In the cold light of the private room, Yuan Ai was hugging a woman in her twenties and kissing. The woman was sitting on his lap, wearing a purple dress, with a graceful figure. A man in a tuxedo was playing the piano in the private room. The music was melodious, and surrounded the few listeners like soft spring water.

Yuan Ai didn't notice that the stranger was coming in from the door. He took the medicine brought by his companion not long ago, and now he is in the mood, only the beauty in his arms is in his eyes. Zhao Mu called him a few times and he didn't hear him. In the end, the woman struggled to push him away, nervously saying, "Xiao Ai, okay, it looks like someone is looking for you."

Yuan Ai turned sideways impatiently, his eyes dangling on Yi Fei after a moment of wandering.

He squinted his eyes for a long time, as if focusing, and finally spit out: "Who the **** are you? Go to Lao Tzu's site to find something?"

Zhou Lan whispered: "Police?"

Yuan Ai was so excited, the drug addiction seemed to have disappeared.

Yi Fei's gaze swept across the faces of this group of underage "Kuo Shao", one by one with the students outside the group, he sighed in his heart, "Take your personal belongings, and come out with me."

Yuan Ai pushed the woman onto the sofa abruptly, stood up fiercely, and rushed forward, trying to give Yi Fei an offense.

"You fucking..."

Before the words fell, Yi Fei's hands had been cut behind him.

"Let go of me!" Yuan Ai struggled uncontrollably. "What the **** is your name? Show me your credentials!"

Seeing Yuan Ai being captured, Zhao Mu and Zhou Lan made a call, and the other secretly stuffed the remaining powder into the drawer of the coffee table.

Yi Fei saw it, and said sharply, "Don't make small moves!"

Several other team members have rushed in and controlled everyone in the private room.

From the clubhouse to the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Yi Fei re-looked at the student information——

Yuan Ai, 18 years old, his parents are in real estate business, his family is superior, and his grades are at the end of the grade;

Zhou Lan, 17 years old, has divorced parents, his father is the director of the hospital, his family is superior and his grades are poor;

Zhao Mu, 17 years old, is a medical business with his parents, from a superior family background and poor grades;

Wang Hongye, 17 years old, his parents are in business, his family background is average, and his grades are in the middle class. He has been a follower to Yuan, Zhou, and Zhao since the first year of high school;

Meng Yi, 17 years old, his parents worked in state-owned enterprises, and the rest is similar to Wang Hongye.

There is no doubt that this is a small group with Yuan Ai at the core.

"Why are you arresting me!" Yuan Ai was very uncomfortable with the bright lights of the inquiry room. He rubbed his eyes several times and stared at Yi Fei viciously.

18 years old, already an adult. Yuan Ai is tall, with a height of 1.85 meters, is strong, and he can see that he exercises regularly. He held his chin high and roared hoarsely. If he hadn't been afraid of the detective in front of him, his fist would have already greeted him.

"With this bag." Yi Fei picked up a transparent material evidence bag, which contained the powder that had been hidden by Zhou Lan.

Yuan Ai's expression froze, and his momentum was suddenly decadent.

"Sit down." Yi Fei said, "I have other things to ask you."

Yuan Ai's eyes began to dodge, "What, what's the matter?"

Yi Fei said, "How much do you know about your classmate Xiang Haoming?"

"Xiang Haoming?" Yuan Ai's reaction was not small, his eyes full of contempt, "Ask him what is he doing? That dead poor ghost."

"Dead poor ghost?" Yi Fei said, "What else?"

Yuan Ai said impatiently: "No, you want to know Xiang Haoming, then you can't finish looking for Xiang Haoming? He and I are not from the same world. I haven't said a few words to him."

Yi Fei's index finger tapped on the table.

For a moment, Yuan Ai was startled, "Fuck, isn't Xiang Haoming what happened?"

Yi Fei said, "Don't you know?"

"What the **** do I know?" Yuan Ai showed some inexplicable panic on his face, "He... really something happened?"

"Where are you in the early morning of the first day of the new year?" Yi Fei asked, "Who are you with?"

Yuan Ai shouted: "What the **** is going on?"

Yi Fei stared at him, "Xiang Haoming was killed."

Yuan Ai was stunned for two seconds before reacting: "What..."

"So you think I killed Xiang Haoming?" Zhao Mu glared at the detective, "Why? Because of my bad grades?"

Zhou Lan was relatively calm, "Xiang Haoming is dead? I don't know, it's none of my business. You found the wrong person."

Meng Yi kept his head down and said in a low voice, "It's not me, I am not familiar with Xiang Haoming. Please don't inform my parents, they are the ones taking the medicine, and I haven't touched them at all! If my dad knew me and them Mixed together, yes, will kill me!"

Wang Hongye seemed to be the only person among the five who knew that Xiang Haoming had been killed. He was very depressed, "It's a pity, I can't think of anyone who would harm him."

When Yi Fei came out of the interrogation room, the technical investigators had already completed the inspection of the powder-it was an improved traditional hallucinogen, and people would feel short-lived mental pleasure after ingesting it.

Zhou Lan had already explained that the powder was bought from a dealer, and all four of them had inhaled it except Meng Yi.

"Stay restrained first." Yi Fei said to Xu Chun: "When Xiang Haoming was killed, Yuan Ai, Zhou Lan, and Zhao Mu claimed to be playing motorcycles on the mountain road in the urban-rural junction of Dongcheng District. The alibi was not sufficient."

"Playing motorcycles during the Chinese New Year?" Xu Chun frowned, "These **** really have ideas."

Yi Fei folded his arms and leaned against the wall. "Wang Hongye and Meng Yi are attendants. The two spent the New Year's Eve with their families. Yuan Ai usually took them with them. Today, he took them with his'medicine', but they did not Notify them. I always think there is something wrong."

Dongcheng District, Lantian New Street.

The heater was on in the car, but Wen Chaolong was still shaking.

"Are you coming to me to get to know Xiang Haoming?" He looked at the rearview mirror alertly, and met Ming Shu's sight there.

In an instant, he had taken his gaze away.

Ming Shu said, "You already know that Xiang Haoming had an accident?"

Wen Chaolong nodded slightly, "I heard."

Ming Shu asked, "Who is listening?"

"They." After Wen Chaolong finished speaking, he added: "My classmates said, Teacher Jiang also called me and said that if the police find them, they must cooperate."

Ming Shu nodded and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "It's so late, where are you going alone?"

Wen Chaolong pursed his lip, "Internet cafe."

Ming Shu said: "Because of conflicts with parents?"

Wen Chaolong's mood suddenly changed after hearing this, "What does this have to do with you? If you want to know Xiang Haoming with me, I said. If you want to inquire about other things, I don't think I am obligated to cooperate with you. "

"As far as I know, you, like Xiang Haoming, entered the first class based on the results of the high school entrance examination, but failed to squeeze into the experimental class." Ming Shu kept staring at the rearview mirror while speaking, "From high school to high school, you He Xiang Haoming's ranking is relatively stable, he is the first and you are the second."

Clear masseter muscles appeared on Wen Chaolong's cheeks, and the lines of his neck became stiff. Anger, unwillingness, and jealousy burst into his emotions almost instantly.

"The question I will ask next may make you feel offended." Ming Shu said, "But I have to ask."

Wen Chaolong took a deep breath, "Do you suspect that Xiang Haoming's death is related to me? You want to ask him where I was when he died. Can anyone prove it for me?"

Ming Shu said, "So, where are you?"

"I'm reading at home." Wen Chaolong's eyes have turned red, his hands forming fists, pressed tightly on his legs.

"your family……"

"My mother is playing cards at the lead house. I am at home alone. I eat leftovers at noon in the evening, do the problem at 10 o'clock, and then go out for a run."

Ming Shu said: "Run?"

"Is it weird to run?" Wen Chaolong smiled softly, "I also thought about the Spring Festival, there is a shopping mall four kilometers away from my home, where there is a firework show. I...I want to go and see."

Ming Shu suddenly thought of Xiang Haoming.

On New Year's Eve, Xiang Haoming was also doing the questions alone at home. He left home suddenly in the middle, whether he could breathe or escape from the depressed home, his mood at that time might be the same as Wen Chaolong.

"I understand you doubt me." Wen Chaolong shook his head bitterly, "I **** doubt myself! Xiang Haoming and I are in similar families, both are poor, and neither of my parents are promising. Our class is except me and Xiang Hao. Ming, there are two other people who have passed the test, all of them are rich second generations! The expenses of one day are worth our food expenses for one week or one month. Our class is not an experimental class, and there is only one scholarship per semester. Xiang Haoming always Coming down on my head, he is the first in the class, and the bursary goes to him. I thought more than once, if it would be fine without him, if he..."

After a moment of silence, Wen Chaolong said: "If he is dead, it will be fine!"

Ming Shu frowned, calmly analyzing Wen Chaolong at this time.

"But I didn't kill him." Wen Chaolong leaned back in his chair and snorted to himself, "I am an ordinary person. I have countless hatreds in my heart. It is useless to hate me. And humble mother, hate Xiang Haoming, hate the rich in the class, I want to kill everyone. But I don't have the courage."

As he said, Wen Chaolong hugged his head with his hands, "It would be nice if I could not be so ordinary. If I was smarter, I would be able to surpass Xiang Haoming, and maybe I could squeeze into the experimental class. I would be more cruel, I Can kill my mother."

After a long silence, Xiao Yuan started the car.

"Go to the Municipal Bureau for a while, is that okay?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Wen Chaolong looked at the criminal policeman who had not spoken, shrugged and said, "I don't have to go home, I'm relieved."

Everyone in the serious case team was busy, and Yi Fei handed a tablet to Ming Shu, "The inquiry records are all in it."

Ming Shu took a look, "Are they still taking drugs?"

Yi Fei said: "Yes, a low-addiction hallucinogen. Of the five students, two have a clear alibi. The other three are in good family conditions, but their parents are busy with work and neglected to discipline."

Ming Shu looked at it for a while, his face darkened, "Wang Hongye and Meng Yidu said that Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu tend to be violent."

"Yes." Yi Fei said: "These two are famous **** students in a foreign country. They were almost punished for fighting in their first year of high school. Wang Hongye and Meng Yi followed them, on the one hand because they had money, on the other hand, because Fear them. As for Zhou Lan, this student played the role of a military instructor among the three."

"I am addicted to violence, have the habit of taking hallucinogens, have several records of insulting classmates, there is no alibi at the time of the incident, and claiming to be playing motorcycles in the urban-rural fringe." Ming Shu said: "These three people are not small."

"Xu Chun has already gone to verify." Yi Fei said, "but there may be some difficulties. The monitoring of the urban-rural fringe is relatively small, and I guess it is difficult to find witnesses.

Mingshu put down the tablet and said, "By the way, how do you feel when you face them?"

Investigating cases requires real evidence, but even if there is no evidence, experienced criminal police will have their own judgments after contact with suspects.

This sounds very mysterious, and basically it can't be taught to newcomers like in class, so I can only find it on my own.

Every criminal policeman who has worked with serious crimes all the year round has a unique set of judgment models.

"It is Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu who tend to be violent, but their reactions are relatively normal in my opinion." Yi Fei said, "They didn't know that Xiang Haoming had been killed, the shock they showed was not bad.' Well done.”

Ming Shu said, "Do you think Zhou Lan is weird?"

"How do you say, he has a kind of indifference that makes me feel uncomfortable." Yi Fei paused and twisted his eyebrows for a moment. "How did Xiang Haoming say he was also his classmate. He learned that Xiang Haoming was killed. Both the tone and the look in the eyes are very cold, even with some mockery, the reaction is like, like..."

Ming Shu said a description that Yi Fei couldn't think of for a while, "It's like watching a bug being trampled to death indifferently."

Yi Fei said: "Yes! That's how it feels! Zhou Lan is only 17 years old, sophomore in high school. Without setting foot in society, she was able to watch the death of her classmates coldly. I remember the summer vacation when I was admitted to university and learned that my junior high school classmate died unexpectedly. Although I haven’t seen each other for more than a year, I was still stunned for a long time. When I went to the funeral home to see his body, I still felt unreal."

"The reaction of ordinary people is like this." Ming Shu said: "Zhou Lan is worth noting."

"But Zhou Lan was with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu at the time of the incident." Yi Fei said: "If Zhao Mu and Yuan Ai are not related to Xiang Haoming's death, logically speaking, he should not be suspected."

Ming Shu picked up a marker, walked to the whiteboard, and quickly wrote down a few key names, "Xiang Lin still has no news. Chen Hongbing has offended many people, but after you check it out, these people are either not capable of committing crimes, or There is an alibi. There is more than one murderer, and setting off firecrackers is extremely cruel. They know that firecrackers will be set off on New Year’s Eve in Fanglong Alley. Although Xiang Haoming ran out suddenly on New Year’s Eve, the murderer was definitely not a temporary motive. They had long thought about it. Start with Xiang Haoming. It's difficult to determine the murderer's motives. Maybe it is their motives to see Xiang Haoming suffering."

Yi Fei said: "The murderer knew Xiang Haoming, and Xiang Haoming might have drunk their wine."

Ming Shu turned around, "I just thought of a scene."

Yi Fei nodded, "If I were Xiang Haoming, I couldn't stand the oppression of Chen Hongbing and went out secretly with a sense of freedom. If I met my classmates—male classmates, they would ask me to play together, even if they are not very familiar with them. , I will also be with them, and then... take the wine they handed over."

Xiao Yuan listened to the analysis of the two, "Xiang Haoming has a not-so-notable personality trait-he has a very low sense of presence in the class and is not good at socializing. He has a strong sense of rejection of his origin and his parents. This sense of rejection made him eager to integrate into the circle of wealthy children and escape from his original world. He appeared to be'cold', not because he looked down on people with worse grades, but because of his attitude towards his family when faced with these people. Low self-esteem."

Ming Shu closed the marker with a solemn expression, "The one who handed him the olive branch on New Year's Eve is..."

The mobile phone on the table rang, Ming Shu picked it up, and Fang Yuanhang shouted: "Master! I have found it here!"

Xicheng District, Kuansi Street Fireworks Sales Point.

"I have been in business for decades, but nothing else is good, just remember it!" The boss Gong Qiangguo snapped the list and said, "This one was bought by three students. I am absolutely correct!"

Xiao Man asked: "Do you have surveillance here?"

"We are mobile vendors, so we make money for the month of the Spring Festival. What kind of surveillance is there." Gong Qiangguo said, "I didn't lie anyway. They bought so much for a total of 3,412 yuan. I think they are young people, so I think it's affirmative. It was a scan code, but they gave me cash directly. I said that anyone still uses cash these days, I can’t make up, and one of them said that there is no need to make up.”

Fang Yuanhang asked, "Did you see what car they were driving?"

Gong Qiangguo shook his head, "I can see it everywhere. It's all people and cars, but 12 boxes are not a small number. They must have cars."

"You have a good memory, then do you want to be able to afford them?" Fang Yuanhang said.

Gong Qiangguo rubbed his hands and thought for a long time, "Hey, there is an impression, you let them stand in front of me, I will definitely recognize it, but if you let me describe, I can't tell."

Mingshu rushed to Kuansi Street without a second word, which belongs to the urban-rural fringe of Xicheng District. The monitoring construction is naturally not as good as the urban area, but it is not without gains to investigate with determination.

"Master!" Fang Yuanhang raised his hands high, and a white mist appeared when he spoke.

"Thank you." Ming Shu rarely praised his apprentice once, "Good job."

Fang Yuanhang took a breath of cold air into his lungs and coughed one after another, "There is no surveillance near the boss's stall."

"It's not a big problem. I saw a camera in the east gate when I came in just now." Ming Shu said, "You and Xiao Man will immediately go to adjust the surveillance between 3pm and 4pm on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, during which cars entering and leaving the sales point. Don’t let go of one."

Gong Qiangguo was invited to the police car, holding the tablet that Mingshu gave him.

"It's not this, it's not this." Gong Qiangguo seriously looked at the solo photos of the 17th class of the Second Foreign Language School, Wen Chaolong, Lai Cheng, Yuan Ai...the photos were clicked to enlarge, and they were swiped over. Until the 23rd student appeared.

Gong Qiangguo took the tablet closer, "Hey!"

The picture is Zhou Lan.

"I remember him, he gave me money so I don't have to look for it." Gong Qiangguo said, "There is also a man and a woman."

Almost at the same time, Xu Chun finally found a video of Yuan Ai, Zhao Mu, and Zhou Lan driving a locomotive in the video of Beixiang Police Station in Dongcheng District.

At 10:20 on New Year's Eve, the three of them were resting on the side of the road, and their faces were clearly captured by the camera.
