Chapter 608 Ge Shuiyun's Notebook
In the early morning, a fire cloud gradually appeared on the horizon.
Outside the Yunshui Inn, more than a dozen criminal police officers stood here, looking at the building in front of them.
This may not be the first crime scene, but it is a very important part of the whole case.
Important, but unnecessary.
The murderer could have killed the three victims directly in Jingcheng without doing such a thing, but he did something unconventional.
There must be a reason for being unconventional. Maybe the murderer's psychology is not normal, or maybe this incident has a special meaning to the murderer.
"Chen Xun, what should we do next?" The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, and Chai Ziyi spoke.
It can be basically confirmed that the inn owner Wu Changchun has a big problem. He should be Ge Guangsheng himself. As long as he confesses and tells the truth, the case investigation will usher in major progress.
Even, the case will be closed directly.
However, under the results of DNA personal identification and kinship identification, Wu Changchun still chose to act, not only "wearing" a green hat on himself, but also "wearing" a green hat on his father.
Everyone knows he is lying, but the logic is sound, and the two green hats can indeed explain the current situation.
If there are no new clues, it will be difficult to move forward with the case.
Chen Yi stared at the building in front of him, without answering Chai Ziyi's question, he was thinking.
Where is the loophole?
Where is the easiest point to break through in the whole incident?
Let's sort out the existing clues first, and then add speculation...
First of all, Wu Changchun is Ge Guangsheng, and Ge Guangsheng is the murderer in this case.
Since Ge Guangsheng is the murderer in this case, and his daughter Ge Shuiyun is missing, then Ge Guangsheng's motive for killing must come from his daughter.
Whether it is revenge for his daughter has not yet been determined, let's assume that it is revenge for his daughter.
What happens after revenge?
How does he deal with his daughter's body, permanently preserve it or sleep it underground forever?
"Ge Guangsheng didn't hesitate to kill three people, which shows that he loved his daughter very much. If he buried her, would he bury her close to him?"
"When I miss her, I can go and see her. Every year on her death anniversary, I can go and burn incense."
Thinking of this, Chen Yi turned his head to look at the small town of Shidu on his left. The broken walls and ruins were extremely desolate. The wind blew up the dust, making the whole town hazy and illusory.
After a moment of silence, he retracted his gaze and looked to the right, where the dead tree was.
The three victims - or the bodies used for substitution, were hung here three times in a row, swaying with the wind and sand in Shidu.
Chen Yi continued to move his eyes, focusing on the plants on the ground.
There are also plants growing in the barren town of Shidu, and the most common one is agave.
Looking around, you can see many agaves scattered around. Its leaves are narrow and sharp, with a circle of fine serrations on the edges, which even appear cold in the weak morning light.
The leaves spread out radially from the center to the surroundings, layer upon layer, forming vortices. This is a defense against the outside world and also a display of their own vitality.
Looking at these agaves, Chen Yi walked towards the dead tree.
Behind him, the criminal police followed.
There were also agaves around the dead tree, about two or three plants. Chen Yi squatted down and looked at one of them. There was an inflorescence in the center that was about to bloom. It curled up in the leaves in a low-key manner, as if waiting for a sacred moment to come.
The light yellow and white formed a sharp contrast with the dark green leaves around it, adding gentleness to the environment and also adding expectations.
After blooming, the yellow and white will turn into yellow-green.
Agave, a symbol of tenacity and hope, is drought-resistant and has good soil adaptability like cacti, which supports them to thrive in desolate land.
Chen Yi reached out and touched the leaves, and suddenly said: "Go get the tools, dig up all the surrounding agaves, and dig deeper."
The police officers took the order and turned around and walked away quickly.
Chai Ziyi said: "Chen Xun, do you suspect that there are bodies or ashes buried underground?"
Chen Yi stood up: "I don't know, let's dig it. If we are lucky, we may get unexpected gains."
Chai Ziyi nodded: "The logic is reasonable. Burying your daughter close to you can occasionally burn incense."
After speaking, he looked back at the inn and continued: "Maybe we can also dig the yard. It is impossible to judge the living soil after so many years. We can only dig a little bit."
Listening to the two people's words, Han Qiu carefully looked at the ground around the dead tree and found no traces of incense ashes and memorial services. Everything was natural.
It is a possibility after all. We will know after digging.
The police officers returned quickly, holding shovels and hoes in their hands, and some carried small shovels to prepare for the delicate work that might appear. If they really dig something, they need to be careful.
Chen Yi and the other two stepped back a few steps, watching the police officers digging hard against the wind to prevent choking.
The agave was uprooted in a short time, and the soil kept flying out of the pit, most of which was piled up next to it, and a small part was blown away by the wind.
As time went by, the pit became deeper and deeper. Suddenly, one of the pits seemed to have dug up a foreign object. The two police officers who were working immediately stopped their actions, squatted down and slowly cleaned it with a small shovel.
Seeing this, Chen Yi and the other two came over and looked into the pit.
It was vaguely visible that it was plastic.
"Use your hands." Chen Yi ordered.
The police threw away the shovel and used his hands to hold the soil. The area of plastic was getting larger and larger. It was a plastic bag.
"Take it out."
The police officer took out the plastic bag, and the remaining soil on it poured down.
During the process, Chen Yi had already put on gloves. He took the plastic bag and carefully placed it on the ground to open it. He found a notebook inside.
The cover was pink with cartoon characters drawn on it. It should be a girl's notebook.
Chen Yi opened the first page.
On the blank butterfly page, there were three beautiful words written - Ge Shuiyun.
Seeing these three words, Chen Yi's face froze slightly, and he immediately turned to the second page of the notebook, and then said: "Dig up all the agaves within 50 meters around, and there is a discovery report.
Let's go in."
Holding the notebook, Chen Yi returned to Yunshui Inn, found a random seat to sit down, and opened the notebook again.
"This is Ge Shuiyun's diary."
Diary? !
Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu hurried over, standing behind Chen Yi on the left and right, and the three of them browsed the contents of the diary together.
The diary buried in the soil is likely to contain important clues.

*Year*Month*Day
Friday
Rain
The raindrops outside the window tapped the glass gently, and each drop seemed to fall on the lake of my heart, stirring up ripples.
Today, the rain seemed to be crying for me too.
I love dancing. For me, dancing is not only the rhythm of the body, but also the way I talk to the world. I long for the stage, the competition, and the proof of myself. However, accidents always come unexpectedly, and all the beauty was broken in the winter a few months ago.
I have acute myelitis.
This is a disease that can be cured, but it was delayed last fall.
The doctor asked me to have a follow-up visit, but I didn't take it seriously. Don't blame him, he is a good doctor.
There were many people who died in the funeral home those days, and my father was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep, and he didn't take it seriously.
Maybe this is God's will, and no one can be blamed.
When I wrote this, I could feel that the strength of my legs was getting weaker and weaker. Maybe after a while, it would be very difficult for me to even stand up.
Today, the world of rain curtains is much more blurred.
Dance has become my unattainable dream. I can't stand on the stage, not even once, and I have lost the qualification to pursue the dream of Taohua Award Dance Competition. Let it become an eternal memory.
The rain will stop, but the dream will be broken. I hope God can give me another way to let me shine my light in a corner of the world.
Good night, my dream.
May you still be gorgeous in another world.
…
After reading the first diary, Chen Yi and the other two realized that Ge Shuiyun started writing the diary after she became ill and realized that she could no longer dance.
From the lines, it can be seen that she loves dancing, and even dance has become a part of her life, but she has not made dance a career.
Ge Shuiyun is very desperate after losing dance.
However, it seems that she has no idea of committing suicide for the time being.
Chen Yi turned to the second diary.
In the second diary, Ge Shuiyun recorded her nostalgia for her mother.
She has memories of her mother because she occasionally saw her when she was a child, but as time went by and she got older, she saw her mother less and less.
Until elementary school and junior high school, she never saw her again.
Later, Ge Shuiyun realized that her mother must have a new child.
She went to ask her father, but all she got was his dissatisfaction and abuse towards her mother. After many times, she dared not ask again.
Ge Shuiyun was very confused. Why did her mother never come to see her again? Even if she had a new child, would she no longer be a child?
[Mom, I may not be able to walk in the future. While I can still walk, can you take a walk with me so that I can stand and hug you. ]
[Good night, Mom, I am very sad today. ]
In contrast, Ge Shuiyun's mood was visibly lost, and she had a taste of depression.
Continue to turn the pages.
There are many diaries, and each one has obvious changes in emotions. Ge Shuiyun resigned due to illness. After the initial concern of her friends, they gradually became estranged. She spent more time sitting in the room and staring at the scenery outside the window, and was indifferent to the world and entertainment on her mobile phone.
It also mentioned Jingcheng Song and Dance Theater, which was also one of Ge Shuiyun's dreams. She hoped to perform there one day.
Finally, she went out, breathed the fresh air outside, and met someone.
Qiao Rui.
He didn't say hello, but just glanced at her from a distance.
Qiao Rui was very happy and blessed with his girlfriend.
Ge Shuiyun used two pages to record this incident, recording his first heartbeat, and his first love that was not his first love.
[Qiao Rui, I saw you that day. I haven't seen you for many years. You are still as handsome, charming, and confident as you were in high school. ]
[I wanted to muster up the courage to tell you that I like you. It's not a confession of pursuit, but to tell you a fact, so that you know that there was a girl who had been paying attention to you silently. ]
[But the beauty next to you is so beautiful and eye-catching that I feel ashamed of myself. Only a girl like her can be worthy of you, unlike me... I will be disabled soon. ]
[Wish you happiness. ]
Seeing this, Chen Yi and the other two probably knew why Qiao Rui died.
Unprovoked disaster.
He did nothing wrong. He just ran into Ge Shuiyun when he went shopping with his girlfriend. The cause and effect in the world is so disgusting and difficult to understand.
The last diary entry was Ge Shuiyun's suicide note. She did not mark it as a suicide note, but the content was a suicide note.
She finally decided to leave this world, even though her motive for suicide was not sufficient.
It depends on whether the suicide is fully aware of the suicide. If the suicide believes that the world has nothing to be missed, he will resolutely embrace death.
After reading the last word, Chai Ziyi took a deep breath and said, "This is not revenge for my daughter, this is killing innocent people."
The diary did not mention the dance teacher Zhang Wenyang, but mentioned the doctor Xiang Shu and Qiao Rui from the tobacco bureau.
Ge Shuiyun gave the evaluation of Xiang Shu as [a good doctor]. The other party had reminded him to go for a follow-up visit. It was her own reason that she did not go, which had nothing to do with the doctor.
She did not blame the doctor.
She did not blame her father either.
Qiao Rui had nothing to do with Ge Shuiyun's life. It was just a chance encounter that allowed the two high school alumni to pass by each other.
Even Qiao Rui might not know Ge Shuiyun.
Xiang Shu's murder was barely justifiable, but Ge Guangsheng was really crazy and extremely cruel to include Qiao Rui in the death list.
"Guilty." Chen Yi closed the notebook.
Guilt?
Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu looked at each other.
Chen Yi said: "I think it was Ge Guangsheng himself who caused his daughter not to go for a follow-up visit. Unfortunately, the one in ten million chance happened to Ge Shuiyun. She really had a serious illness.
Out of twisted guilt, Ge Guangsheng had to put all the blame on others in exchange for peace of mind.
By killing people, he forced himself to believe that it was Xiang Shu and others who caused his daughter's suicide, not himself.
You are right, killing innocent people indiscriminately. He was not seeking revenge, he was doing it for himself."
Han Qiu frowned deeply. It was hard to imagine that there were such people: "Just because my daughter met her secret crush in middle school, she killed someone? What kind of brain circuit is this?"
Chen Yi picked up the notebook on the table, and Chai Ziyi replied: "It should not be just because of these, I I think... Ge Guangsheng and Qiao Rui may have met? We need to ask Ge Guangsheng himself what happened. "
Han Qiu nodded: "This is more reasonable."
Chai Ziyi: "He killed Qiao Rui but didn't kill his ex-wife, Ge Shuiyun's mother. It seems that he still can't bear it. After all, she is his daughter's biological mother."
Han Qiu: "I've been thinking about this too. No matter how you look at it, Ge Shuiyun's mother should have been killed before Qiao Rui. As Chai Zhi said... You can't bear it. Killing an acquaintance is more psychologically stressful than killing a stranger."
At this time, Chen Yi turned the notebook vertically and put his eyes on the edge of the book. He could see that one-third of the pages in the front were old and used. That was the diary he had just read, and the pages at the back seemed to have been used... too.
I didn't really pay attention to it just now. When people browse notebooks, they subconsciously turn from front to back, and rarely think that there are contents in the pages at the back.
Finding this, Chen Yi turned the notebook upside down and opened the last page.
Title: "The Moment of Dawn".
Content: Night and dawn interweave, the city is gently shrouded by a thin layer of fog, and even time seems to be lost in the haze.
At this moment, a bizarre case that shocked the whole city quietly occurred, breaking the tranquility of the early morning...
Novel?
This is a novel written by Ge Shuiyun, which seems to be a suspenseful criminal investigation theme.
Chai Ziyi and Han Qiu also saw it and came over again.
The novel is very short, only a few thousand words, with a rough structure and inconsistent plots. It should be the text that Ge Shuiyun wrote when he was bored, and there is no ending.
This is not the point.
The point is that the content is basically the same as the death process of Xiang Shu and the other two, and the latter is an upgraded version of the former.
