There is a lot of wind on the rooftop.

This is not a long half a year, Lu Mengting has been here countless times.

However, most of the time, it is late at night.

Every sleepless night, Lu Mengting would sneak out of the dormitory and climb up to the roof of the building.

Do nothing but blow hair.

The wind at night is always very cold, especially in winter, but Lu Mengting is masochistic and stubborn, thinking that this kind of cold wind can blow away part of her body's filth.

Obviously last September, when she first entered the Yashen Conservatory of Music, everything was still completely different.

At that time, she lived in joy every day, because it had always been her dream to be admitted to the Yashen Conservatory of Music as a graduate student. She thought that everything was at a new starting point——

In the school you love, learn the major you love, and concentrate on preparing a thesis for a professional award. In your spare time, you may talk about a campus romance, or just eat, drink and play the piano with your good sisters...

By the way, she also has an elite-looking, young and promising mentor named Qian Shu.

Although in fact, she prefers Mr. Shen next to Mr. Qian. Mr. Shen is more handsome, has a more cheerful personality, loves to laugh, never puts on the teacher's airs, and is very talented. So full of skill, but full of emotion.

Lu Mengting once saw him get along with the students under his name, and the students would call him "Brother Shen" with a smile on their faces, and even bolder boys would simply hook up with him like a good brother. It can be described as a relationship between a teacher and a friend.

Lu Mengting felt very envious, but at the same time she was satisfied, because Teacher Qian was already very good.

After all, there is an old saying that goes well with contentment.

However, at that time, Lu Mengting didn't know that Qian Shu was just a beast in human skin!

When Qian Shu revealed something was wrong at the beginning, in fact, in the name of liking her and pursuing her, he would treat her to dinner and give her small gifts. When she was preparing the thesis for the professional award, she also gave her some theory. on the guidance.

But Lu Mengting only regarded Qian Shu as a teacher, so she explicitly rejected him.

At that time, Lu Mengting naively thought that everything can be paused here, and they are still an ordinary teacher-student relationship.

However, shortly after being rejected, Qian Shu seemed to be a different person, shedding his usual elite-like disguise, revealing a side almost like a rascal——

He would frequently ask Lu Mengting to go to his piano room alone. If Lu Mengting didn't go, it would be fine if there were classes, but if she was hiding in the dormitory, Qian Shu would come to her dormitory downstairs to block her!

In school, it is very common for the teacher to ask the students he is familiar with to help alone, especially the students of Mr. Shen do not need to be called by Mr. Shen. The students under his name spontaneously send to him every day. There are indeed very few people like Lu Mengting who hide from their immediate supervisors. Lu Mengting was afraid that other students would find out that she was wrong, so she had to be there on call.

At the beginning, Qian Shu was quite restrained, at most he would wrap his arms around Lu Mengting's waist and touch her hands when he was playing the piano.

Lu Mengting felt disgusted in her heart, but she could only bear it with difficulty.

But gradually, Qian Shu got worse and worse!

Until one night, in the piano room, Qian Shu violently tore off Lu Mengting's clothes, trying to force her to do that kind of thing, Lu Mengting's patience finally reached its limit, she pushed Qian Shu away, risking falling out with her mentor , is likely to affect their studies, and at the same time is likely to be the risk of being used as a talking point by the whole school, and they will resolutely leave Qian Shu's piano room.

However, what Lu Mengting didn't expect was that Qian Shu, a beast, could do even more egregious things.

At that time, less than half a month was left before the professional competition, and the thesis that Lu Mengting had painstakingly prepared for a long time was finally coming to an end.

That was probably her only hope and expectation during that time.

however…

However, up to now, Lu Mengting can still recall Qian Shu's devil-like voice in her ears!

Qian Shu was behind her, wrapped around her waist, and stuck to her ear, with a cold voice like a poisonous snake: "Mengting, do you want to run? You can run, but you run out of this door with your front foot, and your back foot I will never sign your name on this paper, so, my lovely little Mengting, do you still want to run away?"

To Lu Mengting, the bone-chilling coldness and horror she felt when she heard Qian Shu's words at that time is still as clear as yesterday, as if it had left a deep imprint on her that could never be washed off.

Lu Mengting subconsciously clenched her fists again, taking another step closer to the edge of the rooftop.

In fact, that was not the most desperate thing. After that day, Lu Mengting had to completely sell her soul and body in order to keep her hard work—the award-winning thesis.

Lu Mengting thought, forget it like this, just live like a walking dead like this, as long as Qian Shu no longer hinders her studies, as long as she persists until graduation, everything will be fine.

But...but until the day before yesterday!

The day before yesterday, if she hadn't easily listened to the slander on that anonymous note for the poor hope left in her heart...

So, Mr. Shen, will he not die? !

It's her, it's all her fault!

But she was already like a puddle of mud, but she still wanted to get a new life!

The stranger in the forum was right. What qualifications does a person like her have to live in this world? !

Lu Mengting closed her eyes and opened her arms to feel the strong wind on the rooftop.

She thought, this was probably the last time she experienced the feeling of the wind blowing through her hair.

I don't know if I can ask Mr. Shen to forgive me if I see Teacher Shen again after I die...

-

Downstairs in the girls' dormitory where Lu Mengting lived, many students had gathered at this time.

Exclaiming, worrying, discussing, simply watching the excitement...

There are all kinds of noise.

Wen Dong's nose was filled with mixed smells.

"Listen to me," Tang Chu couldn't catch his breath, and while moving quickly, he helped Wen Dong and Ji Lin untie the handcuffs they hadn't had time to untie, while quickly explaining, "Ruan Tian and I are downstairs First, find the security guards to evacuate the crowd. I called the firefighters to come and help. Teacher Ji and Mr. Xiaowen went up. I know it will be difficult, but I hope you can try your best to keep Lu Mengting stable, at least until the air mattress below. Get up, can you?"

There was no time to talk, Wen Dong and Ji Lin nodded briefly, turned around and strode into the building, and heard Tang Chu shout three words in a deep voice behind him: "Please!"

The two kept walking, and their backs disappeared in the stairwell in an instant.

Tang Chu quickly dialed the fire rescue number: "Hi, this is the Yashen Conservatory of Music..."

When he pushed open the roof door, Wen Dong felt a rust-like smell of blood wafting from his mouth, and the heart in his chest was beating extremely vigorously, almost flying out of his mouth.

Lu Mengting was standing on the edge of the roof. When she heard the sound, she turned her head.

Probably an art school, the design of this building is also two points exquisite, even the roof of the dormitory building is not an ordinary big platform.

Half of it is an ordinary platform, a so-called "half-story" building, with fences about half a person's height on the edge of the platform.

On the side of the fence, there is a vertical corridor that is at most one person wide. The end of the corridor is the edge of the entire building, which is still only a very narrow corridor that is one person wide.

Probably under normal circumstances, no one would turn over from the fence in the middle, so for the sake of beauty on this side, there are guardrails on both sides of the vertical corridor, and the straight one has no shelter on both sides.

And Lu Mengting, where she is standing now, is at the intersection of the two corridors.

When seeing Wen Dong and Ji Lin, Lu Mengting didn't recognize them as Qian Shu this time, but she was still very vigilant, and her whole body trembled visibly again.

The smell that fills Wen Dong's nose is very unpleasant, with strong bitterness and hotness intertwined, like a weird traditional Chinese medicine with excessive seasoning.

Obviously, Lu Mengting is overly sad and frightened now.

The position she was in was too dangerous, Wen Dong and Ji Lin didn't dare to speak rashly, let alone approach them easily, for fear that Lu Mengting would fall if she didn't want to jump herself.

Before coming to see Lu Mengting today, at the city bureau, Tang Chu had already given Wen Dong the latest developments, especially the parts related to Lu Mengting, so Wen Dong knew that according to Qian Shu's confession and some students at the school, Lu Mengting He admires Shen Xi very much.

At least it seems so.

After a moment of hesitation, Wen Dong opened his mouth and said softly, "Xiao Lu."

The moment Wen Dong made the sound, Wen Dong felt the pain in his throat tearing, but he had no time to take care of it.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Mengting's face, and all his attention was focused on Lu Mengting.

As if she didn't expect to hear this name, Lu Mengting was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Wen Dong.

Xiaolu, Xiaolu.

Contrary to "Mengting", this is Lu Mengting's favorite title.

Because, Teacher Shen Xi would call her that.

Keenly aware of the burning sensation at the tip of his nose, which had slightly faded, Wen Dong calmly breathed a sigh of relief, took a small step forward slowly, and smiled gently at Lu Mengting, as if he didn't realize that Lu Mengting As if preparing to jump off a building, Wen Dong's tone was relaxed as if chatting: "Sorry, Xiao Lu, I haven't had time to introduce myself to you yet. My name is Wen Dong, and I'm... Shen Xi's friend."

Lu Mengting was obviously startled again.

She thought that the overly good-looking boy in front of her who looked as old as herself was also from the police.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Teacher Shen's friend.

But... Teacher Shen is no longer here, Teacher Shen, it is because of her that she is not here!

What face does she have, facing Teacher Shen's friends again? !

"I'm sorry..." Lu Mengting opened her mouth in a hoarse voice, with a sad look on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Teacher Shen, I'm really, really sorry... I, I can't return Teacher Shen to you, what should I do... still I won't come back... I won't come back again... Do you hate me to death? Teacher Shen must hate me to death... I... I can only apologize with death!"

Her final sound suddenly became shrill, and the moment the word "crime" fell, Lu Mengting took another step to the right!

Leaving the relatively safe intersection on that side, both sides of her current position are already in the air.

Regardless of whether you take a step forward or backward, you may step into the abyss beyond redemption.

Wen Dong originally introduced himself as Shen Xi's friend, and his original intention was naturally to make Lu Mengting relax his vigilance, but what Wen Dong didn't expect was that after he finished the introduction, the burning smell in the nose filled the smell, and the bitterness was indeed fading away. But it became more intense in an instant, and there was even a fishy smell of the sea.

Wen Dong carefully distinguishes the complex flavors, and realizes that Lu Mengting's grief has not diminished, but she suddenly adds self-blame and regret.

What kind of situation would cause self-blame and regret for the deceased?

Wen Dong didn't have time to think about the possible answers behind this, and was about to continue talking to Lu Mengting when he heard Ji Lin beside him speak. He didn't try to call "Meng Ting" on purpose, nor did he call "Xiao Lu" like Wen Dong did. ", but called Lu Mengting's full name directly, his voice was always gentle and indifferent, and vaguely, there was a hint of persuasion: "Lu Mengting, in fact, you know that death cannot be apologetic. It's just your own relief, you are aware of this, right? So, you just want to seek relief, but you name it as an apology for it, if you really do this, your teacher Shenxi , can I really forgive you?"

As if she didn't expect her behavior to be interpreted in this way, Lu Mengting retorted subconsciously: "No! No... I'm not trying to free myself, I really, really feel that I don't deserve to live!"

When he said these words, the fishy smell from Lu Mengting's body became more and more intense, almost reaching a peak.

It was an extremely strong self-condemnation and deep regret.

Wen Dong thought, she probably really felt that she didn't deserve to live.

But on the surface, Wen Dong showed a proper look of surprise, and asked, "Why do you think so? Even Qian Shu..."

Probably because of his long-standing upbringing, it was difficult for him to utter foul language, so Wen Dong unconsciously paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued: "His kind of rotten person still lives at ease, why do you want to Do you feel unworthy? Just take a step back and say, you really have no desire to survive, shouldn't you kill that rotten person with your own hands, and then think about your own way out?"

Human emotions are really wonderful. Sometimes, even if human beings don’t want to admit it, they have to admit that hatred lasts longer than love, and hatred can provide a kind of spiritual support for human beings more than love.

Obviously, Wen Dong is well versed in this.

Sure enough, Lu Mengting was briefly shaken, at least, her attention was drawn to another direction.

Hearing the name "Qian Shu" this time, Lu Mengting did not suddenly fall into a mental disorder again. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ji Lin, and asked an unexpected question: "Police officer, are you a police officer? Are you investigating?" Are you clear, is that beast surnamed Qian the one who killed Teacher Shen?"

Lu Mengting's question was indeed too sudden, because before that, she had always been suspected as a suspect, but at this moment, she suddenly asked such a question. It is also difficult for Ji Lin to judge her intentions.

Wen Dong also deliberately distinguished the smell of the tip of his nose, and he could smell nothing too special except that after mentioning Qian Shu, Lu Mengting had an obvious feeling of hatred.

Ji Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he asked quietly: "Why do you ask that, maybe, what do you know?"

But Lu Mengting closed her mouth again, as if she was silent.

Ji Lin didn't show the slightest surprise, he took a step forward unhurriedly, looked straight into Lu Mengting's eyes, and said warmly: "Lu Mengting, I know, in fact, you and us have always been on the same side, we have The same purpose, that is, to find the murderer who killed Shen Xi as soon as possible, bring that person to justice, and give your Teacher Chen Xi an explanation."

Having said that, noticing that Lu Mengting's expression has loosened, Ji Lin slowly took another half step forward, and continued in a slow voice: "Although I don't know yet, what reason do you feel sorry for Shen Xi, But I can at least guarantee one thing, that is, if you really feel guilty and want to make up for it, then what you should really do is not to just jump and solve your worries, but to cooperate with us as much as possible and provide for us as much as possible. Provide the information you know, after all, if the murderer can be brought to justice one day earlier, your teacher Shen Xi will also be able to rest in peace one day sooner, do you agree with what I said?"

Lu Mengting's figure was tense, as if she was doing an extreme pull on herself.

The strong wind blows her white T-shirt, making her look thinner and thinner, like a bird on the verge of limit.

Her jaw tensed, as if she wanted to nod subconsciously, but she held back.

After a while, she didn't answer, but asked in a sad voice: "Do you really trust me that much? Don't you ever suspect that the murderer may be far away, yet close in front of you?"

It has to be said that Lu Mengting is worthy of being a talented top student. At this time, her mind can still turn so fast.

Just as Ji Lin was about to speak, he saw Wen Dong stepping forward and standing side by side with him.

"No," Wen Dong's voice was gentle and firm, with a natural force of conviction, he repeated, "Xiao Lu, no, I never doubted you, because, before Shen Xi was alive, he mentioned to me that over you."

Ji Lin tilted his head slightly, and immediately realized that this was just Wen Dong's strategy.

It is clear that when Wen Dong first heard the name "Lu Mengting", what Wen Dong showed was complete strangeness.

Obviously, Shen Xi never mentioned Lu Mengting to Wen Dong.

However, for Lu Mengting now, this unhesitating trust, especially the trust from Shen Xi's friends, is so important.

To take a step back, if Lu Mengting is not the murderer, then she will naturally be moved by Wen Dong's words, so she is willing to cooperate with them; and if Lu Mengting is really the murderer, but her remorse is not fake, this trust can further awaken her Conscience or courage, even made her surrender.

Sure enough, Lu Mengting was obviously stunned, and there was a half-hopeful look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Dong unconsciously.

After a while, she opened her mouth, her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something: "Really? Teacher Shen, he... what did he say?"

Before Lu Mengting knew it, Wen Dong and Ji Lin had already reached the fence of the platform.

There is still a corridor away from Lu Mengting.

Wen Dong deliberately raised his hand, compared the distance between Lu Mengting and him, and tentatively said: "Mr. Shen said a lot... Do you want to come back first, let's sit down and talk slowly? By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am If you are an art student, if you want, I can still draw a picture of you getting along with Mr. Shen."

He offered two conditions in a row, both of which were extremely attractive to Lu Mengting.

Lu Mengting's wavering became more and more obvious. Wen Dong could clearly smell that the bitterness, burning and fishy smell on her body were fading away, replaced by a faint smell like the sun baking the earth.

That is the taste of hope.

Wen Dong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought that the victory was just around the corner, so he had lived up to Officer Tang's expectations of the two of them.

Finally, Lu Mengting moved.

She took a step to the left and returned to the intersection of the two corridors.

Wen Dong and Ji Lin didn't speak any more, they just watched Lu Mengting's movements seriously for a moment.

Lu Mengting was on the spot, turning around slowly, facing Wen Dong and Ji Lin.

As long as she returns from this corridor, she can hear Teacher Shen's evaluation of her!

Lu Mengting had never thought before, or dared not think, that Teacher Shen would mention her to his friends.

Maybe, let Teacher Shen's friend draw a picture of her getting along with Teacher Shen...

Lu Mengting doesn't really want to die anymore, even if she really wants to die, she has to wait until she has heard about it, watched it, and then helps the police catch the murderer who killed Teacher Shen before she dies!

In this way, when she really saw Teacher Shen again, she could have a little bit of confidence to ask for his forgiveness.

Thinking this way, Lu Mengting finally stepped up and embarked on the road to return to life.

Holding on to the guardrail on one side, she walked very slowly, step by step.

Strange to say, when she first came to this narrow corridor, she didn't even have a guardrail at all, and she didn't feel the slightest fear...

But now she was about to go back, and she was still holding on to the guardrail, but Lu Mengting didn't dare to look down at all.

Wen Dong held his breath subconsciously, feeling that his heartbeat was in sync with Lu Mengting's footsteps.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Lu Mengting was almost moving forward with difficulty, the wind blew her hair, the hem of her clothes, and the bottom of her trousers.

It's almost there, another third, another third, it's almost there!

However, misfortunes happened suddenly!

For some reason, the guardrail she was holding on to was loose!

Inertia brought her to slide out!

Everything seemed to happen at that moment.

Wen Dong didn't see clearly what kind of reaction ability and astonishing speed Ji Lin used to climb over the fence and reach the corridor the moment he realized that Lu Mengting had caught the air.

When he came back to his senses, Ji Lin was already standing on the corridor on the side of the fence, and stretched out his hand, tightly holding Lu Mengting's wrist that was instinctively stretched upwards.

Wen Dong wanted to help him, but there was only one person standing in the corridor, and there was no room for him to contribute.

He could only stand on this side, watching Ji Lin's movements anxiously.

Ji Lin usually doesn't look like Tang Chu's powerful type, but at this moment, his forearm holding Lu Mengting's wrist seems as solid as a rock.

The wrist bone was protruding, the five fingers were tense, and all the strength of the whole body was poured into the forearm. Cooperating with Lu Mengting's strong survival instinct, finally, Lu Mengting was pulled up!

However, before Wen Dong could breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Mengting, who was pulled up, lost all strength and subconsciously fell into Ji Lin's arms. Ji Lin was pushed back by her force, and instinctively supported the guardrail beside her.

But the guardrail on that side was also loose!

Ji Lin also slid back out!

In the nick of time, he exerted strength with both hands and firmly grasped the edge of the corridor.

Ji Lin hung in the air on the edge of the corridor, all the weight of his body was under negative pressure on his two hands.

Lu Mengting was completely frightened, Wen Dong yelled at her: "You come back first!"

Lu Mengting just came back to her senses, knowing that she was not capable enough, so she didn't bother, walked quickly to the end of the corridor, climbed over the fence, and reached the safe zone of the platform.

When she landed on her front foot, Wen Dong climbed over the fence with her back foot as fast as she could, and rushed to Ji Lin.

His head was blank, his face and lips were bloodless, and there was only one instinctive thought, which was to hold Ji Lin.

You must hold Ji Lin!

Wen Dong held Ji Lin's wrists with both hands, exerting all his strength, his entire forearm was stretched to the limit.

"Ji Lin," Wen Dong thought he was calm, but when he said it, he realized that his voice was trembling, "Ji Lin, don't worry...you try hard...I won't let go, I Definitely won't let go."

Mingming's voice trembled badly, but his tone was extremely firm.

But in fact, both Wen Dong and Ji Lin knew it well——

Before Ji Lin was able to pull Lu Mengting up, it was because of Ji Lin's strength that he could completely crush Lu Mengting.

But now, it's completely reversed. Wen Dong's power is naturally far inferior to Ji Lin's.

If this is a big platform, Ji Lin might be able to use his excellent arm strength to pull up and come up by himself.

But now there is only a narrow passage. If he does pull-ups, he may face the risk of falling down from the other end.

Got into a dead end.

Wen Dong can clearly feel that his strength is losing, and if this continues, he is likely to be pulled down by Ji Lin!

"Wen Dong."

Ji Lin suddenly opened his mouth, and at this moment, Wen Dong realized that there was no trace of panic or panic on Ji Lin's face, and even the curvature of his lips did not change at all!

It was as if at this moment, the person hanging in the air and facing the danger of falling at any time was not him at all.

"Wen Dong," Ji Lin's tone was still gentle and as usual, but because of the effort, it sounded a little tense, and there was some clear indifference, "Wen Dong, let go, it's okay, listen to me, don't stop Do useless work, let me go, okay?"

Wen Dong's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, his bloodless thin lips moved slightly, but he couldn't make a sound at all, he could only shake his head.

Ji Lin seemed to sigh softly, and then he suddenly made a movement that was completely unexpected by Wen Dong.

Ji Lin suddenly let go of one hand, put it on the other wrist, and with a gentle but completely irresistible force, broke Wen Dong's fingers apart one by one.

After that, this hand also left the edge of the corridor!

He was completely suspended in the air, only one wrist was still being held by Wen Dong.

But the force of the fall was too strong, even though Wen Dong tried his best, Ji Lin's wrist was also quickly detached from his hand.

A second before his hands were completely empty, Wen Dong suddenly made a shocking move——

With the last bit of strength in his body, he wrapped his arms around Ji Lin's arms.

After that, he jumped down with Ji Lin!

While the eardrums vibrated strongly, after hearing about Dong, I realized that this was the seventh floor.

He doesn't know if Ji Lin is crazy or not, but he is definitely crazy.

The author says:

I'm going crazy too! 【Old mother shaking】
