Jiang Xu and Su Yang said goodbye to the aunt in charge of the archives and came to the office of the dean of the Department of Political Science and Law, but they were told that Director Xiao Mingxiao was in class.

When the two went to the classroom where Director Xiao was classing, they found that there were not many students in the classroom, today was Saturday, and the classes originally arranged today were all electives.

The two quietly entered the classroom through the back door, found two seats in the last row of inconspicuous places, and waited for the class to end.

Director Xiao stood on the podium with a portable microphone around his neck, although the classroom was very large, because there were few people and few noises, so even if they sat in the last row, Jiang Xu and Su Yang could still clearly hear the content of Director Xiao's class.

This course is one of the most important courses in the Department of Political Science and Law: Criminal Law in Law.

Jiang Xu's thoughts have always been on Director Xiao's body, he looked at the teacher who was standing straight, accepting the worship of his classmates, and was high-spirited, somehow feeling a little hypocritical.

According to article 264 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, where the perpetrator illegally takes possession of other people's property against the subjective will of the parties, and reaches a certain amount, he may be convicted and punished as the crime of theft, and the perpetrator may be investigated for criminal responsibility if the circumstances are serious. However, if the amount of conviction is not reached or the circumstances are relatively minor, the local competent authority may impose a corresponding punishment. ’

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xu's mouth, he was thinking, if it was a human life that was stolen, how should it be convicted in law?

Jiang Xu turned his head to look out the window, he didn't know if the speculations surging in his heart were the final answers, but he firmly believed that the sunny and handsome boy in the file must have an untold story.

Finally, Director Xiao finished today's class, and when the students were almost gone, Director Xiao began to pack up the books on the podium.

Jiang Xu and Su Yang walked to the podium and introduced themselves to Director Xiao, and then the three of them found a small conference room and sat opposite each other.

Jiang Xu has some reservations about Xiao Ming, he is not a graduate of the University of Political Science and Law, nor has he taken Director Xiao's class, he does not have any feelings for Xiao Ming as teachers and students in the same school, nor does he have any worship and follow, on the contrary, he is full of doubts about this Director Xiao.

Su Yang just wanted to speak, but Jiang Xu stopped him and took the lead to speak.

"Director Xiao, I'm Jiang Xu from the special case team, and I came here today to learn from you about Lu Ming and Zhou Jie. Jiang Xu's opening remarks were cold and simple, but they hit the nail on the head.

As Jiang Xu expected, Director Xiao's face became a little unpleasant.

"I've heard, if you have any questions, just ask!" Director Xiao said with a smile as if he was enduring the discomfort.

Su Yang felt Jiang Xu's low pressure that was different from usual, and since he had already opened his mouth to ask, Su Yang thought that he would not interject this time, just to see how Jiang Xu was looking for clues.

However, what Su Yang didn't expect was that Jiang Xu's next words made the atmosphere of this room drop to the freezing point.

"I want to ask about Zhou Teng's theft that year. Jiang Xu arrived coldly.

Su Yang looked at Jiang Xu with some surprise, he thought that at least Jiang Xu would take a detour, instead of asking so directly.

But Jiang Xu asked like this.

Director Xiao didn't speak for a long time, as early as when they saw Zhou Teng's information, Su Yang had already notified Deng Min and Wu Lei to investigate Zhou Teng's current situation, but they had not received a response yet.

If it is really as they guessed, this murder is related to Zhou Teng's theft back then, then it is likely that Zhou Teng is the murderer.

After a long time, Director Xiao slowly spoke.

"The evidence of Zhou Teng's theft back then was conclusive, and the school made the decision to withdraw from school after investigation, so I don't think there is anything special to say. Director Xiao's attitude was obviously much more anxious than at the beginning, not only Jiang Xu, but even Su Yang felt it.

Su Yang pinched a cold sweat, afraid that Director Xiao would directly lift his ass and leave.

But Jiang Xu didn't care about Director Xiao's changes.

"I want to know, what role did Lu Ming and Zhou Jie play in that incident?" Jiang Xu's question was tactful enough, but they still clearly saw that the corners of Director Xiao's eyes twitched slightly.

This is a phenomenon that occurs instinctively in the body when people are panicked or frightened, and it is beyond their control.

Director Xiao took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions.

"The person who accused Zhou Teng of theft was Zhou Jie, and the witness was Lu Ming. Director Xiao's tone was stiff, as if he didn't want to recall the events of that year.

Jiang Xu nodded, and then asked again.

"What was the whole incident that the school found out back then?"

This is the most critical thing Jiang Xu wants to figure out today.

Back then, Lu Ming accompanied Zhou Jie to withdraw 2,000 yuan, Zhou Jie put the money in the drawer, and when the two went out and came back, they found that the money was gone. When they went out, Zhou Teng was the only one in the dormitory, and later 2,000 yuan was found under Zhou Teng's pillow. ”

Director Xiao recalled faintly.

"Didn't Zhou Teng explain where his 2,000 yuan came from?" Su Yang still couldn't help asking.

He said that it was given to him by his brother when he came to see him the day before. ”

"You don't believe him?" Jiang Xu asked straight to the point.

Director Xiao shook his head.

At that time, we hoped that he could contact his brother to clarify the matter, but he said that his brother had just gone abroad and there was no way to contact him, and the most important thing was that Zhou Teng's family was in difficulty, and he couldn't even pay his tuition, and his brother went abroad to study, and the school believed that his brother simply could not afford to give him so much money. Director Xiao's tone was a little heavier, as if he was deliberately defending the school, no, it should be said that he was defending himself.

Jiang Xu was a little annoyed, but he still tried his best to restrain himself.

"Director Xiao, when Zhou Teng entered the school, you personally awarded him a full scholarship, and when he won the award, you were also the awardee? I have read the file, your evaluation of him, I believe that at that time, he must be your most optimistic student, such an excellent student, Director Xiao has not considered other possibilities?"

Director Xiao glanced at Jiang Xu and seemed to feel ridiculous about Jiang Xu's question.

"Any good person can make mistakes, and when their desires are not satisfied, anyone can go astray. ”

Director Xiao said righteous words, Jiang Xu did not ask any more about the events of that year, but threw out a question that was irrelevant in Su Yang's opinion.

"Are all the dormitories in the school triple-roomed?"

Director Xiao was also surprised by Jiang Xu's question, but still answered.

"No, it's a room for four people, and if the students in the same department happen to be redundant, they will share the dormitory with students from other departments. After answering this question, Jiang Xu got up and cleaned up, but he didn't plan to leave.

He looked at Director Xiao deeply, and Director Xiao was a little nervous, and subconsciously began to avoid his sight.

The corners of Jiang Xu's mouth showed a rare, disdainful smile.

"So, what was the name of the other student who lived with them back then?"

Director Xiao told them the name of the student who lived with Lu Ming, Zhou Jie, and Zhou Teng, and then left the conference room with some unsteady steps.

Su Yang edited the students' names into text messages and sent them to Wu Lei for them to check.

Jiang Xu didn't look at it, looked at the blue sky outside the window, as if he was talking to someone in the air, and then slowly turned around to look at Su Yang.

"There are no coincidences in this case. Jiang Xu's face was gloomy, the corners of his eyes drooped, and there was some sadness in his sadness.

Both of them returned to the police station depressed, and the information about Zhou Teng had been placed on the table.

Jiang Xu did not go back to the dissection room, but sat at the desk in the office of the special case team and looked through the materials.

He used his pen to draw circles on some time points of the information, and then eagerly asked Wu Lei and Deng Min for the information of Lin Yao, the fourth student who left the dormitory that year.

Su Yang sat beside Jiang Xu, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Xu spoke first.

Zhou Teng was born on May 14, 1992, Zhou Jie reported to the school that Zhou Teng stole money and was forced to drop out of school on his 20th birthday, that is, on May 14, 2012, and the day Zhou Jie was killed was May 14 this year, and Lu Ming was killed the day before, that is, on May 13. Jiang Xu weakly summarized these important time points, and only here did the case really figure out the direction of the investigation.

"Where is Zhou Teng now?"

The top priority now is to find Zhou Teng, so that it is possible to figure out what is going on in these two murder cases.

However, the news given by Deng Min once again made Jiang Xu and Su Yang fall into absolute disappointment.

Zhou Teng passed away three years ago due to depression and overdose.

Hearing this news, Jiang Xu was uneasy, and Su Yang knew that he was very sympathetic to the student named Zhou Teng.

According to Director Xiao's performance today, it has to be suspected that there is something else hidden in the events of that year.

"Find out Lin Yao or find out Zhou Teng's brother!" Jiang Xu suddenly roared.

Deng Min, who was busy on the side, was taken aback by him, after so many days of getting along, it was the first time Su Yang had seen Jiang Xu so angry.

"If the murderer really killed in order to avenge Zhou Teng, then the first person to approach the truth of the incident must be Zhou Teng's brother. According to Director Xiao, when the incident happened, Lin Yao happened to take leave to return to his hometown, I don't know if it was a real coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, no matter which one it is, the murderer is very likely to take him as the next target, no matter what, we have to find one of them as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Jiang Xu said this, everyone immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.

Su Yang looked at the information a little distracted.

"However, we don't know when the murderer will do it again, and maybe the murderer doesn't plan to kill again, so it's impossible to endlessly restrict Lin Yao's freedom!"

Jiang Xu squinted his eyes at Su Yang when he heard Su Yang's question, but Su Yang knew that he was just pondering.

After a while, Jiang Xu asked Deng Min to give him the information about Zhou Teng's depression and suicide.

Jiang Xu flipped through the information, quickly browsed it, and then smiled faintly.

"According to the logic of the murderer, he will definitely kill the last person, he chose to kill Lu Ming on the 13th because when he handed over the money to Zhou Teng, it was the 13th, that is, the day he went abroad, that is, Zhou Teng did not have evidence of stealing money, and Lu Ming was the witness when Zhou Jie accused Zhou Teng; And in the end, it was Lin Yao who happened to return to his hometown when the incident happened. Maybe he thought that if Lin Yao hadn't taken leave to go home, this incident would not have happened. After Jiang Xu finished speaking, he leaned heavily on the back of the chair, and his eyes slowly closed.

Su Yang understood Jiang Xu's point of view, indeed, the murderer planned very carefully, but they still didn't know which day he would choose to attack Lin Yao.

"Tomorrow, the murderer will definitely kill the last person tomorrow. Jiang Xu opened his eyes with difficulty, frowning.

He put information about Zhou Teng's suicide due to depression on the table.

Su Yang leaned over and took a closer look, and the information clearly stated: On May 18, 2013, a year after Zhou Teng was forced to drop out of school, Zhou Teng was diagnosed with major depression and began two years of painful medication, and then committed suicide by overdose on February 20, three years ago.

Su Yang frowned.

"Why didn't the murderer choose the 20th when Zhou Teng committed suicide, but the 18th when he was found to be suffering from depression?"

Jiang Xu sat up and didn't look at Su Yang, but at the white coat he put aside before leaving.

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Teng's brother went abroad to study in medical school, so in his opinion, the day Zhou Teng was found to have depression was equivalent to being sentenced to death. ”
