"But ghosts still exist, don't they?" I asked Li Jing, and although I already agreed with his point of view, I was still struggling with the facts I didn't want to admit.

"If there is, it should be in the heart of the person." Li Jing replied.

While I was still digesting the complicated information given by Li Jing, the train had already entered the station, and we got off the train and went straight to the police station. I sat in the taxi without saying a word, Li Jing wanted to talk to me several times, but I was rejected by my unusually calm expression, he opened his mouth, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say into his stomach. It's not that I don't really want to talk to him, it's just that I can't describe my feelings right now, the puzzle pieces in my mind are getting more and more complete, but I still miss the most critical piece, but I have a hunch that I actually knew the location of the loss, but I refused in my heart and didn't want to uncover the final mystery.

Li Jing called Team Xiao in the taxi, and he didn't say anything about Zhu Mu first, but asked Team Xiao about Han Yue.

"Isn't Han Yue dead? Sister Xiao Mu also went to her funeral. "It doesn't seem useful to investigate her now," I added to my mind.

"People will always leave all kinds of traces to prove that they have come to this world, some people have left heirs, some people have left works, some people have left a name for the ages, and some people have left a bad reputation for future generations." Li Jing sat in the passenger seat and looked at his mobile phone and said. However, he immediately changed the subject: "Guess who is the devout among those girls?" ”

"Han Yue?" I remembered that Li Jing was asking Xiao team Han Yue about it just now, and said this name in passing, but in fact, my mind was not on Li Jing's issue at all.

"That's not right." Li Jing shook her head in the previous work.

"It can't be Sister Xiao Mu, right?" When I took her home yesterday, she said that she was a vegetarian, and insisted that I cook vegetable porridge for her to drink, and I forced her to fry eggs.

Li Jing didn't speak, but I knew I guessed right this time.

After a while, Li Jingcai spoke again: "Shi Hao found out, when Zhu Mu filled in the company's entry information, he wrote that his belief was Buddhism. In addition, before their graduation trip, her bank records showed that she had withdrawn money and spent money near the temple, and according to the ticket information for the trip, she regularly visited at the end of January and the end of July every year. I think it was because it was just a holiday at that time, so she went to the temple to practice, and the temple we visited this morning was one of the few temples in that place that had a women's dojo. ”

The last piece of the puzzle seems to be put together, but finally the previous pieces are not coordinated, am I too anxious to make a mistake?

When I arrived at the police station, I saw that Team Xiao happened to be at the door, he motioned for the two of us to follow him to the interrogation room, and opened the door of the interrogation room, where Sister Zhu Mu was already sitting waiting for us.

Unlike last time, Sister Zhu Mu and I met in the interrogation room this time, although I was prepared in my heart, but looking at the person sitting calmly opposite me who I was still swearing to protect yesterday, I felt a sour feeling for no reason.

Sister Zhu Mu didn't seem to show an unhappy expression because of the change of location, but said hello to me as usual, and her complexion and expression seemed to be much better than before.

I sat opposite Zhu Mu with my head down, compared to Zhu Mu who calmly looked at me, I looked more like a suspect who was about to be questioned. Li Jing leaned over my shoulder and asked if I needed to go out and take a break, I took a long breath and rejected her kindness, I readjusted my feelings and started the interrogation with Team Xiao.

Li Jing saw that my state was basically restored, and he said preemptively: "We just went to the temple that you said you went to on your graduation trip today. ”

Zhu Mu didn't show surprise, but nodded slightly: "Mr. Host is okay?" ”

Li Jing glanced at her: "The physical condition is not bad, and you talked to us a lot about your things back then." ”

Zhu Mu's eyes widened slightly: "What did Host Xuan Ming say?" ”

Li Jing sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Talking about your absence from class at night, he said that he knew that we were coming to him, and his apprentice said that he had been waiting for us." ”

Zhu Mu also smiled when he heard this: "Host Xuan Ming has always known everything, but knowing doesn't mean that he can stop it, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Team Xiao's voice was an octave lower than Li Jing's, but it was much louder, "As long as people don't die, there is still the possibility of being saved." This sentence has a distinct voice-over.

Zhu Mu seemed to hear the meaning of Team Xiao's words, but she closed her mouth quietly and thought for a while before speaking again: "Cao Mei can't come back from the dead." ”

"So we're looking for the murderer." Team Xiao's voice was a little quieter than just now, and he seemed to want Sister Zhu Mu to cooperate and say something.

Zhu Mu looked at us, his eyes were slightly sad and resolute: "We are all murderers. ”

This answer was unexpected, but the team and Li Jing didn't show much surprise at this answer. Li Jing looked at Zhu Mu and said, "You don't have to feel too guilty about her death. The host of Xuan Ming once asked me the difference between the two pillars of incense, I have my answer, and I think you should also be answered by yours. “

Zhu Mu smiled: "Your answer is to solve the case, but my answer is to make my own choice in friendship and morality." ”

"So what's your choice?" Li Jing looked at Zhu Mu.

Before Zhu Mu could answer, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. Immediately, a police officer walked in, and he walked directly to Team Xiao: "Team Xiao, I just got the news that the girl named Liangyi that you asked us to contact and protect before is missing. ”

"Why is it missing?" Team Xiao reprimanded, but I noticed that the corners of Sister Zhu Mu's mouth rose slightly, as if this was a scene she liked to see, and secretly pushed Li Jing. Li Jing also noticed the change in Zhu Mu's expression, no, everyone noticed that she seemed to be very happy now.

Team Xiao turned his gaze to Zhu Mu: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I'll be meeting my friends soon, right?" Zhu Mu's expression was still smiling, but there were obvious tears in his eyes. I can't understand Sister Zhu Mu's expression, but I think she is very sad although she is smiling now. I suddenly wanted to comfort her.

"Sister Zhu Mu, what's wrong with you?" I spoke, who had been silent for a long time, "Liangyi wasn't kidnapped by you, right?" ”

Sister Zhu Mu stopped laughing, stopped her tears, and looked at me with a strange expression: "I really hope that I killed them." ”

My eyes widened in shock, if what Sister Xiao Mu said just now was true, in fact, she had nothing to do with the previous incident at all, and I confirmed it in disbelief: "Are you saying that you didn't kill other girls?" ”

Sister Xiao Mu smiled bitterly: "I haven't killed anyone except Cao Mei." ”

The heart I just let go of was lifted again, she admitted that she killed Cao Mei, so she was so panicked when she saw something that seemed to be Cao Mei's ghost? She's doing something wrong.

Li Jing spoke, but his words made me think of chaos even more: "You didn't kill Cao Mei, you didn't kill anyone." I told you not to dwell on unnecessary self-reproach. It wasn't you who killed Cao Mei, and it wasn't the ghosts who killed the others. I never remember you killing someone, but I know that you are hiding some important clues, you think you are helping the victim, but you are wrong, you have been aiding and abetting, Strawberry's death is not your fault, the only mistake you made is to be used by someone with a heart. If you want to correct your mistakes and let everything get the way it deserves, you should tell us the truth. ”

Sister Zhu Mu looked at Li Jing and didn't speak for a long time.

Team Xiao was worried about the other victim, and he was a little anxious when he saw that Zhu Mu had not spoken: "There is no time for you to think about it now, tell us the truth, we can rescue Liangyi and find the real murderer." I don't think you want your good friend Cao Mei to die and be charged with a murderer! ”

Maybe Sister Zhu Mu figured it out, maybe it was Team Xiao's words that woke her up, she bit her lower lip and said, "Okay." I tell you all I know. ”

Li Jing finally relaxed his expression and began to ask, "I know that you blame yourself for giving others the opportunity to kill Cao Mei, so I want to know what happened to the whole thing." First of all, who first proposed the graduation trip and the location of the trip that year? ”

Zhu Mu replied without hesitation: "It's Tian Tian." At that time, she suddenly said that she wanted to find a place to do the final graduation anniversary, and I was a little hesitant at that time, because in fact, Han Yue, Tian Tian, Zhang Le and Liangyi, they had only been in the dormitory for a long time, and our relationship was not intimate enough to go on a graduation trip together. I know that we have been roommates for a long time in the previous transcript, and these are what the school told us to say at that time, saying this will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble, and now I think it should have saved the school a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

After a pause, Zhu Mu continued: "Although I am not particularly reluctant, but in order to prove that I am not a person who is not difficult to get along with Cao Mei, I still agreed, and by the way, I also told Cao Mei about this matter, and Cao Mei said that I would think about it at that time." By the way, the reason why they moved in was indeed because Cao Mei's weird habits and tastes scared away a few roommates, I didn't leave for fear of trouble, and I sometimes borrowed to live in Xiaozhi's house, and didn't go back to the dormitory often, but I don't know why the previous roommates moved in, but a few of them moved in, now that I think about it, maybe there was a plan to hurt Cao Mei at that time. At that time, I was less than half a year away from graduation, and I was working on my thesis, so I spent more time in the dormitory, and I was able to get along with a few other people. The graduation trip is also a time to relax. ”
