Chapter Ninety-Four: The Canal 10
Acquaintance? An acquaintance pushed her into the water?
The next day, Ling Fei and I arrived at the scene early, and I stood on the shore, my eyes wandering back and forth between the river and the cross-river footbridge, and my mind kept thinking about the question that had plagued me all night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If, as the father of the young man in the crew said, the two men standing on the bridge at that time were next to each other, then the familiarity of these two people increased considerably. When one person falls into the water, the other person disappears, and if someone is not related, they will call for help or call the police, and in fact, no one has reported the situation until now.
I said to Ling Fei, "Ling Fei, let's go to the bridge and have a look." ā
Ling Fei said: "Okay, I have this intention, look at it on the bridge, it may feel different." ā
I said, "yes, it's just two of us, let's go to the bridge and try it, what happened yesterday when the crime happened?" ā
Ling Fei said, "Teacher Su, you won't push me down the river for experiments, right?" ā
I said, "Then it depends on how you behave, and if you don't obey, I'll push you down." ā
Ling Fei said, "Teacher Su, are you learning your mother's speech?" ā
I said, "It seems that your mother is the same as mine." ā
Ling Fei pouted and said, "I will be obedient." ā
We walked to the bridge together, and listened to Hei Yi say that this bridge is convenient for middle school students who go to school from the east to the west, and the width is only more than one meter, and the narrow bridge deck is like a curved noodle on the canal, and this bridge is really simple, but it is said that except for going to school and leaving school, there is no one to go at other times, and the time when the female deceased fell into the water yesterday should belong to the time period when there is no one to go to, and the students are in class, what is this woman doing on this bridge?
We are from the east side of the bridge, the bridge deck is paved with cement, although the slope is relatively large, but the road surface is very smooth, I walked while looking at the river on both sides, the loose iron fence on the side of the bridge is not obstructed by the view, if you look up on the canal boat, of course, the same, you can see the pedestrians on the bridge deck at a glance.
We walked to the top of the bridge, which is where the woman described by the father and son of the crew is located, looking down from this position, it is really quite high, Hei Yi jumped from here yesterday, wow, this kid is really brave.
"Teacher Su, this is the position, right?" Ling Fei asked me.
I replied, "yes, if you jump down from here, there's no way to stop you, if someone else pushes it?" ā
I stretched out my hands and crossed Ling Fei's waist and tried it, Ling Fei instinctively dodged, I said, "What are you hiding?" Am I really pushing you down? ā
"People are afraid." Ling Fei said.
I said, "Don't move, I'll just push it, I won't really push it." ā
Ling Fei stood on the edge of the bridge, holding the bridge railing tightly with both hands, I did an experiment on Ling Fei's waist and asked Ling Fei, "If I exert myself, do you think your center of gravity will tilt outward?" ā
Ling Fei hurriedly said: "Yes, it will be, the railing of this bridge is too low, if I am defenseless, I will definitely go into the water if you push me." ā
I said, "Yes, it's to be defenseless, and if you're on guard, it's not as simple as you think, what does it mean to be defenseless?" It's a situation where two people have to be very familiar. ā
Ling Fei said: "Either you meet a mentally ill person you don't know, and a madman will take advantage of people's unpreparedness." ā
It was two familiar people, one pushed the other into the water, and I had already made such an impression in my mind.
At this time, another boat under the bridge slowly sailed by, on board should be another pair of black father and son, or a family of three, these boats are busy in the canal all the year round, for their own livelihood, this livelihood is actually a small dream.
Yes, in a city as big as ours, every corner carries countless dreams, canal boats, rental houses on the outskirts of the city, tall office buildings, one person has a dream, dreams have no size, only hope and future, if a person doesn't even wake up from a dream, then this person is all lost.
I unconsciously remembered these, raised my eyes to the west end of the bridge, the school in the west was out of school at this time, because I was at the top of the bridge is relatively high, can overlook the school, the school wall inside the students are holding lunch boxes to the cafeteria, jumping in twos and threes, looking very happy, their age, should be the most dreamy age, and those dreams will be colorful and charming.
I looked at my phone, and the time displayed was exactly the time of yesterday's crime, since I can overlook the school here, can I also look up here in the school? If someone had seen us in the school yesterday, would there have been some reflections?
It's better to go to the school to see, there are so many students in the school, the work must be large and wide, if you want to spread out to work, you still need Liu Da to take the investigators to do it, they have a way, you can contact the principal, security, mobilize the students, let them come out and report everything they find, can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, now I go over, it is nothing more than to feel the terrain and see how likely it is to make gains in the school.
Ling Fei and I walked down the bridge, came to the gate of the school, looked at the school's signage, it turned out to be a vocational middle school, I showed my ID to the security guard, explained the reason, the security guard opened the door, let us in, I stood in front of the empty teaching building, looked in the direction of the bridge, sure enough, you can clearly see the whole bridge, except for the low parts at both ends of the bridge are blocked by some branches, especially the top of the bridge, it can be said that it is also unobstructed, if someone happens to look over there, you can see everything that happened.
My heart lit up, and I was about to tell Liu Da that he would go to the school to do work, although it was also a needle in the seabed, but if he knew that there was a needle on the bottom of the sea, the investigators would definitely be desperate.
I went back to the security room and asked the security guard, "Is the school a dormitory?" ā
The security guard replied: "Our school is a small school, you see there are not many buildings in total, all of them are local children, and there are more residents nearby, all of them are day students. ā
I thought of the bridge and asked, "Is there more to the east of the bridge?" ā
The security guard said: "Many, you see that the bridge next to it was applied for by the school to build, and in the past, students from the east had to travel several kilometers to go to school, but after the bridge was repaired, things were in one piece." ā
I suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly asked, "Are there any parents who send these children to school?" ā
The security guard said: "Almost nothing, vocational middle school is equivalent to high school, how can high school students have parents to send it, they all come by themselves." ā
I said, "What about the girls?" ā
The security guard said: "More than half of the girls in the school come by themselves, bicycles, buses, and subways, and most of them are on foot, and almost all of them come on foot to the east of the bridge, and it is inconvenient for bicycles to cross the bridge." ā
A scene flashed in my mind, whether one of the two people yesterday would be a student of this school, a parent and a student, it was quite compatible in this scene, but when I heard the security guard say this, this thought of mine flashed away.
