In the public office area of ​​the Criminal Investigation Detachment, Ji Lin and Tang Chu were watching the video of the interrogation of Qian Shu just now.

"Tang sir, Mr. Ji," Wan Forensic's little assistant walked over quickly, speaking quickly, "The tuning fork found in the Qian Shuche conformed to the previous basic speculation about the murder weapon, the luminol reacted, and the DNA comparison Consistent with Shen Xi's results, it can be basically determined that the tuning fork in Qian Shuche is indeed the murder weapon that killed Shen Xi!"

"Stable!" Tang Chu raised his hand and patted the little assistant's shoulder, "Go back and tell Lao Wan, I'll treat him to a big meal when this case is solved!"

The little assistant responded with a smile, turned around and left quickly.

As soon as he left, another little policeman came behind him.

"Tang sir, Teacher Ji," the little policeman pushed his glasses like the bottom of a wine bottle, and said seriously, "According to Qian Shu's confession, at around eight o'clock in the morning on April 4th, he was driving in Shen Yin outside the Yashen Conservatory of Music. At the loop turntable, I met Han Yang, so I took Han Yang along the way and went to school together, after checking the surveillance of the deep sound loop turntable, I found that Qian Shu's confession was true."

"Very good!" Tang Chuyi clapped his hands, "Let's invite Han Yang to the bureau for tea!"

The little policeman took the order to retreat, Tang Chu turned his head to look at Ji Lin, and couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Ji, you are so awesome, how do you know that the one who rides the money book car is not his favorite student, what is his name?" , Lu Mengting?"

Ji Lin took a sip of the freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee, shook his head, and said calmly, "I don't know."

Tang Chu was taken aback for a moment, then let out a "ah".

Ji Lin added the second half of the sentence unhurriedly: "I just know that no matter whether Lu Mengting has taken Qian Shu's car or not, Qian Shu will not tell."

Tang Chu was even more stunned now. He picked up the water glass and poured a big mouthful of ice water, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Yes! I remembered, what you said earlier, you think Qian Shu and Lu Mengting are not just Teacher-student relationship... Then, what kind of relationship can it be...?"

Ji Lin didn't answer directly, but looked sideways at Tang Chu, and suddenly asked, "What's the name of your crush?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Lin's channel would suddenly switch from crime reasoning to emotional home. Tang Chu stayed for two seconds before blurting out: "Hatano Yui!"

Probably shocked by the masculinity of Tang's deputy captain, Ji Lin's handsome face, which is always gentle and polite, was very rarely numb for two seconds.

Two seconds later, Ji Lin didn't comment, turned around and stopped a little policeman who happened to be passing by without saying a word.

This little policeman is in love. Apart from work every day, he never leaves his girlfriend when chatting. Even Ji Lin, who seldom pays attention to other people's private life, has heard a little bit about it.

"Xiao Wang, I take the liberty to ask you a question." Ji Lin's lips curled up in a gentle arc, "May I ask your girlfriend, what's her name?"

The little policeman was slightly taken aback, wondering why Teacher Ji would suddenly ask him this, but a happy smile appeared on his face instantly, and he sweetly replied: "Qianqian, Yang Qianqian."

Ji Yan's smile remained unchanged, and he praised politely: "It sounds good, you are a good match."

After saying this, he turned to look at Tang Chu, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Deputy Captain Tang, did you hear that?"

Tang Chu vaguely felt that he had realized something, he put down his water glass, and quickly flipped through the interrogation notebook beside him.

One minute later, Tang Chuyi clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I understand! When we called Qian Shu over for questioning last time, at the very beginning, when we asked him what was the name of the female student in his office, His answer was: Mengting, Lu Mengting. This is exactly the same as what Xiao Wang said subconsciously just now!"

They all said a relatively intimate title first, and then added their full names.

Ji Lin nodded, his thin lips moved slightly, and was about to continue to say something, when Tang Chu touched the back of his head and said again: "But Teacher Ji, I don't think this is absolute..."

While talking, he glanced around the public area, and immediately locked on to Ruan Tian, ​​pointed at him, and said half-jokingly: "For example, you ask me now, what is the name of the girl who works in our team? I might answer Xiao Ruan first, and add her name Ruan Tian later, but does this mean that I like her? Obviously impossible, right!"

Ruan Tian didn't know why she was suddenly Q, but when she heard Tang Chu's words, she immediately rolled her eyes and said loudly, "Tang sir, you must not like me!"

"Bear boy..." Tang Chu sneered, "I'll be your big dreamer!"

"You're right," Ji Lin interrupted the naive exchange between the two with a gentle voice, and said gently, "Only based on this, it really can only show that Qian Shu is very familiar with Lu Mengting, so when he asked about Lu Mengting's name Sometimes, Qian Shu’s first reaction would be like this, but this kind of familiarity seems to make sense in the relationship between the teacher and his favorite student, so this is just one of the points I have paid attention to.”

Tang Chu straightened his expression and hurriedly asked, "What else?"

"And last time, when I was interrogating Qian Shu," Ji Lin tapped lightly on the table with his fingertips, and continued, "I specifically observed Qian Shu's expression when he mentioned Lu Mengting, especially when he mentioned Lu Mengting's appearance. When he was outstanding, Qian Shu unconsciously showed a very fascinated expression."

The moment the word was uttered, Ji Yan didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly paused for a moment, he rubbed his fingers lightly, and then continued: "This expression represents a natural looking up perspective, and it doesn't fit a person at all. Teacher, the pride you should have when you mention your favorite student, on the contrary, it is very similar to the expression you had when you talked about Hatano Yui just now, do you understand what I mean?"

With an overly gentlemanly face and an overly gentlemanly tone, Ji Lin read out the five words Hatano Yui without any waves, which was really too disobedient. Tang Chu coughed twice in embarrassment, and took another two mouthfuls of ice water , and then said: "I understand, I understand... Actually, Mr. Ji, you don't have to use me as an example..."

Ji Yan smiled, and added: "I just learned that Lu Mengting did not appear in the surveillance, which further corroborates my guess. There are two possibilities that she is not in the surveillance. One is that Qian Shu lied before. In fact, Lu Mengting's He didn't go to the House of Music at all at night, but we have ruled out Qian Shu's direct suspicion of committing the crime, so there is no need for him to lie about this..."

Tang Chu had already figured it out, and he took the conversation: "Another possibility is that Qian Shu's original intention may be to cover up the improper relationship between the two, for example, when Lu Mengting had other classes, Qian Shu wanted to call She went to the House of Music, it must be inconvenient to go through the front door at this time...so she was given a key to the back door, and on the night Shen Xi was killed, Lu Mengting chose to go through the back door for some reason!"

"That's right," Ji Lin nodded, "But at present, we don't know what the reason is. It may be as you just guessed. When Lu Mengting was called to the Music House that night, she might still have classes. She skipped class and went there secretly, so she went through the back door to avoid being seen by other teachers and classmates, or it might just be because she happened to be closer to the back door at that time, which was more convenient, of course it was also possible..."

Tang Chu rushed to answer again, and his tone sank two points: "It's also possible that she deliberately avoided monitoring."

Ji Lin was noncommittal, but said in a gentle voice: "Let Xiao Ruan go to school to find her again to see if she is in good health. If she is, I want to see her as soon as possible."

After all, Lu Mengting is a girl, and she asked for leave and didn't go to class. She stayed in the dormitory, so it was naturally inconvenient for Ji Lin to go directly.

"Did you hear that, Xiao Ruan?" Tang Chu turned to call Ruan Tian, ​​"Your idol teacher Ji wants you to find Lu Mengting now!"

Ruan Tian immediately jumped up from her seat, "Got it! Teacher Ji, I'll go right away!"

"Look," Tang Chu smacked his lips, "This girl is so double-standard every day that it's so obvious that she's never been so active when I call her out..."

Ji Lin smiled lightly and said nothing, Ruan Tian turned her head and made a face at Tang Chu, then ran to the elevator.

Unexpectedly, when the elevator door opened, she was about to bury her head in the rush, but she was caught off guard by a tall, thin figure.

Unexpectedly, someone was rushing towards him, Wen Dong was also startled, subconsciously took half a step back, and then raised his hand to support Ruan Tian's shoulder, "Be careful!"

Ruan Tian raised her head in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Xiaowen?"

Wen Dong withdrew his hand and smiled at Ruan Tian, ​​"Good morning, I'm here to find your Teacher Ji."

Hit by Wen Dong's too-beautiful smiling face, Ruan Tian raised her hand and rubbed her face, regained consciousness just before the elevator door was about to close, quickly squeezed in, and said loudly to Wen Dong: "Teacher Ji is inside, Mr. Xiaowen, just go in directly!"

Wen Dong replied "Thank you" and watched the elevator door close completely before turning around and walking inside.

Inside, Tang Chu was still discussing with Ji Lin: "You said that if Lu Mengting is the murderer, then it is very likely that Qian Shu will know about her... er, unreasonable thoughts about her and cover her up? "

"This possibility is not ruled out," Ji Lin said rigorously, "but I personally think the possibility is relatively low, because if Lu Mengting is really suspected, and Qian Shu knew about it from the beginning and decided to cover it up, then from the beginning, he would The name of Lu Mengting should not be revealed, after all, Lu Mengting has not been captured by surveillance cameras, if he doesn't tell us, we still don't even know the existence of this person."

Tang Chu nodded, and was about to say something more, when Ji Lin seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly looked sideways in the direction of the elevator.

Before Tang Chu had time to ask, he saw a familiar figure approaching from afar at the other end of the elevator.

"Damn it..." Tang Chu said in shock, "Mr. Ji, is it because your hearing is too good, or you have a telepathic connection with Mr. Xiaowen!"

Ji Yan smiled, but his eyes still fell on Wen Dong who was getting closer and closer, and he asked instead: "What do you think?"

"Telepathy!" Tang Chu laughed loudly, "It's definitely telepathy!"

After he finished speaking, Wen Dong had already walked up to him.

Wen Dong didn't hear the previous relationship, but only heard the words "telepathy" that Tang Chu said at the end. Naturally, he didn't expect it to be related to him. He raised the corners of his lips and greeted the two with a smile: "Officer Tang, Ji Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, good morning," Tang Chu responded first, and then looked at Ji Lin with a little doubt, "You recruited Mr. Xiaowen as a freelancer again?"

In the concept of early Tang Dynasty, Wen Dong helped them analyze the case and provide them with ideas without charging any fees.

But Ji Lin didn't answer, he didn't even look at Tang Chu, he still only looked up at Wen Dong, borrowed Tang Chu's words, and smiled meaningfully: "Mr Xiao Wen, are you here to do white work again? "

Wen Dong shook his head, smiled and handed the handbag in his left hand to Ji Lin, with a natural tone: "I'm just here to return Mr. Ji's coat."

For some reason, he changed his style today. He wore a wide-sleeved khaki sweater jacket, which neutralized part of the usual coldness. He even changed his perfume to a fruity scent, which is not sweet and greasy. Two points of student anger.

However, as he stretched out his hand, the sleeve of the sweater jacket naturally lifted up, revealing a silver metal chain on the wrist of his left hand that seemed to be very out of tune with today's style.

Ji Lin's gaze fell there, and he retracted it with just one glance.

He closed his eyes suddenly, and opened them again, but there was still no difference.

Reaching out to take the handbag from Wen Dong's hand, Ji Lin said politely: "Mr. Xiao Wen was bothered, and even made a special trip for this."

He looked calm, as if he didn't see the chain on Wen Dong's wrist at all.

On the contrary, Tang Chu let out a "wow" and exclaimed, "Mr. Xiaowen, what is this in your hand? Is it a bracelet? It's so cool!"

Wen Dong flicked his wrist twice, then retracted it, his sleeves hung down, covering the chain again.

"It's not a bracelet," Wen Dong replied, his eyes fixed on Ji Lin's face for a moment, then he moved away, and said jokingly, "This is... shackles."

The shackles that lock the prey to prevent the prey from escaping.

Ji Lin looked over suddenly.

For a moment, the light in his eyes was astonishingly bright, with an eagerness that could almost engulf the person in front of him.

However, it was still only a very short moment.

Tang Chu was also taken aback, but before he could ask any more questions, a human voice suddenly came from the elevator room, and two little policemen came towards this side with a boy.

The boy was wearing a black peaked cap, black sweater and black trousers, his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his figure, he didn't seem to be too tight.

Tang Chu immediately realized: "It's Han Yang!"

As he spoke, he had already stood up, ready to launch a new round of inquiries with great vigor.

But as the boy got closer, he saw Ji Lin raised his eyebrows, and unexpectedly, he said four words in a low voice: "I've seen him before."

That's right, we Dongdong are brilliant hunters who always appear as prey!
