Chapter 27 Chapter 27 November 18

I compared all the notes, hoping to find the owner who wrote the notes, and it turned out that the current students are too smart.There are 22 students in my class, except that Wang Xiaolong was hospitalized, there should only be 21 students who wrote the note.After comparing the notes, I checked them one by one, and found that there were 22 notes handed in, that is to say, someone wrote an extra sheet.The person who wrote the note expected that I would use the method of elimination, and had already made two-handed preparations. The clues of the note could not be broken through, so I stood up from the desk and walked to the opposite dormitory.After the gunfire on a rainy night a month ago, Wu Lingchun's attitude towards me has changed, even though she made it clear that night that she didn't want to join the team.For a few days, Wu Lingchun would ask me privately if I had received newspapers in blood or picked up messy boxes.In fact, this month was really peaceful, and everyone gradually forgot what happened a month ago.It's just that we don't dare to buy steamed buns from Po Zhu Po anymore, because we are afraid that she will put tetramine in the stuffing of steamed stuffed buns.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Liu Qin lying on the bed, reading Agatha's detective novels with a serious expression.It is my treasure. From beginning to end, I have read it several times, and I can recite the original English sentences in a few paragraphs.Seeing me walk in, Liu Qin was startled, probably infected by the plot in the book.I smiled and told Liu Qin not to make a fuss, now that the sky is bright and bright, no one will let the dog chase her anymore. Liu Qin frowned, sat up and said to me, "Have you lent Zhao Xie this book?" Liu Qin turned the cover to me, and I glanced at it. It was "A Luncheon at Manor H" (translated by Humanities Society in 2009), which is my favorite novel.Regarding Liu Qin's sudden question, I wondered why, but she immediately turned the book around.In an instant, I followed Liu Mei's frown, because there was a page written in pencil: Tang Jiuyue, I really like this book, thank you for lending it to me.I wrote it in pencil so you can erase it.Out of envelopes and letterhead today, sorry - November 18th.

"This..." I concluded. "This passage is a bit strange." Liu Qin asked me with her head tilted. In fact, this is really strange, because I lent Zhao Xiyue that book in September, not November.Something happened to Zhao Xixi within two days after borrowing the book. She had no chance to return this book to me. I went to the Lin family to get it back by myself.Under normal circumstances, someone will write the date wrong, but at most they will only write the wrong day, and will not write the month wrong.I looked at that group of days, thought about it, and always felt that I had seen it somewhere.

"Wait!" I said as I wrote all the letters Zhao Xiyue had written to me.Most of the letters were dated correctly, only a few were wrong, and I never noticed them.There are ten wrong places, all of which are on November 18th, but I have only been in Machang Village for a year, and Zhao Xiyue and I hadn’t become acquainted on November 18th last year, and there was no correspondence at all during that time. "If she wrote correctly, did she leave a message on purpose? She knew that such a day would come?" Liu Qin asked me. I didn't answer, and I don't know how to answer, what does "November 18" mean?Last month, Zhao Yue disappeared suddenly. At that time, she told me that she had discovered a secret—Lin Shuxiang was a human trafficker.Before knowing the truth, I kept blaming Zhao Xie for not telling me earlier. After all, we had corresponded many times, and she had the time to tell me the secret.I only found out later that Lin Shuxiang had just been married for a few days, and Zhao Joy had just discovered that secret, so it was impossible to mention it in the previous letters.However, these wrongly dated letters were written before Lin Shuxiang came. Except for the last borrowed "A Lunch in Manor H", the rest of the letters were all written by Boss Mo before his marriage.

"Did she tell you to wait for her on November 18?" Liu Qin guessed. "How is this possible! Sister Xie Xie is not a fairy, she has no way of predicting, what if something happens to her and she can't come? There is no meeting place written on it." I shook my head and said, "Besides, she came to borrow money from me that night to run away Now, obviously she won't be looking for me on November 18th." "Is that a typo?" Liu Qin couldn't figure it out. I also couldn't figure it out, so I simply didn't think about it, and lay back on the bed with a blank mind.After half an hour, the students rushed to the school for class one after another. I haven't had enough rest yet, and I'm going to the fourth grade to watch everyone study by themselves.There are not many courses in Machang Village Primary School. Most of the afternoons are self-study classes, and the teacher only needs to sit on them.I was sitting on the podium, and when I saw Mo Feiying secretly looking at me, I deliberately pretended not to notice.

The self-study class is very boring. I almost pass the time with Agatha's novels, but I flipped through it and found another message in it, which was also dated November 18th.I haven't paid much attention to it before. If Liu Qin is not careful, I am afraid that this group of mysterious dates will be ignored by me forever.The problem is, I'm not a detective, nor a policeman. How can I check this set of numbers? November 18 is as ordinary as any other date, and it cannot be connected with all kinds of strange things that have happened before. I was disturbed by this set of dates, and my heart, which had been calm for a month, was disturbed again.This month, I don't want to live in such a panic anymore, and I don't bother to think about any mysteries.The only thing that can make me worry about it is Zhao Joy. It's been a month, and I don't dare to sleep too deeply every day, for fear of missing Zhao Joy's knock on the door, but I haven't heard any news from her for a month.

At this moment, someone came to the door of the classroom and called out to me: "Tang Jiuyue, come out." I turned my head to look, and it turned out that Ouyang Xin was looking for me. Usually he never called me during class time, unless there was something special.I couldn't help but sighed, feeling a strange premonition.As soon as he walked out, Ouyang Xin immediately said that Principal Zhang called me, and that two policemen had come to the school and wanted to talk to me.These words made me very upset, I don't understand why the police are looking for me after a month.Since Xiao Weihai promised not to call the police, he should be fine.

Ouyang Xin walked downstairs with me, and said to me: "The police are in the principal's office, don't be afraid. But... don't call the police without evidence, so as not to save them..." "I know! How can I be so stupid, I have been misunderstood several times, this time I will never dare, unless there is conclusive evidence." I nodded. It was inconvenient for Ouyang Xin to go in together, so he walked me to the door and walked away.When I went in, I saw Li Zhou also coming, and I immediately decided that this meeting must not be a good one.Sure enough, when Li Zhou and another policeman saw me, they handed over a big photo, which made my mother shudder.The photo shows a corpse wrapped in mud. Looking at the background of the photo, it should be the mortuary of the county hospital. I still remember the situation there.

Li Zhou saw that I was very scared, and asked with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this time I'm not here to trouble you." Principal Zhang also said with satisfaction: "I told them that you have the closest relationship with Zhao Xiyue and know her very well, so..." "Do you know that Zhao Yue was kidnapped?" another policeman asked me. I opened my eyes wide, wondering which Zhao Joy they were asking, the first or the second?Could it be that someone found out that the chemical inspection report in the morgue was turned over and my fingerprints were found?I couldn't hold back the scene anymore, and Li Zhou laughed even more wickedly, as if he was looking forward to this scene.Then, another policeman told me that they had found out who the dead man was under the orange tree.The deceased was the husband of Zhao Yue, who had been abducted here more than three years ago.The police suspect that her husband found here and was killed by Lin Huo.The purpose of the county police coming this time was to ask me if Zhao Xiyue had mentioned this matter, and if I knew where Zhao Xiyue had fled.

"What are you talking about?" I asked in amazement, "The dead man under the tree is... Zhao Yue's husband?" "I wouldn't tell you about this kind of thing, but in order for you to tell us about Zhao Xiyue and realize the seriousness of this matter, I had to tell you." Li Zhou put on airs. I fell silent. This was completely different from what Sister Joy (that is, Tian Yinghua) told me. Didn’t she say that the person who was killed was a pyramid scheme?She also said that when she escaped from the MLM organization and killed a person by accident, that person's brother came to seek revenge on her, so that scene happened.Facing the answers from my good sister and the police, I didn't know what to do. It seemed that neither of them had the need to lie to me, but the answers were completely opposite.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I asked tentatively: "If I find Sister Joy, what will happen to her? Will she not be sentenced to death?" "We can't guarantee this, and we don't know. But if you kill too many people, the death penalty is unavoidable." Another policeman replied. My parents are serving staff in the Guangxi prison system. They told me about the brutality of the death penalty and executed it themselves.In the past, the executioner asked the prisoner to kneel down, cover his head, and finish it with a single shot.Later, an internal short film was shown in the prison, which talked about the reform of the death penalty and the introduction of foreign injection laws.In fact, the injection method is not as pleasant as people imagined, and it is even terrible to be shot. I remember that at the beginning of the short film, it was marked in red that it was not allowed to be circulated, and then it explained that the lethal injection was divided into three injections: the first injection was Pentosanate, which put the death row prisoner to sleep; The diester, commonly known as Pavlon, relaxes the muscles and paralyzes the lungs; the third is potassium cyanide, which stops the heart.However, some prisoners are not paralyzed after the first two injections, so when the third injection is given, the death row inmates will be in extreme pain, shouting and struggling desperately. Just thinking about that short film makes me tremble all over, no matter what kind of death sentence, it will not feel good.Of course, now that the death penalty is less of a mystery, it doesn't matter whether that short film went viral or not.What matters is whether Zhao Xixi's child is still in her womb. If she is caught and given a heavy sentence, the child can save her life. Seeing my ugly face, Li Zhou said, "The death penalty won't be such an exaggeration! We didn't say that her husband was killed by her. Generally, people who strangle people are men. We have always suspected that it was Lin Huo. Now I want to ask you Yes, do you know where Zhao Xiyue went? If not in the village, where would she be?" "This..." I couldn't answer, and I wanted to know more than the police. "Didn't she tell you about her being controlled by Lin Huo? Principal Zhang said that Zhao Yue was often beaten by her husband before, and she had the opportunity to talk to you, so she didn't tell you to call the police?" Li Zhou asked again. In an instant, I realized that the two policemen had confused Tian Yinghua with the real Zhao Xiyue!No one thought that Zhao Xixi had two people, and no one went to the morgue to look through the chemical test report from three years ago!I hurriedly sorted out my emotions and forced myself to regain my composure.Since the police don't know that I have checked the chemical test report, there is nothing to be afraid of. In their eyes, I am a witness, not a prisoner. But now I know that Tian Yinghua lied to me, so what she told me before may have been adulterated, and I can no longer use her words to infer all mysteries.I can't tell the truth to the police right now, they are not too stupid, and one day they will find out about the two Zhao Xiyue.At present, I have to rely on the police to find Tian Yinghua, because I can't find her now, and I haven't heard from her since that night. Seeing that I couldn't say anything, the police stood up immediately and said that they would go to the village to ask questions again.With the permission of Principal Zhang, I immediately rushed out of the office and nervously returned to the upstairs classroom.Before, the school bell rang, and the students in the get out of class had already been running around to fight.I passed through several students, and just about to close Agatha's book, Wu Lingchun ran over excitedly and said to me: "Tang Jiuyue, I remembered! Didn't you say that Grandpa Wu was killed because... " "Hush!" I yelled, "The students are all here, please keep your voice down!" Wu Lingchun lowered his voice reluctantly: "Okay! I remembered, didn't you say that Grandpa Wu stole my photo and was killed? Although I don't remember what was in the stolen photo, I know where it is. You can get that photo back!"
