[Not Guilty Defense-07]

When Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen left, Zhu Xiaoting's mood had improved a lot.

Being alone and waiting for a verdict and having a lawyer to help you are two completely different experiences. The unfortunate girl's mentality has stabilized, at least she won't be emotionally broken and confess her guilt to the police. As long as she insists that she did not kill, things will turn around.

After returning to Minghui Law Firm, Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen went to Lin Manluo immediately.

The entire team dispatched an investigation today. Only Sister Manluo stayed in the law office to summarize the data. Everyone will send her all the results of the investigation. When Yue Xingwen saw her, Lin Manluo had already compiled a detailed form.

Yue Xingwen asked, "Senior sister, do you have any new discoveries?"

Lin Manluo said: "Xin Yan and the others went to the School of Chemistry to investigate and found that there is potassium cyanide in the laboratory of the School of Chemistry, but this drug is a high-risk drug and is locked in a cabinet, making it difficult for students to obtain it unless someone secretly has it. With the key to the cabinet. Xin Yan suspects that the monitor and the academic committee of the Hua Institute may have privately assigned laboratory keys in their hands."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Xin Yan's guess is very reasonable, it is impossible to buy potassium cyanide directly on the market, and the laboratory of the College of Chemistry should be the cyanide that poisoned Liu Jiajia. The source of potassium. To get this poison, you must first be very familiar with the laboratory of the School of Chemistry.”

He asked in the group: "@xinyan, is there surveillance in the laboratory building of the School of Chemistry?"

Xin Yan replied: "There are surveillance cameras on every corridor, and it is almost impossible for the murderer to avoid the surveillance and steal the medicine. I think the murderer is a student of the School of Chemistry. He opened the cabinet and got the medicine. Or the murderer was a class cadre who had the key in his hand and went to the laboratory to get the medicine before the experiment started."

The murderer must have been familiar with the Chemistry Institute laboratory and knew which cabinet the potassium cyanide was stored in. Taking medicine in the preparatory stage before the experiment starts, or taking medicine after classmates leave after the experiment, and taking medicine on duty, will not be photographed abnormally by the monitoring in the corridor, and it will not be easy to cause suspicion.

Since a very small amount of potassium cyanide can kill you, maybe the teacher won't find that the medicine in the bottle is so few grams

Ke Shaobin wondered: "Shouldn't this kind of poison be controlled? Students can get it, isn't it very dangerous?"

Xin Yandao: "In our school's School of Chemistry, drugs are stored in the pharmacy room and managed by a special pharmacy teacher. Every time an experiment is done, students need to take the experiment application form and go to the pharmacy room to collect the requirements for this lesson. Therefore, there will be no situations where students take dangerous items privately. But this Beishan University is different. There is a medicine cabinet in the chemistry laboratory of this school, which is locked. If the teacher is more at ease with the students, put the key Give the students and let them prepare the experimental materials, which may lead to the situation of secretly assigning keys or stealing medicines."

Yue Xingwen said: "All the class cadres, students on duty, and those who have been in contact with the laboratory keys in the Chemistry College are suspicious. We must find people who know Liu Jiajia and have been to the beach yesterday to further narrow the scope."

Qin Lu said, "There is a list of registered guests in the shop for people who came to the beach barbecue yesterday. I took a photo with my mobile phone." She posted a photo to the group, and it turned out to be the name of the reserved guest, and yesterday's temporary presence. guest list.

Xin Yan followed closely: "I will find a way to get the list of the School of Chemistry, and if I compare it with this guest list, I can find the students of the School of Chemistry who appeared on the beach yesterday."

With ideas, the scope of the investigation will be further narrowed.

Yesterday, areas A and B of the beach barbecue area were pre-booked by law school students. Students from other colleges must have heard about the fact that the law school wanted to go out to eat barbecue together. For example, Zhu Xiaoting, a translation major, was caught by her friend Liu Jia. brought over. Other students may also bring their best friends and buddies out to play.

In addition, the seats in Area C are all FITs, and the murderer may also be among the passers-by in Area C.

In any case, since Liu Jiajia died around 4:30 in the morning, the murderer must have been to the beach yesterday, and lurked in the crowd who were camping last night, and started immediately after Zhu Xiaoting left.

Familiar with the chemical laboratory, have access to potassium cyanide, know Liu Jiajia, and appeared on the beach yesterday - the person who meets these four characteristics is the murderer of Liu Jiajia!

Liu Jiajia's case got some eyebrows, and Yue Xingwen followed up to inquire about the progress of Xie Xiangqin's case: "Where's the girls' dormitory?"

Qin Lu, who stayed in the girls' dormitory, said: "There are more than 40 girls who know Zhu Xiaoting in the girls' dormitory from the 8th floor to the 10th floor, and more than 30 of them are classmates of their translation college. About 10 people have dealt with Zhu Xiaoting in the medical school. , Zhao Canaan mentioned by Zhu Xiaoting, I asked her roommate privately, and I learned that she was not in the dormitory last night and was in the hospital for an internship."

Zhao Canaan, because the deceased Xie Xiangqin had robbed her boyfriend, and she and Zhu Xiaoting were high school classmates, so Zhu Xiaoting suspected that it was possible that Zhao Canan killed Xie Xiangqin and then blamed herself.

The boyfriend who was robbed holds a grudge and has a motive for committing the crime. Knowing Zhu Xiaoting, knowing that Zhu Xiaoting bought a fruit knife, there are conditions to blame, this girl is also quite suspicious in the eyes of Yue Xingwen.

But the result of Qin Miao's investigation was that she was not present last night

Yue Xingwen frowned and said, "Brother Liu, can you find out if Zhao Canan was an intern in the hospital last night?"

Liu Zhaoqing immediately called back to the hospital and asked his colleagues to check which department the intern Zhao Canan was in. A colleague from the hospital said, "Dr. Liu, Zhao Canan is an intern in our emergency department. He was on the night shift in the emergency ward last night."

Liu Zhaoqing thought about it carefully, and said, "I was on the night shift last night. There was indeed an intern with braids helping out in the emergency ward. She looked very serious. Everyone called her "Xiao Zhao", and that Xiao Zhao was Zhao Canan from Beishan University School of Medicine?"

The colleague said: "Yes!"

Yue Xingwen asked softly, "Will she leave the hospital privately at 5 in the morning?"

Liu Zhaoqing hung up the phone, shook his head and said, "No, the doctor's duty room is connected to the duty room where the intern sleeps. I woke up after four in the morning, and I didn't hear anyone pushing the door next door to go out. It seems that Xiao Zhao didn't go out until after seven o'clock. Wake up and say hello to me."

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Liu became a witness and provided an alibi to this student Zhao Canan. Since Zhao Canan was in the hospital last night, it is impossible for her to go back to school to kill Xie Xiangqin. The murderer is someone else.

Who will it be

Yue Xingwen said: "Senior Brother Liu, please check with the hospital. Among the medical students who knew the deceased, who was on the night shift at the hospital last night, and who went back to school to sleep, we have to try to narrow down the suspects as much as possible. scope."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and called his colleagues at the hospital to help investigate.

Soon he found out the results, selected a list of 5 people and sent it to the group: "These 5 medical school girls all went back to the dormitory last night, 3 of them live in the 811 dormitory, and 2 live in the 812 dormitory. , Qin Miao, go and ask."

Qin Miao's dormitory is on the 8th floor. After seeing the list, she knocked on the door of the 811 dormitory with a water cup, pretended to borrow water, and asked these girls to talk. The four people from 811 were all in the dormitory last night. Qin Miao asked, "What time did you get up today? I was woken up by screams downstairs early in the morning. It seemed that something happened to the 703 dormitory. Do you know what happened? "

The long-haired girl looked nervous: "It seems that someone is dead. Xie Xiangqin died. It's terrible! I heard that she was stabbed to death by Zhu Xiaoting."

Another short-haired girl said: "I didn't hear the screams. I was too tired from the night shift a few days ago and slept very deeply. Today is a rare holiday, and I slept until 10 o'clock in the night. This is still during lunch. Yoyo told me."

The long-haired girl said, "I also heard what Youyou said. I was too sleepy at the time, I heard screams in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep, and only after I woke up did I know that something happened downstairs."

Qin Miao asked, "Both of you were sleeping this morning? Only Xu Youyou ever went out?"

The short-haired girl nodded: "Well, Yoyo sleeps relatively lightly, and she has the habit of running every morning, and her schedule is very regular. Maybe she was woken up by screams, so let's go out and take a look."

Qin Miao thought thoughtfully: "Does Xu Youyou know Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting?"

The girl said: "She and Zhu Xiaoting used to work and study together, and they worked as assistants in the Academic Affairs Office. They should know each other. However, Yoyo has a cold personality and doesn't like talking to people."

Qin Miao chatted with the two girls for a while, and then went to the 812 dormitory to chat about what happened in the morning.

The head of dormitory 812 said, "I don't know. I was on night shift last night, and it was noon when I came back from night shift. By the way, Zhang Ning and Wang Xiaolu should have been there last night, right?"

Another roommate said: "Zhang Ning went home to live last night and Xiaolu was there. However, when I asked her at noon, Xiaolu said she didn't know what happened. Someone screamed early in the morning, and then the police came. , the police had already left when she went downstairs."

Qin Miao quickly sorted out the results of the investigation and sent it to the group: "In Dormitory 811, the two girls were sleeping when the crime happened, only Xu Youyou went out and knew that Xie Xiangqin was dead; Dormitory 812, Zhang Ning was a local, last night. I went home to live, the other two roommates were on night shift last night, and only Wang Xiaolu was alone in the dormitory."

Lin Manluo immediately marked the two names in red on the form: "Xu Youyou, who went out at 811, and Wang Xiaolu, who lived alone last night at 812, are both medical students, and no one can provide her with an alibi."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "These two should be investigated."

Jiang Pingce followed up and said: "We checked the deceased's boyfriend Zou Yijia. He played black games with his roommate last night and slept until 4 a.m. It is said that the entire dormitory slept until 1 noon. I just woke up. After learning about Xie Xiangqin's accident, his mood was a little broken, and when I went over, several roommates were persuading him."

Yue Xingwen: "Does he have an impression of Zhu Xiaoting?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Knowing, they are all from the School of Translation, but he doesn't seem to know that Zhu Xiaoting has a crush on him. By the way, he is currently a junior, and he is in love with the deceased Xie Xiangqin."

It seems that the biggest suspects are the two girls from the medical school. After all, only someone who has a good understanding of the structure of the human body can accurately stab Xie Xiangqin to death.

Yue Xingwen raised a doubt: "Xie Xiangqin died in the girls' dormitory 703 at around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. The girls will definitely lock the door when they sleep. The murderer wants to enter her room, either by knocking on the door or in the 703 dormitory in his hand. If the door was knocked in, someone knocked on the door early in the morning, and Xie Xiangqin might not have opened the door if he was sleeping at the time. The knocking on the door is too loud, and it is easy to attract the attention of the next dormitory. Therefore, I am more inclined that the murderer has a The key to 703's dormitory."

For those who have keys, in addition to the three roommates, there may also be people who have a close relationship with the roommates who have privately assigned the keys.

Yue Xingwen said decisively: "Everyone, print out all the photos of these suspects, and go to the hardware store with keys near the school to see who has been issued a key recently!"
