178, forty-one!
If Xi Ruxiang hadn't died, then who was killed back then? Or, is there really another 'Xi Ruxiang'?!
There are too few key points, and Xiao Ran can't string them together.
I read the information sheet of the 42 classmates who were on the table, folded it casually, and sandwiched it in my notebook.
There is only text on the information sheet, no photos.
Just now, Xiao Ran also thought about the school system, looking at the photos of Xi Ruxiang's classmates back then, so many years have passed, and the school can't find the images of those classmates in a short time.
So Xiao Ran's idea of using the eye of justice to filter Xi Ruxiang's classmates failed.
Although it was still a mess, Xiao Ran felt that he was not far from the truth.
After all, he still has one last hole card, even if the investigation at this stage really finds nothing in the end, he still has a 'clue dart' available, which is a cheat that the system rewarded him before.
However, Xiao Ran did not intend to use his trump card easily. - Who knows what their unreliable system will reward next time?
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them came to the Chengdong branch campus of the College of Commerce and Trade.
After registering at the security office, Xiao Ran saw Geng Tongda with a greasy face in the Youth League Committee office of the Department of Economics.
Geng Tongda's age on the data is 37 years old, medium height, thin build, combed with oily three-seven points, wearing a low-necked cardigan, and a black mid-length coat casually resting on the back of a fuchsia chair.
At this time, Geng Tongda was discussing the team building work with several student cadres, and when he saw an officer from the security department walking in with three people, he looked up at Xiao Ran with some confusion, "How many are?"
Xiao Ran took out his ID with an expressionless face: "Police." ”
"I want to ask you about something, do you have time now?" Mo Xiaobei said politely, but judging from the smile she smiled at several student cadres, she was already expressing the meaning of 'please go out and wait for a while'.
"Yes, there is time......"
Geng Tongda responded cordially, turned to the student cadres and said, "You sit outside the door for a while, and we'll talk later." ”
"Okay. ”
The student cadres nodded, picked up the pen and paper and got up one after another, but their eyes kept switching between Xiao Ran and Mo Xiaobei, and they walked out of Geng Tongda's office curiously one by one.
Before the last student could close the door, he heard a whisper coming from the door, "That policeman is so handsome, he has more temperament than the school grass of the film school!"
"And that young lady, her short hair is so beautiful. Are there all handsome guys and beauties in the Public Security Bureau, I really want to ......"
Before the boy finished speaking, the office door was closed, blocking out all the noise from the outside world.
Xiao Ran and Mo Xiaobei naturally felt that there was nothing, but Zhang Lei on the side secretly gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to rush out to find the talking person and ask: We are three people, why don't you talk about me?!
"Hehe, little young, straight and cute. …… Sit, sit, sit. Geng Tongda said with a smile.
"Understood. Xiao Ran raised the corners of his mouth and sat down.
Geng Tongda smiled, and then asked, "I don't know how many people came, what do you want to know?"
"Xi Ruxiang!" Zhang Lei adjusted the video, raised his head and said slowly.
Hearing the words 'Xi Ruxiang', Geng Tongda's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Has this matter progressed......
Before he finished speaking, Geng Tongda seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Do you suspect that I did it?"
"Anyone is possible before the facts of the case come to light. ”
Mo Xiaobei said with a serious face: "And we didn't say that we doubted you, why are you so nervous?"
"Nervous is not a good word, I am surprised, not nervous. ”
Geng Tongda corrected Mo Xiaobei's choice of words and sentences, and then said: "I have been preparing for the exam for the promotion of the book at the time, and I have basically never left the school, I remember that when your police came to inquire, my roommate proved it to me. ”
Xiao Ran nodded, he clearly remembered the inquiry about Geng Tongda in the file.
The above record is the same as what Geng Tongda said, when Xi Ruxiang was killed, Geng Tongda had been shuttling between the library, dormitory and canteen, and his roommates could prove it to him.
"How many boys are there in your class?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Thirteen, we have never had many male students in the accounting department. Geng Tongda replied very simply.
Zhang Leihu said suspiciously: "It's been so many years, do you remember it so clearly?"
"I'll never forget it in my life. ”
Geng Tongda smiled and said: "I was the squad leader at the time, and I was responsible for the roll call every day, and I read back and forth on a list for a few years, do you think you remember clearly?"
Zhang Lei didn't say anything more.
"Do you still have contact with the male classmates in the class, and now you know everything about them?" Xiao Ran then asked.
"Not much, just a few. ”
Geng Tongda pulled the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "At that time, it was not like now, now the mobile phone number and WeChat chat number are saved, and you can contact them wherever you go." At that time, it wasn't a particularly good fun, and leaving school was basically equivalent to saying goodbye forever. ”
"Haven't you organized a party or anything in your class all these years?" Mo Xiaobei said.
"Whatever you get together, they are all fathers and mothers, and those who can be contacted are busy with their careers, not to mention that most of them can't be contacted. Let's stay in the memories, it's better not to see each other than to see each other. Geng Tongda sighed.
"Do you know, how many boys are still in the city in your class?" Xiao Ran asked.
"I know and I have four, we used to get together occasionally in previous years, but last year one brother died suddenly, and now there are only three left. Geng Tongda shook his head and said.
"What are their names, and what do they do?" Mo Xiaobei asked.
Geng Tongda replied directly: "One is called Chen Xingsheng, who is now doing building materials wholesale, and the other is called Kong Junkuan, his house was demolished, divided into several suites, and now he doesn't do anything, just collect rent and take care of children." ”
"How much do you know about the situation of the girls in your class?" Xiao Ran asked.
Geng Tongda paused, and smiled helplessly: "I really haven't understood the girl, if you want to know, you can go to Kong Junkuan's wife Liu Yajie, she should know something, and she and Xi Ruxiang were still in the same dormitory at the time." ”
"Liu Yajie, Kong Junkuan. ”
Xiao Ran wrote down the addresses and contact information of the two people in his notebook, and continued to ask, "What is your impression of Xi Ruxiang now?"
"Xi Ruxiang, Xi Ruxiang......"
Geng Tongda gently read these three words twice, looked at the ceiling with his eyes, and recalled for a while before saying: "She is a very good girl, although she looks a little quiet and introverted, but she is actually quite cheerful."
When a few of us had dinner a few years ago, Liu Yajie shed tears every time she talked about Xi Ruxiang, Xi Ruxiang was the youngest in their dormitory, and the people in her dormitory had a very good relationship with her. ”
"In the process of contact with Xi Ruxiang, have you noticed that her personality changes often,—— for example, she is introverted for a while, lively for a while, and every once in a while it seems like a different person?" Zhang Lei asked.
Geng Tongda frowned, thought about it for a long time, and said suspiciously: "No, she has always had that character." …… I was thinking about class affairs and going to school, I really didn't pay attention to this, you can ask Liu Yajie, they should know more clearly in a dormitory. ”
"Also, in the process of your classmates, did Xi Ruxiang have any intimate contact with a boy in the class, or a senior, a senior sister, or a junior brother or a younger sister?" Xiao Ran said.
"I haven't seen her personally, and when I saw her at that time, she was walking with her roommate, and I didn't see contact with that boy. ”
Geng Tongda was noncommittal, and emphasized: "I still suggest that you ask Liu Yajie about this, they are in a dormitory." ”
"Okay, that's all for now. ”
Xiao Ran got up and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered the photo again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Geng Shuji (Ji), do you still have your graduation photos of that year? Can you take the time to bring them to me?"
"Yes, there is preservation. ”
Geng Tongda didn't think much about it, and immediately said: "Don't take time, I took that photo with my mobile phone, and it is all saved in the cloud disk, I'll show it to you." ”
As he spoke, Geng Tongda took out his mobile phone, looked for it for a while, and then turned out the graduation photo: "Here, look at it." ”
Xiao Ran took Geng Tongda's mobile phone, and Zhang Lei and Mo Xiaobei also came over.
After looking at everyone in the photo, the Eye of Justice did not indicate anything abnormal, and was about to return the phone to Geng Tongda, when a feeling that something was wrong suddenly floated in Xiao Ran's heart.
Holding Geng Tongda's mobile phone, Xiao Ran squinted at the photo.
The first row of the photo was full of teachers, and these people were filtered out by Xiao Ran.
The fifth girl in the orange jacket in the second row, from the right, is Xi Ruxiang.
Xi Ruxiang pursed her lips and smiled in the photo, quiet and warm, peaceful and moving, she may not have expected that less than a month after this photo was taken, she would never see this colorful world again.
Xiao Ran's gaze didn't linger too much, or rather, everyone in this photo was not the point.
The reason why I looked at this photo carefully was because after Xiao Ran counted the people inside, he found that the number of students in the photo turned out to be forty-one!
Forty-one people, but Xi Ruxiang's class is obviously forty-two students!
Why is there one less person in the graduation photo? And one less boy!
Who is this person who didn't come?
