traces of all things

"Shao Yuan, Xiongfeng." Lu Zheng frowned and shook his hands, and the photo album made a clattering sound: "Will you put the photos of your good friends under the pillow?"

Tang Shaoyuan: ...

Feel like your knees are a little sore?

Wei Xiongfeng looked a little surprised, he came over and looked over his head. Sure enough, the entire album was full of photos of Jiang Yixiang, and there were some photos of Jiang Yixiang and Han Lei who seemed very close together.

"It's not impossible." Wei Xiongfeng scratched his head: "I feel that Han Lei and Jiang Yixiang still have a very deep relationship. Maybe Han Lei did this because he missed Jiang Yixiang. My good friend passed away."

"It makes sense." Lu Zheng pursed his lips, brushed off the dust on the photo album, and put it back on Han Lei's bedside.

I've been bewildered lately, he thought.

What is this?Looking at Renji with rotten eyes?

Like the dormitory, Jiang Yixiang's office had no clues. Lu Zheng and the others searched for a long time, but found nothing.

It was already the end of get out of class time, and the whole playground became lively in an instant.

A large group of students gathered at the door of Jiang Yixiang's office, all of them looked at Lu Zheng and the others who were working inside with curious eyes.

Seeing that there were more and more people, which already affected the police's handling of the case, Lu Zheng got up and went to the principal in charge, asking him to help maintain order.

"Go back, go back, don't interfere with the police's work!"

The principal was more or less majestic among the elementary school students. Hearing his stern and slamming voice, a group of students scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

However, after all the onlookers left, some people who behaved strangely became more obvious.

"Hey, that little classmate." Geng Zhizhong suddenly put on a serious face, exuding coercion and waved to the side: "Could you please come here?"

Standing in the corridor was a timid boy, small in stature, with a hesitant look on his face. He lingered at the office door for a long time, not even noticing that his classmates had left.

At this time, seeing a serious police uncle waving at him, the boy seemed to have been greatly frightened, and ran away with a pale face.

Geng Zhizhong was thoughtful.

"Mr. Principal, who was that student just now?"

The principal frowned for a while. There were very few students in their school, and he could name most of them: "Ah, that's Jia Kaijie from Class [-], Grade [-], the student under the charge of Teacher Jiang Yixiang."

Another teacher in the same office also added: "I have the impression that this student doesn't like studying very much. Fortunately, he has a good personality and doesn't cause trouble."

Personality doesn't necessarily mean you're scared out of your wits when you see the police, right?

No matter what Lu Zheng thought, he felt suspicious, raised his eyes and looked at Geng Zhizhong, Tang Shaoyuan and the others, and nodded tacitly.

**

There is only one class in each grade of Wenyuan Primary School, and there are only about a dozen or twenty students in each class. Jiang Yixiang is responsible for the teaching tasks of the fourth to sixth grades, and all the students together are not too many.In the future, Geng Zhizhong divided people into two groups, each found a place, and began to interview Teacher Jiang Yixiang's students one by one.

"There is no way." Geng Zhizhong sighed: "These are all children around ten years old. Calling them out alone will definitely not be able to tell you the truth. Only by making him feel that this is a group activity can he reduce his vigilance."

Geng Zhizhong’s words are not wrong, it’s just that the workload becomes very heavy in an instant. Although children in their teens have the ability to think independently, their thinking is wild and unconstrained, and many children are still at the stage where they can’t sit still. To get them to cooperate with the investigation, Lu Zheng and the others almost bald.

"Oh my god, I used to see the children in other people's homes and thought they were so cute." Lu Zheng rubbed his forehead and said with emotion, "As soon as I got in touch with it, I felt that I should be spared. I can't raise them."

"Brother, don't you like children?" Tang Shaoyuan, who was in a group with him, suddenly asked.

It was obviously a very simple greeting, but Lu Zheng suddenly thought about it for a moment, and quickly coughed and turned his thoughts back: "No, it's okay, it's okay to play with them occasionally."

Tang Shaoyuan snorted, and turned his head with a smile on his face.

Lu Zheng: ...I always feel a little weird.

At this time, the next student to be interviewed arrived. This student looked different from the previous brats. His hair and fingernails were clean, and his face was serious. Although his clothes were old, he It seems that the whole person is well-groomed.

Lu Zheng lowered his head and looked at the information. This person is Class [-], Grade [-], the class leader Nie Zhi in the class led by Teacher Jiang Yixiang.According to the principal and other teachers, his grades are good, and he is one of the rare students in Wenyuan Primary School who are really studying hard instead of fooling around.

"Nie Zhi? Come on, please sit down. I am a criminal policeman from the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and my surname is Lu." Perhaps because of Tang Shaoyuan's relationship, Lu Zheng has always had a good impression of Xueba. "The obedient student unconsciously softened his tone.

"Hello, Uncle Lu." Nie Zhi was really well-behaved, and after greeting Lu Zheng, he nodded at Tang Shaoyuan: "Hello, Uncle Policeman."

How polite!

Lu Zheng's affection for him instantly exploded in his heart.

"Teacher Jiang is the head teacher of our class and the school's academic director." When asked about her impression of Jiang Yixiang, Nie Zhi said in a very orderly way: "She is the strictest of all the teachers, and other teachers don't care about us too much. , but Teacher Jiang is different, she will supervise our homework every day, and if we can’t finish it, we will write a review, and the exams and homework are more than other teachers.”

"Then do you classmates like Teacher Jiang?" Lu Zheng asked.

Nie Zhi looked a little hesitant, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's okay. I don't hate Teacher Jiang, she's just a little talkative, but other students in the class may not like her very much, and think she's meddling .”

Lu Zheng nodded knowingly, the dean is usually a natural enemy with the students.

"In the past few days when Mr. Jiang disappeared, do you feel that there is anyone in the school who seems to be a little bit wrong? For example, he is very nervous, and his behavior is very different from usual?" Mature, Lu Zheng felt that he could consider asking him more.

Nie Zhi said calmly, "No, everyone is curious about why Mr. Jiang disappeared, but our teachers change frequently besides Mr. Jiang, so it's not too strange."

Lu Zheng and Tang Shaoyuan exchanged glances indiscriminately.

In the previous conversations with the students, a few more mature and careful students mentioned that Jia Kaijie from Class [-] of the sixth grade looked a little strange, with a trance-like expression, bumped into the wall when he walked, and always had a bad complexion.

It doesn't make sense that Nie Zhi, who lives in the same dormitory with Jia Kaijie as the class monitor, wouldn't be able to tell.

Just when Lu Zheng was about to dig deeper into Jia Kaijie's behavior, Nie Zhi suddenly spoke again.

"Uncle policeman, I have actually seen something suspicious."

While talking, Nie Zhi slightly lowered his eyes and touched his knees: "I have seen Teacher Han secretly take away the presents on Teacher Jiang's desk before throwing them into the trash can."

"I also burned the credit lighter on it."

**

After Nie Zhi left, Lu Zheng fell into deep thought again.

Han Lei's pain for Jiang Yixiang's death is unquestionable. He has been a policeman for so many years, so he still has some vision.It's just that Kong Guoan mentioned that the two quarreled before Jiang Yixiang left school, and the photo album hidden under Han Lei's bed pillow, plus the suspicious behavior mentioned by Nie Zhi, all made Lu Zheng feel very subtle.

I always feel that Jiang Yixiang's death hit Han Lei too hard.

It's not like a simple good friend.

Could it be that Han Lei is the murderer?However, although her height is relatively tall among women, she still does not reach 1.7 meters, which does not match the height of the suspect displayed on the bicycle.

After drawing a heavy line under Han Lei's name, Lu Zheng decided to investigate her as a key focus.

After finishing these, a timid little figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Lu Zheng looked up and saw that it was one of their main focus, Jia Kaijie.

Jia Kaijie had a round face with reddish black, big eyes, and worn clothes. He looked a little timid, as if he was very afraid of Lu Zheng and the two of them.

Lu Zheng showed him a very sunny and friendly smile: "Is that Kaijie? Come on, young man, sit here."

Jia Kaijie's lips trembled, his big eyes blinked a few times, and he actually spoke first.

"Uncle Policeman." He asked cautiously, "How did our Teacher Jiang die?"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this. Not only was the case not revealed, Jiang Yixiang's death was too tragic, and it wasn't something that should be told to children.

"Sit down first." Lu Zheng let him sit down with a laugh: "We are still investigating the case."

Jia Kaijie let out a groan, and sat down nervously, looking around with big eyes, looking very flustered, and suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his head and looked at Lu Zheng vigorously, then lowered his head in panic. , the whole person's face became whiter and whiter.

Lu Zheng always felt that this child was going to scare him to death.

"Have you been to Xiaocang Mountain on the afternoon of the incident?"

Tang Shaoyuan, who had been helping to take notes, suddenly spoke with a straight face.

Jia Kaijie's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"Jia Kaijie, please think about it carefully. You can't lie to the police."

Although Tang Shaoyuan usually looked cold, but rarely when he was so bluffing, his voice seemed to be icy. Jia Kaijie was frightened by him, his expression changed, his hands trembled, and finally he shed tears.

"Woooooooooo—I was wrong—"

He howled loudly: "I have been——————"

"Don't cry, just wipe it first." A gentle and kind voice sounded, and Jia Kaijie, who was crying from fright, raised his head, and saw a fairy brother with a smile on his face handing him a tissue, and he froze for a moment. After a few seconds, he moved his butt back in fear again.

"Are you afraid of me? Shall I avoid it first?" Lu Zheng said kindly.

Jia Kaijie buried his head in his knees and shook his head sullenly.

"In Xiaocang Mountain, did you see anything?" Tang Shaoyuan was not as easy-talking as Lu Zheng, and his long eyes behind the glasses looked sharply at the little boy.

Jia Kaijie held back for a long time, and then said with tears: "I...I saw a strange person..."

"What do you look like?" Lu Zheng guided him: "How tall is he? Fat or thin?"

"Tall, thin." Jia Kaijie muttered, "Still very white."

Then he seemed to be fidgeting a little, and clenched his fingers: "I think..."

"He looks a lot like this policeman uncle."

While speaking, he cautiously raised his eyes, stretched out a finger and pointed at Lu Zheng.
