Chapter 64 Song Lang
Chapter 64 Song Lang
Zhou Shi pointed to the surveillance video and said, "I was thinking before, the principal died in the office while working overtime on Sunday, and the surveillance did not capture anyone leaving. When the security guard came to work on Monday and found that the door of the building was not closed, wouldn't he be suspicious? But it turned out that the principal locked the door himself."
In the video, the principal of No. 4 Middle School locked the door after entering the gate.
Xu Yiqing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he was the only one in the building and was afraid of losing something, so he locked the door."
Du Yu shook his head and denied it: "No, I asked the police officers on duty to visit the principal's relatives, friends and colleagues. According to their feedback, the principal has the habit of locking the door. Whether at home or in the office, as soon as he enters the room, the first thing he does is to lock the door to prevent others from entering."
Zhou Shi nodded when he heard this: "There are people like this. They are afraid of their privacy being exposed and like to have private space. A locked door will give them a sense of security and create a private space."
Xu Yiqing said to himself: "So he also locked the office door himself, instead of the murderer forging a locked door secret room after killing someone... Then how did the murderer get in and leave?"
The door was locked, the windows were intact and there were security windows on the outside.
It was like suicide.
But Xu Yiqing could be sure that this was definitely not suicide. There was no murder weapon at the scene and the murder weapon had been taken away by the murderer.
Zhou Shi said: "Have you checked the words on the wall? I have seen the photos of the scene, and I am curious about what crime the murderer is accused of."
Xu Yiqing nodded secretly again. Yes, there are words on the wall. If someone commits suicide by cutting his own throat, there is no time for the deceased to write.
What exactly is the crime?
"Is today the parents' meeting for Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School?" Xu Yiqing suddenly thought of something: "When I went there this morning, I saw a lot of cars parked at the school gate, and there were also many parents in the school."
The reason for asking this is that there are only a few schools in a city. When things like holidays and parent-teacher meetings happen, word of mouth spreads, and even Xu Yiqing, who doesn't care much about trivial matters, will hear about them.
In addition to the two forensic doctors, Xu Yiqing and Lin Sheng, the Forensic Department also has other staff members, such as clerks responsible for editing files and inspectors responsible for testing chemical composition.
Xu Yiqing vaguely remembered hearing someone mention the parent-teacher conference to be held at No. 4 Middle School recently... probably the inspector.
Zhou Shi said: "The parents' meeting is on Friday, and many people in my circle of friends are discussing it...it can't be wrong."
Zhou Shi has information obsession. Whenever he sees an unread red dot on a message in his Moments, he will click on it to take a look.
She is very sensitive to these social current affairs and does not miss any details, which makes it easier to profile potential suspects.
At the same time, guessing other people's personality and current living conditions through the Moments posted by WeChat friends can also help to develop psychological analysis skills.
Du Yu frowned: "There's a parents' meeting on Friday, why are there so many cars parked outside the gate on Monday?"
A police officer nearby said, "Captain Du, we have investigated the recent rumors about No. 4 Middle School. It is said that during the summer vacation, No. 4 Middle School will conduct a comprehensive renovation of its campus facilities, update educational equipment, and introduce more outstanding teaching staff."
Du Yu said, "The school is renovated every three to five years, so it's not a big deal, right? Besides, what does school renovation have to do with so many parents going to school?"
Anyway, in his impression, every time he graduated from school, they would start building roads and buildings, and the cycle would last about three to five years.
The police explained: "This is completely different from the routine repairs. After the parents' meeting on Friday, there were rumors in the city that Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School had recently received a large sum of money, and the principal was ambitious to turn No. 4 Middle School into the best junior high school in Jiangcheng. As a result, some parents who knew the inside story started to think about the autumn recruitment, and wanted to take advantage of the low admission threshold of No. 4 Middle School to give gifts to the principal and occupy the quota for borrowing students."
Du Yu understood and said that it was a gift, which was actually a bribe.
In the parents’ minds, such things that are done for the benefit of the children are like a tsunami; one can sweep away ten, and ten can sweep away a hundred.
Finally, suspicion and anxiety formed in people's hearts——
If everyone else sends their child but I don’t, will my child lose at the starting line?
Those who gave gifts were in the minority, so people would remember those who did; when those who gave gifts became the majority, they would remember those who did not. No wonder a bunch of parents from all over Jiangcheng crowded downstairs of the principal's office early on Monday morning, before class started.
"This is too much of a coincidence." Xu Yiqing pondered, "The rumor that Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School was going to become a key middle school in the city only appeared after the parents' meeting on Friday. The principal died on Monday... and the influx of parents will cause chaos in No. 4 Middle School, as if the murderer expected everyone to find the murder scene on Monday."
Du Yu nodded and said to the police, "Go check who spread these rumors over the weekend."
The police officer replied, "Captain Du, we have known about this for a long time. It seems that this is not a rumor... Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School has the money to renovate the facilities and introduce teaching staff. This is the decision of Fumei Group and is also part of the municipal investment. In addition, our Jiangcheng government website has also announced the new teacher positions for next year. No. 4 Middle School alone has more than 50 positions needed."
"Fumei Group?"
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and then they understood a little.
It seems that I know the reason why the [Cleaner] helped a suspected mentally ill suspect to kill the school principal.
But why did the mentally ill man predict the death of Li Dusheng's henchman Song Lang?
-
With such doubts, Xu Yiqing decided to follow Du Yu to the nightclub street to find the nightclub owner nicknamed "Little Wolf".
Night had fallen, and with the weather getting warmer, the street was much more bustling than the last time they came, with an unusually large flow of people.
There were too many people, so Du Yu had to park his car at the street corner and walk in with Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi.
"The last time I came here, I was investigating Liu Zhuhua's interpersonal relationships." Du Yu sighed, "It's been several months."
Xu Yiqing continued: "It's been almost half a year. It was just the Spring Festival then, and now summer is about to begin."
Since I have been here before, I am familiar with the place.
Before entering the nightclub, Xu Yiqing heard the sound of an argument inside.
Pushing the door open, it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that there was an argument.
The little wolf has not changed much compared to last year. He is still tall and muscular, and it can be seen that he works out regularly.
The only difference was that his hair was longer, combed back with a hairband and tied into a small braid.
"Comrade, please go back. You are hindering my business here."
Xiaolang was communicating with the two uniformed policemen in a rather helpless tone: "Not everyone likes your skin. If you need to check something, please tell me, but don't stand in the store... There are many people who want to kill me, so you don't need to come here to remind me."
"Please understand, we also have official duties and cannot return to the team without the captain's instructions."
"Then can't you come in plain clothes?"
"Enforcing the law in plain clothes is more troublesome than you think."
"But now I am in trouble. After all, I am also an ordinary citizen. You people's police have already had an impact on me as an ordinary citizen... I have to do business to make a living."
Du Yu went over and asked, "What's going on?"
The police officer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the captain finally arrived, and then began to complain: "Captain, you're finally here. He's as stubborn as a bull!"
