The case of the floating corpse in the park (Part 3)
Zhang Wanqing had excellent academic performance since childhood and was also very beautiful. After she entered university, many people pursued her.
Ma Haijun is the most ruthless one and can be described as a very filial boyfriend.
Thanks to Ma Haijun's unremitting efforts, Zhang Wanqing was moved and agreed to be his girlfriend. But the good times didn't last long. After just two months together, Zhang Wanqing wanted to break up with Ma Haijun.
As for the reason for the breakup, Zhang Wanqing only said that they had incompatible personalities and did not say much else.
On the 19th, Zhang Wanqing planned to make things clear with Ma Haijun, but Ma Haijun asked her to go hiking with him, saying that he wanted to leave some good memories before breaking up. Zhang Wanqing thought that since she had agreed to break up, it would be no big deal to just go hiking, so she agreed.
Who knew that he would never come back after this trip.
As for what happened on the mountain, I’m afraid we can only know it by catching Ma Haijun.
After reading the transcript, Shen Xingyan felt quite emotional. He was afraid that Zhang Wanqing had not expected that this mountain climbing would become her final farewell in her life.
After searching the mountain for two days, the scene of Zhang Wanqing's death was not found. The heavy rain washed away all traces.
The only hope lies in Ma Haijun.
In addition to daily logistical work, Shen Xingyan is paying close attention to the development of the case. She knew that Ma Haijun would be caught in these few days.
Finally, the news came.
Ma Haijun was caught and is on his way back.
Ma Haijun was taken to the police station three days later. The young Ma Haijun had an untidy beard and looked listless.
Wu Shilai was immediately brought in for questioning.
But Ma Haijun knew nothing and admitted nothing.
Wu Shilai and Xie Anquan were both frowning, as all they had in their hands was the testimony of Zhang Wanqing's roommate.
In his testimony, Ma Haijun admitted that he did make an appointment with Zhang Wanqing, but he did not wait for Zhang Wanqing that day.
Wu Shilai slammed the table, "Then why are you running?!"
"I didn't run away. I just went home to visit my parents."
"The school isn't on holiday, you're not visiting any of your parents!"
"My parents were in poor health, and I was afraid something might happen to them, so I asked for leave to go back."
"The Academic Affairs Office has no record of your leave."
"Oh, I was in a hurry and forgot about it."
The confession was obviously an excuse, but it made people feel helpless.
If there is no way to convict him, he must be released after being detained for 24 hours.
Wu Shilai was at a loss as to what to do and his fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
Shen Xingyan knocked on the door and came in. She looked through the glass at Ma Haijun, who was leaning on a chair and was in a slump. She said, "Can I try?"
Wu Shi looked at her for a while and said, "Dawei, go in with her."
Yang Dawei took a pen and paper and went in with her. Shen Xingyan sat on the chair and looked Ma Haijun up and down first. It was not easy to get into university in that era. He was born in the rural area, his family was not rich, and his education level was backward. He had to work harder than the children in the city.
Such a person must be smart and patient.
Shen Xingyan took out a photo and placed it in front of him. That was a close-up of Zhang Wanqing's face when she was salvaged. Even though her face was soaked and turned pale, you could still see how beautiful Zhang Wanqing was when she was alive.
In order to let Ma Haijun see more clearly, Shen Xingyan pushed the photo to his side and asked, "Do you know her?"
Ma Haijun took just one look and turned his head away as if he had been electrocuted.
Shen Xingyan continued, "I heard that you and she were boyfriend and girlfriend, and you've been pursuing her for more than a year, so you must love her very much. When she agreed to be your girlfriend, you must have been very happy.
When you go out on a date, do you hold her hand? Her hands must be slender, soft and warm. ”
Ma Haijun remained silent, but one could see the veins in his temples throbbing.
"Is her skin as soft as silk? Her hair is so long, and when the breeze blows and slides across your face, does that tickling feeling make you even more excited?"
"Shut up!" Ma Haijun glared at her, "What on earth do you want to say?!"
"After we find a body, we first have to find the source of the body, and then with the consent of the family, we will dissect the body to find out the cause of death. To dissect the body, we have to cut open the top of the head. No, we have to shave off the hair first because there may be injuries on the head.
Her hair was so long, but she had shaved it for a long time. The original black hair had lost its vitality. It was dry and dark, and there was seaweed in her hair..."
"Shut up! Shut up! Don't say anymore! Don't say anymore!" Ma Haijun covered his face and cried.
"She was only 23 years old, in her prime, and she died just like that. Have you ever dreamed about her at night? Did she call your name tenderly? Haijun? Xiaojun or Ahjun?"
"Stop talking, please, please stop talking!" Ma Haijun burst into tears, "I didn't kill her, I didn't."
Yang Dawei looked at Shen Xingyan in surprise and continued recording.
Shen Xingyan said: "But she went hiking with you."
"I made an appointment with her, but I kept waiting for her and she didn't come."
"You're lying! You knew she was dead!"
I..." Ma Haijun burst into tears again, "I didn't wait for her until dark, it was raining so heavily, and everyone looked at me like a fool. But I don't care. I think as long as she is willing to come, I'm worth it.
But she didn't come, and I was very angry. I ran from the foot of the mountain to the top in one breath in the heavy rain. I hate her, I hate that she looks down on me! I know that I am from the countryside and she is a delicate girl from the city, and I am not worthy of her. I have tried very hard, but no matter how hard I try, I can't give her what she wants.
Her going out for a meal costs me a month's living expenses. She wants to break up with me, but I don't agree. I still love her. For her, I can go out to work.
But she still wants to break up, and I want to save the relationship. The place she promised me was at the top of the mountain. I thought if we climbed the mountain again, maybe she would change her mind. ”
“What did you see at the top of the mountain?”
"I……"
"What on earth did you see?!" Shen Xingyan's tone was stern, yet with a hint of temptation.
"I...I saw...I saw her dead, she was dead!"
Shen Xingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone did not relax, "How did she... die?"
"She was lying in the mud, with no clothes on. I don't know why she died, why... I had made an appointment with her, why did she go to the top of the mountain by herself?"
Shen Xingyan glanced towards the glass, where Wu Shilai and Xie Anquan were both staring at the interrogation room. When Ma Haijun said that he saw Zhang Wanqing's body, their expressions became serious at the same time.
Shen Xingyan softened her tone, "Besides Zhang Wanqing's roommate, who else knows that you asked her to go hiking?"
"I don't know. I only mentioned it in the dormitory."
"How many people are there in the dormitory? What are their names?"
Ma Haijun mentioned the names of his roommates one by one. They all lived in the dormitory on the new campus, in a six-person room.
Shen Xingyan: "Besides you, who else does Zhang Wanqing associate closely with? I mean men."
Ma Haijun shook his head, "I don't know."
Shen Xingyan glanced at Yang Dawei, nodded to him, and they left the interrogation room together.
Wu Shilai praised Shen Xingyan greatly, "Xiao Shen, I didn't expect you to be so good at this. You defeated him psychologically."
Xie Anquan also nodded in appreciation. Why didn’t he realize that Xiao Shen was so capable before? It turned out that no matter how talented a person is, he needs an opportunity.
Shen Xingyan quickly said modestly, "I was just dreaming of a dead mouse... What should we do next?" She was very glad that she had minored in psychology.
"I have arranged for someone to investigate the social relationship between Zhang Wanqing and Ma Haijun. You and Dawei will go visit Ma Haijun's roommates this afternoon."
Guangyuan University is a key university, and you can feel the strong humanistic atmosphere as soon as you enter the campus.
Shen Xingyan couldn't help but miss her college days. She was busy studying and going to crime scenes with her father, thinking that she would become an excellent forensic doctor like her grandfather and father in the future.
I never thought I would come here. I wonder how my parents are doing in the real world.
She was in a low mood and didn't feel better until she arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.
Since we had contacted him in advance, Fang Ying, the director of the Academic Affairs Office, was already waiting in the office. Fang Ying is a slightly plump man wearing glasses. It is not glorious for someone to die in school, so he kept the news secret and dared not release it.
Who knew that the police came again? In order to minimize the impact, he called Ma Haijun's five roommates to the office.
The five college students were a little surprised when they heard Shen Xingyan say they were police officers. They didn't know that Zhang Wanqing was already dead.
Shen Xingyan took the initiative to record and asked Yang Dawei about the students.
Yang Dawei is a man in his forties, very thin, smiling all day long and looking very kind.
Yang Dawei first looked at the five students and said, "Don't be nervous, we are just asking a routine question. Do you know that Ma Haijun is in a relationship?"
All five students nodded.
Yang Dawei: "Do you know that they are breaking up?"
Some of the five people nodded and some shook their heads.
The man who shook his head was wearing thick glasses, with his hair standing up in the air and a few white hairs mixed in with his black hair. He said, "I spend most of my time in the library, and I heard about Ma Haijun's love affair from my roommates. As for whether they are breaking up, I don't know."
A fat boy said, "That's right. He is the nerd in our class. He knows nothing except studying."
The nerd adjusted his glasses with a silly smile and did not refute his classmates' words at all.
The fat boy said, "When Ma Haijun and I first started dating, I told him that they were not suitable for each other, but he didn't listen and still wanted to break up."
"That's right. Who is Zhang Wanqing? She's the little princess. You can't afford to support her with clothes and food without some money." The boy who said this was very tall, estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall. He showed some disdain when Zhang Wanqing was mentioned.
"Ma Haijun is just stupid. He buys Zhang Wanqing whatever she wants, but he never thinks that his tuition fees are earned by his parents. He still squanders his parents' hard-earned money on Zhang Wanqing. In my opinion, both of them are not good people." said the boy who was leaning against the door frame and looked nonchalant.
"Wang Bo, stop talking nonsense." The boy standing next to Wang Bo punched him. The boy had a pair of peach blossom eyes and slightly raised eyebrows, and was quite handsome.
"Don't you usually say this about him? You don't dare to say it in front of the police?!" Wang Bo rolled his eyes with a sneer.
Several boys felt a little embarrassed, except for the nerd, whose eyes were a little dull, as if their words had nothing to do with him.
Yang Dawei asked, "Besides dating Ma Haijun, who else does Zhang Wanqing interact with the most?"
Wang Boqie said, "Who knows? There are so many boys chasing after her in school. We dare not say anything."
It was still the handsome boy who glanced at Wang Bo and told him to say less.
