Chapter 680 - 623 Growth
"I’ve collected Liu Hongbing’s remains," said Jiang Yuan as he took a white, transparent evidence box and methodically placed the skeletal remains from Examination Table One inside.
This case started with a thief reporting his own mother, and the crux of it was finding this very skeleton. Now that the remains had been found, the focus of the case shifted back to the thief, An Zhiqiang, and his mother, Zhang Yi.
Liu Hongbing and his bones could rest for a while now.
As Jiang Yuan placed the last bone into the box, a blue cloth emerged from among the remains.
Liu Hongbing’s legacy—Old Clothes Identification LV2: Liu Hongbing had held many jobs, none of which he liked. He chose to recycle old clothes, the job that paid most, simply to make ends meet. The job was dirty and exhausting. He had to maintain good relations with the security and janitorial staff in residential areas, and day after day, he packed, transported, and sold the collected clothes. Bundling up hundreds or thousands of garments made the collected scents of different people nauseating, and the bundles were so heavy that they made one’s legs tremble. In order to earn a little extra, whenever he had a rare moment of downtime, Liu Hongbing would sort through the clothes in the warehouse. Doing this over time honed his skill at identifying clothing, but if he had the chance, he would have abandoned this work for something else... If he could have lived without working, perhaps he would have seemed more human.
Jiang Yuan gently closed the lid of the evidence box.
Even the lessons brought by death are hard for the living to learn.
Living people always plan far into the future, up until the moment of death.
If Liu Hongbing were still alive, he would surely be concerned about the condition of his shoulder blade, and care deeply about his son’s paternity test result. But now that he’s dead, he no longer cares about any of these things.
Perhaps it’s because his life was filled with too many regrets, and these things simply didn’t make the list.
