Chapter 111 Murphy's Law (6)
Shen Yue found that he was not lying, and asked again: "How did you know that he was killed?"

Gao Xiaobao said: "Of course my wife told me. She asked if I did it. I said how could it be possible? Although I always hated that person in my heart, I wouldn't kill him. My children are already that old , now the family is relatively happy, how could I do such a stupid thing?"

My kids, not ours?Shen Yue suddenly smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I believe what you said. You are a magnanimous man. A person's life is so long, who hasn't passed it? Don't you think so?"

Gao Xiaobao stared blankly at Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin leaving, he couldn't believe this fact: Do they really believe me?

Kang Ruxin has been reminiscing about the question Shen Yue said to Gao Xiaobao just now: "A person's life is so long, who hasn't passed it?" Could it be that he said this to me?
Every corner of the provincial capital is filled with the breath of spring. The branches are full of greenery, and the scene of budding can be seen everywhere. From time to time, there are birds happily passing by the sky, and the white clouds in the sky are more refreshing than in winter. There are many, and the sweet smell in the air is even more refreshing.

Song Weiwei in the photo looks very beautiful, belonging to that kind of dignified beauty, especially her eyes, which are also very clear from the photo.Shen Yue couldn't imagine what kind of person would take her life in such a way - the slender, sharp weapon pierced through her back in an instant, directly piercing her heart.She died at the moment of cardiac arrest.The murderer did not hesitate at all, and moved quickly and accurately.Is it really because of hatred?No, it's not psychologically logical.A real vendetta would choose to torture the other party, rather than let a person die without feeling the pain like this.Could it be that the murderer really chose his victims at random?This is also unlikely.Song Weiwei is a teacher, an engineer of the human soul, and is so beautiful, even if it is chosen randomly, the murderer will hesitate because of it.

The file in his hand has been carefully read several times, but Shen Yue feels more and more confused.There are doubts in these five cases, but the clues are not clear, and there is no way to prove the conjectures. To make progress, some new breakthroughs are needed.

"What are you thinking?" Kang Ruxin stood behind him and asked softly.

Shen Yue sighed and shook his head: "I really can't imagine what kind of person the murderer is. This person's psychological condition does not seem to be normal, but it is completely different from a psychopath. Cases like this are the most troublesome , I found it difficult to find useful clues even from the victim."

Kang Ruxin glanced at the case file in his hand and asked, "Did you find any missing clues from it? Why don't you just ask the people around the deceased? Didn't you always do this before?"

Shen Yue sighed: "The cases of Kan Stone and Lu Wenhua happened not long ago, and they are relatively simple... But you are right, let's visit the people around the deceased."

Song Weiwei, an English teacher in the third grade of a municipal middle school, was murdered outside a shopping mall last summer.At that time, she was not yet 26 years old, unmarried, and her boyfriend was far away in Shanghai.Song Weiwei graduated from a well-known domestic normal university majoring in foreign languages, which is why she was able to enter this middle school to teach.

The woman in her fifties, surnamed Liu, was the principal of Song Weiwei's school. She introduced Song Weiwei's basic situation to Shen Yue and Kang Ruxin.Shen Yue listened a little casually. The situation introduced by Principal Liu was exactly the same as the content in the file. It was nothing more than a bunch of compliments. Obviously, the police records at that time should also come from her.

It is rare for Shen Yue to patiently listen to other people's nonsense like this.His mother used to be a teacher, and women like to nag once they are over 50.After Principal Liu finished introducing the situation, Shen Yue smiled and started to ask questions: "Principal Liu, Song Weiwei must have shortcomings, right? I want to know some real facts about her."

Principal Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "If we talk about shortcomings, it's mainly arrogance and being too strict with students."

Shen Yue said: "Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

Principal Liu said with a smile: "This is actually what I heard other people say about her. She is young and beautiful. When she first came to our school, she had a lot of suitors, but she was very indifferent to those suitors. Later, everyone knew She already has a boyfriend, who was her classmate in college, and went to Shanghai after graduation. Of course, no one will chase her anymore. But not only that, she herself doesn't like to contact her colleagues very much, so she let him Everyone thinks she is very proud. She is an English teacher in the third grade of high school, and the students are about to face the college entrance examination, so it is normal to be strict with the students."

Shen Yue couldn't help frowning, what this Principal Liu said was still a compliment to the deceased.He thought for a while and said, "The teachers who teach the high school class all have their own teaching groups for their subjects. I want to talk to the head of the teaching group she was in at that time."

The leader of the English teaching team in the senior high school, surnamed Wang, is a sturdy middle-aged man who rushed over as soon as he received the principal's call.Shen Yue said to Principal Liu: "We want to talk to him alone, can I borrow your office for a while?"

After Principal Liu left, Shen Yue directly asked the teacher Wang in front of him: "What kind of person is Teacher Song Weiwei? We all know her strengths, and we want to know more about her personality and personal life."

Teacher Wang was stunned for a moment, and said, "This... To be honest, I really don't understand much."

Shen Yue looked at him and said, "You have worked with her for nearly three years, how could you not understand her?"

Teacher Wang said: "What I said is true. Most foreign language learners are lively and cheerful, but she is not very gregarious. Except when the teaching team is in meetings, she rarely speaks."

Shen Yue nodded and said: "It is said that she is very strict with the students, do you know how strict she is?"

Teacher Wang suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, she is not strict with students, but sometimes she is unreasonable. There are a few students in her class whose English scores are not very good, and she gives them a set of mock questions every day. , and asked them to finish it on the same day. Later, the English scores of those students improved, but the scores of other subjects dropped. In this way, the teacher who taught mathematics, physics and chemistry in the class had opinions, and the parents also had ideas. .”

Kang Ruxin suddenly became interested, and asked, "What happened next?"

Teacher Wang said with a smile: "But Song Weiwei said that the results of other subjects can be surprise, but English is not good. However, her opinion was proved to be correct. Although she is no longer here, those students were admitted to key universities."

Shen Yue asked in surprise, "Really?"

Teacher Wang nodded and said, "Yes. Those students had good grades in other subjects, but their English is poor."

Shen Yue suddenly understood, and asked, "Actually, what she did was not aimed at all students with poor English scores, is it so?"

Teacher Wang replied embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear just now."

Shen Yue asked again: "I also heard that many people have pursued her before, is that true?"

Teacher Wang said: "It's not surprising that she looks so beautiful."

Shen Yue nodded, and asked again: "Among those who pursued her, have you ever pestered her?"

Teacher Wang replied: "That's not true. In fact, Song Weiwei was very smart. At that time, there were indeed many people who pursued her. It didn't take long for her to call her boyfriend over from Shanghai. The two of them held hands in the campus and looked very affectionate. , and then those suitors retreated in spite of the difficulties."

Shen Yue smiled and said: "This method is really good. Her boyfriend must be very handsome, right?"

Teacher Wang nodded and smiled, "Of course. He is a big man with a height of 1.8 meters, and he is a talent."

Shen Yue asked again: "This is strange. Logically speaking, Song Weiwei and her boyfriend can be said to be a golden couple, but why don't the two of them work in the same place?"

Teacher Wang said: "I know about this. I was also very curious at the time, so I couldn't help asking her. She replied, 'We are still young, and there are many opportunities in Shanghai. Even if he fails, isn't there still a chance? me?'"

"She just answered your question?" Shen Yue asked, but without waiting for Teacher Wang's answer, he continued talking to himself, "Well. She had to answer, but in fact, she was under a lot of pressure inside, which also It shows that she is a very strong person. Letting her boyfriend fight, she has to choose a stable job as a backing...By the way, Teacher Wang, who do you personally think is most likely to have something to do with her death?"

Teacher Wang kept shaking her head and said, "I also find it strange. Not only me, but everyone in the school finds it incredible. In order not to misunderstand those suitors, she did not hesitate to call her boyfriend from Shanghai all the way. On weekdays, she rarely had contact with people, and her death is really unbelievable."

"I suddenly had a very bad premonition." After coming out of school, Shen Yue looked at the few flying birds in the sky and said gloomily.

Kang Ruxin looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Didn't you always disbelieve in some premonition?"

Shen Yue said: "Actually, it's not entirely a premonition. These few cases have not had any clues so far, and the crux of the problem is that this is a serial murder case. Who knows who the next victim will be? Who knows? When will the next similar case happen?"

Kang Ruxin's mood suddenly became heavy, and she asked, "Should I tell the Dragon Corps about the current situation?"

Shen Yue shook his head, and said: "In fact, he already knows the complexity of this case, and he should be able to predict what may happen next. I think he must have sent a group of people to investigate these cases. But what's the use of it? The most terrible thing in this world is a serial murder case like this, and many similar cases eventually become unsolved cases."

Kang Ruxin looked at him and asked softly, "Are you really not confident?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "No. I think, no matter what kind of person the murderer is, he always has his own motives, and I always believe that the murderer's motives will be reflected in some details of the deceased's life, but So far we haven't found it. No, maybe we already know it, but we haven't connected it to the murderer's motive."

Kang Ruxin took Shen Yue's arm, and said softly, "I know you can find the truth, you can."

Of course Shen Yue knew that she was encouraging him, but... he smiled wryly and said, "Let's go to the scene where Song Weiwei was killed."

That shopping mall is not far from the school, a separate building.Now there are no stalls outside the shopping mall. I don't know if it is because Song Weiwei was killed here.Such large-scale shopping malls usually set up stalls outside for promotional purposes. At that time, Song Weiwei was killed when he was rushing to buy discounted goods.There are photos of the scene of the crime in the case files. Song Weiwei was lying on top of the stall. Neither the salesperson nor the customers behind Song Weiwei knew when she was killed. It was not captured by the cameras outside the mall.

At this time, Shen Yue stood at the location of the stall at that time, and at the same time took out the photos of the scene in the file to look at, and then said to Kang Ruxin: "This is the place."

Kang Ruxin asked: "Should I call the salesperson who was there at the time?"

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "The police handling the case have already asked all the questions that should be asked. The scene was so chaotic at that time, there were so many people around the deceased, maybe there were also many people behind her, and the waiter was so busy, how could he pay attention? To that much?"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard Kuang Wuwei's voice: "Are you here too?"

Seeing that he was alone, Shen Yue immediately understood: this guy is a bit unwilling to be lonely, and he is going to try to participate in the investigation of this case.Shen Yue smiled and said, "You came just in time..." After speaking, he passed the photo in his hand to him, and said, "Look at it."

Kuang Wuwei took the photo over, looked at it, and said, "The murderer shot from behind the deceased. This stall sells women's sweaters. If the murderer was a man, his appearance should be more conspicuous. If someone can take his After describing his appearance, it would be great if Peng Zhuang could draw his appearance."

Shen Yue shook his head and said, "The police have done this job. At that time, those people were snapping up discounted sweaters, and the sweaters on the stalls were piled up in disorder, and everyone was rummaging inside. Who would notice if there were any men among them? From a psychological point of view From a scientific point of view, this is called selective attention.”
