"Someone deliberately erased the footprints here." Li Xun squatted above the platform that Lu Qing said, "It was easy to preserve the footprints on the cement carrier, but now the footprints have been destroyed."

Liu Zhiqin searched along the wall outside the platform. After turning a corner, he saw a dark green plastic sheet stretched out into a strange shape.

He put on his gloves, opened a corner of the plastic sheet, then opened the whole sheet, bent down to examine for a moment, and shouted: "Flower Team."

Hua Chongzheng was discussing with Li Xun, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, but he didn't see Liu Zhiqin's figure.

"Here." Liu Zhiqin appeared at the corner, beckoning, "I found the cart that Lu Qing was talking about."

The cart was full of rust, half of the green paint was peeled off, it was very ordinary, and there were a few dark brown marks on the bottom plate, like blood that had coagulated long ago.

Hua Chong immediately asked Li Xun to investigate.

"Lu Qing said that the murderer drove a tricycle away that night. This cart is not big, so it can definitely be carried on a tricycle, and carts are also very common for courier deliverers. Why didn't he take the cart away? Instead, he stayed in the A place not far from the first scene?" Liu Zhiqin stepped aside and thought, "Although it is still hidden here, it is not difficult to find it if you look carefully. He will not notice that there is blood on the floor. Now that he has noticed , wouldn’t it be better to take it away and deal with it?”

Hua Chong stared at the cart for a while, "Maybe he doesn't think it's necessary."

"Ok?"

"He made sure that he didn't leave any evidence on the cart, that we couldn't find his head from the cart."

"So confident?" Liu Zhiqin slightly raised his eyebrows, "What about the tricycle?"

"Zhang Mao and the others are investigating." Hua Chong said, "The tricycle and cart may have been stolen by the murderer for the purpose of throwing away the body. He discarded the cart at will, and the tricycle may have been thrown in a corner. Most likely on campus."

Liu Zhiqin nodded, and asked again: "Flower Team, do you think the possibility of the murderer being a student at school is high?"

Hua Chong raised his eyes, "You ask that, do you think the murderer is Zheng Qi's classmate?"

"University is a small society, and Zheng Qi is already a senior and has begun to integrate into the real society." Liu Zhiqin said: "Even so, most of his network is still in the school. The murderer threw the dismembered body on the campus of Luo University It shows that there are inextricable connections with Luo University. After thinking about it, I think the possibility that the murderer is Zheng Qi is not low."

"According to the information we have so far, Zheng Qi is very popular. He is the former chairman of the student union of the School of Architecture and a former backbone member of the painting club. He has excellent grades and is still an intern at Wanqiao Real Estate." Hua Chong paused, "Maybe In the darkness, a pair of eyes were fixed on him."

"Is Zheng Qi gay?" Liu Zhiqin asked suddenly.

"Gay?"

"I'm curious if he likes men or women."

Hua Chong was slightly puzzled, "Is this related to the case?"

"It may be related. Just now, I heard from Lu Qing that he has been pursuing Zheng Qi since last year. Zheng Qi refused, but he has always treated him well. Because of this, he has not given up and has been entangled with Zheng Qi until now." Liu Zhiqin Arms folded, "Is the relationship between them a bit strange?"

Hua Chong pondered for a few seconds, "You mean, Zheng Qi hanged Lu Qing on purpose?"

"That's right. On the surface, he treats Lu Qing preferentially, knows how to measure, and knows how to deal with things. He is a more popular 'warm man' nowadays. But from another darker perspective, he may enjoy Zheng Qi's pursuit." Liu Zhiqin's voice was slow, with almost no emotion, just discussing the matter, "We have already asked some of his classmates, and they didn't mention his sexual orientation, which basically means that he is not gay, at least he hasn't shown it. Then let's assume that he is a straight man and likes girls. I thought about it, a straight man was confessed by the same sex and pursued him for more than half a year. He just didn't agree to be with Lu Qing, but he always acquiesced in the other party's pursuit, and even Lu Qing took it to his home. Lu Qing thought it was Zheng Qi's gentleness, but as a bystander, I think it's not normal."

Hua Chong stared at the road ahead, "If Zheng Qi has no intention of liking the same sex at all, then he is undoubtedly playing Lu Qing maliciously by doing so."

"Even for a boy, this kind of behavior is relatively bad. I can't think of why he would do it for the time being." Liu Zhiqin followed Hua Chong's eyes and looked at it. During this time period, most of the people passing by on the road were delivering food. and courier tricycles. "This doesn't match his character and behavior. According to his classmates, he shouldn't be this kind of person."

"It seems that we don't know enough about him." Hua Chong looked away, "But don't worry, gather the clues first. I'll go to Luo University."

The grove in the North District has been blocked, but there are still students going there together, standing outside the security zone and looking around.

The students at the school were killed and dismembered, and their bodies were thrown on the campus. The management of Luo University was much more nervous than the students, especially the leaders of the School of Architecture.

Hua Chonggang said that he wanted to know about the situation with Zheng Qi's friends and former roommates, and the hospital immediately recruited seven or eight people.

There was some unhappiness and embarrassment on the faces of these people.

Hua Chong inquired one by one, only to realize that almost all of these people were called back from the internship unit by the dean himself. They were questioned by other criminal police before, and now they have to face Hua Chong again.

"I'm not his friend, I just lived in the same dormitory as a freshman." Henry Zhang shook his legs impatiently, "Is he okay, he is very popular with girls, I don't know anything else."

"If he is popular with girls, has he talked about friends?"

"Talk about it, several of them, and then they were all divided. We are very busy with our majors. This year, we are busy with schoolwork and practice, so many pairs are divided."

"Now think about it, what unpleasant things happened when you lived with Zheng Qi?"

"Unpleasant?" Henry Zhang frowned vigilantly, "Hey, don't you suspect that I killed him? I haven't returned to school for half a month. It wasn't that something happened to him. The old hospital forced me to come back to cooperate with the investigation , I didn't even know he was dead."

"It's just to let you know how he is." Hua Chong clasped his hands together, "Since you have been called back, don't be so impatient, and answer a few questions for me carefully. Your dean will naturally let you go back when it's over."

"Fuck!" Henry Zhang was impatient, but helpless, he simply leaned back in his chair, "You asked me to recall what unpleasant things happened to him, I really can't remember it for a while. He has good grades and good looks It's okay, but if you're a classmate, there's no discomfort in getting along, but if you're a roommate, it's just a little... how to put it, it's just a little uncomfortable."

"What did he do that made you uncomfortable?"

Henry Zhang scratched the back of his head twice, and thought for a long time before saying: "He likes to carry it a little bit, and it's not particularly obvious, and he can detect it when he lives together."

Henry Zhang's so-called "uncomfortable" directly became "hypocrisy" here in Liu Gan.

Liu Gan is also Zheng Qi's roommate. Unlike Henry Zhang, he and Zheng Qi had fought because of a little friction.

"I forgot exactly what happened." Liu Gan said: "At that time, I was just entering school, and I was so angry that I fought him after a few words. Henry Zhang and the others pulled the two of us apart. I calmed down for a while and felt that I was wrong, but I loved face and couldn't save my face and apologize to Zheng Qi. In the end, he came to me and said, "Brother, I'm sorry", and asked me to I went to a restaurant outside the school to have a meal. I am a person, and my anger comes and goes quickly. Besides, it was indeed me who did it. I apologized. Why can’t he spend money to invite me? I paid the bill before."

"and then?"

"I thought about it and let it go. From now on, everyone will be good brothers and roommates, and he said what he said." More than three years later, Liu Gan still had obvious disdain on his face, "Guess what? ? He actually went to the BBS to scold me and spread rumors about me!"

"BBS?" Hua Chong asked, "Which BBS?"

"Just like the campus exchange forum of our Luo University, the kind that every school has." Liu Gan took out his mobile phone and dialed a few times, "Here, that's it. I don't use it very much now. from time to time."

"What rumor did he make about you?"

"I said that I was in three boats, playing with women all day long. He also said that my family has no money, and I only look for rich female classmates, and fall in love with them just to spend their money! Fuck, I am angry when I talk about this. I At that time, there was only one talk, and he simply made it out of nothing. Because of this, my girlfriend even quarreled with me, and almost broke up. I am not what he said on the BBS at all, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Henry Zhang.”

"Then how will he solve the rumor in the end?"

"Solve the fart! It's nothing!"

Hua Chong fiddled with a pen, "Let's let it go? You said you were angry first, but now you can't let it go. Classmate, this is a bit contradictory."

Being asked such a question, Liu Gan still didn't feel nervous, but just "hummed" in disgust, "If I knew who was pouring dirty water behind my back then, I'd fuck him to death!"

"You didn't know then?"

"I don't know! The BBS can speak anonymously. It's not that the administrators can't see who posted the posts. I was only a freshman at the time, and I didn't know any administrators. Fortunately, there are many such posts. Follow the trend and scold me today, and move to scold others tomorrow. After half a week, the post will sink, and no one will remember that I play with women. I was promoted to senior year last year, and one of my brothers became an administrator. Once Talking about what happened back then, I had a whim and asked him to help find out who hacked me. When he checked, it turned out to be Zheng Qi!"

Hua Chong stroked his chin, thoughtful.

"There are some things. When you feel angry when it first happened, you must ask for an explanation. After a long time, you will not be so impulsive. When I found out that it was Zheng Qi, I had broken up with my girlfriend for more than two years. The feeling at that time was—— —Ridiculous, funny, not very angry when angry." Liu Gan shook his head disdainfully, "You said that Zheng Qi is a big man, he dared not confront me directly, apologized kindly, and was going to treat me to dinner, Then he turned around and scolded me online, what does it look like?"

"You didn't question him?"

"No need." Liu Gan waved his hand, "He has already moved out, and we usually see each other in class. Why should I talk to him about this old sesame story? Just take it as a lesson, and just take a detour from now on."

After asking all afternoon, Hua Chong was somewhat surprised.

Let Zhang Mao and others get to know Zheng Qi in a general way before, and the feedback they got is-excellent, good grades, good popularity, and strong ability.

Now talking with students who are familiar with Zheng Qi, I found that Zheng Qi is not so "perfect".

It is a fact that he has good grades and strong ability, otherwise he would not be able to get a scholarship every year, let alone get into Wanqiao Real Estate.But if you are popular, you have to put a question mark.

"It seems that 'good popularity' is just an appearance." Liu Zhiqin brought two boxed lunches, broke open chopsticks and handed them to Hua Chong, "In addition to Liu Gan, two other people mentioned Zheng Qi's hypocrisy, but they didn't give specific details. example."

Hua Chong took the boxed lunch and chopsticks, but didn't eat them right away, "Zheng Qi scolded Liu Gan on the campus BBS when he and Liu Gan got back together again. He may have done similar things. Liu Gan discovered it too late. The urge to revenge is gone, but what about the others?"

Liu Zhiqin got up and said, "I'm going to watch Zheng Qi's other speech records on the BBS."

"No rush." ​​Hua Chong grasped his arm reflexively, without letting go, "It's been a busy day, let's eat first."
