Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

When I was browsing the files in the memory card, I chose the "Detailed Information" list, and the "Name", "Size", "Type", "Modification Date", and "Photo Shooting Date" were displayed in the folder. And "Size" (Note: XP system).It wasn't until I looked at the photos again this time that I realized that the "modified date" and "photo shooting date" of all the photos and videos in the memory card were inconsistent! I put my head close to the computer screen and looked at it carefully. The modification date was all "October 30, 2008", but the photo was taken on "March 16, 2005", and the video was "April 2005 3rd".Simply put, the computer shows when the photos and videos were taken, and the modification date means that someone imported these photos and videos into the memory card not long ago.

I remember that we came to the county last week on November 1, 2008, which was Saturday, and October 30 was Thursday.After the memory card was discovered, it has been on me, how can it show that it was imported on Thursday?I was confused, thought and thought, and then recalled a strange thing that happened on Friday night.That night I went to take a shower in the bathroom, and my clothes were hanging on the wall. Someone reached in and touched my clothes. Could it be that the memory card was switched at that time? Once again, I began to suspect that someone was the insider.Since I discovered the memory card, only Ouyang Xin, Liu Qin, and Wu Lingchun should know about it.Although Wu Lingchun has a big mouth, I told her many times not to say it, and no one would believe it if she said it. If she really wanted to say something, she had to say it along with other things.My eyes rolled, and I recalled that when the memory card was discovered that day, only Liu Qin and I knew about it. It has spread, and therefore the suspect of the inner ghost has spread...

Is Liu Qin an inner ghost?Did she say she leaked her words to clear up the relationship?And she is the only one among our four teachers who has known Principal Zhang for a long time... "Hey! Where did I go? Liu Qin is so timid, how could she be the ghost! I really watched "Infernal Affairs" too much." I smiled wryly, and instead of thinking about the ghost, I turned my attention back to the computer screen.Computers can’t lie. Since it shows different modification and photo taking time, the memory card is not enough to be trusted.Fortunately, I calmed down now, and ran to the police without getting the memory card, otherwise Li Zhou thought I was playing the police again.

"So, Jiang Lin may not only have captured these, but there may be more important things, but they are not in this memory card... What else did she capture?" I rested my chin in thought, and the time passed bit by bit. , It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and I still have no clue. At this time, Bao Zhupo bought flour and ingredients, called me, and told me to wait for her on the street, and then take her motorcycle back to Machang Village.I couldn't delay any longer, paid the bill immediately, and left the Internet cafe.But as soon as I stepped out the door, I thought something was wrong.Machang Village is very remote, although there is electricity, but no one has a computer, otherwise we would not have to wait until the weekend to ride a bicycle to the Internet cafe in the county town last week.Since the modification date of the file on the memory card was last Thursday, where can the person who imported the file find a computer?Did someone come to the county Internet cafe on Thursday?

I thought of this, watching the traffic on the street, and breathed a sigh of relief.Because last Thursday, all four of us young teachers were in school, and none of us left Machang Village, which means that no one is an insider.But I am still puzzled, whoever took the first step and replaced the memory card, how can that person always be the first to strike? When Bao Zhupo came to see me on a motorcycle, she saw that I was preoccupied, so she asked me what was wrong.Before Jiang Lin disappeared, she made an appointment with Po Zhu, and went to the county town to call the police the next day.Although Bao Zhupo had harassed Ouyang Xin, she should be the only one in Machang Village who believed that Jiang Lin hadn't resigned without permission, but had really disappeared.So, after weighing it over and over again, I told Bao Zhupo a small part of the matter and asked her opinion.

Bao Zhupo was riding a motorcycle on the mountain road, she was too lazy to wear a helmet, and there was no traffic police on the mountain road.I sat on the back of the motorcycle, hugged Po Zhu, and leaned my mouth against her ear, telling her that I suspected that Jiang Lin had been killed more than three years ago, and that the recent incidents were all related to Jiang Lin.Bao Zhupo's ears were full of wind, and I told her many times before she listened. "Tang Jiuyue! I thought of something! It may be helpful to you!" Bao Zhupo shouted violently in front of the car. "What's the matter?" I also answered loudly, and the cool autumn wind poured into my stomach at the same time.

"After Jiang Lin disappeared for a month, her parents took her things away, but they threw some things in the garbage dump at the head of the village and didn't take them back. At that time, my hands were itchy and I rummaged through the garbage dump. Turn around, take some things and go back. I'll find them for you when I get home, can you see if it's useful?" Bao Zhu Po said loudly. "Jiang Lin's things?" I said in a daze, "Bao Zhupo, why didn't you tell me earlier!" "Her parents left behind some odds and ends. I thought it was unimportant, so I didn't mention it to you! And I went to the garbage dump secretly at night, so I am ashamed to tell it. Later, I changed from rummaging through the garbage dump to stealing Something, if you didn’t know about it, I wouldn’t have told you about it!” Bao Zhupo explained shyly.

What Bao Zhupo said made sense, these things seemed to be predestined, and coincidence contained cause and effect.We were talking on the mountain road, and Bao Zhupo seemed to like this way very much, shaking out the suppressed secrets, and my heart was soon at ease.After returning to Machang Village, Bao Zhupo wanted to give me Jiang Lin's things, but I was afraid that the villagers passing by would see me, so I made an appointment to pick them up again at night. As soon as I arrived in the village, Ouyang Xin called and asked me where I was now.I knew that Ouyang Xin wanted to know what the police wanted me to do, so I strode towards the school and explained to Ouyang Xin face to face.In fact, Ouyang Xin also knows that the detection work in the real world will not be completed in the blink of an eye. In addition to technical detection, some aspects need to be approved by the leadership. There will be no progress in a day or two unless the leadership attaches great importance to the case.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Wu Lingchun washing clothes, but Liu Qin was nowhere to be seen, so I asked Ouyang Xin, "Where is Liu Qin? Don't you have classes in the afternoon?" "Liu Qin? She seems to have gone out!" Ouyang Xin said uncertainly, "It's already half past five, and classes are over early, so she probably went for a walk." At five o'clock in late autumn, the sky is already full of ghosts and cloudy air.I wondered in my heart, did Liu Qin go out often? I didn't notice it before, but I only discovered it recently.A lot of things have happened in the village recently, Liu Qin is so timid, where will she go now?Ouyang Xin didn't think much, thinking that Liu Qin really went for a walk.I wanted to tell about the discovery of the memory card, but this time I was afraid of accidents, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.The person who secretly changed the memory card probably didn't know that I had discovered the clue, so it's better to wait and see what happens, and see who is up to it.

I waited and waited in the dormitory, and it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening before Liu Qin came back from outside.I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel that Liu Qin's body is dirty, as if she just came out of the forest, and there are still some dead leaves hanging on her body.Seeing me sitting in the dormitory, Liu Qin nervously asked me if I had dinner, but I didn't answer, but lowered my gaze to her shoes.The sides of those white sneakers were covered with a layer of yellow mud, which was sticky. One could tell at a glance that she had been to the mountains and forests, and the roads in the village were paved with river sand, so there was not so much mud.

However, I deliberately didn't tell the truth, I just pretended to be okay, and said with a smile that I had eaten it.Seeing that I had no doubts, Liu Qin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly cooked the noodles by herself.I looked at Liu Qin's back, feeling sad and hating myself.Originally, Liu Qin and I seemed like good sisters who met each other late, but now she has many doubts, is it really a ghost?I hate myself for being so suspicious of my good sister. There are more and more suspicious points, almost all of which are concentrated on her, and I can't get around this hurdle no matter what. In order to confirm my guess, I waited for Liu Qin to finish eating, closed the door on purpose, and revealed to her about the memory card.When Liu Qin learned about the problem with the memory card, she was shocked, as if she was frightened.Although I didn't say anything about the insider, it showed that the files on the memory card were deleted, and Jiang Lin definitely took more pictures. "You really think that?" Liu Qin asked calmly. "That's for sure! Otherwise, the modification date of the file on the memory card should be the same as the photo shooting date. Even if they are not, the modification time would not be last Thursday." I analyzed. "That's strange." Liu Qin murmured. I let out the line and waited until the fish was hooked, so I pretended to fall asleep and snored profusely.Liu Qin waited until after 9 o'clock in the evening, and turned on the light at almost 10 o'clock, but she didn't go back to bed after turning on the light, but quietly closed the door and walked out alone.I suddenly sat up from the bed, panting in the dark dormitory, I couldn't believe that Liu Qin was really the ghost.Otherwise, why did Liu Qin run out alone so soon after hearing me talking about the memory card? Isn't she timid? People really have two sides, one side is in front of others, and the other side is behind others, just like a double-faced god! I got up in the dark, put on my shoes, picked up a flashlight, and slipped out of the dormitory after waiting for a while.As soon as Liu Qin walked away, I could see her without turning on the flashlight. It seemed that she was walking out of the village.It's so late, and there is no one else outside the village, what is Liu Qin doing outside?I became more and more suspicious, and then I followed all the way, trying to catch the ghost and ask what kind of tricks the ghost wanted to play.In order not to be discovered, I did not turn on the flashlight, and stopped and stopped along the way, fearing that Liu Qin would find out. Liu Qin left the village and walked down a field where the rice had been harvested and it was very empty.I hid behind a tree and watched from a distance, thinking who would come out to meet Liu Qin.Strangely, Liu Qin kept walking in the field, and finally walked into the woods behind the paddy field.There is an earth temple in that forest, Zhao Xiyue and I talked there last month, where is Liu Qin doing now? When Liu Qin got into the woods, I ran down the field on tiptoe, chasing after him with my heart beating wildly.The earth temple in the woods has long been dilapidated. There used to be a path, but because no one came, the path was swallowed up by weeds.I stepped on the grass and made a rustling sound. Fortunately, the wind was strong at night and the sound of the grass was covered.I walked around for a while, and saw a very small building in the distance, that is the Earth Temple. A month ago, there was a fight in the Earth Temple, the clay sculpture of Father Earth fell down, and the temple was in a mess.When I got closer, I saw a figure sneaking up to the temple. After seeing no one around, that person walked into the temple.I leaned on an old tree and wondered what Liu Qin was doing, even if she was an inner ghost, what's the use of coming to the Earth Temple?Could it be that Liu Qin was able to make the first move because the father-in-law of the land showed her the spirit? Just as I was wondering, suddenly a hand was placed on my shoulder, which made me take a deep breath of air-conditioning, and looked back nervously.Seeing this, I was even more taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "You...why are you here!"
