After that, the comrades went to find Lao Zhangtou.

On the way, everyone met Director Lu and Zhao Datong, Da Youdao was very stubborn, he didn't bother Lao Zhangtou, and went straight home to change clothes.

"When-when-dang-" The bell rang from inside the campus.

Liu Dayu looked at his watch, and the time was seven fifty. Lao Zhangtou rang the bell for the first lesson.

When everyone walked to the school gate, they saw three students, two men and one woman, walking on the path outside the west wall of the school. The three students were about 10 years old. They hurried past everyone and entered the small door next to the gate.

Liu Dayu took a few steps and chased after him: "Three classmates, please wait a minute." ”

The three children probably didn't hear Liu Dayu shouting at them, and continued to walk their way.

"Peng Jiahui, stop me, I didn't hear the police uncle shouting to you!"

The three children immediately stopped.

Liu Dayu walked up to the three children: "Do you usually take the road west of the school to and from school?" ”

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, one of the boys said, "Yes! The three of us live in the village just behind the school. ”

"Can you tell us how many students in the school are following this path?"

"There are more than two dozen of them!"

"Who arrives early in the morning?"

"The three of us usually come late, and who comes early, this - you have to ask Daddy Zhang - he knows best."

"Please come in, Director Lu, comrades go and sit down in the room, and we will talk slowly." Lao Zhangtou let the comrades into the communication room.

Lao Zhangtou provided five students to the comrades, these five students usually enter the school gate before 7:45, and the other students generally enter the school gate at about 7:55, judging by the time when the murderer left the scene, it is possible that these five children met the murderer on the way to school.

Readers may think that it is not a quarter of an hour early. This is not a "early" word, you are wrong, what is Guli Village? Most of them live near the school, and people can hear the school bell at home, and walk from home to school, at most, a few minutes, so they only need to walk into the school gate two or three minutes before the official class bell rings.

The five students are Huo Yaya, 12 years old (5th grade), a member of the study committee; Gu Xiaoming, a labor commissioner, 12 years old (Huo Yaya's classmate, the two are neighbors, and they go to and from school like a shadow); Rong Xiangrong, girl, deputy class leader, eleven years old (fourth grade); Rong Changhui, girl, 10 years old (third grade, and Rong Xiangrong are cousins, the two of them are next to each other, and they usually go to school and go together); Liu Yuanpeng, class leader, thirteen years old (sixth grade).

Judging from the above situation, the reason why the five of them arrived at school a little earlier was mainly because they wanted to do something for the class.

So, Lao Zhangtou called the five students to the communication room—and Principal Xu entered the communication room at the same time.

Liu Dayu talked with the five children for more than 40 minutes, but found nothing, on the morning of the 17th, they did not see a single adult on the road, because of Huo Yaya's words, the comrades went to the west of the school wall to conduct field observations.
