When Dai Jialang arrived at the hospital, Wang Meijuan had already woken up. The doctor also checked her body and found no other problems. It was obvious that she was stimulated by the news of her husband's death and suddenly fainted.

"Oh, Alang, you know, let's go back quickly." Wang Meijuan saw Dai Jialang coming in, hurriedly sat up and said anxiously.

When Dai Jialang saw his mother, he felt sad again and choked and said, "Mom, how could such a thing happen?"

Wang Meijuan said quietly: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come here. He must have been alone and was bored. He climbed to the roof of the building in the middle of the night to smoke.

Since the new house was built, he always likes to climb to the rooftop to smoke and cool off at night, but if I were at home, he wouldn’t have drunk so much wine, and if he didn’t drink too much, he wouldn’t have fallen off the roof. It’s all my fault for this.”

After hearing his mother's words, Dai Jialang realized that it was not accidental that his father climbed to the roof at night, but that he used to climb up to smoke and cool off.

Although Dai Jialang was unwilling to make his mother feel guilty, he also felt that if his mother didn't come out this time, there would be nothing wrong with her father.

However, this was just thinking about it in my heart, but I said, "Mom, since you are gone, there is no need to blame yourself. How is your health? If there is no problem, let's leave now."

As he spoke, he glanced around privately, but did not see his niece Wang Mei. He asked quickly, "Where is Mei Zi?"

While packing up his things, Wang Meijuan said, "She ran out to play just now, please call her quickly."

Dai Jialang said angrily: "This damn girl, let her accompany you here, but she actually ran out to play?" After that, he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Wang Mei.

Dai Jialang took his mother Mei Xiangyue and niece Wang Mei in a car. Zhao Yu took three security guards to another car as Zhou Jiyao ordered, and rushed to Yunling County People's Hospital around 4 o'clock that afternoon.

There they saw Dai Ming's already cold body. Dai Jialang and Wang Meijuan naturally had to cry. Then Wang Meijuan scolded her eldest son Wang Gengtian and her daughter-in-law for not taking good care of her husband when she was not at home. If Mei Xiangyue hadn't pulled her, Dai Ming might have been slapped in the face several times.

To be honest, Dai Jialang was also a little resentful towards his brother and sister-in-law. After all, if his mother was not at home, they should pay more snacks, at least they could not let his father have so much wine.

Obviously, my father must be drinking by himself at home alone, so he drank too much. If someone around him advised him, such a thing would not happen. However, when she saw that her mother had already scolded her brother and sister-in-law so much that she could not raise her head, she could only hold it back.

Dai Jialang found a doctor from the county hospital and asked about Dai Ming's cause of death because he had a doubt. His new house was only two and a half floors, and it was only more than ten meters high. It would be normal if his arms and legs were broken, but why did his father die in an instant?

"I have checked his body. Although there are multiple scratches, it is not fatal. The real fatal one should be the wound in the brain." The doctor said.

Dai Jialang asked, "Do you mean your head is broken?"

The doctor nodded and said, "There is a wound of two or three centimeters on his head. It should be that he encountered some hard object in his head when he fell down."

He paused and said, "It might have been just fainting at that time. If it were discovered, it would have been a long time ago. I think it was mainly death caused by excessive blood loss.

According to your family, I found out that he fell from the roof at five o'clock the next morning, and it took about six or seven hours without anyone to take care of it."

"My brother said my dad drank a lot of alcohol at night, I wonder if it's true?" Dai Jialang asked.

The doctor hesitated for a while and said, "I can't judge how much alcohol I have drunk, unless I have an autopsy. However, when I delivered it, I did smell alcohol."

After hearing this, Dai Jialang could only sigh deeply, and immediately understood his mother's self-blame. To be honest, his mother and his father, who had been with him for decades, slept in the same bed at night.

If you join your mother at home, you will not only not let him drink so much wine, but you will not let your husband disappear for six or seven hours at night? It seems that it is not the time for my mother to go to Nanzhao City this time.

Now that the funeral in the city is no longer so complicated, it is basically to find relatives and friends to send people to the crematorium to hold a memorial service, then cremate, and finally invite relatives and friends to have a meal in the hotel.

But the customs in the countryside remain unchanged, especially when the elderly die and their family is poor, even if they borrow money, they will have to make the lost fortune. Otherwise, they will be looked down upon or blame their descendants for being unfilial.

For Dai Jialang, money is no longer a problem, so naturally, he had to do the loss of Dai Ming. He built a large spiritual shed at the entrance of the village that night, which could accommodate dozens of people.

All the family members were dressed in mourning, and the portrait of Dai Ming was placed in the spirit shed, and there was a brazier of incense table in front of them. In the next seven days, the incense in the spirit shed was endless, and there were constant sorrow and joy in twenty hours. The filial son and virtuous grandson guarded the spirit for twenty hours, and fired artillery every night at midnight.

In addition, we also specially found a few chefs from the next village to hold a banquet in the village to entertain relatives and friends who came to pay their respects and villagers from the same village.

It was not until the seven days had passed that the urn was placed in the coffin and eight men were hired to carry the coffin to the already dug cemetery on the mountain.

The relatives and friends and villagers at home lined up in a huge line to see them off. At that time, artillery rumbled along the way, incense paper was floating all over the sky, and the women's mourning, many people had never seen that scene.

Finally, seven days later, Dai Ming got down to the ground, but Wang Meijuan fell ill. Dai Jialang had to send Zhao Yu and a few others back first, and he and Mei Xiangyue stayed at home to accompany his mother to see a doctor.

In fact, Wang Meijuan's illness is nothing serious. As long as she is still due to heart disease, she always feels that her husband's death is related to her.

In her opinion, if she had told Dai Jialang about Zhou Jiyao asking her on the phone that day, there would be no need to go to the city. If she didn't go to the city, her husband wouldn't have died.

Of course Dai Jialang knew the guilt in her mother's heart, but she had no medicine for her heart disease, so she could only patiently comfort her. Unfortunately, Wang Meijuan couldn't overcome the hurdle and lay in bed all day without eating or drinking. Until Dai Jialang almost knelt down and begged her, she could barely drink some porridge.

However, even so, she still did not tell Dai Jialang about Zhou Jiyao's plan to her. On the one hand, she believed that Zhou Jiyao's plan was beneficial to her son.

On the other hand, Zhou Jiyao's warning made her feel inexplicable fear. Although she wanted to speak to her son several times, she finally held back the words.

According to rural customs, Mei Xiangyue is considered a daughter-in-law who has never been to the family and should not live in Dai Jialang's home. However, the countryside is much more open than before, and she is no longer so conservative about men and women.

What's more, both of them work in the city, so who cares whether they sleep together or not? Therefore, Dai Jialang not only let Mei Xiangyue live in his home, but also slept in the same bed every night. However, his father just died and the two of them just slept in the same bed, so that kind of thing must not be done.

"Have you ever checked the scene where your dad fell down?" Mei Xiangyue suddenly asked after Dai Jialang fell asleep that night.

Dai Jialang said in confusion: "I have seen it, what's wrong?"

Mei Xiangyue hesitated: "The doctor said that the wound on your father's brain encountered something hard. I guess it should be a relatively large stone or a hard building material.

But I looked at the scene carefully. Apart from a pile of blood on the sand, no hard objects with blood were found. Your father fell down from the west side of the building. There was no road there and no one would go there. Has anyone cleaned the scene?"

Dai Jialang lit a cigarette and said, "Maybe my brother has cleaned it up. I heard that when my father had an accident, there were a lot of bricks and ten pieces piled up there."

Mei Xiangyue hesitated: "Those bricks and stones are still there. If your father hit a certain stone or brick in his head, it will definitely leave blood. But I searched carefully but couldn't find it. I asked your brother, but he didn't notice it either."

Dai Jialang sat up, stared at Mei Xiangyue and said in confusion: "What do you mean? Do you think my dad died of an accident?"

Mei Xiangyue said thoughtfully: "It is certain that he died of an accident. Now it seems that he fell from the upper floor after drinking too much, but where is the hard object?

It cannot disappear out of thin air. It has not rained these days, and the blood on the mud and sand can be seen clearly. Why can't the bloody stone be found?"

Dai Jialang sat there and was stunned for a while and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Mei Xiangyue said cautiously: "Did someone take away that hard object?"

Dai Jialang was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, do you want to say that my dad might have been pushed down from the upper floor and killed?"

Mei Xiangyue said, "I didn't say that either. I'm just wondering. Since your father's death was a severe brain injury, you will definitely find the hard object that caused his brain to be severely damaged, otherwise it would be unreasonable."

Dai Jialang put out the cigarette butts in the ashtray, then sat there silently pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Maybe you haven't found someone like my father who has no enemies, no messing around with women, and no money on them. Who would harm him?

My mother said that since he built a new house, he liked to climb to the rooftop to smoke and cool off at night. You don’t know that building this new house was my dad’s lifelong dream. Now that the dream has finally come true, he is naturally happy.

Therefore, he sat on the rooftop every night to enjoy a sense of accomplishment. He blamed him for not drinking so much, otherwise something would happen."

"Do your dad drink often?" Mei Xiangyue asked.

Dai Jialang nodded and said, "My father is famous for drinking in the village. He is basically at least two taels every night. This is still under the supervision of my mother. If my mother doesn't care, she can drink a pound. However, he is not like some alcoholics in the village. If he drinks some wine, he will go crazy all over the village."

Mei Xiangyue hesitated and said, "Since your father has such a strong alcohol tolerance, how could he get drunk that night? According to your brother, no one in the village saw your father go to the roof of the new house. In this way, your father went to the new house at least after 11 o'clock. At this time, the villagers had basically gone to bed, otherwise the villagers who were enjoying the cool air outside would definitely see him.

Your sister-in-law said that she came to cook for your father at five o'clock that night, because he was the only one who ate it, so she only copied two dishes.

According to your sister-in-law, your dad started sitting in your kitchen drinking at about 5:30. When your sister-in-law left, she advised him to make a few less drinks.

By this calculation, even if your father drank a pound of wine that night, two hours would be enough, and it ended at around 7:30. In fact, someone saw your father smashing the village around 8 o'clock and wandering around, without obvious drunkenness.

By the time he couldn't get up and went to the new house at 11 o'clock, three or four hours had passed. According to the principle, he should have slowly woken up, so why did he get drunk even more?”

Dai Jialang stared at Mei Xiangyue for a moment and said with a suspicion: "Why did you investigate so clearly? Did you suspect from the beginning that my father was killed?"
