When he received the report, Gu Song was accompanied by Qiao Sheng and sent Jack back to his mother's house. Gu Song's mother, Qiao Nianzhen, is a retired teacher at R Normal University, and her family lives in the family area of the school headquarters. Knowing that the murder happened not far from the door of his house, Gu Song's heart couldn't help but be a little worried.

Before leaving, he patted his mother's thin shoulder and told him repeatedly: "Mom, there is a murder case at the Normal University, and I will go over with my cousin to see the situation." In the last few days, you must be careful, and don't go out and wander around when you have nothing to do. ”

"What the hell is going on? Who died? Qiao Nianzhen looked up at Gu Song, the expression on his face was both a little panicked and a little worried. It is conceivable that such a thing suddenly happens in a place where you have worked for half your life, and everyone will feel uncomfortable.

However, Gu Song didn't know much about the situation at the scene now. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I have to go over to find out the details." Anyway, you have to listen to me, be careful yourself! ”

Ten minutes later, Gu Song took Qiao Sheng through the familiar university campus and came to the crime scene on the sixth floor of the administrative building in the southeast corner of the campus.

The informant, Liu Cuilan, is a cleaning staff at the Normal University, mainly responsible for cleaning the administrative building. At around 1:15 p.m., she was mopping the floor in the hallway when she noticed that the door to the vice-principal's office was wide open and a fishy smell was coming from it. Out of curiosity, she leaned down on the door and looked inside. This sight almost scared her to death, and she never dreamed that there was a bloody corpse lying on the floor of the office.

According to Liu Cuilan's account, the offices of important leaders are located above the fifth floor of the administrative building, and outsiders rarely enter and leave the building. And at this time of day, most people have gone out to eat, and the whole building is almost empty. She started cleaning from the seventh floor at around 12:40 and came to the sixth floor at around 13:10. In the time she had found the body, she had not seen any suspicious people passing through the hallway.

Because her son is a police officer at the police station, Liu Cuilan has a strong sense of on-site protection. After making the call, she stood at the door of the office, waiting for the police to come to the scene to find out the situation, and did not enter the office, nor did she let other faculty and staff who rushed to destroy the scene.

Qiao Sheng was very satisfied with Liu Cuilan's performance. After a preliminary understanding of the situation, he and Gu Song put on gloves, shoe covers and other investigation equipment and entered the scene of the crime.

This is an office of about 30 square meters, with simple decoration, clean and tidy. There are not many furnishings in the interior, from the inside to the outside are bookcases, desks, two swivel chairs, wooden hangers, water dispensers, and directly opposite the entrance there is a four-seater U-shaped leather sofa, in front of which there is a double-layer tempered glass coffee table.

The victim's body lay on its back in front of a coffee table, and there were no signs of a fight in the office. The killer should have entered the scene peacefully, and there was not much threat to the victim. At the time of the crime, the two were standing facing each other, and the murderer should have hidden the murder weapon prepared in advance behind him, and suddenly attacked the victim's head with the murder weapon while the victim was unprepared.

Based on the shape of the wound, the forensic doctor deduced that the murder weapon used by the murderer belonged to a metal hammer tool. Because of the repeated blows by the murderer, half of the victim's head has collapsed deeply, the skull is shattered, the brain tissue is outflowed, and the appearance of the corpse is extremely terrifying.

Due to the carpeting in the office, it was difficult for trace inspectors to find valuable footprints at the scene, but on the doorknobs and door frames, they found a few fresh fingerprints left by non-victims and informants, which may have helped solve the case.

Although there were signs of rough flipping in the office, the victim's mobile phone, computer and other valuables were all placed on the victim's desk and were not taken away.

Obviously, the killer didn't do it for money. He came to the vice principal's office in broad daylight to kill people, planned, premeditated, clean-cut, and brutal, most likely an acquaintance to commit the crime, revenge for the murder.

After the murder, the police quickly blocked all the entrances and exits of the administrative building, and registered all the people in the building one by one as a list for future investigation.

Just as Qiao Sheng was looking for clues in the office, a noisy sound suddenly came from the corridor. Qiao Sheng frowned and let Gu Song continue to work, while he walked out of the office to check the situation.

Coming to the corridor, Qiao Sheng saw a girl in a white dress and a shawl with long hair standing outside the cordon, crying and begging the police to let her enter the office.

"Who are you?" Qiao Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, and the policeman who was guarding immediately explained: "Team Qiao, this is Li Tianhua's daughter, Li Xia." She is now a graduate student majoring in Chinese as a foreign language at R City Normal University, and when she heard the news of Vice President Li's death, she immediately rushed over from the dormitory. ”

"You've come just in time, I have something very important to ask you." Qiao Sheng was in a hurry to investigate the case, and for a while he forgot that the weak and poor girl in front of him had just lost the most important relative in her life.

Sure enough, Li Xia completely ignored Qiao Sheng's words, and just looked in the direction of the office while asking anxiously, "Comrade policeman, have you confirmed it?" Is the victim really my dad? ”

"I'm sorry, but the victim's identity has been confirmed...... "The police officer on guard replied in reluctance.

Hearing this, Li Xia hid her face and wept, and her petite body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Qiao Sheng couldn't see girls crying in front of him, especially a girl like Li Xia, who was a small jasper and cute girl. He shook his head and sighed, handed over a pack of tissues, and tried his best to persuade him: "I'm sorry, Li Xia, I know that it is indeed a little difficult for you to cooperate with our investigation at this time, but I need to know some information from you so that we can grasp the list of suspects as soon as possible." You also want to catch your father's murderer sooner, right? ”

Li Xia nodded, still unable to stop sobbing.

Qiao Sheng continued: "Based on the situation at the scene, we suspect that Vice President Li's death was a revenge crime committed by an acquaintance. Can you think about it, did your father ever have a grudge against anyone outside? Are there any enemies? ”

Li Xia suddenly raised his head, looked at Qiao Sheng with tearful eyes, and said unhappily: "My father is a good person, he has always been humble and polite, how can he have a grudge with others?" ”

"No, you misunderstood what I meant......" Qiao Sheng grinned awkwardly and patiently explained, "Anyone can inadvertently offend others. After all, your father is a figure with a head and a face, and his interpersonal relationships are complicated, and it is normal to have one or two enemies. Even if some people are unbalanced and jealous of his identity and status, such a person may commit a crime. ”

"Is there such a person around my father? I, I don't know ......"

"Can't think of any of them?" Qiao Sheng showed a look of disappointment.

"Hmm......" Li Xia bit her lip and racked her brain to search for the memories in her mind. If you had to let me say it, I would think of someone. ”

"Who is it?"

"Half a month ago, my father attended a class reunion for the 25th anniversary of his graduation from college. Although my dad is not the best developed of all my classmates, he is generally quite good. When I was studying, my dad had a male classmate named Feng Jingchun who had a good relationship with him, and his academic performance and personal ability were very good. But for some reason, Uncle Feng's life was not going well. Seeing his former classmates go abroad and make a fortune, he is still a small employee in a state-owned enterprise, and he only gets a salary of a few thousand yuan a month, and his heart is very unbalanced.

"Uncle Feng's daughter took the college entrance examination this year, and her goal is to study chemistry at R Normal University. But judging from the usual simulation results, it is still difficult for that girl to be admitted to the Normal University. Uncle Feng knew that my dad was the vice president of the Normal University, so he wanted to go through the back door to my dad. My dad made it clear that he couldn't do this kind of thing, and he couldn't help with this kind of help.

"Uncle Feng thinks that my dad is perfunctory to him, and he looks down on his old classmates when he has a chance. With the strength of the wine, Uncle Feng also said a lot of ugly things in front of his college classmates. It was also because my dad had drunk too much at the class reunion that day and told us about it when he got home. Normally, he wouldn't whine about it. I don't think Uncle Feng will kill my dad because of this little thing, it's because you have to make me think about it that I ......."

"It's okay, I'm just casually understanding the situation, you don't have to have a psychological burden." Qiao Sheng comforted, and then asked, "What about other than Feng Jingchun?" Can you think of anyone else? ”

"I don't know. When I went to college, I lived in the dormitory most of the time, and I didn't spend much time alone with my dad. My mother knows better about him than I do, you should look for her......" At this point, Li Xia's voice choked again, and tears slid down her cheeks like beads with broken threads. "Oh my God, does my mom know about this? What should she do? Li Xia covered her face and said silently, "She has such a good relationship with my father, and if her father leaves her, she will definitely die of sadness." How will she live in the future? What should I do......"

Li Xia cried heartbroken, Qiao Sheng saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort the other party. At this time, Gu Song also walked out of the office. He just wanted to ask Qiao Sheng what was going on outside, and soon saw Li Xia standing outside the cordon.

"Are you ......" Gu Song took a few steps forward and came to Li Xia's face. The latter raised his head, looked at him in a daze for a few seconds, and then suddenly threw himself into his arms, and his cry became even more sad and desolate.
