My Endless Life

In the hospital, the painful sobs of patients and the cries of relatives could be heard.

Meng An, who was only nine years old, stood in front of the morgue, silently looking at Zhang Fengyun's body that had been repaired.

Behind him, Liu Cheng was talking to policewoman Hu Yushi. Liu Cheng stared at Meng An's back seriously and asked Hu Yushi:

"Have you ever seen such a calm child?"

"What?"

"I'm talking about Meng An. After he learned that his only relative passed away, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just stood here quietly, as if... he didn't have any emotions."

Meng An's calmness gave Liu Cheng an unusual feeling. He couldn't explain what it was, but he just felt a special sense of disobedience.

Years of experience as a criminal police officer told him that this kid, Meng An, was not simple.

But for a child who is only nine years old, even if it is not simple, how can it not be simple?

"Maybe it's because I'm too sad..."

The policewoman didn't know what to say. After all, the little boy named Meng An was indeed too calm.

Under normal circumstances, children of his age should cry loudly after learning that a relative has died.

Even if he doesn't understand the meaning of death, he can still understand that his loved ones have left him forever.

Moreover, Meng An's parents also died in a car accident. He must be able to understand the concept of death. It is not normal for his only relative to leave him like this without shedding a single tear.

It's just that Meng An didn't look like a cold-blooded person, otherwise he wouldn't have stood in front of grandma's body for several hours.

"Let me go see him."

Liu Cheng raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, preparing to talk to 'Meng An'.

But unexpectedly, before he could take action, Meng An had already turned around and walked towards him.

"Grandma, how did she die?"

Meng An asked calmly, which made Liu Cheng feel that he was not facing a child, but an adult.

Because of this, Liu Cheng subconsciously did not hide anything and said bluntly:

"Ms. Zhang Fengyun died when she was hit by a truck that ran a red light while crossing the sidewalk."

“Has the truck driver been caught?”

"…not yet."

When the other party asked about this, Liu Cheng felt even more ashamed: "The truck was a fake truck, and the information about the owner of the truck was false. The driver who hit people fled immediately after hitting Ms. Zhang. We were in the city afterwards. The car was found outside, but the driver was missing.”

"So, this was a premeditated murder."

Li Qi said lightly.

Liu Cheng remained silent. Although it seemed like this so far, the question was what did Zhang Fengyun do to make people choose to murder her in this way?

Seeing his silence, Li Qi waited quietly for a while, and then asked, "Grandma, did she leave anything behind?"

"The only thing she had in her bag was her mobile phone, and her mobile phone had been shattered by the impact. The other items... were nothing particularly useful."

Liu Cheng didn't know why, but he answered whatever the other party asked.

After answering Li Qi's question, Liu Chengcai suddenly asked: "...What are you going to do?"

"What?"

"Ms. Zhang has no other relatives, and you are only nine years old and need a guardian."

This is indeed the problem.

Li Qi is too young. According to the law, he must have a guardian. Otherwise, he will be transferred to a nearby orphanage for care.

As for the property left by Zhang Fengyun, it will be preserved by the civil administration, and all of it will be returned to Li Qi when he reaches adulthood.

Therefore, if Li Qi cannot find a suitable guardian during this period, he will go to an orphanage.

Thinking about these questions, Li Qi took a deep breath and turned to Liu Cheng:

"Officer Liu, how is the situation at your home?"

"Me? I'm the only one in my family...wait, you want me to raise you?"

Liu Cheng quickly understood Li Qi's thoughts and expressed surprise.

With his status, it would not be difficult to adopt a child, but the problem was that Liu Cheng and Li Qi were not familiar with each other at all, so why did Li Qi want Liu Cheng to adopt him?

Li Qi did not explain. After confirming that Liu Cheng was alone, he turned to say:

"Officer Liu, please accompany me home later. I have to go back and pack my things."

There are still three spiritual seeds left, and Li Qi plans to give one to Liu Cheng, and then ask Liu Cheng to go back to school to apply for suspension of study for Li Qi, so that he can take back the two seeds from the principal and dean.

Li Qi had no intention of taking back Wang He's spiritual seed, mainly because he knew too much and his memory in this area was not easy to delete.

In fact, Li Qi also thought about letting Wang He raise him.

But Wang He has his own family, and Li Qi has too many secrets, so he is not suitable to live in a crowded family.

It’s impossible to have one spiritual seed per person then, right?

That would be somewhat of a waste.

…

Asking Liu Cheng to follow him home, Li Qi naturally implanted the spiritual seeds into Liu Cheng's mind on the way.

He did not change Liu Cheng's thoughts. The role of the spiritual seeds was only to change Liu Cheng's understanding of Li Qi.

No matter what Li Qi does in the future, Liu Cheng will take it for granted, will not be surprised by what Li Qi does, and will treat Li Qi as the closest person.

Wang He was like this, so he followed Li Qiyan's advice.

After returning home, Li Qi looked at the home where he had only lived for a few days, his eyes were complicated and he let out a sigh.

Because he didn't have many memories from the past, his feelings for Zhang Fengyun were not as strong as he imagined.

But even so, when he learned that Zhang Fengyun had died, he also felt the discomfort of losing his relatives one after another.

And after learning that Zhang Fengyun's death was not an accident, this discomfort turned into anger.

He could accept that Zhang Fengyun died in an accident and at the end of his life, but he couldn't bear that his relatives in this life were deliberately killed.

Li Qi wanted to find the murderer of Zhang Fengyun, but the problem now was that he didn't even know why Zhang Fengyun was murdered. Such a carefully planned murder was definitely not a temporary act, but Zhang Fengyun had definitely offended someone.

But a high school teacher has survived safely for so many years. Why did something happen in the past few days?

Is there anything special happening these days?

Li Qi could think of two things. The first was to recover his past life memories, and the second was the times when the sun disappeared.

Among the two possibilities, Li Qi felt that Zhang Fengyun's death was unlikely to be the first possibility.

If it is really because Li Qi regained his memory that someone caused trouble for Zhang Fengyun, then they should also go to trouble Li Qi at the same time.

Besides, only he knew that Li Qi had recovered his past life memories. Even if they were both undead, they could only confirm each other's identities if they were very close.

The first possibility can be ruled out, so what is the second possibility?

But the second possibility is even more absurd.

What does the coming of darkness have to do with a retired high school teacher?

Li Qi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to come back and check Zhang Fengyun's belongings to see if there would be any useful clues left in her belongings.

It would be best to find something like Zhang Fengyun's diary, which might contain relevant clues.

"Officer Liu, as a police officer, from your perspective, why was grandma murdered?"

After entering the room, Li Qi asked Liu Cheng, who was already one of his own.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said:

"There are many possibilities. For example, Ms. Zhang has offended someone in the past, or Ms. Zhang knows something she shouldn't know. It is even possible that someone simply dislikes her and wants her to die."

"Isn't it something you shouldn't know..."

Li Qi recalled his contact with Zhang Fengyun.

In his impression, Zhang Fengyun was just that kind of ordinary old lady, with nothing special about her. She was kind, kind, and quite tolerant of Li Qi, which made Li Qi have a good impression of her.

Is it possible that such a person will offend some people, or may he know something but hide it in his heart without revealing anything?

"Grandma, has she been anywhere else in the past few days?"

Li Qi asked again.

Liu Chengdao: "After confirming that Ms. Zhang was designed to be murdered, we started to investigate. Ms. Zhang's movements in the past few days were very ordinary, including the vegetable market, home and home. She has not been to any high-end places, and there is no snooping. to some secret possibilities.”

"Is this so..."

Li Qi didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and looked around the living room.

Because the home is not big, there is only a large living room and a bedroom, so Zhang Fengyun usually sleeps on the sofa bed in the living room.

Just pull out the sofa against the wall and it can become a large bed.

Zhang Fengyun's personal belongings are all in the wardrobe beside the sofa and bed.

Li Qi opened the closet and pulled out the drawers inside. One of the drawers was filled with miscellaneous items, while the other locked drawer was opened by Li Qi using his lockpicking skills and found to be filled with documents.

Teacher's certificate, retirement certificate, Li Qi's parents' identity certificate, death certificate, household register, driver's license... and so on.

Li Qi took the trouble to rummage through the contents one by one, but did not notice anything suspicious.

"It seems that grandma doesn't have the habit of keeping a diary..."

Li Qi sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.

Zhang Fengyun didn't have the habit of keeping a diary, and she didn't leave anything like notes around her.

There is an older phone book, which existed when landlines were still very popular. There are many telephone numbers recorded in it, but most of them are landlines.

Now that landlines are gradually disappearing from people's sight, these phones are useless.

There are rare mobile phone numbers, and after so many years, it is unlikely that they can be called. Besides, looking at the age of the phone book, it seems that Zhang Fengyun has not used this phone book for a long time.

This phone book doesn't seem to be a clue.

However, looking at the dense number of phone calls on it, Li Qi put it away for the time being, planning to write down the numbers on it when he had time and call them one by one to see if he could find anything.

Li Qi investigated the wardrobe, while Liu Cheng's eyes were on the trash can at home.

He rummaged through the trash can that had not been cleaned and found something in it:

"Xiao An, come here and take a look!"

Liu Cheng dug out the trash can and found a broken mobile phone.

Li Qi came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Cheng looked serious: "This is a satellite phone."

"!"

Satellite phone?

Li Qi looked at the exquisite and compact mobile phone. It was different from the satellite mobile phones in his impression. He remembered that he had seen satellite mobile phones in movies, which were all big bricks similar to old-fashioned Big Brother phones.

But the satellite phone in front of me is exquisite and compact, just like the antique button phone from the past.

Of course this is not the point. The point is why Zhang Fengyun has a satellite phone.
