ghost oath

Everyone at the scene of Ye Zi's death had stolen goods, so it was impossible for Su Ruxu to quibble, let alone she seemed to have no intention of quibbling at all.The police pulled her up, handcuffed her, and took her directly back to the police station.

Shen Xiuping stayed in the interrogation room for nearly an hour, and finally opened the door helplessly and came out.

"She admitted that she killed Ye Zi, but she didn't admit the other two." Shen Xiuping shrugged, "She insisted that Ye Zi did it, and that Ye Zi once pretended to be a ghost to scare her and wanted to blackmail her. Paul. She won't say anything but that."

"To be honest, I think she has some mental problems. Her state is up and down. When I asked her what Ye Zi used to blackmail her, she suddenly became very frightened and kept talking nonsense... "Shen Xiuping was a little troubled, "I think it is difficult for us to appeal. In her case, the lawyer will definitely ask for a psychiatric evaluation, and she will most likely be transferred to a mental hospital for rest."

Bai Sujin was holding two photos in his hand, one was the woman in red, and the other was the group photo. He was comparing them carefully. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and rushed to Mo Chuan in three steps. around.

"Mo Chuan, can I ask her?"

Mo Chuan could probably guess that he must have discovered something, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Go, don't irritate her."

Bai Sujin pushed open the door of the interrogation room and sat down opposite Su Ruxu.

"Doctor Bai." Su Ruxu stared at him firmly, "I remember you."

"My honor." Bai Sujin didn't make any more detours, and directly took out the group photo, and put it in front of Su Ruxu, "I believe Miss Su must still recognize this photo, right?"

Su Ruxu lowered her head, stared at the photo quietly, was silent for a while, and said, "Before answering your question, can I ask you a few questions first?"

Without much hesitation, Bai Sujin nodded and said, "Ask."

"I've always been curious, why did Xin Ran seek you for consultation, and what did she tell you?" When Su Ruxu asked, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and Bai Sujin could see a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

Bai Sujin didn't hide anything, and recounted the conversation in the consulting room in detail.

Su Ruxu's body slowly relaxed, and she gradually leaned back on the chair. For some reason, Bai Sujin always felt that she was relieved.

"Thank you, Doctor Bai, for being willing to tell a murderer this, you are a good person." Until now, Su Ruxu could still smile and thank you politely.

"Yes, of course I recognize this photo." Su Ruxu reached for the photo and looked at it carefully, "Sunflower Orphanage, this photo was taken when I was eight years old. At that time, all of us Still together."

"I also know what you want to ask me." Su Ruxu tapped her fingers on the positions of the two girls, "Yes, this is indeed me, and the other is my twin sister—Su Ruliu."

"Ten years ago, my sister disappeared near the orphanage. No one knew where she went, and she never appeared again. After that day, my sister disappeared from my life, and I lost my only relative, Became a real orphan." There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she had returned to the day when she lost her sister, and a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.

"Not long after, I was adopted by my adoptive parents and left that orphanage." Su Ruxu gently pushed the photo back to Bai Sujin, "That's all I can tell you."

Bai Sujin took back the photo, looked at Su Ruxu who seemed calm and composed, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, he took out another photo, which showed the woman in the red dress.

"What about this photo? Can Ms. Su give me a reasonable explanation?" Bai Sujin slowly put the two photos together, and thoughtfully put them in front of Su Ruxu so that she could see them more clearly, "Maybe , you haven’t lost your last relative yet.”

The woman in the photo has exactly the same face as Su Ruxu, the only difference is that the tear mole at the corner of her eye stays quietly on her right eyelid, while Su Ruxu's is on the left.

From the moment Su Ruxu saw the photo, the beating of her heart gradually overwhelmed Bai Sujin's voice. She could feel the blood rising slowly, and she could also feel that her soul was slowly pulling away. The woman seemed to be staring at her mockingly and viciously, making her seem to be pinned by something, unable to move even a millimeter.

Her soul seemed to have left her body and was slowly vacating.

She heard her mechanical voice, with false shock and joy: "This is my sister? My God! She is still alive! I always thought..."

She saw her palm covering her open lips, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and tears of joy piling up in her eyes...

She also felt that she was slowly becoming cold, the blood was gradually turning into solid ice, piercing through her skin, causing all her heat to evaporate.

She was...really alive...she was...could be alive...

It turns out that everything is not over yet... Broad bean

Bai Sujin didn't speak, but sat quietly opposite, watching Su Ruxu's rigid one-man show.He knew that the woman in front of him was acting, and he also knew that this woman was very smart, so smart that she could avoid the punishment of death and various forms of interrogation.She would be transferred to a ward immediately, and her crimes would be labeled insane, protected by the state and understood by the public.

His eyes scanned the two photos on the table, and a sense of discord appeared in his heart. Su Ruxu was lying, and she was lying about everything about the orphanage.

But why?Back then...what happened?

"Ye Zi is indeed a professional extortionist," Zheng Su'er reported while typing on the computer, "I found out when I checked her financial situation. She used a false identity to apply for a stored-value card, and there were several fixed sums in the card. The remittance with a large amount of time was found to be the victim of extortion after checking the source."

"The phone call she made to Su Ruxu was probably blackmailing the other party, but she didn't expect Su Ruxu to react so strongly and killed her directly. Su Ruxu was mentally abnormal, and she couldn't ask what the blackmail was about. I checked I checked Ye Zi's computer, letters, etc., but there is no clue."

"The only clue is the group photo. The content of the blackmail must have something to do with that orphanage." Mo Chuan rubbed his chin and said, "After checking for so many days, is there still no news about that orphanage?"

"Although there is not much information, that orphanage is really weird." Xia Yang found out a bunch of folders again, "This orphanage has always been open in a very remote place, far away from the city, and rarely communicates with the orphanage." There are exchanges with the outside world, except for a fixed person who goes out to buy once a week, other people, including children, never go out..."

Xu Mu interrupted Xia Yang's words impatiently: "Maybe he is poor, so he can't afford a good place, nor can he afford transportation expenses."

"No, it's indeed a bit abnormal. Children around ten years old are just naughty, so there's no reason for them to stay in such a small courtyard without going out." Shen Xiuping opened his mouth, refuting Xu Mu's opinion.

Xu Mu usually has a hot temper, and would often quarrel with others when he disagreed with others, but he was a little different with Shen Xiuping, when he saw his objection, he didn't get angry, he just snorted and stopped talking.

Under Mo Chuan's signal, Xia Yang continued to speak: "Besides, it is the dean of this orphanage. This dean is called Zhang Deming. He was born in 1955. He is famous in society for his charity and high morals. There have always been people who want to He wanted to adopt the children in his yard to help him share the pressure, but he refused all of them on the grounds that the children were too young and dependent on him, and he was reluctant. But ten years ago, he suddenly began to accept the adoption application, and in In a short period of time, most of the children were sent out, and not long after, the orphanage was disbanded, and the principal passed away."

"I think there's something wrong with this dean. He's probably a big villain in a good man's skin." After Xia Yang finished reading the materials, he didn't forget to conclude.

"You know how to read." Mo Chuan couldn't help laughing, "What about Su Ruliu? Did you find anything?"

"This is even more strange. According to Su Ruxu, her sister's disappearance ten years ago should have been a big event at the time, but not only was there no response in the news, even the police records found nothing, and At that time, the household registration system was not perfect, children who grew up in poor orphanages may not even have a legal identity, if there is no this photo, no one would know that there is such a person as Su Ruliu."

"The girl disappeared for no reason, yet no one reported it?" Mo Chuan frowned tightly.

"In the case of the Sunflower Orphanage, it's easy to do. The children stay at home, and the Orphanage doesn't accept outsiders. No one knows who these children are or what they look like. As long as the people inside don't It is revealed that the news of the child's disappearance cannot be spread at all." Bai Sujin analyzed.

"Xia Yang, you and Su'er continue to follow up, and report any new news at any time." Mo Chuan ordered.

"Yes." The two replied.

Most of the people in the office went out, Mo Chuan remained silent for a rare time, his mouth was always restless, unexpectedly this time it was so quiet, Bai Sujin felt a little uncomfortable, turned to look at him, but found Mo Chuan's His eyes were slack, and he didn't know where his mind wandered for a long time, and he thought that the other party always looked at him thoughtfully recently, coupled with the wandering mind from time to time...

Something is wrong... Bai Sujin frowned.

A bell rang in the office suddenly, calling back Mo Chuan's attention. Shen Xiuping answered the phone, listened to the report on the other side, and nodded.

"Su Ruxu has been transferred to Qingshan Hospital. She is a murderer. There are people guarding her in the bureau, but visits are prohibited, and she cannot be questioned for the time being." Putting down the phone, Shen Xiuping relayed.

"It doesn't matter." Bai Sujin turned her head to look at the door of the serious crime team's office, where a boy was looking around, "We still have someone who can ask questions."

Wu Haoyan sat alone in the interrogation room, looking a little sad, sitting still with his head down.

"Do you think he will tell the truth?" Mo Chuan looked at the restless Wu Haoyan through the one-way glass, and asked the man beside him softly.

"... Yes, and no." Bai Sujin answered the question, but her attention was all on Mo Chuan.

Looking at Wu Haoyan, Mo Chuan always felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that a few days ago, he saw lively and sunny students, but in just a few days, some of them died, some went crazy, and some, But also to bear the sorrow that the living have to bear.It was the first time that Mo Chuan felt the same feeling when life passed away so easily.

"Su Jin..." He turned his head to look at the other party, and just met his focused eyes. Mo Chuan was stunned, hesitated, and said what he wanted to say just now, "If we can see through Su Ruxu earlier trick..."

"I understand what you mean." Bai Sujin interrupted him, "If we found out earlier, if we could solve the case faster, if we could catch the murderer right away... Maybe those people wouldn't die."

"Mo Chuan, in this world, there are no ifs. We can only regret and cannot change." Bai Sujin's eyes contained something that Mo Chuan could not understand, "There is a reason for a person's life and death Yes. No one will be born because of others, nor will he die because of others. Life and death are the cause and effect of only one person.”

"But you are right, our movements are too slow." He walked towards the interrogation room, "speed up."

"Ah, it's you guys!" Seeing the acquaintance, Wu Haoyan looked relieved.

"Mr. Wu, you must already know what happened, right?" Mo Chuan handed over a glass of water, "Now is a sensitive period, you came here, you must have something to say, right?"

"Mr. Police! You must have wronged Ruxu!" Wu Haoyan became agitated, "It is impossible for Ruxu to kill someone. She was with me that night!"

"What?" Mo Chuan was a little surprised, and exchanged a look with Bai Sujin.

"Mr. Wu, on the night of the incident, we found Su Ruxu in Ye Zi's house. She was sitting there with a knife in her forehand, covered in blood. And she has already admitted her crime." Bai Sujin said in a deep voice. Said, "Unless there are two Su Ruxus in this world, otherwise, it is impossible for you to be with her."

"But...but..." Wu Haoyan was tongue-tied, "It's impossible. I called Ruxu the other day, but she cried on the phone, so I went to her house to look for her, but she ran down by herself, saying that the house It's terrible, she's going to live in my house, I... I'll take her home."

"Su Ruxu's twin sister, you should remember?" Mo Chuan asked suddenly.

"Sister...?" Wu Haoyan's expression became a little strange, as if he was covering up something, "You mean Su Ruliu...?"

"That's right." Mo Chuan nodded, "The person who was with you that day should be Su Ruliu."

Wu Haoyan had an unbelievable expression on his face: "You mean Ruliu is still alive? Is this true?"

Mo Chuan took out Su Ruliu's photo and handed it to him: "It should be. Now she is related to Lin Xinran and Yang Xun's case, and she is an important suspect."

"This... there is such a thing..." Mo Chuan held the thin photo paper, his voice was a little choked, "Ru Xu and Ru Liu have looked exactly the same since they were young, and their relationship is very good... Ru After Liu's accident, everyone was very sad, but within a few days after that, I was adopted and taken to another place, and then there was no news of her..."

"I always thought that she was dead... I didn't expect..." Wu Haoyan's voice gradually dropped.

"Mr. Police, Ruliu and Ruxu have been very kind children since they were young. They won't kill people. You must have misunderstood them..." Wu Haoyan raised his head slightly, and looked at Mo Chuan with a slightly pleading expression.

"The current situation is like this. All the evidence points to the two of them." Mo Chuan said, "Judging who is the murderer depends on evidence. If you think they are not the murderer, then show evidence to prove what you say."

Wu Haoyan's expression became very tangled, as if hesitating about something that was difficult to say.

"I...I can indeed tell you...some things about that orphanage, because I don't want to see the two of them charged with murder." Wu Haoyan stammered, "But I hope these things will not be made public. .”

"Okay, you can tell." Mo Chuan nodded and promised: "I promise that only our serious crime team will know what you said."

"The dean of the orphanage is a man named Zhang Deming, about 50 years old. Everyone thinks he is a respected, kind, and kind man. Only us children know that he is an out-and-out pervert." Wu Haoyan said in a flat voice. While talking, the hands on the table quietly clenched into fists.

"The reason why he is willing to take care of us orphans is not for charity or sympathy for us at all. He just wants to use us helpless children to satisfy his perverted hobbies." Wu Haoyan's eyes were full of hatred "He has pedophilia. This is the Sunflower Orphanage, the biggest secret."

"From the time I was five years old, he showed his true colors. Until I was eight years old, I will never forget those three years. The twelve children in that orphanage, each of them, I will never forget that orphanage, and I will never forget that beast in human skin!" Wu Haoyan clenched his teeth and his voice became hoarse.

Both Mo Chuan and Bai Sujin couldn't hide the surprise on their faces. They didn't expect such an answer. Zhang Deming is such a person. It's unimaginable. Ten years ago, these helpless orphans had to go through what.

"The nightmare lasted for a long time, we couldn't leave the orphanage, and there was no one to turn to. Some of us are strong, even if we are treated cruelly, we can still face each day with a smile, just like Ruxu and Ru Liu; but there are also some people who are gradually unable to bear this kind of torture and become depressed and gloomy day by day, just like Ye Zi and Yang Xun... As for me, if it weren't for Ru Xu, I wouldn't be able to hold on. gone."

"Until that day, Ruliu disappeared." Wu Haoyan's face was filled with sadness, "We searched every corner of the orphanage, but there was nowhere..."

"After a few days, we were adopted one after another. I was taken away from the city. I tried my best to force myself to forget everything in the orphanage and live a normal life. I didn't talk to anyone. I mentioned the past experience, those things are too dirty, I prefer to pretend that they never existed... Everyone else is probably the same, so even if it is related to a murder case, I don’t want to tell it. But Now that Ruxu and Ruliu are being regarded as murderers, I have to say it."

"Even if you tell us this, it doesn't prove that they are not murderers." Mo Chuan was a little confused.

"Of course, there are others." Wu Haoyan showed a wry smile, "I received this letter not long after Yang Xun died, and the sender was none other than Zhang Deming."

Wu Haoyan took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Mo Chuan: "I always thought that Zhang Mingde was dead, but now it seems that's not the case."

Mo Chuan frowned, reached out to open the envelope, and took out the letter. Bai Sujin came over and read it with him.

A piece of the most common white paper, the content on it is also very concise, it is twelve names, Bai Sujin scanned it roughly, and found the names of Wu Haoyan, Lin Xinran, Yang Xun, Su Ruxu and Su Ruliu, After a brief thought, I guessed that this was the list of twelve children from the orphanage.Among them, the names of Lin Xinran and Yang Xun have been crossed.

"I received this letter after Yang Xun's death. I didn't expect Ye Zi to have an accident now..."

"Threat letter. But... this may not be sent by Zhang Mingde, it may be someone else." Bai Sujin looked at the other party meaningfully, "For example, Su Ruliu, Su Ruxu, or... you."

"Me?" Wu Haoyan was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Bai, stop joking, why would I send such a letter to scare myself?"

Bai Sujin stared at him, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, and said nothing more.

"It doesn't matter whether the sender is Zhang Mingde..." Wu Haoyan looked at Mo Chuan with sincerity in his eyes, "Officer Mo, I hope you can investigate, Ruxu and Ruliu are both very good girls... I don't want They were wrongfully framed."

"We will investigate as soon as possible." Mo Chuan put away the threatening letter and said to Wu Haoyan, "Mr. Wu, your life is in danger now, we will send someone to protect you, if possible, I hope you can ask the school for leave , just stay at the police station and don’t run around. Thank you for your cooperation.”

"One more question." Seeing the other party nodding cooperatively, Bai Sujin continued to ask, "Ye Zi is suspected of blackmailing Su Ruxu. Do you know what she used to blackmail?"

Wu Haoyan shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.
