Tiger Police

Chapter 310 Students
Hu Pingtao asked back: "Brother Zhang, you are a lawyer, what do you think?"

As he said that, he picked up the diary on the table: "Yao Xinqiu's diary is only written here, which is June [-]th. There will be no more after that."

Chen Miaoyun hurriedly explained from the side: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, I really didn't lie to you this time. Xinqiu's diary is here. I just took it out of her room. I really didn't delete it."

Hu Pingtao comforted: "I know, it's none of your business. But I'm curious, what happened after June [-]th? So much so that Xinqiu would feel scared and dare not record it in the diary. ?”

Chen Miaoyun thought for a while, and quickly said: "I remembered, the yelling in the middle of the night in the New Year almost started at that time. It's just that it was not as serious as it was later."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "So early?"

Chen Miaoyun nodded: "The night before New Year's Eve, I slept very peacefully. I remember that it was almost the days after the "Children's Day". She. Because my husband was not at home during this time, the bed was big and empty, so I took Xinqiu to sleep with me. Later, in July... Xinqiu’s situation became more and more serious, screaming in the middle of the night, waking up I've been crying ever since."

Zhang Wanhe suggested from the side: "Xiaohu, why don't you take advantage of Xinqiu's feeling for you now, and ask her out to have a good talk?"

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's easy to backfire. Yao Xinqiu must know something, but I don't think she has much to do with the case itself. Also, my current status is very embarrassing, and it's inconvenient to have too much information about the case. In-depth, it is also difficult to continue to investigate.”

Zhang Wanhe reacted quickly: "Miss can help you in this regard."

Hu Pingtao thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay! Brother Zhang, please tell Sister Guo. The main reason is that the situation has changed, and I can't stay in Hong Kong City for too long. I hope she can understand."

……

Guo Lingyu has great energy in Hong Kong City.

In the afternoon, the police department specially sent someone to contact Hu Pingtao.

An acquaintance—the senior inspector Lu Xiaoxu met at the scene of the car accident before.

The meeting place is in the meeting room of the office building of the Guo Group.

The receptionist led Lu Xiaoxu and an attendant into the room.He was a little surprised when he saw Hu Pingtao and Zhang Wanhe.

Taking off his sunglasses, he stretched out his right hand subconsciously. The expression on Lu Xiaoxu's young face was rather complicated: "Why are you?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and held his hand, then let go: "Why can't it be me?"

Guo Lingyu made a special explanation, the waiter brought refreshments and then turned and left, closing the door.

Lu Xiaoxu stared at Hu Pingtao, his eyes full of vigilance: "Are you from the Guo family?"

"No." Hu Pingtao explained: "I told you last time we met, I'm a policeman just like you."

Lu Xiaoxu's expression eased slightly, and his tone was still somewhat surprised: "Are you really a mainland policeman? I thought you said that as a joke last time."

Hu Pingtao waved his hands casually: "After [-], there will be no distinction between each other. We are all from the same country, but the systems on both sides are different...Okay, let's talk about this case!"

Lu Xiaoxu raised his eyebrows high, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Why, you also think there is something wrong with the car accident?"

Hu Pingtao nodded, not hiding his point of view: "I think it is largely artificial."

As he said that, he opened his leather bag, took out a copy of Yao Xinqiu's diary, put it on the table, but pressed it with his hands, and was not in a hurry to pass it to Lu Xiaoxu.

"This case is a bit special. We have learned some information and want to communicate with your police to find out the truth together."

Lu Xiaoxu frowned slightly, with a look of impatience on his face: "You are not qualified... I'm sorry, I mean, you can't do this. Both the mainland police and the Guo Group must obey the orders of our police. Here It is Hong Kong City, all your actions must follow the law, otherwise..."

Zhang Wanhe coughed a few times and interrupted him: "We are very clear about the rules. But the rules are dead, but people are alive. No matter how strict the rules are, there is always a time to talk about human feelings. What's more, we just want to make matters right now." Make it clear... If the joint investigation results in results, all the credit goes to you, and we don't want any of it."

The expression on Lu Xiaoxu's face remained the same, and he said seriously: "Investigating a case is just investigating a case, so there's not much to talk about. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to start appraising meritorious service and rewarding rewards before even writing off the eight characters!"

Zhang Wanhe was a little annoyed when he heard that, and his tone became tough: "Why don't you eat oil and salt!"

Lu Xiaoxu glanced at him, and said sarcastically: "Your energy is so powerful that you can put pressure on the chief of police. Although I don't know what your purpose is, I can tell you that as long as I am here, you will Don't try to mess things up. This is a premeditated murder. The five dead are all students...I must find the real culprit."

Hu Pingtao stared at him, and said seriously: "Actually, it was my idea to contact the police department through the Guo Group this time and transfer you here."

Lu Xiaoxu was shocked by these words.He stared at Hu Pingtao and asked, "Why?"

Hu Pingtao replied: "Brother Zhang and I met you at the scene of the car accident that day. I am also a policeman. No matter how complicated a case looks on the surface, it has to be unraveled, bit by bit, and carefully checked. Work. It's a grueling job that takes a lot of time and a lot of patience."

Speaking of this, Hu Pingtao pointed at Zhang Wanhe sideways: "Brother Zhang introduced you and said that you are a very good policeman, but you are a bit stubborn. Hehe, I still understand the rules of investigation. Few people will stay at the scene that has been surveyed for a long time. I asked you a few questions that day, and you answered them fluently, which shows that you are familiar with the details of the car accident scene and have done a lot of work."

After these words were pulled and flattered, most of the antipathy in Lu Xiaoxu's heart subsided immediately, and his feeling towards Hu Pingtao was much better than before.

Hu Pingtao looked at the police rank on his shoulder and smiled: "Your position is similar to mine."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaoxu suddenly became interested: "What rank are you in the Mainland?"

"First-level superintendent." Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "I am in charge of a police station. If you have the opportunity to come to the capital of Yunnan Province in the future, remember to call me and have a drink together."

Lu Xiaoxu smiled, and when it comes to this, the defensiveness in his heart has disappeared.So he raised his finger to the document suppressed by Hu Pingtao and asked, "What are you going to show me?"

Hu Pingtao's arm was still resting on the document: "This is a diary."

Lu Xiaoxu asked reflexively, "Whose diary?"

"Yao Xinqiu." Hu Pingtao looked into his eyes: "Do you know him?"

Lu Xiaoxu nodded calmly: "I know... After the car accident, I spent two days remembering the names of all the students in the school and the basic situation of everyone's family."

Zhang Wanhe felt very strange listening to him: "Why do you want to do this? Is it necessary?"

Lu Xiaoxu turned sideways, glanced at the door, then turned back, raised his head and scanned the four corners of the room, and made sure that there were no surveillance cameras or other devices, then returned to the normal position, and said seriously: "Last time I said However, this accident was very strange. There are two reasons: first, the driver's operation at the time was not a problem. Second, there was no problem with the vehicle's mechanical system."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "That's what you said at the scene of the car accident that day."

Lu Xiaoxu continued: "The reason for the car accident is nothing more than these two reasons besides the weather, geographical environment, road conditions and other factors. But as far as I know, these two reasons can be ruled out. So I can only start from Think about it in other ways and classify it as a homicide."

Hu Pingtao folded his arms tightly and leaned on the chair: "Do you think the murderer is hiding among the students?"

"There must be a motive for committing a crime." In this regard, Lu Xiaoxu and Hu Pingtao coincided: "A very ordinary car accident may involve many unknown secrets. Take this school as an example. A car accident will cause adverse effects, leading to a significant drop in next year's enrollment rate. This is a very common business competition. In addition, there is a great possibility of personal grievances. Take the school board of directors as an example, it is inevitable that someone will use the car accident as the cause The idea of ​​student casualties, and then to achieve some purpose of his own."

Hu Pingtao asked seriously: "Have you checked all these aspects?"

Lu Xiaoxu seemed to have drunk it. He picked up the cup and took a big sip of tea, and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand: "Yes. I also entrusted colleagues from other departments to sort out and analyze a lot of relevant information. Unfortunately... there has been no reward."

Zhang Wanhe nodded clearly: "So you changed the search object to a student?"

Lu Xiaoxu said bluntly: "Students are very likely to commit crimes. The school bus parks are fixed. Although the school does not allow students to move around the garage, there is always a secret. I checked the school garage, and there is no surveillance system nearby. Change In other words, even if someone tampered with the car, no one would know."

"The conflicts between students are far more complicated than imagined. Don't look at them as children. When they come up hard, let alone their parents, even I feel scared. Even two people who usually have a good relationship Personally, I often turn my face because of a sentence. Even friends at the same table are like this. The cause of the conflict is completely beyond your expectations——I didn’t help you with shopping, I didn’t borrow homework for you to copy, inadvertently In a word... even my pen is out of ink, I asked you to borrow it, but was rejected, such a small thing may develop into a reason for hatred."

Zhang Wanhe was deeply touched by this: "Young people these days are very temperamental...but it's too much to say that they tampered with the school bus just because of this?"

Lu Xiaoxu sneered: "You think things too simply. Students' thinking is different from ours. Because of lack of contact with society, they seldom think about problems in all directions. Take the car accident as an example, what we thought of Passengers were injured or killed by vehicle collisions or rollovers. But what about them? All they thought was that the vehicle had to be stopped for repairs due to breakdowns, causing the passengers to stay in place and be delayed for hours or a whole day. sky."

Hu Pingtao understood the meaning of Lu Xiaoxu's words: "That is to say, the students think that this will not hurt anyone, and it is just a prank?"

Lu Xiaoxu was a little emotional: "They thought it was just a prank, but in fact it was a matter of life and death. This will kill people... No, someone has already died. They are all their classmates, and they may even be friends."

Hu Pingtao asked sharply: "Are you sure the murderer is a student?"

Lu Xiaoxu replied: "The probability is so."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I can show you this diary. But you have to promise me that you will temporarily give up your previous thoughts and don't look at it with fixed ideas."

Lu Xiaoxu frowned and asked, "You seem to have discovered and known something?"

Hu Pingtao said frankly: "I just want to deal with the problem fairly and justly."

After a pause, he said sincerely: "We want to cooperate. You can have your own opinions. I have no objection, and I will not force you to give up the existing fixed thinking. But whether I or you, you must learn from multiple Think about it from a different angle.”

Lu Xiaoxu stared at him for a long time, and after half a minute, a good smile appeared on his face.

"You're an interesting man. All right! I'll take your word for it."

……

He read it carefully, turning every page very slowly.Sometimes I will turn it upside down and compare the parts I have already seen, and connect up and down with the records at the back of the diary.

More than two hours passed.

The waiter came to refill the tea.

Zhang Wanhe answered a few calls... Later, he was really impatient to wait, so he simply stood up, went to the side sofa and lay down, curled up, and soon snored.

On the surface, he was sleeping, but in fact he was half asleep and half awake.When Lu Xiaoxu closed the diary, Zhang Wanhe also opened his sleepy eyes, yawned and sat up.

Hu Pingtao drank several cups of strong tea in a row, and it was the time when his mind was clear.He smiled and asked, "Have you finished reading?"

Lu Xiaoxu nodded, handed the diary back to him, and said doubtfully, "It feels a little strange!"

Hu Pingtao took it with his hand and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Lu Xiaoxu said: "I know Yao Xinqiu. She is in fourth grade this year, and she happens to be in the class next door to the one where the car accident happened. At that time, my main research direction was in this grade, especially the relationship between students... I know Yao Xinqiu and Zhang Yacui. They are very good friends, but I didn’t expect such a story between them.”

Hu Pingtao laughed and said, "Judging from the diary, Yao Xinqiu has sufficient motives for committing the crime."

Lu Xiaoxu shook his head slowly: "She didn't do it."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered.

"Yao Xinqiu did have a motive for committing the crime, but she has no ability to commit the crime." Lu Xiaoxu emphasized again: "Last time I said that there is no problem with the mechanical system of that school bus."
