Chapter 64:-for-tat
The sudden sound startled all of us, and Officer Hu quickly turned to look in the direction of the door, only to see a middle-aged man in a casual suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Officer Hu with a little displeasure.
Officer Hu was a little upset by his shouting just now, and asked angrily
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man walked up to Officer Hu with steady steps, stretched out his right hand and introduced himself
"Hello, my surname is Zeng, and I am the director of discipline for these children."
Officer Hu turned around and shook Director Zeng's hand politely
"Hello, my surname is Hu, you can call me Officer Hu, I think you already know that there is a murder on campus, and I am here to investigate this case."
Director Zeng didn't follow Officer Hu's words and said in a dignified manner
"An international student died in the international student apartment, and you didn't investigate other international students, but investigated the students of our college, what did you do?"
Director Zeng's words were obviously to protect his students, and there was nothing wrong with it, but his tone was full of reproach, and it sounded harsh, how could Officer Hu stand this, and raised his voice and said
"They are the first discoverers of the case, and according to the regulations, I must investigate them!"
Director Zeng did not budge, pointing at Qu Lian and said
"What about the girl you threatened? She's not the first discoverer! ”
"Please be careful with your words!" Officer Hu was already very angry and shouted
"She was one of the few friends of the deceased during her lifetime, so I'm going to investigate her too! And, I'm not threatening her! It's just that she speaks slurred, and I don't want her to influence us to solve the case! ”
"If you want to solve the case, go investigate those international students, don't come and harass my students!"
"Not necessarily! One of your students is pretending to be a fool and scare! ”
The two of them were-for-tat, and their powerful aura scared us so much that we didn't dare to talk much, and then I also looked at Director Zeng more carefully, who should be about 40 years old, well-dressed, very handsome, well-behaved, and full of righteousness in his eyes, which was completely different from our raunchy Secretary Lu.
Looking at the two of them who were tense, Jiang Junqian stood up and dissuaded
"Director Zeng, Officer Hu didn't say that he suspected us, and we have the obligation to cooperate with the investigation, don't be angry, just like you said, there can be no murderer among us, I believe that after the investigation, Officer Hu will definitely not embarrass us."
I secretly admired in my heart, Jiang Junqian's words were really leaky, and he flattered both ends, Director Zeng heard Jiang Junqian say this, and he no longer made it difficult, so he casually found a position and sat down, with a posture of wanting to monitor Officer Hu and prevent him from hurting the students.
Officer Hu also understood, but he didn't take Director Zeng in his eyes, and said to the police officer behind him
"Xiao Li, you call a few more brothers to check if a few of them are lying, be quick."
Xiao Li pressed Officer Hu's ear and asked in a low voice
"The four people who helped us before, do you need to check?"
Officer Hu glanced at the four of us, and in order to avoid suspicion, he only said one word
"Check!"
Xiao Li said yes and ran out, the rest of the people in the room were silent, the room became silent, and I was able to think quietly about the case
"There are two major doubts in the whole case, the only door key is obviously in the room, how did the murderer leave after killing someone? And the K on Roy's right, no matter how you look at it, it's a death message he left behind, but what does it mean? Could it be the King they said earlier? ”
I remembered what they had just said, and for a moment I felt something very unnatural, and I jerked my head to observe their actions, but I couldn't remember where the unnatural place was, and I clung to my hair in annoyance and cursed myself in my heart
"Bastard, why am I so stupid, why am I so late every time, damn it!"
Wang Jing looked at me like this, pulled my hand off and asked
"What are you doing? Don't you have a lot of hair? ”
I looked at Wang Jing directly and asked very seriously
"Wang Jing, tell me, what happened to the King you talked about before?"
Wang Jing was slightly stunned, glanced at Bai Zhi with some embarrassment, and said helplessly
"Why, in this case, you still refuse to say? What the hell is going on? There is a K next to Roy's body, most likely trying to tell us that the killer is King. ”
"It can't be King's..."
Bai Zhi said with a sad face, and I asked impatiently
"Why? Who the hell is King? ”
Bai Zhi said with a long sigh
"He was the head of the roller skating club before, not only with outstanding skills, but also very handsome, and with a good personality, no matter who liked him very much, it is said that Sister Qu Lian joined the roller skating club because she liked him."
It didn't seem to be the same as I had guessed yesterday, I asked again
"But that's not the point, something must have happened, right? That's why you kept your mouth shut about him, didn't you? And where is he now? Why is it impossible for him to be a murderer? ”
"He's dead."
"Dead?" Guo Hongyi asked in surprise, and Guo Hongyi, Zhang Kexin, and Su Yong also joined the discussion.
Bai Zhi nodded heavily and said
"Well, two months ago, we saw a video made by a foreign talent on the Internet, the actions in it are very cool, but very dangerous, I once thought it was a computer stunt synthesis, at first King also thought those actions were too dangerous, but under the agitation of Roy and Xia Nanxing, King still tried to challenge it."
"Did it fail?" Zhang Kexin asked
Bai Zhi sighed and said
"Well, died on the spot, because of this incident, Sister Qu Lian, who was originally just a little introverted, became a little autistic."
I glanced at Qu Lian, who was sitting in the distance, she was still sitting there silently, probably not hearing our discussion.
Guo Hongyi analyzed after listening
"If that K is really the King who didn't finish writing, then Roy wants to express that the murderer is to avenge King, then the murderer is..."
Bai Zhi didn't believe that Qu Lian would be the murderer at all, and hurriedly said
"Can't be so arbitrary, we don't know what that K means, besides, Roy can write Sister Qu Lian's name, why is it so troublesome?"
Jiang Junqian shook his head and said
"Xiao Zhi, don't forget, Roy is a foreigner who is very bad at Chinese, maybe he can't write Qu Lian's name at all, write down a King, for him, it's simpler, and just like Officer Hu said, she has no alibi, and her behavior last night was a little strange."
Bai Zhi said to Jiang Junqian with some anger
"Jun Qian, why don't you even be..."
I chimed in
"Actually... K may have another meaning. ”
Before I could finish speaking, Officer Hu received a call from Xiao Li, and after understanding the situation, Officer Hu put away the phone and told a few of us about the results of the investigation, first looking at the four of us and saying
"Xiao Li's investigation is clear, the four of you have indeed never left the hotel, and there is no time to commit the crime."
Then he said to Bai Zhi and Wang Jing
"Your roommates can also prove that you didn't leave all night, so the suspicion is also ruled out."
Bai Zhi and Wang Jing breathed a long sigh of relief, and Officer Hu said to Xia Nanxing again
"Unfortunately, the doorman in your dormitory slept so hard last night that he wasn't sure if anyone left, so it's not sure if you had an alibi."
After Xia Nanxing heard this, the whole person sat on the chair, his face was like ashes, I think he must regret it very much now, assuming that he was really not the murderer, if he hadn't pretended to be a ghost to scare Bai Zhi yesterday, he would have gone out with his roommate to stay overnight, so that he would not be suspected.
"From this point of view, if the murderer is among us, then it is Xia Nanxing who has the opportunity to commit the crime, Qu Lian, who is the most suspected, and Jiang Junqian." I thought to myself.
"But it's not very important, the important thing is that some of you are lying!" Hearing what Officer Hu said, Director Zeng hurriedly asked
"Who?"
Officer Hu pointed at Ke Hezi and said unceremoniously
"That's you!"
Ke Hezi closed his eyes tightly and sighed helplessly, as helpless as a lying child who had been exposed to a lie.
Zhang Kexin stood up and questioned Officer Hu
"Officer, what do you mean she's lying?"
Officer Hu walked straight up to Ke Hezi and said
"According to one of your roommates, she got up at 2:50 last night and noticed that your bed was empty, and when she came back, she played with her phone for a while, and didn't fall asleep again until about 3:30, but you didn't come back during that time, that is, you weren't in the dormitory from 2:50 to 3:30, in other words, at about 3:30 at the time of the crime, you didn't have an alibi, could you please explain where you were at the time, and what was the purpose of lying?"
Hearing what Officer Hu said, Zhang Kexin's whole person was like a deflated ball, and he looked at Ke Hezi blankly and asked
"Why are you lying?"
Ke Hezi glanced at Zhang Kexin, stood up, and explained to us emotionally
"After the roller skating club activity ended yesterday, I was already sweating, and I ate hot pot in a hot pot restaurant, and my body was full of the smell of oil smoke, and I couldn't sleep at night when I tossed and turned in bed, so I ran out of school alone and took a shower."
After speaking, Ke Hezi looked at Zhang Kexin with tears in his eyes, as if to say
"Please, trust me."
Hearing Ke Hezi say this, Zhang Kexin was a little relieved and said
"Then you just say it directly, what's this, just go to the place where you take a shower and turn on the monitoring, you can prove that you are not lying."
Ke Hezi shook his head and said with a wry smile
"The bathing center I used to go to was closed yesterday, I looked outside for a long time, and then I felt that it was too late, and I couldn't get a taxi, and I was a little scared when I walked on the road alone, so I ran back to school, so..."
"Who would believe such a ridiculous statement?" Officer Hu refused to believe Ke Hezi's words at all.
Ke Hezi said excitedly
"It's because I know you don't believe it, so I lied, but I didn't expect it... I didn't expect that..."
Director Zeng came to Officer Hu's side, his tone was not as fierce as before, and he even said with some sincerity
"Officer Hu, although I have heard that Ke Hezi is a bit willful before, I never believe that she will kill people."
Bai Zhi also hurriedly defended Ke Hezi
"Yes, and everyone knows that Sister Hezi has a habit of cleanliness, and she has to take a bath every day..."
Officer Hu also felt that his previous tone was a little too heavy, shrugged his shoulders, and made a concession and said
"I just said that she didn't have an alibi, and I didn't say that she was suspicious, why are you so nervous, okay, it's almost time to ask, I'm going to go back to the scene of the crime now to investigate, see if there are any clues, and then ask the person next door, if you notice anything unusual."
Before walking out of the classroom, Officer Hu gave an order
"Don't say anything to anyone about the case, so as not to cause panic, and don't walk around, I may have something to ask you."
A few of us nodded and agreed, and Officer Hu told us that we couldn't walk around, in fact, it was house arrest in disguise, that is, in his opinion, the murderer was still among us, but he was already very face-saving and did not directly send someone to monitor us.
After Officer Hu left, Ke Hezi hurriedly said a few thanks to Zhang Kexin, Bai Zhi, and Secretary Zeng, and Bai Zhi cheered Ke Hezi up
"Sister Hezi, no thanks, because we all believe that you are not the murderer."
"Not really." I said quietly.
My remark of pouring cold water on me aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the people present, and Zhang Kexin first challenged me
"Yang'er, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Kexin's tone was full of reproach, which sounded a little harsh, but it was expected by me, and I was sure that he had been fascinated by Ke Hezi and could not think normally.
