The governor died.

Like Bai Qi's way of death, he was still cut open his chest and dug out his heart, and then threw it aside as if he was throwing something dirty. He died in the county government hall. Interestingly, the plaque on his head had four big words hanging high with a mirror, which seemed to be satirizing something.

This is not a trivial matter. The governor sent by the emperor to inspect the political achievements of various prefectures and counties was assassinated. If the murderer could not be found, the adults would probably not be able to take advantage of it.

Before they could confirm whether the governor was the governor, the governor died. How could the missing case be investigated? Cheng Pu rushed back five days later, convinced that Bai Qi's master was the governor, and he also found some missing girls.

It turned out that the governor was an official of the court, but in fact he was engaged in private acts of forming cliques and private activities. He opened brothels, casinos and restaurants across the country to make money. When he saw beautiful women, he bought them when they could, and robbed them when they could not. In the past twenty years, nearly 2,000 women have disappeared in his hands. After these women came to him, they were obedient and obedient and trained them as gifts to other officials to pave the way for their careers. Those who were stubborn and steadfast were thrown into brothels to pick up customers after being cruelly played with, and were strictly guarded, either beating or scolding, and countless people were driven crazy and ravaged to death.

Since most officials have accepted bribes from the governor, they are unaware of the rights of this matter and choose to turn a blind eye.

After the death of the governor, the court issued an ultimatum, ordering the adults to find out the real murderer within half a month, otherwise he would be punished. After all, a high-ranking official died in this small county town in a confused manner. If there is no ghost in it, no one would believe it.

Originally, the governor wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of inspecting political achievements to deal with the group of people who made him unable to sleep or eat, but he did not expect that he would be the one who died in the end.

It was just the sunshine that day, and Eighteen was embroidering a handkerchief. The afternoon sun was warmly shining in the room. She sat quietly in front of the window, just like every day before.

At some point, the door was opened, and Xiaojiu walked in quietly. Behind her, the adults, scholars, Cheng Pu, and even those sent by the court to monitor the progress of the case.

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

Xiaojiu's eyes were filled with tears and he asked, "Zeba, how long have we known each other?"

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

Xiaojiu asked again: "Did you kill the governor? Did you kill the two Bai Qi...?"

Although they had already had evidence to make reasoning, Xiaojiu felt that if Shiba denied it at this moment, they would believe it. They would not only believe it, but also try their best to prove Shiba's innocence.

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

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

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

Xiba said: "They are my enemies."

"You have never lost your memory, right?" Xiaojiu suddenly stepped forward. She felt sad and was also very injured. What does this mean? It means that Shiba has been lying to them! "The night before the two Bai Qi and the adults died, I was very tired and slept very heavily. You did it, right?"

"I bought pills three times in the pharmacy." Eighteen admitted it all. 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 beside you in the middle of the night."

Xiaojiu suddenly turned his face away.

Shiba said again: "I lived for revenge. Both Bai Qi recognized me. One threatened me to see him at night, and the other threatened me to be obedient. I didn't like them to treat me like this, so I killed them. As for the governor... he caused my family to be destroyed. From the age of twelve to nineteen, he was his plaything for seven years. Just because I refused to surrender, he tortured me in every way. Who knew that I escaped and 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 admitted her crime in a gentle tone, as if it was nothing at all, as if she was just telling a simple little story.

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

"I don't know who the person I want 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 have known that I was also a member of the missing case." Shiba still held an unembroidered veil in his hand, and he felt a little regretful. "I want to thank you. If it weren't for your persistence in this case, I wouldn't be able to find my enemy. I just want to see what their hearts are. Why is there no difference between good people and bad people?"

The adult closed his eyes and opened again: "We didn't doubt you at first. It was Cheng Pu who discovered your abnormality. That day you met Bai Qi. He wanted to save you, but he saw that you two seemed to be old acquaintances. When he came back, he told us that we didn't believe it yet. You know, my sense of smell is very sensitive. I smelled Bai Qi on you. He only loved his daughter's fragrance, but you had the fragrance of flowers. Every time someone died, you had the smell of the murder scene. I don't think this was a coincidence."

Shiba clapped his hands happily: "Sir, really, is it as careful as his hair, any more?"

"Bai Qi went to the Xiuyi Pavilion to make an appointment with you, you asked him to meet there and then kill him."

"That's right."

"The physical evidence and files that were destroyed in the county government office were not the ones sent by Bai Qi, but you. After you settled down, there was a fire in the study. I always thought it was Bai Qi's work, but after Bai Qi died, I realized that it was not him, but 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 looked out the window, and the sun was gradually going to go down the mountain. "How can that be done? My enemy, I have to kill him in person."

"You are not Eighteen!" Xiaojiu growled. "Eighteen is not a murderer like you!"

"Murder?" Hearing these three words, Shiba suddenly smiled. His smile was ridiculous and cold, and it was completely different from her in daily life. "I used to be innocent and simple, treat people sincerely, but what did I get? My family died because of this. I was locked in a brothel for seven years, living a dark day! I lived so much that I was not as good as a dog! If I didn't kill him, I would let him trample on him, but you said I was a murderer? You kept calling me Shiba, but you didn't understand what kind of person I was at all!"

She became angry, her eyes were bloody, and her black pupils almost completely changed color, which made the officials and yamen runners unable to stop retreating, thinking that this was a monster. Shiba stood there and looked at Xiaojiu: "How good should I treat you? So what if I treat you, Master, Master, Brother Cheng Pu? I used to be a good person, but I have been treated like this, but you still want me to insist on being a good person?"

"What's the difference between good people and bad people? But they are all one heart, all red." Shiba murmured. Justice, axiom, law... what do these things represent? Even Xiaojiu, who is very good to himself, reacts to accusing him after hearing that he killed someone. "Don't they die? Can't I avenge myself? What's wrong with me?"

Yes, what's wrong with her?

What's wrong with her wanting to take revenge?

Shiba seemed to be asking, but there was no. Whether there was evidence or no evidence, if she hadn't deliberately left clues, would she really think they could find her?

Eighteen, who had never lost his memory, could only be the female ghost he used to be.

She attached herself to the body to fill the other party's obsession with revenge. But they felt that she had lost her memory, so she pretended to have lost her memory, because if the owner of this body was not dead, there would be something wrong with her mind and she could not remember anything. So the possessed female ghost could not get any useful information until she met Bai Qi.

Based on Bai Qi's reaction and the details and process of investigating the case, she gradually guessed in her heart who was going to kill. The first Bai Qi who kidnapped her, the second Bai Qi who helped the evildoer, and the culprit.

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

Remember everything.

"I know you these days, and I feel so happy. It's not in vain to come to this world." The female ghost touched the handkerchief in her hand and sighed. "It's a pity that we have no fate to be friends for life."

She was already trapped in the mud, unable to let go, and unable to escape, so she could only move forward step by step.

Slowly took out the dagger from the cuff. No matter where she was, the dagger would follow her. She used this dagger to cut open the chests of those people. At this moment, the dagger shone colorfully under the sunlight, 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 he is resurrected, he is not her king anymore.

The past is gone, and the lost will never be found. She put the dagger on her cheek and rubbed it, then kissed it lightly, smiled at the adults, and sent the dagger into her body.

Without time to stop everyone, the adult rushed over and hugged her soft body in his arms, his eyes full of tears. Shiba looked at him, but smiled: "I have never liked you. I... I... have someone I like..."

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

"I will never see him again..." Shiba smiled softly, grabbed the adult's hand and stuffed something to him. The adult's eyes stagnated and looked at Shiba, but saw that she smiled very meaningfully, "I am so lucky, this is my own... choice."

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

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

But the things that Eighteen gave to the adults were enough to prove his innocence, and to add the crime of colluding with enemies and traitoring the country to the dead governor.

It was a letter and a jade pendant.

Some people really collude with enemies and treason, but they are not adults, but governors. The governor is too careful and cannot trust anyone, so they have to carry these things with them even if they leave Beijing. Who knows that it is eighteen cheaper.

When the emperor saw conclusive evidence, he naturally would not blame the adults, but would commend him. He even promoted him to the prefecture for his outstanding performance. Once his term expired, he would naturally rise to the top with his ability.

Later, the scholar and Xiaojiu became kinship, Cheng Pu also married a wife, but the adults were always alone. He didn't know why he did this, and he had the idea of ​​getting married over the years, but whenever someone was a matchmaker for him, he would always think of the girl named Shiba a long time ago.

She said that she could not be tolerated in this world, that this was not her world, that she had never liked him.

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

So he couldn't help but think about who the person she liked was? Where was that person? Why couldn't he protect her and help her? But then he thought about it, in fact, he couldn't protect her.

What is justice? What is right? As a victim, Shiba committed several murders. They wanted to punish Shiba according to the laws of the state, but forced her to death. Is it right?

right.

wrong.
