"Has Dong Xinghai mentioned this to you before?" Gu Xiaofan asked.
Dong's father shook his head: "I didn't dare to ask more about young people's love affairs, for fear that the child would be unhappy. I guess his mother is not particularly clear, otherwise she would not have told me privately."
"Can you recognize Dong Xinghai's handwriting?" Zhong Han handed Dong Xinghai's suicide note sealed in a transparent evidence bag to Dong's father for him to take a look.
Dong's father just took it, and Gao Xuan and Dong's mother came back. Dong's mother's eyes were a little red, and she looked very depressed. She was able to control her emotions at first, but when she entered the office and saw her husband, she was even more sad. Tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and dripped down her cheeks.When Father Dong saw his wife like this, he knew that the glimmer of hope they had held had been completely shattered. He hurried forward a few steps, holding his wife's hand with one hand and supporting her arm with the other. Mother Dong shed tears, shook her head, and said to her husband in a hoarse voice: "Xinghai he..." As soon as she opened her mouth, she choked up and couldn't make a sound. Father Dong sighed and patted her hand gently, silently soothing her emotions. Gao Xuan, Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan did not speak at the side. At this time, the grief of the deceased's family is indescribable, and no one else can comfort them with words. Dong's mother cried for a while, and gradually calmed down. Seeing that her mood had stabilized a little, Dong's father handed her the suicide note on the table and said, "Look, is this written by Xinghai?"Dong's mother took it and read it carefully from beginning to end with red eyes. Her expression gradually became a little puzzled. She looked up at Zhong Han and asked curiously, "Is this found in my son's home?""Yes, do you think there is something wrong?" Zhong Han saw that Dong's mother seemed a little suspicious, thinking that she had found something unusual.Dong's mother neither denied nor admitted it. She looked confused: "Although the handwriting was shaking violently, I could tell that it was my son Xinghai's handwriting. But this suicide note doesn't look like his at all.""Can you explain it in detail?""I don't know how to put it. Anyway, I feel that this thing doesn't look like what my son would say. As a mother, you know your child best. Xinghai is not a bad person by nature, but he has been playful since he was a child. He doesn't like to study very much and can't sit still. He is usually very lively and energetic. Give him a book and let him sit down and read it. He will fall asleep in less than five minutes. He can chew the pencil tip when writing an essay. This suicide note is too well written. It doesn't look like what my son would write." Dong's mother shook her head and found it very unbelievable."How much do you know about Dong Xinghai's daily life?" Zhong Han asked Dong's mother the question that Dong's father couldn't answer just now.Dong's mother looked at Dong's father, and Dong's father nodded to her: "I have explained the situation between the two of us to them. They all know that I am Xinghai's stepfather."Dong's mother nodded and said: "It's not that I, as a mother, favor my own children. My son is still quite good. Maybe he is not particularly capable, and he is more playful and childish. This is also partly due to my doting on him over the years. He has never caused any trouble for me outside, nor has he caused any trouble for the family. Xinghai is usually a relatively outgoing child. Although he is a child. He doesn't want to tell his family everything, but he is not the kind of person who doesn't say anything and keeps things in his heart. His current job is arranged by his father and me, and no one will make things difficult for him. It is impossible for him to suddenly become depressed. Especially a while ago, he told me that he wanted to give him some money later, and he wanted to invite friends to travel abroad together. How could he suddenly commit suicide?""Is it possible that he was heartbroken?" Gu Xiaofan asked."He's not in love, how can he be heartbroken?" Dong's mother immediately denied this possibility, "And even if we are too old to keep up with the times, we know that your generation is very open-minded. No one would hang themselves on a tree. Even if Xinghai likes a girl and she doesn't like him, it's not a big deal. It's impossible for him to commit suicide for such a thing.""You mean, Dong Xinghai has indeed pursued someone unsuccessfully recently?" Zhong Han heard a clue from Dong's mother's words.Dong's mother hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to sum it up: "My son did seem to be showing signs of wanting to fall in love before, his father discovered this when he went to pay off his bank account debt. I asked him about it later, but he didn't give me a positive answer. He just told us not to worry about it, and that we could bring her home when it was time to meet her, and not to ask about it before we brought her home. I was afraid he would find it annoying, so I didn't ask too many questions. I just told him that if the relationship was stable and confirmed, he should bring her home as soon as possible so that we could meet her. He agreed, so I didn't keep asking. A few months passed, and I saw that he didn't mention anything about it, so I became a little anxious. One time when we were on the phone I asked him how the two of them were doing and when he would bring her home so we could see what she looked like. He suddenly became unhappy and said that we were always thinking about him getting married and having children, which made him very unhappy. He also said that he didn't want to get married and that it was good to be alone and free for the rest of his life. When I heard that he was angry and in a bad mood, I comforted him a few words and didn't ask any more questions. I didn't know whether they broke up or had some other problems. Later, he came back home. I saw that he was in a good mood and told me that he was going to travel abroad with his friends. It didn't seem like he had suffered any emotional damage. ""Dong Xinghai likes playing online games and computer games, right?" Zhong Han asked Dong's mother.Dong's mother nodded: "Yes, he likes those very much. We don't know much about them. We just know that those game consoles are not cheap. He spends a lot of money on them. Xinghai doesn't have any other hobbies. Sometimes we come to see him or he goes home. Most of the time he doesn't chat with us. He plays alone. Sometimes he plays with a group of people online, wearing headphones and shouting while playing. His father and I have given him advice and told him that he is not young anymore and should not be distracted by playing with things. He doesn't take it seriously.""Do you know Dong Xinghai's good friends?" Gao Xuan asked at the right time.Dong's father and mother shook their heads at the same time. Dong's father said, "We only see our child during the holidays. When he goes home for a few days, we rarely ask him who he hangs out with. Only his mother would remind him not to hang out with those idle people in society and cause trouble everywhere. He doesn't like to listen. We haven't seen anything happen to him in the past few years, so we rarely talk about it.""Dong Xinghai is 26 years old this year. How old was he when he graduated from college?" Zhong Han asked.Dong's mother thought for a while: "He went to college at the age of 19, studied for three years in junior college, and graduated at the age of 22.""So what has he been doing in the past three or four years?""At first, he said he wanted to start a small business. We thought it would be good for him to start from a young age, learn and exercise, so we agreed. But later he said there was no suitable store or project. Anyway, the matter of procrastination has no further progress. We let him do it. Anyway, he is still young, and he wants to play for a few years, so let him play for a few years." Dong's mother replied."In other words, after graduating from school, Dong Xinghai actually did not have a fixed job in the past three or four years until he went to Hengjiu Media, right?" Zhong Han confirmed again with the two elders of the Dong family.Dong's mother nodded slightly unnaturally, and couldn't help but add: "My son is just a little playful, not mature enough mentally, a little childish, and not stable. In fact, he is a good person in nature.""Okay, we will weigh it. There is one more thing we need to ask your opinion. We suspect that Dong Xinghai may not have committed suicide by falling from the building, so we hope you can allow us to conduct further examinations on his body, which may involve dissection or something like that." Zhong Han expressed his understanding of Dong's mother's words and asked for their opinions.Dong's father did not express his opinion, but cast his eyes on his wife. Dong's mother nodded in agreement almost immediately after listening to Zhong Han's words."No problem, you can check it however you want. I will give you my son's body. My son would not suddenly write a suicide note and jump off the building without any warning. I don't believe he would be so depressed. I ask you to help me find out the truth. If my son was killed, please bring the murderer to justice no matter what. Don't let my son be killed in vain!" Dong's mother said in a deep voice, her eyes red again, tears flashing."Is this your contact information?" Dong's father still held the business card of Zhong Han in his hand. He looked at the name and phone number on it and asked, "Can we call to ask about the progress during this period? If there is any new progress, we hope to know it as soon as possible!""No problem, my phone is on 24 hours a day. If you think of anything else to add after you go back, you can contact me at any time." Zhong Han nodded solemnly to Dong's father.Gao Xuan looked at him on the side, pursed his lips slightly, and said nothing.
