Chapter 189: Ye Xiao's Death
After three months......
There are many people standing by the lake on the campus, the sun is hot above their heads at more than two o'clock, and this year's autumn tiger is menacing, and he does not intend to give these people in front of him a chance to breathe. But even so, the dense head still circled and circled, smoking in the sun.
Natsuki stood on tiptoe and squeezed inside, and the cordon on the periphery told him that something was wrong here.
Natsuki smacked his tongue, retracted his head, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go back to the dormitory first, not to join in the fun. As soon as he turned around, there was a "whoosh", and a gust of wind passed through his back, cold and biting. At that moment, Natsuki's heart was half cold, because it showed that it was impossible for him to be a bystander.
In his distraction, he only heard a "bang", Natsuki realized that he had stepped on a person's foot, he was startled at first, and then quickly evacuated, wanting to take advantage of the crowd and fool the past.
Unfortunately, as soon as he got out of the crowd, he was stopped by a sturdy fat man.
"Boy, you stepped on my foot, and you wanted to slip away without saying a word, you are very fat, and you don't ask who the master is. The fat man said with a sideways face.
Hearing this, Xia Mu shuddered, and then joked with a hippie smile: "I really didn't notice that I stepped on someone else's foot, and I thought I was stepping on a ball of grass, I'm sorry." ”
Seeing the other party's expression, the fat man shook his arm, and was about to teach him a lesson, when suddenly the crowd boiled, everyone was pointing and pointing, and the noise successfully attracted the attention of the two, so they didn't care about the quarrel, and quickly squeezed inside, trying to see what was going on.
Xia Mu took the lead and squeezed to the side of the cordon, and not far away, he saw a corpse lying by the lake, looking at the size, it was a boy, wearing a plaid shirt, a pair of washed blue jeans, and a pair of white limited-edition basketball shoes on his feet. At all times, he likes to pay extra attention to information that is completely unimportant in the eyes of others.
At this time, the fat man also squeezed over, his neck stretched in, his eyes stared far away, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he wished that he could fly to the corpse immediately to take a closer look.
Xia Mu glanced at him, holding the cordon in his hand, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but it turned out that this time he couldn't dodge, he couldn't control his heart anymore, and the mood of wanting to find out the truth burst out, and then his eyes widened, and he searched carefully among the police officers, and sure enough, he didn't lose hope.
"Senior brother. He shouted as he struggled to swing his arms. After a while, a tough guy trotted over, I don't know what good things have happened recently, and I seem to be in a good mood.
"Xia Mu, why are you here?Oh, yes, today is your first day of graduate registration, what, you want to come in and have a look?" Zhu Ziyi asked with a raised eyebrow and malicious intentions.
Xia Mu ignored him, lifted the cordon and came in, not forgetting to turn around and give the fat man over there a smug smile. The angry fat man was bubbling in his nostrils, standing in place and doing it in a hurry.
As soon as this person spoke to him, Xia Mu could feel that he must be as professional as him, and he studied criminal investigation.
He has had a specialty since he was a child, that is, his intuition is particularly accurate, in other words, he is very observant, his mind is too delicate, and he has the ability to remember.
Walking next to the corpse, Natsuki squatted down, probably soaking in the water for too long, the corpse was a little swollen, and his face was not very clear. He noticed a delicate knife stuck in the corpse's chest, with a nightingale carved into the hilt. The wound had been soaked white and turned outward, and the surrounding lawn was stained with blood, and a large patch of grass had been crooked from the roots, clearly showing signs of dragging, but this did not indicate that the body had been dragged into the water after death. Natsuki's instincts told him that this was no ordinary homicide.
"Go back and get the fingerprints from the knife. I don't know when Zhu Ziyi also squatted down and said such a sentence without a head.
"There won't be fingerprints for you to extract, anyway, can you give me this knife?" asked Natsuki absentmindedly.
Zhu Ziyi replied with a displeased face: "What nonsense, how can such important physical evidence be given to you." Did you find something?"
"Not yet, but I always feel uneasy, and I feel that it is not an ordinary homicide. Natsuki stood up with that.
"I have the same intuition as you this time, but the young man looks like he is in his twenties, I don't know who he offended, and he died so miserably, do you think it will still be a serial murder case?"
Natsuki shook his head and didn't speak. At this time, a small police officer hurriedly ran from not far away, carrying a bloodstained white women's canvas shoe in a transparent bag.
"Captain, look at this. He said excitedly to Zhu Ziyi and raised the bag to his chest. Natsuki's gaze locked tightly on the shoe, "This is the breakthrough, check." After saying that, he left the scene of the incident without looking back.
It wasn't until he was far away from the lake that Natsuki felt his breathing smooth, he had been through many cases, but none of them were like this one, when he squatted next to the corpse, he always felt that a pair of eyes had been firmly staring at him, and the murderous aura was faintly emanating around him.
A pair of blood-red eyes, a knife, eyes, nightingales, corpses, hearts, Natsuki suddenly felt a splitting headache, he hugged his head and immediately squatted down.
I don't know how long it took, Natsuki felt his eyes light up, and he sat up from the bed with a sudden thud. Looking around, he found that he was in the school infirmary, and was about to get out of bed when the fat man came in through the door.
"You kid stepped on Lao Tzu, forget it, and fainted in front of me, thanks to my strength, otherwise who would bring you this. Let me tell you, there are no two hot pots that can't solve this matter, then again, how do you feel, are you okay?"
Natsuki shook his head.
"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Jin Cheng, you just call me Big Fat. If it's okay, I'll leave first, my luggage has arrived, I'm going to pick it up. After saying that, Da Fat was about to turn around and leave, but Natsuki stopped him suddenly.
Then, the two dragged their luggage together and walked crookedly towards the dormitory building. It turned out that Natsuki's luggage had also arrived, and I thought it would be easier to move it with someone.
"Okay, you don't have to send me, I'll be there soon. Thank you for your two hot pots. As he spoke, Natsuki put down his luggage and pinched his shoulder.
"Your face is so big, I'm going back to the dormitory by myself, the idle egg hurts, and I will send you?" said the big fat man who walked in front of him with his luggage swaggeringly and didn't look back.
Natsuki gave him a roll of the eye, picked up his luggage again, and walked towards his dormitory. 501, the endless staircase, he cursed in his heart as he climbed the stairs.
By the time I reached the fifth floor, I was exhausted and out of breath. Luckily, the room was close to the staircase, just a couple of steps away.
But before he arrived at the door, an ominous premonition arose in Xia Mu's heart, a large pool of blood gushed out from the door of 501, and in an instant, Xia Mu almost fainted, he was stunned, and took a second look, but found that there was nothing. I couldn't help laughing at myself, shook my head with a wry smile, and walked towards the door.
"Hey, you're looking for me, how do you know I'm in this dormitory?"
Xia Mu glanced at the house number again in surprise, "Rub, Lao Tzu is actually in the same dormitory as you." ”
He lifted his arm over his forehead and sighed heavily. Big Fat grabbed the luggage in his hand, carried it in, and put it under the innermost table on the right.
Xia Mu came in and looked at the room, the accommodation conditions are still very good, the quadruple room, the bed and the table, there is a balcony, the bathroom and the bathroom are separated, which makes him very satisfied.
Big Fat lives opposite him, and the bed in the diagonal direction has been occupied, and the person next to him has not yet come. Vaguely, he saw a picture frame on the table over there, and couldn't help but be curious, so he walked straight over to take a look.
The photo is a couple, the boy is probably his roommate, Xia Mu picked up the photo frame, looked at the person in the photo and couldn't help but smile, because it made him think of Zou Ran, his childhood sweetheart, although he was in a different place, but as long as he thought of her, he still felt very happy. Just as he was about to put the frame back, he suddenly realized something, his pupils dilated instantly, and a smile froze on his face.
Seeing that something was not quite right with Natsuki, Da Fat climbed out of bed and came to look at the photo next to him.
"What's wrong? There's something wrong with this picture?"
Natsuki put the picture frame back on the table, "This person is like a ......", and before he finished speaking, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated non-stop. "Senior brother, what's the matter?"
Zhu Ziyi on the other end of the phone replied impatiently: "The deceased's name is Ye Xiao, 23 years old, like you, he is also a graduate student who was just admitted this year and came to school in February. The time of death was about a day ago, that is, on the night of the 28th, a fatal knife, according to the results of the autopsy and the traces at the scene, it was dragged into the water after death Yes, as you said, there are indeed no fingerprints on the handle of the knife. The owner of the shoe has also been found, named Han Zhi, Ye Xiao's girlfriend, and is currently looking for it. Other things are still under investigation, and I'm on my way to your school to get some information from his roommate or classmates. ”
"I don't need a roommate, I'm his roommate, and before he died, he was the only one living in the dormitory. Professor Zhu has only recruited four people this year, one of them has not yet come, and I and the other person have only arrived today, you can ask Professor Zhu and the senior brothers and sisters at the next level to see if they have any clues. ”
After hanging up the phone, Natsuki looked weakly at the person in the frame. This reminded him of the illusion he had seen before he first came in, and Natsuki never thought that the deceased was actually his roommate whom he had not met. Sure enough, this case was unusual, but why was he involved this time? This made him feel faintly uneasy.
"You can't stand this happening on the first day of duty. Big Fat asked worriedly.
Natsuki shook his head, his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot, which meant that this case was very tricky. Because under normal circumstances, when a murder case occurs, the paler his face is, the more confusing the case becomes, and it is the first time to see a bloodshot person like this.
