Chapter 70 Mother

"Boss, I've done the investigation." Meng Ning yawned aside, "Li Lan is just an ordinary housewife. Her hometown is not here, and she didn't go to university here. She doesn't have many friends in this city. It is the parent of the child’s classmate. My husband is on business trips all year round and is now abroad. We have notified him but he will not be back until tomorrow night.”

Gu Yexi: "How is her relationship with the Lu family?"

Huang Jiade: "She and the Lu family only met after the children were in the same class. We haven't known each other for long. We usually meet and say hello. We are not familiar with each other, and we have no grudges."

Gu Yexi: "Where's Lu Fang? What's the autopsy result?"

Meng Ning handed over a report, "Lu Fang was stabbed to death in the heart, and the time of death was probably between five and six yesterday afternoon, that is to say, when they were playing hide and seek."

Gu Yexi stared at the report, his expression became a little surprised, "There are only Lu Fang and Xiao Qing's fingerprints on the handle of the knife. Judging from the position of Lu Fang's fingerprints and the angle of the knife blade, he stabbed the knife himself? "

Others were also surprised, "What? Suicide?"

Meng Ning shrugged, "I also think it's strange, but that's the judgment of the forensic doctor."

Mo Wang: "Could it be that it's campus bullying, they forced Xiao Fang to stab himself, but they didn't expect Xiao Fang to stab himself to death all at once?"

Gu Yexi stared at the photo of the murder weapon and pondered carefully. To be precise, the murder weapon was a dagger with a very retro shape, as if it was a prop stolen from an ancient costume TV series. Western style.He always felt that he had seen this dagger somewhere a long time ago, but he couldn't remember it.Could it be some broken TV show?

"Gu?" Mo Wang called him.

He came back to his senses and said: "Jade Lizi, go back to the homes of the four children to find evidence, such as diaries, mobile phones, and the school uniforms that Xiaoqing and Xiaodie wore that day. They must be searched out. We must solve the problem. Clear. Meng Ning, this knife has a strange shape and exquisite workmanship. It should not be found on the street. You can check the source. Mo Wang and I will talk to her for a while first."

In the interrogation room, Li Lan sat expressionlessly.

Gu Yexi cut to the chase, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Lan's eyes were a little empty, and she said as if endorsing: "I went to the bathroom with Xiuli yesterday, and her toilet was broken, and the door suddenly couldn't be opened, so I went to the administrator. I met Xiaofang on the way, and I Seeing him playing with my son's toys, I remembered that Xiaoqing had told me before that Xiaofang often bullied him. When I got angry, I stabbed him. After that, I hid Xiaofang in the trunk of the car, and then Pretend that he was kidnapped, and dispose of the body when you are not paying attention."

Gu Yexi sneered, "There are too many loopholes in your statement, right? The children were playing in the back mountain, and you would never appear near the back mountain from the toilet to the administrator's office. How could you meet Xiao Fang?" ?”

Li Lan: "He seemed to be going to the bathroom at the time, so we ran into him."

Mo Wang: "You said he was playing with your son's toy, what toy? Where is the toy now?"

Li Lan: "I threw it away. I forgot where I threw it."

Gu Yexi: "You said you stabbed him in a moment of anger, so where did you get your dagger? Don't you mean to tell me that you always carry a dagger with you when you go out?"

Li Lan paused and said, "I picked it up on the ground."

Gu Yexi couldn't help laughing, "You can pick up daggers on the ground casually? Those who don't know think that daggers grow from the ground!"

Li Lan repeated without emotion like a repeater, "I just picked it up on the ground."

Gu Yexi: "Okay, you said that Xiao Fang bullied Xiao Qing, how did he bully him? Where did he bully him? What did he do? Can anyone prove it?"

Li Lan: "I don't remember, I only know that he bullied my child."

Gu Yexi: "Since Xiao Qing and Xiao Fang are at odds, why invite him to play together?"

Li Lan: "Huanhuan invited me, and it has nothing to do with Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing is afraid of him, and dare not not play with him."

Gu Yexi: "When you killed Xiao Fang, where were the other children?"

Li Lan: "I don't know."

Gu Yexi: "If they weren't around when Xiao Fang died, then please explain why there is his blood on the school uniforms of other children?"

Li Lan: "I don't know, but my child's school uniform is not on it. Maybe it was glued on when they were playing. Isn't it normal for children to get hurt when they fight?"

Gu Yexi stared at the mother who was desperately protecting her child, and said with a serious expression: "Li Lan, I know you want to protect your child, so you put the blame on yourself. But have you ever thought about it, Xiaoqing? What will happen next? He bears the title of a murderer's child, how much discrimination will he suffer in the future? You know the nature of your husband's work, and he can't take good care of Xiaoqing, so what will he do next? "

Li Lan was unmoved, "I'm telling the truth."

Mo Wang also advised her, "Xiao Qing is a minor, if Xiao Fang's death was accidental, the punishment would not be severe, but if you were the one who got in, it would be different."

Li Lan was very stubborn, "I've said everything I want to say."

Gu Yexi: "Don't think that if you insist that you killed yourself, we will believe you. We know that Xiao Fang was not killed by you, and your false statement will not help the incident at all."

Li Lan turned her face away and stopped talking.

night.

"How? Li Lan still refuses to talk?" Meng Ning said while gnawing on a chicken wing.

Jiade shook his head, "Don't talk, don't eat, just sit there all the time, I feel like I'm going to become a Buddha."

Li Zi hasn't washed for three days, and her greasy hair sticks to her scalp, like a teacher in the last century, "I don't know whether to say she is great or stupid. It has reached this point, and things must be hidden." , Insist on not telling the truth, do you think it can really help the child?"

Gu Yexi felt that her cold seemed to be getting worse, secretly swallowed a few pills, and blew her nose, "How are you looking for evidence?"

Meng Ning looked sad, "I can't find the source of the dagger, I guess it might be self-made."

Huang Jiade: "Xiaodie got the school uniform that day, and found Xiaofang's blood. We counted Xiaoqing's school uniform, and one set was missing. Xiaoqing said that he didn't know where he went. I suspect that Li Lan It was dealt with, and I am still looking for it. I have read the diaries of several children, and they are all very ordinary contents. There is no mention of Xiaofang bullying Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing himself wrote that he bullied others. people's business."

Li Zi: "We talked to He Xiuli. She said that when she was in the toilet, the door suddenly couldn't be opened and she couldn't get out, so she asked Li Lan to call the administrator. But before the door broke, she heard Li Lan's phone rang, and she seemed very nervous. Her voice was low and she didn't know what she was talking about. She thought Li Lan had cheated on her and was chatting with her lover. I think it might be that Xiaoqing called her mother and asked her She asked for help. Afterwards, Li Lan blocked the door of the toilet on purpose, lied to He Xiuli that the door was broken, and went to find the administrator by herself, in fact, to deal with Xiao Fang's affairs."

Mo Wang nodded: "Well, it should be like this. What about those children? Do they have any new ideas?"

Huang Jiade shook his head: "I don't want to say anything anymore, I either cry or keep my head down and remain silent."

Gu Yexi frowned, "I think the biggest doubt and the key to unraveling the truth of the matter is how did Xiao Fang die? Did he really stab himself to death? Why did he do this? Yes Forced or voluntary? Or an accident?"

Meng Ning raised his hands high, "I think it was an accident. A few brats found a dagger from somewhere, and wanted to act in a costume drama. Xiao Fang thought the dagger was a toy, so he stabbed himself, but he didn't expect it to be real. knife, and stabbed himself to death.”

Huang Jiade: "I don't agree, I think Xiao Fang was forced. The current campus bullying is terrible."

Li Zi slumped on the chair with his head tilted, "Tell me, is it possible that they are playing truth or dare, or are they trying to compare who is more courageous? Children are not sensible, and they may not expect to stab them to death. For Xiao Fang Prove your audacity and stab yourself."

"What about you?" Gu Yexi kicked Mo Wang.

"I..." Mo Wang thought for a while, "Only the fingerprints of Xiao Qing and Xiao Fang are on the dagger, it seems that Xiao Qing handed the dagger to Xiao Fang, and the other two people have never touched the dagger. Children are very curious. , especially a dagger with such a peculiar shape. If you saw your companion take out such a thing, you should rush to take a look. But Xiaodie and Huanhuan didn't do this, which means they are already familiar with this dagger , or at least have seen it before."

Gu Yexi nodded, "Well, that makes sense, then what?"

Mo Wang: "Xiao Fang doesn't have any other scars on his body. Judging from his diary, he has never been bullied. If it was just a few words of threats, would he be so stupid and really stab himself with a knife? I don't think so. In other words, Xiao Fang may not think that this dagger will stab himself. So do other people know? As I said just now, other people should be very familiar with this dagger, so there is no reason not to know This can stab people to death. But if they know, here is another question, what is their motive? Why did Xiao Fang stab himself to death?"

Gu Yexi cast an appreciative look, "Indeed. What is their motive? For fun? Judging from our contact with a few children, they are not such inhumane people. For revenge? There is no conflict between them. This is the place I can't figure out the most."

"Boss!" Meng Ning suddenly yelled, "Look, the technical team restored a deleted video in Xiaoqing's phone, an incredible video!"
