Compared to the two secretive girls, the yellow-haired guy and the crew-haired guy were much more open-mouthed.

They were just a little uncomfortable, and then they answered, "Actually, our club was founded by him. Brother Chang is experienced and a very nice person. He always led us in activities. But later... he had an accident."

"Tell me more about it." Ji Feng said calmly.

The man with a buzz cut sighed and said slowly: "Let me put it this way, Chang Ge's death has something to do with Jia Yue. We were also climbing the mountain that day, and there was a very steep place, and Chang Ge told us not to go there. But Jia Yue was self-righteous, so he wanted to act cool and pretend to be cool, so he deliberately jumped over there, but he stepped on empty air and almost fell down."

"That was really close, luckily Chang Ge grabbed him." The yellow-haired man looked gloomy, "but Chang Ge also exhausted his strength because of this, and after pulling him up, his feet slipped and fell down. When we went down to save him, he was... gone."

Ji Feng and Jian Jing exchanged glances.

She asked, "What about Zhou Chang's family? Do you know anything about it?"

"Chang's parents are very sad, but they didn't blame Jia Yue. They said it was an accident." Ban Cun couldn't help but speak well of them, "They are all very good people."

"Is he an only child? Does he have an older brother or sister?"

Both shook their heads, "Chang is an only child. We have been talking about this. His parents don't know what to do in the future. We'd better visit them every year."

Jian Jing nodded, indicating that there was nothing else to ask.

Ji Feng understood and turned to the next question, "Jia Yue is dead. I have a question. I hope you can answer it truthfully."

His expression was serious and his eyes were compelling, which made the two boys nervous involuntarily.

"You guys hit him while driving your car the evening before yesterday," Ji Feng said word by word, "was it a human?"

The two boys were startled, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, their muscles unconsciously tensed, revealing an obvious defensive posture.

But their defenses were worthless against the two people opposite them.

Under the overwhelming momentum, the yellow-haired guy was the first to give up, hesitating: "I, I was sitting in the back seat, I didn't see clearly, I don't know."

Ji Feng knew that he shouldn't let the two of them share the pressure, so he stared at the crew cut and said aggressively: "What about you, were you also sitting in the back seat, didn't you see clearly?"

The ending tone was full of sarcasm.

The man with a crew cut straightened his back, but soon it slumped, avoiding his gaze: "I, I'm not sure, anyway, we hit something. The road was narrow and there was no way to park, and the lighting was not good. After we returned to the camp, we found that the front of the car was flattened."

After a pause, he defended himself in a wolfish manner: "I never said it was a zombie. It could be an animal in the mountains, otherwise how could there be such claw marks?"

Ji Feng asked: "Who said it was a zombie first?"

He pursed his lips and glanced at the yellow-haired man. Huangmao reacted strongly and jumped up to clarify: "It wasn't me, it was Jia Yue who brought it up first. I just thought... it was cool."

"Cool?"

Huangmao blushed and stammered: "When you encounter zombies... it's cool to talk about it with others." In panic, he pointed the finger at Jian Jing and said, "When I talked about zombies, you were also interested, right? I just wanted to brag, you can't blame me." Jian Jing

glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to such a person. It was obviously his own vanity, but he had to blame the listener for his face. How could this be called "no sale, no murder"?

"That is to say, you didn't get out of the car to check, and drove away directly, right?" It is not certain that it was a car accident yet, and Ji Feng tried to use neutral words as much as possible to avoid causing the suspect's disgust.

The crew cut hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, that's it." Ji Feng dug a trap calmly, "When the signal is restored, I will ask someone to check it out. If you remember anything, you can always come and talk to me."

The interrogation of them ended here.

Since the others have been interrogated for the second time, there is no reason to let the man with a broken bone go. His room is opposite to the two Jian Jing people, and he must have passed through their line of sight when he entered and left. In the whole afternoon, he only went out once at around 14:00 and came back in a few minutes. There were few motives and opportunities for him to commit a crime.

Therefore, this interrogation is mainly to find out whether he saw or heard anything.

The man with a broken bone seemed to be honest and dull. He answered whatever was asked: "A little after 1:30, I saw that reporter, walking around in the back. I don't know what."

"Was she alone at the time?"

He nodded: "It was raining heavily and there was no one else around."

"Did you see anyone else?"

"Later, there was another person hanging around the warehouse." The man with a broken bone recalled, "It should be one of the four students."

Ji Feng raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that? Didn't you see her face clearly?"

"No." The man with a broken bone said embarrassedly, "I just glanced at it twice, not looking closely. I just remember it was a black umbrella with an orange rim. Didn't those students have the same umbrella?" The

students were from the same club. Not only were their equipment similar, but their umbrellas were exactly the same, even with the abbreviation of their club.

"What time was that?"

The man with the broken bone shook his head apologetically: "I don't remember, it was just a glance, I didn't pay attention."

This is also human nature.

The two could not get more clues, so they had to temporarily say goodbye and go back to the room to sort out the case.

"The four companions of the deceased are the most suspected now." Ji Feng went straight to the point, "The second is the waiter."

The heavy rain washed away the road surface, causing everyone to be trapped. It was an accidental incident. Reporter Chai and Zhu Guguo, who happened to meet, had no motive to kill a passerby.

The companions are the most suspicious and have the most chance to do it. All four people are currently suspected, including Gao Ponytail, who was unable to move due to a foot injury.

The waiter's motive is not great, but he also has it.

The biggest attraction of this hotel is the "zombies". Considering its remote location and lack of customer traffic, it is not impossible that the zombie murders were artificially created to attract attention from the outside world and gain fame and money.

Jian Jing said: "I am more concerned about the way the deceased died. If he had been poisoned, there was no need for the murderer to hit him so many times. Was he venting his anger or trying to cover up the poisoning?"

"Is the head injury antenatal or postmortem?" he asked.

She replied: "The signs of poisoning on the corpse are not obvious. I tend to think that the head injury is the fatal injury. Therefore, it is also possible that the murderer first poisoned the deceased to make him lose the ability to resist, and then took heavy blows, disguising himself as a strong man to mislead our attention."

"The person who poisoned and the one who killed the victim may be different people," Ji Feng said. "It's a multi-person crime."

Jian Jing immediately thought of the classic Oriental Express murder case and guessed, "Were the four of them insiders? To avenge the innocent Zhou Chang? But in that case, the two boys don't have a good alibi."

He smiled and said, "It's just an idea. I don't want to limit the murderer to one person. Because everyone has limited time. To poison, to kill, to deal with the scene, the task is arduous."

Jian Jing said, "Then let's arrange the time."

She made a list according to her habit.

12:20 The deceased went downstairs to eat, and the last time he appeared in the public eye.

12:40 Huangmao and the crew cut left, the deceased returned to room 20413:

05 Meatball gave him a brown sugar steamed cake13

:40 (Witnessed by Gaomao) Reporter Chai went to the crime scene to take photos, the photos are evidence13

:50 Reporter Chai returned to the room14

:05 The man with a broken bone came out to use the restroom (Witnessed by Jian and Ji)

14:10 Reporter Chai asked Jian Jing to borrow sanitary products14

:20 Huangmao and the crew cut separated14

:30 The rain stopped (Witnessed by Reporter Chai's video)

14:35 Huangmao came back loudly, knocked on the door and asked for food15

:20 Huangmao said he saw instant noodles (did not see the deceased)

15:30 Huangmao and Reporter Chai

met Time of death of the deceased: 13:00-15:00

Ji Feng couldn't help but say: "Teacher Jian, your way of naming is a bit special. Can't remember people's names?"

"I am happy to." She said, "Stop talking nonsense. Do you think that reporter Chai and Huangmao are very busy?"

He nodded: "The reporter took a lot of photos, but it was barely within a reasonable range. Huangmao's actions were a bit too deliberate."

Jian Jing said: "I think so too. He knocked on the door very loudly, perhaps intentionally creating a memory point to let us know that he is back. Moreover, it looks like he went to the toilet, but he may not really go to the toilet."

The toilet and the emergency exit are in the same direction. They can only see people passing by in 205, and they can't be sure whether they went to the toilet or left later.

In any case, the 40 minutes of diarrhea left a lot of room for maneuver.

"The instant noodles he mentioned seem to be misleading the time of death of the deceased." She held her chin, "Let us think that after 14:35, the person is still alive - but what's the point of this?"

Ji Feng agreed: "It's the other way around."

To mislead the time of death and make people think that he is still alive after being killed, Huang Mao should have found an excuse to ask for things after he had diarrhea (killed the person). At the same time, he prepared instant noodles for himself and pretended that they were sent by the deceased.

Doing this now is completely meaningless.

"Then, the deceased may have died before 14:35." Jian Jing said to herself, "He covered up for someone else? Could it be the bun-headed man?"

Huang Mao was willing to cover up for the murderer, so he must be someone he knew. Gao Ponytail's foot was injured, so he was not very suspicious. The crew cut had been with him the whole time, so there was no time for him to commit the crime before 14:20, and there was no need to do anything unnecessary.

The only suspect is Bun-haired.

She delivered food to the deceased, so it is possible that she poisoned him. If the deceased was already dead before Yellow-haired came back, it would make sense for Yellow-haired to cover up for her.

But Gao Ponytail said that she had never left the room.

Isn't it a bit too bold for three people to conspire?

She turned the pen and asked Ji Feng, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that Teacher Jian is worthy of being a writer. His reasoning is very personal." He said.

Jian Jing raised his eyebrows, "Are you insulting me? You said I can make up stories, right?"

"No, I'm complimenting you." Ji Feng sat down, put his arms on the back of the chair, and tapped it from time to time, "The murderer hit the deceased's head many times and killed a chicken specifically, just to frame the zombie, right?"

She nodded.

"That's very strange." He said slowly, "It's hard to say about the two girls, but Xu Bin, the yellow-haired guy, I don't think he agrees with this approach."

Jian Jing paused and said, "He feels guilty."

"Yes." He said, "The students are not stupid. They either know or they suspect that someone was hit that day. Knowing that there was a problem, they still wanted to draw everyone's attention to the zombies. They are so brave."

"There are two possibilities. One is that they were unaware, such as the two girls who simply took advantage of the situation. The other is revenge, using the zombie excuse he made up as a cover to kill him, which is more dramatic than cause and effect." Jian Jing said, "However, if the motive is related to Zhou Chang, it won't be ceremonial enough."

"We should investigate the car accident carefully." Ji Feng sighed, feeling quite depressed.

The basis for the police to solve cases is advanced criminal investigation technology, a huge social information database, and resources that can be mobilized at any time. In a blizzard mountain village like now, the most basic personal information is missing. I am really not used to it.

He said: "Forget it, I will go and find the murder weapon. This thing is very critical. What about you?"

"Write a composition." She said coldly.

Ji Feng smiled and said: "I said it was an exaggeration, why don't you believe it?"

Jian Jing ignored him, occupied the table and chair in the room, and buried her head in writing and drawing - he shook his head, closed the door and went out - she sorted out her thoughts and listed several directions.

——Motive

for the murder: creating a sensation, Zhou Chang’s death, car accident (?)

Method of murder: poisoning, blunt attack

Framing (trick): zombies (horror legend? revenge? sensational news?)

Single or multiple perpetrators? ?

Questions: Where did the umbrella go? Why can’t the murder weapon be found?
