Chapter 435: Accomplice - Fanaticism (Part )

Six accomplices in the case
Eighty-three Fever (Part 1)
"Did Tu Siyao tell you that we sent someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts?"

The door of the central control room on the basement floor of the main auditorium of the administration building, which was being renovated and wired, was half open, and the sound of circuit boxes mixed with the dull operation of exhaust ducts rumbled from the ears to the top of the head.

Jiang Mo put his hand on Xiao Letian's shoulder and raised his chin to point at the wall display screen that was spliced ​​together with two pieces of different colors, indicating that he should pay attention to the movement of people near the small east gate on the side of the grove of the University of Finance and Economics during the time when Tu Siyao was suspected to be missing. When he withdrew his gaze, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept across the picture on the surveillance camera facing the main entrance of the auditorium. He frowned and took a closer look at the group of fan students who were obviously stronger than before and pushed around in disorder. He turned his head to look at Fu Yang, who was staring at the large surveillance screen with some worry, and took a deep breath with a hissing sound.

"What did Tu Siyao say to you on the phone before he lost contact and whereabouts?"

"In the beginning, I didn't really say anything... You guys just saw what happened between Yaoyao and our instructor. It's considered a good thing to say that she was making trouble for me... So ever since Wang Qin got to know about the lawsuit by flattering me, she would usually tell me if she asked for leave from school or had any situation that needed to be reported. And He Dong is the class monitor, so if there are any unexpected events or problems at school, we can discuss it with each other."

Fu Yang was really upset, his eyes moving up and down and left and right as he watched the surveillance video. He pursed his lips and held his breath while speaking, then raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes vigorously, "...There was an event at school today, and she felt bad when she asked for leave, so we just chatted for a while, and she... kind of mentioned to me that the police were watching her whereabouts without any context -"

Fu Yang drooped his eyelids and paused for a moment, as if he had just realized that in Tu Siyao's seemingly casual chat on the phone, there seemed to be a strange and sad emotion suppressed and flowing. "I asked her at the time why she didn't rest in the rental house for a few more days, and she said that there were policemen squatting near her house... She couldn't understand why no matter whether it was Song Zhiwen and the others, or the police... they all stared at her as if they were guarding against some unforgivable person, making her breathless - she went back to school for this reason. After all, school is relatively safer, and the police would not have to squat no more than 200 meters away from her. I also advised her at the time that after all, she was an eyewitness to the murder case, and it was better to have the police protecting her than to be terrified and not know when the murderer would come to her house to rob her of money and kill her..."

"Tu Siyao wants to escape from police control?" Jiang Mo's brows tightened. "What else did she say?"

"I guess... not really... she's just in a bad mood lately, and someone's been staring at her and she's feeling aggrieved - she really just wants to relax, nothing else." Fu Yang swallowed hard when he heard Jiang Mo's questioning, and suddenly realized that his verbatim retelling seemed to be very likely to cause ambiguity. He hurriedly tried to make up a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he was not convinced. He muttered in his throat and raised his eyelids in the direction of Jiang Mo: "With your attitude, it's clear that you treat her as a suspicious person. Qing is waiting to use her to fish, so it's no wonder that she is annoyed by being stared at..."

"Don't you kids just know what's good for you?"

Xiao Letian, who had been listening to the computer surveillance for a long time, couldn't hold his temper anymore. He turned back and said a few words with his neck stiff, "That's a murderer! We were so nice to you and thought we were just playing house with you? The reason you concealed clues and evidence and refused to cooperate with the police investigation was because you are still students. You shouldn't have a murderer smeared on your resume for no reason—"

"I know...but..." Fu Yang choked and sighed awkwardly, "I can't even say a few words from Yaoyao's perspective...Anyway, she really wanted to stay away from you, but she must have something to do if she left school temporarily...I have her home phone number. The old lady is really not in good health recently. When I couldn't find her today, I called her home, and it was a neighbor who helped answer the phone. I asked her if she needed to move some money. If she goes to the hospital, at least she has money in her pocket to feel at ease. She didn't agree, but told me that she left in a hurry and forgot to take the passbook and deposit slip at the rental house. If she needs anything, , asked me to help her mail... send it--" Fu Yang blinked, fluttered out the mobile phone in her pocket, and flipped out the message that popped up on her phone less than half an hour after she hung up the call. Her wrist was shaking in disbelief, and she handed it to Jiang Mo tremblingly, covering her mouth to hold back the crying voice in her throat, "Officer Jiang... I... when I received the message, I thought Yaoyao just wanted me to help her organize the valuables in the rental house... At that time, I was busy with the preparations in the auditorium with He Dong, and I probably glanced at it and didn't think much about it... But now it feels like... it's like explaining her funeral--"

"Don't cry yet. Tu Siyao mentioned in the message she sent you that she wanted to see if she could return to Sheng'an in two days - is there anything going on in two days?"

Jiang Mo frowned as he took the message from Fu Yang, turned around and took out the vibrating phone from his pocket, raised his hand and handed the call from Zhou You who went to the dormitory to confirm Tu Siyao's suspected disappearance to Xiao Letian's ear. He lowered his eyes and read Tu Siyao's long message, which was almost like a suicide note, one meter and three lines long. He picked out a time point that didn't seem to be mentioned casually. As soon as he finished his deep question, two sets of footsteps were heard running in the corridor, accompanied by a rustling sound of footsteps above his head, which rustled into Jiang Mo's ears.

"Two days later... It seems that was the day Yaoyao went to the publishing house to negotiate a settlement with Chai Qing and agreed with Song Zhiwen that she would clarify and Yaoyao would withdraw the lawsuit—"

Fu Yang blinked hard and shuddered suddenly. She looked at Jiang Mo somewhat at a loss, her throat was dry and tight from swallowing saliva, and before she could continue, she saw a short and childish figure running through the corridor outside the half-open door, grunting and quickly turning back, then quietly holding onto the iron door of the control room, staring at Jiang Mo's profile with affection, pursing her lips and holding back for a long time before barely keeping from shouting.

"Zhou You said on the phone that he had confirmed with the dormitory manager and roommates that Tu Siyao may not have returned to the dormitory before the dormitory was closed last night. He probably thought that with so many people in school, it would be easy to divert attention and take the opportunity to slip out of the supervision area—"

Xiao Letian took the phone and kicked his swivel chair hard. He raised his head and followed the line of sight of his senior sister who was raising her index finger and hushing, and saw Zhou Nanyiyi who was quietly opening the door. He waved in a friendly manner and was about to stand up and hand him a candy, when the noisy noise above his head suddenly became louder and several screams suddenly pierced the nerves of everyone present.

Jiang Mo immediately looked up and saw the crowd in chaos on the surveillance screen. His scalp suddenly tightened. He picked up Zhou Nan and threw him into Fu Yang's arms, then turned around and rushed out.

"Letian'er, come over! There's something troubling upstairs!"

Due to work and health reasons, I will be working on another day~
