no soul

The cicadas sing in July, and they sing happily among the thick green leaves outside the window.The hoarse exhausted voice mixed with the stuffy air, making it disturbingly noisy.

"General!" Zhang Qianyi strode into the lobby of the General's Mansion. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was flushed red.

He gave a military salute to Wan Guchuan who was sitting in the hall leaning against the back of his chair reading a letter.

"Sit down and rest for a while, you still can't change it after so many years, you don't need to salute when you come to my house." Wan Guchuan put down the letter and motioned the servant girl to pour Zhang Qianyi a glass of water.

"That's not good. No matter how you say it, you can get it." Zhang Qianyi smiled. The young people in their 20s are not handsome, but they are also young, tidy and full of vigor.

He wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, took off his coat and hung it around his waist, took the water and gulped it down vigorously.

Really tired.

I have to mention that Zhang Yanyi is two years older than Wan Guchuan, and he is a subordinate and also like a brother.

Ever since Wan Guchuan took command at the age of 17, Zhang Qianyi has followed him in the north and south, and he is regarded as his right-hand man, and his work efficiency has always been very high.

After that hunt, it took less than a month to go back and forth from the imperial capital to Ganye.

Zhang Qianyi came to his senses, "There was indeed a serial murder case in Ganye City a year ago, and it is still unsolved."

Wan Guchuan looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"The deceased were two women and five men."

Wan Guchuan frowned, "Are you sure it's two women and five men?"

But they are obviously three women and five men...

"I'm sure." Zhang Yanyi continued, "I also checked the Jiang family."

"There are no twins in their family, only one daughter."

Wan Guchuan was startled, "Name?"

"Jiang Xi'er."

Ganye City is located on the northwest border, and people live in an orderly manner.

Jiang Xi'er was wearing a bright yellow long dress, lying in front of the window on the attic, watching Miss Huang and Miss Xia who were playing and playing downstairs.

She turned her head to look at Mother Jiang who was tidying up the room, "Mother, I want to have a younger sister."

"You are serious, even if my mother has one now, you are still 12 years behind, and she can't play with you." Jiang's mother shook off the bed sheet and spread it on the cotton wool, tidying up the corners.

"Xi'er, come quickly, you have great strength, help mother move the bed and put it over."

"Yes." Jiang Xi'er moved the bed to the place pointed by her mother by herself.

Mother Jiang looked at her, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking, "Go down and play with them."

Jiang Xi'er looked at the two girls outside the window from a distance, but there was a bit of envy in her eyes, "They don't like me."

"If I invite you to come to my house to play, don't touch my things!" Miss Huang's family frowned delicately, bossing around.

Miss Xia was sitting on Ms. Huang's bed dangling her feet, her beautiful face showed reluctance, "If your mother hadn't come to see us, I really wouldn't want to play with you..."

Jiang Xier reluctantly put down the Pisces jade pendant in her hand.

As soon as she entered the door, she fell in love with this jade pendant. The cyan jade was delicate and moist, and the two fishes connected head to tail were alive, as if they could jump out in the next moment.

"What should we play?" Miss Xia smiled and looked at Miss Huang's family with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Miss Huang understood and smiled, she turned to look at Jiang Xier, "Let's play a game!"

Jiang Xier nodded.

Ms. Huang said: "I'll count to twenty, you find a place to hide, I'll come to you, if you are found, you will be punished!"

The other two little girls complied.

"Start!" Miss Huang blindfolded outside the door.

Miss Xia pointed Jiang Xier under the bed, beckoning her to hide in, and ran out the door by herself.

Jiang Xier followed her wishes and hid under the bed.

Miss Xia saw it from hiding at the door, covered her mouth and snickered, and pulled Miss Huang who was still blindfolded and standing outside the door to count.

Ms. Huang opened her eyes and looked at her, with a smirk, "I'm done counting, are you hiding? I'm here to find you!"

The two laughed, held hands and ran out.

Jiang Xi'er hid under the bed, looked outside through the crack of the bed, but there was nothing.

Why is there no sound?It seems that he is hiding very secretly.

Waited for a long time without hearing anything.Jiang Xi'er scratched the floor with her fingers boredly, tearing away the sawdust rising from the bed.

Until the sun is about to set.Jiang Xi'er slowly crawled out from under the bed, her legs were weak, she knew very well that she had been cheated.

Her eyes fell faintly on the Pisces jade pendant lying on the table.

A thought popped up, and it was out of control: Why, one is rich, the other is beautiful, and I am still unpopular?

She walked over and put the jade pendant in her pocket, and walked out of Huang's house.

The room was pitch black, and there was a shiny sharp knife on the table.

Jiang Xi'er sat alone on the bed, holding the Pisces jade pendant in her hand, darkness enveloped her figure.

She grinned, "Sister, I'm Jiang Le'er."

"My good sister," Jiang Xier caressed her face, "everyone should like you."

"Ah!!!!" The servant girl of Huang's family screamed in fright at the scene in front of her, her eyes widened, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground, "Little... miss..."

I saw a person lying on the carved bed, but the pillow was empty, and blood was splashed on the wall beside the bed.

The smell of blood filled every corner of the house.

The next day, the girl from the Xia family also died tragically on her bed in the same way.

In the middle of the night of those two days, Jiang Xier took off her bright yellow dress splattered with blood by the river.Some people salvaged the clothes downstream. If the clothes were allowed to flow down the water, they would be exposed. She moved the stones and pressed the clothes underneath.

While humming a song, he washed the blood off his body with river water, put on clean clothes, and walked home with the severed head in his hand.

"Why don't you like my sister?" Jiang Xi'er sat on the floor, holding Miss Huang's head in both hands, and looked at her.

"Why don't you like my sister!!" She threw the head out.

Boom, boom, boom, gurgling...

The gray eyes of the human head are wide open...

Neither girl's head was found.This incident caused disturbances all over the city, and people panicked. They nailed up all the windows of their houses with wooden strips, and the whole house was like an airtight coffin...

Yamen deduced that the murderer was a strong adult man.

"Sister, I'm so scared..." Jiang Xier sat on the bed, "Do you think he will come to kill us?"

"Don't be afraid, it won't happen, sister will protect you." Jiang Xi'er smiled softly and patted her head.

"Sister! Sister! I'm so scared! Come here!"

The room was dark, Jiang Xi'er crouched in the corner, staring at the underside of the bed and trembling.

"Sister! I'm afraid! I'm afraid! Sister!"

Jiang's mother and Jiang's father heard their daughter's voice, and ran up with candles, "Xi'er! What happened?!"

"Mother... it's my sister... it's my sister... my sister... she's... dead."

When Jiang's mother saw her like this, she burst into tears immediately, and held her in her arms, "Where are there any sisters, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mother!"

Jiang Xi'er tugged at her mother's clothes, trembling uncontrollably, "Sister...has no head..."

Jiang Xier sat in the dark, holding the Pisces jade pendant, staring at her eyes, shaking her head slowly, "Who killed my sister? Who is it? I want to avenge my sister and cut off his head too. "

"Is it him?" Jiang Xi'er's face was splattered with hot blood, looking at the bloody headless corpse on the bed, "It doesn't seem to be him."

She held the head in her arms, and all the blood was sucked onto her clothes.She climbed up the cupboard, followed the beams, squeezed into the chimney, and climbed out.

Three more sons had accidents, and the murderer has not been arrested so far.

People in the city live in fear every day, and they are going crazy, and the family members of the deceased are even more reluctant.A group of people ran to the Yamen to make trouble.

There is nothing they can do about forcing the Yamen like this.

Again and again, riots broke out.

The yamen was at a loss, closed the gate, and ran away.

The atmosphere in the city became more depressing.

Jiang Xi'er was lying under the bed, and the sharp knife in her hand slowly moved across the floor and the bed, drawing long scratches.

"Wow"...

"Wow"...

She slowly crawled out from under the bed, looked at the sleeping person on the bed, stabbed him in the neck with a knife, and raised the hand holding the knife suddenly, bringing out a spray of blood!

"It wasn't him..." Jiang Xi'er wiped the blood on her face, "Who killed you...my dear sister..."

Five men were already dead in the city.

"Sister, I can't find the murderer who killed you." In the darkness, Jiang Xi'er curled up on the bed with her knees hugged.

"I can't find it. My sister... who killed you?"

Jiang Xier looked at the sharp knife thrown by the pillow, touched the Pisces jade pendant around her neck, and grinned, "It seems to be me."

"I want to avenge you..." She picked up the sharp knife, held it with her backhand, and stabbed it into her own neck!

There was still a breath, she pulled the knife and cut, but finally swallowed halfway through the cut.

She stared unwillingly, with her head drooping on her shoulders, halfway connected to her neck...Blood gushed out...

who am I?

Jiang Xier felt that she was Jiang Leer until she died.

Zhang Qianyi sighed, "Jiang Xi'er's parents said that she went crazy a year ago, and she made up a person out of thin air. At first, she was talking to herself, but later she directly said that she was her younger sister Jiang Le'er, and that she was her sister. already dead."

"Later, Jiang Xi'er actually committed suicide. She wanted to cut off her own head, and died in half... I was horrified just listening to it..."

Wan Guchuan understood.

Jiang Xier wants to be the "Jiang Leer" that everyone loves.

So in the world he and Lin Hong went to, both the headless girl and the living girl called themselves "Jiang Le'er".

In that world, Ms. Huang and Jiang Xier were very good friends...the jade pendant was also a gift...

In her subconscious mind, she was unwilling to seek justice for her former self - that "Jiang Xi'er".

But in the end I went the wrong way...

Of the eight blood-stained clothes, one was stained with his own blood.

Jiang Xier: Leer, you are too thin to climb that chimney, drink more nutrient solution.
