No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 11 Dig Deep
"Comrade policeman, do you mind if I stay here?" Teacher Qian asked. "It doesn't matter. If you are busy, you can go and do your own thing. If you want to listen to it, you can sit here." An Youlin replied.Ever since Zhuo Qingshan listened to An Youlin's words in the corridor just now, she has paid close attention to every word he said, and even couldn't help thinking that there was a special meaning in what he said.Hearing what An Youlin said, Mr. Qian hesitated and said, "Well, I won't disturb your work." He turned to the three boys and said, "You guys, you should cooperate with the work of the police comrades, what should I say? You must make it clear, understand?"

The three of them didn't know how to respond. They just nodded slightly, not knowing exactly what Teacher Qian meant, and they didn't know what to say and what not to say.

Zhuo Qingshan felt very helpless at Teacher Qian's meaningful words. She could tell that Teacher Qian didn't want the three boys to bring up any negative news about the school.She glanced at An Youlin, but she couldn't see that he was worried at all. She didn't know whether An Youlin was unaware of the potential difficulties, or whether he had a plan in mind.

The door of the reception room was closed, An Youlin was not in a hurry to ask questions, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea slowly, and took another sip after testing the temperature of the water.This scene seemed familiar, and it reminded Zhuo Qingshan that when Guo Keji was interrogated not long ago, An Youlin was so calm.The three boys did not expect to encounter such a situation, and timidly picked up their tea cups and took a sip.

Because Sun Haiyi drank too anxiously, he choked a few mouthfuls, and Feng Xiaojie beside him quickly patted him on the back. "Let's first talk about the last time you saw Zhao Chen." An Youlin raised the topic.Sun Haiyi repeated what he said in the dormitory just now, he said that he met Zhao Chen in the dormitory, Zhao Chen tidied up the dormitory and then went downstairs to play basketball.Then there was Feng Xiaojie, who said that it was a basketball game organized by him that day, a 3v3 basketball game.

"It's not a competition, it's actually just for fun." "Yes, it's the competition that makes everyone play better." Li Xian helped explain. "Is there anything unusual about Zhao Chen that day?" An Youlin kept holding the teacup. "No, he packed his things and went to the basketball court." Sun Haiyi recalled. "The game went pretty well. I didn't see anything unusual about Zhao Chen. He performed pretty well that day and scored a few good goals." Li Xian said. "The abnormal situation doesn't just mean that he is in a bad mood or in a bad state, but also that he is a little different from the past. For example, how does his usual performance on the court compare with that day?" An Youlin drank again After taking a sip of tea, he didn't look at any of the three people.He just lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the teacup in his hand. "Usual performance? It's not much different. Zhao Chen is usually in good shape." Li Xian said.

"Can you two briefly talk to me about Zhao Chen?" An Youlin looked at Li Xian first, then at Feng Xiaojie.When the two found that An Youlin didn't ask Sun Haiyi what he meant, they looked at Sun Haiyi at the same time, as if they were asking him for something.

"I heard that Zhao Chen's family is rich, how is he like? Will he become grudges with others because of his wealth?"

Li Xian's and Feng Xiaojie's answers were similar to what Sun Haiyi said before. They both said that although Zhao Chen was rich, he didn't deliberately show off, and he had no conflict of interest with others, so it was unlikely that he would have any grudges with others.

"How is the relationship between Zhao Chen and the two of you?" "Zhao Chen is very loyal, and he once helped me." Feng Xiaojie recalled with a warm smile, "My family's conditions are not good. Once I was sick and hospitalized. After Chen heard about it, he helped me pay for my hospitalization and medical expenses, and he didn't show off to others because he helped me..."

As he spoke, a tear fell from the corner of Feng Xiaojie's eye.Zhuo Qingshan did not expect Feng Xiaojie to cry, but it was normal when she thought about it carefully, after all, her friend Zhao Chen extended a helping hand when she was in trouble, but at this time Zhao Chen had already been killed.

Sun Haiyi turned his face slightly, glanced at Feng Xiaojie carefully, then bowed his head shyly and straightened his body.Zhuo Qingshan wanted to take out a paper towel from the tea table in front of her and hand it to Feng Xiaojie, but just as her hand touched the paper towel, An Youlin suddenly knocked over her teacup, and the little tea in it spilled out.An Youlin directly took the tissue from Zhuo Qingshan, "Thank you." After speaking, An Youlin wiped off the tea on the table.

"I'm sorry, I was too careless." An Youlin put the teacup away, and continued the question just now.

"Then what about the 3v3 basketball game that day? You were on a team of three?" An Youlin's words were confirmed by Li Xian. "Then who is the other party? Also your classmate?" "The three of us in the opposite room used to live in the same dormitory. When we were freshmen, we used to live in the same dormitory." Feng Xiaojie replied. "You used to live in a dormitory with more than four people?" An Youlin raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling the past, "For a multi-person dormitory, tsk tsk tsk, it reminds me of my college days, it's really worth remembering."

Zhuo Qingshan didn't understand why An Youlin suddenly changed the subject, but she still wanted to see what An Youlin was going to do next.

"Well, we lived in an eight-person dormitory when we were freshmen. After the school's expansion project was over, we moved to the current dormitory." Sun Haiyi replied.

"So are there any special requirements when dividing the dormitory? Is the school logistics department responsible for the allocation? Or is it voluntary by the students?"

Li Xian replied: "The school's logistics department is responsible for the distribution, but the students' opinions will also be taken into consideration."

"How to refer to it?" An Youlin was very interested in the allocation of dormitories, "Did the students report it themselves?"

"Actually, it's about the same." Feng Xiaojie had already recovered from the short-term sadness just now, "Because the re-divided dormitory is next door, there is not much difference, and we often come and go, but we don't live in the same room anymore."

"Then what about the students who were separated into another dormitory? What is the relationship between the four of them and Zhao Chen?"

"There is no contradiction." Sun Haiyi hesitated, he glanced at Feng Xiaojie and Li Xian, "Everyone has a very good relationship, Zhao Chen is very loyal to everyone..."

Zhuo Qingshan's phone rang, "I'll answer the phone first," she got up and walked to the door.Seeing this, An Youlin said to the three of them, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back." An Youlin followed out of the reception room to the corridor, Zhuo Qingshan was listening to the phone, and within a minute Hang up the phone.

"The autopsy found that the deceased was being cut...before he died, he was injected with anesthesia, sodium phenobarbital."

"Well, it's about the same as I estimated at the scene." An Youlin looked like he had nothing to do with himself, shaking his head and nodding, "What is the time of death?"

"Around eleven o'clock at night." This was not different from the time estimated by Han Ruowei at the scene.

"Your question just now was very strange. After asking so many questions over and over again, what clue did you find?" Zhuo Qingshan couldn't help but asked directly.

"It's not sure yet," An Youlin turned around and glanced at the door of the reception room, "but I believe the three inside are worth digging out."

An Youlin took out the cigarette in his shirt pocket and sniffed it, then put it back in his pocket: "Go, continue!"

Although An Youlin, who returned to the reception room, still had a very casual look, the eyes he looked at the three boys were like slender silver needles. Although they couldn't cause huge damage, they could accurately stir up the needles on the people. the most sensitive sore spots. "Can you tell me about Zhao Chen's relationship status?" Li Xian was the first to speak: "Zhao Chen's relationship? This... I really don't know much about it."

"Zhao Chen rented a house outside the school very early, and he didn't go back to the dormitory very often, and he didn't talk to me about whether he was in love or not." Sun Haiyi became even more shy when he mentioned relationship issues.

"I don't know." Feng Xiaojie said simply. "Okay, okay," An Youlin leaned back on the sofa, tilted his unshaven chin forward, and rubbed his thumb on it, "According to what you said, Zhao Chen is loyal and willing to help others. But he doesn't show off, even if he loses on the court, he won't complain. The game is super good. There is nothing emotionally that can reach the ears of his roommates. What a perfect man. But in this way, his death becomes The biggest confusion. Who would kill such a perfect man?"

"Maybe it's a pervert? I remember a murderous pervert was caught some time ago, and he liked to put his underwear on..." Li Xian was talking about the serial murder case committed by Guo Keji.

An Youlin laughed twice, leaned forward, and glanced at the three of them: "Didn't you see that we just received a call from the bureau?"

An Youlin didn't say much, the three boys sitting opposite were already panicked, they couldn't figure out what An Youlin was referring to, could it be implying that the murderer was the person next to Zhao Chen?
