Cui Hongtao's speed was very fast, and he was the first to arrive at the scene less than twenty minutes after receiving Lin Su's call.

Looking at his puffy eyelids and the look on his face, it was obvious that he hadn't slept when Lin Su called him.

It seems that this case really tortured him a lot.

Listening to Lin Su's general story, Cui Hongtao frowned tightly.

After a short silence, he looked at Lin Su and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Su said: "Originally, I thought it was just a perverted killer, but now it seems that we are thinking too simply. ”

Cui Hongtao nodded and said, "That's right, if you really want to say that these people are from a certain cult, then the nature of the matter will change." ”

Lin Su did not speak, and the Chinese government has always been extremely strict in suppressing cult organizations.

Once a cult organization is involved, this case is not as simple as a murder case.

"Boss, there's a discovery!" Xiao Zhou, who was leading the Technical Investigation Department to collect clues, said suddenly.

Lin Su and Cui Hongtao hurriedly walked over.

Xiao Zhou was holding a book in his hand, and there was a card in the book, on which was a very strange totem.

Cui Hongtao frowned and looked at the totem and asked, "Check in the database to see if there is any information about this totem." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Zhou responded, hurriedly took a picture of the totem and sent it back to the bureau, and naturally someone there would check it in the police system database.

"Did you find any clues?" Cui Hongtao asked.

"Several complete fingerprints were collected at the scene, as well as some samples of hair and blood, which had to be taken back for testing before the results could be obtained. There are no other useful clues. ”

"What about the leaders of Star University? Why hasn't it come yet? Cui Hongtao asked again.

Xiao Zhou was about to speak, when a middle-aged man wearing glasses, accompanied by several security guards, walked over quickly.

"Hello Team Cui, I'm Zhang Sihai, the deputy dean of the School of History of Star University."

"Hello Dean Zhang." Cui Hongtao stretched out his hand and shook the middle-aged man gently.

The middle-aged man looked around, frowned and asked, "Team Cui, what the hell is going on?" ”

Cui Hongtao said: "Dean Zhang should also know about the two murders that happened in Xingda some time ago, right?" ”

Zhang Sihai nodded and said, "I know." ”

"This is the murderer's hideout, and we suspect that it is likely to be the first scene of the murder." Cui Hongtao asked.

Hearing Cui Hongtao's words, Zhang Sihai's face changed and said, "This ...... How is this possible? Could you be mistaken? ”

This is the archives of the Faculty of History, which is under the control of the Faculty of History.

If the murderer really has been hiding here, then the School of History is naturally to blame.

Cui Hongtao glanced at Zhang Sihai lightly and said, "Since we say so, we are naturally sure." ”

Zhang Sihai frowned and said, "Did the murderer catch it?" ”

Cui Hongtao shook his head and said, "No, let them run." ”

"They? Could it be that there is more than one murderer? ”

"At present, as far as we know, there are at least three murderers, and it is difficult to say whether there are any that have not been exposed." Cui Hongtao said.

Without waiting for Zhang Sihai to speak again, he continued: "Dean Zhang, tell us about the specific situation of this archive. ”

"The Archives was built in the late 50s and was one of the first buildings after the establishment of Star University. In the past, it was used as a teaching building, but in the 80s of the last century, when the school built a new teaching building, it was converted into the archives of the School of History. Although it is open to all students of Star University, it is usually open to all students except for the teachers and students of the School of History, because it is full of historical research materials and books. ”

"What about the personnel of the Archives?" Cui Hongtao asked again.

"The person in charge of the archives is Lao Liu, he is an old man in the School of History, and he used to be a teacher, but he was transferred to the archives for some reasons. I have already asked him to inform him that Lao Liu lives in the family home of the school's faculty and staff, and should come over soon. ”

"What is the reason?" Cui Hongtao asked.

"This ......" Zhang Sihai frowned and said, "Team Cui, this shouldn't have anything to do with the case, right?" ”

"Dean Zhang, how do you know it's okay if you don't say it?"

Zhang Sihai hesitated a little, and sighed after a while: "Lao Liu has a strange temper and a more withdrawn personality, and he was complained by students when he was substitute in the past, and then he took the initiative to apply for transfer here to manage the archives." ”

"Humph!" At this moment, a cold snort came from behind him.

A few people looked over there and saw an old man walking over.

This person was the old man Lin Su and An Ke'er had seen on the first floor of the archives before!

Seeing this old man, Zhang Sihai looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if it was because he was heard behind his back, or because of what.

But fortunately, Teacher Liu didn't pay attention to him, but looked at Cui Hongtao and said, "I'm Liu Henian, the person in charge of the archives, you can ask whatever you want." ”

"Then let's stop gossiping and get straight to the point. Mr. Liu, how long have you been working in the archives? Cui Hongtao asked.

Liu Henian frowned and thought for a while: "This time is a long time, almost thirty years, I have been here since this place was just converted into an archive." ”

"Thirty years? You must know a lot about archives, right? ”

Liu Henian nodded and said, "That's right, I'm afraid that no one in the entire school knows this place better than me." ”

"Well, do you know the closed room on the third floor?" Cui Hongtao stared at Liu Henian and asked.

Liu Henian was silent for a moment and said, "I know." ”

"Why is it being locked?" Cui Hongtao asked.

Liu Henian did not speak.

Zhang Sihai on the side coughed lightly and said, "Captain Cui, this is all an old thing in our school. ”

"Teacher Liu?" Cui Hongtao ignored Zhang Sihai and looked at Liu Henian and asked.

Liu He sighed and said: "Actually, there is nothing bad to say, the archives used to be the teaching building of the School of History, at that time, the University of Singapore had just been established, and the School of History was the only one building, until the end of the eighties, when the University expanded the scale of the School of History, it was changed to an archive. ”

"Dean Zhang has already told us about these." Cui Hongtao said.

Liu Henian glanced at Zhang Sihai and continued: "The closed room was originally the office of an old professor in the School of History, and in the early sixties, the old professor was criticized for inappropriate speech, and he hanged himself in the office for a while. After that, there were always strange things going on in that office, and then the room was sealed. ”

Hearing Liu Henian's words, Cui Hongtao frowned.

The sixties were a turbulent time, and many people died.

If it's just that, it shouldn't be nothing, but why does Cui Hongtao feel that Zhang Sihai doesn't seem to be willing to let Liu Henian say more?
