Chapter 6 5. The tragedy of the rich second generation

On the morning of Liu Xiaoxiao's sixth day in hospital, Ji Ruxuan and others received a call from her mother from the hospital, saying that Liu Xiaoxiao had been transferred to the general care ward of the burn department, and hoped that they could come to accompany her as soon as possible. They immediately went to the instructor, Mr. Wang, to ask for leave. After explaining the reason, the old woman who has always been known for being rigid and strict agreed to it very readily, and even paid 50 yuan for them to buy a bouquet of flowers for them. past. "Tell her that teachers and classmates miss her very much. I wish her a speedy recovery and return to school."

"Teacher, you are so kind, I promise, I will never skip class again!" Niu Fang vowed. The instructor smiled slightly: "It's okay, anyway, if you don't come, I will count you as absent from class." After leaving the school, a few people didn't even want to wait for the bus, so they took a taxi and went straight to the city - the hospital where Liu Xiaoxiao was working was in the city center.During the whole journey, Ji Ruxuan was imagining what Liu Xiaoxiao looked like now, was she covered in bandages, or had she returned to normal?Hopefully it's the latter.

The hospital is very large, and there are three buildings in the inpatient department alone. It took a lot of effort for several people to find Liu Xiaoxiao's ward, which was on the top floor of one of the buildings.Pushing open the door, the first thing I saw was the nurse standing in front of the hospital bed, bending over to pack things on the bedside table.On the hospital bed next to him lay a patient covered in bandages lying on his back, with only a pair of eyes exposed, a pair of familiar and beautiful eyes. No need to think too much, just seeing these eyes, several people already knew the identity of the patient, and Niu Fang shed tears on the spot.

"The patient's mood is not stable, please pay attention to your words." The nurse whispered as she passed by everyone.Then she walked out of the ward and closed the door gently. Several people were still standing at the entrance, looking at Liu Xiaoxiao who was lying on the bed in embarrassment, and no one knew how to speak for a while.Later, it was Liu Xiaoxiao who broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and said in a quiet tone that had never been done before: "Why are you all standing there, come here. Are you not used to seeing me like this?" "Of course not," Niu Fang deliberately laughed twice, and then took the lead and walked over. "After the bandages are removed in a few days, our beautiful Miss Liu will come back." - Facing this kind of situation, she is pretty good at talking.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoxiao sighed. "I can't come back." She said, looking up at the former sisters, her eyes dimmed for a moment. "They dare not tell me the truth, but I know that my face was burned, otherwise I wouldn't need to wear bandages. I will never go back to the way I was before..." Ji Ruxuan took a deep breath, walked forward, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, it's not conducive to recovery. Take good care of your body, just like what Niu Fanggang said, when the bandages are removed, you will still be the same as before. It’s just as beautiful. An ugly person like Niu Fang can only be jealous, hehe.”

Liu Xiaoxiao also laughed lightly, but then shook her head again. "Impossible, the face that has been burned to the point of muscular atrophy, even plastic surgery is useless, please don't comfort me anymore." After speaking, he slowly raised his arms and grabbed Ji Ruxuan and Niu Fang's hands respectively, but his eyes looked at each other. To Lin Ying and Qiu Suling who were standing behind them, these few people took it all. "The five of us have been fooling around for a year and a half, so we can be regarded as confidants? But in the morning, the police came to me and asked a lot of questions, which means that someone among you started the fire. To be honest, I don't know Do not believe……"

The four of them were speechless. Ji Ruxuan couldn't help but think of Jiang Xiaolou's reasoning about the suspicion of arson that night, and what he said was reasonable.But because Jiang Xiaolou has been busy opening the store these days, the two haven't seen each other very often, so she has never had the opportunity to ask Jiang Xiaolou who else is most suspected besides Zhang Jiaming.In fact, she was also afraid to know.After all, the few people present are good sisters who have been with each other for a long time. No matter who they are, she cannot accept this fact. "Let's leave these things to the police." Qiu Suling, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, using the same cold tone that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. "Xiaoxiao, you need to get better as soon as possible, or that kid Zhang Hui will elope with someone else."

"Really?" Perhaps because she didn't want to upset the sisters, Liu Xiaoxiao took up the topic and said jokingly. "Then help me keep an eye on it. If necessary, you can go to it. At least it's your own sister. The fat and water don't flow to outsiders' fields."——This remark is very in line with her previous personality.The sisters also relaxed and chatted with Liu Xiaoxiao for a while, but what Liu Xiaoxiao said earlier tied a knot in everyone's heart, a knot that would never be untied unless the truth surfaced. Half an hour passed quickly, and Ji Ruxuan and the others had no choice but to prepare to leave under the urging of the nurse.

"You have a good rest, we will see you tomorrow!" Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, looked at the sisters who were about to go out, and said something that they only understood after the tragedy happened in retrospect: "We are going to part soon, let me take a good look at you." Ji Ruxuan heard something wrong from these words, and just about to ask, the nurse pushed them out of the ward unceremoniously.The moment the door closed behind them, no one noticed how much attachment and sadness contained in Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes looking at their backs. A group of people went down to the bottom of the building, and when they were about to walk out of the stairwell, a slim young girl walked up to them. Seeing them, the girl stopped immediately.

"It's you guys. Excuse me, does Liu Xiaoxiao live in this building?" The four were all taken aback, and it was Niu Fang who recognized each other's identity first: "Hey, aren't you that waiter?" No wonder it looks so familiar!Ji Ruxuan suddenly realized, looking at the girl again, she was indeed the waiter who was in charge of their private room when they had dinner at the "Zuichunlou" hotel on the night of Liu Xiaoxiao's birthday.Because Niu Fang mentioned at the time that she dropped out of school to work part-time to see a doctor for her mother, which left a deep impression on Ji Ruxuan.

"How do you know Liu Xiaoxiao?" After a brief astonishment, Qiu Suling asked coldly. The girl shook her head, "I don't know her, I just found out her name yesterday. I know you are all students of South University of Technology, so the day after I got the card, I went to your school to ask. Said that she was hospitalized in an accident, and it happened to be off work today, so I came to see her...Is she okay?" "Wait a minute!" Qiu Suling interrupted her, "You just said card, what card? Please explain clearly." The girl lowered her head, bit her lips, and then told the whole story in a low voice. It turned out that in the middle of the birthday party that night, when Liu Xiaoxiao went to the front desk to swipe the card to check out, the boss happened to be alone at the counter, so he asked him about Liu Xiaoyin (the girl's name. Please pay attention, the important person in the next book) , when she learned that she dropped out of school to work because her mother was seriously ill, she did not hesitate to throw the bank card that had been settled to the boss, claiming that there was 50,000 yuan in the card, and asked him to help transfer it to Liu Xiaoyin for her Used by mother for treatment. Of course the boss didn't dare to collect such a large sum of money, but Liu Xiaoxiao repeatedly begged him to accept it, saying that she might not be willing to take it if it was given to her face to face.In the end, the boss was moved by her, and accepted the bank card on Liu Xiaoyin's behalf (of course, the password will be written down), and according to her instructions, he handed over the bank card to Liu Xiaoyin after the group of them left the hotel, and told her the things go through…… "So, no matter what, I have to meet her in person and thank her..." Liu Xiaoyin's eyes turned red as she spoke, so she turned her head away and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.But Ji Ruxuan and the others standing opposite her were already stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay. Fifty thousand yuan was just given to a stranger. Is it because she was moved by her filial piety to her mother and wanted to help her, or was it because of the impulse after getting drunk? Ji Ruxuan prefers to believe the former. "Xiaoxiao is really a good person..." She sighed softly. "Yes." Liu Xiaoyin covered her mouth and nodded, and said in a sobbing voice, "In order for me to accept the money with peace of mind, she even asked our boss to say that he sponsored me the money, but our boss She's also a good person, she didn't covet this false name, she told me the truth, Liu Xiaoxiao...she really wanted to help me." After hearing these words, Ji Ruxuan felt her nose sore, and peeked at the faces of her partners. Except Qiu Suling still had a cold face, Niu Fang and Lin Ying's eyes were already red and moist. Lin Ying stepped forward and patted Liu Xiaoyin on the shoulder: "Have you accepted the money? Then treat your mother well, and we wish her a speedy recovery. Also, if you are free, you can visit us at school, you You must know where our bedroom is, right?" Liu Xiaoyin nodded, raised her tear-stained face, and scanned the faces of the four of them back and forth, "Can I go upstairs to see her? I really want to talk to her." "Of course, but Xiaoxiao needs to rest now, so it's best not to take too long." "I see, thank you." Liu Xiaoyin tried her best to smile at everyone, and walked towards the stairwell. "Hey, wait a minute!" Qiu Suling suddenly reached out to stop her, and said in a nonchalant tone: "If... that fifty thousand yuan is not enough to treat the disease, come to the school to find me, my name is Qiu Suling. I mean... a good thing I can't let Xiaoxiao take it all by herself, hey, don't you think so?" As he spoke, he moved his eyes to the faces of his partners, but what he got was a few out-and-out blank stares. At noon when she came back from the hospital, Ji Ruxuan was invited by Jiang Xiaolou to have lunch.Jiang Xiaolou's long-prepared computer company finally opened yesterday. The store is located in the urban area, and it hired three senior computer majors to help. "There is a guy with a good mind. I am going to train him to be the store manager. I must be busy before he leaves the teacher, so I will say hello to you in advance." Ji Ruxuan said worriedly: "It's okay if you're busy, I'm afraid you won't do it seriously, don't look back... Hey, your company has just opened, so I won't say anything inauspicious, anyway, you just need to eat more." "This kind of small business doesn't need to be taken too seriously." Jiang Xiaolou smiled indifferently, "I will support the business to get it on the right track first, and then transfer the company to that kid so that I can get away and do other things. As for this By the way, just give me some money every month." "How can you do business like this!" "So I am Jiang Xiaolou, others are not." "Hmph..." Ji Ruxuan gave him a false look of disdain, and then chatted with him about how she visited Liu Xiaoxiao in the hospital in the morning, and how she gave someone 50,000 yuan for no reason. After hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou shook his head and laughed: "He is really rich. But to be honest, I have never figured out why she lives in the dormitory of the school and eats with you in cheap canteens. She must be very rich." ?” "Didn't I tell you, her father is a real estate developer, and his assets should be hundreds of millions, and there is only one daughter, Xiaoxiao, who has been spoiled terribly since she was a child." "Yes, real estate is a profitable industry." "Maybe it's because she's too rich. Xiaoxiao has always wanted to live the life of an ordinary person, that's why she got together with us. She thinks it's very happy." "It's like some rich people like to go to the countryside to experience life." Jiang Xiaolou curled his lips, "The rich people always have strange ideas. But we poor people have only one pursuit, and that is to make ourselves rich." Ji Ruxuan sighed, "To be honest, I'm really worried about her. You haven't seen her now, and you're in a bad mood. You always feel that you've been disfigured." Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said, "She wasn't very beautiful before, she was still wearing flowers. I don't think she is as beautiful as Liu Liang." Ji Ruxuan glared at him: "I'm telling you something serious!" "What's the matter? Do you want to help her? It's useless to tell you. This is a common problem shared by China's 'rich second generation'. She has poor psychological quality and can't bear a little blow. This can't be helped by others. Come out by yourself." "Then...what if she is really disfigured?" "How would I know." "Hey, to be honest," Ji Ruxuan lowered her voice, "Ever since I came back from the hospital this morning, I've always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen..." Jiang Xiaolou put his arms around her shoulders, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry about others all the time, think about your own affairs more." Ji Ruxuan asked puzzledly, "What's the matter with me?" "Oh, our company, you are the proprietress, you have to worry about it?" Jiang Xiaolou laughed.Ji Ruxuan didn't smile, she already guessed that Jiang Xiaolou probably had something to hide from her. "By the way, you said last time that there is another person suspected of arson. Who is it?" Jiang Xiaolou hesitated for a moment, and slowly said a name: "Niu Fang." "Ah?" Ji Ruxuan was stunned for a moment, and then called out, "It can't be her, usually she and Xiaoxiao are the best, why would she do this?" "I don't know why you did this, but you told me last time that she saw another Liu Xiaoxiao in the toilet. Is there such a thing?" Ji Ruxuan frowned: "Could it be a hallucination? Or..." "No or, there are no ghosts in this world. If you don't even believe this, you will never see the truth of the matter clearly." Jiang Xiaolou said solemnly. "As for hallucinations, of course it is also possible, but it is more likely that she is lying." "Lies..." Ji Ruxuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Even if that's the case, it can't be said that she started the fire. Is there any connection between these two things?" "You are a pig's brain. The two incidents happened one after another, and the central character is Liu Xiaoxiao. It's strange that there is no connection." Ji Ruxuan stopped talking.After a while, when she calmed down, she smiled and said to Jiang Xiaolou: "Although I don't believe your analysis, I think you are very suitable to be a policeman. It was a waste of talent for you not to be admitted to the police academy." "My dad and one policeman are enough for our family. Besides, if I go to the police academy, how can I have a chance to meet you?" The two looked at each other and smiled. Life is undoubtedly precious, but for some people, some things are more important than life, such as money, love, beauty, fame and so on.When suddenly one day the things he (she) pursues leave him (her), it may be more painful than death for him (her).And some people actually chose to die. On the night when her roommates went to visit her, Liu Xiaoxiao secretly climbed onto the window sill of the ward while the nurse accompanying her was asleep.Out of professional sensitivity, the nurse was awakened by the slight movement she made when she climbed the window, but it didn't help—Liu Xiaoxiao turned her head and smiled at her, then jumped down.So, died. A week ago, she had just turned twenty.A week later, her own life and other people's memories of her stayed forever at the flowery age of twenty.Whether there is reincarnation, no one knows, in short, her life is over like this, and the moment she jumped, everything was wiped out. It was already the next morning when the bad news reached the school. The girls in dormitory 714 didn't go to class together, and even Zhang Jiaming didn't go out. They stayed in the dormitory and kept comforting Lin Ying and Niu Fang who cried the most.Ji Ruxuan didn't cry out loud, she sat in front of the window with a dull expression, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the various birds that occasionally flew by from the sky, flock after flock.I just didn't see a long-tailed magpie that I often saw in the past. Maybe they know that there is no joy in this place today, only sadness, so they don't come here wisely? Qiu Suling leaned on her upper bunk all the time, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, her eyes closed, and there was no expression on her face. ——She never seemed to cry or laugh, she kept all her emotions in her heart, and there was hardly any clue from her appearance.In fact, the more such a person is, the richer his inner emotions are, but he is unwilling to express it for some reason, and of course it may be due to his personality. After spending the morning in a daze, when it was lunch time, Zhang Jiaming ran to the cafeteria without saying a word, and ordered meals for the four of them, but no one accepted her kindness. "Thank you, I'm very tired and I don't want to eat now." After Qiu Suling finished speaking, she closed her eyes and remained motionless like an old monk sitting still. Zhang Jiaming came to Ji Ruxuan with a lunch box in his hands. "Aren't you going to eat anymore?" "If I can eat it, I will eat it." Ji Ruxuan smiled at her with great difficulty, stood up, found out her mobile phone, and dialed Jiang Xiaolou's number. "Where is it? I'll go find you now." "I'm in the shop, I'm busy, I'll call you when I get back tonight, that's all." After speaking, she hung up before Ji Ruxuan could speak. "Get out!" Ji Ruxuan yelled, and instantly felt the urge to drop the phone, but then thought that it was something only a fool would do, so she took a sad breath, sat down and continued to look at the sky. "Will you go for a walk?" Ji Ruxuan wanted to say that she was not in the mood, but when she raised her head and saw Zhang Jiaming's expectant eyes, she hesitated for a moment, but stood up anyway. "Who of you wants to go out for a walk, let's go together." "I'll go with you." Qiu Suling said as she got down from the upper bunk, and glanced at Lin Ying and Niu Fang who were still sobbing softly, "It's almost enough, don't cry anymore, just keep it in your heart." The three of them went downstairs, and Zhang Jiaming suggested to take a walk in the back playground, which was the cleanest place in the whole school.But Qiu Suling wanted to go to the supermarket first, so the two had to slow down and wait for her. After a while, Qiu Suling ran after her with a bulging convenience bag in his hand. "What?" Zhang Jiaming asked. "Beer." Qiu Suling said expressionlessly. I don't know when, the weather began to turn cloudy, and the sky was gray like a shroud soaked in death.There was not a single decent cloud in the sky, and the sun disappeared. The temperature dropped suddenly, and the cold wind blew across the face. "I heard that the cold current reached Xuyou today, right?" Qiu Suling put the can of Cordon Bleu to his mouth, took a sip absently, and then asked absently. "I guess so." Zhang Jiaming looked at her, and then at Ji Ruxuan who was sitting silently beside her. "Xiaoxiao has already left. People who die cannot be resurrected. You should look away." "It's because people who die can't be brought back to life, those who are alive will be sad." Qiu Suling shook his head lightly, and said with a wry smile, "A friend who has been with you for more than a year, if he says he's not there, he won't be there, how can he not be sad." "I can understand this. When my mother passed away, I also experienced the same pain as you are now, I'm afraid it will be a little more." Zhang Jiaming looked into Ji Ruxuan's eyes and said, "But time will dilute everything. There is no need to doubt the fact. Although some people and some things will remain in our hearts for a lifetime, we will never forget them." Ji Ruxuan carefully chewed the next few words after her, when suddenly, someone's cell phone rang, and the ringtone was "Spinning Wood" by Faye Wong, a song that Ji Ruxuan used to like very much, but she didn't use this song as the ringtone. "Sorry, I have a phone call." Zhang Jiaming smiled apologetically, took out her cell phone and walked to the side to answer the call. After a while, she came over and said that she had to go out to do something, so she had to excuse me. . Qiu Suling kept looking at Zhang Jiaming's leaving back until she could no longer see her, then turned around and said, "Xuanxuan, I think things are weird." Ji Ruxuan turned to look at her in puzzlement. "I thought about it carefully just now. Since I arrived at the new campus, some strange things often happened in our dormitory, especially around Xiaoxiao. First, the doll appeared one after another, and then there was crying in the bathroom in the middle of the night, and Niu Fang was there. What you see inside... don't you think there is something wrong?" "You mean—" "Start with that cursed doll." Ji Ruxuan frowned. "The murderer is the cursed doll! In other words, it is the mysterious power given to that doll." Qiu Suling said calmly, "Otherwise, the matter cannot be explained. There was no outsider in our dormitory the night the fire broke out. My own people did it, I wouldn’t believe it even if I was killed.” Ji Ruxuan was not in the mood to discuss with her whether there are curses in the world, so she skipped the topic and said, "Anyway, there is a manipulator behind the doll, and that person created a series of conspiracies, and he (she) is murderer!" "I've been thinking about it for a day..." Qiu Suling sighed, then said in a low voice, "I suspect that this person may be her." "he she)?" "Think about it, who came to our dormitory for no reason, who took you to the bell tower, and found that cursed doll." Ji Ruxuan stared into her eyes. "However, this kind of thing needs evidence, and I can't think of any reason for her to hurt Xiaoxiao." "I'm just guessing, if it's really her, I don't care what the evidence is, I'll kill her!" Ji Ruxuan gritted her teeth and squeezed the empty beer can into a ball, throwing it forward.After that, she burst into tears. This person who was extremely strong and indifferent in front of others finally cried when he was only accompanied by his friends. The two stayed in the back playground until dark. During this period, Qiu Suling, who let go of his guard, cried like a child in Ji Ruxuan's arms, repeating a sentence: "I can't take it anymore... ..." Ji Ruxuan didn't use any words to comfort her, but just patted her on the shoulder, making her cry unrestrainedly.Before going back, Qiu Suling, who had recovered to normal, said in a cold tone, "Keep what happened just now a secret for me." Ji Ruxuan nodded, turned around, and was about to take a step when Qiu Suling grabbed her arm suddenly. "Look over there!" Qiu Suling exclaimed.Ji Ruxuan hurriedly looked along her fingers, and saw a glistening flame coming from the only window on the wall in front of the bell tower hundreds of meters away, and she could see it clearly from their position.Ji Ruxuan suddenly remembered that about a week ago, they also saw such a scene upstairs in the dormitory, because too many strange things happened afterwards, and this trivial matter was ignored.Who would have thought that we would meet it again in this place today. What is that flickering flame? Just as the two of them were in a daze, the fire went out again. During dinner time, Jiang Xiaolou called Ji Ruxuan and invited her out for dinner. "I already know about Liu Xiaoxiao. You feel very uncomfortable, don't you, but you still have to eat. Come out. I'll wait for you at the 'Drunkard Pavilion'. The dishes are all ready." "I'm so tired, I really don't want to go." "Still angry about what happened at noon?" "I'm not in the mood to be angry, I really don't want to go." Ji Ruxuan said weakly, and was about to hang up the phone, when a woman's voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the phone: "Xuanxuan, come here, I have something to tell you, I promise you want to go." listen." "You are... Miss Xiaobing?" Ji Ruxuan said in a daze. "It's me, come quickly." Sure enough, it was Jiang Binger——Jiang Xiaolou's cousin. After graduating from the Polytechnic University a few years ago, she was recruited to do clerical work because of an acquaintance who was a leader in the local public security department until now. Because of Jiang Xiaolou's relationship, Ji Ruxuan and his cousin often meet, and the relationship has always been good. A few days ago, when she was invited by the local criminal police team for questioning due to the fire incident, Ji Ruxuan saw her once in the police station. , but at that time each had something to do, so they didn't talk much.Therefore, Ji Ruxuan really couldn't imagine, what could she have to tell herself? Although she is not in the mood to speculate on such shadowless things at the moment, and she doesn't want to eat anything, she still bites the bullet in order to hinder her cousin's face-this is the reason on the surface, but in fact, her subconscious I really want to see Jiang Xiaolou. Women are like this. Whenever I feel uncomfortable, I always hope to be able to snuggle up with the person I like the most. Even if I don’t do anything or say anything, it is also a kind of spiritual comfort. . Because it was not working hours, Jiang Binger did not wear a police uniform, but was dressed in sports clothes, her dyed brown hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and she didn't put a little makeup on her face, but she couldn't hide her beautiful face. Gives a free and easy, capable feeling. Jiang Xiaolou was wearing blue overalls and was sitting on the other side of the round table in the private room. When Ji Ruxuan entered, the two were drinking tea with small teacups. "Sit down." Jiang Xiaolou said softly, and pulled away a chair next to her, and Ji Ruxuan sat down without saying a word. "Still feeling uncomfortable?" Jiang Xiaolou bent down and asked. Ji Ruxuan nodded. "Just take it easy." Jiang Xiaolou put his arms around her shoulders, "Everyone has such a day, sooner or later, so we still have to be cautious." Under the consolation of her lover, Ji Ruxuan finally couldn't control her emotions, sobbing on his chest. "But... Xiaoxiao is only twenty years old..." "Yes." Jiang Xiaolou said lightly, "but this is the path she chose, and no one can be blamed. As a friend, you can be sad, and then keep her in your heart forever." After all, there were other people present, and Ji Ruxuan was too embarrassed to cry all the time, leaving others alone, so after crying for a while, she sat up and rubbed her eyes, and said to Jiang Binger who was opposite, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaobing, I feel too uncomfortable gone." "It's okay," Jiang Binger looked at her with a smile. "I have also experienced the sudden death of loved ones around me. You are much stronger than me." Jiang Xiaolou went out to ask the waiter to serve food. When he came back, he saw that his girlfriend was still in a trance, so he said: "Don't be sad for now, cheer up, and let Bingbing tell the story. Although Liu Xiaoxiao is not here, but It's not over yet." Upon hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's name, Ji Ruxuan excitedly turned her head to look at Jiang Binger. "No big or small guy, I'm your sister!" Jiang Binger glared at her cousin before saying to Ji Ruxuan, "Maybe you haven't heard of it yet? The investigation results of the fire scene, as well as the test results of bedding and clothing came out." Now, it is basically determined that it was arson..." "After testing, it was found that the pajamas and quilt worn by the victim...Liu Xiaoxiao that night were coated with red phosphorus. Red phosphorus, you know? The ignition point is very low, and it almost catches fire. Now you know why the fire came so suddenly right?" Ji Ruxuan looked at her in surprise, and after a long time, said tremblingly: "You mean...someone deliberately tried to harm her?" "Of course it is." Jiang Binger nodded, "Our criminal police team is in charge of this case, and a special case team has been established, so the people in your dormitory will be frequently disturbed recently." "So...we are all suspects?" "Of course, you are the victim's roommate after all. So you must not reveal what I just told you, or I will make a mistake. " "Well, thank you Miss Xiaobing." "Where." Jiang Binger smiled reassuringly, "After all, you are my unmarried sister-in-law, and I believe this case has nothing to do with you." Ji Ruxuan murmured: "I believe it has nothing to do with them." "That's not clear. In short, for us as the police, everyone is suspected of committing the crime before the murderer is actually caught." This sentence touched Ji Ruxuan a lot. She stared blankly at the opposite wall, repeating what Jiang Binger just said: "Everyone is suspected of committing a crime..." Late at night, after lights out. Lin Ying and Niu Fang, who had been crying for almost a whole day, finally calmed down now. They lay quietly on their respective beds. Although they didn't say a word, the sound of their noses twitching from time to time proved that they were not asleep. Qiu Suling fell asleep. She drank a few cans of beer in the back playground in the evening, and then lay down when she returned to the dormitory, and never woke up.Her heavy snoring echoed in the narrow space of the bedroom. It was a blessing to be able to fall asleep under the present circumstances.Ji Ruxuan thought from the bottom of her heart, even if she had nightmares, she wouldn't be afraid, at least it would be better than suffering in this cruel reality, right?However, Ji Ruxuan couldn't fall asleep no matter what.The past scenes with Liu Xiaoxiao were replayed over and over again in my mind, how happy the memories were, and how painful the reality at this moment was. Since going to bed, Ji Ruxuan's tears have not stopped.She was lying on her side, tears streaming from her right eye, down the bridge of her nose, into her left eye, onto her hair, and onto the bedding underneath.The bedding was already wet in a big way.She never cried out. I don't know how long it has passed like this. She just fell asleep in a daze when she was awakened by a strange sound of footsteps. "Go". Ji Ruxuan was stunned for a moment, and opened her eyes wide to see clearly. It turned out to be a lantern. A layer of translucent tulle was pasted into a ball shape, and a candle was sitting in the middle. As the lantern moved, the red and green flames flickered Jumping and jumping, it seems that it will go out at any time. As for the person holding the lantern behind, Ji Ruxuan looked up and saw that it was Liu Xiaoxiao.She was dressed the same as before, and under the flickering candlelight, her face was actually very pale—the kind of colorless white.Both eyes stared at Ji Ruxuan without blinking, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of her mouth. "Xiaoxiao..." Ji Ruxuan groaned secretly, sitting up from the bed.At this time, Liu Xiaoxiao, holding a lantern, had already come to her.Stopping, Youyou said: "Let me say goodbye to you..." Ji Ruxuan stared at her like a fool, not knowing what to say. "Doll, that doll." What?Ji Ruxuan was stunned. Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly burst into tears, "I don't want you to go with me." These words made Ji Ruxuan feel a bone-chilling chill. "You mean... we all will..." She asked tremblingly, but couldn't continue in the middle of the sentence. "That doll, if you can decipher the truth, there is still a chance." After speaking, Liu Xiaoxiao gave her a meaningful look, turned around slowly, and walked towards the window. Ji Ruxuan wanted to stop her from asking, but when she thought that she was no longer human, she dared not move.I could only watch her walk outside the window—the writing desk and the wall did not block her body, she walked out as if there was nothing, and continued to walk forward, her figure gradually disappeared in the thick darkness. "Xiaoxiao!" - this call came not from Ji Ruxuan's mouth, but from Niu Fang.Ji Ruxuan was startled awake and realized that it was just a dream.Not caring about sorting out his thoughts, he followed the scream just now, sat up and looked towards the lower bunk where Niu Fang was sleeping. Niu Fang also sat up, covering her face and crying, and everyone woke up one after another. "Fangfang, what's the matter?" Lin Ying stretched out her head from the upper bunk and asked tentatively in a low voice. Niu Fang sobbed a few more times, before she sniffled and said with a choked voice, "I just... dreamed of Xiaoxiao." Ji Ruxuan's heart tightened. "That doll, if the truth can be deciphered, there is still a chance of survival." In the dream, Liu Xiaoxiao's last words echoed in her ears, and Ji Ruxuan took a deep breath, thinking, is the matter of cursing the doll not over yet? If there is anything in the world that spreads faster than a plague, it is gossip. ——In a few days, the news of Liu Xiaoxiao’s death spread in the school, and there were many different versions of the cause of her death, and even nonsense such as suicide and ghost possession were raised And, together the fun. As the roommates of the deceased, Ji Ruxuan and others have become the focus of the truth in the eyes of the students. No matter in the class or in the dormitory, acquaintances often come to them to inquire about the cause of Liu Xiaoxiao's death, and what happened. The real story of the fire made them uncomfortable. On the other hand, policemen in police uniforms or plain clothes often came to the school to investigate the situation. very cooperative.However, a week later, there is still no progress in the case - at least Ji Ruxuan and others can't see any progress. And Liu Xiaoxiao's departure has a great impact on the lives of Ji Ruxuan and others, especially every time they see the lower bunk that Liu Xiaoxiao slept in before his death-now the bed is covered with dust, and they feel sad Come on, feel sad.For a long time, the 714 dormitory was filled with a sad atmosphere.Even, Ji Ruxuan often dreamed about Liu Xiaoxiao, about some interesting things they had experienced together when they were in the old campus, and even about things that were not interesting. This kind of dream can happen two or three times in a week. In the other few days, Ji Ruxuan basically dreams of that strange man who can never see his face, who takes her to places that are both completely strange and familiar, which makes her feel uneasy. What Ji Ruxuan is afraid of is that these dreams, without exception, have a strong sense of reality, as if they have happened in real life. Even because of the experiences in these dreams, Ji Ruxuan vaguely "imagined" some related fragments, but most of them are Messy and disorganized, just like recalling the content of a book I read in my childhood, the more I think about it, the less I have any clue. Just when Ji Ruxuan felt restless about this, and mourned painfully for her friend's departure, in the gap between these two events, an unexpected event happened, grabbing what little attention she had left. —Another cursed doll appeared. The target this time is Niu Fang. It was less than a week since Liu Xiaoxiao committed suicide, and things happened so fast.
