Chapter 13: Boyfriend

Because Zhou Erya sent Adjutant Cai to the Overseer's Mansion in the morning and asked him to tell his father that he would accompany his fiancΓ©e for a day and would not attend the banquet in the evening.

With Adjutant Cai's relay, he must have happily said to the Overseer that the two young men were tired of being together, so they would not disturb their dates and let the young men get along better in private.

Compared with the banquet, Zhou Erya would rather stay in this place full of the alternation of the old and the new, the junction of light and darkness.

"Mr. Zhou, I have heard of your name for a long time...... It's better to be famous than to meet...... No, no, no, it's better to be famous than to meet! Lu Xiaoping seemed to have seen an idol, and she couldn't even speak, and looked at Zhou Erya with stars in her eyes, "I know how many cases you have solved, my family and the textile lady...... The Qinglong Yarn Factory was a business partner, and I was very concerned about this case at that time......"

"Ahem, Miss Lu, let's finish investigating the matter first, and then talk about other things slowly." Han Yu interrupted the excited girl and said to Zhou Erya, "What do you have to ask?" ”

Zhou Erya didn't care about the girl with a face full of admiration, walked to Han Yu and sat down, and said seriously: "There was a delay in investigating the scene just now, you continue to ask, I'll just listen." ”

You're scouting the hell!

Han Yu complained in her heart, but it was not good to debunk her in front of the witnesses, so she could only cry and laugh and continue to ask: "Miss Lu, did you find anything abnormal at that time?" ”

Lu Xiaoping was still very excited, but when she returned to the case, she was in a very complicated mood, her excitement was dissipated by last night's terrible accident, she blinked, and shook her head sadly: "When the power goes out, it's dark and not in the middle of winter, and I'm short-sighted again, so I didn't see anything." By the time they went out, Bai Fei had already ...... It's dead. ”

Speaking of the dead, she fears more than she grieves.

Obviously, her relationship with the deceased was very ordinary, and she did not have the same deep feelings as Murong.

This is also normal, after all, it is impossible for everyone to be good friends.

"How is your relationship with Bai Fei?" Han Yu noticed this and asked.

"Average." Lu Xiaoping shook her head, and then nodded, "Actually, it's okay, she's a little arrogant, and she's better with Murong and Zhang Heming, and she doesn't talk to me much." ”

She thought for a moment and added: "Maybe she has an ordinary family background, and she wants to play with them, like us...... It's just a supporting character that isn't too outstanding, so it's a bit of a deliberate effort to draw a line with us. I can understand that I don't blame her. ”

In Han Yu's heart, this girl seemed to have the transparency of an adult, but Zhou Erya smiled a little sarcastically in her heart.

The girl's mind is really too complicated, no matter what she says, she hides cold arrows, even for the dead, she can't hide the jealousy and hatred that she accumulates on weekdays.

What kind of family background is ordinary, likes to be close to powerful people, this kind of secret rubbing and commenting on private morality, Murong will never say.

Murong only objectively restores the truth of the matter, and rarely influences their judgment with personal feelings.

It's not black and white. Even if a person is a great evildoer, if he has kindness to a certain person, someone will say that he is good.

Only Han Yu was still surprised and asked: "Bai Fei's clothes and accessories are quite good, unlike ordinary people in the family, what does her family do?" ”

Although he never saw the corpse, he still studied the records for the first time, and also asked Zhang Heming and several other classmates about their impressions of Bai Fei, knowing that Bai Fei's usual food, clothing and jewelry exceeded the consumption level of ordinary students.

Lu Xiaoping looked out of the door worriedly, and stopped talking.

Seeing her expression, Han Yu glanced at Zhou Erya for help.

Murong just brought Zhou Erya to the door of the conference room just now, and didn't come in, just waited outside, Lu Xiaoping didn't know that she was there.

Zhou Erya knew her thoughts, and said softly: "It's okay, just to find out the truth of the case, you don't have to worry so much, besides, we will keep these words secret, and no one else will know." ”

There is probably this kind of atmosphere in the school, and people will look down on people if they chew the root of their tongue behind their backs.

But Lu Xiaoping's previous words have exposed the hidden thoughts in her heart, but she feels that she should be more reserved, and don't be regarded as that kind of long-tongued woman by the people she admires.

Sure enough, when she heard Zhou Erya's words, she immediately lowered her voice and said: "Senior Sister Bai Fei's father died very early, and she relied on her mother to open a morning shop to make a living, she never said anything about her family, and her classmates in school didn't know, but her house was opposite my house, so I knew it." ”

Speaking of this, a trace of grievance flashed across Lu Xiaoping's face: "Probably because of this, she was never too willing to deal with me and wanted to keep her distance from me." ”

Bai Fei is a star and heroine of the troupe in school, and a darling with a dazzling halo, of course, she doesn't want people to know her slightly shabby background, and she chooses to distance herself from Lu Xiaoping and cut off her relationship, which is also understandable for her mentality.

"And you've never told anyone about it?"

Han Yu felt that Lu Xiaoping's personality was good, even though Bai Fei was very cold to her, she still kept the secret for her.

Lu Xiaoping shook her head like a rattle, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional: "Of course I didn't say it, my classmates don't know, even her boyfriend doesn't know ......"

Bai Fei has a boyfriend?

Han Yu raised his head in surprise, but he didn't expect that at this inconspicuous witness, he actually got two important pieces of information in a row.

But as a female student at a women's university, she usually has no chance to come into contact with boys, so where did her boyfriend come from?

He thought of what Zhang Heming said before, Bai Fei has been in a good mood recently, and she is in a very good mood, just like she is in love.

It turned out that they were really in love.

Zhou Erya was not surprised at all, and interjected indifferently: "Her boyfriend is a student at the University of South China next door, isn't he?" ”

His tone was calm, but Lu Xiaoping was startled, and looked at him with admiration, his eyes full of admiration: "How do you know?" This thing...... You must keep it a secret, I said it for a while...... If it gets out...... Although she is no longer there, it will not have a good impact on the school......"

It's really a big deal for a student at a women's university to fall in love, and it's terrible if it gets out, so she and the other two friends who know about it have already decided on an offensive and defensive alliance, and they will definitely not reveal Bai Fei's secret - as for what everyone thinks in their hearts, no one knows.

For example, she mentioned Bai Fei's boyfriend to Zhou Erya and Han Yu so easily.

Zhou Erya looked at her with a smile, and the deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything made Lu Xiaoping panic, and she didn't dare to look at him, so she lowered her head.

"Damn it!" Han Yu frowned, high-fived and said, "If that's the case, there is a possibility that the entire direction of the investigation will be offset!" ”

They had always felt that the case was confined to the women's university, and in any case, the facts and the relationship between the characters were relatively simple.

But if Bai Fei has a close-knit boyfriend, it will involve the possibility of love killing.

-- Many of the cases of young men and women are related to feelings.

Just like the case they solved before, it was either a victim of feelings or a conflict of interests.

"Bai Fei not only has a boyfriend, but her boyfriend has met her a lot of times, right?" Zhou Erya continued unhurriedly.

Lu Xiaoping was surprised, she glanced at Zhou Erya with some fear, this time she opened her mouth a lot more cautiously, as if she replied with a hint of reluctance: "How do you know?" They...... It seems that they are often dating, Bai Fei often mentions this matter, and she does not avoid us. ”

"Who told you that?" Lu Xiaoping couldn't help but gossip and asked.

thought that someone had revealed the news to Zhou Erya, otherwise, how could he know so clearly?

Han Yu was also puzzled and surprised, and asked Zhou Erya in a low voice: "Didn't you go to the studio just now?" Could it be that I found an excuse to investigate somewhere else? ”

Or was it Murong who said it to him?

But Murong is not a gossipy girl like Lu Xiaoping, and if it is really related to the case, she may also tell Zhou Erya as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is very likely that Murong didn't know about this.

"No, it's just obvious, and a little speculation will lead to conclusions." Zhou Erya shook his head and looked at Han Yu with a hint of a smile, although his eyes were very gentle, but it was like looking at a cute little fool, which made Han Yu very unhappy.

Every time his IQ was crushed by him, Han Yu was mad.

"Where did you guess?" Han Yu asked depressedly, feeling that he really looked like a fool.

"Didn't you notice the clothes of the deceased?" Zhou Erya reminded him.

"Yes, I saw it on the record backup of the patrol room, but what can I see ......" Han Yu thought of the details in that record, and suddenly realized, just now he thought that the deceased's family was very good, but Lu Xiaoping said that her family was ordinary, that is what her boyfriend bought for her?

Zhou Erya seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued for him: "My boyfriend's family is good, and I am afraid it took a lot of thought to catch up with the big star of the girls' school." Moreover, among the relics of the deceased is a commemorative badge of the University of South China, which was issued to the representatives of outstanding students by the University of South China last week, and the total number is only twelve. If it weren't for boyfriend and girlfriend, if it wasn't for the frequent meeting, I don't think this badge would have fallen into Bai Fei's hands. ”

And this thing?

Han Yu tried to think about it, but he was really not so impressed.

He remembered that there was indeed a round metal badge in Bai Fei's belongings list, but he didn't say that it was from the University of South China, and compared with those valuable jewelry, it was really not eye-catching......

"Why don't I remember that the list says Nanhua?"

Han Yu took the small notebook, flipped to the previous record, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Erya.

Zhou Erya raised her eyebrows and replied calmly: "Lion, double swords and ten stars, of course this is the badge of the University of South China, with the school motto of virtue and benevolence, it can only be made just this year, then there is only this batch of medals for top students." ”

The school motto of "Virtue and Benevolence" was just changed by Nanhua this year, and after the change, this batch of honor student badges was issued.

Han Yu saw his record, he had the characteristics of writing down this badge, but he just thought it was a badge of a women's university, so he didn't care.

"Obviously, Bai Fei's boyfriend handed over this badge to Bai Fei as a sign of love, and Bai Fei also cherished it on his body, which is the proof of the leakage of the relationship." Zhou Erya said lightly to Lu Xiaoping, who was surprised and couldn't close her mouth, "With such a badge, the scope of her boyfriend has also narrowed down a lot, even if you don't say it, it is easy to find." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You've long since found out? ”

Han Yu was very frustrated, feeling that all the bones he had been crushed were broken.

He asked hard for a long time, but the information he got was not as much as Zhou Erya's glance, and this gap was always desperate.

- No wonder he went to work as a model at his leisure.

Zhou Erya smiled at him: "Hmm." ”

"The first time you saw the record?" Han Yu asked unrelentingly.

Although Murong looked weak, he was still very assertive and thoughtful, and he had already copied a copy of the record of the patrol room, even more detailed than their records, and handed the record to Zhou Erya and Han Yu in the car they came.

Zhou Erya found this strange place at the first glance in the car, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing Zhou Erya nodding, Han Yu sighed and asked helplessly, "Who is Bai Fei's boyfriend, do you already know?" Can you tell me now? ”

He hesitated, not knowing whether to ask Lu Xiaoping or Zhou Erya faster.

Zhou Erya smiled: "Of course I don't know this, but I said it, the scope has been narrowed down so much, you can know who it is at a glance." ”

He's just a detective, not an omniscient god.

Although most of the time, he looks no different from a god.

When Lu Xiaoping heard him say this, she looked very hesitant, admiring and worshiping Zhou Erya.

"You have to promise that you will never divulge secrets...... I really don't want to be swept up in it......"

She was a little entangled, and she wanted to tell the secret, and she felt that it was not good, but seeing Zhou Erya's accurate speculation, she felt that there was nothing to hide.

I just don't want other students to know that she said so much.

Han Yu didn't guess the girl's thoughts, thinking that she was scared, so she hurriedly comforted her: "You didn't say it before, it was to protect Bai Fei's reputation, but now she has encountered an accident, we need more information to find out the truth, can you tell us his name now?" ”

This is a matter of course, but for this group of girls who are in love more than the sky, they may feel that it is an ulterior secret.

Han Yu thought that if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be difficult for others, and it would be a big deal to go to the University of South China and take a walk, anyway, to investigate that boy......

Who knew that Lu Xiaoping's expression was very helpless, but she still quietly confided the boy's name: "His name is Sun Wenli." ”

After saying that, her face flushed, and it seemed that she still felt that she had betrayed her oath.

"Okay, let's go find Sun Wenli!" Han Yu wrote down the name and immediately stood up.

He felt the need to ask the young college student named Sun Wenli immediately, but Zhou Erya slowly suggested that he finish asking the female students here first.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the people in the troupe first." Zhou Erya is not as impulsive and eager as Han Yu, and she is always very calm.

At this point, do you think about the basic process of handling a case?

Han Yu complained in his heart, but he also knew that he was impulsive just now, and now he went out, and when he came in again, he had to say hello to the school, which was really troublesome.

And I don't know if it's a love killing, I should ask everyone present at the time, maybe I will find some new clues.

"Then let's go find Lian Jiumei and Han Wenniang." Han Yu was also as good as a stream, put away the small book and said.

Zhou Erya agreed with his words with practical actions.

He got up and walked out, with Han Yu and Lu Xiaoping following behind.

After Lu Xiaoping walked out of the door, she found Murong standing not far from the corridor, her face was a little flustered and crimson, I don't know if she heard what she said, she stood in place very embarrassed and said, "That...... I've got another class, goodbye. ”

When Lu Xiaoping walked past Murong, she smiled embarrassedly at her and asked quietly, "Have you been outside?" ”

Murong asked with a calm face: "I just came, what's wrong?" ”

Han Yu was shocked, she didn't expect that a good girl like Murong would not change her face when she lied, and her acting skills were really good.

Lu Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "It's nothing, you take them to find the ninth sister, I'll go to class first." ”

After saying that, she ran away.

Han Yu walked up to Murong and gave her a thumbs up with great emotion, not knowing whether to praise or complain: "It turns out that you can also deceive people." ”

Because Murong has a simple, bookish and aura face, seeing her will make people think of very beautiful, pure and simple things, how can I never imagine that she will lie without changing her face.

"Just a white lie." Murong smiled slightly, not feeling anything.

"Then you," Zhou Erya looked at her, and said as if inadvertently, "will you tell us white lies?" ”

Han Yu felt that this sentence was very rude, and he was afraid that Murong would be angry.

"I'll only say what I need to say."

Murong didn't seem to mind what Zhou Erya had in his words - of course, it could also be because his acting skills were too good for Han Yu to see.

"But for the case, it's the most important thing to say that shouldn't be said." Zhou Erya walked side by side with her, her tone soft, but there was a sense of aggressiveness.

"If you doubt me, you're very wrong." Murong looked at the road ahead without squinting, and told gently but forcefully.

"You're too careful, I didn't doubt you." Zhou Erya laughed, as if she thought she was funny, "I just think you should talk to me more." ”

"I just asked you to solve the case, except for the case, there is nothing to talk about." Murong's tone finally had a hint of impatience.

"You're too careful, I'm just asking you to talk to me more about the case." Zhou Erya seemed to be deliberately making her angry, and there was a hint of evil taste in her smile, "Do you want to talk to me about something else?" ”

Han Yu, who was walking behind, held his forehead, he really didn't know how to speak, and he always felt that Zhou Erya wanted to provoke the seemingly good-tempered Murong to anger.

Murong took a deep breath, suddenly stopped, looked at Zhou Erya, and had a faint patience on his upright and delicate face: "You wait." ”

Han Yu thought she was angry, so she hurried up to think about the round, but Murong said again: "I'll go and call Ninth Sister and Wen Niang over." ”

It turned out that the front was a classroom, and this point was class time, and she didn't want the two men to disturb the teacher and students, so she asked Zhou Erya and Han Yu to stand here and wait.
