I stayed at the cemetery until it was dark before leaving.

Just as I walked out of the cemetery, my phone rang again.

But strangely, it hung up after two rings.

Immediately, I saw Captain Zhou, his smile was very meaningful.

"Xia Qianqian, remember to change your ringtone, or it's easy for people to guess your secrets."

The wind was cold, the light under the streetlamp was dim, he walked towards me slowly, speaking while handing me a photo album.

"After work, I passed by that photo studio you mentioned, went in for a look, and the owner said your things were still there, so I brought them over for you."

"Thank you."

"You might need to come with me." Captain Zhou said calmly.

My breath tightened for a moment, then I laughed, feeling as if a thousand-pound burden was lifted from my shoulders! I had long known that no matter how clever, it would ultimately be difficult to escape the law!

I reached out to take it, holding the photo album to my chest like a treasure, it contained our secrets.

I should have picked it up earlier, but I was more eager to tell Yanyan about the revenge.

Captain Zhou scrutinized me up and down.

"Kids are always impulsive, and impulsiveness often comes with a price!"

I smiled sweetly.

"Bad people deserve to be punished!"

Captain Zhou suddenly laughed.

"There's still a question from the previous interrogation that you haven’t explained clearly."

"What?"

"Li Mengyan posted on a niche forum before her death, saying that if one day she died, it wouldn't be an accident and that the criminal could only be you. What do you have to say about that?"

Like this morning, Captain Zhou asked the same question, only his eyes weren't as sharp as before.

"Oh, that..."

I shook my head and laughed, tilting my head to look at him.

"It was just a joke. We were playing a game that day, and she lost to me. I made her post a truth online, who knew she would write that."

But as I recalled in my mind, I couldn't help but think that when I was trying hard to distance myself from her, I had once said harsh words to her:

"Li Mengyan, don't get too close to me, my illness is like a gun. If you foolishly get close, I could shoot you at any time."

And that naive, silly girl pierced my heart with one sentence:

"Then I bet there's no bullet in your gun."

But she didn’t know, my gun did have a bullet. It shot her, and it hurt me too.

Of course, there was no need to tell Captain Zhou all of this.

The wind was getting colder, unconsciously I hugged the photo album tighter and followed him to the police car at the bottom of the hill.

Captain Zhou opened the car door, I slipped in, lazily leaned against the seat back, and turned on the music on my phone.

There was only one song in my favorites, which was also my ringtone.

"When the sun shines brightly once again;

Is too much sunshine melancholic;

The romance of wind, flowers, snow, and moon can't help me resist;

The ocean of real life.

Still thinking;

Endlessly thinking;

A bucket of sorrow poured down like this.

Still tasting;

The black dream too long;

That love must not disappear into the light..."
