I read Wang Dongmei's diary from beginning to end before it was burned. It was not so much a diary as a prose essay, and there was no mention of anyone else in it except Gu Wei. There is a passage in which I am very impressed, saying that Gu Wei is a popular teacher, and she is lucky to be able to get together with Gu Wei, and her classmates will envy her.

When I saw this diary, I thought that this was the reason why rumors about Wang Dongmei and Gu Wei went viral in the school - jealousy between classmates. And now it seems that the person who spread this rumor may be Zheng Lili.

So I immediately took out the phone and dialed Gu Wei's number.

During the lunch break, Gu Wei's phone was easy to get through, and I asked him directly after reporting to my home if he knew Zheng Lili. Gu Wei recalled that Wang Dongmei had two very important female friends at school, one of whom seemed to be named Lili, but he couldn't remember it if it wasn't surnamed Zheng.

I asked Gu Wei again if he remembered the name of the other friend. Gu Wei recalled for a long time, and Zuihou replied that there seemed to be a "Wen" character in that person's name, and he completely forgot about it - after all, college is not as good as high school, and it is normal for teachers to not remember students' names.

After that, Gu Wei asked me if I had found anything, and asked Wang Dongmei's soul if it had been overachieved. Maybe it was because of the progress of the matter, I didn't rekindle the nameless fire with Gu Wei, I told him the progress of my side truthfully, and promised him that I would tell him when things had a result.

After hanging up the phone, I told Qiao Wei and Tang Hui the clues provided by Gu Wei. Tang Hui said that it was enough to have the word "Wen", and he had the list of students in Wang Dongmei's class that year, and he could find another person by comparing it.

I think since these three people are good friends, if there is any relationship between Wang Dongmei and Zheng Lili, then the other person will definitely know, maybe from her mouth can understand some unknown secrets.

After lunch, Qiao Wei and I followed Tang Hui back to his office, and then began to look for people on the list. There are three girls on the list who are related to "Wen", and the home addresses of these three people are all outside the province!

I tried to call the contact numbers on the file, and I was lucky enough to get in touch with two people, and although both people in question no longer live there, I still got the phone numbers of both people.

I immediately called these two people again.

They are not the people I am looking for, and I don't know very well what happened to Zheng Lili and Wang Dongmei. However, they all remember Wang Dongmei, and know that the names of the two most important friends with Wang Dongmei are Zheng Lili and Shang Jiawen - among them, Shang Jiawen is the only girl on the list who cannot be contacted and is related to "Wen".

The address of Shang Jiawen's archives is in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Although I had traveled to Liaoning a few days ago to find Wang Dongmei's father, I didn't have much hope of going to Zhengzhou to find an address from 16 years ago, especially when the phone number had become empty.

This line is broken here.

I gave myself a day off in the afternoon, because I didn't get a good night's sleep yesterday so I wanted to go home and make up for it. Qiao Wei was already so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting, but he still worked very hard to get some permanent buttons to put in my house and car, so that I don't have to worry about being harassed by ghosts anymore.

It's a pity that I didn't sleep very well, and my phone rang at three o'clock, and it was Shu Xin calling.

She said I hadn't been to her house in a long time and wanted me to come over for dinner and stay at her house. I knew she was worried about what was going on at home, so she wanted me to go to her parents' house to avoid it, but her parents might be nearby, so it was inconvenient for her to say it directly.

Since I knew that Shu Xin was well-intentioned, I naturally didn't refuse, although I didn't want to go - mainly because I was afraid to see Shu Xin's mother.

After hanging up the phone, I wanted to sleep for a while, but it was estimated that it was less than ten minutes before I lay down, and Qiao Wei's ghost howl rang from the study.

The call was from Tang Hui. In the afternoon, Tang Hui went to meet Zheng Cheng, Zheng Lili's brother, in a private capacity, and he tactfully told Zheng Cheng some of my speculations about the cause of Zheng Lili's death, and asked Zheng Lili if she had any dealings with ghost masters.

Zheng Cheng's answer was completely different from what I expected. Zheng Cheng said that he hadn't introduced any ghost things to Zheng Lili, and as for Qiao Wei's uncle Mr. Qi, it was because Mr. Qi and the Zheng family's parents had always cooperated, so Zheng Lili had known him for a long time.

Zheng Cheng said that the Zheng family believed in ghosts and other things, and he also knew that there were ghosts in the main building of the school, but no one in his family knew this kind of magic, and Zheng Lili would not use this to harm others.

In addition, Zheng Cheng insisted that Zheng Lili's death was related to Zhang Hongliang.

According to Zheng Cheng, Zheng Lili followed Zhang Hongliang just after graduating from university, Zheng Lili was only twenty-four at the time, and Zhang Hongliang was already in his forties.

The Zheng family's family relationship is a bit complicated. Zheng Lili's parents have long since divorced, Zheng Lili followed her mother, and Zheng Cheng followed her father. Although the Zheng family is rich in the entire Heilongjiang Province, Zheng Lili may not want to touch her father's light because of her mother's relationship, so she chose to "struggle" in her own way.

Zheng Cheng and Zheng Lili are still brother and sister after all, and they were very angry after knowing that their sister was the little lover of the principal, so they also approached Zhang Hongliang for theory. Later, Zhang Hongliang agreed to marry Zheng Lili, and promised to hand over all the campus reconstruction projects to Zheng Cheng in the future, which was considered to have extinguished Zheng Cheng's fire.

After that, Zhang Hongliang fulfilled his promise to the Zheng family to contract the project, but the marriage with Zheng Lili was delayed again and again. Seeing that Zheng Lili was over thirty years old and went to the fourth, but Zhang Hongliang always refused to get married, Zuihou Zheng Cheng and Zheng Lili finally fell out with Zhang Hongliang at the end of 2011.

In order to retaliate against Zhang Hongliang, Zheng Cheng began to help Zheng Lili work hard as the principal, and used the Zheng family's financial resources to actively pave the way for Zheng Lili to become the board of directors.

At the beginning of this year, Zhang Hongliang seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, and took the initiative to negotiate peace with Zheng Cheng and Zheng Lili, and promised to marry Zheng Lili this summer, hoping that they would not continue to force the palace. Zheng Cheng didn't want to eat Zhang Hongliang's set, but his sister Zheng Lili relented and agreed.

Since then, Zheng Lili has resumed dating Zhang Hongliang, but this date is still secret, and every time Zhang Hongliang calls Zheng Lili, he uses a prepaid calling card. This made Zheng Cheng very unaccustomed to this, but it was hard to say anything after his sister agreed with him.

Now that Zheng Lili committed suicide for no reason, and before she died, she received a call from a prepaid phone card, Zheng Cheng naturally thought of Zhang Hongliang. He felt that Zhang Hongliang had been thinking about getting rid of Zheng Lili and the Zheng family completely, so he adopted a delaying tactic at the beginning of the year, and then asked someone to use a ghost to harm Zheng Lili and jump off the building.

Because the matter involved some sensitive content and ghosts, Zheng Cheng did not choose to disclose this information to the police in the morning. Just because Tang Hui came in a private capacity, and he also mentioned Mr. Qi and ghosts, Zheng Cheng was willing to tell the truth and his suspicions.

Tang Hui's phone call gave birth to a new branch in the matter that was about to be closed by me.

Zheng Cheng's words are only one-sided, of course, I can't believe them all, but one point in time is enough to catch my attention. Zhang Hongliang and Zheng Lili fell out in 2011, and in the next 12 and 13 years, there were two consecutive incidents of female ghosts jumping off buildings.

Did Zheng Lili use ghost killings to force Zhang Hongliang to step down? Or is Zhang Hongliang planning to get rid of Zheng Lili completely and practice with school students? What is the connection between Wang Dongmei's ghost and Zheng Lili?

The pieces of a puzzle were in front of me, but I couldn't connect them for a moment, and there must be a key missing link.

What will that be? I'll have to use my brain, or just use my imagination to supplement it.
