Another half a month passed, and almost all the evidence related to Guan Jian was obtained, except for Mrs. Guan's ashes, which were hidden by Guan Jian.

No matter how hard the task force searched, they couldn't find it. They even visited all the major cemeteries in and outside the capital, but still couldn't find it.

So Xu Shuheng interrogated Guan Jian again: "Guan Jian, where did you hide your mother, Madam Guan's ashes?"

Guan Jian didn't say anything. This was the most precious and important thing to her.

"Guan Jian, don't you want your mother to rest in peace? Is hiding it like this considered filial piety?"

Guan Jian remained silent and unmoved. No matter how Xu Shuheng asked, Guan Jian pretended not to hear.

The case of Guan Jian could be closed with just one last piece of evidence, but it was this one piece that had the entire task force scratching their heads.

That day, Xu Shuheng brought Fang Yuan, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to the Lu family's old house to play with Gu Shanzhi, trying to let the two of them spend more time together so that Fang Yuan could regain his memory as soon as possible.

He went to the study with Lu Xun, and Chu Jingxiu also came. Mrs. Lu happened to call Chu Jingxiu over today, saying that a little sister's daughter came back from abroad and wanted to introduce her to Chu Jingxiu, so Mrs. Lu tricked Chu Jingxiu to come to the old house.

The three of them were in the study, and Xu Shuheng said, "Where do you think Guan Jian would put Madam Guan's ashes? Our people have been looking for it for a long time but can't find it."

Chu Jingxiu asked: "Have you searched all the cemeteries and her home?"

"I searched everywhere, and all I could find in powder form was either milk powder or flour."

Lu Xun asked, "Is it possible that Guan Jian has been refusing to give in because she is sure that you will not be able to find her. In this case, it is very likely that Madam Guan's ashes are no longer in the country, or that they are not in powder form."

Chu Jingxiu asked in confusion: "Ashes, if they are not ashes, they can also be bones? She wouldn't be so perverted as to leave behind the skeleton of her own mother, right?"

Chu Jingxiu imagined Guan Jian hugging Madam Guan's skeleton while sleeping at night. It was so horrifying that the hairs on his back stood up.

"It's definitely impossible to have a skeleton. It's much harder to hide than a box of ashes." Xu Shuheng was sure that there was no bone-like object appearing in any place related to Guan Jian.

The three of them had no idea what to do and could only take one step at a time.

During dinner, Mrs. Lu said to Chu Jingxiu excitedly, "Xiao Xiu, let me tell you, my friend's daughter is really outstanding. She graduated from college two years ago and started her own business abroad. Now she has opened a company in Country Y and is doing quite well. She is also good-looking, has high emotional intelligence, and a good figure. If her parents hadn't insisted that she return to China to get married, she wouldn't have come back. Do you want to meet her? She's really good."

At this time, Lu Xun said something to spoil the mood: "Mom, you used to say the same thing about Guan Jian."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu was immediately unhappy: "What nonsense are you talking about? The girl this time is really excellent."

"Okay, pretend I didn't say that."

Chu Jingxiu was so obsessed with the enthusiastic Mrs. Lu that he could only agree to meet her.

After getting Chu Jingxiu's consent, Mrs. Lu happily contacted the girl's parents, which also allowed Mrs. Lu to find a job that interested her, which really made Chu Jingxiu feel wronged.

Lu Xun felt extremely sympathetic towards Chu Jingxiu.

That night, Lu Xun told Gu Shanzhi about Mrs. Guan's ashes. Gu Shanzhi became curious when she heard that Guan Jian had hidden them so well that the police couldn't find them even after a thorough search.

But before she could think clearly, Lu Xun pulled her into bed again and did something weird with her.

Little Lu Shiming was sleeping in a crib far away. Originally, the crib was next to the double bed, but Lu Xun was worried that the light bulb would affect his happy life, so he moved the crib to the farthest place from the double bed in the bedroom.

Gu Shanzhi was also worried that her son would hear something he shouldn't hear, so she endured it the whole time. When she really couldn't help it, she made a mosquito-like sound. However, she didn't expect that this would make Lu Xun even more unable to stop.

The next day, Gu Shanzhi dragged his weak legs to Jinghua University.

The set of textbooks she edited before she became pregnant had already been revised and could start printing after the final review. It would then be used as a pilot in the northern city for a year, and after a year, based on the results, it would be promoted to other cities.

Beicheng is the first city in China to carry out comprehensive teaching of traditional Chinese medicine. Once the news came out, it attracted many people to settle down and study in Beicheng.

Gu Shanzhi, Qin Sheng, Teacher Zhang and other teachers sat in front of these textbooks, reviewing them page by page and word by word, and checking whether the pictures were accurate, whether the related animated pictures were inappropriate for students of that grade, etc.

Gu Shanzhi had been busy for a week and was dizzy. On this day, the review of all teaching materials was completed, and everyone happily said they wanted to have a meal to celebrate.

Gu Shanzhi immediately offered to treat everyone and asked them to eat as much as they wanted. She also contacted the best hotel under Lu’s group in advance and reserved the largest private room.

When the group arrived at the hotel, the lackey Zheng Fan was already waiting for the proprietress.

"Madam boss, you are here. Let's see what you want to eat. The chef of this hotel is very good at cooking, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, and also has all kinds of dim sum and desserts."

"Teachers, take a look and order whatever you like. This is a hotel owned by my husband. Please feel free to eat whatever you want. We can afford it."

The wealthy lady Gu.

"Hahaha, then we won't be polite." The other teachers also knew that Gu Shanzhi's husband was the richest man in Beijing, so naturally they wouldn't be polite.

During the meal, Gu Shanzhi asked Qin Sheng: "Master, if you were given a choice, where would you place the ashes of the person most important to you?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Qin Sheng was curious.

"I just suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to see how everyone hides things." Gu Shanzhi said with a laugh.

Teacher Zhang heard this question and said, "If it is the most important person, then of course we should find the best cemetery, with the best feng shui and surrounded by green mountains and clear water."

"The cemetery is not among the options. Is there anything else?" Gu Shanzhi simply let go and asked the teachers.

Most people choose to place their bodies in cemeteries, or in the sea, while others choose to bury them under trees.

Qin Sheng’s choice was also to bury it.

Gu Shanzhi thought for a long time, and then went home and said to Lu Xun, "Husband, I asked several teachers today where they would place the ashes of the most important person if they could choose. In addition to the cemetery, many people chose to bury it."

"Are you saying that Guan Jian might have buried his mother's ashes in a place that none of us noticed?"
