Chapter 63: Inquiry
Hearing this voice, I raised my head suddenly, and looked at it, it was Officer Hu, and my previous worries suddenly disappeared, and I felt a burst of joy in my heart, it was Officer Hu's words that would be easy to handle, but I still asked very suspiciously
"Officer Hu, why are you here? You're not in charge of this district, are you? ”
Officer Hu strode towards us, looked at us with disgust and said
"The police officer in charge of this district is on a business trip, so I'll take care of it for the time being, but are you Conan? Wherever you go, the dead! ”
Although Officer Hu's tone was very dissatisfied, I could feel that he was very happy to see us.
Jiang Junqian asked in surprise
"What? Do you know this officer? ”
Su Yong nodded and said
"Well, the cases that happened in our school before were all in charge of this police officer Hu, and he has cooperated with us many times."
Jiang Junqian nodded, and didn't say anything more, Officer Hu ordered his subordinates to quickly cordon off the scene, investigate the clues, and then ask me directly
"Hey, Xiao Song, what's going on this time?"
"We—" Before I could finish speaking, the inspector reported
"Officer Hu, there are traces of the door being knocked open!"
"Is it to break into the door and kill someone?"
Hearing Officer Hu say this, several of us lowered our heads in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain, this could not escape Officer Hu's eyes, Officer Hu asked
"What's going on?"
I explained in embarrassment
"The door was originally locked, but a few of us forced it open..."
As soon as I finished speaking, Officer Hu pushed me hard and scolded
"Are you sick? It's not the first time you've encountered this, what a nerve! ”
I glanced at Jiang Junqian and explained to Officer Hu
"No, no, it was that Doctor Jiang, who said that maybe Roy, oh, that is, the deceased may still have a glimmer of life, so we broke into the door, we want to save people."
Officer Hu followed my words, looked at Jiang Junqian, leaned closer to me, and asked in a low voice
"Hey, he's a man or a woman?"
I understand why Officer Hu has such doubts, and said close to Officer Hu's ear
"Male, male."
Officer Hu let out an "oh", perhaps because he was not familiar with Jiang Junqian, he didn't say anything to him, but gave the inspector a look and said
"According to the lock of the door, as for how the door is broken, just write it truthfully."
Officer Hu turned his head and asked me again
"So, is this a murder in a closed room?"
I shook my head and said
"I'm not sure, but there's a key in the room, but I don't know if it's from this room."
When Officer Hu heard this, he hurriedly asked
"Where's the key now?"
"Here I am." Guo Hongyi took the key to Officer Hu, and when Officer Hu saw this, he took the key and scolded
"How can you touch such an important thing without gloves!"
I was afraid that Officer Hu would get angry again, so I hurriedly said
"No, no, no, this key has been stained with our fingerprints before, so..."
Officer Hu was completely speechless, kept panting, handed the key to the inspector, asked him to give it a try, and then turned back to me
"Okay, let's talk about it, have you found anything?"
I recounted last night's events in detail, and after about half an hour, the police report came out:
The time of death was three o'clock in the morning, the cause of death was a fruit knife stabbed into the heart, a total of two knives, the fruit knife was the deceased himself, the body had obvious traces of being moved, the doorman downstairs did not have a spare key, the key in the room was the only key that could open this room, because this key has a unique structure and cannot be copied, and the most puzzling thing is the "K" next to the corpse.
"In this case, it is indeed a murder in a closed room." Hearing me say this, Su Yong swaggered to the other side of the door and carefully examined it.
Guo Hongyi asked curiously
"Brother Yong, what are you doing?"
Su Yong said while checking it
"Ah, I'll see if there's superglue."
It turned out that this guy thought of Du Ruo's case before, I covered my face and didn't say a word, it was obvious that this was different from that case, the murderer didn't use the same method.
Zhang Kexin rolled his eyes and said
"Brother Yong, we slammed the door so hard just now, if it was glued with super glue, the whole door would have been knocked down by us."
Su Yong nodded and said with a sudden realization
"Oh, that makes sense."
Officer Hu looked at us with great suspicion and said with a long sigh
"How many of you... Is it really those people from SY University? Why do you look like a bunch of idiots today? ”
Officer Hu said this, but he still didn't drive us away, told his subordinates to protect the scene, and then led a few of us to the nearest teaching building, found an empty classroom at random, and questioned us. Thinking about it, we can't be investigated at the scene of the crime, and just because we have been in contact with the deceased, we can't be listed as suspects and brought back to the bureau for questioning.
After waiting in the classroom for a while, Qu Lian was also brought over by a police officer, it seemed that the police officer had briefly introduced the situation to her, and the first thing Qu Lian said after coming in was to ask Bai Zhi
"Zhi, is Roy really dead?"
Bai Zhi still nodded with palpitations, and after getting an affirmative answer, Qu Lian didn't show much sadness, only a trace of fear, and sat quietly on the chair in the classroom.
In the end, Xia Nanxing was also brought over by another police officer, and once again faced a few of us, he was still very uncomfortable, and after saying hello to us awkwardly, he sat in a position far away from us.
After everyone was seated, Officer Hu stood in the center of the podium and cleared his throat
"You all already know that there was a murder on campus, and according to our analysis, the murderer should be someone who was very familiar with the deceased, and the investigation results show that he seems to be relatively close to everyone here, so, to put it simply, I want to know where you are at three o'clock in the morning."
Ke Hezi stood up suddenly, and asked Officer Hu very dissatisfied
"What do you mean? Do you suspect that we are murderers? ”
An old fox like Officer Hu has seen a lot of people in all walks of life, and he can see at a glance that Ke Hezi is a pampered rich second generation, but he doesn't care at all, closes the notebook, and looks at Ke Hezi with very sharp eyes
"Now it's just a matter of asking you to cooperate with the investigation, and if you are suspected, I will directly bring you back to the bureau, of course, if you are not willing to cooperate, I can also bring you back now."
Officer Hu's tone was very flat, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, although Ke Hezi was usually arrogant, but he was also with his classmates, or those under his father, who had ever seen a person like Officer Hu, he was suddenly frightened, and some couldn't get off the stage.
Zhang Kexin hurriedly said softly
"Miss Ke, this is just acting in accordance with the rules, not that Officer Hu suspects us, we just need to cooperate well."
Ke Hezi glanced at Zhang Kexin gratefully, went down the steps, didn't say anything more, and sat back in his position.
Officer Hu snorted coldly, reopened the notebook, and let us explain where we were last night in turn, starting with our foursome, Zhang Kexin said
"The four of us returned to the hotel at 12 o'clock last night, and we were in the same room all the time and never left."
After hearing this, Officer Hu raised his head slightly and said with a wicked smile
"Four men, one room? It's exciting. ”
After a few contacts, our relationship with Officer Hu became much closer, and although we were still a little afraid of him in our hearts, the relationship was no longer as rigid as the first time we met, and it was thanks to this blessing that we were able to participate in the investigation of the case almost without any hindrance.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi said
"Yesterday, Xiao Jing and I went back to the dormitory, went to bed directly after washing, and never left, as my roommates can attest."
Wang Jing also nodded again and again, indicating that Bai Zhi was not lying.
Ke Hezi said something similar to Bai Zhi, but his tone and demeanor were very unnatural
"I... I'm similar to Xiao Zhi, I haven't come out since my boyfriend sent me to the dormitory after we finished eating hot pot last night. ”
Ke Hezi bit his lip unnaturally after saying this, it was obviously a manifestation of his weakness after lying, and the details that I could find out, let alone escape the eyes of Officer Hu, Officer Hu asked meaningfully
"Can your roommate prove it too?"
Ke Hezi thought for a few seconds, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Officer Hu knocked on the table a few times to show impatience and asked
"Is that a difficult question to answer?"
Ke Hezi nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind.
It was Xia Nanxing's turn next, his attitude was even more panicked, and he took the initiative to say
"When I went back to my dorm room last night, my roommates had gone out to the Internet café to stay overnight, so no one proved it, but... But I really didn't go out! ”
Officer Hu asked as he took notes
"Why didn't your roommate call you when he went out to stay overnight?"
Xia Nanxing said with a red face
"Because I went back late yesterday, they didn't wait for me."
"Why did you go last night, so late in the dormitory? Did you go to eat hot pot with them? ”
Xia Nanxing was dumbfounded for a while, looking at a few of us, I don't know how to explain last night's events to Officer Hu, Jiang Junqian doesn't care so much, he doesn't care about Xia Nanxing's face at all, and tells Officer Hu what happened last night word for word, at this moment Xia Nanxing is already eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, Officer Hu shook his head helplessly after listening to it and said
"Young people really know how to play, but no one can prove where you are anyway."
Xia Nanxing nodded, but still said a little unwillingly
"However, you can ask the doorman of our dormitory, and if he didn't sleep last night, he might prove that I didn't leave the dormitory."
Officer Hu glared at Xia Nanxing and said angrily
"Do you want to teach how to do things to the police?"
Xia Nanxing hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak more, Officer Hu glanced at Jiang Junqian, who had just spoken, and asked
"What about you?"
"Me?" Jiang Junqian said with some surprise
"Do I need to say that too? I don't know Roy well, but we've met a few times..."
Officer Hu glanced at Wang Jing next to him and said
"That girl is not a member of the roller skating club, didn't you say it, and you are the first discoverer of the case, and you destroyed the scene, no matter what, I will ask you as usual."
Jiang Junqian nodded in understanding
"Well, you're right, I went home alone yesterday after I sent the four of them back to the hotel."
"Home? Aren't you a student here? Officer Hu asked unexpectedly.
"I'm a student here, but I'm in my internship right now, so I don't live on campus."
"Living with friends?"
"No, I'm alone."
Jiang Junqian faced Officer Hu's question, without the slightest hesitation, nor with a weak heart, there was one to say one, two to say, and not to explain anything, which made Officer Hu also a little appreciative, nodded and said
"In other words, no one can prove where you were at the time of the crime?"
In the end, only Qu Lian was left, because she was too introverted, even in the face of police inquiries, Qu Lian didn't say much, and said simply and clearly
"After the roller skating club event yesterday, I didn't go back to my dormitory, I went to live at a friend's house outside the school."
Officer Hu asked alertly
"Can your friend prove that you never left?"
Qu Lian shook her head and said
"No, my friend wasn't home yesterday, I lived alone."
Officer Hu took a few steps closer to Qu Lian and stared straight at her
"On a snowy night, you don't go back to the dormitory, but go to live alone outside the school, can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Qu Lian avoided Officer Hu's gaze and said hesitantly
"I just don't have a good relationship with my roommate, especially when I just had a fight a few days ago, and I'm afraid of embarrassment."
Officer Hu pulled a long voice "Oh~", looked at Qu Lian with a smile, and just when Qu Lian couldn't say a word, a very loud voice came from outside the classroom door
"Are you interrogating my students?"
