"Classmates? Are you sure?"
I didn't expect that the son of the security guard whom we planned to question tomorrow was actually a classmate of the deceased. If there is such a relationship, then I think it is necessary for me to investigate the son of the security guard.
First of all, the person who really led us from the Normal College to this high school was the son of the security guard. If the son of the security guard had not accidentally placed the book in the security room of the Normal College, then the following events would not have happened. Moreover, the son of the security guard also said that the book was given to him by a strange female student. If there was no strange female student who gave him the book, then the son of the security guard would be a major suspect! It is even possible that the son of the security guard is a member of the Organization of God.
I immediately asked, "Is the security guard's son here now? And where is the deceased's boyfriend?"
Old Zhao nodded and said, "I have asked someone to bring the security guard's son here. He and the deceased's boyfriend are both waiting in the Academic Affairs Office. Can I take you there now?"
"Let's go. I'll leave things here to you. Ding Yang, do you want to stay and help?"
Ding Yang had an inexplicable excitement and impulse towards corpses. In fact, he would have chosen to stay without me asking him. He just waved at me and signaled that I could leave.
We walked down the stairs. Because of the police's drive, the girls who had been watching had returned to the dormitory to rest. However, after returning to the dormitory, they were still talking, and the whole corridor was filled with the sound of their discussions.
After arriving downstairs, I went to the dormitory manager's office first and asked her what time the dormitory was closed. The dormitory manager was trembling with fear and could not speak clearly. After explaining for a long time, she finally made it clear that she locked the door between 10:30 and 10:40 every day. After she locked the door today, absolutely no one left, and she didn't know what happened on the fourth floor. In short, she kept shirking responsibility.
I also knew that she had no ill intentions, so I comforted her, "Don't worry, our police will investigate the right and wrong. Has any stranger appeared in this girls' dormitory recently?"
"Strangers? What do you mean? There are a few boys who often try to sneak in, and I caught them a few times."
I was a little surprised by what the dormitory manager said. How come young people are so open now? They dare to break into the girls' dormitory blatantly? But I still explained: "For example, some unfamiliar female students, have you noticed?"
The dormitory manager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't pay attention to this. After all, there are so many students living here, and I can't keep an eye on every one of them. How about I ask the students here for you when I have time?"
Seeing that the dormitory manager didn't know, I nodded in disappointment and turned to leave through the gate. When I left, I took a special look at the door of the girls' dormitory. There was only one exit, and the door seemed to be locked from the inside with an iron chain. Without the key, it was impossible to enter and exit normally.
Bai Longfei asked in confusion: "Ji Wen, why are you in such a hurry to leave? There are still many things to see at the scene. Are you just going to give up the clues like this?"
"I haven't given up on the clues. The clues at the murder scene over there are all professional clues. It's useless for us to stay here. It's better to let Ding Yang play freely and tell us what he finds tomorrow. Besides, I'm in a hurry to get out, so naturally I have other things to do."
As I said that, I turned around and walked towards the girls' dormitory. When Lao Zhao, who was leading the way in front of me, saw that I had changed direction, he immediately said, "Brother, the Academic Affairs Office is over here."
I didn't answer him, but walked straight to the open space between the girls' dormitory and the boys' dormitory, and looked up at the girls' dormitory in front of me. This girls' dormitory was the same as I said before, only the first floor had a guardrail, and the second floor was not very high. If you want to leave quietly from the second floor, the guardrail on the first floor becomes a good ladder, so whether sneaking in or sneaking out, it is not difficult.
At this time, because of the murder just now, the lights in most of the dormitories in the entire dormitory building were on. Maybe they were still discussing what happened just now, but I noticed that the lights in several dormitories on the edge of the second floor were off, and there were no clothes drying on the balconies of those dormitories. It was estimated that no one lived in these dormitories. If the murderer wanted to leave, he might use the windows of these empty dormitories as a way out.
This is also what I am most worried about. At present, there are only two possibilities for the murderer. The first is that the murderer is a student of our school who lives in this dormitory building. He does not need to leave after killing someone and only needs to go back to his dormitory to rest. If this is the case, then I will have to ask Lao Zhao to work overtime to find out who came out to the toilet at the time of the incident and which dormitory the suspicious bloodstains were found in.
There is also a second possibility, that is, the murderer is not from this school. She sneaked in by climbing up, or simply walked in and hid somewhere, and then left quietly after killing people. After all, the deceased had disappeared and died in the afternoon. If this is the case, it would be more difficult to deal with, because in this case, many clues would be interrupted and the possibilities would be infinitely magnified.
"Are there any surveillance devices inside the school?" Thinking of this, I turned around and asked Lao Zhao, who said helplessly: "No, although there are indeed a few cameras in the school, they are all broken. The purpose is just to scare those students who want to jump over the wall to skip school."
Since there is no surveillance equipment, the matter will be even more troublesome. I told Lao Zhao about my previous thoughts and asked him to find someone to investigate carefully at night. Then I continued to follow Lao Zhao towards the Academic Affairs Office.
The school's academic affairs office is in an office building. At this time, the lights in the office building were dark, except for the room of the academic affairs office. When we came to the so-called academic affairs office, we saw a middle-aged man with greasy hair and powdered face, who was talking on the phone with a sad face. I didn't listen carefully, but just from a few words I guessed that he was talking to the principal of the school or someone from the local education bureau. Obviously, this matter was a very serious matter for this school.
The middle-aged man ignored us for the time being because he was on the phone. Old Zhao pointed at the two young male classmates who were sitting on the sofa and fidgeting and said, "These two are the boyfriend of the deceased and the son of the security guard. Come here. The higher-ups have sent people to investigate. Tell them everything you know."
The two students stood up and came over. I looked at the two boys carefully. They were not very tall, but very thin. One of them looked sad and had a lot of freckles on his face. But I could tell that if he didn't have freckles, he would be a handsome guy. After all, he has a delicate appearance. The freckled student had red eyes and looked like he had been crying. I guess he was the boyfriend of the deceased.
The other person had an expression of "it's none of my business" on his face, and he kept twisting his head throughout the whole process, looking very indignant. I guess he must be the security guard's son.
"Can you please introduce yourselves first? I can tell who you are."
The freckled boy sighed and said, "My name is Li Yifeng, and I'm Xiaolei's boyfriend."
Another boy said arrogantly: "My name is Wu Yifan. I don't know why you brought me here. What does this have to do with me?"
After hearing their self-introductions, Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue, and I were all stunned. Bai Longfei immediately asked, "Are you two brothers? With these names, aren't you afraid of being beaten up by fans when you go out?"
I interrupted Bai Longfei and said, "If that's the case, then I'll ask you one by one. Let me ask you first, Wu Yifan. Tell me in detail where did you get the book that you left at your father's workplace?"
Wu Yifan snorted coldly and said, "I have explained this matter more than ten thousand times. It was given to me by a female classmate I don't know. Why don't you believe it?"
I smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to know more clearly. What does the female classmate who gave you the book look like? At least she has some physical features, right?"
Maybe it was because of my tone that Wu Yifan said, "I have long forgotten what she looked like, but I remember that she had long brown hair, and it was loose, not tied up. I was a little puzzled at the time, because she would definitely be criticized for dressing like this in school, but I didn't care and just left with the book."
In my heart, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Wu Yifan. I thought to myself that the girl gave you a book. Although her purpose might be a little questionable, you just took the book and left without even trying to hook up with her. You deserve to be single for the rest of your life.
However, I vaguely discovered that the female classmate who gave him the book as described by Wu Yifan seemed to be somewhat similar in appearance to the female murderer who was mopping the floor in the bathroom that Lao Zhao told me about before. It seems that these two people should be the same person.
"Do you know the origin of the book in the hands of others? It is said that this book is very popular in your school now."
Wu Yifan said impatiently: "Why should I care about them? Studying is the priority now, so why do I have time to read these idle books?"
Before Wu Yifan finished speaking, Li Yifeng, who had been silent, suddenly seemed to remember something and said in a trembling voice, "I remember that the last time I saw Xiaolei, she seemed to be reading the book you mentioned, and she also said some inexplicable things at that time."
