Le retour de l'âme

Chapitre 38

Just then, a voice came from the corner of the balcony: "The fog is very thick, which is perfect weather for me. My room has a light on, so I can vaguely make out your outlines, but you can't see me. Officers, I won't disturb your investigation of Dean Wu's suicide scene."

Following the sound, we saw a miniature speaker in the corner of the balcony, with a thin wire hanging down from the balcony. We rushed outside to the balcony and saw that the wire was stretched all the way up to a small hill opposite the balcony.

"That cunning woman!" Chen Yiming exclaimed.

"It seems there are listening devices in her room too," Yoshikawa said.

"You guys go after them first, I'll immediately notify the others to surround this place!" Chen Yiming said, and ran off to notify the others.

"By the time you find this note I left behind, I'll already be on my way back to Japan. My plan for revenge remains unchanged. As for the old woman who died in the clock tower and had her face peeled off, I'll leave that mystery to you to solve; otherwise, what's the point? Actually, I've already given you the key to unlocking the mystery of her identity; it all depends on how much you understand from today's conversation. Everything, though seemingly accidental, contains an inevitable connection. Well, I've made myself clear. This is just our first round of confrontation; I hope it will become even more interesting in the future."

Yes, it's a pity we didn't catch Hasegawa Yuri that day. That loudspeaker was just a decoy; she was always outside on the balcony, by that drainpipe—I climbed up there before. It's very likely she was speaking there initially, deliberately using the back of Wang Siyue, whom she had already knocked unconscious, to mislead us, just as she said, the fog was very thick that day. And we all overlooked an important point: the sound coming from the loudspeaker is fundamentally different from a real voice. We had been hearing her real voice all along, but in the end, we were fooled. She led us to the hillside, then casually walked out of the campus.

However, Yoshikawa quickly made contact with the Japanese authorities, and it is believed that she will be arrested soon. As for Zhao Jun, Chen Yiming has already begun the manhunt for him, and it is believed that he will be apprehended soon as well.

Today is Mengli's memorial service. I buried her ashes in that grove of trees so that I can visit her every day from now on.

Everything was over, and the weather was exceptionally nice today. However, when I returned to my dorm, Nangong Xiaoxue's diary inexplicably reappeared on my pillow. Wasn't it supposed to have been burned? Trembling, I picked it up and flipped to the last few pages. Sure enough, it was the diary I had found in the reading room. The terrifying thing was that on the last page, there was an extra sentence:

Meng Li saw herself in it, and you will soon see another Lin Yuan!
