Leaving classroom 101, Yang Ye and Gu Liang returned to the teacher's dormitory where Yang Ye lived.
The two turned on Yang Ye's computer, entered the teaching system, and carefully read the information of each student. Firstly, to confirm the height of the students; secondly, to take a closer look at their respective strengths and skills.
From the perspective of specialties, there is no clue for the time being.
What is shown in the information is the same as the results of everyone's evidence search - Li Xiaoyu is the only one who can hypnotize.
From the point of view of height, from Gu Liang's point of view, after excluding himself, the only possible boy is Qian Huahua, whose height is 180cm.
There are a total of eight students in this class, consisting of four boys and four girls.
Now two boys have died, Zhao Mathematics and Gu Fuban, the only remaining boys are Gu Liang and Qian Huahua, so if the murderer is a man, it can only be Qian Huahua. He was also the suspect selected by Yang Ye's vote on the first day.
As for the girls, the ones who are still alive are Meng Yuwen and Li Yingwen, who are suspected of being blamed one after another, Wu Shengsheng, who made the speech, and Zhu Physics. Among them, Zhu Physics was the person Gu Liang chose during the first day of voting.
Among the four girls, Li Yingwen and Wu Shengsheng are not tall, they are 160 cm and 162 cm respectively.
Meng Yuwen is good at sports, especially shot put, with a height of 177 cm; next is Zhu Physics, who is 178 cm tall.
But Meng Yuwen was locked in classroom 201, and she could be excluded from the reasoning of Gu Liang and Yang Ye.
So, the biggest suspect is Zhu Physics.
In Gu Liang's reasoning, the fewer steps the real murderer took, the better, and the cracked chair cannot be stepped on directly.
Therefore, the real murderer should not move another intact chair to the podium, step on it to put the remote control on the fan, and finally replace the bloody chair that was used as the murder weapon.
In addition, the murderer set up this trick with the purpose of pushing everything to Li Yingwen.
Therefore, it is basically certain that the real culprit is the remote control placed on the podium.
So judging from their height, the murderer was still locked on Zhu Physics and Qian Huahua.
In fact, yesterday, Gu Liang and Yang Ye were most suspicious of the two of them. After the second case and today's reasoning, it was further confirmed that the real culprit was among these two people.
The voting time at 5:00 p.m. was very close, and under the tight schedule, after leaving Teacher Yang's dormitory, Yang Ye and Gu Liang started to split up.
Yang Ye went to check other people's mouths, to see if he could find the person who moved the cracked chair into the classroom.
Gu Liang found Director Xiang and invited him to the director's dormitory for a private talk.
3:30 p.m.
In the director's dormitory.
Director Xiang looked at Gu Liang and asked, "I'm not a suspect, why are you looking for me?"
Gu Liangdao: "July 23rd is the first day of this script. We have classes in the morning and exams in the afternoon. After the exam, Meng Yuwen went to the library first; after her, at 6 pm, Wu Biology went to The library. At the same time, Qian Huahua went to your dormitory, which is this room."
"Qian Huahua is the only one who has never been to the library. It is impossible to know about last year's serial murder case, so he can't imitate the case. So Wu Biology ruled out his suspicion very early. In fact, we can basically understand this point. Accepted. But I still want to ask in detail, what exactly did he come to this dormitory that day?"
Director Xiang thought for a while and replied: "Oh, I was the one who asked him. It should be more formal to call the students to the dormitory, but it's a bit casual to call the students to the dormitory... But what I thought at the time was that my dormitory also has computers and the like. Office supplies, just talk to him briefly, and I can rest directly in the dormitory, and it is also convenient for him to go back to his own dormitory opposite, so I asked him to come to my dormitory."
"The matter for me to find him is very simple. When I checked the student files in the afternoon, I found that his information was incomplete. So after I met him in the cafeteria, I asked him to come to my dormitory and completed his information on my dormitory computer. .”
Gu Liang immediately frowned and asked, "What is the specific information?"
Director Xiang replied: "The two columns of home address and parent's contact information are blank, and I don't know why they are missing. I asked him to dictate, and I added these two lines."
Gu Liang asked: "What about other materials?"
Director Xiang: "Everything else is complete."
Gu Liang frowned, grasping something sensitively, his gaze sank. "But is there such a possibility? Some menu bars are not blank, but not complete."
Director Xiang: "You mean..."
Gu Liangdao: "What I mean is that since the student's information is missing, the information of other people, or Qian Huahua, is incomplete. Qian Huahua's current specialty is only high jump, but whether he has other skills, it may be Is it left out, not filled in the file? Or, has he won other awards, but it is not in the file.”
Director Xiang: "Well... I don't know. Anyway, in my plot, when I checked the information in the afternoon, I found that two columns were missing. But I don't know if the rest of the fields have been filled in completely."
"Wait... Let me revise the statement, what awards the students have won, this must not be wrong. This is what I recorded. I don't know if other basic information, such as the column of specialty, is missing."
Gu Liang couldn't help asking: "Who filled in the basic information of the students, such as each person's specialty?"
Director Xiang: "It's in the system of the Academic Affairs Office. When I saw it, it was already there, but it didn't go through my hands anyway. Why don't you go ask the principal."
Director Xiang's answer was a bit strange.
But combined with the geniuses of the students and the similarities between last year and this year's students, Gu Liang can only think that this is the tip of the iceberg of the real story, which needs to be excavated in the subsequent stages.
Then he had to focus on the serial murder case in front of him for the time being.
The timeline of the project director reveals an obvious message—student materials may be incomplete.
Well, although it doesn't show that Qian Hua can hypnotize, in fact he might be able to.
Gu Liang turned on Director Xiang's computer, and asked again: "Can I trouble you to log in with your authority, so I can take a look?"
Director Xiang generously entered the account password to enter the teaching system.
Gu Liang took a quick look and found that the director and Yang Ye had the same reading permissions, but different writing permissions.
——Yang Ye can only read the students' files and cannot modify them, but Director Xiang has the right to modify them.
This actually gave Gu Liang a new idea—is it possible that Qian Huahua once had the skill of "hypnosis" in the column of specialties, but Qian Huahua changed it himself.
Gu Liang thought of this idea, and immediately asked Director Xiang: "When Qian Huahua came to you, did you leave halfway? Is it possible for him to change his information?"
Director Xiang said: "I went out and answered a call, about 1-2 minutes. But...he can't change it."
Director Xiang clicked with the mouse and showed it to Gu Liang: "Here, here is the edited historical data, you can check it out."
Gu Liang compared it carefully, and the time and traces of the changes made by the editors to the students' materials were indeed recorded on the webpage.
The records showed that the column of Qian Chemical's specialties had not been modified in any way.
Gu Liang stared at the computer screen for a long time, thought of something, then returned to the main interface, and opened the information of the students from the previous class of Class 7.
In the group photo of the students of the seventh class in the previous class, the photos of five people were all processed into black and white, because they were all dead. The other three are in color.
Gu Liang also read these materials on Yang Ye's computer at first.
But at that time, the two had already started a lot of speculation and discussions about the plot, and with the reunion after a long absence, Gu Liang didn't bother to read these materials carefully.
As for Yang Ye's place just now, the two reopened the system, focusing on the height and specialties of the students of this year, that is, they didn't click on the information of the previous year to take a closer look.
At this moment, Gu Liang carefully looked at the information column of the previous session, only to find that there are some differences.
In Gu Liang's class, there is only a button to return to the main interface in the side menu bar, but there is an additional "Related News" button in the same position as the student profile of this class.
Gu Liang clicked on this location, the page jumped, and many news reports appeared.
—These reports are exactly the same as the ones he saw in the library, except that paper newspapers have been transformed into text versions.
Gu Liang browsed through the relevant reports of the serial murder case in the past year, and then looked at Director Xiang: "So, Qian Huahua may have seen these reports while you were on the phone. Although he has never been to the library, but He may have seen these reports and then knew the details of the serial killings last year. You didn't tell me about this before."
Director Xiang blinked his eyes a few times and scratched his head: "Then I really didn't expect it. The few of us teaching staff were very paddling in the first stage. I was a little bit distracted and forgot to analyze it too much. This thing...but..."
"But I can't be sure that Qian Huahua lied. What if he really didn't see it. I made a call for less than 2 minutes and came back quickly after the call. The interface didn't change at that time .I didn't expect..."
Gu Liang didn't say anything more.
Indeed, Qian Huahua only had the possibility of knowing about the serial murder case last year, but if he couldn't kill him, he must have lied.
In this way, leaving Director Xiang's dormitory, Gu Liang returned to the corridor next to the flower bed.
This is the meeting place he made an appointment with Yang Ye.
After a while, Yang Ye came as scheduled.
Gu Liang shared the information he got from the director with Yang Ye, and then asked Yang Ye: "How is the situation over there?"
Before locking the door last night, when everyone was moving the tables and chairs, Gu Liang and Yang Ye went to the vending machine in the cafeteria to buy things, so they couldn't see the scene.
Yang Ye shook his head and said, "The real murderer is really cunning. I asked, and it was the principal and the director who said that boys do physical work, but girls don't have to do it. Therefore, the tables and chairs were made by Qian Huahua, the principal, the director, and Gao Canteen. Two men moved together. And what they moved were the tables and chairs closest to the classroom door."
Gu Liang thought for a while, and said: "The real culprit is that everyone needs tables and chairs to play cards and eat snacks at night. If no one proposes, then he can't directly arouse suspicion by hinting or suggesting. Because it's a very reasonable suggestion."
"What you said just now shows that the discussion ended yesterday afternoon. After we moved the tables and chairs to the corridor, the real murderer returned to the corridor and put the chairs he wanted to use at the place closest to the classroom door. In this way, That chair that can be used by him to kill people is very likely to be moved in."
Yang Ye nodded: "Yes. I think it is very unlikely that the murderer broke the chair before the murder. It would make a lot of noise and wake us up."
"And I asked around, and no one knew that there was a problem with the chair. Then it is very likely that the real culprit broke the chair by himself, and it was probably during class. But he didn't say anything. He just checked it quietly afterwards. The chair, after discovering the pattern of the screw, which is exactly the same as the pattern of the window lock, thought that he could dismantle the chair into a murder weapon."
After hearing this, Gu Liang looked up at the flower bed not far away. That was the scene of the first crime.
At this moment, the sun is westward, shedding a hazy yellow.
Gu Liang said slowly: "I have to say that your intuition is very accurate. Although I voted for Zhu Physics for the first time, I now also think that Qian Huahua is more suspected. But the question is, how can I vote at 5 o'clock?" How about finding his real criminal evidence before voting? Do you really want to hide the tarot cards?"
Yang Yedao: "I just made an appointment with everyone in classroom 102 at 4:10. In addition, I did decide to use tarot cards to set up sets, but instead of hiding them, I showed them."
"Liangliang, I thought of a bad move, do you want to listen?"
