Volume 1 Dawn Chapter 40 The Murderer
"Ah~~~ University is so good." Hongyu couldn't help but admire.
It was already May, the weather was just lukewarm, and he wore a loose long-sleeved T-shirt, clean and refreshing. In terms of appearance, Hongyu's own foundation is not bad, and he is close to 1.8 meters tall walking in school, which makes girls passing by look back.
It was ten o'clock in the morning, and he was looking around at the campus, where the verdant willows hung down from their long branches, and when the breeze blew, she raised her hair and rattled among the leaves.
Walking in the direction of the library, the greenery of the school is well done. The shortcut from the South Gate to the Library is a gravel path through a wooded area in the center.
The forest is known as Lover's Slope, and it is a sacred place for couples to have trysts. Walking out of the woods along the path is a large expanse of open meadow, which is already verdant in May, against the blue sky in the babbling stream beside the roadside.
Along the way, occasionally there will be a bold strange female classmate, who will call him a senior when he passes by, and Hongyu waved his hand a little stiffly. After greeting him, the girls thought he was cute and looked back at him curiously.
"Hongyu!"
Hong Yu looked towards the source of the voice, it was Gu Chenxi. He was trotting towards him at the moment, wearing a T-shirt of the same style as himself, but in a different color.
[No, why does this guy wear this outfit too, couple's outfit?] ]
After Gu Chenxi walked in front of him, he took a few steps back, making Gu Chenxi look puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chenxi asked.
Hongyu pointed to his clothes, looked at his own, and then looked at him with a wink.
"Ah~~" Gu Chenxi suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid that people will think that we are?" β
After speaking, Gu Chenxi stretched out his hand and grabbed Hongyu,
"Oops, it's okay! Even if we are engaged in the base, we are still eye-catching, hahaha! β
Hongyu blushed a little for a moment, and hurriedly pushed him away.
"What do you say?! Labor and management are straight, very straight, very straight! β
"Me too, brotherhood too." Gu Chenxi narrowed his eyes and teased him with a wicked smile, "Blushing? Look at you, aren't you honest and honest! β
Finally, under Li Mu's long-term nurturing, the beautiful boy who was once infatuated with love to the end of the world has now become an old fritter who can play hooligans.
He walked towards Hongyu and stretched out his arms, pretending to hug him, so frightened that Hongyu hid back.
"You, you, you! Don't come here! I called the police! Hongyu shouted in a panic.
Gu Chenxi stood in place, clasped his waist with his hands and shook his head with a smile, he looked around, and the girls passing by were all looking at them, talking about something curiously.
[Forget it, don't tease him.] ]
Gu Chenxi licked the corners of her mouth and showed a charming smile. He tilted his head towards Hongyu and said, "Come with me." β
Hongyu frowned, and only followed him after he walked two meters.
The two walked into the library together, and walked into the hall through the glass door, with several access control machines in front of them. Gu Chenxi walked in front and swiped the meal card, and after the door panel opened, he took advantage of the doorman's inattention, put the meal card on the machine and slid it back.
Hongyu's eyes were quick, and he immediately followed to catch the meal card. The doorman raised his head and glanced at him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then he followed Gu Chenxi into the library.
[Whew...] It's a hassle. ]
According to Team Xiao's meaning, the murderer may also be a student, and he is likely to commit the crime again.
In order not to startle the snake, and in order to prevent panic among the students, he repeatedly instructed Hongyu to keep a low profile in this investigation, and try not to identify himself before meeting the person who needs to be talked.
Gu Chenxi also understands this truth, and doing so is good for the police and the school.
In order not to interfere with the learning atmosphere of the students in the hall, the two of them walked very lightly. Hongyu looked at the serious reading of those students, with some envy in his eyes and a hint of relief.
It is a great honor to see the people you protect working so hard to live.
[If I hadn't been in the army, maybe I would have studied in college like them.] ]
Hongyu remembered some things from the past, why he insisted on being a policeman in the first place, until now, he has not wavered for a moment, but occasionally he is still too tired, and he will want to take a break.
He smiled and followed Gu Chenxi.
"We are all saddened," said a male teacher surnamed Sun, "and the news of his death is a great loss for the whole community."
Hongyu was standing in front of him and asking the deceased's colleagues, holding a pen in his hand and constantly recording something in a small notebook.
"Do you know anyone who would want to hurt Professor Wang? Hirowa asked.
Teacher Sun thought for a while, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a woman in a wrapping skirt.
"Our job is to observe and study, and if I had observed anyone with such tendencies, I would have handed them over to you a long time ago." The woman said to him.
Hongyu looked the woman up and down, about forty years old, a little fat, not tall and wearing glasses, and there was a disgusting contempt in her eyes.
Seeing her coming, Teacher Sun held back what he wanted to say, shook his head, and sat aside.
"Professor Zhang." Gu Chenxi nodded at her.
"I'm Zhang Xiaoyun, and I'm the professor in charge of this department." After speaking, she shook hands with Hongyu.
"Hongyu, the police officer in charge of this investigation." Hirowa responded.
After shaking hands, he and Gu Chenxi glanced at each other and asked Zhang Xiaoyun, "Teacher Zhang, we need a roster of students in Professor Wang's class, as well as his personal file. β
"Absolutely." She nodded.
"Has anything happened to your department lately? Expulsion or what major scandal? β
Professor Zhang frowned, but it was fleeting, and then she replied with a serious expression, "No, not at all." β
"Li Zheng, she's a graduate student, she committed suicide a month ago." Teacher Sun, who had just sat down, interjected, "There is also a student surnamed Lu who took a leave of absence a few weeks ago, and he blames himself for the girl's death. β
The smile on Professor Zhang's face stiffened visibly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. She turned her head and smiled at Teacher Sun, obviously reproaching him for speaking out about the scandal at school.
"Does Li Zheng have anything to do with Professor Wang?" Hongyu asked Professor Zhang.
"As far as I know, no, she chose to commit suicide because she was under the pressure of studying for a PhD."
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything useful for the time being, Hongyu decided to go back to the police station to find Team Xiao first and discuss the next step together.
He closed the notebook in his hand and walked out of the library with Gu Chenxi. When he went out, Hongyu glanced back and saw Professor Zhang and the teacher talking with a serious expression.
Hongyu returned to the police station and came to Team Xiao's office. He handed the note to Team Xiao and told him what he had seen and heard there.
"Do you think that student who asked for leave is suspicious?" Team Xiao asked.
Hongyu nodded and said, "That Teacher Sun seems to mean that he is a good friend or a pair of lovers with the girl who committed suicide." β
"Committed suicide by being unjust, and her boyfriend avenged him?"
He understood what Team Xiao meant, but according to the deceased's colleagues, the girl and the deceased did not know each other.
"I don't know." Hongyu shook his head, "That Professor Zhang is deliberately hiding something. β
Seeing that he was sullen and that it was almost noon, Team Xiao proposed to invite him to eat something good.
"While eating and talking, I just want to introduce you to Professor Shen, who is just about to arrive."
It is also a strange thing that the iron rooster, who usually does not pull out a hair, wants to be invited to dinner today. Hongyu looked at him with wide eyes, and agreed without thinking about it.
But just when the two were about to go out, the mobile phone in Hongyu's pocket rang.
"Hello?" Hongyu took out the phone and asked.
"Officer Hong, I'm Teacher Sun just now." His voice on the phone was a little hurried, "I want to tell you something, something I can't say in front of Professor Zhang." β
Hongyu and Team Xiao looked at each other for a moment, then he turned on the speakerphone and held the phone between the two.
"What?"
"The truth."
Hongyu then asked, "Are you still in the library?" β
"No, I'm gone."
Teacher Sun walked in the corridor, alone with a rapid pace and panting. Feeling unwell, he stopped and took another sip of coffee.
"Now in the Research Building, 7th floor, but I...."
Suddenly, he froze in place, as if sensing something. He was back in the office, picked up the coffee on the table and drank it while walking, his body began to look strange, he looked at the paper cup of coffee in his hand, and felt a panic.
Seeing that there was suddenly no sound in the mobile phone, Hongyu and Team Xiao felt that something was not quite right, and hurriedly asked,
"Teacher Sun? Teacher Sun, are you okay? β
Teacher Sun felt dizzy, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his heart became inexplicably irritable. He felt gravity shift, and his body leaned back uncontrollably.
"I... I drank it.... Alas..."
He crumpled the paper cup in his hand and threw it on the ground. The brown liquid splashed out and spilled on the ground, and some green particles could be faintly seen mixed in the liquid.
Teacher Sun leaned against the wall in despair, lowered his waist, covered his face with his right hand and began to sob, "I was drugged... It's all over..."
The marble floor of the hallway looked like it had come to life, it was wriggling, and so were the walls.
With his scarlet eyes open, he saw the portrait of Marie Curie on the wall, her features were misplaced, twisted together, and she was looking at himself and laughing horribly.
Teacher Sun instantly went limp, and the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
"Teacher Sun? Mr. Sun!? Hiroha's shouts were still heard on the phone.
"It's over, it's over.... It's all over..."
Just as he was sobbing in horror, the light and shadow of the sunlight on the ground suddenly dimmed, and he raised his head and looked towards the end of the hallway.
The door at the end of the hallway was opened, and a tall black figure appeared in the blinding white light.
γDemonγ
Teacher Sun couldn't see the man's face clearly, he had completely lost his mind, and cried out in fear. He sat on the ground, leaning on his arms and waving his stiff body backwards.
"No.... No!! β
The dark shadow tilted its head to look at him, and took out a set of surgical tools from his arms, the sharp edge like the scythe of death.
