Qin Xiao nodded, and then asked, "Has James's body been found?" ”

"There was a luminol reaction on the path leading to the West Courtyard."

"Then focus on the West Courtyard."

Yi Weilan nodded and wrote down, and then said, "It is certain that the scene of Ethan's death is the scene of the crime." ”

"Let's take a look."

Qin Xiao led people to the Xiyuan dormitory building.

As soon as he left a teaching building in the north, Qin Xiao's footsteps paused slightly. Just now he seemed to see a familiar figure. I looked again, but I didn't see anything.

Xia Ruchu stood behind the crowd, looking at Qin Xiao who walked over and raised his eyes slightly.

—

Ethan was stabbed in the heart and died.

Ethan was knifed behind his back with a pattern, a pentagram.

The pentagram represents betrayal in the Follen culture.

Both deaths seem to be related to betrayal, and now James' body needs to be found, and if James' body also has a sign of betrayal, then it is certain that all three students died at the hands of the same group.

Who did they betray to the point of being brutally killed?

"Where's the student representatives in Flen?"

Lucas was brought over by a police officer, who looked pale and didn't look very good.

"Is there anything unusual about these three students?"

Lucas shook his head, his eyes a little evasive, "I don't usually have much contact with the three of them, so I don't know much about them. ”

Qin Xiao glanced at him thoughtfully, and then said, "Whoever is closer to them usually, bring him over." ”

After a while, Lucas came over with a tall, thin boy, "This is Logan, he and Avery usually walk the closest together. ”

Qin Xiao glanced at Logan and asked, "What's unusual about Avery in the last few days?" ”

While Qin Xiao was interrogating and questioning, Yi Weilan also made some progress.

"Team Qin! James' body is in the lake in the West Courtyard, and it has now been recovered! ”

After asking, Qin Xiao immediately rushed to the lake. The students who were close to Avery were a few of them who hadn't been out of the ordinary lately, but one student had revealed something to him.

Lucas says that he and Avery don't know each other, but one student says that Avery is Lucas's crazy suitor and that Lucas can't have much contact with her. I heard that the day before the incident, Avery had gone to Lucas's bedroom to bring him a bouquet of flowers.

James' body was placed on a mat, and the body had been pale and swollen after soaking all night, making it very difficult to extract the killer's DNA.

Yi Weilan checked it and said to Qin Xiao: "The time of death was around three o'clock in the morning last night, and the dagger stabbed him in the heart, killing him with one blow. Next to James's corpse was also found a Flem-style 531 short knife, on which James' fingerprints could be extracted. ”

Qin Xiao thought slightly, "Either this knife was stuffed into James' hand by the murderer, but he carefully did not leave his fingerprints, or this knife is James's own." But what would a college student do in the middle of the night with a knife?

Qin Xiao and Yi Weilan glanced at each other, "Does James have the mark of a traitor?" ”

Yi Weilan shook his head, "There are no signs of betrayers near the crime scene. ”

Qin Xiao touched his chin, "Isn't it the same person who killed James, Avery, and Ethan?" Zooming out for the luminol reaction, James must have been killed and thrown into the lake. We need to find the path of the first crime scene and the murderer. James was stabbed in the heart, and there must have been a lot of blood flow. ”
