Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: The forty-third bowl of soup (ten)

Lord Governor is dead.

Similar to Bai Qi's death method, he still had his chest cut open and his heart dug out, and then tossed aside as if he were throwing away something dirty. He died in the county court. What's interesting is that the plaque on his head reads the four characters "Der Spiegel" hanging high, which seems to be satirizing something.

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 could not be found, the adults may have to eat and walk around.

The governor died before they could confirm whether the mastermind behind the scenes was the governor. How can the disappearance be investigated? However, Cheng Pu rushed back five days later, convinced that Bai Qi's master was the governor, and he also found some of the missing girls.

It turns out that on the surface, the governor is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, but in fact he is doing a party and private business in private. He has opened brothels, casinos, restaurants, etc. all over the country to make money for himself. When he sees beautiful women, he buys them if he can, and robs or kidnaps them if he can't. For more than 20 years, nearly 2,000 women have disappeared from his hands. name. And after these women got into his hands, the obedient and obedient ones would be easy to teach and give to other officials as gifts to pave the way for their careers, while those who were stubborn and stubborn were thrown into the brothel to pick up guests after being cruelly played, and they were strictly guarded. , if they were beaten or scolded, they were driven crazy, and there were countless people who were beaten to death.

Because most of the officials had accepted bribes from the governor, they didn't know what to do with this matter, and invariably chose to turn a blind eye.

After the death of the governor, the imperial court issued an ultimatum, ordering the adults to find out the real murderer within half a month, otherwise he would be charged. Nobody really believed it.

Originally, the governor wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect his performance to get rid of the group of people who made him sleepless, but he was the one who died in the end.

The sun was shining on this day. Shiba was embroidering a handkerchief. The afternoon sun was shining warmly in the house. She sat quietly by the window, just like every day before.

I don't know when, the door was opened, and Xiao Jiu walked in lightly, followed by adults, scholars, Cheng Pu, and even people sent by the imperial court to monitor the progress of the case.

Eighteen did not put down the needle and thread and did not look back.

Xiao Jiu's eyes flashed with tears and she asked, "Eighteen, how long have we known each other?"

"It's been months." Eighteen smiled at her. "But I feel very cordial. Although I haven't known each other for a long time, I feel like family."

Xiao Jiu asked again: "Did you kill the governor? The two white sevens... did you kill them?"

Although they already had evidence and reasoned, Xiao Jiu felt that if Eighteen denied it at the moment, they would all believe it. Not only would they believe it, but they would also try their best to prove Shiba's innocence.

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

Her voice was as soft and gentle as always, with a soft ending, but this time everyone in the room felt cold. None of them wanted to believe that this slender woman in front of her, who seemed to be broken when she broke off, would be a cold-blooded murderer who cut people's hearts cruelly. "Why kill them?"

In fact, what adults want to ask is: why admit it?

Eighteen said: "They are my enemies."

"You've never lost your memory, right?" Xiao Jiu took a 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 Bai Qi and the adults died, I was very tired and slept very deeply. You did it, right?"

"I've bought meds three times at the pharmacy." Eighteen all admitted. She smiled slightly and looked at the people in front of her. "After all, I don't want you to notice that I didn't sleep beside you in the middle of the night."

Xiao Jiu turned her face away suddenly.

Eighteen said again: "I live for revenge, two Bai Qi recognized me, one threatened me to see him at night, the other threatened me to be obedient, I don't like them treating me like this, so they They killed them. As for the governor... He ruined my family. From the age of twelve to nineteen, he was his plaything for seven years. Just because I refused to give in, he tortured me in every possible way. Who knew I would escape? I came out, and I happened to be saved by you. If you didn't save me, I would have died long ago."

"So, I won't lie to you. Since you found out, I will recognize them all."

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

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

"I can't investigate the case myself, and I don't know who I'm going to kill. I've been locked up for so many years, and I've never known their identities. If I hadn't seen Bai Qi, I wouldn't have known that I was also a missing person. One of the members." Shiba still held the unfinished handkerchief in his hand, a little regretful. "I also want to thank you. If it wasn't for your dedication to this case, I wouldn't be able to find my enemies. I just want to see what color their hearts are. How can there be no difference between good people and bad people?"

The lord closed his eyes and opened them again: "Originally, we didn't suspect you. It was Cheng Pu who noticed your abnormality. When you met Bai Qi that day, he wanted to save you, but he saw the two of you. People seem to be old acquaintances, come back and tell us, we still don't believe it, you know, my sense of smell is very sensitive, I smell the smell of Bai Qi on you. He only loves his daughter Xiang, but you are full of flowers, every time I don't think it's a coincidence that you have the smell of a murder scene when someone died."

Eighteen clapped her hands happily: "Your Excellency is really careful, what else?"

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

"That's right."

"The physical evidence destroyed in the county government office and the files are not the hands of Bai Qi's people, but you. After you moved in, the study room caught fire. I always thought it was Bai Qi's actions, but Bai Qi died. Later I realized it wasn't him, it was you. Only you have the time and opportunity to do this, why?"

"Because...if there is enough physical evidence, you will arrest Bai Qi and bring him to justice." Shiba glanced out the window, the sun was gradually going down. "How can that be done, my enemy, I have to kill myself."

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

"Murderer?" Hearing these three words, Shiba suddenly laughed. This smile was sneering and cold, and it was completely different from the usual her. "I used to be naive and honest, but what did I get? My family died because of it, I was locked up in a brothel for seven years, living in darkness! I can't live better than a dog! I don't kill him , you want to let him trample, but you call me a murderer? You keep calling me eighteen, but you don't even know what kind of person I am!"

She became angry, her eyes were bloody, and her dark pupils almost completely changed color, causing the officials to retreat, thinking it was a monster. Shiba stood there, looking at Xiao Jiu: "How can I treat you? How about my lord, Young Master, Brother Cheng Pu? I used to be a good person, but I have been treated like this, but you still want me to keep doing it. A good guy?"

"What's the difference between a good person and a bad person. But they're all one heart, all red." Eighteen muttered. Justice, justice, law... what can these things represent? Even Xiao Jiu, who was very good to himself, after hearing that he had murdered, his first reaction was to accuse him. "Don't they deserve to die? Can't I avenge myself? What's wrong with me?"

Yeah, what's wrong with her?

What's wrong with her wanting revenge?

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

Eighteen, who never lost her memory, only briefly returned to her former ghost.

She is attached to the corpse, filling the other party's obsession with revenge. It's just that they thought she had lost her memory, so she pretended to have lost her memory, because if the owner of this body hadn't died, there would have been a problem with her brain, and she couldn't remember anything. So the possessed female ghost couldn't get any useful information until she met Bai Qi.

According to Bai Qi's reaction, as well as the details and process of the investigation, she gradually guessed in her mind who the people who were going to kill were. The first Bai Qi who kidnapped her, the second Bai Qi who helped Zhou to abuse her, and the culprit.

And a long time ago, when she was 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.

I remember everything.

"These days, I've known you guys, and I'm really happy in my heart, and I didn't come to this world in vain." The female ghost touched the handkerchief in her hand and sighed. "It's a pity that we are not destined to be friends for life."

She has long been trapped in the quagmire, she can't let go, she can't get out, she can only move forward step by step.

Slowly remove the dagger from the cuff. No matter where she is, the dagger will follow her, and she uses this dagger to open the chests of those people. At this moment, the dagger shone with colorful rays of light under the sunlight, which was extremely beautiful and dazzling.

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

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

Even if she is resurrected, she is no longer her king.

The past is gone, and the lost will never be found. She attached the dagger to her cheek and rubbed it, kissed again, smiled at the adult, and put the dagger into her body.

There was no time for everyone to stop her, and the adults rushed over and hugged her soft body in her arms, tears in her eyes. Shiba looked at him, but smiled: "I never liked you. I...I...have someone I like..."

The adults shook their heads and nodded: "Don't talk, don't talk..."

"I'll never see him again..." Shiba smiled lowly, grabbed the adult's hand, and stuffed something for him. The lord's eyes froze, and he looked at Shiba, only to see her smile especially meaningful, "My life is like this, it's my own...choice...choice."

After speaking, she closed her eyes.

Eighteen is dead, the case is over, the murderer is dead, the victim is dead, and everything is over.

But what Shiba gave to the adults was enough for him to prove his innocence and add a charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason to the dead governor.

It was a letter and a token jade pendant.

There are people who are really collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but not adults, but governors. The governor is too careful to trust anyone, so even if you leave the capital, you have to carry these things with you, who knows it's cheaper.

When the emperor saw the solid evidence, he naturally wouldn't accuse the adults, but rewarded him, and even promoted him to the prefecture because of his outstanding performance.

Later, the scholar and Xiao Jiu got married, and Cheng Pu also married a wife, but the adults were all alone. He didn't know why he did this. He had thought of starting a family for many years, but whenever someone matched him, he would always think of the girl named Eighteen a long time ago.

She said that there was no room for her in this world, that this was not her world, that she had never liked him.

The more truthful, the more hurtful.

So he couldn't help but wonder, who is that person she likes? Where is that person? Why can't you protect her and help her? But after thinking about it, in fact, he didn't have the protection of eighteen.

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

Yes.

Not true.
