The director smiled and said: "Okay, okay." He suddenly made a gesture to the person outside the door. The person understood and asked the policeman on duty outside the door to go away and close the door. When the director saw that everyone had retreated, he stood up and leaned towards Zhang Jianfeng and Xiaolan and said, "You two are smart people. Can't you see the true meaning of my report?" Zhang Jianfeng pretended to be stupid and said: "You mean..." the director lowered his voice: "Almost all the forensic doctors told me this: This person should have died long ago. Do you understand what I mean? That is to say, the person who was killed was a person who had been dead for more than a week. You have lived with a corpse for a week. And I want to know what happened now." Zhang Jianfeng had already reached this point, and Zhang Jianfeng had to express his position and said: "Impossible, if Wang Xinjun He has been dead for a long time. It is impossible that the people in his dormitory will not notice it. Moreover, if a person is dead, how can he still move around?" The director said: "I don't care about this. In fact, it is very simple to prove whether he is dead. The body is If you can't eat, I would like to ask Wang Xinjun how his diet was in the week before he was hit by a car?" Diet? Suddenly a light flashed in Zhang Jianfeng's mind. He remembered that just that week, he asked Wang Xinjun to eat at McDonald's. Wang Xinjun refused. Zhang Jianfeng was very strange at that time: "Hey, Xinjun, don't you like food very much? Why don't you go?" ? If you don’t have the money, I can hire you.” Wang Xinjun smiled and said, “No need really. I’m going back to the dormitory.” Then he heard the people in his dormitory complain: “I don’t know what’s going on with him these days. He's actually eating cold tea and rice, big bowls of it. Was there a fire in his house?" Zhang Jianfeng was startled. He raised his head and met the director's aggressive gaze and said, "How was it? Do you recall anything? ?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "He seemed to eat bibimbap very well that week, and his appetite was better than usual." The director looked a little disappointed, pressed his fat body back on the chair, and lit a flue : "In short, I think this case is very bizarre. It is definitely not a car accident or anything like that. I suspect it is a premeditated murder case. If you find anything unusual, you must report it to me as soon as possible." Zhang Jianfeng He said: "Of course, of course, farewell." He picked up Xiaolan, rubbed oil on her soles, and ran away. A man came in from outside and said, "Chief, do you have any questions?" The police chief snorted and said, "I never thought that guy was so smart. I almost asked him to lead me by the nose. Find a few Capable people should keep an eye on them. As long as this case is solved, I can be promoted."

It wasn't until they got on the bus that Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief: "The police chief looked like the King of Hell. He was so ferocious that it scared me to death." Zhang Jianfeng glanced at her and said, "You are the monitor, and you didn't say a word there. , I'm the one dealing with him, why are you so nervous?" Xiaolan said unconvinced: "He was asking about Wang Xinjun's daily life, and of course he was asking about you, a boy. What do I know?" Zhang Jianfeng said, "Don't talk too much. Now Wang Xinjun's clues can be said to be completely cut off. By the way, didn't Li Zhuang say that he knew the inside story of the car accident?" Xiao Lan said: "Do you believe him? In that car accident, he went to buy drinks with someone. Everyone has been killed before he rushed over. What do you think he might know?" Zhang Jianfeng smiled softly and said: "Don't talk about Wang Xinjun, even the boy Li Zhuang has become worse since he lost his footing and fell into the East Lake that night. It's weird, as if he has changed." "XX Normal University is here." After Zhang Jianfeng entered the school gate, he suddenly pulled Xiaolan and turned to the west. Xiaolan was shocked and said: "Where are you going? "Zhang Jianfeng said concisely: "East Lake." Xiaolan hurriedly threw his hand away and said: "What do you want to do, you big pervert?" Zhang Jianfeng said urgently: "It's about Wang Xinjun, stop making trouble." He pulled her up and flew away. Run away.

East Lake is the largest lake in this normal university and is also a key biological reserve. Although it is the dry season, East Lake still stands in the West District with its usual beautiful scenery. The waves are sparkling, the sun is shining, and the green bamboo forest next to it makes a soft "rustling" sound accompanied by the sound of wind. Xiaolan glanced at Zhang Jianfeng and saw that he was lost in thought facing the lake. Xiaolan asked strangely: "Didn't we come to talk about Wang Xinjun? Why are you looking at the lake?" Zhang Jianfeng pointed around the lake and said: "Did you see it? The house is surrounded on three sides of the lake, and the only one that can be close to the East Lake is this side. This side is surrounded by waist-high railings, and a small circle of solid white embankments are built under the slope." Xiaolan said blankly: "Yeah, so what?"

I Zhang Jianfeng suddenly took off his coat, slipped through the gap in the railing onto the slope and said, "Help, I'm going to pretend to slip and fall into the lake now. You stay up there and watch my movements." Xiaolan was shocked and said: "Zhang Jianfeng, you Why are you so nervous? I can't save you if you really fall!" Zhang Jianfeng stood steadily on the grass on the slope and said, "I just wanted to fall. Don't worry, I'm from the class. Famous water ghost, can this small amount of water drown me to death?" After saying that, she slammed her feet to the ground, her whole body instantly lost balance and slid down quickly. Xiaolan screamed, but she saw Zhang Jianfeng's feet touching When we reached the river embankment below, the downward trend was blocked by those protruding stones. Seeing that Zhang Jianfeng did not fall, Xiaolan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could recover, Zhang Jianfeng had already climbed up the slope and slid down again, once, twice, three times... Zhang Jianfeng was steady every time. The ground stopped at the river embankment. It was not until the seventh time that Zhang Jianfeng climbed over the railing, put on his coat, and said to Xiao Lan, who was already dumbfounded: "I have done experiments again and again. Do you know what I really mean?" Do you understand the meaning?" Xiaolan came back to her senses and said: "I understand, it is impossible to slip and fall into the lake from the slope. Li Zhuang is lying. He has never been to East Lake at all."

Zhang Jianfeng smiled and said: "Then you are wrong again. These days, the teachers in the biology department are working on a scientific research project and put a lot of seaweed into the lake. That night, I found these in Li Zhuang's wet hair. Seaweed. There is no doubt that he fell into the lake." "But," Xiaolan said, "You clearly mean that it is impossible for him to slip and fall into the water." Zhang Jianfeng continued to look at the lake in a daze and said, "No. It's impossible. Since it's impossible to slip and fall into the water, there's only one possibility." As he said that, he looked back at Xiaolan and slowly said those amazing words: "He jumped in by himself."

"You're kidding!!" Xiaolan's whole face turned red with fear: "Why did he jump in?" Zhang Jianfeng said with piercing eyes: "This is exactly the question I want to know most. I clearly asked him to stay in the dormitory that night, What's more important than keeping promises and keeping one's word? Even if he is a person who often goes back on his word, he shouldn't let go of his classmates' remains. Besides, there are some biophysics laboratories around East Lake. There are shops on the left and doors on the right. Li What did Zhuang do here? So, I think, maybe the real secret of Wang Xinjun's death may be in his hands." Xiaolan retorted: "He just told a lie, I don't think this Donghu What does it have to do with Wang Xinjun?" Zhang Jianfeng said: "That's not what you said. In fact, not only do I not understand why he jumped into the lake, but how he got up is also confusing to me." Xiaolan said: "It's very simple, climb up Come up..." Zhang Jianfeng interrupted her and said: "It's not simple at all. It's the dry season now. The water level is a full meter from the surface of the river embankment. There is a lot of moss clinging to the wall. Do you think you can barely pass the swimming test by cheating? Is Li Zhuang capable of climbing up? Besides, he still has injuries on his feet. He's lucky that he didn't drown." Xiaolan was startled: "Yes, then how did he get up?" Zhang Jianfeng said: " After much thought, there is only one possibility." This time Xiaolan blurted out: "Someone pulled him up, so it must be like this!" Zhang Jianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Yes, he definitely wouldn't be able to get up if there was no one. In this way, the ins and outs of everything became clear. The reason why Li Zhuang went against common sense and left Wang Xinjun's body alone and ran out was because he wanted to go out to East Lake to meet someone alone, maybe to discuss some secret matter. The two of them An agreement was finally reached, otherwise Li Zhuang would not have rushed back. We still don’t know who he went out to meet and what he was discussing, but we can at least speculate: that Li Zhuang jumped into the lake with the same intention. This matter is closely related. I was thinking in the car just now, what on earth did he do when he jumped into the lake?" Xiaolan couldn't help but be fascinated: "Then have you figured it out?" Zhang Jianfeng nodded and said: "I think There are many possibilities, but the most likely thing is that Li Zhuang jumped into the lake to pick up something, something that might have been thrown into the lake by that person." At this point, Zhang Jianfeng turned his head and looked at Xiao Lan and said : "So I suspect that Li Zhuang may really hold the secret key to Wang Xinjun's death. You'd better listen to him." Xiao Lan said: "But don't you think his behavior is very weird? Li Zhuang is your friend. My friend is also Wang Xinjun's good friend, and I only have a casual friendship with him. Logically speaking, if I have any big secrets, I should tell you first. Why did he find me first?" Zhang Jianfeng thought for a long time. , shook his head and said: "I can't think of anything. If you want to know the answer now, you can only do what he said. It's almost time now, you can go back and ask him." Xiaolan nodded and said: "What about you? Zhang Jianfeng said: "That boy from Li Zhuang just received the money from home. He will definitely not treat you to breakfast. I will be miserable. If I can't find the big money, I will starve to death." Xiao Lan sneered. "You are such a handsome guy, and if you just wink at me on the street, thousands of confidantes will come over to invite you. What are you afraid of?" Zhang Jianfeng said strangely: "Huh?" Why do you know more about me than I do? Besides, it’s none of my business how many confidants I have. Why is the squad leader so angry? Could it be..." Before he finished speaking, a large piece of grass with dirt flew towards him, and Zhang Jianfeng screamed "Wow" and jumped out. run.

He went to the bathroom with his pipa half-hidden, and finally washed away the pile of mud on his face, and then cursed to bless Xiaolan. After encountering several big perverts and gangsters on the road, Zhang Jianfeng walked towards Yingying with ease. Garden, ready for a big meal. At this moment, he vaguely heard a loud noise coming from behind. Zhang Jianfeng looked back and saw several lines of people holding signs and banners approaching him. It turned out to be a demonstration. Zhang Jianfeng retreated to the side, ready to take a look at the excitement, but saw the words "Strongly protest against the school's disregard for student safety" and "Until the debris is removed, there will never be peace" written on the banner. Zhang Jianfeng was confused and happened to catch a glimpse of something inside. A familiar senior brother hurriedly sneaked up to him and said, "Senior brother, it's me, what kind of debris are you protesting against?" Seeing that it was his beloved junior brother, the senior brother naturally said bluntly: "That's the stuff piled up in our department. There are some boxes or other sundries in the northeast corner of the courtyard below the building." Zhang Jianfeng suddenly felt a little funny: "These sundries are everywhere, and we have more of them there than you, so there is no need to protest so seriously, right? We are If you are not blind, how can you still hit him?" The senior brother said: "That's not what you said. We didn't care about this at the beginning. It wasn't until recently that we discovered that this was actually a very serious hidden danger. If it weren't for this pile of debris, Hong Bin will not die at all." Zhang Jianfeng asked in confusion: "Who is Hong Bin?" The senior brother said: "A classmate in our department jumped to his death at the end of last month." Zhang Jianfeng then remembered the sensational incident on the 31st of last month There was an incident of jumping off a building in the school. It was said that a senior fellow from a certain department suddenly went crazy during self-study in the classroom at night. He rushed to the balcony with open hands and yelled. Before his classmates could catch him, he had already jumped. It was later officially diagnosed as a heart attack that caused confusion. Zhang Jianfeng was even more confused and said: "He died because he jumped off the building. It seems to have nothing to do with the sundries." The senior brother sneered and said: "It has a big relationship. Our self-study classroom is on the third floor. No matter how delicate it is, If a weak person jumps, he will be crippled at most and will not die at all. Hong Bin hit his head on the corner of the box when he jumped, and his skull was shattered and died. Don't say anything about someone else jumping off the building, just He said that we boys usually like to chase and fight, and one of us accidentally climbed over the balcony and fell from the seventh floor. We were lucky. Naturally, we had nothing to say. We were afraid that we would die if we fell from the first floor." Zhang Jianfeng Hearing this, he smiled and said: "So that's it. The school must have blocked the news again. No one is guilty if you don't know. Don't blame me, senior brother." After saying that, he quit the team and walked towards the cherry garden. "It's really scary. Thinking of the window There are those things in the back, and the rice straw is still stained with brains. I don't dare to go to class there." Someone in the crowd whispered this, and in an instant, Zhang Jianfeng stayed there like a thunderbolt, and then rushed back Go to that senior brother's side. When the senior brother saw Zhang Jianfeng leaving and returning, he asked curiously: "What are you doing?" Zhang Jianfeng asked eagerly: "Is there rice straw in your pile of debris?" The senior brother said: "Yes, there is still some rice straw left on it. Where are the brains, you ask... Hey, where are you going?" Zhang Jianfeng just waved his hand and ran away like a whirlwind.

Looking around, it was quiet and there were few people around. Xiaolan turned back and smiled at Li Zhuang: "There are few people here. If you have anything, just tell me." Li Zhuang looked around and saw that few people were passing by, so he put down Heartbroken. Xiaolan said: "You are too careful. Just tell me." Li Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know whether I should tell you this. I'm afraid you will be unhappy..." Xiaolan interrupted: "You tell me, at most I promise that I will never be unhappy." Li Zhuang said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I have always wanted to tell you that I like you." "What?!" Xiao Lan couldn't believe her ears at that moment, "I said I like..." Xiaolan interrupted quickly: "But... But didn't you tell me something about Wang Xinjun's death?" Li Zhuang smiled faintly: " That's just a cover. You've been busy with this matter for the past few days. If I don't bring up this topic, I'm afraid you won't agree. Please forgive me for deceiving you." Xiaolan was startled at this moment. Her whole mind went blank, and she didn't even hear what Li Zhuang said next. Li Zhuang saw her looking at the ground without saying a word, so he couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "I have confessed to you, what do you mean?" Xiaolan was startled, raised her head, and met Li Zhuang's fiery gaze. , couldn't help but blush on his face, and said nonchalantly: "I... I..." Li Zhuang took another step forward and said: "Date with me, I will treat you well." Xiaolan held back the words for a long time: "No ... You suddenly told me this now... I never thought about it, I... I need to think about it... and then... "

Li Zhuang waited for a long time, and when he saw that Xiaolan remained silent, he suddenly smiled and said: "If you don't want to be with me, just say it clearly. These things cannot be forced. I have expected this result. It seems that the rumors are true. Really, do you really like Zhang Jianfeng?" Xiaolan looked up in shock and shouted: "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him." Li Zhuang laughed and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. There is no crime in liking someone, and there is no crime in rejecting someone. I just hope I can leave some memories. I wonder if I can kiss you?" Xiaolan was shocked, her usual sharp teeth were gone. Only the blush on his face spread quickly like a burning cloud, and his head lowered lower and lower: "I... you..." Li Zhuang walked towards her gently and slowly lowered his head.
