Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Who is Angela Chang

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Li Yiming are lovers.The two studied at a second-rate foreign language university in Beijing, one with a Japanese department and the other with a German department. Zhou Xiaoxiao is the kind of girl who is not good at talking. She doesn't have many friends, and her popularity is average.Looking back on the three and a half years of university, her life was not bright at all. In this foreign language university where there are many female students, Li Yiming can be regarded as outstanding, with a slender figure of 1.82 meters, a handsome appearance, thick eyebrows, a straight nose, deep eyes, especially that magnetic voice, which often provokes the school girls to "" coveting", it was just that Zhou Xiaoxiao watched Li Yiming too closely, which made it difficult for them to do so.

There is a handsome boyfriend by her side, which makes Zhou Xiaoxiao live in fear every day, for fear that one day Li Yiming will cheat on her and be snatched away by a third party.She is often jealous of her classmates in the dormitory, and sometimes she can't figure out why Li Yiming is with her, a silent girl.In contrast, Li Yiming is not only handsome, but also excellent in all aspects. He has been elected as the chairman of the department's student union for several consecutive terms, and he can get a first-class scholarship every year. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt inferior and felt that it was too tiring to live under Li Yiming's shadow.She had tried countless times to end this "unsuitable" relationship, but when she saw Li Yiming's hearty and sunny smile, she immediately gave up her previous thoughts.After all, she really loves Li Yiming too much.In her eyes, Li Yiming is her whole world.

Li Yiming never underestimated Zhou Xiaoxiao, whenever she was sad, he would go to comfort her and listen to Angela Chang's music with her. Both of them are loyal fans and die-hard fans of Angela Chang.After all, their relationship is still related to Angela Chang. I remember that it was a weekend night when Angela Chang held a concert tour in Gongti.However, the fare was overpriced by the scalpers. Zhou Xiaoxiao had no money, so she had to stand at the door with a large group of fans to cheer for the idol.After a while, in the vast crowd, she found a tall and straight figure.That is Li Yiming.At that time, Li Yiming was jumping up and down holding the idol's sign, his whole body was radiant, which made Zhou Xiaoxiao feel slightly drunk.

Li Yiming also noticed her, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then Li Yiming suddenly ran to her side and said, "I found that you look quite like Zhang Shaohan." "Oh, really?" Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help touching her face.In fact, more than one person has said that she looks like Angela Chang, it's just that she doesn't like to dress up and she doesn't look so outstanding. Around the common topic of Angela Chang, the two chatted very speculatively, as if they would never meet again.To Zhou Xiaoxiao's surprise and pleasant surprise, the two of them were actually alumni of the same foreign studies university.

Since then, the two people have been inseparable on the campus's boulevards, cafeterias, libraries, and movie theaters. Later, they both fell in love. Regarding Li Yiming's perseverance, Zhou Xiaoxiao secretly vowed: must work hard, live out her own splendor, and break out a world. Seeing that the university is coming to an end, Zhou Xiaoxiao is worried, what should I do in society?Will she and Li Yiming have a future? On this day, when Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to the girls' dormitory, several sisters were chattering and discussing non-stop. "What are you talking about?" she asked curiously.

"Xiaoxiao, just now Li Ran said that she was going to participate in some champion idol imitation contest, I laughed to death." A sister said to Zhou Xiaoxiao. "Hey, I was just joking." Another girl pouted. "Xiaoxiao, don't many people say that you look like Zhang Shaohan? I think you can try it, maybe you won't show your face, you are lucky to be able to squeeze into the top 100 in the country." The third girl obviously sarcastically and sarcastically tone. "Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao is the civilian version of Angela Chang." Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou Xiaoxiao ignored them, picked up the newspaper on the table, and saw the big news at a glance-a certain TV station will hold a "Champion Idol Imitation Contest". Can become a signed artist of the TV station. At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly had an urge to try.That's right, and it is true that several people have said that she looks like Angela Chang.If you go to participate in this competition by yourself, will there be any miracles? 100,000 yuan is enough to make people jealous, and you can still work in the TV station, with good pay and face.Ha ha!Those classmates at school who laughed at her all day long weren't mad with envy?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt that a turning point that could change her destiny was coming.She must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At noon, all the students in the dormitory went out to eat.Zhou Xiaoxiao closed the door of the dormitory, found a poster of Angela Chang as a reference, and then repeatedly studied her face shape, eyes, nose bridge, lips, and chin in front of the mirror... After such a comparison, she found that her eyes and face shape There are some similarities with Zhang Shaohan, but the eyelids, lips, nose bridge and other parts are very different.Zhou Xiaoxiao was somewhat depressed and disappointed, realizing that she had no advantage in front of a large number of draftees, and she might be PKed out in the first round.If this is the case, then I will be ashamed this time.

what can we do about it?How to do it? Zhou Xiaoxiao walked back and forth in the dormitory by herself for several times, when a fashionable word suddenly popped up in her mind: plastic surgery!We must know that nowadays medical technology is more and more developed, and it is not difficult to clone a person, so what is plastic surgery? The heart that had just cooled down became hot again. Zhou Xiaoxiao turned on the computer, quickly searched out several authoritative plastic surgery hospitals in the local area, and then called one by one to explain the situation and ask about the cost.However, the astronomical figure given by the other party made her heart fall into the ice cave again.

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't want to give up so easily, and visited a few hospitals in person the next day, almost tearfully stating her wish to participate in the draft competition, hoping to reduce some fees, but the hospital didn't listen to her talking about it. Very impatiently declined. Just when she was disheartened, a doctor from a plastic surgery hospital suddenly called her and said: "We are a plastic surgery institution that just came to Beijing from South Korea. I heard that you are going to participate in the talent show. We are very interested." .If you are willing to be the publicity spokesperson of our hospital in the future, then we can give you free surgery..."

When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this, she was immediately elated and ecstatic, and agreed without hesitation. The contract will be signed immediately. Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't tell Li Yiming about this, she thought, and then give him a surprise after the operation, maybe he will die of excitement then. Therefore, Zhou Xiaoxiao asked the school for a few weeks of vacation, and lied to Li Yiming that there were some accidents at home, and then disappeared. Everything went well. After the operation, Zhou Xiaoxiao's head was wrapped in gauze like a mummy, and she lay in the hospital for a while. Then, the stitching began. When the gauze was removed layer by layer, Zhou Xiaoxiao finally saw her own face in front of the mirror.At that moment, she was stunned—— God!Isn't this Angela Chang herself? It turns out that a sparrow can also become a phoenix. When Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to school, she immediately attracted a 100% return rate, and the sensation it caused in the school was no less than dropping a nuclear bomb. What surprised her even more was that several handsome boys ran over shyly and asked her for autographs.At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed by flattery, and at the same time wept with joy. It seemed that all these efforts were not in vain, and the door to success had begun to open to her. Zhou Xiaoxiao met Li Yiming in front of the girls' dormitory.At that time, Li Yiming's surprised expression was as if he saw a visitor from outside the sky. "Yiming, do you think I look good?" Zhou Xiaoxiao leaned over her face proudly and asked. "Xiaoxiao, why did you become like this?" "Isn't that good? Isn't it as beautiful as before?" "It's much prettier, but..." Li Yiming's lips squirmed a few times, and he swallowed what he wanted to say, with a painful expression on his face. "Yiming, but what? Tell me quickly." "Xiaoxiao, I still like the way you used to be, simple and natural, but your current appearance makes me feel very awkward." Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned after listening, she almost collapsed.But Li Yiming quickly put his arms around her and said, "What you are going to do must have your reasons. No matter what the result is, I will support you." Zhou Xiaoxiao was so moved that she almost shed tears. Back in the dormitory, the sisters gathered together one after another.A girl stared at the bridge of her nose and said, "Like! It's so similar!" "Xiaoxiao, this operation is so perfect that there is almost no trace of the knife." "It's almost like twins. You will wear sunglasses when you go out." "Xiaoxiao, strive to win the championship and win glory for us. We will support you to the end." "Actually, I have already seen that Xiaoxiao of our family has the appearance of a champion. If she doesn't win the championship, who will she win?" "That's right, Xiaoxiao, after taking 100,000 yuan, you must treat us to a big meal." This chirping made Zhou Xiaoxiao very useful, and at the same time, she deeply felt an unprecedented pressure. The next day, Zhou Xiaoxiao went to the TV station to sign up early in the morning, and the staff at the scene gave her a high evaluation.But the game still has to rely on strength to speak. The first stage of the competition is the audition. Many contestants gathered in the background of the live broadcast room.Zhou Xiaoxiao stood among them, constantly looking at these future opponents.There are Michael Jackson imitators, Jay Chou imitators, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung imitators, etc., but there are not many who can really achieve similarity in appearance and temperament.Some contestants clearly entered the competition with the mentality of coming to play.This greatly increased her confidence and made her feel more relaxed. Zhou Xiaoxiao walked up and down the backstage hall like a proud swan with her head raised, attracting many coveted eyes. Suddenly, she felt a numbness in her spine, as if there were two eyes staring at her behind her. She turned her head suddenly and found a girl staring at her coldly.This girl surprised her, the other party was also an imitator of Zhang Shaohan.With big eyes, a delicate oval face, curly long hair and bright and fair skin, she is always the focus of attention wherever she goes, and she is so beautiful. Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. The curly-haired girl came over, looked at her strangely and said, "Hello, my name is Ning Meng." "Hello, I... My name is Zhou Xiaoxiao." "I think you look like Angela Chang." "The same to you." "Hehe, see you later on the stage." Ning Meng raised her head and walked slowly past her. Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked by the strong aura she exuded. Subconsciously, she felt that it was a huge pressure to compete with this girl on the same stage. The draft competition adopts an elimination system, which is equivalent to a group arena. It is cruel to have to PK out opponents one by one to participate in the next session. In the audition, Ning Meng's singing and dancing left a deep impression on people.Zhou Xiaoxiao's hard-practiced English songs also drew rounds of applause and nods from the judges.Both made it to the next round. After several rounds of competition, Zhou Xiaoxiao already has a lot of fans. Her fan group is called "Xiaozhou Support Club". During each competition, all members of this fan group will be dispatched to cheer for Zhou Xiaoxiao with sweat.Even the sisters in her dormitory were all there, frantically canvassing for her, and her boyfriend Li Yiming was among them, and he was the head of the support club. It feels so good to be pampered, Zhou Xiaoxiao encouraged herself to grit her teeth and fight until the last second, and never give up until she wins the championship. When it came to the top 12 competition, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Ning Meng, who were brightly dressed, appeared perfectly amidst the intense music, chasing the light just right, which aroused roaring applause from the audience.Everyone focused their eyes and expectations on these two people, and the other players became the green leaves of the foil. Ning Meng in front of her was full of confidence.The strong and fierce aura exuding from her made Zhou Xiaoxiao feel daunted. Ning Meng, who was the first to appear on the stage, sang "Aurora". She was the best at singing and dancing, and performed Angela Chang's cute and dynamic appearance vividly. The following players all lack the power to make people shine. The white chasing light came down, and the scene was quiet.Zhou Xiaoxiao appeared on the stage. She chose a quiet and lyrical song "Invisible Wings". On the basis of no singing skills and gorgeous visual effects, almost all the audience were conquered by her calm singing. Ning Meng and Zhou Xiaoxiao are evenly matched, evenly matched. The final score showed that Ning Meng was only one point ahead of Zhou Xiaoxiao, and the two ranked first and second respectively. The top eight seats have been determined, and the final championship and runner-up competition will be held a week later. In order to facilitate the rehearsal and at the same time ensure that the contestants have sufficient rest time, the TV station specially arranged dormitories for the top eight contestants, one room per person, without disturbing each other. The difference of one point made Zhou Xiaoxiao quite depressed. She knew very well that this point could make all her hard work go to waste, turn one hundred thousand yuan into a phantom in an instant, and change too many things.Including fate. Zhou Xiaoxiao had never felt such a great threat and pressure. At that moment, a terrible thought suddenly came to her heart - let Ning Meng disappear! She secretly said to herself, if Ning Meng didn't disappear, then she would be her biggest stumbling block and most terrifying enemy.And it is very likely that I will not win the championship, nor will I get the 100,000 yuan.At the same time, in front of the sisters in the dormitory and her boyfriend Li Yiming, she will never be able to hold her head up, and she will always be a poor person.So... this person must disappear! Now, she needs some time to calm down her flustered heart. At the same time, she also needs to think carefully about what to do next. In the art of war, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.Zhou Xiaoxiao decided to touch Ning Meng's cards in private first.After several inquiries and follow-ups, she discovered a very important detail: Ning Meng liked to drink, and went to a bar at the back door of the TV station almost every night, even if she was arranged into a single dormitory. How can I make her disappear?Even for a day.These days, Zhou Xiaoxiao has been thinking about this question repeatedly. That afternoon, the weather was fine, and Zhou Xiaoxiao was wandering alone in the TV station compound. She was still very anxious because she couldn't find a suitable solution.As he was walking, a black head popped out of the ground in front of him. She trembled in fright, and stepped back unconsciously. "Girl, did I scare you?" The black head chuckled, showing its white teeth. Zhou Xiaoxiao gathered herself together, and then she saw clearly that it was a cleaning worker who crawled out of the sewer. "What are you doing?" she asked curiously. "There's too much stinky mud and sewage in the pipes below, and we're cleaning them up these days." The worker kept smirking at her. Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.Before she knew it, she walked to the door of a warehouse not far from the dormitory.There was a big hole in the iron gate, probably enough for a person to get in. She poked her head in and took a look. Inside were some abandoned tables and chairs, covered with dust and cobwebs, which should have been abandoned for several years. Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't think much, and walked to the back door of the TV station again, and walked out from there.After walking a few steps, there was another "bang" sound ahead, and Zhou Xiaoxiao stopped suddenly, seeing another head popping out of the ground. After being shocked for a while, the head smiled at her again: "Girl, we meet again." "Ah? Weren't you in the TV station just now?" "Haha, this sewer is connected from the inside to the outside. Go straight down from here and you will be able to walk into the TV station." "Oh. Thought you were doing magic tricks." "I just think you're good-looking, so I want to take a closer look." The worker put on a playful smile. "I hate it." Zhou Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily, and hurried past the workers with her nose covered. After walking a few steps, she turned her head and her eyes fell on the upturned sewer manhole cover again.At that time, her heart suddenly trembled, and a bold plan was finally brewed. In the evening of the next day, when the rehearsal was over, Zhou Xiaoxiao sneaked to a small shop far away from the TV station to buy a raincoat, a pair of gloves and a small flashlight, and then bought clothes and shoes in another clothing store. Finally went to a small private clinic to buy some sleeping pills.Back in the single dormitory of the TV station, she hid all these under the dormitory bed. The night before the final.The sky was dark and very gloomy.The wind mixed with the chill came in gusts, and the bleakness swept across the entire city. Zhou Xiaoxiao walked outside alone for a while, and didn't go to the dormitory building until about half past nine.When she walked through the corridor, she saw that the light in Ning Meng's room was not on, so the girl must have gone to drink again. At around 10:30, she went out again to take a look, and confirmed that Ning Meng still hadn't come back at this time. After another half hour, the lights in most of the dorms went out. Zhou Xiaoxiao changed clothes, put on gloves, opened the window gently, and climbed out carefully. Seeing no one around, she swiftly lifted the cover of the sewer and got in.It was dark inside, and there was a musty, sickly putrid smell, like walking into a grave. She turned on the flashlight, and the beam of light moved back and forth on the half-human-high pipe.A few fat mice wiped her trousers and passed by quickly, so frightened that she almost screamed. A bone-chilling chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, and she inexplicably felt a little uneasy, as if something unexpected would happen tonight.But now there is no turning back.She could only hold back the thought of fear and move towards her goal. Finally, she got under another manhole cover. Holding her breath, she gently lifted the manhole cover a little. Through the gap, she saw the neon lights of the bar not far away were flickering cheerfully. Zhou Xiaoxiao crawled out, changed her raincoat and shoes in a dark corner by the side of the road, took a few deep breaths, and walked towards the bar... The sound in the bar was very loud, the smoke filled the air, the light was dim and ambiguous, and the lights of various colors flickered around, making everyone's faces look unpredictable.A group of people jumped up and down like crazy on the stage.On the small tables on the left and right, a coquettish woman in a tight crop top, leather shorts, and high heels is holding a steel pipe like a water snake... At this time, Zhou Xiaoxiao saw Ning Meng sitting in a dark corner drinking alone.Perhaps to prevent being "harassed" by others, she wore a black hat on her head and a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, deliberately making some "disguise".However, Zhou Xiaoxiao recognized her at a glance.After all, these days, she has been watching the other party's every move, even if it turns into ashes, she still knows it. In fact, Zhou Xiaoxiao also made some modifications all over her body. It is impossible for people who are not particularly familiar with her to notice her. Zhou Xiaoxiao collected herself, walked in front of Ning Meng calmly, stopped on purpose and coughed, Ning Meng raised her head and recognized her immediately. "Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao, why did I see you here?" Ning Meng narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Oh, I just invited my boyfriend over for a drink. Who knows that he didn't come because he had something to do, so I'm going to go back." Zhou Xiaoxiao said calmly. "What are you doing back home? Come and have a drink with me, I'll treat you." Ning Meng said enthusiastically. "This... Didn't the TV station warn you not to come out at night? I'm afraid they will find out if I go back late." "Coward, haven't you already run out?" Ning Meng didn't allow her to say anything, and quickly pulled her aside, and then poured a glass of wine. "Come, come, drink, drink, touch one." Ning Meng picked up the cup, and Zhou Xiaoxiao followed suit, snickering inwardly. After finishing drinking, Ning Meng wiped the drink from her mouth and said: "The competition these days is too intense, and the pressure is too great. I can't stand it without drinking some wine to vent." Zhou Xiaoxiao echoed: "Yes, yes, I don't even know how to face tomorrow's game." "What are you afraid of? I am optimistic about it. You are at least the top three." Ning Meng flattered. Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a little complacent, but pretended to be modest and said: "If it is really as good as you say, I won't worry about it. Hehe, I think you are quite sure of winning the championship." "Xiaoxiao, I will work hard with your words. Come, drink, drink." The two touched several glasses in succession, but Zhou Xiaoxiao pretended to take a sip each time.Ning Meng drank so much that her face was flushed, she stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, "I must be the champion this time, I must! If anyone dares to rob me, hum, I will definitely not let her go!" After finishing speaking, a cold light flashed in her eyes. flash. Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart tightened suddenly, and he said, "Xiaomeng, no one will snatch it from you." "Hehe...Xiaoxiao." Ning Meng put his arms around her neck, breathing alcohol and said, "Will you rob me?" Zhou Xiaoxiao said extremely unnaturally: "I...how can I?" Ning Meng smiled, with a meaningful smile, and said, "Haha, Xiaoxiao, you are too hypocritical! Who in the world would not want to be a champion?" Zhou Xiaoxiao remained silent, took a sip of wine sullenly, and only heard Ning Meng say: "Xiaoxiao, I had a good drink today, my sister wants to give you a gift." She said casually, "What gift?" As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Meng took out a shiny golden watch from his pocket.She took a look, and was immediately taken aback. It turned out to be a valuable gold watch for women, and it was heavy. "No! Xiaomeng, this gift is too expensive, I can't take it." Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly declined. "Xiaoxiao, give me some face, just accept it." "No, no, no reward for no merit, I really can't want it." No matter how she refused, Ning Meng still stubbornly put the watch on her right wrist. "Xiaoxiao, I think this watch was born for you, look at it, how beautiful it is!" Ning Meng exclaimed. Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her wrist, dazzling, she really couldn't put it down, her vanity couldn't help inflating, but after thinking about it, she still felt something wrong, and said, "Xiaomeng, this means I can't..." Ning Meng immediately interrupted her and said: "Xiaoxiao, I know that tomorrow's game will be very tragic, and it is destined to be a duel between you and me. I value this game very much and have prepared for a long time. I hope you don't fight with me. Zheng...Actually, I have wanted to give you this watch for a long time, but I have never had a chance. I will thank you again after I win the championship, how about it?" Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart was shocked suddenly. It turned out that Ning Meng came prepared and tried to bribe her with a gold watch.At this moment, she has no reason to refuse, otherwise Ning Meng will definitely become suspicious. So she said happily, "Thank you." Ning Meng immediately smiled, raised her cup and said, "Come on, Xiaoxiao, keep drinking." After a while, Ning Meng seemed to be drunk, so she shook her head and walked to the bathroom. Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart beat faster, she forced herself to calm down, then observed the movement around her, then poured the powder made from sleeping pills into Ning Meng's wine glass. A few minutes later, Ning Meng returned again, lying on the table and dozing off. Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly pushed her: "Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng..." Ning Meng raised her head, shook her head vigorously, and asked, "What time is it?" "It's almost 12 o'clock." "Oh, then let's go back quickly." Zhou Xiaoxiao raised his glass and said, "Okay, let's go after drinking the last glass." Ning Meng stared at her for a moment, then picked up the wine glass in front of her, and drank it slowly... Zhou Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and was so nervous that she hardly dared to breathe. However, Ning Meng hugged her shoulders as if nothing happened, and said, "Go, go back, don't delay tomorrow's game." Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly carried her out of the door. After walking a few steps, she felt heavier and heavier, as if the medicine had begun to work.Looking again, Ning Meng had closed her eyes and fell asleep. Zhou Xiaoxiao called out tentatively: "Xiaomeng..." Ning Meng didn't respond, her head drooped like a dead fish. Zhou Xiaoxiao sneered and helped Ning Meng out of the bar.There are many drunk guests on this occasion every day, so the two of them did not attract attention. Zhou Xiaoxiao helped Ning Meng to the sewer step by step and put it down, and then she left for a while, observing the movement around her while taking out the raincoat hidden in the corner to change into. After making sure everything was safe, Zhou Xiaoxiao took Ning Meng into the sewer, and dragged her forward by both arms... She was so nervous that her muscles spasmed, she was out of breath from exhaustion, she didn't know how many somersaults she fell, and how long she walked before she bumped Ning Meng to another exit of the sewer.It is on the road in the TV station. Zhou Xiaoxiao slowly opened the manhole cover, looked around vigilantly, but saw no one, and even the lights in the dormitory not far away were all off, and there was a dead silence. She ducked down and crawled out of the sewer, then pulled Ning Meng's body out, and dragged her to the abandoned warehouse in the dark.In normal times, maybe she can't drag a person at all, but in this special environment, a person's potential will be stimulated. She finally managed to transport the dead Ning Meng into the warehouse.At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao collapsed on the ground, as if falling apart. After resting, she bent down and observed Ning Meng carefully.The little girl slept like a dead pig, snoring monotonously and rhythmically. Zhou Xiaoxiao kicked her hard again, but the other party didn't respond.Only then did she feel relieved, and then dragged Ning Meng under a table, and moved a few stools in front of it. After finishing all this, she found her mobile phone in Ning Meng's pocket and pressed the off button. "Xiaomeng, I'm sorry, by the time you wake up, tomorrow's competition will be over." Zhou Xiaoxiao said with a guilty face, "Don't blame me for being mean, blame us all for wanting to be champions..." Zhou Xiaoxiao tiptoed to the downstairs of the dormitory, and climbed in through the window. Everything went well, and the nerves that had been tensed all night relaxed a little.But she didn't care about taking a rest, so she went to the bathroom to take off her dirty clothes, took a quick shower, and then removed all possible traces of suspicion. She thought, even if Ning Meng wakes up and the result of the competition has become a fact, there is nothing she can do.If the other party continues to entangle, she will bite to death and refuse to admit it. Can anyone prove that she went out in the middle of the night?Anyway, the camera at the entrance of the TV station would not capture her. Who would have thought that a frail little girl like her could do such a thing? As for the TV station, even if they have doubts, they won't make a big deal out of it. After all, the reputation of the TV station comes first. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly, picked up the cup and took a sip of water. The cold water entered her body down her throat, and her stomach was cold. There was a gust of wind outside, and the originally closed window was knocked open by a gust of wind. Her heart trembled, and she hurried to close the window. Zhou Xiaoxiao tossed and turned in bed that night, Ning Meng's shadow was always flashing in her mind. She was worried that if the medicine was not enough, Ning Meng would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night.She was also afraid of overdosing on the medicine, what if she couldn't wake up for the rest of her life. The wind blew the window open again, and the moment she got up to close the window, she faintly smelled some breath from the wind in her nostrils.Immediately, a strong anxiety began to torment her heart, as if something ominous was about to happen. Immediately afterwards, bursts of noise came over, and many people rushed out of the door, shouting desperately.That scene was like encountering a sudden earthquake. Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly put on her clothes and rushed to the door. After a while, she saw a flame in the distance, and the originally dark sky was now dyed golden. It turned out that there was a fire somewhere in the TV station! At that moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao's mind buzzed, and suddenly realized something—isn't the location of the fire the abandoned warehouse of the TV station? But the dizzy Ning Meng... Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't dare to imagine any more, so she rushed to the scene of the accident. Sure enough, a group of people were putting out the fire in front of the warehouse with fire extinguishers.But the fire was too strong, the smoke filled the air, and several large tongues of flame emerged from the smoke. Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly felt chest tightness and could hardly breathe, as if the thinking function of the brain had been emptied all of a sudden... After a momentary blankness flashed through her mind, she didn't know where the courage came from. She was about to rush to save someone, but her arm was suddenly grabbed from behind. "The fire is so big, you want to die!" The person who stopped her shouted. Soon, the fire engine also arrived, and the firefighters quickly put out the fire.But at this time the wind was too strong, and the fire quickly surrounded the entire warehouse at an unimaginable speed.The flames were shining, and the increasingly fierce flames continued to devour the wooden structures, and the thick black smoke spread wantonly.From time to time, fireballs fell down and were blown around by the wind. Zhou Xiaoxiao was so upset that she almost collapsed on the ground. The raging fire did not know how long it took to be extinguished.The scene was already a mess, smoky, and the unburned wood "crackling" sounded. The firefighters began to clean up the ruins, and soon, someone pulled out a charred corpse in the fire, like charcoal, pitifully small, black and without human form... Zhou Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, the fact she least wanted to see finally happened.She had to admit that her opponent Ning Meng had turned into a charred corpse at this time, and it was impossible to return to the stage. "No, no, I didn't do it..." Zhou Xiaoxiao murmured in her heart, "I didn't kill people, I didn't kill people. I just wanted her to sleep, let her sleep." But in fact, she knew very well that she indirectly killed Ning Meng! Killing is no small matter! too terrifying!She needs to be calm and cautious, otherwise any disturbance will put herself in a disadvantageous situation. Early the next morning, someone reported that Ning Meng was not in the dormitory. The TV station panicked, and hurriedly sent people to look for it. They searched everywhere they could, and asked everyone they could ask, but Ning Meng was still nowhere to be seen. Zhou Xiaoxiao always rushed to the front, seeming more anxious than anyone else. However, this method of yelling "stop the thief" was not easy. Every nerve of her was tense all the time, and even a little stimulation made her panic. At this moment, someone connected Ning Meng with the unrecognizable corpse.As a result, the TV station immediately exploded and reported to the police. Later, the police asked the forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy on the unrecognizable corpse. The deceased was a woman in her twenties, and sleeping pill residues were found in her abdomen... This result was quickly exposed by the media, and then spread throughout the society, and all kinds of imaginations flooded.Some people on the Internet began to wonder whether the suicides were caused by the excessive pressure of the players. However, the TV station did not suspend the draft competition because of this unexpected episode, but stepped up its efforts to broadcast live.All of a sudden, many eyeballs were focused on this game, and the ratings soared extremely. Zhou Xiaoxiao tried her best to make herself forget everything and devote herself to the game wholeheartedly. It was a great race and she went through the whole course without a hitch and it was a perfect performance. As the director of the TV station announced the final result, the reporters had already prepared the spotlight, and the live music also created a tense atmosphere.At this highly anticipated moment, the director finished announcing the runner-up and the third runner-up, and finally announced: "The champion of this competition is—the No. 7 contestant Zhou Xiaoxiao!" The director presented her with a golden trophy and certificate, as well as a bonus of 100,000 yuan. Amid the jubilation, Zhou Xiaoxiao picked up the trophy and raised her right hand to salute the audience.At this moment, she inadvertently glanced at a corner far below the stage.She seemed to feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at her closely, that kind of eyes were so weird! Taking a closer look, it was a girl, petite, wearing a black hat, with her head bowed, and her long hair covered half of her face, making it difficult to see her face clearly... Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a strange feeling in her heart . Then, her sight was blocked by the host at the scene, and in a moment, the figure in the audience had disappeared.Zhou Xiaoxiao looked around.The audience was crowded, and the shouts and cheers were deafening.The girl seemed to be obliterated by the crowd, and seemed to disappear in an instant, like a ghost. Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but a terrifying thought popped up in her heart, was that Ning Meng who was burned to death?That black hat seemed to be worn by Ning Meng last night.In an instant, she seemed to see Ning Meng turning into a mass of black coke, emitting a puff of blue smoke... Hallucination, it must be hallucination.What an absurd idea.She comforted herself in the bottom of her heart. After the game, Zhou Xiaoxiao attended a media conference, had another meal, and then returned to the familiar campus accompanied by her boyfriend Zhang Yiming. Everything is like a dream.Zhou Xiaoxiao was intoxicated in the joy of her own success and couldn't extricate herself for a long time. Zhang Yiming put his arms around her shoulders tenderly, and she suddenly felt that she was the happiest person in the world. The two took a leisurely walk in the grove of the campus. For no reason, Zhou Xiaoxiao instinctively felt that someone was following her.Out of necessary precautions, she turned around to look, and for a moment, she seemed to see a black figure flashing into the corner as she turned around. Perhaps because she was too nervous, Zhang Yiming clearly noticed her trembling. "Xiaoxiao, what happened?" "Oh...no, nothing." “说啊，说出来我可以帮你的。” “谁也帮不了我。” 事实上，她看到的是一个戴帽子的黑影，虽然只是一瞬，但她觉得那是个女孩，而且很面熟。她不由得感到一阵的晕眩、甚至有一种迷乱的感觉，这种奇怪的感觉使得她心里感到诧异和恐慌。她觉得那个女孩正是死去的宁梦！ 老人们说，冤死的人都会阴魂不散的。莫非……莫非宁梦的鬼魂要来报仇了？ 周晓晓的额头沁出了一层密密的汗珠，她不敢再想象下去。 “啊——”周晓晓突然惊叫一声，睁开眼，从床上“诈尸”般挺坐起来。 “晓晓，你怎么了？”同宿舍的女孩问道。 周晓晓的心还在狂跳，半天从嗓子眼儿冒出一句话：“你相信有鬼吗？”她眼里迸射出的恐惧，让面前的同学不禁泛起阵阵凉意。 “大明星，你又做噩梦了吧？” 周晓晓拍拍额头，发现手上沾满汗珠。果然是噩梦。梦中的情景犹如一团可怕而模糊的鬼影，仍顽固地滞留在脑子里，一会儿是宁梦那张绝望而麻木的脸，一会儿又是宁梦满身是火地扑向她，追着她不停地跑…… “晓晓，你究竟怎么了？” “我没事儿啊，你为什么这么问？” 宿舍的姐妹觉得她怪怪的。 还未破晓，一阵急促的敲门声传过来：“咚咚咚……” 女生们嘟囔着嘴，边穿衣服边问：“谁呀？” “宿舍管理员，请开门。” 门开了，只见几个身材魁梧的男人正立在门口。 “请问，周晓晓同学在吗？” 周晓晓闻言探出头来：“找我什么事儿？”从这几个人冷峻的眼神来看，她心里立刻有了一种不好的感觉。 其中一个男人从口袋里拿出一个证件道：“我们是公安局的，有件事想请你协助调查一下。麻烦跟我们去一趟局里。” 周晓晓脑中“嗡”的一声响，血直往脑门涌。她意识到关于宁梦那件事已经暴露了。但她没想到，一切会来得这么快。 接着，在同学诧异的目光中，她被带走了，然后进了一辆警车。警车很快发动，风驰电掣般奔跑起来。 “你们要带我去哪儿？” “天津。” 她有些纳闷：“为什么去天津？” “到了那儿你就知道了。” 接下来，警察一直沉默不语，周晓晓再也没问过一句话。 近三个小时后，警车终于抵达目的地。随后，周晓晓又被带到了一间小黑屋。 灯被打开了，刺得她眼睛生疼生疼的。她在一张椅子上坐了下来，正对面，几个身穿警服的警察坐成一排，个个表情冷冰冰的。在他们头顶，写着“坦白从宽、抗拒从严”几个冰冷的大字。 周晓晓紧张得快透不过气来。其中一个警察直直地望着她道：“姓名？” “周晓晓。” "age?" "22 years old." "Profession?" “学生。” "..." 周晓晓额头冒出了冷汗，鼓足勇气问：“你们凭什么抓我？凭什么用这种审问犯人的方式来对待我？我到底犯了什么罪？” “周晓晓，你还记得一年前你都干了些什么吗？” “一年前？上学啊，怎么了？”周晓晓有些摸不着头脑。 警察冷冷地说：“那好，我来提醒你吧，一年前天津南开区一家奢侈品店被盗，许多贵重物品丢失，价值近80万……” “不，这不关我的事儿啊，我只是个学生啊。” “学生就不会犯罪了吗？我警告你，来到这种地方就不要心存侥幸，赶紧交代你的犯罪事实！” 周晓晓面带无辜地说：“真的不是我。你们有什么证据吗？” “当时奢侈品店的摄像头和防盗设施均被破坏，我们无法锁定犯罪嫌疑人的相貌。但就在罪犯离开的时候，恰逢路边有个目击证人，他看到其中一个罪犯是个女孩，长得有些像张韶涵。当然，这不可能是张韶涵本人。” “这世上相像的人多了，你们不会都抓起来吧？” 警察丝毫不理会她的抗议，继续说：“前几天我们无意间在电视上看到了你的选秀比赛，还获得了冠军。当时你举起奖杯的时候，有人注意到你的右手腕上戴着一块表！” 周晓晓心中猛然一震，有一种说不出的滋味在翻腾，她不由想到了被烧死的宁梦。莫非，她就是一个汪洋大盗？手表是赃物？ “我们查了一下，那块表是浪琴限量款女式金表，国内没几块，而你一个普普通通的大学生，怎么会消费得起这种表？我们找到奢侈品店经过确认，那块表正是他们丢失的一款。”警察说完，拿出一张失物的照片放在她面前。 惊愕与恐惧一起涌到周晓晓脸上，她张大嘴巴，半天说不出话来，本以为凭借自己的计策，将宁梦这个绊脚石成功踢走，没想到竟惹来了一身麻烦。现在，她不知该如何收场。如果拒不承认，那么这块表的问题该怎么解释？如果如实相告，那岂不是暴露了自己间接杀人的阴谋？如果说是间接杀人，那又有谁会相信她呢？well! 与杀人相比，盗窃倒算不得什么滔天大罪了。经过反复掂量与琢磨，周晓晓只得低下脑袋，忍着苦水承认：“不错，那次盗窃案是我做的……” 认罪以后的周晓晓并不轻松，几个月以来，她频频接受审讯，只因为大量赃物下落不明，其他犯罪同伙还逍遥法外。当然，周晓晓是无法回答这些问题的。 一些媒体对此案不断跟踪报道，警方也十分重视，但苦于证据太少，案子也就悬而未决，始终没有结案。周晓晓则被关进了看守所，等待下一步的调查。 这件事儿在社会上闹得沸沸扬扬，外国语大学不得不将周晓晓开除。 在看守所期间，周晓晓的父母来探望过她好几次，此外，她的男友张一鸣和女生宿舍的姐妹也来看过她。除了安慰，几乎每个人口吻都一样，就是规劝她趁早配合警方，争取戴罪立功。然而，周晓晓却什么也说不出口，苦不堪言，心力交瘁。 最终，这个案子被暂时搁浅下来。 对于周晓晓拒不交代的顽固态度，张一鸣很恼火，没多久就跟她分手了。 一转眼，半年时间过去了。 有一天傍晚，一个女警将看守所的门打开说：“周晓晓，出来，有人要见你。” 随后，周晓晓被带到了一间屋子。 里面有个卷发女孩正背对着她。 当女孩扭过脸时，周晓晓惊得下巴都快掉到地上，心脏狂跳，哆哆嗦嗦地问：“你……是人吗？” “不是人，难道是鬼吗？晓晓，你瘦了很多。” “小梦，你……你不是已经被烧死了吗？”周晓晓目瞪口呆。 “那个被烧死的根本就不是我！” "what?" “晓晓，你知道电视台隔壁是什么地方吗？” 周晓晓想了想说：“好像是家医院。” “被烧的只是医院的一具尸体罢了，那些安眠药只是后来灌进去的。” “这……这到底是怎么回事儿？”周晓晓一头雾水。 “实话告诉你吧，一年前我们盗窃了南开区一家奢侈品店，最后被警方通缉，后来我才知道我的脸暴露了。那些日子以来我东躲西藏，过着人不人鬼不鬼的日子……也就是半年前，我在报纸上无意中看到一家电视台要举办冠军偶像比赛，要知道我一直有一个明星梦，所以就壮大胆子报名了。” 宁梦停顿了一下，继续道：“在比赛过程中，我发现你是我最大的竞争对手，所以私下就特别留意你。呵呵，我知道你也特别关注我，好像还跟踪了我好几次。于是我就将计就计，表面上不动声色，暗中却派我的朋友调查你。他们发现你偷偷买了雨衣手套等工具，以及安眠药。那时我终于明白你要干什么了……” 周晓晓脸上露出极其凄惨的表情，说：“没错，我承认我想对你下手，但我没想过要害死你。” “知道这些以后，我临时产生了一个想法，那就是放弃这次比赛，来一个金蝉脱壳。所以，在决赛的前一晚，我一如既往地去那家酒吧喝酒，你果然出现了。为了迷惑你，同时达到栽赃嫁祸的目的，我故意将一块贵重的金表送给你。而你却不知道这是一件赃物！中途我假装去卫生间，目的就是想看看你的行动。我亲眼目睹你将安眠药倒进了我的杯子里……回到位置上以后，我故作醉态地趴在桌上，其实就是为了换掉那杯酒。我本来就是个小偷，这对我并不是什么难事儿。接着你很快叫醒了我，催我喝酒，我就喝了，然后假装睡着了。” “原来……原来……” 宁梦露出得意之色，缓缓地说：“接下来，你从下水道将我弄到电视台里的那个废仓库，等你走了以后，我睁开眼睛，迅速打开手机通知我的朋友，让他将医院停尸房的一具女尸通过下水道运过来。其实这些我们早就准备好了。等女尸运到以后，我们就在仓库放了一把火……当时恰好有大风，火势蔓延很快，很快就将仓库烧了个精光。” 听到这儿，周晓晓一下子全明白了，她被宁梦给耍了。那种蒙在鼓里的滋味比挨了一刀还难受。 “不可思议，太不可思议了！当时我真的以为你已经死了。” “我没那么容易死。我通过下水道爬出了电视台，回到宾馆换了身衣服，睡了个好觉，然后还去参加了你们的决赛。你的表现果然很优秀，如愿以偿地拿到了冠军。” “小梦，我当时见到你，还以为是见鬼了。” 宁梦冷笑了一声：“晓晓，拿到冠军的滋味一定很好吧？不过你却没能得意太久，因为很快我就打电话将你举报给了警方。” “你真是老谋深算！太能算计了。” “晓晓，我猜想你一定是误以为自己杀了人，在权衡盗窃与杀人两者的罪名上，你宁肯承认前者。事情证明，我的猜测完全正确。你中计了。毫不夸张地说，你走的每一步都在我们的掌控之中。” 周晓晓不由一阵阵心酸：“都怪我最初鬼迷心窍，不该利欲熏心，想害别人却反而害了自己。其实凭我的实力是很有可能获得冠军的……” “你绝对有这个能力。我也相信。” “我承认我输了，输得一塌糊涂。也算是罪有应得吧。”周晓晓懊悔地摇了摇头，又问，“你为什么今天来告诉我真相？你这不是自寻死路吗？” “你觉得我想这里吗？”宁梦苦笑道，“昨天，我们团伙中的一个成员在盗窃中被警方抓获了，他交代了一年前那次盗窃的全部过程，并供出了我，于是我就被抓进来了。法网恢恢，疏而不漏。我早就想到会有这么一天的。” “这个代价太惨痛了。是欲望和贪婪害了我们。” “可惜我是没后悔药可吃喽。你还有希望。”宁梦苦笑着说，“现在，就让我们重新做回原来的自己吧。”
