Chapter 378 Good People Are Rewarded
Mo Youyou had actually wanted to ask this question for a long time. After all, she had seen Zhou Yi on TV and knew that he was not an ordinary policeman, but a criminal policeman.
In addition, he did not come alone, but was accompanied by a female police officer, which means that he did not come for personal matters.
The criminal police came on official business, so people dare not think too much about it.
"It's just some routine checks, don't worry." Although Zhou Yi was already worried sick, he still comforted her, "By the way, if you go back to school tonight, don't tell anyone else that we came to see you." Zhou Yi paused and said, "If... you find out that Xiaoshuang has returned to school, be sure to have her call me immediately."
Mo Youyou nodded quickly, but she felt even more nervous.
After Qiao Jiali finished the call, Zhou Yi gave her the right to ask questions, and she learned some more about Lu Xiaoshuang's personal situation.
Zhou Yi already knew all of this. What he asked just now was different information from his previous life.
After asking about everything, the two said goodbye. Zhou Yi left Mo Youyou a phone number and asked her to call him directly if she remembered anything else.
As soon as Zhou Yi and the others left, the bedroom door opened and Mo Youyou's aunt walked out.
"Youyou, what's wrong?"
Mo Youyou said worriedly, "The classmate who slept in the bunk below me might be missing."
"Is that the girl you mentioned who helped you at the beginning of the school year?"
"Yeah." Mo Youyou recalled the first day of school. That day, her parents sent her to school to register. As a result, due to her father's carelessness, he accidentally forgot the bag containing the admission notice and tuition fees in the flower bed next to the bus stop.
When the family arrived at school, they found the bag was missing. They hurried back to pick it up, but the things were already gone.
The family of three was almost worried to death. They lost so much money, and the most important thing was that there was an admission letter inside.
Seeing that there was no other way, she could only go to the school to ask what to do in this situation, and whether she could register first, and her father would go back to get the money and send it over.
After all, going to school is the big deal.
As a result, the teacher at the registration office checked Mo Youyou's identity information, took out a bag and asked her if it was hers.
When the family saw the bag, they were overjoyed. When they opened it, they were even more shocked.
The admission letter is still in my bag, but the key is the tuition and accommodation fees, not a penny less.
Mo Youyou quickly asked the teacher what was going on.
The teacher said that a freshman picked it up near the bus stop. After waiting for a long time and no one came, he found out that it was also a Hongda admission letter, so he brought it over.
The whole family cried with joy and hurriedly asked the teacher what the new student's name was so that they could express their gratitude.
The teacher said there were so many people signing up today that she couldn't remember their names. But she remembered the girl had come alone, carrying a blanket and a patched-up old schoolbag on her chest. It seemed her circumstances were quite difficult.
The teacher's words really moved the family of three, but it was a pity that they didn't know the little girl's name so that they could thank her in person.
The person who picked up her admission letter and tuition was Lu Xiaoshuang.
But when she and her parents arrived at the dormitory, Lu Xiaoshuang was no longer there because she was in a hurry to go to work.
After settling in, her parents took a bus back home.
Lu Xiaoshuang returned to the dormitory before it closed. As her upper and lower bunks, the two people greeted each other, but she didn't think about it that way.
It was not until the next morning when she went to class that she was shocked to see two patches of mending on the old schoolbag Lu Xiaoshuang was carrying.
After asking, I found out that the person who picked up her admission letter was actually Lu Xiaoshuang.
They were both surprised, thinking this might be fate, and their relationship naturally grew closer. After Mo Youyou told her parents about this, they gave her three hundred yuan as a token of their gratitude, but Lu Xiaoshuang refused to accept it.
Later, Mo Youyou realized how difficult Lu Xiaoshuang's conditions were. She often had to work to make a living and save money for tuition. Before she met Zhou Yi, she had very little time to spend with other people.
Changing the bunk beds was the only thing she could think of that would help without hurting the other person's self-esteem.
"It's okay. My mom said good people will be rewarded." Mo Youyou murmured.
In the police car on the other side, Qiao Jiali discovered that Zhou Yi's condition seemed to be slowly recovering.
He turned back into the Zhou Yi who was so calm and composed that it didn't suit his age. It was really not easy to achieve this.
But what she didn't know was that Zhou Yi was forcing himself to remain calm, like a person trying to hold down the lid of a boiling pot.
"Sister Qiao, there are two huge doubts now."
"The first one is the girl named Xu Liu. From Mo Youyou's description, I can confirm that this girl has an inexplicable hostility towards Xiao Shuang, and the specific reason is unknown. But this sweater was cut up the same night I gave it to Xiao Shuang. It couldn't have been done by an outsider. I've been to the Hongda girls' dormitory, and the security is quite strict. Outsiders can't enter."
"So it's highly likely this girl named Xu Liu is responsible. She possesses both the motive and the circumstances to commit the crime, and this warrants a focused investigation."
"But at the same time, I don't think she'd commit murder and dismemberment. Let's put aside for now whether a freshman girl has the physical and mental strength to do so. Her hatred for Xiao Shuang alone wouldn't reach that level."
Qiao Jiali listened carefully to Zhou Yi's analysis and asked, "Why?"
"First of all, the reason she hates Xiao Shuang is unknown even to Xiao Shuang herself and her roommate Mo Youyou, which means the reason isn't very serious. If it was a clear financial or emotional dispute that could have triggered murderous impulses, in a university-like collective living environment, it wouldn't have been unknown to those around her."
"So it's likely that for some inexplicable reason, Xiao Shuang might have offended her without knowing it, causing her to harbor resentment towards Xiao Shuang and become sarcastic towards her."
"The second thing is the act of cutting up the sweater. If the conflict between the two was serious from the beginning, even to the point where Xu Liu wanted to kill him, she wouldn't have done something as lowly as cutting up the sweater."
There is another logic to this point, which is that in the previous life, there was no such method of venting anger as cutting sweaters.
The murderer of a grand case cannot be so impatient, otherwise it would not be called the No. 1 unsolved case.
This behavior of cutting sweaters is very consistent with the venting behavior of mentally immature girls.
Although the shredded sweater and the body parts do seem somewhat similar, if the information gets to the media, it will probably be made into a big story.
Qiao Jiali nodded. "Well, I think your analysis makes sense. Logically, this behavior doesn't fit with someone who's capable of killing and dismembering people. The second suspicious point you mentioned, is it referring to Xiaoshuang saying she's going to look for you?"
"Yes, someone must have used my name to arrange an appointment with her somewhere."
"Zhou Yi, when was the last time you contacted Lu Xiaoshuang?"
"On the night of April 26th, I spoke to her via the dorm manager's office phone. At that time... everything was normal."
"In other words, the incident may occur between the 27th and 30th."
Zhou Yi shook his head. "No, on the night of the 29th, Xiao Shuang told Mo Youyou that she was going back to see her grandmother. She didn't mention looking for me at all, so it's likely that she received this deceptive message sometime on the morning of the 30th."
"Also, the time span of this kind of information can't be very long. The shorter the better. The longer it is, the greater the chance of it being exposed."
Moreover, there is a huge risk for the person who deceived Lu Xiaoshuang.
That is, if Lu Xiaoshuang finds out that the other person is lying, this person will be completely exposed, because he knows that Zhou Yi is a policeman. If he fails to deceive Lu Xiaoshuang, he will be suspected by Zhou Yi afterwards.
So the person who deceived Lu Xiaoshuang did it even though he knew there was a risk of being exposed.
That was a very serious problem. They took a high risk to trick Lu Xiaoshuang away, and then she disappeared, and her body parts were found that night.
No matter how you look at it, Lu Xiaoshuang is in great danger.
But Zhou Yi was thinking about another problem: luring, kidnapping, killing, carefully cutting up the body, deep-frying the meat at high temperature, and finally dumping the body in more than ten places.
Could these crimes have been committed in less than nine hours, or even less?
Earlier on the train, he judged that if it was a professional murderer with skilled techniques, there would be enough time.
This judgment has a premise, which is that the deceased was cut into more than 300 pieces according to the dismemberment method of the previous life.
But now, the method of dismemberment has changed! It has become much more complicated than in the previous life. According to Song Yiming, the bag found in Nansha River alone must have 300 pieces.
In other words, the victim may have been cut into thousands of pieces, and all of these pieces of meat should have been fried at high temperature.
This horrific method of dismembering a body has increased the workload by more than ten times compared to the previous life.
Unless the murderer is Superman, how could he do that?
In her previous life, it took almost four days from the time Lu Xiaoshuang disappeared to the time the first bag of body parts was discovered.
It's worth noting that when Xu Jiaguang killed Zhang Hui and dismembered her body, it took him an entire night just to dispose of the tissues. The subsequent disposal of the bones and skull took even more time and effort.
I always feel that this case has become very strange in this life.
Qiao Jiali's voice pulled Zhou Yi out of his thoughts. She said, "According to your logic, the person who deceived Xiaoshuang could only be someone from the school."
"Well, Sister Qiao, you're right. In such a short time, it's impossible for Xiaoshuang to come into contact with people outside the school."
Qiao Jiali said, "Since she's someone at school, there are two options. The first is to conduct a visit and investigation to see who Lu Xiaoshuang had contact with and spoken to before noon yesterday. The second is to check on her closest friends, such as classmates in the same major and her teachers. We need to track down their whereabouts and conduct an in-depth investigation into anyone who didn't have time to verify their whereabouts yesterday afternoon."
She sighed and said, "Hey, I just don't know if Captain Wu has made arrangements with the school. Without the school's cooperation, it will be difficult for us to find these people."
Zhou Yi said with a sharp look in his eyes: "I already have a highly suspected person!"
