CH.18 The Appearance of the Deceased's Boyfriend
When dawn came, I changed my clothes and went downstairs, and Professor Nguyen's car was parked in front of the school. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Huo Xi, come!" After I got into the car, Professor Ruan looked at me and started the car and asked, "Didn't you rest last night?" ”
"I had a nightmare." I held my forehead, "Maybe it's because of Shen Zaiyang, who is very similar to me back then, and is suspected of being a murderer." So it reminds me of that time. ”
"Do you still believe that Shen Zaiyang is not a murderer?" Professor Ruan asked as he drove the car.
"In fact, after those events, I doubted myself, and even wondered if I killed someone without even knowing it. I can't defend myself with anyone, because I don't know if I have done it or not, not only to anyone else. Perhaps it was just under the hints of other people that I gradually became convinced that what they said was right, and that the murderer was me. I said, a little upset, "Shen Zaiyang is the same, his appearance is not just a coincidence, I think he may also be 'hinted' by someone." ”
Xu Ningning was indeed strangled to death, yes, the cause of her death was not announced. Two months later, Shen Changhui slit his throat and died, and then Lin Zhenna also cut his throat to death, and Shen Shijing was stabbed multiple times and died of excessive blood loss. In this way, it seems that only Shen Changhui and Lin Zhenna's death methods are close, but in Xu Ningning's unreleased files, Shen Zaiyang said that she was strangled to death.
"Sometimes I am confused, not because I don't have enough clues at hand, but because you haven't really solved the meaning of the clues." Professor Nguyen smiled and spoke, very similar to my brother.
"Perhaps, it's really something I've overlooked, so I haven't solved the real point of the clue." I'll admit that I was a little impatient, and I was so eager to solve the case that I dragged myself back. And now I have been thinking about how to prove Shen Zaiyang's innocence, but I have lost my original rational judgment. From my thinking, because I didn't want Shen Zaiyang to be the real culprit in this series of cases, there was a deviation that should have been objective in the process of my reasoning. Because I selfishly think that Shen Zaiyang is the same as me at the beginning, I want to protect him and prove his innocence.
But after all, he is the biggest suspect in Xu Ningning's case, and my selfishness has become a cover-up.
Although Professor Ruan broke the private emotions in my heart that I didn't want people to know, I seemed to have completely accepted his persuasion. I turned my head to the side, and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.
Professor Ruan noticed that I was smiling, a little confused, and he muttered, "Ghost girl." ”
The car drove out of the lost and slowly approached the cemetery.
"Before the case is solved, Xu Ningning has already been buried." I walked on the path of the cemetery, looking for Xu Ningning's tombstone and complaining.
"I remember a joke circulating on the Internet before, saying that it doesn't matter how big the house is before death, the destination after death is such a small box. But if you look at it today, does wealth in life really have nothing to do with the afterlife? That's just other people's self-comfort. Poor people who have no money are crowded into a narrow group of economic tombs, and whoever you want to find has to come to see them one by one, and you can only turn sideways in such a place in front of the tombstone. But if you look at the rich people, a man's tomb sits on several square meters of space, and the degree of luxury is no less than what they enjoyed when they were alive before they died. Professor Ruan sighed. This is the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. ”
"Does Professor Ruan care about that?" I had been walking in front, and after listening to Professor Ruan's words, I couldn't help but turn around and chuckle and answer, "Actually, I don't think so. Even human beings can't decide what happens to their own death, even what to do with their own body. Although I don't know if the people buried here really have no regrets. But I thought, since I can't even be the master of my own body after death, let alone what kind of wealth I will continue to possess. The grave of the dead should not be judged by how much the deceased person has, but by how much the living, that is, their descendants, have. Or in order to show off wealth, or to express sorrow, what those who lie here enjoy is nothing but the blessing of posterity. For future generations, how much they have, not all they give, they can only say that they have done their best, and they can give whatever they can afford. ”
Professor Ruan listened to my words as if he was quite emotional, and he pondered for a while and smiled. "You're not very old, but you have a very thorough attitude towards things." Then he put away some smiles a little, "But, Huo Xi, his life is very long, and he can't see everything too thoroughly." Sometimes people who are confused live happier than people who are sensible. ”
Inevitably, I felt a little bitter in my heart, I just said my opinion, but he saw through it. Professor Nguyen's words, although not heavy, had a great impact on me, because he pointed directly at my scars. As he said, if you see too thoroughly, you lose your happiness.
"Huo Xi, I hope you are happy." Professor Ruan said, and then paused for a while before adding, "Your brother must also want you to be happy." ”
"Borrow it." While we were at a stalemate, a man suddenly came along the path to the cemetery, and we blocked his way up, and he was carrying a lot of things in both hands, and he had to break the silence between us.
Professor Nguyen turned sideways and moved out of the way. Seeing this, I also gave way to the side of the road, and on the path more than one person wide, it was already a little difficult for this person to carry a lot of people to walk by himself, not to mention avoiding us. He carried something and struggled to turn sideways past me, and he looked very sad as he passed me by, keeping his head down at the road under his feet, and not looking at us.
He walked over, and I felt something special, and continued to watch his back as he walked up the mountain.
"What's wrong?" Professor Nguyen was puzzled, so he came over and stopped me.
I looked back and just shook my head. I can't tell what this unexpected feeling is, as if my eyes should have seen something just now. It's just a little bit of a delay in the transmission from vision to the brain, so it's not clear to me what that feeling I was just feeling.
"Let's go." Professor Nguyen said.
"It should be not far ahead." Before I came, I specially asked Xiao Yang to help me check the location of Xu Ningning's tomb, and I was thinking about Xiao Yang, and Xiao Yang's phone called. "Hello?"
"Huo Shao, are you still in the cemetery?" Xiao Yang asked.
"Yes, let's go to her grave and take a look and then prepare to go back, and I'll go to the bureau by myself in a while, and you don't have to worry about me." I thought he was urging me not to forget to go to the bureau and watch the video.
"I'm also going over there, to check if Zhao Kai has gone to Xu Ningning's tomb to worship recently. Wait for me over there. We'll meet up there later, and then we'll go back together. Xiao Yang's voice on the phone was a little low.
"It's fine." I finished talking to him and hung up.
Then I explained a sentence or two to Professor Ruan, and continued to walk towards Xu Ningning's tombstone, and finally, we found Xu Ningning's tombstone, and when we walked to the tombstone, we were surprised to find that there were a lot of things in front of Xu Ningning's tombstone. There's a bouquet of flowers, and some fruit or something.
"Looks like someone is a step ahead of us." Professor Ruan squatted down to check the bouquet of flowers, "The flowers are fresh, they should have just been put down." ”
"It's him!" I was stunned.
It was the man who passed us by on the half-level path! No wonder at the time, I felt that something was wrong, because there was too much dust and some stains on the clothes, the jacket that the man was wearing. He had just carried a lot of things up the mountain, and among them was this bouquet of flowers, and I just thought he was the same as the rest of the people who had come to worship. So, I felt as if I was seeing something, but I didn't react in the shortest possible time.
It was the dust on his clothes, and Professor Ruan and I were subconsciously avoiding him, because we didn't want to wipe it with him and get on it. If you ask a person who comes to worship in the morning, he brings so many things, which is enough to prove that he has great respect and care for the people who come to worship. But how could he be wearing a coat that was dirty like that? The answer is, because that dress is closely related to his life.
He came early in the morning, and it was very likely that he was going to return to the construction site to work after worshipping Xu Ningning, so he was wearing the clothes he usually wears.
Finally figured it out, I hurriedly walked out of the middle of the row of tombstones, looking around for the figure.
"What's wrong? Did you think of something. Professor Ruan caught up with him uneasily.
"It's that person, he is Zhao Kai, Xu Ningning's boyfriend." I explained it a little bit, and then jogged down the hill to find it. Finally, through the rows of tombstones, I saw him walking down the hill on another path.
No, if I pass through the middle of the tombstones, my movements will wake him up by the narrow aisles between the rows of tombstones. It's easier to run in his direction than it is for me to catch him. But just when he was in a dilemma, Xiao Yang came, and Xiao Yang walked up from the same path as him without knowing it. They were less than 100 meters away from each other, and as soon as Xiao Yang looked up and saw me, he reached out to greet me.
"Zhao Kai!" I shouted in a hurry.
Zhao Kai unconsciously looked at me when he heard the voice, Xiao Yang was stunned and immediately reacted, Zhao Kai turned around to run, Xiao Yang dropped something and quickly chased after him. didn't run far, Zhao Kai was held down by Xiao Yang.
I walked through the rows of tombstones to them.
"Let go of me!" Zhao Kai was pressed to the ground by Xiao Yang, still screaming.
"Sure enough, it's you." Xiao Yang seemed to think it was a little funny, and then looked at me, "You react quite quickly." How do you know he's Zhao Kai? ”
"Let's go back and talk about it." It's really inconvenient to explain too much here, so I can only say this first.
Professor Ruan had already walked over, and I looked at him embarrassed, and Professor Ruan understood, and he said, "It's okay, you can go with them." Stay safe. ”
"Okay, we'll see you at school." As he spoke, Xiao Yang had already detained Zhao Kai and walked back, and I followed forward to pick up the thing that Xiao Yang had just scattered on the ground, and hurriedly chased after him.
