Chapter 17
Everyone was in an uproar.
It’s not that they didn’t suspect Fang Chenyu and Gao Jichang, but right now everyone was only discussing the murderer who killed Liu Huaixin. According to their three lines of investigation, the murderer’s motive was still unclear. Then of course, any acquaintance who was in the building at the time of the crime could be involved.
Fang Chenyu and Gao Jichang taught the same grade as the deceased, so they are of course the most likely suspects. But this does not rule out the suspicion of the other four teachers and parents.
Li Qingyao's words were too certain, which was tantamount to asserting that the motive for murder was related to emotional entanglement. Although Chen Pu also said at the scene that day that this case was closely related to the Zhang Xiyu case, it was only one of the investigative directions and a possibility at the time.
After all, the Zhang Xiyu case happened a year ago. At that time, the Municipal Bureau and the Education Bureau attached great importance to it and closed the case in a low-key manner. Now that Li Qingyao said this, it was tantamount to overturning the verdict, and it also involved the head of the grade group and a key class teacher of No. 29 Middle School. It was really too sensitive. It was foreseeable that the subsequent investigation would face tremendous pressure. No wonder they were in an uproar.
Li Qingyao faced everyone's complicated gazes and was about to speak when he noticed that although Chen Pu lowered his head, there was a faint smile on his cheek and his brows were completely relaxed.
Li Qingyao curled his lips slightly, looked away, and began to state: "I have three reasons:
First, in the semester before Zhang Xiyu's death, her grade ranking in the final exam improved by nearly 100 points, but people around her did not see her studying hard. She also spent a lot of extra time on Sun Haochen, which was not normal. On the contrary, she did very poorly in the following quizzes and monthly exams. Therefore, I suspect that someone gave her the answers to that final exam in advance;
Second, her attitude towards Sun Haochen was very strange. If I just have a boyfriend who is a college student, is it necessary to keep it secret to that extent? Don't even tell your best friend. I don't think she is afraid of being discovered for having a premature love relationship, but she is afraid of something. Sun Haochen also confirmed that Zhang Xiyu's brand-name clothes were bought by others, and that she had sexual experience and was familiar with the reasonably priced hotels nearby. But no one knows who this person is, which means that this person's identity must not be exposed;
Third, several close friends and Sun Haochen mentioned that Zhang Xiyu had emotional problems, her moods were unstable, and she was depressed all day long. From their descriptions, it was clear that her mind was not on studying and she didn't care at all. I suspect that during that time, there were huge problems in her relationship with that person, which was the main reason for her emotional breakdown and jumping off the building, rather than the study pressure written in the case report.
Combining the above three points, this person is a male that Zhang Xiyu can come into contact with in daily life, has financial strength, is an adult who can take her in and out of regular hotels, can get the answers to the final exams of various subjects, and his identity cannot be exposed. Among the six suspects, only Fang Chenyu and Gao Jichang meet the requirements. ”
Everyone was silent. First, the amount of information Li Qingyao mentioned was too much. Second, the evidence she mentioned was scattered all over the transcript, so everyone was looking for it.
"Do you agree with everything she said?" Chen Pu's cold voice sounded. Li Qingyao glanced at him, and the hint of smile on his face disappeared. Captain Chen put on his poker face again. Li Qingyao really wanted to know, was he for her or against her?
"I have some doubts." Fang Kai raised his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, everyone listened attentively.
Fang Kai said seriously, "I think the three points you mentioned are all possibilities and speculations, without any definite evidence. When we investigate a case, we must rely on evidence. I can refute you one by one now:
First, you infer that someone gave her the answer and therefore infer that that person was the teacher. But I can also speculate that she cheated in the exam by herself or with the help of other students. So the first point does not hold true;
Second, Zhang Xiyu was under too much emotional pressure. Perhaps because of this, she did not dare let anyone know about the existence of Sun Haochen. After all, people with psychological problems cannot be judged by common sense. As for whether she is a virgin, that is just Sun Haochen's one-sided statement. She could also inquire about those hotels in advance. As for those clothes... I really can't think of them. I can check, but I can't conclude that they were gifts from a lover, right?
Third, her classmates all said that she didn't care about her grades, so you inferred that she had other sources of pressure. I have read the transcript from last year. She was under a lot of pressure from her family and there was something wrong with the way they raised her. What if she just cared a lot about her grades and that’s why she committed suicide by jumping off the building, but she just didn’t show it normally? Isn’t this the case for many minors?
If it's just the reasons you just mentioned, I can't agree with it. ”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The newcomer felt embarrassed. But when it comes to the case, Fang Kai is no longer the easy-going big brother he usually is.
Yan Yong had already sided with Fang Kai. He felt a little bit sorry for Li Qingyao's silence. He scratched his head and subconsciously glanced at Chen Pu, only to find that Chen Pu's expression was also very serious. He thought it was not good. The boss had always been as hard as iron. When he was a newcomer, he had been scolded to tears many times. Was Chen Pu going to take action against Li Qingyao now? Such a well-behaved and honest girl, she won't cry...
Sure enough, Chen Pu said, "Okay, let me tell you..."
“There’s more to it than that.”
Li Qingyao's voice and Chen Pu's voice sounded at the same time, and Chen Pu stopped talking and looked at her.
To everyone's surprise, Li Qingyao's expression remained calm. She said, "It's like this. I didn't finish explaining it just now.
Yesterday at No. 29 Middle School, I specifically learned about their final exam system, which is very strict. First, they have to change classrooms, and each classroom has four teachers to invigilate, and students sit according to their ranking. I also looked at Zhang Xiyu's ranking table for the exam and the scores of people around her. There were so many poor students, all of whom ranked dozens of places lower than her. I also looked at her scores in each subject. The three subjects with the highest score increases were mathematics, physics and English - these three subjects have the most multiple-choice questions, and even if she cheated and looked through the books, she couldn't find the answers. Moreover, mathematics and physics were her worst subjects before. That’s why I think that she had no one to copy from and nowhere to copy from, so the most logical thing for her to do was to memorize the answers in advance.
The second point is whether her secret lover exists. I think Sun Haochen does not need to lie. From our conversation with him, we can see that he is a person who cares a lot about face. One of the purposes of dating a high school girl is to find a virgin. There is absolutely no need for him to lie and cuckold himself. He has no interest in this case and no motive to lie.
In addition, I also visited Zhang Xiyu's home early this morning. Her mother was quite cooperative and kept all her clothes. I found that she also had many pieces of brand-name underwear, all adult brands, some of which cost two or three hundred yuan each. Her mother didn't recognize those brands at all and didn't know their value. I don't think any ordinary friend would give her so many branded underwear, except a lover.
