Chapter 54: A Race Against Time
On the way out, Chen Xiangsheng looked at the busy figures of the teachers around him, they were like parts in a well-thought-out machine, running in an orderly manner in their respective positions.
But it was in this machine that several parts were out of their original orbits, and even interfered with the operation of other parts, resulting in partial necrosis.
If left unchecked, this will gradually affect the operation of the entire machine, and after reaching a critical point, the entire unit will collapse.
Thinking like this, Chen Xiangsheng walked on the road of the academy, enjoying the scenery along the way.
Tianwen Academy is backed by the Flaming Mountain, with a lot of vegetation cover, and the air is much fresher than in the city.
Suddenly, four people approached, talking about something as they walked.
"The spearhead of this incident is pointed at Chen Zhengzhong, and he must be the murderer."
"As long as we find a way to get him to confess, then we can successfully complete this A-class mission."
"We'll get a big bonus, and it's a no-brainer."
"But we still have to prevent him from counterattacking, after all, he is also a teacher, and his strength should not be bad......"
……
Listening to the conversation of several people, Chen Xiangsheng was sure that they should also be the investigators in charge of this murder case, and it seemed that the dean did not put all his hopes on them.
But this is also right, how could Dean Ji put such a big thing on them. However, these people don't look very reliable.
It looks like I'm going to have to speed up the investigation, it's a race against time!
When the time comes, if you crack this case, you will be able to leave a good impression on Dean Ji, which will be beneficial to yourself.
Ji Bingxue and Yu Shibin, who were next to them, obviously noticed their conversation, and their hearts became nervous.
"We're going to have to speed up our investigation, let's split up." Ji Bingxue and Tu Xuyan nodded, their expressions becoming serious.
Chen Xiangsheng immediately began to assign tasks: "I'll go to Zheng Wanbing's villa to have a look, Ji Bingxue will go to Yang Meifang, Yu Shibin will go to Kang Yongjun, and if there is anything to find out at that time, I will use Polestar to contact." ”
……
When passing by the hall on the first floor, Chen Xiangsheng remembered the confrontation with Scarface yesterday, the source of which was the ranking of the combat power list.
His gaze turned to the prominent crystal hexagonal pillar in the center, which had only been a quick glance. Now that I look closely, I feel that this combat power list has a sense of grandeur.
As it swirled, the crystal hexagonal pillar glowed with black streamers, reaching a height of about five meters, and it would take about seven or eight adults to surround it.
One of them turned in front of Chen Xiangsheng, and on the top line was written [Combat Power List No. 1], and the next few lines were:
First place: Chen Xiangsheng.
Second place: Lin Xiaolei.
Third place: Yao Yuying.
Fourth place: Wang Dadao.
……
[Refresh time: July 1st.] 】
At that time, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, if I remember correctly, the scarface was called Wang Dadao, and there was no one who took this name.
Looking at this list, Tu Xuyan's words came to Chen Xiangsheng's mind. There are some more powerful peers outside of this list, and they ...... is the person Chen Xiangsheng really needs to catch up with!
Zheng Wanbing's villa is located at No. 22 in the East District, and after assigning the task, Chen Xiangsheng immediately rushed there.
When Chen Xiangsheng arrived, there were already security guards guarding the scene to prevent anyone from maliciously destroying the scene. After showing the proof of mission execution with his mobile phone, Chen Xiangsheng successfully entered the villa.
The items in the villa are very neat and clean, and it seems that Zheng Wanbing should be a person who loves life.
I walked around the hall, but I didn't find anything. In the corner of the hall, Chen Xiangsheng found that a surveillance camera was installed, and from that position, he should be able to take a picture of the whole hall.
In the kitchen, Chen Xiangsheng opened the lid of the kettle and found that there was still a pot full of water inside. He thought about it, which showed that Zheng Wanbing should have gone out temporarily, causing the hot water to rush into the thermos kettle before he had time.
Walking all the way, the structure of the villa was reflected in Chen Xiangsheng's eyes one by one, and everything seemed extremely normal.
After confirming that there were no other discoveries, Chen Xiangsheng walked up to Zheng Wanbing's room on the second floor.
His room was very simple, with only the simplest daily necessities, and even the clothes in the wardrobe were basically school uniforms, without a set of gorgeous dresses or anything like that.
This is really extremely rare among the nobles. In Chen Xiangsheng's impression, the children of the nobility are a group of extravagant people, and it seems that Zheng Wanbing does not belong to this kind of person.
On one side of the desk sat a long knife, the scabbard glowing with a cold glow, and the lines on the hilt were intricate.
This should be Zheng Wanbing's saber, didn't even take away the weapon.
In the flower cabinet above the desk, there is also a slightly crumbled picture frame. The photo shows a young man and a girl, both of whom are about the same age as Chen Xiangsheng and are wearing the uniforms of Tianwen Academy.
With just a glance, Chen Xiangsheng recognized that the young man was Zheng Wanbing, and a happy smile appeared on his face. The girl next to him held Zheng Wanbing's arm, and her eyes and mouth were also bent, full of happiness.
But the rift filled the entire frame, splitting the smiles of the two men apart. Looking up, the picture in the frame was still glowing slightly, and the edges and corners of the wooden frame had been smoothed.
Chen Xiangsheng stared at the girl for a long time before he turned his gaze, the girl in the photo was obviously not the one who died. There must also be a complicated story between her and Zheng Wanbing.
Then Chen Xiangsheng looked at the computer on the table on the other side, if he was not mistaken, there should be a record of the monitoring below.
Sitting on the computer chair, Chen Xiangsheng opened the desktop with some hands. Fortunately, there was no password, and Chen Xiangsheng successfully found the monitoring records on the desktop.
After a random press, Chen Xiangsheng "smoothly" found the video of the night Zheng Wanbing's disappearance.
It seems that we will have to learn the application of computer technology in the future, Chen Xiangsheng thought, and the video has already begun to play.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zheng Wanbing returned home. What followed were some normal activities, and Zheng Wanbing's mood had been very stable, and no one had come over to visit the door on the way.
Until 9:48, Zheng Wanbing entered the kitchen with his mobile phone. A minute later, he hurried out of the kitchen, ran out of the villa, and never returned.
Chen Xiangsheng's brows furrowed slightly, Zheng Wanbing should have received some very important information at that time, and then rushed out.
But when Zheng Wanbing's body was found, no mobile phone was found on his body, and it was most likely destroyed by the murderer.
Thinking like this, the phone in my pocket rang. Chen Xiangsheng took it out and took a look at it, and found that it was Yu Shibin's phone, did he find anything?
As soon as the phone was connected, Yu Shibin's scream came from the other side: "Chen Xiangsheng! Come over to my side, there's a big problem on my side! ”
Chen Xiangsheng was surprised, and said in a solemn tone: "You call Ji Bingxue again, if there is no problem, I will gather at your place, and I will come over immediately." ”
After a brief exchange, Chen Xiangsheng immediately hung up the phone. Zheng Wanbing's home has been almost investigated, and now let's go to find out about the situation of the other two.
On the way to Yu Shibin, Chen Xiangsheng happened to meet Ji Bingxue, who was also rushing over there, and the two immediately converged and went together.
The blue uniform jumped in the snow, and Ji Bingxue's petite figure flashed, leaving a beautiful back. She is no slower than Chen Xiangsheng's speed, and even surpasses it.
The two briefly exchanged the information they had just obtained, but unfortunately the result on Ji Bingxue's side was not satisfactory. Everything is normal in Yang Meifang's dormitory, and there is nothing strange about it.
At this time, it was close to noon, and there were more and more people walking around the academy, and the whole academy was lively again.
Chen Xiangsheng shuttled through the flow of people, always feeling that the eyes of the people around him glanced at him from time to time, and some whispers came into his ears: "It's him, the new transfer student, the first in the new combat power list." ”
"He's the one who easily knocked out the third person in the previous battle power list yesterday."
"Who's that guy next to him? It's beautiful! ”
"What are they doing in such a hurry?"
"I heard that there was a murder in the academy yesterday, and this transfer student appeared at this time period, maybe he has something to do with this murder."
……
Ignoring their discussion, Chen Xiangsheng and Ji Bingxue quickly left the crowd and then ran towards Kang Yongjun's villa.
"What's the condition with that dark blue bead of yours?" Suddenly, Ji Bingxue turned his head to look at Chen Xiangsheng's wrist and asked.
This question lingered in her heart for a long time, and she thought about it all night yesterday, but she still couldn't think of an answer.
Why can't Yu Shibin see that dark blue transparent bead? Is there such a bizarre effect in the Awakening Stone type? Clearly, something went wrong.
Seeing Chen Xiangsheng's eyes yesterday, Ji Bingxue tacitly chose not to talk about it, but this aroused her curiosity even more.
Obviously, Chen Xiangsheng did not plan to tell Yu Shibin this secret, which does not mean that Chen Xiangsheng does not believe him, but everyone has their own secrets.
After pondering for a while, Chen Xiangsheng shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but this is definitely not an awakening stone." ”
“…… All I can tell you is that no one else can see it. ”
……
Although Chen Xiangsheng's explanation was a little bizarre, Ji Bingxue accepted it in the end.
When Chen Xiangsheng and Ji Bingxue came to the door of Kang Yongjun's villa, Yu Shibin was already waiting at the door, his expression was a little surprised, and more unpredictable.
"What's going on?" Chen Xiangsheng looked at Yu Shibin and asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Shibin didn't know how to explain, but said, "See for yourself." ”
Ji Bingxue and Chen Xiangsheng glanced at each other and walked in at the same time.
There was no blood spilled on the ground in the yard, and there was no destruction at all, but the feeling was ...... It's a bit empty.
