God of unknown origin, please don't ask [criminal investigation]

Somewhat strange.

The woman's name is Xiang Na, she came from Baoyan, and was introduced by her tutor to stay in the school to study for a doctorate. She was in the same class as Zhou Jiayi when she was an undergraduate. The students laughed and complained behind their backs, but she had very good grades, and she had published a short story and won many awards, but considering her personal image, the school asked someone else to accept the award on her behalf.

And this other person is Xiang Nana.

The two look alike, and because of this reason, they became acquainted after going back and forth.

"Actually, I think the police's statement about her falling from the building is not credible. First of all, regarding the graduation thesis, the suspected plagiarism is a rumor. The truth is that the thesis did not meet the instructor's expectations and was asked to change it; then Or, Zhou Jiayi is timid? She is very small. Watching a horror movie can make her cry, and she said that she is afraid of heights. She felt dizzy when she saw the second floor. Couldn’t she take the initiative? Climb up the clock tower; finally, she said I have planned to travel abroad with my boyfriend after graduation, and I am still making serious plans to read strategies, all in all, I personally think that the possibility of her committing suicide is very slim."

There is a very important clue here. Zhou Jiayi is afraid of heights. She doesn't dare to look down on the second floor of □□ meters, let alone a building of more than 50 meters like the clock tower.

"There is one more thing. We discussed before. If she had to commit suicide, what method would she choose? I remember very clearly. She said that she would choose to jump into the sea. Maybe there is something she is obsessed with in the sea... the old ruler , Cthulhu or something, I don’t? I understand it very well, but she said that jumping off a building is too ugly, she is already ugly and so on.”

A girl who is afraid of heights and would choose to jump into the sea even if she commits suicide, walks up a bell tower of more than 50 meters just because she quarreled with her roommates. It doesn't seem to be convincing.

"How is the relationship between her and her boyfriend? Is there any? Is there any trouble? Make up."

"Absolutely not, because she called her boyfriend in the morning when she fell from the building, and made an appointment to have a picnic at Zhongxin Lake the next day."

"Is there any abnormality in her mood before she fell?"

Xiang Nana shook her head: "It's the same as usual, she is the kind of very sunny and strong girl, so let me break my head if I want to? I can't figure out why she committed suicide."

Xiang Nana pondered for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "One more thing, Zhou Jiayi is very timid and very afraid of ghosts. She said that she had seen the ghost of her dead grandmother when she was a child, and she also encountered many things that cannot be explained by science. phenomenon, so watching horror movies has never been her part."

Although I don't know whether these clues have anything to do with the case itself, Wen Xichun still records everything.

"Thank you for the clues you provided, no? But this place is very dangerous, what are you doing here?" Wen Xichun raised his eyes.

"Oh, today is Zhou Jiayi's birthday? I suddenly thought of her, so I just walked here."

"You have a good relationship with her, and you even remember your birthday." Wen Xichun said casually, "No? Excuse me? Sorry, we are going to conduct an on-site investigation now, so please leave for a while."

Nodding to Nana, she hugged the book in her hand tightly, her eyes wandered to the concrete steps again, and after a final glance, she slowly went downstairs in the drizzle.

Seeing that Tong Si was still pouting over there, Wen Xichun was busy making footprints modeling, Wen Xichun sighed, and waved to him: "Come here."

When Tong Si heard this, he put down his hands. He came over to work.

"Do you know the biggest difference between falling from a building by accident or being pushed by others and falling by suicide?" Wen Xichun asked mysteriously.

Tong Si knows that there are exams.

He walked to the edge of the roof, squatted down slowly, and gently stroked the steps on the edge of the roof with his fingers: "The difference is that those who fall from the building caused by others or accidents often have a very strong will to survive. Subconsciously grab everything you can grab at hand?"

Wen Xichun smiled and squatted down with him?:

"Look, this?."

Below the edge of the roof, there are three very obvious white scratches. If you don’t use a magnifying glass, you can’t see them clearly. It's very dangerous, the bottom is the abyss, most people don't even think about it.

Tong Si moved the DSLR closer and took two photos.

"Looks like nail scratches."

"So why am I sure that Zhou Jiayi did not commit suicide? This is the evidence. She had a strong sense of survival at the moment she fell from the building, so she subconsciously grabbed the edge, but due to the excessive speed and the impact of her weight, only There were three scratches from top to bottom, with one end neat and the other not neat."

Tong Si nodded: "No? That's right. If you commit suicide, you will face the downstairs. Physically speaking, it's not possible to leave scratches in this place, so the possibility of regret before committing suicide is also ruled out. .”

"At that time, she should have fallen to her death with her back facing the stairs. Assuming someone forcibly pushed her down the stairs, there might be no traces of struggle. To take a step back, a person who? Pushed down, the perpetrator seems to have to consider his own safety, so the reason for the fall is not because he was pushed down."

"That means stepping on the ground." Yao Jingrong stood up, took off his gloves, and slightly brushed the hair on his forehead that was wet by the drizzle.

"Zhou Jiayi has a fear of heights. She definitely won't? Maybe she will take the initiative? When she came to the rooftop, she stepped on the air, so..."

The sudden, weird monkey's cry resounded through the roof. The sound was really harsh enough to interrupt Wen Xichun's thoughts, and even made him stagger and almost fell down.

"Can you change the ringtone of your mobile phone? Even a good person? He's going to freak out." Wen Xichun stabilized his figure and glared at Tong Si angrily.

"I'm sorry? Sorry, I'm calling from the bureau." The kid didn't feel guilty about almost causing someone to fall off a tall building. He apologized twice and hid aside to answer the phone.

But it was this small act? A thought suddenly broke into Wen Xichun's mind.

"Do you remember? Remember, I told Nana just now that Zhou Jiayi is very timid and very afraid of ghosts. If she wants to force a person who is afraid of heights to the rooftop, there must be something that frightens her to do so."

Yao Jingrong looked towards the small door leading to the rooftop, and raised her sharp eyebrows slightly: "You suspect that someone is pretending to be a ghost to scare her."

Wen Xichun nodded slowly:

"It was very dark at the time, and Zhou Jiayi was very afraid of that factor that frightened her. She was panicked and her vision was not clear, so she stepped into the air and fell to her death. This explanation, isn't it? It is much more reasonable."

"Reasonable is reasonable." Yao Jingrong looked up, "But if Yun Xiwei is the one pretending to be a ghost, she can't walk back to the dormitory within 1 minute, right? Zhou Jiayi fell from the building at eleven o'clock, and Yun Xiwei appeared in the dormitory The time is also eleven o'clock."

Tong Si didn't understand: "So we wronged Yun Xiwei? Is it all just a coincidence?"

"Since we know that Zhou Jiayi is afraid of ghosts, the person pretending to be a ghost must know her. I will check all her classmates back then, and find out who?

The cold wind ruffled Wen Xichun's hair, covering his firm eyes.

****

Colleagues from the General Bureau of Criminal Investigation thought that Wen Xichun and the others were probably crazy. They were scolded by Deputy Director Yu just because of Zhou Jiayi's case? It was bloody, not to mention that there was Director Lu suppressing them, and they didn't even want to eat? No? One by one, I pulled out the files of all Zhou Jiayi's classmates back then, and called everyone to ask them to come to the police station for investigation.

You know, many of these people are no longer in Huiyuan, and some have even gone abroad. Are you really angry when you hear this absurd order from the police station? Call me, and start scolding Wenxi through the phone line Chungou takes mice? Mind your own business.

But Wen Xichun didn't do anything else, he was just stubborn, terribly stubborn, and if he didn't come, he would notify the police station where they were located to ask them to assist in the investigation.

This project has been rushed for a week, and it can be regarded as the collection of statements from all the students.

Among the more than 50 people, half said they were not familiar with Zhou Jiayi, they didn't know that she was afraid of ghosts, they didn't say a few words, and most of them couldn't give proof of their presence.

But knowing that she is afraid of ghosts and unable to provide proof of her presence, there are only three people, one is Xiang Nana who has met before, she was staying in a hotel in the center of Huiyuan City because she participated in the competition, and the other Two?, a boy and a girl, rented off-campus with their boyfriend and girlfriend at that time.

"Actually, I'm more curious about Xiang Nana, why did she keep looking at the concrete steps at that time, what did she care about there?" Wen Xichun stared at the computer, flipping through Xiang Nana's profile Record.

Wasn't Yao Jingrong juggling? He took out a small round box filled with chocolate beans.

He took out two, walked quietly behind Wen Xichun, and prepared one before he could. The tiger went down the mountain and stuffed chocolate beans into Wen Xichun's mouth.

Is it cold? Ding was stuffed with two jelly beans. Wen Xichun didn't realize it for a while, and swallowed it without thinking.

Wen Xichun: "...Are you? It's a debt."

"No? Yes, I just saw that you have been thinking about the case. I am afraid that you will use your brain too much. Eat some sweets to replenish your brain." Yao Jingrong said very sincerely, so there is no room for doubt.

Wen Xichun glanced at him, but said nothing.

Did Yao Jingrong not get the response he wanted from the other party? He seemed a little bit reconciled, and put his hands on the back of Wen Xichun's chair with a slight commitment, smiling:

"Let's go eat crayfish tonight."

"Sorry, busy and not interested in a bug that eats dirty trash for a living."

Wen Xichun still had the same cold expression, as if this person was born? Didn't he know how to laugh? In fact, Yao Jingrong didn't see him either? He laughed sincerely several times.

But his tight little face still looks slippery, white and tender. It's hard to imagine that this is the face of a 27-year-old man. It always makes people want to kiss Fangze.

Yao Jingrong moved closer, his light-colored pupils reflected his face.

Slowly, and a little closer.

"Can we check... what are you doing so close to?" Turning his head, the lips that had been magnified several times almost stuck together, Wen Xichun alone? Ji Ling even took the chair back half a meter.

puff-

The heart suddenly beat violently.

Yao Jingrong smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved a little amorously: "Crayfish."
