It was getting dark, and Suman finally arrived at a park.
It is freezing cold and most of the leaves have fallen. Only a few stubborn ones remain on the branches to resist the coming winter.
The park, which was once ablaze with flowers in spring, was now deserted, with few visitors except for one or two dog walkers.
Su Man stamped her numb feet and stood up, planning to find a place to have dinner.
Walking around the pavilion, she saw a figure not far away.
It was already dark, and she could only vaguely see that it was a young man.
He stood under a wishing tree in the garden, looking up at the red ribbons above.
The leaves of the tree have all fallen, leaving only ribbons filled with blessings and wishes.
Some of them have faded due to age, making them look somewhat desolate.
But the young man was looking very intently. When Su Man passed by him, Su Man seemed to see the crystal in his eyes.
His face was filled with sorrow, and he seemed to be immersed in sadness.
Is this, a breakup?
Are you here to pay homage?
It was too cold, Su Man was too lazy to comfort him, and just threw a pack of tissues aside.
The young man was startled.
Su Man said casually, "Look at it more positively."
Before the man could react, Suman had already left.

next day
Su Man was off duty today, but she didn't sleep in and got up early.
Today she plans to visit Shu Yunan's high school.
Although I had already learned the general situation from Dong Zimei yesterday, the investigation cannot be conducted based on only one person's description.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, when everyone narrates an event, there will always be some personal emotions mixed in, making the whole incident no longer accurate, and multi-faceted investigation and evidence collection are necessary.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Su Man arrived at the No. 36 Middle School where Shu Yunan studied.
The students were all in class, and there was only one class on the playground having a physical education class.
With her police identity, Su Man easily met Shu Yunan's then class teacher.
When the head teacher heard that Su Man came because of Shu Yunan's disappearance, he took it very seriously. He told the students to go to self-study and then took Su Man to the office.
-
"Has Shu Yunan not been found yet?"
Shu Yunan's homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman who looked very friendly. She was also very worried when a student she had taught was missing.
"yes."
Su Man took out her notebook and asked, "You knew Shu Yunan was missing before, right?"
"Well, a police officer came to investigate the situation before. No one came back for such a long time, I thought Shu Yunan had been found, but unexpectedly, oh well."
"Officer before, do you still remember your last name?"
"I remember, his last name seemed to be Tang."
Su Man guessed it was Tang Yunshan, "Yes, he is also a police officer in our station."
Pressing the tip of the pen, Su Man began to ask questions.
"What kind of student is Shu Yunan in your impression?"
The homeroom teacher looked nostalgic, "Student Shu Yunan, I remember him as a very well-behaved child. He was just a little withdrawn, but he gradually got better."
"Does she have any close friends?"
"this..."
The head teacher smiled sheepishly and said, "There were a lot of students in the class, and it's been several years, so I really don't remember."
Su Man nodded in understanding.
The head teacher opened the drawer and said, "Let me look for my graduation photo and see if I can remember it."
She took out a graduation photo from a stack and looked at it while putting on her glasses.
Su Man also moved closer, and soon she saw Shu Yunan among them.
She had seen Shu Yunan’s ID photo on the computer before, but it was not as vivid as her graduation photo.
Shu Yunan has the same appearance as Dong Zimei, and even with short hair, she is still pretty.
In the photo, she smiled sweetly at the camera.
I guess at this time she didn't know that her major had been changed, and her eyes were full of expectations for her future life.
Su Man was about to sit up straight when she suddenly noticed the boy standing behind her.
Everyone was looking at the camera, but he only looked slightly downwards, as if looking at Shu Yunan.
Su Man couldn't help but look at the boy's face twice more. Suddenly, she found that the boy looked a bit like the man she met in the park last night.
this...
Su Man pointed at the boy and said, "Teacher, do you remember who this boy is?"
The head teacher pushed his glasses up on his nose, thought for a few seconds and said, "Remember, this is our class council member, her name is Jiang Yunyan."
The head teacher suddenly remembered something, "Yes, yes, I remember that Jiang Yunyan was Shu Yunan's deskmate at that time."
Deskmate?
From this point of view, it was no coincidence that she saw Jiang Yunyan in the park that Shu Yunan often went to.
It was Dong Zimei who told Shu Yunan that she often went to that park, and as for Jiang Yunyan, it must have been Shu Yunan herself who told him about it.
Or maybe he often went there with Shu Yunan.
That's why Shu Yunan went there alone.
Su Man asked suddenly, "Teacher, how are Jiang Yunyan's grades?"
"That's great. Jiang Yunyan was almost always number one in the class back then."
Memories were triggered and the head teacher thought of more details.
"Oh yes, I arranged Shu Yunnan and Jiang Yunyan together so that Jiang Yunyan could help her with her studies."
"The effect was very good. Later I repeated the method and asked students to form pairs to study together."
After hearing this, the idea that Shu Yunan was studying hard just to escape from Shu Jianming was shaken again.
However, we cannot say that Dong Zimei lied. After all, these two things are actually not contradictory.
Shu Yunan could be studying hard to escape from Shu Jianming, or he could be studying for Jiang Yunyan.
After Su Man recorded all these details, she asked, "Do you have any impression of Shu Yunan's parents?"
"Parents..."
The head teacher paused and tried hard to search his memory.
In order to awaken her memory, Su Man reminded her, "After Shu Yunan applied for admission, her father came to change her application..."
"Oh, Shu Yunan's father, right? I remember him."
The head teacher smiled bitterly and said, "Shu Yunan's father is indeed a very troublesome parent."
"Did he do anything?" Su Man asked.
The head teacher said helplessly, "Normally, parents should worry less about their children when they are in high school, but Shu Yunan's father treats me like a kindergarten kid, constantly asking me about Shu Yunan's school situation."
"It wouldn't be enough to just ask about her studies, but he would often ask if Shu Yunan had any random friends at school, if she had any premature love affairs, and what she was doing at school. He even told me to keep an eye on her and notify him immediately if I showed any signs of this."
Suman recorded them one by one.
These coincide with what Dong Zimei said. It seems that Dong Zimei did not lie. Shu Jianming is indeed a person with a strong desire for control.
Could it be that he is the murderer of Shu Yunan?
No, it's too early to tell.
Su Man suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to ask, "Have you met Shu Yunan's mother?"
