The third rule of Kotou Village found in the ancestral hall was hidden by Xie Xiaoyu.
[If the festival has not started yet, please take your dog with you and leave Kotou Village quickly. Don't abandon the dog, only the dog can show you the way to leave. 】
[If the festival has already begun, please respect the customs of the village, participate in the festival, and listen carefully to the songs of the festival. 】
[The divine code is supreme. Serve the Inugami and your name will be recorded in the divine book. (The following is a crossed-out sentence) Never let your name appear in the sacred book. 】
Xie Xiaoyu knew that as long as he handed over the third rule that stated how to leave.
Tan Yushi will definitely choose to take everyone away immediately.
But she didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay and participate in the festival.
Because only in this way can we obtain more information and unravel the mystery of this strange story.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
In order to deal with the increasing number and frequency of strange stories about rules, the country has given a lot of preferential treatment to those investigators who have gained talents from the strange stories.
This even includes commutation of the death penalty.
As long as she can gain talent from this strange story, she doesn't have to worry about her crime being exposed.
Instead, you can go the other way and protect your mother.
"Have you made up your mind to do this since you entered Kaitan?"
In the interrogation room, Xie Xiaoyu, who had changed into prison uniform, and Tan Yushi sat opposite each other.
Tan Yushi's mouth was a little dry, and when he asked the question, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Xie Xiaoyu slowly shook his head, and after a few seconds, nodded again.
"It wasn't there at the beginning, but when I got the third copy of the rules, it was there."
Xie Xiaoyu said softly: "I'm not as stupid as my mother. I know that even if she takes the blame, you can find out."
"My mother didn't have access to the poison, I was the only one who could get it from the school lab."
"If it's found on me, I'll accept my fate."
Tan Yushi didn't know what to say.
He lowered his eyelids to cover the complex emotions in his eyes, but his voice still inevitably fluctuated.
"You are going to take the college entrance examination in half a year. I checked your scores and you can get into a good university. Why do you do this to ruin your future?"
Xie Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at him.
Suddenly he laughed a little abruptly, as if he couldn't help it.
"Don't you find it strange to talk about police officers?"
"The rules of kaidan are that only adults over the age of 18 can enter. Therefore, basically all high school students will not enter kaidan. This is the hope left to a country."
Tan Yushi was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Xie Xiaoyu is a senior in high school this year, but he has entered the ghost story.
She is an adult, one year older than a normal high school senior.
"He won't let me get into college."
Xie Xiaoyu said:
"Since you have investigated carefully, haven't you found out that I didn't take the college entrance examination at all last year?"
"If I want to get rid of him, there is only one way - kill him."
Tan Yushi couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever tried telling the teacher or calling the police?"
Xie Xiaoyu sneered, put on the sleeves of his prison uniform, and exposed his thin arms.
Although she is very thin, she is so thin that not even a little extra fat can be seen on her arms.
However, the two arms were clean and there were no scars at all.
"What if I say, my dad didn't hit me, but my mom?"
"He has stopped beating me since I can remember. Maybe he is afraid that when I grow up and he gets old, I will hold grudges?"
"Or maybe I am a child who was beaten and left scars on my body...the teacher can always see it. Even if I don't call the police, the teacher will help call the police."
"But hitting my mom is different."
"She is his wife. Even if I tell the teacher, it is still a family dispute. Anyway, I am fine. There is no need for the teacher to get involved in this kind of muddy water. What about calling the police? Come to the house to mediate, and then beat him harder."
"There are always people around me who say that the married daughter-in-law has to be beaten to be obedient. Others say, how can a woman not be beaten by her husband? He is good to your daughter and has never beaten your daughter. "
"My mother also thought, yes, at least that man didn't beat her daughter. I also relied on that man to pay for my tuition."
"She always wanted to endure it, even if it was for the sake of her daughter, just endure it."
"Last year, I didn't go to take the college entrance examination because before the college entrance examination, my mother was beaten half to death. I sent my mother to the hospital. On the day when others were taking the college entrance examination, I waited outside the hospital's emergency room."
Xie Xiaoyu spoke slowly and explained everything.
Her expression was extremely calm, and there was no hint of sadness or sorrow.
Taking action is not a sudden decision, but a decision made after serious planning.
Xie Xiaoyu has even thought about what to do next.
But Zhang Wenxiu didn't.
She is just an ordinary woman who has never gone to school and doesn't even have a job.
So at the first moment, the only solution she could think of was to take the blame for her daughter.
The idea is ridiculously simple.
Why do you think that with modern criminal investigation technology, you can't find out who the real murderer is?
The act of taking the blame will only make both mother and daughter guilty.
But then a turning point came, and they entered into a strange story.
When Xie Xiaoyu came out of the ghost story, he gained a talent by destroying the divine code and unlocking most of the secrets of Kotou Village.
"We have investigated the entire case clearly and will conduct a psychological evaluation on you later. If there are no problems, I hope you can serve the country and fight for the chance of a commutation of your sentence."
Before Tan Yushi left the interrogation room, he informed Xie Xiaoyu of the next arrangements.
"Your mother took the blame for you, which constitutes a crime of shielding. She will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than three years."
"But you can rest assured that your mother will also be taken care of after you apply for special protection."
After saying goodbye to Xie Xiaoyu, Tan Yushi came to a reception room.
This reception room is very simple, but the people sitting on both sides of the conference table are not simple.
After Tan Yushi came in and sat down, the person in the center of the conference table said straight to the point:
"The woman you mentioned who has a strong talent named Wang Qing, we have conducted a simple spot check in the national database."
"The findings were that none of them matched."
