Chapter 17: Look at the corpse

Han Yu looked back at Zhou Erya.

Lu Xiaoping said that Bai Fei's boyfriend is Sun Wenli of the University of South China, and it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad, so much so that even Bai Fanggu found out.

Zhou Erya only smiled: "Did he talk to you about anything?" ”

- He was asking Bai Fanggu.

Han Yu was dumbfounded, how could Sun Wenli talk to Bai Fanggu? When you fall in love at this age, you are all respectful of your parents.

Zhou Erya is confused.

Bai Fanggu was not surprised at all, and even showed a smile in her sad expression, as if she was going to forget about her daughter's death, and this soothing expression made her look much younger.

"He's been here to eat once."

There was a gentle look on her face, and she seemed to like the boy very much, and she had the feeling that her mother-in-law was looking at her son-in-law.

He only whispered, saying that Auntie's food here is really delicious, and this kid is very polite.

Sun Wenli, this kid is quite bold.

Han Yu couldn't guess how Zhou Erya would know that Sun Wenli had spoken to Bai Fanggu.

After leaving after the inquiry, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Erya.

"Intuition."

Zhou Erya's reply was concise and to the point.

He always felt that the connection between Sun Wenli and Bai Fei was not so simple.

Han Yu shrugged.

"Then we should go to Sun Wenli now, right?" He scratched his head, feeling that he was always out of step with Zhou Erya in this case. The tacit understanding cultivated before didn't seem to be used, and he could clearly feel that Zhou Erya's mind seemed to be elsewhere in his own elusiveness.

This made Han Yu a little sentimental.

Han Yu even felt that Murong, who had only met twice, was closer to Zhou Erya's heart than him.

This made Han Yu even more sad, and the cool evening breeze brought autumn, which made him sad for no reason.

"It's almost time to meet this key person." Zhou Erya glanced at Murong, who had been silent, "Are you still going with us?" ”

Murong seemed to be in a very bad mood, and after coming into contact with Bai Fei's mother, her originally suppressed and sad mood became even more painful.

She nodded: "Let's go together." ”

There is still no clue about this case, mainly because there is no motive to kill Bai Fei at all, if it weren't for the strange performance, I would probably prefer to believe that it was an accident.

Such a young girl, the relationship between classmates is also more happy than troublesome, at most it is just the hidden jealousy between classmates, but this is not worth mentioning, at least such a small contradiction will not cause murderous hatred, who would bear to harm such a healthy, lively, beautiful girl who is at most a little vain?

- The only possible reason is to kill love.

But judging from the information currently available, the relationship between Bai Fei and Sun Wenli can be called harmonious, of course, the observation of bystanders cannot be counted.

Emotional things are like people drinking water, and they know their own warmth and coldness.

Sun Wenli will be an important figure.

The University of South China is on the edge of the women's university, probably Zhou Erya asked people to say hello in advance, but this time no one stopped them, and they drove straight into the door.

The University of South China had just finished class, and this time the male classmates from the University of South China looked at Murong directly, and some even whistled boldly to attract her attention, but Murong did not squint and was not attracted by the group of adolescent boys.

Han Yu was very embarrassed, and felt that his psychological quality was not as strong as that of a little girl Murong.

One of the teachers in charge of student work received them and informed Sun Wenli to meet them in the small reception room.

When Sun Wenli walked in, his eyes were red.

He was very tall, very slender, fair-skinned, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, and was indeed a likable honor student.

"You already know about Bai Fei?" Zhou Erya knew when she saw his expression.

Although the school did not announce this, the girls must have gone crazy at school, and there was a patrol room in and out of the room in the middle of the night last night, not to mention Sun Wenli, who was very concerned about his girlfriend, as long as he came to inquire, he found that Bai Fei had an accident.

Sun Wenli didn't speak, he lowered his head and hid his face, and tears fell.

Sun Wenli...... Hello, how do you know that something happened to Miss Bai Fei? ”

Han Yu coughed, and his mouth was a little stiff.

This is often the most embarrassing moment for him, and he empathizes with these hurt people, but he doesn't know how to comfort them.

I just think it's a little strange, the school is still blocking the news, where did he learn about it.

Sun Wenli opened his mouth calmly, his voice was hoarse and almost speechless: "Last night, I heard that someone from the patrol room went to school, and a girl was sent to the hospital, I came to inquire early in the morning, and I heard that something happened to the people in the troupe...... I couldn't find Bai Fei again, so I asked a classmate and said it was ...... Say yes ......"

He couldn't go on, so he held back his sobs and turned his face away.

He went to look for Bai Fei this morning, couldn't find anyone, secretly waited at the school gate, and asked a girl who came out to buy breakfast, although the school blocked the news, the girls were still very gossipy, and described to him the terrible things last night......

Sun Wenli still couldn't believe his ears, if it weren't for the school rules, he would probably have run to the women's university to find out what was going on.

At this time, the detective came to him, as well as the friends of Bai Fei's troupe, which confirmed Bai Fei's death from the side and made him fall into deeper despair.

"What is the relationship between you and Bai Fei?"

Han Yu stiffened his head and asked straightforwardly.

Sun Wenli glanced at him silently, lowered his head and whispered: "We are boyfriend and girlfriend, I love her, and she loves me." ”

It's not so much about stating the relationship as it is about confirming a fact to yourself.

Zhou Erya sat on the sofa, crossed her hands on her chest, and looked at him with interest, as if thinking about something.

Murong was like him, sitting on the sofa, looking at Sun Wenli with a pair of wonderful eyes without blinking, as if studying his expression.

Han Yu couldn't bear it in his heart, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "How did you know each other, and how long have you known each other?" ”

Judging from the feedback from the girls in the drama club, Sun Wenli and Bai Fei have been in love together for almost a few months, meet often, and their relationship is also very stable.

Sun Wenli is quite calm, at least calmer than Bai Fang, he recalled with difficulty: "The first time we met was a show half a year ago, there was a program in the drama club of their women's university, and I saw her offstage......"

He also acted in drama and was actively involved in club activities, and they had a communication backstage at that time.

In Sun Wenli's mouth, Bai Fei was enthusiastic but shy at first, although she took the initiative to talk to him a lot, but she always stopped talking.

Sun Wenli fell in love at first sight, fish and geese spread frequently, and after several communications, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

The time for which the relationship was really determined, almost three months.

"That's about three or four months, so you shouldn't have many opportunities to meet, right?" Han Yu asked.

The courtyard walls of the school separated the people who loved each other, and at first they had little chance to meet, and even if they did, they had to avoid people's eyes, and most of the time when they came home from vacation, they hurried to meet in the hidden places in the streets and alleys.

The love that is sustained by letters is slow and difficult, but the two young people enjoy it.

Untilβ€”rehearsals for the play began.

"It wasn't much, but it happened to be ...... her new play"

"Rehearsals for this play?" Han Yu pricked up his ears, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a chance to meet?" ”

Lu Xiaoping said that Sun Wenli sometimes sneaked into the school to meet Bai Fei, but she didn't know the details of how she sneaked in.

"Hmm."

"How did that meet?" Han Yu asked.

Sun Wenli was a little hesitant, but the huge grief made him unable to care about anything, and replied: "This is the secret passage that Bai Fei discovered by chance, the secret passage to the backstage of the school, which I shouldn't have said, but now...... She's gone......"

It's a shocking secret, but now that people are dead, the secret has lost its meaning.

"Secret passage?" Han Yu almost jumped up.

There is a secret passage in the women's university, and I don't know how much lace news this kind of thing will bring, but I didn't expect so many people in the school to find out, but in the end it was two lovers who found out.

"Where?" He couldn't wait to ask.

Sun Wenli fell into grief and did not answer for a long time.

"Interesting." At this time, Zhou Erya also interjected, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, "Then have you ever thought about what purpose this secret passage was built for?" ”

Is this the time to ask this? Shouldn't you ask the location of the secret passage first?

Han Yu glared at him, helpless, Zhou Erya's focus was always strange.

Of course...... Women's universities have secret passages, which is quite strange indeed.

However, this building was not originally used as a women's university, and it seems that the original purpose of construction was to serve as a consulate, and it is not surprising that such a special purpose building left a secret passage.

- In short, now is not the time to care about these, first of all, we must find out the location of the secret passage, and whether it has anything to do with Bai Fei's death this time.

Sun Wenli shook his head, feeling inexplicable, he was already in a sad mood, but now he felt even more blocked, and said sullenly: "How do we know ......?"

"Where's the secret room?" Han Yu only cared about this issue.

"It's going straight to the props room backstage." Sun Wenli sighed gloomily, and did not hide it, "The exit is just outside the courtyard wall, the small forest and river beach, which is quite hidden, and ordinary people will not go there at all." And you have to open the door inside to get in, and the passage is narrow and dark, and no one will explore. ”

This secret passage is obviously not for the convenience of people from the outside world to enter, but for the people inside to come out or escape, if Bai Fei does not open the door to Sun Wenli, even if he finds this secret passage, it is useless, and he can't even guess where this passage leads.

"Prop room?"

It's the closed door on the staircase.

Han Yu's eyes lit up: "This can explain why Bai Fei went up the stairs, she opened the door for you to enter the props room." However, isn't the key in Zhang Heming's hand, it seems that she still has something to hide from us! ”

The key to the props room is only Zhang Heming, and if Bai Fei wants to have a private meeting with Sun Wenli, he must open the door of the props room through Zhang Heming.

So this Kun Jiaoer should obviously know more about the relationship between the two than Lu Xiaoping, but she didn't take the initiative to mention it at all.

"This person is very suspicious!"

Han Yu had a lot of absurd reasoning in his mind, and thought of the murder on the ship - maybe it was because Zhang Heming had strange feelings for Bai Fei and couldn't stand her love, so he moved to kill?

"Do you think it will be like a homicide on a ship in the Indian Ocean, Di Wei ......" Han Yu was denied by Zhou Erya before he finished his thoughts.

"You're thinking too much." Zhou Erya shook her head and glanced at Murong, "If that's the case, you should find out, right?" ”

"They are normal friends, maybe there will be a little conflict, but it's just a small conflict on the crew, and we often quarrel because of lines or performances, but it's just a matter of facts, and it won't affect our private feelings." Murong nodded very solemnly and said.

"Maybe that's just your feelings, not everyone is like you." Han Yu sighed and said.

Now that the people around have learned about it, there has been no progress in the case. Bai Fei's social relationship is simple, there are no personal enemies, and there are no emotional twists and turns, it is the time for honey to blend oil.

By any measure, it was an unfortunate accident.

"The only suspicion is the eyewitness An Lin, she was greatly stimulated, but after two or three days, how can she recover, let's ask her again Maybe it is a breakthrough."

Han Yu has not been in a rut until now, there is nothing worth reasoning about this case for the time being, no matter how you think about it, it is a hypothesis and a dead end.

"Let's go see An Lin tomorrow, but she's talking nonsense over there, I'm afraid she doesn't have any useful information." Murong ran with him for a day today, his face was a little tired and gray, and said.

"Then that's all for today, and you can go back and rest quickly." Han Yu was much more considerate than Zhou Erya, thinking that Murong hadn't slept well last night, don't be tired.

"Aren't you going to look at the corpses?" Murong looked at Zhou Erya and asked.

Han Yu also looked at Zhou Erya, it stands to reason that he should go to see the corpse first, but Zhou Erya has been hating the corpse more and more recently, even if he looks at it, he is disgusted to look at it from a distance and leave, if it is not necessary, he will directly leave this task to himself to complete.

Han Yu thought that Zhou Erya would not go over, after all, it was almost time for dinner, and he was the eldest young master who ate for heaven.

Who knows, Zhou Erya nodded approvingly: "You should go and see." ”

Han Yu was very surprised, could it be that this benevolent brother was so easy to talk today because of Miss Murong's company?

He never lingered near the corpse until something caught his attention.

Han Yu was surprised, Zhou Erya was particularly sensitive to the breath of death, and rarely observed the corpse well, preferring to wander around looking for other clues.

And this time the corpse report, there is nothing special, it is just a stumble and a fall.

"But the report from the patrol room seems to be a stumble and fall, and there are no other special wounds, but I also think I should go and see it."

The autopsy report from the patrol room was not helpful, and Han Yu always felt that Zhou Erya would not have any interest in corpses.

But since it was mentioned, everyone agreed, Han Yu felt that going to see it would indeed give him a more intuitive feeling of the case.

"Then I'll contact the patrol room."

Zhou Erya rarely took the initiative.

Of course, the so-called contact between him and Adjutant Cai is still to let Adjutant Cai's people come out.

Adjutant Cai called the patrol room and reported his identity, and the other party was immediately sincerely frightened, saying that Zhou Gongzi cared about the case and people's livelihood, and they were honored and welcomed at any time.

"It's still the advantage of identity......"

Han Yu pursed his lips, if ordinary people wanted to go to the patrol room to check the corpse, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

Zhou Erya is the son of the Overseer, and this surname Zhou alone has given him countless advantages.

Since Zhou Erya was interested, they would not hesitate to go out to the patrol room.

Although Adjutant Cai called, he did not show up, probably still in the Overseer's Mansion, coupled with the recent state disputes, the students and the public were in great mood, and there were also demonstrations on the streets today, blocking traffic.

At dusk, the train became crowded again, and it smelled of sweat, so it was better to walk than to take the train.

Anyway, from the University of South China to the patrol house in the French Concession, it is only three streets away. Zhou Erya and Han Yu went out side by side, Murong followed, just in time to see the procession passing through Xiafei Road and turning towards Westin Road.

The students wore white cloths on their heads, and some people took the lead, shouting slogans for justice and boycotting foreign goods, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Han Yu knew about the recent international disputes, and he was also indignant, and couldn't help but say: "The government is too weak, and now that the international situation is so bad, it should be tougher." We can't let Chinese be bullied. ”

Zhou Erya quietly looked at the fierce crowd, and a trace of gloom floated in her eyes.

"Ah Yu, do you have the idea of throwing a pen from Rong?"

He suddenly asked Han Yu.

Han Yu was stunned, and then nodded: "How could it not be, when I was in Germany, I thought about coming back to join the army, but now the situation is erosive and the government is weak, even if you are a soldier, it is not bad if you are not sent to deal with your own people, how can you have a chance to resist foreign aggression?" ”

Recently, the Nationalist Government's foreign policy has been extremely appeased, pinning its hopes on the intervention of the League of Nations, but in fact, after the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations existed in name only and could not effectively control and guide international relations.

Cruelty at home and cruelty at outside, concessions everywhere, loss of power and humiliation of the country, this is the source of the students' anger.

Han Yu has the heart to carry a gun to defend his family and country, but he also knows that he may not be able to do what he wants.

Zhou Erya was silent and quietly watched the procession pass by.

"You guys go first, what's the matter, come to the school to inform me, if there's nothing wrong, I'll visit the mansion early tomorrow morning." Murong, who was following behind, said suddenly.

"You're not going with us?" Han Yu asked in surprise.

"I saw the corpse the first time...... I don't want to watch it again either. Murong bit his lip and said forbearingly, "I have other things, I'll see you later." ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to run in the direction of the parade, but Zhou Erya grabbed her arm.

"You can't do things halfway." Zhou Erya did not shy away from holding her slender arm tightly, and said with a serious face, "It is precisely because you have seen it once, so you want to go and see it a second time, and if there is anything suspicious, you can help us find out." ”

Murong looked at his hand holding his arm with a somewhat strange expression, the sunset in the sky seemed to be reflected on her smooth and transparent white skin, glowing with a pink shimmer, which was particularly beautiful.
