Chapter 32 Chapter Fourteen

As the saying goes, "people's hearts are separated by their belly", if you want to judge a person's quality, you must not just look at the surface.In today's world, there are so many people who are different from what they appear to be, and as a criminal policeman, I have a deep understanding of this.Among the cases I have dealt with, there is no case where the criminal can be judged by the surface alone, because almost everyone will bury their ugly side deep in their hearts. Stop gossip here, let's do some routine self first!My humble servant, Mu Shenyu, is a policeman who belongs to the "Conspiracy Squad" that specializes in investigating weird cases.What our team needs to investigate this time is a bizarre serial murder case. There are five dead... Oh, I was wrong. Including the unfortunate Wu Yu last night, there are six people in total.The bodies of the six deceased were all discovered within less than 24 hours after they were killed, but when they were discovered, they were already shriveled corpses that had lost all their blood.

According to our investigation, Wu Yu, the father of the first deceased, Wu Hao, already knew who the murderer was, and he wanted to sacrifice himself so that we could arrest the murderer on the spot.It's a pity that God's will tricks people. When I was going to the appointed place, I received a message from Jianhua, and I was delayed for a while because of this.However, it was these hours that made us miss the murderer. Although the murderer could not be arrested on the spot, and almost all the known clues were broken, the murderer dropped a beaded bracelet when he fled. Of course, this beaded chain became an important clue for us to find the real murderer.However, this is not a string of ordinary beads, but a string of soul-fixing irons. Based on the pattern on the surface of the beads, I can be sure that this is a birthday present I gave to Jianhua when she was sixteen years old.Coupled with Jianhua's message sent at a critical moment, all the spearheads seem to be pointing at her, but I really can't believe that she will be a murderous female devil.

Although I don't believe that Jianhua is the murderer, I can't bend the law for personal gain, so I must seriously investigate the case to find out the truth and remove the suspicion for Jianhua.Of course, if Hua is really the murderer, I will personally arrest her, although I am extremely unwilling to do so. To remove the suspicion for Jianhua, I first need to figure out two things, one is why the bracelet I gave her fell from the murderer, and the other is why she sent me a message at a critical moment.The best way to know the answer is of course to ask her directly, I don't think she will lie to me, or I hope she will not lie to me.

When I came to Linan College with Zhenzhen, I saw Hua as usual. When I saw us from a distance, I smiled and waved to us, trotted up to us, and said with a breathless smile: "Brother Shen Yu, sister Zhenzhen, you Would you like to invite me to dinner again?" "What about us, I pay for it every time!" I pretended to be nonchalant, joked with her as usual, and motioned her to go to the college's restaurant for dinner. On the way to the restaurant, Jianhua suddenly asked me in a low voice: "What's the matter, sister Zhenzhen, why hasn't she spoken all the time? Are you guys having a fight?"

What Zhen Zhen thinks in her heart is always written directly on her face, she has no acting skills at all, so of course Jian Hua will notice something wrong.However, I don't want to tell Jian Hua directly, "We suspect that you are the murderer", because I really don't believe that she will be the murderer, and I am afraid that saying so will hurt her.So, I pretended to respond in a low voice: "This is our business, you little girl, don't talk too much." Jian Hua pouted: "If you don't say it, then don't say it!" "What are you mumbling about?" Zhen Zhen poked me, and Jian Hua and I laughed and continued walking.

After coming to the restaurant, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to politely ask Jianhua why he sent me a message last night, and about the bracelet.If it were someone else, I could think of more than a hundred ways to ask, but the other party is Jianhua, so I really don't know how to ask.Zhenzhen probably felt anxious seeing that I hadn't spoken all the time, so she even asked for me: "Jianhua, at around nine o'clock last night, weren't you in the evening training? Why did you send a message to Amu?" Jianhua looked at Zhenzhen in astonishment, and replied after a while: "Why, I didn't send a message to Brother Shen Yu last night! Sister Zhenzhen, please don't get me wrong." Dare she thought Zhenzhen was jealous, but this is not the case. Well, at least it won't make the scene too awkward.However, her answer is more or less suspicious, after all, I did receive a message from her.

"Did you study by yourself in the classroom at that time?" Zhen Zhen's question seems redundant, but if Huaneng proves that she was in the classroom at that time, then she has an alibi, which can remove the suspicion of the murderer.It seems that after following me for so long, Zhenzhen has become smarter. However, Jianhua's answer disappointed me a little: "I was a little unwell last night, so I didn't go to class." Zhen Zhen seemed to want to continue asking, I was afraid that she would frighten Jian Hua, so I secretly pulled the corner of her clothes and motioned her to let me speak.Then he said to Jian Hua in a half-joking and half-questioning tone: "Then you went there to catch fish last night?"

"I didn't go fishing!" Jian Hua pouted, "I really don't feel well, and I slept in the dormitory." "Can anyone prove it?" Zhen Zhen blurted out this sentence, her tone was like interrogating a suspect. Jian Hua seemed to find something was wrong in the atmosphere, and looked at me suspiciously: "Brother Shen Yu, did something happen?" I laughed quickly and said, "Nothing will happen. It's just that last night I received an inexplicable message from your number. I didn't get through when I called you, so someone got jealous."

"Who are you talking about!" Zhen Zhen stared at me viciously. Seeing our flirtatious behavior, Jianhua wiped away all doubts before, and became nervous instead, and hurriedly explained to Zhenzhen: "Sister Zhenzhen, I really didn't send a message to Brother Shen Yu, please don't Misunderstanding!" Zhen Zhen just wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but I immediately pulled the corner of her clothes to signal her not to make trouble.After she glared at me angrily, she turned her head away and said nothing.When Hua saw this, she winked at me, probably wanting to ask if Zhenzhen was angry.I laughed and said, "If you tell the truth about your situation last night, she won't be angry."

Jian Hua frowned: "I slept in the dormitory last night, nothing special happened!" "Was anyone else in the dorm at the time?" I asked. She thought for a while before she said, "Probably not. Everyone has gone to study in the evening, and I am the only one." This is troublesome. No one can prove whether she was really in the dormitory at the time, and it is even more difficult to clear the suspicion.After thinking for a while, I asked again: "Then your mobile phone was with you at that time?" "Yeah, I put my phone on the table to charge last night, no one should have touched it." She showed a confused look.

At first, I thought that I could get evidence from her to remove the suspicion from her, but I didn't expect that the more I asked, the more people would think that she was more suspicious.However, she did not defend herself, which is enough to prove that she is not the real murderer.Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. After parting with Jianhua, Zhenzhen asked me why I didn't ask Jianhua about the bead chain just now, I laughed and said, "It's not the time to ask this yet." "Then when will I ask?" Her aggressive gaze made me feel guilty for a while, and when I was about to argue, she said again: "The situation is already obvious, we just need to confirm it. If you don't want to come forward, I can speak for you." "That's not what I meant..." Unexpectedly, I would sometimes hesitate in front of her. "What does that mean!" She stared at me seriously, and took a step forward: "I don't want to see Hua as the murderer, but we are the police, and it is our duty to find out the truth and arrest the murderer!" "This..." For a moment, I didn't know how to answer her. Fortunately, she suddenly changed her tone: "Don't say I'm unreasonable, I can give you a day to investigate. If by tomorrow, you have not found any evidence that can clear Jianhua from suspicion, then let me arrest her .” Although Zhenzhen usually sings against me, she is rarely so serious. It seems that I am really too emotional this time.Although she only gave me one day, I really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so I nodded with a smirk.Now all the superficial evidence is very unfavorable to Jianhua. It is really not easy to clear her of the suspicion within today, but it is man-made. As long as we investigate carefully, we can always find some clues.However, after spending half a day wandering around the academy, we still got nothing. Walking with Zhen Zhen to a teaching building, I heard the sound of arguing inside. Although I couldn't hear it very clearly, I felt that the noise inside was quite intense.The students were already out of school at this time, so I felt very strange, so I went in to see what happened. After entering the teaching building, I found that it was a staircase room. The quarrel came from a man and a woman on the podium, and there were about ten students watching in front of the podium.The clothes worn by the man and woman are very special, the man is a Chinese tunic suit, while the woman is wearing a red cheongsam.I think the drama club is probably rehearsing! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered something that I had neglected all along, that is, the five deceased in this case had one thing in common—they were all once members of the drama club. Just when I was thinking that I might be able to find some clues from the drama club, and use this to clear Jianhua from suspicion, a girlish voice came from beside me: "Brother Shen Yu, sister Zhenzhen, are you coming to the rehearsal too?" ?” Jian Hua immediately appeared from beside me. Longevity God, I actually forgot that Jianhua once said that she also joined the drama club.Now it seems that her suspicion is even greater. While chatting with Jianhua, I watched the drama rehearsal on the podium. They seemed to be rehearsing a patriotic drama. I didn't care much about the content, but the heroine made me feel a sense of deja vu.Whether it's voice or appearance, I feel very familiar, but I'm sure I don't know her.Therefore, I asked Jianhua, "What's the name of the girl on the podium?" "Hee hee..." Jian Hua covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, instead of answering my question, she asked me, "Guess." She really baffled me by asking this question. For a girl I don't know, how can I guess the name of the other party?So I just laughed and said I couldn't guess, and let her tell me.She smiled for a long time before opening her mouth: "Actually, you have seen her before, and you know her name!" "When have I seen her?" I am quite confident in my memory, and I can be sure that I have never seen this girl before. Jianhua laughed suddenly: "Hahaha... haven't you seen him in my classroom before, he is actually Xiao Jian!" "What?" I was taken aback, and immediately observed the girls on the podium carefully.After looking carefully, I found that the "girl" was indeed very similar to Xiao Jian in appearance, and her voice was also a bit similar.However, no matter how you look at him now, he is also a girl. If Jianhua hadn't reminded him, it would be hard to imagine that he was actually a man disguised as a woman. Later, Jianhua told me that Xiaojian is very talented in acting in dramas, especially playing the role of a female character, no matter his voice, appearance, or words and deeds are all lifelike.Many people who knew him didn't recognize him the first time they saw him rehearse. Watching Xiao Jian's excellent performance, the scene of finding Wu Yu arguing with a mysterious girl in the woods by the lake that night suddenly appeared in his mind, and the more he listened, the more he felt that his voice was somewhat similar to that girl.A thought gradually formed in his mind-could Xiao Jian be that mysterious girl? This hypothesis is not impossible. At the beginning, he was excluded from the list of suspects because he fainted when he saw blood, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that this is too rash.Because I overlooked a key point in this case, that is, the deceased who was killed by the sword of Renxiao will not shed blood at all!Of course, this is just my conjecture. It cannot be concluded that he is the murderer. I have to investigate him seriously.So, I asked Jian Hua about Xiao Jian's background. "I heard that his parents are both laid-off workers. His father is now a doorman, and his mother is a cleaner. The family environment is not very good..." Jian Hua looked at Xiao Jian who was dressed in women's clothing on the podium, and slowly turned to us. Telling about him— Although Xiaojian's family is relatively poor, he has never complained about others.He has a more optimistic personality, thinking that as long as he works hard, one day he will be able to improve his home environment, so he studies hard and his academic performance is also very good. He has been fond of acting since he was a child, and he also joined the drama club when he was in middle school, and the ability to dress up as a woman was developed at that time.He originally wanted to apply for Beijing Film Academy, but I heard that the cost of going to Beijing Film Academy is very high. Although he played female roles very well, but now the competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce, and there are so many unspoken rules. Can find work.Therefore, he did not apply for Beijing Film Academy, but chose Linan College, which could provide him with a scholarship. After entering Linan College, although he studied hard, he did not give up his interest.He once said to me: "Even if there are only a few spectators, as long as I can stand on the stage and perform, I will feel very satisfied." He is the hardest worker here. His acting skills are indeed very good, even better than some stars, sometimes he loses his temper for no reason or suddenly becomes nervous, in fact, he is just joking with us, but we can't see that he is pretending at all... There is a saying that "actors are ruthless". The ancients said that opera actors are smooth and hypocritical. Although there are prejudices in it, but actors who are good at performing all kinds of life on stage, how can they distinguish the moment when they express their true feelings in daily life? ?Moreover, Jian Hua once told me that Xiao Jian had a problem with Wu Hao, one of the deceased, which made me even more suspicious of him.When I mentioned this to Jianhua, she said: "He hates the dude like Wu Hao the most, and he has had conflicts with a few boys who joined the drama club to have fun..."
