The case of the floating corpse in the park (Part 4)
Yang Dawei and Shen Xingyan looked at each other and stood up. "Let's stop here for today. If you remember anything, you must contact us as soon as possible."
"Did something happen to Ma Haijun?" asked the fat boy.
David Yang: “It’s still uncertain at this point.”
Wang Bo: "What do you mean by unsure? Did something happen to him?"
"You could say that he needs your help." The case was still under trial, and Yang Dawei had no intention of saying more. "Anyway, you must tell us anything you remember, even the smallest details."
"Ma Haijun has never come back since he went out on the 19th. Could he be... dead?" The speaker was the nerd, and he spoke hesitantly.
Shen Xingyan glanced at him and said nothing.
Yang Dawei just sighed, thanked Fang Ying, and left with Shen Xingyan.
When leaving, Shen Xingyan glanced at the five boys. Their expressions were different, some were worried and some were scared, but the nerd had no expression at all.
Now that I'm at Guangyuan University, I'll visit more people according to Shen Xingyan's suggestion.
When Zhang Wanqing's roommates arrived at the institute, she was not there and wanted to meet them. What's more, she had originally planned to meet a few girls today, but she just didn't go through the Academic Affairs Office.
Yang Dawei thought about it and thought, that’s a good idea, what if we can find some useful clues?
The two went straight to the girls' dormitory, explained their identities to the dormitory management aunt, and under her guidance, entered Zhang Wanqing's dormitory.
There were only three girls there, the other two had gone to the library to study.
When the three girls heard that they were police officers, their expressions immediately became serious.
The round-faced girl pointed to the upper bunk next to the window and said, "This is Zhang Wanqing's bunk. We haven't moved anything."
Zhang Wanqing's bed was all pink, with a poster of a pop star on the wall.
"Didn't her parents come over to pack her things?"
The girl shook her head.
After finding the body, the police station contacted Zhang Wanqing's parents. Her parents refused to admit that their daughter had an accident, saying that they were liars, and they refused to go to the police station to identify the body. Maybe they thought that as long as they didn't go to the police station, nothing would happen to their daughter. Unexpectedly, they had never been to school.
"How is Zhang Wanqing's relationship with you? Is she easy to get along with?"
"She's OK. She's never had any conflicts with anyone. But, she can be quite mysterious sometimes."
"Mysterious? Like?"
The round-faced girl looked at the girl next to her who was hanging her head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "For example, sometimes she comes back after turning off the lights, and she won't tell me where she's been when asked. Sometimes, she doesn't have classes and no one is in the dormitory, so no one knows where she's been."
The girl who had been hanging her head suddenly looked up. Her skin was yellowish and there were acne on her face. Some of the pimples were red, and some had white dots. "We always thought that she had other boyfriends besides Ma Haijun, but we haven't seen them, so we dare not say anything."
The round-faced girl nodded. "We saw the bag she was carrying in the mall. It was very expensive."
The acne-stricken girl said, "And the clothes she's wearing, given Ma Haijun's family conditions, they can't afford them."
"Maybe her family is rich." Shen Xingyan said.
"Tsk~" the girl who had been sitting next to her sneered, "Her family won't give her that much money to buy bags and clothes. She said that although her family is well off, her parents are very strict with her. Every penny must be recorded. Apart from daily necessities, they won't let her buy anything else."
This girl has fair skin, a thin figure and a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but her disdainful expression makes people feel uncomfortable for no reason.
"Yes, I remember she seemed to have said that when she was in high school, she wanted to buy a skirt, but her father disagreed. She started crying at home, and finally her father threw a wad of money in her face and called her shameless."
Shen Xingyan and Yang Dawei looked at each other. When these girls went to the police station to report the crime, they did not mention a single word about these things.
"Did she do anything unusual during the days leading up to the 19th?"
The three girls looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Did you know that she wanted to break up with Ma Haijun?"
The round-faced girl said, “She said it when we went to the police station to report the case. She didn’t want to be with Ma Haijun anymore. She agreed to be his girlfriend because she felt sorry for him because he was so persistent.
After they got together, she often complained that Ma Haijun was a country bumpkin, had no money, no knowledge, was always stingy every time they went out to eat, and was reluctant to buy her clothes. ”
"But her consumption level is something that most people can't afford." The fair-skinned girl said, "I remember there was a period of time when Zhang Wanqing was very happy and smiled every day. When I asked her, she wouldn't say anything."
"Was it around the 19th?"
"It should be at the beginning of the month."
Shen Xingyan asked some other questions, but nothing of value.
"When will the other two girls be back?"
"They are planning to take the postgraduate entrance exams. They study all the time every day and don't care about anything else. They didn't even go to report the case." The fair-skinned girl curled her lips, "They are like gods in another world."
Shen Xingyan nodded, looked at Zhang Wanqing's bed, and put on gloves.
Yang Dawei was surprised and asked, "You want to do an inspection? We have already inspected the scene."
"I'll check it again. There's no harm in that."
Yang Dawei thought about it and put on gloves as well.
Shen Xingyan checked very carefully, looking in every corner of the closet, on the bookshelf, and even under the mattress, but there were no useful clues. She frowned in thought, her eyes skimming across the bookshelf.
Suddenly, my eyes were attracted by a copy of "Jane Eyre" in the corner. The cover was a little worn, and the spine was torn, which was glued together with transparent tape. She held out her hand
I took it down, opened it and was stunned.
She showed it to Yang Dawei, "This is Zhang Wanqing's diary."
Yang Dawei's eyes widened, he took it and flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but give Shen Xingyan a thumbs up, "You are really good, with this, the case is solved. But how did you find out?"
"I've seen this book, it's not that thin." Shen Xingyan smiled. The damage was done on purpose to make the cover thinner.
In fact, the one who was really amazing was Grandpa. It was he who found the notes, and she just applied the contents of the case to the scene and discovered the anomaly.
The two men took the notebook back to the police station and handed it to Wu Shilai and Xie Anquan.
…
In the interrogation room, Yang Dawei and Lao Chen looked gloomy. Sitting opposite was Ma Haijun's roommate Li Yong, the handsome boy who asked Wang Bo to say less.
The boy was very nervous and kept swallowing his saliva. His hands were handcuffed on the table.
Old Chen suddenly slammed the table, "Tell me! How did you kill Zhang Wanqing?!"
"I didn't!" Li Yong's voice trembled, and sweat continued to pour out of his forehead. "I didn't kill her!"
"You're still lying. Ever since Ma Haijun and Zhang Wanqing got together, you've been jealous. Not only have you often asked Ma Haijun about Zhang Wanqing's news, you've also bought bags and clothes for Zhang Wanqing, instigating her to break up with Ma Haijun."
"I didn't! It was Ma Haijun who was useless, poor, and not presentable. Zhang Wanqing complained to me, and I just went along with what she said."
"Nonsense! You were with Zhang Wanqing behind Ma Haijun's back, and you guys often dated secretly."
"I admit that I did date Zhang Wanqing, but I didn't kill her!" The veins on Li Yong's neck bulged and the handcuffs rattled as he put them on.
"You're still quibbling! Zhang Wanqing wrote in her diary that on the 19th, Ma Haijun asked her to go hiking. She promised you that she would separate from Ma Haijun completely at the top of the mountain. She also wanted to tell him that she was with you, and you also went there that day."
"I had made an appointment with her to go together, but that day at noon, after I had lunch, I felt very sleepy and fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up, it was already dark. I thought it was so late, they must have returned, so I didn't go.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people in my dormitory. By the way, when I was sleeping, Kong Xiaoming was in the dormitory. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. ”
Kong Xiaoming is that nerd.
Lao Chen and Yang Dawei looked at each other and said, "Just stay here. If you are caught lying, you know what will happen to you."
Xie Anquan immediately sent someone to look for Kong Xiaoming, but when they arrived at the dormitory, they found that Kong Xiaoming was missing.
Xie Anquan and Wu Shilai noticed it immediately, but were careless and let him escape.
It was different from now. There were Sky Eyes everywhere and tickets had to be purchased with real names. If you really wanted to escape, it would be very difficult to find it.
Xie Anquan immediately issued a joint investigation notice, requiring Kong Xiaoming to be arrested immediately at any intersection, bus station, or train station if he was spotted.
But a day passed and there was no sign of Kong Xiaoming.
Shen Xingyan had been following the progress of the case. Now was not the time to hide anything. She found Xie Anquan and said, "I think he might have gone to the mountain."
Xie Anquan stared at her for a few seconds, then immediately took people to search for Zhang Wanqing on the top of the mountain where she disappeared.
The grass on the top of the mountain was dense and the bushes were more than half a person's height, making it very difficult to find people.
All the police officers looked solemn as they launched a carpet search.
After more than four hours, Kong Xiaoming was finally found.
Kong Xiaoming curled up and lay on his side on the ground, with an empty water bottle, snack wrappers, etc. thrown beside him.
The police handcuffed him and took him to the police station.
Kong Xiaoming had a dull expression and did not answer a single word when asked.
Old Chen: "Do you think that if you don't speak, there will be no way to convict you? How did you drug Li Yong and how did you kill Zhang Wanqing? I advise you to tell me everything. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Kong Xiaoming sneered, but still said nothing.
Old Chen was about to slam the table again, but Yang Dawei held his hand and said, "Kong Xiaoming, you worked so hard to get into college, and you were about to turn your life around and become a better person, why are you so confused?
If I were you, I would definitely cherish this opportunity. How many people in a class can get into university? College students are the chosen ones of heaven, and everyone envies them.
If you confess your crime voluntarily and with a good attitude, the judge will deal with it appropriately when sentencing. But if you remain stubborn and refuse to repent, you will have to pay with your life, as you know. ”
When Kong Xiaoming heard the word "death penalty", his body trembled slightly.
The sneer on the corner of his mouth disappeared, replaced by bitterness, regret and unwillingness.
