chasing the dark

Chapter 231 The Memorial Service

"Except for the necessary etiquette, I didn't look at her more." The warm breath immediately poured into the ears, and the man beside him tilted his head, his forehead almost touching hers.

Jiang Yu tilted his elbows slightly and pushed the person away: "Keep a distance, don't forget what we are here for."

A pun is a reminder to pay attention to the current occasion and not to be too intimate.Again, don't get too close to other women.

Ye Zhanzhou looked sideways at her, pressed the corners of his lips, but couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes: "I can only promise half of it."

Seeing that the little girl didn't understand, he continued to whisper, "With others, you don't need to ask. With you...it's impossible."

Jiang Yu looked away from his face, and squeezed out the words "glib" from between his teeth.

Her expression seemed to be calm, but the blushing ears did not escape Ye Zhanzhou's eyes.

While the two were talking in a low voice, a few more people came in, one of them was Ke Jianyuan, the vice president of Yuhua Road and Bridge Group.

Next to him was a man slightly older than him, with dark skin, a tall and straight figure, and a fast pace when walking.Each of them was followed by an elderly woman who seemed to be their wife.

"Liu Yuzhen, the boss of Yuhua." Ye Zhanzhou said in a very low voice.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Jiang Yu would have guessed it.

When they walked towards Gu Zhenghua's uncle and nephew, Ke Jianyuan kept half a step behind the man, obviously putting himself in a subordinate position.

To make such an arrogant and domineering person do this, except for his eldest brother, I am afraid it will not be anyone else.

Ke Jianyuan also saw them, and after a brief conversation with the bereaved family, he whispered something in Liu Yuzhen's ear, and walked towards them.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Ke again so soon." Ye Zhanzhou took the initiative to say hello.

"I have to come to Lao Gu's memorial service. It's the two of you..." Ke Jianyuan looked at the two of them and lowered his voice, "Isn't it because I want to take this opportunity to find the murderer?"

"How did Mr. Ke know that the murderer would be here?" Ye Zhanzhou asked without answering.

Ke Jianyuan was startled, and then smiled: "I'll just say it casually, after all, you are the police officers handling the case, not relatives and friends of the Gu family."

"We are here by invitation." Ye Zhanzhou raised his wrist to look at the time, "There are still ten minutes to start, Mr. Ke, are you interested in going out for a cigarette?"

Ke Jianyuan was addicted to cigarettes. Hearing what he said, of course he would not refuse. Chao Jiangyu nodded slightly, and left the farewell hall with Ye Zhanzhou one after the other.

It wasn't until the mourning sounded that Ye Zhanzhou returned to Jiang Yu's side, and together with everyone else, turned their attention to the side door under the huge banner.

Several men in black suits pushed in the crystal ice coffin surrounded by flowers and placed it in the center of the hall.

Accompanied by mourning, the master of ceremonies announced the official start of the memorial service.

There were too many people who came to express their condolences, and the farewell link around the body was replaced by a collective silence, so the whole ceremony did not last too long, and it ended almost at noon.

Under the special arrangement, the mourners left in an orderly manner, and Gu Wantong, whose eyes were red from crying, took advantage of Gu Zhenghua's chatter with others, and walked from the place of the survivor to Ye Zhanzhou: "Officer Ye, thank you for coming to my dad's memorial service. "

She specially reminded her second uncle to invite the person in charge of the case, but she didn't expect Jiang Yu to follow along, so she simply ignored the existence of this little policewoman.

"You don't need to be so polite." Ye Zhanzhou sighed, "It's just a pity that the murderer was not brought to justice before here. But it won't be long before the truth will come to light."

"I know you've tried your best." Gu Wantong pulled the corners of her lips reluctantly, "Officer Ye, I went to the detention center yesterday to see my little mother, but they wouldn't let me see her. Is she okay now?"

"According to the regulations, family members are not allowed to meet before the trial." Ye Zhanzhou said, "Qi Meier is used to being pampered, so she will definitely not adapt inside."

"Can I be released on bail pending trial?" Gu Wantong asked.

"You want to help her get bail?" Ye Zhanzhou was a little surprised.

Gu Wantong nodded: "Anyway, she is also my stepmother, and she has been kind to me these years. No matter what she did, at least within my ability, I want her to suffer less."

"You can submit a written application first, and then follow the process. If you are afraid that you will not understand, you can ask a lawyer to do it."

Ye Zhanzhou tilted his head towards Jiang Yu, but Gu Wantong frowned slightly: "Can you help me?"

Her eyes were already red, but they were pleading again, making her look even more pitiful.

"It's not a question of whether it's okay or not." Ye Zhanzhou shrugged his shoulders, "I can tell you the application process, but I can't do it for you, and I'm very busy..."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait for you."

Jiao Chen's tone sounded ambiguous, Jiang Yu said coldly: "Didn't you want your little mother to suffer less? Why are you not in a hurry?"

"You..." Gu Wantong was so choked that he didn't know what to say. You spent a long time without saying anything.

Ye Zhanzhou broke the deadlock with his words: "Miss Gu, I still suggest that you hire a lawyer for Qi Meier, not only for the convenience of obtaining bail, but also for going to court in the future."

"Speaking of which, I'm a little puzzled." He paused, then asked, "The Gu Corporation has its own legal team, why didn't it arrange a lawyer for Qi Meier?"

"I don't know." Gu Wantong shook his head, "I've never been involved in the company's affairs. I really don't know if there is a legal team. I'll ask my second uncle later."

She suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Officer Ye, I heard that a secretary from the president's office was taken away yesterday?"

Ye Zhanzhou said: "Yes, his name is Lin Shuo, that young man who was in Mr. Gu's office the day before yesterday."

"Oh, it's him." Gu Wantong nodded slightly, and asked again, "Did he poison you?"

"No, but he is an insider."

Seeing that he did not hide anything, Gu Wantong continued to ask: "What did he say?"

"I'm rushing to attend Mr. Gu's memorial service. I'll hand it over to my colleagues for interrogation." Ye Zhanzhou said firmly, "Miss Gu, don't worry, that kid is not a firm-willed person, and he will explain soon. of."

At this moment, Gu Zhenghua came over: "The guest has already gone to the hotel, the two police officers should also go together."

According to Mingyang's custom, there is a funeral banquet after the memorial service.In the past, the banquet was held at one's own home, but now it is often held in a restaurant.

There are several star-rated hotels under the Gu family, and the largest banquet hall has been prepared early to entertain the guests who came to express their condolences today.

"Mr. Gu, you came just in time." Ye Zhanzhou said, "We were just talking about hiring a lawyer for Qi Meier, what do you think?"

"Lawyer?" Gu Zhenghua was slightly stunned, looked at Gu Wantong before saying, "Accordingly, that woman is also a member of the Gu family, at least for now."

After all, Gu Zhengqing had just died, and Qi Meier hadn't remarried yet.No matter how much Gu Zhenghua hated her, for Gu's sake, he should arrange for a lawyer to defend her.
