"It was a murder."

The man who spoke looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a police uniform, his face was dark and cold, he had no expression from beginning to end, and his voice was unusually dull.

"There's... Are there any clues to the murderer? As soon as Han Dongzhi spoke, he frowned remorsefully, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes.

He was wearing a washed whitish blue shirt with the corners of the shirt slightly rolled up. Standing in the classroom office, facing the man in front of him.

From time to time, students passed by in the corridor outside, crowded in front of the window to watch the excitement, and after two minutes, they were all called away by the teacher.

"My name is Shi Yong, and I am the police officer in charge of this case."

"I didn't expect this to happen in the graduate class I led, and the college entrance examination will be in a few weeks. The principal and I just received Haorui's father, and although I kept apologizing, I was still slapped in the face, but I will never hold a grudge. ”

Han Dongzhi touched half of his slightly red cheeks and wanted to pull his gaze back to the ground, but Officer Shi Yong's eyes were like magnets, leaving him with nowhere to hide.

"Teacher Han, some people have reported that after self-study last night, you and Hao Rui were chatting alone in the classroom, is there such a thing?"

His voice was slow and powerful, like a multi-ton piledriver, crushing me to pieces.

"Yes." Han Dongzhi lowered his head and replied softly.

"Why didn't you say it sooner?"

"I ......"

"Don't be nervous, just explain the situation."

"Last night, I happened to pass by that classroom, and it was Hao Rui who dragged me to talk. She asked me about the difficult questions in the chemistry mock exam paper, and I took him about ten minutes to answer them. ”

"Anything else?"

Han Dongzhi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Teacher Han, what is your impression of Haorui's student?"

"This student is a bit weird, he likes to stare into other people's eyes, and his eyes seem to penetrate your skin and hit your brain, as if he will see through any secret. And he has a somewhat withdrawn personality, and I'm afraid he is the only one who stays alone in the library in the middle of the night. ”

"How do you know he's gone alone in the middle of the night?"

"Oh? And the murderer! A trace of panic appeared in Han Dongzhi's eyes, and he asked again, "You mean, in addition to the victim and the murderer, there may be a third person at the scene?" ”

Officer Shi Yong shook his head calmly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reasoned with you. What I want to ask is..."

"I know what you're going to ask," Han Dongzhi suddenly slammed his fist on the glass countertop, "Damn! Recently, there have been some outrageous rumors circulating in the school that I have a problem with my gender orientation. This is simply an insult to me! And there's no way I'm going to attack my own students, even if it's a female student! ”

"Teacher Han, about this matter, I have talked to the principal and other teachers, this rumor has no evidence, it is just circulating among the students, I believe you are innocent."

Officer Shi Yong couldn't help but light a cigarette and took two puffs, "By the way, I heard that you graduated from this school?" ”

"Yes, I spent three years of high school here, and I am too familiar with every plant and tree here, but I didn't expect to return to teach here after graduating from the chemistry department of S University, I think... Very lucky. ”

"Lucky?" Officer Shi Yong frowned slightly, "Being admitted to S University shows that you not only work harder than ordinary people, but also have a smart mind beyond ordinary people, and after you graduate, continue to return to a small place to teach, are you really satisfied?" ”

Han Dongzhi nodded unusually seriously.

"Teacher Han, you are only twenty-six years old, and your consciousness is so high, it is really admirable." His face was covered with blue smoke, making it difficult to see his eyes, "I heard you're leaving school soon?" ”

"I can't bear it! I've only been a high school teacher for two years, and this is the first and last graduating class I've ever led, and I'll leave when the college entrance examination is over. ”

"May I ask where Mr. Han is going to go to high school?" Officer Shi Yong asked, staring at his face.

"H Group, I didn't expect the famous H Group to take a fancy to me, a little chemistry teacher." Han Dongzhi smiled happily, with a bit of smugness in his tone.

"Then congratulations." Officer Shi Yong nodded expressionlessly, and quickly extinguished the cigarette butt he had inhaled: "I'll go first, you won't go far these days, right?" ”

"I've been living in the dormitory of the school, and I'm going to take the college entrance examination next month, so how can I leave the students?"

"Stay in touch and see you soon!"

Officer Shi Yong walked out of the room in a general manner, Han Dongzhi looked at the empty corridor outside the window, and said in an inaudible voice: "I lied..."

"Lied... Lied... Lying..."Countless voices suddenly intertwined and overlapped, and vision gradually blurred.

At the corner of the stairs not far away, a dark red rises and falls on the ground, is that a leather ball?

Han Dongzhi opened his eyes suddenly, and there was still the two-dimensional poster in front of him, the morning light outside the window sprinkled into the room through the window screen, and the clock showed: 6:30.

He suddenly jumped out of bed and rummaged barefoot around the apartment. Ten minutes later, the room was almost turned upside down, but the red ball was never found.

Han Dongzhi sat on the ground weakly and muttered, "Don't torture me anymore, okay..."

He firmly believes that no dream can be so real and clear, and it must be the missing Hao Rui who is sending him some kind of message.

In the early morning, there were only a few police officers on night duty in the police station, and Han Dongzhi was already guarding in front of Bai Xiaohan's office.

At eight o'clock, when Bai Xiaohan saw the otaku writer with dark blue eyes and a somewhat dull gaze, he asked in surprise: "Mr. Han, what's the emergency?" ”

"Hao Rui, he..." Han Dongzhi grabbed Bai Xiaohan's arm and asked eagerly, "Did he have an accident?" ”

Bai Xiaohan opened the office door and motioned for him to come in and speak.

Bai Xiaohan didn't answer his question, but asked him instead: "Did you find any clues?" ”

"It's not a clue, and Officer Bai might think I'm joking with you."

"Tell me about it." Bai Xiaohan poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"I had a dream that was so real that it made me feel terrible! In my dream, I was a teacher in my high school graduating class, and one of the murdered students in my class happened to be named Hao Rui. I think... Is this what is called 'dreaming'? ”

Han Dongzhi's face turned pale, remembering the cold face of the police officer in the dream, and it seemed that he had already decided that he was a suspect.

"Are there any other clues besides this?"

"That's right, the red ball! I remember that it was a toy given to Hao Rui by Qin Mo, and then one night I saw it bounce up on its own for no reason, as if it was being slapped by someone who couldn't see it. ”
