Ma Houde rang the doorbell and Gu Feng opened it.

Obviously Gu Feng felt a bit surprise when he saw Officer Ma. "Officer Ma, why are you here?"

"Oh, nothing important, just for some small questions, is that OK?" Ma Houde smiled.

Gu Feng nodded. After they sat down, he said, "My wife just fell asleep. Please keep the voice down."

Ma Houde nodded, "How is your wife?"

Gu Feng bitterly smiled, "Not very well. Hasn’t eaten or slept these days. Now she’s sleeping due to exhaustion."

"I’m sorry for your loss."

Gu Feng massaged his eyebrows and wearily said, "Officer Ma, what do you want to ask? And when can we take my son’s body back?"

Ma Houde abruptly said, "Mr. Gu seems to urgently want Gu Jiajie’s body back?"

Gu Feng was stunned, and frowned, "Officer Ma, what do you mean? How can I see my son lying in that cold place?"

"We have got the autopsy report." Ma Houde calmly said, "And according to the evidence we have collected, the result points to suicide."

Gu Feng sighed and said nothing.

Ma Houde continued, "But... We have found lots of old and new wounds on your son’s body. Some are bruises, some are caused by weapons, does Mr. Gu know that?"

Gu Feng was surprised, "What? Why there are wounds on his body?"

"That’s why I come here. Mr. Gu." Ma Houde said lightly, "Your son haven’t lived in school. Why haven’t you known about that at all?"

Gu Feng shook his head and said, "I really don’t know that. Perhaps he fought with others, but hasn’t told us... It seems that my son actually hid many things from us. Why did he commit suicide? We... may never know what he wants."

Ma Houde lightly said, "Mr. Gu can keep calm in such a situation, you are really strong."

Gu Feng signed, "Life goes on. My wife is weak now, if I’m not strong, this family will be over."

Ma Houde suddenly sneered, "This family is over... but Mr. Gu still has another one eh?"

Gu Feng was astonished, "Officer Ma, what do you mean?"

Ma Houde suppressed his disdain and said in a low voice to not wake up the mother, "You have a mistress. And you have a three-year-old son... don’t you?"

"You..." Gu Feng gazed at him and angrily said, "You..."

Ma Houde said, "Mr. Gu, the citizens’ information system is very complete. It’s easy for us to know you are the father of that son. The birth certificate has the father’s records."

"Keep, keep your voice down. My wife doesn’t know about it." Gu Feng nervously and guiltily glanced at the door, "Officer Ma, it’s nothing to be surprised about. And it is not a big deal for a man’s unexpected mistake."

Ma Houde sneered, "Gu Jiajie is not your own son. He is your wife’s child. And those years you haven’t had a baby, so you found a mistress and had a son, right?"

"Officer Ma!" Gu Feng was offended and said, "This is my personal affair, will you even interfere in this?"

"No, this is a civil case." Ma Houde lightly said, "And, maybe... a criminal one."

"I don’t know what you are talking about." Gu Feng grunted.

Ma Houde now whispered, "Gu Feng, I suspect you for assaulting Gu Jiajie and resulting in his unstable mental state and suicide. So you must come back with me for the investigation."

"You..." Gu Feng suddenly stood up, and angrily said, "You’re defaming me!"

Ma Houde stonily said, "Mr. Gu Feng, identification technology is very advanced, if we find a knife which coincide with the wounds here, we will be sure there has been domestic violence. Of course, if you need the search warrant, I’ll give you one soon."

"Don’t..." Gu Feng was flurried in a sudden, "Officer Ma... What, what do you want to do?"

"I just want the truth..." Ma Houde stared at him with his scary interrogated eyes, "Real truth."

Gu Feng lowered down his head with cold sweat, "I... I admit I have hit him, but I really didn’t know he would kill himself! Are you suspecting me?"

"Tell me, why did you hit him?"

Gu Feng sighed, "Officer Ma, you know he is not my son. Sometimes I can’t control myself because of the pressure form work. But I promise, I haven’t hit him too much... I have also blamed myself, and have bought a lot of things for him."

"Not too much? You even used knife!" Ma Houde grimly laughed.

Gu Feng was scared, "It’s just an accident, I didn’t think he would go against me... But fortunately, it’s just minor wound..."

"Just minor wound?" Ma Houde furiously said, "You have hurt a child with knife! And you say it’s just minor wounds! Isn’t he your son? You scum!"

"Officer Ma, I can sue you about what you’ve just said." Gu Feng squinted his eyes.

"As you like!" Ma Houde sneered, "I have got complains every day! Mr. Gu Feng, you have admitted your assault to your son, now please go with me! We suspect your long-time violence gave rise to your son’s suicide."

Suddenly, the cup hit the floor with a smash... Gu Feng turned around and saw Shen Meihuan numbly standing at the door.

"Mei, meihuan..." Gu Feng suddenly said in horror.

Shen Meihuan asked with hesitation, "Is that true?"

Gu Feng quickly said, "Meihuan, listen to me! It’s not like that! Don’t believe the police!"

"I have heard everything..." Shen Meihuan rushed over to him, "I’ve heard everything! You are an animal! What you did to my son! You son of a b*tch! Give back my son!!"

Gu Feng strongly push her away, furiously looking at his injured arm and angrily said, "Crazy! I’m his father, Can’t I hit him? I supported you all these years. I have given everything you want. If it weren’t because of me, you’d be a countrywoman! But you even haven’t had a baby for me! Did you complete your responsibility as a wife?!"

Ma Houde didn’t want to watch this ’family drama’, he grabbed Gu Feng’s arm and said, "Mr. Gu, Please go to the police station with me."

"Don’t pull me!" Gu Feng glared, "Humph, I’ll go myself! Mind your own business!"

...

Shen Meihuan sat still for a long time, as if one out of her mind.

Suddenly, she heard the noise outside, so she rushed to open the door, "Jiajie, you came back..."

Actually there was nobody there!

"Jiajie, where are you... Where are you going?"

Shen Meihuan went out and walked down the stairs. Looking at the neighborhood, she thought her son was actually somewhere and just hadn’t come back.

Then she slowly walked alone on the street by bare feet.

As she walked, she came to a very quiet, cool but weird place... And she saw a man who wearing a clown mask.

"What do you want, customer? Anything is possible."

Shen Meihuan who had lost her mind now subconsciously said, "Son... Give my dead son back..."

"Customer, the cost of the resurrection is very high. Do you really want it?" The man quietly asked, "And, even resurrection couldn’t bring the real son back to you."

"No matter what, I’ll give whatever I have, so long as my dead son can come back!"

"As you wish," the man lightly said.

...

"Jiajie! Jiajie! "

Shen Meihuan suddenly woke up.

And she found herself was still in the living room... It seemed to be just a dream.

Shen Meihuan forced a smile, maybe this was just her illusion due to missing someone too much.

She walked toward her son’s room, and cried, feeling hopeless about the future.

But the moment she opened the door, she was shocked.

She saw her son sitting on the bed, yes, sitting there, with his eyes opened...

He blinked!

He... was alive!

"This is... true!"

Shen Meihuan rushed to his son and hardly clasped him. But then she found the body was cold.

He couldn’t talk.
