Chapter 10 9. A bouquet of carnations

The emergence of Niu Fang is undoubtedly a breakthrough discovery in terms of the case itself, but because the result was far beyond the expectations of the investigators, the previous reasoning was completely subverted and overturned, and the police had to redefine the direction of investigation. , but because Niu Fang was no longer alive, many things were unproved and impossible to investigate, and the investigation work fell into a stalemate for a while. Ji Ruxuan suffered the most during this time——she didn't want to associate Niu Fang with the fire that destroyed Liu Xiaoxiao's appearance, even though it was probably the truth, so she kept trying to avoid thinking about it and put everything in her heart. She pinned her hopes on the investigation work of the police. She naively and simply hoped that when the truth of the case came to light, the police would tell her that Niu Fang was misunderstood and that she was not the murderer. Otherwise, she dared not imagine the consequences. what it looks like.

The reality is really cruel and terrible. In order to start a new life as soon as possible, the three of them finally decided to move this afternoon—Lin Ying and Qiu Suling didn't know about Niu Fang's "fallen", otherwise they might not even have the last bit of courage to start a new life. also disappeared. "Xuanxuan, I heard that you and Xiaolou are renting a house off campus? Are you really planning to move to a new dormitory?" Lin Ying asked while packing her things. Ji Ruxuan nodded and said frankly: "I don't have the strength to adapt to the new environment anymore, and being with Xiaolou makes me feel better."

"that's right." Lin Ying lowered her head and said with some embarrassment, "I have also applied for day school, and I will live off-campus in the future." Qiu Suling smirked and said, "Is it with Yang Chuan?" "Well, he has been living in a rented house..." "You guys are developing fast enough, you're living together so soon." Qiu Suling stuffed some clothes into the suitcase and shook her head with emotion. "I am the only one who is still alone, and can only continue to live a collective life." "Then you should find one too."

As soon as they parted, the three of them all acted "happy" and joked with each other. "Okay, I'll send some things down first, and Yang Chuan is waiting downstairs." Lin Ying stuffed a clothing bag full of various sundries under her right armpit, and picked up a small box in each of her left and right hands. Some struggled to walk to the door. "Let me help you." Seeing how powerless she was, Ji Ruxuan couldn't help but said. "You have a lot of things. I can do it myself." Lin Ying turned her head and smiled at her. Just as she walked to the door, an auntie of the housekeeper suddenly came from the opposite side and held out a small notebook in front of Lin Ying. "You two are day students, sign this letter of responsibility, and the school will not be responsible for what happens in the future. And you, Ji Ruxuan, come out and sign."

"Understood." Lin Ying agreed, probably feeling that the things under her right armpit were not easy to put down, so she let go of the small box in her left hand, took the so-called letter of responsibility from the housekeeper, and spread it on the window sill next to her , with a pen in his left hand, he quickly filled in his name in the signature area. "Is it okay?" "Well, yes." The housekeeper picked up the responsibility letter and glanced at her signature, "You can write well with your left hand, you must have practiced it?" Lin Ying smiled, picked up the small box again, walked around the housekeeper and walked towards the stairs.

With Jiang Xiaolou's help, Ji Ruxuan finally got all her belongings into the house they had just rented - a private house not far from the school gate. "Moving is really hard work." After entering the door, Jiang Xiaolou lay down on the bed panting, and asked Ji Ruxuan casually, "Are you going to school soon?" "Well, tell Lin Ying and the others to have dinner at night. I have to go now, first go to Lao Qiu's new dormitory to see how the environment is." "Okay, can you find this place when you come back at night?" "I've already remembered." Ji Ruxuan opened the door, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, you told me last time...about writing with your left hand, do you still remember?"

Jiang Xiaolou let out a "huh". "But maybe I was wrong. Since she bought the doll herself, she must be the one who wrote on it. Oh, no, the result of the handwriting identification is not her!"——even if he is as smart as Jiang Xiaolou, when he thinks about the problem There are bound to be omissions.Besides, the clues in the whole case were too complicated, so it was understandable for him not to think of this situation for a while. "If you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten about it. By the way, why did you remember to mention this?" Ji Ruxuan didn't know what his theory of "left-handed writing" was, so she still said in a normal tone: "Oh, I mean, Lin Ying seems to be able to write with her left hand."

"Lin Ying?!" Jiang Xiaolou jumped up from the bed. "I can write with my left hand, does this... have anything to do with the case?" Ji Ruxuan faintly sensed something from Jiang Xiaolou's abnormal behavior, and asked weakly. "It's too relevant, let's go, let's go to the police station!" "Now? Then...how about the dinner party?" "Maybe there will be no chance in this life." Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help but pull Ji Ruxuan up, and while walking outside, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Gao Fei's number. Sometimes the truth is like a treasure buried in the bottom of the sea. Even if you ride the wind and waves and try your best, it may be difficult to see one side, but inadvertently, it may be pushed ashore by a wave and exposed on the sunny beach .

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Jiang Xiaolou felt this emotion at the moment.After receiving his report, the task force immediately launched a comprehensive investigation on Lin Ying, but found nothing useful in the end.Gao Fei personally called Jiang Xiaolou to discuss this matter. "Wait a minute..." Jiang Xiaolou pondered for a moment after listening to Gao Fei's report on the investigation results, and said, "You said just now that Lin Ying said she had dinner with Yang Chuan on the night Niu Fang was killed?"

"Yes, the man named Yang Chuan also confirmed this. Therefore, there is no problem with the alibi." "Where did they eat?" "We went to visit a western restaurant in the urban area. A clerk confirmed what Lin Ying said. The two stayed in the western restaurant from 5:30 to 7:00, so the murderer couldn't be her. Your 'left-handed writing' ' I agree with the reasoning, but maybe it's just a coincidence for Lin Ying?" "What a coincidence!" Jiang Xiaolou scolded disdainfully, "You can go and arrest that clerk now, he gave false testimony."

"How to say?" "Is that store called 'Burton Western Restaurant'?" "Yes, how do you know?" "Well, I guess they're going to talk about that place. I bumped into them twice in that store, but I didn't see them that night." "Did you also eat at that restaurant?" "I stayed there from five o'clock until eight o'clock, what do you think?" Gao Fei was even more surprised: "Why do you eat for so long?" "I ate with two women, that's fine. Stop talking nonsense, you summon Yang Chuan and the clerk first, scare them more, and you will definitely get the result." "Understood, Xiaolou, if the case is solved this time, our criminal police team will send you a plaque!" "If you can solve the case, I will give you a plaque!" Another five hours passed in a flash. When it was getting dark, Yang Chuan came out of the police station and went straight back to the rented house off-campus. Lin Ying had already gone to bed early because of a headache.The sound of Yang Chuan opening the door did not wake her up. Yang Chuan took off his shoes, walked to the bed, and stared fixedly at Lin Ying curled up in the bed. After watching for a few minutes, he took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and got into the bed. Lin Ying just woke up. "Yang, you're back." Lin Ying reached out to touch his fair face. "Did you eat? Where did you go in the afternoon?" "I met a middle school classmate and had dinner together. What about you?" "Well, I ate a bowl of Liangpi, hehe, my head hurts a bit, so I will lie down and rest." "You..." After a while, Yang Chuan asked hesitantly, "Last time, why on earth did you let me lie, saying that we ate at a western restaurant that night?" Lin Ying trembled: "Why are you asking this?" "The police came to me today and asked about it." Lin Ying sat up at once: "Are you telling the truth?" "Of course not." Yang Chuan lied. "But I'm very surprised, Niu Fang's death...has nothing to do with you?" Lin Ying quickly shook her head, "I'm good sisters with her, how could it be possible. Last time I told you to lie, I didn't want the police to know that I went home to visit my mother's grave that day. You know, there is a woman in the criminal police team I know Ji Ruxuan very well, if she finds out, she will definitely tell Ji Ruxuan." "So what? Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. Why don't people know about your mother's death?" "I don't want to be regarded as a child without a mother..." Lin Ying suddenly covered her mouth and sobbed softly. "What you just said is true?" Yang Chuan said after a long silence. Lin Ying buried her head on Yang Chuan's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a sob: "Yang, you are my dearest person now, I won't lie to you." It's a pity that you are not my dearest person.Yang Chuan thought to himself, he didn't know why Lin Ying cried so much.What the policeman said to him in the afternoon resurfaced in his ears again. Could it be that this weak crying woman lying in his arms is really a murderer?Probably not. When there were no more new clues to investigate, the criminal police captain Gao Fei sent someone to monitor Lin Ying for 24 hours, but found nothing. Apart from going to and from get out of class every day, Lin Ying went to the street to buy vegetables. Renting a house to cook and eat with Yang Chuan, the two seem to live a life like husband and wife. Lin Ying's complexion also improved day by day.It was only then that Gao Fei realized that there was no point in continuing to monitor him—what should be done has been done, the person who should be killed has been killed, and this cunning murderer will no longer show any crimes.Therefore, there is only one last possible solution left: a frontal siege.Therefore, Gao Fei ordered Lin Ying to be summoned, and then he was in charge of questioning himself. Looking at the girl in front of him with an aggrieved and sad face, Gao Fei understood that if she couldn't produce strong evidence, she would definitely say nothing.So, after going around a few times, Gao Fei suddenly asked: "On the day Niu Fang was killed, that is, between 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on October 23, where were you and what were you doing?" "I am here--" "Don't talk about eating in the restaurant anymore. Yang Chuan has already told us the truth, and the waiter in the western restaurant——Yang Chuan's cousin, also admitted the fact of lying, so you should be honest." Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I... went back to my hometown in Anhui to visit my mother's grave." "A long-distance bus?" Lin Ying nodded. "Is it the coach station near your school?" Lin Ying nodded again. "What time does the car leave?" "Five thirty-five in the afternoon. I have been with Yang Chuan before, if you don't believe me, you can ask him." Gao Fei smiled, thinking that this girl is really cunning, and she knows how to avoid the serious when talking about the problem - where she went before 5:35 has basically nothing to do with this case.So Gao Fei stared at Lin Ying's face and said, "Maybe you don't know? There are cameras installed at the entrance and exit of the station, so we retrieved the video files of the station on October 23rd early in the morning and watched ten times. Several times, but did not see you. What does this mean?" Lin Ying couldn't help frowning: "I just told you that I went back to my hometown that day, why did you go to investigate early in the morning? Police officer, it's very irresponsible for you to speak like this." "It's true that you explained it just now, but Yang Chuan explained this clue a few days ago. Do you still remember that you told him about it?" Lin Ying bit her lip and said in a sad tone: "Why do you doubt me? Niu Fang and I are good sisters. May I ask why I killed her?" "How do you explain the video?" "I don't know. Anyway, I took that bus back to Anhui." "Do you still have the ticket stub?" "I lost it a long time ago, what do I keep that thing for?" Gao Fei sneered. "Student Lin Ying, let me tell you the truth, we already have a lot of valid evidence about the fact that you killed Niu Fang, so please tell me the truth, there is no point in continuing to resist." "Fangfang really wasn't killed by me!" Lin Ying shouted, covering her face with her hands, and cried aggrievedly. "You wronged me, I really didn't kill people..." "Whether you did it or not, think about it for yourself, and I'll give you some more time." After speaking, Gao Fei stood up from his desk and walked out of the interrogation room. Jiang Binger and other members of the special case team came together immediately—Jiang Binger was actually one of the members of the special case team and was in charge of writing records.She never explained this matter to Ji Ruxuan, because she was worried that after telling her the truth, she would pester her for a long time, asking questions, and revealing the real secrets of the case. "How is it?" Jiang Binger asked first after the door of the interrogation room was closed. "It's very troublesome." Gao Fei spread his hands, "There's nothing we can do if she doesn't admit it, we can't beat her up." "Then what should we do? We don't have an arrest warrant, and we will release him sooner or later." "Don't be afraid to let people go, just find someone to watch." Gao Fei sighed, "The problem is that if she keeps refusing to explain, and we can't find any physical evidence, what should I do? The only so-called station video that has any weight is It’s a fiction to deceive her, it’s not the way to go on like this.” "That is to say...unless she voluntarily admits, we have no other choice?" "Unless there is new evidence that can directly prove that she killed someone." Gao Fei shook his head with a wry smile. "I thought I could deal with her based on my experience. It seems that I underestimated this little girl..." On the night when Lin Ying was summoned to the police station, Jiang Xiaolou managed to lull Ji Ruxuan to sleep—she didn't know the fact that Lin Ying had become a criminal suspect. tell her. Jiang Xiaolou lay beside her for a while, feeling so depressed that he simply put on his clothes and went out for a walk.He walked along the road at the door, and walked into a newly opened bar somehow, ordered a big can of beer, sat on the seat near the door and drank it alone, looking through the transparent glass window, Looking outside without focus, even if there are occasional beauties who meet his aesthetic requirements passing by, he is not in the mood to take a look. After about twenty minutes, a male voice from the direction of the bar caught his attention: "Boss, have another beer!" The voice was somewhat familiar, and Jiang Xiaolou glanced over there, just as the man turned his head back, and their eyes met. "Ha, Jiang Xiaolou!" "Yang Chuan." Jiang Xiaolou smiled and called out his name.Yang Chuan obviously drank a lot, his face was flushed, he staggered over, and sat opposite Jiang Xiaolou. "In the middle of the night, you're not at home with Xuanxuan, what are you doing here?" "Xuanxuan wasn't called by you." Jiang Xiaolou said lightly, but there was still a smile on his face. "What's wrong with shouting, what's wrong with me calling out!" Yang Chuan yelled unhappily, but Jiang Xiaolou ignored him.After a while, he calmed down, hiccupped, pointed at Jiang Xiaolou's face and said, "Let me tell you, I almost kissed her that day, almost..." "You're drunk." Jiang Xiaolou turned his face away, not wanting to get acquainted with this drunk. "Oh..." Yang Chuan sighed suddenly, and muttered in a low voice, "You are so lucky to find a girl as good as Xuanxuan, I can't do it anymore, haha, a piece of plaster is stuck on my body, I want to shake it off Can’t get rid of it either.” "So you came out for a drink?" "What else can I do?" "You don't like Lin Ying, do you?" Jiang Xiaolou asked casually after taking a sip of beer. "But she fucking likes me!" Yang Chuan yelled again. Looking at his appearance, Jiang Xiaolou felt that he was really different from the usual polite and gentlemanly man, but it was undeniable that ,he is handsome.Jiang Xiaolou secretly thought, he is as handsome as himself. Yang Chuan was still chattering over wine: "I want to break up with her, but I can't tell. She said she had the courage to survive because of me. Haha, isn't it ridiculous? Saying she loves me, what are you talking about?" Everything she did was to be with me, what did she do, I really don't know—" "Wait!" Jiang Xiaolou interrupted his chatter, stood up, put his hand on his shoulder, and looked at his beautiful eyes. "You just said that everything Lin Ying did was to be with you?" "That's what she said." Yang Chuan sighed, "So, I want to get rid of her, but I can't say it." Jiang Xiaolou felt as if he had caught something, he thought hard for a while, and finally got a clue, so he shook Yang Chuan's shoulder, "Don't get drunk, answer my question, if you get rid of Lin Ying, What will happen to her?" "How? Will commit suicide." "I think there should be another possibility—she will confess all her crimes." "Crime?" Yang Chuan raised his drunken eyes and looked at him with a look of confusion. "You really don't know, if you don't know, she is a murderer, and she killed Niu Fang!" "Ah..." Yang Chuanjiu woke up halfway, and opened his mouth: "It can't be true, can it?" "I can tell you responsibly that she is absolutely. She was summoned by the police this afternoon, but due to insufficient evidence, she was released again. Yang Chuan, are you willing to help me?" "help you with what?" "You broke up with her, forcing her to lose hope in life, and then I have my own arrangements, and I will definitely let her tell the truth." Yang Chuan frowned suddenly.Jiang Xiaolou added: "If I don't talk to you about justice and social responsibility, is it for Xuanxuan's sake? You don't know what she looks like, she's in a daze all day long. I think only when the truth of the case comes to light can she slowly recover. Get out of the shadows and go back to normal life. I know you like her too, even if it's for her, do us a favor, okay?" Yang Chuan was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded resolutely. "Okay, but I have a request." "As long as I don't sleep with Xuanxuan, I can agree." "Don't marry her so early, give me some time, and compete fairly with you, okay?" Looking at the handsome, almost perfect face in front of him, Jiang Xiaolou felt a sense of crisis spontaneously.But he still gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!" When Lin Ying woke up in the morning, she habitually touched her side, but it was empty. She suddenly felt a burst of loss and inexplicable panic. After waking up, the first thing to do was to call Yang Chuan, and after three rings, the phone was connected. "Yang, didn't you come back last night?" "I won't go back in the future." Yang Chuan said indifferently. Lin Ying only felt a "buzz" in her head, and she fell down on the bed.But Yang Chuan's words came to mind again: "I left a letter for you, it's on the dining table, you'll know it after reading it, goodbye." The phone hung up. Lin Ying was stunned for about ten seconds, then rushed to the living room. Sure enough, there was a piece of sky blue letter paper on the dining table, and she picked it up with trembling hands: "I owe others, I owe others..." Lin Ying murmured to herself. After a long time, she smiled foolishly. In a blink of an eye, she saw a plate of fruit on the dining table with handfuls of shiny fruits on it. The knife, I picked it up without thinking. "Hehe, I don't owe anyone, I don't owe anyone..." Just when she raised the knife and was about to stab her in the chest, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Ji Ruxuan walked in with tears on her face, followed by Jiang Xiaolou and several people in police uniforms. "Lin Ying!" Ji Ruxuan called her name tremblingly, "I know everything, you owe Xiaoxiao and Niu Fang, you should pay it back!" Lin Ying shivered, and looked at Ji Ruxuan standing in front of her stupidly. After a long time, she suddenly rushed up and hugged her neck, and burst into tears like a wronged child. Watching this scene, Jiang Xiaolou let out a long breath.Finally, he still won. In the police station, Lin Ying, who completely removed her disguise, confessed her criminal process and motives. This is a not-so-beautiful story: Once upon a time, when they were still in the old campus, the five of them were like sisters.Compared with Liu Xiaoxiao, a rich second generation, Lin Ying's background is very different. When Lin Ying was very young, her father was seriously ill, and her mother went bankrupt to see a doctor for him. She borrowed a lot of money, but she still couldn't keep her money. When he——Lin Ying was three years old, his father died, and he left nothing but the debt he owed for his medical treatment.In order to pay off her debts and support her daughter, Lin Ying's mother worked during the day and went to the night market to sell trinkets at night. Therefore, when Lin Ying was young, she deeply felt the suffering of poverty, and gradually developed a lonely and inferior character.More than ten years later, Lin Ying was admitted to university, and her mother supported her with all she had.Lin Ying is very considerate of her mother, so she has only one ideal, which is to study hard, find a good job after graduation, and earn a lot of money, so that her mother will no longer have to work, but can eat enough, wear good clothes, and no longer have to worry about life. However, just a few months ago, Lin Ying received a call from the hospital in her hometown. A doctor told Lin Ying that her mother was setting up a stall in the night market last night. Yes, a kind-hearted person called the emergency number. Now my mother is receiving treatment in the hospital. I want her to send money there quickly, or the treatment will be stopped. Lin Ying, who had a withdrawn personality, didn't mention this to anyone. She asked a tutor for a long vacation and rushed back to her hometown with the thousands of dollars she earned from working part-time during the summer vacation. Because of the timely rescue, the mother's life was saved, but because of the broken lumbar spine, she could no longer stand up.He also suffered other injuries and urgently needed treatment. Lin Ying handed over all the money she had to the hospital, and in desperation, she had to sell the only house in the family with the help of a relative. With the money, she transferred her mother to a hospital in Xunan County. You have to go to school and you have to take care of your mother. Since then, Lin Ying has shuttled back and forth between the hospital and the school every day. Although life is hard, she clenched her teeth and persisted, and she never mentioned this matter to anyone except Niu Fang—the inferiority complex caused by poverty. , she was afraid of being laughed at by others, afraid of being looked at differently, so even a few friends in the same dormitory did not dare to tell, but Niu Fang and her were friends who grew up together. Because of this, they applied for the same exam. school, and voluntarily asked to be assigned to the same dormitory. Niu Fang persuaded Lin Ying to ask Liu Xiaoxiao for help. After all, they are good sisters, and Liu Xiaoxiao is a rich lady who is generous and willing to help others.I don't know how many people in the class have benefited from her. However, apart from low self-esteem and autism, Lin Ying's character is also stubborn. Although her life is so difficult, she is still unwilling to accept anyone's help.She used her spare time to do part-time work for others, working hard to make money and serving her mother. One month passed, and after school was over that day, the counselor stopped Lin Ying and told her that the school was about to select a group of outstanding students, each of whom would be awarded a scholarship of 2,000 yuan and an outstanding student certificate.Each class is allocated a place, and she strongly recommends Lin Ying. Lin Ying was very happy, because her mother's birthday was coming soon, and her mother's favorite flower in her life was carnations. Although she had never seen this kind of flower that symbolized maternal love, she had heard that when Lin Ying chatted with her in the past, She often said that if she made money in the future, she should buy something to honor her. My mother just smiled and said that you really want to live a better life in the future, and I will be satisfied if you can buy me a bunch of carnations. Lin Ying always kept this sentence in her heart. Before the instructor told her the good news, she thought about sending a bouquet of carnations to her mother on her birthday to make her mother, who has been suffering from illness for a long time, happy. Three hundred yuan, but the money from selling the house was basically used for the mother's medical treatment. Now the source of income for the mother and daughter depends entirely on the money earned by Lin Ying from working outside the school. What about such an expensive bouquet of flowers? Now, Lin Ying felt hopeful.There is still one and a half months before her mother's birthday, but the instructor told her that the scholarship should be available in one month.So Lin Ying was looking forward to it every day, until the day when the scholarship was awarded, when the supervisor hand-delivered an outstanding student certificate and a scholarship of 2,000 yuan to Liu Xiaoxiao, Lin Ying was completely dumbfounded.Later she found out that what Liu Xiaoxiao wanted was just the certificate, so that she could show it off in front of her parents, and she also wanted tens of thousands of extra pocket money.For this reason, she, who was poor in her studies, spent money to buy a mentor, and got this spot... The next day, just in time for the November holiday, her mother's birthday was on October 7th. For a whole week, Lin Ying worked desperately everywhere. As a result, on the 5th day, when she went to clean a rich man's house, she accidentally Broke a vase and lost a week's wages... On her mother's birthday, Lin Ying borrowed twenty yuan from Niu Fang—she was only willing to accept Niu Fang's help and bought a piece of cake for her mother, but she didn't have any carnations.At night, after her mother fell asleep, Lin Ying sat on the edge of the hospital bed and shed tears all night. The next day when school started, Lin Ying returned to school for class. Just after a class, the hospital called Niu Fang—Lin Ying didn't have a mobile phone, so the contact information for the hospital was Niu Fang's number.The doctor told Lin Ying that shortly after she went to school, her mother stabbed her throat with an apple-peeling knife and died of suffocation when she was discovered due to a ruptured trachea... The mother left a note for Lin Ying, which only said one sentence: Son, mother does not want to drag you down, you should live a better life. Except for Niu Fang, Lin Ying hid the news of her mother's death from everyone, took a few days off work, and held a simple funeral for her mother with the help of relatives in her hometown. In front of her mother's new grave, Lin Ying placed a bouquet of carnations bought with money from selling textbooks, but it was already too late.My mother never saw the appearance of a carnation or smelled its fragrance until she died. While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone. After finishing her mother's funeral, Lin Ying had just returned to school, and Liu Xiaoxiao, who had returned from vacation, found her with 5,000 yuan—of course she knew where she got her quota, and she wanted to use the money to express her apology. Yes, of course she wouldn't ask for money from her enemy. That night, accompanied by Niu Fang, Lin Ying cried for a long time.Then she gritted her teeth and told Niu Fang that she wanted to take revenge on Liu Xiaoxiao, but she would not kill her directly. She wanted her to taste the pain, just like her own pain now. Niu Fang promised to help her. The two began to make a plan. In order to get revenge, Lin Ying buried all the pain in her heart. On the surface, she was still the same as before. She even treated Liu Xiaoxiao more intimately than before. Hatred can make a person crazy, and it can also make a person more calm and full of wisdom. A week later, they were arranged by the school to transfer to the current campus. Lin Ying had been waiting for a chance of revenge until that night, when Zhang Jiaming, who had just joined the dormitory, suddenly mentioned the legend of the bell tower. I made an idea on the doll I just bought. Niu Fang bought five dolls and planned to give one to each of her roommates—although this cursed doll has become a popular accessory, as long as it is used well, it can also create superstitious effects, such as writing names on the back of the dolls .Lin Ying has always been good at writing with her left hand—she was left-handed when she was a child, but she was corrected later, but her left hand can still write imaginary Chinese characters, which are completely different from the writing characteristics of her right hand. Because I can often see Niu Fang writing, when Lin Ying wrote with her left hand, she half-intentionally imitated her handwriting—it wasn’t written by Niu Fang herself anyway, and the police would not only not arrest her if something happened in the future, but would also confuse her. a period of time.Then, Lin Ying wanted to put the doll directly under Liu Xiaoxiao's pillow, but it happened that Zhang Jiaming asked them to help find something in the bell tower. Lin Ying had an idea and called Niu Fang to the bathroom to discuss, so Niu Fang appeared in the bell tower. In the scene of picking up the doll in the movie, Lin Ying deliberately threw the doll away in order to enhance the suspense—there are five dolls in total anyway, so it may not be enough. What happened next is well known. As for the crying in the bathroom and the recording pen, it was also a coincidence. The crying that Ji Ruxuan and the others heard the night before was Lin Ying sleeping until midnight when she suddenly remembered something about her mother's life. She couldn't control her emotions and ran to the bathroom to cry. On the way to school the next day, Qiu Suling mentioned that she heard crying last night. Lin Ying suddenly felt that this was something worth using. I downloaded a crying sound from the Internet, adjusted the time, and then inserted the recording pen into the groove at the connection of the ventilation pipe from the top of the building. In order not to make everyone too suspicious, she will find an opportunity to take back the recording pen from the rooftop every day, and then put it in every two or three days, the purpose is to strengthen the effect of superstition, and at the same time disturb everyone's audiovisual. As for the fire that disfigured Liu Xiaoxiao, it was Lin Ying who did it herself: on the night of the incident, she pretended to go to the bathroom while everyone was asleep (so that she would not be afraid of being discovered), walked past Liu Xiaoxiao's bed, and quickly She sprinkled red phosphorus on her body and ignited it—she stole it from the chemistry lab at school—and carried a little with her every time she went to class, so it was impossible to detect. Lin Ying's purpose of creating the fire was very clear: to make Liu Xiaoxiao burnt and disfigured, she, who has always loved beauty, would definitely not be able to bear the blow, and would be in pain. However, Liu Xiaoxiao's suicide was beyond Lin Ying's expectations. As an accomplice, Niu Fang did not directly participate in the arson, but after all, she indirectly designed and framed Liu Xiaoxiao—the lie of seeing another Liu Xiaoxiao in the bathroom was instructed by Lin Ying, and the purpose was naturally to further confuse everyone's vision , Paving the way for the coming revenge. Liu Xiaoxiao's suicide made Niu Fang feel guilty and regretful, but what really woke her up was the day she went to the hospital to visit Liu Xiaoxiao, met the girl named Liu Xiaoyin downstairs, and learned that Liu Xiaoxiao had donated 50,000 yuan to her. At that moment, Niu Fang knew that Liu Xiaoxiao was actually a good person after helping her mother to treat her illness. ——She told Lin Ying herself these things. She thought they shouldn't hurt her, and she felt extremely regretful about it. So during that time, she had been acting more painful than others, which was actually guilt. After a fierce ideological struggle, she decided to tell the truth to Ji Ruxuan, and then asked her opinion whether she should surrender to the police station, but Lin Ying had already realized her intention, in order to conceal the truth, in order to be able to have a relationship with Yang Chuan together - at this time she had already fallen in love with Yang Chuan.She began to plot against Niu Fang, she wrote Niu Fang's name on another cursed doll, and put it under Niu Fang's pillow - if Ji Ruxuan didn't accidentally find this doll, she would find a chance to "accidentally" find it, and then take it Show it to Ji Ruxuan. Then, she refused to let Ji Ruxuan tell Niu Fang on the grounds that she was afraid that Niu Fang would be frightened when she saw it—in fact, she was afraid of being exposed. When Niu Fang saw the doll, of course she would know that she was playing tricks. At this time, Lin Ying undoubtedly wanted to kill Niu Fang.To paraphrase with a clichéd old saying: Niu Fang knows too much.And wanted to expose her. Several times in a row, Niu Fang wanted to tell the truth to Ji Ruxuan, but was interrupted by Lin Ying vigilantly, and then followed her all day to protect her safety, so that she had no chance to talk to Ji Ruxuan or others alone. Niu Fang was very disgusted by this, and finally made up her mind to surrender to the police station. So that Friday she lied that she was going home, but actually went to the police station after going out, but Lin Ying caught up with her and lied to her that she She also regretted it and wanted to surrender. Before going, she hoped that Niu Fang could go for a walk with her in the back playground, chat and enjoy this last freedom. The kind-hearted Niu Fang believed it was true, but died tragically by Lin Ying's hands.The murder weapon was the fruit knife her mother had used to commit suicide. In addition, regarding the fingerprints on the recording pen, in fact, in order not to leave fingerprint traces, Lin Ying wore gloves every time she operated the recording pen and pinched the front part. Therefore, only Niu Fang's fingerprints can be found on it.It can be regarded as a mistake, which caused a misunderstanding between the police and Jiang Xiaoloubai. So far, the two cases have completely revealed the truth. After listening to Lin Ying's narration, none of the policemen present was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Lin Ying's criminal motive was simply because of a bouquet of carnations that hadn't been delivered. However, is it as simple as just a bouquet of carnations? Lin Ying is the maker of the conspiracy and the murderer, but she herself is a weak person, a poor, pathetic, inferior, selfish and weak person.Where is Liu Xiaoxiao?She has lived on Jinshan since she was a child, and she is full of various shortcomings of the "rich second generation", but she is kind and sincere in nature, but because of a seemingly insignificant incident, she hurt her friends and eventually herself.As for Niu Fang, she is the most pitiful person. Her pity lies in participating in a war that has nothing to do with her. She helped one friend, but hurt another friend.She died in the end because of her awareness of justice and humanity, so she is worthy of respect. "If you hadn't fallen in love with Yang Chuan, would you have killed Niu Fang just because she wanted to expose you?" 在审讯过程中负责笔录工作的蒋冰儿终于忍不住插嘴问道。 林颖凄然一笑：“我不想为自己辩解什么，我没有想过这种事情，但直到看到那封信之前，我一直都想活着，想跟他白头偕老。爱情是一种玄妙的东西，不是吗？” “她真的是……为了我而杀人？” 翌日下午，当蒋冰儿将案情的前因后果告诉赶来警局打听审讯结果的一行人后，杨川忍不住泪流满面，连呼吸也变得颤抖起来。 “太可笑了，这太可笑了！”杨川神经质地不断摇着头，跌跌撞撞地跑出了警局的接待室。剩下纪如萱、蒋小楼和邱素灵三人默默相对。 “萱萱，咱俩出去走走好吗？”邱素灵突然说道。 纪如萱征询地看了蒋小楼一眼。 “你去吧，我还要在这呆一会儿，回头给你电话。你们路上注意安全。”蒋小楼努力保持着微笑，目送两人走到门外，才往椅背上一靠，深深地吐出了一口气，整个人显得无比疲累。 这时高飞走了进来，从后边拍了拍蒋小楼的肩膀，“今年我们局再有招聘计划的话，我绑也要把你绑进来。” 蒋小楼苦笑着摇了摇头。 “能不能在公诉材料里多给林颖说点好话，尽量别判……死刑。” “我尽量吧，大概有希望。” “那就谢谢你了。”蒋小楼像个年迈的老人似的，吃力而缓慢地从椅子上站起来，朝接待室门外走去。 “其实……”到门口时，蒋小楼突然回头看向高飞，“其实，我们都是弱者，但可悲的是，很多人都还不觉醒，认为一切都很好。” 高飞皱起眉头，他不明白这句话的意思。 “这是没办法的事。”蒋小楼大笑起来，走了出去。 警局大门外，路对面的街心花园里，纪如萱与邱素灵并肩坐在石凳上，长久无语。 不知过了多久，也许有一个小时，邱素灵终于开口了：“我没想到真相会是这样，但是，我能原谅林颖。” 纪如萱黯然点了点头：“我也是。而且我也能原谅晓晓，原谅牛芳。” “对，她们都犯过错，但真正错的却不是她们。是这个社会，是这个阶级分化、金钱至上的社会。你说对吗？” “这不该是我们思考的问题，老邱，我只想说，我们五个永远是好姐妹，我相信，晓晓和牛芳在地下已经和解了，她们也都不会怪罪林颖的。” “对，我们永远是好姐妹，是一个革命队伍，这里面没有叛徒，只有朋友。” “最好最好的朋友。” 第二天，纪如萱与邱素灵去给刘晓晓和牛芳扫墓——两人都长眠在许由市的一座风景秀丽的丘陵上，在一个叫“天垣公墓”的地方，这里没有尘世的喧嚣，没有复杂的争斗，有的只是漫山遍野的树木和野花，是一个适合长眠的好地方。 姐妹俩的坟墓紧紧连在一起，这是她们通情达理的父母的安排，好让她们在下面能够互相作伴，就像活着时候那样。 纪如萱和邱素灵上山扫墓时，没有拿草纸、元宝和蜡烛，只有两束洁白的康乃馨，分别摆在两座墓碑前方。 阵阵清风拂过，康乃馨的香味四处飘散，一直传到很远的地方。
