Chapter 898 Arsenic
Chapter 898 ·Arsenic
Apart from this, she didn't know what else she could do for her brother.
Wu Jie couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only stay with him and burn paper.
The neighbors said a few words of comfort, and soon they left cleanly. Only Shang Junzhuo, Bai Rongxuan and Wu Jie were left in the yard, which became even more desolate.
Shang Junzhuo said to Bai Rongxuan, "I'll go out and ask about cremation, you two are waiting at home."
Bai Rongxuan nodded and said thank you for your hard work.
Shang Junzhuo hurried out. When she came back, the sky was already dark. Bai Rongxuan and Wu Jie came up together. Shang Junzhuo said, "It has been decided. The funeral will be cremated in three days. You must be mentally prepared."
Seeing that she was panting and sweating profusely, Bai Rongxuan quickly asked Wu Jie to move a stool, sat down with Shang Junzhuo to rest, and then told Wu Jie to go and pour water.
Shang Junzhuo smiled and said, "I'm not thirsty, don't be busy."
Bai Rongxuan was worried.
She was still pregnant, and she didn't know whether it was appropriate to run around like this. However, Bai Rongxuan and Wu Jie were not familiar with Nanjing City. Even if they wanted to do something by themselves, they couldn't even figure out the way. In the end, they still had to trouble Shang Junzhuo.
Bai Rongxuan was very ashamed.
Shang Junzhuo was more concerned about her situation, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Then take medicine later, but you must not fall ill at this time."
Bai Rongxuan nodded, "I'm fine, where are you?"
Shang Junzhuo said, "Don't worry, I have been running around since I was a child, and I have experienced it often when I was working harder than this. Taking these few steps is nothing to me."
Wu Jie poured out the water.
Although Shang Junzhuo was not thirsty, he still took it politely. She and Bai Rongxuan discussed the cremation of Bai Xiu's body. Bai Rongxuan said, "If conditions permit, I naturally want to bring my brother's body back home, so that my mother can take a look at it. However, Nanjing is too far from Hangzhou, and cremation is probably the only way to work."
She thought of her previous life, and her uncle also brought back her brother's ashes.
Shang Junzhuo sighed softly, "There are no people anymore. What's the difference between not looking at that glance, it will only make people feel even more uncomfortable. It's better not to look at it anymore. The dust returns to the dust and the soil, and we will always have to let go."
Bai Rongxuan was silent and had a sad expression.
Shang Junzhuo felt extremely uncomfortable when he looked at the black wooden coffin. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly and didn't say anything. That night, Bai Rongxuan insisted on keeping her soul for her brother, but she didn't say that her body was not good at all, even when she was not sick, she would definitely not be able to hold on for a whole night. Wu Jie said he disagreed with anything and pushed her back into the room.
Shang Junzhuo also said, "You have come all the way, your brother has a spirit in heaven, so he will definitely be very grateful to you. As for keeping the spirit, there is no need to force it. If it is aggravated by this matter, your brother may not feel sorry for it when he knows it. Even if you want to make him rest in peace, you shouldn't fall ill in front of his spirit."
Bai Rongxuan stopped insisting and lay down after taking the medicine.
The next morning, Shang Junzhuo prepared some breakfast briefly, and the three of them sat in the yard in a daze after eating.
Bai Rongxuan looked at her brother's spirit shed, and couldn't tell what it felt. It seemed that something important was cut off, and now she was left with nothing but lost. She thought of her uncle who brought Tang Xueqi to Nanjing to collect her brother's bones in her previous life. What was she feeling at that time?
Bai Rongxuan asked Shang Junzhuo about the trivial matters about his brother during his lifetime.
Shang Junzhuo slowly started to tell the story. When he heard the two of them going out to sea together, Bai Rongxuan could no longer control it and said in shock, "My brother actually went out of the sea?"
"Yes!" Whenever Shang Junzhuo recalled the scene at that time, he couldn't help but smile, "He hid on the boat early. When I found out, the boat had sailed for a long distance. Even if I wanted to drive him down, we encountered a storm and a pirate on the boat. The scene was so thrilling that I probably wouldn't forget it in my life."
Is this the brother I know?
Or... I have never really understood him?
Bai Rongxuan was full of doubts and listened to Shang Junzhuo's continued to tell.
It was only when I recalled that the pirates appeared in the small boat, a sound of slapping the door sounded outside the door. Wu Jie, who was listening with relish, hurriedly got up and ran to open the door. Unexpectedly, the person standing outside the door was actually from the police station.
He was stunned and didn't know how to greet him.
There were five people coming, and the clever confidant of the police chief, who was the head of him. He smiled politely and said to Wu Jie, "Let's explain the case to the family of the deceased, and I don't know if it has been disturbed?"
Wu Jie quickly invited someone in.
Seeing this, Bai Rongxuan and Shang Junzhuo stood up together.
The confidant's subordinate smiled kindly, and his tone was very peaceful, and he was cautiously pleased. "If it weren't for being dragged down by the war, the case would have been a long time ago. It has been clear that the cause of death was arsenic poisoning, but now there are messes everywhere in the city and the pharmacy shops are not open. It would be difficult to investigate further. If you have clues, it would be better. We can also solve the case quickly and give the deceased a fair."
When Bai Rongxuan heard the four words "arsenic poisoning", she trembled.
My brother's death is indeed not simple...
But who was going to take such a heavy hand to harm him?
Could it be that my brother really offended someone and made some grudges?
The visitor from the police station said some comforting words on the scene, but anyone could hear that the person was dead now, and many clues were interrupted. It would be difficult to investigate further. They even pretended to go to Bai Xiuzhi's spirit to sing two sticks of incense before saying goodbye to leave.
Shang Junzhuo said calmly, "Zeng Shaoquan's face is still great. If it were normal, who would have invited them to come to the house in person?" She reminded Bai Rongxuan, "If you have the chance in the future, remember to thank Mr. Guan. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we'll be worried about being opposite the house."
In the future?
Bai Rongxuan felt a trance.
She didn't have any chance to see Guan Bozhou again! The fate between the two probably ended here, and there would be no more intersection.
What's more, what she cares most about now is not how to thank Guan Bozhou, but the cause of her brother's death.
She muttered to Shang Junzhuo, "The only thing I can think of now is Meng Fansheng and the manager of the Bai family. But I can't figure out what reason these two people have to harm my brother?"
Shang Junzhuo smiled slightly and said, "I was there at that time, don't you doubt me at all?"
Bai Rongxuan was stunned, "How could it be? If I don't believe you, how could I stay with you?"
Shang Junzhuo said, "Since Xiuzhi passed away, I have been thinking about these things these days. I have had some interactions with Guangzeng. Although I dare not say that I know him very well, I never think that he can do such things no matter how I think about it. But the manager of the Bai family made me think about it and still felt something was wrong. No matter the timing or actions of him, it made people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the relationship between the second and third bedrooms of the Bai family is very delicate. Xiuzhi's death is good for the second bedroom. I don't know if I judge a gentleman with a careful heart."
Bai Rongxuan's eyes lit up a little, "I haven't doubted this way? It's just that there is no figure in charge of the matter now, and it's impossible to confront each other and investigate."
Wu Jie said curiously, "If Mr. Meng didn't do anything bad, why would he run away again?"
