Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The Darkest Mind

The first time Lin Yingying saw Xiaolu was by the lotus pond opposite the Chinese department building.The lotus pond is clear, reflecting the deer's black pupils shining brightly.At that time, the little deer was pale, with downcast eyes, sitting quietly on the edge of the lotus pond, weeping secretly.It was only that silhouette, which was as light as water, but thin and fragile, made Lin Yingying remember her. I saw her again in the female dormitory of the Chinese Department a year later.At that time, she was as light as water, like a docile and flustered deer, watching the world anxiously; but at this time, she is like a strong fire rose, which can burn people with just one look.

Lin Yingying is not a troublesome person, but her change aroused Lin Yingying's curiosity. After being transferred from Building A 409, Lin Yingying finally got rid of that oppressive atmosphere, but after Xiaolu moved in, that gloomy strange feeling came back again, which often made Lin Yingying shudder. The reason was still that on a cool night, Xiaolu took off his shirt, revealing his delicate underwear and thin lace panties.Her body is well-proportioned, slender and slender, and her complexion is snow-white, which perfectly combines purity and sexiness.She idly leaned against the closet, sorted her clothes, and then went into the bathroom.

The second person to enter the toilet was Huang Li. She screamed and staggered out of the toilet. The basin she brought in had been overturned, and she was soaked all over her body. It's not water, but red blood. Lin Yingying didn't have time to react, but she felt that the little deer on the side was stunned, and her big misty eyes were covered with imperceptible moisture. She was a little dazed, and she just asked blankly: "Are you back?" She looked terrified Huang Li escaped from the dormitory.And Xiaolu suddenly went crazy, rushed into the toilet, and kept muttering, "Are you back?"

Seeing that she was insane, Lin Yingying followed her in, and saw that everything in the toilet was fine, except for the basin that was overturned by Huang Li and the messy clothes and pants that were dragged all over the floor, there was nothing, no blood, the stained in the toilet Where did the blood on Huang Li's body come from? There was not even a trace of blood on Fawn's pale face. She returned to her seat in a daze, took out lotion, and dabbed it on a pair of slender and white legs. She was still only wearing a pair of lace underwear with delicate lace, and a revealing piece on her body. The loose gown at the navel exposed the collarbone and half of the shoulders, and the fresh and tender color of lemon yellow bloomed on her gown like clusters of dandelions, making her even more charming.She didn't wear a corset, revealing her beautiful and exquisite body curves.

Lin Yingying couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, this was clearly a stunner, not the shy little deer from before.In the past, she was like a timid deer, always hiding behind her boyfriend, blushing when she spoke, very sweet and pleasant. "Is Su Baiqiao okay?" That was Gao Lin Yingying's senior brother who had gone abroad to study.Before, he and Xiaolu were a couple. Sure enough, Xiaolu, who had been repeating the smearing action, stopped and reapplied after a while, completely ignoring the shiny skin covered by the too thick lotion. "He forgot about that poor little ghost..." Just one sentence made Lin Yingying feel chilly all over her body.When she raised her head and met her black pupils, Lin Yingying clearly saw a dark, small figure of a child reflected in her pupils.

With a "pop", the water glass in hand was knocked down by Lin Yingying and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces. That night, Huang Li moved to another dormitory.The next morning, there was an open class in the Chinese Department. As soon as Lin Yingying sat down, Huang Li squeezed over: "Yingying, did you see the bloody man on the toilet wall last night?" Her tone was terrified. "No." Lin Yingying replied calmly. Although she was quiet and didn't talk much, she was not a timid person. Huang Li still sighed: "That dormitory is no longer suitable for people to live in." After saying that, he returned to his seat.And Lin Yingying was still chewing on what she said.

The night was silent, only she and Xiaolu were left in the dormitory.The deer has just come out of the bath, with countless water droplets in its hair, rolling under the lamp, one by one, like bright diamonds moving on the black silk satin.She doesn't wear makeup, her face is like a peach blossom, and she is so beautiful that it catches people's eyes. Thinking of Huang Li's words, Lin Yingying felt a lump in her heart, and finally used an excuse to go to the toilet.Closing the toilet door, the already quiet space became more and more silent, nothing happened, just squatted in the dark hole in the pit and stood there quietly, staring at it for a long time, panicked, afraid that it would fall out of the pit. Crawled out a bloody hand.Just as he was about to open the door, there was a "woo--" and a faint, childish cry sounded.

The door was quickly opened, and only Xiaolu was applying lotion repeatedly in the dormitory. "You, did you hear the crying?" Lin Yingying asked hesitantly. He raised his head abruptly, but his gaze passed Lin Yingying and landed on the edge of the door.Lin Yingying was frightened, she didn't dare to turn her head, she was afraid that the door of the room would suddenly open and a ghost would jump in. Weeping Liu Yiyi, Lin Yingying stood by the side of the lotus pond, any wisps of willow silk curling her hair.The reflections in the water are whirling, reflecting the blurred green and fresh white on the shore.

Bai Ying is Lin Yingying, she is sitting by the pond with her knees hugged.Looking at the fields of lotus leaves in the water, the blue shadows in the sky, the green willows and blue sky on the shore, all the yellows are dancing, occasionally disturbing the calm surface of the pond.The sound of footsteps approached, she looked back, only to feel that someone had been staring behind her, and she was embarrassed by being stared at, so she coughed. The person who came was the librarian, Lao Xu.Old Xu shook his head and sighed, "Ah, you have been followed by a brat." Lin Yingying was startled, remembering the little black shadows in Xiaolu's eyes when Xiaolu looked at her, panic immediately filled her, "What did you say?" Get up and ask anxiously.

Suddenly a figure appeared in the pond, and Lin Yingying saw clearly that it was Xiaolu walking over.Today, she is dressed plainly, only wearing a white gauze dress, with straight black hair and a shawl, as quiet as a dark cloud beside a lotus pond, waiting for the flowers to bloom at midnight. Old Xu was startled, and hurried away. Lin Yingying heard it clearly, and when he walked by the deer, he still murmured: "It has been following you. Let it go." Looking from a distance, the deer looks a bit like herself .The little deer in the past had a mild temper, somewhat similar to herself, but now she has become gorgeous, as gorgeous as a rose.There is resentment in the beauty, not like a human being, but like a ghost.

The little deer sat by the pond and said after a long time: "The first time I met you was by the side of this lotus pond. The pink and white lotus bloomed so brightly that even the sky was as green as a wash." After a pause, she continued, "You are a good person, you should move." She was talking about moving out of the dormitory.Lin Yingying was a little dumbfounded, she had just moved out of 409, where would she be asked to move now? At midnight, the dormitory was too quiet, both roommates moved out, and there were only two people left, and even the air was filled with silence. Lying on the canopy bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, my mind is full of the mechanical movements of Xiaolu's continuous application of lotion.Such a white face, such a white body skin, so white that people look pitiful.She just wipes, wipes... A wisp of fragrance suddenly surged in the air, faintly present, with a low-key gorgeous fragrance, it was the smell of lotion on Xiaolu's body.She once searched the Internet, but such a small bottle of lotion sold for four figures.In the past, Xiaolu was a very frugal girl. What happened to her? Just as he was thinking, a black shadow flashed across the room.Lin Yingying was startled, her hands clenched tightly on the quilt, the black figure squatted in a corner, wriggling, as if trying to break free from the cage.Isn't that corner under Xiaolu's bed?Will it be bad for the deer?I wanted to call Xiaolu, but I was afraid of disturbing it. Lin Yingying was cruel, suddenly lifted the quilt, jumped off the bed, and turned on the lamp on the desk: "Is the deer alright?" On a wriggling black shadow. The scream of "Yeah" didn't startle the shadow in the slightest. It turned out that Xiaolu got up in the middle of the night to apply lotion.She squatted in a corner, repeating the two movements from top to bottom, over and over again.Lin Yingying endured it, but she didn't say any words of reproach.She took a step and walked to the toilet. "Don't—" Before Xiao Lu finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a half-length girl was struggling in the fire. Lin Yingying couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground.Xiaolu threw away the bottle of lotion to help her, the delicate little glass bottle shattered, and the dark fragrance flowed in the room.A transparent lotion with golden powder rolled faintly on the ground, like a blooming enchanting golden lotus in the dark. "That's the paper man I burned. I'm sorry for scaring you." Those were the words Xiao Lu said the most after meeting again.She is still the kind and gentle little deer before, it's just that she has a strange temperament due to some reasons.Lin Yingying replied gently: "It's okay." After a pause, she still said, "What's on your mind, don't hide your discomfort." As Lin Yingying spoke, she raised her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the gate.For a moment, Lin Yingying froze.A vague black figure stood on the gate, staring at her intently.Xu Shi sensed Lin Yingying's strangeness, Xiao Lu raised his head, trembled, then turned on the desk lamp and pointed it at the door. When the two saw it, they couldn't help screaming anymore. When Lang Zhuoyang arrived, Lao Xu who was leaning against the door had already been dead for a long time.In order not to spoil the scene, he climbed over from the next window. "My colleagues from the bureau will be here soon, don't worry," he said to the two terrified girls.Lin Yingying knew his identity, but Lang Zhuoyang continued, in order to stabilize Xiao Lu, "I'm from the police, from the Criminal Psychology Department." He walked around the dormitory, and when he was meditating, he smelled an erratic fragrance.Looking up, it was Xiaolu mechanically applying lotion.She didn't wear outer pants, and her snow-white legs were slightly arched, revealing the lace edge of her underwear.Lin Yingying blushed, and quickly covered her with a piece of clothing. "Help her into the toilet and change her clothes. She is not in a good state of mind." Lang Zhuoyang turned his head and focused on his own affairs.He is really professional, you can see it at a glance.So Lin Yingying helped her into the bathroom to change clothes. When he came out again, he was still staring at the corpse in a daze.Lin Yingying took a step forward and said, "What's the situation?" Lang Zhuoyang held a piece of paper in his white gloved hand.Lin Yingying was taken aback when she saw that it was a suicide note. Why did he commit suicide here? "I have asked the school to adjust his handwriting." "You suspect that he didn't commit suicide?" Lin Yingying asked anxiously. "I have been in school for a long time, and I often go to the library to borrow books. Every time, I have to sign by him. For the time being, it looks like his handwriting, but the handwriting always looks a little strange." Lang Zhuoyang raised the hand of the corpse. , and said, "Look at these glittering gold powders, they still have a smell." Lin Yingying didn't want to touch the corpse, but just looked at it from a distance, there were a few gold powders on the corpse's hands, as if it really had a fragrance. Looking at Lang Zhuoyang suspiciously, his eyes stayed on the blossoming golden lotus on the ground, which was the lotion used by the deer.Even though most of the night had passed, the latex-like liquid hadn't dried up, and because the color was transparent, it was only spread on the ground moistly, with a little bit of golden light shining. "Xiaolu uses luxury goods. I heard that her family was not very good when she first entered school." At this time, Lang Zhuoyang's warm eyes were full of sharpness, his gentleness and elegance were just his disguise. "Yesterday you met Lao Xu? Did you go to the library to borrow books?" He was still studying the gold powder. "I happened to see him at the edge of the lotus pond yesterday evening. He passed by the little deer. I'm afraid he got the lotion and gold powder on the little deer's arm at that time. But what Old Xu said was very strange..." Seeing his eyebrows raised Picking, Lin Yingying still told what happened yesterday. Lang Zhuoyang shook the suicide note, and said, "Tell me what happened before and after." After listening to Lin Yingying's narration, he fell into deep thought again. "Xiaolu's mental state is very bad. I can't treat her without finding the cause of her stimulation. As for Lao Xu, he took poison, but why did he choose to die in your dormitory? He was His mental state is also yet to be evaluated. I will check it out as soon as possible, so don’t worry too much, so as not to increase your psychological burden. Remember, there are no ghosts in this world.” "Then how do you explain what Huang Li said? Why is she covered in blood, let alone saw blood shadows in the toilet?" Just as she was speaking, there was a knock on the door.It turned out that Mao Xin'an, the vice principal, was here, and she was Su Baiqiao's mother.Huang Li also came with her. Lang Zhuoyang called the principal politely, Mao Xin'an smiled and raised his hand to say hello.A few strands of golden light flashed by, and Lang Zhuoyang narrowed his long and narrow eyes, like a vigilant cat aiming at his prey. "Principal Mao met Lao Xu yesterday evening." He used declarative sentences instead of rhetorical questions. Principal Mao raised his eyebrows, his face was a little embarrassed, but he smiled immediately: "No. I went to have a beauty treatment, and I was busy until late. And there were no school activities yesterday, and many teachers didn't meet." Lang Zhuoyang smiled softly: "Principal Mao is well-maintained, and you look so young. All my substitute students praised you for your good temperament." Lin Yingying glanced at Mao Xinan. At her age, she is considered a She looks very young, and she can see that she was a beauty when she was young.Su Baiqiao is like his mother, and has inherited her good looks. Looking closely today, Su Baiqiao is still not as temperamental as his mother. Mao Xin'an was elated by the words, and quickly waved his hands, a rosy glow drifted across his fair skin: "I'm old, I've been childish by Susu all day long, hey..." She didn't continue, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone squatting in the corner When he saw Xiaolu, he was taken aback, but immediately returned to normal. "My girlfriend has gotten better recently and likes delicate things. I think the principal's nails are very beautiful and elegant." Lang Zhuoyang said, shaking Mao Xin'an's hand except for gloves. Her hands were slender and light white, and a small light blue orchid was painted on her nails, which was really elegant. "That child..." The headmaster said with a sympathetic smile, "She has a cold temper, and these girls' gadgets are actually more suitable for her." So he gave the business card of the nail salon to Lang Zhuoyang. Because something happened, and Lang Zhuoyang asked to see Huang Li, so Principal Mao personally brought Huang Li over. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, he also comforted the students as a routine, so Principal Mao withdrew first. "Okay, the police are coming soon, please tell me what happened that day in detail." Lang Zhuoyang tightly clenched his hands, all of which did not escape Lin Yingying's eyes.Huang Li was very nervous, "That day Xiaolu went to the toilet first, and then me. When I first went in, the inside was normal, and then I lifted the lid and poured the hot water from the kettle into the basin, and then the heat began to permeate the whole place. In a small space, everything is blurred." She wiped off the sweat from her head and continued: "I tested the water temperature, but it was too hot, so I turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature. As you know, this school has a water heater except A409, and all the showers in the dormitory are out of water. Cold water. But bloody water came out of the shower when it was turned on. When I looked down, the water in the basin was all red. I was shocked, and I threw the small basin I was carrying, and the blood splashed on the wall. The blood shadow appeared in the hot air and water mist." "Wait," Lang Zhuoyang stopped her just in time, "You mean the blood only appeared after the shower was turned on, and the blood that splashed on you also came from the shower. I caught cold water at the sprinkling place, but found it was blood water, so I threw the small water basin in shock, and the cold blood water in it splashed on the wall, and the blood shadow appeared. There was nothing on the original wall, right?" "That's right." Huang Li nodded vigorously, but immediately said in a hurry: "But the blood I splashed out is irregular, and the blood shadow on the wall is not something I can splash." "Don't worry," Lang Zhuoyang handed her a glass of water, "Let's talk about the concentration of blood. Do you think that whether it is the blood on the shower, the water basin, the small water basin, the blood on the wall, or the blood splashed on you? Are the bloodstains on your body the same concentration? Does it have a smell? I haven’t heard you describe the strong smell of blood, you only describe the blood everywhere. The smell of blood, let's say." Lin Yingying immediately understood Lang Zhuoyang's intentions and had to admire his thoughtfulness.Huang Li thought for a long time, and finally said: "The blood sprayed by the shower seems to be getting weaker and weaker. When the blood shadow on the wall appeared, the blood shadow was indeed very faint, because the water mist at that time was also very faint. It’s a little lighter, so I can see it, otherwise I guess it’s too faint to be noticed. And the smell of blood..." She paused, as if searching hard in her mind, and finally nodded weakly, "I really didn't smell it to the smell of blood." "That's weird. There's blood everywhere, and the smell of blood should be very strong. And the basin is full of blood, shouldn't the color be very strong? According to what you said, it's the small blood in your hand. The blood in the basin is darker." Lang Zhuoyang once again raised doubts. "Because the water basin is filled with hot water poured from a thermos, so when I want to pour cold water directly into the shower, the hot water splashes out and scalds me, so I use a small water basin to hold it and then pour it in." It’s in the water basin. I only poured water into the water basin twice.” Huang Li thought about it carefully, and said with certainty, “When the shower was just turned on, the cold water was of normal color, but after the first basin was poured out, the cold water was of a normal color. When I picked up the second pot, it turned into bright red blood, and when I lowered my head, I saw that the original normal water pot also turned into a faint blood color. Now that I think about it, it’s strange, because the cold water I poured into the first pot was obviously colorless , why did it change color? Besides, shouldn’t the color of such a full basin of water be darker, why is it lighter?” "The staff of the forensic department will find out the answer for us. By the way, your thermos bottle has never been touched, right?" Lang Zhuoyang looked at the thermos bottle standing in her place. "No, I hid in other people's dormitory at that time, and I didn't have time to move anything." Lang Zhuoyang looked at Lin Yingying and Xiaolu again.Lin Yingying nodded knowingly, "We haven't touched her bottle, we haven't even moved it." Lang Zhuoyang squatted down, and carefully moved the thermos bottle. The ground at the bottom of the bottle was clean, and it hadn't been moved for many days. The next thing was handed over to the police. Because we were colleagues, the Forensic Division listened to Lang Zhuoyang's words and unscrewed the water pipe of the entire shower and took it back for inspection. Lin Yingying took the courage to hold Lang Zhuoyang's hand, holding it so hard.Lang Zhuoyang lowered his head and smiled, and spread out his hands generously. On the palm of his hand was a transparent sticker the size of a thumb, on which there was a lot of golden powder. "Apart from Lao Xu, you haven't seen anyone else, have you?" Lang Zhuoyang asked with a smile full of teasing.Just now I lost my manners and went to grab his hand, but I had no choice but to want to know the answer.She lowered her eyes and replied casually: "Xiaolu and I are both quiet people, and we don't have other friends, so we went back to the dormitory from the lotus pond together and never went out again." "That is to say, if you two meet Lao Xu alone later, you can prove to each other that neither of you has left the dormitory?" Lang Zhuoyang looked at Lin Yingying quietly with his seemingly casual eyes. "What do you mean, do you suspect that I or she killed Lao Xu? What is the motive?" Lin Yingying was very emotional.She didn't want to meet his gaze, and didn't want him to see all the thoughts in her heart, so she quickly lowered her head and looked at the ground.The condensed transparent liquid and glittering gold powder had already been put into evidence bottles and taken away by the law enforcement personnel.The gold powder on the body was carefully scraped off, put into an evidence bag and taken away, and the body was also taken away. Thinking of this, Lin Yingying realized that this was no longer just a supernatural event, but a murder case. "You can feel it too. What happened here is a murder case, not a supernatural one. It's a real and vivid murder case. A living person becomes a cold corpse in an instant." Lin Yingying nodded: "I can understand your doubts about me. After all, you also want to find out the truth as soon as possible. But I can tell you very seriously that I have never left the dormitory. As for the truth about what happened to Old Xu, I I don't know." She said word by word, keeping her eyes on him, letting him examine herself mercilessly. Lang Zhuoyang took Xiao Lu away, and Lin Yingying followed her all the time, she was worried about Xiao Lu who was in a trance. In Lang Zhuoyang's office, Xiaolu was placed on a pale yellow sofa. Lang Zhuoyang handed her a sky blue bunny pillow, and she quietly embraced the bunny pillow in a daze. "When I come to consult with patients, I feel relaxed. The decoration here is warmer." Lang Zhuoyang explained, and asked Lin Yingying to sit down as well. "Xiaolu and Baiqiao have been in love, and they are a very good couple. It is reasonable to say that Principal Mao should be familiar with Xiaolu, but her reaction is too cold." Lin Yingying thought about the words, "Well, It’s just too deliberate, which makes people feel weird.” Lang Zhuoyang turned on the speaker, and the soothing piano music filled the room, Xiao Lu was startled, and actually smiled. "It's just a normal state of mind for parents." "Huh?" Lin Yingying didn't understand. "Baiqiao was born in a scholarly family. His mother is the principal, his father is an official, and his uncle is a wealthy businessman. With such a family background, do you think his parents will accept ordinary girls? His daughter-in-law must be She is a famous lady. So Principal Mao's reaction is very normal." A little pink shadow outside the door poked her head, and Lin Yingying smiled suddenly: "Are you talking about your family's criteria for choosing a wife?" Obviously he saw it too, and hurriedly pulled Bai Li'er outside the door in.Pamper her like a princess, "My parents grew up abroad, they are open-minded and never interfere in my affairs." Feeling that there was something in his words, Lin Yingying raised her eyebrows: "You mean Baiqiao..." She suddenly said, "Very normal?" When Lang Zhuoyang said these four words just now, he obviously bit the accent . "You suspect..." Her face was a little pale, "No wonder you left the evidence of the gold powder on it, what do you mean?" "I'm waiting for that person to surrender." Lang Zhuoyang replied calmly. He thought for a while, then asked with a gentle smile, "Li'er, are you sleepy?" She lay down obediently, laying her pillow on his lap, yawned, fell asleep, and revealed sweetness in her dream. smile.He stroked her long hair affectionately, his movements were as gentle as if it was a peerless treasure in his arms. "I checked Xiaolu just now and found that she is pregnant." "Impossible!" Lin Yingying stood up excitedly, "I have lived with her for more than two months, she never comes home at night, she stays in the dormitory all the time, and I can see her every time in class. She and I are not only in the same dormitory, but also in the same class." Lin Yingying was anxious, but she still analyzed clearly: "What's more, there is an aunt guarding the door of the dormitory. She has gone out at night, and the aunt must know." When hypnotizing Xiaolu, Lin Yingying was also on the side.Because Xiaolu's mental state is very unstable, so introverted, she must have kept all the secrets tightly.Unable to ask, the best way is hypnosis. Lin Yingying seemed to have entered a dim time tunnel, stepping forward step by step, following Lang Zhuoyang's footsteps, not only the little deer, but even Lin Yingying saw it, she saw a beautiful world. At that time, Fawn was pure and simple, wearing plain clothes, but the transparent and healthy apple red on her face could not conceal her beauty and vigor.It is still the lotus pond, where the lotus plants are in full bloom, full of spring, and everything is bright and beautiful. Suddenly a vague figure appeared in front of him, looking very familiar, Lin Yingying chased after it, it turned out to be Xiaolu.The world has changed, there is darkness everywhere, the sun and the moon have no light, and the world is upside down.But the fawn was struggling, she was in pain.Lin Yingying wanted to run over to save her, but couldn't move, she suddenly saw the dead old Xu, half of his head rolling on the ground, his eyes were staring at Lin Yingying resentfully, and only half of his face was left. On his face, thick black poisonous blood continued to overflow from his lips. Lin Yingying was blocked by the ghost, and Mao Xin'an smiled ferociously. A vague and unfamiliar figure showed sympathy and pain, and wanted to help Xiaolu, but could do nothing.And the deer in the distance fell down in the weeds, and a heavy black shadow was covering her body... "Ah!" Lin Yingying woke up dripping with sweat, facing Lang Zhuoyang's innocent face.He smiled helplessly, and handed her a glass of water: "I didn't expect you to be hypnotized too." Yes, Lang Zhuoyang just let her watch from the sidelines, but she herself was sucked in by the huge magnetic field. "I finally understand why you climbed to your current position at such a young age, your professional use is too good." "If it was as good as you said, Li'er wouldn't be what she is now." His sigh was barely audible. "That's because in the role of patient and doctor, you fell in love with your patient and were obsessed with the authorities, so you didn't notice the problem at the first time." Lin Yingying calmly analyzed, "Okay, can you explain the dream just now? ?” "Maybe it's hard for you to understand. But at least it's true in Xiaolu's world view. Xiaolu became pregnant because of her union with a ghost." "How is it possible!" Lin Yingying's eyes widened in disbelief, and she gesticulated with her hands and asked, "Is everything that was said in the hypnosis true?" "One hundred percent truth." Lang Zhuoyang affirmed. "Then, then..." Lin Yingying ended her words. "It's Xiaolu's mind that has serious problems. She has delusions. This is different from 'psychological compensation'. She suffered from schizophrenia and delusions because of some serious psychological stimulation. The more introverted she is The deeper the people feel about the stimulus, the stronger the basis for splitting, and the splitting is inevitable." "You're saying she'll be driven insane more easily than the average person." "The popular saying is this. We need to find out the current identity of Baiqiao and Xiaolu." Lang Zhuoyang said calmly, but the speed of speech was a little faster. "Her family now?" Lin Yingying unconsciously emphasized the word 'now'.This is really a very intelligent girl, Lang Zhuoyang has to admit that her comprehension ability is very strong. "In your dream, the vague figure is blurred because you don't know him. But in Xiaolu's story, what I saw was the most important person to Xiaolu. That person is very distinct, not at all Fuzzy, these are the feelings Xiaolu gave me, then this person must be Xiaolu's closest family." In the middle of the night, while Lang Zhuoyang was still doing data analysis, the phone rang suddenly, and it was from the police station: "This afternoon, some high-level officials from the school were invited back for questioning. Well, according to your request, the lotion and gold powder in Lao Xu's hand will also be taken away." Tell them about being attached to others." Lang Zhuoyang put down the phone with satisfaction. It was really quiet tonight, too quiet.Tired from doing research, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom, turned on the water, and turned on the stereo. The music was so good that he forgot that the water was already full.The mist filled the air, and the bathroom was unduly hot.As soon as he took off his shirt, he saw a line of blood written on the wall that was dazzled by water vapor: Don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise... Lang Zhuoyang, who was still looking at the line of blood characters with great interest, was startled when a red blood pear flower vaguely appeared under the ellipsis.Want to be bad for Li'er?He can tolerate him dealing with him, but he must not hurt Li'er. The temperature of the water was too high, and the mist filled the air, making it impossible to see anything except the white lights from the lamps.Even the stereo was damp, and the pronunciation was blurred, floating in the night like a ghost.Everywhere is wet and greasy.His hand accidentally knocked over something, and the blue liquid flowed out and slid across his feet. Damn it, he must have knocked over the hair water. His feet were too slippery, and he fell to the ground without paying attention.His breath was taken away in an instant, and a pair of hands appeared behind him, a pair of small but powerful hands, pinching him tightly.He was about to suffocate, his mind was completely blank, and he was just struggling instinctively.The eyes were congested and getting redder, as if they were about to spill blood and tears. His hands clenched those little hands tightly, and a little finger was clasped between his throats, giving him a moment to catch his breath.The leg is still kicking something, hoping to find a point of leverage.But his movements became slower and slower, and he could no longer lift his feet.He thought he was dead, when suddenly a bright light blazed, the door opened, and then he heard anxious footsteps, the hands behind him suddenly loosened and disappeared. When he woke up again, he reflexively jumped up to see Li'er.The eyeballs moved, and seeing the quiet Li'er beside her, she finally let go of her heart.It was Lin Yingying who saved him. That night, Lin Yingying couldn't sleep alone, Xiaolu lived in the medical office, and the entire dormitory was empty.So she wanted to talk to Lang Zhuoyang about the case.When she arrived at Lang Zhuoyang's residence on the second floor of the teacher's dormitory, she saw that the door was unlocked, but there was a "dong dong" sound from the room, as if someone was struggling. When she found the bathroom, she found that the door was locked.But the noise inside got louder, so she went to the kitchen in a hurry to get a kitchen knife, opened the door, and slammed in.At that time, she only saw the blood shadow on the wall behind Lang Zhuoyang disappear in a flash, and the force that dragged Lang Zhuoyang also disappeared along with the blood shadow, and Lang Zhuoyang fell half a meter away. "Someone is trying to harm you." Lin Yingying said calmly, "It seems that your investigation has already stepped into his range, so that's why he forced the other party to take action." "It also proves that the direction of my investigation is correct." Lang Zhuoyang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and even his heart and lungs ached.There was a bruised black strangle mark on his neck, very thin, not like a human hand.Because Lin Yingying had already heard what happened from him, she pursed her lips and said, "For such a thin strangle mark, Old Xu said there was a little ghost, the ghost just now..." "It's impossible for any kid to follow. It should be using some kind of tool, such as a rope." "The rope is thicker than this strangle mark," Lin Yingying immediately interrupted him, feeling very agitated, "Even if it was strangled by a rope, why haven't we found anything now? Don't talk about the rope, even if you have a rope, you need someone Let's do the 'squeeze' movement, even a big man can't break free. I can't think of any strength other than ghosts..." He patted her hand in a timely manner: "Okay, don't get excited. I remember clearly that I tightened the bottle of blue hair water every time I used it up, but this time when I touched it on the ground, the cap opened , someone obviously twisted it loose. It's man-made, we just need proof." "This case is very similar to the one in my dormitory. There are inexplicable blood shadows. Could it be done by the same person?" Lang Zhuoyang's answer was not clear, but only pointed out the most important point: "There was a blood shadow in your dormitory, but no one was injured. What I can think of is that these three cases can be classified as the same case. " With Lin Yingying's support, he came to the bathroom. The police received Lin Yingying's call and they were about to arrive.Therefore, even though Lang Zhuoyang searched carefully, he never messed up the scene.He calculated the position where he slipped and fell, looked around from there, and finally fixed his eyes on the hanger, the shower, and the curtains that formed a triangle diagonal to them. The curtains can be stretched freely in a semicircular arc, strung The curtain is made of iron wire. Looking at the shower rack again, there is a deep scratch on it, which obviously didn't exist before.He searched carefully, and finally found that there were nicks on the curtain and the hanger, and half of the curtain was scratched down by this nick, so that it was about to be broken in two. Looking at these, Lang Zhuoyang smiled imperceptibly. Not long after, the police officers came in to collect evidence. Lang Zhuoyang whispered something to a police officer, and then sat on the sofa beside him. A police officer also sat down, took out a sterilized knife and placed it in Lang Zhuoyang's Scratching lightly on the pulp of the little finger, the scar that had already formed was cut open after a while, and some blood was put into the small container.After finishing the process and pasting the tape, the police officer patted Lang Zhuoyang on the shoulder: "I hope it will come in handy." When everyone saw Su Baiqiao, he simply admitted that the child Xiaolu was pregnant with was his, and said that he loved Xiaolu very much and would be responsible. These words were beyond Lin Yingying's expectations, and what he said proved that Xiaolu's mental state was chaotic and serious.The Langsu family were family friends, and Lang Zhuoyang put his arms around Baiqiao's shoulder like a brother: "Treat her well." "I really envy you, Zhuoyang." He smiled self-deprecatingly, his handsome face was full of helplessness, "You have had your own opinions since you were a child, and you received a Western-style education. You are independent, and you are better than others in everything, unlike me. ..." "Let the past be the past." After sending Baiqiao away, Lin Yingying said something naughty: "It seems that you still know a lot about the past and inside stories that are unknown." Lang Zhuoyang shrugged, as if everything was irrelevant, "No wonder You will insist on hypnotizing Xiaolu, you and Su are family friends, so it is not considered private to you." He nodded amusedly: "Yes, yes. Otherwise, I would be a gossip." Lin Yingying chuckled and replied, "I know that you are actually very enthusiastic about people." When the preliminary findings came out, Fawn was no longer the Fawn it used to be.Xiaolu's father was originally an orphan, but recently found his biological parents, so Xiaolu has become a daughter of a family.Xiaolu's grandfather is a man of great background, so today's socialite Xiaolu is no longer called Xiaolu, but has changed her name to Chen Lu. “果然不再是过去的小鹿了。”当林影影在感叹时，作为小鹿唯一的好友，她被邀请出席了陈麓与苏柏桥的订婚礼。 那日的场景异常豪华，陈家所有人都出席了，陈峰很疼爱这个丢失了如此久的乖巧孙女。林影影和朗濯阳一起出席的，林影影不得不叹：“希望小鹿以后能快快乐乐的，能找回亲人，真是上天垂怜。” 朗濯阳不置可否：“是柏桥在海外成立了一个基金，用于寻找陈家。因为小鹿的父亲是走失的孤儿，他是知道的。不过是人力，哪来的天意。” “柏桥在和毛校长对抗？” 朗濯阳听罢，满意地点了点头，她很聪明：“柏桥在毛校长的逼迫下去了外国留学。那段时间他异常艰苦，放弃了中文，专攻理科。至于理科志愿他是偷偷改的，然后他一边读书一边进大公司工作，研发了软件，卖出专利得了不少钱，而后以此为本，搞了家小公司，慢慢地积累了不少的财富。可以说，他现在已经完全摆脱了父母的掌控。” 当毛心安见到陈麓时，大加赞赏，这让林影影很不解：“毛校长看不起过去的小鹿，怕是连她真正长什么样也没看清楚过吧。”他“嗤”的一声冷笑，满是蔑视。他和苏家来往甚密，但毛心安从不喜欢他的，因为他能完全地看透每个人的心。 “难怪你用了'非常正常'来形容她。”林影影终于明白。 “还记得小鹿吗，毛女士？”好戏开始了，朗濯阳撞了撞林影影的肩，让她瞧好了。原来是小鹿在和毛心安说话。毛心安注视着一身精致打扮的小鹿，眼神茫然。今晚的小鹿是很美的，她身上穿的是一件海蓝的修身小礼裙，发间戴了小巧的公主发冠，上缀无数钻石。她就如钻石一般的耀眼美丽。 “小鹿，我就是那个乔小鹿。”她微微含了笑，得体大方，唇边掀起的弧度带了些意味。她本就高，穿了水晶鞋越发地高挑，含笑低首看着脸色越来越苍白的毛心安。“想不到我也会成为公主吗？嗯，我是你儿子捧在手心里的公主。”她不会忘了这个女人是怎样地羞辱她，羞辱她爸爸，和那个可怜的未能出世的孩子。 “不就是为了那个孽种不影响你儿子的名声，然后像今天这样，让他风光地和名媛共结良缘吗！”她微微地笑着，吐字如刀，一刀一刀地凌迟着毛心安。 老许绝对不止一次见过小鹿，这是朗濯阳提出的设想。但林影影却不以为然，思考间，手无意识地抚上手臂挠了起来。 一朵梨花飘落，花蕊上淡黄的花粉黏在了朗濯阳的臂间。一阵香风而过，簌簌地又落下了好些梨花。雪白的花瓣黏在了他的眉梢发间，一两瓣轻盈地落在他的肩膀上。这样的美好，竟让林影影看呆了。她不自觉地伸出了手，想取下那瓣轻伏于他肩头的花瓣。 而他轻轻地退了一步，手一拨，那片花瓣飘落地上。他疏朗的笑声打破了尴尬：“做个实验吧，我现在把掌中的花粉印在你臂上，”结果是尽管有些许花粉通过两人的接触残留在了林影影的身上，但极轻，一晃便没了，“所以尽管小鹿用的乳液有比较强的粘附性，但也不会只接触过一次就能黏上明显的金粉量的。局里来消息，老许的衣服上也腻了许多金粉，只是太细微处，我们没有看见罢了。” “你是说小鹿在我眼皮底下跑出宿舍许多次？” “当然，”朗濯阳点了点头，“不然怎么解释她怀上柏桥的孩子。” 匆匆来到女生宿舍楼，朗濯阳进入林影影所在宿舍后，便从窗台处爬了出去，那里有个一米宽的小阳台，可种些花草。在放大镜的探视下，一切蛛丝马迹无所遁形。因为这里不高，小鹿就是沿着水管，从三米高的窗台爬下去的，所以管理员阿姨什么也没察觉。 “小鹿为什么要频繁找老许？”林影影的心中全是疑问。 “大家对老许的评价怎样？”朗濯阳有目的性地提问。 老许虽是图书管理员，也素有学问。他为人谨慎、内向，从不多管闲事，但有人需要帮忙也会乐于帮助。而且认准了目标，就会把这件事一直做下去。“是个挺执拗的人吧，”林影影想了想，说，“他住在员工宿舍，从图书馆下班往他宿舍走，是根本不需要到这边来的，走到这边就成了绕远路了。但他每天早上上班都很固定地往这边走，再绕过去到图书馆。本来我也不认识他的，就是在回宿舍的路上碰见了许多次，才觉得他这个人应该挺固执，挺拗的，而且为人还有些古怪。” “他是一直都这样上下班吗？” “那倒也不是，”林影影再想了想，“他是在一年前才开始坚持走远路的，风雨无阻。” “风雨无阻？” “是的。”林影影肯定道。 “他不是一个多管闲事的人，”朗濯阳反复咀嚼这句话，“我们也往那条路走走吧。” 一路走来，朗濯阳都在不停地问问题，林影影认真回想，再回答，把准确的信息告诉他：“是的，我未搬来之前，小鹿的宿舍一直在这边。她平常喜欢来这里租书和影碟看，她总是在这个B区的饭堂吃饭，这个荷塘也是她常来的地方。” 朗濯阳忽然停下脚步，林影影没注意撞上他高挺的脊背，抬头便看见他欣喜的笑容，那样熠熠生辉：“这一带全是小鹿的活动范围，她是一年多前才进到这所大学，而老许就是从那时起绕远路走过小鹿常出现的地方。” “你是说他和小鹿……” 朗濯阳指了指对面：“荷塘对面就是图书馆，我们进去看看吧。”两人进入了图书馆，找到了老许的办公室，因为有时是需要值夜的，所以老许的办公室俨然布置得既是工作间又是休息室。 窄小的单人床旁靠着床头柜。朗濯阳仔细看了看，果然发现有金粉，于是打开柜子，里面只放了一张折叠好的方形字条。打开看，上写一个电子邮箱。“是掩盖了真实地址的电子邮箱，例如这个邮箱'@'前原本是数字的，可以换为英文或其他字符，收信的人是不知道它原来的字符是什么的。”林影影平静地说着。 “所以这是老许故意留给我们的提示了。”朗濯阳把纸条放好，离开。 电话接通了，朗濯阳长话短说：“安东尼，你是电脑高手，这件事交给你好了。”安东尼是私家侦探，他一听，道：“普通的密码怕是难不倒你吧？” “所以我要破的不是普通密码。”朗濯阳难得幽上一默。 走在安静的宿舍楼里，林影影的心跳有些快，宿舍已经只剩下她一人了。正要拿钥匙开门，却发现里面有声音，里面不是没有人在吗？ 原来宿舍门没有锁紧，能听见声响。 “我没事，不会忘记我们的计划的。只是我没想到老许会死，我不是故意的。” 听了这段话，林影影只觉全身冰冷，声音她认得，是小鹿的。林影影把门推开了些，想看清楚，黑暗中，忽然伸出了一双手，快速地插进了小鹿的眼睛里。林影影吓得忙捂住了嘴巴，逃了出去。 她找到朗濯阳时，已几近崩溃了，嘴里不住念叨着：“有人杀了小鹿，小鹿没了眼睛，很恐怖。老许是小鹿杀的，恐怖……”她就站在朗濯阳宿舍的窗台上，朗濯阳费劲地安慰着她。她头一低，便看见了小鹿站在窗下，朝她机械地挥动着手。“她，她……” 朗濯阳忙转身去看，楼下什么也没有。“你镇定些。”他的语气和缓，似有魔力，让她慢慢安静下来。两人一起回了宿舍，但宿舍里没有小鹿。朗濯阳打通了电话，柏桥说了，小鹿一直在他身旁，早睡下了。 “你要相信我！”她拉扯着朗濯阳的衣服，已经是哀求了。“我信你。”他蹲下身子，找着什么东西，在堆满杂物的角落处找得尤为仔细，不久笑着抬头，“找到了。” 原来是隐形眼镜，最奇特的是，这副眼镜全透明，但眼珠部分却染成了灰黑色，形状也不似圆形的眼珠形状，更像一个人影。朗濯阳小心地把它放进袋子里：“从你说什么抠眼睛、小鹿眼里出现鬼影，我就怀疑是这个作怪了。眼镜里还有金粉，拿去做鉴定，我相信应该是小鹿戴的。” “那一切的事都是她搞出来的，她精神没有问题，一直都在骗我们？” 警察的再次拜访在朗濯阳的意料之中，捎上林影影，一行人一起在朗濯阳的宿舍看了精彩的一幕戏。在浴室里，法证人员在一块缝隙处略显得大的砖块上喷上喷雾，一个巴掌就显了出来，然后大家把瓷砖卸下，里面有一个鸡蛋大的空间，空间里还静置了一把类似小弹弓的工具，法政人员把一段铁索扣进弹弓工具里，再塞上瓷砖，把一个假人的手往挂衣架上一碰，铁丝猛地刮下，扣到了和朗濯阳一样高度的假人脖子上，当假人加上自身重量下坠时达到一定值，便断开铁丝，弹弓收缩从缝隙处收回了那段铁丝进瓷砖后的空间里。 “因为你的小指当时扣进铁丝，有了一丝喘息的机会，所以逃过了一劫，而手指里的伤口有铁丝的残留物和乳液的金粉成分在里面，这些成分与小鹿身上涂的乳液成分、老许身上的成分都是一样的。包括你后来给我的这张黏有乳液金粉的透明胶片都是一样的。对了，这块胶片你是从哪里得来的？”警员向朗濯阳询问。 正要回答，警员的电话响了：“安东尼有结果了吗？已经破解了？很好！”他转而向朗说道，“邮箱密码破解，可以看到里面的收发内容。” “这样的杀人方法不是一定成功的吧？”林影影还是问出了这个疑惑，她觉得如此布置，不一定能准确地钩住人脖子。 “经过反复试验，是可以成功的。”警员给出肯定回答，“不过得是精通物理算数的人才能如此布置，而且可以自由进出校园宿舍，应该是校园里的熟人所为。” 瓷砖后空间里的那段长长的铁丝被取了出来：“那人看来还来不及重新进入这里取出工具。”警员的神色颇有兴味。 “我想其实那人并不想真的取我性命，起码没有下定决心非要我的命。”朗濯阳沉声道。 正在整理铁丝的法政人员笑了笑，赞道：“你估计得没错，因为中段有个结，很明显是人为地扭断了，想必是当时经过了一番挣扎，最后用一种很特殊的物理扭法把铁丝扭断，无需借用工具，徒手扭断，并且缩短了铁丝的承重量。所以你摔倒挣扎时，铁丝断开，保了一命。” 等警员离开，朗濯阳才叹了一口气，道：“我确定凶手是谁了。” 闹腾了一个晚上，终于静了下来，天色浓黑无光，已是凌晨了。本已一起离开宿舍的朗濯阳和林影影，从后面水管处爬进了宿舍。 “你确定那人会来？”林影影不无紧张。 “会的，我找来一些来历不明的人在宿舍里折腾老半天，还把浴室灯开得通亮，一定会引起那人注意的。” 静，无比的静，朗濯阳本来接到了一个心理学国际讨论会，为了就美国那边的时间，校方安排视像会议在凌晨两点开。他已经安排了另一个人替他开，所以此刻他能从会议室逃出来。 门外传来了轻微的脚步声，林影影紧了紧攥住衣衫的手，看向一旁的朗濯阳，他紧抿着唇，轮廓坚毅，眼神冷静自信，于是她也放下心来。 门被推开了，来者摸黑一路奔至浴室。浴室里传来了不大的响声。“你在找这个吧？”灯亮起，朗濯阳把手上去了铁丝的弹弓工具举高。“也只有身为物理教授的你，才能布下那个杀人装置。” 林影影看清了，正是毛心安。 “你也并非真要我命，所以才会在犹豫间扭断了铁丝，上面留有你的血，尽管戴了手套，但仍使你受伤了。你还是自首吧。”他连考虑的机会也不给她了。 毛心安眼睛通红，泪流了出来：“没错，是我想警告你，所以才会出此下策。” “你为什么要杀死老许？”林影影对着自己的校长，不敢相信。从朗濯阳在毛心安手上悄悄地印下金粉，她便知道，毛心安和老许有过多次接触。 “因为他知道柏桥和那贱女人有过一个孽种的事，所以我拿钱给他，让他走。谁料他却自杀了，所以他不是我杀的。” “贱女人不是成了你儿媳吗？”林影影的话满是嘲讽。毛心安猛地抬头，狠狠地瞪住林影影。 朗濯阳把一叠打印出来的信递给她：“怕是只有死人才能守住秘密吧。尽管你答应给钱，也知道老许有晚期癌症，迟早都是死，所以你怂恿他自杀，那就可以得到更多的钱，也为此，你和他有过多次见面，所以才会粘上了难抹去的金粉。” 顿了顿，他继续说：“只是老许不甘心，他知道自己会死，但多活一秒便能见家人更久些。他舍不得，但你逼他，所以他选择了在小鹿宿舍自杀，还留下了线索，把矛头引向你。而你怕我查到什么，所以要杀了我灭口。” “我有什么错，我不过是想护住儿子的名声。” “妈妈，你错了。”柏桥从黑暗里走了出来，“如果不是濯阳让我亲眼看到，我真不相信是真的。” 柏桥踏前了一步：“我知道你是为我好，但好的标准是什么？好的生活、物质的东西？做人应该有责任，小鹿怀孕，我有责任，我并非没有能力，我能照顾起一个家庭。小鹿并非什么名媛，但她是个好女孩。你使计骗我出国，我连有个孩子都不知道，你还去羞辱她、她的爸爸，使她在六个月时大血崩，连命都差点没了。当时血流了一床一地，她的腰下腿部全是血，所以她总是不断地拿乳液涂抹腿部，就是要涂去那腥臭无比的血气。你做的一切，没有责任感、失了人伦，只想着控制我。你真的只是为我好吗？你不过是想满足你自己的控制欲！小鹿换了一个身份，你连她的样貌都没有看清，你就喜上眉梢，你要的不过是一个好听的名分，上流社会的名分而已。作为一校之长，你就是教你的儿子、你的学生做个没有良心、不负责任、只懂追求物质享受的人吗？” 毛心安跌坐在地，多虚伪的一个女人啊，林影影对她嗤之以鼻。 “小鹿的精神状况时好时坏，但她也时刻想着我，她后来发现老许知道了她的秘密，于是让老许不要说出去。她怕宿舍的人迟早会发现她的秘密，所以才会装鬼吓她们，好搬离这个宿舍。只要在花洒处放进一种药，出来的热水就会变红了。”柏桥转身向林影影道歉，林影影笑一笑，原谅了他。“老许知道自己活不了多久，才会用委婉的方式让小鹿放下一切，那个跟着的所谓鬼影其实就是小鹿的心魔，她觉得对不住那个未能出世的孩子，所以老许让她放下。真是个睿智的老人啊！也是他找了许多人才联系到我，把小鹿的事全告诉了我。所以我回来了，我要对我们所造的孽做出补偿。妈妈，去自首吧。” 朗濯阳踏前一步，道：“估计没错，毛校长就是听到了林影影的宿舍出现了鬼影的事，用了同样的手法利用化学方法在我浴室制造了同样的鬼影来迷惑大家吧。” “是！”毛心安昂起头，无丝毫歉意。 “她犯了教唆他人自杀罪，应该得到惩罚。”林影影冷静地说出。朗濯阳接了个电话，道：“警方在物理试验室废墟里找到了用以反复演练铁丝杀人的材料。” 而朗濯阳早安排了的一干警员从外面进来，柏桥激动地握住了警员的手：“她不是有意的，可不可以缓刑？”转而拉着朗求情，“我有什么可以做的？我可以请律师，妈妈真的知道错了。” 看着自己的儿子向着众人百般求情，毛心安心里一震，对着儿子一笑：“妈妈错了。” 说完，她向警员走去。
