Card Room

Chapter 30 Chapter 11

The auntie cleaner quickly turned the whole trash bin and said to Xiao Lou, "Teacher, your ID is not here?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Trouble you, I'll go back and look carefully, maybe I didn't throw it."

The enthusiastic aunt said, "If you look for it again, I will also help you pay attention. If I find it in the trash can, I will send it to the school's lost property office."

Xiao Lou nodded. "Okay, thank you Auntie."

He winked at Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang understood and turned to leave with Xiao Lou with his shoes.

The aunt looked at their back questioningly, probably thinking-why did the teacher take the shoes out of the trash can?

It was class time, and there was no figure on the playground.

The two came to the corner of the playground, and Yu Hanjiang squatted down to examine the evidence carefully.

This is a very common pair of white canvas shoes, the same style that Ying Xiaoya wore when she died. The sole has crossed diagonal lines. When you step on the ground, it will form a special footprint. The edge of the shoe is a very obvious trademark.

Xiao Lou looked at the shoes thoughtfully. "I saw a lot of students wearing this brand of shoes in school, which should be a more popular brand. These shoes were very new, but they were thrown away. The murderer obviously wanted to destroy the evidence ... Yu Team, who do you think might be the owner of these shoes? "

Yu Hanjiang carefully checked the shoes inside and out, "If the killer happens to be 37 yards, it's not strange to buy a pair of these popular canvas shoes. She can keep the shoes without throwing them in the trash. The killer must dispose of these shoes for one reason-her feet are not the same size as Ying Xiaoya, and wearing these shoes is not suitable. Once found, it is easy to cause suspicion. "

Xiao Lou agreed to nod "that is, the murderer bought the same pair of shoes just to put it on temporarily, and forged the footprints on the rooftop. Ying Xiaoya committed suicide by jumping off the building. The murderer had long been concerned about Ying Xiaoya's shoes and planned to kill on the rooftop-it seems to have been a long-term plan. "

"Well, so she must dispose of the evidence." Yu Hanjiang frowned and observed the shoes, and then said, "I think women are more likely to commit crimes."

Xiao Lou looked at him in wonder, "Why not a man?"

Yu Hanjiang analyzed in detail, "This is a typical acquaintance. Ying Xiaoya went to the Xingzhi Building from the classroom of Class Three (3) through the air corridor, and climbed up from the dead corner to the seventh floor. This journey is not short. If she was taken away forcibly, there would be no silence during the whole process. Once she screams or resists, the class around her will be heard. "

Xiao Lou echoed, "But Ying Xiaoya was very quiet from beginning to end. The process of falling down was unknowing and unaware of the ghost. Obviously, she voluntarily followed the murderer to the rooftop."

Yu Hanjiang looked back at Xiao Lou and said, "If the killer is a male and wears incompatible 37-size women's shoes, it will definitely cause Ying Xiaoya's alertness and suspicion. Besides, the killer also has no time to put a pair of shoes on the rooftop to temporarily replace them. Once the other party leans over to change shoes, Ying Xiaoya will notice that something is wrong and run away or call for help. Therefore, the murderer should directly put on these shoes to find Ying Xiaoya. "

Men's feet are usually over 40 yards, and 37 yards of canvas shoes can't be worn at all. It is very strange to wear them on tiptoes or as slippers. If you come across all the way, say no. Cleared. Besides, if a man is wearing the same canvas shoes of size 37 to find Xiaoya Ying, she will surely notice that something is wrong and will not go to the rooftop with a fool.

Unless it's a woman.

The other person's feet are 35 yards and 36 yards, and they can easily put on 37 yards shoes. As long as there is a paper towel on the heel and then tighten the laces, the shoes will not fall off easily. Or it can be squeezed for 38 yards and barely put on 37 yards shoes, but your feet will be uncomfortable, but it can be ignored if you wear it for a short time.

The feet are slightly smaller and slightly larger, it is difficult to see that these shoes are not suitable. In addition, this kind of shoes is very common, many people in school are wearing, female teachers, female classmates wear this brand of shoes, Ying Xiaoya should not think too much.

Xiao Lou lowered her head and thought, "If the woman commits the crime ... Yi Ru, I remember her height is half as short as Ying Xiaoya, her feet should be about the same size, and she should wear the same shoes as Ying Xiaoya. It's easy to notice. "

He paused, and then analyzed, "And Yi Ru's confession was one-sided. At that time, she returned to the classroom with Ying Xiaoya. What happened is now unfounded. She said that she went to the canteen to buy potato chips, and the owner of the canteen has indeed seen She ... But if they go to the rooftop first, she pushes Ying Xiaoya downstairs, runs to buy potato chips, and then comes back to pretend to see Ying Xiaoya fall down? "

After hearing this, Yu Hanjiang looked up at the distant rooftop, and then looked at the store and Ying Xiaoya's where he fell. He quickly concluded that he shook his head and said, "It's not Yi Ru, time is too late."

After all, Xiao Lou is only a theoretical analysis. The actual time for committing the crime is Yu Hanjiang more experienced.

He followed the eyes of the Yu team. Xingzhi Building was seven stories high. Ying Xiaoya fell from the top of the building. The store was far from Xingzhi Building. If Yi Ru first pushed Ying Xiaoya downstairs, Then, I went to the canteen to buy potato chips, and went back downstairs to pretend to witness the misery of my girlfriend. This time is really very hasty.

Xiao Lou remembered the scene of yesterday's crime. When the police asked Yi Ru, she answered intermittently, but she didn't pant after strenuous exercise-her breathing was relatively stable.

There is no elevator in the school. It is very difficult for Yi Ru to run up the seventh floor, push her girlfriend downstairs, go down to the seventh floor to buy potato chips, run back downstairs and pretend to pass by, unless she has the speed of the Olympic long distance champion. And running for several kilometers without panting.

Xiao Lou overturned his analysis and said, "It seems that Yi Ru can also rule out that the crime time is really not enough. She bought potato chips, and the owner of the canteen could prove her absence."

Yu Hanjiang reminded, "Let's focus on female teachers."

The goal of carrying a pair of shoes into the teaching building was too big. Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and went to the store to get a paper bag to put the shoes in. Then he put the workbook that he used to draw the school map on the top, and it looked like a bag of homework. this.

The two returned to the teaching building.

The chemistry teacher in Grade 3 (3) was taken away by the police. The students in Grade 3 were very disturbed. Everyone was restless and didn't even think about class. However, because the second section happened to be a Chinese lesson, the class teacher came to the classroom to maintain order and arranged an essay question. The students did not dare to talk in a mess. The classroom was surprisingly quiet.

The three students, Yu Hui, Xie Xinghe and Yi Ru, had no obvious abnormalities.

Xie Xinghe lowered his head, looked earnestly, and moved his pen like flying, it seemed to open up his thoughts and write a whole page on the text. Yu Hui scratched her head frantically and didn't seem to know what to write. Yi Ru bit his pen with a bitter face, and obviously couldn't write it.

The composition of the teacher's composition is "Following", which is really a headache.

Yu Hanjiang observed for a while and found that there was no movement in the classroom. He said, "There should be no new clues in the classroom for the time being. Let's check it first. Did other teachers have classes at the time of the incident yesterday?"

High school teachers not only bring one class. Without the class teacher, most teachers have to take two classes, otherwise the workload is not enough and points will be deducted during the final assessment. Yesterday's accident happened in the fourth class. If a teacher in this class has a class in another class and is taking a class, the suspicion can be completely ruled out.

The schedules posted in the classroom only include subjects such as Chinese and chemistry, not the teacher's name. The teacher's own timetable only writes the class he teaches and the time of class.

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and said, "English, physics, chemistry, biology, the teachers of these four courses are all women, their heights are between one and six meters and one and seven meters, and they can wear shoes of size 37. Except for the chemistry teacher, the other three had classes in the fourth quarter yesterday. We can go to the office to see their schedule. "

Yu Hanjiangdao "The language office has to be visited, and there is a female teacher who needs our attention."

Xiao Lou froze and quickly reacted. "You mean, when the class teacher asked Ying Xiaoya to talk, the language teacher who broke in suddenly? She is also a woman, and maybe she has the possibility of committing a crime?"

Yu Hanjiang looked serious and whispered, "This teacher came too coincidentally. At that time, Ying Xiaoya should have explained the reason for her decline in grades. This reason was very important and probably caused her death directly. Unfortunately, she was planning to say When they came out, an outsider came in and interrupted her. "

Xiao Lou remembered the scene at that time and immediately agreed with "Yes, the timing of her coming in was really clever."

Ying Xiaoya just said, "My grades have declined during this period, because ..." At this moment, the young female teacher pushed in and Ying Xiaoya closed her mouth and said nothing.

This teacher is probably related to Ying Xiaoya's fall, she deliberately came in and interrupted.

But it is also possible that this is just a "character who promotes the plot" arranged by the back room-if she does not come in at that time, once Ying Xiaoya tells the truth, everything after that will not happen.

But it's not wrong to check it.

There are suspects, none of them can be spared.

Chapter 31 Chapter 12

In the morning, there were many people in the teacher's office, so it was not convenient to investigate. The two patiently waited for the opportunity.

Soon noon.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to the store again.

I ate two meals of instant noodles yesterday. Xiao Lou now has no appetite when seeing instant noodles. Yu Hanjiang took the bowl of instant noodles with a stern look.

The owner of the canteen all knew them, and said curiously, "Why do the two teachers keep eating instant noodles?"

Xiao Lou smiled bitterly. "We are all single, too far away from home, and don't want to go out to eat, just make up with instant noodles."

The boss kindly said, "You can also try self-heating hot pot, can you eat instant noodles every day?"

Xiao Lou said for a moment, "Is there such a thing?"

The boss took a bowl and introduced it with a smile and said, "Lazy hot pot, the bottom is a chemical that can generate heat. It will automatically boil after pouring water. The upper layer will cook hot pot noodles and vegetables and beef. It will be cooked in ten minutes . "

Xiao Lou usually seldom eats this kind of fast food. He doesn't know the existence of "lazy hot pot", but when the owner said so, he suddenly raised his interest and asked "how much?"

The owner "two 1000 gold coins."

Yu Hanjiang turned to look at Xiao Lou, looking forward with expectations.

Xiao Lou touched the 14 gold coins in his pocket and bit his teeth, "then buy two."

He really didn't want to eat the third instant noodle.

I do n’t know Chai Migui. They took 17 gold coins and spent 2 to 3 dollars a day. They could only stay in this secret room for 5 days.

It is now the second day. The secret of Maple Grove has not been solved, and the owner of the shoes has not been found. They must seize the time. Otherwise, if the case is dragged on, they will have to solve the case hungry.

Not to mention, they have no place to bathe, and they can only sleep in the hard corridors ...

I really want to feel more sad, still don't want to. At least better than the challenger who was thrown into the Nightmare Chamber.

Xiao Lou bought a hot pot, walked out of the store, and said to Yu Hanjiang with a smile, "I haven't eaten this kind of self-cooked hot pot, let's go back to the office building to eat it, pick up some hot water, and just use the excuse to go round the office."

The hot pot has instructions on it. The lower layer is filled with chemical materials. When the water boils, it is best to add cold water. Unpurified tap water can also be used. However, the upper layer is used for cooking. To eat it later, you must add cooked hot water or purified water.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, holding hot pot, came to the third floor, and they split up.

At noon, there are the fewest people in the office. Some offices are left empty and the doors are not locked.

Yu Hanjiang first went to the language office, and found the female teacher who came into the house that day to check her timetable. The female teacher was named Lin, and she was taking a Chinese class in Grades 4 and 5 of High School. The fourth quarter yesterday morning, She happened to be out of class.

When I went to the biology office, a female teacher was packing her workbook. Yu Hanjiang walked into the office, quickly glanced across the table, locked the desk of the teacher with class 3, and glanced at the schedule on the table.

The teacher who stayed in the office looked at him with a puzzled expression "are you?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "I am a high school teacher. Can I borrow some hot water? I'll cook a hot pot."

The other person smiled and said, "Yes, the water dispenser is over there, you can pick it up yourself!"

Yu Hanjiang thanked him, boiled the hot pot and turned calmly away.

Xiao Lou was in charge of the physics and English office. He also mixed in with the reason of "borrowing hot water". After cooking the hot pot, he also talked with the teacher who stayed in the office by the way, and then turned to go out.

The two held the hot pot and sat in the open space to exchange information while the hot pot was being cooked.

Xiao Loudao "Physics teacher, English teacher, there was no class in the fourth quarter yesterday."

Yu Hanjiang said, "The two I checked did not have class yesterday morning."

Xiao Loudao "That is to say, in the fourth class yesterday, at the time of the incident, all these female teachers were idle and all had ample time for committing the crime."

The English teacher scolded Ying Xiaoya in the first class and asked Ying Xiaoya to stand in the back row. The physics teacher also scolded Ying Xiaoya, saying that she did poorly in the comprehensive examination and that her physics was almost completely wrong.

The biology teacher had no class yesterday morning, did not show up directly, and there was no conflict with Ying Xiaoya. The Chinese teacher in the next class, who happened to enter the language office when the head teacher and Ying Xiaoya were chatting, interrupted the conversation between the two. It was also suspected.

All four had time to commit crimes, and all could wear 37-size shoes, all young teachers under the age of 30. Moreover, their teaching ability must be excellent, otherwise the school will not let them easily take the third grade.

Xiao Lou frowned, and said, "Are these four people related to the fall case five years ago?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "If someone can be directly linked to the fall case five years ago, she is most likely the murderer."

Xiao Loudao "When I checked the timetable just now, I found that the physics teacher in class 3 happened to be Si-her name is Si Qi. Will it be related to Si Han, a girl who fell down five years ago?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "The family name is really uncommon, but you can't judge by name alone."

Xiao Lou agreed with "Well, we have to find other evidence."

At this moment, hot steam was coming out of the hot pot, and it was estimated that the cooking time was almost the same. Yu Hanjiang said, "Let's eat first."

The two lifted the lids and took out disposable chopsticks to eat the simple hot pot.

The spicy hot pot stimulated the taste buds. Xiao Lou felt that his stomach had finally come alive. He lowered his head and seriously ate noodles. Yu Hanjiang glanced at him, and the expression in his eyes could not help being mild, and whispered, "Do you hate instant noodles?"

Xiao Lou nodded without hesitation. "I used to go home by train when I was in college. The smell of the braised beef instant noodles in the carriage was really impressive. I didn't want to eat it when I saw it."

Yu Hanjiang remembered yesterday's two meals of braised beef noodles ... It was really wronged by Professor Xiao.

He sighed softly and said, "Wait for more money in the future. Please eat a little better. I owe you a meal."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Okay, eat seafood at that time."

In this strange world, they don't know when they will be eliminated. Yu team invited to eat, it can be regarded as an agreement, if you can go out alive and earn more money, maybe the next secret room can eat a big meal?

Still don't hold too high expectations. It is good to be able to eat a full room of red peaches and buy home-made hot pot.

In case the spade's secret room is thrown into the wild and not eaten, it may be even worse!

After having a full stomach, the two got up and returned to the teaching building.

There were no new clues in the afternoon, and the police did not intend to return to school after taking away Teacher Qin. Obviously, the police interrogated Teacher Qin in more detail ... In this case, new clues may not appear until tomorrow.

After all, this is a c-class room. If the clues are too dense, the challenger's brain will explode.

On the first day, Ying Xiaoya fell down and the police came to investigate the case. The challenger needed to make a preliminary reasoning based on the police's interrogation.

The next day, the police came to take away the chemistry teacher and told the challenger that Ying Xiaoya was poisoned. The source of the poison was Yu Hui's chocolate. The amount of information was large enough, so more time should be left for the challenger to analyze and investigate.

Most of the challengers did not go to the chemical laboratory to check if they knew that Ying Xiaoya had been poisoned the next day, and found that the door lock was tampered with.

Due to professional reasons, Xiao Lou found out that Ying Xiaoya was poisoned on the first day. On the first night, the two sneaked into the Shuxiang Building for investigation. They learned the laboratory secrets in advance and directly ruled out the suspicion of the chemistry teacher. In addition, the two also reasoned that the "curse" legend was related to the fall case five years ago. By the way, they checked the school archives and knew that the deceased five years ago was Sihan.

The two took full advantage of their careers, and the investigation has been ahead of the police.

The next day, when the police came to the door, Yu Hanjiang had found the key evidence—shoes.

By analyzing and reasoning about the shoes, they identified four female suspects.

Senior English (3) class English, biology, and chemistry teachers, and the language teacher next door who happened to enter the office to interrupt the conversation.

All four have time to commit crimes, and they can all wear these 37-size shoes. As teachers of the class next door, they can find a foolproof excuse to take Ying Xiaoya to the rooftop and push Ying Xiaoya down .

They both had the opportunity to get Ying Xiaoya's workbook and copy the forged testament.

The lock-up of criminal suspects has greatly helped the progress of the case. What remains now is to find the association between the four women and the five-year-old fall case, and their association with Xie Xinghe's book, "Earl Monte Cristo".

Yu Hanjiang proposed, "Tonight, we will go to the office to check their drawers, and we will definitely find them."

The important clue is in the secret room of Hongtao 2, which is in the safe of the study. The secret room of Hongtao 3, the suspect's drawer should not be found.

Xiao Lou nervously looked at the Yu team "Do you want to pry the lock in?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "I will unlock and leave no trace. Just take a wire."

Thinking of this morning Yu Hanjiang directly opened the lock of Shuxianglou, Xiao Lou immediately relieved his heart and said, "OK."

However, the teachers' offices are in the Xingzhi Building, which is the security duty room and the school's monitoring center. It is not difficult to sneak into the office under the eyes of the security guard.

But security guards will patrol after dark.

And there was something wrong with Shu Xiang Lou last night. The security guard will definitely check it again tonight.

Yu Hanjiang thought of a wonderful way-after dark, he quickly walked into the Shuxiang Tower, threw a flashlight at the corner of the fifth floor of the Shuxiang Tower, and turned on the light.

The security soon noticed that there was light in the Shuxiang Building, and the two security guards on duty immediately ran over to check.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had enough time to sneak into Xingzhilou.

The two ran to the third floor at an extremely fast speed, first unlocking the door of the language office with wire.

The teacher who happened to break in and interrupted Ying Xiaoya's conversation with the class teacher, surnamed Lin, had a picture in her desk drawer, which was taken when she was in first grade. The picture read "High One ( 7) Take a group photo with all the teachers and students in the class. "

Yu Hanjiang sharply saw Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe in the photo.

Xiao Lou apparently noticed, pointing at the two people in the photo, and said softly, "It seems that before Xiaoyi Arts and Science was not assigned, the class leader Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xie were also classmates. This teacher happened to be their language teacher. . After the second year of high school, did I change to the current class teacher to teach Chinese? "

Yu Hanjiang nodded. "This teacher Lin has a lot of suspicions. She taught Ying Xiaoya's Chinese class. There must be Ying Xiaoya's writing in her hand. It is very easy to copy and forge a suicide note. Then she went into the office and interrupted Ying. When Xiaoya talked to the class teacher, Ying Xiaoya's face was very ugly, just like hell. "

If you think about it carefully, Ying Xiaoya was supposed to say the reason for the decline in performance. As soon as she came in, Ying Xiaoya's face turned pale, and she didn't say it immediately, and the class teacher didn't ask any more questions, so let her go back.

And at that time, the class teacher said, "This girl is in love, and her grades are down." The female teacher followed the class teacher to gossip a few words, "The current students are not good at bringing"-she obviously didn't know Ying Xiaoya's family situation. The "I'm sorry mom and dad" loophole appears and it makes sense.

Is it really a coincidence that she pushed into the office and interrupted the teacher's questioning?

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly searched Lin's desk—they found the text by Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe in the bottom drawer.

This discovery shocked Xiao Lou's spirit. "It is logical to say that Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe were the students she took two years ago. What did she do with the texts of these two people? Don't say it in memory."

Yu Hanjiang frowned. "The evidence points are obvious, look for it."

Apart from photos and writing, nothing else was found.

By the way, they searched the desk of the class teacher next door.

The head teacher's drawer is full of transcripts, home visit materials, lesson preparation materials, and Chinese exercise books for each test. It seems that the head teacher is really a responsible teacher.

The two left the language office and continued searching for creatures.

There was no obvious abnormality in the biology teacher's desk, a drawer of herbarium.

The physics teacher's surname is Si, which is exactly the same as Si Han, who fell five years ago. Xiao Lou originally wanted to focus on her desk, but to her disappointment, her drawer was full of various problem sets and physics test papers, as well as a lot of textbooks, but nothing was left .

The two finally searched the English office again.

There are some cute succulents on the desk of the English teacher, a thick English dictionary, and some folders. In the desk, one drawer is an English test paper and the other drawer is a review material.

The bottom drawer was locked, and Yu Hanjiang pried it open with wire.

The two found that there was only one thick book in the locked drawer.

This book looks a bit old, the pages are yellow, and it should be turned many times. The cover of the book reads-

letedeontecristo.

Author alexandreduas.

Yu Hanjiang didn't know this line of words, turned to look at Xiao Lou, but found that Xiao Lou's face was very pale.

Before waiting for Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou trembled, "Count Monte Cristo, original French book!"

Yu Hanjiang's face suddenly changed. "French books? By the way, she is an English teacher. Students of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute are required to learn a second language. Her small language may be French? So she can directly view the original language books?"

Earl Monte Cristo, describes the story of France in the 19th century. The author is the well-known French writer Dumas.

As Yu Yu speculates, people who learn English generally need to learn a second language. French is one of the most popular choices in the second language. Many English majors choose French.

Count Monte Cristo, as a world famous book, has long been translated into various languages. The Chinese version of the book is easy to buy. There are also different versions of several publishers for readers to choose from.

However, the original French book is not so easy to buy.

Usually people who like to read famous books look at translated versions. Who will pay a lot of money to buy the original books of novels?

Only if you really like this book, you will buy the original book and collect it.

Xiao Lou looked at the famous masterpiece that was turned over in his hands and felt that his scalp was about to explode.

In her drawer, there is actually an "Earl of Monte Cristo", a precious original in French, which shows that she loves this story.

The subject of this book is revenge ... is she the avenger? !!

In the first class at that time, the English teacher scolded Ying Xiaoya in front of her classmates, and asked Ying Xiaoya to stand in the back row. Ying Xiaoya was trembling all the way, she kept crying, and started crying after class. Yi Ru took her a paper towel.

One explanation is that Ying Xiaoya was smashed, and she was very wronged before crying.

Another explanation is ... she was very afraid of the English teacher, and she was scolded by the English teacher and she cried.

It may not be a coincidence that the English teacher asked her and Xie Xinghe to translate "my family has been cursed".

She was the first to say the word "curse."

At the same table, he took a paper towel to the back row to comfort Ying Xiaoya's words. At the same time, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang flashed in the minds of "Okay Xiaoya. Woman, it's not just you who are murdering you. Many people have been scolded by her, don't mind. "

Xiao Louzhen said, "Zhang Qing? We seem to have overlooked some key ..."

Yu Hanjiang nodded solemnly "Yes-the name of the English teacher is actually the earliest among all teachers."

The secret room had long told them that the English teacher was not a passerby.

Her name is Zhang Qing.
