eighth story

Although it has been known from other students that Lin Jie and He Anping are dating boyfriend and girlfriend, but judging from the current clues, it does not prove that Lin Jie is definitely related to He Anping's murder.Lin Jie was a student at the school, and this incident caused a stir in the school. For the sake of Lin Jie's reputation, the police did not treat him as a suspect for the time being, so all inquiries were still being carried out at the school.Lin Jie's spirit has not been very good in the past two days. He is a senior this year and has more internships. He has also postponed these two days, and only rests in the dormitory by himself.

Qiao Yuan arrived at the school at three o'clock in the afternoon. After contacting the school, he went to see Lin Jie directly. In order to avoid Lin Jie's nervousness, the school arranged a reception room.Lin Jie came soon after receiving the news. He still seemed nervous when facing the police. There was always tea and water in the reception room. Qiao Yuan chatted with Lin Jie casually for a while before getting to the point.

Qiao Yuan said: "You and the deceased He Anping are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Lin Jie's expression was blank, his lips trembled, and then he slowly said: "...Yes." It seemed that he was very sensitive to the word "dead".

Qiao Yuan said: "My condolences go with the changes."

Lin Jie closed his eyes in pain, and said in a hoarse voice: "I... If I had known this, I would never have told Xiao An that day... it was all me..."

Qiao Yuan said: "Catching the murderer is the best explanation for the deceased. Classmate Lin, tell me what you know. As long as you can think of it, it is related to the deceased, no matter how small the details are." With the notebook in his hand, he asked, "When and how did you and He Anping meet?"

Lin Jie said: "Yes...it was my sophomore year, a hometown meeting. Xiaoan was a new freshman... Both of us are from S province. At that time, it was the fellow villagers' meeting of S province...The fellow villagers' meeting was my former student. My classmate planned it and asked me to participate, so I went, I met Xiao An at that time, and later I found out that Xiao An is also from M City, so I exchanged mobile phone numbers, but I didn’t have many contacts.”

Qiao Yuan said: "What happened later? How did you determine your relationship?"

Lin Jie said: "I... I want to go home and work there after I graduate. I'm afraid that I can't maintain it in another place, so I want to find a local girlfriend. Because our family is not in a first-tier city, and the salary level is not high, I want to talk about it. My girlfriend just wants to get married in the future. Many girls are not willing to do this kind of condition, so I didn’t plan to find a girlfriend in school... After the fellow meeting, I had a good impression of Xiaoan, but I thought she might not like her I... basically want to contact her during the holidays and the beginning of school, to see if I can go back with her... Later, I helped her buy a bus ticket, and then I gradually got to know her."

Qiao Yuan said: "Hey, what happens next?"

Lin Jie said: "During this summer vacation...Xiao An and I are both from M City. We took a bus back home during the holidays. We got along for a while after we got back and went out to eat a few times...School will start soon. At that time, Xiaoan said... that she likes me and wants to fall in love with me, so... I don't know what she likes about me, but she said that, and I like her very much, so I'm with her .”

Qiao Yuan noticed that his expression flickered when he said this, but he didn't point it out, and just continued: "When was the last time you saw He Anping? I heard that you had conflicts before she disappeared? And why did you quarrel? "

Lin Jie said: "I... the last time I saw her was probably a week ago. The reason for the quarrel was... Xiao An and his musical theater club were going to put on a show at the New Year's Eve party, and Xiao An wanted to talk to another girl from their drama club. The boy danced a pas de deux. I went to the rehearsal twice and felt that the boy was touching her. I... I reminded her not to get too close to the boy. Xiaoan said it was a dance move and told me not to think too much. Too much... But I went there again that day and found that they were all hugged, and the material they danced in was so thin... Who can resist my girlfriend being hugged by other men? Wanting to take Xiao An away, Xiao An said that I was making trouble for no reason, and even helped that man talk... I left in a fit of anger, and I haven't contacted her for a few days..."

Qiao Yuan noticed that Lin Jie's expression was mostly angry at this time, especially when he saw He Anping hugging other boys, his face was a little red, but he just continued to ask: "Then you didn't notice He Anping is missing?"

Lin Jie said: "The people in Xiaoan's dormitory came to me twice... saying that Xiaoan hasn't come back for the past two days. I know that Xiaoan has a classmate in J University who lives in a rented room by himself. Sometimes Xiaoan will go to her. I stayed with her for two days. I thought Xiao An went to find her classmate, but I didn’t think much about it. At that time, I was angry that she was helping others to speak...just...if I had known..." At the end, I was a little choked up up.

J University is a secondary art college in city A.Qiao Yuan continued: "Then do you know the names of the boy who practiced dancing with He Anping and her classmate?"

Lin Jie said: "I don't know what that guy's name is, but their musical club should know. Xiao An's classmate... If I remember correctly, it should be Li Jiayin. She and Xiao An are high school classmates. During the summer vacation We met once more."

Qiao Yuan said again: "When you were in the cafeteria last night, did you realize that it was your girlfriend He Anping?"

The expression of pain and fear appeared on Lin Jie's face again, but this time the fear was only fleeting, and he quickly denied, "No, I was shocked at the time... then... fell back again. Yeah, I didn't see it at all."

Qiao Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you like tomato and egg soup?"

Lin Jie didn't expect Qiao Yuan's topic to change so quickly, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "I like it..."

Qiao Yuan then closed the notebook in his hand.Lin Jie's answer just now could not completely rule out his suspicion. After all, the time of He Anping's death has not been finalized, and Lin Jie's corresponding alibi cannot be made.Under the premise of the quarrel with He Anping, it is a reasonable explanation for Lin Jie to kill by mistake in a moment of anger.As for the surveillance video of the cafeteria, Qiao Yuan's premonition was right, there were no useful clues to be found in it.The free soup and sterilized tableware are all around the load-bearing pillars of the cafeteria. As far as monitoring is concerned, the cafeteria itself is half a blind spot, and the cafeteria is full of people. During peak dining hours, many students go to pick up tableware, and some take bowls to serve soup. Nothing unusual can be seen from the video alone.

The people in the back kitchen of the cafeteria also said that they found nothing unusual.The personnel in the back kitchen operation room are relatively fixed. Although they wear masks at work, they are also transparent masks that cover the nose and mouth. It is almost impossible to hide strangers, so the testimony between them is quite credible. .How exactly He Anping's head got into the soup bucket is another question, but this method is not the point now.

Just now, Lin Jie provided two clues. One is the cause of the dispute between him and He Anping, which is He Anping's dance partner in the opera club, and the other is He Anping's classmate at J University named Li Jiayin.

Qiao Yuan said: "Student Lin, don't be too sad, our police will definitely give your girlfriend justice as soon as possible. It's best not to leave school for these two days, take a rest, if you want to go out to relax, you'd better find a classmate to accompany you, If you have to leave City A for something, please say hello to us first, and we can contact your parents to come and accompany you if necessary."

Lin Jie said: "...That's no need."

Qiao Yuan said, "I'll contact you if there is anything to do, and pay attention to rest." After saying goodbye to Lin Jie, he went to ask He Anping's roommate.

The girls’ dormitory where He Anping lives in Building A has a four-person room as standard, and the three roommates are not locals. The relationship in the dormitory is fairly harmonious, but because He Anping often takes time to practice dancing, the actual relationship is not as good as that of the people in the singing and dancing club. Much closer.

The three roommates are all in the same class as her. Among them, He Anping is the publicity committee member of her social class 363, and the girl named Qi Yasi is the monitor of the class. She was also the one who went to find Lin Jie after He Anping disappeared.The other two girls are named Sang Zhenzhen and Chang Nuo. Among them, the relationship between Sang Zhenzhen and He Anping is not very good, because Sang Zhenzhen has always had a crush on a senior in the musical theater club, but this senior has always shown good feelings to He Anping. , and He Anping neither explicitly refused nor took the senior's overtures seriously, and kept vaguely ambiguous with the senior all the time, which made Sang Zhenzhen feel very uncomfortable.

The focus of the question has not changed much. Qiao Yuan first asked, "When did you find out that He Anping was missing?"

It was Qi Yasi who answered this question. She glanced at the calendar on the table and replied with certainty: "It's No. 19. After class at six o'clock, An Ping went to the cafeteria with us for dinner, and then said that we would rehearse , and left again. We didn’t have classes for three nights, and we went back to the dormitory together after dinner. An Ping usually rehearses for two hours, but she didn’t come back that day when the lights were almost turned off. I called her Call, but no one answered her call."

Qiao Yuan said: "At that time, her phone was still available?"

Qi Yasi said: "That's right, there was no one answering, and finally it became 'the number you dialed is temporarily unanswered'."

Qiao Yuan said, "What about after that?"

Qi Yasi said: "I originally wanted to call her boyfriend, but I didn't know the number. Later, I contacted the people from the musical drama club, and they said that during the rehearsal today, An Ping and her boyfriend had a quarrel because of Rego, oh , Lei Ge is An Ping's dance partner, a senior in automation. They said that An Ping's boyfriend left in a fit of anger. Ping left alone, and was seen walking towards the outside of the school."

Chang Nuo continued: "Later we remembered that An Ping once said that she had a classmate from J University who was renting a house. If she left the school, she might go to her. Call An Ping again and her cell phone will be turned off. We I thought she was in a bad mood after quarreling with her boyfriend and didn't want to talk to us, so she didn't care too much. Who knows..."

Sang Zhenzhen didn't speak all the time, but Qiao Yuan noticed that when Qi Yasi mentioned Lei Ge, Sang Zhenzhen's expression was a bit unnatural, and it seemed that the senior she had a crush on was referring to Lei Ge.

He asked again: "After that?"

Qi Yasi said: "An Ping didn't come back the next day, but because it was Saturday, we all thought she wanted to stay with friends for two more days. An Ping used to go to her classmate from J University to spend weekends. We didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that she would come back on Monday. Afterwards, I called her a few times, but the phone was turned off. I don't know her friend's mobile phone number, but An Ping said that she is a fellow, and I miss her. My boyfriend might know, so I wanted to ask. If we could hear An Ping’s voice, we would be relieved. So at noon on Saturday, I went to find her boyfriend Lin Jie, but Lin Jie was very angry at the time, and he was still there. Angry with An Ping, I can't ask anything."

Chang Nuo said: "But An Ping didn't come back on Monday... We started to get a little worried. When the class ended at six o'clock, we felt that we couldn't go on like this. Zhen Zhen has classes in the evening, so I went to find them with IELTS Lin Jie. Lin Jie told us that An Ping went to live with her classmate from J University. We thought he had contacted An Ping, and told him to ask An Ping to call us... But Always……"

Qi Yasi said: "Then it was...the matter of the cafeteria, I heard early this morning that it was..."

Sang Zhenzhen remained silent, Qiao Yuan glanced at her, and said, "As far as you know, has He Anping had any conflicts with anyone? Who will she have a grudge against?"

Chang Nuo subconsciously glanced at Sang Zhenzhen.

Sang Zhenzhen coughed to cover up, and then she said: "Yes, I don't have a good relationship with her...but I won't hurt her. I have been with Yasi and the others these days, How could I have time... Even if I went to those classes by myself, there were so many people in the classroom, I would just ask someone if I was there at the time."

Qiao Yuan said, "What about the others?"

Qi Yasi said: "There are conflicts... An Ping is not a person who is often angry, she has a good temper."

Sang Zhenzhen said: "She seems to have a good temper, but I think there must be a lot of people who complain about her in their hearts. Look at her attitude towards those boys, she is always hungering. I know to be careful, otherwise Lin Jie wouldn't have quarreled with her..."

Qi Yasi whispered: "Zhenzhen!"

Sang Zhenzhen said: "I'm telling the truth, I've long thought that if she kept being so ambiguous with others, something would happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect such a thing..." After finishing speaking, she fell silent.

Qiao Yuan said: "Is she like this with many boys?"

Sang Zhenzhen said: "She won't refuse any boy's advances to her."

Qiao Yuan continued to ask: "Then how much do you know about her boyfriend Lin Jie?"

Chang Nuo said: "Lin Jie is from Anping's hometown, and it is said that he is from the same city. I only know that Lin Jie is from the medical school, he seems to be studying pharmacy... He is usually busy. An Ping just started this semester. At the beginning of school, she told us that she and Lin Jie were together, during the summer vacation, but we don’t know exactly how, An Ping didn’t want to say, we haven’t met Lin Jie a few times, usually he and Lin Jie An Ping is out on a date."

Qiao Yuan said: "Where's her J-year-old friend? How much do you know?"

Chang Nuo said: "It seems to be called Jiayin... An Ping often calls her, and I have seen her twice. She has short hair and is quite beautiful. It is said that she dances ballet."
