eighth story

Wu Qinyang had no dreams all night, and there was no class in the first period the next morning. By the time Wu Qinyang woke up, Tan Yi had already left.

Wu Qinyang climbed down from the bed in a daze, washed up, checked the class schedule, and saw that the class that will be held later was an advanced mathematics class, so he stuffed the advanced mathematics textbook into his schoolbag and went downstairs.

09:30 Even if he wanted to eat in the cafeteria, there was no breakfast available. Wu Qinyang went to the school supermarket to buy some bread to satisfy his hunger. When passing by the cafeteria, he saw a few policemen at the door, but he didn’t see Wishing or Qiao Yuan. Instead, he saw the policeman named Pingfan from afar.

Wu Qinyang didn't have a good impression of Pingfan, so he ignored him, gathered among the student team in twos and threes, and went to class.

It was the first time I saw the monitor of my class in the high math class, and to Wu Qinyang's surprise, it turned out to be a girl.The squad leader is Zhu Mingyue, she is the kind of girl who looks very active, her long hair is neatly combed into a ponytail, her leggings depict well-proportioned legs, and she is wearing a red and black checked woolen skirt with a round skirt. collared white sweater.

Zhu Mingyue took a book of computer basics and a book of mathematical analysis, walked up to Wu Qinyang during the break, and said with a smile, "Student Wu Qinyang?"

Wu Qinyang was doing the exercises at the back of the book, and when he heard someone calling him, he said "Huh?" and looked up to see Zhu Mingyue holding the textbook.

Zhu Mingyue said: "Your textbook." As he said, he put the two books on his desk, and then he introduced himself, "I am Zhu Mingyue, the monitor of class 381 of Shuwei. Qin Yang came to our Shuwei Class 381!" Applause broke out after speaking.

The students of class 381 of Shuwei had gathered around at some point, it seemed that it was a well-planned welcome party.Wu Qinyang does not resist these things. He has participated in many parties during the few months in the United States, and the atmosphere is very good. At this moment, his classmates suddenly presented him with such a surprise, and he is the kind who easily mingles with others. Naturally, under such circumstances, he would not be cold-hearted. After a simple self-introduction, he had already joked with a few more active classmates.

Zhu Mingyue said: "Tonight there is a dinner party in the class, and Chongqing grilled whole fish is just in front of the school. Student Wu Qinyang should come over to enjoy it."

Wu Qinyang smiled and said, "Hey, the monitor is so generous?"

Zhu Mingyue blinked and said, "How can I be so generous, the class teacher treats me."

It's a pity that the time between classes is not very long, the bell for class rang soon, and the students in the class also returned to their seats.The high mathematics teacher visually estimated that he was in his sixties, not too tall, and he was a very funny little old man. The content of the course was also easy for Wu Qinyang to understand.After all, there is a father who is a senior engineer with a brain that can be used as a computer. Advanced mathematics has been taught to his son by Wu Chunxing as a common solution as early as when Wu Qinyang was in junior high school. Turning over the paper full of calculus, I almost thought I went to the wrong set.

Therefore, advanced mathematics is basically a dispensable course for Wu Qinyang now, but it may still be a fortress that is difficult for other students to overcome, so most students have always taken the advanced mathematics course extremely seriously. , but today is not the case. When the teacher turns to write on the blackboard, there are always students whispering something.

Of course it was about the unexpected incident in the cafeteria last night.

Although Zhu Mingyue didn't mention this matter just now, Wu Qinyang believes that after a night of fermentation and spread, everyone in the school probably already knows what happened in the cafeteria last night.The dinner party chose grilled fish off-campus probably because of this incident. Rumors of adding oil and vinegar spread from ten to ten, and now the school cafeteria may have already been filled with demon adult meat buns, and the meat is even more collective madness. At this time, it is still fish. It's a little bit safer.

Wu Qin confusedly remembered what happened last night, and before he knew it, the first half of the class had passed, and when the bell rang, the students' discussions became louder.Those who were in the cafeteria last night had lingering fears, and those who were not in the cafeteria asked about the details of last night, which attracted other people to listen and discuss. Someone held a mobile phone and mysteriously said to the companion next to him: "Have you heard, It is said that the identity has been confirmed..."

Wu Qinyang caught this sentence in many discussions and subconsciously listened carefully.

It was a boy's voice, and continued: "I heard it's a junior, what is He Anping's name, yes, the one who danced the Latin dance at the welcome party, I heard that she is quite famous in our school... how do you know? Police It's still at the entrance of the cafeteria, holding that restored portrait, if you look it up in the school, you will know, besides, there are so many people who know He Anping..."

The boy next to him said, "He's really from our school..."

The boy holding the phone said again: "It's not over yet, the man who found the head last night is He Anping's boyfriend..."

Another voice came in: "Boyfriend? Which guy? The one who fell or the one in the suit..."

"What man in a suit?"

"You weren't in the cafeteria yesterday? Why didn't you cause it because a boy fell down? He even yelled at that time. I thought it was bumped, stepped on, or burned. Who would It’s nothing to think about in that direction.” It was a girl’s voice, “I was sitting far away at the time, so I looked back, it’s weird anyway, I don’t want to think about it. Didn’t another guy come later, look It doesn't look like someone from our school, the one in a suit, he said something to the one who fell down, and then someone went to pick it up...Which of these two men is your boyfriend?"

The boy with the mobile phone replied: "The one who said he fell... seems to be a senior in our school. I don't know who the later one is..."

Another person interjected: "The other one... I saw him come out with the police who came, and he was still talking. I guess he knew each other. I just remembered when you mentioned suits... I didn't know what was going on in the cafeteria at the time." I'll find out when I go back to the dormitory."

The girl from before said again: "Could it be a policeman? But it doesn't look like..."

The final epilogue is: "Who knows."

The school bell rang again.

Wu Qinyang's mind was still on their conversation just now, he knew that the deceased's boyfriend could not be Xuan Jue, so of course the first discoverer was Lin Jie.The name of the deceased was He Anping, and Lin Jie and He Anping were boyfriend and girlfriend... Wu Qinyang suddenly remembered the look of fear he saw on Lin Jie's face last night. Not only the discovery of the head in the soup itself, could it be that he had already discovered that the head belonged to his girlfriend at that time?But why didn't he say anything when the police came...

Did he notice the moment when Lin Jie fished out the head from the soup pot for the first time?

Wu Qinyang felt that he could not give this answer. Most people’s first impression of a corpse is fear. Put yourself in the shoes of others. When you find a corpse in a public place, your instinct is to be afraid, and you will calmly think of calling the police, but rarely. Someone will immediately confirm whether the deceased is someone they knew.Although Wu Qinyang didn't see the moment when the head was fished out, he knew from his imagination that the head soaked in tomato soup must be different from the head that hadn't been soaked in tomato soup before, but if Lin Jie didn't know that It was his girlfriend's head, so what was the "other thing" he was afraid of at the time?

Wu Qinyang still couldn't figure it out.

But he was really curious about it, just like some people are obviously terrified of horror movies, but because of that indelible curiosity, they will hide in the quilt and watch it even if they bite the corner of the quilt and tremble.Wu Qinyang tragically found that he couldn't control his inflated curiosity. When making a wish last night when he mentioned the case of dismembering the body of Nanjing University in [-], it was, and it is now, not only about what Lin Jie was afraid of, but also about what Lin Jie was afraid of. Knowing where He Anping's body went, otherwise he might never be able to have a peaceful meal in the cafeteria, and the reputation of the school might also be affected...

I don't know if my uncle knew about it.

He must have known it already, his aunt would tell him about this kind of case, besides, his own mother also called back last night.

It's better to solve it earlier, Wu Qinyang thought, by the time he finished turning these thoughts in his mind, the bell for the end of get out of class had already rang again.The students packed up their things and left the classroom one after another. At twelve o'clock at noon, it was time for lunch. Affected by the incident last night, the crowds who usually disperse into various cafeterias purposely avoided a certain place that was originally popular. The meat dishes such as chicken legs and duck legs, which can be seen in the shape of raw materials, are also better than usual, and the sales of braised pork and char siu pork have plummeted.

Wu Qinyang bought a set of vegetarian roasted eggplant and assorted vegetables. The new class arrived with no acquaintances, no one to accompany him to eat, so he took a plate and found a seat by himself.The first part of the class schedule in the morning and afternoon is ideological and moral cultivation and legal foundation. In the class at two o'clock, Wu Qinyang finished his meal and returned the plate, ready to go back to the dormitory first.

When returning to the dormitory, I had to pass the canteen No. [-], which has been designated as a restricted area. Although the school has not issued any clear written notice, I can guess that No. [-] canteen will be closed for a long time in the future. time.Wu Qinyang was still thinking about the case. It was easier for him to know some inside information than most people, and he didn't know what he was worrying about.

Maybe it's because of the feeling Lin Jie made him... or it's the unreal feeling that those bedtime stories of monsters and monsters suddenly became reality.He was thinking about calling his aunt to inquire about the progress after returning to the dormitory, but before he knew it, he had reached the door of the No. [-] canteen and was stopped by someone.

Looking up, it was the policeman named Pingfan.

Wu Qinyang's first impression of Pingfan was not that good, and he stopped him abruptly at this time, so he could only ask, "What are you doing?"

Ping Ping said: "Are you Qin Jue's younger brother?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Cousin. His father is my uncle. What's wrong?"

Pingfan said: "I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Wu Qinyang thought that maybe it was necessary to solve the case, and what Pingfan asked was about the cafeteria last night. Wu Qinyang didn't want to cause trouble for his aunt, so he answered them one by one.Finally, with a meaningful expression on his face, Pingfan said again: "The last question, how did your brother find out that the soup was wrong?"

Wu Qinyang thought that after going around for a long time, he finally came back to this question. The way he tried to cover it up was really clumsy, and he couldn't directly ask "My brother is not a person who has a good sense of smell." He pushed the question back as if he was doing Tai Chi: " Why are you targeting my brother so much, you can ask him yourself if you have the ability?" After speaking, he shook the schoolbag he was carrying on his shoulder, and he was about to leave.

Pingfan was obviously choked by his attitude, Wu Qinyang said again: "Why are you staring, you beat me up if you have the ability?"

Pingfan found that he really couldn't beat him.

Wu Qinyang left, not noticing that Tan Yi had been watching him and Pingfan not far away.

Wu Qinyang originally wanted to call Xiao Yunhe, but later when he met Tan Yi while waiting for the elevator, he dismissed the idea. When he was about to go to class in the afternoon, he saw Tan Yi wearing his very clean white coat gone.

Wu Qinyang remembered the schedule mentioned by Tan Yi last night, and knew that he would not return to the dormitory before 09:30 tonight.

Sure enough, medical school is full of busy people.

At the same time, the police station, because the identity of the deceased has been determined, so the current investigation focuses on her interpersonal relationship during her lifetime.Whether there was any grudge with someone, when did he disappear, when was the last time he was seen, who he was with at that time, and then delineate the possible death time and place of death and the range of suspects.Another important point is the whereabouts of the deceased's body other than the head. After all, no one wants to be eaten as a dish.

The deceased was indeed the He Anping that the students had rumored. She was a 20-year-old third-year student in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. She was also the main force of the school's song and dance drama club, specializing in Latin dance.Lin Jie, who was the first to find out, was indeed He Anping's boyfriend. The two were fellow villagers. They met at a fellow villagers' meeting, and they dated for about half a year.

He Anping is not the kind of girl who is naturally beautiful, but she has a delicate foundation and knows how to dress up, so she is also a little beauty in the eyes of most people. In addition, she has practiced Latin dance since she was a child, and her figure is well-proportioned and elegant. To the outside world reveals the Latin temperament that blends charming, lingering and bold and hot, so there are still many boys in the school who like her.

As early as when He Anping was freshman, as a freshman representative, she danced an opening dance with senior seniors at the welcome party for freshmen. At that time, she was considered a little red in the school.Afterwards, I met Lin Jie at the hometown meeting. The two of them were ordinary friends. I don’t know why they suddenly became acquainted with each other during the summer vacation this year.

After graduating, Lin Jie wants to return to his hometown to work, and his love is based on marriage, so he has always hoped to find a girlfriend from his hometown.He Anping can also be regarded as the backbone of the school's cultural activities, and there are always many boys who are friendly to her around her, but she has never made it clear who she has a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship with, at most they are flirting.As for why she finally chose Lin Jie, who was always quiet and not outstanding, even her friends didn't know very well. They could only guess that something happened during the summer vacation that made He Anping change her mind.

He Anping disappeared a week ago. Before he disappeared, he had a big fight with Lin Jie. Lin Jie was so angry that he never went to look for He Anping. Unexpectedly, it was he himself who fished out his girlfriend's head from the soup pot.
