Guo Dang is a fat man, no wonder his nickname is Lantern Boy.

Cheng Jin confirmed to him whether Xu Quan was playing at his house at 6 pm the day before yesterday, and he said, "Yes, he played mahjong at my house from 3 pm until the next morning."

"Who are they playing with?"

"A few of us, and some other people," Guo Dangdao, "Anyway, as soon as someone leaves the table, someone will take over, and there has never been a break in the table."

Cheng Jin thought, Xu Quan's alibi was chosen too well. He chose a group of itinerant people to be his witnesses. It is entirely possible for him to sneak away for a while without being discovered.

He asked: "Isn't Xu Quan always on the table?"

Guo Dang: "It's time to leave the table."

"Did he ever leave your house when he left the table?"

Guo Dang thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I should be here all the time, eating, drinking and messing with my house."

"Has he really never gone out? Think about it again. It rained heavily the day before yesterday. If he had gone out, his clothes and shoes would be somewhat wet."

"Wet?" Guo Dang was inspired to recall some memories, "Oh, I remembered, his shoes got wet, and he wore my slippers later. He should have gone out."

"What time did he leave?"

"I don't know, but he must have gone out before dinner, and he was there during dinner."

"What time did you have dinner?"

"Seven or eight o'clock."

Cheng Jin showed Guo Dang the shoes that left footprints in the room on the fifth floor of the Academic Affairs Building: "Did he wear these shoes the day before yesterday?"

Guo Dang thought back: "Yes, these shoes are not waterproof, and they will squeak when they walk in the water."

Cheng Jin asked again: "He canceled his mobile phone number at 9 o'clock the night before yesterday, did you know about this?"

Guo Dang: "Yes, he called someone to cancel the number in front of us. He said he never used that number so he wanted to cancel it. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"

"Isn't his account given to Lin Yunzhu?"

"Really?" Guo Dang looked like he didn't understand the situation.

"Yes, that number was originally used by Lin Yunzhu." Cheng Jin said, "Lin Yunzhu fell from the building at 6 o'clock. When did you and Xu Quan know the news?"

Guo Dang: "When I went out for breakfast the next morning, I heard someone talking about her."

"Xu Quan was there?"

"Yes." Guo Dang said, "He has a good relationship with the girl surnamed Lin. He was very sad to hear that she jumped off the building, and he ate less breakfast than usual."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jin asked, "Did he eat a lot of dinner the day before?"

Guo Dang thought for a while: "He didn't finish eating. The box lunch we ate the night before, he said it was too unpalatable."

"Have you finished eating?"

Guo Dang patted his belly, and asked Cheng Jin with actions: What do you think?

Cheng Jin: "You said he has a good relationship with Lin Yunzhu, does he like Lin Yunzhu?"

"It doesn't seem like he likes big breasts. He told us that the girl is very poor. If you encounter something, you can help her." Guo Dang finished stroking his stomach, "Can I order takeaway here? I pay for it myself."

"Are you hungry? It's not too long before dinner, right?" Cheng Jin looked down at the time and found that he had unknowingly chatted with Guo Dang overtime, and it happened that the conversation was almost over, so he quickly ended the conversation, "You can click Takeaway, you can talk to the police outside."

After going out, Yang Simi asked: "Now, do you want to meet Xu Quan's other friends?"

"Not yet." Cheng Jin frowned slightly, "But judging from Xu Quan's own reaction and what his friend said just now, I think he should have gone out at 6 o'clock the day before yesterday."

Yang Simi poked his eyebrows: "Don't think about it. Aren't you going to meet Ying Xingrong?"

"Yes, let's go." Cheng Jin took Yang Simi's hand off and pulled him forward.

The two came to the next door to the interrogation room where Ying Xingrong was. Ye Lai, Bu Huan, Lao Li and others were all here, and the two sides greeted each other.

Old Li said: "I just came back and wanted to find you, but they said you would come over soon, so I just waited here."

"How?" Cheng Jin talked to Lao Li while looking at the other side of the one-way glass, and saw Ying Xingrong sitting numbly in the interrogation room.

Lao Li: "We asked along the road next to the school, and no one remembered Zhao Zhe, but the owner of a small shop remembered Zhao Zhe's car."

"Just remembering the car is not enough," Cheng Jin said.

Old Li: "We're going to go to the school tomorrow to ask if anyone has seen Zhao Zhe in school between 5:20 and 6:20."

"Okay." Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi, "Simi, let's go."

Pushing open the door to enter the interrogation room, Cheng Jin pulled out the chair for Yang Simi, and then sat down himself.

"Ms. Ying, good evening. You said before that you had never met Lin Yunzhu before she fell from the building, but now we have seen the video of your meeting, so why did you lie to us before?"

"Yes," Ying Xingrong's voice was a little hoarse, he coughed twice, and said in a clearer and louder voice, "It's like this, after school in the afternoon she came to my office and said she wanted to talk to me, let I went to meet her on the fifth floor. I didn't want to go, but I saw her Moments: 'I'm passing by, you continue', this sentence made me wonder if she is not in a good state, so I still Upstairs."

"I'm passing by, you continue" is the last Moments post by Lin Yunzhu, which is considered to be her last words.

"What does this sentence mean?" Cheng Jin asked.

Ying Xingrong: "I asked her when I went upstairs, and she said it meant 'reconcile with the past and start afresh'."

Cheng Jin was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be so positive.

"Continue talking." Cheng Jin said, "You went upstairs, and then, what did she say to you?"

Yang Simi: "Confess to him."

"..." Cheng Jin signaled Yang Simi not to rush to answer with his eyes, then looked at Ying Xingrong, "Really? She confessed to you?"

Ying Xingrong nodded.

What he said was that Lin Yunzhu confessed his love to him, but he declined.

——In the video, there was a follow-up to the scene where Lin Yunzhu jumped into his arms, and he pushed Lin Yunzhu away.

After that, he left the fifth floor, and then he heard that someone had jumped off the building, so he ran out and saw that it was Lin Yunzhu...

Later the police asked him if he had seen Lin Yunzhu before she fell from the building, but he dared not admit it, so he lied and said he hadn't.

Cheng Jin: "Did she commit suicide because you rejected her?"

"I don't think so." Ying Xingrong defended herself, "Her life is not going well, and she may treat me as a straw—because I care about her more, but I can't be with her, she I also know... I should persuade her more, I should ask her to go downstairs together, I shouldn't leave her there alone..."

"So you mean that she wanted to commit suicide in the first place," Cheng Jin said, "Why did she want to commit suicide?"

Ying Xingrong: "How should I put it, although most people think it's the school's problem, but I think it's mostly family factors, and her family puts a lot of pressure on her.

"Her parents always told her that the family will rely on her in the future, and their family is like a mountain on her shoulders. She has no childhood, she has been a small adult since she was a child, and she will not have her own life in the future, because she has to Prioritize the needs of parents."

"You have empathized with her, and your family's situation is the same as hers?" Yang Simi asked.

Ying Xingrong hesitated for a moment, then said, "My parents are indeed somewhat similar to her parents."

"You don't have your own life either?" Yang Simi said, "Your career—you are a teacher because your parents let you be?"

Ying Xingrong's silence should be the default.

"Your parents asked you to marry your wife?" Yang Simi asked another important matter.

Ying Xingrong remained silent.

Yang Simi said, "Your life is a tragedy."

Ying Xingrong looked at him and nodded sincerely, as if he had finally found someone who could understand him.

Cheng Jin looked at them and interrupted their communication: "Teacher Ying, just now you said that you went downstairs after rejecting Lin Yunzhu, did you go back to the office?"

Ying Xingrong: "No, I went to smoke. After I finished smoking and returned to the office, it wasn't long before I heard someone outside say—someone jumped off the building."

"Then you went out. After you went out, did you see anyone or anything that caught your attention?" Cheng Jin asked.

Ying Xingrong shook his head: "I was in a daze at the time, I couldn't see anything except Lin Yunzhu lying on the ground..."

Cheng Jin showed him the photos of Xu Quan, Zhao Zhe and Xie Mingda: "Do you know these people?"

Ying Xingrong looked back and forth several times, and finally said: "I don't know, who are they?"

"It's someone Lin Yunzhu knows." Cheng Jin said, "Has Lin Yunzhu told you about her relationship status?"

"No... What's her relationship status?"

"Oh, I forgot, with you, she admires you and won't talk about these things with you." Cheng Jin said, "How do you get along with each other every day?"

Ying Xingrong was full of suspicion: "...get along like ordinary teachers and students."

"Really? But someone saw you hugging before." And the person who saw it was Ying Xingrong's own son.

"That was a misunderstanding, it's just that she twisted her foot, so I helped her up." Ying Xingrong frowned.

Cheng Jin looked at him, and didn't get to the bottom of his ambiguous relationship with Lin Yunzhu, but said, "Let's talk about what happened the day before yesterday. Besides you, did Lin Yunzhu invite anyone else to meet on the fifth floor?"

"I don't know, she didn't say. It is said that the last person she met was a girl, right?" Ying Xingrong asked.

In order to verify the testimony of eyewitness student Xiao Su this morning, Cheng Jin arranged for Zhuang Lulu and several girls to stand in a row in the corridor on the fifth floor of the Academic Affairs Building for her to identify. Many people have seen this scene.

Cheng Jin: "No wonder you are not panicked, because you know there is a 'bottom' behind. However, you said that you went back to the office after smoking, but it is also possible that you didn't go back, but went to the fifth floor again? "

Ying Xingrong was stunned for a moment, and said, "I didn't, I went straight back to the office after smoking!"

"Are there any witnesses?"

Ying Xingrong reacted quickly: "You said I went up to the fifth floor again, do you have any witnesses?"

"I'm not targeting you on purpose, I just want to clarify the truth." Cheng Jin softened his voice a little.

Ying Xingrong: "I want to find out the truth more than you. Have you found out who that girl is? Could she be the one who secretly took pictures of me and Lin Yunzhu?"

"...?" Cheng Jin was stopped by the question, but it was not impossible.

He originally suspected that the person hiding in the back room was Xu Quan, but what if that person was the girl Xiao Su saw?

When Lin Yunzhu and Ying Xingrong met, the girl hid in the room and secretly photographed them. After Ying Xingrong left, she walked out of the room and came to Lin Yunzhu...

At this time, the door of the interrogation room was knocked, Cheng Jin got up and walked towards the door, he heard Yang Simi say behind him: "We are the only ones left, do you want to talk about your life?"

"..." Cheng Jin turned around and saw Yang Simi looking at Ying Xingrong.

After closing the door of the interrogation room, Cheng Jin looked at Ye Lai who was knocking on the door. Ye Lai said, "Qu Jiaxing called and said he was on his way to the police station. He said that he could testify for Ying Xingrong, and he could prove that Lin Yunzhu fell from the building. Ying Xingrong was not present, Lin Yunzhu's death has nothing to do with Ying Xingrong."

Cheng Jin was surprised, and was a little speechless for a while. "...He's on his way?"

"Yes."

Cheng Jin: "Then wait for him to come."

"Yes. Bu Huan went to the gate to wait for him."

"I didn't expect him to keep something hidden from us." When talking to him in the morning, Cheng Jin thought that success had opened his heart.

"Probably they don't want to bear a person's life."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin turned to look at the door of the interrogation room, where Yang Simi and Ying Xingrong should be chatting about their lives. "Go, go and see how your teacher Yang does psychological counseling."

He walks to the "live room" next to the interrogation room, and Ye Lai follows him.
