We are going to a public junior high school in Heping Town, the name is Heping Town Junior High School, although it is nominally public, but in the economic downturn in the town, it has slowly become a public-private partnership. Guan Hanshui is the chairman of the board of directors of the middle school.

On the way there, I turned on the radio to lift my spirits because I was tired. The radio was broadcasting what seemed to be a history-related program, because I heard some ancient Chinese myths and stories in it. I, who had always been interested in history, listened with great interest, and the captain put his seat down and fell asleep. Maybe the boredom of the show made him do it.

"Xingtian and the emperor fought for God here, and the emperor cut off his head and buried it in the mountain of Changyang. It is to take the milk as the eye, the umbilicus as the mouth, and the to dance. ”

"Xingtian," I muttered quietly, and the historical myths and stories played on the radio were the stories of Xingtian in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. My excitement was interrupted by the story, and I immediately turned off the radio, not wanting to hear the translation of the story any longer. Xingtian's appearance is very similar to the appearance of You Qi when he died, and I can't help but recall the terrifying scene at the scene of the crime. I thought I had to bring this cruel murderer to justice, so I sped up the car. As the school is located in the town of Heping it is not very far and we arrived very quickly.

"Captain, where do we start investigating?"

"Have you ever heard the saying that the enemy of your enemy is your friend?"

"Of course." Of course, I still don't know what the captain meant by telling me.

"First of all, the principal and the chairman of the board of directors we investigated, who hates them both the most in this school." The captain lit a cigarette as he spoke, and he seemed to be looking forward to my answer.

I was going to say yes, but the answer was no. I replied with a questioning attitude.

"Could it be the other management of the school, such as the vice principal?"

"That's right, I don't think Han Tong's kid should be a good teacher, I think there must be many people who are not convinced by his position as the principal, we might as well investigate from the vice principal, so that the chance is greater."

With that, the captain snuffed out the cigarette in his hand.

"It's time to go in." The captain said.

In fact, in my memory, this school is very broken, and when I was in elementary school, my family always used this school to scare me. At the time, I saw it in person, and it was really in tatters, but now it is completely different. Although it cannot be compared with the schools in the city, it is quite good in the range of urban schools. I can't help but have a little respect for Guan Hanshui in my heart, although I hate this person, but I agree with his investment in education.

Since it was at school, the captain and I did not make a noise to the doorman, but just let the doorman know what we were coming and came in, and the vice principal stood in front of the school building to greet us. By introducing the vice principal's name Jiang Li, who is fifty years old this year, we also introduced ourselves.

"Can you find a quiet place to talk?"

"I don't know what you're here to ask me, but I'm willing. Can you see my office? ”

"Of course." The captain said very politely.

The vice-principal's office is located on the top floor as there are no students going up and down the stairs here. But it's more of an ordinary room than an office. The principal's office next to the vice principal is very large, enough to fit four or five vice principals.

"I'm not very big here, excuse me, what do you drink?"

"It's okay, it's good here, I want a glass of boiling water, okay."

I saw that the captain was going to have water, and I also asked for a glass of water next to me.

The captain took the water and thought for a moment.

"We came to you to inquire about your Principal Han Tong. Excuse me, isn't he here? ”

Hearing Han Tong's name, Jiang Li was obviously a little unhappy. I saw him frowning, and there were many wrinkles on his fifty-year-old face.

"Principal Han Tong is not here, he is generally not at school."

"Hey, what do you think of him, you have to tell the truth. This is critical in a very serious case. ”

"I don't want to say too much, but it must be a big deal to see that you came to the school for him to come to see it in person, so I won't hide it, Han Tong's teaching level is very poor, and it was okay before. The teaching is poor, and his character is also quite poor. ”

"What exactly does poor character mean?"

Jiang Li took a big sip of water and said cautiously.

"He actually got to where he is by bribes, and he ignored teaching. I didn't ask about the school. Even in recent years, he has become more and more arrogant, not to mention bribery and corruption. Together with the management, he misrepresented the construction money and embezzled it. Even though they did, the school changed and got better and better, so we just turned a blind eye. ”

"Does the management mean Guan Hanshui?"

"Well, it's our chairman, in fact, I don't know much about him, after all, he doesn't come to school very often."

After saying this, Jiang Li exhaled deeply, as if he had finally said his grudges for many years. Just when I thought the investigation was over, the captain took a picture from his pocket and put it on the table and asked.

"Do you know this man?"

"Yes, her name is You Qi, she seems to have studied here and came to us a year ago as an intern teacher, not so much an internship as a teaching assistant. But she only worked for a few months before quitting. ”

I looked at the picture on the table, and it was Yuki's. I don't know when the captain wore this. The captain took out the cigarette case, but when he saw the words "No Smoking" written on the wall, he put it back in his pocket and said embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, but I sometimes like to smoke when I ask, please forgive me. I ask you, do you know why she quit her job, or what happened. ”

Jiang Li thought seriously for a long time, I thought about it in him, and I went to fetch another glass of water, maybe the heating given in this room is too sufficient, and it is easy to dry mouth in thick clothes.

"I've heard about it, but the truth of it is yet to be verified. That is, Yuki found evidence of their corruption and threatened him with this, but is it the end? There were many versions I heard at the time, and the most common one was that Han Tong and the chairman took money to eliminate the disaster. ”

"Very well, thank you for bothering you in your busy schedule." The captain bowed deeply, and I bowed too, but it wasn't so "deep".

I came out of school with the captain, and I looked at the captain.

"So where do we go next?"

"Back in the city, it's time for us to go back to the bureau to sort out the evidence and the testimony we got today."

It's been late when I'm back in the bureau, and I'm already feeling sleepy. And most of this drowsiness comes from the fatigue of traveling on the potholed road. We started tonight's meeting with a quick bite of dinner.

There were only four of us who participated in the meeting, namely the captain, me, Cao Yang and Liu Xiaoyu.

"I also visited the residents in the city today, except for Han Tong and Guan Hanshui. Their answers were similar to the innkeeper's testimony, but they were still fruitful." Cao Yang said meticulously beside him.

"What a catch." The captain asked, his eyes lit up.

"First of all, we went to ask Feng Xu, he hated me very much, but he was also quite scared, because our visit would definitely show that we were already suspicious of him. He told him all about the situation. He said that he came to the hotel at twelve o'clock and stayed at the hotel for more than an hour, no matter how much he knocked on the door, You Qi would not open it, but he could confirm that You Qi was still inside. Because he heard the voices inside, he revealed to us that he had brought scissors with him when he came. ”

"Scissors?" I asked, puzzled.

"That's right, it's scissors, he said that he was going to die with Youqi, he admitted that he couldn't catch up with Youqi no matter how he chased him, so she was resentful and wanted to break it off with her, when I asked him why he said it so quickly, he complained that if he was found by the police, he couldn't tell it, so he wanted to say it himself, and he didn't kill anyone anyway."

The captain smiled when he heard this, and I think he thought the case was interesting.

"What about the others? How they answered. ”

"Luo Ting, he said that he left at half past one, he had never left the room before, and he had a good relationship with the deceased, because she showed us a recent photo of the two of them, and the date on her phone was also recent. As for that Sun Kai, he kept saying that he had never been out of the room, so there was no so-called alibi, but he said a very interesting thing. ”

"Something." The captain listened intently.

"That is, Sun Kai revealed that when he was at 1:35, he received a WeChat voice from the deceased, the content was that he wanted to talk to him and hoped to go to the opposite hotel together in the evening."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, the chat record at that time is still there, it's 1:35."

The captain put his hands on his forehead and whispered.

"In this way, one thirty-five to two o'clock is the time when the deceased was killed, so if you look at it, the murderer is left, Guan Hanshui, Han Tong and Sun Kai. And Guan Hanshui and Han Tong also have alibi certificates. But if it was Sun Kai, how could he tell a confession that was unfavorable to him, was it confusing or was there something hidden. ”

After speaking, the captain also talked about the problems encountered during our visit. After compiling all the testimonies, we left work. I still take a taxi home and sit in the taxi and can't help but think. Sun Kai's hatred for You Qi is the strongest, because he is the enemy who destroyed his family. However, there is nothing wrong with Sun Kai's testimony, but it is strange to say unfavorable testimony without an alibi. Secondly, it is also possible for Han Tong to kill people after his corruption transaction was known by unrelated people, but his alibi was sufficient, and he was in a meeting from one to two o'clock, and Guan Hanshui also entered the online conference after returning to the hotel. But although Feng Xu frankly said that he wanted to die with You Qi, he also said at the time that he didn't say it purely to avoid the suspicion of the police, although Luo Ting had no alibi, but he had a good relationship with the deceased. But if Sun Kai's testimony is believed, the suspicion of the latter two will disappear.

These enigmatic testimonies, combined with the fatigue of today's journey, give me a pain in my head, and I don't know which testimony to believe and which one is a lie. In this way, I went home, washed up, and went to sleep......
