what's weird

Was it a prank?

Gu Yizhi closed the door again and waited for another ten minutes, but there was no knock on the door again.

The drowsiness gradually hit him, he moved to the side of the bed, and fell asleep.

He had a dream, dreaming that he came to a place filled with thick fog, and someone kept calling his name, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find where the sound was.

The next day he woke up with the sound of the alarm clock, and walked into the police station drowsily with two panda eyes.Seeing his sluggish face, Wang Hao joked, "Did you go to be a thief last night? Look at the black-eyed one. If you put it in the zoo, it's a national treasure. It doesn't wear makeup!"

"Don't mention it, half asleep and half awake all night is more tiring than staying up late." Gu Yizhi said weakly while lying on the table.

"By the way, the identity of the deceased has been identified," Wang Hao put a stack of documents in front of him, "The deceased is Tang Xiaoyi, 21 years old, a student of the Foreign Trade Department of Yicheng University."

"Yicheng University again?" Gu Yizhi said.

"I checked and found that she and No. 1 deceased Gao Tingting did not meet each other in daily life, and the two have nothing to do with each other." Wang Hao said, "Her body was discovered by a fishing enthusiast yesterday evening. According to the inference, the time of death did not exceed 24 hours."

"What's the cause of death?" Gu Yizhi flipped through the file and asked.

"Like the previous three victims, there were no obvious wounds on her body, and no signs of sexual assault. Judging from the autopsy, she died of drowning."

"Is it suicide?"

"It's not sure yet. The road management department will send someone to send over the surveillance video of that night."

Looking at the photos of the death scene in the file, Gu Yizhi frowned: "There must be a connection between these four murders. We may have missed a very important clue."

"The technical investigation department inspected the hair tissue remaining on the No.1 deceased Gao Tingting's body, and determined that the scratches on her body were caused by cats after death, and the body showed signs of being moved." Wang Hao said.

"So the garbage dump is probably not the scene of the first crime!" Gu Yizhi's eyes lit up.

"If the garbage dump was not the scene of the first crime, where would Gao Tingting be killed?" Wang Hao was lost in thought, "Why did the murderer move the body to such a remote place?"

"I'll go to Yicheng University." Gu Yizhi stood up and said.

"I'll go with you." Wang Hao said quickly.

"No, the road administration department will send the video later, and I'll give it to you to check." Gu Yizhi patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Call if you have anything to do." Wang Hao sent him out.

An Hui came over with the documents in her arms, and asked strangely, "Why is Yizhi going?"

"Go to Yicheng University to collect evidence." Wang Hao said.

"You just leave this hard work to him?" An Hui rolled her eyes.

"I want to go, but they won't let me go." Wang Hao spread his hands helplessly.

"I think you don't want to deal with those noisy students!" An Hui said angrily.When investigating Gao Tingting's case last time, the two of them went to Yicheng University together. When they got there, they were surrounded by a group of students. All big.

"Okay, don't hurt others, did the road administrator send the video?" Wang Hao said.

"Not yet, I'm about to call to remind you."

"Tell them to hurry up and notify me as soon as the video is delivered!"

Yicheng University is a key institution of higher learning in China, and it is also the first choice for countless Yicheng students to fill in the report. Gu Yizhi walked on the green tree-lined path, looking at the vigorous students on the playground, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. If his parents hadn't forced him back then, perhaps he would have become a student here too.

After knowing his identity, the security guard quickly guessed his purpose: "Comrade policeman, are you here because of those two murder cases? You said that the two good children, how can you say that they just died? Really? What a pity! Comrade police, you must quickly catch the murderer, and don’t let him get away with it!”

He babbled on and on along the way, most of the time feeling sorry for the two girls, Gu Yizhi listened to him read all the way, finally walked to the director's office, the security said: "The director is inside, you go in."

The dean is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a slightly fat body and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He warmly served Gu Yizhi tea and water: "Our school has always been peaceful, but this year two incidents happened in succession. The murder case has alarmed the Education Bureau. Comrade police, if there is anything I can help, please feel free to tell me, I will fully cooperate."

"I want to know about Tang Xiaoyi's daily life." Gu Yizhi said straight to the point without being polite to him.

"The child's academic performance is average, not very talkative, and nothing special." The dean said, "There are more than 2 students in our school, and she is so unknown that it is easy to be ignored.

"Can you arrange for me to meet the person in the same dormitory as Tang Xiaoyi?" Gu Yizhi asked.

"No problem, how about this, I will take you to the reception room first, and let the life teacher bring them over in a while." The dean suggested, "The reception room is quiet, so it is convenient for you to take notes."

Gu Yizhi nodded, and followed him to the reception room. After waiting for more than ten minutes, a female teacher in her early thirties led three female students in.

"Officer Gu, they are Tang Xiaoyi's roommates." The dean introduced them one by one from left to right, "Xia Wen, Wan Lili, and Li Jing."

Gu Yizhi motioned them to sit down, and said, "I have a few questions I want to ask them."

"Understood, we will avoid it now." The dean nodded his head, and said, "Cooperate well with Officer Gu's investigation!" After speaking, he led the female teacher to close the door and go out.

"You son of a bitch! You know how to flatter!" the girl named Wan Lili said angrily.

"He is afraid that the Education Bureau will trouble the principal again, and the principal will trouble him again." Li Jing agreed.

"Don't be like this, Director Zhao is doing it for our own good." Xia Wen, who looked the quietest, advised them.

"Are you Tang Xiaoyi's roommates?" Gu Yizhi interrupted their discussion.

"Officer, there's no way Xiaoyi committed suicide!" Wan Lili said suddenly as she stood up with her hands on the table.

"Why are you so sure?" Gu Yizhi asked seriously.

"Xiaoyi is the most careless person in our dormitory," Wan Lili said. "She is smiling every day, as if she has no worries at all. How could she commit suicide!"

"Maybe it's because of too much study pressure?" Gu Yizhi questioned.

"No," Li Jing said, "Although Xiaoyi's grades are mediocre, she has just passed the passing line. She often says that the exam is just to deal with the teacher, and it's not worth spending so much time. I would say that others committed suicide because of too much study pressure." Believe it, if it were her, I would never believe it!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyi is usually cheerful, she is the pistachio in our dormitory!" Xia Wen said anxiously.

"You have a good relationship with her?" Gu Yizhi asked.

"Of course, we live in the same dormitory, just like sisters," Wan Lili said sadly, "We go to class together, eat together, go shopping together, and do everything together. something like this..."

She suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes, and said excitedly: "Officer, you must find the murderer who killed Xiaoyi and avenge her!"

"Did she act strangely before she died?" Gu Yizhi asked seriously.

"No, she's always been normal..."

Before Wan Lili finished speaking, she was interrupted by Li Jing: "There is one thing that is quite strange, that is, Xiaoyi often hugged her mobile phone and giggled for a while, and she was a bit distracted."

"Yes, yes, there is such a thing, we asked her if she had a boyfriend, but she just refused to say." Wan Lili agreed.

"Why do you think she has a boyfriend?" Gu Yizhi asked strangely.

"It feels like she looks a lot like that." Xia Wen said, "Xiaoyi is a character who can't hide her words, but she won't tell anyone about this alone."

"Where is her cell phone now?" Gu Yizhi asked.

"Here I am," Xia Wen took out a black straight cell phone and put it on the table, "I was afraid you might need it, so I brought it here."

Gu Yizhi pressed the power button, but the phone didn't respond. He asked, "Did she go out without her phone that night?"

"Well, we were all doing our own things in the dormitory at that time, and Xiaoyi suddenly said that someone was looking for her at the door, and she wanted to go out to have a look, but unexpectedly..." Xia Wen bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.

"Someone looking for her? Who?" Gu Yizhi asked immediately.

"I don't know, there is no one at the door." Li Jing said, "The security also said that she went out alone."

Gu Yizhi fell into deep thought. The three girls looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak easily.After a few minutes, Gu Yizhi said: "I'll take this phone back to the bureau first, and if Tang Xiaoyi's family members ask, let them come to the bureau to pick it up."

"Xiaoyi is so pitiful..." Wan Lili said, wiping her tears.

"This is my mobile phone number. If you have any situation, please contact me at any time." Gu Yizhi wrote down a series of numbers on a piece of paper and handed them to them, "Try not to go out at night these days."

"Officer, the news says that four girls, including Xiaoyi, have died. Could it be a perverted murderer?" Li Jing asked fearfully.

Gu Yizhi didn't speak, put the phone into the evidence bag, opened the door and walked out.

The female teacher was still waiting outside. When she saw him coming out, she showed a smile on her face and asked politely, "Officer, they didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

"Recently, pay more attention to the safety of female students." Gu Yizhi reminded her.

"I know that the school has explicitly prohibited students from going out during this period of time." The female teacher's voice was as soft as cotton, and although her appearance was plain, her eyes and smile were very gentle.

Gu Yizhi nodded, and there were countless laughter and laughter from the playground, but his mood became heavier and heavier.

Although he has not been in the criminal investigation department for a long time, Gu Yizhi has been involved in countless cases, large and small, including many appalling homicides, and the cruelty of the methods is far beyond the present, but there has never been a case that allowed him to be as relentless as he is now. No clue.

He knew that the most critical thread was missing, as long as he found that thread, everything could be connected in series, but what exactly was that thread?

Is it the person who never appeared on the surveillance video but who did exist?

How did he escape the monitoring?

Gu Yizhi rubbed his hair irritably, sat down on the stone bench by the roadside, and smoked a cigarette depressedly.

In the cafe not far away, Feng Ze cast his gaze over, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss Feng, did you hear what I said?" Sitting opposite him was an old man in his 60s with gray hair and a jade wrench on his left thumb. Behind him stood two men wearing sunglasses. The bodyguard looked around vigilantly.

"Mr. Wang wants to choose a place with a treasured geomantic omen as the grave behind him." Feng Ze looked back and said calmly.

"That's right, it doesn't matter how much it costs, I only want the best." Wang Tongzhi said.

"As far as I know, Mr. Wang asked someone to choose the treasure point three years ago," Feng Ze said casually, "Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

"I said, I only want the best!" Wang Tongzhi put an envelope in front of him, and said, "Choose according to the horoscope and requirements of your birthday, and you can make a price!"

Feng Ze laughed, and pushed the envelope back in front of him: "If Mr. Wang can't tell the truth, then please forgive me for being powerless."

"You are not the only one who is in this business!" Wang Tongzhi said with a sneer.

"Then Mr. Wang might as well go to them." Feng Ze took out the tea money and pressed it on the table, and said politely, "I still have something to do, excuse me."
