Ma Yibing poured bitter water along with these words: "Do you know how Zhang Shanmei was hanged? Oh, the girl who died Zhang Shanmei is very famous in our school, competitive, likes to be in the limelight, debuted early to participate in some TV series, and was a small supporting role, many girls don't like her. ”

Li Ruolan snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Oh, oh, get down to business." Ma Yibing came back to his senses.

"This is the office of the demolition and relocation office." Chen Xiaoqiu reminded.

Ma Yibing was at a loss.

"Alright, it's time to get off work, let's find a place to eat and talk." I saw that Ma Yibing was really distressed, I didn't see him for a weekend, he lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks were sunken, a handsome guy tossed like this, and I also sympathized.

Ma Yibing said that he wanted to have a treat, how could a group of us adults be embarrassed? Li Ruolan didn't have that pressure, and she was a little arrogant, and it could be seen that she still remembered Ma Yibing's revenge of "knowing and not revenge".

The fat man played a round and chose a cheap fast food restaurant.

Ma Yibing smiled gratefully.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The thin man was holding the vegetables and had a bad breath, but he still built a step for Ma Yibing.

"The rope that hanged Zhang Shanmei belonged to our drama club." Ma Yibing's face was painful, his chopsticks poked at the rice grains, and he was not in the mood to eat.

"It's your drama club again?" The thin man complained.

Ma Yibing drooped his head, "It's a prop for our drama club." Another drama of our drama club set in the 18th century war in Europa, there is a hanging, and this prop is used. ”

Guo Yujie was incredulous, "What are you doing in your drama club?" ”

"The play is very good, it is about the social issues of the time. That noose prop is actually a slipknot, and if it is really used to hang itself, people will definitely fall off. There were other security measures in place for that scene. Ma Yibing gestured at his waist, "A safety rope will be tied here, and when the person falls, the safety rope will be suspended, and the noose around the neck will not be difficult." Like "Big Family", after acting for so long, there were no accidents in that scene. ”

"The murderer used the rope of your drama club, but re-tied the dead knot?" The thin man asked.

"That's right."

"Is the school going to hold you accountable for your unfavorable custody?" Fat man guessed.

In this case, the drama club is really wronged. It's just a rope, so you don't necessarily have to lock the inside of the safe, right? Besides, the murderer doesn't need the rope of the drama club, and he can find other ropes to kill Zhang Shanmei. If there is an accident during the rehearsal of the drama and a student hangs himself, it can be said that it is the responsibility of the drama club, and it is unreasonable to be held accountable for this situation.

The school is not as unreasonable as we think.

Ma Yibing shook his head, "It's not that the school is responsible, it's that I'm afraid." ”

"Afraid of what?" The thin man was amused, "That rope is already a murder weapon, right?" Can the police give you back to the drama club? ”

Ma Yibing's face turned pale.

Li Ruolan asked, "The police won't return it?" ”

All five of us adults were stunned.

"The police have already returned the rope to you?" I asked incredulously, "This case has just been solved, and the verdict has not yet been heard, right?" ”

Ma Yibing and Li Ruolan were a little flustered.

"In the morning, a policeman came and returned the rope to our drama club. I also asked, and he said that if you take pictures and keep evidence, you don't need this. Ma Yibing explained.

"Are you sure you're seeing the police? Do you have to show your ID? I pressed on.

"It's the police, even the police who came yesterday, and they also showed their IDs." Ma Yibing became nervous, "I was scared when I received this thing!" I'd like you to get rid of that rope too. ”

This is so counterintuitive.

"Okay, let's eat first, and I'll take you to the school after eating." I decided.

We quickly filled our stomachs and went to drama school together.

The atmosphere in the academy was still a bit oppressive and intimidating, and there weren't many of the smiling faces I saw when I came here last week.

When we arrived at the drama club, Ma Yibing opened a cabinet and showed us the hemp rope.

The hemp rope was placed in the police evidence bag and had no special smell.

I opened the bag, looked at it carefully, made sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, and shook my head at the others.

Chen Xiaoqiu contacted her uncle on the way here and asked him to inquire about the news, and received a call at this time.

"Went through the normal process and returned the physical evidence to the owner." Chen Xiaoqiu glanced at Ma Yibing, "However, this kind of thing is generally not deliberately returned." ”

It's not a valuable treasure, and if no one comes to apply for it, this rope should be stored in a special place with other physical evidence and destroyed regularly, instead of being returned to the drama club before the case is decided.

"I don't really feel anything." I sighed and put the hemp rope back in the bag, "Well, I'll take it to Aoba and have a look." ”

Ma Yibing nodded like pounding garlic.

We hurried to the Drama Academy, and after not staying long, we went to the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants without stopping.

Li Ruolan came for the first time and asked east and west.

I told them to wait and go to the office and ask for it.

The office was still the same, I put the hemp rope on the coffee table, and recounted the whole thing, but I didn't get a reaction from Aoba, so I had to go downstairs.

"How?" Ma Yibing waited anxiously.

"Nope. Probably nothing. Don't think about it. I comforted Ma Yibing.

Ma Yibing was skeptical, but there was no better way, so he had to accept this reality with trepidation.

"Then, Brother Qi, this thing ......" Ma Yibing snorted and pointed to the hemp rope.

"Alright, leave it on my side."

Ma Yibing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't rush to destroy it yet." Chen Xiaoqiu reminded.

Before the case is closed, the most important murder weapon has been returned, which is somewhat strange.

I nodded in agreement, turned around and went back to Aoba to leave the rope in the office. I comforted Ma Yibing that there was no problem with this thing, but I didn't dare to keep it by my side, and it was most reassuring to put it in the office.

It took a long time, it was too late to get home, and I was interrogated by my parents and sister for a long time. They thought I had a girlfriend the last few night outs, and they didn't know I was hunting ghosts. I sighed in my heart, coped with my family, and fell asleep.

I didn't sleep well that night, and I dreamed several times of Zhang Shanmei falling from above the stage. I sat in the back row of the theater in reality, and I didn't see Zhang Shanmei's appearance clearly, but in my dream, I could clearly see Zhang Shanmei's face, frightened and hideous, opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue. In the short gap between falling from the stage stand to the tightening of the hemp rope, I saw her open mouth to say something, but I couldn't hear or make out the lip language, and several times I tried, only to be interrupted by the sound of her neck being broken.

As the sky dawned, I felt a glimmer of morning light shining on my eyelids. It was as if the light was shining into my brain, projecting into a dream.

The spotlight lit up on the stage, and Zhang Shanmei suddenly appeared in the light, and after falling, the rope was tightened, and her body bounced and swayed. I have to say, this has a feeling of being done in one go. The sound of "Kara" when the cervical vertebra was pulled off has also become a delicate embellishment.

"Perfect."

In my dream, I heard a man's low laughter, which did not belong to me, not to the people sitting around me at that time, extremely strange.

I woke up suddenly.
