The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

Chapter 3 The chess game where the cicada died in the late summer (1-3)

After listening to my narration, Zhai Qi was not in a hurry to express any opinions, but took a sip of water in a leisurely manner, and then said in a statement tone: "When the incident happened, because 'someone committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of you' The incident itself caused too much impact, so I subconsciously did not explain that there were other witnesses. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was inappropriate to conceal the incident, but the behavior of directly 'informing' without communicating with the parties seems to be more serious. It’s not right, so I got tangled up.”

When he said this, it dawned on me just now—is that so?

"So after chatting with that classmate in the morning, why are you still struggling?" Zhai Qi asked.

"Because...the reasons he gave are not flawed, and they are quite reasonable. Moreover, that classmate seems to be very bad at socializing, and he seems to be afraid of trouble and attention." I said. "Besides, he is a freshman who has just entered the school. He has no reason to know a senior senior from another major, and he has no reason to harm her... right."

"Then you can help him hide it. If he really has something to do with the girl in the accident, the police can investigate it without you." Zhai Qi said lightly.

I couldn't help becoming excited when I heard it: "Why is this! If there are other inside stories about the incident, it is a human life!"

Zhai Qi showed a smile: "Look at you, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

When I walked out of the school infirmary, I felt a lot more relaxed. Before I entered the door, I thought it would be good to deal with the counselor's visit once in a while, but I didn't know that it's good to chat like this once in a while.I was about to take out my phone to send a message, when I suddenly saw an old man strolling over from afar, I couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Huh?Why should I watch him more?

When the uncle was about to walk in front of me from far to near, I finally realized that this is the head of the finance and economics department that Bian Yao mentioned before.

A thought flashed in my mind, I put the phone back in my pocket, followed him in two steps and called him: "Teacher, teacher, excuse me."

When the uncle turned around, I quickly tried to remember his surname in my mind——Liu, no, Zhang...it doesn't seem to be...

His expressionless and ordinary features have matched mine.

"Happy weekend, Director Chen!" Two students passing by said hello and rescued me. I breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Director Chen, are you free now? Just two minutes, I want to consult about changing majors."

His muddy face turned into lake water, and he suddenly became vivid, and he said, "Oh? Are you interested too?"

"Also?" When I heard this word, I felt like a buzzing helicopter finally stopped in my heart, and I let out a breath: "Yes, have many classmates come to ask you recently?"

The conclusion I got from chatting with Zhai Qi just now became blurred again. In just a few seconds, I quickly reflected on my preconceptions and the bad behavior of doubting others with established impressions.

I also began to imagine what kind of impact it would have if the police heard my ambiguous accusation and came to the school to take Bian Yao away in front of other students.Recalling that Bian Yao always sat alone in the last row, far away from the crowd, if he couldn't get along well with a familiar person like Zheng Yan, he might hide out of fear of trouble.

Director Chen said: "Yes, you are not the only one this week alone. Our school has a high score in finance and economics, and many students have entered the school and then took the exam for changing majors."

"That's right."

I suddenly thought again - I witnessed that kind of thing happen with my own eyes, and I even have a psychiatrist to help me with counseling, so what about Bian Yao, who had a closer contact with this thing?

Although he seemed unimpressed, Zhai Qi also said that the time since the incident happened is still very short, maybe he hasn't fully digested it, or everyone's stress response is not good at all. Same.

"I wanted to persuade her to come down, or at least delay it for a while..." Bian Yao said so, would he even feel that he was partly responsible...

Realizing that I had been in a daze for too long, I quickly put on a disguised smile: "It was because a friend of mine was interested in this and came to you for consultation a few days ago, that I also thought that I could transfer the exam within the school."

"Oh, I remember," Director Chen grinned, "That female classmate is your friend."

I was taken aback when I heard this: "Eh? It's not a girl. He's tall, a boy wearing glasses."

Seeing that there was no response from the other party, I said again: "He also visited your home yesterday."

All the fluctuating expressions on Director Chen's face disappeared, and it turned back into a flat clay sculpture.No, it seemed to be harder than before the conversation, his face turned into stone.

"I have no impression." Director Chen said word by word.

The propellers of the helicopter in my heart turned slowly again: "Is it what happened yesterday? He went to your house... You live on the sixth floor of Unit [-], Building B, right?"

He ignored my question, but said indifferently: "I don't know who you are talking about. If you have nothing else to do, please don't waste my time." Said: "Even if students have something to consult, they still come to the office. How could they come to my house? What does it look like! If you don't believe it, you can ask my wife, she was at home all day yesterday, and she can testify!"

His tone was so stern that I felt the sideways glances of passers-by, and under such a moment of embarrassment, he had shrugged his shoulders and hurried away.

What's the meaning?This sudden turn of events completely stupefied me.Director Chen's attitude like flipping through a book only made me understand one thing - the fact that Bian Yao met and talked with him was probably true, and he was very impressed with Bian Yao.

why?That person is obviously just like a cloud of unwelcome air in the eyes of his classmates.

And director Chen's overly violent speech made me even more confused. Is it necessary to bring out my wife as evidence?

While thinking, I hesitated and took a step, and stopped suddenly after taking two steps.Looking at the school gate in front of me, I suddenly thought that when Bian Yao passed by the Kendo club yesterday, he was going in the direction of the seniors and the others going home.

That is to say, he had already left the west gate, but for some unknown reason, he turned back.

"You, what are you doing here?" Zheng Yan was dumbfounded when he saw me striding into their classroom.

"Don't worry about me, I have nothing to do and want to listen in..." I stretched my neck to look at his textbook, and said, "Analytic Geometry."

Zheng Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Pfft, who would?"

A girl at the table behind him immediately said: "Sit with us? If you don't understand, we can help you answer." The people around also laughed and said, "Okay, okay."

"That would disturb you too much. I'll just sit at the back." As I said this, I actually caught a glimpse of Bian Yao who was slowly entering the classroom out of the corner of my eye, and ran to sit beside him decisively.

The masseter muscles on Bian Yao's cheeks moved, and he rolled his eyes, but said nothing: "..."

The teacher came in: "Student, it's class time, do you want to sit down?"

He took the courage to sit down, and I also took the courage to start listening to the mathematics department.

Bian Yao was quite calm and said nothing, but he didn't fall asleep immediately, so I took the lead and said: "I just confirmed with Director Chen, and he said that no student has ever been to his house, and he doesn't remember it at all. You went to him to consult about changing majors."

Bian Yao put down his pen lightly, and turned his head. His previous dazed and world-weary expression was gone, and his amber eyes were undisguisedly releasing the shocking pressure at this moment.

I knew he was finally getting serious.

"That's right, I just won't let it go, and I won't accept any half-baked explanations." I said rascally, "So what is your relationship with Yao Jing, and why did you follow her to the top floor that day?"

After being silent for a long time, I couldn't help turning my head to see if Bian Yao was asleep, and he suddenly spoke.

"I really don't know her," Bian Yao said, "but I've been with her for a while."

This sudden stalker's speech made me look sideways again, he said: "What I'm going to tell you next, don't tell anyone else...Of course, if you still decide to tell the police after listening, then I can't help it .”

"Oh... you, you say."

"Someone entrusted me to investigate her." Bian Yao said, while handing over from under his elbow a business card that was evaluated by the police uncle as "only for the elderly" - on a white piece of paper that feels good to the touch, it is written in simple black letters Authors: Wanshiwu, Bian Yao, and a bunch of mailboxes.

I held this paper for a long time and couldn't speak, my heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, but Bian Yao was very calm and explained: "My part-time job."

"Occasionally, a client would come and ask me to do something. This time, it was a good friend of this girl. Seeing that she was not doing well recently, and refused to communicate with me, she was too worried to find me."

I was still immersed in the thunder effect brought by the word "everything house", Bian Yao quickly explained: "I followed this girl for a few days, and found that she is indeed in love, looking for a job and family relationship recently. They were all frustrated, but I didn't expect her to go to extremes so quickly, and I was caught off guard."

There was too much information in the paragraph just now, and I only had time to grasp a thread: "A romantic relationship? Didn't you hear that she has a boyfriend?"

"My client, my predecessor, just broke up," Bian Yao said succinctly, "No one else knows."

"Oh...is he also a student of our school?" I sighed a little: "This kind of thing happened to my girlfriend who just broke up, so he should be embarrassed."

"Yeah." Bian Yao didn't want to linger on this matter: "As for why I was on the roof at that time, it was because of that girl..."

"Yao Jing, her name is Yao Jing." I interrupted him.

Bian Yao paused, then changed his words: "It's because during the time I was paying attention to her, Yao Jing often went in and out of the teacher's apartment building, and once she went in, she didn't come out for a long time, but at first I thought..."

"Huh?" I glanced at him, "What's the matter, tell me?"

"Yao Jing's senior social practice application has never been passed. My client said that she was very anxious about it before the summer vacation, and even thought that the teacher who approved the social practice was deliberately blocking her. The teacher lived in that building. , I thought Yao Jing was looking for him."

I was a little confused after listening to it, and I always felt that he deliberately missed some key information, and said, "No, why don't you go to the office to talk to the teacher?"

"That's why," Bian Yao said, "The teacher had a bad reputation before, so..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but I already understood: "No way, what do you mean, do you think that teacher secretly rules Yao Jing? Yao Jing is from the Department of Finance and Economics, so the teacher you are talking about is..."

"Shh, keep your voice down." Bian Yao glared at me sideways, and said, "It's Director Chen. In order to test this conjecture, I went to provoke him a little bit, but the old man reacted a bit too much, cursing and yelling at me. I blasted it out. I'm not surprised that he denied to you afterwards the fact that he had talked with me."

At that time, after Director Chen heard my description of Bian Yao, his expression was indeed a little subtle, and he was busy denying that he remembered such a person, and he ran away at a high speed to cover it up, so it made perfect sense.

Bian Yao continued: "But later I found out that Yao Jing has been unable to pass the application for social practice. It is not Director Chen's intention, but her family does not agree with her going to such a distant city, and she is afraid that she will stay outside in the future. Not coming back. They wanted Yao Jing to stay in this city after graduation, so they found the school to come here, and deliberately refused to ask the teacher to give her approval."

Me: "How come there are such parents."

"Anyway, that's the way it is. If you wait a few days, the police will get the same answer—the pressures in all aspects of life force her to think about it. And I didn't know her at all before, and there is no reason to harm her."

"I didn't say you harmed her..." Before I finished speaking, Bian Yao had lost interest and forcibly summed up our conversation: "I have said everything I should say, and what I have to do next is up to you." Your own choice. Don't talk to me again, conspicuous."
