Arrived at xx Mansion on Huaihai Road.
This area is in a prime location, a quiet escape amidst the hustle and bustle. The mansion is clearly an upscale residential complex, with residents wearing designer clothes and luxury cars constantly parked at the entrance. Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao used invisibility to make their way directly to Zhang's home.
It was around five in the afternoon, and the only person at Zhang's house was the cook, packing up to go out and cook. The house, at least 160 to 170 square meters, was spotlessly clean, with everything neatly arranged.
The little girl is not here.
Today is the weekend. Lu Cijiu looked at me and asked what to do.
"Found a girl's thing."
The two searched the girl's house, which had four bedrooms, three living rooms, and a utility room. The master bedroom was still clean, but Gong Xichao walked over to a corner and pointed at a cabinet door, which automatically opened, including the drawers.
A drawer full of furniture.
Lu Cijiu was furious when he saw this. He then looked at the locked wardrobe in the corner, where several very revealing clothes were hung. Judging from the size, they were suitable for children with small frames. On the bedside table, the couple surnamed Zhang were smiling kindly. The wife was tall and it was obvious that her size did not fit her.
bad language!
The couple shared the same wardrobe. Lu Cijiu didn't believe it, and the wife knew nothing about it and was also an accomplice.
"I really want to throw these in that idiot's face." Lu Cijiu was still not satisfied after cursing, but now was the critical moment to find the little girl. "Let's go and check in the other room."
The second bedroom is decorated like a little girl's room. If I didn't know that the Zhang couple were a bad couple, I would have been fooled by this decoration. The child's room has a balcony and an independent bathroom. It is decorated in pink like a little princess's room, and everything is expensive.
Material conditions can be deceiving.
The room was full of dolls, Barbie dolls, hairpins and so on. Gong Xichao shook his head, bent down to look under the bed, hooked his finger, and swept out an old little black dog doll from under the bed.
The little black dog looked a little gray, and it was obvious that the little girl loved it so much that she couldn't bear to give it up.
It’s pitch black under the bed, with no light. How could my beloved doll be here?
Lu Cijiu felt sad when he thought of the scared little girl sleeping under the bed with her doll in her arms. He was also raising a girl, although Dudu didn't call him dad.
"Did you find it?"
Gong Xichao felt the scene, didn't say anything, and teleported away while holding Lu Cijiu.
Lu Cijiu's heart sank as he saw Gong Xichao's frosty expression. That was the cram school building, an eight-story complex housing dance classes, musical instruments, and tutoring. Even before the classes were over, a crowd had already gathered in the open space outside the building, someone shouting in panic, "An ambulance! Call an ambulance!"
"A kid jumped off a building. He was a dance major."
Some little girls who were protected by their teachers looked at the person lying on the ground and cried out in fear, "It's Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen jumped off the building."
Outside the crowd stood a little girl in a dancing skirt, about twelve or thirteen years old, slender and thin, with a pointed chin, standing there numbly and dazed.
It’s Zhenzhen’s soul.
Lu Cijiu felt very uncomfortable and walked over. Zhenzhen shuddered, stepped back, and hid behind a tree. Lu Cijiu didn't want to go over, but half-knelt down and said, "Are you Zhenzhen? I'm Lu Cijiu, and he's Gong Xichao. We want to help you."
"Am I already dead?"
"Yes."
"Great. I'm dead, I'm clean..."
Lu Cijiu was sad when he heard this, but he said without showing it, "You look pretty, well-behaved and clean."
Zhenzhen is afraid of men, so Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao couldn't get close to her, nor did they want to force her. The onlookers dispersed, and the police and ambulance arrived. The teachers and students all talked about Zhenzhen.
"Family situation? Her family is very good. She's the only child of her parents. I've met her father. He's very kind and polite. He dotes on Zhenzhen and buys her everything she wants."
"Yes, Zhenzhen's dance dress has diamonds on it. They are really beautiful diamonds. I envy Zhenzhen so much. Why did she suddenly become depressed and jump off the building?"
"From what I know, Zhenzhen has no conflicts with her family. Her father is a professor at xx University, and her mother is an art teacher. I've never seen them argue. Her father loves her very much and often sends her to cram school."
…
Every word the Zhang couple said from an outsider's perspective was like a knife stabbing Zhenzhen.
Zhenzhen's suicide is just a reflection of a child's rebellious period, ignorance, and weak ability to withstand stress. I really don't know what she was thinking when she committed suicide despite having such a good family background.
Lu Cijiu looked at Zhenzhen. The little girl was pale and expressionless. She looked numbly at the teachers and classmates around her who were chatting about her.
Zhenzhen must have heard these words before, and she may have asked for help before.
The ghost messenger was late in arriving, so Zhenzhen stood behind a tree. Lu Cijiu thought it was not a big deal and thought that they must be very busy and short-staffed, so he sent a message to Hei Wuchang, saying that he would take Zhenzhen back to the shelter first and come back to pick her up when they were done.
After sending the message, Lu Cijiu didn't come closer and said, "I'm very busy recently. The ghost messenger can't pick you up now. I want you to stay at my place for a while."
Zhenzhen was indifferent, and there was a strong aversion to men in her eyes.
Lu Cijiu said, "They don't know what happened to you, and they say that about you. And that couple, don't you want to see them suffer retribution?"
"I can't resist," Zhenzhen said, her voice fragile, helpless, and numb. "No one will help me. No one believes me. I'm an ignorant, rebellious, and disobedient child. That person is very powerful. They all say he's a good person. He adopted me, bought me skirts, and paid for my education. I can't resist."
Lu Cijiu couldn't help but say, "Bullshit. We believe what you say."
Zhenzhen still stood there.
Finally, Lu Cijiu had no choice but to call Hu Sanniang. Hu Sanniang arrived in a hurry, still in the form of a fox, holding a chicken leg in her mouth, chewing it until the hair around her mouth was greasy. Lu Cijiu looked at her and said: "You have been taking care of Zhenzhen recently."
Hu Sanniang was not very happy.
Why does she want to bring a little ghost with her? Logically, this new ghost should be reincarnated.
Lu Cijiu said: "An additional subsidy of 3,000."
Hu Sanniang immediately transformed into a human form, took the chicken leg from her mouth, smiled amiably, and said to Zhenzhen, "Little girl, do you want to eat a chicken leg?"
The way he looked at Zhenzhen was as if she were looking at three thousand yuan.
Lu Cijiu looked at the chicken leg with Hu Sanniang's teeth marks on it, but he didn't say, "You can eat it yourself." Zhenzhen was also a little curious when she saw a fox transformed into a woman. Her face was still numb, but her eyes were brighter.
Hu Sanniang's appearance was deceptive. She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a feminine, gentle demeanor. She was a fox spirit, and if she wanted to look attractive and lovable, she would have a way. With a glance, he knew that this girl didn't like Boss Lu. He smiled and walked over to her, saying, "My name is Hu Sanniang. Don't be afraid. I'm a fox spirit. Sleep with me for the time being. I'll protect you."
Zhenzhen looked at Hu Sanniang without saying anything.
Hu Sanniang patted her chest and promised, patting Zhenzhen's head, she said, "A new ghost like you, without a ghost messenger to lead the way to the underworld, and committing suicide, will be eaten by other evil ghosts if you stay in the world like this."
It's just to scare the kids. Actually, it's not really. Things haven't been peaceful in the underworld lately.
"Eat it if you want. I'm so dirty that I don't deserve to live." Zhenzhen said with her head down.
Lu Cijiu hadn't told Hu Sanniang about Zhenzhen. Hu Sanniang was already rubbing Zhenzhen's face, saying, "Oh my, you're such a beautiful girl. You're not a ghost, you look exactly like a fox spirit. You're so pretty and clean, how could you be dirty?"
"Besides, you're dead now. If you die again, you won't be able to reincarnate. What depressing things are you saying, little girl? Your Grandma Hu San has seen a lot, and there's nothing she can't get over."
Hu Sanniang started to play the flute.
In the shelter, she could only suppress the little black cat, but the little black cat was circling around the kittens all day long. In addition, with the elixir given by Gong Xichao, if a fight really broke out, the two monsters would be evenly matched. The little black cat was too lazy to move and took a detour to give face to Hu Sanniang.
In front of other monsters, Hu Sanniang couldn't blow it.
Brother Cheng has Xiaohong to protect him. Although Mr. Sang is a human, he is also a human who can overwhelm the handsome and muscular man Hu Qingqing. In the shelter, it is not allowed to use magic on humans or monsters. Hu Sanniang has no place to brag.
Now that I have finally caught a little girl, I am not raising my status, I will become Mrs. Hu San in a few minutes.
However, according to Hu Sanniang's age, she is old enough to be Zhenzhen's great-grandmother or great-great-grandmother.
With Hu Sanniang around, Zhenzhen wasn't as prepared as she had been when facing Lu Ci's palace. Because Zhenzhen was already completely dead, even emergency treatment wasn't necessary. Soon, the scumbag surnamed Zhang arrived, looking distraught, and he held Zhenzhen's body tightly, refusing to let go.
Zhenzhen was trembling all over, with fear and disgust towards herself.
"Hu Sanniang, take Zhenzhen back to the station first."
"If I take her, I'm not as good as the master. Should I take the train or the plane?"
Lu Cijiu: …Imagine a big and a small figure hanging on the train.
"Then we'll go back later. Gong Xichao and I have things to do. You take Zhenzhen out to have some fun and relax first." Lu Cijiu took out some cash from his pocket. He didn't have much, just over three hundred yuan in total.
Turn around and look at Gong Xichao.
"It's my pocket money."
"I'll make it up to you later."
Gong Xichao then readily took out ten and handed them to Hu Sanniang with a bully look on his face.
"Don't try to trick people with ghost money. Use it for fun." Lu Cijiu took out a talisman and handed it over. This was a physical talisman. With his talisman, other ghost officials would give him some respect, and wandering ghosts would avoid him.
Hu Sanniang was happy. She took the money and planned to buy something to eat. She happily pulled Zhenzhen and flew away. It was a mess here, and there was a fake man singing opera, which was really disgusting.
It was Zhenzhen’s first time to be a ghost. The excited Hu Sanniang dragged her behind her and flew away, and she disappeared from sight after a while.
Lu bid farewell to Zhenzhen because Zhang's remarks might bring back bad memories for Zhenzhen.
He and Gong Xichao followed the police car and the Zhang couple to the police station.
Professor Zhang looked at the gentle and polite couple, who looked grief-stricken. When the police were taking their statements, they said, "Zhenzhen was a child from an orphanage. She came to our home when she was eight years old. I couldn't have children, so I decided to adopt her." "Yes, she was really cute. We raised her like a little princess. We never thought that this child would--"
Scumbag Zhang burst into tears, then cheered up and said, "There must be something in this. Could it be that Zhenzhen has a boyfriend?"
The policeman perked up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"This child has been absent-minded for a while now. I, a man, asked her about it once, but she dodged me and got angry. Later, my wife asked about it, and she said she seemed to be close to a little boy. I don't know if that's the relationship."
Mrs. Zhang Renzha said anxiously, "Actually, I don't know either. The school invited parents one time and said there was a little boy who wrote a note to our Zhenzhen. I talked to Zhenzhen about it, but it couldn't be because of such a small thing."
The two of them were making random claims, but the police had confirmed that the little girl had committed suicide by jumping from a building. The couple was heartbroken over their child's death and could only try to investigate the little boy.
Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao were right next to each other during the entire inquiry.
Gong Xichao said he could make this scumbag confess everything. Lu Cijiu thought for a moment and said, "We still need to prepare the evidence. The Zhu family is also responsible."
Zhenzhen once told this to a man named Zhu, but Zhu was afraid of getting into trouble and did not believe Zhenzhen's words, pushing her into the devil's abyss.
We can't just let it go so easily.
The two men stood in the police station listening to the couple's nonsense. When it was late, the couple looked at Zhenzhen's body, and there was another performance. Then the man surnamed Zhang took his wife into the car and went back.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhang's face darkened. His wife in the passenger seat paled and said, "That girl is dead. What should we do? Will they suspect—"
"What are you talking about? My daughter committed suicide. What does it have to do with us?" The man surnamed Zhang scolded.
His wife kept silent. Mr. Zhang had a meeting, and the two of them were alone in the car, the atmosphere was oppressive. After a while, his wife heard her husband muttering quietly, "Why is he so unwilling to play? It's a pity he died so early."
I was suddenly horrified, but there was nothing I could do.
Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao sat in the back seat of the car, restraining themselves from giving the two bastards a beating. They had to find evidence. Zhenzhen was dead, and Zhang would definitely deal with some evidence.
Soon they arrived at the mansion. The nanny was at a loss when she heard that the host family's child had jumped off the building. She wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say. The couple showed no appetite, thanked the nanny for her concern, and let her go.
Before leaving, the nanny murmured that the husband and wife were such good people, why couldn't Zhenzhen think of committing suicide.
This beastly couple deceived the outside world, and now everyone thinks they are victims. Lu Cijiu clenched his fists and saw that people kept calling to express their condolences. The two pretended to be very sad and didn't want to talk much.
Wait until everything calms down.
Zhang said, "Take everything and burn it."
After giving the order, he went to the study. Lu Cijiu didn't need to explain, Gong Xichao had done something tricky. The woman took some other clothes to the balcony and burned them, while the things in the cabinet were still neatly arranged.
In the study, a man named Zhang sat behind the desk, clicking on the photos on the computer as if reminiscing about the past. He was reluctant to delete them, but finally deleted them and only kept a short video.
These were certainly not deleted.
After the couple fell asleep, Lu Cijiu put on gloves and turned on the computer...
Zhenzhen's suicide by jumping off a building has become a trending topic on Weibo. I don't know who posted it, but the title is very infuriating.
#A rich junior high school student committed suicide by jumping off a building for love#
It is said that the girl was found when she was picking up her son from cram school today. I heard that it is an international junior high school with a tuition fee of at least 200,000 yuan a year. The girl also studies dance. She is the only child in the family and her parents are both intellectuals. It seems that she was in love with a boy in the same class and jumped off the building because she was found out by the teacher.
The story was well-made, and with the addition of eye-catching elements such as rich second-generation girls, premature love, suicide, etc., it quickly made it to the list.
The comments below all said things like, "It's not nice to say this, but the girl really has a weak immune system and is just a spoiled child of a wealthy family." "You're not going to ask the school teachers for compensation, are you?" "There's nothing wrong with teachers intervening in premature relationships." And so on.
Some people felt sorry for Zhenzhen's death, but more people felt that the girl was too confused and too fragile because she was spoiled by her family.
Lu Cijiu was furious, and soon the trending search disappeared. It was obvious it was man-made.
Su Wanhao also called, "Master Lu, we're still at your house. My daughter saw the news on Weibo with Zhenzhen's name and Haishi. I'm calling to ask you, did Zhenzhen commit suicide?"
"Yes." Lu Cijiu asked, "Did Mr. Su remove the trending search? I have another question for Mr. Su..."
Lu Cijiu finished his business and he and Gong Xichao found Hu Sanniang and Zhenzhen on the seashore of Haishi. Hu Sanniang's hair was blown by the sea breeze and she stood aside sighing. Zhenzhen sat on the beach, the seawater splashing and covering her legs and feet.
But Zhenzhen is already dead.
"Boss, you're finally back." Hu Sanniang was as happy as if she had seen a relative.
Ever since Lu Cijiu started paying Hu Sanniang a salary, Hu Sanniang started calling him boss, saying that he was keeping up with the times.
Hu Sanniang talked about what they would do after they separated. She wanted to take Zhenzhen shopping, try on new dresses and eat delicious food. It was a rare opportunity to have money to indulge herself, and this was an activity at public expense. But who knew that the little girl didn't like shopping or eating. She was always in a daze and not very happy. She stood on the beach for a long time without moving.
"...If she hadn't died, I would have thought she would die again." Hu Sanniang said.
Lu Cijiu told the story of what had happened to Zhenzhen. He didn't add anything, just kept it simple. Even so, Hu Sanniang was so angry that she almost jumped up, cursing him fiercely, saying that all men were bad things. If it were in their fox tribe, anyone who dared to lay a hand on the little cub would be skinned, crippled, and beaten to death. Only humans are so filthy and disgusting...
"—your boss is still here."
The first one was just a bitch, Lu Cijiu also thought the guy named Zhang was a bitch, but after that, all of humanity started to act like a map cannon.
Hu Sanniang: "Boss, I'm not talking about you. I'm so angry. I have to teach that bitch a lesson."
"Okay. It's just right for you to take Zhenzhen out to vent her anger. It's almost time to send the police." Lu Cijiu said.
The international first-year junior high school girl committed suicide by jumping from a building. The local police station is very concerned, and the Education Bureau is expected to strengthen psychological counseling for elementary school students. After compiling the report, the female police officer sighed and said, "What a pity! Such a beautiful girl, only in the first year of junior high school, how could she be so depressed?"
"Yes, my family is rich. Even though I was adopted, my parents gave me as much as they would give me if I were their biological child."
"I also checked with the little boy. He said that he saw Zhenzhen crying again one day and wanted to ask Zhenzhen if she needed help. He had a crush on Zhenzhen, but Zhenzhen didn't like him. Zhenzhen didn't like playing with boys in the class."
"That's strange. Why did Zhenzhen commit suicide?"
"Middle school students are going through puberty, and their emotions might be affected. Who knows? What a pity."
A few people chatted casually. Originally, the case could be closed as there was no doubt in the report. The female police officer thought that although the adoptive parents were heartbroken, they had received higher education and were reasonable. They did not make a fuss and asked them to find the murderer and pay with their lives. They were willing to listen and communicate. Fortunately, they were good.
"...I've finished the report. I'll print it out and organize it. Let's go home together." The policewoman said this when she suddenly received an email notification. She opened it and saw it. Her pupils constricted, her face serious, and she shouted, "Boss, there's something going on. There's something behind Zhang Zhenzhen's death. Take a look."
The policewoman wanted to slap herself. She had been speaking well of the couple since the afternoon, saying they were from an educated family and loved their daughter dearly. "You bastards, you bastards."
After the captain finished reading, he couldn't help but curse. "Check the source of the email and the authenticity of the photos and videos. I'm going to ask for a search warrant. Zhang Zhenzhen is dead, and that couple is very likely to destroy the evidence. We need to do this as soon as possible."
"Boss, who sent this photo? Since we want to destroy all traces."
"No matter who it is, it's better to be cautious."
The photos and videos had been expedited for verification, and the captain had also approved a search warrant. He had been a police officer for so many years and was experienced, and he knew the photos were real at first glance. He just wanted to confirm it. And then there was Zhang Zhenzhen's suicide. If it wasn't puppy love, then why did Zhang Zhenzhen commit suicide?
There are always reasons why children commit suicide. If a child has a happy family, is cared for by his parents, and has a lot of money, then a healthy child would not want to commit suicide.
Police dispatch.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were awakened by a knock on the door in their dream.
"Who is it? Honey, I don't feel well."
"Shut up, is something burning?"
"I burned it myself."
"Then go open the door."
Professor Zhang opened the door with his coat on. Seeing the police standing outside, he was slightly stunned. "Is this about Zhenzhen? Did she die unjustly—"
"It's a very unjust case. Here's a search warrant. Mr. Zhang, please cooperate."
"Why are you searching our house? My daughter committed suicide. You can't go in there—I need a lawyer present."
"It's up to you. We have a search warrant. Mr. Zhang, please cooperate. If you continue to resist, we will detain you for obstructing public service." The captain said firmly.
Professor Zhang was a little panicked, but when he thought about it, he realized that all the evidence had been dealt with, and there was only that video - which had an encrypted code, so it would be fine.
The couple stood aside and looked at each other, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."
The next second, I heard the police's voice from the master bedroom: "Boss, we've found something."
"Boss, we've found the source of the photo."
The police couldn't figure out why Zhang had called the police, but they didn't care. They just wanted to catch this beast. Meanwhile, the Zhangs watched as the policewoman took out some clothes and sex toys from their master bedroom.
Wasn't it burned? How come it's still there?
Professor Zhang looked at his wife, who panicked and said, "I burned it."
"Shut up."
The police officer said, "If you have anything to say, go to the police station and talk it over. Don't rush to argue."
Hu Sanniang stood at the door of the police station, holding Zhenzhen's hand. One of them was a demon, and the other was a ghost. It was really not a good place to enter the police station. It was okay for her to go in with gritted teeth, but it was not okay for Zhenzhen, a new ghost.
Lu Cijiu bit his finger, drew a talisman with his blood, and gave it to Hu Sanniang and Zhenzhen.
This time they were not stopped, and the two entered and found the interrogation room.
