The name of the deceased person He Qingqing said was Shi Lei.

Shi Lei is dead!

After being stunned for a while, Qiao Liang reacted and said in shock: "Shi Lei, how could he......"

Qiao Liang would never have thought that something happened suddenly in Shi Lei, and he could not accept this reality for the time being.

"I don't know either. I called him in the evening, but he didn't answer. I just called him another one. This time the call was his brother. He told me that Shi Lei was dead." He Qingqing said in a crying voice.

"How could this happen? Isn't Shi Lei still fine during the day?" Qiao Liang's head was very chaotic for a moment. There were too many things happening today. Qiao Liang is still confused now. The key point is

It was during the day that he had seen Shi Lei, and the other party was still a living person who was jumping around. However, He Qingqing called him to tell him that Shi Lei was dead, and Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, even if

He and Shi Lei were not very familiar with him, but when he heard such news, he was also full of shock at this moment.

"I don't know what's going on. The sound of his brother was very loud. He just told me that Shi Lei was dead, and then hung up the phone in a hurry." He Qingqing's voice was hissing

I was almost crying, "County Magistrate Qiao, I...I think I'm going to Shi Lei's hometown in the countryside now. Can you be with me..."

Qiao Liang heard He Qingqing say before that although Shi Lei’s parents had a house in the city, they often lived in their hometown in the countryside.

"Okay, where are you now? I'll pick you up, let's leave now." Qiao Liang knew that He Qingqing, a woman, was unsafe to drive to the countryside at night. Last night

The experience of meeting a wolf is still vivid in my mind, and Qiao Liang is not relieved that He Qingqing drives to the countryside alone at night.

He Qingqing was in the county courtyard now. After hearing this, Qiao Liang asked He Qingqing to wait in place and then drove back.

At the gate of the county courtyard, Qiao Liang received He Qingqing who had already walked out of the door and waited, and immediately drove to the countryside and pastoral area.

Through the dim light in the car, Qiao Liang saw that He Qingqing's eyes were red. Qiao Liang didn't know how to comfort the other party at this time. He knew that Shi Lei and He Qingqing were

Xiao, the two have a deep friendship. Shi Lei suddenly dies, and you can imagine the blow to He Qingqing.

After leaving the city, there were fewer cars on the road, and Qiao Liang gradually accelerated his speed and headed to the countryside and pastoral areas. There was a section of the way through the Gobi beach, and there was no one in the desert.

It is still a bit dangerous to open the night road. While it is not too late, Qiao Liang hopes to drive faster and pass that section of the road as soon as possible.

"County Magistrate Qiao, there is no need to drive so fast. It's not a short while before. It's dangerous to drive the night, and safety is the best." He Qingqing said with red eyes.

"It's okay. It's late at night, there are no cars on the road. The road conditions are better on this section. It's okay to drive faster." Qiao Liang said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Liang's cell phone on the center console of the car rang again. Qiao Liang glanced down the cable meter and said that it was Ma Yuanxiang who called it, so Qiao Liang picked it up.

"Qiao... Qiao Liang, are you convenient now? I... I stew some nourishing soup and want to send it to you." On the other end of the phone, Ma Yuanxiang was a little nervous.

I am still not used to calling Qiao Liang's name, so I stutter.

"Thank you, but I'm not in the county now and I probably won't come back tonight. You should drink this soup yourself." Qiao Liang said.

"Oh, okay then." Ma Yuanxiang said a little disappointed.

After saying a few words to Ma Yuanxiang, Qiao Liang hurriedly hung up the phone. He was not at the time of his mind to pay attention to the difference between Ma Yuanxiang and usual.

He Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, quietly said nothing. If she were usually a joke, she would have joked about which beauty was going to give Qiao Liang soup, but now, He Qingqing is sad.

It was filled with injuries and was not in the mood to gossip.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Qiao Liang and He Qingqing finally arrived at Shi Lei's hometown in the pastoral area. Shi Lei's hometown is a small two-story brick building, although the decoration is very ordinary.

, but in the pastoral area, such family conditions are already very good. At this moment, Shi Lei's home is full of people, all of them are neighbors, and Shi Lei's relatives and friends

Friends, after hearing Shi Lei’s death, came to help with the funeral.

When He Qingqing and Qiao Liang entered the house, they heard the crying sound from the inner room. It was Shi Lei's parents. When he walked here, He Qingqing's steps became weak and he almost collapsed. Qiao

Liang hurriedly supported the other party.

"Director He, be stronger. We cannot cause trouble for Shi Lei's family at this time." Qiao Liang said softly to He Qingqing.

He Qingqing nodded when she heard this, bit her lip and told herself to be strong.

"Uncle and Auntie." He Qingqing walked over to Shi Lei's parents.

"Xiaoqing, Leizi..." Shi Lei's mother swallowed and couldn't speak when she saw He Qingqing.

"Auntie, Shi Lei is gone. You and Uncle should take care of your health..." He Qingqing couldn't help it at this moment and tears came down.

He Qingqing talked to Shi Lei's parents, and Qiao Liang walked to the bedside, and Shi Lei's body was placed on it.

Qiao Liang looked at Shi Lei's body and his eyebrows tightly frowned. He saw that there were bumpy scars everywhere on Shi Lei's body, and there was a blood hole on his head, and there was a vague blood stain. The body must have been wiped, and the blood stains on it had been wiped clean. Only some blood stains were seen. The scene in front of him made Qiao Liang deeply

Deeply confused.

He walked to He Qingqing's side without hesitation. Qiao Liang touched He Qingqing's arm and nodded to Shi Lei's body.

He Qingqing didn't understand at first, so she walked to Shi Lei's body and took a look. He Qingqing was stunned for a moment, suppressing the sadness in her heart. He Qingqing turned to look at Shi Lei's father.

Mother: "Uncle and Auntie, Shi Lei is this..."

"Leizi fell off a cliff." Shi Lei's mother cried and her eyes were red, "I pity my Leizi, I fell all over her body without any good."

Qiao Liang felt confused when he heard this and couldn't help asking: "How could Shi Lei fall off the cliff? He is an adult and not a child, too

Isn’t it because I’m not saying I’m walking accidentally, is there any other hidden information here?”

"The people in the institute have just arrived. They said that Shi Lei accidentally fell and stepped on a rock that collapsed and fell down." Shi Lei's father replied, as a man

, He was still strong and did not cry, but his tears were flowing uncontrollably. "When someone was discovered, our Leizi was no longer angry."

Qiao Liang nodded when he heard that the police station had made a conclusion, and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room was a little stuffy, so Qiao Liang turned around and walked out.

There was a chaotic noise in the yard outside. Some of the villagers who came to help with the funeral had already gathered together to play cards.

Qiao Liang walked to the car outside alone and sat down, thinking about Shi Lei's sudden accidental death. No matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

The night in the northwest was very cold. Although Qiao Liang was in the car at this time, he still felt a wave of coldness, and this coldness filled his heart.

Qiao Liang looked at the deep night sky outside the car and frowned and pondered. At this moment, his heart was extremely uneasy.

A living life disappeared like this, which made Qiao Liang feel sad and uneasy.

The sound of opening the door of the "splash" interrupted Qiao Liang's thoughts, and He Qingqing opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Is Shi Lei's parents in good mood?" Qiao Liang asked casually.

"How good can you be? I'll raise such a big son, and it's gone. And Shi Lei is their favorite youngest son, and he is also the most promising one. Now suddenly, he's very happy.

They died, and it was difficult for the two old men to accept it." He Qingqing wiped her tears.

"Oh, the dead are gone, and the living can only be strong." Qiao Liang sighed.

He Qingqing nodded and said sadly: "Fortunately, Shi Lei is not their only son, otherwise the two elders would really be..."

He Qingqing said sadly that she still found it difficult for her to accept this result, and she didn't believe that Shi Lei suddenly died.

"Director He, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." Qiao Liang took out a cigarette and lit it.

"What are County Magistrate Qiao suspicious?" He Qingqing turned to look at Qiao Liang.

"I can't say it either. I just think it's strange. Maybe it's unacceptable for a while. After all, when I saw Shi Lei during the day, I was fine, but it suddenly happened at night

However, it was too sudden to say that the person was gone." Qiao Liang took a breath of cigarette.

"It's too sudden, I can't believe it until now." He Qingqing's tears flowed down again.

"Director He, go inside and ask, see who knows where Shi Lei died, and take us over and see." After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang suddenly said.

"Ah?" He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang in surprise, "County Magistrate Qiao, it's so late now, do you want to go to the place where the incident happened?"

"Well, I want to go over and take a look." Qiao Liang nodded.

"Okay, I'll go in and ask." He Qingqing nodded.

He Qingqing went in for about seven or eight minutes, and soon, he brought a middle-aged man out. Qiao Liang looked at the other party a few times and found that the other party was somewhat similar to Shi Lei.

"County Magistrate Qiao, he is Shi Lei's brother, and he is willing to take us to the scene to see it." He Qingqing said.

"Okay, please trouble you. It's so late, I have to work hard for you to travel." Qiao Liang thanked.

"It's okay, it's not troublesome." Shi Lei's brother shook his head and got in the car. He didn't say a word except to guide the way, his expression was a little dull.

The car drove along the dirt road in the township for about twenty minutes and then arrived at a small cliff. Because the car couldn't get on, Shi Lei's brother took Qiao Liang and He Qingqing to walk up.

It was a mountain, and it was hard to walk on the road at night, so many people turned on the small flashlight of their mobile phones.

It took another ten minutes to climb up the small cliff. Shi Lei's brother pointed to a place and said, "It's this."

Hearing this, Qiao Liang walked to the place where he fell off the cliff and looked down, holding a small flashlight and illuminated it. The height here was not very high, but if a person fell down, it was true.

It's really awful, especially when Qiao Liang saw that there were all large and small stones distributed underneath. When a person fell down, he would just hit a stone on his head, which was basically a matter of sex.

My life is worrying, but there is nothing nearby. Why is Shi Lei coming here?

"When is the specific time when something happened to Shi Lei?" Qiao Liang turned to look at Shi Lei's brother.

"That's not clear. When Lei Zi was discovered, it was almost six o'clock. At that time, he was out of anger. When we arrived, Lei Zi's body was all

It's dead, so he doesn't have to fall off at that time, it should be early." Shi Lei's brother replied.

Qiao Liang nodded and asked again, "Why is Shi Lei here for?"

"No one knows this, only Leizi himself knows it, but now he has..." Shi Lei's brother's voice was sad and trying to control his emotions.

"Director He, what do you think?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing and asked.

"I... my mind is still messy now, I don't know." He Qingqing shook her head.

Qiao Liang frowned, and he became more and more confused. There was nothing on this small cliff. Why did Shi Lei come here? Did he come up alone, or did someone else go up together.

Come? Or, who is he here to meet?
