Reasoning Notes

Chapter 187 Reasoning Notes 4: Return of Ye Shenyue (49)
Ling remembered that in the past, when she came to feed Xiaoxi, she always found some leftover cat food on the ground, but Xiaoxi didn't eat much.Now, she understood, there was another person feeding the stray cat at the same time.

But... the name Xiaojian is really ugly.

The sound of someone sneezing came from not far behind.Jing turned his head, and a figure flashed past the corner quickly.He walked over and saw no one, only to find a string of brand new footprints left in a panic on the snow.

In the distance, the church bells rang heavily and alone in the sky.Those snowflakes seem to be knocked down musical notes.

Christmas 2001.

Ling fell in love with a boy, his name was not Jing, but He Siyuan, a graduate student who was a few years older than her.

Yuan is very handsome, his face is always covered with a thin layer of sadness, he and Jing are two completely different people.In fact, since the teasing at the entrance ceremony, Ling hasn't said a word to Jing.Although they are in the same class, Ling always deliberately keeps a distance from Jing.

And Jing seemed to have forgotten her.He can date many beautiful girls who like his humor and wit.Sometimes he told them about the process of solving a strange case, and their eyes filled with admiration.More often, he was slapped by girls in the corridor of the teaching building for stepping on two boats with one foot.

Such a moment, no matter how you say it, is a bit gratifying.

Ling is very satisfied to find a boy who is better than Jing.Yuan is a little more handsome than Jing, with excellent grades and a good family background. I heard that his father is a high-ranking official in the province.Ling once went with him to meet his parents. It was a family of educated and high-ranking children, and the romantic respect was incomparable.

It's just that Ling can't be sure whether she loves Yuan, just like she can't be sure whether Yuan loves her.Once he was talking on the phone, he specially found a remote balcony, and sometimes he was affectionate and sometimes swearing at the person on the phone.Ling hid in the bathroom and could hear everything clearly.

Later, more and more rumors about the source.A well-meaning classmate told Ling that Yuan was a playboy who made a girl in the school pregnant and dumped her.Ling also met that girl.When she walked through the campus holding Yuan's arm, she turned her head and saw a girl standing far under the tree, looking at this side with hatred and love.

Once, that girl broke into Ling's dormitory and knelt in front of her to persuade her to leave Yuan.That scene was witnessed by many people in the dormitory.Ling was so ashamed that she decided to ask Yuan to explain clearly.

It was a snowy night, Yuan said, he was in the research room, she could go to him.

They met.The research room was very cold, Yuan sat on a chair with a thin quilt on it.The electric heater that was placed aside was not turned on, it was said to be broken, he whispered how cold it was.Ling sat down opposite him and put the handbag on the chair.

The two were talking about relationship issues.Yuan admitted his relationship with the girl.Ling proposed to break up, Yuan readily agreed.He said to her: "In this case, let's go out for the last supper." Ling agreed.Yuan pressed the socket button on the table, hugged her out of the research room and locked the door.

They had a meal at a restaurant near the school and talked for a long time.About two hours later, when Yuan was about to pay the bill, Ling realized that her handbag had been left in the research room.Yuan went back with her to pick it up together, but halfway there, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.He picked it up as if in a hurry.Afterwards, he gave Ling the key of the research room and asked her to get it back by herself.

Ling returned to the research room, opened the door, and the room suddenly became very warm.For some reason, the heater on the floor started working again, driving away all the cold air in the room.Ling saw that her handbag was placed on the seat she had just sat on.Walking straight over, the moment her hand touched the handbag, she seemed to be frozen, and her eyes widened.

There was a corpse lying on the ground. That girl— Yuan's ex-girlfriend, stared blankly at this sinful world with her eyes wide open.There was a deep purple strangle mark on her neck.

"You killed her?" A voice came from behind.

Ling turned her head and saw Yuan standing behind her, with an imperceptible smirk flashing across her face.

One of the most sensational events in the university that year was that Ling was arrested as a murderer.

Ling, who was once so beautiful, soon became a woman with a heart like a snake.Everyone said that she killed the deceased because of emotional disputes.The entanglement between her and the deceased is known to many people.

More importantly, Ling's statement showed that she did not see the body when she entered the research room to find the source.The research room has very few furnishings and is of the type that can be seen at a glance. It is impossible for the corpse to hide under her nose.When she entered the research room for the second time, she found the deceased lying on the ground.Before that, the research room had been in a state of secret room, and the only set of keys was in Yuan's hands.And he confirmed to the police that he had given the key to Ling halfway, which was an electronic key that could not be duplicated.

The case looks so simple.The police handling the case believed that Ling met the deceased who was about to find the source when she was going to the research room. Because of emotional disputes, Ling had the intention to kill her.This is a reasonable explanation, otherwise how would the corpse fly into the secret room?
The research rooms are all equipped with anti-theft windows, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter from the outside.And the only key has always been with Yuan, and he only gave it to Ling on the way back.

The policeman said to Ling: "No matter how much you try to argue, it's useless. There is no one else who is the murderer except you."

Ling aggrieved and shed tears.She squatted in the cold and dark detention room, thinking about everything carefully, but she couldn't think of anything unusual at all.She was sure that she didn't kill anyone, and she didn't know how the corpse appeared in the closed research room.

How ridiculous it is to be wronged but unable to defend yourself!

Two lines of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.In the dark, her grievance endured the loneliness silently.

Suddenly, Ling raised her head.She remembered someone.

The person she hated so much might be able to save her.

He is the legendary famous detective——Yi Tianjing.

Jing rushed to the police station and met Ling who asked to meet him.

"Huh? You want to see me? Who are you?" He scratched his head, his dark eyes filled with confusion.

"Ah—" Ling wanted to cry again, with tears in her eyes.

Jing actually forgot about her.Yes, he really didn't remember, and teasing her at the entrance ceremony was just one of his countless pranks.In Jing's life, there have been too many girls.On his mobile phone, there is a long line of girls' numbers.To Jing, love is just a glass of lukewarm boiled water.He is only interested in the case.

After listening to Ling's statement on the case, Jing fell into deep thought.

The reception room fell silent in an instant, and the night came in through the window, cracking distinct lines on the wall.It was as if the whole world had been emptied and there were only the two of them left.Jing tilted his head silently, his eyelids were half drooped, and the moonlight on his eyelashes fell asleep softly.

Ling quietly stared at Jing.This boy had a very beautiful face when he was quiet, and then Ling heard the voice of flowers blooming in her heart, and after a while, spring filled the whole wilderness.

After a long time, the corners of Jing's mouth moved suddenly, and a misty smile emerged, cruising into her blood.

"Mystery solved," he said.

Outside the window, the night of the whole city was over, and a ray of morning light made his smile transparent.

The real murderer is Yuan.

Jing found three suspicious points: [-]. He used the telecommunications company to investigate Yuan's call records that night.Communication records can prove that no calls were made to the source's mobile phone during that time period.Yuan just rang the phone's ringtone on purpose, pretending to have an incoming call.[-]. The source once said that the electric heater was broken, but after the inspection, it was found that the electric heater was not broken.In Ling's memory, Yuan once pressed the button of the power strip before leaving the research room. He did so to turn on the electric heater to increase the temperature in the room.[-]. In the process of entering the research room twice, Ling remembered that there was one thing missing from the furnishings in the room, and that was the chair that Yuan sat on.

One less chair, but one more corpse, coupled with the low temperature——Jing solved the trick used by Yuan.

Gen kills the deceased, then lays her body in the shape of a chair and freezes her in the snow.This kind of human chair still lacks two chair legs, Yuan should have placed two wooden sticks under the corpse for support.Then he sat on the human flesh chair and waited for Ling to arrive.Of course, it wouldn't do without a disguise like this, so Yuan deliberately put a sheet on the chair.In this way, Ling would not be suspicious of the chair at all, and would only think that Yuan put a sheet on it because it was too cold.

Then, Yuan deliberately asked Ling to go out for dinner, and turned on the electric heater to increase the temperature in the room.The frozen corpse slowly softened and fell to the ground.On the way back, he excused himself and walked away.When Ling went upstairs, he had already slipped quietly to the downstairs of the room where the research room was located, and using the rope he had set earlier, he pulled the quilt and chair legs out of the open window.In this way, the corpse appeared out of nowhere, and his trick of making Ling a scapegoat was successfully completed.

With Jing's help, the police quickly detained Yuan.Under interrogation, he finally explained the killing process.As Jing speculated, Yuan implemented the trick of framing.What makes Ling even more chilling is that Yuan planned to let Ling be his scapegoat from the very beginning, so he dated her.

Her first love ended tragically like this.

Walking out of the detention center, snowflakes are still flying all over the sky.The tears she had just shed hung on her face, and then they turned cold.
