"In order to focus on her studies, she moved from home to the school dormitory. At night, her safety was somewhat guaranteed, but during the day, it was another story. Song Daoquan pried open the lock of the roll-up door at 2132 and found it completely empty. He was furious and stormed into the school, grabbing Song Zheng by the collar and dragging her to Mingyue Lake. Mingyue Lake was a scenic spot on campus, hidden among dense trees, a popular dating spot for couples. However, at that moment, it was deserted. Song Daoquan pressed Song Zheng's neck down into the water; he was definitely filled with murderous intent. Seeing Song Zheng collapse in the water without moving, he fled. Fortunately for Song Zheng, she was saved by a passing student.
"Weren't the police called?"
"They were called. The officers criticized and educated Song Daoquan but did not file a case. It's hard to say whether that was a good or bad thing. On the one hand, Song Daoquan realized Song Zheng's determination; on the other hand, he discovered that as long as Song Zheng was alive, no matter how severe his violence against her as a father was, he would not face serious punishment."
Ji Qinchou fell silent.
"After enduring her senior year, she graduated smoothly and decided to officially start her revenge plan."
With her fair skin wrapped in a thin spaghetti strap dress, she stood tall at 1.72 meters in silver high heels. Her long hair flowed like waves down her slender back, making her look like a seductive spirit as she passed by. The residents of Canyang Community knew that the girl from the Song family had fallen from grace; they were more indignant than Song Daoquan himself, each one taking turns to slap him in the face with their disdain.
Song Zheng's plan was simple: infiltrate PINK and find an opportunity to take down Tang Wenshan. On her first day interviewing at the bar, the manager mentioned that a female server had just left and there were limited lockers in the break room. "Wait a moment; I'll help you throw away her messy things into the trash."
"No need; I just arrived with only a handbag. Since there are still her personal items in the locker, she will probably come back for them. I'm not in a hurry."
"The young lady has such a good heart." The manager's gaze swept over the chests of several female servers. "You all should learn from her; is it worth it to fight over a hundred-dollar tip?"
There weren't many items in that locker—just a uniform and a makeup bag—along with a set of white outerwear packed in a transparent dust bag at the bottom... When Song Zheng moved aside the other items and placed newspapers underneath, she found her university uniform! She took it out of the dust bag and unfolded it; on the right side of the hem of the top was a light yellow kite design she had painted herself!
Was this the girl who encountered danger that night?
She returned everything else to its original place but took her uniform home after work. As she exited the bar, she saw Tang Wenshan getting into a taxi waiting outside. In a moment of impulse, she jumped into the taxi behind him and told the driver to follow.
Coincidentally echoing that saying about predators and prey, Song Zheng tracked Tang Wenshan to Qingtong Community. Meanwhile, Du Zao had just discovered that her most cherished item was missing while trying to retrieve her belongings from the break room. Distraught, she took a rideshare behind Song Zheng into the community entrance. At that moment, Song Zheng stood before an elevator with a fruit knife in hand, watching as Tang Wenshan's elevator stopped on the 11th floor without any sign of going up further. She noticed that each unit had two apartments per floor; was Tang Wenshan in 1101 or 1102? Her fingers glided over the elevator display screen as she pressed the up button. The elevator descended to the first floor just as she stepped inside.
"Wait!" Instinctively reaching out to stop the elevator doors from closing for someone coming in behind her, she said, "Thank you." A beautiful woman rushed in, panting slightly; she looked somewhat familiar but with her nearsightedness, even seeing a pig would make her think they were related somehow. She hid the fruit knife behind her back and stepped into a corner where this woman stood diagonally across from her, first staring thoughtfully at her uniform before fixing her gaze on Song Zheng's face.
"Can I help you with something?"
"Give up; it's not worth it, Song Zheng."
Song Zheng suddenly froze, gripping the fruit knife tightly and becoming extremely wary.
"If you want to kill him, I can help you!"
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Du Zao pointed at Song Zheng's uniform. "That uniform—you originally lent it to me."
"You would kill someone over a piece of clothing?"
"He lives in 1101; so do I. If anyone has the best chance and success rate to do it besides his two friends, it's only me—I'm his girlfriend. There's a convenience store nearby that's open 24 hours; let's go talk? Killing someone isn't something to rush into."
That night they ordered plenty of food—oden, ice cream, spicy noodles, rice balls, lava cake... Sitting by the window watching cars rush by outside, they talked from stars and moons until dawn broke."
"That night, I practically laid my guts out for her to see, hoping to convince her that I meant no harm."
"She won't agree to your plan and leave the matter of murder entirely in your hands," Ji Qinchou said.
"You guessed it again. She firmly opposed me avenging her, so we came up with a way that could absolve everyone of guilt. Want to take a guess?"
"It all revolves around the 'time difference.' Tang Wenshan, who is 172 cm tall, coincidentally matches Song Zheng's height. That night by the Zhaowang River, it was Song Zheng impersonating Tang Wenshan, while the real murderer was Song Daoquan. Your job was to lure the real Tang Wenshan deeper into the Zhaowang River when he was unprepared and stab him multiple times in the abdomen, ensuring his wounds matched those from the performance outside the PINK Bar. Then you would tear open the sealed bag around the wound to collect his blood and throw him into the Zhaowang River. After that, you would put the blood in a box and have Same-City Express Delivery send it to Song Zheng, preparing her and Song Daoquan for their act. Song Zheng knew that Song Daoquan might take this opportunity to kill her, but she didn't tell you because she couldn't bear to disappoint you. She planned to take revenge on Song Daoquan through her own death. As for Song Daoquan, he thought that the friend Song Zheng mentioned was you, meaning you held evidence of his murder and body concealment from thirteen years ago. If he killed Song Zheng first and then waited for you to kill Tang Wenshan, with blood on his hands, he would have leverage over you to threaten you into handing over the evidence. If you didn't comply, you'd be his next target."
"So, Song Zheng really did die at Song Daoquan's hands on June 23?"
"We found blood from two individuals at the crime scene, one male and one female. The male was Tang Wenshan; the female's identity is unknown."
"It was my fault! My intention was for her to live happily as an outsider! That early morning at the convenience store, Song Zheng told me, 'If the plan succeeds, we'll meet here; if it fails...' 'It won't fail!' I said. 'Right! It won't fail!' she echoed. After that, she left first. While I was tidying up, I found a note under a cup of instant noodles with elegant handwriting saying, 'See you after everything is over; if we can't meet again, I'll leave a message for you.' Later on, I went back to that convenience store where the clerk handed me a paper package. When I opened it, there was a note with an address and a key inside. I went to the address on the note and found a video she left for me on top of a freezer. She told me not to feel guilty and asked me to help bury her mother. If her body could be found, she wanted to be buried alongside her beloved mom. This is the truth you all wanted."
