sincerity of lies

After leaving school, the two of them went to the orthopedics department of the hospital for a solid examination and bandages. Fortunately, the bandages were bandaged and there was no need for plaster. suffering.

After coming out of the hospital, Ji Xun kept hissing, and Xuexue cried out in pain.

"Doesn't it mean that saving people is very satisfying?" Classmate Zhou finally spoke, with a bit of disgust for Ji Xun's lack of heroism, "Why do you keep calling?"

"Saving people is satisfying, yes, but the pain is really painful." Ji Xun sighed, "Don't you feel pain?"

"..."

"Just say it hurts," Ji Xun, "I won't laugh at you. If you don't call it pain, how will others know that you are in pain—of course, I know it very well." He winked at Classmate Zhou again and pointed at himself arm, "I can empathize with you."

Classmate Zhou turned his head away slightly, and raised his chin, showing a kind of arrogant look that he didn't want to admit or refute.

They walked for a while along the way, and Ji Xun sent Classmate Zhou to his home. One of his arms was good, so this arm was hung with Classmate Zhou’s schoolbag. After sending both the person and the schoolbag to the destination, they should also separate .

"I have one last question."

Ji Xun uses questions instead of farewell.In his view, farewell is meaningless, but asking is meaningful—if the answer to the parting question does not satisfy him, then he will always think about the answer until the two meet next time.

In this way, every minute and every second when the two of them are separated is filled with longing and anticipation, and even life becomes more hopeful.

"Why does Class A and Class E go on an autumn outing together?" Ji asked, and also used this question to organize his thoughts, "Are you many classes going on an autumn outing together?"

"No, they went in batches." Zhou said.

This answer was a bit unexpected for Ji Xun. He turned his face and said, "Your school formed teams randomly? So Class A happened to get the lottery for Class E?"

"Not really. Class A originally didn't go on an autumn tour." Classmate Zhou said, and he further explained, "Class A is a top class, and they have the right not to participate in many school activities—or, by default, they will not participate. The most important task is to get good grades in the exam.”

"So the school didn't want to let Class A go on an autumn tour. It's a special case for Class A to go with your class in the end. This kind of special case should be applied for special approval by the class teacher, or it should be cut first and played later." Ji Xun thought thoughtfully, "This Shouldn't I go, but ended up going, and something happened and someone died, the class teacher's responsibility is very big..."

The head teacher's problem made new progress on the second day.

Ji Xun received the news at noon, and the source of the news was naturally Classmate Zhou.

They were sitting in a small shop outside the school. Classmate Zhou felt pain in both hands. Ji Xun fed him with his right hand flexibly. What happened inside: "Duan Huiwen has been suspended from duty."

"Why did you make this decision so suddenly?" Ji Xun said unexpectedly, "Yesterday, the elder brother's attitude of keeping the money secret was still trying to suppress the matter."

"It's because the Education Bureau came today." Classmate Zhou, "Someone wrote to the Education Bureau to report Chi Wenlan's teacher-student relationship. He entered the school because Duan Huiwen opened the back door because of his relatives. It was originally a cutscene investigation, but yesterday Things have become so big, and the love between teachers and students who are chasing rumors has become a real proof."

"...Well, because of the bad influence, it might not be favoritism or favoritism."

"You seem to have something to say." Classmate Zhou looked at Ji Xun.

"The Education Bureau responded really quickly. It happened to be today. The report letter usually has to go through a process. The whistleblower must have sent the letter several days in advance. Xu Shijin reported to the Education Bureau once before and understood the process." Ji Xun said slowly, "Then, Zhen Huan's death report yesterday was actually in cooperation with the report letter. The person Xu Shijin really wants to take revenge is not Chi Wenlan, but Duan Huiwen is more likely!"

"Why did Xu Shijin take revenge on Duan Huiwen?" Classmate Zhou questioned.

"Yesterday the police inadvertently revealed that they came to the school four or five times. Today, Xu Shijin jumped off the building once, and Zhen Huan's death was investigated once. What about the others? What are they here for? I was thinking before, why did Zhen Huan's parents Suddenly wanted to do an autopsy, where did they know about these rumors? Either Zhen Huan's classmates told her, or the police told them. According to the normal process, after Zhen Huan was identified as suicide, the police Generally will not participate in this matter again—"

Classmate Zhou followed his train of thought and added: "Do you think that the rumor among classmates that Xu Shijin refused to save Zhen Huan made the police pay attention to this matter again?"

Ji Xun shook his head: "The police don't listen to the wind and the rain. With the style of your school's seniors who want to suppress things, you don't want this kind of gossip to reach the ears of the police. A student committed suicide, and a student Disregarding the fact that another person committed suicide, which obviously had a worse impact."

Classmate Zhou understood: "The students' rumors cannot be trusted, but the teacher's testimony cannot be ignored. Do you mean that Xu Shijin took revenge on Duan Huiwen because Duan Huiwen testified against her to the police?"

"This is just my guess, used to make my reasoning valid. My guessing has always been wild and unrestrained, but the truth is not reasoning, it needs evidence. Uh, this is my bad habit. It can't be changed, so don't learn it." Ji Xun whispered with a little bit of guilt for setting a bad example for his classmates.

"Why can't it be changed?"

"Although I'm a little bit boastful...But it's not an exaggeration to say that I always guess right."

"..." Classmate Zhou didn't speak for a long time, probably because he was there.

With speculation the next step, of course, is to find evidence.

From the current point of view, Yu Xiaoyu, who has a close relationship with Xu Shijin, is a breakthrough that can be tried.Yu Xiaoyu doesn't go home at noon, and she should still be in school now, but she always keeps a low profile in the class and has no sense of presence. Everyone doesn't know where she goes after class—or knows, but she doesn't want to tell "discuss" Classmate Zhou.

The two of them could only guess where Yu Xiaoyu might go.

In this regard, Ji Xun, who was not familiar with the school, could do nothing but put the burden on Zhou.

Classmate Zhou was silent for a moment.

"……lawn."

"Ok?"

"She is on the lawn." Classmate Zhou said firmly, "Unpopular people also disdain crowds. They prefer to be alone and embrace loneliness. Yu Xiaoyu and I were also bullied and bullied... I think, I know Yu Xiaoyu will choose place."

Of course Ji Xun chose to trust his little classmates.

He asked classmate Zhou to lead the way. They turned around in the school and turned to a sloping field behind the playground.

This is a good place, with lush green grass and lush trees. Looking up from the playground, you can only see dense shadows of trees, and you can't see the people hiding in it clearly; people's movements.

Most importantly, very few people come here.

Students always prefer to go to the mushroom pavilion at the back door, or the stone path of the school.

They entered the slope, most of the power of the hot sun at noon was blocked by the emerald green leaves, leaving only the most gentle ray, penetrating the gap between the leaves, lying on the top of Xiaoyu's hair. A circle of hazy and gentle golden light, like the merciful caress of the Virgin Mary.

Yu Xiaoyu is reading a book.

She bent her knees and held the book upright, so Ji Xun saw the cover of the book, "Xi Murong's Works Collection", and he looked at Yu Xiaoyu's face again. The previous meeting was too hasty, and now Ji Xun can see Yu Xiaoyu's face clearly look.

Based on the first impression, the girl is not very beautiful, her cheeks are sunken, and the stork bone is too high. From a distance, she has a mean and miserable face; but if you look closer, you will find that she is under the round lens Her eyes are as gentle as a crescent moon, her nose is round, and her soft petal-shaped lips match perfectly.

This is a look that gets better and better the more you look at it. If the girl can be more plump, she must be a very cute girl.

But if this is really the case, it doesn't quite match the temperament she possesses at the moment.Although her sunken cheeks destroyed the overall outline, there was always a thin shadow inside, like a cloud of melancholy hovering.

Their approach soon alarmed Xiao Yu.

Yu Xiaoyu's gaze moved from the page to them. When he saw them clearly, Ji Xun noticed that Yu Xiaoyu's eyes changed, and the wandering melancholy turned into a cold gloom.

She doesn't welcome us.

Ji Xun thought.

"Student Yu Xiaoyu, can I spare you some time?" Ji Xun said, "We want to know something from you."

Yu Xiaoyu did not respond to them.

She began to look uneasy, clutching the closed book tightly with her hands, her eyes began to turn left and right, as if looking for a friend who could help her out of the predicament.

But of course... she has no friends.The only friend, Xu Shijin, hasn't come to school for more than a week.

No one will come to her aid.

She froze in place, not daring to run: "You... what do you want to do?"

Although they really didn't do anything... But Yu Xiaoyu's appearance made Ji Xun suddenly feel that he and Classmate Zhou, one and a half big men, were bullying the little girl.

He was slightly apologetic, and was thinking about whether he should speak in a more gentle manner, so as not to make Yu Xiaoyu feel uncomfortable, but Classmate Zhou spoke up first.

"The back door of the school, Mushroom Pavilion." Classmate Zhou, "I saw you last night."

Classmate Zhou didn't really see people.

He was cheating Yu Xiaoyu.Ji Xun thought about it, and when he looked at Yu Xiaoyu again, he saw that the other's rosy lips had lost their color and turned pale as frost, and her eyes were also flickering slightly...

Yu Xiaoyu was nervous and guilty.

The fraud was successful.

The black shadow last night was really Yu Xiaoyu.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Yu Xiaoyu mustered up his courage.

"I took a photo." Classmate Zhou was too lazy to distinguish and continued to deceive people.

After these words, Yu Xiaoyu stopped talking and just lowered his head.

"Why did you tell Xu Shijin about Chen Ya?" Classmate Zhou said, "Chen Ya almost jumped off the building."

"...I don't want to either." For a long time, Yu Xiaoyu said in a trembling voice, "I didn't expect Chen Ya to jump off the building. I just want to tell Shi Jin the truth. She is my good friend. I will kill her. Tell her the truth about suffering so badly, there is no problem..."

Gradually, the tremor in her voice spread to her body, and she trembled like a weather-beaten flower bud.

Classmate Zhou still wanted to question, but Ji Xun stopped him.

He shook his head at Classmate Zhou, signaling that enough was enough.

Classmate Zhou was silent for a moment and shut up.

"Okay, we got it." Ji Xun said softly, "Thank you, classmate Yu Xiaoyu."

He took classmate Zhou away.

Before he left, he took one last look at Yu Xiaoyu, Yu Xiaoyu was still sitting in the original position, she hung her head, the melancholy cloud on her face was getting heavier and heavier, forming a heavy shadow; the trembling of her body followed their departure , and finally calmed down slowly... She was like a poor prey, once she encountered something that looked like a hunter's weapon, she didn't even dare to resist.

She and her friend, Xu Shijin, who is both powerful and dangerous, are a stark contrast.

They are gone.

Classmate Zhou was silent all the way.

Ji Xun said, "Angry at me for pulling you away?"

"No. I know you don't want to put more pressure on her. And this level of asking is enough. We can figure out a way later." Zhou said, "I'm thinking about the poem she read."

When he was talking to Yu Xiaoyu just now, he caught a glimpse of Xi Murong's "Melancholy of Conjecture".

I often wonder when dusk has fallen

you who walked the corner

Will it stop suddenly?

suddenly remind me

……

"This poem looks familiar. But I don't usually read poems, so I don't know where I saw them." He continued to talk about the way we got along just now, "From Yu Xiaoyu's attitude, she will not tell us where Xu Shijin is. We might as well follow Yu Xiaoyu and confirm where Xu Shijin is."

"Student, your thoughts..." Ji Xun looked sideways, "It's a bit illegal to be direct."

"Be flexible." Classmate Zhou.

"Although that's what I said, but the two of us lost three arms, the Paralympic sports are really eye-catching..." Ji Xun thought about it, and felt that compared to Xiao Yu's weakness, from the results, Xu Shijin was like Yu Xiaoyu The other extreme of action is strong and dangerous, "Let's go through the normal process!"

It's normal to call the police when you're in doubt.

However, the attitude of the police who received him was beyond Ji Xun's expectation.

The author has something to say: Mojiu~
