After Gu Liang finished speaking, he glanced at the instructions on the medicine bottle again, and looked at Li Xiaoyu: "According to the instructions, if you take it continuously for 30 days, the organs will have a poisoning reaction and cause irreversible damage. died a few months later. Are you sure you were poisoned last July, and that she drank the medicine every day?"
Li Xiaoyu nodded affirmatively: "Sure. Every morning after I poisoned her, I watched her drink the water for 30 days in a row, every day. Did I just stop talking, during that time you were on summer vacation and accompanied her every day I was the only one watching her. There were four of us in the dormitory, and the other two were not there. Every day I watched her drink the poisonous water, go to the cafeteria to have breakfast together, and then go to the library to review."
Li Xiaoyu added: "And I'm sure, she was indeed poisoned."
"In your script, she died of illness. In fact, at the beginning of August last year, she felt unwell. I accompanied her to the hospital. The doctor issued a medical certificate, saying that she could only live for 3 months at most. The medical certificate is It was upstairs in my suitcase, and I didn't get it."
"On the first day here, I opened the suitcase and saw the medicine bottle and the medical certificate, but I thought, this is to show my story, it has nothing to do with the deceased in this case, so I didn't hide these evidence."
Gu Liang asked: "How is the medical certificate written?"
Li Xiaoyu thought for a while, and said: "Probably, it means that her internal organs have premature exhaustion symptoms, which are supposed to be experienced by people in their 80s and 90s, but they appeared in her body, and they can live up to 3 months. But the doctor didn't agree. Knowing the reason, there is no cure, and I suggest that she prepare for her funeral in advance."
Gu Liang couldn't help frowning: "But why didn't I know about this? I didn't know that she went to the hospital last August."
Li Xiaoyu said: "It was summer vacation at that time, you were still at home, you came to school in September, and then you went to practice. Then, she told me at the time that you loved her very much, and she didn't want you to know this That's why she never told you."
Aini didn't know that her roommate had poisoned her, so she only thought she had a strange disease.
But she didn't want Senior Hua to be sad, and never told Senior Hua about it.
Gu Liang thought of this, and his expression became more serious: "If you are sure that she was poisoned, she must have died around November last year. So... how did Aini appear in front of us from November to May last year?" thing?"
Li Xiaoyu said: "This is the reason why you asked me when I injected the poison just now, and I said you got the key reason. When I read the script, I found this very strange. But I couldn't say it before. According to my personality, I can't talk about my poisoning."
Gu Liangxin said, it's no wonder that after the script was first obtained, there was a detailed "chronology" of things, the details went to a certain year, month or even a certain day, what did he do with his ex-girlfriend.
These details are of great help to speculate on the characters and restore the plot.
Gu Liangdao: "I heard the news at the funeral a month ago. At the funeral, someone casually said that Ai Ni came to the Huangquan Inn 'more than half a year ago'. Now it is June, and the funeral is May. The scope of half a year is very wide, but at least the time covered by 'one year ago' can be excluded, so let's count from June last year."
"In June last year, Ai Ni and I spent time in the library preparing for the final exam; during the summer vacation in July and August, I went home, and she stayed with you to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. Did she leave halfway?"
Li Xiaoyu shook her head.
Gu Liang continued: "Then, I went back to school in September and started an internship, but I didn't notice anything unusual about her. I felt that she seemed to be thinner and haggard. I thought she was tired from studying for the postgraduate entrance examination."
"October... I have been on a business trip with the project, especially in mid-October, that time is the busiest, I haven't met her a few times, and I have sent few messages. When I came back from a business trip in November, we started to quarrel. Questions It should be in mid-October, during my business trip."
Li Xiaoyu added: "In mid-October, she asked for leave for a period of time. I thought she went home to die. I didn't expect her to come back later. I was very guilty, afraid that she would know that I poisoned her."
Gu Liang felt that he could draw a conclusion, and said: "Then, it is estimated that she came to Huangquan Inn in mid-October last year."
Gu Liang opened the notebook, turned to a blank page, and sorted out the timeline of his ex-girlfriend Aini.
Beginning in early July last year, she took poison for a month, causing her internal organs to fail.
She went to the doctor in August last year and knew she would not live for 3 months.
In mid-October last year, she went to the Huangquan Inn and came back with a tattoo on her body; in addition, she was supposed to die during this period, but she was alive and well, but her temperament changed a lot. Senior Hua, who came back from a business trip in November, saw her Later, she became fond of composing, quarrelsome and quarrelsome, and became unwilling to share the bed with Senior Hua.
In March of this year, Ai Ni and Senior Hua broke up.
In May of this year, Senior Hua heard that Ai Ni had died of illness and attended her funeral.
After reading Gu Liang's record, Li Xiaoyu asked, "Second brother, what's in your head?"
Gu Liang was a little puzzled: "Second brother?"
Li Xiaoyu smiled: "I just met Yang Ye upstairs, and I joked that I will call him the eldest brother and your second brother. Or should I call you sister-in-law?"
"Don't yell. If you want to yell, call him second brother."
This is Yang Ye's voice.
Gu Liang turned his head and waved to Yang Ye.
When Yang Ye came over, Gu Liang told him about Li Xiaoyu's poisoning.
Then Gu Liang said: "Speaking seriously. In this way, I think there are three possibilities."
"First, Ai Ni may have made some kind of deal with Boss Bell after she arrived at the Huangquan Inn, so she continued her life for a few more months. The medium of her life extension may be the tattoo on her waist."
"Secondly, Ai Ni died and turned into a ghost from mid-October to early November. Later, she may have also smoked rhino horn incense, so she appeared by my side from November last year to May this year, Ai Ni next to her classmates is a ghost. This can also explain why she doesn't do anything with me, she is afraid of sucking my yang energy and so on."
"The third possibility is that Ai Ni still died between mid-October and early November. The one who appeared next to me was played by Boss Ling. I just met Chef Huang and talked to him again. He mentioned However, Boss Bell is often not at the inn, so I don’t know where she has gone. It is possible that she is going to play the person around us.”
Yang Ye thought for a while, and said: "What happened to Aini should be similar to my ex-wife. But I am a little inclined to the third possibility. Because your ex-girlfriend and my ex-wife have changed their temperament drastically. If It is the first two possibilities, continuation of life, or the appearance of their own souls, logically, they will treat us as before. But the reality is not like this, then it is very likely to change people."
Li Xiaoyu added: "Let me tell you another thing, you can refer to it. Ai Ni is very good at studying. When we were reviewing together, she got up early and worked late at night, and was very serious. She said that senior Hua found a good internship company, and she can stay there after graduation. Come down and get a high salary. She has to work hard in her studies, and she doesn't want to appear unworthy of Senior Hua."
"At the beginning of August, even though she knew she would not live for three months, she was still studying hard. But in mid-October, after she came back from leave, she changed. Her grammar is very good, but when I asked her questions later, she couldn't Can't answer."
Hearing this, Yang Ye asked Gu Liang, "Did you see the dead body when you attended Aini's funeral in May?"
"No, the ashes are buried." Gu Liang said.
Yang Yedao: "When I was notified to attend the funeral of my ex-wife, I only saw the urn. It is possible that they died long ago, and the bodies had already been cremated. It is difficult to preserve the corpse for several months. But if it is ashes, it will take several months After taking it out, it’s not so suspicious.”
Holding the pen, Gu Liang ticked the "Third Possibility" written on the paper. "Then, combined with the change of temperament, the ashes, and Chef Huang's statement that Boss Ling is often not at the inn to visit, we are now more inclined to the third possibility."
"This means—boss Ling may change his face?"
"Her body may not have changed much, at least the tattoo is there. The tattoo we saw was not tattooed on her ex-girlfriend or ex-wife. What we saw was her and her own tattoo."
Yang Ye: "Yes, I think so. Although when she played your ex-girlfriend, or my ex-wife, she had a lot of conflicts with us, and she even didn't want to share the same bed, but she played our lover after all. For many months, kissing and hugging were indispensable. Therefore, when we met her here, there was a sense of familiarity and a feeling similar to love at first sight."
Gu Liang raised his eyebrows, thought of something interesting, and said to Yang Ye: "Then we are actually rivals in love this time."
Yang Ye smiled: "What kind of enemy is love, you are obviously my lover."
Gu Liang turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyu, who was smiling at his aunt beside him.
Gu Liang: "Xiaoyu—"
Li Xiaoyu: "(〃'▽'〃)"
Gu Liang said seriously: "Li Xiaoyu, I have another question for you."
"Cough—" Li Xiaoyu said seriously, "What's the matter?"
Gu Liangdao: "Chef Huang said that he set off from the restaurant at 1:50 p.m. and came to the stilted building where we are. He looked for Boss Ling in the lobby and wine cellar, and found that she was not there, so he went up to the third floor to look for her. I It is estimated that when he reached the third floor, it would be around 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
"He first saw Jia's girlfriend go to Wang's lonely room, and then saw you coming out of the door."
"He didn't want to meet you head-on, so he went downstairs and went back to his room."
"On the way back to the room, he took a look at the back of the stilted building, and then returned to his room. During this period, according to his meaning, he should not have seen anyone in the courtyard or at the fence behind the building, which means —”
Gu Liang looked at Li Xiaoyu, "After you came out of 301 where you lived, you didn't leave this building on stilts, did you? Then whose room did you go to and what did you do?"
"I...cough...then let me be honest."
Li Xiaoyu said, "At 1:30 noon, I asked the proprietress to help me find some change. She knew that her change was hidden on the bottom floor of the counter, and she had to bend down when she got the money. She was stabbed in the back. Therefore, I stabbed the wound on the back of the corpse you saw. After the stabbing, I heard movement in the courtyard outside the lobby, so I pulled out the knife, threw it in the lobby, and ran away. They've just found the knife."
"Anyway, this happened in a public area. I just thought that anyone might kill her in the lobby, so I did that."
"The tramp often harassed her, and I kind of wanted to blame it on the tramp. It was the movement in the yard that disrupted my plan."
"I went back to the 301 where I live and stayed for about half an hour, which is the time you just said at 2 o'clock, when Chef Huang met me and walked out of the room. I wanted to go to the lobby on the second floor to see if Boss Ling was dead. Death or something. Then she disappeared."
"Then I went back to the third floor and went to Boss Ling's room. The door of her room was always ajar, even this afternoon. So I went in directly. But there was no one in her room. After all, I The knife was thrown, and I was in a panic, so I went back to my room."
After listening to Li Xiaoyu's words, Gu Liang summarized the timeline of this afternoon on paper.
At 12:00 noon, everyone had dinner together, during which Boss Ling and Tourist Jia were not there.
Tourist Jia was probably still under the cliff at that time. As for Boss Ling, although Gu Liang didn't see anyone, he heard her voice.
At 12:30, everyone left the restaurant after dinner, and went to the place where Senior Hua went fishing.
At 1:00 p.m., Chef Huang found Boss Ling in the lobby on the second floor of the inn, and told her that he suspected that there was something wrong with Senior Hua, and asked her to search around in Senior Hua's room.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhao Meili came to the lobby and stabbed Boss Ling. She heard movement in the yard and was afraid that someone would enter the lobby, so she hurried back to 301 before confirming that Boss Bell was dead.
From 1:50 to 2:00 p.m., Chef Huang came to the lobby again to check whether Boss Ling had gone to Senior Hua's room. He found that Boss Ling was not in the lobby, so he went to the third floor and saw Jia's girlfriend going to Wang's lonely room; then Zhao Meili went out.
Chef Huang didn't want to meet Zhao Meili head-on, so he went downstairs and left. When he returned to the next building, he heard a sound from the fence.
At this time, it was Zhao Meili who came to the lobby on the second floor after Chef Huang.
She came to see if Boss Bell had been stabbed to death by her. After she found out that Boss Bell was not there, she went back to the third floor and went to Boss Bell's room first. After finding that there was no one in there, she went back to 301 where she lived.
Yang Ye looked at the timeline and said, "It's a little strange. When Zhao Meihao killed someone at 1:30 in the afternoon, who was it that heard the movement in the yard?"
"There are two possibilities."
Gu Liangdao, "First, Liang was cleaning the courtyard between 1:30 and 2. She then went out from the fence. Second, there were other people in the courtyard at that time."
Gu Liang wrote a name on the blank space of the paper - "Wang Guyou".
"Chef Huang said earlier that he heard movement at the fence. I automatically ruled out the three girls Wang Guhui, Jia Girlfriend and Zhao Meili, because in Chef Huang's timeline, the three of them did not come out in the stilted building. But I found that I have a misunderstanding."
"Actually, Chef Huang only saw Girlfriend Jia and Pretty Zhao. He only saw Girlfriend Jia going to Wang Guyao's room. But he didn't see Wang Guyao himself. Therefore, he had doubts about where Wang Guyao was at that time." .”
Gu Liang closed the notebook, stood up and looked at Yang Ye and Li Xiaoyu. "In short, it's still very rewarding. When the time comes, let's focus on everyone's timeline. When we ask other people's timelines later, let's not say more about what we already know, and let them describe it themselves."
Yang Yedao: "The timeline is simply read. Let's go back to the story. I want to remind you of one thing. Actually, I thought about it before, whether Boss Ling killed Senior Hua's ex-girlfriend and my ex-wife, and he was a For a certain purpose, we approached you and me separately. But now we have sorted out and found that this is not the case."
"Ai Ni was poisoned first. After seeing a doctor, the doctor issued a medical certificate saying that she would not live for three months, so she went to the Huangquan Inn. After she came back, she was a different person."
Speaking of this, Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang: "This is Zhao Meili's story. Together with your story, Ai Ni's story is restored. On my side, President Gao, there is no character like Zhao Meili to complete it." Therefore, I cannot know exactly when my ex-wife became ill. I only found out that she died of illness after she died, and according to her relatives and friends, it was cancer.”
Gu Liang understood Yang Ye's meaning: "That is to say, your ex-wife's situation may be similar to that of Ai Ni. She found out that she was terminally ill, but she didn't tell you. Instead, she went to the Huangquan Inn by herself, and then she became a different person. "
Yang Ye nodded: "Yes. We are very affectionate. So it is reasonable for her not to tell me when she is sick."
"Furthermore, after Boss Ling approached us, she broke up with you as Ai Ni and divorced me as my wife. Apart from that, our life and career had no other impact. You didn't get sick, did you?"
Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang, and said again: "You and 'Ai Ni' just broke up in March, so you may not be able to see it. But I have been divorced for a year. I don't see Boss Ling hurting me."
Gu Liang stretched out his hand and pressed the back of his neck, looked up at the sky.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
A full moon in the sky casts a bright light all over the place.
The moonlight shrouded the inn, making it look more mysterious.
Gu Liang looked up at the moonlight, while Yang Ye next to him was looking at him.
After a while, Gu Liang turned his head, met Yang Ye's gaze, and said, "So, they were sick first, and then they came to the Huangquan Inn, and then they all died, but before they died, they found a girl to act as them, Break up and divorce us."
"Yes. So I've got some sort of guess."
Yang Ye took Gu Liang's hand and nodded to Li Xiaoyu by the way. "I found a very interesting thing in the lobby, just take a look and see."
Seeing the two walking towards the lobby hand in hand, although Gu Liang's expression was a little awkward at first, he finally accepted it. Li Xiaoyu was very relieved to see it.
In this game, she has had many dark experiences and seen the horror of human nature.
But she thinks she got the real CP.
If she's in hell, her CP is like giving her a fairytale. Looking at them, she felt very beautiful, as if she also saw hope.
However, the consequence of staring intently at the CP is that she doesn't look at the road, so she trips.
There is a path paved with cobblestones in the courtyard, all the way from the gate of the courtyard to the bottom of the stilted building where the guests live.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu tripped over a stone on this road.
Gu Liang and Yang Ye hurriedly turned around to help her up, and helped her back to sit on the bench.
Turning around and going to the lobby to get the medical kit, Gu Liang looked at the blood on her leg and shook his head. "Tsk, one and two are all lame."
Li Xiaoyu pointed at Yang Ye with a smile: "Brother leads the way."
When Gu Liang disinfected Li Xiaoyu's wound, Yang Ye jumped on one leg to the place where Li Xiaoyu fell just now, squatted down and turned over. It seemed that the street lights were not bright enough, so Yang Ye took out the flashlight. "The soil under these stones shows some signs of renovation. Xiaoyu didn't fall in vain. It is estimated that someone turned over these stones and hid evidence."
Hearing this, Gu Liang quickly helped Li Xiaoyu deal with it, and went forward to move the pebbles away one by one with Yang Ye.
Not long after, they found a piece of brown paper.
A spell was drawn on the paper, with the words "Incense Charm" written on it.
There is also a text explanation under the spell: "Burning the rhino horn can illuminate the ghost and make the ghost appear; but if the ghost uses the incense talisman, it can avoid the power of the rhino horn and don't have to appear in front of the world."
Gu Liang and Yang Ye looked at each other. "So, it's not the only one who went to the other side of the lake."
Li Xiaoyu didn't fall too hard, took a short rest, and went to the lobby with Gu Liang and Yang Ye, ready to check the "interesting" things Yang Ye found.
During this period, Li Xiaoyu finally learned from Gu Liang that Boss Ling, Service Liang, and Chef Huang are all ghosts.
"No wonder I didn't kill her with the knife."
Li Xiaoyu said, "Ordinary knives can't kill ghosts. You need peach wood, dog blood, etc. They found a clue upstairs before, saying that peach wood can kill ghosts. It's not just a piece of peach wood that can kill ghosts. For a powerful ghost, it is best to have a peach tree that is more than a thousand years old."
Gu Liang thought about it. "The wood we brought back from the other side of the lake, judging by the annual rings, is indeed an old tree. Therefore, under the setting of this script, it should be reasonable to use peach wood as a bullet to kill ghosts. Yang Ye, brother—you said What is that thing?"
Gu Liang also thought it was fun, and followed Li Xiaoyu and called out "Big Brother".
Unexpectedly, Yang Ye came to the top, interlocked his fingers, and whispered in his ear: "Call 'Brother' and listen."
"Solve the case. Hurry up." Gu Liang's ears were a little hot, but his expression was very serious.
"Okay, solve the case." Yang Ye bowed and opened a cabinet.
Li Xiaoyu said: "Ah, this is the cabinet where she hid the change. I stabbed her today when she was bending over to get the change."
Yang Ye took out the change and knocked on the cabinet. "You hear me, Hollow."
After finishing speaking, Yang Ye pulled out the upper layer of wood, and took out a thick notebook placed in the interlayer.
Opening the title page, it reads: "He said that as long as he helps people realize one hundred and one wishes, I can realize my wish. I have been waiting... for the day when my wish will come true."
Yang Ye directly turned to the last page of the book, and there was a photo of Senior Hua on it.
Next to the photo, there is a detailed file of Senior Hua, not to mention height and age, but what surprised Gu Liang the most is the detailed records.
"He doesn't like to eat coriander and carrots. For cooking, pork belly is fine, but fat meat is absolutely not."
"He doesn't really like foreplay, but if you talk to him well, he will patiently please you."
"His preferred position is after—"
Gu Liang didn't look any further, he just raised his eyes and met Yang Ye's bright eyes.
Gu Liang felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and turned his head away. "Boss Ling shouldn't know such details."
"Yes, such details can only be told by Ai Ni."
"It is precisely because Aini has told her everything in detail, that she can act like it."
Yang Ye's voice sank, "Based on our previous speculations, I think it was Ai Ni who asked Boss Ling to go to your side and pretend to be her after she knew she was sick. The situation on my side is almost similar."
Gu Liang: "But why? Why does Aini find someone to come over and quarrel with me every day? If she is going to die, she is afraid that I will be sad, and she wants to find someone to accompany me for a while, I can understand. But why did she let Ling The boss and I are so unhappy? In this way, I don't seem to be so hard to accept her death. Because every time I think of the time before we broke up, I am very unhappy. "
Li Xiaoyu interrupted. "Second brother, the reason is what you said last."
Gu Liang didn't understand the girl's mind. "Um?"
Li Xiaoyu explained: "I understand. Ai Ni knew that she was terminally ill and was going to die. She was afraid that you would be sad. Not only did she not tell you about her illness, but she also found someone to pretend to be her, and made trouble with you every day, and finally broke up with you. When you break up and the two of you have no relationship, she will let you know that she is dead, so that you will not be so sad. This kind of plot is common in dog-blood dramas."
Li Xiaoyu turned to the title page of this thick book. "Isn't Boss Ling's book saying that she wants to help people realize their wishes? It's possible that this is what Ai Ni wished for Boss Bell. The story on President Gao's side is similar. But the thick paper... There must be many different wishes, and Boss Ling is helping people realize them."
