C3 Funeral

Zhao Chuchu didn't sleep well this night.

Last night, she and Lu Hsinggui quarreled at the police station. In the end, the police invited them out.

When the two of them went to the police station yesterday, they were in Lu Hsinggui's car. In the end, they just came out of the police station. He said that he would find evidence, then got in the car and left, leaving her alone.

Zhao Chuchu turned over and rubbed her temples.

Zhao Chuchu was really sad about Lu Hsingnuan's murder.

Lu Hsingnuan was two years younger than her and was a cheerful girl who liked lively activities. Her figure was well-proportioned. She was especially satisfied with her feet. She was actively paying attention to the foot model competition held by the various provinces and cities, but her family was very strict with her. She had never had the chance to participate personally. She finally mustered her courage and begged her to organize a plan to fly to A City, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen to her.

The murderer hiding in A City was so cruel that he actually chopped off Lu Hsingnuan's legs.

Wait!

Zhao Chuchu flipped over and sat up from the bed.

Why did the murderer cut off Lu Hsingnuan's legs? Was it because he knew that she cared about her legs the most, or was this the symbol of the murderer?

Zhao Chuchu thought of this and quickly took out her phone to call Lu Hsinggui.

This phone number was saved by Lu Hsinggui himself when he suspected her, saying that he wanted to monitor Zhao Chuchu at all times.

"Hello, Lu Hsinggui, let me tell you." Zhao Chuchu's words stopped abruptly. On the other end of the phone, it was not his questioning tone, but the sound of music. Her eyes turned red and she took a deep breath to suppress the sound of her nose before continuing, "Are you holding a funeral for Lu Hsingnuan?"

Lu Hsinggui did not want to talk more with Zhao Chuchu and did not answer. He only asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Lu Hsingnuan is going to the foot model competition this time." Zhao Chuchu was in a trance for a moment, "But yesterday's autopsy said that her legs were chopped off. Perhaps this person is related to the foot model competition this time."

"Zhao Chuchu." Lu Hsinggui took a deep breath and said, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Why is this nonsense?" Zhao Chuchu became anxious. "Don't you think it is very suspicious? Why did the murderer cut off Lu Hsingnuan's legs?"

"The one who said Nuan had a boyfriend was you, and the one who said Nuan went to the foot model competition was also you. Zhao Chuchu, is this your new excuse?"

Zhao Chuchu gritted her teeth. He clearly did not listen to her words and firmly believed that she was the murderer. She originally wanted Lu Hsinggui to investigate with her, but he was a foolish man.

Zhao Chuchu was silent for a moment and then asked, "Where are you? I want to see Lu Hsingnuan."

"No need."

She only heard the sound of the phone being hung up.

Zhao Chuchu fiercely patted the blanket and wrapped herself up like a ball. She rolled a few rounds on the bed before the anger finally subsided.

It was almost the National Day and there were many things to do in the company. It was not easy for Zhao Chuchu to get a few days off. Before noon, she was called by the manager. She had to go back to the company to sort out the client information.

When she got off work, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. She sat in the car and thought for a while. She called the police officer yesterday and told him what she thought.

"So, Officer Lin, I am really innocent."

"Miss Zhao, we have already investigated what you said."

Zhao Chuchu was a little surprised. Officer Lin looked young. She did not expect him to be so efficient. "What's the result?"

Officer Lin was silent for a while. "It's not convenient for me to tell you about this."

Zhao Chuchu nodded and did not ask further. If Lu Hsingnuan did not find her to help cover up before leaving the province, she would not have had anything to do with this matter at all. It was very normal for him to list her as a suspect to guard against her.

Her finger tapped on the steering wheel. The car lights flashed twice. She said, "Then let me ask you something else? Don't worry, this has nothing to do with the case"

The next day, Zhao Chuchu completed the handover with a few clients early in the morning and called the manager to tell him that her stomach hurt and that she needed a day off.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chuchu put away the exaggerated expression on her face and opened the closet. She took out a black dress from inside. This dress was personally chosen by Lu Hsingnuan, saying that she was very sexy wearing it.

Zhao Chuchu laughed until tears streamed down her face.

She did not expect that the first time she wore this skirt was actually to attend Lu Hsingnuan's funeral.

Lu Hsinggui did not want Zhao Chuchu to go, but Zhao Chuchu could not really not not go. That was why she asked Officer Lin yesterday for the address of the mourning hall. Lu Hsingnuan was her best friend. She would secretly visit Lu Hsingnuan, and she would not let Lu Hsinggui find her traces.

The Lu family had been doing business for three generations and was considered one of the best in the province. Now, an accident had happened to the daughter of the Lu family. Lu Hsinggui asked the two elders to personally hold a funeral for Lu Hsingnuan, and most of the important people in the province went to offer their condolences. Their first goal was the two elders of the Lu family. Their second goal was Lu Hsinggui, the gold-medal lawyer.

Zhao Chuchu was wearing a short denim jacket and a pair of black high heels. She was holding a handful of yellow chrysanthemums in her arms as she followed the guests to the mourning hall. This mourning hall was naturally not a temporary shed but an indoor one.

She easily blended in and the moment she entered, she saw Lu Hsingnuan's photo hanging in the middle. She still smiled and revealed her tiny canine teeth. She looked like a child who had not grown up yet.

Zhao Chuchu's eyes were red as she watched. She did not even notice who was beside her. It was only when her wrist was firmly pinched that she came back to her senses.

"Who allowed you to come?" Every word of his seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth.

Zhao Chuchu lowered her head and hid her crying appearance. She said in a low voice, "I just want to see Lu Hsingnuan."

"I already said that there is no need! Lu Hsingnuan does not want to see you!"

"I said it!" Zhao Chuchu suddenly looked up and spoke halfway before lowering her voice. She did not want to ruin Lu Hsingnuan's funeral. She could only pull back her wrist, "I am not the murderer. I am wronged."

How dare she still appear here? Lu Hsinggui looked at Zhao Chuchu's aggrieved face and became more and more furious. If it wasn't for her, why would Lu Hsingnuan encounter such a thing?

The surrounding people had already looked at them. After all, Lu Hsinggui suddenly got entangled with an unfamiliar woman. This attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Hsinggui heard the whispers around him and dragged Zhao Chuchu out of the mourning hall. He pushed her back, "Don't let me see you again."
