Chapter 378 Cases
The murder of a freshman history teacher at Carmel University happened in the afternoon, when Mandy was playing chess with the runner-up in the international competition. The location was a wood near the artificial lake behind the North Teaching Building.

The green vegetation of Carmel University is very rich, full of fir trees, plane trees and maple trees, and the place where the incident happened is the area where the fir trees are clustered together.

The small town of Carmel is still very cold now, and the fir trees in this season have not yet been covered with green clothes, and the bright sky shines bare.The woods are full of fallen dry branches, which will make a very decompressive creaking sound when stepped on. Many students who love to make trouble often pick up branches in the woods and try to make a bonfire. Students are forbidden to stay in the woods.

At 2:20 that afternoon, the class bell rang at Carmel University, and the sophomores who had a history class at 2:20 that afternoon did not wait for their teachers.

At 2:30, the sophomore department asked the relevant faculty and staff on behalf of the students, and only then learned that the history teacher had voluntarily left the teacher's office 20 minutes ago, claiming that something had happened.

At 2:40, after questioning, witnesses who stayed in the fir forest half an hour ago claimed that they saw a history teacher in a black windbreaker enter the fir forest in that short time, which began to attract the attention of many people.

Anyone who is familiar with the forest knows that the fir forest is due to the fact that the branches have fallen all the year round. There are many hidden natural potholes and canals on the ground that are covered by fallen leaves and dead branches. There have been students in the forest before. There was an accident where the leg was scratched, and many people worried that the history teacher who had disappeared was also killed, so several faculty and staff volunteered to go to the woods to find someone.

At 2:50, three faculty members found the history teacher in the fir forest.

At 2:55, surrounded by students around the fir grove, the history teacher, whose belly was pierced by a tree branch and whose windbreaker was stained with blood, was carried out by three staff members, with his eyes closed and his lips pale, life and death unknown.

At 3:10, the ambulance arrived and sent the history teacher away.

"Some people said that this was a murder case, not an accident, and traces of a struggle were found on his body before sending the history teacher away."

In front of the fir grove, a boy's voice suddenly sounded behind Mandy. She was slightly startled and took half a step forward. Turning her head, she found a black-haired boy walking by her side at some point.

"It is said that judging from the wound, the branch was pierced from the front and went straight through the left abdomen, but there were no friction marks on the hands of the victim, which means that he did not fall before the injury. The only explanation is that he When arguing with someone, he was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp branch from the front. After realizing what he had done, the assailant panicked and ran away immediately without making further cuts. If he was determined to kill someone, he would In that case, it is very easy to make up the knife." The black-haired boy said, looking at the fir forest that was gradually getting deeper in the evening.

"You are. Ah. You are the one from this morning." Mandy squinted at the black-haired boy beside him in the dark sky, and recognized the other party's identity, "Chu Zihang? I remember your name seems to be that. "

"Chinese is not bad, did you learn it by yourself? Or did you go through systematic training before?" The transfer student boy named Chu Zihang turned to look at Mandy and asked, "If possible, can you introduce me to your foreign language training class? I think Learn English."

"Did our topic jump a bit too much?" Mandy blinked. One moment they were still restoring the incident near the suspected murder scene, and the next moment the topic became foreign language training.

"If you don't mind, I can discuss two things at the same time." Chu Zihang said, "Now that the police have filed a case, it is initially believed that this is a case of intentional injury. If the victim in the hospital does not survive, the incident will escalate If it becomes a case of manslaughter, the prisoner will definitely face prison.”

"You said that Mr. James has signs of fighting? How did you know?" Mandy asked casually. Now she only regards this boy as another one who came to strike up a conversation, but the way of striking up a conversation is very unique. Others They all approached by celebrating her chess victory, but this one followed her to restore the terrible case as soon as he came.

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I happened to be at the scene of the crime." Chu Zihang said, "Not many people know about it, and the school blocked the details of the incident, so the focus of the school this afternoon is still on you , rather than focusing on the case.”

"The man named Caesar was also at the scene of the crime? He told me about this, and you two are friends?" Mandy raised her eyebrows and said.

"It doesn't count, it's just acquaintance." Chu Zihang said, "Compared to this, don't you wonder who the person who made the attack is?"

"Curious." Mandy nodded, "But if I ask you, do you know who the murderer is? Will you use this as a threat to get me to date you?"

"No, you're thinking too much." Chu Zihang glanced at Mandy and then looked away, "I don't like you."

"." Mandy raised her eyebrows slightly. If she remembers correctly, this was the first time she was directly told the word 'dislike' by a boy, and the other's expression didn't seem to be playing hard to get. .

"Don't get me wrong, what I said about not liking is liking when men and women fall in love." Chu Zihang explained after noticing Mandy's subtle expression.

What a love between a man and a woman.
Mandy wanted to scratch her hair. Is there really a normal person among these transfer students?The first one is a scumbag with high self-esteem, and the second one is a homicide lover who doesn't understand the style?And why are they both talking to themselves?
"You are one of the few people who chose to stop at the scene after knowing the inside story of this incident." Chu Zihang looked at Mandy and said, "So I'm curious if you have a good relationship with the victim ?”

"No, he's my teacher, that's all. It's just that I suddenly found out that he was admitted to the hospital and his condition seems to be serious." Mandy shook her head and said, "He is a very good teacher. He is usually very serious but he is very responsible. Will you be able to hurt him?"

"I heard that he received a letter before he left the office." Chu Zihang said, "After receiving the letter, he chose to go to the cedar forest alone, and was killed."

"A letter?" Mandy frowned.

"I don't know the content, but many teachers in the office have the impression that the victim got up and left the office after receiving a letter. Many teachers thought he was just going to go to normal classes, but when they heard him He was dead when the news came out."

"The threatening letter? Or did you get the private information of Mr. James to blackmail? But the most important thing is the letter? The content in it may be the key to solving the case." Mandy couldn't help but say.

"No one has found that letter." Chu Zihang turned to look at Mandy, "Most people think that letter has been recovered by the murderer."

"Is this what you heard from hearsay?" Mandy couldn't help but say.

"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded honestly, "I heard about it from the fraternity group. They seem to have a wide range of sources of information, and they are probably the people in the school who know this matter the most. I have no doubts about this The matter is very interesting, so we are investigating. You are the victim's favorite student, so I think you should know more about him."

"There's nothing to say." Mandy shook her head, "To be honest, I felt a little unbelievable after hearing that he was killed. After all, I always thought that Mr. James's fighting skills were top-notch. Can subdue him, but he actually fell in a wood"

"Does the victim know fighting skills?" Chu Zihang lightly pressed his temples, squinting his eyes as if trying to mobilize his brain power, and felt a little headache, "Where did he learn it? Do you know?"

"Hey, listen, if you want to know about this information, go to the police. Maybe the police have found the suspect by now. This incident should be just an accident, not so convoluted and deliberate." Mandy Looking at Chu Zihang's appearance, he couldn't help but sighed and turned around to leave.

"I have a hunch that this kind of thing will not end." Chu Zihang put down his hands and looked at Mandy's back and said.

"Good hunch, Holmes." Mandy waved her hand without looking back, "If you have time to play detective games and flirt with girls, how about going to a fraternity party to test the waters? Many girls have gone, your transfer student friend You should go too, and you should go too."

She was a little tired of these inexplicable conversations, she just stopped by this fir tree on the way from school, and she was never interested in investigating the truth of the case or anything.

"Mandy Gonzalez!" Behind Mandy, Chu Zihang suddenly called out Mandy's full name.

"Is there anything else?" Mandy stopped and looked a little impatient.

"If you're not interested in such things, then what's the point of going to this academy?" Chu Zihang asked flatly, "Won the World Chess Championship? Or get a full-time scholarship?"

What kind of shit is this?
Mandy has completely lost track of the brain circuit of this transfer student. Doesn’t the other party understand the taboo of talking lightly?Why did you directly ask yourself about your life ideals as soon as you got in touch? And why did the other party think that you were interested in this unexpected case?

She didn't even look back, she just waved her hand and said, "It's none of my business, if you want to continue playing your detective game, just keep playing, I'm not interested, pass."

"You still remember." Chu Zihang immediately opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but the moment he opened his mouth, his expression was in a daze.

But in the next moment, a trace of tension suddenly appeared on his face, and his distracted eyes instantly woke up. He pressed his temples and turned his head to look around as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but only saw the dead fir tree The woods and several student couples passing by in the distance.

He frowned silently, and when he looked forward again, Mandy had already gone far away, and the street lights of Carmel University were also turned on, and the moons in the gutter continued to the end of the road and converged into a point, also It can't illuminate the figure who travels alone.
