Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 608 Ge Shuiyun's Notebook

In the early morning, fiery clouds gradually appeared on the horizon.

Outside the Yunshui Inn, a dozen criminal police officers stood there, looking at the building in front of them.

This may not be the first crime scene, but it is a very important part of the whole case.

Important, but not necessary.

The murderer could have easily avoided doing this and directly killed the three victims in Jingcheng, but he chose to do something unconventional.

There must be a reason for something being unconventional. Maybe the murderer's psychology is not normal, or maybe this incident has special meaning to the murderer.

"Chen Xun, what should we do next?" After a long silence, Chai Ziyi spoke.

It is basically certain that there is something seriously wrong with the innkeeper Wu Changchun. He should be Ge Guangsheng himself. As long as he confesses and tells the truth, the investigation of the case will see significant progress.

Even, just close the case.

However, even after DNA and kinship testing, Wu Changchun still chose to act, not only cuckolding himself, but also cuckolding his father.

Everyone knows he is lying, but the logic makes sense, and the two green hats do explain the current situation.

Without new clues, it will be difficult to move the case forward.

Chen Yi stared at the building in front of him and did not answer Chai Ziyi's question. He was thinking.

Where will the loophole be?

Where is the easiest breakthrough point in the whole incident?

Let's sort out the existing clues first, and then add some speculations...

First of all, Wu Changchun is Ge Guangsheng, and Ge Guangsheng is the murderer in this case.

Since Ge Guangsheng is the murderer in this case and his daughter Ge Shuiyun is missing, then Ge Guangsheng's motive for murder must have come from his daughter.

There is no conclusion yet as to whether it was revenge for the daughter, so let's just assume it was revenge for the daughter.

What happens after revenge?

How should he deal with his daughter's body, preserve it forever or bury it underground?

"Ge Guangsheng didn't hesitate to kill three people, which shows that he loved his daughter very much. If he buried her, would he bury her close to him?"

"When you miss her, you can go and see her, and on her death anniversary every year, you can go and burn some incense."

Thinking of this, Chen Yi turned his head to look at the small town of Shidu on his left. It was desolate with broken walls and ruins. The wind blew up dust, making the whole town look hazy and unreal.

After pondering for a moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked to the right, where the dead tree was.

Three victims - or rather the bodies used for substitution - were hung here three times in a row, swaying with the wind and sand in the small town of Shidu.

Chen Yi continued to move his gaze, focusing on the plants on the ground.

Plants also grow in the impoverished town of Shidu, the most common of which is agave.

Looking around, you can see many agaves scattered around. Its leaves are long and sharp, with a circle of fine serrations on the edges, and even look cold in the faint morning light.

The leaves spread out radiating from the center, layer upon layer, forming vortices. This is a defense against the outside world and a display of one's own vitality.

Looking at these agaves, Chen Yi walked towards the location of the dead tree.

Behind him, the detectives followed.

There were also agaves around the dead tree, about two or three of them. Chen Yi squatted down and looked at one of them. In the center was an inflorescence that was about to bloom. It curled up low-key among the leaves, as if waiting for some sacred moment to come.

The light yellow and white forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding dark green leaves, adding gentleness and anticipation to the environment.

After blooming, the yellow-white will turn into yellow-green.

Agave, a symbol of tenacity and hope, like cactus, is drought-tolerant and has good soil adaptability, allowing it to thrive in inhospitable lands.

Chen Yi reached out and touched the leaves, and suddenly said, "Go get the tools, dig up all the agaves around, and dig deeper."

The police officers took the order, turned around and left quickly.

Chai Ziyi asked, "Chen Xun, do you suspect there are bodies or ashes buried underground?"

Chen Yi stood up and said, "I don't know. Let's try and dig. If we're lucky, we might get something unexpected."

Chai Ziyi nodded: "The logic is reasonable. Burying your daughter somewhere close to you so you can burn some incense occasionally."

After saying that, he looked back at the inn and continued, "Maybe we can also dig up the yard. After so many years, we definitely can't judge the living soil. We can only dig it up bit by bit."

Listening to what the two said, Han Qiu carefully looked at the ground around the dead tree and found no traces of incense ash or memorial services. Everything seemed natural.

It is always a possibility. You will know once you dig.

The police officers returned quickly, holding shovels and hoes in their hands, and some of them were carrying small shovels, preparing for the delicate work that might occur. If they really wanted to dig up something, they needed to be careful.

Chen Yi and the other two took a few steps back and watched the police officers digging hard with their backs to the wind to avoid choking.

The agave was uprooted in a short period of time, and the soil was constantly blown out of the pit, most of which was piled up on the side, and a small part was blown away by the wind.

As time went by, the holes became deeper and deeper. Suddenly, one of the holes seemed to have found a foreign object. The two police officers who were working immediately stopped, squatted down and slowly cleaned it with a small shovel.

Seeing this, Chen Yi and the other two walked over and looked into the pit.

It is vaguely visible that it is plastic.

"Use your hands." Chen Yi ordered.

The police officer threw away the shovel and started to scoop up the soil with his hands. The area of ​​plastic was getting bigger and bigger. It turned out to be a plastic bag.

"take it out."

The police officer lifted the plastic bag and the remaining soil poured out.

During the process, Chen Yi had already put on gloves. He took the plastic bag, carefully placed it on the ground and opened it, and found a notebook inside.

The cover is pink with cartoon characters on it. It should be a girl's notebook.

Chen Yi opened the first page.

On the blank butterfly page, three beautiful words were written - Ge Shuiyun.

Seeing these three words, Chen Yi's face froze slightly, and he immediately turned to the second page of the notebook, and then said: "Dig up all the agaves within 50 meters around, and report any findings.

Come on, let’s go in.”

Holding the notebook, Chen Yi returned to the Yunshui Inn, found a seat to sit down, and opened the notebook again.

"This is Ge Shuiyun's diary."

journal? !
Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu hurried over and stood behind Chen Yi, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them browsed the diary contents together.

The diary buried in the soil may contain important clues.

……

*Year*Month*Day

Friday

(I.e.

The raindrops outside the window gently tap on the glass, and each drop seems to fall on the lake of my heart, causing circle of ripples.

Today, the rain seems to be crying for me too.

I love dancing. For me, dancing is not only the rhythm of my body, but also the way for me to communicate with the world. I long for the stage, long for competition, and long to prove myself. However, accidents always come unexpectedly, and all the beauty was broken in the winter a few months ago.

I have acute myelitis.

This is a treatable disease, but it was delayed last fall.

The doctor asked me to come back for a follow-up visit, but I didn’t take it seriously. I don’t blame him, he’s a good doctor. There were many people who died in the funeral home during those days, and my dad was so busy that he didn’t even have time to sleep, but he didn’t take it seriously either.

Maybe this is God's will, and no one can be blamed.

As I write this, I can feel my legs becoming weaker and weaker. Maybe after a while, it will be very difficult for me to even stand up.

Today, the world behind the rain is much more blurred.

Dancing has become an unattainable dream for me. I can no longer stand on the stage, not even once. I have also lost the qualifications to pursue my dream of participating in the Peach Blossom Award Dance Competition. Let it become an eternal memory.

The rain will stop, but the dream will be shattered. I hope God can give me another way to let me shine my own light somewhere in the world.

Good night, my dream.

May you still be brilliant in another world.

……

After reading the first diary, Chen Yi and the other two realized that Ge Shuiyun started writing the diary after he became ill and realized that he could no longer dance.

From the lines, we can see that she loves dancing, and dancing has even become a part of her life, but she does not take dancing as a career.

Ge Shuiyun was very desperate after losing dance.

However, it seems that he has no thoughts of committing suicide for the time being.

Chen Yi turned to the second article.

In the second diary, Ge Shuiyun recorded his memories of his mother.

She has memories of her mother because she saw her occasionally when she was a child, but as time went by and she got older, she saw her mother less and less.

I never saw him again until I was in elementary and junior high school.

Later, Ge Shuiyun realized that her mother must have a new child.

She went to ask her father, but all she got in return was his dissatisfaction and abuse towards her mother. After so many times, she no longer dared to ask.

Ge Shuiyun was very confused. Why didn't her mother come to see her anymore? Even if she had a new child, did she no longer have a child?
[Mom, I may not be able to walk in the future. While I can still walk, can you take a walk with me so that I can stand and hug you?]

【Good night, mom. I have a very sad day today. 】

In contrast, Ge Shuiyun's mood became visibly depressed, with a hint of depression.

Continue to turn back.

There are many entries in the diary, and each one shows obvious changes in emotions. Ge Shuiyun resigned due to illness, and her friends gradually became distant after their initial concern. She spent more time sitting in the room staring at the scenery outside the window, and was indifferent to the world and entertainment on her mobile phone.

Jingcheng Song and Dance Theater was also mentioned. It is also one of Ge Shuiyun’s dreams. He hopes to perform there one day.

Finally, she went out, breathed the fresh air outside, and met someone.

Jory.

No greeting, just a glance from a distance.

Qiao Rui is very happy and content with his girlfriend.

Ge Shuiyun used two pages to record this incident, recording his first heartbeat and his first love, which was not really his first love.

[Qiao Rui, I saw you that day. I haven't seen you for many years. You are still as handsome, charming, cool and confident as you were in high school.]

[I wanted to muster up the courage to tell you that I like you. It’s not a confession of pursuit, but to tell you a fact, to let you know that there was a girl who had been paying attention to you silently. ]

[But, the beauty next to you is so stunningly beautiful that I feel ashamed of myself. Only a girl like her can be worthy of you, unlike me...who will soon become disabled.]

【I wish you happiness. 】

After seeing this, Chen Yi and the other two roughly knew why Qiao Rui died.

No calamity.

He did nothing wrong. He just ran into Ge Shuiyun while shopping with his girlfriend. The cause and effect in the world are so disgusting and incomprehensible.

The last entry in the diary was Ge Shuiyun’s suicide note. She did not mark it as a suicide note, but the content was indeed a suicide note.

She finally decided to leave this world, even though her motive for suicide was not sufficient.

It depends on whether you fully understand the suicidal person himself. If a suicidal person believes that there is nothing left for him to be attached to in the world, he will resolutely embrace death.

After reading the last word, Chai Ziyi took a deep breath and said, "This is not revenge for my daughter, this is killing innocent people."

The diary did not mention the dance teacher Zhang Wenyang, but did mention the doctor Xiang Shu and Qiao Rui from the Tobacco Bureau.

Ge Shuiyun's evaluation of Xiang Shu was "a good doctor". The other party had already reminded him to go for a follow-up visit, but the reason he didn't go was his own and had nothing to do with the doctor.

She didn't blame the doctor.

She didn't blame her father either.

As for Qiao Rui, he had nothing to do with Ge Shuiyun's life. It was just a chance encounter that allowed the two high school alumni to pass by each other.

Even Qiao Rui might not know Ge Shuiyun.

Xiang Shu's killing was barely understandable, but Ge Guangsheng was really crazy and extremely cruel for including Qiao Rui in the death list.

"Guilty." Chen Yi closed the notebook.

Guilt?

Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu looked at each other.

Chen Yi said: "I think it was Ge Guangsheng's own fault that caused his daughter not to go for a follow-up visit. Unfortunately, the one in ten million chance happened to Ge Shuiyun, and she really had a serious illness.

Out of distorted guilt, Ge Guangsheng had to put all the blame on others in order to feel at ease.

By killing people, he forced himself to believe that it was Xiang Shu and others, not himself, who caused his daughter to commit suicide.

You are right, he killed innocent people indiscriminately. He was not seeking revenge, he was doing it for himself."

Han Qiu frowned deeply. It was hard to imagine that there were such people. "Just because my daughter saw her crush from middle school, she killed him? What kind of train of thought is this?"

Chen Yi picked up the notebook on the table, and Chai Ziyi replied: "It should not be just because of these. I think... Ge Guangsheng and Qiao Rui may have met. What exactly happened, we need to ask Ge Guangsheng himself."

Han Qiu nodded: "This is more reasonable."

Chai Ziyi: "He even killed Qiao Rui, but he didn't kill his ex-wife, Ge Shuiyun's mother. It seems that he still couldn't bear it. After all, she is his daughter's biological mother."

Han Qiu: "I've been thinking about this too. No matter how you look at it, Ge Shuiyun's mother should have been killed before Qiao Rui. Just as Chai Zhi said... I can't bear it. Killing an acquaintance is more psychologically stressful than killing a stranger."

At this time, Chen Yi turned the notebook upright and looked at the edge of the book. He could see that the first one-third of the pages were old and had been used. They were the diaries he had just read, and the few pages at the back seemed... also used.

I really didn't pay much attention to it just now. When people browse through a notebook, they subconsciously flip from the front to the back, and rarely think that there is content on the back pages.

After realizing this, Chen Yi turned the notebook upside down and opened the last page.

Title: "The Hour of Dawn".

Content: Night and dawn interweave, the city is gently shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and even time seems to be lost in the haze.

At this moment, a bizarre case that shocked the whole city quietly occurred, breaking the tranquility of the early morning...

novel?

This is a novel written by Ge Shuiyun, and it seems to be a suspenseful criminal investigation novel.

Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu also saw it and came over again.

The novel is very short, only a few thousand words, with a rough structure and inconsistent plot. It should be that Ge Shuiyun wrote it when he was bored, and there is no ending.

This is not the point.

The point is that the content is basically the same as the death process of Xiang Shu and the other two, and the latter is an upgraded version of the former.
