Xu Man smoked cigarettes one by one, recalling the story seven years ago, Xu Man's eyes sparkled, completely different from the previous appearance. There was color in her dim eyes again, as if she had returned to the past, as if she had returned to her youth. There are two kinds of people in this world. When they are faced with a bunch of grapes, one kind will eat the bitter ones first, and the other kind will eat the sweet ones first.
There is nothing wrong with these two kinds of people, but one kind of people has hope forever, and the other kind of people only have memories left. And Xu Man is obviously the latter kind of person. After Xu Man's 20 years old, there is nothing else in her life, only memories are left. She only smiles when she recalls these things Come.
I continued to ask: "Then what is the relationship between Jiang Xiaochun and Lu Zhiqiu?"
Xu Man looked at me, and said after a long time: "The relationship between the two of them is good. Both of them are in the same profession. Although they are not in the same class, they are the kind of best girlfriends. Jiang Xiaochun's family His family background is quite good, and he sometimes helps Lu Zhiqiu, but Lu Zhiqiu never accepts it."
"When I found out that Lu Zhiqiu had a boyfriend, Jiang Xiaochun was sad for a long time." Xu Man said again: "Jiang Xiaochun at that time, I didn't know she was a lesbian. But I can already vaguely feel that, Jiang Xiaochun seems to like Lu Zhiqiu. Because I saw Jiang Xiaochun crying outside alone that day, after I found out that Lu Zhiqiu had a boyfriend."
I patted the coffee table gently, and said slowly: "You mean, Jiang Xiaochun likes Lu Zhiqiu just because Lu Zhiqiu already has a boyfriend, so he can only stay by Lu Zhiqiu's side in this way?"
Xu Man nodded and said, "I accidentally saw Jiang Xiaochun's diary once. In the diary, I saw Jiang Xiaochun expressing her love for Lu Zhiqiu. But she dared not tell Lu Zhiqiu."
Xu Man said again: "Besides, Lu Zhiqiu didn't show any behavior of liking the same sex, so Jiang Xiaochun could only accompany Lu Zhiqiu, waiting for her silently. Jiang Xiaochun wrote this in her diary, she said that accompanying her It is the longest confession of love, from now on she will silently accompany Lu Zhiqiu."
"Does anyone know about this?" I asked.
Xu Man shook his head and said: "No, unless Jiang Xiaochun told others, I should be the only one who knows about this matter. I was still a serious student at the time, I couldn't think of such people and things in this world, and I was a little scared .So I didn’t tell anyone, and I still make good friends with them.”
"But who would have thought of it." Xu Man said: "I want to win Hu Pei from the school belle Lu Zhiqiu, Deng Xuemei wants to get close to Lu Zhiqiu, a silly and sweet person, to reimburse daily expenses, and Jiang Xiaochun is I silently like this best friend who keeps talking. Things in this world are so confusing and bizarre. Who doesn't have a little bit of tricks in their hearts, and doesn't have a little bit of pettiness?"
Jiang Xiaochun has always been silently in love with Lu Zhiqiu, and during the four years of college, Jiang Xiaochun may have suppressed his desire to confess his love to Lu Zhiqiu more than once. Because Jiang Xiaochun understands that everyone still has zero tolerance for this matter, and everyone will still look at him with the most strange eyes.
All the depression was contained in Jiang Xiaochun's heart alone, and at this time he was about to graduate. Graduation means that Jiang Xiaochun has no reason to stay by Lu Zhiqiu's side anymore, and can no longer squeeze into the same bed with Lu Zhiqiu openly. After all, Lu Zhiqiu was going to marry, and Lu Zhiqiu was going to have children.
In the end, Jiang Xiaochun probably only hoped that he could be in the same company as Lu Zhiqiu, and that it would be nice if he could meet at work.
That night, Jiang Xiaochun must have drunk a lot of wine, and he didn't notice at all that his favorite woman, Lu Zhiqiu, had already left the reception and was invited out by everyone. And on this night, Jiang Xiaochun got drunk. That night, Lu Zhiqiu died.
Jiang Xiaochun didn't know about this until the next day, and maybe at this time, Jiang Xiaochun had already planned for the future.
"I'll ask you again, what do you mean, Jiang Xiaochun himself didn't know that someone knew her secret?" I looked at Xu Man.
My question was a bit confusing, Xu Man thought for a moment and replied: "No, Jiang Xiaochun probably doesn't know that I already know her secret, I haven't told anyone about it."
I continued: "Does Jiang Xiaochun know that Hu Pei's child is yours? After you gave birth to the child seven years ago, you have never contacted anyone else? I mean those classmates before you."
Xu Man pointed to herself and said, "Who do you think I can go to with my appearance? Do you think I have the face to contact them in this appearance? Since I was pregnant seven years ago, I have never contacted these people again." Yes. They would call at first, but I would never hang up, and then no one would contact me."
After a pause, Xu Man continued: "Later, the child was also given to Hu Pei. At that time, we completely lost contact. I changed my name, identity, and address. Dongxing City is so big that we haven't been in touch for seven years. I've never met him before. Hu Pei probably didn't say who the child is, and Jiang Xiaochun probably wouldn't ask. I don't know why Jiang Xiaochun and Hu Pei got married. In fact, if it was Lu Zhiqiu, with her personality, she probably wouldn't be right. How is my child?"
It can be seen that Xu Man didn't know that Lu Zhiqiu actually died that night, and Xu Man cut off all relationships with everyone seven years ago, maybe seven years later, it was precisely because of this that Xu Man was saved . Otherwise, Xu Man must be on the murderer's killing list.
And now I know who the murderer is.
All the puzzles are solved.
This woman is really amazing, she used the simplest but also the most ingenious way to confuse us, and used various techniques in psychology to make us lost in it. If I hadn't carefully checked every detail, I'm afraid Has been deceived by her. But since we faced this murderer before, the murderer has already started to play every step of the way, performing a moving trick for everyone.
But even after doing all this, there is still no escape after all. No matter how hidden it is, no matter how many layers of lies wrapped around the truth, the truth is always there, waiting to be discovered.
However, I have found the current murderer, but it is difficult to know who killed Lu Zhiqiu back then. So many people have gaps with Lu Zhiqiu, so many people have met Lu Zhiqiu before. Too much time has passed, and we now have too few clues. And maybe whoever killed Lu Zhiqiu will be sealed forever in this box called Past Events.
Looking at Xu Man, I finally understood what it means to know less and be safer. If Xu Man knew a little more deeply, he might already be dead. And we will never know the truth of this matter, we will never be able to solve this mystery,
I said, "Thank you then."
Seeing me standing up, Xu Man also stood up and said, "Thank me? There is nothing to thank, it's just a casual talk. If there is nothing else, I'll leave first."
We followed Xu Man out of the house, and there were still people coming and going outside, and the sound of roaring and venting resounded in the KTV aisle. The confusing lights come and go, hitting everyone's faces.
Walking in it, I felt a little confused in this environment. No wonder Xu Man said that he couldn't leave when he came in. Whether he couldn't leave or didn't want to leave at all, this is a question.
Walking out of the KTV, a cool breeze blows from the street, and there are people dancing in the square beside it, which is a very interesting dance. The dancers are dressed in black clothes with a human skull pattern painted on it, which glows at night. The black clothes blended with the night. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a skeleton dancing. Such a strange dance attracted many people around.
Looking at the group of people, I grinned.
I said to Zhao Mingkun: "Take a rest today, and tomorrow we will go somewhere. I think she is very confident that her plan is safe, so she won't leave at all. And tomorrow is when the fun begins."
Zhao Mingkun looked at me, a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"
I said, "I mean, I already know who the murderer of so many people is."
"Not Deng Xuemei?" Zhao Mingkun asked suspiciously.
I shook my head: "Deng Xuemei is just a scapegoat who has been thrown out, and she is not alive or dead, so there is no proof of death. The murderer gave us all the evidence pointing to Deng Xuemei, and gave us an ironclad evidence to close the case. But the murderer is still Missed a bit."
"What?" Zhao Mingkun asked.
"People are selfish..."
