"That was three days ago, and in the morning I saw Huizi standing by the river, babbling something, and when I passed by, I greeted her, although she ignored me."

"Ever since Keiko's youngest son drowned, she would stand by the river from time to time and talk to the river, so I didn't notice anything unusual at the time."

"Huizi drowned at night, our village is different from the city, it is dark outside at night, and there is no entertainment, so at night, everyone stays at home and rarely goes out."

"The time when Huizi was found was early the next morning, and the old man Li next door fished in the morning and fished Huizi with a fishing net."

"At that time, Huizi was still with his eyes open, and he was soaked in buoys all over his body, which was particularly scary, and Old Man Li was so scared that he couldn't get out of bed for most of the day."

Zou Xia's previous guess was this:

The corpses and ghosts in this world are all symbols of some kind of death, which means that they will all die in the 'archival events' that have happened and will happen.

But what's going on with Keiko?

Died three days ago.

The day before, the body appeared in the apartment.

Either she is not dead, she is just pretending to be dead by throwing herself into the river, for a teacher who is proficient in science, it should not be difficult to fake her death phenomenon in a rural area with shallow knowledge.

Either she is really dead and has nothing to do with the fire in the apartment.

The process in the 'qualification test' does not allow him to lock down the murderer immediately, only allows him to lock down a few of the biggest suspects.

So if the appearance of the old lady is just a coincidence, it is some kind of misleading similar to 'useless information', it actually makes sense.

But Zou Xia still had a strange feeling, as if something in the middle had been neglected.

"Keiko died like this?"

"It's dead, and the white thing is still raised by the village to do it, and it is buried in the ancestral grave of Huizi's mother's family."

"The village raised money to do it?"

Zou Xia suddenly knew where that strange feeling came from.

Keiko's story is very detailed, and even his dead husband and youngest son are mentioned.

But only the eldest son, who is still alive, has been forgotten.

Now even Huizi's white affairs are handled by the village, so where did Huizi's eldest son go?

"That's right, Huizi's eldest son doesn't ask about anything, to put it ironically, Huizi works hard and is tired all her life, so she wants to be bought a wedding house by her eldest son, and then her eldest son got married and used up Huizi's life savings. But after all, after getting married, we all thought that Huizi would have no pressure and life would be better, but no one thought that Huizi's hard life had just begun......"

"Huizi's eldest son moved into a new house after he got married, and he didn't care about Huizi, and he couldn't come back for the New Year's holidays."

"Later, one day I suddenly returned to the village, and I heard that I was divorced, and I held a girl baby in my arms who couldn't run, and stuffed it to Huizi, saying that it was my daughter, and asked Huizi to help take the baby."

"The first time I saw my granddaughter, Huizi was carried away by surprise, but how can it be so easy to raise a child, especially a child?"

The burden on Keiko's shoulders is heavy again.

"Later, Huizi grew older, retired, and couldn't afford to raise children, so she found her eldest son who remarried."

"But the eldest son didn't care, he almost blasted Huizi back to the village, and then Huizi never looked for her eldest son again, and she and her little granddaughter lived a life of 'one person is full and one person is hungry'. The people in the village looked distressed, and from time to time they sent something to her family, but it didn't work, who didn't have old people and children to raise? It is impossible to afford the living expenses of this old and young in vain. ”

"Later, Huizi's house was demolished, and we were happy for Huizi, a house in the city is very expensive, and when life is really difficult, sell the house, and the life of the two of them can be better."

"After the demolition, there is still some time before the house is built, so Huizi will first take her little granddaughter to live in a neighbor's house."

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that was the happiest time Huizi had in this life."

"During that time, there were neighbors to take care of, granddaughters around me, and even the eldest son, who had been careless, came back from the city from time to time. We all thought that it was Keiko's eldest son who figured it out and planned to come back to take care of Keiko. ”

"But who would have thought that it was Huizi's eldest son acting."

"Acting?" Hearing this, Zou Xia had already guessed the follow-up in his heart.

"On the day she went to the house, Huizi went happily, but when she came back, she came back crying."

"At that time, we only knew that her house was deceived by her eldest son, you say, isn't this forcing Huizi and her mother to death?"

"And then?"

“...... Later, the village united and sued Huizi's eldest son, and the house was left, but Huizi said that he would not live in it, saying that he would raise such a son and live in shame! ”

“...... Then Huizi took her little granddaughter to continue to live in the village, but in the past two years, she ran a little more diligently in the city, and she didn't say anything when asked her, we all felt that Huizi had experienced so many bad things in her life, maybe people were old and had problems with their brains. ”

At this point, the story of Huizi's life is officially over.

Set aside the 'established fact' of Keiko's death.

If Huizi became a serial murderer and an apartment arsonist, Zou Xia would not be surprised at all.

The environment creates human nature, and Huizi's experience is enough to force normal people out of their antisocial personality.

In addition, Keiko has a high-end education, although it is a bit unsuitable to say so, but she does have a certain danger and killing ability.

Analyze with the idea of a spy:

No one will be wary of a strange and elderly woman who passes by herself.

But what if this old woman has an antisocial personality and has some kind of murderous ability, and she also has murderous intentions towards the people around her.

She can wreak havoc on the social environment around her.

So Keiko can indeed match the criminal profile of a serial murderer.

It's just that there are still a few questionable questions that have been haunting Zou Xia's mind:

Did she really kill someone?

Would such a person really commit suicide in fear of sin?

If she did die, what about her granddaughter? Where did the little girl who had no one to take care of go?

"Auntie, do you have a picture of Keiko and his son?"

"No, his son hasn't been to the village in years, and besides, who wants to keep a picture of a white-eyed wolf at home? His mother is dead, and he won't come back to see ......"

"Then where is Huizi buried? I helped Huizi and her mother in the city, so I came here and wanted to see Huizi twice before leaving. ”

"You go west, about seven or eight miles away, you can see a piece of land (field), many people in Huizi's mother's family are buried there, there is a tombstone in front of the grave, and Huizi's name is written on it."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Zou Xia looked up at the sun, raised his steps, and walked to the west.

But at this time, the aunt's voice suddenly sounded from behind again:

"Young man, the graveyard is not clean, and if the wind is strong and you see something, run back."

"If it's too late...... But it's ......."

“...... Can't come back. ”
