[Chapter 537, Identity of the deceased]

The first witness was a student from the Conservatory of Music. She was carrying a schoolbag and riding a bicycle on her way to the library. As she passed by the school lake, she discovered a body floating in the lake. Because a singer competition was being held in a nearby gymnasium, the music in the venue was deafening, and screams came one after another from the audience. The girls' screams did not attract everyone's attention.

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao happened to walk out of the venue, and then they discovered something unusual in the lake.

Hearing Xiao Lou say "call the police", the frightened girl who turned pale hurriedly took out her mobile phone, dialed 110 with trembling fingers, and said in a stammering voice: "H-Hello, this, this is the student of Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music. Liuguang Lake, a body was discovered in the lake..."

There were only three of them by the lake at this time.

Xiao Lou winked at Liu Qiao, who immediately jumped into the lake while the girl wasn't paying attention.

In the dim light of the night, Liu Qiao used a card to create a fish tail without anyone noticing. She dived into the depths of the lake and soon swam under the floating corpse. Liu Qiao opened the Night Pearl and carefully observed the surrounding environment. After a while, she swam back to the lake and reported the results to Xiao Lou in a low voice: "No stones, vegetation or anything like that was found under the body, and there was no blood in the lake. Specifically, The cause of death still needs to be judged by Professor Xiao, do I need to drag the body up?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "Don't destroy the scene yet, wait until Han Jiang comes over. The protection of the crime scene is very important. The police may come to a different conclusion. I will do the autopsy, but not in private now."

Liu Qiao frowned: "But since Captain Yu is not the one we know, can he be trusted?"

Xiao Lou gently rubbed his temples and said uncertainly: "If he is Yu Hanjiang in the past, then he must be reliable. Hanjiang is a very outstanding criminal policeman who can solve no matter how difficult the case is. But what I am worried about is, The world we are in is a space created by the gatekeepers based on our memories, whether it is Yu Hanjiang or Ye Qi, they are now equivalent to NPCs and may not necessarily cooperate with us."

If Yu Hanjiang from the past was brought directly into this world, solving the case would become very simple. But the gatekeepers can't be so kind. What Liu Qiao is even more worried about is that Yu Hanjiang and Ye Qi might be hunters. Not to mention helping them solve the case, they might even want their lives?

A gust of night wind blew, and the girl who had called the police was shivering for a while, and her face was so ugly that she was about to cry. She picked up the bicycle that fell next to her, and said in a trembling voice: "The police have sent people over, I, we are going to Wait here?"

"Of course. You are the first witness. The police will definitely ask you a lot of questions when they come." Xiao Lou stepped forward and said Wen Yan, "Don't be nervous. As long as you have nothing to do with the deceased, the police will not ask you questions during routine questioning." It’s embarrassing for you.”

"Well..." The girl wrapped her coat tightly around her body.

A moment later, two police cars appeared in Xiao Lou's field of vision. To avoid attracting too many students' attention, police cars did not blow their sirens when entering the campus. The car soon stopped on the side of the road, the door opened from the inside, and a man in casual clothes stepped out of the car.

——It turned out to be Yu Hanjiang.

He frowned slightly, with a stern look on his face, and walked up to the three people by the lake. At the same time, he waved to his colleagues behind him, and the two detectives immediately set up a cordon around them.

Yu Hanjiang picked up the flashlight and shined it on the lake. Sure enough, he found a body in the middle of the lake. He turned to look at the girl by the lake with sharp eyes: "Who called the police?"

The girl stepped forward timidly: "Police officer, it's me."

Yu Hanjiang took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and said coldly: "Name, age, occupation."

The girl said: "My, my name is Xu Mingyue, I am 19 years old and a sophomore student at the Conservatory of Music."

Yu Hanjiang quickly recorded while asking: "When was the body found?"

"Just now, about nine o'clock."

"Why did you pass by here?"

"The final exam is coming soon. I wanted to go to the library to read tonight. When I was passing by, my bicycle suddenly had a tire. I stopped to check it and saw something floating in the middle of the lake. I walked over and took a closer look and saw it. A human face scares me to death..." The girl has calmed down now and can express herself quite clearly.

"Are these two witnesses also?" He turned around and came to Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao who were standing behind the tree. The moment he met Xiao Lou's eyes, he was suddenly startled, "Professor Xiao, why are you here?"

"Han..." Xiao Lou coughed and quickly changed his title: "Captain Yu, my students and I came to the Conservatory of Music to watch the singer competition. When we came out of the gymnasium just now, we heard a scream coming from the lake. We walked over and found There was a body in the lake, and it was I who suggested that student Xu call the police."

"That's it." Yu Hanjiang nodded clearly, waved to the young detective behind him, and said, "You and Xiao Wu first fish out the body and go to the lake to see if there is anything abnormal."

"Yes, Captain Yu." The two young criminal policemen quickly took off their coats and got into the water. Immediately afterwards, another car drove in and parked next to the police car. A capable female forensic doctor in a white coat put on gloves and came to Yu Hanjiang and asked : "Captain Yu, where is the body?"

"Salvage is underway." Yu Hanjiang looked around, "I'll take a look at the scene first."

"Yes." The forensic doctor was organizing the toolbox nearby. Yu Hanjiang walked around the area with a flashlight. Xiao Lou followed him with his eyes, hoping to find some clues through him.

Soon, Yu Hanjiang was squatting under a tree nearby. He frowned and turned over the soil on the ground. He found a few nails. He used sterile

He put the nails in the bag and looked carefully at the surrounding trees.

On one of the trees, there were small words "Zhang Hengyu and Ning Xue will be together forever" engraved, but the handwriting was a little blurry. Yu Hanjiang took pictures to collect evidence, and then went to the lake and lowered his head to look for clues.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had cooperated several times in the secret room world, so they naturally knew that he was looking for footprints.

If it was a homicide, whether the deceased was pushed into the lake or moved into the lake after being killed, the murderer's footprints should be left on the lakeside. Yu Hanjiang himself was a master of trace science, so he would certainly have thought of this.

Xiao Lou followed his gaze and found a series of footprints by the lake. The person who left the footprints must have been wearing flat shoes. The footprints were small and looked more like a woman's.

At this time, the bodies in the lake were also fished out. The two police officers who went into the water reported the results of the investigation - consistent with Liu Qiao's preliminary investigation by diving just now, no blood, no weeds, stones, etc. were found in the lake. A tool for sinking corpses into the lake.

The female forensic doctor began a preliminary autopsy. Xiao Lou was just an outsider at this time and had no right to intervene in the police team's investigation of the case. However, standing nearby, he could roughly see the characteristics of the corpse, including changes in skin, muscles, and body spots.

The female forensic doctor said softly: "The deceased woman was about 20 years old. No fatal injuries were found on the body, and there were no signs of struggle or fighting. It can be said that she died peacefully. Judging from the performance of the oral and nasal cavities, we can initially determine the cause of death. It was suffocation caused by drowning. The specific situation will still need to be taken back for a detailed autopsy."

The young police officer next to him glanced at the footprints on the ground and actively analyzed: "Captain Yu, these footprints are the same size as the deceased's feet, and the pattern of the footprints is also the same as the pattern on the soles of her sneakers. Only one was found by the lake. Does the footprint of the deceased person prove that the girl committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake?"

Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "Don't jump to conclusions easily."

The young policeman's face turned red, he scratched his head and coughed lightly: "I'm just guessing..."

Yu Hanjiang turned to look at him: "Call the security guard on duty tonight and the school leader in charge of the student affairs department. We will first determine the identity of this student. Before the cause of death is revealed, we will investigate the girl's social relationships in detail."

His eyes were fixed on the tree in front of him, staring thoughtfully at the two names.

At this moment, the girl who called the police suddenly had a ghostly expression on her face and her eyes widened in horror: "Xiao, Xiaoxue?!"

Yu Hanjiang suddenly turned around: "Do you know her?"

Xu Mingyue pointed stiffly at the body on the ground and said: "With her face so swollen, I can't tell who it is, but her clothes and shoes are exactly the same as those of my roommate Ning Xue. We were celebrating her birthday the day before yesterday. A few of them went shopping with her!"

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao looked at each other - it was a good thing that Xu Mingyue, who discovered the deceased, happened to know the deceased. However, is Xu Mingyue's appearance by the lake really a "coincidence"?

Yu Hanjiang walked up to Xu Mingyue and asked calmly: "Are you sure these clothes belong to your roommate?"

Xu Mingyue nodded vigorously: "Yes, I helped her choose these clothes."

Yu Hanjiang raised his chin: "Call Ning Xue immediately."

Xu Mingyue pulled out her address book and dialed her roommate's number. She kept hearing the message "No one is answering the phone." Her face became even paler and she stared at the body on the ground in shock: "It can't really be Xiaoxue, can it? ?”

Yu Hanjiang: "Do you know where Ning Xue went tonight?"

Xu Mingyue said: "It seems that she went on a date with her boyfriend. Tonight is December 31st, and tomorrow is the New Year. She said in the dormitory that she would celebrate the New Year with her boyfriend and go to the square to watch the fireworks..."

Yu Hanjiang glanced at the name on the tree: "Is her boyfriend named Zhang Hengyu?"

Xu Mingyue nodded: "Yes, her boyfriend is very handsome. He seems to be a senior in the Department of Forensic Medicine at the Medical University next door."

Yu Hanjiang recorded all this information, then walked up to Xiao Lou and asked in a low voice: "I'm going to trouble Professor Xiao again. Do you know that there is a student named Zhang Hengyu in the Department of Forensic Medicine?"

Xiao Lou looked calm: "I know, he is the class monitor of our third-year forensic medicine department. He came to the classroom for my professional class this afternoon and sat next to Liu Qiao."

Liu Qiao was startled. She recalled the afternoon class and there was indeed a boy sitting next to her. She remembered that the boy had a handsome appearance and long white fingers. He listened attentively to the whole class. When Xiao Lou talked about key knowledge points, he Take notes in a notebook.

He has good handwriting, as neat as printing. The name on the book is indeed Zhang Hengyu.

Liu Qiao nodded in agreement: "Professor Xiao is right. Zhang Hengyu was sitting next to me during class in the afternoon. He listened to the class very seriously and his expression didn't look abnormal."

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly and glanced at the line of words carved on the tree again.

Zhang Hengyu and Ning Xue will always be together.

Among them, the word "forever" was painted red with ink for some reason.

Xiao Lou obviously also discovered this. He frowned slightly, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Could it be... that there was a dispute in the relationship between the two of them, which led to the love murder?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "It's not that simple."

He glanced at the three people present and said calmly: "Excuse me, you three, follow me back to the police station to take notes."

Xiao Lou was keenly aware of what clues Yu Hanjiang had found, but Yu Hanjiang refused to tell him a word - it was no wonder, after all, Yu Hanjiang was now the captain of the criminal police brigade, and Xiao Lou was just a person who happened to pass by the crime scene. passers-by.

When the police are handling a case, of course they cannot leak secret information to passers-by.

How to pry

Where to open Yu Hanjiang's mouth? What on earth did he think was wrong?
