did not meet tonight

The blood-stained stone was lifted high in Gu Mingwei's hands, Zhang Banxian was still conscious, and turned to look at Xiao Yu and the others calling for help.Ye Jian was worried that he would really do something irreversible, so he rushed over and threw him to the ground. Seeing that he was free again, Zhang Banxian got up and tried to escape again, Xiao Yu quickly stepped forward and restrained him.Gu Mingwei struggled and shouted: "Let go of me! I'm going to kill him! Kill him!"

"Do you think you killed him to avenge Qin Yuwei? Be sober, it will only make you a murderer like him!" Ye Jian pressed on him and said sharply, "For this heinous bastard, Is it worth paying for the rest of your life!"

"You won't understand." Gu Mingwei grabbed his arm, his eyes were red like weeping blood, "Everyone thinks that Yuwei is dead, they all gave up on her, but I can't give up, I always think she will come back , it was him who appeared by my side like before! It was this bastard who took Yuwei away! It was he who ruined everything about me!"

"Even if you kill him so what, will what has happened change? No, you won't get anything except to free him and send yourself to prison!" Ye Jian said, "Think about it Your parents, think about those children in school, do you want them to be ashamed of you, or do you want them to be proud of you? Qin Yuwei is dead, what you have to do now is to testify against the murderer and let him get the punishment he deserves. Don't choose this method of burning jade and stone together!"

Every word in these words pierced into Gu Mingwei's heart like a needle, his tense body slowly relaxed, and tears gushed out of his eyes.

"If I had agreed to accompany her to come here, maybe none of this would have happened. It was my fault that I didn't protect her well!" Gu Mingwei covered his face and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, Yuwei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He kept repeating the last three words, as if this was the only way to alleviate the guilt in his heart, Ye Jian sighed deeply, let him go, and whispered: "Qin Yuwei is inside, go, go and pick her up."

Gu Mingwei looked up at the dimly lit small room, stood up slowly, and walked over like a walking corpse, Zhang Banxian's face was still bleeding, seeing Gu Mingwei's movements, he shrank back in horror.Xiao Yu grabbed him and shouted sharply, "Be honest!"

The tranquility of the night will not be changed because of what happened here, the moonlight is still so soft, and the wind blowing past brings the coolness unique to summer nights. For some reason, Ye Jian suddenly remembered the night before high school graduation, when her roommate bought Drinking two dozen beers, they sat in the hallway and drank hotly.That night, the wind was so comfortable and the moonlight was so bright, Gu Mingwei held up the jar and said loudly that I will definitely create a world of my own in the future!

The rhetoric of youth is still in my ears, everything seems to be the same as before, but everything seems to be different again.

Ye Jian heard hoarse cries coming from the room, the pain and despair suppressed by the long years seemed to be vented at that moment, Ye Jian didn't go in, this was the reunion Gu Mingwei had been looking for for three years, even if it was Such a sad way, will also be the last time they meet

Zhang Banxian was taken away by director Tian and the others. When he got into the police car, his face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking into a ball. He needed the support of two policemen to stand still.The bones in the wall were finally taken out completely after dawn, and the medical staff put them into a body bag. Gu Mingwei followed the ambulance and left, surrounded by villagers who came after hearing the news. None of them could believe that Zhang Banxian would kill someone murderer.

As an important witness, Ye Jian was also asked to go to the police station to give a statement. Xiao Yu and Gao Zhishang helped Director Tian collect evidence. Zhu Qingping also came to the police station at this time and handed something to Director Tian.

It turned out that on the night when Zheng Anmin was killed, Zhu Qingping was going to find Wang Xinggui, the owner of Li Zilin, and wanted him to help him sell some of the mountain products in his hands for money.He had a disability in his leg and couldn't walk fast. He set off early, and when he passed by Li Zilin, he suddenly found Zheng Anmin hanged on a tree trunk.He was so frightened at the time, when he turned his head and was about to run, he saw Zheng Anmin holding a bead chain in his hand, it was bright and bright, and seemed to be worth a lot of money.At that time, his family was almost unable to open the pot. Seeing that there was no one around, he was fascinated for a while, so he brought the chain over.

He thought that this matter must be hidden, but he didn't expect that the police would come to the door the next day. He was afraid of causing trouble, so he refused to admit it.Later, when I sent Ma Meijing to Zhang Banxian's home for treatment, he suddenly remembered that the bead chain was exactly the same as the one Zhang Banxian wore on his wrist before. He thought about telling the police about it, but he was afraid of hurting himself. One, if he goes in, can the two of them still live?

Because of this selfishness, Zhu Qingping hid this important evidence. If Ma Meijing's accidental death hadn't happened, he would still pretend that nothing happened.

"For so many years, have you never discovered that Zhang Banxian's so-called cure is a lie?" Director Tian asked.

"I'm uneducated and don't understand anything. Every time I saw him shake a pocket watch in front of the crazy woman twice during the treatment, the crazy woman fell asleep quickly, but he drove me out, saying that the treatment was a waste of money. Heavenly secret, outsiders can’t see it.” Zhu Qingping’s face was thin, his expression was sluggish, and he seemed to have lost any hope in life. It's just nonsense, and in the end it turned into biting anyone she saw, I was afraid that she would hurt people in the village, so I locked her in the house every day except to go out for medical treatment."

No one has doubted such an obvious deceptive operation, or in other words, he pinned all his hopes on Zhang Banxian. This kind of trust mixed with longing far exceeds everything, making him willing to ignore doubts.

"Have you ever thought that if you took out this evidence earlier, Ma Meijing might not have died." Looking at his decadent face, Xiao Yu frowned with a trace of indifference, "Sometimes, your The one who is killed by a single thought is the person closest to him."

"It's too late, it's too late to say anything now," Zhu Qingping murmured, shaking his head.

Yes, it is too late, what happened cannot be changed, the dead will not come back, there is only one step between life and death, a seemingly insignificant thing, maybe another person lives Opportunity.

However, people are still selfish after all.

In the past two days, rumors of ghosts began to circulate in the village. Many people swore that they saw a female ghost near Zhang Banxian's fortune-telling hut. If you look at each other, your soul will be sucked away.The rumors spread more and more fiercely, and there were more and more versions. When Ye Jian occasionally went out, he could always see a few villagers gathered together to discuss mysteriously with their heads bowed. Zhang Banxian changed from a living god that everyone respected to them The murderous demon king who speaks all kinds of evil, he can even be blamed for the fact that many chickens in the village were sick and died some time ago.

Xiao Yu hasn't come back for the past few days, and has been staying in the police station to assist Director Tian in collecting evidence.The blood test of Zhang Banxian's blood sample proved that the blood found near the truck was his, and the N test results of the corpse also showed that the deceased was Qin Yuwei.

The light in the interrogation room was very bright. The light bulb was hanging from the ceiling, and it shone brightly on Zhang Banxian's face. He was wearing a dark blue prison uniform. His wound was wrapped in gauze, and he looked haggard, as if he had changed in just a few days.

Xiao Yu and Director Tian sat across from him. In the face of all kinds of evidence, Zhang Banxian was able to tell the whole story with almost no effort.

"I noticed that female reporter when she first arrived in the village. She is different from those women in the village. She has a good figure, fair skin, and such a pretty face. Which man is not attracted?" Zhang Banxian sat in handcuffs for interrogation. Sitting on the chair, her eyes were uneasy, "They planned to leave that day, but they were forced to stay for a drink. I saw that she was so drunk that her little face was flushed, like a freshly ripe apple. , I felt itchy in my heart, thinking how beautiful it would be if I could sleep with her."

Having said that, Zhang Banxian stretched out his tongue and licked his lips before continuing: "There were so many people at that time, I just thought about it in my heart. When her friend sent her upstairs, I planned to leave too. Unexpectedly, her friends came down again. At that time, people gathered in the open space in front of the village committee, and there was no one else in the dormitory upstairs. She was so heavy that she lay unconscious on the bed. I touched her a few times and untied her clothes. The pair of nipples were big and round, and they looked like two balls of cotton when squeezed.”

"Hey!" Director Tian knocked hard on the table twice to stop him from continuing, "This is a trial, let's pick the key points!"

There was no air conditioner in the interrogation room, so a ceiling fan was blowing on his head. Zhang Banxian was sweating all over his head. He didn’t know if it was cold or he was panicking. , I didn’t really think about what to do to her, but she woke up suddenly, and there were people all over the place. If she yelled, I wouldn’t suffer? In desperation, I covered her mouth and took out my pocket watch to hypnotize her.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Banxian changed the subject and explained: "I stayed in a circus when I was young, and learned this craft from a master. Later, the circus disbanded. I traveled all over the world for several years without making a name for myself. Going to Baliping to start this fortune-telling business is a mistake. Don’t tell me, the people in this mountain valley believe this, no matter what I say, they will take it as an imperial decree.”

There was a bit of pride in his expression, as if he was very proud of his experience of cheating and abducting, Xiao Yu said: "You also use this method to keep Ma Meijing in a hallucination?"

"They don't understand these things, they think I'm a living god descending from the earth, they believe everything I say, it can't be my fault." Zhang Banxian found an excuse for himself.

"Is it this watch?" Xiao Yu picked up the pocket watch on the table. It looked old, and most of the gold paint on the outside was gone, revealing the copper-colored case. The chain was slender and blackened, but the dial was still bright Clean, the pointer is walking slowly, making a very subtle ticking sound.

"That's right, it's this one. It was left to me by the master when the circus disbanded. It's been many years." Zhang Banxian said.

"Continue to talk." Xiao Yu motioned him.

"The girl drank alcohol and fell asleep again without any effort. Things have come to this point. I thought in my heart that I should just do nothing and get her directly. Anyway, people have already been hypnotized. Wait until the next day." When I wake up the next day, I definitely don’t remember it.” Zhang Banxian recalled what happened that day, “But it’s definitely not possible in the village committee. There are so many people in the village, so I gave her an order to get out of the village as soon as she heard the whistle. Come out through the back door. I led her into the woods on the back mountain. I really wanted to take advantage of her and didn’t want to kill her, but she woke up halfway.”
