The governor is dead.

Just like Bai Qi's death method, he was still cut open his chest and dug out his heart, and then he threw it aside like a dirty thing. He died on the county government hall. What's interesting is that the plaque on his head reads the four characters of Mingjing hanging high, which seems to be ironic.

This is not a trivial matter. The governor who was sent by the emperor to inspect the political achievements of the states and counties was assassinated. If the murderer cannot be found, the adults may not be able to eat.

Before they had time to confirm whether the master behind the scenes was the governor, the governor died. How can the disappearance be investigated? However, Cheng Pu hurried back five days later, convinced that Bai Qi's master was the governor, and he also found some of the missing girls.

It turned out that the governor, who appeared to be a court official, was actually engaged in party-oriented activities in private. He has opened brothels, casinos, restaurants, etc. all over the country to collect money for himself. He saw beautifully born women, who could buy them, but they could rob and abduct them. For more than 20 years, nearly 2,000 women have disappeared in his hands. name. And after these women arrived in his hands, the obedient and obedient would be good for training. They were given as gifts to other officials to pave the way for their official career. Those with stubborn and steadfast personality were thrown into the brothel to pick up guests after being cruelly manipulated, and they were strictly guarded. There are countless people who have been beaten and scolded, who have been driven mad, and devastated to death.

And because most officials had accepted bribes from the governor, they didn't know the right to do so, so they chose to close one eye.

After the governor died, the court issued an ultimatum and ordered the adults to find out the real culprit within half a month, otherwise he would be accused. People believe.

Originally, the governor wanted to use the opportunity of inspecting his political achievements to solve the group of people who made him sleepless and sleepless, but he did not expect that he was the one who died in the end.

It happened to be in the sun on this day. Eighteen was embroidering a handkerchief. The afternoon sun was spreading warmly in the room. She sat quietly in front of the window, just like every day before.

At some point, the door was opened, and Xiao Jiu walked in lightly. She was followed by adults, scholars, Cheng Pu, and even people sent by the court to monitor the progress of the case.

Eighteen did not put down the needle and thread, nor looked back.

With tears in Xiao Jiu's eyes, he asked, "Eighteen, how long have we known each other?"

"For months." Eighteen smiled at her. "But I feel very kind. Although I have not known each other for a long time, I feel like family members."

Xiao Jiu asked again: "Did you kill the governor? Two white seven...Did you kill it?"

Although they already had the evidence to reason, Xiao Jiu felt that if the eighteen denied it at the moment, they would believe it. They will not only believe, but will desperately prove the innocence of Eighteen.

But Shiba replied lightly: "It's me."

Her voice was as soft and gentle as ever, with a soft ending, but this time everyone in the room felt cold all over. None of them wanted to believe that the slender woman in front of her, who seemed to be broken in one fell swoop, would be a cold-blooded murderer who cruelly cut her heart. "Why kill them?"

In fact, what adults want to ask more is: Why do you want to admit?

Eighteen said: "They are my enemies."

"You have never lost your memory, have you?" Xiao Jiu took a sudden step forward. She felt sad and hurt at the same time. What does this mean? It means that Eighteen has been lying to them! "The night before the two white seven and the adult died, I was very tired and slept very heavily. You did it, right?"

"I bought a drug at the drugstore three times." Eighteen all admitted. She smiled slightly and looked at the people in front of her. "After all, I don't want you to notice, I didn't sleep next to you in the middle of the night."

Xiao Jiu turned away suddenly.

Eighteen again said: "I live for revenge. Both white sevens recognized me. One threatened me to see him at night, and the other threatened me to be obedient. I didn't like them treating me like this, so I killed them. . As for the governor... he killed my family. From the age of twelve to nineteen, he had been his plaything for seven years, but because I refused to give in, he tortured me in every possible way, but I escaped. Saved by you. If you didn't save me, I would have died long ago."

"So, I don't lie to you. Now that you have found out, I will recognize them all."

She confessed the crime in a gentle tone, as if it was nothing at all, as if she was just telling a simple story.

"What are you staying in the county office for?" the scholar asked.

"I will not investigate the case myself. I don't know who the person I am going to kill is. I have been locked up for so many years and never knew their identity. If I hadn't seen Bai Qi, I wouldn't know that I was also a member of the disappearance case. "Eighteen's hands still hold the unfinished veil, which is a bit regrettable. "I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your persistence in this case, I couldn't find my enemy. I just want to see the color of their hearts. How can there be no difference between good people and bad people?"

The adult closed his eyes and opened them again: "In the first place, we didn't suspect you. Cheng Pu discovered your abnormality. On that day, you met Bai Qi, and he wanted to save you, but he saw you two. Old acquaintance, come back and tell us, we still don’t believe it, you know, my sense of smell is very sensitive, I can smell white seven in you. He only loves his daughter's fragrance, but you are the fragrance of flowers, every time you die , You have the smell of the murder scene, I don’t think this is a coincidence."

Eighteen happily clapped her hands: "My lord is as careful as a hair, is there any more?"

"Bai Qi went to Xiuyi Pavilion to make an appointment with you. You asked him to meet there and then killed him."

"That's right."

"The physical evidence and files destroyed in the county office were not the hands of the Baiqi sect, but you. After you stayed in, the study caught fire. I always thought it was Baiqi’s work, but I did it after Baiqi died. Understand that it is not him, but you. Only you have the time and opportunity to do this, why?"

"Because... if the material evidence is sufficient, you will apprehend Bai Qi and bring him to justice." Eighteen glanced out the window, and the sun was gradually going down. "How can it work, my enemy, I have to kill myself."

"You are not eighteen!" Xiao Jiu growled. "Eighteen is not a murderer like you!"

"Murder?" Eighteen suddenly laughed when they heard these three words. This smile was mocking and cold, but it was completely different from her in daily life. "I was innocent and innocent, and treated people sincerely, but what did I get? My family died because of this. I was locked up in a brothel for seven years and lived a dark life! I can't even live as a dog! I won't kill him. , So you want him to trample on him, but you say I am a murderer? You call me eighteen, but you don't know who I am!"

She became angry, her eyes glowing with blood, and her black pupils almost completely changed color, making the officials unable to stop retreating, thinking it was a monster. Eighteen stood there, looking at Xiao Jiu: "How can I treat you well? How about treating adults, sons, brother Cheng Pu? I was a good person once, but I have been treated like this, but you still want me to insist on doing it. A good person?"

"What is the difference between a good person and a bad person. But they are all one heart, all red." Eighteen murmured. Justice, axioms, law...what can these things represent? Even Xiao Jiu, who was very good to himself, heard that he was killing, the first reaction was to blame. "Don't they deserve to die? Can't I avenge myself? What's wrong with me?"

Yeah, what's wrong with her?

She wants revenge, what's wrong?

Eighteen seemed to be asking, but she didn't. Whether there is evidence or no evidence, if she didn't deliberately leave clues, do you really think they can find her?

Eighteen, who has never lost his memory, can only be the female ghost of her own for a short time.

She was attached to this corpse, filling the obsession with revenge for the other side. It's just that they think she has amnesia, so she pretends to have amnesia, because if the owner of this body is not dead, there is indeed something wrong with her brain, and she can't remember anything. So the possessed female ghost could not get any useful information until she met Bai Qi.

Based on Bai Qi's reaction, as well as the details and process of the investigation, she gradually guessed who was going to kill in her mind. The first white seven who abducted her, the second white seven who helped Zhou to abuse her, and the culprit.

And a long time ago, when she was still alive, she was so gentle and kind, thinking that the whole world was a good person. She thought she had forgotten, but in fact she remembered it all.

I remember everything.

"These days, I know you, and I feel so happy in my heart, and it's not in vain that I have been in this world." The female ghost touched the veil in her hand and sighed. "It's a pity, we don't have the fate to be friends for life."

She was already stuck in the mud, unable to let go, unable to get out, she could only move forward step by step.

Slowly remove the dagger from the cuff. No matter where she is, the dagger capital will follow her, she used this dagger to cut open the chests of those people. At this moment, the dagger was shining colorfully under the sunlight, extremely beautiful and dazzling.

The female ghost gently stroked the outline of the dagger, and she seemed to see a person through the colorful gems.

If he knew, he would definitely not want to be resurrected.

Even if it is resurrected, it is not her king anymore.

The past is gone, and the lost will never be recovered. She attached the dagger to her cheek and rubbed it, then gave a light kiss, smiled at the adult, and sent the dagger into her body.

Before everyone could stop, the adults rushed over and hugged her soft body in his arms, eyes full of tears. Eighteen looked at him, but smiled: "I never liked you. I...I...have someone I like..."

The adult shook his head and nodded: "Don't talk, don't talk..."

"Never see him again..." Shiba smiled lowly, grabbed the adult's hand, and stuffed him with something. The adult's eyes were stagnant, and he looked at Eighteen, only to see her smile very meaningfully, "My fate is like this, this is my own...choice...choice."

After speaking, she closed her eyes.

Eighteen is dead, the case is completely over, the murderer is dead, the victim is also dead, everything is over.

However, what the eighteenth plug gave the adult was enough for him to prove his innocence, and added a charge of collaborating with the enemy and traitor to the dead governor.

That is a letter and a token jade pendant.

There are really people who collaborate with the enemy to betray the country, but they are not adults, but the governor. The governor was too careful and couldn't trust anyone, so even if he left Beijing, he had to carry these things with him. Who knew it would be eighteen cheaper.

When the emperor saw the conclusive evidence, he would naturally not question the adults, but praised him, and even promoted him to a prefecture because of his outstanding performance. Once his term expires, he will naturally be able to rise to the top with his abilities.

Later, the scholar and Xiao Jiu became married, and Cheng Pu married a wife, but the adults remained alone. He didn't know why he wanted to do this, and he had thought of starting a family for many years, but whenever someone was a matchmaker for himself, he would always think of the girl named Shishi a long time ago.

She said that this world cannot tolerate her, that this is not her world, and that she has never liked him.

The more truthful it is, the more hurtful it is.

So he couldn't help but think, who is the person she likes? Where is that person? Why can't you protect her and help her? But then I thought about it, in fact, I didn't protect myself from eighteen.

What is justice? What is right? As a victim, Shiba committed several murders. They wanted to punish Shiba in accordance with the laws of the country, but forced her to death, right?

Correct.

wrong.
