sincerity of lies

In the early morning of the second day after returning from the police station, Ji Xun and his classmate Zhou stayed in the upper half-floor compartment of Yu Xiaoyu's grandma's house, waiting patiently for the police's action.

Waited not long.

Just at seven o'clock in the morning, Yu Xiaoyu opened the door, put on her shoes at the entrance with her schoolbag on her back, and was about to go out.

Her grandma's voice came from the house: "The bento is on the table, and I packed a lot of food for you."

"Okay." Yu Xiaoyu said, "Thank you grandma."

Grandma is still talking, and when I get old, I talk a lot, because I know that I may not be able to open my eyes again when I close my eyes, so I can't wait to say all the words I have saved all my life in one day.

"When eating at noon, remember to find a place to heat it up. Cold dishes taste greasy and unhealthy..."

Ji Xun looked down from the gap in the stairs.

He saw Yu Xiaoyu's shoes first.A pair of white canvas shoes, brushed very clean; followed by Yu Xiaoyu's gray skirt, probably because she lived with her grandma. Recalling the few times I met Yu Xiaoyu, she dressed very low-key, either gray or blue, a kind of The dull color is like Yu Xiaoyu herself.

Then Ji Xun saw the lunch box in Yu Xiaoyu's hand. The lunch box was wrapped in a piece of cloth with golden pink flowers on a blue background. Even this piece of cloth was brighter than Yu Xiaoyu's clothes.

He saw Yu Xiaoyu closed the door, hurriedly took two steps down the stairs, and rushed to school.

Suddenly, the figure stopped moving.

Ji Xun leaned forward again, and this time he saw the dark blue uniform and the shiny silver epaulets.

The police are here.

He teased classmate Zhou, classmate Zhou was like a rock and didn't move.

He was puzzled and turned his head away: "The police are here and they want to take Yu Xiaoyu to her parents' house. Let's follow quickly."

Classmate Zhou seemed to be in some kind of perplexed meditation, until then, he nodded in a startled state: "Okay."

Ji Xun had written down the address of Yu Xiaoyu's parents' community early on, and when the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, they arrived earlier than Police Officer Qin.

They were waiting in the corridor, waiting for Yu Xiaoyu to open the door, but it was here. Police officer Qin seemed to have learned how not to step on the pit, and pulled them out very accurately.

"Brother..." Ji Xun talked about him from left to right, "What a coincidence! Why are you here?"

"Don't bother to talk about him!" Officer Qin turned his face straight away, stern and selfless, "The police handle the case, no one else can come in! All students should go back to my class, and if you dare to make trouble, I will take you back to the police station and open a room for you. You go in and calm down and reflect on it!"

On the stairs, the three of them were in a stalemate until an exclamation came from downstairs:

"There's blood!"

Officer Qin was stunned at first, and then his expression changed slightly. Just when he seemed to be hesitating, Ji Xun had already pulled Classmate Zhou, and the two of them, like two dexterous little leopards, slipped past Officer Qin's side and ran down !

"You two—"

Police Officer Qin's voice was swept away by the wind and landed in a distant place that he didn't need to pay attention to at all. Ji Xun and Zhou classmate rushed into Yu Xiaoyu's parents' room with the door open, and immediately saw bloodstains.

A pile of bloody facial tissue balls, most of them are on the coffee table in the living room, and one ball is left alone in the entrance hallway, in front of Xiao Yu's white canvas shoes, the blood on the paper towels is reflected on her paper-white canvas shoes , reflecting an ugly red copper-colored trace.

After a while, the quietly hanging gray skirt trembled like waves.

As if she couldn't bear it any longer, Yu Xiaoyu kicked away the ball of facial tissues in front of her feet, as if kicking away something dirty.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ji Xun seized the opportunity to take a rough look at the house.

This is a typical house with three bedrooms and one living room. The decoration is ordinary, but the layout is good. It looks spacious, and the large furniture is complete, but there are no small items. Ji Xun took a rough look in several rooms, and those tables and chairs The dust on the floor has accumulated to the thickness that can be wiped with fingers, and it seems that there is really no trace of temporary residence.

Am I guessing wrong?

Xu Shijin doesn't live here...is this just a secret base where Yu Xiaoyu and Xu Shijin meet?

Seems to make sense too.But it always feels a bit convoluted.

Xu Shijin's mobile phone signal appeared here, proving that she had been here.Her family background is not very rich, and she is young. It is always inconvenient and unsafe to go out to stay in a hotel. She obviously has a place to stay without any worries, why not take it?

And here's the library...

The rest of the place here is clean and tidy, only the study room, which still has a lot of things, a large bookshelf against the wall, there are many book patterns on it, and there is a table next to it, and there are two color printers on the table. Below is a spider web of wires.

At the entrance, Officer Qin and his companion looked at each other seriously.

Officer Qin bent down to pick up the tissue ball, and asked Yu Xiaoyu, "What's going on here?"

Yu Xiaoyu bowed his head and remained silent.

Police officer Qin didn't force him either, but he and his companions began to search the house formally. Originally, they thought it was impossible and shouldn't be possible for a high school sophomore girl. Now, they are much more serious.

They walked straight towards the coffee table in the living room. The paper balls were piled up the most next to the coffee table. There must be something there.

With a sound of "swipe", the drawer of the coffee table was pulled out, and the things stored inside were also exposed.

The most eye-catching thing is a bloody knife.

There was a pack of cigarettes next to the knife, and a lighter next to the cigarettes. Next to the lighter, there was a pack of cotton swabs and a small bottle of alcohol. In addition to these, there was even a pair of white earphones entrenched in the corner, and a whole stack of about ten tapes.

Police officer Qin heard from Ji Xun that Zhen Huan's parents released the tape publicly, and also saw the tape that Ji Xun gave him as physical evidence.The tape was the same color as the seal in the drawer, a blank blue sticker with no printing on it.

"Let me explain." Officer Qin said to Xiao Yu.

Yu Xiaoyu's face turned pale, as white as her canvas shoes.There was a lot of panic and anxiety on her face, and the young girl's expression really aroused pity.

The two policemen consciously softened their serious expressions.

Officer Qin said: "Don't be afraid, and don't lie, just tell us the truth. The teacher at school taught you that it is not terrible to make mistakes. We must first recognize the mistakes and then correct them."

"Okay, Uncle Policeman, let me say." Yu Xiaoyu lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, trembling faintly, "Can I come closer and walk to the coffee table, I..."

"It's okay, come here." Officer Qin said, "Let's sit on the sofa and talk slowly."

He stepped aside and let Yu Xiaoyu walk to him from the front a little bit... The accident happened suddenly at this moment!

When he came to the tea table, Yu Xiaoyu, who was originally obedient and timid, and did not dare to amplify his voice, was caught off guard by everyone, bent down, folded his hands like a basket, and took out the tape from the drawer.

She grabbed the tape, pulled out all the plastic bags inside like hooked fingers, and tore up all the plastic bags inside. Then she grabbed the lighter in the corner of the drawer, and lit it in front of her face!

The ignited flame was so close to her, so close that it scorched her hanging hair, giving off an unpleasant burnt smell, so close that it illuminated her still beautiful, slender, and weak face.

Her hands trembled, the flame moved away from her face, and moved closer to the tape.

"call--"

The black plastic tape inside the tape, ignited.

A bigger flame ignited, and the turbulent flame was not only burning in front of her eyes, but also burning in her body.She started screaming, laughing, laughing in rage:

"Burn it, burn it, you can't get anything, ah!—ahhh!—get out, get out of here!"

The flame finally melted her false softness like wax.

"What are you doing!"

"Not allowed to move!"

After being stunned, the two policemen reacted very quickly. Officer Qin immediately controlled Yu Xiaoyu, who was suddenly emotional .

The flames were extinguished, but Yu Xiaoyu, who was caught by Police Officer Qin, did not give up her resistance. The flames melted away her calmness like a wax statue, but Yu Xiaoyu's violent struggle and screaming did not stop.

Her hair was flicking wildly, and her glasses slipped from her ears and hung crookedly on her face during the struggle. Her struggles almost exceeded the limits of what a girl can do. Even the well-trained police officer Qin was a little bit Can't hold her down.

During the struggle, Yu Xiaoyu's sleeves were torn up, and Ji Xun clearly saw the knife cuts and cigarette butt burns all over her thin arms.

traces left behind.

The first time he saw Yu Xiaoyu, he had glimpsed the traces.

At this moment, when he saw clearly that there was no trace of Xu Shijin's life in Yu Xiaoyu's parents' house, and when he saw clearly the crazy moment under Yu Xiaoyu's gentle and timid illusion, Ji Xun's thoughts were extremely clear.

In the chaos, he suddenly said: "Yu Xiaoyu, I was wrong. I always thought that these things were done by Xu Shijin, or that Xu Shijin conspired with you and ordered you to do them. I have always ignored a possibility... It is possible that you did all these things without telling Xu Shijin!"

The drug was bought by Yu Xiaoyu. On that day, classmate Zhou said that Yu Xiaoyu smelled of smoke. He thought the smoke scars on his hands were the source of the smell. However, the smell of smoke could also be left by setting fire to Zhen Huan’s parents’ house with cigarettes. .

Xu Shijin can record the private recording of Xu Shijin's parents, and so can Yu Xiaoyu, they are so good, as long as she gets the key from Xu Shijin, she can also play the recording equipment.

The report letter is a letter, and the signature is just a name. Except for the people from the Education Bureau, no one has seen what the letter looks like. Just because Xu Shijin reported it once before, it must be her this time.

There is also the autopsy report, maybe Xu Shijin took the photo accidentally that day, but as mentioned above, the relationship between the two is so good, Xu Shijin probably shared it with Yu Xiaoyu that day, and Yu Xiaoyu also got this information logically.

The only thing that could not be done by Xiaoyu was the phone call to Chen Ya.

But if Xu Shijin didn't know about Yu Xiaoyu's series of revenge actions at all, she was just running away from home, and when she heard the news and called Chen Ya suddenly, it could be understood as a natural venting of emotions, rather than deliberate revenge .

In Chen Ya's retelling, Xu Shijin was only scolding her for harming herself, and didn't mention anything else.

From this point of view, the story is just a heartbroken female high school student who ran away from home. She was overwhelmed by malice, and she curled up in the corner tiredly and licked her wounds. After suffering from sorrow and hardship, he decided to avenge her.

Just one more problem...

Yu Xiaoyu is usually in class, so she can't stay with her to comfort her.How can Xu Shijin be so depressed alone?In the past, she wrote one after another public suicide note, her character is not the type to lick her wounds alone, on the contrary, she is very eager for others to hear her voice and respond to her call for help.

The same is true for running away from home. Usually, on the one hand, they cannot bear the environment at home, and on the other hand, they want to exchange this move for the anxiety and remorse of their parents.It's also an act of wanting some kind of feedback.

However, Xu Shijin only contacted Yu Xiaoyu during this time.Xu Shijin seemed to put herself on an isolated island with Yu Xiaoyu alone. She no longer sought sympathy and understanding from the people around her, and she no longer even contacted her parents, and no longer needed their understanding and regret... In a short period of time, her personality changed drastically ,is it possible?

Ji Xun suddenly thought of what he said casually yesterday, the reason why the police came here - Yu Xiaoyu kidnapped Xu Shijin.

Yu Xiaoyu was quite depressed, to the point of self-mutilation, and this series of revenge behaviors was also very crazy and terrible, including the humiliation of Xu Shijin's parents.Yu Xiaoyu was afraid that Xu Shijin would waver in the middle, didn't want Xu Shijin to ruin the plan, or worried that Xu Shijin would betray herself, so she put Xu Shijin under house arrest—kidnapping—in disguise.

He thought of this, and Classmate Zhou seemed to think of it too.

When he was clearing his mind completely, he saw classmate Zhou's bright eyes.

Those eyes, contrary to the usual dimness concealed under the thick hair, burst out like a shadowless lamp on the operating table, shining over Xiaoyu's body and shining into Xiaoyu's soul:

"You eat in the cafeteria at noon every day."

He spoke softly, the voice was not loud, and he couldn't occupy a place in the decibels of Xiaoyu's sharp voice, but strangely, the crazy Yu Xiaoyu heard his words, and suddenly stopped speaking.

Her fierce gaze was filled with strong malice, and pierced Classmate Zhou's face through crooked glasses.

Classmate Zhou didn't dodge.

Ji Xun even saw the same malice in a trance. Zhou's face seemed to be a mirror, completely reflecting Xiao Yu's malice... Or, it didn't come from Xiao Yu's malice, but from Zhou himself. malicious.

Classmate Zhou said softly: "You eat in the cafeteria every day, why do you still bring a bento? Unless this bento is for someone else... This bento belongs to Xu Shijin, who is under house arrest by you."

"But you can't deliver food today." Classmate Zhou smiled happily, "The police discovered what you did, and you will be taken to the police station for questioning, of course you will not speak up. If you open your mouth, you are guilty. In order to make yourself innocent, you have to keep silent, silent all the way, silent for 12 hours, silent for 24 hours, Xu Shijin is in the place where you put her under house arrest, hungry, for an hour, I've been waiting for you for an hour, I don't know when you will come..."

"She's getting hungry, thirsty, lonely, and scared..."

"Will her best friend forget and abandon her after she is under house arrest?"

"It's so pitiful..."

The evil fire was extinguished from Xiao Yu's body, and she was completely captured by the scene described by classmate Zhou. She was dazed, staggered, and began to sob softly...

Officer Qin heaved a sigh of relief, let go of the hand that was holding Xiao Yu's arm, and quickly put away the tapes scattered on the ground that were obviously key evidence... Especially the knife in the drawer and the lighter on the ground, he immediately put away this dangerous All items are under control!

At this time, Yu Xiaoyu took out a small knife from his pocket.

No one thought that she would carry this sharp weapon with her.

With a soft face and a fierce knife, she clenched the knife tightly and rushed towards Classmate Zhou. The light of the knife drew a flying silver line in the air.
