"After half a year, I finally overcame my inner fear and went to Deng Man's house to visit her parents. Her mother's mental state has improved. She no longer washes her face with tears all day, and even went back to work after taking leave. I helped her clean Deng Man's house. In Man's room, I accidentally found a cellophane-wrapped gift in the drawer. Through the packaging, I saw that there was a Parker pen. I have been interested in this pen for a long time, and Deng Man knows it. There is a blank card next to the pen. , I didn't write a word. I searched the room and couldn't find the receipt for this pen. I asked Deng Man's mother, and Deng Man's mother couldn't determine which day Deng Man bought this pen. "
"But since I saw this pen, I was like a drowning person who grabbed a life-saving straw. After getting the consent of Deng Man's mother, I took the pen home and tried to analyze: 1. This pen Deng Man bought it for others. 2. Deng Man bought this pen for me, but because of the subtle change in my relationship, Deng Man never gave it to me. 3. This pen was bought for me Mine, and she bought it after I broke her mind that day. The purpose is to rebuild our friendship, but before she sent it out, she encountered an accident. That is to say, her death may not be a simple suicide. , there are other possibilities. In order to get rid of a strong sense of guilt, and to find out the truth, I stubbornly believe in the third point."
"Then you will send this pen together with Deng Man's note to the Anshan Branch, and attach your analysis?"
He remembered the graceful handwriting on those letters. Although his tone was calm and mature, he could see between the lines the inherent inadequacy of the mind of the untrained.
She nodded: "After the letter was sent, I paid attention to the news of Deng Man's house every day. After a while, the police came to my door, and I had hope in my heart. Maybe the police can really find out anything suspicious, but it didn't take long for this matter to disappear. After that, I asked Deng Man's mother on the side, and then I learned that from the surveillance that night, Deng Man really committed suicide, and there is almost no possibility of homicide."
"Hope has been dashed, but I have already embarked on a road of no return. A few years after graduation, my classmates went their separate ways. The longer the time passed, the more difficult it would be to collect clues. I forced myself to recall the details before Deng Man's accident. Thinking and thinking, I finally remembered something. During the time when Deng Man was emotionally fluctuating, she seemed to have been to the music hall a few times, but there were so many activities in the music hall at that time, I couldn't find the choir head at first. However, I still sent some ambiguous evidence I collected to the police station, hoping to re-investigate the old case with the help of the police. But this time, due to the lack of convincing, there were no police officers who came to ask questions. "
Jiang Chengyi snorted coldly: "Waste police force, waste of time."
Seeing that his mood had improved, she glanced at him: "There is one more thing, I think it is very strange, at that time, the three of us often sat on the steps of the library eating snacks, and Deng Man would sometimes look up, his eyes were very strange. It's complicated, because I suspected she liked you at the time, and always thought she was watching the gym, but I read a crime book once and suddenly thought, why don't you change your mind, what if the person she liked at the time wasn't you? It's so contradictory, why does she keep causing me misunderstandings, and she doesn't deny it when I hint her face to face."
"Anyway, the seeds of doubt were planted like this. I went back to school, sat on the steps where she was sitting, and looked in that direction, only to find that the music hall and the gymnasium were adjacent to each other, reminding me of the choir at that time. Every time the rehearsal was at noon, I went to find the list of choirs at that time, and I remembered that the person who received me was Teacher Zhou, who helped me search for an afternoon, and finally told me that I couldn’t find it.”
Teacher Zhou.
He frowned: "How did you find out about Ding Jing's head?"
Lu Yan's complexion turned complicated: "Last year, Teacher Zhou found out that he had thyroid cancer and went to the hospital for surgery. When he woke up after the operation, he developed symptoms of delirium. During the recovery, I heard him muttering: Deng Man, go to Ding Jing, go to Ding Jing. But what he said was too vague, I'm not sure if what I heard was accurate."
Jiang Chengyi thought for a few seconds: "At that time, Liu Yujie had not been attacked. You can't know that Ding Jing anonymously founded the Winter Solstice website to collect the wishes of female classmates. Even if you heard this, why did you make up your mind to check Ding Jing?"
"After graduating, I haven't seen Ding Jing at all. I only know that she is very active after returning to China, and she always talks in groups. Last year, I was shopping with Tang Jie and met Ding Jing's good friend Liu Yujie in a cafe. , she was talking to another classmate in class 3 at the time, and because the light was very dark, she didn't see Tang Jie and me. Later, when I listened to them chatting, the girl mentioned that Ding Jing went abroad and refused to come back even during the summer vacation. It's very strange that the family can't afford the airfare. Liu Yujie seemed to be very secretive about this matter and didn't answer, but the girl said, Ding Jing looked domineering, but she was actually very timid. I remember Deng from Class 6 at that time. When Man died, Ding Jing was more afraid than anyone else and didn't even dare to go out at night."
"This is the first time I heard such a statement. I remember that after Deng Man's accident, I was hospitalized in the hospital, and Tang Jie was also watching over me in the hospital. I didn't know anything about the school at that time. I remember Deng Man's note at that time. The person who wrote the hate was 'she'. If not referring to me, would it be referring to other people? Combined with what Teacher Zhou said last year, I suspect that Deng Man's death was related to Ding Jing, and Teacher Zhou's death was related to Ding Jing. Must be someone in the know."
After saying this, she turned to look at him and found that there was no surprise on his face: "Do you also doubt Teacher Zhou?"
He said angrily: "Didn't you just say what Mr. Zhou said was strange? I don't know what the hell Deng Man was doing, but she was clearly in love, but she didn't dare let people know, and the person she liked was not I, the possibility of teacher-student love is very high. And Liu Yujie revealed that Deng Man was among the people who made wishes on the website at that time. I suspect that Ding Jing knew the reason for Deng Man's teacher-student love, and used this to threaten her and make her deliberately do it. I like the way I look, and it will make you feel knotted, so as to destroy the relationship between us."
Even if there was another reason for Deng Man's death, but because of her, Lu Yan had carried a heavy burden for so many years, and he really couldn't have any good feelings for this person.
