I'm in Love at the Crime Scene 3
The sound of "beep beep" alarms resounded throughout the entire campus. The red cordon surrounded the entrance of the girls' dormitory. A bloody woman was lying on the ground. Groups of students stood outside the cordon and whispered to each other.
A man in a white coat stood up, his hands in his pockets. "The deceased suffered heavy bleeding due to internal organ damage. The damage to her appearance is far less than that to her internal organs, so it can be basically determined that she died from a fall."
Shi Luochen pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, pulled a pair of gloves from his pocket, and crouched in front of the woman. "There are no obvious signs of a struggle on the deceased's body, and there are no suspicious dandruff or hair under the fingernails. Combined with the forensic doctor's findings, we can preliminarily determine this is a spontaneous fall from a height."
He touched the blood on the woman's hand and continued, "The blood has already solidified. Combined with the target witness's account, the time of death should be around 1:00 AM."
Shi Luochen raised his eyelids and glanced at the dormitory building not far away. "Lin Yuqi, come with me to the crime scene."

"Excuse me, did you feel that Liu Ai was in an uneasy mood last night?" Shi Luochen took out a notebook from his coat pocket, raised his head and looked seriously at the other three people in the dormitory.
Gu Qingzhou sat bored on Liu Ai's stool, his little head resting on the table, his slender white fingers poking the ornaments on the table from time to time.
"Something's wrong..." One of the girls said weakly, as if she had thought of something. "I remembered something. I wonder if it's related."
"What"
"A few days ago, Liu Ai attended a class reunion. After returning, her mental state became a little abnormal."
“Something’s wrong.”
"Liu Ai is usually a very introverted person who keeps everything to herself. But after returning from the class reunion that day, she kept muttering that she must marry a wealthy man in District A in the future."
She paused, looking around the dormitory in panic. "And, what's even stranger is that she used to go to bed before 10 o'clock every day, but now she's been staying up late, listening to some really weird music in the middle of the night."
"Weird" Shi Luochen frowned.
"That piece of music makes people break out in cold sweats."
Another girl clapped her hands and added, "Now that you mention that, it reminds me of something. I think this was the song playing on her phone the day she fell from the building."
At the same time, Gu Qingzhou's eyes casually swept across the group photo on the table, and a familiar face came into view. She sat up suddenly, picked up the photo, and handed it to Shi Luochen, "Shi Luochen, look, isn't this Xiaolan and Xiaolu?"
Xiaolan, Xiaolu and Liu Ai were all wearing blue and white school uniforms. The three of them stood together, making faces that were particularly eye-catching among the crowd standing at attention.
Right below the photo, there is a line of large bold letters printed: "Group photo of all students in the fifth grade (2) class of Huaishui Primary School."
Shi Luochen twisted his chin, his eyes dark, and he said thoughtfully, "Qu Zi, Huaishui Primary School, Grade 5 (2) Class..."
-
With new clues, Shi Luochen and Gu Qingzhou came to An Ran again.
At first, An Ran screamed indiscriminately as before, but the moment she heard the "tune", her screams stopped abruptly. An Ran sat on the stool in a daze, her hands tightly clutching her clothes. After a long while, she slowly said, "Yes, I did hear wonderful music on the day Xiao Lan died."
She hugged her trembling shoulders with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. She told them everything that happened in a halting manner, "I don't know. I clearly wanted to save Xiaolan, but at that moment, music came from somewhere. At that time, it seemed like there was a voice in my head, constantly telling me to let go."
She helplessly covered her cheeks, tears sliding down through her fingers, leaving tear marks on her hands. "I really didn't mean to do that. I don't know what happened."
"Tell me, will Xiaolan seek revenge on me?" An Ran raised her head in panic and grabbed Gu Qingzhou's wrist. Because she used too much force, her nails left small bloody wounds on her wrist.
Shi Luochen, who was sitting next to her, pulled out Gu Qingzhou's wrist without leaving a trace, placed it in front of him, and casually took out a few Band-Aids from his pocket and carefully treated her wound.
"Mr. Warden, why don't you despise me now?" Gu Qingzhou raised his hand proudly, and the transparent Band-Aid reflected colorful light in the sunlight.
Like a kitten that had taken advantage of the situation, she shook her hands, hugged Shi Luochen's waist with satisfaction, put her little head on his shoulder, tilted her head slightly, and kissed Shi Luochen's cheek with her two red lips like a dragonfly touching the water.
The sunlight poured down on Shi Luochen's body, casting a soft glow on the fine hairs on his cheeks.
Gu Qingzhou was very close to him, so close that he could see all of this.
She unconsciously raised her hand, and stopped a millimeter away from his cheek, her fingertips gently circling.
Shi Luochen seemed to sense something strange, and his dark eyes sparkled. He grabbed Gu Qingzhou's restless fingers and said, "Stop it."
When he turned to look at An Ran, he changed into a businesslike demeanor, as if the emotion just now was just an illusion. "What is your first impression of the music?"
"It sounds great, and it gives me the feeling of being in a wonderful dream."
"Roommate Liu Ai said the music was weird, but An Ran said it was nice." Gu Qingzhou propped up his head with one hand and casually stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon with the other. "Why are there such opposite answers?"
"Could it be..." Gu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at Shi Luochen with eyes that shone brightly, as if a small flame was burning in them. "Is there a possibility that it is related to the mentality of the person involved?"
"I once heard a psychologist mention that a person's mentality and emotions can affect their judgment of external things. This can lead to the same thing having different effects when you're happy and when you're unhappy."
When "psychologist" Shi Luochen looked at Gu Qingzhou, there were some indescribable emotions in his eyes, as if he was looking at another person through her.
His fingertips slid along the edge of the cup. Perhaps because he was too engrossed, his fingers accidentally got scratched. Shi Luochen looked at it silently and hid his hand in his pocket calmly.
However, Gu Qingzhou, who had a clue, didn't notice this and spoke excitedly, "So that's right. Liu Ai's roommates were horrified by seeing Liu Ai commit suicide, so the music sounded eerie and dark to them. And An Ran, jealous of Xiao Lan, felt joy at seeing Xiao Lan dying, so the music sounded especially pleasant to her."
She turned to look at Shi Luochen, and didn't notice anything unusual about him. She hooked her arm around his neck and said, "Master Warden, am I right in my analysis?"
Shi Luochen's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and a hoarse "hmm" escaped from his thin lips.
Gu Qingzhou was very happy to be recognized. She half leaned on Shi Luochen and asked, "Should there be any reward?"
"What do you want?" Shi Luochen asked instead of answering.
Gu Qingzhou smiled even more happily, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised, her fingertips bent, rubbed Shi Luochen's Adam's apple, "I want you, Master Warden, will you give it to me?"
"Let's talk about it after this case is solved." Shi Luochen's face was calm, but his hands hidden in his clothes had already clenched into fists because of Gu Qingzhou's words.
"OK"
The smile on the girl's face was gentle and affectionate, the sunlight outlined her beautiful profile, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The bright sunshine and the playful girl come together to form a colorful oil painting. In the most inconspicuous corner of the painting, an extremely handsome man is looking at her gently, his phoenix eyes filled with the girl's smile.
Shi Luochen coughed lightly and looked at An Ran seriously, "Did Xiaolan and Xiaolu go to a class reunion a few days ago?"
An Ran looked up in surprise, "Yes! Officer, how did you know that?"
"Just asking, nothing to worry about."
-
After returning to prison, Shi Luochen retrieved all the information about Huaishui Primary School from the database.
As expected, several eye-catching pieces of news were mixed in with the various lists of winners.
It's the headline of local news.
#A female student from Huaishui Primary School fell from a building#
#Huaishui Primary School Bullying Incident#
Shi Luochen clicked on it and immediately, relevant information came flooding in.
It turned out that Xiaolu's class had experienced a bullying incident more than a decade ago. Bullying incidents were rampant in District B, and the reason their class had such a big incident was because a murder had occurred there.
The victim of persecution was a little girl named Shen Yan. She had lived in District A since she was a child. Her parents were well-known local entrepreneurs. However, the good times did not last long. Her parents went bankrupt due to investment mistakes, and the whole family was forced to move to District B.
Except for her, everyone else in Shen Yan's class was born and raised in Area B. The strong psychological gap caused them to particularly hate the people in Area A, and naturally isolated Shen Yan.
Shen Yan once asked her teacher for help, but the teacher ignored her. No one knew what happened in the middle. The information she found only mentioned it in a few words. The only thing she knew was that Shen Yan committed suicide.
It has been too long since the teacher resigned, and some of the classmates have changed their names and identities. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack for a stranger to find them and question them.
"There are only two possibilities now. First, Shen Yan is not dead and is seeking revenge on those who bullied her. Second, someone is avenging her, or killing people in the name of revenge."
In addition to the four dead people, the photos of the crime scene also showed two other strangers.
Gu Qingzhou pinched his chin with one hand and pointed at the two people with the other. "That's right, they are the breakthrough in this case. If we find them, we should be able to find the other classmates. Following the clues, we can find out who attended the class reunion."
"Um."
