[Chapter 34, Bloody Maple Leaf 15-The Truth Comes Out]

Due to the discovery of a large number of human bones in Maple Grove, the police quickly sealed off Maple Grove High School, and no students or teachers were allowed to go out.

The excavated human bones were brought back by the forensic doctor for genetic testing and craniofacial reconstruction, and their identities were quickly confirmed - it was the three people who had disappeared in recent years.

This case attracted the attention of the Criminal Police Brigade. Not long after, another police car drove into the campus, and the police team sent four people to support them. A total of eight policemen began to conduct a carpet-like search of the school's archives and teachers' offices.

They quickly found the original French edition of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in Zhang Qing's drawer, and the workbook and photos in Lin Yueran's drawer.

Yu Hanjiang avoided the police force's sight, sneaked into the office building, and threw the shoes he picked up yesterday into the trash can in the corridor.

Seeing him do this, Xiao Lou couldn't help but wonder: "Can we interfere with the police's investigation progress?"

According to the original plot, if Yu Hanjiang didn't search the trash can yesterday and the entire contents of the trash can were taken away by the garbage truck, then the pair of shoes with forged footprints on the rooftop would be disposed of, and the police investigation would lack evidence and solve the case. Time must be delayed.

However, Yu Hanjiang found the key physical evidence and put it under the eyes of the police. Once the police found the shoes, it was equivalent to Yu Hanjiang rewriting the plot of the secret room.

Yu Hanjiang speculated: "Since there are police in this secret room, they can help the challenger gather clues, and the challenger should also be able to assist the police in solving the case."

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "It makes sense. After all, this is only a secret room with C-level difficulty. Without the help of the police, many challengers would not be able to find any clues at all."

Yu Hanjiang said: "A challenger with insufficient reasoning ability may be able to pass the customs by following behind the police."

The police will eventually catch the murderer and follow the police. It should not be difficult to pass the customs alone. It's just that the conditions for the [Perfect Clearance] of this secret room have not yet been determined. Neither Yu Hanjiang nor Xiao Lou knew, did they miss important clues?

Xiao Lou looked in the direction of the office and thoughtfully: "The police have sent reinforcements, and the entire school has been blocked. With so many teachers and students, it's impossible not to let them go home at night, right? Will the police be arrested this afternoon? Hurry up and arraign the suspects?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "It should be. The case of Sihan's fall from a building happened five years ago, and the current students were all in junior high school at that time, so the probability of participating in the case of Sihan was extremely low. It was Xie Xinghe and Xie Xinghe that the police wanted to bring to the office to focus on inquiring. Zhang Qing and Lin Yueran are the three suspects, as well as school leaders and faculty members who knew the three missing persons."

No wonder the police team sent four reinforcements, the workload this afternoon is huge, and the police will be overwhelmed.

Xiao Lou frowned and said, "We have run out of invisibility cloaks, how do we eavesdrop on the interrogation later?"

Invisibility Cloak This card can only be used once a day.

Yu Hanjiang went to the principal's office with the police wearing a cloak in the morning, and Xiao Lou went to Maple Grove to examine the bones with the forensic doctor wearing a cloak. Both of their cloaks were no longer usable. In the afternoon, the most crucial part of the suspect's arraignment... What should we do?

At this moment, a prompt popped up in the floating boxes of the two at the same time—

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have scored more than 800 points in the Secret Room of Hearts 3. You can choose one reward:

A. Reset the cooldown time of the limited room card, and change the limited room card to "unlimited" state. After the customs clearance, you can bring out the three secret room of Hearts;

B. Immediately get 500,000 gold coins.

When Xiao Lou saw these two options, he was very confused: "I want to have all of them."

Yu Hanjiang: "..." He thought so too.

Of course, what the two of them urgently need is option A. However, the 500,000 gold coins of option B are also very attractive, especially for poor people who haven’t eaten well for two days in a row. An extra deposit of 1 million can make their life easier. It is extremely generous, and it will definitely help in the future plum blossom room.

It's just... the limited card is changed to a non-limited state, and the "invisibility cloak" card is taken out of the secret room, the reward is not bad. If you think about it in the long run, you can earn more gold coins, and cards are the most valuable thing in this world.

Xiao Lou gritted his teeth and said, "Choose A?"

Yu Hanjiang looked serious: "Well, let's clear this secret room first."

The two selected option A in the floating box at the same time.

The two "invisibility cloak" cards really became usable, and the "limited" description on the cards was removed. As long as they cleared the level, they could take the invisibility cloak out of the 3 Hearts secret room, and they could also be invisible every day in other secret rooms. 30 minutes.

Adding up the two cards is one hour of invisibility, which should be enough to listen to the afternoon trial.

Xiao Lou touched the gold coins in his pocket, feeling a little distressed for the 1 million he just missed.

Yu Hanjiang comforted him and said, "You can earn more money."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Well, let's not have lunch today. It seems that the police have to work overtime at noon."

At this time, it was time for exercises between classes. After the police who came to support them searched the office building, they went to visit each class.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang calmly followed them at a distance.

As Yu Hanjiang expected, most of the students didn't know Si Han or heard her name. After all, they were not at Fenglin High School five years ago. The three missing persons in recent years were also unfamiliar to the students.

After the police visited the students, they took advantage of the lunch break

During the time, the school leaders, as well as the security guards and teachers related to the case, were mainly investigated in the office, and the unrelated students went home together on vacation. Only Xie Xinghe was left behind.

Xie Xinghe's face was unnaturally pale, but his expression was still calm.

The police dispatched reinforcements today, and they opened two interrogation rooms in the afternoon, one to interrogate Ying Xiaoya's fall from a building, the other to interrogate Sihan's fall from a building and Fenglin's white bone case. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang each wore an invisibility cloak to follow Go up and listen-

The policeman asked, "Xie Xinghe, in the chemistry experiment class last Wednesday, did the chemistry teacher tell you about the dose, harm and first aid of organophosphorus poisoning?"

Xie Xinghe pushed his glasses: "Yes."

Policeman: "After class, you and the chemistry teacher sort out the instruments, medicines, and finally the door you locked?"

Xie Xinghe: "Yes."

The police finally got to the point: "After leaving the laboratory, did you turn back and pick the lock to take away half the bottle of organophosphorus poison?"

Xie Xinghe was silent for a moment, then suddenly said coldly, "That's right. Yu Hui's chocolate was also lost by me."

This guy actually admitted it directly? !

Yu Hanjiang was very surprised. He frowned and came to Xie Xinghe, carefully observing Xie Xinghe's expression.

The policeman asked sharply, "Why do you do this?"

Xie Xinghe said calmly: "I want to do an experiment to verify whether what the chemistry teacher said is correct. At that dose, at most one mouse will be poisoned, and people will be fine if they eat it. I only hurt people intentionally, not Attempted murder, right? You can arrest me."

The police stared at him in amazement, obviously not expecting a middle school student to be so bold!

Although Xie Xinghe tried his best to remain calm, his clenched fists and slightly trembling fingertips had already betrayed him.

Up to now, he still refuses to tell the real reason, there is only one explanation - killing Ying Xiaoya's person is very important to him. He wanted to save Ying Xiaoya, but he didn't want to kill the murderer. He was caught in a dilemma and was very conflicted inside.

The idea of ​​doing the experiment was something he had long thought of.

No matter how the police attacked him, Xie Xinghe insisted that he was doing the experiment out of curiosity, and asked him why he had the book Count of Monte Cristo and what was the connection with the English teacher's book? His explanation is: "Everyone reads the world famous books, it's probably a coincidence."

The policeman was so angry that he almost slapped the table, and finally he could only handcuff him and let his colleagues take the troublesome guy away first.

The next person to interrogate was Lin Yueran.

When the female teacher came in, she looked dazed, and she didn't know if she was acting too well or she was really innocent.

The policeman asked, "Mr. Lin, you taught Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe in your first year of high school. You have always kept a group photo of the teachers and students in your first year of high school. Why?"

Lin Yueran said: "This is the best class of students I have ever brought. Isn't it strange that I kept a group photo?"

Policeman: "Then why do you keep the composition texts of the two of them?"

Lin Yueran was full of confusion: "Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe are the two students with the best handwriting in my class. Xiaoya's handwriting is very correct, just like printed type; Xie Xinghe's handwriting is elegant and elegant. The writing text is left as a memorial."

Policeman: "Just that simple?"

Lin Yueran nodded and said, "By the way, I also collected the papers of several students who participated in the composition competition and kept them at home as a souvenir. If you don't believe me, police officer, you can go to my house to search."

The two police officers looked at each other and then asked, "On the day of the incident, the head teacher of Class 3 of Senior Three brought Ying Xiaoya to question him. Why did you go in and interrupt him?"

Lin Yueran said: "I just went back to the office, I didn't know they were talking."

Police officer: "Did you copy Ying Xiaoya's suicide note?"

Lin Yueran's face was a little ugly: "Officer, I don't know what you mean? I have Ying Xiaoya's composition text. I have taught her a lesson, so do I have to copy her handwriting and write a suicide note? This is ridiculous! I I have no grievances with her, according to your logic, should I also copy Xie Xinghe's handwriting and write a suicide note?"

Yu Hanjiang looked at her face carefully, her anger and nervousness didn't seem to be pretending, most of the suspects who were wronged showed this, and her words made sense - in her drawer, not only Ying Xiaoya 's composition text, and Xie Xinghe's. If she is judged to be the one who copied the suicide note based on the writing alone, what is her motive for murder?

The writing of these two students is really beautiful, and it makes sense for her to leave the composition as a memorial.

Perhaps the composition text she left behind was taken by someone else?

The police also thought of this and asked, "Have you shown the composition text you left to other teachers?"

Lin Yueran thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and said, "I remember! Last Wednesday, Teacher Zhang asked me to take Ying Xiaoya's composition text. She said she wanted to see how the student's Chinese composition was written. Why is the English composition so bad?"

The police quickly wrote down the key and said, "How is your relationship with Zhang Qing?"

Lin Yueran: "We read books in the same school in middle school. I am her senior sister and I often see her in various competitions. Our relationship is not particularly good, we can only say that we are ordinary friends? When you go to a unit, you must look after each other.”

Policeman: "What kind of person do you think she is?"

Lin Yueran said with emotion: "She is very strong, and she works very hard. When she was in middle school, her grades were always the first in the whole grade, and she often won awards in various competitions. To be honest, I admire her. At that time, she was admitted to a famous foreign school.

, has become a legend in our school. "

Lin Yueran paused, and suddenly widened her eyes: "Don't you doubt her?!"

The policeman didn't answer her question and frowned, "Do you know Zhang Qing's family situation?"

Lin Yueran was stunned for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know... She has always been alone. We eat together occasionally, and we talk about school matters. She never tells anyone who else is in her family."

The police let Lin Yueran go back, and finally arraigned Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing walked into the interrogation room with a very calm expression on her face. She was wearing a thin red sweater and pencil pants, which outlined a tall, thin figure. Her long black hair was hanging down her head, and her oval face was exquisite and beautiful, making her highly recognizable in the crowd. Very high.

The police asked her what was the meaning of the French version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" in her drawer. She said that she just liked to read this book and had studied French before buying the original book. Asked who was in her family, she said that both parents had died and that she was an orphan with no relatives.

Until the police took out the pair of shoes they picked up from the trash can.

The white canvas shoes, although stained with some dirt, looked very new, the same style as the shoes Ying Xiaoya wore on the day she fell from the building.

Zhang Qing's face suddenly turned pale!

Yu Hanjiang was wearing an invisibility cloak. Looking at her performance, he already had the answer in his heart.

The murderer is her.

She threw it into the trash can, and the shoes that would have been taken away by the garbage truck were retrieved by Yu Hanjiang and put into the trash can on this floor. The police found this key evidence during a carpet search just now.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou reasoned in advance and divided Ying Xiaoya's case, successfully found evidence, helped the police solve the case, and caught the murderer ahead of time.

Zhang Qing was brought back by the police for investigation.

Before she left, Yu Hanjiang approached her and carefully observed the necklace around her neck.

The necklace was strung with three pieces of bone that had been shaved into the shape of a wolf's teeth. If there was no accident - the bones of the three murderers she killed.

******

[Chapter 35, Scarlet Maple Leaf 16 - Revenge]

In the interrogation room next door, the police interrogated the school leaders and people who knew the three missing persons in turn.

The first 25-year-old young male, teacher at the school's psychological center.

According to the principal's recollection, he was assigned by the Education Bureau five years ago. The Education Bureau attached great importance to the psychological counseling of middle school students and required the school to offer regular psychology courses.

Sihan often came and went to his office for a period of time, so after Sihan fell from the building, the police focused on investigating him. What he said at the time was that Sihan's grades fluctuated and he was under great psychological pressure. Based on the records of each chat with Sihan, the police did not suspect it.

In the impression of colleagues and leaders, he is a gentle, handsome, humorous and talkative teacher. Many classes have a psychological counseling class every week, and he has taught the students a lot of knowledge about adjusting their mentality. The students are very fond of him. Love and trust.

It is a little strange that he suddenly submitted a resignation report two years ago, and the principal also persuaded him at the time, which he said was for personal reasons.

A male teacher who is close to him broke the news that he leaked a leak after being drunk, saying that he fell in love with a woman and was about to get married. Therefore, he decided to resign, take the psychiatrist qualification certificate, and go to the psychological counseling center in a private hospital. The psychiatrist in the hospital earns much more than the teacher.

Shortly after resigning, he disappeared and was reported by his family.

However, the "marriage partner" he said never showed up. During the police investigation, because the other party was "drinking", they couldn't take it seriously, and they could not find any evidence of his relationship with women. This was ignored. .

Now that the old story is being brought up again, Xiao Lou suddenly shudders when he hears this: Could his marriage partner be Zhang Qing? !

At that time, Zhang Qing had just come to school for a year. She was young, beautiful and talented. She was single and attracted to each other. For some reason...for example, Zhang Qing didn't want to make it public, so she had been in an underground relationship.

He wanted to resign, maybe it was also Zhang Qing's suggestion.

——I didn’t want to see him in a unit without looking up, so I advised him to leave, followed by finding an opportunity to kill him unconsciously, dismembering his body, and burying his bones in the maple forest.

The murderer was smart, calm, and cruel, quietly playing with the psychology teacher.

No wonder the teacher's cause of death was a skull fracture caused by a blunt strike. An adult male was directly knocked to death, which is very difficult. But what if it was from someone close to you? For example, his fiancée, whom he liked very much, suddenly picked up an axe in his sleep and smashed it down at his head...

Xiao Lou felt a chill down his spine when he thought of that scene.

The disappearance of the psychology teacher became an unsolved case back then. Now it is being investigated together with Sihan's fall from a building. The police also noticed that something was wrong. After the school leader left, he immediately said, "The focus is on his fiancée, there is definitely something wrong with this person!"

The second missing person, a security guard, who also came to the school five years ago, is said to be a relative of a vice-principal.

It is a common practice for school leaders to arrange relatives to be security guards at the school. Xiao Lou is not surprised at the university.

Everyone's evaluation of the security guard is "not very familiar", only that he likes to stroll around the campus in his spare time, because his relative is one of the vice-principals, so he is a little arrogant.

Xiao Liu, who worked as a security guard with him, said that he was not well-liked in the security team, and he liked to pretend too much.

So everyone doesn't like to take classes with him.

Shortly after his disappearance, his cousin who was the vice principal was suspended by the Education Bureau because of his alleged gambling. The school did not pay much attention to his disappearance. .

The third missing person, a Chinese teacher surnamed Zhou, suddenly disappeared six months ago. Colleagues spoke highly of him, saying that he was very talented, he exported poetry, he taught well in Chinese classes, he was good at handwriting, he also liked to collect calligraphy and paintings, and he copied all kinds of calligraphy. .

When Xiao Lou heard this, he was almost certain that the forged suicide note in the case of Sihan's fall from a building five years ago was the handwriting of this language teacher.

After the interrogation in the two interrogation rooms, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang met in the agreed air corridor.

They exchanged the acquired information with each other.

Yu Hanjiang said: "It is now certain that Zhang Qing is the murderer who killed Ying Xiaoya, and Xie Xinghe is the poisoner who dropped the chocolate, but the relationship between them and the real reason for Ying Xiaoya's death are still unclear."

Xiao Lou said: "Zhang Qing should have used some means to get the three suspected murderers of Si Han to take the bait. The psychology teacher was so fascinated by her that she almost wanted to marry her; the security guard and the language teacher are likely to be the same. If she was fooled, this would explain why she, as a woman, could easily kill three adult men."

There is a knife on the head of the word lust, and a lustful man will indeed lower his guard against a beautiful woman. But I don't know that the beauty of some women is like a highly poisonous flower. If you pick it easily, you will only make yourself bruised and even die.

Yu Hanjiang looked back at Xiao Lou: "If your inference is true and the three of them are very lustful, the truth of Sihan's fall from the building may be that the three of them joined forces to rape this beautiful female student?"

Xiao Lou's face paled slightly: "It's possible."

Therefore, when Zhang Qing took revenge, he also seized on their lustful weakness.

Xiao Lou frowned: "However, the Ying Xiaoya case still cannot be explained, why did she kill Ying Xiaoya? Five years ago, Ying Xiaoya was still in junior high school when Si Han fell from the building, so it should have nothing to do with this case. Besides, Yu Hui's confession mentioned that Xiaoya's parents are out of town, and it has nothing to do with this case, right?"

Yu Hanjiang thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Count Monte Cristo, the protagonist has only three enemies. The three killed by Zhang Qing are the ones who killed Si Han. There shouldn't be a fourth enemy."

He paused, his eyes became extremely deep: "After successfully killing one enemy after another, Zhang Qing's mentality has changed, she gained a sense of pleasure and a strong sense of superiority from the process of killing. The layout is too sophisticated, the police can't find any evidence, she thinks she is very smart..."

Xiao Lou was startled: "So, it is possible that Ying Xiaoya was innocently implicated?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded; "From Xie Xinghe's desire to save Ying Xiaoya, it can be inferred that Ying Xiaoya should be innocent. Suppose, Xie Xinghe knew all this long ago, and he also has the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" in his schoolbag, indicating that he agrees Zhang Qing’s method of revenge. Ying Xiaoya knew this by accident, Zhang Qing wanted to silence her, but Xie Xinghe stopped him because he felt that Zhang Qing’s killing of the enemy was excusable and killing Ying Xiaoya was too much, so he warned, Poison, want to save this innocent girl, let Zhang Qing stop... but he is one step too late."

Xiao Lou followed Yu Hanjiang's train of thought and said, "Zhang Qing is addicted to killing people, and she has accumulated enough experience. She forged her suicide note, bought the same shoes, and pushed Ying Xiaoya downstairs... Xie Xinghe probably didn't expect her. In Xie Xinghe's original plan, Ying Xiaoya or Yu Hui were poisoned on Monday and were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The police came to the school to investigate. During this time, he could persuade Zhang Qing to stop. As long as Zhang Qing did not respond Xiaoya does it, Xie Xinghe doesn't want to expose her, the secret of Maple Tree will forever become a secret, and if he fakes the illusion that his classmates misrepresented the poison, this matter will pass."

Unfortunately, it was a step too late.

Xie Xinghe underestimated Zhang Qing's efficiency and cruelty, but overestimated his own plans.

He poisoned and Zhang Qing collided with the car just in time, and a series of cases were involved, connecting the Si Han case five years ago, the disappearance case in recent years, and Ying Xiaoya's fall from a building. .

He failed to save Ying Xiaoya and Zhang Qing.

Yu Hanjiang sighed lightly and said: "Xie Xinghe, it is very likely Zhang Qing's relatives, and Si Han is also related to them by blood, so when Zhang Qing took revenge, he did not stop it. Until Zhang Qing's psychology was twisted and he responded to the innocent. Xiaoya started... He wanted to stop it, but it was too late."

Some murderers may just kill by mistake at first, or kill one or two people to satisfy their own purpose.

But when the first crime is successful, the murderer will find that killing is so simple, they will get great satisfaction, and slowly fall in love with the thrill of killing, and become a brutal serial killer.

Zhang Qing, a person who originally wanted to avenge the innocent Si Han, finally turned into the one he hated the most and killed an innocent girl with his own hands.

***

A prompt popped up in the air in front of the two at the same time—

The reasoning result of the secret room of Hearts 3, please select.

The person who poisoned Ying Xiaoya: Xie Xinghe? Yes/No/Not sure.

The person who pushed Ying Xiaoya downstairs: Zhang Qing? Yes/No/Not sure.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, and the other party looked at him, and the two exchanged glances.

This time, without hesitation, they pressed the first option at the same time: yes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they pressed it down, a line of blood-red characters flashed in front of the two of them——

[Congratulations to challengers Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang for clearing Hearts

3 secret rooms, find all the existing clues, the clearance time is 3 days, 3 hours and 24 minutes, and the clearance score is 955 points, breaking the world record of the 3 secret rooms of hearts! 】

To be able to pass the customs perfectly, both of them were a little surprised.

Zhang Qing and Xie Xinghe have been taken away by the police, and all the clues they should be looking for have been found. Others that cannot be found may be "hidden plots", such as the double kill of the murderer in the secret room of Hearts 2, which is only told to the player by the last hidden plot card.

The Secret Room of Hearts 3, the real cause of Si Han's death, the process of Zhang Qing's revenge, the relationship between Zhang Qing and Xie Xinghe, and why Ying Xiaoya was killed, these are estimated to be hidden plots, and we have to wait for the final plot card.

Refreshing records... Seems reasonable?

After all, it is a combination of criminal police and forensic doctors. He knew about Ying Xiaoya's poisoning one day in advance, so he went to search the archives and laboratories in advance, stayed up until the early morning for two consecutive nights, climbed stairs, turned windows, picked locks, and fought wits with security guards...

They have experienced three days of exhaustion and excitement, and now they have cleared the secret room, but it is difficult to calm down.

Xiao Lou remembered the morning when he first saw Ying Xiaoya, the girl hurriedly ran into the school gate, wearing a sweater and jeans, with wet eyes, as innocent as a little white rabbit who strayed into the forest.

She stood cautiously in the back row of the classroom, clenching her fists and fighting back tears.

In fact, even if Zhang Qing didn't kill her, she wouldn't talk too much with her guts, but unfortunately, she still couldn't escape this bad luck in the end.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and finally glanced at the maple trees in the school.

The magnificent maple forest when I first came to the secret room world, at this time, because the ground was dug up, the maple trees were swayed, and there was no more grand scene of a large number of maple leaves falling.

He and Team Yu were about to leave here soon, and watching this scene, he only felt a tightness in his chest.

A good campus is stained with too much blood. Xiao Lou can't change the ending of the secret room world. I just hope that the students in the real world can spend their most simple and beautiful middle school years safely and happily.

Goodbye, Maplewood High School.

The author has something to say: resume update~~
