Mystery Pursuit

The meeting ended at one o'clock in the morning, and the criminal investigation team didn't go home, so they squinted in the office.

At six o'clock in the morning, Tang Xiaoran's rough voice rang in everyone's ears like an alarm clock, "Yu Ye, Yu Ye, don't sleep."

In the corner of the office, Yu Ye poked his head out from behind the computer screen, his eyes were sleepy, and his voice was a little hoarse, "What's the matter? What time is it?"

Tang Xiaoran leaned over and lifted the coat that was covering Yu Ye's head, "Six o'clock, I did a new autopsy last night, and found white fibers in the mouth and nose of the deceased. After verification, this fiber is the most common white nylon on the market. Gloves, the murderer smothered Zhou Meng to death wearing nylon gloves.

Black cotton fibers were also found in the nails of the deceased, which should have been grabbed from the murderer's clothes when the deceased was struggling.

No toxic substances were found in the body of the deceased, and he ate dinner normally before his death. "

Yu Ye rubbed his eyes, his brain was a little clearer, he got up and put on his jacket, walked out from behind the computer screen, walked to the map of R University, and circled the No. [-] dormitory and the second dining hall where Zhou Meng lived with a pen. It was found that the scene was between the two, but the position was slightly off. Putting down the pen, he said: "So the deceased didn't feel any accidents, or didn't encounter unexpected situations. To the deceased, last night was just an ordinary night. After dinner, she was active in the campus as usual, and it was getting darker, and she was killed suddenly on the way back to the dormitory."

Tang Xiaoran thought for a while, "It should be like this."

Yu Ye patted him on the shoulder, "It's been hard work, go back to rest after work, and have a good sleep."

Tang Xiaoran glanced at the office, some people were lying on the table and still sleeping, and some people just opened their eyes, "I'm not tired, you didn't go home last night?"

"Well, it was past one o'clock after the meeting last night, and everyone didn't go back."

Tang Xiaoran waved her hands and walked out, "You rest for a while, I'll go buy breakfast and bring it to you later."

The first thing Wu Fei woke up was habitually looking at his mobile phone. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the screen of the mobile phone and opened it wider and wider. "The popularity of "The Strange Case" has not gone down. suspense novel."

Cheng Xiaolu also turned on the phone to take a look, "I don't know if this author has participated in the case?"

Yu Ye took the breakfast bought by Tang Xiaoran and distributed it to everyone, and handed the steamed stuffed bun to Cheng Xiaolu. He said, "You can contact the website and find out the personal information of the author of "The Strange Case."

"OK." Cheng Xiaolu took the bun.

Wu Yuzhou wasn't fully awake yet. He squinted his eyes and stared at the computer screen in a daze. Yu Ye handed over the steamed stuffed bun and soy milk, "Team Wu, breakfast."

Wu Yuzhou raised his head, the eyes of the two of them were separated in the air, Yu Ye didn't say anything else, he put down the bun and left, Wu Yuzhou looked at his back and suddenly smiled, his awkward look really didn't look like Yu Ye.

The office was filled with the smell of meat buns. While gnawing on the buns, Wu Fei took out the evidence bag containing Zhou Meng's cell phone and handed it to Yu Ye, "Boss, Zhou Meng's cell phone, the technical side has cracked the password."

Yu Ye didn't eat the steamed stuffed bun, only drank a cup of soy milk, he took the phone, and there were a bunch of apps he had never seen before on the little girl's phone, Wu Fei stood aside, pointed to one of the apps, and said, "This app is "The Strange Case" published site."

Yu Ye doesn't read online novels, so he doesn't know much about them. He clicked on the app, and the first novel that appeared on the home page was "The Strange Case". There were many reviews and it was very popular. The matter of checking the author has been handed over to Cheng Xiaolu. After watching "The Strange Case", he exited the app and clicked into Zhou Meng's WeChat.

The first chat record was a group called Reasoning Club. Yu Ye clicked in and checked the group members. There were six people including Zhou Meng.

The last chat record was at 9:12 pm on September 6th.

Qu Chen: 【Gather at the football field at seven o'clock, don't be late. 】

Others respond with received.

Except for this news, no one else has dated Zhou Meng.

The six people in the group were likely to be the last to see Zhou Meng. Yu Ye sent a screenshot of the group members to Wu Fei, "Go to school later, these five people need to meet."

Wu Fei received the screenshot and looked at it for a while, "Inference agency? What group is this?"

Lin Jie leaned over and took a look, "Maybe it's the school club."

Wu Fei raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a club?"

"Wait until the school asks about the details, so don't make wild guesses." Lin Jie glanced at the crowd, saw that everyone had finished their breakfast, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Jie and Cheng Xiaolu went to the website to check the author's information.

Yu Ye, Wu Yuzhou, and Wu Fei drove to R University.

Wu Fei was driving, Wu Yuzhou sat in the back row, Yu Ye was delayed in reporting the situation to Zhang Ju, and he was the last one to get in the car. He held the rear door, saw Wu Yuzhou's handsome profile through the window glass, and let go of his hand instantly. , walked to the front row and sat in the co-pilot.

When the car drove on the main road, he leaned on the back of the seat and looked out of the car window. Wu Yuzhou's side face couldn't go away in his mind, and he couldn't help thinking about it, but he didn't want to get closer.

He thought to himself: Yu Ye, what are you afraid of?How cowardly.

Wanting to smoke, Yu Ye turned sideways, took out a box of cigarettes from Wu Fei's pocket, opened the lid, and pulled out a mouthpiece. Just as he was about to light the fire, the person in the back seat suddenly leaned forward, snatched the cigarette, and put it in his mouth , said coldly: "After quitting for so many years, Team Yu should stop smoking."

Yu Ye silently buckled the cigarette case and put it back in Wu Fei's pocket, thinking: Since it's not Zhou Qizheng, what does it matter if I smoke or not?

The window of the rear seat was pressed down, and smoke floated out from the gap of the window. Wu Yuzhou was smoking a cigarette and looked out the window indifferently. For some reason, whenever he saw Yu Ye smoking, he was annoyed. Appropriate, still want to stop.

Wu Fei, who didn't know why, looked to the right for a while, and looked behind for a while. The two big men were so sullen that they didn't speak much, so Wu Fei didn't dare to say more, so he speeded up and drove silently.

Arriving at school very early, the students hadn't attended class, so Yu Ye and the others went directly to Zhou Meng's dormitory. The roommates were fully dressed and ready to go out. Seeing Yu Ye and the others coming in, they sat back in their seats and waited for questioning.

"What time did Zhou Meng leave the dormitory yesterday?" Wu Fei asked.

The head of the dormitory: "It seems to be past six o'clock, and he said that he will have a meeting with the people from the reasoning agency."

"The Reasoning Club is your school's club?"

"No, Zhou Meng likes to read suspense novels and worships detectives. The Reasoning Club is a group organized by reasoning enthusiasts. Zhou Meng joined that group in her freshman year. She has a better relationship with those people than with us."

"The members of the group are all students?"

The head of the dormitory: "Well, they are all from our school, but the majors are different."

"Have you not been involved?"

"No."

"Did Zhou Meng say that besides attending the gathering of the reasoning club last night, she also wanted to meet other people?"

"No, the dormitory was about to be closed last night. Zhou Meng hasn't come back yet. We called her, but no one answered."

"Have you seen "The Strange Case"?"

"I don't like to read suspense novels. I haven't heard of this book at all. I only found out from Weibo last night."

Another girl in the dormitory said: "Zhou Meng recommended it to me. I read a few chapters, but the writing was so poor that I couldn't get it in, so I didn't read it again. Zhou Meng didn't read this book because she thought the content was good. The authors of this book are encouraged."

Yu Ye and Wu Yuzhou are two elderly men who don't know anything about online literature, so they can only listen to Wu Fei's questions from the sidelines.

"Encourage the author? You said Zhou Meng knew the author of "The Strange Case"?"

"I don't know. Zhou Meng is a fan of reasoning. The few of us are not interested in this aspect. We usually don't make many predictions with her. She sometimes talks about this aspect, and then we don't talk to each other. Later, she rarely Talk to us about reasoning."

"Does she have a boyfriend?"

"No."

During the conversation, Wu Yuzhou glanced at Zhou Meng's desk. The first row on the bookshelf is textbooks, and the second row is famous suspense novels from various countries. Except that there are no cosmetics and accessories on the desk. There is a photo frame on the corner of the desk. In the photo, three men and three women are sitting On the grass, he picked up the photo and asked, "Is this a member of the Reasoning Club?"

The head of the dormitory nodded, "It's not from our department, I don't know much about it, I only know that the president's name is Qu Chen, from the computer department, and he is quite handsome."

"How's Zhou Meng's personality?"

"It's pretty good. Don't look at her petite, like that kind of weak girl. In fact, she has a carefree personality. She is a woman. I have never seen her argue with anyone." Speaking of this, the dormitory chief's eyes dimmed for a moment, " I don't know who it is? They would do this to Zhou Meng."

"If the murderer was someone she knew, who do you think it would be?"

The three girls thought for a while, then shook their heads in unison, "Zhou Meng is a very nice person, and she will basically help if you need anything. She is currently single and has no contact with idlers in society. She is a very innocent person."

After getting a basic understanding of Zhou Meng's life, the three of them left the girls' dormitory, Wu Yuzhou and Yu Ye went to get to know other members of the reasoning club, and Wu Fei went to the radio station to solicit clues from the students on campus.

In addition to Zhou Meng, there are still five members left in the reasoning club.

Qu Chen, male, 20 years old, junior.

Wang Yaorong, male, 21 years old, senior.

Zhao Sheng, male, 19 years old, sophomore.

Liu Na, female, sophomore.

Tang Qingqing, female, 20 years old, junior.

The five people gathered in the empty classroom, and Yu Ye asked about what happened last night.

Qu Chen, as a representative of the small group, spoke first: "We get together two days a week to chat about some books or movies we have watched recently, and sometimes we also talk about studies, interpersonal relationships and other issues. In fact, we chat like friends gathering. "

"What time did you leave last night?" Yu Ye asked.

"Around nine forty-five."

"Please tell me in detail what each of you did after you left."

The two girls, Liu Na and Tang Qingqing, finished the party and went back to the dormitory together. The location of Zhou Meng's dormitory was different from theirs. When they got near the basketball court, they separated and Zhou Meng went back alone.

Among the three boys, Wang Yaorong wanted to go back to the dormitory.

Qu Chen also said that he went back to sleep. He didn't live in the school dormitory, but rented a house outside.

Zhao Sheng's situation is similar to Qu Chen's, he also rents a house outside, but lives with his girlfriend.

Zhou Meng was killed after 45:[-] after the party. Who did she meet during the meeting? Was the cause of death related to "The Strange Case"?

"Do you know the book "The Strange Case"?" Yu Ye asked.

Qu Chen subconsciously glanced at Tang Qingqing, pursed his lips and said "um", "We are all watching too."

"Zhou Meng knows the author of "The Strange Case"?"

Before Qu Chen could answer, Tang Qingqing answered, "Officer, I'm not feeling well and I want to go back first, is that okay?"

Yu Ye saw that her face was pale, and she really seemed uncomfortable, so she nodded in agreement.

Liu Na also stood up, "Qingqing, I'll go back with you."

The eyes of the other three boys stayed on Tang Qingqing until Yu Ye called out, and Qu Chen turned around and said, "She doesn't know the author of "The Strange Case", so she simply likes this book. "The Strange Case" is well written, but The author is not well-known, so it has not been popular, and we have discussed the contents of the book."

Wu Yuzhou interjected: "Since they are all fans of reasoning, who do you think is the murderer who killed Zhou Meng?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head, "We're just playing tricks, it's just a hobby. When we encounter a real case, we dare not participate. You police are the experts."

Qu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, we dare not take the case of the real case."

Wang Yaorong: "The murderer must be a reader of "The Strange Case". As for why Zhou Meng was chosen? The reason is very complicated.

The bloody eye case lost in the book took place on campus. The victim was a third-year female student who was entangled with a boy due to emotional problems, and finally died of it.

In the novel, the murderer is always regarded as a backup by the victim.

It is possible that Zhou Meng's case is also due to emotional problems, and it may be a strange reader of "The Strange Case". According to the content of the novel, someone was randomly selected from the campus.

I suggest that you read "The Strange Case" first. Since the murderer chose to commit the crime in this way, he must have a good understanding of the book, and the chosen victim must also conform to the situation of the victim in the book. "

Wu Yuzhou took the opportunity to ask, "Is Zhou Meng's love life the same as the victim's love experience in "The Strange Case"?"

While Wang Yaorong was speaking, Qu Chen shook the Coke in his hand, thoughtfully. When Wu Yuzhou asked a new question, he unscrewed the bottle cap, and the Coke spewed out and spilled on Wang Yaorong. He hurriedly took out a tissue, "Sorry!" , I was thinking about the problem just now, and I didn't notice Coke."

Wang Yaorong took the tissue, dried his Coke, and said to Wu Yuzhou, "Sorry, I don't know much about Zhou Meng's love life."

Zhao Sheng on the side bit his lip, stood up, and said impatiently: "Do you have any questions? I want to go back to class."

Wang Rongrong looked displeased, and lowered his head to wipe the Coke on his body.

Qu Chen looked at the playground outside the window, not knowing what to think.

Zhao Sheng's impatience was written all over his face, and Qiang Liu couldn't ask anything, so Yu Ye ended the conversation.

The three male students left one after another, Yu Ye and Wu Yuzhou were the only ones left in the huge study room, they looked up and looked at each other, only when Yu Ye looked at Wu Yuzhou at work, he could have nothing else to worry about, "How is it?"

"When you asked the author of "The Strange Case", Tang Qingqing immediately changed his face, and then left on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

I asked them to deduce the murderer, but Zhao Sheng cautiously refused. It could be seen that he was only cooperating on the surface, but he was actually unwilling to communicate with us further.

Only Wang Yaorong expressed his thoughts.

When asked about Zhou Meng's relationship, Qu Chen's Coke was reminding Wang Yaorong not to talk nonsense, so Wang Yaorong didn't say anything later, even this made Zhao Sheng unhappy, so he took the initiative to end the conversation.

From the reactions of those few people, it can be seen that the relationship between the six members of the Reasoning Club is not as simple and beautiful as it appears on the surface. They have hidden something about Zhou Meng. "

"If the murderer is among them, we are competing with amateur detectives. This case is difficult." Yu Yezheng said when the phone rang, and it was Wu Fei who called, "Boss, someone from my side provided clues, where are you? "
