Zhu Yanan didn't get off work until six o'clock, so Jian Jing took a detour to go somewhere first.

With overgrown grass and broken bricks and tiles, Ji Feng's alma mater looked as eerie as a ghost school in the cold winter wind.

She came to the alley where she had climbed in before, climbed over the wall and jumped in, passed through the waist-high grass, and touched the teaching building. Several classrooms on the ground floor still had class signs, which read "Class 13".

It's not right.

Jian Jing stepped on the stairs carefully, and only dared to step on the steel bars.

She didn't dare to guess the cement bricks, for fear that the ground below would be loose and she would die if she stepped down. Before climbing, she was a little hesitant. What if she guessed wrong? But as soon as she saw the broken desk left on the stairs and the footprints next to it, she knew it was right.

There was not much dust on the desk, and it was stuck at a crack. Someone must have done it on purpose.

But strangely, there were only handprints on the desk, but no footprints. It seemed that it was moved here for her to stand on.

Jian Jing suspected that this was a challenge: the things are right there, can you get up?

If you can, why can't I? She was full of desire to win. She braided her hair, lifted her coat and skirt, and jumped up neatly.

Needless to say, the desk was still necessary.

She carefully avoided the rubble and walked up the stairs little by little. Finally, she found the senior class 3 (1) on the 4th floor.

All the desks inside had been moved away, leaving only an old podium. She turned on the flashlight and shone it on the dust on the ground. Soon she found a few blurry footprints.

She walked to the side of the podium and squatted down.

The beam of light swayed inside the podium and fell into a hole.

Jian Jing kicked twice to scare away the insects hiding inside, then reached out to dig.

There was indeed a box in the hole with a small broken lock hanging on it.

Insert the key and turn it.

Inside was a dark blue plastic folder with a label on the surface.

The colorful gradient color was the one she left at the police station.

There was a smiley face drawn on the paper :)

It gets dark early in winter, and Jian Jing is not in a hurry to see what she has. She goes downstairs as soon as she gets the things.

The walk down is steeper, the bricks under her feet are shaking, and small stones are falling down with a crackling sound, which is inexplicably exciting.

Jian Jing deliberately jumped down, and when she reached the bottom, the stairs had collapsed a lot.

She was relieved.

In the middle of winter, the place for her dinner with Zhu Yanan was of course hot pot.

Not only did she come, Liang Yi was also there, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing. I will definitely tell you about the monsoon."

"Then you have to eat more." Jian Jing ordered the dishes without even looking at the menu, and ordered freely.

Beef and mutton, shrimp and fish slices, egg dumplings and vermicelli, vegetable platter... piled until the table could not fit any more.

The three girls were not dieters, so they ate freely.

Liang Yi was very hungry and wolfed down his food. Zhu Yanan was more quiet and asked while eating, "Teacher Jian, you came all the way to me, what do you want to ask? Let me make it clear first, I am not particularly familiar with Jifeng High School, but our homes are close. My mother and his mother used to work in the same unit, and we went to the same kindergarten."

Jian thought quietly and said, "Was he also in this temper before?"

"Of course not." Zhu Yanan rolled her eyes. "This guy is much better now. When I was in school, I hated him so much."

Liang Yi gossiped: "What did he do?"

Zhu Yanan said: "He relied on his intelligence to show off. I remember it very clearly. When I was in kindergarten, everyone was doing IQ tests. The teacher said that if you couldn't finish them, you could go home and ask your parents for help. He finished them before school was over and asked us, 'It's so simple, why don't you know it?'"

Liang Yi: "My fists are hard."

"My mother said that he made me cry. I went home and asked her if I was stupid and why I couldn't answer such a simple question." Zhu Yanan remembered the dark history of his childhood very clearly. "He acted so smart that people who didn't know him would think he was Einstein."

Jian Jing was happy and asked again: "What about high school?"

"It's much better in high school." Zhu Yanan thought for a moment before saying, "In fact, when we were assigned to the same class at the beginning, I didn't recognize him, but he still remembered me and said that I was smarter than when I was a child."

Liang Yi commented: "After suffering a beating from society, he can speak human language now."

"It's still very annoying. He relies on his good grades and never does his homework." Zhu Yanan said, "He reads in class and talks when studying on his own. He disrupts the class order all day long and it's impossible to control him."

Jian Jing: "I really can't tell. I haven't even seen him speeding."

"Come to think of it, it seems that he suddenly changed in the third year of high school." Zhu Yanan tilted his head and recalled, "Let me think, yes, it was the first semester of the third year of high school, he suddenly became different."

Jian Jing was shocked: "Tell me more about it."

"He doesn't attend evening self-study classes." Zhu Yanan explained, "We have strict management in the senior year. Day students can leave early, but they have to attend at least two evening self-study classes. He left after the afternoon class. I remember this very clearly. Not only did he not attend evening self-study classes, he didn't come to morning self-study classes either. He arrived just as the bell rang for the first class every day."

She was very sure: "He is the only one who is different. I am sure I remember it correctly. He was in the senior year."

"What happened?" Liang Yi interrupted.

Zhu Yanan frowned and said uncertainly: "My mother said that something happened at home, but at that time, his mother had passed away for several years and they had no contact for a long time, so it was just hearsay."

Jian Jing asked: "When did his mother pass away?"

"Junior high school." Zhu Yanan said, "It seems to be cancer. My mother's unit also went to see her."

Jian Jing nodded: "About what month did the accident happen in the third year of high school?"

"September or October... It's been a while, and it's not cold anyway." Zhu Yanan asked, "Do you want to ask him what happened at that time?"

Liang Yi: "Why don't you ask him directly? He won't tell me."

Jian Jing didn't know how to explain, so she smiled and said, "Something happened. Is there anything else?"

Zhu Yanan thought hard for a long time before saying, "I was busy reviewing in my senior year of high school and didn't pay much attention to other things, but I remember one thing very clearly. He only filled in one application."

Jian Jing: "Public Security University?"

She nodded: "Everyone filled in five applications I collected, but he wrote only one. I remember reminding him at the time that filling in one application is not safe. What if he is not admitted? It's better to write more."

"What was the result?"

"I thought he would say 'I will definitely be admitted' or something, but he said..." Zhu Yanan said, "If I am not admitted this year, I will repeat the year. I will go no matter what."

Liang Yi: "It's weird."

She ate half full and had the energy to start: "Ji Feng is also very famous in our school. On the one hand, our school beauty pursued him at that time - hey, Teacher Jian, did he tell you this gossip?"

"No." Jian Jing was puzzled, "Who else would pursue him?"

"Listen to me." Liang Yi said excitedly, "You can't blame our school beauty for being blind. He looked very deceptive at that time. His grades were very good. He had good grades in all courses. He looked decent and didn't have a girlfriend. At that time, everyone was simple. They didn't care about family conditions. They just pursued him if they thought he was good."

Jian Jing asked: "Then what?"

"She refused." Liang Yi said, "and then she got beaten up. Well, okay, she might have beaten up someone else. Anyway, they are all in the school hospital."

She shrugged: "This is big news. My classmates all know about it."

Jian Jing asked curiously: "Why did you refuse? What's the reason?"

"I don't know. It shouldn't be a good thing." Liang Yi said, "The school beauty cried in the dormitory."

Jian Jing: "..."

She picked up the shrimps and threw them into the soy sauce, and said slowly: "Did he have good friends in college?"

Liang Yi thought about it and was suddenly surprised: "Don't mention it. He has a lot of friends. He said he was particularly close to someone..." She swallowed two slices of beef and still shook her head, "I don't think he has any - maybe you are one of them?"

"Who is so close to him?" Jian Jing rolled her eyes, "We are just acquaintances."

Liang Yi disagreed: "I think Ji Feng treats you very well, right Yanan?"

Zhu Yanan nodded.

Jian Jing was shocked: "You guys also support this kind of CP?"

Liang Yi & Zhu Yanan: "..."

"No more jokes." Jian Jing got back to the point, "I want to know, if he wants to find someone to help, who might he find?"

Liang Yi pointed at her with the tip of his chopsticks.

Jian Jing: "Me? No." She shook her head. "He always tells half the story and hides the other half. If I knew, why would I ask you?"

"Half of the story is good enough." Liang Yi took a bite of the egg dumpling and said vaguely, "We are still confused now. Is he in trouble?"

Jian Jing thought about it and said, "Now we can only say that he has lost contact."

"How?" " I

can't get through on the phone."

Liang Yi rolled her eyes: "It's not normal that you can't get through to him... Oh, oh oh oh, it's not normal." She made a face at Zhu Yanan and said with a smile, "Anyway, we have to turn off our phones when we are on the move."

Jian Jing shook her head and straightened her face: "It's not work."

"Are you sure? Maybe it's a secret mission." Liang Yi trusted Ji Feng quite a bit and didn't think too much about it. Jian

Jing frowned: "I feel something is not right, why don't you try to call him and see if he answers."

Liang Yi was straightforward and called him immediately. As expected, the result was still "The number you dialed is turned off."

She shook her head: "What should I do, do you want to find him?"

"Let's find out the situation first." Jian Jing said, "Have you heard him mention any old cases?"

Zhu Yanan made a "helpless" gesture: "We are not in the same system."

Liang Yi thought for a while and said: "As for the old cases, I remember one thing. When we had a graduation dinner, everyone drank too much. He suddenly asked Brother Yang - uh, he is Ji Feng's buddy, the two of them lived in the same dormitory - if he had heard of the 11.2 cremation case."

Jian Jing silently took note.

The three of them ordered ramen noodles and ate tomato beef noodles with hot pot and beef slices before going home.

Before leaving, Liang Yi said, "If you want to ask about Ji Feng's personal affairs, we have done our best. If it's something else, we will definitely help you. Don't hesitate."

Jian Jing thanked them, "We have helped a lot."

"We have caught that grandson. Give us his phone number." Liang Yi said, "Yanan, we will beat him up with hot pot later." Zhu Yanan

smiled and added, "I just remembered something that you might want to know - Ji Feng's father seems to be called Ji Liming, and he used to be a policeman."

After returning home, Jian Jing immediately searched the case online.

The 11.2 corpse burning case, also known as the "Heping City serial murder and corpse burning case", is a super-major case that has lasted for many years.

It all started on November 2, 2002.

On that day, sanitation worker Chen Dagang went to the police station to report that he had found a burnt body.

The police at the police station followed his instructions and found a burnt female body in a chemical plant that had been abandoned at the time. The body's appearance, fingerprints and clothes were all burned, and it was impossible to identify the identity. The skeleton was relatively intact. After forensic identification, it was believed that it was a young woman between 20 and 28 years old who had never given birth.

There were not many traces left at the scene, only half a shoe print was extracted, size 40, and after comparison, it was found to be a very common type of rubber shoe on the market.

The pattern on the soles was badly worn, so they were probably not new shoes. Considering that this model of shoes was relatively cheap, the killer's financial conditions were probably not very good.

Apart from that, there were no more clues.

The police were at a loss. On the evening of November 8, the truck driver called 119 and said that he saw flames at the construction site by the river. He was afraid that there was a fire, and asked the firefighters to go and check the situation.

The firefighters arrived at the construction site fully armed, but did not see a fire, only a burned body.

Like the charred bodies in the abandoned factory, the appearance of this body was destroyed, and no useful information could be detected. They could only judge that it was a young woman in her 20s based on the bones.

In addition, because the discovery was made earlier, there was still some unburned fuel left at the scene, which was determined to be No. 0 diesel after testing.

The two cases were highly similar, and the means were extremely cruel, which soon attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Under the leadership of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a large number of personnel were invested in the investigation.

However, this was just the beginning.
