Chapter 89 University Teacher
The man with glasses nodded excitedly: "Yes, it's me, it's me."
Zhou Yi was also very excited: "Thank you so much for saving the hostage's life at the critical moment."
The man with glasses smiled sheepishly and said, "No, no, you risked your life to stop the criminals. I was just doing my duty as a citizen."
"No, no, no, it's so important that you can stand up at the critical moment. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhou Yi's words were not an exaggeration.
Under the circumstances at that time, Zhou Yi had no time to stop Baimao from committing the crime. After all, he was just an ordinary person, not a god.
If this knife were to stab down, the consequences would be unimaginable. The best result would be that Lu Xiaoshuang would be injured, and the worst result would be self-evident.
So when the man with glasses rushed forward and grabbed the white-haired hand holding the knife, it can be said that he truly saved Lu Xiaoshuang's life.
"Comrade Police Officer, you are too kind. If you hadn't attracted the criminals, I wouldn't have had the chance to get close to him."
Zhou Yi was a little shocked. This meant that the reason he was able to grab Baimao's hand at the critical moment was not luck, but that he had been lurking and approaching him for a long time, waiting for the opportunity.
This man looks frail, yet he has such courage.
Zhou Yi released his hand and asked, "By the way, did my colleagues take your statement? I can apply for a bravery award later."
"No, no, I believe anyone would do the same in such a situation. Besides, I am inspired by your courage."
"Don't bother with yours. My name is Zhou Yi, and I'm a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau." Zhou Yi extended his hand and formally introduced himself.
The man with glasses immediately extended his hand: "Hello, Officer Zhou, my name is Xiao Bing, and I teach at Hongcheng University."
Zhou Yi asked in surprise: "Are you Hongda's teacher?"
Xiao Bing nodded.
"Teacher Xiao, do you know that the girl you saved is a student of Hongda University?" Zhou Yi said.
"Really?" Xiao Bing was very surprised. "Then protecting students is even more of my responsibility."
Zhou Yi repeatedly lamented that it was fate, and said that Xiao Bing's behavior should be known to the public and Hongda. He had a share of the honor and attention he was currently receiving, and it shouldn't be monopolized by him.
Xiao Bing waved his hands and said that he was just a teacher and didn't like to be in the spotlight. He accepted Zhou Yi's kindness, but hoped that Zhou Yi would not worry about his own affairs.
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement. Everyone has their own concerns and pursuits. Since the other party is unwilling to show up and only wants to do good deeds without leaving a name, it would be tactless for him to force him to do so.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi thought of a possibility.
It was the one who pulled Lu Xiaoshuang away that day in the previous life and saved her from the harassment by Zhao Bin and his gang. Could it be... this was Teacher Xiao Bing?
Since he was in the food court that day, it means he was also there at this time in his previous life.
Although he looks gentle and thin, he was able to rush over at the critical moment to stop the crazy white-haired man from hurting people, which shows that he has great courage and sense of justice.
Such a person would have likely stood up in the previous life.
Of course, there is no way to verify this matter, it is all based on Zhou Yi's guess.
But thinking of this, he felt a little more favorable and admiring of Teacher Xiao in front of him.
"Teacher Xiao, what's wrong with you..." Zhou Yi pointed at the large bag of medicine in the other person's hand, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Bing glanced down at the bag in his hand and said, "Oh, no, my family is not in good health, so I came to prepare the medicine."
"Is it serious?"
Xiao Bing smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's just an old problem."
"Teacher Xiao, I'll find a time someday and treat you to a meal. I'll also bring the girl you saved along so she can thank you in person."
Before Xiao Bing could refuse, Zhou Yi said, "Her name is Lu Xiaoshuang, and she's a student of Financial Management from the Class of 1996 at your Hongda University."
Seeing Zhou Yi's enthusiasm, Xiao Bing nodded. "Okay then. If Officer Zhou wants to see me, he can come to the Hongda Foreign Languages College and ask for Lecturer Xiao. I'm the only teacher there with the last name Xiao. Also, I've remembered the classmate you mentioned. If I have the chance to run into her at school, I'll talk to her."
After the two exchanged a few polite words and exchanged contact information, Xiao Bing said goodbye.
Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Bing's receding back and suddenly thought of something. Could this person become his spy and look for clues about the murderer on campus?
In the previous life, although the police had invested a lot of time, energy and manpower in the Hongda case, they still had no clue. However, both the police and the society tended to believe that the murderer came from within Hongda.
Because Lu Xiaoshuang's interpersonal relationships are simple, especially outside of school, she has no friends other than her family.
Although her interpersonal relationships on campus are not complicated, there are still many things that are difficult to detect in the relatively closed environment of the university.
For example, the police who handled the case went to the Public Security University to invite a professional psychological profiler for help. The psychological profiler provided a possible direction and made a psychological profile.
The murderer might be someone who has a crush on Lu Xiaoshuang, but he usually has a low sense of presence, is withdrawn and has low self-esteem, is severely insecure, and also has paranoia and hidden violent tendencies.
There is a certain probability that after the confession failed, a desire for revenge arose.
But it is more likely that she never confessed her feelings at all, but just silently liked and paid attention to Lu Xiaoshuang's every move. After discovering that Lu Xiaoshuang was close to some men, she became seriously jealous and then carried out extreme aggressive revenge.
However, this direction was questioned by Wu Yongcheng at the time because the autopsy results did not find any obvious signs of rape on Lu Xiaoshuang.
The fact that Lu Xiaoshuang remained a virgin until her death won her everyone's sympathy.
However, the psychological portrait artist explained that the love of an extremely paranoid personality may not be an expression of sexual desire, but a manifestation of possessiveness and control.
Although Wu Yongcheng felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched, his superiors believed that this direction was very likely and ordered a comprehensive investigation around this point.
The final result is predictable. After spending huge amounts of manpower and material resources, it still came to nothing.
In fact, Zhou Yi has always resisted recalling all the details of the grand case because it is too cruel.
Especially after seeing such a vivid Lu Xiaoshuang, this memory was like a boning knife. Every time he thought of it, it was as painful as cutting his flesh and bones.
Sometimes, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would lie in bed with his eyes open, wanting to find someone to talk to, or even find a helper to help him solve these difficult problems.
But he can't. Now, in this era, he is destined to be a lone walker fighting alone!
