38 The real murderer is approaching
◎…◎
Hearing the scream, Iketani Ai was shocked. She didn't even bother to wipe her face. She just shook the water off her hands and rushed out.
Fang Tianhe also rushed out when he heard the shouting. The two looked at each other at the door, both feeling very heavy.
There was a murder in the school yesterday, and we haven’t found a clue yet. Now another person is killed. The situation is getting bigger and bigger!
Seeing that the person who came to report the case was the security guard of the county high school, Iketani Ai hurriedly asked him to explain the situation clearly.
"I don't know the details, but this morning some students came for self-study. I opened the door to let them in. Shortly after I returned to the guard room, I heard students yelling, 'Another dead person!'"
"I ran over when I heard the shouting and saw another person lying under the teaching building where the accident happened yesterday."
"I thought another student had jumped from the building out of frustration, but when I got closer, I realized the student only had a large hole in the back of his head and no other injuries."
"That wasn't jumping off a building; it was clearly someone hitting him with a brick from behind!"
"From the time I let the students into the school until the incident happened, only a few minutes passed. A living person was gone, murdered. I knew the seriousness of the matter."
"Besides me, there were only a few students who arrived early at the school. Now that someone has been murdered, it must be related to one of those students."
"I immediately cordoned off the scene and detained the students who had entered the school early, then went to the police station to report the case."
"Comrades, quickly follow me to the school. This time the scene hasn't been tampered with. You'll definitely be able to catch the real culprit."
After listening to the old man's story, Chi Guai and Fang Tianhe did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the county high school.
On the way, the old man kept beating his chest and stamping his feet, feeling very sorry for the student's death.
"If I hadn't returned to the guard room and stayed outside, the child might not have been killed."
"Alas, they are just students. What kind of deep hatred could there be between them that would make them commit murder?"
Two deaths occurred in school one after another. This must have caused a terrible impact.
The old man, who had been a janitor at the school for more than 20 years, had deep feelings for the school and did not want its reputation to be tarnished by these two murders.
But now that things have come to this, all he can do is assist the public security comrades in finding the real culprit as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that no student will get into trouble again.
Considering that the two murders happened so shortly after each other and that the crime scene was at the same location, Iketani Ai instinctively suspected that the murderer might be the same person.
If it is really the same person, then this person is very dangerous.
The first time someone harms someone, it may be a crime of passion, but the second time may not be the case.
Maybe this person is a potential antisocial personality!
If the person is not caught quickly, more people will definitely be harmed next.
When the three of them arrived at the school, there were already many students at the school gate waiting to attend morning classes.
Even a few teachers were blocked outside.
When the gatekeeper, Mr. Zhu, went to the police station to report the crime, he locked the school gate to prevent any students from entering and disturbing the crime scene.
The students and teachers still didn't know that something had happened in the school again. When they saw the old man coming with two police officers, they thought it was related to the Wang Chunming jumping case yesterday.
Some teachers saw that it was getting late and started urging the students to start up.
"Uncle Zhu, please open the door quickly, morning class is about to begin."
"Why are we still having classes? Let the students go home for the holidays! Someone's been killed in our school again."
When the teachers and students heard what Uncle Zhu said, they were shocked.
Another death?!
"Why is there another death? What's going on in our school? Can it ever be cured?!"
The timid students were no longer brave enough to enter the school. They felt that the school was too dark and scary, so they immediately prepared to go home.
Those who are brave enough would curiously peek inside to see what was going on.
Compared to the students, the teachers felt more heavy-hearted when they realized the seriousness of the matter.
I told the students who were still blocking the gate that it was time for the holiday and let them go.
After the students left, looking back every few steps, Grandpa Zhu took out the key to open the door and took Iketani Aikata Tianhe and several teachers into the school.
At this time, Director Li received the news and rushed over.
Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, Director Li felt like the sky was falling.
Yesterday's student suicide was enough to give him a headache, and now another student was murdered at school. He felt that his future was completely hopeless this time.
When they reached the bottom of the teaching building, they saw the murdered student lying motionless in a pool of blood on the ground.
Looking at the hotspot connection icon lighting up again, Iketani Ai stopped Director Li and others, preventing them from getting any closer.
However, after seeing the victim's appearance clearly, Director Li couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Isn't this the top student in his senior year who never fell below first place?!
He also hoped that the other party could be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University in this year's college entrance examination, so as to bring honor to their school.
Now that someone has been killed, Director Li felt a chill in his heart.
Including Wang Chunming who was killed yesterday, these two were both good students with excellent grades!
He is a good student who will become a pillar of the country in the future!
"This is outrageous, outrageous! This murderer committed two murders in school in a row. He is so brazen!"
"Two police comrades, please quickly interrogate those students. You must find the real culprit and bring him to justice!"
Anyway, his future would definitely be affected, so Director Li simply stopped worrying about it.
He now has only one thought, which is to find the murderer.
Otherwise, if the other party is allowed to continue to go unpunished, who knows, another student with good grades might be harmed!
As the director of teaching, this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
However, after interrogating those students, Chi Gu Ai and Fang Tianhe still couldn't find anything wrong with anyone.
The reactions of these students were all very normal, and were the reactions that innocent people would have when they were involved in a murder case and became suspects.
After Ikegani Ai and Fang Tianhe finished the interrogation, they looked at each other and began to wonder if their professional skills were not good enough to cause them to fail to see it.
Since Ai Iketani failed to make a breakthrough from these students, she had to look for another breakthrough.
After confirming that the victim was attacked with a brick and died from a heavy blow to the back of the head, Iketani Ai began looking for the murder weapon.
As long as the murder weapon is found, the murderer's fingerprints can be extracted from it.
However, she searched the entire school but still couldn't find the bloody brick.
But it’s not like there is no gain at all.
Just when Iketani Ai was about to find a place to possess a victim to see if she could find the murderer from the new victim's memory, Fang Tianhe, who had sneaked onto the balcony of the teaching building at some point, suddenly called her.
Ai Iketani had to give up the idea of possession for the time being and quickly climbed onto the balcony.
On the balcony of the teaching building, she saw a pool of urine in the corner that had not yet dried up.
This was definitely not there when she checked the balcony of the teaching building yesterday.
The puddle of urine that had not yet dried was enough to prove that there was someone on the balcony not long ago.
"That's impossible! I inspected the entire school before locking the gates yesterday. There were no other students in the school besides me."
"Could it be that I missed something? The murderer was actually hiding on the balcony at night? He waited until the students came to morning self-study and was discovered, and then he attacked again?"
Now Uncle Zhu feels that the students he detained are most likely innocent.
Those students entered the school after he opened the gate in the morning.
Besides, it was only a few minutes, and these students didn’t have very fast legs.
It's impossible to just climb up to the roof of the teaching building, pee, and then come down again.
That's a three-story teaching building. There's no time left and it's unnecessary.
"What's the mentality of that murderer? After killing someone, he didn't feel any fear and actually dared to stay in the place where he killed someone in the middle of the night?"
Even though Uncle Zhu was once a veteran who had experienced many battles, he still felt a little uneasy at this moment.
What kind of psychopath is this? Why does he come to the murder scene to reminisce?
Ikeyani Ai and Fang Tianhe searched everywhere in the school, and finally found traces of someone climbing over the wall at the back of the school.
Because it is an earthen wall, the marks left by shoes scratching it are very fresh and obvious.
Looking at the shoe prints left on the wall after a layer of dirt was scraped off, Iketani Ai's eyes lit up.
Maybe it wasn’t that Mr. Zhu missed it, but that the other party climbed over the wall in the middle of the night.
After hurting someone again, he quickly climbed over the wall and slipped away when no one was paying attention?
Ai Iketani once again found the students who arrived early and asked them if they noticed anyone else besides themselves after entering the school.
These people shook their heads.
When they went to bed last night, they were still thinking about their classmate jumping off the building and they didn't sleep well at night.
So I didn't feel very energetic after getting up this morning. I was very groggy and couldn't pay attention to these things.
Just when Iketani Ai thought she couldn't get anything out of these students, one of them spoke hesitantly.
"Well, although I was dazed at the time, I vaguely seemed to see a figure running towards the back wall."
"But I thought I was seeing things."
"Now that I think about it, could it be that he was the murderer who killed Zhao Wenguang and Wang Chunming?"
Zhao Wenguang was the second victim and a classmate of the first victim, Wang Chunming.
Iketani Ai was cheered up and immediately asked the other party to recall carefully to see if he could remember anything.
The student thought about it carefully and scratched his head.
"It was daybreak at the time, so I couldn't see clearly. I just vaguely remember that he seemed quite tall, probably around 1.8 meters tall."
Nearly 1.8 meters tall? This is really a key piece of information.
Nowadays, people who are 1.8 meters tall are considered tall.
They are in a central province, and there are not many adults of this height, let alone students.
With the shoe prints and the approximate height, the scope for finding the murderer is narrowed a lot.
After collecting some of the remaining urine and taking rubbings of shoe prints from the earth wall, Ikegani Ai and Fang Tianhe began to check the students in the school.
Especially the classmates of Wang Chunming and Zhao Wenguang, they are the focus of investigation this time.
Because the impact of these two cases is too severe, students in the county high school are now in panic, and parents are afraid to let their children go to school.
While Ikegani Ai was busy investigating the murderer, Chen Qiudi also had trouble eating and sleeping.
After all, the two victims were her classmates, and one was first in the class and the other was third.
Now that the first and third place winners have been killed, she, the second place winner, must be feeling very anxious.
I’m afraid that a murderer will suddenly jump out and attack her!
