wild 1995

Chapter 1 Who is the Murderer
January 1995, 1, New Year's Day, at midnight.

Yuncheng University, Building 21, Faculty and Staff Dormitory Area.

"vomit……"

Standing in front of the dirty squatting urinal, Di Ye supported his knee with his left hand, put his right index finger into his mouth, and forced himself to vomit. After vomiting out all the filth in his stomach mixed with the smell of alcohol, he walked to the outside laundry sink, turned on a faucet, bent over and rinsed his mouth with water in both hands to wash his face.

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

It was winter, the night temperature was close to zero, and the piercing tap water made Di Ye wake up a lot. He wiped his face with the sleeve of his slippery down jacket indiscriminately, walked out of the public toilet in Tongzilou, and walked through the narrow corridor piled with various daily necessities under the dim light to Room 303 on the right side of the stairs.

Room 303 is about ten square meters, and the layout inside is very simple. There are only four pieces of furniture and one electrical appliance, which are wardrobe, chair, desk, single bed and heater. In addition, there is a promotional poster of the Hollywood blockbuster "The Fugitive" released in the Mainland in 1994 on the wall beside the bed.

"Ha! Putting a poster with such an unlucky name on the head of the bed, you are begging for a hammer. Although you are not exiled, you are exiled in time and space."

Di Ye glanced at the movie poster, said something inexplicable, then closed the door, walked to the desk, picked up the electronic watch on it, and pressed the button on the upper right corner.

This electronic watch is a classic Casio 5600. The button on the upper right corner was supposed to display the backlight, but when Di Ye pressed it, the backlight did not turn on, but emitted a faint blue light beam, which turned into a translucent light curtain. A man wearing glasses appeared in the light curtain and asked, "How are you awake?"

Di Ye lay down on the single bed, rubbed his forehead and complained: "Wake up! You're dizzy and feel very uncomfortable. Did you drink a fake bar?"

The man with glasses was a little embarrassed, and explained: "I've never drank liquor before, this is the first time tonight, so..."

Di Ye waved his hand, interrupted his explanation, and urged: "Don't talk about those useless things. It's 10:43, and the murder will happen in 17 minutes. Tell me what I should do next."

"Don't worry, the police determined that Xia Fangfei died between 11:12 and 11:[-], not necessarily at exactly [-]:[-]..."

"Can you please stop talking nonsense! If you go late, and you are wronged and shot like you, I will pass through in vain."

The man with glasses was very self-restraining, and he didn't get angry when he was interrupted continuously. He said unhurriedly: "The murder happened in a small forest to the west of the library, where the streetlights are broken. There is a flashlight in the drawer on the right side of my desk, and a badminton racket in the closet. You take these two things over there. If you encounter Xia Fangfei, let her run away quickly. If you encounter the murderer, use the badminton racket to defend yourself."

Di Ye stood up, took out two badminton rackets from the closet in the corner, and swung them vigorously a few times. It felt too light to be used as a self-defense weapon, and asked, "Do you have something longer and heavier?"

"Let me think about it... the old man who lives in Room 306 has a cane with a dragon's head and put it next to the shoe cabinet at the door at night. Go and see if it fits."

Di Ye went out to look around, and found a dragon-head crutch at the door of Room 306. It was long and hard, and it was very convenient. He carried it back to the room and asked the man in glasses in the light curtain, "Is there anything else? If you have something, tell me quickly. If not, I'll go there now."

The man with glasses hesitated for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, I'd better call someone to go with you. Not only can I help, but I can also be a witness."

"If you ask others to go with you, there will be too much noise. The murderer will definitely not commit the crime. It will be difficult to get the stolen goods and convict him."

"Saving people is the most important thing. The murderer only needs to know who it is, and he will be dealt with later."

"Alright, who do you want to come with me?"

"A few of my close friends live in the student dormitory. It's too late to go and shout. In this building, I only chatted with Mr. Feng in room 105 twice, but I don't have much friendship. It's so late now, I don't know if he would like to accompany you."

Di Ye felt that the man with glasses was looking forward and backward, and he was a mother-in-law, so he said disdainfully: "If you don't have friendship, you can just give me money. You have money, right?"

"Yes, the wallet is in the inner pocket of the down jacket, and there are more than 180 yuan in it."

"That's enough. What's the name of this Feng?"

"I don't know, I heard someone call him Mr. Feng, it seems to be the counselor of the School of Mechanical Engineering."

Di Ye had no choice but to take out the flashlight from the desk drawer, tried the switch, and found that it was functioning normally, so he stuffed it into his pocket and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Don't be impulsive. Remember that the first task is to save Xia Fangfei, and the second is to find out who the murderer who framed me is."

"Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you."

"Good luck then."

The man in glasses disappeared after saying his blessing, and the light curtain turned into a beam of light again and returned to the electronic watch.

This kind of scene that can only be seen in science fiction movies is very magical, but due to time constraints, Di Ye had no time to study it. He put the electronic watch on his left wrist, picked up the faucet crutch, and endured the headache and dizziness caused by alcohol.

"Who?"

"I, Di Ye from 303."

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you looking for me?"

"I was having dinner with some friends at night. I drank too much. I lost the BB player on the way back. You accompany me to look for it. Whether you find it or not, I will give you 100 yuan."

"Wait for me to get dressed. You are too careless, you can lose such a valuable thing as a BB machine."

There was a rustling sound in the room, and ten seconds later, a short man wrapped in a military overcoat opened the door and asked, "Do you still remember which way you came back from?"

"Remember, I came in through the north gate, peed in the woods west of the library, and then came back from the path behind the School of Materials."

"It must have fallen in the woods, so hurry up and have a look, or someone might pick it up tomorrow morning."

"I think so too."

Teacher Feng went back to the room and took an old-fashioned flashlight, then closed the door, walked to the library in the northwest direction with Di Ye, and asked, "What are you doing with a crutch?"

"I drank too much alcohol and became very dizzy. I was afraid that I would fall while walking."

Di Ye made an excuse casually, and changed the subject: "Teacher Feng, what's your name? I'll write it down and write it down in the address book for easy contact."

"My name is Feng Shijie, the world's world, the outstanding Jie. What are your two words?"

"Di Renjie's Di, Tao Ye...uh, wild wild."

"Which college are you a counselor?"

"I'm not a counselor, I'm a senior student in the Department of Computer Science. I rented 303 for postgraduate entrance examination and reading. The dormitory is too noisy."

The campus of Yuncheng University is unconventional, with the teaching area to the north and the residential area to the south. The library is located on the central axis, and it is only 21 meters away from No. 600 faculty dormitory building. The two walked there after chatting for a few minutes.

There is a small forest to the west of the library, which is in the shape of an irregular quadrilateral. There is a gravel road running north-south inside, but there is only one street lamp, and it is broken. It is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is no moon. The forest is dark and steep, and the vision is very poor.

Feng Shijie looked around with a flashlight, and asked, "Where exactly did you pee?"

Di Ye looked at the electronic watch and found that it was only 10:54, so he stalled for time and said, "I can't remember, now I can only search the whole forest."

"Are you sure the BB machine fell in the woods and not in the restaurant?"

"When I came out of the hotel at 8 o'clock, I used the BB phone to call someone back, so it must have been lost in this forest. Teacher Feng, you look for it on the left side of the gravel road, and I will look for it on the right side. If you find it, please call."

"It can only be this way."

Feng Shijie didn't doubt that he was there, so he went to the forest on the left. Di Ye walked north along the stone road for a few meters, and found a magnolia tree on the right.

Time soon came to 11:1995 p.m., all the lights in the student dormitories were turned off, the campus was quiet and still, and the woods looked extraordinarily gloomy. However, Di Ye not only didn’t feel scared, but instead felt the excitement of praying mantises catching cicadas and the oriole behind him.

After about three or four minutes, a figure appeared on the gravel road, sneaking towards the magnolia tree. Since he didn't have a lighting tool, Di Ye could only vaguely see the figure's outline, but couldn't see the facial features clearly. So he put his finger on the switch of the flashlight, ready to make a surprise attack when he got close.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. At this moment, Feng Shijie shouted from a distance across the gravel road: "Di Ye, did you find it there?"

The figure was like a frightened bird. When he heard the shout, he turned around and ran. Di Ye hurriedly switched on the flashlight, jumped out from behind the rockery, and took a picture of the figure. Because of the twists and turns of the gravel road, the figure ran fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He was wearing black clothes and carrying a black messenger bag in a hurry.

"Depend on!"

After chasing for more than ten meters, Di Ye found that he was in a state of drunkenness, dizzy, guilty, and short of breath. He couldn't run at all, and it was impossible to catch up. He had to stop and shouted at the top of his voice, "Teacher Feng, I haven't found it yet."

After shouting, Di Ye walked quickly along the gravel road to the outside of the woods, stood on the main road north of the library and waited for a few minutes, and saw a girl wearing a wool cap and a red down jacket riding a bicycle from the east intersection, and hurriedly asked loudly: "Xia Fangfei, is that you?"

"it's me."
