I caught the murderer

"Ring Ling Ling..."

The monotonous and piercing school bell rang, and the students poured out of the classroom like a tide, and then dispersed within a few minutes.

"The description on the Internet is really correct," Shen Zheng said with emotion, "They really look like prisoners who have been released after serving their sentences."

"Is school that scary?"

Pei Yuzhou shook his head: "It's natural for children to love to play, not to mention someone died here just now."

Although it is possible to talk freely about the dead during the day, when night falls, most people instinctively panic about it.

That is awe of life.

Pei Yuzhou and Shen Zheng walked side by side on the dim path in Yude Middle School. It was dark and the street lights were not on yet. The branches of dead trees swayed in the cold wind, like a monster with teeth and claws.

Looking at the red ears of the person beside him, Shen Zheng reached out to help Pei Yuzhou put the hat on the back of the down jacket: "What do you think is going on with this case?"

"Both look like murderers, but neither has direct evidence."

Although Bai Lanlan's fingerprints were on the fruit knife, the other party claimed to be a clue provider. According to the principle of innocence, they could not count Bai Lanlan as the murderer.

——Being beyond suspicion, that is, if the suspect cannot be proven guilty, then the suspect can only be judged innocent.

Shen Zheng always felt that this case was subtly similar to the last He Zhong case: the murderer seemed to take pleasure in erasing evidence and playing tricks on the police.

But are there really so many antisocial people in this world?And it just popped up in groups within this month?If Shen Zheng still can't see that there are forces secretly manipulating these murderers, then his job as the leader of the special case team for so many years will be in vain.

He just didn't want to press Pei Yuzhou.

He wanted to wait for the other party to speak.

Pei Yuzhou naturally heard Shen Zheng's implication, but he always clearly distinguished feelings as feelings and business as business.

He pretended not to understand, and followed Shen Zheng's words to express his guess: "Is it possible that it was a conspiracy?"

Shen Zheng stopped in his tracks: "Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing?"

This guess is bold enough, but it is indeed reasonable.

But to Shen Zheng's surprise, Pei Yuzhou actually denied his statement: "It's not the two of them, or... it's not just the two of them."

"Xu Xin, Bai Lanlan, Gu Zhiqing, I suspect that Xu Xin's case is the product of the conspiracy of these three people."

This is new. In a homicide case, apart from the identity of the victim, the deceased may also be the murderer. Shen Zheng's interest was suddenly aroused: "Tell me."

"Bai Lanlan who holds a murder weapon, Xu Xin who puts on women's clothes to die, and Gu Zhiqing who has the key to the teaching building. Don't you think that combining the conditions mastered by these three people will solve all the unreasonable things? ?"

Shen Zheng didn't think that Pei Yuzhou was a random guesser, so he asked, "The reason for the three people's conspiracy?"

"The relationship between these three people is very good," Pei Yuzhou said, "Recall what Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing said, and what Xu Xin said to Xu Qiurong - he said that Gu Zhiqing and Bai Lanlan are his good friends."

"These three people have never expressed any negative comments on the other two. Even when Bai Lanlan 'revealed' Gu Zhiqing, she said 'she will not be a murderer'."

"Although Bai Lanlan has been working hard to create an atmosphere where sisters are tearing|pushing, her instinct is hard to overcome." Pei Yuzhou pointed to her eyes, "When she mentioned Gu Zhiqing, she didn't have any negative emotions in her eyes."

"That's not the look a whistleblower would have."

Pei Yuzhou tilted his head and looked at Shen Zheng: "You were more suspicious of Bai Lanlan before, weren't you?"

Shen Zheng said "um", and Pei Yuzhou smiled and said, "Look, if the facts are as Bai Lanlan said, it is Gu Zhiqing who pushed her to the position of suspect now, but she never mentioned that Gu Zhiqing framed her." she."

"Not a word, how does this look like a suspect in a sister's rebellion?"

"And the evidence she provided." Shen Zheng quickly followed Pei Yuzhou's train of thought, "A murder weapon that has nothing to do with Gu Zhiqing."

Pei Yuzhou nodded: "On the surface, the sisters are torturing | Bai Lanlan plays the role of an informer, identifying Gu Zhiqing but providing a murder weapon that cannot be used to accuse the other party."

"Gu Zhiqing is a suspicious 'mystery novel fan' who keeps provoking the police and attracting the police's attention to herself, but when the police actually investigate her, they will find that she has no major flaws."

"That's right," Shen Zheng nodded, "She's innocent, except for that key."

After Bai Lanlan "reported" Gu Zhiqing, Shen Zheng went to see the relevant surveillance in person. Gu Zhiqing was indeed captured by the monitor at the school gate leaving. Doubt the reason for Bai Lanlan.

——Although the call records showed that Gu Zhiqing did call Bai Lanlan that night, no one knew what the call was about, and Bai Lanlan could talk nonsense.

Originally, he wanted to have the two suspects confront each other at the next interrogation, but he didn't expect Pei Yuzhou to give him a more outrageous but more likely statement.

"Who said she really got in the car?" Pei Yuzhou smiled, "If Bai Lanlan can avoid surveillance, she can't? Besides, the driver is also hers."

"Two assailants who cooperated tacitly, and a lamb who voluntarily died. If Lu Zhaobo really didn't leave that night, the case would be nailed to his head."

He has the key to the teaching building, has forced Xu Xin once, likes women's clothing, and has always been arrogant and lawless. As long as the police can find anything at the scene that can prove Lu Zhaobo's identity, he will never run away.

"I think they must have prepared a way to exchange Lu Zhaobo's key back. After all, what happens after Lu Zhaobo is arrested and taken to the police station is beyond the control of two girls and a dead man."

It's just that Lu Zhaobo didn't show up for the appointment that night, and then the police kept a close eye on the three suspects, Gu, Bai, and Lu, which made the key ring empty.

"Huh." Shen Zheng's phone vibrated, he swiped open the screen, and then laughed out loud: "Sure enough, that fruit knife belongs to Lu Zhaobo."

"Also, the skipping rope in the sports equipment room is indeed missing, but it was indeed the request of the physical education teacher for Gu Zhiqing to get the skipping rope on Wednesday."

All the evidence pointing to Gu Zhiqing collapsed, and this collapse put all the suspicions on Lu Zhaobo.

"If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhaobo's alibi must be true, I'd almost decide him as the murderer."

"That's why it's so important to have a friend who even installs a surveillance camera in the guest room of the bar," Pei Yuzhou joked, "If it wasn't for his friend's habit of watching other people's erotic palaces, Lu Zhaobo really wouldn't be able to clean it up no matter what."

While the two were talking, they had already left Yude Middle School. Shen Zheng stretched out his hand and opened the car door: "Just now, Xinyao also checked the door locks of the teaching building to the bottom. Sure enough, I found something. Guess what it is?"

Pei Yuzhou sat on the co-pilot and thought for a while, then he was not sure: "Colored powder or rust? After all, if you think about it in terms of 'planting', the murderer can only do this."

Although the gate of the teaching building of Yude Middle School is not dilapidated, it is definitely old, and it is not unreasonable for the keyhole to rust.

"There are both," Shen Zheng turned on the heater in the car, "the rust also has a little powder of the same color as the rust."

"I believe that if we can find that key, we can also find these things on the key."

Such a thoughtful idea, Pei Yuzhou almost wanted to applaud the murderer.

It's a pity that Lu Zhaobo's failure to attend the appointment made all the murderer's ingenious designs seem superfluous.

"What should I do next?" Pei Yuzhou fastened his seat belt, "Interrogate Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing overnight?"

Shen Zheng stepped on the accelerator: "It's a little troublesome."

Judging from their existing evidence, even if Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing were transferred to the court to apply for a judgment, they would most likely end up with a result of insufficient evidence and supplementary investigation.

Not to mention Gu Zhiqing who grew up in a wealthy family, she must have a good enough lawyer by her side.

"Let Qian Lan and the others look for that key. If it's really for the purpose of framing, the murderer will definitely not be willing to destroy it."

Pei Yuzhou's right eyelid twitched, he always felt that this matter would not end so simply.

What was it that he hadn't thought of?

But contrary to Pei Yuzhou's expectations, everything that followed went very smoothly.

Shen Zheng told everyone in the special case team about his conjecture, and the special case team cooperated and changed the direction of investigation in time. It didn't take long for them to find the key.

At Bai Lanlan's house.

The little key was stained with crimson rust, lying quietly at the bottom of the drawer.

However, Bai Lanlan and Gu Zhiqing, who entered the police station again, behaved completely differently from last time. Both of them seemed to have turned into gourds. No matter how the special case team asked, the two girls did not say a word. .

The special case team should have spent a lot of time with them, but the Xu Xin case has aroused more and more heated discussions on the Internet, and the grievances and entanglements between the victim and the school music teacher also swept the entire Internet overnight.

Under the double pressure brought by the external media and the immediate superior, the special case team had no choice but to submit the existing evidence to the court and wait for the court's decision.

Fruit knives, keys, related surveillance videos and transcripts, most of the evidence is related to Bai Lanlan. For the sake of insurance, only Bai Lanlan's name was written on the complaint filed by the special case team.

If the other party was eager to get rid of the crime and really confessed to Gu Zhiqing, that would be what the special case team wanted to see the most.

But Bai Lanlan still didn't react after hearing this decision. Bai Lanlan, who was always timid and crying, even turned her head and smiled at Pei Yuzhou.

That smile was lofty, very much like Gu Zhiqing.

Pei Yuzhou suddenly became worried about the verdict a few days later.

It seems that he needs to look through the nursery rhymes.
