The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Chapter 20 The Suspicious Teacher Wang is Confusing

As the police investigated further, the case became more and more complicated, like a tangled mess, making it difficult to sort out the clues. Unexpectedly, many clues pointed to Wang Qiang, a highly respected math teacher in the school.

Wang Qiang is well-known for his rigorous teaching style in school. He is strict with students but patient. In class, he can always explain those obscure mathematical problems in a simple and easy-to-understand way with clear logic and vivid and appropriate examples. He is always dressed in a neat shirt and trousers, with a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose, giving people a serious and trustworthy impression.

However, some key evidence was like a bombshell, pushing him into the vortex of suspicion of this terrorist case. The police found a blood-stained dagger in Wang Qiang's office drawer. The dried blood was dark as ink, exuding a chilling breath. The blade of the dagger was extremely sharp, reflecting a cold light under the dim light. After a professional and meticulous preliminary identification, the dagger was highly consistent with the shocking wound on the deceased's body, as if it was the murder weapon that took the life.

In addition, a series of suspicious search records closely related to the case appeared in Wang Qiang's computer. Those creepy contents such as "how to deal with corpses" and "how to eliminate traces of crimes" seemed to reveal secrets in the dark. When the police obtained these evidences, they were shocked. They could not imagine that this seemingly upright teacher would be involved in such a cruel crime.

After learning about this series of circumstances, Xie Xuan'an was filled with confusion and shock. In his mind, he kept recalling the focused look on Teacher Wang Qiang's face when he was teaching in class, and the kind look on his face when he patiently answered questions for his classmates after class. He could not connect the serious and dignified Teacher Wang with such a cruel and bloody crime.

"What is going on? How could Teacher Wang be the murderer?" Xie Xuan'an asked himself over and over again in his heart.

At the same time, Yi Shou's various performances in the case investigation made Xie Xuan'an's uneasiness grow like weeds. Since the case happened, Yi Shou has shown unusual enthusiasm and enthusiasm. He no longer laughs and plays with his friends like in the past, but devotes all his time and energy to the investigation of the case. Moreover, as the investigation gradually deepens, Yi Shou becomes more and more crazy and excited. He showed an almost stubborn insistence on identifying Teacher Wang Qiang as the murderer, which made Xie Xuan'an wonder if there was some unknown deep hatred between Yi Shou and Teacher Wang Qiang?

"Yi Shou, I think it's a little abnormal that you are so devoted." Xie Xuan'an said to Yi Shou worriedly.

Ikari turned a deaf ear to this, his eyes flashing with fanaticism and determination, "I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible and help you get rid of the suspicion."

However, Xie Xuan'an's doubts did not diminish at all. Yi Shou's enthusiasm was really beyond the normal range. He began to secretly suspect that Yi Shou was so persistent in participating in the investigation, and what ulterior motives were hidden behind it.

At a teacher-student symposium carefully organized by the school, the purpose was to enhance the exchange and communication between teachers and students and create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. However, at this moment, the conference room seemed to be shrouded in a heavy haze, making people feel suffocated. Everyone had a tense face and dared not make a sound. The air seemed to condense into substance.

Yi Shou suddenly broke the deathly silence without warning. He stood up, staring at Teacher Wang Qiang with a sharp gaze, and asked in front of everyone, "Teacher Wang, can you give a reasonable explanation for those evidences?" His tone was tough and resolute, full of undisguised doubts. Yi Shou's body was trembling slightly because of extreme excitement, and his voice was like a thunder, booming in the quiet conference room.

Teacher Wang Qiang's face turned pale as paper in an instant. His lips trembled and he stammered, "This... this is purely a misunderstanding. I have no idea what evidence there is." His eyes were full of panic and helplessness, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped to freezing point, and an awkward and tense atmosphere spread. The students were stunned by this sudden scene and didn't know what to do. Some people couldn't help but take a breath, and the sound was particularly clear in the silent conference room; some people were so nervous that they tightly grasped the pen in their hands, and their knuckles turned white from the force; and some people couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.

Seeing this, Xie Xuanan quickly pulled Yi Shou aside and lowered his voice, his tone full of anxiety and anger: "You are acting impulsively like this, and you will only make things a mess!"

Yi Shou turned a deaf ear to Xie Xuan'an's dissuasion. He raised his voice and shouted, "I am pursuing the truth. I must not let the real murderer go unpunished!" His face turned red with excitement, and his eyes revealed a desperate madness and determination.

In the school, the rumor that teacher Wang Qiang was the murderer spread like a plague. During the break, students gathered in groups of three or five, whispering and discussing.

"I heard that Teacher Wang is the murderer. This is too unbelievable." A classmate frowned, his voice full of fear and confusion.

"He looks normal normally, how could something like this happen?" Another classmate kept shaking his head, with disbelief written all over his face.

"Maybe you really can't judge a person by his appearance." Someone echoed quietly, with deep fear in his eyes.

Facing these rumors, Teacher Wang Qiang seemed exhausted. His eyes were dim, as if he had lost his soul, and he seemed to have aged overnight. In class, he often looked absent-minded, and his teaching work was severely affected.

Xie Xuanan made up his mind to talk to Teacher Wang Qiang alone. In a quiet classroom, the warm afternoon sun shone through the window and gently sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Xie Xuanan met Teacher Wang, and his lonely figure seemed even more lonely against the backdrop of the sun.

"Teacher Wang, I really hope to hear your explanation." Xie Xuan'an's eyes were sincere, and his tone was full of doubt and expectation.

Teacher Wang sighed and said slowly: "Xuan'an, the teacher has really been wronged. I am also confused as to why the dagger appeared in my drawer. Someone must have deliberately framed me." His voice was filled with endless helplessness and grievance.

Xie Xuan'an stared at Teacher Wang's sincere eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder. He thought to himself, could it be that someone deliberately set up a trap to frame Teacher Wang? But how to explain the evidence?

At this moment, Yikari rushed in without warning, instantly breaking this rare tranquility.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the evidence is solid and unquestionable!" Ikari shouted, his face full of excitement and confidence.

Teacher Wang's eyes were wide open as he glared at Yi Shou angrily, "Stop slandering me! I am innocent!" His voice became hoarse due to extreme anger.

The situation got out of control in an instant, and Xie Xuan'an took great pains to separate the two. He felt extremely helpless and exhausted, and his heart was deeply confused, not knowing who to believe.

The police launched a more comprehensive and in-depth investigation into Teacher Wang Qiang. They combed through Teacher Wang Qiang's interpersonal relationships and tracked his daily whereabouts in great detail. At the same time, they also repeatedly reviewed and scrutinized the existing evidence, trying to find possible loopholes and doubts.

During this process, Xie Xuan'an became increasingly dissatisfied with Yi Shou's behavior.

During a private conversation, Xie Xuan accidentally discovered that Yi Shou was secretly collecting some unconfirmed gossip about Teacher Wang. The sources of these news were unknown, some were just rumors among classmates, and some were groundless speculations. Yi Shou actually planned to provide these things to the police in an attempt to further prove Teacher Wang Qiang's guilt.

"Yi Shou, you absolutely cannot do this. These unconfirmed things will only interfere with the police's judgment." Xie Xuan'an said with a serious expression and a firm tone.

However, Ikari retorted with disdain: "As long as it can be proved that he is the murderer, nothing else matters!" There was a hint of almost crazy obsession in his eyes.

Xie Xuanan felt helpless and increasingly doubted Yishu's real motive for participating in the investigation. Was there an irreconcilable personal grudge between Yishu and Teacher Wang? Or was Yishu just trying to satisfy his twisted desire for performance?

After many twists and turns, the police finally made a remarkable new discovery. It turned out that the key evidence that seemed to point to Teacher Wang Qiang actually had many doubts that could not be ignored. For example, although the bloodstains on the dagger were shocking, no fingerprints of Teacher Wang Qiang were detected. And those suspicious search records in the computer were also very likely to have been maliciously implanted by someone with ulterior motives.

These amazing discoveries make the truth of the case even more confusing, as if it were shrouded in a thick fog. The real murderer is still hiding in the endless darkness, waiting to be unveiled...
