Chapter 4 The Hanged

second day Ai Liang opened his eyes when it was dark.

Today is Friday, and he will have a holiday in the afternoon. He plans to get up early and go to the glasses to find some free books to pass the next two days. The last novel is almost finished.

If you really don't have a book, just take a look at the math formulas you usually write with your glasses.

Although Ai Liang made an appointment with Yang Xingyue to teach her at the bookstore, but also not teaching her word by word 24 hours a day, she still had a lot of spare time when she was doing paperwork.

After having the same breakfast in the old place, Ai Liang took the bus to the school.

Like yesterday, I bought a pancake at the school gate and came to the broken house with glasses. The house was unlocked. Ai Liang pushed the door and entered. .

Surprisingly, the glasses are not in the broken house today.

It stands to reason that this point is usually lying on the table, writing and drawing in front of the notebook.

I probably went out to scavenge waste yesterday and haven't come back, and this happens from time to time.

Ai Liang didn't care either, put the pancakes on the table, and went to the old book pile to look for old books that were not in print.

"Isn't there even today?" After some fiddling, Ai Liang was a little disappointed. The stack of books was filled with novels and magazines that were bought in the market, and most of Ai Liang had read them.

But he found a black leather notebook on the bottom.

The notes were bundled with a bundle of old magazines, seemingly destined to be sold as waste paper. Ai Liang did not untangle the knot and pulled the notebook out from the side.

The name of the glasses and the seal of Shangjing University are written on the note, which seems to be issued by the school.

This should be the notebook he used when he was still in college, because now he never leaves a name.

Opening the notes, the unrestrained handwriting comes into view, the strokes between the lines reveal the high-spirited and vigorous glasses at that time, and the first few pages are even trying to prove some unsolved mathematical conjectures.

Then scroll down to the proof formula for nearly half of the book. It can be seen that the glasses are sincerely proving those unsolved puzzles.

However, if you keep reading, the style of the entire notebook will change.

The formula becomes scribbled and irregular, horizontal and vertical, the writing becomes disordered and in a mess, sometimes there are two or three huge formulas on a page, sometimes it is a large pile of ants. The formulas are densely packed on one line.

It was probably at this time that he received the sad news of the death of his relatives.

Ai Liang closed the note and chose to take it away, not to mention the ghost picture talisman in the back, the conjecture in the first half of the book proved quite interesting, so it would be a pity to throw it away.

Anyway, the glasses told him that except for him, the things in the broken house can be taken away as long as they like it.

Leaving the shabby house, Ai Liang stepped onto the road leading to the teaching building. The campus was quiet and silent in the early morning. The grass beside the road was condensed with drops of dew, and someone in the flower bed had discarded it. Trash.

A gust of breeze blew the leaves and slowly drifted in the air. Ai Liang raised his head and watched the leaves fall slowly, but his eyes were attracted by a strange silhouette in the teaching building, that dark shadow. Quietly hangs at the door of the class next door.

Ai Liang's pupils shrank, and the stairs of the teaching building looked like a Bottomless Abyss at this moment, trying to devour the souls of those who came.

He climbed the stairs.

The crows on the trees in the front yard were abnormally noisy, and the sensor lights in the corridor did not turn on. I could only rely on the early morning light to look at the black shadow hanging in front of me and the overturned chair. .

Yesterday was an ordinary day except for confession. Like the day before yesterday, I thought it would be the same today.

"Ai Liang, you came so early today! !!!!" The screams of the girls in the same class broke the tranquility of the campus.

The breeze blew, and Gao Jiajia, who was hanging in the midair, slowly turned towards this side, revealing her savage face.

Half an hour later, the school teacher led the police to seal off this floor, but there were still students gathered at the stairwell and downstairs to look here.

"Someone hanged."

"No way, it was fine yesterday, why is someone hanged suddenly today?"

"I heard that I heard from a passing teacher that it was Gao Jiajia who died."

"Ah? Last night she went to Ai Liang and confessed to you that it was because she was rejected."

"Why? Possibly! Gao Jiajia will commit suicide because of this kind of thing? Stop being funny."

Yang Xingyue, Yue Qihua and the others were blocked from the cordon and could only watch Ai Liang and another girl anxiously. questioned by two police officers.

"wu wu . Jiajia Jiajia!" A middle-aged man was crying beside Gao Jiajia's body, and the class teacher next door was patting him on the shoulder to comfort him. This is Gao Jiajia's father, Gao Fu. business, a local real estate boss.

Gao Fuye's wife died of illness in his early years, leaving only Gao Jiajia as his daughter. He even regarded Gao Jiajia as his heart. Considering her mood, she didn't even marry a second time. For man, it is really commendable.

Considering the family's mood, the two police officers did not ask Gao Fuye about Gao Jiajia's situation last night, but instead asked about Ai Liang, the first witness.

"I heard from this classmate that you were the first to find the dead, right?" The policeman held a notebook to make a note.

"Yes."

"The deceased met you last night?"

Ai Liang glanced at the corpse covered with white cloth, nodded .

"According to the news, was it the last time you saw the deceased last night?"

"That's right."

"Can you tell me about yesterday? What did you guys talk about last night, is there any change in her demeanor and tone from usual?"

"I haven't met Gao Jiajia a few times, so I'm not familiar with her. I confessed and asked me to be her boyfriend, and didn't mention anything else."

"The conversation was between 8:50 and 9:00, and I walked out of school after that. Called a taxi to go home, which can be proved by the surveillance at the school gate and the surveillance near my house, but Gao Jiajia chose to return to the teaching building alone at that time, not knowing what to do.”

Ai Liang said in one breath. All the content, by the way, clear your suspicions.

"This is all I know. Other students also know very well that Gao Jiajia and I don't usually interact with each other."

This statement made the girls next to her cast strange eyes.

It was only yesterday that Gao Jiajia confessed to Ai Liang. Today, when she died, Ai Liang immediately separated the relationship.

I can't say that Ai Liang did something wrong, but the rhetoric was too formulaic without a trace of regret or sadness, which sounded a little heartless.

Hearing that Ai Liang had seen Gao Jiajia last night, Gao Fuye, who was lying on the ground, turned his head instantly and stared at Ai Liang with bloodshot red eyes: "Come on! What did you do yesterday!"

Gao Fuye, who didn't listen to everything, not only stared at him, but also swooped over to restrain Ai Liang, but was stopped by the police next to him.

"Sir! Calm down!"

"Calm down! How can you calm me down! She is my only daughter! My only family! How can you calm me down!"

"Sir! Calm down!"

"Calm down! p>

Gao Fuye was struggling like a mad cow, and the teacher next to him also came to help hold him. With the combined efforts of the three, he finally held down the irrational Gao Fuye.

After a few people put Gao Fuye into the empty classroom, the police officers appease Ai Liang: "Don't be nervous, the family of the deceased is just too sad and unreasonable. There is no malicious intent."

"Well, I know." Ai Liang looked through the window, looking at Gao Fuye who kept hitting his head against the table in the classroom, and Gao Jiajia lying on the ground, there was a glimmer of imperceptible envy in his eyes, but His eyes quickly returned to coldness.

The police officer looked at this handsome big boy and couldn't help but sigh that this child's psychological quality is really strong, and also added Ai Liang to the suspect list.

How can a student remain so calm after finding the hideous body in the school alone, and the girl next to her who has not dared to glance at the ground until now is a normal behavior.

At this time, Gao Jiajia's head teacher came out and said to the police officer, "It may be that Gao Jiajia's father is busy with socializing and has no time to accompany her. During this time, students are under a lot of pressure, so I can't think about it for a while."

The police did not agree or deny it, and everything had to wait for the autopsy report to come out.

"Gao Jiajia was murdered, not committed suicide."

Ai Liang's sudden voice attracted everyone's attention to him.

The head teacher Gao Jiajia frowned and was about to speak, but she couldn't help but slow down when she saw that it was Ai Liang who spoke.

For a person like him who has an unbelievable academic performance and can teach ordinary top students into key classes in experimental middle schools, most teachers will give a few thin noodles.

Don't make trouble and don't make trouble, but also help the teacher to cultivate top students, who doesn't love such good students?

This is also the most important reason for teachers to hear about the scandal between Ai Liang and Yang Xingyue, regardless of the most important reason, and some teachers even want Ai Liang to bring a few more people.

Teaching one is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching.

As for puppy love? It's all fart!

People are clearly trying to learn and make progress together.

"Why do you say that?" The police officer narrowed his eyes and stared at Ai Liang. He was saying that he was not familiar with the deceased, but he immediately refuted the idea of suicide.

The capricious attitude, the calm tone, the suspicion is not so big.

The police officer seems to have the scent of a big case.

Ai Liang walked to Gao Jiajia's body and squatted down, slowly opened the white cloth with two fingers, the girl next to her immediately turned her head away, and even the teacher wanted to stop Ai Liang's behavior.

The police officer raised his hand to stop the teacher. He had a law enforcement recorder hanging on his chest. If Ai Liang was the murderer and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy some evidence, it could be said to be the last resort.

After lifting the white cloth, Ai Liang got up and kept a half-meter distance from the corpse.

Then he pointed to Gao Jiajia's neck and said, "I observed the corpse before the corpse was put down, and at the same time I also knew a little medical knowledge. The bruises on the spot are indeed consistent with the inference of suicide by hanging."

"Well, continue."

The policeman was calm on the surface but began to panic, after graduating from the police academy He has mediated civil disputes for more than ten years, all of which are trivial matters such as square dancing disturbing the people, and family disputes between young couples.

Police officers rarely encounter cases of dead people. Occasionally, they will be transferred to forensic doctors for autopsy. This knowledge has been forgotten for a long time. Only criminal investigators will focus on learning these things.

"Since it is suitable for hanging suicide." Gao Jiajia's head teacher was interrupted by Ai Liang as soon as he spoke.

"The next step is the key. The strangulation marks left by being strangled to death and hanging suicide are completely different. The strangled person will have strangle marks on the back of the neck. It will only form a semi-circular streak on the chin and neck."

Ai Liang pointed to Gao Jiajia's neck, as he said, there is indeed a streak on the back of the neck.

“When I put down the body, I observed the surface of the door frame. The skipping rope on which Gao Jiajia was hanged was very worn out, and part of the wire was leaking out.

Even if it is suicide by hanging, people The survival instinct of Gao Jiajia will also prompt people to struggle, but there is no rope skipping wire on the door frame, and there are traces left by violent friction, so Gao Jiajia was strangled to death and hung at the door of the classroom.”

A simple The easy-to-understand analysis made everyone at the scene speechless.

Especially Gao Jiajia's head teacher, his eyes looked towards Ai Liang with a hint of fear.

A normal fourteen- or fifteen-year-old student would stare at a terrifying corpse with a face doesn't change? Can you analyze so much knowledge about the structure of the human body? I'm afraid it's not a potential psychopath.

In the past, Ai Liang's composure, his good habit of reading and not talking, all turned weird in his eyes. Most of the perverted murderers in the movie wore this kind of skin.

This is not the end, Ai Liang continues to analyze.

"Gao Jiajia's corpse has cloudy corneas, shrunken lips, and corpse spots on his legs have fused to form a large area of corpse spots. It is inferred that the corpse has also spread to the whole body according to the movement when he took it off, and the time of death can be inferred from this. At least more than six hours, and it is estimated to be between 9:00 and 10:00 yesterday."

"Of course, what I said are only external observations and some inferences, and internal examinations and histological examinations still need to be carried out. Dissection is the only way to judge."

After finishing speaking, Ai Liang looked towards the police officer, as if to verify whether he was right or not.

Look what I'm doing, the devil knows what you're talking about!

The policeman held his breath in his heart, but on the surface he still agreed with it. After all, what he said seemed to make sense.

After more than ten minutes, the body was finally sent away, and the police officer was sighed in relief, and he no longer had to worry about the student's question. It felt like the police academy exam.

"This classmate, please accompany us on a trip. After all, it is known that you are the last person to see the deceased, and you are the first to discover the body. It does not mean that you are the murderer, this is just a Process."

The police officer's words were polite, but with a hint of indulgence, after all, before the investigation was clear, Ai Liang's suspicion was not that big.

"Well, no problem."

Ai Liang didn't say anything like he was innocent, and stood quietly behind the police officer.

There is even Xianxin to ask the head teacher Gao Jiajia to help take a leave.

The more critical the situation, the more a person's actions can reflect a person's character. Ai Liang's strong psychological quality made him, a policeman, stunned.
