Sometimes, people are more likely to open up to strangers.

Tong Moli didn't dare to tell her teacher or her parents about her worries. But at this moment, facing a big sister who was slightly older than her, but not much older, and very beautiful and gentle, she inevitably felt some admiration and trust in her heart. A

great writer who showed up like this would definitely not sell herself out easily. It's okay to tell her, and... and maybe, she can help me?

Tong Moli struggled in her heart, and finally succumbed to the huge pressure she was under, and her emotions burst out: "They said I forced Miao Tong to death..."

In just a short sentence, she choked up at the end.

The tip of her nose quickly turned red, and tears gathered in her eyes. Tong Moli said, "But I didn't want her to die... Although I hate her, but... How could I want her to die... I didn't..."

Jian Jing gently patted her back and agreed, "Yes, you are classmates, even if there are some small conflicts, it's normal. Who hasn't quarreled with classmates?"

Tong Moli was recognized, and the tense strings finally relaxed. She sobbed and said, "I didn't expect her to commit suicide. I... Why should I die... Woo..."

She broke down and burst into tears.

Jian Jing pulled her to a secluded place, handed her a tissue, and waited for her to recover.

Tong Moli cried for a while, and gradually recovered. She wiped away her tears and said with a strong nasal voice: "I'm sorry, I said a lot of inexplicable things."

"It doesn't matter, you will feel better if you say it out." Jian Jing said, "Miao Tong is the girl who committed suicide? Many people have mentioned it to me."

Tong Moli asked unnaturally: "Is, is that so."

"Hey, the students in your class seem to have doubts about her death. They don't think she committed suicide." Jian Jing said, her tone was just right, with the casualness of chatting, but not to the point of disrespecting the deceased, "What about you, what do you think?"

Tong Moli hesitated: "I, I don't know..."

"Don't be nervous, just chat, your worries are largely caused by her, aren't they? Say it out, maybe the answer is not what you think." Jian Jing patiently counseled.

The girl bit her lip and asked instead of answering: "If she didn't commit suicide, then what was it?"

"An accident, or murder." Jian Jing said, "What do you think."

Tong Moli avoided her gaze: "I don't know."

Jian Jing said nothing, but kept staring at her.

Silent staring is also a kind of pressure. Tong Moli gave in step by step, and finally couldn't help but explain: "I don't think she should commit suicide. I... I just scared her. How could she commit suicide for such a thing!"

Jian Jing: "What did you do?"

"She said she wanted to tell the teacher that she was in love. It's no big deal. Her grades are so good, and the teacher won't scold her." Tong Moli defended herself, "Besides, I haven't told anyone. If you have the ability, just don't talk about it. Isn't it better to break up?"

Jian Jing smiled, a little gossipy: "Who is she dating? Your class leader?"

Tong Moli shook her head mysteriously and whispered: "Miao Tong looks like a good girl. She is good at ballet and piano. Her boyfriend... is from society."

"Little gangster?"

"No, I'm just a very mature adult." Tong Moli said, "During the winter vacation, I went to see my cousin and happened to see her coming out of a man's house, so I... took a picture of her." She

was silent for a moment, then suddenly exploded, as if she had given up on herself, "I hate her. She always does better than me on the exams. No matter how hard I try or how I do the questions, I can't beat her. When we quarrel, everyone helps her instead of me. I hate her so much. She pretends to be kind and generous, and says she doesn't blame me and forgives me. Who wants her to forgive me?"

Jian Jing listened quietly.

"I just wanted to scare her so that she won't pretend in front of me in the future. It's really disgusting."

Tong Moli's jealousy and hatred were revealed at this moment. However, she also realized that what she did was not right, so she had to desperately find excuses: "She did it herself, is she afraid of what others say? If she was afraid of being known, she shouldn't have done it."

But such reasons were ultimately fragile, and even she herself could not convince herself. So, panic took over again, and she muttered: "Besides, I, I didn't really say it, I just wanted to scare her, I really didn't think of letting her commit suicide, really not."

In fact, her darkest thought was to let Miao Tong perform abnormally so that she could move up one place.

This is the college entrance examination, a single-plank bridge among thousands of troops. A difference of one point, a difference of who knows how many hundreds of places, one less strong competitor, will definitely be in her favor.

Death is too far away, too terrible, such a tragic result directly scared her.

"I didn't mean it..." The girl pursed her lips and tears fell, "I know I was wrong."

The joy and pleasure of knowing the secret had long disappeared. She realized belatedly that doing evil might bring temporary benefits, but as a price, she would bear the torture of conscience for the rest of her life.

She was scared.

"I'm sorry." Tong Moli murmured, "I didn't mean it like this."

Jian Jing handed her another tissue and patted her on the back.

The more you come into contact with the case, the more you can see the complexity of human nature. As a detective, it is undoubtedly a simpler way to make less moral judgments and focus more on the case itself.

"Where were you when Miao Tong jumped off the building?" she asked.

Tong Moli was actually relieved. She said, "I'm in the infirmary."

"Are you sick?"

"That one is coming." Tong Moli said, "My stomach hurts so badly. I want the teacher to give me a note of absence. I want to go back to the dormitory to rest."

"What time?"

"The second class has just started."

Jian Jing nodded, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "I didn't expect Miao Tong to be talking to someone outside. Why did I hear that he was a class monitor before?"

"Class monitor? Impossible." Tong Moli's emotions gradually stabilized. "The class monitor is very arrogant. I heard that his family is an official. Anyway, he is very powerful. The teachers are very polite to him. His relationship with Miao Tong is not good." "

Why?"

"When the class monitor election was held, the votes were tied between the two candidates. In the end, Teacher Chen said that boys should work harder and do more work in the future, so Wu Jincheng was made class monitor. Miao Tong was always dissatisfied and felt that the teacher was too partial, so she later competed for the position of the Youth League Committee, and ended up being elected class monitor again."

Tong Moli did not hold a position in the class and was the kind of student who focused on studying. Therefore, she was less concerned about the competition for this position and her evaluation was much more objective than before.

Jian Jing asked with interest: "So awesome?"

Tong Moli showed a disdainful expression: "He is not a very good monitor. Sometimes he takes sides. Obviously, two people were gossiping, but he only remembers the one who usually ignores him and ignores the one who is 'before monitor and after monitor'.

"Last month, during sanitation, Ji Yunyun and Wang Ming were both taking out the trash. He didn't get deducted points at night, but he insisted that it was Ji Yunyun's fault. Wasn't it just Wang Ming who brought snacks and drinks for him every day? He thought everyone was blind."

"So that's how it is. I saw that boy was tall and thin, and I thought he was very popular with girls." Jian Jing said tentatively.

Tong Moli said in a condescending manner: "He is too greasy."

Jian Jing laughed.

"Then who is the most popular in your class? "

"If it's a girl, Miao Tong, Ji Yunyun is also okay, she is very...righteous." Tong Moli's expression was a little complicated, "The boy...uh."

"Who is the boy?"

Tong Moli said a name unnaturally.

Jian Jing understood and ruled out several options of emotional disputes.

The bell for the end of class rang.

Tong Moli woke up as if from a dream, looked around and asked, "The library..."

"It's not far, I'll go by myself." Jian Jing said, "Thank you for leading the way, go back and do your homework."

Tong Moli nodded, stood up hesitantly, and was about to say something.

"Miao Tong..." She bit her lip and asked with difficulty, "Is it suicide?"

"I don't know now, but I will know eventually. "

Ji Feng visited Miao Tong's parents and checked all the girl's belongings.

He found some small gifts that were obviously expensive, but not bought by her parents. He took photos and asked Teacher Jian, who said they were Tiffany keys that could open the door to the heart.

He also told her that Miao Tong's boyfriend was a social person, and Tong Moli provided her home address.

After verification, he learned that the man was 24 years old and an employee of an Internet company. The school did not allow outsiders to enter and leave, and he had nothing to do with Miao Tong's death.

He also retrieved the copied surveillance footage and confirmed Acknowledged Tong Moli's testimony.

She came out of the infirmary and went straight back to the dormitory. She did not leave until the end of the second class.

Jian Jing: [I went to the dormitory to check. They are all equipped with anti-theft windows. It is impossible for Tong Moli to climb over the wall and leave. Tong Moli did not have time to commit the crime.]

Ji Feng: [Where is the boy?]

Jian Jing: [Asking]

Her method of finding squad leader Wu was very simple and crude. She directly asked Ji Yunyun to pass the message. In the last activity class, she took the person to a corner of the library.

Squad leader Wu looked at Jian Jing in confusion: "What do you have to do with me?"

"I have a few small questions. I think you should not mind answering them." Jian Jing motioned Ji Yunyun to go out and asked him alone, "You are a smart child, and you are over 18 years old, so I asked directly. "

She stared into his eyes: "Where were you when Miao Tong jumped off the building?" He didn't answer, and immediately said, "I know you were not in the classroom."

Such an aggressive attitude made Monitor Wu a little flustered for a moment.

He was confused for a moment and said: "Uh, I should be near the library... What's the matter?"

"Tell me about your actions in that class." She curled the corners of her lips, and there was no sign of interrogation on her face. It was more like she was happily chatting with a fan.

Monitor Wu pursed his lips: "That class was a physical education class. Some people studied in the classroom, but the teacher said that it was best not to stay in the classroom and go out and move around often. So a few people said they wanted to go out to play ball, so I went to the gym with them to borrow equipment."

"You went to play ball too? "

No, the school has a rule that borrowing and returning equipment must be registered by the class monitor to prevent damage or loss."

Jian Jing was surprised: "Isn't it the sports committee member who does this job?"

"I used to be the sports committee member, but there were often things missing and not returned, so I changed to the class monitor."

"Then what?"

"I borrowed basketballs, badminton and shuttlecocks for everyone, and planned to find a place to read for a while, and then collect them when the class is about to end." Class Monitor Wu said, "The classroom is too far away, so I thought of going to the library, but before I got there, I saw a group of people running downstairs. I was worried that someone was injured, so I decided to go over to check. Who knew..."

Jian Jing thought for a while, and asked: "Are you familiar with Miao Tong?"

"Not very familiar. "

"Did she show any unusual behavior before she died?"

"I didn't notice it, but I know she didn't do well in the second and third mock exams." He answered calmly, "Maybe she was under a lot of pressure."
