Chapter 115 (Part 2)
Hang Jiabai and Xu Bo looked at each other. Xu Bo took out his cell phone and called his colleague in the same group. Hang Jiabai called Bai Fuan "Grandpa" and asked to see the surveillance video. Although it was inappropriate, Bai Fuan was still very happy when Hang Jiabai called him grandpa. After all, he had some bad thoughts about the other person's grandmother.
Hang Jiabai's request was reasonable, and the current school leaders were really at a loss. They didn't even consider Hang Jiabai and Xu Bo's request and directly agreed to it. They wanted to find Xu Simiao more than anyone else. They even hoped that Xu Simiao had gone out to play instead of missing.
Unfortunately, the hope was very slim. When Liu Shuqing called Xu Simiao's phone, it was turned off. This undoubtedly casts a shadow on everyone's hearts.
Xu Bo stayed behind to survey the road from the dormitory building to the second canteen. The school leaders did not leave but just watched from the side. Lin Shuyue, Liu Shuqing and Hang Jiabai followed Bai Fuan to the monitoring room to watch the surveillance.
Lin Shuyue asked to see the video from last week, when Liu Shuqing and Xu Simiao felt they were being followed.
The school's surveillance videos are stored for half a month before being cleared. When the security guard in charge of the surveillance heard Lin Shuyue's words, he glanced at Bai Fuan and Hang Jiabai again. Bai Fuan said, "Show them."
They first looked at the morning surveillance, just like the previous times Bai Fuan came to check the surveillance. This time, there was still nothing abnormal on the surveillance. All the students on surveillance have been visited. Except for a few who have an impression of Xu Simiao, the rest have not noticed Xu Simiao at all.
Lin Shuyue thought about the conversation with Xu Simiao last night and paid special attention to whether there was a cleaner. However, from 7:00 in the morning to 7:50 in the morning, there was no sign of a cleaner in the cameras in multiple locations.
Hang Jiabai absolutely did not believe that a person could disappear out of thin air. He told Lin Shuyue personally, "This kidnapper must be fully aware of all the surveillance equipment in the school. He must have a certain foundation in this area."
Lin Shuyue nodded: "That's right, if someone kidnapped Xu Simiao, then he must be very familiar with the school's terrain, surveillance locations, and coverage, so he could kidnap someone in such a short time."
There are many students in the school, and Yangcheng University attaches great importance to the safety of students, so the school has surveillance.
There are many. It is obviously not something that can be done overnight to clearly know the blind spots of these surveillance. This person must have certain computer knowledge and have the opportunity to come into contact with these things in daily work.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fuan glanced at the computer screen and said, "I'll call the school's electrician team." In the school, only the electrician team would frequently come into contact with monitoring equipment.
Yangcheng University has a special team of electricians responsible for circuit maintenance. After all, it is still 2004, and even in a big city like Yangcheng, there will still be occasional power outages. There are several thousand teachers, students and staff at Yangcheng University, and it is a school, so the power supply to the school must be guaranteed.
Hang Jiabai nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa Bai."
Bai Fuan went to make a phone call, and Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyue asked the security guard in charge of the monitoring room to adjust the monitoring time to the time when Liu Shuqing and Lin Shuqing discovered that they were being followed.
Liu Shuqing still remembers the approximate time: "The school has a curfew, and we came out of the KTV at around nine o'clock. We took a taxi to the bus stop in front of the school and got off. I drank a little too much and felt carsick."
"We thought the school was only a few steps away, there were shops on both sides, and there were pedestrians on the roadside. We thought there was no danger, so we decided to walk back."
Lin Shuyue knew that Liu Shuqing suffered from motion sickness. Not long after they got in the car together yesterday, Liu Shuqing became unable to move. Her face was pale and she was sweating coldly. Although she tried to cheer herself up when she got off the car, she was still listless.
Lin Shuyue used to have a friend who would suffer from motion sickness more severely after drinking.
"So when did you feel someone was following you?"
Liu Shuqing said: "It's at the corner where the bus turns."
The Yangcheng University bus station and the entrance of Yangcheng University form a 90-degree vertical shape of a figure 7. Opposite the corner are rows of shops selling food, clothes, hairdressing and everything else. When they are open at nine or ten o'clock, the lights are on.
If there is a place where people can hide, it is only the distance between the buildings.
Liu Shuqing continued: "We all felt it, and then quickened our pace back."
Unlike outside the school, the curfew is in place at 10 o'clock. After 9 o'clock, most of the students who go out have returned. There is still a certain distance from the school gate to the dormitory building. In this distance, even with street lights, it is still eerily quiet.
"When we walked near the lotus pond, we felt like someone was following us. We looked for a shadow and found one following us when we turned a corner. We turned around and saw no one. We looked on the ground and the shadow was gone. We ran away and told Professor Bai the next day that someone was following us."
After listening to Liu Shuqing's narration, Hang Jiabai went over personally and set the surveillance camera to the time between 8 and 10 o'clock. He stared at the surveillance video with his starry eyes, not missing the slightest sign of something wrong.
Lin Shuyue's attention was on the good and evil distinction system. From the time she entered the school until now, she has never seen anyone whose good and evil value exceeds 20%.
Lin Shuyue's eyes also fell on the surveillance camera, which at this moment had already finished recording from eight to ten o'clock that evening. Hang Jiabai asked Liu Shuqing about her subsequent movements and continued to investigate.
Liu Shuqing and Xu Simiao's daily life is very monotonous. They go from dormitory to classroom to library to cafeteria. They rarely even have time to go to the canteen. Their route is simple and their figures can be seen everywhere in the surveillance videos.
There were cleaners nearby several times when they were in the same frame.
This also confirms what Xu Simiao said to Lin Shuyue yesterday and the speculations of Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai.
Xu Bo came in at this time. He had already visited Liu Shuqing and Xu Simiao's roommates. Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing are both very easy to get along with. In the three months since the start of the school year, they have not had any conflicts with their roommates. The relationship in their dormitory is one of the rare harmonious ones on the same floor.
Xu Bo immediately focused his investigation on Liu Shuqing, but after questioning many people, he found out that Liu Shuqing and Xu Simiao had a very good relationship and there was no conflict between them.
Xu Bo asked Lin Shuyue if she had found anything. Lin Shuyue shook her head and said, "We haven't finished watching the surveillance yet. Officer Xu, have you found anything?"
Just as Xu Bo was about to speak, the people from the school's electrician team arrived. Two of the three of them were already in their forties. They were wearing grey work clothes with the words "Yangchang University" printed on them, and had name tags on their chests with their names written on them. Lin Shuyue took a quick look and found that the good and evil value was less than 20.
Principal Pei, the director of the Moral Education Department, and instructors Xu Simiao and Liu Shuqing also came.
Lin Shuyue briefly explained it to Xu Bo, and Xu Bo knew it. He took out a notebook and a pen and asked the three people.
"Luo Mingda, right? Where were you and what were you doing between seven and eight in the morning?"
Luo Mingda is the leader of the electrician team. He said calmly, "The school checks the wires and switches of the computer room and teaching building once a week. At that time in the morning, we happened to check the library. Teacher Zeng, the administrator of the library, can testify for us."
There are only three people in the electrician team. When checking this kind of route, they all go together because it makes the work more efficient this way. Not only did they have Teacher Zeng to corroborate their case, they also had a number of students who got up early to study in the library to testify that they did not have any time to commit the crime. They didn't even leave the library until the school organized faculty and staff to look for Xu Simiao.
Xu Bo took note and continued to ask: "Among the three of you, do any of you have any basic knowledge of computers?"
The two older ones in the electrician team couldn't help but look at the younger one, whose name tag read Zhao Wu. Being watched by so many people, including school leaders and police, he became very nervous and his face turned red.
He stammered, "I don't have any basic knowledge either. My son learned some computer knowledge in school and taught me when he came back. I just search for movies online. I can't even type well."
Xu Bo wrote this down: "Is it convenient for me to go to your house and check your computer?"
Zhao Wu nodded his head: "Sure, sure."
·····
When Xu Bo was asking the electrician team, Hang Jiabai had already finished watching the surveillance records of the past few days. He accurately reported the time and location of several surveillance shots. As he reported, one picture after another was frozen, and people in orange work clothes appeared on the big screen.
But once the big picture was fixed, Lin Shuyue knew that these cleaners would not be suspects, because their body shapes were very different. Unless they are a gang.
When the person from the logistics department saw this, without Hang Jiabai saying anything, he picked up his phone and called the cleaning team. After a while, the cleaning team arrived.
They are all very old, two boys and three girls, and they all knew about the big thing that happened in the school. When they were called in, they were particularly nervous.
Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar scanned the area and found that the good and evil value was still less than 20, which did not meet the standard for committing a crime.
Xu Bohangjia compared them with the people on surveillance video one by one, and then asked about their work schedules and activity range for that day.
Obviously, these cleaners were not peeping people, and they did not have time to commit crimes between seven and eight in the morning. The investigation reached a deadlock at this point. The cleaning team left quickly, and Lin Shuyue and others also left the monitoring room.
As soon as I walked outside, two couples came in. The couple walking in front had tears on their faces, and the couple walking behind also looked worried. They are Xu Simiao's parents and Liu Shuqing's parents.
Liu Shuqing, who had stopped crying, started crying again at this time. She stood out from the crowd and shouted a series of names: Dad Xu, Mom Xu, Dad and Mom.
Just from the way Liu Shuqing addressed him, one can tell what the relationship between the two families is.
Mother Xu and Liu Shuqing's mother took Liu Shuqing's hands and began to inquire about the situation, while father Xu and Liu Shuqing's father went forward to negotiate with the school leaders.
Lin Shuyue and others were listening on the side, and they soon learned about the situation of the two families.
When the wave of layoffs hit, Xu's father became a laid-off worker. Instead of becoming depressed, they started setting up a small stall to sell vegetables from their hometown. He now runs a wholesale market, and 50% of the vegetables sold in their store are sold in his market.
Liu Shuqing's parents are both employees of a machinery factory. Liu's father is a technician. After the state-owned factory went bankrupt, he opened an electrical appliance repair shop. Now he has his own repair shop and is receiving continuous orders. The relationship between the two families has always been good, the family conditions are good, and the parent-child relationship is also good.
At this point, Liu Shuqing's suspicion has been ruled out.
The arrival of Xu's father and mother attracted many students to watch. Lin Shuyue's radar swept over the students, and then she fixed her eyes and said to Hang Jiabai beside her: "Abai, at the six o'clock direction, chase."
Hang Jiabai trusted Lin Shuyue 100%. As soon as Lin Shuyue finished speaking, Hang Jiabai shot out like an arrow. Carrying Lin Shuyue's bag, he followed.
