Chapter 16 Section 16

Su Yu interrupted Wei Pengfei's narration, and continued: "You saw Ye Xuan lying on the ground, she was hopeless. You knew this at the time, but you still dialed 120. Song Zixin quietly left at this time Bell Tower, maybe because of panic, maybe because she was afraid of being bumped by acquaintances, I think she walked away along the path next to the fence in a raincoat. And you helped her cover up the crime, when the police asked about the overturned on the grass When I was picking up my bicycle, I immediately made up the story about passing by the clock tower and bumping into Michelle Ye falling from the tower. I think the reason why the police believed your words at that time was largely due to your identity. A talented student who everyone envied , Michelle Ye's friend, how could she weave a lie to protect the murderer who killed her? People have a fixed mindset, plus your very real grief, Michelle Ye's father's aggressive words in a hurry, and that day's The heavy rain also washed away all the traces. The right time, place and people ensure that Song Zixin's imperfect murder has been concealed for ten years."

Wei Pengfei seemed to be burned: "Murder? No, officer, as I said just now, it was a mistake, a miss. I think they were all excited, maybe there was some dispute, Michelle slipped and fell when pushing each other Bell Tower. Song Zixin made an unforgivable mistake, but what will happen if I say it? It has no meaning other than destroying one more person. Besides, there is no entanglement between them, it is only because of me It ended like this. I am the chief culprit. If I am guilty, my crime is bigger and more serious than Song Zixin's." "It was for self-punishment that you chose to degenerate yourself and anesthetize yourself with drugs. Are you really free? No, you just made your poor old father sick and passed away last year." Su Yu's words sound like a The sharp dagger pierced Wei Pengfei's heart. He put his head in his hands and wept bitterly. Because the crying was suppressed, it sounded even more heart-wrenching.

Su Yu frowned and stared at him for a moment, opened the door and walked out of the meeting room, and told a little policeman standing outside the door: "Xiao Li, go and ask Captain Qin and the others to come over, bring the notebook and Book." Xiao Li agreed, and gave Su Yu a thumbs up: "Brother Yu, that's amazing, we heard it just now, how do you know that Wei Pengfei didn't ride a bicycle to the bell tower? And how do you know that the bicycle belongs to Song Zixin? You I've never seen that bike before." Su Yu smiled: "Don't look at it, the investigating police officers wrote it very clearly. It's a red women's Golden Lion bicycle."

"But men can also ride women's bikes. I've ridden my mother's bike before." Xiao Li asked in confusion. "Yes, but think about it, he and his father are the only ones living in Wei Pengfei's family. How could the two men buy a red women's bicycle to ride?" "Yes, it makes sense." "More importantly, Wei Pengfei's mother was a teacher of the Normal University before her death. They lived in a batch of old dormitories of the Normal University, in a community separated from the Normal University by a wall. There used to be a doorway from the Normal University campus area. The small gate, the faculty and staff usually go through that small gate, it is very close, and there is no need to ride a bicycle. The road leading to the library is a small hill, and it is far less convenient to ride a bicycle than to walk. Besides, it was a heavy rainy night, and there was a bicycle next to it. No raincoat was found to cover the rain. Based on these considerations, Wei Pengfei undoubtedly told a lie. Why did he hide it for the person who came by bicycle? This person is very likely to be a woman, and a woman who is very close to him. Michelle Ye has a certain relationship with a woman. Think about it, who could it be?"

Xiao Li slapped his head: "Song Zixin, besides her, I really can't find anyone who meets these conditions. Brother Yu, I really admire you. You can analyze such a complicated case in a few words." "Don't give me a high hat, go and invite Qin team." Su Yu turned around and went back to the conference room, picked up some tissues and handed them to Wei Pengfei.Wei Pengfei took it and wiped the corners of his eyes. After this release-style crying, his mood seemed to calm down a lot. After a while, Qin Yang, Wang Gang and a group of people pushed the door open and entered.After everyone sat down, Su Yu said loudly: "Now, let's reveal the whole truth about this ten-year-old case. Just now everyone heard it on the CCTV next door. One of the main parties involved in the case, Wei Pengfei, has already told The course of events. But is that the whole truth? No, far from it."

Su Yu paused, and everyone present exchanged puzzled looks. Wei Pengfei seemed to be taken aback, and stared blankly at Su Yu. "Don't be fooled, Su Yu, let's announce the answer." Wang Gang was in high spirits. Su Yu said slowly: "Actually, the answer to the mystery is very simple, that is, Song Zixin did not accidentally push Xuan Ye and fell off the bell tower. Determined. That's because she has a reason to kill Xuan Ye." "I know, rivals in love, women's love is really scary sometimes!" Xiao Li rushed to say. "It's because you men are bad, we women are not terrible, we are serious about our relationship!" He Li interjected angrily.

Qin Yang lowered his face and said, "This is to discuss the facts of the case. What are you doing nonsense? You want to have a debate and go home to argue." Wang Gang thought about it and said, "The fatal reason is in this notebook and this book that Ye Xuan left behind." As he spoke, he handed the book in his hand to Su Yu.People's eyes also focused on Su Yu's hand. Su Yu nodded and raised the notebook in her hand: "Let me read a poem from Michelle Ye's notebook to everyone first." He opened a certain page of the book, and read in a soothing tone: "The silent woman beside the mottled railing/Walking away in the mountains with an umbrella/Walk away/The reluctant figure/Disappeared in the ancestral hall Under the solemn plaque... I can only read these few sentences. This is a poem written by Ye Xuan herself. The title is "Impressions of Hongcun". The first three months. If you look through this book carefully, you will understand that this is Michelle Ye's writing notes, which are all poems written by herself. There are more than 60 poems in total, and the time span probably covers her entire university. era."

"The writing is really good. This Michelle Ye is quite talented. It's a pity that she died early, otherwise she would really be a poet." Several detectives discussed. "Brother Yu, but what does this have to do with the case?" Xiao Li asked impatiently. Su Yu continued: "I read this writing notebook carefully and found that there are such strange marks under the first forty or so poems, a heart-shaped pattern, with a black marker drawn with a diagonal line on it. Some There are two under some poems, and there are three under some poems, and the number varies." Saying that, Su Yu turned around and drew this pattern on the magnetic blackboard on the wall.

"I guess, this should be a record made by Michelle Ye. What is the record? Could it be a record of the number of times this poem was submitted? This was just a bold idea of ​​mine at first, but after reading the next twenty or so poems I firmly believe that my guess is correct. Wang Gang, please read it to everyone.” Wang Gang took the notebook and read: "The third issue of "Scholar's Magazine", the fifth issue of "School Journal", and the commemorative edition of "Campus Poetry". Ha, it seems that all of these have been published, and the date of publication is recorded here."

Wei Pengfei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interjected: "No, this record is wrong. I remember that Ye Xuan is just the general affairs officer of our Liuyun Club. She likes to write a little bit, but in my impression, she has never published it in any newspaper. As for the pattern, I have seen it before. Once when we were dating, I saw her draw this pattern on a piece of paper. I asked her what it meant, and she said that the heart represents hope, the slash represents disappointment, hope and Disappointment always goes hand in hand." Su Yu looked directly at him and said, "What a good word Ye Xuan said, it's a pity that you never really listened to the hope in her heart. Everyone, this girl, Ye Xuan, is actually a very talented poet. But she has contributed many times. The manuscript was rejected, which can be seen from the records in her notebook, just like what she said, hope and disappointment are constantly intertwined in her heart. But from the year before her death, her works have been It has been published in many magazines one after another. But it is under another name—Song Zixin."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar, and Wei Pengfei felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Su Yu picked up the "Poetry Collection of Emerging Poets" on the table, turned to one page and handed it to Wang Gang.Wang Gang took a glance, turned a few more pages, and said in amazement: "Sure enough, it is exactly the same. This "Hui Yun Emotion" is the same poem as the "Hongcun Impression" you read just now, but with a different name. Here Out of the five poems that Song Zixin selected, four of them seem to have plagiarized Ye Xuan. Captain Qin, look." Qin Yang took it, looked it over, nodded, but then questioned: "Could it be that someone really kills someone just for a few poems?" Su Yu's tone became extremely heavy: "Yes, this matter sounds incredible, but this is the tragedy of character. I think that at first Michelle Ye was willing to take the poems she wrote to Song Zixin for publication. Because she repeatedly failed in the votes , the weak part of her character has made her not have the courage to try again. At that time, Song Zixin was already the editor of the Normal University magazine, and she was also a well-known beautiful poet among Jiangcheng campus poets. Her name has become a kind of contribution. Guaranteed. It's a pity that Song Zixin may be in a creative bottleneck period at that time, unable to write any wonderful poems. Maybe Song Zixin came across Ye Xuan's poems by chance, so she offered to contribute for her to publish, or maybe it was Ye Xuan who proposed to publish the poems Handed over to Song Zixin, no matter what, they reached a certain kind of tacit understanding: one wrote poems, the other published them, like a double actor performing in front of and behind the scenes. But this balance began to be broken when Ye Xuan gradually fell in love with Wei Pengfei. Although Ye Xuan She is taciturn, but she does not lack the passion of a poet in her heart. For her first love, she loves wildly and selflessly, especially on that night, Song Zixin published a collection of poems with those poems, and made her mark in the poetry world. Amid the cheers of the crowd, Seeing that Song Zixin had everything she yearned for, it was impossible for Ye Xuan's heart not to be shocked and shocked. Everyone has heard Wei Pengfei's account of what happened afterwards. I just want to say that after that night, Ye Xuan had actually I have made up my mind to fight for my own happiness. The trigger of the incident was that Michelle Ye's father bumped into this pair who were secretly seeing each other that day. I wrote a note and passed it to Song Zixin in some way, and asked Song Zixin to go to the bell tower at night, and she planned to meet with the three of them to clarify everything. She wants to get back the honor and love that belongs to her." Xiao Li interrupted loudly: "Brother Yu, how do you know that Ye Xuan sent a note to Song Zixin that day?" Before Su Yu could answer, Wang Gang turned his head and said, "Let me answer this question, because the note was left in Xuan Ye's black notebook. Su Yu and I discovered this when we were analyzing this notebook in the office just now. .She wrote the note on the last page of the book and then tore it out because she wrote it when she was more emotional and the tip of the pen was so hard that most of the writing was printed on the next page.I have let He Li did the rubbing and computer repair. He Li, please show everyone." He Li hurriedly got up and walked to the conference table, turned on the projector, and put a thin piece of paper on the booth. It was a note with only twenty characters: "At 8:30 tonight at the bell tower, I will tell you everything and let Pengfei make the decision." Wei Pengfei, whose face was already extremely pale, stared at the writing on the screen, holding the chair handle tightly, as if he couldn't sit still.Su Yu looked at him sympathetically, and gestured for a criminal policeman to take him out first. He turned around and spoke quickly to everyone: "Song Zixin immediately realized how unbearable the situation would be for Ye Xuan if she told the truth after receiving this note. Plagiarism is the most shameful thing for a literati. She She will lose all face at school, and even the entire Jiangcheng. What will her sister who has always admired her and her classmates in Liuyun club think of her in the future? She can't imagine all this, plus knowing her boyfriend's betrayal, she is arrogant and paranoid Suddenly, she had a terrible idea to kill Xuan Ye and bury all these troubles. With this dangerous idea, she stunned Wei Pengfei and rode to the clock tower alone, and met Xuan Ye who had arrived early. The two girls met On the other hand, there was no fierce conflict at first, and they just climbed up the clock tower silently. They stood in the stairwell on the top floor of the clock tower and talked. Song Zixin might say that Ye Xuan had no evidence to prove her plagiarism, while Ye Xuan took The "Poetry Collection of Emerging Poets" and the black notebook came out, and I turned to those pages, which showed my determination. Of course Song Zixin was very annoyed, she might say that Wei Pengfei would not come, and he would choose himself instead of Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan So I put the books and notebooks back in the bag, and I was about to leave to find Wei Pengfei to ask him face to face. All this is not my guess, but what I have researched from the notebooks and poetry collections. There are faint spots of water on the left edge of these pages of the notebook. Although it has been a long time, the water has completely dried, but the part of the paper that has been soaked in water can be seen to be different from other parts. Yes. This collection of poems was brand new at that time, and the notebook was also carefully collected by Michelle Ye. The only time it was likely to be stained with water at the same time was on that rainy night. The clock tower was completely renovated by the Normal University until the year before last. The old man said that the window glass on the bell tower was seriously damaged before that, so it can be speculated that the two of them were standing by the window on the left side of the stairwell to talk, and the raindrops splashed in from the gap in the glass and splashed on the pages of the book." Xiao Li and the other young criminal policemen were really convinced after hearing this deduction, and gave them thumbs up again and again. Su Yu quickly waved his hands and continued: "It should be said that what puzzled me most in this case was how Song Zixin was able to push Xuan Ye down the bell tower. Although the two girls were one tall and one short, judging from the photos at that time, they were both Medium size, there should be little difference in strength. Even if there was a fight, it would be almost impossible for Song Zixin to push Xuan Ye down the stairs in an instant. And the autopsy report at that time showed that there were no external injuries on Xuan Ye's body, which meant that nothing happened Any entanglement. However, after I talked with the old policeman who investigated Michelle Ye's case, there was a special phenomenon that caught my attention. In addition to finding her black backpack on the grass where Michelle Ye fell from the building, she also found a A blue long-handled umbrella. Professor Ye identified this umbrella as Michelle Ye's own. It was not surprising that she came to the bell tower with an umbrella on a rainy day, but it was very unusual for her to jump downstairs with an umbrella. Who still grabs an umbrella when committing suicide? Then did the murderer throw it down? It seems not, the umbrella fell less than one meter away from her fingers. Besides, why did the murderer throw down the umbrella on purpose? ?So I asked the old policeman carefully, and he recalled a detail. At that time, the straps of the black backpack were wrapped around the umbrella handle, and it took him some time to separate them. At this time, I It suddenly became clear, and pieced together the most terrifying scene on the clock tower that night." Su Yu's words deeply attracted everyone present, and everyone listened quietly with bated breath.At this time, the rapid raindrops outside the window are like some kind of voice-over, adding a layer of tragic and terrifying atmosphere. "Ye Xuan was just about to go to find Wei Pengfei. When she turned around, Song Zixin suddenly snatched the backpack she hadn't had time to carry. Of course, Ye Xuan was shocked and eager to get back the backpack. But Song Zixin immediately opened the door, I ran to the wide platform on the top of the building. Everyone should know that the platform is square. At the top of the bell tower, there is the century-old bell below. There are half-person-high white marble railings around it. Song Zixin ran to the platform railing , slammed the black backpack to the narrow bulge outside the railing, where is the frame of the big clock, carved with very delicate patterns. The black bag couldn’t fall down there for a while, but under the strong It is also precarious in the strong wind at any time. Please pay attention, Song Zixin threw her bag there on purpose. She used to be a javelin thrower in middle school, and her wrist strength and accuracy are quite good. When Xuan Ye rushed over to see this situation, it was natural Anxious and angry. Song Zixin deliberately acted proudly on the side, in order to further stimulate her. Ye Xuan was determined to get back the books and poetry collections in the bag, so she leaned out of the railing to reach the backpack, but due to her stature, It is not tall, and its arms are not long, so it might be just a little short. So she held the tip of the long-handled umbrella with her hand, and tried hard to reach the black bag with the handle. At this time, most of her body was sticking out of the railing. , she didn't realize the danger of doing this at all. Song Zixin, who had been watching her silently behind her, this former good friend quietly approached her at this time, just like the scaring games we all played when we were young. Song Zixin just With a light push on Michelle Ye's body, she fell down the stairs without any resistance, without even a chance to struggle. The scream that Wei Pengfei heard should be Michelle Ye's utterance during the fall. This is the The last mystery of the case was about the long-handled umbrella. At that time, it was already wrapped around the black backpack, and was tightly grasped by Michelle Ye who fell down the stairs and landed on the grass together. Perhaps it was because of this that Song Zixin was not surprised. Take away the notebook in the bag. It also left us the only clue to solve the case." There was a moment of silence in the meeting room before everyone started talking. "This woman is terrible. She is so scheming!" He Li sighed sincerely. Xiao Li wrote it down in his notebook and said excitedly: "Brother Yu, this case can be used in the textbooks of the police academy. Wonderful!" There was also a smile of approval on Qin Yang's face, but he still said very cautiously: "Su Yu's analysis is very meticulous, but we still need to be thorough in the collection of evidence. Did you find Song Zixin's fingerprints on the shoulder bag?" , whether the poems in the notebook were written by Michelle Ye herself, these must be verified, and will be included in the final report in the future." Wang Gang saluted mischievously: "Yes Sir! Don't worry, we are working on these tasks at the same time to ensure that your final report will not be missed. Su Yu also suggested asking experts to do a polygraph test for Wei Pengfei, so that the case will be clear It's a nail in the coffin." Qin Yang got up and waved his hand: "That's a good idea. Wang Gang is responsible for the implementation of the polygraph expert, and it will be carried out as soon as possible. Xiao Li and He Li will follow up the fingerprint and note identification. Let's break up first, and go to your own business. Su Yu , Wang Gang, stay here for a while, and we will make a summary of the case."
