Chapter 38: Poetry
I was lying on Ziqing's bed, looking out through the window into the increasingly dark night, and I heard the poems that Ziqing recited in the recitation competition in high school.In the sunny lecture hall, Ziqing stood straight on the rostrum holding a microphone. She looked at the dense crowd in the hall and read aloud.
"I want to protect this desolate love. 』
"Across the river of time. 』
"Stand at the end of the world. 』
"I am willing to protect you with my whole life. 』
"Guard your innocent innocence. 』
"Protect your bright smile. 』
"I. 』
"Don't say anything.Silent. 』
"No complaints.no regrets. 』
『I want to guard this ridiculous secret. 』
"Bearing the shackles of fate. 』
"Break the prison of taboo..."
I clearly feel that the police force in the school has doubled. Although I am not very clear about the actions of the police, I feel faintly uneasy in my heart.After class in the morning as usual, I went back to the dormitory with Su Xiaoran, only to see that the gate of the dormitory was surrounded by the police, and everyone entering and leaving was strictly checked.
"What's the situation?" Su Xiaoran raised her eyebrows, standing outside the crowd and looking around.
"I don't know." I murmured, my heart beating wildly.
"The police have negotiated with the school." When we were confused, Xia An passed by and said: "The school has allowed the police to intervene in the dormitory investigation, hoping to provide some clues for the school's vicious murder."
"The police suspect that the students at school did it?" I frowned and asked.
"This possibility is not ruled out." Xia An replied.
"What else do you know?" I asked again.
But Xia An shrugged, and then said with a smile: "If You Ning is by your side, you didn't ask me, but you asked me instead?"
Hearing Gu Youning's name, I froze for a moment.I feel like I haven't seen her for a long time, one is because the school is busy recently, and the other is because Ziqing...
As long as I'm with Gu Youning, I will unconsciously think of the night when Ziqing kissed me forcefully.A feeling of betrayal surged in my heart, and I couldn't even show a reassuring smile.
"Just ask, I'm afraid of you." I pretended to be relaxed and went back to Xia An, then took out my mobile phone from my pocket and called Gu Youning.
"Hello?" Gu Youning quickly picked up the phone, his tone sounded a little expectant: "Ziyan."
"At noon...shall we have dinner together?" I asked.
"Okay." Gu Youning agreed.
"Then... see you later."
"Yeah." Gu Youning replied, "The old place."
After hanging up the phone, I asked Su Xiaoran to help me take the books back to the dormitory, and went straight to the cafeteria.I sat at the table where I usually ate with Gu Youning, looking for her through the endless crowd.I saw her soon after, but Gu Yuanxi was still following her.
"Here." I waved at them, Gu Youning's sister-in-law saw me first, and then pulled Gu Youning over.
"What do you want to eat? I'll order it." Gu Youning asked Gu Yuanxi to sit down, and then asked my two opinions.
"I want rice and vegetables." I thought for a while and replied, "I'm not picky, I can eat anything."
"Sister-in-law, what about you?" Gu Youning asked.
"Just be the same as Ziyan." Gu Yuanxi replied.
"En." Gu Youning responded, and left in a hurry.
I watched Gu Youning's figure disappear into the crowd, and the words "destined but not bound" came to my mind.
I was startled into a cold sweat by these four words, and shook my head quickly.
"Is it hot?" Gu Yuanxi asked me.
I looked at her gentle expression and shook my head: "Maybe it's a little dry."
"That's right, things in school are more difficult recently." Gu Yuanxi lowered his eyes and said, "I can't leave yet."
"Sister-in-law, are you here to take care of Gu Youning?" I thought for a long time, and finally asked.
"That's sort of it." Gu Yuan Xi smiled: "But it's not all, it was Xiao Su who sent me to handle the school's case."
"Deal with...?" I opened my eyes wide, considering Gu Yuanxi's words.
"Yes." Gu Yuanxi said, "I am the person in charge of the criminal investigation team."
I looked at Gu Yuanxi with straight eyes. This weak and docile person in front of me turned out to be the person in charge of the criminal investigation team.
"Not like it?" Gu Youning had already returned by this time, and smiled at me: "Her marksmanship is very accurate, but she hits every shot."
I skipped the afternoon class and stayed in the cafeteria to chat with Gu Youning and Gu Yuanxi.From their mouths, I learned a lot of things that the school staff didn't know. Of course, I also knew that this information must be kept secret.
In just a few days, the police have actually conducted multiple investigations, including on-site inspections, physical evidence testing, autopsy, and various links.They could be sure that the murders of these dead were almost done by the same person, and that this person's killing methods became more and more sophisticated, and the cases were handled quickly. Almost all of them were instant kills, and the evidence was even more negligible.
"I've been thinking about what could prompt the criminal suspect to kill the opponent so powerfully, without even giving him a chance to fight back." Gu Yuanxi frowned, with a seriousness in his eyes that I had never seen before: "We It can almost be concluded that the suspect is unarmed. If he has to say... then his own... hands."
"Hand?" I was startled.If the hand can be turned into a murder weapon, then everyone has the potential to be a murderer. "If you use your hands... there should be fingerprints...or hair?"
"No. There are no fingerprints or hairs left, and it's pitch black even in the surveillance." Gu Yuanxi said, "But you can see from the wound on the corpse...his hand is like a knife..."
I looked at Gu Yuanxi silently, and heard her say in a low voice, "Because, all the hearts of the deceased were taken out."
I felt my heart go cold, falling into the bottom of a icy lake.
"Let me out." Fang Ziqing stood at the door of the dormitory, his pupils dimmed.
"You're looking for death." Xie Lin stood in front of Fang Ziqing and said in a low voice, "The police are blocking the door of the dormitory, checking one by one. What do you want to do when you go out now!"
"Surrender yourself." Fang Ziqing said, "If I don't turn myself in again, more people will die."
"I don't allow it." Xie Lin stepped forward and hugged Fang Ziqing, tremblingly said: "I don't allow you to go."
"Get out of the way." Fang Ziqing pulled Xie Rin away and was about to go out.
Xie Rin was staggered by her, and finally took a breath and said, "Okay, you surrender now. As soon as you go out of this door, I will go to Fang Ziyan. Shake all your things out! See what she does manage!"
Fang Ziqing's hand that was about to open the door stopped on the doorknob, and his whole body was still, not knowing what he was thinking.Taking advantage of this gap, Xie Lin hurried forward and whispered in her ear: "Ziqing, you should give me a chance. I will watch you and never let you kill again. If I still can't see you, You just turn yourself in, and I promise not to say a word. But you...you must give me this chance, and give yourself a chance too. Okay." Seeing that Fang Ziqing was unmoved, Xie Lin said anxiously: "Do you believe that?" me!"
Fang Ziqing stood still without saying a word.
Xie Lin was discouraged, and finally said reluctantly: "Just for Ziyan."
Gu Youning sent me all the way to the door of the dormitory, I looked at her eyebrows and eyes carefully, a little reluctant to look away.It seems that separation is right in front of my eyes, just one look, one less.
"What are you thinking, so sad." Gu Youning reached out and stroked my hair.
"How do you know I'm sad?" I looked into Gu Youning's eyes and asked curiously.
"You will write everything in your eyes." There was a faint smile on the corner of Gu Youning's lips: "Then tell me with your eyes."
"Not at all." I replied.
"Why are you so concerned about the school's vicious murder all of a sudden?" Gu Youning asked, which surprised me.
"I...I just want to know what you've been up to lately." I grabbed the hem of my clothes guiltily, not daring to look up at her.
Gu Youning stood in front of me, looking at me with raised eyebrows.
I tugged at the corner of my clothes for a while, then secretly raised my eyes to glance at her, and she caught me right away.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" Gu Youning asked.
"No!"
"Okay." Gu Youning responded, then leaned closer to me, and whispered in my ear: "Then...the last question."
"What?" I felt that she was too close to me, so I backed away, being forced all the way to the bottom of the wall by her.
"Miss me?" she asked.
I blushed and replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Gu Youning smiled lowly, she pinched my chin and raised my head, about to kiss me.
At this moment, Ziqing's soft lips flashed across my mind, and I subconsciously pushed Gu Youning away.Gu Youning was pushed back a few steps by me, and looked at me in surprise.
"Yes... I'm sorry!" I was so panicked by Gu Youning's gaze, I left Gu Youning alone in the dark night, and ran straight into the gate of the dormitory yard.
