"Officer Zeng... Then what happened back then..."Before I finished asking my question, Officer Zeng had already waved his hand at me and said, "I'll go back first to confirm the identity of 'him', if it's really Lin Zihui, I'll still look for you!" With that, he hurried away.

I was stunned for a while, and Xiao Hei, who had been standing next to me and waiting for me, came over and patted me, and said, "What are you thinking?" I really didn't expect that Officer Zeng also graduated from the police academy. ”

It seems that Xiao Hei heard my conversation with Officer Zeng on the side, and he saved me from explaining to him. After a pause, I asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

Xiao Hei said, "What can I think? We fulfilled Xiaolan's wish, and we can be regarded as doing a good deed. As for the relationship between Lin Zihui and Officer Zeng... At least now he doesn't think you have anything to do with the corpse's death, does he? ”

I nodded, it was more than ten years ago, Zeng Yi would never doubt me anymore. As for the part I said about ghosts, I don't know if he believed it or not. The people on the edge of the willow lake were almost scattered, and Xiao Hei and I also walked back to the dormitory. In the afternoon, I went to class, which was Vice President He's criminal investigation traces. He glared at me and Hei Hei, didn't say anything, and taught as usual.

In the evening, I came to Xiaolan Lake, Xiaobai was beside me, but I couldn't see her. Hu Xiaolan floated on the surface of the water just like last time. I told them about the day, and Hu Xiaolan bowed to me to show her gratitude.

Looking at Hu Xiaolan standing quietly in front of me, I was full of doubts in my heart, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiaolan, is your boyfriend's name Lin Zihui?" ”

Hu Xiaolan trembled and muttered, "Zihui... Zihui...", and nodded.

I asked, "How could his body be in Willow Lake?" I've heard... He drowned in this lake..."

Hu Xiaolan shook her head and said, "I don't know. ”

Looking at Hu Xiaolan's appearance, she is indeed unaware. When she committed suicide by jumping into Xiaolan Lake, Lin Zihui was already dead.

I was a little disappointed, thought about it, took out a small circle wrapped in a tissue from my pocket, opened the tissue, revealing the small black circle inside, and said, "In Lin Zihui's hand, I found this, and he was holding it tightly at that time. Xiaolan, can you help me see, is it something important? If so, I'll have to think of sending it back to his parents..."

Before I could finish speaking, a gust of wind blew in my face. Hu Xiaolan, who was standing quietly in the distance, suddenly stood in front of me, staring closely at the small black circle in my hand. I couldn't see her face covered by her long hair, and I couldn't see her expression, but judging by her violently trembling figure, and the coldness that was becoming more and more evident in me, she was now in a state of extreme agitation.

"He... He ended up ......"

Hu Xiaolan's figure trembled, and the phantom shadow gradually disappeared in front of my eyes.

I held the small black circle, stunned and speechless.

What's going on? What happened to Hu Xiaolan?

"Ugh..."

Xiaobai's sigh brought me back to my senses, and I asked, "Xiaobai, where is Xiaolan?" ”

Xiaobai replied: "Her wish has been fulfilled, and the time has come." Naturally, he was reincarnated. ”

I said helplessly: "Why are you in such a hurry? She hasn't answered my question yet? ”

Xiaobai said: "People and ghosts have their own lives, and no one can change them. ”

I looked at the small circle in my hand for a while, thinking to myself that Hu Xiaolan said at the end, 'He is still in the end', what happened to him in the end? It's really half a mouthful, especially for someone as curious as me.

"I didn't expect him to find the ring in the end." When I was in a daze, Xiaobai's words lifted my spirits. I couldn't help but say, "Xiaobai, do you know what this thing is?" ”

Xiaobai replied, "Of course I do. Xiaolan has already told me everything about the year, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to help her! ”

I said eagerly, "That's... Can you tell me about Xiaolan? ”

Xiaobai's voice was a little questioning: "Why are you so interested in Xiaolan's affairs?" Are you interested in her......"

I laughed and said, "Xiaolan is a ghost, how can I be interesting to her?" Your brain hole is so weird..."

Xiaobai said in a low voice: "Really? ”

"Of course. People and ghosts have different paths, don't think about it. There's a reason I'm interested in Xiaolan's business. I told Xiaolan the story that had been circulating among the students of the police academy for more than ten years, and finally said, "You should be able to understand now, right?" ”

Xiaobai didn't speak after listening to it, and it took a long time to hear her breathe a sigh of relief and say, "In your eyes, that story turned out to be like this. ”

Xiaobai's voice was full of emotion, and I knew something was wrong, and asked, "Isn't this the real situation?" ”

Xiaobai replied: "Naturally not, there is a big difference." But one thing you guessed is right, in this small orchid lake, there is indeed a big river that flows outside. But the undercurrent is not at the bottom of the lake, but above the wall. ”

I asked curiously, "You know that, too?" ”

I would ask such doubts, and there is a basis for them. After dealing with ghosts over the years, as well as communicating with Xiaobai, I came to a conclusion: Compared with humans, ghosts do have many special abilities, such as possession, such as being able to float, but they are not omniscient and omnipotent.

I stood by the lake and couldn't see the bottom of the lake, and Xiaobai stood by the lake, and I couldn't know what the bottom of the lake was like. I could dive to the bottom of the lake to investigate, but I couldn't, because she wasn't a water ghost, she had no physical body—and she couldn't swim when she was alive. That's why I'm so surprised that Xiaobai would know that there is an undercurrent in the lake.

Xiaobai replied: "Why don't I know? Xiaolan told me! ”

Hu Xiaolan was drowned in the water, in terms of characteristics, she should belong to the water ghost, she knows that there is an undercurrent in the lake that connects to the outside, and it is normal. After solving the doubts in my heart, another strange thought suddenly arose in my mind: I don't know how Xiaobai died, what kind of ghost should she belong to?

I can't guess anything else, I just know that she shouldn't have died of old age.

While I was thinking nonsense, Xiaobai's voice sounded again: "You just said that Xiaolan committed suicide by jumping into the lake for martyrdom, but in fact it wasn't, her death was actually an accident." ”

I was shocked in my heart, and I was surprised by what Xiaobai said.

"Accident?"

"Yes! Even if it's not martyrdom, you don't have to be disappointed. Xiaobai sighed, "Xiaolan is really a sad and lamentable girl, if you want to hear it, then I will tell you what I know from the beginning." ”

Naturally, I want to hear this story.

That night, by Xiaolan Lake, through Xiaobai's narration, I roughly understood the ins and outs of the tragedy back then.

Xiaobai is right, the truth of the matter is very different from the love story that circulated in the police academy.

The only constant may be the affection contained in it.

Where did you start with that incident?

Let's start with that little circle in my pocket. The ring is actually a ring.

Xiaolan's tragedy started with the ring in my hand.

That ring was bought by Hu Xiaolan to commemorate the love between the two of them, and it can be regarded as a token of love between the two of them. There are two rings in total, one for each person.

In the summer of that year, the police academy was on summer vacation, and the two did not go home, and both stayed in the police academy.

Hu Xiaolan's boyfriend is called Lin Zihui, in the story that circulates outside, he has a good water nature, and he is curious, in order to explore whether there is a bottomless pit at the bottom of Xiaolan Lake, he dived into the water again and again, and finally drowned in the lake.

And Xiaobai told me that in fact, the truth of the matter is not like this. Lin Zihui is indeed very good in water, and Hu Xiaolan is also very good in water, and the two of them met when they were swimming.

Lin Zihui dived into Xiaolan Lake again and again, not to explore the bottomless pit, but to find a lost promise ring.

Hu Xiaolan likes to swim, and in the summer police academy, not many people stayed in school, so she liked to swim in Xiaolan Lake, but once, she accidentally left her ring in the lake.

Hu Xiaolan searched for a long time in the lake, but did not find it, and later told Lin Zihui about it.

After Lin Zihui found out, he secretly went to Xiaolan Lake at night to look for the ring, and finally the ring was found by him, but he also had an accident.

After hearing the news that Lin Zihui drowned in Xiaolan Lake, Hu Xiaolan was overwhelmed with grief. The salvage team fished out the bottom of Xiaolan Lake, but did not find Lin Zihui's body, Hu Xiaolan did not give up and secretly went to Xiaolan Lake alone.

She didn't jump into the lake to die - she was so good at the water that she wouldn't choose to jump into the lake even if she wanted to commit suicide - but to find Lin Zihui's body.
