Mystery Pursuit

On the evening of June 6th, the case of a female student jumping from a building in Yuguang Middle School was handled by the Xining Branch. It was not until Ma Shuang and Feng Ningning, who lived in the same dormitory, jumped to their deaths one after another, and three students jumped off the building in half a month, did not attract attention. At the end of June, the case was transferred to the Municipal Bureau. .

Everyone in the criminal investigation team drove to the scene of the crime. Yuguang Middle School is located in a remote location. It takes nearly an hour to drive there from the Municipal Bureau.

Yu Ye wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep when he closed his eyes. He unconsciously recalled what happened in the bar a few days ago.

After he drank too much that day, Liang Yuxuan secretly contacted Lin Jie and organized a party in the dormitory. Lin Jie lied that he called Wu Yuzhou for his birthday. Come to the reason, in the end there were only four of them on the scene.

Before the official meeting, Liang Yuxuan took a sneak peek at Wu Yuzhou, and then dragged Lin Jie to the bathroom, "If it wasn't for Zhou Qizheng, it would be haunted. Could it be that Congee Congee has twin brothers?"

Lin Jie: "There is no love brother, and there is only one younger sister, like? It's almost carved out of the same mold, so I also suspect that he is Zhou Qizheng, but why don't you admit it?"

Liang Yuxuan bent his elbows and slapped him, "You and Yu have solved such a big case, can't you solve such a small matter?"

Lin Jie was not convinced, and pushed Liang Yuxuan back, "Unraveling a person's secret is more difficult than investigating a case. The case has clues and evidence to follow, but if a person wants to prevent you from discovering his secret, there are a hundred ways to hide it." The method, I tried him a few times before, but it didn’t work, he didn’t get in, alas! As a friend, I can only burn incense sticks for the fish to commemorate his dead love.”

"Can't you hope that the fish order is good? Tonight everything is going according to plan. Let me, who has been away from the police for many years, show you a hand."

"Okay, I will fully cooperate. You are my captain tonight. The three of us have the most emotional experience. I will leave this matter to you. I am at ease."

The two teased for a while, then came out of the toilet and returned to their seats, Lin Jie patted Wu Yuzhou, "Let me introduce you to my college roommate Liang Yuxuan."

Wu Yuzhou got up and shook hands with Liang Yuxuan, and the four of them sat down. Fruits, dried fruits and wine were placed on the table. Liang Yuxuan asked some basic information politely first, and Wu Yuzhou answered them one by one. Much the same.

Class reunions will inevitably lead to chats about the past, and they are the same. Liang Yuxuan first said: "During the first semester of my freshman year, Dalin and I went outside to play basketball. It was hot at the time. , Damn it! Just be stupid, Team Wu, guess what we saw?"

Wu Yuzhou took a bite of the watermelon, smiled and shook his head.

Lin Jie pointed at Yu Ye, "I saw this guy kissing his boyfriend, pressing him against the wall, the kiss was so selfless, he didn't even know who came into the dormitory, Lao Liang and I stood aside and saw them finish, don't mention it What a blast."

Liang Yuxuan laughed loudly, "At that time, Dalin and I were still single, and that scene irritated both of us. We didn't study much in our sophomore year, but we were busy chasing girls."

Wu Yuzhou smiled lowly, "This is the benefit of the same sex. Finding a partner can solve it internally. If you go to the girls' dormitory to kiss, it will be miserable."

Yu Ye knew the purpose of Liang Yuxuan's revisiting the old story, so he didn't listen very carefully. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell under the table, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Wu Yuzhou's index finger and thumb nails rubbing against each other. Jie threw a peanut, "Why are you in a daze? The protagonist will tell you a few words about his feelings at the time. Is it embarrassing? Is it stimulating?"

Yu Ye threw the peanut back again, "What is there to say? You haven't been in a relationship? Eighteen|nine years old are still like that. I wish I could stick together for 24 hours."

Liang Yuxuan: "If the dormitory didn't have single beds, you two would have to stick together for almost 24 hours. During the student union event, you left in a hurry and forgot to tell Porridge. You are at ease."

These little things become dust in time after years, but at a specific moment of memory, the dust turns into flowers again, delicate and attractive.If nothing happened to Zhou Qizheng's family at that time, would he and Zhou Qizheng still be together now?Yu Ye thought wildly.

Lin Jie and Liang Yuxuan were still talking about their school days, glancing at Wu Yuzhou from time to time while talking.

Wu Yuzhou laughed occasionally, his eyes were always calm and unwavering, like an audience, not a participant.

When participants hear old events, they will recall the past, whether happy or angry, and have emotional fluctuations.No matter whether Lin Jie and Liang Yuxuan talked about the details of Yu Ye and Zhou Qizheng's relationship, or the embarrassing incidents in the dormitory, they couldn't do anything to mobilize Wu Yuzhou's emotions. He was always calm.

It's useless to bring up the past, Liang Yuxuan said again: "Captain Wu just went to the Municipal Bureau, so he doesn't know about Yu Ye's skills?"

Wu Yuzhou raised his eyelids slightly, and asked with great interest, "You mean cooking? I tried the dumplings he made, and they were delicious."

"Culinary skills are not worth mentioning, but singing is the king."

Lin Jie booed from the side, "Fish, show off to Dui Wu." As he spoke, he pushed Yu Ye to the stage.

Yu Ye half-pushed and walked onto the stage, picked up the guitar, whispered a few words with the band members, then stood in front of the microphone and stared at Wu Yuzhou's table.The bar was brightly lit, and Yu Ye was enveloped in the light. Looking from a distance from the audience, the people in the light were a little unreal, like a fantasy, and like a dream.

The accompaniment sounded, and the notes jumped out of the instruments, jumped to every corner of the bar, and got into the ears of the audience.

Yu Ye slowly opened his mouth: "In the sunny spring, walking among the crowds in this city, I suddenly thought of you again, you are the most beautiful spring in my memory, the yesterday that I can hardly go back... "The slightly hoarse voice sang Xu Wei's "Time" in a different flavor.

Although the lives of the three of Lin Jie have not changed much in recent years, they have each experienced different joys and sorrows. When young friends reunite and are catalyzed by music, even Lin Jie, who is nervous, can't help but feel a little sad and immersed. In memory, I forgot to observe Wu Yuzhou.

Wu Yuzhou lowered his head slightly, drank or ate fruit, did not look up at the stage, and his eyes did not move. Yu Ye's singing didn't seem to affect him very much. Halfway through singing, he got up and went to the bathroom.

The corridor leading to the bathroom was dimly lit, and Wu Yuzhou's back disappeared at the end of the corridor, while Yu Ye's gaze was still lingering in the corridor. After a while, a dark shadow appeared in the depths of the corridor. The shadow walked slowly, and their eyes collided in the dark light.

Wu Yuzhou went out of the corridor, turned around and returned to his seat, without looking at the stage, the sound of pulling the chair pulled Liang Yuxuan and Lin Jie out of his memories, and the two looked at each other, only to remember the real purpose of making Yu Ye sing.

After more than half of the singing was about to end, Lin Jie quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Is it possible? If it hadn't been for Zhou Qizheng's family accident, Yu might be a professional singer by now. Both Yu Ye and his sister have inherited Aunt Cui's gene of being good at singing and dancing. His sister It's Yu Weiwei."

Yu Weiwei's name was vaguely familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Wu Yuzhou thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that the slogan of Yu Weiwei's happy birthday on the LED lights that day was actually Yu Ye's sister.

Mentioning Yu Weiwei, Lin Jie touched Liang Yuxuan, "Are you still thinking about Yu Weiwei? Wei Wei is 20 years old this year, and you are 11 years older than her. If I were a fish, I wouldn't agree with my sister being with you if I were killed."

"What do you know, little girls like mature men who are older than themselves now."

During the conversation, Yu Ye came down from the stage, "What are you talking about? So happy."

Lin Jie: "Talk about your future brother-in-law."

Liang Yuxuan stared at Yu Ye attentively to see his attitude, Yu Ye took a sip of water first, "As long as Wei Wei likes it, I don't care."

"With your words, I boldly chased after..."

Lin Jie was going home at ten o'clock, the four of them left, and went home separately. Not long after arriving home, Yu Ye received a call from Liang Yuxuan. Liang Yuxuan was a little disappointed because he couldn't find the point that Wu Yuzhou was Zhou Qizheng's death. Yu Ye comforted him in turn. .

Lying on the bed, Yu Ye recalled Wu Yuzhou's small movements of rubbing his nails. Zhou Qizheng would make such small movements when he was nervous, and his gaze from the depths of the corridor looking at the stage was so real, but the moment Wu Yuzhou walked out of the corridor, he did not look on the stage. Taking a look, he deliberately pretended not to care.

Yu Ye became more firm in his feelings and judgments, but why didn't he admit it?You're investigating a confidential case, so you can't reveal your identity?Already have a lover and don't want to have anything to do with him anymore?These questions reminded him of 12 years ago, if Zhou Qizheng hadn't died, who was the corpse he saw at the police station?And where did Zhou Qizheng go all these years?Why don't you come back?

Yu Ye took a long breath into the air, blowing away the question marks in front of him, no matter how he raised himself, he gained a lot from this gathering.

Cheng Xiaolu patted the back of the co-pilot's seat, Yu Ye came back to his senses, and turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, the case data sub-bureau has sent it over."

Yu Ye nodded, "Go ahead."

"The three victims were students of Yuguang Middle School, Grade [-], Class [-].

Yuguang Middle School is a relatively well-known private school in Xining District. It advocates militarized management, and the management system is very strict. Parents who send their children to this school are generally divided into two categories: one is that parents can’t control their children, and they are running for the reputation of militarized management. Send it to the teacher.The second is that the parents are very busy and have no time to take care of the children. They don't have to worry about sending them to school for food and lodging, and they have a vacation once a month.

I have a cousin who is in Yuguang's junior high school. She told me something about the school. The school is so strict that it is abnormal. The self-study in the first and second grades lasts until 9 o'clock in the evening, and after 10 o'clock in the third grade. There is also homework for evening self-study. If I can't finish my homework, the teacher will punish me the next day.

Students are under a lot of pressure, but the enrollment rate is very high. The higher the enrollment rate, the greater the reputation, and the more parents come for this reputation. "

Lin Jie curled his lips in disgust, "In the future, I will never send my son to this kind of school. After studying here for three years, the child may suffer from depression. Parents now only care about grades, not their children's mental health."

"Your son is only one year old. It's too early to choose junior high school. You should consider choosing kindergarten first." After Yu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Xiaolu, "Tell me about the victim."

"The three victims were in the same class and in the same dormitory.

The first girl to jump off the building was Zhang Qingqing. She jumped from the bathroom window on the seventh floor in the early morning of June 6. The dormitory management immediately called the police when they discovered the situation. The sub-bureau did not find any signs of homicide. In addition to the high-pressure education model of the school, the students were too stressed. Big, unable to admit that suicides often happen, so the case was closed as suicide at that time.

Unexpectedly, five days later, Ma Shuang, who was in the same dormitory, also jumped from the window of the public toilet on the seventh floor in the early morning. Playing Bixian in the dormitory, Ma Shuang let go of his hand halfway through the game because he was afraid. There is a saying when playing with Bixian, you must send Bixian away at the end, and if you don’t send it away, it will always be by your side.

In the early morning of June 6th, Zhang Qingqing received a call from an unknown person, and Cheng Xiaolu suddenly stopped at this point.

Wu Fei urged, "Say it."

Cheng Xiaolu bit her nails and said slowly, "It was her who died... my sister."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the car, all eyes were on Cheng Xiaolu.

Cheng Xiaolu held up the tablet, "It's written in the case report."

Yu Ye took the tablet and looked at it, "Damn it, keep talking."

"On the night of June 6, she went to the toilet at midnight and never came back.

In the early morning of the second day after Zhang Qingqing's death, Ma Shuang received a call from Zhang Qingqing.

The day after Ma Shuang's death, Feng Ningning received a call from Ma Shuang. "

Lin Jie: "It's impossible for a dead person to make a phone call. Someone must imitate and play a prank to scare these girls."

Wu Fei looked sideways at the information, "Zhang Qingqing's sister has been studying abroad, she has never been to Yuguang Middle School, that is to say, in the school, no one knows Zhang Qingqing's sister's voice, it is impossible for her family to imitate the eldest daughter voice, to frighten the little girl."

After Wu Fei finished speaking, not only Lin Jie was silent, but Yu Ye and Wu Yuzhou were also deep in thought. There are too many weird things about this case.

"After Zhang Qingqing and Ma Shuang jumped off the building, why did Feng Ningning answer the phone instead of reporting the crime?" Wu Yuzhou asked.

Cheng Xiaolu looked through the information sent by the sub-bureau, "It's not written on it."

Yu Ye: "Have you checked the phone number for the female students?"

Cheng Xiaolu flipped through it again, "It's not written on it."

Yu Ye's face darkened, "I didn't write anything, what are the Xining branch investigating these days? There was something strange about the case from the very beginning, how could it be closed by suicide?"

Cheng Xiaolu said in a low voice: "The girls were scared, and they didn't dare to talk about the midnight phone call at first."

Wu Fei: "What are they afraid of?"

"Afraid of ghosts! They thought the pen fairy hadn't left."

"You should be fifteen or sixteen years old in the second year of junior high school. How can you believe in such things?" Wu Fei was puzzled.

Cheng Xiaolu: "Little girls are curious about these supernatural events. When I was in elementary school, I also played pen fairy with my classmates."

To prevent students from skipping classes and jumping over the wall to go out to play, Yuguang Middle School chose a special location when the school was established. Three people jumped off the building in a row, and the students fell into panic. Under pressure from all sides, the school temporarily closed for two days. The school was extraordinarily clean at this time, and the playground was empty. Yu Ye and the others drove directly into the school and stopped in front of the girls' dormitory building.

Tang Xiaoran arrived at the scene one step earlier and had already begun to check the condition of Feng Ningning's corpse. Yu Ye walked over and squatted beside the corpse, "How is it?"

"On the surface, the corpse is consistent with the characteristics of falling from a building, but whether it has been poisoned? Whether it has taken drugs such as hallucinogens, we will have to go back for an autopsy to find out."

"Then let's transport it back quickly." Yu Ye stood up, and Tang Xiaoran followed suit, "I heard that the families of the other two girls' bodies have been cremated."

Yu Ye looked at him in surprise, "So fast."

Tang Xiaoran pointed to the sky, "The police have stopped suicide. In such a hot day, the family members must hope that the child can be buried in the ground as soon as possible. This time it is mainly up to you."

Yu Ye called Wu Fei and a few people to help carry Feng Ningning's body away. After moving the body, he looked up and looked around. The girls' dormitory was in the northwest corner of the campus. Looking from a distance, the path under the woods stared at this lonely school like a hollow emerald eye.

The door of the dormitory building was facing the red brick wall. On the top of the wall lay a big black cat with golden pupils, staring at the window of 104 dormitory.

Yu Ye and the black cat looked at each other for a while, then murmured, "Did you see something?"
