Cattail Swing Cafe, a café not far from the school, is known for its mellow coffee and beautiful baristas, which I heard from my juniors.

And the driver, who upheld the true character of the gossip of the people of the capital, told me, "It's that café." I've heard of a traffic accident near the store. On a rainy day, the tires slipped, not to mention the serial car accidents, and I also encountered a psychopathic murderer, a man and a woman disappeared, and the bodies have not been found until now. It is said that after that, when you pass through there on a rainy day, you can hear the sound of a woman sobbing. Our peers had heard this kind of rumor before, so ...... It's going to be more. "I had to be slaughtered.

For Grandpa Mao's sake, the driver was praising the two of us all the way, and his eyes saw that we were boyfriend and girlfriend? When I categorically denied it, he actually said that the old god was there,

"Girl, you're going to have to hurry." He waved and smiled at the Shi Ling people who came over, "He probably belongs to the rare breed in this world - understanding, polite, very gentlemanly, and so good-looking." ”

Empathetic? Maybe. But his eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, which can make people uneasy; Sven polite? Truly! However, in essence, he invisibly maintains a cold relationship with people and refuses to approach anyone; Gentlemanly manners? That's right! But no matter how you look at it, it looks like rejecting people thousands of miles away; Handsome? Can it be eaten as a meal? Well, I'm a little hungry.

There were still ten minutes left before the agreed time, and Teacher Zhu Qi was already sitting on the edge of the door and looking around, and when she saw me coming in, she immediately beckoned.

"Hello Mr. Zhu!" After I sat down, I went straight to the point: "You said that there is news about Mu Tongtong, so what is happening to her now?" ”

Teacher Zhu Qi's face was solemn, and she didn't speak slowly until a pot of handmade coffee came up: "Actually, classmate Shuiyue, Mu Tongtong, I'm afraid she died a year ago......"

"Impossible!" I shook my head desperately, tears pouring out uncontrollably. Although she had a vague premonition in her heart, when the fact that "Mu Tongtong is dead" finally surfaced, she still found it difficult to accept: "You obviously said that she dropped out of school!" ”

"Yes." Teacher Zhu Qi nodded: "When you came to me that day, I began to find out that Mu Tongtong's withdrawal was very strange, so I investigated it privately...... Originally, after I understood the whole thing, considering the reputation of the school...... I shouldn't have told you, but Mu Tongtong is the most talented student I've ever taught, and I can't bear to say it. ”

"What happened a year ago?"

"That starts with the tube building......

Ms. Zhu is a native of the capital, and according to her, there was originally a mixed forest around the campus of Beijing Normal University. It's just that the big steel will be cut down, and some people will say that if you go through the woods and go inside, you can see a big house in the back.

No one knows who this building is and for what purpose. Anyway, just after liberation, there will be chaos, and many things have become headless public cases, anyway, it is now just a simple mansion, so the school also incorporated it into the campus when it was expanded, and the later tube building was built on its basis.

The average student doesn't notice this very much. But since a long time ago, there have been rumors that this mansion is haunted. Some people say that they once saw a figure in this mansion, but after chasing it, the person suddenly disappeared; Some people also say that when passing by this mansion, they will hear people shouting "help, help" in pain and struggle; Others say that instead of "help", he hears curse words such as "I'm going to kill you."

The rumors of this mansion are not limited to this. It is said that at the end of the building there is a "secret room" with an iron door and a deep lock.

No one knew what was in the room. Why? Because the people who saw it never came back.

Before the summer break that year, a few young female art students held a dormitory meeting in the dormitory. As he spoke, the topic turned to rumors in the university. They had all heard the rumor, but none of them had really confirmed it.

"Let's see if it's really haunted." Someone said.

Several girls, including Mu Tongtong, agreed with the proposal, so they sneaked into the campus at night. But when he returned, there was one man missing.

"Falling from a building?!" I was so excited that I felt like I was going to spill my coffee.

That's what they say, but after the school started, the security guards searched the entire building, inside and out, and did not find her body. I heard that similar situations had happened several times in the past, and there were no new clues after half a year, so I gave up. ”

"Then why do they say she's out of school?"

"I don't know the details...... However, if you report your disappearance and report it to the police, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of discussion and affect the reputation of the school. Teacher Zhu smiled bitterly and stopped, "The industrialization of education ......"

"Missing...... "Shi Lingren said with a smile like Gregory in "Roman Holiday", touching his sharp chin? Parker is a perfect gentleman, polite and a spring breeze...... But I think this guy with a bad taste is obviously enjoying the excitement of crime.

I always feel that with his involvement, things will not be so simple.

"Teacher Zhu Qi, do you know anything else?"

Teacher Zhu Qi shook his head: "I can't tell you anything more." I just think it's ...... that such an excellent girl died so inexplicably, and she couldn't even find her body."

It seems that Teacher Zhu Qi admires Mu Tongtong's talent, her voice is choked, her eyes are full of tears, this scene made me feel sad again, and I took a sip of cold coffee, bitterness replaced shock in my eyes.

The conversation lasted for an hour and a half, and most of the time Mr. Zhu Qi sighed, feeling and reminiscing about the good times of the year, and denouncing the declining world and the unancient people's hearts. When she got up to say goodbye, Shi Lingren, who had stood by and watched the whole time, suddenly stopped her: "Teacher Zhu Qi, can I ask one last question?" ”

"Say it."

"What else is there for you to talk to us and to us? It's not just righteous indignation or pity, is it? My intuition tells me that there must be something else hidden in this, just based on the words of a few of them, do you believe that Mu Tongtong really fell from the building? ”

Shi Lingren rubbed his face, tidied up his clothes a little, and finally said: "I have also been a counselor for a year, and the workplace is really a place where it is not easy to survive and die, but the current campus is not an ivory tower."

I've seen top students play out their brains for places abroad, and I've also heard that girls in the same dormitory are used to drug the upper bunk for scholarships. However, it is recognized that the relationship between students in the art department is the most complicated, often because of some art exhibition opportunities and exposure, jealousy and competition, coupled with the easy impulsiveness of age, and the crime of hurting people has also happened from time to time in the history of our school......

This Sven Teacher Zhu, you are not very good at lying. Who are you covering? Someone in the department? You're really great, teacher. How can today's teachers do such a thing as shielding their students even if they make their own situation unbearable? Although it is because it cherishes talents. However, even this is not something that ordinary people can do, right? ”

You know what I think, the killer is probably one of several girls, and I heard that girls are hostile to their roommates, and you can smell it with your nose, especially those artistic talents who make a living from flirtatiousness.

Others were either involved in the murder, or simply knew who the murderer of Mu Tongtong was, but covered up the matter. However, the murderer could not believe them, so he demanded their lives...... Yu Gongyin is the first one! And Mr. Zhu, you are probably also one of the insiders, otherwise why would you be on the scene? ”

"I just happened to meet Yu Gongyin" The café was very warm, but Mr. Zhu was a little nervous and hesitant. "Coincidentally? I remember they said that Mr. Zhu, you have a good family and bought a car very early. Need to take the commuter bus yourself?

Besides, we are in shifts, not in the administrative department. Why are you right there?"

In the face of Shi Lingren's aggressiveness, Mr. Zhu involuntarily shrank into the sofa and looked at me as if asking for help, I could only smile helplessly but sympathetically, no one can stop Shi Lingren in the state of criminal investigation films, and I need the truth more, otherwise Mu Tongtong will never be blind.

"Mr. Zhu, I plan to handle the whole matter very gentlemanly, otherwise I can take other methods, such as ...... Call the police, even if it is my crankiness, but people are terrible, and the pressure of the school will ......"

"Actually, it's not what you think." Teacher Zhu finally sighed and said the truth that surprised me. "Mu Tongtong is my most talented student, although most of her energy is spent on things that have nothing to do with her studies because of her appearance and personality. But he was born with talent, and he still pressed other girls down. If you study hard, she is far worse than Yu Gongyin......"

Yu Gongyin, who is also Mr. Zhu's protégé, everyone in today's society wants to make people hurt, because they are all only children, and in Mr. Zhu's eyes, this girl has a bad background, but she is determined to be self-reliant and always works very hard... That's how it should be. So she has become a teacher in a well-known studio before she graduates, and it stands to reason that she should be carefree, but now she feels depressed. Because......

"The child, like my mother, told me secretly that there had been strange events around her lately, and that an ominous premonition had haunted her......

For example, after the class, she packed up her painting tools, but she found a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on her seat! There was a piece of drawing paper standing in the center of the chrysanthemum, and what frightened her the most was the signature at the place where she was registered, which was a person who no longer existed more than half a year ago! ......" chattered, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but tremble, as the audience, we also felt the same way, as if a chill rushed to the door of the brain from the depths of the heart.

Sensing Mr. Zhu's emotional disorder, I endured my heart palpitations and asked, "Mr. Zhu, are you okay?" ”

Suddenly, a brisk ringing rang, pulling Teacher Zhu's thoughts back, and it turned out that Shi Ling was answering the mobile phone.

Doesn't this guy look at the occasion?

"Nuisance phone calls are so annoying, please continue."

"I'm a teacher, so I shouldn't have believed in ghosts, snakes, and gods...... But after rolling in this world for half my life, I became more and more skeptical...... Is there really karma in this world? Teacher Zhu muttered. Carefully take out a scroll of paper from your handbag, no, it's a copy of a painting! "The scroll spontaneously combusted as soon as it was opened, and it was drawn by the child based on a momentary memory."

The light was dim, but I could vaguely see the outline of a room. Broken furniture, dusty wooden floors, and a red shadow lying in the center of the floor...... Such a scene suddenly made me feel a sense of familiarity.

Just as she was trying to see what the red was, Teacher Zhu handed over the second piece of paper, she shook her head a little nervously, her breath was short, and her eyes were scattered. "The second one."

It's still the same photo just now, but the angle of copying is slightly different, so you can clearly see that the red is a woman in a wedding dress! She was lying prone on the grey floor, her long hair disheveled, a pool of dark red blood beneath her, and the pure white hem of her dress discolored by the viscous liquid......

"Ahh I let out a low scream, my heart rose and fell violently, my mind was filled with memories, it seemed that I was a little overwhelmed, my head was squeezed and painful, I stroked my forehead, and my eyes finally fixed on the bright red, as if I saw the woman's legs in the painting twitch slightly. Immediately afterward, the whole picture continued to enlarge in front of my eyes, and I saw the woman slowly get up from the floor, her bloodstained upper body straightened...... Suddenly, a very light voice said in my ear, "Shui Yue, you finally remember me!" ”

My pupils dilated, and I could finally see the face clearly! Is it Mu Tongtong? It's really her!

"Don't! No! "I just felt a blow to my heart, and suddenly Venus was in front of me. Before I fell into a coma, I faintly heard a man's vicious curse, "I will skin her, cut her in the waist, insert a needle, bury her alive, poison her, torture her with sticks, break her vertebrae, fill her with lead, and wash her!" Then let her wash the salt water, and the pain is unbearable! Do you want to see my mood in order! ”

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, it was already dark.

"You're finally awake." Shi Lingren's eyes were a little relieved.

A moment of hesitation appeared on his face, and he walked over and stood in front of me, and instead embraced me softly, his deep voice ringing above me. "Just now you suddenly fell into a coma and scared that teacher away...... tone was full of relief and sighing, "Fortunately, you finally woke up, otherwise the coffee shop waiter would have called the police." ”

Looking at his nervous and tired face, my heart twitched again and I sighed. "Isn't that convenient for you to do whatever you want?" Looking at him left and right, he couldn't stop the hallucination. All around me was silent black and white, except for a bright and blinding red that stayed around me...... A trip to the tube building, a damp and rotten room, a miserable and dead girl...... These memories haunt me as if they were real.

As Teacher Zhu said, those girls tried to make themselves forget, but the undead never let them go. Taking Yu Gongyin as an example, Teacher Zhu said that every time she came back from the studio recently, she suddenly turned around, and she felt the rotten breath behind her gradually approaching her, and even saw a girl in a pure white wedding dress, expressionless, staring at her with big eyes in a daze! Because of worry, Mr. Zhu made an appointment with a psychiatrist for her, and today was the appointed day, but she was a step late after all.

Presumably, she finally couldn't stand the pressure, and in a panic, she rushed onto the overpass and jumped down...... A tram followed, speeding past her young body......

The capital, which is close to the middle of the night, finally has a hint of autumn coolness.

"I see, there really is a ghost ......" I muttered to myself, suddenly I found that I was still leaning on someone's arms, and quickly stood firm, only to feel a fever on my face.

"It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, it's easy to paint a ghost, it's hard to draw a person, I don't have any expectations for the authenticity of her words."

Shi Ling didn't seem to notice my resistance, and still yawned lazily like that, and said meaningfully.

"Why do you want to deny everyone?"

"Can you trust everybody?"

"I believe in people other than you."

"It's my pleasure."

Shi Lingren didn't care about my sarcasm in the slightest, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and made a call.

"Ah, Detective? Drive slowly, I have something I want to ask you......"

After connecting, Shi Ling began to talk on the phone.

I couldn't hear each other's voices, but I could get a general idea of what they were talking about. "Yes, this Yue Moye, although he didn't like to show his face before his death, and he didn't make the pig killing list, he was a rich man with strong financial resources. What the? You transferred the old files, and his ancestors were big landlords, black five categories. The current mansion is built in imitation of the ancestral house in the countryside, where is his hometown, Black Dragon Pond? Are you sure? ”

"What about the direction of detection? Oh. A gag order on it? …… So, do you suspect that the murderer is his family and is fighting for the inheritance? "The voice in the microphone is like a loss." Don't be an official to me, what do you say, we did doubt it at the beginning...... The truth is still unclear or something...... That is to say, by the time you rushed to Yue's house, the scene was already a sea of fire, and there was nothing left. And all relatives have alibi. "I think of the ruins of the fire and the fire truck I encountered on the road, it can't be so coincidental, right?

"I talked about a bunch of selling things earlier, but it turned out to be nothing at all. - Before I talk about this, I want to ask you to help me find someone...... Hey, wait a minute, don't be in a hurry to refuse, when you listen to me, you'll want to help find her.

While lamenting the fate of being haunted by this paranoia, I listened carefully to the woman's delicate voice in the microphone, "There is a girl in our school who suddenly terminated her contract with the property company a year ago and then disappeared. ”

The person on the other side laughed: "It can't be your little girlfriend, right?" What could happen to her? Don't be nervous, aren't young girls like this a lot? Don't you really believe that the streets are full of serial killers with kitchen knives, as those unscrupulous reporters say? ”

"People from the property company said that her house had been haunted by middle-aged men. Today we went to the girl's former residence and found something interesting. "Mu Tongtong - he's talking about Mu Tongtong.

"What is it? Photo album or voodoo doll? Her laughter came from the phone at the same time, and I thought it was more and more ridiculous.

"A photo of her and her boyfriend, an old husband and a young wife, white hair and red face."

"What's all the fuss about, don't you know that gentlemen nowadays like to start with dolls?"

Shi Lingren suddenly asked calmly. "What if I say that the person who took the photo with her was Yue Moye? So you still don't want to hear it? ”

"What? It turned out that she was Yue Moye's legendary mistress! At the same time, there was a slight bump in the microphone, presumably the sound of running into something while driving.

"The truth is still unclear, but I can assure you that this is not unrelated to the case you are investigating."

After saying the request this time, Shi Lingren hung up the phone. "After all that, I'm dying of thirst, so let's calm down and try this coffee."

I raised my eyebrows slightly, not commenting, and watched as he looked at the menu and ordered a railroad bento and iced coffee. After the waiter left, he asked me, "You have a good appetite, can you eat?" ”

I still ignored it, relaxed my stiff body, sat down lazily, ordered another cup of coffee, and raised my eyes to see Shi Lingren's weird smile and couldn't help but feel creepy, "Do you know that your expression looks like a big man picking your feet?" Big deal, I'll ask you to ......"

"You don't need a poor student to slap your swollen face and make a lot of money, this time you have to pay the bill." Shi Lingren took a sip of coffee and said, "If she wants to solve the case on the cusp, why not show some sincerity?" "He's starting to talk about it again, and it's me who hasn't woken up yet.

My body stiffened again. At this time, is it better to run with your legs pulled?
