Chapter 151 It's just a trick!
"Um?"
Quan Ruifeng came over after hearing what he said. Xia Xian found something not at the railing, but at the entrance to the rooftop.
Quan Ruifeng also half squatted down to check.
"Look, it's red, but it doesn't look like blood. Is it paint? It doesn't seem to be either."
Xia Xian looked at it carefully. Because it had dried, it was dark red. Quan Ruifeng picked up a little bit with his hands, rubbed it, and smelled it.
He said with certainty.
"It's not blood, it's not paint, it's pigment."
Although pigment and oil paint may look similar when applied, they actually have different textures and smells.
This is the dark red paint used for painting.
"Why is there paint here? Has anyone come here to paint?"
Xia Xian found it a bit strange. After all, the rooftop corridor was clean except for a few fallen leaves floating over. The sudden appearance of a few drops of paint was still quite abrupt.
If Xia Xian hadn't been so careful, probably no one would have noticed.
"I don't know. Let's see if there is anything else."
There are too few clues now, and Quan Ruifeng himself is not sure whether this is a trace left by the murderer or left by someone else accidentally. However, judging from the degree of dryness of the paint, it has only happened in the past few days, not too long ago, so it may really be left by the murderer.
Could he be a teacher or student of painting?
No one can be sure.
Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng searched the corridor carefully again. Before it got dark, they squatted down and searched thoroughly, not missing even a single hair!
"Huh? Hair? Why is there such a long hair here?"
“There are a few here, too.”
The two of them searched very carefully. Xia Xian suddenly saw a long strand of hair. As soon as he finished speaking, Quan Ruifeng also found a few long hairs.
You have to know that this is a boys' dormitory. Even if you have hair, it should be short. Girls are not allowed to come here. Only Xia Xian and the dormitory manager may have been here.
But the dormitory manager also has short hair.
Xia Xian couldn't help but look at her hair.
"Is it mine?"
But she tied her hair up into a beautiful pigtail and placed it on one side. Logically, it shouldn't be easy for her hair to fall out, but it wasn't disheveled.
And the length doesn't look like it.
Quan Ruifeng held his hair and waved it near Xia Xian's ear.
"It's not yours. This hair is coarse and a bit longer than yours."
Quan Ruifeng made a calm judgment.
Xia Xian's hair is slightly below her shoulders, but this hair is almost to her waist, so the length doesn't match.
The lengths of these hairs are the same, which means they fell from the same person.
I thought about the shadow everyone had seen, with red clothes and long hair. Could this be...
"That means people are playing tricks. How can a ghost's hair have substance and fall off?"
Xia Xian raised her eyebrows, so these are all just scare tactics.
"Put it away first and go downstairs. I'll ask the dorm manager if there are any other girls coming up here."
Quan Ruifeng agreed with what Xia Xian said, carefully collected the evidence, and then went downstairs with Xia Xian.
Then I asked the dormitory manager about this, and she firmly denied it.
"It's impossible that I didn't know about other girls going up there. I'm very responsible and I sit here every day to watch! You see, even if something as big as this happened, I'm still here! Apart from this girl, there really is no other girl going up there!"
"What about the police who went up to check the situation that day? Were there any female police officers?"
Xia Xian then asked, if there was a female police officer there, maybe her hair was so long that it fell there accidentally.
However, she still felt that it was more likely that the murderer had dropped the body.
"No, there were four male police officers that day, but not a single female one."
The dormitory manager remembers it clearly. After all, there are still fewer female police officers these days, almost as rare as giant pandas.
"I see. Thank you, Auntie."
Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng didn't ask any more questions.
"Come on, wife, I'll take you back to the dormitory first. Tomorrow I'll go to the public security bureau over there to ask about the progress of the matter. I'll tell you if I find anything."
He also needs to tell them about their findings, maybe they can come up with some reliable guesses.
"good."
"Mr. Zhu had no children, but he was a humorous and kind person. It's such a pity that he's gone. At least we need to find the murderer for him."
Xia Xian sighed and said that they had seen him on Friday morning, but in the blink of an eye he was gone. As expected, no one knows when tomorrow or an accident will happen, so they should cherish the present.
"Yes."
"The murderer is still on campus, playing tricks. He may have other targets. Be careful. Don't go alone until the murderer is found. Go out with at least two or three people. I'll pick you up after class."
Quan Ruifeng said cautiously that he didn't know who the murderer's target was, so it was better to be careful. Quan Ruifeng didn't want anything to happen to Xia Xian.
"Okay, I understand. I'll pay attention."
Xia Xian nodded, agreed, and listened to the advice to eat a full meal.
Because of the murder case, the two of them didn't have the mood to be affectionate. After Quan Ruifeng sent Xia Xian back to the dormitory building, he also went back. On the way, the two of them reviewed the news they had heard from each other, and they were both similar.
They all said they saw a figure wearing a red skirt with long flowing hair. The only thing that is puzzling is that Li Xiaowan, who lives next door to Xia Xian's dormitory, said she saw a person in the air. How could that happen in the air?
Ghosts can float, but humans can’t. It’s too difficult. How can one stay in the air?
Moreover, if the murderer was a girl, it would not be easy to push Uncle Zhu down from the building. Although the uncle is old, he has great strength. He is very powerful as he carries bag of garbage one after another.
Unless the girl is tall and strong, it is possible, but the shadows everyone sees are all very slender without exception...
In short, the statements are somewhat inconsistent with the truth of the matter.
Xia Xian went back to the dormitory and kept thinking about it, but she couldn't figure it out.
Quan Ruifeng also wanted to go to the Public Security Bureau that took over the case to ask about it the next day, but before he had the chance to ask, the school was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave for the time being.
"In order to prevent bad guys from sneaking in, no one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being. Everyone should stop spreading rumors, study hard, and leave the rest to the school."
There have been more and more rumors recently, and the school has been under pressure and could not help but take action. It has arranged personnel to patrol, especially strengthening patrols in the dormitories.
But the school is so big, it's not easy to take care of every place, or even find the person who is playing tricks.
Quan Ruifeng was unable to leave the school for the time being, so he thought about calling to ask. However, before he could call, something happened again!
