Song Muxue looked at this orthographic character and felt very familiar.

She opened the photo album and turned to the day when she visited Zhang Zhiruo's grave when she just returned to China, and as expected, she found the photo of the tombstone.

The handwriting of the black mark in the photo is still very clear, and the word "正" is written in two strokes.

Song Muxue showed the photo to Kou Shuang and asked her, "Do you think it was written by one person?"

Kou Shuang just glanced at it and got horrified, closed his eyes and pushed the phone away and said, "Where did you take this picture?"

"On Zhang Zhiruo's tombstone."

The calm tone in the past seemed a bit pervasive in this scene, but Song Muxue was still Song Muxue.Kou Shuang was a little timid, took Song Muxue's arm and shook it, and said, "Shall we go out? Don't discuss such things here."

Song Muxue nodded, took a close-up of the orthographic characters, and then left with Kou Shuang.

When she got home, she couldn't help but look back at the whole thing, and the "T" mark on Zhang Zhiruo's grave made her very concerned.

Is this a mark from the same hand?Or some kind of coincidence?

She thinks it is the former, but the mystery in her heart is getting bigger and bigger.Why did Zhang Zhiruo's death have a connection with the orphanage where his parents had been in before his death?Is it a thing, or a person?

Song Muxue decided to go to the cemetery again, but she didn't tell Kou Shuang.Because Kou Shuang seemed to be afraid of such things, Song Muxue could understand.

There are row upon row of tombstones in the cemetery, and when Song Muxue passed the fifth tombstone, Fuzhi suddenly thought of something.She took a few steps back and stared at the upper right corner of the tombstone, and as expected, she saw a black horizontal line.

Is this... a stroke of the word "positive"?

Song Muxue's breath was stagnant, and she quickly took out her mobile phone to take a picture and save it.

Move to the side, standing in front of another tombstone, there is also a horizontal line on it.

Song Muxue's heart sank again.

After observing a row of more than twenty tombstones, she found three marks.When she went to observe the next row, she didn't take pictures to collect evidence.

After observing the entire cemetery in this way, including Zhang Zhiruo's tombstone, a total of fifteen black marks were found.

Among these marks, except for Zhang Zhiruo's tombstone with two strokes and three with three strokes, the rest have only one horizontal stroke.

Song Muxue went to the management office to borrow a blank paper and a pen, and wanted to draw a general picture of the cemetery, so that after returning home, she could sort out the relationship between the fifteen deceased—the location of the tombstone, the date of birth and death, gender, etc. .

She came here so often that a very young staff member of the cemetery remembered her and asked her: "What is Miss Sister doing here? Do you want to use Feng Shui to choose a cemetery? If so, we have an official recommendation Oh, do you want to take a look?"

Song Muxue paused for a moment and asked, "Do you have any official plans?"

The staff member smiled, handed over a brochure, and said, "Here, these are very popular cemetery locations, and several people have already planned to use them for themselves in the future. Miss Sister, you can also consider it."

Song Muxue smiled and said, "Can you really sell this way?"

The staff said: "People who can come here have witnessed death. Compared with bad luck, they may be more afraid of not having a place to live after death. Everyone is very open-minded."

Song Muxue took the promotional paper and asked casually, "How many people bought the cemetery in advance?"

"It's not too many, but there are also those who often come to compare. You say this is not buying clothes, and there is no point in shopping around."

Song Muxue's heart moved, and she asked, "Then have you ever met any very strange people?"

"Strange person? Come to hang out with us when you have nothing to do, does it count? There are also children who are very annoying and always scribble on the tombstone. Haven't their parents taught them to be in awe of death and the dead? Really It's disgusting..."

The staff chattered, Song Muxue had already remembered the information secretly, and said, "I've seen graffiti too, it's on my friend's tombstone. Will you clean it up regularly?"

The staff immediately became a little embarrassed and ashamed, and said: "Well, we hit the tombstone cleaning once every five years. Your friend's tombstone may not be here yet, sorry..."

Song Muxue didn't mean to criticize, so she smiled and said, "Follow your pace and regulations. Thank you for the brochure."

Song Muxue stepped into the cemetery again, and the brochure showed a scaled-down bird's-eye view. The grid was small, but it was enough to see the structure clearly.

She re-watched each of the tombstones in turn, making sure she hadn't missed a black mark or anything that looked like a black mark.When a case is found, its location is marked on the bird's-eye view, and the entire tombstone is photographed—there are various information about the deceased on it.

After recording all the tombstones in turn, Song Muxue looked back at the entire cemetery.

This is not the peak period for sweeping graves, so the cemetery is deserted.And in this deserted and lonely atmosphere, Song Muxue caught a glimpse of a man in black clothes who bent down and then stood up ten meters away.

This was not a very strange movement or posture, but at that moment Song Muxue had a very strong premonition: there was something wrong with this person.

She walked towards that person quickly, but looked away, making a look of "not intentionally".

The man in black moved slowly at first, but at a certain moment, his head glanced in Song Muxue's direction.

The two looked at each other, and Song Muxue saw the other's deep black eyes, with a hood on his head and a mask under his nose.

The other party seemed to have just glanced at it, but Song Muxue was very sure that the other party saw and found her, because the man quickened his pace in the next second, turned around and ran away.

!!!

Song Muxue barely paused, and ran after the opponent.But her physical ability is a little weaker after all, and when she started to chase, the opponent had already stepped several meters away.

That man must have a ghost!Otherwise, if you don't see yourself, run away!

Song Muxue held her breath, feeling a little thankful that she didn't wear high heels today.

But the other party's physical strength was obviously stronger, even though Song Muxue had exhausted all his strength, he pushed Song Muxue away with a single step, then flipped through the walls of the cemetery, and disappeared at the border.

Song Muxue stopped panting, and went to check the wall again.It's a pity that the soles of the man's shoes should be relatively clean, not a single shoe print was left.

Why did the other party run away as soon as they saw him?Is it because you know yourself, or did you see yourself taking pictures of the tombstone?

The man was dressed in black, covered tightly,

While thinking, Song Muxue walked to the tombstone where the man stopped just now.With just one glance, her eyes widened.

There is a fresh black horizontal bar on the upper right corner of this tombstone, which can be wiped off by hand.

Just painted it.

Song Muxue squinted her eyes and couldn't help pulling away a little distance to look at the tombstone.

-

There are a total of 16 marked tombstones. Except for the newly marked one, the remaining 15 are in a very disorderly state.

First of all, there is no law in the geographical distribution of tombstones, and secondly:

There are three strokes on each of the three tombstones; two strokes on one (of Zhang Zhiruo); and only one stroke on the remaining 3 tombstones.

8 pieces belong to men, 7 pieces belong to women (including Zhang Zhiruo).

The deceased was born in a wide range of years, with the earliest being born 74 years ago and the latest being born 22 years ago, and the time distribution is irregular.

The deceased died in a wide range of years, with the earliest death being 20 years ago and the latest death being 1 year ago, and the time distribution was irregular.And the cemetery has only been in existence for 20 years.

The ages of the deceased at the time of death ranged from 44 years old to 18 years old, and the age distribution was irregular.

Assuming that the person who made the black mark is the man in black, then there seems to be no uniform standard for him to choose the "prank" object.I don't understand how he chose.

And what does the number of strokes represent?Song Muxue carefully studied the three tombstones marked with three strokes, and found that the three deceased were a family and died on the same day.

what does that mean?And Zhang Zhiruo, who is different from the others, has two strokes on the tombstone. What does this mean?

With these superficial data, there is no way to analyze anything.Song Muxue shifted her gaze to the newly marked tombstone, which was her main individual research object.

The owner of this tombstone is Wen Zhe, a male celebrity.

Because of his status, Wen Zhe's life is easier to grasp than others.He is 22 years old this year and has debuted for three and a half years. He has filmed some youth idol dramas before his death. He is a hot guy. He has a small number of fans, but the quality is high and he is willing to spend money.Co-produced a low-budget movie with a third-tier female star, and the fans really carried the box office.

Due to the company's line planning problems, he has a lot of scandals, but he has no public girlfriend.In addition, there is no negative news, and the public image is fairly clean.

Wen Zhe has never had any conflicts on the table with others. When the news of the death came out, many friends in the circle forwarded the candles. At that time, no one had any business contacts with him. It should be spontaneous.It can be seen that the popularity in the circle is good.

Wen Zhe died in a car accident. It is said that he was drunk and drove into the pier of the bridge across the river. The car crashed and killed.At that time, it also triggered many discussions in the society. Some people said that he deserved it, some people said that the deceased should not be slandered, and some people said that we should vigorously publicize it as a warning.

The resume is very simple, but why was it selected by the man in black and wrote a line on the tombstone?

Song Muxue frowned, and clicked on the mouse.

"Hey, are you a fan of Wen Zhe?" A colleague passing by behind, who might have caught a glimpse of Song Muxue's screen, came over and asked.

"I'm a little interested, let's get to know it a little bit. What's the matter?" Song Muxue asked.

"Wen Zhe...it's a pity for him." The colleague shook his head and said, "I think the company may have harmed him."

"How do you say that?" Hearing this, Song Muxue made a curious expression, pulled a chair from the side, and asked her colleague to sit down and talk about it.

If there is negative news, there will be clues, and if there are fans, there will be negative news. This is really a coincidence.

The colleague sat down and gossiped: "I have always heard that he was cursed to death by fans! I read it on the gossip forum. If he is not legally responsible, I will declare first." Maybe it is because of professional relations, the colleague Gossip seems to be more professional than others, "It is said that he has a lot of fanatic fans, and he likes him very much. In order to spend a lot of money, he booked a movie, picked up and dropped off the airport, bought charts for support, and bought trending searches out of his own pocket. Such."

"Maybe the fans really like it, and they especially like to worry about his romance career, saying that the work arranged by the company is unreasonable, that there shouldn't be so many gaps, that they shouldn't accept this drama, and that they shouldn't be with any female star. Hype and the like. These days, fans know better than the stars themselves, and I heard that they even spontaneously organize fan clubs and fan groups.”

"He is also a very friendly prince, and he interacts a lot with fans. Sometimes fans will buy him some small gifts, and he accepts them with a smile--according to the rumors, he really accepts them, and he just knows how to eat and drink. The kind that can be worn and used, paparazzi has taken a lot of photos. Now that the entertainment industry is so chaotic, he can really accept the kindness of fans, which makes him seem very warm and close to the people. You don’t know, the fan circle is in chaos now. Those who sent razor blades, some put glue in drinks for idols, and some hid embroidery needles in handmade biscuits for idols, I really don’t know how they could be so vicious!”

Song Muxue didn't know anything about the entertainment industry, and asked, "Didn't you mean fans? How could you treat your idol like this? I thought star chasing was just a matter of liking stars..."

A colleague said: "I don't understand either, fans, black fans, CP fans, black fans...all kinds of things, anyway, I don't understand. I'm just a group of people who like to watch. So now Celebrities don’t accept things from fans very much. They can’t buy what they want. Compared with money, fans’ wishes don’t matter at all. I said this to say that Wenzhe people are really good, it’s entertainment There is a clear current in the circle, it is very warm, I am still a fan of him. But this may be a matter of route, if he is not such a close-to-people and warm-hearted man, the number of fans will not grow so fast. If you want to take a shortcut, take risks It's necessary. It's just that he's messed with some crazy fans, which is sad."

"What kind of crazy fans? You said that the company harmed him, and that he was cursed to death by fans. I don't understand." Song Muxue said.

"The company chose this route, and arranged for him to work. He disappears in the entertainment circle for almost two months every year. He doesn't answer the announcements, doesn't post on Weibo, and no one knows what he is doing. The company explains that it is to learn However, the fans felt that it was because the company was incapable of grabbing resources for him, so they used this set of rhetoric to fool the fans, and the company even had conflicts with the fans. At that time, this matter was quite big, and many fans used the topic to say ' If you don't come back, you will get rid of fans', which became a hot search and almost became a joke in the entire fan circle. Later, he came out to refute the rumors, saying that it was due to some personal reasons that he had to leave work temporarily, which had nothing to do with the company. I hope fans I can understand."

"He said that, and several fans quit, saying that he didn't pay attention to fans at all. We support you because you can bring us happiness, but because of private affairs, you can go away for a few months. This is irresponsible at all. Repost his Weibo and ask him if he has secretly married."

"Wen Zhe didn't answer, and one of the fans announced that he was going to be a fan, burned all the albums and magazines, and made a voodoo doll to curse him to death. During the live broadcast, he cried so hard that his parents died... I also watched that live broadcast, and it was launched after 5 minutes of watching. It’s too scary, so it’s not love, it’s more like hate!” My colleague patted his chest in shock and said, “Fortunately, I’m not a star, Otherwise, if I have to face the judgments of passers-by, the attacks on my fans, and the love of my fans that is worse than hate, I will really go crazy!"

Before her colleague spoke, Song Muxue thought it was a frame-up with solid evidence, but when she heard this, it was just a black fan in the entertainment circle.After the colleague finished speaking, Song Muxue paused for a while and said, "Do you believe in voodoo dolls?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" The colleague said with an exaggerated expression. After a while, he seemed to realize something, looked at Song Muxue and said, "Could it be that you are really investigating the cause of his death? Then you should ask the police—oh, the police also It’s not necessarily reliable, because his family members don’t seem to call the police, because this way of death is disgraceful—you shouldn’t ask me anyway. I’m just a melon passerby, and I can share entertainment gossip with you, but I definitely don’t know that kind of inside story I know. In this world, is there anyone who really cares about the truth? Isn’t it all just for fun. Besides, the truth is relative.”

The colleague patted Song Muxue on the shoulder, stood up and went back to work at his station.Song Muxue sat on the spot, tasted the sentence "truth is relative" twice, shook her head, and opened the communication of the colleagues in the archives department: [Hello, can you check some names for me?I wonder if they have been involved in any lawsuits. 】

The colleagues in the archives department have already been exposed to various strange needs, so they are not surprised at the moment, but just ask her: [How many people? 】

【15. 】

[No, it’s still 16, thank you. 】

[Well, please send the name. 】

Song Muxue sent all the list of the dead who had been sorted out, and thanked her.Thinking of my colleague's sentence "you should ask the police", I thought it was quite reasonable, so I sent another copy of the list to Zheng Fenglin.
