Chapter 55 The final truth
Based on the clues provided by the teacher, Qinghai Chuantang found Ying Lian, who is now working in a hair salon.

Because of the weather, she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, exposing her arms, and the burn marks on them were particularly conspicuous and eye-catching.

There was also a burn mark on her face, but it still couldn't hide her beautiful face and she still looked beautiful.

"Ji Yue. I will never forget this name in my life."

"Do you think she hurt you on purpose?"

"Yes."

Ying Lian looked at her, "I didn't believe it at first. But later I understood, that's why she did it."

Yinglian's body was shaking a little.

"Do you know where that is?"

"The director of Maple Leaf Nursery School gives yellow butterfly hairpins to the children, which means he has started doing that again."

Qinghai Chuantang asked about the dean's family tree in his heart and cursed, "What kind of toad is this!"

There were tears in Yinglian's eyes, but she smiled.

"The reason you came to see me is because Ji Yue got into trouble, right?"

"Are you talking about my sister Ji Yue?"

"Sailor Moon" was the favorite anime of the children in Maple Leaf Nursery School at that time, and it is also one of their most important memories.

Xixia likes the role of Usagi Tsukino very much.

Before a performance on stage one time, Xixia and Jiyue had an argument over costumes.

For this, Ji Yue even beat her sister.

Although she is the older sister, Xixia is still young, and she was slapped hard in the face, so she immediately burst into tears and cried, saying that she hated her and wanted to find her mother.

"Don't cry, I'll give you something better in exchange."

As she spoke, Ji Yue took off the yellow hairpin from her hair and put it on Xixia's head.

After hearing this story, Qinghai Chuantang was stunned.

"The one who stayed in the nursery at that time was Xixia, not Jiyue?"

In other words, the person who was taken away at that time was actually the younger sister Ji Yue, who replaced her sister's identity and became "Shinoda Yuka".

The younger sister who was taken away afterwards should actually be the older sister.

The one who died was the younger sister with the identity of "Xixia", and the one who is alive is the older sister with the identity of "Ji Yue".

Then the person who is alive now is "Xixia".

When Qinghai Chuantang called Chuanxi Mugui to inform him of the result, he replied that he had known it for a long time.

"Profiler? It seems that you are much slower than the police this time."

The other party's tone seemed to be somewhat smug.

"I'm not good at finding people. Officer Kawanishi, can I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"Is there a yellow hairpin in the hair of that corpse?"

The answer I got was an affirmative “yes”.

Then the case is much clearer.

Because her sister gave her a yellow hairpin and took away the life that should have belonged to her.

Is that why you retaliate in this way?
"If that's the case, then Xixia will appear sooner or later. There's no need to look for her anymore."

Qinghai Chuantang talked to himself and looked out the car window.

The lights were dim and the heavy rain wet the road, making the number of pedestrians and vehicles much smaller.

On September 9, Qinghai Chuantang came to the school where Xiaotian Yuxia was studying.

From her classmates, I learned that her life was very simple. Apart from going home and school, she would usually go to the library.

The books on Shinoda Yuka's borrowing list include "Criminal Psychology", "Serial Murder Files", "Criminal Psychology Interview", and "Imitation Criminal Psychology".

At first glance, one might think it was a major like criminal psychology, but in fact, Shinoda Yuka's major was - mathematics.

"You mean Xixia? She's the best student in my class."

"But she seems to be a little abnormal recently. When she was doing her thesis report, I saw for the first time that she was at a loss because she couldn't finish it in time."

Qinghai Chuantang has found her best friend.

"Twin sisters? I haven't heard of them. If there were, she wouldn't have failed to tell me. After all, when she had a boyfriend, she often boasted about it."

Did he kill her to avenge his sister?

Shortly after leaving school, Qinghai Chuantang received a text message from a friend on the road:

"I found out about Shinoda Yuka at the Beihua General Hospital, and the results showed that she was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer."

Pancreatic cancer is known as the "king of cancers", let alone in the terminal stage.

Perhaps, the answer can be changed to: out of guilt towards his sister, he chose to commit suicide after killing his brother who tortured her.

So, should we tell the other person the truth?

After all, her boyfriend really seemed to love her.

"Even if I replace her existence, love cannot be replaced."

Qinghai Chuantang sighed, prepared to make an appointment with Kuramoto Masahiko for a meeting place, and informed the other party of this matter.

She was not a person who was good at being tactful, so she had anticipated what the situation would be like after learning that her beloved woman had died.

Two cups of slightly sour Mandheling coffee may be like this ending.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know she would be so sick."

Masahiko Kuramoto's eyes were a little moist, "Perhaps I should have expected this. No wonder why she chose to do this three months ago."

"Xixia always said that she wanted to remain a virgin before marriage, but that night..."

"In fact, I was a little surprised. She didn't seem like the Xixia I had always known. It was as if she had suddenly become a different person."

"After that, when I suggested living together, Xixia said, 'Now whenever you look at me, do you think about doing that?' Her expression at that time, how should I put it, felt very strange."

"Could it be that you are getting rid of me in this way just because you have cancer?"

"I didn't know anything about it. If I had known it earlier, maybe I could have spent more time with her."

Masahiko Kuramoto covered his eyes with his hands, not wanting others to see this embarrassing scene.

A special guest came to the Metropolitan Police Department, claiming to be a relative of the victim in the tape murder case.

She was led into the forensic room.

Looking at the person named "Yanagawa Himezuki" lying there, her eyes were red and tears kept flowing.

"Ms. Ji Yue."

The other party did not answer.

After Chuanxi Mugui called out twice in succession, the other party seemed to finally react.

She raised her head, looked at the other person and said, "Mr. Officer, are you calling me? My name is 'Shinoda Yuka'."

"Then let me help you recall. You used tape to wrap up your living sister and kill her, and then took away her name, right, Ms. Yanagawa Himezuki?"

When reading the name, Chuanxi Mugui spoke each word deliberately, as if he wanted to emphasize something.

Yanagawa Himetsuki sneered, "Sorry, Officer, I don't understand what you are talking about."

She reached out her hand to wipe away her tears and said solemnly: "If you are a criminal police, you should understand what I mean. My name is, Xixia."

No matter what, she insisted that she was Xixia, and could even describe her past experience clearly.

What time, where, what happened. He knew it by heart.

In the interrogation room, Kawanishi Kiki and Yanagawa Himetsuki looked at each other.

"You insisted that you were 'Shinoda Yuka', but we thought you were 'Yanagawa Himetsuki', right?"

"That's true."

"Then let me ask you one last question. When you wrapped your sister with tape while she was still alive, you wanted to leave her with an expression of pain and fear, because you felt that only in this way could you get some compensation for your painful life, right?"

Yanagawa Himetsuki chuckled.

"You should ask the murderer who killed Xixia about this."

"Ms. Ji Yue, there may be something you don't know yet. That is, the 'Tape Serial Murder Case' was solved several months ago, and the murderer was successfully caught."

"is it?"

Yanagawa Himetsuki's smile seemed to be somewhat amusing. "Mr. Officer, how do you know that the murderer has really been caught? Is the man who was caught really the murderer? Just like what you are seeing now, is it really the truth?"

On September 9, the police found a photo album in a villa where Yuka Shinoda once lived.

It contains photos of her from childhood to adulthood, with every detail of her life recorded with a pen.

The handwriting is very new, it must have been written not long ago.

It was as if I was writing all of this down specifically to tell someone.

Her name is "Yanagawa Himezuki", but actually it's not "Himezuki" but "Yuxia".

Her name is "Shinoda Yuka", but it's not "Yuka", but "Himezuki".

The first child to wear a yellow hairpin was "Ji Yue".

At that time, Ji Yue didn't know what the yellow hairpin meant, but the dean told her that it was a very interesting thing and that she could eat a lot of delicious snacks at his place.

So at that time, Ji Yue thought that the yellow hairpin was better than the puffy skirt, so she exchanged it with Xixia.

The two of them look similar.

So even if they exchanged hairpins, few people would be able to tell them apart accurately.

But when Xixia told Ji Yue that the dean asked her to go to his room at night and forbade her to tell anyone else, the ignorant Ji Yue seemed to understand something.

So, she played a game with Xixia.

"Sis, since we can't sleep anyway, why don't we play the transformation game together? Close your eyes first."

"Ok."

Xixia closed her eyes.

Kids are like that, sometimes conflicts pass quickly.

She seemed to have completely forgotten that her younger sister had snatched away her favorite puffy skirt and her favorite "Usagi Tsukino" character this morning.

"The power of the moon prism, transformation!" Ji Yue whispered.

When Xixia opened her eyes, she saw Ji Yue wearing a yellow hairpin on her head, but she didn't say much at the time, just smiled.

At that time, Xixia might have thought: Ji Yue must want to secretly go to the dean's place to eat delicious food.

In the dead of night, the children fell into sleep.

Ji Yue quietly got up and prepared to go to the dean's room.

Although Xixia had her eyes closed, she was not asleep.

After hearing the slight noise, he secretly opened his eyes and then quietly followed the other party.

When Xixia climbed up the wooden ladder outside the window and looked at the scene inside, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and shed tears.

She saw what they were doing and heard the name from the dean's mouth - Xixia.

The yellow hairpin never belonged to Ji Yue, but to Xi Xia.

It’s just that the dean mistook Ji Yue for Xi Xia.

Afterwards, Ji Yue returned to the room and washed her body with cold water over and over again, but she could not wash away the traces.

Perhaps since then, a scar has been left in her heart.

On the day when the good family came to pick Xixia up, Xixia also played the transformation game with Ji Yue.

"The game must continue until I repeat the spell. You will remember this, right?"

"elder sister."

Both of them had tears in their eyes.

"Ji Yue, we will definitely meet again. When that time comes, we can recite the spell again."

"So before that, Ji Yue will definitely be able to hold on, right?"

You protected me, so now, let me protect you.

From then on, she lived on as "Shinoda Yuka".

Because it was eventually determined to be suicide, Yanagawa Himezuki was not found guilty and Yuxia was eventually acquitted.

The first thing I did after leaving was to come to the edge of the sea cliff and look at the endless blue ocean.

She seemed to see Ji Yue, her sister.

It seems like I'm back to the time when I was chanting magic spells.

"Moon Prism Power, Transform!"

Now, the magic is lifted, and she no longer lives as "Ji Yue", but becomes "Xi Xia" again.

But why do I always feel empty inside, as if something is missing?
