Chapter 29: watch drama
On Sunday evening, the students in Chongming had all returned to school for evening self-study. The students in the entire teaching building are studying in full force, but the whiteboard of Class 37 and 7 is playing the web drama "Questioning a Crime" impressively.
This time, the seventh class performed well in the monthly exam, ranking first in the ordinary class. As a reward, the head teacher promised to show them a video for their self-study on Sunday evening.
The squad leader voted in the group, and finally Qiao Yu's "Guilty" won the broadcast opportunity with an absolute leading number of votes.
"Questioning Crime" was launched last night, but because it will be broadcast in the class tonight, all the classmates saved it and didn't watch it. The monitor put the film on it, and the class teacher also moved a chair and sat in the aisle. After all, this drama was performed by their classmates from Class 7, so of course he had to support it.
The second episode follows on from the previous episode. Yu Ge found Lin Yue, and saw from her micro-expression that there were doubts in her.
It was obviously an unbearable heat, and the hot air that came out of the room when the door was opened could also be inferred. There was no air conditioner in their house, and the fan couldn't help much in such weather, but the girl in front of her was wearing a long coat. long skirt.
"Can I come in and take a look?"
Lin Yue nodded and made way out.
The fan in the room was blowing, but it couldn't relieve the dryness. Lin Yue went to the small kitchen and poured him a cool cup.
After a few simple greetings, to get to know her current situation, Yu Ge began to cut to the point.
"In the current weather, will it be hot to wear long sleeves?"
"Fortunately, I'm used to it." Lin Yue frowned unconsciously.
Yu Ge continued to ask: "The weather is so hot, why are you wearing long sleeves?"
"Is this question related to my stepfather's case?" She was a little displeased.
Yu Ge looked at her, "I hope you can answer me."
Lin Yue moved her feet away from him, "because I have scars on my arms."
"Did your stepfather do it?"
"...otherwise." She raised the corner of her left lips.
"Do you hate him when he abuses you so much?" He looked her in the eyes.
"...Mr. Yu, I have an alibi."
"I know, I just want to hear your answer."
The girl's eyes began to evade.
Yu Ge increased his tone, "Lin Yue, tell me, have you ever hated him enough to kill him?"
"No, I never thought of hating him enough to kill him." She remained calm, but her tone rose, "I was underage at the time, so how could I have the guts to kill."
…
Yu Ge walked out of Lin's house, and the scenes of the conversation between the two just flashed across his mind.
She took her feet away from him, indicating that she had grown impatient with questions. The corner of one side of her mouth rose, indicating her contempt and disgust for the deceased. In the end, the tone of answering the question suddenly increased, and he repeated his question. His hands on his thighs were close to the seams of his trousers, and his index finger shook unconsciously...
This shows - she is lying.
Facing the abuse of her stepfather, she must have thought of killing him.
Is the murderer Lin Yue who lied?
It's only two episodes away, can it be that simple?
All the students in the class sat up and began to speculate with concentration.
For Yu Ge, it is meaningless to deny the truth or falsehood of what Lin Yue said. Lin Yue did have a motive for murder, but it could not convict her, nor could it mean that she did act.
At this time, the police who were looking for brought a new clue.
Lin Yue's stepfather once told his gambling friends that his stepdaughter had a concubine/head, and now she lives there and hasn't been home for a long time.
But when he came to the door, Lin Yue was clearly staying at his stepfather's house, and there was no dust in the house. The rag on the table and the mop in the corner were all dry.
She should have been staying at her stepfather's house lately.
What about her so-called concubine/head? The two separated just after the accident?
Yu Ge came to the door again, this time, he needed to know who the so-called concubine/head was and what role he played in this murder.
But Lin Yue flatly denied the existence of the concubine/head.
There is nothing left for Yu Ge without other evidence.
After seeing Yu Ge away, Lin Yue returned to his bedroom, took off his long coat, and revealed old brown wounds crisscrossing his back.
The camera zooms in on her eyes, which slowly darken. Time goes back to the first day she met that man.
That day, she knocked on the door opposite her stepfather's house.
The blood ran down her cheeks, blurring her eyes, she begged him blindly, and finally moved the man.
The man went to work, she treated the wound for herself, finally calmed down, mopped the floor stained with blood, and finally cleaned up his messy house before the man came back.
After doing everything, she fell asleep on the sofa.
The man came back in the early morning, and the sound of the door closing loudly woke her up, but she didn't open her eyes. He didn't go to sleep, but sat opposite her, lit a cigarette in his hand, Lin Yue opened his eyes slightly, and saw a little fire in his hand.
He didn't seem to be smoking, and he only threw it into the ashtray when the cigarette in his hand was burnt out.
In her panic, he didn't wake her up.
Lin Yue got up very early the next day and walked into the kitchen lightly to make breakfast for him.
But it still woke the man who was sleeping lightly.
She heard footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, the man was still wearing the white shirt from last night, with a strong smell of alcohol, with one hand by the door, his face full of impatience.
"What are you doing?"
"...I'm cooking porridge." She pursed her lips, "I drank wine the day before, and white porridge the next day can nourish my stomach."
"Mind your own business." The man turned his head and left, "Don't disturb my sleep."
Lin Yue found that although he was rude, he was still good at talking, and he didn't seem to be very old. If he didn't have a job, he would probably still be studying.
There were no books and newspapers in the man's house, so she couldn't even pass the time, so she lay on her side on the sofa and waited for him to wake up.
The man slept until 1 o'clock in the afternoon and didn't wake up. He didn't seem to expect her to be there. When he saw her sitting on his sofa, his whole face was written with impatience, "Why don't you leave?"
"sorry…"
Lin Yue actually knew that she shouldn't be in a man's house, but she didn't dare to go back to her stepfather's house. She dropped out of middle school after finishing junior high school. Because she was a minor, she could only carry dishes in the fly house. No one she knew could provide her with a small shelter.
"I'm sorry..." Lin Yue bit her lip, "I dare not go back, my stepfather will kill me..."
"Please take me in for a while, I'll leave as soon as I find a house, and I can also give you half of the rent..." She kept saying.
"Is he your stepfather?" The man smoked a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Yes…"
"Your mother doesn't care about you?" He squinted at her.
"My mother works in another province and is not at home."
He didn't ask any more questions, and the two faced each other in silence.
After pretending for a long time, he said: "I don't charge you for the money, but at most one month, if you find a place, you can move out."
Lin Yue stayed like this. When her stepfather went out to play cards, she went home to pack her luggage, and took away the private money that had been hidden for a long time. The restaurant owner also quit her job.
She will be an adult in ten days and can find a job in a factory and live in the factory dormitory in the future.
She also knew the man's name, Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's three meals are extremely irregular. Not only is he not punctual, but he also eats either takeout or instant noodles, but Lin Yue will use the only bag of rice in the kitchen to cook porridge for him after staying.
Once the bar was disturbed, he was pushed up by the boss, and a wine bottle was hit on the back of his head. Lin Yue also bandaged him. After doing all this, she whispered softly at his wound, but met his strange gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"fine."
The two of them sat in the dilapidated rental house, like two little beasts hugging each other for warmth.
Since that day, Chen Yi has become gentler a lot.
…
Memories so far.
Lin Yue in front of the screen took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly.
That's the end of the episode.
In the preview of the next episode, the disheveled Lin Yue pounced on the iron door in front of Chen Yi's house desperately. When the camera turned, Yu Ge reappeared at the door of Lin Yue's house and bumped into a couple who were carrying luggage in the opposite door.
The viewing of the evening self-study was over, and the classmates began to discuss in a low voice.
"I think the murderer should be Lin Yue. In the trailer, she seems to be persecuted by her stepfather again, so I think she killed him in a rage, and then Chen Yi handled her body, so she has an alibi."
"Why did Chen Yi help her? I don't think Chen Yi liked her enough to handle the body for her." A girl retorted, "The feeling of handling the wound is just a little good."
"Yes, I feel that Chen Yi is actually quite indifferent, and he didn't act bravely when the woman in the back alley of the bar was dragged away."
"Don't pay attention to the plot, I just have an idea after reading it, Qiao Yu is so handsome."
"Really! The part with the cigarette in my mouth I'm dead!" The girl in the back seat nodded frantically.
"A man like this is actually my classmate, it's worth it in this life!"
Ye Xiguang sat at the back, listening to the people in front discussing the person he had wanted to see for a long time, without saying a word.
When Qiao Yu left, his motivation to contact the outside world was gone, so he retracted into his shell.
He had already watched "Inquiry" once when it went live on Saturday, and today is the second time.
In fact, he doesn't really want to watch it again, because even if it's fake, he still feels sad for Chen Yi's tenderness towards Lin Yue in the online drama.
But there are too few opportunities to see him. The last time I heard about him was when "Operation White Tower" was completed.
In the photo, he is wearing white clothes and white pants, holding flowers and smiling gently.
He printed the photo, put it in the notebook where he wrote the manuscript, and rubbed it many times.
Ye Xiguang knew that this was abnormal. He could even imagine Qiao Yu's disgusted expression after learning about it, but he couldn't control himself.
All girls can express their liking for him generously. Obviously, three-point superficial heartbeat can be said to be very loving, but he can't show a single point.
He is the most secretive Sunstrider.
