"yes!"
"Go on with the school case!" Xiong Yingjun collected his thoughts and continued listening to Li Nan's report.
The case of the male student freezing to death at the school occurred on the third day of the Lunar New Year, when the school was almost completely deserted.
The remaining security guards only conduct perfunctory patrols of valuable areas such as the teaching buildings. In remote places like Peach Garden, if it weren't for the security guard who reported the incident, it's hard to say that the students wouldn't have discovered it until after the start of the school year.
During the holiday, the school gates were closed, and the four victims all entered the school by climbing over the wall through a hidden path.
The school's surveillance cameras are mainly located in the teaching buildings, dormitories, and main roads.
Therefore, no video was captured of the four students entering the school.
Coincidentally, there was a not-so-high-definition camera on the way to the school's peach orchard, which captured the four people entering.
Although it wasn't very clear, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, only these four figures passed through this surveillance camera until the security guards patrolled back into the scene, followed by Anding Si, and there were no other unauthorized personnel.
After a simple comparison, it can be confirmed that the people in the surveillance footage are the four deceased.
There are many paths to enter the school, but there is only one path to the peach grove of the Polytechnic University!
The other directions are all surrounded by high walls, with the highway on one side.
The highway was fully equipped with surveillance cameras, and no suspicious persons were found climbing over the barriers in the days before and after the incident.
"So, the current surveillance footage proves that only these four boys entered the scene of the incident on the day it occurred?"
"Yes, Master. Not only on the day of the incident, but also the four of them, the most recent person to appear on this surveillance footage was a security guard from the school. On New Year's Eve, this security guard entered Taoyuan and came out about half an hour later."
"The security guard on patrol was the same one who later called the police. After our inquiry and comparison with the school's duty roster, there was nothing wrong with him being there at that time."
"In other words, Master, we haven't found any evidence that could be the murderer in this case!"
So far, based on the victims' contacts, movements, and other information, although the deaths of the students who froze to death were unbelievable, there is absolutely no possibility that they were murdered!
"Master, could this really be suicide?"
“There must be something fishy going on here!” Xiong Sifu pondered. “There must be something in this case that we haven’t noticed yet!”
Li Nan hesitated, wondering whether she should tell her mentor about the problematic video.
Xiong Yingjun has been a police officer for over thirty years. He is experienced and capable. If it weren't for the impact of the fatal fall from the cross-sea bridge years ago, he would be more than just a sergeant today.
Seeing Li Nan's hesitant demeanor, one could immediately understand that this little apprentice must have discovered some clues that were difficult to say openly.
Xiong Yingjun left his desk, led Li Nan to the sofa, and said earnestly, "Xiao Li, I'm your mentor. You can tell me anything you should or shouldn't say!"
"Master, this is indeed a bit much, but I don't know how to bring it up!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Nan still took out his phone. "Master, here's a video. It's a video of the four victims watching Blood Rose at the same time before they died. I'll send it to you, and then I'll wait for you at the door. You can watch it by yourself and see what happens."
"This should be considered key evidence, right? You and the technical department must have been studying it for a long time. Could there be something fishy going on here?"
"Master, this is why I'm hesitant. This video can only be watched by one person at a time. If more than one person watches it, it won't have any effect!"
"Okay, then you go back to your office first, I'll call you when I'm done reading it!"
The complete video of Blood Rose's Peach Blossom Spring is twelve minutes long. It took Li Nan half an hour before she received Xiong Sifu's internal call.
"Xiao Li, what exactly did you find in this video?"
When Li Nan saw Xiong Yingjun again, she didn't notice anything unusual on his face.
"Master, you weren't asleep just now?"
"Sleep? What do you mean sleep? I just watched this video twice, and apart from noticing that the voice is a bit unusual, the story is absolutely awful."
"Um, Master, did you see the scene where Blood Rose bleeds at the end?"
Xiong Yingjun handed his phone to Li Nan, "You mean this? It should just be a special effect, right?"
Li Nan leaned closer to take a look. "That's strange. It looks so fake now. Why doesn't it have that same feel as before?"
Xiong Yingjun pulled Li Nan down to sit again, "Now you can tell me in detail what exactly happened!"
"Alright, Master, I'll tell you..."
Mustering her courage, Li Nan told Xiong Sifu the whole story of her wet dream that day, including how she transformed into Xie Tian and went to Wushan with the Peach Blossom Goddess.
Finally, he specifically instructed Xiong Yingjun, "Master, you absolutely mustn't tell Qin Wen about this!"
Xiong Yingjun glanced at him and said, "You two are an old married couple, I don't care about your affairs!"
Li Nan then told Xiong Sifu about Qin Wen's unusual behavior after watching the video that night.
"It seems that Qin Wen has also fallen into demonic possession. She probably dreamed about something unspeakable. Master doesn't understand women's affairs. Maybe one day Qin Wen will tell you when she's in a good mood."
"Let's hope so!"
"However, according to you, this video has the magic to make people dream, so why doesn't it work on me?"
Li Nan, channeling Conan's inner powers, suddenly had his brain capacity expand. Looking at the frozen image on Xiong Yingjun's phone, he said somewhat uncertainly, "Could it be due to time? As time goes on, the magic in the video is gradually disappearing?"
Xiong Sifu chuckled and tapped Li Nan on the head. "Li you silly girl, it might be possible in a fantasy novel, but we're police officers from the An Ding Division. We have to believe in science!"
"Hehe..." Li Nan recalled Ma Jie's words, "Master, this should be considered a paranormal event!"
"I just noticed that this Blood Rose not only has a pleasant voice, but her every word and action seems to carry a strong psychological suggestion. This Blood Rose is very likely a master of psychology!"
"Psychological suggestion?" Li Nan couldn't help but recall the hypnosis that Lao Yang or Ma Jie had mentioned during the construction site death case. In reality, can hypnosis really achieve that level?
"I heard that our Deputy Director Yang is coming back soon. Let's ask him then if hypnosis can achieve this level of skill!"
"Is Deputy Director Yang coming back?" Li Nan couldn't help but think of that stiff little bald man, Yang Zhengning, the deputy director of the Stability Division and concurrently the head of the Destiny Prediction Department.
"Yeah, he's a psychology expert, haha. Let's see if he can find any new clues when he gets back."
