Chapter 54 chapter eight

The last day of 2011. "I'm Ghost Detective." "Okay, now I only have one request, please stop watching Conan!" "Officer Ye Xiao, I'm not kidding you." "It's getting dark, you should go home early, or your mother will call me again." He was looking at the mirror in the bathroom, shaving with an electric shaver, "Student Si Wang." In the mirror, I can also see another face, the face not long after her sixteenth birthday, already at the age of blooming, with a rebellious and calm light in her brows, she will be even more handsome than Ye Xiao in a few years little bit.

"I am Shen Ming." These four short words are spoken in an adult tone, the tone is still young, but it hides the resentment of sixteen years of death. Ye Xiao turned off the razor, and the whole world fell silent. Half of his beard was unshaven, and he looked at his face through the mirror. After a pause of only a few seconds, the noise sounded again. He speeded up his shaving, but looked at it out of the corner of his eye. "Thank you for reporting the information to the police, and finally know a shocking secret!" Ye Xiao lived on the 28th floor of a high-rise building, facing the Future Dream Building, which was brightly lit all night.There was a military sniper rifle with a sight by the window. Si Wang picked it up and touched it curiously, but he grabbed it back: "Be careful! This is a real thing!"

"Who do you want to assassinate?" A few of the windows on the top floor of the future dream building opposite are lit up, which is really an excellent sniper position. He put the rifle in the cupboard and said sternly, "Don't tell anyone, or—" "I will keep it a secret." Si Wang boldly bargained with the police, "The premise is that you believe everything I say!" Ye Xiao is a single man who lives in a high-rise apartment with one bedroom and one living room. He is tidier than Police Officer Huang Hai, but he also has a lot of instant noodles and junk food.There is no smell of smoke in the house, and no alcohol or coffee is seen. He is an ascetic who does not drink or smoke.

"In 1995, after Shen Ming's death, his ghost has not dissipated. It has wandered around the city for 16 years, hiding in a boy named Si Wang." "The sudden attack came to my house just to tell me this? Since this secret has been kept for so many years, why did you tell me for no reason?" "I'm afraid I won't live to be eighteen." "Someone is threatening you?" Ye Xiao looked at the peephole on the door, "I will protect you." "No, I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming that I'm dead—either my throat was cut with a knife, or I was hit by a truck while crossing the road, or I slipped and fell from the roof..."

"Are you afraid that once you die, this secret will be buried forever, and you will have no chance to avenge yourself?" "Ye Xiao, you are so smart." "Small age, stop flattering! If you are really the ghost of Shen Ming who died in 1995, why don't you just go and kill the murderer?" Si Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know who he is? The murderer stabbed me to death from behind, and I didn't see his face." "I'll catch him." "Is there any clue? The middle-aged man who opened the video store? Only I can help you solve the case! Because, I am Shen Ming, I am the second victim in 1995, and I can tell a lot

There are many secrets that others do not know.For sixteen years, from the first day I was born as Si Wang, I vowed to find the murderer. I have been investigating this case with Police Officer Huang Hai for these years. I am more qualified to investigate this case than you! " "Well, then you are also a murderer at the same time, you killed the dean Yan Yan, didn't you?" This rhetorical question made Si Wang tremble slightly, his expression became terrified, as if he had returned to the scene of the murder: "Yes." "Sometimes, I also wonder if there is another person hidden in your heart, because in your eyes, I will see the shadow of an adult who has experienced unimaginable pain-only I can understand you , because we are the same kind of people.”

"I guess you've suffered the loss of someone dear to you." "It broke our hearts." "Ye Xiao, but you haven't tasted the pain of being killed yourself. It has nothing to do with physical pain, but to become another person after death, bid farewell to everyone around you, and grow up again from a baby. The past twenty years have all been in vain!" "Although, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, but you can tell me everything you know—whether it's real or your imagination. Tell me, Ghost Detective." "In the past sixteen years, you have had the biggest question. On June 19, 1995, why did you go to the Witch's Quarter to die?"

"Yes, figuring out the reason may be a big step closer to solving the case." "But it's a secret." Hearing such an answer, Ye Xiao shook his head in disappointment, and opened the door: "You can go home now." "Wait a minute, there is another question about Zhang Mingsong." "Actually, I have already talked to Zhang Mingsong. He said that Huang Hai had talked to him countless times, and several times he was taken to the Public Security Bureau. The leader of the Education Bureau bailed him out. Is this person really Killer? I can't judge either."

"Isn't it enough to go to his house and search it?" "Without any actual evidence, it's not easy to apply for a search warrant? Especially for such a famous person." The logic in Ye Xiao's mind was very clear, and he immediately pulled back his train of thought. Delusion, classmate Si Wang." "If you don't believe me, you will regret it." Ye Xiao thought of Shen Yuanchao, so let's give him one last chance: "Tell me about Shen Ming's biological father, Shen Yuanchao, if you still have memories." "I am Shen Yuanchao's illegitimate son. This matter is his biggest secret. When I was still alive, he was always worried that this secret would be discovered. But he is not a cold-blooded person. Give me living expenses. When I was still living in the basement, he often sent me some books, from comic books to world famous books. The most impressive thing is the hardcover hardcover book he collected when he was young. The cover is a colorful engraving of Paul Korchagin, wearing a Red Army pointed hat on a horse, looking out into the distance with firm eyes. I have read this book at least ten times, and the cover is almost worn out. Ostrovsky read it fluently, and still remembers attacking Peter The Chinese soldiers who appeared in Liu La’s Red Army team, I wrote the famous quote on the title page in red ink-the most precious thing for a person is life, and everyone has only one life. A person’s life should be spent like this: Looking back on the past, he I will not regret for wasting my life, and I will not be ashamed for doing nothing..."

"I've seen this book. It was placed on Shen Yuanchao's home at his bookshelf—he said he took it back from the dormitory of Nanming High School after Shen Ming's death." "That's great! He actually kept it for me!" Ye Xiao carefully observed the young man's face, it was completely the expression of a middle-aged man, if this is still fake, then he is really a movie king. Suddenly, he took out the paper and pen and said, "Can you write it again?" Si Wang nodded in fear, grabbed the pen and paper, and wrote in Shen Ming's handwriting——

The most precious thing for a person is life, and everyone has only one life.A person's life should be spent like this: Looking back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed for doing nothing.On his deathbed, he was able to say: "My whole life and all my energies have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - to fight for the liberation of all mankind." This is the only mark he can prove himself. Ye Xiao watched him finish writing this passage, and sighed softly: "Paul Korchagin... I also recited this passage, when I was sixteen years old." "Why did you become a policeman?" "destiny." "Just like when I die and become Si Wang?" "Probably so." "You admit that I am the ghost of Shen Ming?" Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "There are no ghosts in this world, but I can help you, and you must help me too."
