Lin Yi rushed to the river behind the school like crazy, trying to find her daughter, even if it was her body.
Chu Junshan had no choice but to follow him with a few students. Only Xu Si was injured, so he stayed in the classroom.
But they did not find Lin Xiaoqi's body in the river. The river was very long, but there was a long section not far downstream that was covered with aquatic plants, and the water was not deep. The roots of the aquatic plants had already touched the bottom of the water. The body
It's hard to float down there.
But we can't rule out the possibility that the body actually floated downstream.
If this is the case, then they cannot find it. If they want to find the body, they will probably have to wait until tomorrow to summon more people to look for it.
Just when Chu Junshan was about to take everyone back, he suddenly heard a scream, followed by a pop, and Li Shuang fell headlong into the lake.
When Chu Junshan dragged Li Shuang ashore, Li Shuang was already dead and his throat was slit.
Because the rain was heavy and the sky was dark, no one saw what happened when Li Shuang was killed. Chu Junshan believed that Lin Yi did it and she was the only one with a motive, but Lin Yi denied it.
Things became more and more chaotic. Chu Junshan and others could only return to the classroom with Li Shuang's body. After returning, they discovered that Xu Si was dead and died of excessive blood loss.
Faced with this situation, Chu Junshan was on the verge of collapse. He found a rope to tie up Lin Yi and Liu Changlin, and asked Wu Yue to watch them. Then he went back to the police station to call someone.
After Chu Junshan left, Wu Yue looked at the two tied people and the two bleeding corpses. She didn't feel scared at all, but told a story that no one else knew.
In fact, she was the one who killed Lin Xiaoqi.
Wu Yue has always had a crush on Li Shuang. She has been bullied by her classmates since she was a child. Because of her appearance, she was nicknamed Sun Houhou.
At that time, only Li Shuang didn't call her that. Later, when he went to the same junior high school and entered the same class, he never told anyone that Wu Yue had such a nickname.
In the evening, after hearing Li Shuang talk about what he and Liu Changlin had done, Wu Yue told Li Shuang not to worry, and they turned back and went behind the school wall.
At this time, Lin Xiaoqi was still in a coma. Wu Yue also thought she was dead, so she suggested throwing her into the river. Her idea was very simple, she wanted to create the illusion of drowning. She had no idea that entering the water after death was related to the real thing.
Drowning is different.
If Lin Xiaoqi really died at this time, even if they threw him into the water, it would be easy to find out that he was not drowned, but was thrown into the water after his death.
Li Shuang didn't dare to do it, so Wu Yue did it herself. But when she was about to throw Lin Xiaoqi into the water, Lin Xiaoqi's eyelashes moved and she was not dead.
But when Wu Yue thought of Li Shuang's dependence on her before, she still threw Lin Xiaoqi into the water. She didn't want to lose Li Shuang's dependence on her.
After telling the truth, Wu Yue complained hysterically. She was from a single-parent family, and her father usually drank alcohol and sometimes beat her, but Lin Yi never noticed this.
She only has eyes for her daughter.
Later, she asked Liu Changlin why he wanted to kill someone, because if it weren't for Liu Changlin, nothing would have happened.
Liu Changlin just told her that he wanted to be famous.
Wu Yue used glass to slit the throats of Liu Changlin and Lin Yi, and then used the same piece of glass to slit his own throat.
…
Up to this point, it has been a normal suspense novel, but it has added some humanistic elements, such as left-behind children, domestic violence, and school bullying.
But things started to change later on.
The scene turned, and in a white room, a man was surrounded by a group of people. He closed his eyes and muttered something about the previous story.
Someone recorded what he said.
The people surrounding him were actually police officers and doctors from a mental hospital.
The man who was surrounded had been arrested before for attempting to injure someone. When he was arrested, he was holding a knife to kill someone. It was later proven that he had a split personality.
Everything before was a battle between his personalities.
The final results satisfied the doctors.
They concluded that all the man's evil personality had been eliminated, leaving only the police personality named Chu Junshan, so there was no need to worry that he would harm others again.
The police listened to the advice, and it was true that the man did not commit a serious crime. He was just threatening people with a knife, so the man was eventually released.
The day after the man was let go, he took a knife and killed the man he had not killed before.
At the end of the story, the perspective returns to Chu Junshan.
He rushed to the police station in the rain, but saw a little girl soaked on the road. The little girl told Chu Junshan that she was looking for her mother, and her mother was Lin Yi.
Hearing what the little girl said, Chu Junshan was very happy. This was the first good thing he encountered tonight, Lin Xiaoqi was not dead.
He hugged Lin Xiaoqi and sat down in the back seat, preparing to take her back to the police station, but after taking a few steps, he felt a pain in his waist. When he turned around, a long piece of glass had been inserted there, and Lin Xiaoqi had a weird smile.

…
This novel not only references "Fatal Identity", but also "Confessions". The character settings of the teacher and students are all from the latter book.
Yu Dong wanted to use these characters to add more humanistic care to the book.
Although the novel does not introduce why men have these personalities, it is not difficult to understand, because these children, including Lin Xiaoqi, all have one thing in common, a lack of care.
They lack both the care of their families and the care of their teachers. As the final personality, Lin Xiaoqi has both family and teachers integrated together, and her mother is the teacher.
The personality of the doorman is actually the man himself.
The personality of a police officer is the role that men aspire to be.
Yu Dong did not explain in the novel whether Li Shuang was killed by Lin Yi, but in fact Li Shuang was indeed killed by Lin Yi, because Lin Yi just saw the news the day before yesterday that a student killed someone, but because he was not old enough.
So there was no sentence.
Lin Yi knew that if Li Shuang was handed over to the law, Li Shuang would definitely not be severely punished, so he decided to take action himself. This was very similar to that in "Confession".
However, Yu Dong only wrote half of it and left the last half unwritten, leaving it to the readers' imagination.
In addition, Yu Dong also set up a small detail in the novel, that is, everyone's names have homophonic numbers.
Lin Yi, Li Shuang, Chu Junshan, Xu Si, Wu Yue, Liu Changlin, Lin Xiaoqi... From one to seven, each of them represents a number.
Readers may notice this when they first read it, but they won't understand why. After they see the ending and learn about multiple personalities, they will probably realize the reason.
…
After the outline came out, Yu Dong roughly estimated that it would take between 120,000 and 200,000 words to complete the novel. However, after having the outline, the story became much better, and the book should be published in less than a month.
.
At the end of December, just after Yu Dong had written a section of "Fatal Identity", Jimmy came to see him.
The first thing Jimmy said when he saw Yu Dong was: "Dong, have you finished writing "Resident Evil 2" that I have been thinking about so much?"
"No." Yu Dong answered simply.
"Not yet? This kind of efficiency is not your style." Jimmy stretched his head and looked at the manuscript Yu Dong was writing, "Is this "Resident Evil 2"?"
"No." Yu Dong shook his head.
Jimmy blinked, "Dong, you're not going to tell me that you haven't written "Resident Evil 2" yet, are you?"
"It's half written, but I have a new project I want to write, so I'm putting aside "Resident Evil" for now." Yu Dong told Jimmy truthfully.
"..."
Jimmy didn't know what to say.
This is both bad news and good news.
The bad news is that "Resident Evil 2" has been delayed. The good news is that Yu Dong has another new game coming out.
Jimmy decided to ignore the bad news, put on a smile and asked, "What is the subject of the new book? Is it science fiction?"
"No...it's just reasoning, let's add some thriller." Yu Dong replied.
Mystery and thriller.
This is another piece of bad news plus good news.
No, I should say it’s news that’s not sure whether it’s good news or bad news.
Yu Dong has made a breakthrough in subject matter, which is of course a good thing, but if this breakthrough is not successful...
For any creator, breakthrough is a double-edged sword.
Chapter completed!
