"It wasn't his fault! It's not his fault! Qi Baye said excitedly, "That kid just wants to take the fault on himself!" He wanted to do good, and it wasn't his fault! ”

Fu Mingwei sat down again and looked at Qi Baye opposite: "That's not a wrong thing, it's a bad thing, a bad thing can be saved, but most of the time a bad thing can't be saved." ”

Fu Mingwei tried his best to be ambiguous, because he didn't know what happened back then, in case he accidentally said something, it would make Qi Baye realize that Pan Feng was not arrested, he was just talking, and then his efforts would be wasted.

"He didn't kill people!" Qi Baye got up and grabbed Fu Mingwei's hands on the table opposite, "What's more, Xia Jiezhu is his first love, and he is a kind child, how could he do that kind thing?" ”

Homicide? Xia Jiezhu? Although Fu Mingwei sat there expressionless and silent, the original suspicion in his heart became thicker. Yes, the instinct of being a detective for many years made him realize that what happened back then might be a homicide, but at the same time he hoped that he was wrong.

Fu Mingwei slowly took his hand away: "How do you know that he didn't kill people?" If he didn't kill it, why did he ......"

Fu Mingwei deliberately said half of his words, in fact, he didn't know what to say after the three words "why", it was just a strategy, but Fu Mingwei, who was extremely calm and could even be said to be ruthless, couldn't perfectly use his past strategies when facing Qi Baye at this time, and there was a sense of uneasiness that haunted his whole body, as if some strange creature was devouring his whole body.

Fu Mingwei is very conflicted now, he wants to solve the case immediately, but he is even more afraid of knowing the truth, because he realizes that the truth may be far more terrifying than he thought.

"He and Xia Jiezhu grew up together in an orphanage, childhood sweethearts, they have supported and taken care of each other since they were children, it is impossible for him to do that kind of thing! Please, believe me, okay? "Qi Baye was so anxious that he didn't know what to say.

Fu Mingwei opened the transcript and said: "If you want to save him, it's simple, tell me what you know, I have to integrate the testimony from all sides, so as to judge who killed the person and who has something to do with it, now, let's start." ”

Qi Baye sat there dumbfounded: "When I arrived that day, everything was late......

That night that year, when Qi Baye received a call from Pan Feng, drove to the school, and according to Pan Feng's instructions, climbed over the wall from the outer wall and quietly touched the studio, the first thing he saw was Xia Jiezhu lying in a pool of blood, and Pan Feng, who was kneeling next to him, his hands were full of blood, and he was opening his mouth and making a low "ahh

"Wait-" Fu Mingwei interrupted Qi Baye's recollection, "You first talk about Xia Jiezhu's information, the information you know, I have to use the information you provided to compare what I have already obtained." ”

"Xia Jiezhu is several years older than Pan Feng, and she is also an orphan, but she came late, Pan Feng was sent to the orphanage when she was more than 3 years old, and when Xia Jiezhu arrived at the orphanage, she was already 7 years old, in addition to being mute, she also has congenital night blindness, that is, in addition to being able to see things under the premise of sufficient light, a little darker, she is no different from a blind person." Qi Baye stared at the table, trying to control his emotions, "No, to be precise, they are not orphans, they are outcasts, orphans refer to those whose parents are dead, and those who do not have any relatives in the world are called orphans, they are abandoned children." ”

Fu Mingwei stared at the transcript and said calmly: "She and Pan Feng are lovers?" ”

"Almost, anyway, I know that Pan Feng likes Xia Jiezhu very much." Qi Baye said simply, "I don't know the specifics, but Pan Feng often mentions Xia Jiezhu to me, it should be said that he usually talks the most about Xia Jiezhu, he said that he will have a future in the future, and he will definitely cure Xia Jiezhu's eyes, even if she can't speak, she must be allowed to have a pair of normal eyes." ”

"Okay, let's go ahead and see how things happened that night." Fu Mingwei raised his eyes and looked at Qi Baye.

Qi Baye took a deep breath: "I was stunned for a long time after I arrived, and quickly asked what was going on, Pan Feng was just crying, begging me to save Xia Jiezhu, I actually knew that there was so much blood, Xia Jiezhu definitely had no way to save her, but I didn't know where she was injured, and I didn't dare to look at the body, my first reaction was to call the police, when I took out the phone, Principal Ding came, and with him were Wang Litian, Liu Da and Mu Cong, they were all panicked, But judging from the performance of Wang Litian and the others, they were with Pan Feng before, and after the incident, they hurriedly went to find Ding Wei......"

Qi Baye stood there with the phone, watching Ding Wei, who looked frightened, slowly step forward, while the other three just stood at the door, watching dumbfounded.

Fu Mingwei frowned: "It was night, there were people in the studio, the school security guards or something, they must be able to see it, right?" With so many people and such a big movement, how can you hide it? ”

"The studio didn't turn on the lights, I said before, I went in over the wall, and the location of the wall was told to me by Pan Feng, he used to go out from there over the wall, it was half past two in the morning, and everyone else should have fallen asleep." Qi Baye shook his head as he spoke, "Actually, I don't know about the other situations, I don't know what's going on at all, but Ding Wei begged me not to call the police." ”

Ding Wei called Qi Baye to the side and pleaded in a low voice: "Eighth Master, I have a reluctant request, don't call the police, we will solve this matter ourselves." ”

Qi Baye, who was still in shock, looked at Xia Jiezhu's corpse and said, "When the person is dead, you still want to deal with it yourself?" ”

Ding Wei glanced at Pan Feng, who was still sitting stupidly in front of Xia Jiezhu's corpse, and then turned back and pointed at Wang Litian and the others: "Eighth Master, look at these children, and then think about other children, if the police know that these things have happened, the school may be closed because of this, it doesn't matter to me and Yulan, but what about the children here?" Even if they go to the next school, they will have to start from scratch and readjust to the environment, knowing that the youngest child in the orphanage is just over 1 year old! ”

Qi Baye frowned: "You also said that it may be closed, but it may not be closed!" ”

Ding Wei dragged Qi Baye to the corner: "Eighth Master, how do you think Xia Jiezhu died?" ”

This question hit the most vulnerable place in Qi Baye's heart at once, right, how did Xia Jiezhu die? Qi Baye's gaze swept from Wang Litian, Liu Da and Mu Cong one by one, and finally stopped at Pan Feng's body, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he knew that Ding Wei's words made sense, if the incident happened, the orphanage and the special school would be finished, and the children would be finished.

Fu Mingwei quickly recorded Qi Baye's memories and asked, "Then the five of you disposed of Xia Jiezhu's body?" How to transport the corpse? How do you deal with it? ”

Qi Baye raised his head and said, "Ding Wei deliberately turned off the security guard, let me and Pan Feng take the corpse and transport it away in my car, and he stayed behind to deal with the scene with the other three people." ”

"Where did you take the body?" Fu Mingwei asked.

Qi Baye replied: "Take it to the riverside wetland and bury it." ”

Fu Mingwei took out the folding map directly from his pocket: "Point to the approximate location on the map, and then talk about how deep you have dug and the detailed situation." ”

After Qi Baye explained one by one, Fu Mingwei immediately asked Qi Baye to sign and stamp his handprint on the transcript one by one, and then put away the transcript and got up and said: "If you still think of anything, tell my colleagues immediately, I have to leave in advance, you are also ready, I will immediately take you to the burial site to identify." ”

Qi Baye looked at Fu Mingwei and said, "Officer! The person really wasn't killed by Pan Feng, it wasn't killed by him, it's none of his business! ”

Fu Mingwei didn't answer, opened the door and left, let his colleagues into the house, and after standing outside and smoking two cigarettes, he turned around and entered Ding Wei's interrogation room.

Ding Wei was still sitting there sluggishly, Fu Mingwei walked straight behind him, leaned against the wall and said three words: "Xia Jiezhu!" ”

Ding Wei was obviously stunned, and made a gesture to turn his head to look at Fu Mingwei, but his head twisted half and turned back, still silent.

Fu Mingwei didn't ask him anymore, but said: "Ding Wei, you have one more crime, I will ask someone to send a copy of the Criminal Law in later, you flip through it, check it, and see if you are sentenced to life imprisonment or death." ”

After speaking, Fu Mingwei left, and walked straight into the interrogation room where Wang Yulan was, and after his colleagues left, Fu Mingwei recounted what he heard from Qi Baye, and then said: "Wang Yulan, you don't know about this matter, no one believes it." You are the head of a school, one of your students is missing, outsiders may not know, but the teacher must know, the teacher has to report this matter to you, and you will definitely track it down, I think, when you were about to track down or call the police, Ding Wei stopped you, told the truth of the matter, and asked you to conceal it, this is the truth, but I believe that things are far from so simple. ”

Things are definitely not so simple, if the motive is only like this, there is no need for Pan Feng to go around such a big circle. At this time, Fu Mingwei was almost certain that everything Pan Feng had done before not only had his special reasons, but also had to achieve a purpose, that is, to force Wang Yulan to report to the police that he, Wang Litian, Liu Da and Mu Cong were missing, so that the police could get clues and immediately investigate all the relevant cases, including the murder case in the school studio that year.

In other words, if Wang Yulan had not called the police, they would have found out the identity of the body at the fire scene, and it would definitely not have been so fast.

Wang Yulan sat there and shook her head blankly: "I don't know how Xia Jiezhu died, I love that child very much, I love all the children in the orphanage and the school, just as I love my own biological children." ”

Fu Mingwei's hand holding the pen trembled: "Wang Yulan, do you really love those poor children?" If you really love them, then you ......"

"I love them! I love them more than anything else! Wang Yulan suddenly raised her voice to interrupt Fu Mingwei's words, the criminal police outside the door thought something was wrong, and immediately opened the door, Fu Mingwei raised his hand to stop them from coming in, the criminal police glanced at Wang Yulan, and then closed the door.

Fu Mingwei looked directly into Wang Yulan's eyes, and Wang Yulan's lips trembled: "Poor? Are they pitiful? You don't use the word pity on them, they are cute, not pitiful, why should I run an orphanage, why should I run a special school, I just don't want them to feel pitiful themselves, I don't want others to think they are pitiful! ”

Fu Mingwei said slowly: "Yes, you are right, but if you do that, you will turn them into poor children." Word of your arrest will soon spread, and everyone will think that those children are pitiful to have a school leader like you. ”

Wang Yulan lowered her head and trembled, and only raised her head for a long time and said a person's name: "Ji Dewu, it's Ji Dewu's fault." ”

Fu Mingwei was shocked, and a chill instantly filled his body: "Ji Dewu!?" What does this matter have to do with Ji Dewu? ”

"Xia Jiezhu is Ji Dewu's most proud student, Ji Dewu is a genius, and so is Xia Jiezhu, but I know that Xia Jiezhu likes her as a teacher very much." Wang Yulan's voice was so low that Fu Mingwei had to stand up and walk to her to listen.

Wang Yulan then said: "I found out about this a long time ago, I talked to Xia Jiezhu, but Xia Jiezhu laughs every time, I know that kind of smile, that is the smile that only a woman in love can have, she is in love and in love with Ji Dewu." ”

Fu Mingwei stood on the slope of Wang Yulan, looking at the woman's side face, he was judging whether Wang Yulan was telling the truth or a lie, whether there was any other purpose, and at the same time, he also thought of Ji Dewu's broken fingers in his mind, plus what Qi Baye said - if Pan Feng has always had a crush on Xia Jiezhu, and the person Xia Jiezhu loves is Ji Dewu, assuming that the real murderer is Ji Dewu, then it makes sense that Pan Feng broke Ji Dewu's ten fingers later, and Ji Dewu didn't dare to tell the truth because he killed Xia Jiezhu, It all makes sense that it eventually leads to a nervous breakdown.

But the most critical thing is that judging by Pan Feng's code of conduct, he should have killed Ji Dewu, not just cut off his ten fingers, could it be that Pan Feng just wanted to use the most cruel means to deal with Ji Dewu, punish his body at the same time, and destroy his mind?

Fu Mingwei thought of this and asked, "How did Xia Jiezhu die?" Who killed it? ”

Wang Yulan shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

"Don't say sorry to me, say sorry to the kids you love so much." Fu Mingwei also shook his head and said, walked to the door after speaking, and asked again, "Ask you again, how did Xia Jiezhu die?" ”

Wang Yulan shook her head, tears rolling out of her eyes.

Fu Mingwei went out, Dong Guozhi immediately greeted him, Fu Mingwei said: "Get ready, take Qi Baye to the riverside to see the place where the body is buried." ”

Dong Guozhi nodded, and immediately called someone to notify the procuratorate, and at the same time prepared the vehicle, some things can no longer wait.

Fu Mingwei entered Ding Wei's interrogation room again, walked straight to Ding Wei's side, and asked, "I'll just ask you one thing, how did Xia Jiezhu die?" I didn't ask you who killed him, I just wanted to know, where was her injury? To put it simply, where does the blood come from? ”

Ding Wei shook his head: "I didn't look at it carefully at all, maybe Qi Baye and Pan Feng knew." ”

Fu Mingwei frowned: "You don't know anything?" ”

Ding Wei shook his head, Fu Mingwei sneered, closed his eyes, and turned to leave.

After going to the riverside burial site, Fu Mingwei and his colleagues began to excavate at the location that Qi Baye said, and at the same time of excavation, Fu Mingwei asked Qi Baye again about the cause of Xia Jiezhu's death, and Qi Baye's answer was: "The person holding Xia Jiezhu's body along the way is Pan Feng, and he doesn't let others touch it, so I don't know, but the wound must be very deep, and the injury is critical, because there is so much blood, I always feel that her blood seems to stain the whole studio red......"

After listening to this, Fu Mingwei didn't say a word, just looked at the burial site that was being excavated in the distance outside the car window.

If you don't solve the cause of Xia Jiezhu's death, the truth that originally surfaced will be dragged back by the strange hand hidden in the water again, but who is the owner of that strange hand?

In the underground prison, the three torturers who had slipped to the bottom of the prison were doing their own things, He Chenxue was wearing a headlamp and had been looking through the leather shell, reading the words on it with difficulty, although there were many "dialects" She could only guess, and the torture was next to the cells on both sides of the first floor one by one, trying to find some other clues, and at the same time he didn't understand why Hu Sanqian always walked back and forth, striding around, and walking around with small broken steps, still holding a compass that didn't work at all, From time to time, I would make a mark with chalk on the ground.

After rummaging through the torture techniques, he filled a bag of things he found, walked up to He Chenxue and asked, "How are you reading?" ”

"Seven, seven, eight, eight, I still have a few pages to read, and I only now realize that I haven't lost all my Russian language." He Chenxue didn't turn her head to look at the torture.

Xingshu nodded, looked at Hu Sanqian, who was measuring the ground in the distance, and shouted: "Sanqian, rest, what are you doing?" ”

Hu Sanqian didn't speak, and after a few minutes, he put away his things and walked over, sitting next to the two of them: "This is not just a prison. ”

The torturer immediately asked, "What do you mean?" He Chenxue also turned her head to look at Hu Sanqian.

Hu Sanqian pointed to the cells and said: "This is not a cell, it is a sitting cave, also called a fixed cave." ”

The torture technique was stunned for a moment, subconsciously got up, and turned to look at the so-called cell behind him: "When you say this, I think about it, it really looks like sitting in a cave, but sitting in a cave is very rare." ”

He Chenxue also nodded and said: "I also know this, but some of the places where the caves are recorded in the classics have long disappeared, there is a temple in Henan that once had a cave on the stone wall, but it was destroyed in the Anti-Japanese War, and then almost no such place was found, and later someone specialized in studying some of the caves of Buddhism, thinking that there may be a connection, but later it was found that there was no connection, almost a mystery." ”

"It's not a mystery." Hu Sanqian looked at the sitting cave opposite, "Normally, the sitting cave should not see the light, and generally speaking, there are two major types, one is Taoism, the other is Buddhism, but as for who comes first and who comes after, I don't know, but the role of the two religions is similar, first, it is similar to the place where the wall has been thought, and second, it is used to become an immortal and become a Buddha." ”

He Chenxue was puzzled: "Become an immortal and become a Buddha? ”
