Chapter 6 Burying Father
In the dormitory, only Li Yang was thinking alone. For some reason, there were two more tears on Li Yang's face. Maybe he didn't even notice it. He didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a while, Li Yang came back to his senses and felt the tears on his face. He put down the letter in his hand and walked to the balcony to wash his face with cold water.
It happened that at this time, someone knocked on Li Yang's dormitory door...
After washing his face, Li Yang adjusted his mood, put away the gift box, and then went to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw several people standing at the door. One of them was Li Yang's counselor, there were two policemen in police uniforms, and a person who seemed to be in plainclothes.
"Li Yang, you happen to be here. These are comrades from the Chaoyang District Police Station. They want to inform you about something!" Li Yang's counselor told Li Yang in a slightly sympathetic tone. Maybe he knew something.
"Ah! Oh, okay, teacher, why don't you come in and tell me?" Li Yang now looked a little at a loss because he had just learned about his father's suicide.
At this time, the person who was not wearing a police uniform said, "That's fine. Let's talk in the dormitory." As he said this, he took the lead and walked into the dormitory. He looked at Li Yang as he entered the door.
The plainclothes man walked through the door and sat down on Li Yang's stool unceremoniously. When they all entered the dormitory, Li Yang closed the dormitory door and stood opposite the plainclothes man who was sitting there.
Seeing that the sitting plainclothes man did not speak, he instead took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket and pretended to smoke. At this time, Li Yang, who was standing, spoke and said in a serious tone, "Sorry, this is a dormitory, we can't smoke."
smokes!"
"Okay~_~, then I won't smoke anymore, Teacher He, let's get started." The plainclothes sitting man said to Li Yang's counselor.
The counselor nodded, and then said to Li Yang, "Li Yang, there is something you need to know, and I can't hide it from you. The police comrades came to the school to find you because they want to tell you about the death of your father."
At this time, Li Yang was shocked and said incredulously: "Teacher He, you said my father passed away? He was fine before. He called me last Wednesday and advised me to study sociology.
Well, why did he die just a few days ago?"
"By the way, teacher, you said it was the police who came to see me, but that doesn't mean my father didn't die in a normal way, right? Someone killed him, right? Teacher He." Li Yang's words were already mixed with emotion.
He burst into tears, and his counselor couldn't bear to see Li Yang so sad, so he hugged Li Yang and comforted him.
The policemen, as if they were used to such scenes, did not bother to comfort Li Yang.
After waiting for a while, the sitting policeman spoke again. He said, "Are you done feeling sad? Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Qiang, a criminal police officer. Yesterday, our branch received a report from your father's work unit, saying that your father committed suicide."
, so we went to the scene to investigate. After identification by the expert team and the elimination of suspicion, we now officially inform you, Li Yang, that your father Li Ziyan committed suicide in his laboratory at 1 a.m. yesterday, and there is surveillance video to prove it, ruling out homicide."
Shi Qiang paused, looked at Li Yang, and then said, "However, he left a final letter before committing suicide. The general content of the letter was that his years of research were hopeless and he could not see the hope of research, so he committed suicide.
, this is the reason why your father committed suicide. So, now we will take you to the funeral home to claim your father's body and inherit all of your father's inheritance, do you understand?"
Li Yang, who was supported by the counselor, looked up at Shi Qiang and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The counselor couldn't bear to see Li Yang like this. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He could only say, "Li Yang, your father has passed away. As a man, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of your family. You first
Go deal with things at home, I'll help you with the leave note and so on, don't worry, ah, kid."
Li Yang looked at the counselor. Although he had not communicated with her since his rebirth, it was not difficult to tell from her words that she was a gentle and kind person.
There is no shortage of good people in this society. Although there are some evil people and bad people, we cannot deny everyone because there are always some people who are worth protecting.
So Li Yang looked at them and said, "Thank you, Teacher He, and thank you police officers. Then I will pack my things first, and then I will go to the funeral parlor with you to see my father."
After hearing Li Yang's words, Shi Qiang stood up and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you downstairs in the dormitory. Try to hurry up." After that, he led other police officers and walked out of Li Yang's dormitory.
The counselor wanted to say something, but was afraid of hurting the child again who had just experienced the pain of losing his father, so he said nothing more. He just patted Li Yang on the shoulder and walked out.
When the counselor walked out of the dormitory, Li Yang sat on a stool and covered his face with his hands. At this time, he was thinking about what to do next.
"I originally wanted to wait for a while before contacting Yang Dong, but I didn't expect that my father was dead. Moreover, due to Tomoko's interference, he committed suicide when there was no hope of progress in research.
It has to be said that in The Three-Body Problem, Liu Diangong did not write about the character Li Yang at all, and Li Yang did not appear at all, which means that there is a high probability that Li Yang could not withstand the blow and eventually became an ordinary person.
What about me, if I live my life again, will I be an ordinary person in the future? Can I change the future? Can I change the destiny of mankind?
well……
I don’t want to think about it anymore. After my father is buried, I will make a detailed plan on what to do next.”
Thinking of this, Li Yang started to pack his things. In fact, there were not many things. He only took two pieces of clothes, toiletries, and a wallet. It was enough for a backpack.
Before leaving, Li Yang wrote a note and placed it on Yan Chong's desk. The content was to ask for leave if you have something to do, and don't worry about yourself.
After doing this, Li Yang walked down the dormitory building with his backpack on his back. When he went downstairs, he saw Shi Qiang alone waiting for him by the car.
"Where are the others? Why are you alone?" Li Yang asked Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang looked at this little kid who seemed to him to have no hair, and said, "They still have something to do, so let's go first. Get in the car first, and I will take you directly to the funeral parlor, and then help you bury your father. By the way,
I will take you to the notary office to inherit the inheritance."
After Li Yang got into the passenger seat, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you helping me? Are you serving the people?"
When Shi Qiang, who was fastening his seat belt, heard this, he smiled and said, "Serving the people is our purpose, but ordinary matters such as the burial of suicides are not my responsibility. As for taking you to do things, it's because of your father."
The scientific research unit and a physicist called the branch and asked me to help you because you are still young." While speaking, Shi Qiang started the car and set off towards the funeral parlor.
The two occasionally communicated with each other on the road, which was limited to Shi Qiang's questions and Li Yang's answers. Even though Li Yang wanted to ask Shi Qiang about Yang Dong and his father's suicide, because Li Yang's current identity was that his father committed suicide and he was the only one left behind.
He is an orphan, so in this state, Li Yang cannot be too active.
Due to traffic jam, about an hour and a half later, the car drove to the western suburbs of Beizhixing, where there is a funeral home called Paradise Funeral Home.
After the two got out of the car, they cremated the body of Li Yang's father, Li Ziyan, in accordance with relevant procedures. During the entire process, Li Yang only signed.
After the corpse was sparkled and the ashes were packed into boxes, Shi Qiang drove to the cemetery with the ashes of Li Yang and Li Yang's father. Tombstones and other things were all prepared in advance when he notified Li Yang.
The next step was the burial without any ceremony, which was also the request in the suicide note of Li Yang's father Li Ziyan.
When everything was over, it was almost two o'clock in the morning. Looking at Li Yang who collapsed in front of his father's tombstone, Shi Qiang said in what he thought was a tactful tone, "Let's go. I'll take you to the hotel and stay for one night. I'll handle the will and inheritance tomorrow."
, and then you can go back to school."
Li Yang looked at Shi Qiang, looked at his father's tombstone, stood up silently, and walked towards Shi Qiang's car.
Looking at the slightly lonely figure under the moonlight, Shi Qiang felt a little uncomfortable, but that was all, and then walked to his car.
