"How could you escape for no reason? How do you do things?!"
Originally, Bai Longfei had an inexplicable suspicion towards Wu Yifan. Wu Yifan was not a suspect in the current incident, so Bai Longfei had ruled out Wu Yifan's suspicion in his heart. But who knew that Lao Zhao suddenly said this at this time, making Bai Longfei feel that he had made a wrong judgment again. That was why Bai Longfei was so irritable now.
I understand Bai Longfei. Seeing that Lao Zhao was too scared to speak, I immediately tried to smooth things over by saying, "Don't worry. There is always a way to solve the problem. Lao Zhao, take your time."
Old Zhao felt a little better and breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, I don't know the specific situation very well. I was monitoring the security guard at the time. I heard this from my colleagues at the station. They said that when Wu Yifan's father came to deliver food, Wu Yifan said he had a stomachache and went to the toilet, and then he took the opportunity to slip away. Now my people are trying their best to catch him, and I don't think he can get far!"
As he spoke, Lao Zhao suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Based on the time Wu Yifan escaped, it is entirely possible that he returned to the campus to kill people. Do you want us to send someone to search the school quickly?"
Before I could say anything, Bai Longfei immediately said, "What are you waiting for? If you are any later, they will run away!"
When Lao Zhao sent people out to search for Wu Yifan's whereabouts, Ding Yang and his team arrived in time. Ding Yang looked at me tiredly and said, "What's going on? People die every day?"
I was powerless to refute his words, so I could only sigh and say, "It was our mistake. Go and take a look at the body. The time of death of this body is very important to us."
Ding Yang then led his men into the bathroom and began to examine the body. Lao Zhao also found the deceased's cell phone from the backpack in the deceased's dormitory and gave it to Ding Yang and his men to do fingerprint identification.
I was in a daze thinking about everything that happened today. Lin Yingxue quietly came to my side and asked, "This case looks so complicated now. All the clues have become confusing. Several people who were supposed to be listed as suspects have nothing to do with this third murder case, but Wu Yifan, who was ruled out as a suspect, is linked to this case. Do you have any clues?"
I shook my head and said, "Not yet. Actually, you are wrong. This case seems to have many suspicious points, and the suspects are all suspected of murder, but there are actually only three questions that we don't understand. As long as we understand these three questions, this case can be closed."
"The first question is, is the murderer Li Sha? I originally thought that the murderer must be Li Sha, but after going around in circles, I am still not sure about this. But if the murderer is Li Sha, how did she hide in the campus without being discovered and kill people?"
"The second question is, how did the murderer disappear from the crime scene in an instant after killing someone?"
"The third question is, this transfer student died just after arriving at this school. From the previous encounters with her, this person is indeed one of the people the murderer must kill. But the only thing that makes me curious is why this transfer student transferred to this school at this critical moment? Could it be that her coming here to study is related to the Teachers College next door? After all, the biggest suspicion is the Teachers College next door. I think we need to go there to investigate further."
I told Lin Yingxue my three doubts, but she obviously didn't understand what I meant and looked at me in confusion. I was too lazy to explain and just thought quietly, waiting for Ding Yang's investigation results.
After about ten minutes, Ding Yang came out of the bathroom and asked several police officers to carry the body back. He took off his gloves and masks and said, "The time of death was about eight o'clock. The cause of death was still suffocation, that is, strangled by the murderer. The only difference is that after the death of the deceased, the murderer used all his strength to tear the deceased's mouth up and down. At present, it seems that the murderer should have grabbed the deceased's hand to do so, so the current scene appeared. As for whether there are any clues left on the body of the deceased, I still have to wait until I go back to investigate."
Ding Yang has said the same thing to me three times. I was immediately puzzled and asked, "It's been so long, and there's still no investigation?"
Ding Yang said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do. The equipment here is relatively backward. I am not very used to it. Moreover, the accuracy of many things is not very high. I have to verify it again and again. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."
Seeing Ding Yang's tired expression, he must have been busy with these things these days, so I didn't say anything else and let Ding Yang take the body back first.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yang had just left when the dean of studies came into the dormitory. Although he did not see the horrible appearance of the corpse, he was frightened to death when he saw so much blood on the bathroom sink. He said to me anxiously, "Dear police officers, we are in real trouble this time! This transfer student is the daughter of a local tycoon. He was furious when he learned that his daughter was dead. He directly arrested the principal of our school and questioned him. He also threatened that if the murderer is not caught and his daughter is not given an explanation within tomorrow, he will make our school closed down and make the principal and I pay with our lives. You have to make the decision for me. I know nothing!"
Bai Longfei said angrily, "Is this rich man so arrogant? I'll see tomorrow if he dares to touch you! No matter how much money he has, our special case team will catch him without hesitation. There is no law!"
Bai Longfei's words seemed to give the dean of studies a reassurance. The dean's brows relaxed a lot, but he still sighed, "Although you can temporarily save me and the principal, after you leave, that rich man can still kill me without anyone noticing. You four have lived here for so long investigating, don't you have any clues about the murderer?"
After being told this by the Dean of Studies, Bai Longfei immediately frowned and said, "What do you mean? Are you questioning the ability of our special case team to handle cases? If you can do it, then you can come and investigate, and we won't care!"
The dean saw that Bai Longfei was angry and was about to dissuade him. However, I, who had been standing quietly beside him thinking, seemed to have seen a bright light. I immediately turned around and asked the dean, "What did you say just now? What did that sentence mean?"
After the dean explained the doubts in my mind clearly, some of the mysteries in my mind about the murderer were finally solved. Before I could continue asking, it was time for the students to finish their evening self-study. The bell for the end of class echoed throughout the campus. Then, the originally quiet campus began to become noisy. Those students who finished their evening self-study went home, and those who returned to the dormitory naturally came towards this side. It won’t be long before this third murder case will be exposed throughout the campus, triggering a new round of panic.
But at this moment, I suddenly seemed to understand something, and immediately turned around and ran towards the dormitory on the fifth floor where I stayed yesterday. Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue didn't know where I was going, but they immediately followed me.
When I arrived at our dormitory, I saw something inconspicuous that completely coincided with what I was thinking, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Longfei behind me stared at me and asked, "What's wrong? Did you think of something?"
"I thought I had solved all the puzzles, but I didn't expect that I was still a step too late." I said with some regret as I looked at the students who were returning to the dormitory in groups of three or five downstairs.
Bai Longfei didn't understand what I meant for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? A step too late? Could it be that the murderer has completely escaped and will never come back? It seems that the murderer must be Wu Yifan!"
I didn't answer Bai Longfei's words, but turned around and walked out of the dormitory, saying as I walked: "Let's go to the laboratory building again. If this thing is also in the laboratory building, we will go back and catch the murderer immediately!"
When we returned from the laboratory building, the dean had already called all the people involved in the case and some teachers to the Academic Affairs Office, except Wu Yifan whose whereabouts were unknown.
The dean's action was not my idea, and I don't know what exactly he was trying to do, but by doing this, he indirectly helped me a little.
All of us were crowded in the spacious Academic Affairs Office, which seemed quite crowded. However, who would have thought that the Dean would call these people over, give them some soul-stirring education, and then beg them that if anyone was the murderer, please come out and confess, and not to implicate everyone in the school.
The dean's behavior made us all speechless. It was obvious that he had begun to lose faith in our ability to handle the case. However, no one present paid any attention to him. After he finished his speech, everyone else yawned one after another. The dean also knew that he was in a very embarrassing situation at the moment. Finally, he sighed and asked everyone to go back.
When everyone was ready to go out, Bai Longfei stood at the door of the Academic Affairs Office, leaning against the door frame and looking at the ceiling. The person closest to him saw Bai Longfei like this and thought that Bai Longfei would not let him leave, but Bai Longfei smiled and said, "You can just go over like this. My waist hurts a little, and it's more comfortable to lean against the door frame."
The man looked at Bai Longfei in confusion, but there was nothing he could do. The door frame was originally narrow, and now with Bai Longfei there, it seemed even more crowded. The man had to lean sideways and squeeze out through the other side of the door.
The people behind him also squeezed out of the door one by one, but when one person squeezed out of the door, Bai Longfei, Lin Yingxue and I couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on our faces. I immediately said to Bai Longfei: "Brother Long, do it!"
