Chapter 19: No more playing
Du Ruo's punch was full of force, and my whole body was beaten back 3 or 4 steps, my legs were a little weak, and I sat heavily on the ground.
Seeing him start beating people, Zhang Kexin rushed over with an arrow step, wanting to seek justice for me, but was stopped by Zhu Jian and He Huan, Su Yong and others were afraid that Zhang Kexin would suffer, so they hurriedly ran over, at this time Wu Tong, Ma Dao and two police officers also joined the team of persuasion, the scene became very chaotic, and slowly more and more people gathered around, the place of the crime was not far from the dormitory building of the girls in our college, and many girls also came to see the excitement.
"That's it! Get out of the way! I shouted, and then the two sides stopped moving, I rubbed my face, slowly stood up, and said to Du Ruo in a very apologetic tone
"I'm sorry, I understand your feelings, maybe I should be responsible for her death..."
Seeing me say this, the others were a little relieved, and they didn't stop me, I easily came to Du Ruo's side, Du Ruo looked up at me half-squatting, didn't say a word, just smiled disdainfully, and his eyes seemed to tell me, "What's the use of you talking about this now." ”
"But—" I changed my words, and then used all my strength to punch Du Ruo in the cheek.
"Woo!"
Du Ruo is not tall, and he is very thin, coupled with his half-squatting posture, his center of gravity is unstable, he screamed, and the whole person was beaten by me and flew out.
I shouted angrily
"What are you? How dare you hit me!? ”
Probably no one thought that I would do this, everyone was shocked, Zhu Jian hurriedly ran over to observe Du Ruo's situation, and when he passed by me, he looked at me with a strange look.
Guo Hongyi came to me and asked in a low voice
"You're so heavy, aren't you afraid to beat him to death?"
I shook my hand and said nonchalantly
"Don't worry, I'm left-handed, I just hit with my right hand, and I'll be fine."
Su Yong asked with a little fear
"Then you just apologized to him and pretended? Just to get close to him? ”
"What do you say?"
At this time, Officer Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted
"Have you had enough trouble! In this case, I will arrest you all in a fight. ”
Anyway, my anger has disappeared, so naturally I won't do it again, and the thin Du Ruo, who was punched by me, probably couldn't move if I wanted to.
At this time, Officer Hu's walkie-talkie rang again
"Officer Hu has made a new discovery."
After the police's explanation, another shoe of Yang Zijing was found on the roof of the teaching building next to the basketball court, and the police concluded that this was the first scene of the crime.
When we came to the rooftop, we found that there was a women's shoe in the middle of the roof, which had been coiled up by the police with white coils.
Officer Hu walked up to the officer from the Identification Section and asked
"Are there fingerprints on the guardrail on the roof?"
The officer from the forensic department shook his head and said no, it seemed exactly the same as I thought, this was not a suicide or forced death by me at all, it was completely a homicide.
After receiving the answer from the officer of the Identification Division, Officer Hu turned to us and said
"It's not a suicide, it's a murder!"
"Why? Why do you say that? Zhu Jian hurriedly asked
"First of all, if it was a suicide, Yang Zijing would not throw her shoes so far away from the rooftop, and besides, if she wanted to climb over the guardrail, it would be impossible not to leave fingerprints."
"What do you mean, officer?"
"She was supposed to ask someone to meet her on the rooftop, but the person picked her up, and in the process of struggling, she dropped a shoe, and then the person threw her off the rooftop!"
"Murder again? Does anyone have a grudge against our repertory troupe? Ma Dao scolded angrily.
However, Officer Hu disagreed with this view and said mercilessly
"No, I suspect that the murderer is someone from your repertory troupe, after all, it is so late, and the person who can still call the deceased to such a place must be someone who is very familiar with her, and now I want to question you."
The loss of two friends in one day, and the fact that he was treated as a suspect twice in a row, may be difficult for anyone to accept, but as expected, the remaining members of the repertory troupe were very dissatisfied and refused to be questioned.
But Officer Hu didn't care about this, two people had died in a row, which made him feel a lot of pressure, and then he got the inspection report and simply glanced at it, Officer Hu said
"The estimated time of death was between 8:20 and 9:00 p.m., and the victim's watch stayed at 8:45, and we have reason to believe that the watch was broken at the moment when the victim hit the ground, which is consistent with the estimated time of death, so we judge that the victim died at 8:45, and I ask you now, where are you all around 8:45?"
Unexpectedly, everyone in the repertory troupe said in unison
"Let's watch a TV series together."
Officer Hu and I were equally surprised, Officer Hu asked
"How... How can you be so sure? ”
Zhu said
"The jacaranda is dead, everyone is very sad, we don't know what to do in the hotel, at this time Wu Tong proposed to watch the previous TV series together, everyone is together, the mood can be better, that TV series just started at 8:35, except for Bauhinia, all of us are here."
"No one has left?" Officer Hu asked
"No, we didn't come out together until we received a call saying that something might have happened to Bauhinia."
I hurriedly reminded Officer Hu
"Could it be that the murderer deliberately adjusted the deceased's watch so that we think she died at 8:45, when in fact she may have been killed before 8:35?"
"I think, that's impossible..."He Huan, who rarely speaks, said his thoughts timidly.
The horse guide on the side seemed to be a little dissatisfied and warned
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not a joke to say the wrong thing now."
As soon as he heard this, He Huan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, and kept his head down, but Officer Hu wouldn't let him go and asked
"Whatever you are afraid of, you can say whatever you want, why is it impossible?"
He Huan glanced at Ma Dao and saw that he didn't say much, so he mustered up the courage to say
"Because at about 8:30, I was working on the script in my room, and suddenly I heard a strange sound next door, that is, Du Ruo's room, I put on my pajamas and went to knock on the door to inquire about the situation, Du Ruo came out with a bath towel, at this time..."
"Say, don't babble."
He Huan glanced at Du Ruo and continued
"I asked him what was wrong, and he said it was fine, but a Bauhinia voice came from the room and asked, 'Du Ruo, who is it?' Come back, I can't wait. I heard the voice and walked away with a lot of interest. ”
Zhu Jin was a little excited when he heard this, and hurriedly questioned Du Ruo
"It's so late, you're in the same room with Zijing, and you're still only wearing a bath towel, what are you two doing?"
This question is a bit idiotic, what can a man and a woman do in a room at night, Du Ruo was not embarrassed to answer, He Huan continued
"So at least at 8:30 Bauhinia was still alive, and 5 minutes later, we all got together to watch the TV series again..."
Next, Du Ruo became the main target of the investigation
"Let me ask you, when did Yang Zijing leave?"
After He Huan came and knocked on the door, she left.
"Is there anything unusual about her, or who is she dating?"
"No, I thought she was back in her room."
"Then why don't you call her when you watch TV? Why aren't you surprised that she doesn't come out to watch TV? ”
"Zijing didn't like to watch this kind of TV series in the first place, so we didn't want to call her."
Officer Hu's questions were like cannonballs, constantly smashing at Du Ruo, but Du Ruo answered them one by one in an orderly manner, without any flaws, but the more he was like this, the more strange I felt, he was still so painful just now, how could he be calm like another person now, what secrets is he hiding? Or is it?
Another terrible thought came to my mind, Du Ruo was a very smart person, he guessed that Yang Zijing might be the murderer before all of us, and defended her, could it be that he also guessed the murderer this time? And hide the truth and want to take revenge with your own hands?
"In this case, the murderer should not be a member of the repertory troupe." Yang Yanyan said after Officer Hu's questioning,
Officer Hu glanced at Yang Yanyan and asked inexplicably
"Why do you say that?"
Yang Yanyan explained unhurriedly
"Although our hotel is not far from the entrance of the campus, if you want to come here and walk up to 8 floors, it will take at least 10 minutes to go back and forth, and Zijing is still alive at 8:30, and we gathered together at 8:35 to watch the TV series, and there is no time to commit the crime, no matter how you think about it, Zijing left the hotel at 8:30 and came here, and was killed."
Yang Yanyan's tone is neither humble nor arrogant, and she argues with reason, but I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart, maybe there is still a gap between me and her, and I can't be as close as before, of course, maybe we haven't been intimate in the first place, and she smiled at me just out of politeness.
"Bastard! Again there is not enough fucking time! Officer Hu cursed.
"Officer, please don't go too far, okay? We didn't have time to commit the case at noon today, but you tried to come up with a method, but there was no way to prove it, and now we still don't have time to commit the case, do you want to make up any tricks? I want you to figure it out that it is we who have lost two friends now, and we are the ones who suffer the most! Don't treat us like criminals! Maybe someone is targeting our repertory troupe, but what you should do now is to protect us, not suspect us! ”
Ma Dao finally showed the momentum of a leader, and emotionally attacked Officer Hu continuously, it seems that the experience of this day also made him very painful, and finally broke out.
Although Director Ma's tone is unacceptable, he is indeed arguing with reason, he is right, you can't assume that there is a murderer among them because they are familiar with the deceased, if you continue to make trouble like this, things may not be easy to handle, Officer Hu also understands this truth, and then asked a few words and let them go back.
After they left, Officer Hu walked up to me and asked
"How? What's the perception this time? ”
I don't know when it started, Officer Hu already trusted me very much, and he would take the initiative to ask my opinion, which made me a little flattered, but I didn't speak.
Officer Hu didn't care about it and continued
"I feel that the murderer is very likely to be Du Ruo, after all, He Huan just heard the voice, it must have been Du Ruo who recorded Yang Zijing's voice before, and then played it to He Huan, in fact, Yang Zijing was already dead at that time."
I glanced at Officer Hu and said in an apologetic tone
"I'm sorry, but that shouldn't be possible, according to He Huan, what Yang Zijing said at the time was, 'Du Ruo, who is it?' Come back soon, I can't wait', I feel that it is difficult for him to trick Yang Zijing into saying such ambiguous words and then recording them, if Yang Zijing is directly asked to say such things, Yang Zijing will also be strange. ”
"Could it be a line?" Zhang Kexin hurriedly asked.
Guan Shuang shook his head
"No, Du Ruo, whom she keeps calling, if it's a line, it must be his name in the play, and I haven't heard this line when they are rehearsing."
The more I talked, the more complicated it became, Officer Hu patted me on the shoulder and said
"It's too troublesome, it looks like it's up to you again."
It's a great honor to be recognized and even relied on by the police officer, but I can't be happy, so I forced a smile and said
"I'm sorry, Officer Hu, I won't play anymore... I'm not a detective anymore. ”
Officer Hu was taken aback, frowned and said
"What are you talking about? Play? You think we're playing? We are here to help the deceased get justice, since you have that ability, you should bear that responsibility, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. ”
These words did not touch me in any way now, I just bowed lightly to Officer Hu, thanking him for taking care of me all the time and tolerating my nonsense
"I'm sorry, I'm not Spider-Man, and I don't have any abilities."
With that, I turned and walked towards the dormitory, having already decided that no matter what happened next, I would not interfere again.
