Escape From the Library

【Innocence Defense-10】

Regarding Zhu Xiaoting's sudden diarrhea, Yue Xingwen didn't think about "she was drugged" at first, thinking that the murderer was hiding by the side and waiting for an opportunity. Seeing Zhu Xiaoting leave, he went to kill Liu Jiajia.

It now appears that the murderer was premeditated.

Yue Xingwen followed up and asked: "When you and Liu Jiajia went to the beach to take pictures, there was still unfinished food on the table, right?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded: "Yes, there are a lot of skewers that I didn't have time to eat."

Yue Xingwen said: "The murderer has been eyeing Liu Jiajia for a long time, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity of this law school group outing to kill her. He saw you taking pictures at the beach, and the murderer secretly drugged your food to make you have diarrhea and leave the beach If there is no one around Liu Jiajia, the murderer can directly sneak into the tent and kill her, drag her into the sea, and pretend to die by drowning."

Zhu Xiaoting bit her lip and said, "I was also surprised at the time. Gaga ate the same food as me. Why is she okay? I ran to the toilet more than a dozen times in one night... so someone drugged me on purpose?"

Yue Xingwen said: "These are all our conjectures. At present, we have identified the source of the potassium cyanide that poisoned Liu Jiajia and the suspect who had been in contact with the poison. We need to find a more powerful evidence of."

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up and said, "Thank you. If you didn't come to me, I wouldn't know what to do. After I was taken to the police station, I was in a daze. You asked me about many things, and I didn't know what to do. Remember..."

Lan Yarong said gently: "This is what a defense lawyer should do. You just need to trust us."

Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously: "Well, the only ones I can trust now are you!"

Lan Yarong said: "The truth about the beach case will be revealed soon. Since Liu Jiajia died of poisoning, and you are an ordinary college student in the School of Translation and Translation, it is difficult to obtain the toxin such as potassium cyanide. Find out the source of the toxin. Find the murderer. The most difficult thing at present is the murder case in the dormitory, there is too much evidence, and it is very unfavorable to you."

Yue Xingwen took out a sorted document, which listed the evidence he knew so far, and said, "Look carefully, the relevant evidence that the police asked you to prove that you are the murderer, are these?"

1. The murder weapon was a fruit knife purchased by Zhu Xiaoting, and only Zhu Xiaoting's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon;

2. Xie Xiangqin called Zhu Xiaoting for 30 seconds before his death; sent a WeChat message saying "There should be a break between us";

3. Roommate Mao Yue witnessed Zhu Xiaoting holding a sharp knife and Xie Xiangqin lying in a pool of blood; after Mao Yue screamed loudly, at least 5 witnesses saw this scene;

4. The skin fragments from Xie Xiangqin's nails of the deceased were genetically identified and matched with Zhu Xiaoting. When Zhu Xiaoting was brought back by the police on the day of the crime, there were scars on the back of her hand, which was consistent with the judgment that "the deceased scratched her";

5. The boy Zhu Xiaoting had a crush on, Zou Yijia, was the deceased’s current boyfriend. Zhu Xiaoting had many conflicts with the deceased in life. The two had quarreled many times. Zhu Xiaoting had a motive for killing;

6. Zhu Xiaoting lives in dormitory 703, and has the dormitory key in her hand, so she can easily open the door and enter the house to commit murder;

7. No footprints of a third person other than Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting were found at the scene.There were only fingerprints of four roommates in the dormitory. At that time, roommate Mao Yue was the witness, and roommate Li Huijuan was not in the dormitory.

Zhu Xiaoting looked at the pieces of evidence, and her face became paler. She nodded and said in a low voice, "The police have asked me these questions too. With so much evidence, is there any hope for me to be cleared?"

Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong looked at each other and said, "We will do our best to help you."

From the police's point of view, the evidence that Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer is overwhelming.

These evidence chains all show that: Xie Xiangqin called Zhu Xiaoting and sent WeChat, and Zhu Xiaoting returned to the dormitory. During the dispute between the two, Zhu Xiaoting killed impulsively, failed to deal with the scene, and was caught by the returning roommate.Such inexperienced criminals who leave a lot of evidence at the scene are also very common in reality, and it is very easy to solve the case.

Yue Xingwen and the others are "God's perspective". The library told them the content of the exam, and they knew that Zhu Xiaoting was not the murderer, and they had to defend her.However, the police in this world do not have a God's perspective. Judging from the evidence currently available to the police - Zhu Xiaoting is the only murderer.

She has a motive for killing, a time for killing, a complete process, murder weapon, and chain of evidence, and there is no doubt that can be reversed.

Zhu Xiaoting also knew that the current situation was not good, she choked up and said: "I know the evidence is against me, I was very confused at the time, when I opened the door and saw Xie Xiangqin lying on the ground, I subconsciously went to save her, I ran to her side She was still alive at the time, she grabbed my hand and seemed to want to talk, it was that kind of feeling like grabbing a life-saving straw, can you understand?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "I can understand. She was not dead at that time, she knew who the murderer was, wanted you to save her, and wanted to tell you the real murderer, but she had lost too much blood and was speechless. Her nails scratched the back of your hand because her last-minute desire to survive gave her a little bit of strength, and instead created the illusion that you were fighting her and she scratched you."

But the police would not believe such an explanation.

The murderer's fingerprints were not left on the deceased's cell phone, and the deceased had phone calls and WeChat records with Zhu Xiaoting, plus so many witnesses, it would be difficult to be convincing if he said "this was deliberately arranged by the murderer".

Lan Yarong said softly: "Don't worry, think about it carefully, have Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin ever had conflicts? Or, do you know the other three roommates in Zou Yijia's dormitory? Do they have a crush on Xie Xiangqin?"

Zhu Xiaoting didn't expect Blue Green to mention Zou Yijia suddenly. She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said: "Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin should have a very good relationship. Xie Xiangqin would talk to him on the phone every day before going to bed, and even act like a baby to him. We chatted for two hours. By the way, Zou Yijia even played games with Xie Xiangqin."

Yue Xingwen immediately grasped the key: "What game?"

Zhu Xiaoting said: "They are playing a mobile game, a game of pushing towers with 5 people. I don't know the details. The 4 people in Zou Yijia's dormitory and Xie Xiangqin often play black games with five people, sometimes until the early hours of the morning. Three or four o'clock. I heard from Xie Xiangqin that the boys in Zou Yijia's dormitory are all good at playing games."

Yue Xingwen asked suspiciously: "On the day Xie Xiangqin's accident happened, four people in Zou Yijia's dormitory were playing games together, didn't you bring her?"

Zhu Xiaoting shook her head: "I don't know about that. Xie Xiangqin should be very good at playing games. I often see her mobile phone screen turn gray and be killed by the opponent. She always wins with those boys."

Yue Xingwen quickly wrote down this important point, and knocked on Ke Shaobin in the group: "@ke shaobin check in detail what games the four people in Zou Yijia's dormitory are playing. It's best to find out their game accounts and aliases."

Ke Shaobin replied immediately: "No problem! I can play all kinds of popular games, and I will find them to hack tonight."

Yue Xingwen put away his phone and asked, "Zou Yijia, what do you think of his personality?"

Zhu Xiaoting said: "He is a very cheerful and talkative boy. He often helps us carry buckets of water upstairs. We have girls in our major who go to buy computers, and he will also help carry things. He is a very enthusiastic junior. Everyone likes him very much. .”

Yue Xingwen: "He often comes to your girls' dormitory?"

Zhu Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying: "He often just helps us carry water. The female dormitory uses drinking fountains and bottled water, and the bottled water is very heavy. Many familiar boys will help us carry water. The auntie of the dormitory Watch them carry water, and let them in."

Lan Yarong reminded: "Don't put on the filter of admiration to look at Zou Yijia. You like him, maybe it's just superficial. Xiaoting, you are likely to be prosecuted by the police for intentional homicide now. Even if you don't learn You should know that you have passed the law, right? If you cannot be cleared of suspicion, you may be sentenced to death!"

Yue Xingwen also nodded, and said: "Yes, be more sober, Zou Yijia may also be the murderer."

Zhu Xiaoting was dumbfounded: "Him? How could he kill Xie Xiangqin... Don't they have a good relationship?"

Yue Xingwen: "You asked Zou Yijia yourself, are they in a good relationship?"

Zhu Xiaoting was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I, I just judge by myself, because every time Xie Xiangqin mentioned Zou Yijia, he looked very sweet, and the two of them talked on the phone every day."

Lan Yarong asked: "Does she know about your crush on Zou Yijia?"

Zhu Xiaoting said with a pale face: "Yes, she saw my diary once..."

Lan Yarong said: "So, on the premise of knowing that you have a crush on Zou Yijia, she showed that the two of them are very affectionate in front of you, maybe it's just a little girl's show off mentality. She got the boy you can't get. It indirectly proves her excellence. Even if she quarrels with Zou Yijia, she won't quarrel in front of you, so I'll give you a chance, understand?"

Zhu Xiaoting suddenly realized: "It makes sense! No wonder she always calls Zou Yijia in front of me."

Yue Xingwen took out his notebook and asked while jotting down, "Do you know his roommate?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded: "Yes, his roommates are all our professional juniors, one of them has a very stable girlfriend, and the other two are single."

Yue Xingwen: "The two singles, do you understand their specific personalities and characteristics?"

Zhu Xiaoting said: "Zhong Jian is the class monitor of their current class. He has a very cheerful personality and has a very close relationship with Zou Yijia. He is the tallest in our major. He is close to 1.9 meters tall. Besides playing games, he also loves sports, such as basketball. It's very good, but because there are too many pimples on his face and he looks a little ugly, no girls chase him..."

Yue Xingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and continued to ask, "Where's the other one?"

Zhu Xiaoting said: "Ji Xiaohui's personality is relatively introverted, his appearance is very gentle, and his height is about 175. He is a top student in our major. However, his family conditions are not good, and he has been working part-time and studying. I also helped him find a job at school. Because we were together I worked part-time in the Academic Affairs Office, and I have a good relationship with him."

Yue Xingwen wrote down these names, and seeing that the time was almost up, he and Lan Yarong got up and left the police station.

After walking out of the police force, Yue Xingwen found an empty place to discuss with Lan Yarong: "What do you think, Senior Sister?"

Lan Yarong folded her hands on her chest, and thoughtfully said: "The beach case is not difficult to solve, tracing the source of the poison will quickly locate the murderer, Chen Kaiming and Lin Xuefei are a couple, I personally prefer the girl Lin Xuefei to do it." At that time, Zhu Xiaoting and Liu Jiajia were taking pictures on the beach. She passed by deliberately. Zhu Xiaoting asked her to help take a group photo. After the shooting, she could take the opportunity to sneak into the group of law school students, find Zhu Xiaoting's seat, and give Zhu Xiaoting dipping sauce. Put laxatives in."

Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement: "Well, there were more than 90 students in the law school at that time, and everyone didn't pay much attention to a strange girl. As for the motive of the murder, it was probably because Chen Kaiming couldn't let go of high school. The goddess who had a crush on Liu Jiajia at that time, regarded Liu Jiajia as Bai Yueguang, and Liu Jiajia may have been mentioned during the relationship. Lin Xuefei was not as good as Liu Jiajia in all aspects, so she felt jealous, so she wanted to get rid of this Bai Yueguang in her boyfriend's heart ?”

Lan Yarong said: "This kind of motive makes sense. Of course, if Chen Kaiming committed the crime, he had a crush on him for many years and couldn't love him. If he couldn't get it, he would just kill him. This kind of motive is also in line with the logic of criminal psychology."

Yue Xingwen said: "The murderer should be among these two people. Go back and check the on-duty records of the laboratory of the School of Chemistry, or ask the students of the School of Chemistry, whoever of them has been assigned by the teacher to get the medicine can lock the real one. fierce."

The "poison killing" modus operandi of the beach case is special after all, and relatively speaking, it is easier to solve puzzles.

It was the dormitory case that gave Yue Xingwen a headache.

Since there is no evidence left, it is still difficult for them to find the real culprit.

What made Yue Xingwen even more depressed was that at this moment, a library prompt popped up in the floating frame of the two of them at the same time: "The police have gathered all the evidence to prove that Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer, and they will soon submit it to the procuratorate for review and formally file a public prosecution."

Lan Yarong opened her eyes wide, and looked at the notification in the floating frame again: "So fast? It seems that the police have already identified Zhu Xiaoting as the murderer?"

Yue Xingwen said seriously: "We have to hurry up, the library has expedited the process of this case!"
