All the questions had a reasonable explanation when Team Xiao questioned later, in order not to increase the pressure on Zhu Mu, Li Jingjian and I accompanied her in the reception room during the investigation.

Team Xiao sat opposite Zhu Mu: "Zhu Mu, can you still recall the situation when you saw Cao Mei die?" ”

Zhu Mu frowned and thought for a while before replying, "I remember being stopped by the dormitory manager at the door of the dormitory building and saying that the dormitory smelled bad, let us go back and deal with it quickly." We had told the school in advance that we were going on a trip, so we guessed that it was someone who didn't pack up what they had eaten before leaving. But as soon as we opened the door, we were all dumbfounded, and we saw Cao Mei hanging in the air, and the smell emanated from him. ”

"The dormitory manager didn't follow you?" Team Xiao glanced at the information in his hand.

Zhu Mu shook his head: "No, we were about to graduate at that time, and the management was not so strict, after notifying us, the dormitory manager went back to his room." ”

"When you saw Cao Mei being hung in the room, apart from a few of you, was anyone else present, I mean people from other dormitories?"

Zhu Mu thought for a long time: "I don't remember." When I saw that scene, I was so scared that I couldn't remember what I had done. But it must have been one of us screaming, I don't know if it was me, but the others heard us screaming and ran over. ”

Team Xiao flipped through the information in his hand: "Zhu Mu, you said that you recently saw Cao Mei's soul. ”

As soon as Team Xiao finished speaking, Zhu Mu subconsciously hugged his arms: "I saw it." Her body couldn't stop shaking, and I patted her on the shoulder to comfort her and calm down.

For about 1 minute or so, Zhu Mu stopped trembling, she shook her lips and said, "Although I only see her back every time, I can feel that it must be her, the same figure, the same hair, and the clothes he wore on the day of his suicide are exactly the same." So I concluded it was her. Normal people don't wear clothes like that. ”

"Normal people?" I, Li Jing, and Team Xiao all repeated her words in unison.

Zhu Muse shrank for a moment, as if she didn't want to continue the topic, but judging by her expression, she should have realized that it was time to investigate, so she had to bite the bullet and continue: "Maybe I said this disrespectful to the deceased, but Cao Mei is indeed a strange girl." That's why everyone in our dorm doesn't have a very close relationship with her. ”

"Is it because of the dress?" I remembered Zhu Mu's description of the clothes Cao Mei wore when she died, a white ankle-length cloak, dressed like this and hanged in the dormitory, I couldn't help but think of the funeral procession I saw a long time ago, and I suddenly felt creepy.

"It's just part of the reason, her personality and way of resting are not the same as ordinary people." Zhu Mu paused for a moment before continuing: "Her first impression on us is very gloomy, as if she can shed tears at any time, in fact, she is always crying. When we asked her, she didn't say anything, and the clothes she wore in the dormitory were very strange, and many times she only wore white. It wasn't ordinary white clothes, it was the kind of clothes that lined the shroud that my grandfather wore when he died, so every time she was in the dormitory, we felt very depressed. He usually communicates very little with us, and we try not to provoke her. In the second year of graduate school, she didn't live in the dormitory much, and we were very happy, but politely went to talk to her about going out together, and she promised to be fine, but then suddenly called and said that she was not feeling well, so she didn't go with us. We were relieved to hear this, and we weren't very good at getting along with her. ”

"Don't you know that he killed her?" Team Xiao looked at Zhu Mu's glasses.

"Huh?" Zhu Mu looked at Li Jing with wide eyes, and his mouth was so surprised that he couldn't close it, "She, didn't she commit suicide?" ”

Team Xiao narrowed his eyes: "You don't know? ”

Zhu Mu shook his head, and the fear in his eyes had not disappeared since just now: "The teacher told us that Cao Mei committed suicide, and we never went back to live in the dormitory because we were scared and we were about to graduate." I didn't dare to ask more about other things, and we always felt that it was better to know less about her. ”

Team Xiao nodded after listening: "I heard Li Jing say that after you saw Cao Mei's soul, your roommates died one after another. ”

Zhu Mu didn't hide it: "That's right, since I can see Cao Mei's soul, I have already had 3 roommates die, although the first roommate died of illness, but I believe that the death of the remaining two roommates is definitely not a coincidence." I feel like Cao Mei's ghost is taking revenge. ”

"Revenge?" Team Xiao asked, "Have you ever had a conflict with her?" ”

Zhu Mu didn't speak.

Team Xiao waited for a long time and didn't see Zhu Mu have the intention of speaking, so he said anxiously: "I hope you can explain all the things clearly, although the strange power is nonsense, but I am sure that someone is using the ghost and god chaos with ulterior motives to kill other people's lives." ”

Zhu Mu bit her lower lip, she could see the entanglement in her heart, she still didn't say anything: "No, we have not had any conflicts with her." ”

Liar, I thought to myself, only people with ghosts in their hearts will repeat the same words. It seems that they must have had an argument with Cao Mei.

Team Xiao saw that she didn't say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions, and changed the topic: "When you went out to play, did anyone leave halfway?" ”

Zhu Mu immediately said negatively: "No, we basically stay together all day, and it will be very conspicuous if someone leaves." ”

"You live together?" Li Jing asked.

Zhu Mu hesitated: "We went to the mountain to practice, so we stayed in the accommodation provided by the temple, and the 8 pilgrims lived in one room." Because we went just in time for the first day of the lunar calendar in that month, many people went to incense, and there were no empty rooms, so we were arranged in 2 separate rooms. Because we were a little shy, we didn't have a private room with other pilgrims. ”

Li Jing flipped through Zhu Mu's previous transcripts and asked, "That is, you didn't live together for two nights?" Who were you living with at the time? ”

"I was living with Han Yue, but she died last month." Sister Zhu Mu said a little sadly.

"Please mourn." Li Jing didn't ask anything after that.

After summing it up, Li Jing felt that in view of the current situation, it was dangerous for both of us to continue to live with me, so he first arranged for Zhu Mu to live in a guest house with police on duty, although the conditions were a little worse, but the safety was guaranteed. But because what Zhu Mu said was very terrifying, I didn't have the courage to go back to the apartment alone, so I wanted to go to the guest house with Zhu Mu's sister to live until it was safe.

"No play." Li Jing stopped me before I could finish my plan, "What are you running over to make trouble!" ”

"Then I don't have anywhere to go." I defended, "If I go back to live with my father, I will definitely be asked about Sister Xiao Mu, how can I help him cover up at that time." If I can't hold back and tell the truth, all of us in my family will have to worry about it. ”

"You go with me." Li Jing gave me a blank look.

I instantly felt my cheeks heat up, and I iced my cheeks with my hand: "No, what does it look like when it goes out?" ”

Li Jing looked at me like a monster: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Huh?"

"I mean, you and I go to a couple of places they used to visit, and we'll spend the night on the train today." If it is animated, there will definitely be several small crossroads in the corner of Li Jing's forehead.

"Haha." I smiled awkwardly, "The little one is going to buy a ticket." ”

Sister Zhu Mu and the place where they graduated were not very far from us, and I bought a ticket for the last flight today, although the first-class ticket price hurt me, but I was in a good mood when I thought that Li Jing paid out of his own pocket. As soon as Li Jing got on the train, he put on an eye patch and went into hibernation, and ten minutes later, as the train slowly started, I also entered a dream, in the dream I saw myself sitting on the side of the road, as if there was a person next to me, but I couldn't see the person's face clearly, I wanted to lean over and see the person's face clearly but found that I had jumped to another place, it was an underground passage, and when I walked to the exit, a hand suddenly stretched out to me. I woke up from my dream with a "wow" scream.

"Nightmare?" I heard someone talking to me next to me, and I turned my head to see Li Jing looking at me with a worried expression. He reached out to wipe the sweat from the corner of my forehead, and I realized that my forehead was covered in cold sweat. I didn't have the strength to speak, so I could only nod. Maybe the dream was too weird, or maybe it was because of the air conditioning in the train, I felt cold all over my body, so I wrapped my clothes. Li Jingguan asked for a blanket to help me cover it: "I won't arrive at the station for a while, you can rest for a while, your face is a little bad now." ”

I wiped my sweat and closed my eyes, but this time I didn't have any more nightmares and slept until I got to the station.

"Are you alright?" Li Jing asked worriedly, "My face is not particularly good now, otherwise we will rest first today." ”

"No, you don't." I waved my hand and said, "Don't waste time, if you can't know the truth earlier, Sister Xiao Mu will be scared to death." ’

"It's never too much to have breakfast, and now that we're going to the temple for morning classes, they shouldn't have time to help us when we get there." Li Jing didn't want me to say more, so he dragged me to a 24-hour snack bar.

I ordered custard buns and millet porridge, and after breakfast, I finally recovered from the decadent state just now: "Thank you." ”

Li Jing smiled and asked me, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”

I thought for a few seconds: "It's because you think Sister Xiao Mu is lying." ”

"It's not a lie, it's just hiding something from us."
