Mingxi

Why did Cheng Qianque die, why Cui Xiaoxiao’s bracelet contained powder made from his bones, and Cui Xiaoxiao’s bizarre death, these are all questions, but they seem to have grasped the key clues, as long as they understand Cui Xiaoxiao The role of laughter in this matter, everything can be solved.

Jiang Zichen recalled the previous dream, and asked Mingxi, "When you mention ribs, what do you think of?"

"The Bible." Ming Xi didn't even need to think about it, and subconsciously appeared in his mind, "God created Adam. In order to keep him from being lonely, he took off one of his ribs while he was sleeping. He made a woman."

"That's right, I think so too." Jiang Zichen nodded in agreement, "But Cui Xiaoxiao is not a Christian, and no one around her believes in Christianity."

"Speaking of the Bible." Li Xue interjected, "When I checked my bed once, I found a copy next to Cui Xiaoxiao's pillow." At that time, girls I knew would borrow magazines or novels from each other to read, but , There was a period of severe crackdown, and many books were confiscated, only this Bible, because the school stipulates freedom of belief, it is not good to confiscate it together.However, in fact, Cui Xiaoxiao has no religious beliefs at all, she just used it to read the stories inside.

"Where is that Bible now, do you know?"

Li Xue thought for a while, "It should be in the library. She seems to have borrowed books from the library." Jiang Zichen hurriedly dragged Ming Xi to the library. The library is so big that there are several versions of the Bible. Ten books, but when they checked the borrowing records of the system, they found that Cui Xiaoxiao had never borrowed a Bible at all.Or, the Bible had been borrowed from another library, but that was unlikely, unless someone else had borrowed it first and then lent it to her personally.Or, she bought the Bible herself.

They had no choice but to search from the names of the people around her. There were not many people who borrowed books like the Bible, and they were limited to such a small number of people to search, but they found a familiar name - Qi Meng.

They found the book that Qi Meng had borrowed, and unexpectedly found that the book was wrapped in a cover, and the book was a bit scattered, as if it had fallen apart, and was rebound later, but it was not bound properly.Mingxi flipped through it quickly, then stood up the book again, looked at the spine, and found something unusual.

"There seems to be a card." Jiang Zichen also noticed that at the spine of the book, at first glance, it seemed to be a specially thickened cover, but in fact it was something else.He carefully removed the cover and pulled out a yellowed bookmark. The front of the bookmark was a profile photo of Cheng Qianque. string pattern.

"This is Hebrew, the earliest language in which the Bible was written," Mingxi pointed at the string of patterns with a slightly lower voice, "and these two words mean 'Adam'".

Qi Meng looked at the Bible and bookmarks in front of her, with a dazed and disbelieving expression, "What do you mean? Do you think I did something to Cheng Qianque?"

"No, don't get excited." Jiang Zichen pulled the thing back a little to prevent damage from being too excited. "We just want to know about this book and this bookmark."

Qi Meng stared at him, feeling that her expectations were a joke. She always thought they would find out the truth, but they actually suspected her.She was obviously the one who most hoped to find Cheng Qianque and hope that he was safe and sound.

"We believe in you, but we just want you to tell the truth," Mingxi flipped the bookmark over, revealing Cheng Qianque's photo on it. His expression was gentle, and the sun melted into a sweet caramel color under his eyes, making him Qi Meng subconsciously let go of her defenses.

"When I borrowed the book, I actually don't remember clearly," Qi Meng tried hard to recall, "We usually borrow books in our dormitory, and several people will take turns to read them and return them after reading. The bookmark is mine, and I secretly photographed it. Cheng Qianque made it by himself, but Li Shiya found out, had a big fight with me, and was thrown away by her. I don’t know why it was included in this book. What is this Hebrew? How do I understand it? I’m not Christian."

Her expression was too serious, and she couldn't see any flaws.But, as Mingxi said, they didn't really suspect her.Qi Meng was the first to help them. Her urgency and sadness were so obvious, much deeper than anyone else.This evidence seems to be very credible, but when you think about it carefully, it actually cannot stand scrutiny, because no one knows how many people this Bible has circulated in private.

At this time, Lu Qi's handwriting comparison also came out. The string of Adam in Hebrew and Cheng Qianque in Chinese were not written by the same person. He compared the handwriting of other people in the class and found that the most consistent was Pan Jieying. But the bad news is that since Cui Xiaoxiao's accidental death last time, Pan Jieying has been asking for leave and never went back to school.

Something flashed through Jiang Zichen's mind. He didn't have time to think about it. He dug out the family backgrounds of the few of them that Lu Qi had investigated before, and jumped straight to Pan Jieying's share. kiln factory.

Pan Jieying disappeared, not at home, not back to school. Her parents had already called the police, but there was no news.Things have come to this point, in fact, the cause and effect are almost clear.However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved urgently, and Xiao Bowen needs to explain it to them.

Jiang Zichen and Mingxi told him truthfully what they had inferred during this period, including the secret that he liked Cheng Qianque.

Xiao Bowen listened quietly, and after they finished speaking, he chuckled lightly, but his eye circles turned red, "So it is, so it is." After muttering a few words, his expression gradually became ferocious, and his hands vigorously He clenched his hands tightly and slammed them on the table, his entire back trembling with intense emotion, "Yes, that's right, I lied, Li Shiya is nothing, and she deserves to think about Qianque."

During his narration, they gradually understood that Li Shiya really wanted to take away Cheng Qianque's inhaler, but Xiao Bowen stopped it in time.Because he was afraid that she would do such a thing that would endanger Cheng Qianque again, he kept paying attention to her, but unexpectedly, it was rumored that he had a crush on Li Shiya.It just so happened that he deliberately acted as if he was pursuing him. In order to prevent Li Shiya from using their relationship to get close to Cheng Qianque, he also made up his mind to break with Cheng Qianque.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have done this." Xiao Bowen said regretfully.He was too impulsive and naive at the time. He could obviously report to the teacher, or tell Cheng Qianque to beware of Li Shiya, but he wishfully felt that he was Cheng Qianque's protector, and he made sacrifices on his own, as if I paid a lot without considering the needs of others.

After Cheng Qianque disappeared, he felt as if the world had collapsed in half. He didn't know what happened. He hadn't spoken to Cheng Qianque for a long time, so he restrained himself from looking at him. Every time I delete and rewrite, I can only look at his profile picture in a daze in the end.He knows that his feelings are not allowed, and the person he likes has always regarded him as his best friend, so he dare not, dare not destroy this friendship.Cheng Qianque should have graduated smoothly and been admitted to the best university, and then his life will be bright and smooth, he is so outstanding, it should be like this.Instead, because of the despicable behavior of some people, he will never see the light of day from now on, making his life come to an abrupt end at the moment when it is about to bloom.

It's not that Xiao Bowen didn't suspect Li Shiya, but he had no evidence. He was just a high school student, and no one cared about his words, so he could only lie dormant, observing Li Shiya every day, hoping to find the truth.The reason why he lied to Li Shiya was to take the inhaler when Cheng Qianque was missing, and also to aggravate her suspicion.

When asked if he knew Pan Jieying, he said, "I know Pan Jieying. She wrote me many love letters. After being rejected by me, she joined Li Shiya's small group. On my birthday last year, she even gave me a It's just a porcelain cup she made herself."

After Jiang Zichen expressed his intention to take a look at the porcelain cup, Xiao Bowen took them back home. After searching for a long time, with the help of Xiao Bowen's mother, he found the gift box that had accumulated dust for a long time. It has been disassembled, and it seems that it has been disassembled for a while and then never paid attention to.Jiang Zichen handed the porcelain cup to Mingxi, Mingxi stroked it delicately with his fingertips, and looked at the ordinary white porcelain cup with the help of the light. There was a bright red apple painted on the front of the porcelain cup, and there seemed to be a shadow at the bottom of the apple. Where there is a string of small familiar patterns.

Mingxi put down the cup, and slowly, as if conjecturing, said, "I think Pan Jieying may know that Xiao Bowen likes Cheng Qianque." "Because of this cup?" Jiang Zichen didn't understand where he got it.

"Why do you think she drew an apple on the cup? She even wrote words on the bottom." Ming Xi pointed to the string of characters and asked him back. "Apple is a forbidden fruit, something that cannot be touched." Jiang Zichen instantly understood, "Is this also in Hebrew?"

"Yes, it means 'Eve'." Pan Jieying gave Xiao Bowen the cup engraved with 'Eve', in fact expressing her willingness to dedicate herself, but unfortunately Xiao Bowen has no interest in her, even if Cheng Qianque died.

In this way, Pan Jieying's motivation became clear, and the last piece of the puzzle was finally found.

Li Shiya, Cui Xiaoxiao and Pan Jieying were all involved in Cheng Qianque's disappearance, or rather, the murderer.The presumed truth is that Pan Jieying likes Xiao Wenbo. After being rejected many times, she accidentally discovered the fact that Xiao Wenbo likes Cheng Qianque. Maybe it was out of her own selfishness, or maybe she couldn't bear the fact that the person she liked didn't respond , She put Qi Meng's discarded bookmark in the Bible, and deliberately led Cui Xiaoxiao to approach Cheng Qianque, such as instilling some ideas that you are a man and a woman, and you are born to be equal, to catalyze her obsession.She encouraged Li Shiya to steal Cheng Qianque's inhaler, which attracted Xiao Bowen's attention. When Cui Xiaoxiao decided to act, she asked Li Shiya to distract Xiao Bowen. When he has an asthma attack, they can easily take him away.

Perhaps Li Shiya just wanted to teach Cheng Qianque a lesson, she didn't care what happened next, and Pan Jieying didn't really want to do anything to Cheng Qianque.However, Cui Xiaoxiao, whose obsession has become deep and her thoughts gradually distorted, found inspiration in the Bible. She felt that she was Cheng Qianque's Eve, the bone of his bones and the flesh of his flesh. He took a rib of Cheng Qianque, ground it into powder and put it in his favorite bracelet, as if he really merged with the one he loved.

Cheng Qianque is dead, and his body needs to be disposed of. It happens that Pan Jieying's family has a kiln. They just need to secretly transport the body to the kiln. Under the high temperature and fire, everything will be burned to ashes and cease to exist. with their crimes.

After sending all the information and the final truth to the anonymous client, Jiang Zichen heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.Someone will help them find Pan Jieying's whereabouts, and her crimes will eventually be rewarded as they should.

They finally decided to return Cheng Qianque's ashes to Cheng Qianque's father and explained the truth to him.This man who is over half a century old, and the focus of his entire life is on his son, the man who has never done evil to others suddenly heard the bad news, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted to the ground.He took the urn with trembling hands. This was the only thing left by his child in this world. His so sensible and excellent son, who would be so proud every time he mentioned it to others, was actually in school. The classmates who lived together day and night murdered him, not even leaving his body, and they dug out his ribs in such a frenzied way to make a string of bracelets.How could such a thing happen? They are half-grown children, why can they do such vicious things.He hugged the ashes in his arms tightly, feeling as if his heart was broken, and every time he breathed, he was choking on blood, so painful that he wanted to die.

"Please forgive me." Seeing his grief, it seemed too pale to say anything.

In a coffee shop not far away

"Click," Lu Qi bit the candy in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "won't you go in?"

"No." Li Xue took a deep breath and smiled, "That's enough, thank you, thank you friend, really, thank you very much."

[The sun is very warm, and there is an unknown fragrance of flowers floating in the air. He is lying on a small bed with a needle in his arm. His body is heavy and he has no strength. He can only slightly open his eyes and look to the side.

A little girl was standing next to the bed. She was too small and too short to barely expose her eyes. She noticed his gaze and showed a bright smile, so bright. 】

Jiang Zichen opened his eyes, and the phone screen lit up, prompting a text message to arrive, he glanced at it, and closed his eyes, this was probably the last memory.
