Chapter 308 Extra Interrogation
The two of them went to the backstage together. Someone from the club recognized them and was overjoyed. They shouted for help.
The two of them were already juniors and were very famous in the school. Any student who heard about their deeds couldn't help but get to know them.
So nowadays, students in the school may not know the principal, but they definitely will know them.
Someone took the initiative to lead the way for the two of them, and shouted for people to make way so as not to delay Dr. Lu from saving people.
Tiantian habitually carries a needle bag with her, and she also carries a simple first aid kit in her schoolbag when she goes out. Panpan has also developed the habit of carrying a small box with her because Granny Fang and Grandpa Gu had emergency situations before. There are antihypertensive drugs, quick-acting heart pills and other medicines in it, purely for first aid.
When they arrived at the temporary dressing room behind the stage, several people were putting a cotton jacket on Qiaomei, and someone else ran to find the school leader to borrow a car to take Qiaomei to the hospital.
Qiaomei's face was pale and her lips were blue. She was no longer conscious.
Panpan stepped forward quickly and separated the people blocking her.
The club members who were chasing them shouted, "Senior Lu is here, let them see us."
Tiantian rushed forward and asked someone to turn on the lights.
Someone immediately turned on the flashlight.
Tiantian asked the idle people to leave so as not to affect the air circulation, and asked the female members to help undress Qiao Mei to facilitate the acupuncture.
The club was in chaos before they came, but now that they are here, everyone seems to have a backbone and listens to their instructions.
Tiantian first checked Qiao Mei's eyelids, nostrils, and mouth, then pressed her fingers on the Cun, Guan, and Chi points on her left hand, and bent down to listen to the sound of her chest.
Soon she began to give acupuncture, and while giving acupuncture on Qiao Mei's chest, she said a few acupuncture points and asked Lu Pan to help.
Lu Pan cooperated with Tiantian's acupuncture and used a three-edged needle to prick Qiao Mei's left and right fingertips. Soon, purple-black blood oozed out
. Tiantian also pricked several acupuncture points on Qiao Mei's chest, and purple-black blood also oozed out.
Soon, Qiao Mei vomited unconsciously, vomiting a lot of yellow water.
The club members who were helping beside her breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiao Mei's face is better." Someone
outside shouted, "The car is here!"
"Director Xiao is here!"
"Hurry, pack up and send Qiao Mei to the hospital."
Panpan and Tiantian followed them to the hospital. Hou Ying, Xu Xiaoyou and Su Yan took Tomsun to a small restaurant on campus.
They were not hungry, so they just ordered a bowl of noodles and sat there talking.
Originally, Lu Pan and Tomsun planned to stay in a guesthouse outside after watching the show. Now that Lu Pan is not here, Su Yan has to accompany him.
Although the three of them speak average English, three cobblers are better than one. After their supplements, Tomsun roughly knows what is going on.
He said, "It is not uncommon for actors to have a sudden heart attack on the stage."
In his cognition, most of the sudden acute illnesses are heart disease or cerebral infarction. Some heart attacks really have no symptoms before the attack, and even die directly in the sleep.
One of his relatives died in this way.
Because Qiao Mei is Xu Xiaoyou's roommate, Tomsun also comforted her and told her not to worry too much.
After sitting for a while, they estimated that Panpan and Tiantian would not be back soon, and it was getting late, so they dispersed first.
Su Yan and Tomsun went to stay in a guesthouse outside, while Hou Ying and Xu Xiaoyou returned to the dormitory.
Xu Xiaoyou returned to the dormitory with her schoolbag on her back. There were many girls gathered in the room, all of whom came to care about Qiao Mei.
Some of them went to the report hall to watch the show, and some had watched it before but didn't go tonight. They heard that Qiao Mei was in trouble and came to care about her. "Su
Yi, you went to watch the show, is Qiao Mei okay?"
"Chen Lina, you went to the backstage to check, is Qiao Mei okay?"
The people who came were all concerned, and when they saw Xu Xiaoyou come back, they turned to ask her.
Chen Lina: "Xu Xiaoyou, you and Lu Pan and Lu Tian are relatives. They went to rescue Qiao Mei. How is she now?"
Xu Xiaoyou: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen them since they left."
Another roommate, Wang Zhihui, guessed: "Is it an acute heart attack? I heard that sudden heart attacks are very serious. Is Qiao Mei okay?"
Chen Lina glanced at Xu Xiaoyou, "She should be okay, right?"
Su Yi was sitting at the table, looking a little impatient, with a frown on his face. Another roommate, Li Xiwei, signaled the students who came to inquire to go back first, and there should be news tomorrow.
Xu Xiaoyou was about to take the hot water bottle to the bathroom to wash up, but Chen Lina beside him moved too much, and the wash basin slipped out of her hand and hit the kettle next to her. The kettle fell to the ground and broke, and the hot water inside flowed out.
Chen Lina exclaimed, "Oh, sorry, whose hot water bottle is this that I accidentally broke. I'll buy a new one tomorrow."
Li Xiwei: "It's mine, right? It's okay, give me yours tomorrow, and you can buy a new one, but please help me throw away the broken one so that it won't stab anyone."
Xu Xiaoyou said casually: "Throw away the broken liner and buy a new one to replace it. The outer shell is also quite a few dollars."
The school issued a tin shell, which is a bit expensive.
She squatted down to help clean up the broken pieces of the kettle, and Chen Lina came over with a broom, "Xiaoyou, don't move, be careful not to get your hands caught, I'll just sweep it away."
She swept away the broken pieces in no time, and took off her own kettle and installed it, waiting to buy a new one tomorrow.
Everyone's hot water bottle is similar, the only difference is the red, green, and blue shells, and usually they will tie a rope or write their names on the shell with a marker.
Xu Xiaoyou came back from washing up and went to bed. Seeing Wang Zhihui smiling at her, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Zhihui shook her head, "Nothing, I just feel that the dormitory is a little quiet."
Xu Xiaoyou felt it for a while, and it was true. Usually, the noises of people washing up, talking, and playing the radio were quite loud.
Su Yi practices foreign language listening. She likes to listen to the music out loud without headphones. Chen Lina and the other two all say that listening out loud is good and they want them to learn from her.
But Xu Xiaoyou thinks it's a bit noisy. After all, not everyone wants to listen to the music.
But she thinks she can tolerate it. Anyway, she spends most of her time studying outside. When she comes home, she will sleep at the same time as others.
In addition to Su Yi's listening test, Qiao Mei also sings or sings operas. She has a good voice, and even songs she is not familiar with sound very good.
Students from the dorms next door and opposite will come to listen, and can't help asking Qiao Mei to sing again.
Her voice is really good, even people like Xu Xiaoyou who don't like to listen to those babbling operas can listen to her.
She used to be very jealous of Qiao Mei, thinking that she was so good at science and engineering, but she didn't expect that she was also good at singing and singing operas. It seems that she has no special skills except studying?
Qiao Mei invited her to join the troupe, but she felt that she didn't have that talent, so she refused and chose the badminton club.
Badminton is very rare in this era, and she has never played it before.
Su Yi was a little quiet tonight, and she didn't even listen to the listening test.
Maybe because she is sensitive, she always feels that Chen Lina is a little happy?
Chen Lina and Li Xiwei said that they can sleep
well at night. Xu Xiaoyou didn't think much about it, because she studied and exercised during the day, which consumed a lot of energy, so she would fall asleep quickly at night.
Hospital.
After Tiantian's timely rescue, Qiao Mei was not in danger of life for the time being, but she was not completely awake. She still had blurred vision and abdominal pain, nausea, palpitations, and difficulty breathing.
The doctor on duty in the hospital's emergency room diagnosed her with acute gastroenteritis and prescribed her saline solution.
Tiantian said, "Doctor Zhang, is it possible that the patient is poisoned?"
Doctors in the emergency room rotate among various departments. Doctor Zhang is not very old and is not a graduate of a regular medical university. Instead, he was trained as a worker-peasant-soldier student and does not have much experience.
He repeated some of Qiao Mei's symptoms and said, "This is acute gastroenteritis. She must have eaten something bad. It's not wrong to say that she is poisoned."
These days, everyone is not well-off, and ordinary people dare to put anything in their mouths.
When he went to the countryside for medical treatment, he often saw farmers poisoned by mushrooms, wild vegetables, and leftovers. Some even dared to eat meat with green hair. How could they not be poisoned?
Tiantian and Lu Pan discussed it, and both felt that Qiao Mei was more likely to be poisoned.
If you have food poisoning, you will vomit soon after eating, but Qiao Mei did not vomit out the food residue, which means that the food in her stomach had been digested long ago.
Lu Pan thought about it and took out the small medicine box he carried with him.
He was also a young man and had wild imaginations after reading martial arts comics. He wondered how to make the golden medicine? What is the red top of the crane and how to cure it? Can a universal antidote be made?
He asked Mr. Gu for advice and read various medicine books to study the principles and equations of chemical drug preparation.
He found an ancient recipe and studied it with Mr. Gu. He felt that he could make an antidote for daily use.
For example, toxins produced by eating poisonous mushrooms, moldy meat, poisonous wild vegetables, and leftovers, or even mild poisoning by spraying pesticides can be detoxified as soon as possible.
As long as they are not controlled and uncommon experimental toxic substances, common ones in life can be taken in time to save lives and buy time for medical treatment.
He mixed the homemade detoxification pills and medicines he brought with him and gave them to Qiao Mei to drink.
However, they had drawn blood for Qiao Mei before, and Lu Pan also collected the blood dripping from Qiao Mei's fingertips, intending to take it to the laboratory for testing overnight.
The next morning, Xu Xiaoyou and Su Yan had three classes and could not accompany Tomsun, so he went to visit the Capital University of Foreign Languages and Literature and attended classes. The
Foreign Languages and Literature University has foreign lecturers and professors, so it is convenient for him to communicate. The teacher can also invite him to the front to speak to everyone and practice oral English and talk about the situation abroad.
Xu Xiaoyou and Su Yan have been sitting together since the beginning of the school year. Both of them are tall, so they have always sat in the back row.
Normally, the two of them were very serious in class, but today they were whispering to each other that Panpan and Tiantian had not come back yet.
Xu Xiaoyou: "I guess Qiao Mei's condition is very serious, otherwise Panpan and Tiantian would not have come to tell us."
Su Yan: "Is there anything unusual in your dormitory?"
Xu Xiaoyou shook his head: "No."
At this time, Su Yi, who was sitting in front of them, turned around and smiled at Su Yan and Xu Xiaoyou.
Xu Xiaoyou immediately stopped talking and listened carefully.
When the class was about to end, the counselor came with the head teacher and two school security guards, knocked on the door and asked the teacher to go out and said a few words, then the head teacher and the counselor came in and motioned Xu Xiaoyou, Su Yi and the other four to go out for a while.
Xu Xiaoyou's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Su Yi sat there and looked at the teacher for a while before slowly getting up. He exchanged a glance with Chen Lina and the others and then left his seat.
Xu Xiaoyou signaled Su Yan not to worry, and she followed them out.
When they got outside the classroom, the head teacher said nothing, but asked them to go to the political education department with the security guard.
When they arrived at the political education department, they found that the school security director, department secretary, political education director, dean, and principal were all there, as well as several police officers in uniform.
Su Yi frowned, turned around and asked Xu Xiaoyou, "What's going on?"
Xu Xiaoyou shook his head, "I don't know."
Soon they were called to the room in turn for questioning.
When it was Xu Xiaoyou's turn, she was not nervous, but she had a hunch that something had happened to Qiao Mei.
Sure enough, when she sat down to answer questions, the questions were about her relationship with classmates, how was her relationship with Qiao Mei, how were other people's relationships with Qiao Mei, whether there were any conflicts, whether there were any targeted behaviors behind the scenes, etc.
After asking about interpersonal relationships, they asked whether she had eaten with Qiao Mei, drank water with her, etc., a lot of small and detailed questions.
College students of this age have good memories, there is no problem of forgetfulness, and they can give an answer to basically any question.
Xu Xiaoyou answered truthfully.
For example: "How is your relationship with Qiao Mei?"
Answer: "It's a normal classmate relationship. We say hello when we meet and do duty together. But we are all busy with study, our own interests, and our own friends, so we are not very close. Except for meeting in the cafeteria or eating together occasionally in the dormitory, we have never gone out together."
As for the relationship between other people and Qiao Mei, she also described it truthfully. She did not hide what her roommates said about Qiao Mei behind her back, but she did not exaggerate it either.
After everyone asked, the head teacher talked to them individually.
Su Yi was obviously a little annoyed, "Teacher, is there any accident with Qiao Mei? Why are you interrogating us suddenly?"
The head teacher looked a little serious, "It's not an interrogation, it's an inquiry."
Su Yi: "But we didn't do anything, and suddenly this puts us under a lot of mental pressure." She glanced at Xu Xiaoyou casually, and said: "They also asked us a lot of private questions, some of which were suspected of instigating us to stab our roommates in the back, which is too much."
The head teacher told her not to get excited or speak too aggressively, and asked them to go back to eat, but not to walk around or go home, and wait for the second round of questioning at any time.
Su Yi became more and more unhappy, "Teacher, can I call my parents?"
The head teacher thought for a while, "Okay."
Su Yi turned to look at Xu Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, aren't you going to call home?"
Xu Xiaoyou felt that Panpan Tiantian must have known and would definitely arrange everything, so there was no need for her to do anything unnecessary. She had a clear conscience and naturally didn't need to do anything unnecessary.
She shook her head.
Su Yi and a few others left together.
The head teacher glanced at their backs, then looked at Xu Xiaoyou, "You don't have a good relationship with them?"
Xu Xiaoyou: "No, we are all classmates. It's just that my sister and brother are in school, so I study with them more often."
The head teacher motioned for her to go to eat first.
As soon as Xu Xiaoyou walked out of the political and educational building, she saw Su Yan waiting for her downstairs.
Su Yan greeted her, "How is it?"
Xu Xiaoyou: "Qiao Mei must have had an accident. She asked us a lot of questions. I guess she will ask other classmates in the class later."
Su Yan said that Hou Ying went to the cafeteria to help them get food, and the two went to meet together.
It was past dinner time, but Hou Ying had packed it in advance. Since the two of them were late, she asked Zhang Qiang's mother to help warm it up.
Zhang Qiang's mother was a strong woman with big hands and feet, very capable, and Liu Chaoying's parents were also very hardworking.
Except for the time when they were braising meat, they basically worked as a team of two to look after the shop.
Zhang Qiang's mother saw that the three of them looked unhappy, so she asked: "What happened? No matter what it is, don't be afraid, just tell me."
Su Yan hurriedly said that it was nothing.
They ate a little tastelessly.
After dinner, Hou Ying said to Xu Xiaoyou: "Don't go back to the dormitory, let's find a classroom to rest."
The three of them felt more at ease staying together.
Tomson left a message for them on the bulletin board, saying that the foreign teacher from the School of Foreign Languages invited him to dinner and he would come to see them in the evening.
As the three of them walked out of the cafeteria, they were stopped by Wang Zhihui and Li Xiwei.
They ran over, and their foreheads were slightly sweaty in the cold sky.
"Xu Xiaoyou, let's go back to the dormitory and discuss it."
Xu Xiaoyou: "What to discuss?"
The two looked unhappy. Wang Zhihui: "Since something has happened, we can't escape. The school will definitely continue to ask questions. There must be a result. We must communicate."
Su Yan: "What happened?"
Wang Zhihui was originally very nice to Su Yan and always wanted to get close to him, but now he said impatiently: "It's a big deal, it's really an unprovoked disaster."
Hou Ying said: "No matter what it is, everyone just tells the truth. Discussing it will make people suspicious."
The two people's faces changed. Li Xiwei: "What do you mean, senior sister? We are in the same dormitory. It's normal to go back to the dormitory after class. What's there to be suspicious about?"
Hou Ying said: "It doesn't mean anything, don't worry."
The two left with unhappy faces.
It was cold outside. Xu Xiaoyou and the other two went to the teaching building.
Xu Xiaoyou looked a little serious, her mind was a little confused. If it weren't for Tiantian and Panpan, if it weren't for Sister Hou Ying and Brother Su Yan, what would she do if something like this happened today?
Although the police didn't say it explicitly, her intuition told her that something happened to Qiao Mei, and it was a big deal, and it was related to someone close to her.
Combined with the fact that Qiao Mei fainted on the stage and Panpan and Tiantian gave her first aid, Xu Xiaoyou guessed that this was someone's murder?
The police asked them about their relationship with Qiao Mei and whether they had eaten together. Did someone poison Qiao Mei?
Poisoning.
When Xu Xiaoyou was in the countryside, she only knew about toxic pesticides, rat poison, and some poisonous weeds, but after learning physical chemistry, she knew more, especially after entering Capital University to study more advanced physical chemistry courses, she knew more about toxic substances.
□□, thallium, barium chloride, hydrochloric acid, etc., these are even colorless and odorless poisons, which really kill people without leaving any trace.
There are many kinds of highly toxic substances in the drug cabinet of the school laboratory. Only relevant experimental personnel can touch them, and they must sign every time they use them.
But even if the requirements are strict, there are still loopholes in the implementation. After all, it is too troublesome to sign, check, and compare every time. Everyone thinks who would be so bold to steal this?
So, in reality, the inspection is not strict at all, and there will always be someone who can get access to it or even steal it.
Xu Xiaoyou thought about it and felt cold in her heart. What kind of hatred or grudge is it?
To the point of poisoning someone? How can
it be so easy to kill someone?
How can you cross that threshold so easily?
In the countryside, some women were beaten severely by men. They couldn't escape in various ways. They were caught and continued to be beaten. She didn't necessarily kill anyone.
Most people try to curl up in suffering, try to adapt themselves, and wait. They don't dare to take the step of killing someone, even if others think that the man deserves to die.
Is Qiao Mei an unforgivable person?
She doesn't look like the kind of man who commits domestic violence at will.
She is pretty, intelligent, enthusiastic, cheerful, hardworking, kind, and versatile. What kind of behavior does she have that deserves to be hated?
No.
At least Xu Xiaoyou can't think of anything.
She is generous. Every time she goes home, she will bring snacks back to share with everyone. She is also happy to borrow clothes and shoes from classmates. She takes the initiative to find classmates with vocal performance skills to join the club. Because rehearsal delayed the cleaning of the dormitory, she will apologize in time, buy snacks to compensate, and take charge of the cleaning herself next time.
In the limited contact between Xu Xiaoyou and her, every time was polite and pleasant, and there was no conflict.
Could it be that she and Su Yi and the others were not on good terms?
But Qiao Mei was not in the dormitory, so what conflict did she
have with them? The most crucial thing was that they were only in the first semester of their freshman year, so what conflict could there be?
Xu Xiaoyou slowly ruled out the problem with her own dormitory, and it could also be someone else.
At this time, several other classmates who were questioned were also thinking about these questions. Some of them said that Qiao Mei had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend didn't seem to support her performance very much, saying that she was a student in the Department of Physics and that her future work would also be in this field. Why would she waste her time on musicals all day? Isn't that a waste of time?
Some people also saw them quarreling, breaking up, and then reconciling.
If Qiao Mei was really murdered, then it was more likely to be a murder of passion, because Qiao Mei was a very good person in the eyes of her classmates, and they got along well with each other, and there would definitely not be such deep hatred.
In the next two days, Xu Xiaoyou and her friends were questioned twice.
The third time, the female police officer who questioned Xu Xiaoyou suddenly became stern, "Xu Xiaoyou, you had a conflict with Qiao Mei, why didn't you say it?"
Xu Xiaoyou was stunned, "No?"
The female police officer immediately stated the facts. On a few days, she and Qiao Mei were on duty together, but Qiao Mei didn't come back because of rehearsal. She cleaned the bathroom by herself, and she was dissatisfied. She scolded Qiao Mei several times and even kicked Qiao Mei's washbasin.
Xu Xiaoyou froze. Su Yi and the others were splashing dirty water on her? ! ! !
She was obviously not angry at the time, and she was very considerate of Qiao Mei's rehearsal. It was just that she was also in a hurry to go home, and said that it was late, and she didn't scold anyone.
As for kicking Qiao Mei's washbasin, it was even more ridiculous. The dormitory was not big enough, and everyone's hot water bottles and washbasins were placed on the ground and on the washbasin racks. It was normal for her to step on it from behind when she was cleaning and couldn't see.
The key is that this is a very common thing, and others would accidentally kick it.
But soon the female police officer presented more evidence that she had opinions about Qiao Mei, many of which were transplanted and taken out of context.
Even after her roommates in the dormitory proved that she and Qiao Mei were not getting along, classmates in the class and other dormitories on the same floor also proved that she and Qiao Mei were not getting along.
A classmate remembered that she had heard Xu Xiaoyou whispering to Qiao Mei from behind, "What's so great about you, slut?" and other words.
This was clearly a curse from Chen Lina.
Finally, the female police officer looked at her seriously, "Xu Xiaoyou, are you jealous of Qiao Mei?"
Xu Xiaoyou finally returned to her youth, and her mind was in a mess after being bombarded with all these things. Some of the things here were true and false. Some of the words were said by her, but the occasion was wrong. Some of the words were not said by her at all, and some of them she did not mean at all.
After the third questioning, the public security personnel did not let Xu Xiaoyou leave, but asked her to stay in the political and educational department.
Although it was just the beginning of winter, the capital was at a high altitude and the temperature was naturally low. It was chilly at night, and it was a bit cold even in a cotton jacket.
Xu Xiaoyou curled up on the bench, not knowing how to defend herself for a while.
Just now, she said that Su Yi and others had conspired to frame her, but they were suspects, and she also mentioned the incident of Chen Lina breaking the kettle.
Although Li said it was her water bottle, Xu Xiaoyou felt that it should belong to Qiao Mei.
The police took note of it but did not respond. They just asked her to stay here and not go back to the dormitory.
Does Su Yi have a powerful background?
Can her uncle and aunt save her?
Will it bring trouble to them?
Panpan... He must believe that she is not that kind of person. Besides, she has no chance to come into contact with highly toxic chemicals.
And Qiao Mei must have been rescued by Tiantian. I hope she is okay. If she wakes up, she should be able to provide evidence.
The door outside opened and cold wind blew in. Xu Xiaoyou held her cotton jacket and heard someone negotiating.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door and someone came in.
Xu Xiaoyou sat up and looked towards the door, and saw Lu Pan coming in from outside. The little kid had grown up to be an adult, tall and tall, giving people a full sense of security.
The moment she saw Lu Pan, Xu Xiaoyou's confused heart instantly settled down.
Lu Pan strode forward and squatted in front of her, "Sister Xiaoyou?"
Xu Xiaoyou couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, and she wiped them away hastily. She felt extremely wronged, "I don't know why they want to frame me."
Lu Pan affirmed, "Because they are up to something." He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, helping her to stand up, "Let's go, let's go home."
Xu Xiaoyou felt her legs go weak at this moment. She had a hunch that if it weren't for her uncle's family, she would either be forced to go along with Su Yi and the others, or be made a scapegoat by them.
In the face of crime, having power and not having power will lead to completely different results.
Xiaozhuang and Xiaogao saw Lu Pan and Xu Xiaoyou coming out, nodded to them, and went on to negotiate with the remaining police officers.
Because this case is of great importance, after all, it is the highest institution of learning and the pride of heaven, and it is really shocking
that a poisoning incident occurred. Lu Shaotang and his department intervened on the grounds that the case was too strange and there might be enemies secretly instigating it. Several members of the work team were temporarily incorporated into the public security team to cooperate with the investigation.
They have only one ultimate goal - to catch the murderer and severely punish him!
