, don't worry. I estimate that it'll be done in half an hour."
Li Rui thought that he would see Bo Yuxue's dead body in a while and sighed in his heart. After waiting for a while, he estimated that Bo Yubing should have finished her phone call. He pushed the door open and went back into the house. When he entered the house, he saw Bo Yubing holding her phone and crying silently. He hurried forward to pass her a tissue and comforted her with words. It took him a long time to persuade her to stop crying.
"My parents and Yuxue's husband will be here soon. Don't cremate her before they arrive."
Bo Yubing said weakly. Her eyes were red and swollen like peaches. The beautiful county magistrate in the past had become a disheveled middle-aged woman.
Li Rui nodded and said, "Of course. No matter what, we have to let them see Yuxue for the last time." After saying that, he thought to himself that the weather wasn't too hot. The temperature in the mountains was lower. Bo Yuxue's body shouldn't rot after being buried in the ground for a few days, right? As long as the body was intact and could be seen, there was no need to cremate her.
After another ten minutes, there was a knock on the door. Then the captain of the security team shouted, "County Magistrate Li has arrived. You can go now."
Li Rui looked at Bo Yubing. Bo Yubing nodded slightly and said with trembling lips, "Let's go." Then she walked towards the door.
Li Rui saw her walking out empty-handed. He hurriedly took her handbag from the table and put the box of tissue into the bag. He carried it and chased after her.
The three of them went downstairs and walked to the gate of the courtyard. They stopped a taxi and rushed to the crematorium. The county crematorium was located three miles away from the northeastern outskirts of the county. It wasn't far, and the towering chimney could be seen as soon as one exited the city. Walking along a bumpy cement road for a while, one would reach the crematorium. There was a dense forest on three sides. There wasn't a single person in sight. It was deep and quiet. There seemed to be a cold and unlucky smell in the air. It was easy to feel uncomfortable.
The taxi drove directly to the west gate of the crematorium under the guidance of the captain of the security team. The west gate led directly to the funeral parlor and the crematorium. The captain of the security team rushed to pay the fare. After getting out of the car, he led the way through the west gate.
Inside the west gate was the backyard of the crematorium. It was paved with cement bricks. The ground was clean and there were flowerbeds and shrubs. The environment was not bad. On the left side of the gate, there were two simple sheds made of colored steel plates. There were some messy things inside. They didn't know what was inside. In front of the gate, there was a place for burning paper money, paper figurines, carriages, horses, and houses. There was also a burning pool built with bricks. On the right side was the funeral parlor and the crematorium. The tall chimney was behind the crematorium.
The captain of the security team saw a funeral car parked in front of the funeral parlor. There was a familiar figure smoking under the car. He ran forward and greeted, "Er Pang!"
That person turned around and recognized the captain. He handed him a cigarette and said, "You're here …"
The two of them got together and whispered for a while. The captain of the security team nodded and ran back to Li Rui and Bo Yubing. He said, "That … she … has been carried inside. Come with me."
The three of them walked quickly. Soon, they arrived at the funeral parlor. However, they found that it was only one room. There were two worn-out tables against the wall. There was also yellow paper and paper money on the ground. Other than that, there was nothing else. Bo Yuxue's body was not there. It didn't look like a funeral parlor at all.
Li Rui pointed at the empty room and asked the captain of the security team in disbelief, "This is a funeral parlor?"
The captain of the security team explained, "The funeral parlor in the county can't be compared to the one in the city. It's not as luxurious as shown on TV. It's good enough to have a place for burning incense and kowtowing."
Bo Yubing asked with a cold face, "Didn't you say my sister was inside? Where is she?"
The captain of the security team pointed to a large sliding door in the depths and said, "She's parked inside." After that, he went forward and opened the sliding door. He waved his hand and invited the two of them in.
