A few people nodded, "yes, is that really someone deliberately using Sophie to create a murder and confuse the public?" ”

"But what's the matter with the woman in red you saw?" Sherlock still didn't understand.

"It's true that there are ghosts, but it's not necessarily true that ghosts kill people." I calmly bit into the fried noodles.

Zhou Yang Huizi suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Mo'er, you asked me to help you find it before, about the woman in red, I asked my dad to check all the files of Xida in the police station over the years, and it will probably be delivered in the afternoon." ”

"The woman in red? Didn't it prove that it was Sophie? Why do you need to check? Wen Yu was incomprehensible.

I bit off the noodles, "Well, so I don't need it anymore, thank you, Keiko, for your hard work." ”

"Well, that's okay." Zhou Yang Huizi smiled, "You also helped me a lot." But my dad also found out the file of Sophie's case three years ago, as well as the three girls who died in that year and a half, do you want to take a look at it together? ”

"Yes!" Wen Yurou immediately shouted, "I don't have classes in the afternoon, I can help you take a look." ”

"I'll go down to a class, and I can go and see it after class." Geng Jie also nodded.

"Well, I can too." Sherlock replied.

I finished the noodles at the bottom of the bowl, "I have a lot of classes in the afternoon, and I have some questions to ask the professor, so I don't have time, good luck to you." ”

It's not that I don't want to investigate, but there are really more important things, I got up and patted Sherlock on the shoulder, "Since you have decided to manage it to the end, don't leave a trace of cowardice, and if you decide to be a detective, you can't give up halfway, as a detective, it is your instinct to find the truth, even if the result of the truth is difficult to accept, you must see the bottom with the mentality of an ordinary person, otherwise, it will be farther and farther away from your original intention, you just need to remember that you are just a detective, and this is enough." ”

I actually didn't have classes in the afternoon, and there were few classes in metaphysics, so I had to talk to the professor in the afternoon.

The professor's office is also his laboratory, that is, his dormitory, I knocked on the door twice, no one answered, I pushed the door myself and went in, but I was still startled when I went in, and I was frightened by a carved dragon on the wall when I entered the door, and the layout of the real room was also related to the dragon, the shelves were full of history books about the real dragon, and there were many old newspapers from the last century, some pictures of dragons downloaded from the Internet, and many lizard specimens locked in glass jars, specimens of marine life, the most amazing, It is a fossilized keel made of bones on the table.

"Who?" Someone shouted from upstairs, and I was startled, and when I looked up, it was the professor. The professor was relieved to see me, "It's you." Come on. ”

I walked up the stairs, and there was the professor's bedroom, and there were dragons everywhere, "Professor, you really like dragons." ”

"Hmm," the professor replied, studying something on the nearby lab table.

I paused and got straight to the point, "The backbone you used to work at the pawnshop last time was with a keel." ”

The professor slammed his work, stopped his work, and then continued to study those things, and I continued: "Look at the decoration in your room, Professor, it is also related to dragons, and the professor seems to like dragons very much, so why should you take a real dragon bone?" Are you short of money? A thousand bucks? ”

"It's not a matter of a thousand dollars, it's an ominous keel with the resentment of the dragon god attached to it." The professor sighed, left the study, and poured me a drink, "I specialize in dragons, I have been very fond of dragons since I was a child, and when I was a child, I listened to the old people in my family talk about real dragons, and I yearn for it, and now many people, even many people in the metaphysical school, say that dragons do not exist, or that dragons no longer exist, but I know that dragons really exist." ”

"Oh?" I looked at the professor with my drink glass in my hand.

"Because I've seen it!" The professor let out a long breath and gave his reasons.

"Poof——! I couldn't help but squirt. "What!?" You can't really be guessed, right, "Professor, you can't be, slay the dragon, right?" ”

The professor wiped the drink on his face, and didn't care, "How can it be a dragon slay, the dragon is sacred, and that dragon died by itself." ”

"Dead yourself?" I blinked in confusion.

The old professor paused, then sighed and said slowly, "My hometown is in Yingkou. ”

I immediately shuddered, remembering the report I had read before, "Yingkou Falling Dragon Incident." ”

"Yes," the old professor nodded.

I calculated the time, "That's not right, the Yingkou dragon falling incident was in 1934, which is earlier than the war." Professor, how old are you? ”

"Yingkou fell into the dragon, there are two times." The old professor sighed, "The second time, I was only five years old. It's just that no one knew about it that time, and the people in the village didn't spread it. ”

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Twice, that is, two dragons fell to you before and after?" The first one, I remember, was taken away and then lost during the war, what about the second? ”

"At that time, in order to protect the dragon, our whole village was dispatched, and I directly watched the whole village day and night during that time, for fear that something would happen to the dragon," the professor let out a long breath, "but in the end, the big dragon did not save its life, it is said that it was injured at that time, and the blood kept flowing out like a river, no matter how it was bandaged, it was useless." ”

"The dragon at that time, was it injured?" I frowned, how can dragons be said to be more powerful creatures in the legends, how can they be injured? Even if it's a baby dragon. It's not so easy to get hurt, not to mention that the dragon doesn't like to fight, so how can he get hurt.

"Yes, it's injured," the professor nodded, "After the dragon ran out of gas, it turned into white bones overnight, and the village chief told us all to keep quiet, and let a few young and strong people in the village carry the keel to the back mountain and bury it, I was young and curious at that time, so I secretly hid a keel to collect, and when I grew up, the people around me didn't believe what I said, so I became interested in dragons as a creature, and began to study dragons after graduating from university, and I firmly believe in their existence." But there is also a constant search for their traces. ”

When I finished listening, I reached out and put the cup back on the table, got up and was about to leave, but the professor looked at me and was about to stop me, but I stopped first, "Professor, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this." ”

I heard the professor let out a long sigh of relief, then smiled and turned away.

There was no class in the afternoon, and when I found Wen Yurou and them, they were reading the files in the library, and a group of people gathered around a desk, whispering, the library was quiet, and they didn't dare to be too loud.

I walked over and heard Geng Jie ask, "Haven't you thought about the reason?" ”

Wen Yurou also seemed to understand something, and lowered her head to think, "Why? Suddenly, Wen Yurou raised his head and looked at Zhou Yang Huizi and Sherlock, "Hey, did you say why you committed suicide?" And those who died later, why did they die? Aside from the fact that they all died in the dormitory, what else did they have in common? ”

As soon as Geng Jie and Wen Yurou said this, the others also noticed that something was wrong, I slowly detoured to the other side, glanced at the photos on the table, and then sat down next to Wen Yurou, "Still talking about the case." ”

"Well, Mo'er, you're back," Wen Yurou looked up at me and pouted, "yes, I didn't find anything, I'm sad to death." ”

"Uh...... That Sophie seems to be because of depression, and the others, I think it's also because of various mental illnesses, but except that they all died in the dormitory, it's no different, and they don't know each other, oh, by the way, I remember that it seems that the fingerprints of the deceased were found at the scene of the second crime. Zhou Yang Huizi thought for a while and replied,

"This shouldn't be any evidence," Wen Yurou tugged at the corners of her mouth.

I seemed to understand something, and helped Zhou Yang Keiko answer, "No, Keiko said, the deceased here does not refer to the deceased at the second crime scene, but refers to, Sophie." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yang Huizi's face turned a little pale, and he nodded violently, "It's Sophie's fingerprints, although Sophie's body has been cremated, but the fingerprints stored in the fingerprint library are exactly the same." Everyone in the police station was surprised. ”

As soon as these words came out, the other people's faces turned pale, "Is it really a ghost?" Sophie's ghost lingers? Wen Yurou squeezed my hand. It hurts me to hold it.

"That's not right." Geng Jie and Sherlock shouted together, and then the two of them looked at each other and smiled lightly.

"It is impossible for ghosts to leave fingerprints at the scene of the crime, ghosts are shadows, they can't be seen, they can't be touched." Sherlock said, "At that time, the body was highly decomposed, so it is not certain that the deceased was Sophie, I think it must be that the murderer killed someone in the dormitory as Sophie, the real Sophie is avenging the dead friend, those four girls must have nothing to do with the deceased, now it is important to determine the true identity of the deceased three years ago, Keiko, please go and take all the case files of that year?" By the way, all the evidence extracted from the scene of the crime today is also brought, Wen Yurou, you go to the database to retrieve the list of missing and dead people who graduated from graduation three years ago and the death list of these three. Sherlock assigned.

Geng Jie hugged her arms, looked around, and didn't wait for Sherlock to say anything, she spoke, "I'll go to the students who were at the scene at the time of the crime and the students and teachers at the time of the previous crimes to ask about the situation, and by the way, I will contact the girl who was in the same dormitory as Sophie three years ago to ask about the situation." ”

Sherlock swallowed back his unfinished words, smacked his lips, and nodded.

"Okay." Zhou Yang Huizi nodded.
