Escape the Library

【Not Guilty Defense-06】

At noon, in the room of Yue Xingwen in Xinghe Apartment, all teammates were present.

His single apartment is quite spacious, and 12 people can sit and stand, and it will not be too crowded.

Xu Yishen shrugged helplessly and said, "The current evidence is very unfavorable to Zhu Xiaoting."

Yue Xingwen said: "Indeed, all the blame is directed at her. I am a policeman and I will think she is the most suspicious."

Jiang Pingce frowned and said in a low voice, "If the murderer was deliberately framed, it would be too late. Because Zhu Xiaoting and Liu Jiajia stayed in a tent, Liu Jiajia was still alive when she left the beach, the murderer must have been there before she left. Only after that did he move on Liu Jiajia. But when Zhu Xiaoting came to school, her roommate Xie Xiangqin had already been stabbed."

Yue Xingwen agreed: "That's right. The time was 4:30 in the morning, and there was no traffic jam along the road. It took 40 minutes to take a taxi from the beach to Beishan University. Zhu Xiaoting took the taxi at 4:30 and arrived at the school at 5:10. At the door, arrive at the dormitory at 5:20. If the murderer finishes killing Liu Jiajia, and then takes a taxi back to the school, it is impossible to kill Xie Xiangqin before Zhu Xiaoting."

Qin Lu nodded and said, "Unless the murderer has supernatural powers and teleports back to the school, we can get ahead of Zhu Xiaoting. But we are in a normal world, and apart from us candidates, it is impossible for the murderer to have supernatural powers. "

The same murderer killed two people in a row and put the blame on Zhu Xiaoting? This is impossible.

After the murderer waited for Zhu Xiaoting to leave, he first poisoned Liu Jiajia and dragged him into the sea, which would take at least 10 minutes, and then took a taxi back to school. The time to arrive at the school would definitely exceed 5:30, and it was too late to kill Xie Xiangqin.

Lan Yarong stroked her chin thoughtfully: "So, the two cases are probably two murderers?"

Yue Xingwen said: "I do tend to think that these are two cases. The person who killed Liu Jiajia on the beach side and the person who killed Xie Xiangqin on the dormitory side are not the same person. It may be a coincidence that Zhu Xiaoting is framed."

Jiang Pingce analyzed: "The methods used by the murderers are very different. One uses poison and the other uses a knife. Judging from Zhu Xiaoting's confession, she doesn't know who will harm her, which shows that she usually doesn't offend too many people. This side of the beach , it may be a coincidence that Xingwen said, the murderer happened to poison the bottle of water that Zhu Xiaoting gave Liu Jiajia, and the dormitory seems to be deliberately framing it."

Everyone thought carefully about Jiang Pingce's reasoning, and they all felt that it made some sense.

The two murderers committed murder at the same time, and they also blamed Zhu Xiaoting. How much hatred for Zhu Xiaoting? However, Zhu Xiaoting thinks that she has no such enemy. She looks more introverted and should not deliberately offend anyone.

From the perspective of the murderer's method of committing the crime, the difference between the two cases is obvious, and the two murderers are more likely.

Liu Zhaoqing said: "In the case of Xie Xiangqin, the deceased was killed by a single knife. First of all, it is very difficult for a girl as thin as Zhu Xiaoting to pierce a person's chest with a fruit knife, and it is almost impossible to accurately pierce the aorta of the heart. Suppose two girls are arguing. If there is a physical conflict, then she should stab each other several times in a row to stab the key point. But the forensic doctor only found one fatal injury, and the murderer is obviously a professional who knows the human body structure. "

Brother Liu's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Normal people do not understand the structure of the human body, so the probability of a knife stabbing into the heart is very low, not to mention two girls quarreling. When girls fight, don't they usually tear their hair and slap their ears first? If you really use the knife, you will definitely stab the opponent several times in a row under the excitement, and it is possible to stab the other party's heart.

One kill is too cruel, more like a professional committing a crime.

Xin Yan reminded: "In the girls' dormitory 703, there is a girl from the Academy of Biological Sciences named Li Huijuan. Could it be her?"

Xu Yishen said: "Our School of Biological Sciences does not study human anatomy, and we only dissect animals such as frogs and rabbits in our experiments. Girls in the School of Biological Sciences do not necessarily understand the structure of the human body."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and said, "It's more likely to be the vivid hand of medicine. We have to expand the scope of the investigation to see if there are any girls from medical school in the dormitory building No. 6, or if there are any medical students among Xie Xiangqin's friends and enemies. ."

Xin Yan followed the topic and said, "On the beach, Liu Jiajia's cause of death was poisoning. Cyanide, a professional highly toxic substance, is difficult for ordinary people to buy. The person who killed her and where she got the cyanide must also be investigated. ."

After deciding on the idea, Yue Xingwen arranged: "First, focus on investigating the students of the school, Xin Yan, Senior Brother Xu, and Shao Ke, please go to the school to check for cyanide and pay attention to the School of Chemistry; Senior Brother Pingce and Zhuo, you visit In the boys' dormitory area, pay attention to Xie Xiangqin's boyfriend Zou Yijia; Qin Miao and Qin Lu, focus on the girls' dormitory; Liu Shixiong and Zhang Xiaonian went to the medical school to take a look. Senior Sister Lan and I must hurry up and go to the police force to meet Zhu Xiaoting and Sister Manluo. Stay at the law firm to help everyone gather information.”

Lan Yarong said: "Zhu Xiaoting's mood is too fluctuating, we have to stabilize her first. In addition, we need to ask for more valuable information from her mouth. I feel that her explanation to the police is not comprehensive enough."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Well, everyone is ready to go."

Everyone had no opinion on the assignment of tasks, and began to investigate in groups.

Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen came to the police force together. Lan Yarong was dressed in a professional navy blue suit skirt and black high heels. Her hair was pulled up and neat. Yuexing trousers with a white shirt, leather shoes on his feet, and a briefcase in his hand, also looks like a young and handsome professional lawyer.

Lan Yarong shook hands with Team Chen, and said politely, "Hello Team Chen, I'm Lan Yarong, Zhu Xiaoting's lawyer. I have something to ask my client, and I would like to ask Team Chen to make it easier." She took out the lawyer's qualification certificate and showed it to Team Chen.

Team Chen said in surprise, "Lawyer? Has Zhu Xiaoting ever hired a lawyer?"

Lan Yarong nodded: "She asked a friend to hire me to be her defense lawyer." By the way, she introduced: "This is my assistant, lawyer Yue Xingwen."

Yue Xingwen took the initiative to reach out and shake the opponent's hand: "Hello Team Chen."

Team Chen whispered a few words to the police next to him, the other party turned to ask Zhu Xiaoting, came back after a while, and nodded to Team Chen. Team Chen said: "Okay, bring two lawyers over and give you 30 minutes."

The two followed the young police officer to the interrogation room.

After a while, Zhu Xiaoting was also brought.

She had handcuffs on her hands, her expression was down, and her face was still wet with tears. She glanced at Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen, then sat obediently across the table. After the police left, she asked, "Are you free lawyers?"

Lan Yarong nodded and said, "Yes, we are here to help your lawyers and provide you with free legal aid. We are on the same front as you. You can tell me any grievances you have."

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes turned red instantly, she choked and said, "I didn't kill anyone."

Yue Xingwen's voice was gentle: "Of course we believe you. However, the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. If you want to clear your crime, it is best not to hide anything from us. When the time comes, you will defend you in court. If there is a logical loophole in the anti-prosecution lawyer's question, we will be in a very unfavorable situation."

Lan Yarong glanced at Xingwen with admiration, nodded and said, "Yes, you must tell us frankly - do you and Xie Xiangqin have any other grievances besides liking the same boy? The more detailed the better."

Zhu Xiaoting was silent for a moment, and said, "I hate Xie Xiangqin very much. She has a wealthy family, and she wears expensive clothes and carries expensive bags. She often shows off in front of us. When I was cooking noodles in the dormitory last week, I accidentally broke one of her cups. She said that it was a limited amount, and it cost several thousand dollars. I will definitely try my best to make money to compensate her..."

The girl started crying.

These are all minor disputes in the girls' dormitory. When rich girls and poor girls are roommates, it is indeed easy to have conflicts. After long-term accumulation, her disgust for Xie Xiangqin gradually fermented, and she had the motivation to kill Xie Xiangqin to vent her anger.

Yue Xingwen grasped the key: "Xie Xiangqin has the same attitude towards your three roommates?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded: "Yes."

Yue Xingwen: "So, your other two roommates, Mao Yue and Li Huijuan, actually hate her too, right?"

Zhu Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, then raised her head suddenly: "Yes! They may also kill people. Mao Yue had a fight with Xie Xiangqin last week, and Li Huijuan and Xie Xiangqin didn't speak for half a month. They knew that I had a fruit knife, and they also Knowing where the knife is, if they wear a pair of plastic gloves and use my fruit knife to stab Xie Xiangqin to death, will they be able to frame it for me?"

Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen looked at each other, the girl finally regained her senses.

Yue Xingwen looked at her encouragingly and said, "Yes. So, think about it carefully. Who are the people who know you and hate Xie Xiangqin?"

Zhu Xiaoting thought for a while and said, "In addition to my two roommates, there is also Zhao Canan. She is from the medical school. She knows me. She was robbed of her boyfriend by Xie Xiangqin last year!"

Yue Xingwen immediately sent this information to Liu Zhaoqing and his party who were visiting the medical school.

Lan Yarong continued to ask, "Does Zhao Canan know that you have a fruit knife?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously: "I know, we bought it together at the time, and she and I were high school classmates."

Lan Yarong: "Where's Liu Jiajia? Has she provoked any enemies?"

Zhu Xiaoting: "I don't know. I only know that she is good-looking and likes to wear beautiful dresses. There are many people chasing her in law school, but she is still single now. Maybe she is jealous?"

Yue Xingwen quickly recorded in the notebook, and continued to ask: "When you walked into the dormitory, Xie Xiangqin was still breathing, did she call you for help?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded: "Yes, I thought she was just injured a little by accident. I wanted to hold the knife for her and call an ambulance, but I didn't expect her, she would die..."

Yue Xingwen said, "Your dormitory is on the 7th floor. Did you take the elevator up, or did you climb the stairs?"

Zhu Xiaoting did not hesitate: "Elevator."

"What floor did the elevator stop at?"

"On the first floor, I pressed the door button and the elevator opened. Then I sat on the seventh floor and went to the 703 dormitory."

"When you stepped out of the elevator, did you hear footsteps in the corridor and stairwell?"

Zhu Xiaoting recalled carefully for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Yes! I heard very light footsteps in the stairwell on the side. It must be someone... going upstairs?"

Yue Xingwen: "Are you sure you are going upstairs?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously: "Yes, the voice is going up!"

There are a total of 10 floors in the girls' dormitory, and it is easy to suspect that the murderer stays in the corridor after killing people. She should quickly flee back to her dormitory. Yue Xingwen sent a message to sister Qin Miao: "Narrow down the scope of investigation, 8~10 floors, investigate who went out at 5:30 this morning, and pay attention to the footsteps."

Lan Yarong said, "Recall again, what did Xie Xiangqin call you at around 5:20 in the morning?"

Zhu Xiaoting said: "After she called me, I answered the phone, but there was no voice over there. I fed several times, and she didn't speak. I thought it was a problem with the mobile phone signal. Sometimes the mobile phone signal in our dormitory building is not very good. "

Lan Yarong said, "Then, did she send you another WeChat message?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded: "Yes, it's the one 'Come back and talk, things between us should have a break'."

Yue Xingwen frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you downstairs in the dormitory?"

Zhu Xiaoting was taken aback: "How do you know?"

Yue Xingwen said: "The murderer saw you from the window, so she used Xie Xiangqin's mobile phone to call you and send WeChat messages. The murderer doesn't necessarily have a grudge against you, but when you came back just in time, she thought that it would be good for you to frame it for you. Method."

Remembering that the murderer was looking at her upstairs, Zhu Xiaoting's face was full of horror, and her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Yue Xingwen said: "How many people know about your coming back?"

Zhu Xiaoting shook her head: "Only Liu Jiajia knew that I was very uncomfortable after eating bad food and wanted to go back early. Jiajia was worried that I would be unsafe alone in the early morning, so I said, I will make an appointment for a Didi and give her the license plate number, which should be It'll be all right."

At four o'clock, the sky was already bright.

Yue Xingwen said: "So, your return to the dormitory is random. Except for Liu Jiajia, who has died, and the murderer who killed Liu Jiajia, no one else knows about it. The murderer on the school side cannot predict you in advance. Action, she just saw you upstairs, and she planned to frame it for you, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiaoting was completely persuaded by Yue Xingwen's logic: "That's right! Xie Xiangqin doesn't even know about my return to school! Why did she call me at 5:20? It was the murderer who saw me through the window and used her cell phone to call me. call!"

Yue Xingwen said warmly: "So, don't be afraid. Although the evidence is against you, there are still many details that don't make sense. We will find the real murderer and give you justice."

Lan Yarong said: "Now carefully recall all the girls above the 7th floor who know you and Xie Xiangqin at the same time, and give us a list."

Zhu Xiaoting said: "The girls' dormitory of our translation college is on the 8th floor, and they all know me. There are also many people in the medical school who know me, because I have been working and studying in the school from the first year to the fourth year, and I have also worked as an assistant in the Academic Affairs Office. , there are really many people who know me..."

Yue Xingwen: "We will investigate everyone in the School of Translation, focusing on the medical school."

Zhu Xiaoting sorted out her thoughts and said a few names. Yue Xingwen quickly wrote it down and sent it to the teammates who visited the school.

It is impossible for the murderer to frame the blame perfectly, leaving many loopholes in the details.

This unfortunate girl will definitely clear her grievances with their help!
