Chapter 274 Huiying Bookstore has your full agency
At the entrance of Huiying Book City, a burst of urgent sirens broke the originally quiet air. The sound came from far away and passed through people's hearts like a sharp whistle.
Soon, a police car slowly drove into the parking space next to the bookstore. The police officers were dressed in neat uniforms, and every wrinkle on the uniform seemed to speak of discipline and majesty;
They walked in neat and steady steps, with solemn expressions, like messengers carrying out a sacred mission, and entered the dormitory building of Huiying Book City.
Zhang Zhekun led the police officers to the door of Teacher Gu's dormitory with a serious expression, and saw Jiang Chengyu standing beside Mu Xiaoji like a sculpture.
Mu Xiaoji was kneeling on the ground, his body shaking constantly, and his crying was heartbreaking, as if he wanted to vent all his sorrow, which made people cry.
Luo Jinxi walked quickly while putting on gloves neatly, her eyes focused and calm. She was preparing to collect evidence carefully.
As soon as she reached the door, her eyes fell on Jiang Chengyu. In an instant, a look of surprise and astonishment appeared on her face, and she blurted out: "Chengyu, you woke up? What's wrong with Xiaojita?"
Jiang Chengyu raised his head slightly and responded softly: "Huiying Bookstore is an industry founded by Xiaoji after he graduated from junior high school. It carries too much of his hard work.
Over the years, the Red Star Welfare Home has been funded by Huiying Bookstore. Did you know that even Xiaoji's college tuition was supported by the income of this bookstore?
Teacher Gu is not only his enlightenment teacher, but also the manager who helps Xiaoji run the bookstore. So for Xiaoji, Teacher Gu is like his father, with great love.
Teacher Gu means a lot in his life because she has always supported and cared for him on his path to growth.
Now that Teacher Gu has passed away suddenly, little guitar…” His voice was a little choked up, his eyes full of regret.
After hearing this, Luo Jinxi leaned over and stretched out his hand to hold Mu Xiaoji's arm, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoji, please accept my condolences. We have to go through the routine work now, please go out first."
Jiang Chengyu looked at Mu Xiaoji and said softly, "Jinxi, let me do it!"
As he spoke, Jiang Chengyu reached out and gently held Mu Xiaoji's shoulders, and said in a voice as gentle as the spring breeze: "Xiaoji, let's go out! Teacher Gu has been an upright person all his life, he wouldn't want to see you like this.
Let the police collect evidence and conduct a thorough investigation now. We want to make sure that Teacher Gu leaves with a clear conscience."
With the support of Jiang Chengyu, Mu Xiaoji walked out of the dormitory slowly and unsteadily, as if he had lost his soul, and then went straight towards the office.
The backs of the two of them looked so desolate in the corridor, as if they had been abandoned by the whole world.
At the dormitory door, Zhang Zhekun was holding a notebook, looking sharply at the person in front of him, and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Qin Shuyue." A slightly trembling voice answered.
"How did you find out that Teacher Gu passed away?" Zhang Zhekun asked immediately.
"Teacher Gu every day..." Qin Shuyue's voice was filled with endless sadness. She was still describing the scene when she found Teacher Gu, but Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu did not stop and were getting farther and farther away from her.
The voice echoed in the corridor, but as the distance increased, each syllable was diluted, like a candle in the wind, gradually becoming weaker, and finally swallowed up by the silence around it, disappearing into the air, and the two people who were walking away could no longer hear her subsequent words.
Jiang Chengyu gently pushed open the office door and carefully arranged for Mu Xiaoji to sit on the sofa. He was about to turn around and pour Mu Xiaoji a cup of hot water to ease his grief.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji seemed to have suddenly grabbed the last straw of life. He grabbed Jiang Chengyu's hand, and then hugged Jiang Chengyu's waist tightly like a helpless child, buried his face in his arms, and cried like rain.
He kept mumbling, "Why? Why? The people closest to me are leaving me. I don't want them to leave me, Teacher Gu..."
Jiang Chengyu felt a pain in his heart when he saw Mu Xiaoji like this. He didn't know how to comfort him with words. He just hugged him silently, gradually increasing the strength of his hands, hoping that this hug could bring some comfort to Mu Xiaoji's broken heart.
Time passed quietly like the gurgling of water, and Jiang Chengyu just stayed quietly by Mu Xiaoji's side, like a steady mountain, giving Mu Xiaoji silent support.
Mu Xiaoji lowered his head, still in a low mood, holding a cup of hot water in both hands. The hot steam from the water blurred his face, but his eyes, which were red and swollen like walnuts, could still be seen, and the sadness in his eyes seemed like a tide that would never stop.
At this moment, the police officers were carrying a stretcher, on which Teacher Gu's body was covered tightly with a white sheet. The white color was particularly dazzling in this slightly dim environment, like the cold embrace of death.
They carefully carried the stretcher onto the police car, and every movement was full of respect for the deceased.
After Zhang Zhekun and the police officers completed the evidence collection in the dormitory, everything was in order. They packed up and left, and their orderly footsteps echoed in the silent corridor, carrying a solemn feeling of completing the mission.
Qin Shuyue brought Luo Jinxi to the office. As soon as they walked into the door, they saw Mu Xiaoji's depressed look.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu stood up nervously, his eyes full of worry, and asked softly, "How is Jinxi?"
Luo Jinxi pursed his lips and said solemnly: "There is nothing unusual in the evidence collected in the dormitory, but Teacher Gu's condition needs to be taken back to the police station for further autopsy. I will notify you as soon as the report comes out."
Jiang Chengyu nodded silently after hearing this. Luo Jinxi took a step closer to Jiang Chengyu and asked with concern in his eyes: "When did you wake up? Don't you feel any discomfort in your body now?"
Jiang Chengyu answered honestly: "I just woke up. I feel a little weak after lying down for too long. Nothing else!"
Luo Jinxi said with concern: "You still have to pay attention to rest and eat more nutritious meals. It's already past eight o'clock. I'll order some takeout for you. You must eat breakfast." As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at her watch.
Jiang Chengyu hurriedly said nervously: "Jinxi, you don't need it. You should hurry up and deal with Teacher Gu's affairs! I will go to the kitchen to make breakfast. There is a kitchen here."
Luo Jinxi also became nervous when he heard this and said, "You are still a patient. Don't always think of yourself as Iron Man, as if nothing can overwhelm you."
At this time, Mu Xiaoji said softly: "Jinxi, don't be nervous, we will go back to Jinyang Villa and wait for your news.
My mom should have made breakfast, we will go back and eat. I will not ignore the little monster again this time. "
Luo Jinxi looked at Mu Xiaoji and saw that he was sad but still calm, so he did not argue anymore.
Mu Xiaoji then arranged: "Qin Shuyue, you will be the sole agent of Huiying Bookstore from now on; Teacher Gu recommended you repeatedly during his lifetime, and I believe in Teacher Gu's arrangements. Let's go back first."
Qin Shuyue nodded with a professional look on her face, "Yes, President Mu."
Jiang Chengyu reached out and gently held Mu Xiaoji's hand, and the two of them and Luo Jinxi slowly walked out of Huiying Bookstore. They stood at the entrance of the bookstore, watching Luo Jinxi walk towards the police car, and then got in.
Soon, the sirens sounded, the sound was sacred and solemn, resounding through the sky, as if it was a requiem for Teacher Gu. The police car roared away, leaving only a trail of smoke and dust that gradually dissipated in the air.
