Chapter 11: Teacher Liu
I found out the homeroom teacher of Du Tan and Xu Kuan's junior high school, her name is Liu Huiqin, and she has taught Du Tan and Xu Kuan for three years.
Liu Huiqin's home is also in Ningzhou City, and I got her address from the school leader and drove directly to her house.
At present, the information that our police have is really limited, and I think that if we start with the investigation of the head teachers of the two deceased in this case, we will definitely gain something more or less.
After knocking on Liu Huiqin's door and showing my ID to explain my intentions, Liu Huiqin invited me into her home.
She was the only one in the house, and her husband went out fishing with the neighbors.
"Do you know Du Tan and Xu Kuan?" I got straight to the point and asked directly.
Teacher Liu looked at me in a daze, as if she didn't understand why I would suddenly mention these two people to her.
"Yes, they're all our students." Teacher Liu said with a smile.
"After so many years, Mr. Liu is still so impressed." I smiled and said casually.
"Yes, it's been so many years, they should be my students in the class of '8 or '09. It's been more than ten years, and the days are really fast......" Teacher Liu said and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the passage of time can smooth many things, and many things can be forgotten, but it cannot soothe grief and hatred.
Just like this case, it is a hatred that spans more than ten years.
"Are you impressed with this class of students?" I asked again.
"I'm still quite impressed, and I'm very impressed with every one of my students." Teacher Liu said to me very confidently.
I nodded, looked at him seriously, and asked, "Did anything that happened to your class of students that impressed you the most?" ”
"What's the most impressive?" Teacher Liu was stunned and looked at me in confusion.
"Yes, especially the things related to Du Tan and Xu Kuan, didn't you say that you were deeply impressed by this class of students, you must recall it carefully." I smiled kindly and said to her.
Teacher Liu looked at me very puzzled, and asked curiously, "Comrade policeman, did Du Tan and Xu Kuan do something?" ”
"They're dead." I said lightly.
"Huh?!"
When Teacher Liu heard the news, she was instantly stunned, she couldn't believe that I had brought her such shocking news this time.
"How did they die?!" Teacher Liu settled down and immediately asked.
"They were killed, after a class reunion, they were killed." I said lightly.
After hearing this, Teacher Liu was even more confused, so that her voice when she talked to me was a little trembling, and she tried her best to calm her mood and asked, "Join the class reunion?!" It was the class reunion the day before yesterday?! ”
I jerked my eyelids up and looked at her, "You know they had a class reunion?!" ”
Teacher Liu nodded tremblingly, until now, she had not been able to accept the death of the two students she had taught.
She couldn't calm down anyway, swallowed hard and replied, "I knew they had a class reunion and invited me, but I didn't go." After all, as soon as I went, it was like in class, everyone was more restrained, and I thought it would be more relaxing for them to get together by themselves......"
I have to say that Mr. Liu's reason is more convincing and sincere.
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he asked me again: "Are they...... How did you die?! Who is the murderer?! ”
I hesitated to tell her about the case.
However, judging from the current clues, this homeroom teacher named Liu Huiqin will not be the murderer in this case. Judging by her reaction alone, at least in my case, the suspicion can be completely cleared.
I thought about it for a while, but decided to tell her the facts of the case: "According to the clues currently investigated by the police, the two of them were killed by the same person, and this murderer is likely to be their junior high school classmates." ”
"What? The murderer is a student in my class?! After listening to me, Teacher Liu was even more surprised, and she shouted out directly.
I nodded and said in a deep voice: "So, about what happened to Du Tan and Xu Kuan in school, you must carefully recall, did anything that happened to them in school that impressed you?" Like fights and brawls and the like? ”
"Fighting?" Teacher Liu muttered in her mouth, and she was suddenly stunned, as if she had thought of something.
Immediately afterwards, she subconsciously avoided my gaze, and said casually, "Fights and brawls are common, and junior high school children are the most difficult to teach, they are adolescence, rebellious personalities, and easy to be rash. Especially influenced by literary works such as movies and TV dramas, I always like to use violence to solve problems, and I fight at every turn, but it's nothing serious. ”
She said vigorously, I just watched her quietly.
Her face was ugly at this time, and the more she spoke, the more it showed that she was nervous and uneasy at the moment, and she must have remembered something, so she said to me endlessly.
Having worked with Li Meng for so long, I am now also a criminal psychology expert.
"Who are they fighting with?" I asked casually.
"They were all fighting with the classmates in the next class, which made me and the head teacher of the next class sad at the time." Teacher Liu's face became even more ugly, and she looked out the window and sighed as she spoke, as if this memory really brought her back to that time more than ten years ago.
"Have you ever had any friction with your classmates? In particular, what about relatively large contradictions, long-term contradictions? I made up my mind and asked him suddenly.
Because the students who participated in the class reunion this time were all classmates, and there were no classmates from other classes.
After hearing my question, Teacher Liu was silent for a long time, she must have thought of something, but she was hesitant to say it.
She was silent for a long time, slowly raised her head, and said to me, "It's a small fight with the classmates in the class, and there is no contradiction." Comrade policeman, are you sure that the murderer is a classmate in our class?! ”
Her question stabilized me, because our police currently have no clear clues and evidence to determine that the murderer is a classmate in their class.
"Teacher Liu, did you think of something?" I suddenly changed my mind and asked her directly.
Teacher Liu was stunned for a moment, showed a rather embarrassed smile, and stammered to me, "No...... I didn't think of anything, I was just curious, how could classmates kill people......"
