Compared with the girl who is so secretive, the girl with blond hair and a crew cut has a much looser mouth.
They were just a little uneasy and answered, "In fact, our club was founded by you. Brother Chang is experienced and a very nice person. He always led us in activities. But later... something unexpected happened."
"Tell me more details." Ji Feng said calmly.
The crew cut sighed and said slowly, "Let me tell you, Brother Chang's death had something to do with Jia Yue. We were climbing the mountain that day, and there was a very steep place, and Brother Chang told us not to go over there. But Jia Yue was a self-righteous person, so he wanted to act cool and deliberately jumped over there, but he stepped on empty space and almost fell down."
"That was a close call, luckily Brother Chang held me back." The yellow-haired man looked sad, "But Brother Chang also exhausted all his strength, and after he pulled me back, he slipped and fell down. When we went down to save me, I was already... dead."
Ji Feng and Jian Jing exchanged glances.
She asked: "Where are Zhou Chang's family members? Do you know?"
"Chang's parents were very sad, but they didn't blame Jia Yue, saying it was an accident." Ban Cun couldn't help but speak well of them, "They are all very good people."
"Are you an only child? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Everyone shook their heads: "Brother Chang is an only child. We have always said that if something like this happens to him, his parents won't know what to do in the future. We'd better go and visit him every year."
Jian Jing nodded, indicating that she had nothing further to ask.
Ji Feng understood and moved on to the next question: "Jia Yue is already dead. I have a question, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
His serious expression and intimidating gaze made the boy involuntarily nervous.
"The evening before yesterday, they hit someone with their car," Ji Feng said word by word, "was it a human?"
The boy was startled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his muscles unconsciously tensed, revealing an obvious defensive posture.
But our defense is worthless in terms of the lives of the people on the other side.
Under the overwhelming momentum, the yellow-haired man was the first to give in and stammered, "I, I was sitting in the back row, I didn't see clearly, I don't know."
Ji Feng knew that he shouldn't let others share the pressure, so he stared at the man with the crew cut and said aggressively: "What about you? Are you also sitting in the back row? Don't you understand?"
The ending tone is full of sarcasm and ridicule.
The man with the buzz cut straightened his back, but soon lowered it, avoiding her gaze: "I, I'm not sure, but I hit something. The road was too narrow to park, and the light was not good. After we returned to the camp, we found that the front of the car was flattened."
He paused and fumbled to explain, "I never said it was a zombie. It could be an animal in the mountains. Otherwise, how could there be claw marks like that?"
Ji Feng asked: "Who first said zombies?"
He pursed his lips and glanced at the yellow-haired man. The yellow-haired man reacted strongly and jumped up to clarify: "It wasn't me, it was Jia Yue who brought it up first. I just thought... I thought it was cool."
"cool?"
Huangmao blushed and stammered, "When people talk about encountering zombies... it's cool." He hurriedly pointed the finger at Jian Jing and said, "When I talked about zombies, you were also interested, right? I just wanted to brag, you can't blame me."
Jian Jing glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to such a person. It was obviously his own vanity, but he had to blame the audience for showing him favor. How could this be called "no killing without buying and selling"
"That is to say, you didn't get out of the car to check and just drove away, right?" It is not certain yet that it was a car accident, so Ji Feng tried to use Chinese words as much as possible to avoid causing disgust among the suspects.
The man with a crew cut hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Okay, we can do it." Ji Feng dug a hole calmly, "When the signal is restored, I will ask someone to check it out. If you remember anything, you can always talk to me."
Our questioning has come to an end.
Since the others had been interrogated twice, there was no reason to let the man with broken bones go. His room was opposite Jian Jing and the others, and he would have passed through their sight when he entered. He only went there once around 2 p.m. in the whole afternoon and came back in a few minutes. There was little motive or opportunity for him to commit the crime.
Therefore, this inquiry is mainly to know whether you have seen or heard anything.
The man with the broken bone seemed to be of a simple and dull character. He answered all the questions he was asked: "A little after 1:30, I met that reporter, and I don't know where I went after that."
"She was alone at the time?"
He nodded: "It's raining heavily, and there's no one else around."
"Did you see anyone else?"
"Later, there was another person wandering around the warehouse." The man with the broken bone recalled, "He should be one of the four students."
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that? Don't you have a clear face?"
"No." The man with the broken bone said embarrassedly, "I just glanced at it, not carefully. I just remember it was a black umbrella with an orange rim. Those students all had the same umbrella."
Several students are from the same club. Not only are their equipment similar, their umbrellas are exactly the same, and they even have the abbreviation of their club.
"What time is that?"
The man with the broken bone shook his head apologetically: "I don't remember, I just took a glimpse and didn't pay attention."
This is also human nature.
The two of them couldn't get any more clues, so they had to say goodbye temporarily and go back to their room to sort out the case.
"The four companions of the deceased are the most likely suspects," Ji Feng said straight to the point, "and the waiter is second."
The heavy rain washed away the road, trapping everyone, which was an accidental event. Chai, a reporter who happened to meet Zhu Gu, had no motive to kill a passerby.
The companions are the most suspicious and have the greatest chance of committing the crime. All four of them are currently suspects, including Gao Ponytail, who has a foot injury and cannot move.
The waiter's motivation was not great, but it was there.
The biggest gimmick of this hotel is "zombies". Considering its remote location and little traffic, it is not impossible for it to artificially create zombie murders to attract attention from the outside world and gain fame and money.
Jian Jing said: "I am more concerned about the way the deceased died. If he had been poisoned, there was no need for the murderer to hit him so many times. Was he venting his anger or trying to cover up the intention of poisoning?"
"Was the head injury sustained before death or after death?" he asked.
She replied: "The body does not show obvious signs of poisoning. I tend to think that the head wound was the fatal one. So, it is also possible that the murderer first poisoned the victim to make him lose the ability to resist, and then attacked him with more force, disguising himself as a strong man to mislead our attention."
"The people who poisoned the person may be different people." Ji Feng said, "Multiple people committed the crime."
Jian Jing immediately thought of the classic murder on the Orient Express and guessed: "Are the four of us all insiders? Seeking revenge for the innocent Zhou Chang? But in that case, the boys don't have a good proof of innocence."
He smiled and said, "It's just an idea. I don't want to limit the murderer to one person. Because everyone has limited time. It's a difficult task to poison, kill, and deal with the scene."
Jian Jing said: "Then let's arrange a time."
She made a list according to her habit.
12:20 The deceased went downstairs to eat and appeared in public view for the last time.
12:40 The yellow-haired man with a buzz cut left, and the deceased returned to room 204
13:05 Wanzitou gave brown sugar steamed cake to
13:40 (Gao Mawei witnessed) Reporter Chai went to the crime scene to take photos, the photos are evidence
13:50 Reporter Chai returned to the room
14:05 The man with a broken bone came to the toilet (witnessed by Jian and Ji)
14:10 Reporter Chai asks Jian Jing to borrow sanitary products
14:20 The yellow-haired girl separated her hair
14:30 The rain stopped (video proof from reporter Chai)
14:35 The yellow-haired man came back loudly, knocked on the door and asked for food
15:20 Huang Mao said he ate instant noodles (did not see the deceased)
15:30 The yellow-haired reporter met in the kitchen
Time of death of the deceased: 13:00-15:00
Ji Feng couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Jian, this way of naming is a bit special. Can't you remember the name?"
"I'm happy to." She said, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you think reporter Chai Huangmao is very busy?"
He nodded: "The reporter took a lot of photos, but it's barely within a reasonable range. Huang Mao's actions were a bit too deliberate."
Jian Jing said: "I think so too. He knocked on the door very loudly, perhaps intentionally to create a memorable point to let us know that he was back. Also, even though he looked like he was going to the toilet, he didn't necessarily really go to the toilet."
The toilet safety entrance is in one direction, and we can only watch people passing by, but we can't be sure whether they have entered the toilet or left later.
In any case, there is a lot of room for maneuver during the 40 minutes of diarrhea.
"The instant noodles you mentioned seem to be misleading the time of death of the deceased." She held her chin, "Let us think that after 14:35, the person is still alive - but what is the meaning of this?"
Ji Feng agreed: "Anti-"
In order to mislead people about the time of death and make them think that the person was still alive after being killed, Huang Mao should have had diarrhea (after killing someone) and then found an excuse to ask for something. At the same time, he should have prepared instant noodles for himself and pretended that they were sent by the deceased.
There is absolutely no point in doing this now.
"Then the deceased may have died before 14:35." Jian Jing said to herself, "Is it to cover up for others? Could it be the bun?"
The yellow-haired man was willing to cover up for the murderer, so he must be someone he knew. The high-ponytailed woman had a wounded foot, so she was not very suspicious. The man with the crew cut had been staying with them the whole time. There was no time to investigate before 14:20, so there was no need to do anything more.
The only suspect is the bun.
She had delivered food to the deceased and it is possible that she had poisoned it. If the deceased had already died before Huangmao came back, it would make sense that Huangmao covered up for her.
But Gao Ponytail said she never left the room.
Wouldn't it be a bit too bold for three people to conspire together
She twirled the pen and asked Ji Feng, "What do you want?"
"I think Teacher Jian is worthy of being an expert. His reasoning has a very personal style." said Wang.
Jian Jing raised her eyebrows: "Are you insulting me? Are you saying that I can make up stories?"
"No, it's a compliment." Ji Feng sat down, put his arm on the back of the chair, and tapped it occasionally. "The murderer tapped the victim's brain many times and killed a chicken specifically just to put the blame on the zombies, right?"
She nodded.
"This is very strange." He said slowly, "It's hard to say for a girl. Xu Bin, the yellow-haired one, I don't think he agrees with this approach."
Jian Jing paused and said, "I feel guilty."
"Right." He said, "The students are not stupid. They should know that they should be suspicious. They bumped into someone that day. They knew there was a problem, but they still drew everyone's attention to the zombies. They are so brave."
"There are two possibilities. One is that they were unaware, such as the girl who took advantage of the situation. The other is revenge, using the fabricated zombie excuse as a cover for killing him. It also has the drama of cause and effect." Jian Jing said, "However, if the motive is not Zhou Chang's, it will not be a ritual."
"We should investigate the car accident carefully." Ji Feng sighed, quite depressed.
The basis for the police to solve cases is advanced criminal investigation technology, a huge social information database, and resources that can be mobilized at any time. In a place like the Snowstorm Villa now, there is not even the most basic personal information, which is really not something we are used to.
He said, "Forget it, I'll go look for the murder weapon. This thing is very important. Where's yours?"
"Write an essay on a given topic." She said coldly.
Ji Feng laughed and said, "I said it was just an exaggeration, why don't you believe it?"
Jian Jing ignored him and occupied the table and chair in the room, buried in writing and drawing. He shook his head and walked away. She organized her thoughts and listed several directions.
--
Motive for murder: creating a sensation, Zhou Chang's death, car accident (?)
Method of killing: poisoning, blunt force trauma
Blame (trick): Zombies (horror legend? revenge? sensational news?)
Single person case or multi-person case?
Questions: Where did the umbrella go? Why can't we find the murder weapon
