Chapter 5: THE SECRET OF JACOB STOLL

Things started to get messy when I found out that Jane and Jacob had something to do with it, but I couldn't keep Drusilla waiting for long, so I rushed down to meet her. Seeing me, Drusilla smiled, she handed me a long box saying she gave me the date of admission. I opened it up and was surprised, it was a brand new touchscreen phone. Drusilla said she had saved her phone number in the phone, if you have any problems, just call her. I'm so glad I can call Aunt Alice every day. Drusilla asked me to go up to my room, I suddenly remembered something to ask, I turned around and called Drusilla:

" Sister, do you know.. eh, do you know Aunt Alice's phone number?"

"I know, it's saved on your phone", Drusilla didn't turn around, but kept walking back.

"Thanks.."

Why can't I ask about Drusilla? Let's leave it to the next chance, there's still plenty of time later. I walked up to my room, saw Jane was already in the room with Louise, so Louise is back but why can't I see her when I'm downstairs?

"Aaaaaaa, new phone. Remember to give the two of you a good meal now", Sister Jane saw me holding a new phone.

 "Oh, sis Louise, when did you come back? I didn't see you in the yard just now", I smiled, looking at Louise evasively.

"It's nine o'clock, I can't go on the main road, I have to take a detour," said Sister Louise.

"If you go into a dog's hole, say you'll go through a dog's hole, arrange a detour", Sister Jane laughed.

"Can you give me make a good impression in front of my little sister?" , Sister Louise scowled.

I laughed, these two sisters are like dogs and cats that never make up with each other, but they care deeply about each other. I saw Jane's phone light up, I suddenly heard about Jacob, so I asked:

"Who took the picture with sis Jane, I think it's so beautiful, your lover?"

"Nonsense, she's so ugly, who wants to marry her, her brother" – Sister Louise said right after my question.

Jane's eyes were a little sad, but she quickly regained her bright smile: "Yes, this is my brother, Jacob Stoll."

It turns out that this is Jane's brother, he is also Giselle's boyfriend and a murderer, he is really not that simple. My mind now wants to ask about Jacob, but I know that if I ask anything now, I won't be able to get any more news, so I have to keep quiet, just show a surprise to Jane nothing more to doubt. Rain makes people's mood cooler and more comfortable, I lie on my bed thinking about today, there are so many things I know about today but it's too messy, I can't can be properly arranged. I wish that now Giselle or Jacob appeared in front of me to be able to answer these questions for me, they only appear when I don't need them, and when I need them, they disappear. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

As if I was dreaming, I saw a very large white mansion, or rather a castle. I was not sure what to do when suddenly running out of the house was a girl, a girl with long hair reaching to her back, looking at her reminded me of old Vietnamese movies.

"White Young Lady, you don't run anymore, if you go, the old master knows that he will blame you."

"Don't worry, your father loves me very much, does not blame you."

They didn't see me, but they were still running around like that, the beautiful face of the girl called "White Young Lady" is really beautiful, even though she's young, I know for sure she's got a lot of pursuer. The space around me suddenly changed, I don't know where I am now but I know that I am standing at a very high place. A man's voice cut through the tense atmosphere here: "Lotus, will you come down right away? Don't scare me with those childish tricks."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone who steps forward, I jump down there. You guys are cruel people, you just want what's flowing in my body, I already know your scheme, I won't let anyone get it."

The young girl's voice sounded familiar, I tried to squeeze through the crowd to get up to the front to see what happened. Ms. Lotus  I see now is no longer a young, beautiful girl like at first, but now she is like a woman with a tattered body, covered with wounds around her arms and mirror. teary face. Those bloodshot eyes turned to look in my direction without any resentment, I started to feel a little pity for this beautiful girl's fate but I myself didn't know she was in trouble. what. I was about to reach for Lotus's hand so that she wouldn't fall, when Lotus looked at me and nodded, then her whole body fell into the beautiful white villa, where she always thought it was her home. Now this place is also my grave. Mozart's sonata resounded in everyone's panic, I looked around to find the source of the music when I saw Lotus standing in the corner looking at me. I suddenly felt cold, but contrary to my fear, Lotus came to my place and smiled. She gave me a white lotus flower that slowly disappeared.

I didn't understand what was going on with me anymore, but everything around me changed again, this time I met Giselle, she was in the classroom. How gentle and pretty Giselle looks now, different from the eyeless Giselle that I've seen before. Giselle can see ghosts, this I know, but those ghosts are always hanging around her side not giving her a moment to rest, I really admire Giselle because she can endure these things. Among the ghosts surrounding her, there is a ghost that is farthest away from Giselle, that girl is Elsa. Elsa looked at Giselle as if begging her to look back at her once and help her and finally Giselle also accepted to help Elsa release.

Giselle and Jacob went to class 12D10 to meet a person, that is Drusilla. Drusilla was very surprised when she met Giselle because she herself did not know Giselle. The three of them made an appointment to go to a coffee shop in front of the school gate to easily talk. I followed them and of course they didn't know I was following. Holding a glass of orange juice in his hand, Giselle was still tough like that, talking to the point:

"DRUSILLA GRACE, WHY DO YOU KILL ELSA HILLTON?"

"The girl in the tenth grade, what are you talking about? Slandering a person without evidence can be jailed" ,Drusilla smiled, still holding a glass of water.

"It was Elsa who told me that it was you who killed her that night" ,Giselle still maintains that attitude.

"Looks like we don't have anything to say to each other now, I've been busy," Drusilla replied.

“I think this has something to do with Lotus White” ,Jacob interrupted Drusilla.

Drusilla's face changed slightly, she looked at Jacob and then sat back in her position. Drusilla took a glass of water and took a sip: "Where should we start?"

I could no longer hear their conversation, two words Lotus White existed in my mind. That is the name of the girl who committed suicide in that villa and this has nothing to do with the deaths of Elsa and Giselle. Also, if what Giselle said, the person who killed Elsa Hillton was Drusilla, then why should she do that? With a deep sigh, I told myself to find out the truth of this whole thing.

The clock rang again, and I woke up. I had a very long dream, it's still not morning after the rain, I hurried to get my things out of the toilet. I don't know who left a banana peel on the way, I didn't see it and fell. Okay, this time it's a broken leg, not a game! But unexpectedly, a hand reached out to catch me in time. I stood up to thank him and saw that the person who helped me was none other than Jacob.

“Why don't you thank me?” ,Jacob laughed.

“Why should I thank you, you have so many things to deceive me. That said, ghosts don't know how to lie.”

“I.. what did I deceive you?” ,Jacob is confused.

“First: You're not dead yet. Second: You are Jane's older brother.” ,I replied “Why didn't you say it in the first place.”

“Haizz” ,Jacob's eyes turned to the corridor window, he approached it, “Yes, I’m not dead yet but I am no longer alive. My body and spirit had already separated, I couldn't return to my body anymore.

“That's why I see your spirit.” ,I asked again.

“No, you can see sprits because you have Giselle's eyes, and you are the pieces of memories saved in her eyes” ,Jacob explained.

“What about Elsa, why can't I see her spirit? If I had seen her spirit, I would have known the truth a little faster” ,I continued.

“It's really naïve” ,Jacob shook his head, “The memory that you see in Giselle's eyes is a living memory, and Elsa Hillton is just a wandering soul. You can see spirits when they want to show you or you have to get their frequency right. Giselle's yin and yang eyes are a pair of eyes with very strong yin so she can see ghosts anywhere, but since it was replaced for you, the power of her eyes has decreased so it must be so I can only see things related to the old case.”

“That's fine” ,I sighed, remembering seeing Giselle surrounded by ghosts, I thought if that really happened to me, it would be terrible, “Well, wait. Last night, I dreamed about Giselle's memory, the memory before Giselle died and I also saw you. I have something to ask: Why do both of you say that my sister killed Elsa Hillton? It was my sister who discovered Elsa Hillton's body, so you concluded that my sister was the murderer?”

“So, I'm going to ask if my beloved sister is the one who killed Elsa Hillton?” ,Jacob scoffed.

The phone in room 304 rang, it was Jane's bell. I turned around, behind me was the figure of a familiar girl. She raised her voice and asked me: “THALIA, CAN YOU SEE THE GHOST?”
