She smiled happily. Was the Creator asleep when this generation was being formed? So many beautiful children were born, but is that a good thing or a bad thing?
"Jin'er, are you awake?"
Chu Feifan looked at Su Jin'er, who had opened her eyes for a long time but remained silent, only smiling.
Su Jin'er slowly sat up. Besides the three of them, there was another person in the room—Captain Xing, who was also frowning. However, it seemed like someone was still missing; it was too quiet around them.
But who was missing?
She tilted her head and thought carefully.
"Jin'er, do you remember what happened last night?" Zuo Yi asked softly.
Last night?
Images of horror flashed through her mind, and she suddenly widened her eyes.
Did she kill Ruan Hongmei?
But she clearly remembered that the stone had struck that head; why was it Ruan Hongmei? Why did it turn into her?
She held her head in pain.
"Jin'er, please say something! What exactly happened last night?" Zhuang Lingtian asked anxiously when he saw her silent.
Su Jin'er raised her head and said through tears, "If I say that I didn't kill her, would you believe me?"
Several people were stunned. Although they all wanted to say they believed her, all the evidence at the scene pointed to only the two of them being present, and there were only Su Jin'er’s fingerprints and Ruan Hongmei’s blood on that stone.
All the evidence pointed to her!
"Hmph! Even I don't believe it myself."
She didn't believe it either, because she remembered smashing that strange head, but for some reason, it had turned into Ruan Hongmei's head. Even if she told them what happened last night, would anyone believe her?
She closed her eyes, her face pale as paper.
"I believe she wasn't killed by you," Captain Xing suddenly spoke up.
Su Jin'er looked at him in surprise, then turned to say, "Thank you, but I think it's useless because there is no evidence."
Everyone fell silent; the room was eerily quiet.
Indeed, there was no evidence. Just relying on their belief was not convincing.
"So, Captain Xing, take me away!" Linyuan was dead, Ruan Hongmei was dead, and her heart was dead too.
Twice, her good friends had died before her eyes, and she was powerless to stop it. It was even possible that she was the killer of Ruan Hongmei. Everything seemed to be a trap set for her to jump into. Now that she had jumped in, shouldn't it all come to an end?
"I still need to hear what happened last night to make a judgment," Captain Xing said firmly.
Su Jin'er took a deep breath and began recounting from when she felt someone was spying on her in the dormitory until the moment she was discovered.
It felt as if she had exhausted all her strength. By the time she finished speaking, her body slumped against the pillow as if completely drained of energy.
The whole situation felt like a huge stone pressing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe.
"I need to get some fresh air." Chu Feifan stood up and walked toward the door, with Zuo Yi following him out.
The two took the elevator to the top floor.
The blue sky and white clouds made everything seem so beautiful, so wonderful that it was hard to believe there were so many dirty and sordid things happening in the world.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Yi asked.
Chu Feifan shook his head, but tears kept falling.
"Don't you believe her?"
"No, I don't know. I suddenly feel like this is all a scam, a huge scam that keeps getting bigger every day."
"Why do you say that?"
Chu Feifan shook his head again; he didn't know how to explain it. He just felt like a pawn being toyed with in someone else's hands.
"I know you think Su Jin'er is lying, right?"
Chu Feifan suddenly looked up: "Yes. At first, I thought she was a victim, but now there's a voice in my head, telling me that Su Jin'er is deceiving us. Everything is just a performance put on by her alone."
Zuo Yi remained silent, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"You know I never believed in demons, but ever since I went to my grandmother's house with Su Jin'er, I started to believe because I saw it. I saw the so-called evil spirit; it lunged at Jin'er, pressing its face against hers, trying to take over her body. This all happened right in front of me. But you know what? At that moment, I was really dumbfounded. I didn't know what to do until my grandmother scared that thing away. Then I came back to my senses, and Jin'er's face had that red mark on it. Up until that moment, I still believed she was a victim. But do you believe the story she told just now? Zuo Yi, do you believe it?"
Chu Feifan seemed to have lost his mind, perhaps not even knowing what he was saying.
"If ghosts really exist in this world, then everything that happened last night could be explained. But do they really exist? The events at Grandma's house were known only to the three of us, but who would believe us? If I tell you, would you believe me? Hmm?"
"I believe you, because the mark on Jin'er's face is the best proof." Zuo Yi pulled on Chu Feifan's collar and said, "Why do you doubt her? Your doubts are completely unfounded."
"There is evidence. Ruan Hongmei's death is evidence. She said she saw a head flying towards her and then it bit her. But you also saw it; the bite marks on her arm were clearly left by Ruan Hongmei. Where is the head?"
"Even if they were left by Ruan Hongmei, it might be because she suddenly went crazy, which is why Jin'er hit her with a stone." Zuo Yi looked at Chu Feifan incredulously. "Jin'er is your girlfriend; it's one thing not to believe her, but to doubt her? Are you even human? After being with her for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is? Idiot."
Zuo Yi punched Chu Feifan in the face, causing him to fall to the ground with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Yeah! I'm an idiot for doubting my own girlfriend. But do you know? That doubt has been ingrained in my mind for a long time; I don't even know when I started doubting her."
"If you no longer like her, then please let go and give someone else the chance to like her," Zuo Yi said coldly.
"What? If I don't like her anymore, you can like her? Hmm? You've always liked her, right? Otherwise, why would you care so much about her?"
"I like Linyuan."
"You're lying! From the very beginning, the person you liked was Jin'er. But Jin'er liked me, so you thought being friends and staying by her side wouldn't be bad. However, Linyuan likes you; you've noticed that too. So you pretended to like Linyuan so that you could continue being friends with us and stay close to Jin'er. In fact, I've always known; I just didn't want to expose it. Later, Linyuan died for you, and you felt guilty because she died for you while you didn't even like her. Yet you hinted to her that you liked her until she died without ever knowing she was deceived by a big liar like you, right?"
Chu Feifan's words nearly made Zuo Yi collapse. He struggled to hold himself up and said, "What you're saying isn't true; it's all lies."
"Is it? You can deceive others, but can you deceive your own heart?"
Zuo Yi stopped speaking and sat down on the ground in despair.
Everything was in chaos, a complete mess, tangled like a ball of yarn with no way to unravel it.
After a long while, Chu Feifan suddenly laughed, "Actually, we are all victims, victims of love, aren't we? Jin'er, inexplicably turned into a murderer, while the two of us who like her can do nothing but watch her get hurt time and again. We feel guilty, but at the same time, we are afraid, hoping this is all just a dream. But when we wake up, we find that everything is real. So we want to fall asleep again, but dreams will eventually come to an end."
The two of them lay on their backs on the ground.
The sky had turned gloomy at some point; even the heavens seemed to understand their feelings and began to drizzle lightly. Yet the two people lying on Tian Tai Mountain remained motionless.
The air in the room grew heavier; the three of them sat like stone statues, completely still. The silence was so profound that one could hear the sound of water dripping from the IV drip.
At that moment, the sound felt like a heartbeat on the verge of death, ready to stop at any moment.
Absolute silence could drive one mad!
Su Jin'er’s face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper. Her originally dark eyelashes appeared even darker now, accentuated by dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep, making her look even more haggard.
Her body trembled continuously, like leaves in the wind.
"Do you want to uncover the truth?" Captain Xing suddenly spoke, his voice booming like thunder.
Su Jin'er nodded, but what was the truth? Was it that she had killed someone?
"Then you must listen to me."
Su Jin'er nodded again.
The next day, a rumor began to spread throughout the school.
Su Jin'er has gone mad.
The news spread quickly; within an hour, the entire school knew about it.
Su Jin'er first disfigured herself, then was found in the woods behind the activity center, having brutally killed her roommate Ruan Hongmei. After that, she went insane.
At this moment, she has been sent to a mental hospital.
In the white hospital room, Su Jin'er sits quietly with her back to the door. Her thin figure seems as if a gust of wind could blow her away, like a Paper Man.
She has been assigned to a room alone, with no other patients allowed to disturb her. Of course, Captain Xing also instructed that no one could visit her without his permission.
The development of events is always so difficult to understand. One moment, she was a "female detective" trying to catch the murderer Killer; the next moment, she became the murderer Killer herself, locked away in a mental hospital for treatment.
The only thing more unpredictable than the weather is human nature.
