Because of Gu Song and Xia Shi's insistence, coupled with Director Xia's personal use of some interpersonal relationships, at noon the next day, Mu Zi left the criminal police team smoothly.

Affected by this incident, Mu Zi had no intention of going back to school at all. She didn't have to think about it to know that there must be rumors everywhere in the school that she was the murderer of Ling Xiang. She was afraid to face the surging tide of gossip, and she was afraid that her classmates would look at her like a stranger. Going back to school now is tantamount to a painful ordeal for her, and this time the torment is simply unbearable compared to the previous ones.

Walking out of the gate of the criminal police team and looking at the streets with cars and people, Mu Zi felt very confused. She didn't know where she was going or what to do with her life.

There is still more than a month to take the college entrance examination, and she gritted her teeth and insisted on waiting for such a moment that could change her fate. But because of the creation of people, her life has gone to an unprecedented trough. She felt like she was really defeated by life this time. She looked at the cliff above her head, and had neither the courage nor the strength to climb back to where she had fallen.

Am I henceforth to be a lowly clown, wandering alone in the abyss? Can I only accept the tricks of fate, and never see the light again?

Just when Mu Zi was thinking nonsense at the door of the criminal police team, the door of a blue Hyundai car parked on the side of the road was opened. A handsome young man got out of the car, called out her name, and waved at her, meaning to let her pass.

Mu Zi couldn't react for a while. She didn't know the man at all, but she always felt that the other person was a little familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

After a moment of stalemate, Mu Zi slowly walked towards the car and asked vigilantly, "Are you calling me?" ”

The man nodded, smiled at her, and then took out a document from his pocket and said, "Hello, I'm Gu Song from the Criminal Police Detachment of R City." We met in a hurry last night, do you remember? ”

Mu Zi frowned, carefully searched the memories in his mind, and suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization, "Oh, I remembered." When I was taken away by the police last night, you and Brother Xia Shi were standing together. ”

"That's right, I'm a colleague of Xia Shi."

After figuring out the identity of the other party, Mu Zi's mood relaxed a little. However, she still didn't quite understand the other party's intentions. "Officer Gu, do you have anything to do with me?" Mu Zi asked tentatively.

"Let's find a place to talk, it's time for lunch anyway."

Ten minutes later, Gu Song took Mu Zi to a quiet café and found a booth with a partition and sat down. Because it was the first official meeting, Mu Zi seemed very restrained. She looked down at the menu, peeking at Gu Song from time to time, completely unable to understand what the other party was thinking. However, the people from the criminal police team came to her at this time, so it should have something to do with last night's case.

Mu Zi didn't have much appetite, and after looking at the menu for a long time, he only ordered one cheese pasta. Gu Song was afraid that she would be polite and let her order whatever she liked, but she shook her head and said that she was not very hungry.

"Muzi, don't be nervous." After the waiter took the menu away, Gu Song hurriedly comforted Mu Zi and said, "I didn't come to you today for the case." How about you just think it's a regular date and the two of us just chat? ”

"Dating?" Mu Zi felt even more inexplicable.

"You want to." Gu Song explained to her with a smile, "If I hadn't gone to pick you up from the criminal police team just now, you would definitely be wandering aimlessly on the street by yourself now." You are so afraid of the gossip in school, so you want to escape from the sea of suffering, today's class will definitely skip today. Although your academic performance is already very good, it doesn't matter if you don't go to school from now on, it shouldn't be a problem for you to get into a major university. However, I always feel that good students should still sit in the classroom and review, and skipping class is not something a child like you should do. ”

"I'm ......" Mu Zi looked at Gu Song in surprise, but he didn't expect that the other party came to persuade her to go to school. It's certainly not the job of the police, but why......

"I was asked to come here in the summer." Before Mu Zi could open her mouth to ask a question, Gu Song answered the question in her heart first. "We can all understand your feelings now, after all, being framed and treated as a murderer is something that no one can accept and feel humiliated and angry about. Xia Shi was afraid that you would not be able to cope with the sudden changes in life, and that you would be defeated by difficulties, so I was specially asked to enlighten you. You should understand that he is a bit cold, even if he cares about anyone, he will not say it directly, so he is afraid that he will only make the atmosphere more serious. ”

Mu Ziwei smiled, and there was a warmth in his heart. Although she had only a handful of contacts with Xia Shi, she knew that Xia Shi was indeed that kind of person.

In fact, at such a time, someone can believe that she did not kill anyone, which is the greatest encouragement and support for her. Thinking of this, she said to Gu Song gratefully: "Thanks to your help, otherwise I would still be locked up in that dark interrogation room now." ”

"You're welcome, that's what we should do." Gu Song waved his hand, and then reminded her, "Your suspicion has not been ruled out. If you find out in the last few days that someone is stalking you and spying on you, don't worry or be afraid, just do what you have to do. ”

"I understand......" Muzi took a sip of water and turned his head to look out the window. Compared with when she first came out of the criminal police team, her mood is not so bad. The world before her was once again stained with a glimmer of brilliance, and although she was still standing in the deep valley, bruised and bruised, the cliff above her no longer seemed so far away and no longer discouraged her.

After a while, Mu Zi turned his head and looked at Gu Song's gentle and clear eyes for the first time and said, "Officer Gu, thank you, I feel much better when I chatted with you." ”

"So what." Gu Song smiled with satisfaction, "After lunch in a while, I'll send you back to school directly?" ”

"But......" Mu Zi hesitated. Thinking about the gossip she had to face when she returned to school, and the pointing and pointing of her classmates, she still lacked some courage. Compared to her peers, she felt that her mental capacity was extraordinary, but she was not sure if she would really be able to persevere in the face of a storm that was more violent than before.

"Muzi, escaping won't solve any problem. There are times when the human heart can be so strong that you can't imagine it. When you feel like you may not be able to hold on, it's nowhere near your limit. There was a time when I was on a mission in a very terrible place, in danger of being killed at any moment. At the time, I felt like I had been abandoned by the world. There were many times when I thought about giving up, but I persevered and came back alive. So ......"

"I see." Mu Zi gritted his teeth and said with determination, "I'll go back to school." Even if everyone thinks I'm a murderer, as long as you believe me, I have nothing to fear. ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Zi returned to the No. 1 Experimental Middle School of R City under the escort of Gu Song.

Facing the surprised eyes of his classmates, Mu Zi bravely stepped into the classroom of the second class of the third year. She looked at Ling Xiang's empty table and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Although she had cursed the girl who had hurt her deeply a thousand times and would not die well, when Ling Xiang had really disappeared from her life forever, her heart did not feel relaxed at all. Wishing for a person to die and actually killing a person are two completely different concepts. No matter how much Mu Zi hated Ling Xiang, it was impossible for her to kill a girl of the same age who had been with her for three years.

Mu Zi couldn't help but ask this question in his heart: Who is it that hates me so much? Why don't you just kill me? Why take revenge on me in such a way? Do you not want me to die, but to plunge me into endless pain and darkness, and life is better than death?

It's a pity that your wishful thinking was wrong. I'm not going to go to jail as you want, I'm not going to be the prisoner you want to see. I will not give up the opportunity to come to school, and I will not indulge in despair and collapse. I'm not as vulnerable as you think, and my life is far from the time to give up.

I will always remember Officer Gu's words, his encouraging eyes, and his warm smile. I also want to know where my limits are. If I can bravely persevere, then this cruel war is my victory. And you, sooner or later, will be caught by the police.

You are responsible for Ling Xiang's death, and you are responsible for hurting me so deeply. You should be the one who deserves to go to jail. And I just want to be a bystander, smiling and watching you being handcuffed by the police and sent to the police car.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Song and Xia Shi returned to the city bureau on time to report. They took time out of their busy schedules to complete the aftermath of the "April 13 Campus Homicide Case". Mu Zi and Xia Jinyu's emotions have been properly appeased, and I believe that the two children can walk out of the shadow brought to them by this case strongly.

The criminal police team did not completely rule out Mu Zi's suspicion of committing the crime, but after listening to Gu Song and Xia Shi's suggestions, they were also seizing the time to investigate the suspicion of other high school juniors. In addition, Jiang Xiaoyan's social connections are also the focus of this investigation. Because Gu Song always believed that the murderer who framed Mu Zi must have an extraordinary relationship with Jiang Xiaoyan.

Regarding the investigation of the "April 7 homicide", the case has reached an impasse. Without new clues, they had no way to get the "Night Killer". The case was temporarily handed over to Zhao Xiaolin and Meng Yu. The two newcomers obviously didn't have much confidence in capturing the "Night Killer", but Gu Song encouraged them and said, "This is a great opportunity for you. Get some motivation and show that bastard how good our criminal police detachment is. ”

Zhao Xiaolin replied with a wry smile: "Brother Song, you and Brother Xia Shi can't catch the cunning murderer, how can we be his opponents." ”

"Xiaolin, are you a little more confident, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

"Of course I didn't."

"That's good, I'm looking forward to your performance."

The reason why the homicide case was handed over to others was because Gu Song and Xia Shi had more important tasks to complete. Rather than human trafficker killers, the leaders are more concerned about the human trafficker gang lurking in R City. Although the clues on the side of the baby theft gang were temporarily interrupted, the three suspects in the girl abduction case confessed some important information.

For the police, their top priority is to find a way to get close to Brother Yu in the criminal gang and find out the true whereabouts of the abducted girl, so that they can carry out the next rescue operation.

Considering Brother Yu's personality characteristics, life experience, and his special relationship with the police, the leaders decided to send an undercover agent to replace the members of the gang and lurk by Brother Yu's side.

The specific implementation method is as follows:

Of the three suspects who were arrested, Lily, Ah Fei and Xiao Hai, only Xiao Hai had face-to-face contact with Brother Yu, and Lily and Ah Fei were all friends found by Xiao Hai. Taking advantage of the fact that Brother Yu had never seen Ah Fei, the police could replace Ah Fei with their own people.

Xiaohai has agreed to cooperate with the police and find a way to introduce "Ah Fei" to Brother Yu. In fact, the police have more handles in Xiaohai's hands, and he has no better choice than to obey the police's arrangement.

It can be said that it is not difficult to send an undercover agent, but it is a more dangerous thing to lurk around someone like Brother Yu.

After considering many factors, Director Xia believes that the most suitable candidate for this task is Gu Song, a member of the criminal police team who has quick reactions, excellent skills, and has played a perverted murderer in an underground prison.
