China's famous detective Jiangnan: There are ghosts on campus

Chapter 24 Pressing every step of the way (1)

Back at the football field, Luo Shan and Zhang Yao were laughing and talking about something, very lively.Seeing me sweating profusely, Luo Shan threw a bottle of drink to me and said with a smile: "Haha, Jiangnan, how are you playing with Zhang Xiaoqi?"

I took a big sip, then sat down and replied: "It's okay, I just feel a little tired."
"Jiangnan, do you rarely come out to exercise?" Zhang Yao also said to me with a smile, "You look very pale."

As he said that, Zhang Xiaoqi also came over with an angry look at this time, causing Luo Shan to ask with a smile: "Zhang Xiaoqi, why do you have such an expression? None of us owe you money, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoqi stared at me and replied angrily, "I was tricked by someone, do you owe me?"

Luo Shan's questioning face was confused by Zhang Xiaoqi's answer.

Next, we sat and chatted, Luo Shan and Zhang Xiaoqi gagged, humorous, Zhang Yao had a wide range of knowledge, learned a lot, and the chat was refreshing.Although I don't say much, I also feel that the atmosphere is very good.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, what are you going to do?" Zhang Xiaoqi asked with a smile.

"What else can I do, sleep on the Internet, go out and play ball!" Luo Shan replied without thinking, then looked at me and then smiled sheepishly, "Of course, we still need to investigate the case."

"Cut, this is so boring." Zhang Xiaoqi curled her lips, then looked at Zhang Yao and said, "Zhang Yao, what about you?"

Zhang Yao smiled and said, "I have to go home this weekend."

"Go home?" I looked up at Zhang Yao and said, "You rested at home for a week before, did you still go back? It seems that you didn't go back often on weekends."

"Yeah." Zhang Yao nodded, then looked into the distance with some confusion in his eyes, sighed, and said as if pointing: "Since Huang Cong's accident happened, I feel the fragility of life more and more. Spend more time with your parents, who knows what will happen to me one day, let's cherish the present."

"I think so too!" Zhang Xiaoqi agreed from the side.

I sneered and said, "What happens for no reason? Accidents are rare events after all. As long as you walk right, you won't be shot in the pit."

"Tch, didn't you just..." Zhang Xiaoqi looked down on me, and just about to continue, I glared at her.

I looked at Zhang Yao, there was no expression on his face, but Luo Shan asked curiously, "Jiangnan, did you have an accident?"

"Yeah." I nodded and said, "I accidentally fell down while playing badminton with Zhang Xiaoqi."

"Oh." Luo Shan showed the original expression, then smiled, "This is not an accident."

"However, let's talk about Huang Cong's matter." I changed the subject, stared at Zhang Yao and continued: "Zhang Yao, you were the closest to him when you were alive. The night before his death, did you notice anything about his behavior? Something different from usual?"

Zhang Yao thought for a while and said, "That night he stayed in front of the computer for a long time, staring at the screen all the time."

"Should be thinking about his online dating partner?" Luo Shan said while rubbing his chin.

"Hey, he can be called a lover." Zhang Xiaoqi propped her face with her hands and said thoughtfully.

"Then did he leave the vicinity of the school two weeks before his death?" I continued to ask Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao looked at me, thought for a while and said, "No, there are a lot of classes during this period, we basically stay together, he just goes out with the ball occasionally, at most he goes out around the school to buy things."

"Indeed, Huang Cong didn't skip class in those two weeks, and he often called me when he was playing. I often saw him." Luo Shan agreed from the side.

"That's weird." I said with a sneer, "When we found Huang Cong, he was hung by a nylon rope about 3 meters long. This type of rope is tough and wear-resistant. It is usually used in construction projects or Mountaineering, used in firefighting, the price is relatively expensive, and only sold in specialized engineering stores, and the ropes sold in our school and surrounding stores are just ordinary thin ropes, so if Huang Cong committed suicide, he can only buy them from the outside. Bring the rope in, the last time Huang Cong was out of school was two weeks ago, but according to his father, he went home just to find something, and then hurried back to school."

"What's strange there?" Zhang Xiaoqi asked aloud, puzzled.Luo Shan also looked at me suspiciously.

"It's nothing strange." Zhang Yao put the water bottle in his hand on the lawn, and said, "Even if he is in a hurry, he should have time to buy a rope on the way."

"I said it was strange, but I didn't mean this." I shook my head and said, "We assume that Huang Cong committed suicide because of the failure of online dating. He bought suicide tools in a hurry two weeks before his death, which shows that he was premeditated, but He went home, but he didn't stay with his parents for a while. If you were planning to end your own life, would you bid farewell to your dearest parents in such a way? Moreover, you also asked his father for no reason. The whereabouts of the old newspapers."

"There is only one explanation. Huang Cong didn't want to commit suicide at all, and the nylon rope was also brought in by the murderer from outside."

Having said that, I looked at Zhang Yao meaningfully.

Luo Shan nodded and said, "Huang Cong probably wouldn't want to commit suicide. He and I often play together. No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like that kind of negative person."

Zhang Xiaoqi disagreed and said: "Perhaps Huang Cong thinks in his heart that he is going to die anyway, so he doesn't care about anything."

Zhang Yao said at this time: "Jiangnan, what you said before is all your own speculation. Maybe it makes sense, but there is still no substantive evidence. It is still hard for me to believe that Huang Cong was killed by him."

I looked at Zhang Yao, the corner of my mouth raised a small arc, I nodded and said, "Yes, I need evidence. I'm looking for it right now. Although it takes time and effort, I will find it one day. At that time, I think not only will it prove that Huang Cong was murdered, but the murderer will also be found."

"However, from a psychological point of view, no matter how strong a person is, when facing his imminent death, it is inevitable that his emotions, behaviors and language will be somewhat different from normal ones. Even rational suicide cannot Be complete. Here, what I'm curious about is, if Huang Cong committed suicide and you get along with him day and night, would it be true that you wouldn't even feel a single change in him?"
