Jian Jing was quite unhappy.
The game lasted four and a half hours, the reasoning did not exceed half an hour, and the rest of the time was spent on sorting out the emotional drama. You love me and I love you, and it goes on and on, endlessly, without any conclusive evidence.
The real murderer is particularly arrogant.
Ji Feng comforted her: "They are just here to socialize, it's normal that they don't take the case seriously."
Jian Jing pursed her lips: "Forget about the guests, what are the scripts? This is a fraud."
"This is a game. It's fun only if you can pass it. If it's too difficult, the customer won't be able to solve it. Besides, the case is not too outrageous, and there is some ingenuity." He commented objectively, "It's just that there are too many emotional scenes, and the main and secondary points are not clear."
"Yes, look at the evidence we found, it's all related to the romance." Jian Jing was so angry that her teeth itched, "After the code was cracked, it turned out to be a love letter. What's so romantic about it? Who wrote this script? It's rubbish."
Ji Feng had never seen her like this before, and couldn't help laughing: "Alright, alright, stop looking so stern. Ah, I'll treat you to a meal."
Jian Jing: "What are you eating? Hurry up and solve the Miao Tong case."
"That's fine." Ji Feng nodded indifferently, "First of all, Miao Tong is not just a victim."
Jian Jing's expression eased, and she said, "This explains the fingerprints on the railing. Miao Tong did climb out by herself, but it wasn't necessarily to commit suicide. She could have wanted to cause someone else to fall."
"But in the end, she fell down. It was an accident. It was a man-made mistake. I'm afraid we have to ask the murderer." Ji Feng sighed, feeling quite conflicted. "It's not easy to deal with. She's a student. If things go wrong, it will affect her whole life."
"Suicide and murder definitely have different effects on students." Jian Jing thought about it and said, "Find evidence first?"
Ji Feng asked: "Let's go now?"
"Yes." Jian Jing had been holding back her energy for four hours and had to finish it today. "They still have evening self-study classes anyway."
Ji Feng had no choice but to accompany her to the school again. After some effort, he found the evidence and sent it to the police station for inspection.
It happened to be Lao Gao's turn to be on duty today. When he saw the two of them coming together, he immediately became excited: "Yo~~"
"Officer Gao, long time no see." Jian Jing greeted with a smile.
Lao Gao made room for her and said, "Sit down, Teacher Jian. Where are you coming from?"
"Crime scene." She asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"A home invasion."
Jian Jing: Heping City is as peaceful as ever.
Ji Feng returned after submitting the materials: "I cut in line. The results will be out tomorrow. Teacher Jian, can I take you there?"
Jian Jing pretended not to hear and strolled around.
In the interrogation room, a suspect is confessing his crime.
She stood on tiptoe and took a look.
"Teacher Jian, let's go eat, ah." Ji Feng quickly grabbed her and dragged her out, "You can't look at it, don't look at it, they have confessed. Damn it, don't play any scripts to kill in the future, this is not suitable for professionals like you..."
It took a lot of effort to get the person into the passenger seat.
Ji Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He had arrested three-digit suspects before, and none of them was so difficult.
"Look at what's going on. You're so stingy." Jian Jing crossed her arms, still angry.
Ji Feng: "There is no place for you to use your skills. You should rest early and go to bed early today. We will solve this case tomorrow morning, okay?"
Jian Jing reluctantly said, "Okay."
"What's for dinner?"
"I'm not hungry."
"It's 1:00 pm now. We need to eat something. Noodles?"
"don't want."
"barbecue?"
"I do not want to eat."
Ji Feng glanced at her and said, "Give me some clues."
"Hot, soft, salty, not greasy. No porridge or noodles."
Ji Feng: "Then eat rice noodles. You can't object. It's your fault for not ruling it out just now."
Jian Jing was puzzled: "What's the difference between rice noodles and noodles?"
"One is rice and the other is wheat, there is no difference?" Ji Feng was even more puzzled than her.
“No rice noodles, no wontons, no dumplings, no pan-fried dumplings.”
Monsoon: "Rice cake."
Jian Jing was convinced: "What a clear idea, how about filtering and eliminating them according to the raw materials?"
"Do you want to eat?"
“Spicy rice cake.”
That being said, but when she arrived at the Korean restaurant, Jian Jing's appetite returned.
She ordered a plate of spicy rice cakes, a plate of sweet and spicy fried chicken, and a plate of cold buckwheat noodles with grilled pork belly.
Monsoon: “…”
So the no greasy food, no noodles, no barbecue, were just casual talk
Women are such fickle creatures.
The next day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
Squad leader Wu came to the rooftop of the laboratory building and saw Jian Jing, who was holding a parasol and wearing a French floral dress.
She smiled and said, "It's gone again."
"Teacher Chen said you have something to ask me." Squad Leader Wu asked politely, "How can I help you?"
"Can you help me clear my mind?" Jian Jing took off her sunglasses. "Is today's weather similar to the day Miao Tong died?"
Wu Banzhang: "What do you mean?"
Jian Jing took out a stack of papers from her bag: "Take a look."
Wu Banzhang took it, his fingers stiff. On it were some printed screenshots of radical remarks made by a certain account on various platforms, some of which boasted about the abilities of his relatives.
"You deleted the message, but Miao Tong had already taken screenshots and saved them all. We found this in an encrypted document on her computer." Jian Jing said, "Is it you?"
"I don't know," said Uban.
"Lying is not a wise choice. You should know that with today's technology, it's not difficult to find out who it is. But you're a child, so it's not surprising that you're hoping for the best."
Jian Jing said calmly: "Let me explain everything to you clearly."
"On the day of the incident, Miao Tong asked you to meet in the laboratory building. I think her purpose was to threaten you to give up your admission quota. Otherwise, she would make all this public. Then, not only would you lose your quota, but you would also implicate your uncle, the principal. You had no choice but to keep the appointment."
"At 14:20, you start your physical education class. You go to the gym with your classmates to borrow equipment, and then go to the basketball court with others. No one will doubt you, because it is natural for boys to play basketball. If you leave, everyone will just think that you, a good student, need to review and are here just to look after your classmates.
"But in reality, you came to the laboratory building quietly. In order to avoid being recognized, you changed into cleaner's clothes at the back of the stairs on the first floor."
Although the story of the script-killing is terrible, it has shocking coincidences with reality.
In the hotel fall case, the murderer used the location to cleverly create a real secret room. In reality, the testimonies of three eyewitnesses also coincidentally formed a surveillance secret room.
Ji Yunyun and others who were behind the experimental building only saw Miao Tong going there.
The cleaner on the left side of the first floor only heard the footsteps of one person. The couple who were having a tryst on the right side of the first floor only saw the cleaner, but no one else.
At first glance, it seems that there is no suspect at all.
But Jian Jing remembered that the girl said that there were lush wisterias growing where they were dating (this key sentence did not appear in the police statement and was ignored by the parties involved). She went to the scene to check and found that there were indeed lush flowers and leaves, but they were located in the middle.
Only there, blocking the view of the office building, can we have a secret date.
Likewise, they couldn't see the cleaner sweeping on the left because of the flower branches.
So, who is that cleaner
Of course it’s the other person who came to the appointment.
"We found the clothes you stole in the janitor's office. Luckily, we were able to collect some hair and dandruff. By comparing the DNA, we can tell who it belongs to."
Jian Jing reminded him: "Do you have anything to say? Turning yourself in can get you a lighter punishment. You are young."
"I didn't kill her." Squad Leader Wu clenched his fists and said firmly, "She fell down by herself."
Jian Jing raised her eyebrows: "Really? Let me remind you, there is more evidence than what I said, you'd better tell the truth."
"I'm telling the truth." He didn't change his words. "The day before, Miao Tong asked me to go to the laboratory building for physical education class, but at noon, I saw her going there mysteriously. I was very worried, so I followed her."
Jian Jing waited for him to continue.
Squad leader Wu paused and continued, "She sneaked upstairs, pried open the lock on the rooftop, climbed over the railing, and pasted something there. I thought she was hiding something, so after she left, I took the thing away immediately."
"Then what?"
"Then I pretended I knew nothing. During the physical education class, I sneaked up just as you said. By then, she seemed to have noticed something was missing. I thought the problem was solved, but she took out the USB drive and threw it over the railing."
He took a deep breath and held back his anger: "She said she would delete the things, but she copied them over and over again. I was so angry that I asked her what she was doing. She was so scared because she felt guilty that she lost her balance and fell down."
"I was terrified." Squad Leader Wu's voice became hoarse. "At that time, everyone heard the noise and gathered around. I didn't dare to stay there any longer. I changed my clothes and pretended that I knew nothing... But I really didn't kill her. She fell down by herself."
Jian Jing declined to comment.
At present, Class Leader Wu’s testimony is consistent with the evidence—the school’s surveillance camera captured him and Miao Tong appearing near the laboratory building at noon.
But the most crucial part, whether Miao Tong fell from the building accidentally or was pushed down, remains to be discussed.
"We found your fingerprint on Miao Tong's clothes." The sun was too strong, and Ji Feng had been standing in the shadow behind the door. He just appeared and reminded him, "It's on the shoulder blade."
Squad leader Wu said, "She and I are in the same class. It's not strange that I patted her shoulder."
"Why did you go up there wearing cleaner's clothes? You had already taken the evidence, and you could have even not kept the appointment." Jian Jing said, "But you had to disguise yourself, and even forged a suicide note afterwards."
She took out the suicide note sealed in the evidence bag and said, "There are traces of razor blade cutting on the edge of the paper. If I'm right, this is the sample you deliberately asked Miao Tong to write. Cut off a part of it and it became a suicide note."
The original suicide note is as follows:
After thinking about it, I can't accept it.
I have decided to give up
Sorry, please forgive my willfulness
As a suicide note, the content is too general and abstract. It does not specify what to accept, what to give up, or who the letter is addressed to.
But if it is expanded, the content is obviously more reasonable, for example:
Teacher X, I have thought about it and I just can't accept it.
I have decided to give up on the recommendation.
I'm sorry for failing you. Please forgive my willfulness.
I plan to go to the university of my choice based on my academic performance.
…
"I changed my clothes just because I was afraid of being seen. I couldn't let this matter get out." Squad Leader Wu defended, "I didn't think of writing the suicide note until later. She asked me to write it because she was afraid I would lie to her and that I had to write such a letter myself. She put it in the principal's mailbox, but I didn't have time to take it back that day... I was too scared. Her mysterious death in the laboratory building would definitely arouse a lot of suspicion. If people knew I was here at the time, I would be finished!"
He said painfully: "It was an accident anyway. I just want to treat it as suicide... It's better for everyone."
"What you mean is, after you saw Miao Tong fall from the building, you first ran downstairs to see the body, then took advantage of the chaos to return to the teaching building, found the letter, and in front of so many classmates in the classroom, you cut off a part of it, disguised it as a suicide note, and stuffed it into Miao Tong's drawer?" Jian Jing asked back.
Wu Banzhang said: "Yes, everyone was terrified at the time and no one noticed it. I really only thought of it after she died."
Jian Jing sighed softly, and suddenly said seriously: "I gave you a chance."
"That afternoon, Miao Tong bought a box of yogurt, which was the new cherry flavor that day." She took out a box of fresh yogurt like a magic trick, "Look, it has a lid and comes with a small spoon."
Squad leader Wu showed a puzzled expression.
"According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, Miao Tong ate yogurt before physical education class, and milk stains from this yogurt were detected on the suicide note." After memory +1, Jian Jing's memory ability increased a lot, and she still remembered the testimonies listed by Ji Yunyun and Xiaoxiao.
At that time, no one thought that this would be such important evidence.
"When the police checked the desk drawer, they did not find any unfinished yogurt, which proves that she had finished drinking it and thrown it away before leaving. If you put the suicide note after the incident, how did the milk stains appear on it?"
Wu Jincheng's face was pale, his brain was working rapidly, but he didn't know how to refute this strong evidence.
Jian Jing concluded succinctly: "There is only one answer. You put the suicide note before the physical education class. That means you had already decided to kill Miao Tong at that time."
The scene was silent.
