"Why are you calling me at your sophomore party?" Luo Xiaoyi asked puzzled.

"Don't ask about the future, come and be safe." Cheng Bei dropped a sentence and floated away. However, the glasses brother came up and rubbed with Luo Xiaoyi for a long time, Luo Xiaoyi agreed, borrowed it from the class for a long time, and scraped together 30 yuan to give the glasses brother.

When it was Sunday party time, Luo Xiaoyi thought about it for a long time, put on a military suit and leather jacket, with black paratrooper pants, and a pair of black military boots, went out in black, went out in black, and went to the bridgehead cross, sat on a bouncing child and jumped to the lark karaoke hall, the atmosphere inside was warm, the voices were boiling, and the image of the karaoke disc was depicted on the projection screen of more than forty inches, "What do I care about with you, I want to forget what I want to keep......" Three or four people were guarding two microphones and singing a song in turn, and the glasses brother was busy greeting him, pulled him to a girl, "Ma Hui has a birthday today, ask you to come over and celebrate her"

"Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday." Luo Xiaoyi saw Ma Hui's palm stretched out, and just wanted to say that no one told me about your birthday today.

The glasses brother took it very naturally, "He has more to follow", and then kept giving Luo Xiaoyi a look, Luo Xiaoyi held back for a long time, and took out another thirty yuan to the glasses brother.

"Thank you for that, you had a great time." After Ma Hui finished speaking, he turned his head and ignored himself again.

Luo Xiaoyi immediately found a vacant seat and sat down, and no one came to share the table with him, but he still recognized Wuquan Beer, and just took a few sips of it, he was pulled to the main table by several people to pass the level, and more than a dozen glass cups filled with a water Tuopai Daqu.

The guests strongly asked Luo Xiaoyi to play another level, and drank a lot, went to the toilet and came back, unbuttoned it, and sat with a big grin, a girl came over, wanted to clink glasses with him, didn't think about anything, poured a big sip of beer, only to find that the other party just took a small sip, and clearly smelled the taste of iced tea, just about to speak, the girl opened her mouth with a smile, "My name is Ma Yan, is your name Luo Xiaoyi?" ”

Luo Xiaoyi felt that his brain was a little confused, you are not sure if I am Luo Xiaoyi, what are you drinking with me, but the words that come out of your mouth are "Yes, you know me?" ”

"Of course, you're a celebrity in your first year of high school, and there are many people who know you."

Although he didn't know the specific activities of Luo Xiaoyi's heart, he began to inquire about the rumors about himself on the rivers and lakes, and was poured a few cups by Ma Yan, and then he was inevitably excited, he was more drunk, that is, he grabbed his glasses and drank for a while, and when he saw Cheng Bei, he couldn't remember what he said, and he fell asleep on the table after the power was cut off.

I felt that I hadn't slept for a few minutes, and I was woken up, a middle-aged man, who seemed to be the boss, "Hey, wake up, it's over." ”

I thought about it, but I couldn't make it hard, and I felt that my eyelids were a thousand pounds, so I struggled a little, looking at the figures, many people were also stumbling out, hooking their heads, swaying out of the door, looking at the door of the black pressure standing a piece of people, no one knew, walked a long way, I felt really unable to fly, scolded to myself, trembling and trembling took out a banknote from the pocket of the close-fitting shirt, looked carefully for a long time, well, it's a dollar, yes, quickly stopped a jumper, When I got home, I washed the walls in the corridor up and down, left and right, back and forth, and rubbed all the white ash into the room, took off my clothes and pants a few times, and lay down on the bed, and I didn't know anything.

After school at noon on Monday, a few Toyota cruiser police cars were parked at the school gate, and the police lights flashed silently in blue and red, and as soon as I arrived at the school in the afternoon, I was led by Li Xiaodong to the old concert hall of the school. Luo Xiaoyi carefully looked at the more than 20 people present and asked Cheng Bei, "Why didn't you see Ma Yan?" ”

Cheng Bei's big eyes glared, "Who is Ma Yan?" ”

Luo Xiaoyi saw a poisonous snake spitting out black letters, and its provocative triangular eyes stared at him coldly, ready to jump up and attack at any time.

"I'm at half past one, I'm at five o'clock, I'm about five twenty out"

Opposite Luo Xiaoyi sat a female police officer, dressed into a new 99-style police uniform, and the epaulettes of the first-class police inspector were shining silver.

"Have you ever seen a victim?"

"I've seen it, he's clearing the field"

"Have you really seen it?"

"Yes, he woke me up at five o'clock."

The female police officer looked at Luo Xiaoyi seriously for a while, and under the majesty, a trace of warmth was revealed: "The time when the victim was killed was half past four in the afternoon. “

Luo Xiaoyi saw that under the towering snow-capped mountains, a person with a long head was dragging his soul in the wind and rain.

In order to prevent collusion, everyone was stared at by a policeman, just like during the exam, there was an empty seat between everyone, and Luo Xiaoyi vaguely heard "Didn't Ma Hui come to school today?" "Have you looked for it at home?" , Seeing that the policemen were about to move, a teacher walked in with a girl, Luo Xiaoyi's eyes widened instantly, his rapid breathing and his face flushed, and the only remaining bit of Qingming in the spiritual platform suppressed the manic entanglement, and then looked at the front of him, "Ma Hui was late in the afternoon, and now he has brought it over." The teacher explained that the girl was immediately taken away.

As the afternoon passed, the police officers had withdrawn after compiling the group confessions, and the students gathered in groups to chatter.

"Now, everyone present has time to commit the crime." Cheng Bei's eyes were gloomy.

"Then we're all suspects." Luo Xiaoyi and the glasses brother glanced at each other, and then said, "Ma Hui is what I said about Ma Yan." “

"Then who is the Ma Hui you see?" Cheng Bei asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet." Luo Xiaoyi replied.

"You've got a problem!"

"We all have a problem."

The next morning, during self-study, Luo Xiaoyi followed Cheng Bei to their class in the second year of high school, and did not see Ma Hui who she saw that day, and chatted with Ma Hui for a while between classes, but she had an impression of herself and knew that she was coming on the day of the party.

"Do you have any siblings?" Luo Xiaoyi asked.

"I'm the only one in my house." Ma Hui replied.

I've been doing it all morning, and I still don't have a clue.

In the afternoon, I received a notice of the meeting of the student union, and when I arrived at the venue, it was on a lush hill behind the artificial lake, all the way to the verdant cover, but it was also a quiet place, at the end of the road, I saw the archway, which was the ancient style of "Shengyuan Yuan" three big characters, as soon as the archway passed, it was a large courtyard, and the boxy wall extended to the place where the eye was poor. Turned over the more than two meters high wall, into the courtyard, a tall locust tree in the courtyard is surrounded by a pocket rockery pavilion, sprinkled with shade all over the patio, Luo Xiaoyi found the other squad leaders in the first year of high school, and in the past they were tied into a pile, opposite are the seniors of the second and third years of high school, and the two sides are clearly distinguished.

Of course, the main reason is that the squad leaders of the sophomore and junior years of high school are all wearing black crowned and antique costumes, which is simple and suitable for the scene. The class leaders of the first year of high school here are all sweatshirts and school uniforms, and a group of children who have strayed into the hall of adulthood when they see it. Not long after, a group of main leaders of the student union dressed in black piping and gold crowned ancient costumes, wearing black and gold-trimmed crowned hats, walked in in a huge manner, and two of them were still wearing ribbons with purple and gold trim patterns, it was the president of the student union and the two vice presidents.

A group of leaders passed through the courtyard, directly into the upper room, there is only a row of main seats lined up, the leaders sat separately, there were already a group of girls with purple armbands served melon and fruit cakes, the tea was not served, the leaders each had a bottle of Wahaha mineral water, after being busy, the girls stood on both sides, waiting for orders. There's not much room in the upper room, and it seems that everyone else is going to gather outside the room and wait for instructions.

First of all, after a few school affairs work, after several senior seniors who were called by name went in to report, they heard from inside, "Now let's enter today's official topic." The squad leaders of the sophomore and junior years of high school all looked at the squad leaders of the first year of high school meaningfully, and the smiles that couldn't see the content clearly hung on the corners of their mouths.

I don't know if it was a random selection or what, Luo Xiaoyi was the first to pass in, looking at the people on the rostrum, all of them were solemn and majestic, Luo Xiaoyi felt convinced by a kind of mountain spirit. Everyone on the rostrum stared at Luo Xiaoyi, both men and women, and they didn't speak, as if they were waiting for something. Luo Xiaoyi couldn't see anyone signaling to him, he was silent for a few seconds, and he didn't know if it was right, according to the opening ceremony, he bowed to the school, "Luo Xiaoyi, the fourth class leader of the first year of high school, bowed to the seniors" said a ninety-degree bow, and after maintaining this posture for five or six seconds, the student union president who was sitting opened his mouth, "Please get up!" Luo Xiaoyi raised his head and knew that the president of the student union was a boy named Zhu Zonghui in the third year of high school.

"Let's get down to business first" Zhu Zonghui opened his mouth, and Luo Xiaoyi nodded.

"When will your class's taxes for this semester be paid?" After Zhu Zonghui asked, looking at Luo Xiaoyi's blank expression, everyone on the rostrum smiled.

The seniors gathered outside the room had long expected this result, and they laughed, and occasionally said, "This time of year is the happiest." ”

"Haha, that's it, the freshmen still don't know anything!" The uproar.

Luo Xiaoyi stabilized his expression, waited for the following, everyone's smiles hung on his face, and Zhu Zonghui opened his mouth again, "Although the things are the same every year, I still say it from the beginning, and the senior class leaders outside also listen to it" As soon as the words fell, a group of girls began to distribute pamphlets to the senior class leaders, Luo Xiaoyi was also stuffed with a copy, and after reading it, Zhu Zonghui saw that it was almost there, "It makes sense for the class fee to be kept by the students themselves, and if the strength is poor, the fee will be taken away by the senior class, The senior students who have the ability to draw the class fees for the lower grades do not have to pay taxes themselves, and the strong ones only need to pay part of the student union, and the others can be arranged by themselves" After that, he looked at Luo Xiaoyi.

"Seniors, there are fifty-six people in our class, each of whom pays twenty yuan per semester, which is more than 1,000 yuan, which is to maintain the daily necessities of the class, organize large-scale activities and purchase related equipment, these our teachers have explained to me, I have not heard of the saying that there is a protection fee" Luo Xiaoyi is neither humble nor arrogant.

It seems that no matter how shocking the world is, someone has said it, and everyone is unimpressed, "Otherwise, how do you think our student union will operate, and how can we do a lot of things on behalf of the students' own strength." In the end, this money is used to do things for the whole student community of our school. After Zhu Zonghui finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xiaoyi. added, "Why are you the first to call you, you and your fourth class are fighting with the senior in high school at the beginning of the school year, and you have a good relationship with the seniors in the second year of high school, your class is the first class to be recognized this year and cannot be taxed by the senior class, in other words, you are very strong!" ”

Luo Xiaoyi thought about it carefully, at the party of the sophomore year that day, weren't the group of guests who were shaking themselves to drink all the squad leaders of the sophomore year of high school. "How much does that cost?" Luo Xiaoyi was transparent.

"One-third of the class fee" Zhu Zonghui understated.

Although Luo Xiaoyi always pays attention to maintaining a cool posture, he is still shocked, it is nearly four hundred yuan, and this is a big deficit. After calculating for a long time, he said, "No problem, our class will definitely pay this money, but I request that the financial statements be made public, and how each money is spent must be publicized." There is also whether it is legal to pay money, and whether there is any legal proof. ”

"You have to look at the financial statements of the past ten years, and the regulations governing the student union have entries for the legal collection of membership dues. You can go to the school library to check it out. Zhu Zonghui didn't care.

Luo Xiaoyi nodded, and asked with his eyes if the conversation could be over, Zhu Zonghui leaned forward, "Of course, the organization will respond to the needs of the student union activists, and the organization has decided to support you in this murder case to figure it out." ”

"Thank you seniors, I and Class 4 will support all the work of the student union without reservation." Luo Xiaoyi made a fuss.

When school was almost over, the meeting was over, and a group of boys wearing red armbands came out of the side rooms on both sides: green peppers turned into eggs, stuffed skins with high burdens, red oil beef, and even spicy crayfish, and then served with fried noodles, and the oily meat beat everyone's belly. It seems that the meeting is still in charge of food.

A group of people waited for a table in the courtyard, the male waiter served the food, the waitress poured the wine, and the dishes were almost ready, Zhu Zonghui picked up the wine glass, "The school rules don't drink alcohol in school, but now that school is over, the first glass is dry!" Everyone leaned their necks and finished doing it, and began to eat the dishes on the Mixi table, Zhu Zonghui and the leaders began to toast one by one, and when it came to Luo Xiaoyi, Zhu Zonghui patted Luo Xiaoyi's shoulder, "The cost of eating is also clearly written, you can check the subject of official reception expenses."

"This is absolutely reasonable," Luo Xiaoyi looked serious.

"Introduce someone to you" Zhu Zonghui beckoned someone over, "This is Xila, the squad leader of the fifth class of the second year of high school, and he will help you deal with this incident." ”

A tall, white and clean young man shook hands with Luo Xiaoyi, Sila didn't talk much, and his eyes didn't turn quickly, Luo Xiaoyi felt that he was deliberately creating a very slow atmosphere when he spoke, controlling the emotions of the people talking to him, and letting others listen to his words more carefully according to his own rhythm.

The two of them made an appointment tomorrow to check the details, and then the whole banquet was staggered, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, and the car was like a dragon.

The next morning, Luo Xiaoyi did two things, the first was to confirm the payment with Li Xiaodong, and Li Xiaodong replied, "How did you know?" ”

Isn't that for nothing that I have to do so much travel budgeting after the final exam? Luo Xiaoyi felt that he would expand his source of intelligence in the future.

Second, he and Cheng Bei inquired about the origin of Cyra, and got a reply, and I am not from the same plane.

What is this, this is all this, it's easy to say, but I still asked Cheng Bei to help me find out.

During the afternoon cleaning, Luo Xiaoyi found Cyla, and the styles of the two were quite close, one spoke in a clear manner, and the other grasped the essence. The day's situation was over quickly. Luo Xiaoyi now deliberately asked himself to press down the beat of his work, forced himself to calm down, and waited for Cyra to speak first.

"Are there any people in particular suspicion from the police right now?" Cyra said slowly.

"If I say anything about Ma Yan, then it's time to doubt me," Luo Xiaoyi replied.

"Brother glasses met Ma Hui with you, will he not know that you are not seeing a person?" Sila circled the name of the glasses brother with a red pen from the notebook, Luo Xiaoyi leaned over to take a look, and the name was written on the glasses brother.

Cyra suddenly looked up at Luo Xiaoyi

"Do you suspect the glasses guy? Deliberately not following his train of thought? ”

Luo Xiaoyi raised his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Then I'll talk to the glasses guy," Cylar closed the notebook.

"I asked Cheng Bei to investigate you," Luo Xiaoyi continued.

"It's just right, I won't surprise the snake by investigating like this." Cyra is gone. Luo Xiaoyi wrapped his arms around and walked back and forth a few times. Went to the dean's office.

"You guys, now the public has no more to say, we are waiting." Zhu Jun, the director of teaching, comforted Lu Luo Xiaoyi.

"You tell me if the object of suspicion is among us, and you don't even need to speak." Luo Xiaoyi stared carefully at Zhu Jun's big face that looked like a map of Europe.

"I know" Luo Xiaoyi nodded and walked out of the teaching room.

When he came to the entrance of the school commissary, a girl seemed to help him bring a box of biscuits, Luo Xiaoyi passed twenty yuan, took the box of biscuits, returned to the classroom, and tore off a note attached to the bag of biscuits. After reading it carefully for a while, I copied the name in my notebook, and then tore up the note and threw it away.

Luo Xiaoyi went to the Shengyuan Garden on Saturday morning as promised, paid the tax burden for this semester, and took the receipt. "See you in the afternoon." "Then he went out the door.

"I drink Jianlibao", as soon as Cheng Bei entered the lark song and dance hall in the afternoon, he had to order something that was not available here. Luo Xiaoyi took out a can and handed it to her.

One after another, Luo Xiaoyi began to speak, "I believe everyone knows each other, and I called you here today to solve this case within our scope." ”

"The police don't have any more information to give us, we don't know how the deceased was killed, what the scene of the murder was like, nothing. I'm just going to assume what happened to me that day, by looking through the trajectory of my behavior that day. Let's give a reasonable explanation for the bizarre situation I encountered," Luo Xiaoyi nodded at everyone.

"We're in the lark caraoke hall near the gate right now, and that's where I came to see Ma Hui that day." Luo Xiaoyi pointed with his hand.

Everyone's eyes focused on Cheng Bei's face, and she continued to drink Jianlibao indifferently.

"There is a problem here, because Ma Hui looks like the Ma Yan I saw later, so who was Ma Hui I saw that day?" Luo Xiaoyi lowered his voice.

"You saw Ma Hui that day, and it was still Ma Hui, but Ma Hui had two faces." Cyra said slowly.

"Yes!" Luo Xiaoyi nodded.

The mouths of the people were wide open.

Luo Xiaoyi asked Cheng Bei to change to a side-sitting position, Cheng Bei did so, but the position was changed slightly, and with the use of light, Cheng Bei's face became unfamiliar, and when Luo Xiaoyi asked her to answer, she deliberately lowered her face to the right, and at the same time covered her right face with her long hair, that is, she completely became another person.

"Hey, magic, why is that?" Everyone was amazed.

"This is because our fusiform gyrus has been linked to facial recognition for a long time. It has been suggested that the left fusiform gyrus will calculate a familiar or similar face in detail, while the right fusiform gyrus will extract this information for quick decision-making to determine how the same face in memory differs from the new face. According to common sense, the activity of the fusiform gyrus on the left side is a few seconds earlier than on the right side, so when I pay attention to the side of Ma Hui's face, the left side of the brain does some work first, and then transmits the information to the right side of the brain for processing. Because she didn't appear in my memory bank, I didn't build a backup archive of her, and a new unfamiliar face was created on the right side of the fusiform. Therefore, when Ma Hui changed the way of facial imaging and faced me as Ma Yan, I thought that Ma Yan was a different person. Luo Xiaoyi opened the weekly notebook and concluded after reading it.

"Please follow me now." Luo Xiaoyi beckoned everyone to follow him to the door, next to the lark karaoke hall is a small supermarket, everyone walked through the supermarket, and saw the signboard of another karaoke hall "Blue Sky Song and Dance Hall", Luo Xiaoyi walked in with everyone, it was much smaller than the lark, there were a few tables in the hall, the lights were also very dim, and the position on the left side of the hall was a row of boxes, the same as the box layout of the lark, it was just enough to sit in a cubicle for two people, but it was a good place to sleep when drunk.

"This is where I slept when I got drunk one day." Luo Xiaoyi said to everyone.

"You mean, you're drunk on the lark, but sleeping in the blue sky?" Cheng Bei raised her long hair and asked.

"Yes, whether I came to lie down by myself or someone operated it, these details need to be answered and then reversed, but I did sleep here one day. Right. Luo Xiaoyi asked behind everyone's backs.

"Yes, I woke you up one day." As soon as everyone turned around, a middle-aged boss appeared behind them.

Everyone walked out of the Blue Sky Song and Dance Hall, and was stunned at the door for a while, Cheng Bei opened her mouth, "It looks like someone is calculating you all this"

"Unfortunately, it seems to be the case." Luo Xiaoyi replied.

"Why?" Cheng Bei continued to ask.

Luo Xiaoyi looked at Cheng Bei silently for a while, the glasses brother, Cyla.

"I don't care who wants to do it, I don't care who wants to do it! If anyone wants to pass through Ma Hui and try to disadvantage me, I now have absolute evidence in my hands that I can sink Ma Hui's chess piece. Luo Xiaoyi said word by word.

"Even if you doubt us, I still have to ask what absolute evidence you have." Cheng Bei then asked.

"I know Ma Hui's name, and what's interesting is that her name means a girl who can't lie, if I leak these things to their administrators, she will definitely not be able to bear it, and I can't say what will happen at that time." Luo Xiaoyi looked at Cheng Bei, the glasses brother, and Cyla, all three of them were expressionless, looking straight at themselves with their eyes, without flinching at all.

"I mean, this matter is over, no one should make a fuss, the police did not suspect us, the method of leading the water to the east is also different, let's compare it with another means." Luo Xiaoyi nodded.

Cheng Bei seemed to want to say something, but she pressed herself down again, and the glasses brother didn't say anything, but opened his mouth

"When do you want my investigation report on Cheng Bei and the glasses guy?"

"Their investigation report on you has already been delivered, and it looks like you're going to hurry." Luo Xiaoyi said.

Morning News Release: The bizarre murder case in the Karaoke hall is a closed-loop modus operandi that transcends time and space.
