Chapter 191 Solving the Case in One Day
Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing appeared side by side at the bottom of the male dormitory of Tianjin University, and immediately attracted the attention of many passing students.
Handsome men and beautiful women can easily become the focus of everyone's attention.
Especially Ye Xiaojing, such a beautiful girl with fair skin, long legs and cool clothes appeared in a place where boys gathered, it was really hard to be ignored!
Even the dormitory aunt noticed them and stole a few glances at them through the window of the dormitory hall.
Jiang Qian met the other's gaze and greeted her: "Aunt Zhang, my girlfriend."
As he said, he reached out and put his arm around Ye Xiaojing's shoulders and gently took her into his arms.
Aunt Zhang, the dormitory keeper, immediately showed an expression of "I understand, I understand" and responded to Jiang Qian with a smile.
Only Ye Xiaojing was a little nervous throughout the whole process.
Jiang Qian leaned close to Ye Xiaojing's ear: "Sister Xiaojing, you have to get into the state~"
Ye Xiaojing's lips moved: "State?"
"Yes," Jiang Qian put his hand on the waist of the brown windbreaker, and coaxed his cold female subordinate, "It will be easier for people to believe if you get a little closer."
The two were "discussing" when a yellow-haired boy rushed down from the dormitory building in a hurry without looking up!
Until he approached Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing, the yellow-haired boy stopped with a look of surprise on his face!
He looked at Jiang Qian, then at the iceberg beauty held by Jiang Qian's waist, and then at Jiang Qian...
His mentality collapsed, and it was broken.
...
A few minutes later, the three of them sat down in a private room of a coffee shop not far from Tianjin University.
"Old Jiang, old Jiang, you actually, you..."
The haggard Xue Yang wanted to say something several times but stopped, and finally took a few sips of milk tea with both hands, using sugar to relieve the infinite pain in his heart!
Obviously, Jiang Qian cheated on his girlfriend, which made him feel "betrayed" by his best friend.
Xue Yang couldn't help but glance at Ye Xiaojing a few more times. This cold-blooded lady who sat beside Jiang Qian with her arms around her shoulders and never said a word gave him a strong sense of oppression and an insurmountable sense of distance.
"How dare you say that to me? You didn't even tell me about the disappearance of all the pets in the dormitory. Is that good enough?" Jiang Qian directly blamed him.
When this matter was mentioned, Xue Yang's face instantly turned like a frost-bitten eggplant: "Old Jiang, stop talking!"
He covered his chest with an expression of grief.
Jiang Qian stopped talking immediately: "Okay! Stop the drama and tell me what happened."
"Oh, it's really weird. About three months ago, someone in the dormitory next door lost their reptiles. I didn't take it seriously when I heard about it. As a result, within two days, my reptiles were also stolen one by one... There were no signs, and no signs of outsiders entering. It was as if the reptiles disappeared without a trace..."
Xue Yang described his experience of losing his reptiles, looking depressed and not very positive.
"Xue Yang, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Qian patted his friend's shoulder and said in a gentle way: "Regarding the loss of reptiles, can you recall more details? For example, before and during the incident, were there any different changes or phenomena in the dormitory building, or were there people who came from unknown places?"
Xue Yang racked his brains for a while, and looked up blankly: "It seems that there is nothing special. As for people, I didn't pay much attention..."
"I heard that there was a theft in the laboratory later. What happened later?"
"I'm not sure about this."
Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing looked at each other.
"Jiang Qian, what are you asking?" After Jiang Qian stopped asking questions, Xue Yang became curious.
"Nothing, just asking casually, I just heard about this today."
"Oh."
So Jiang Qian changed the subject and briefly talked to Xue Yang about recent schoolwork and exams, including an explanation of his internship experience at Wanzhong - he was just filling in as a security guard, and in fact he was no longer an intern at Wanzhong.
This was not considered a lie, Jiang Qian's current identity at Wanzhong Group was Director Jiang of the Research Center.
The three of them sat for a while, and Xue Yang was ready to leave on the pretext that he had something to do in the afternoon.
When he stood up, Jiang Qian casually asked: "Have you and Chu Qian been in touch recently?"
"Ah?"
Xue Yang almost lost his balance when he heard the name!
"Chu Qian... No, no contact, there's no chance for us." Xue Yang looked blank.
After seeing Xue Yang off, Ye Xiaojing looked at Jiang Qian: "He's lying."
Jiang Qian looked solemn and nodded slowly.
Xue Yang is not a cunning young man. Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing can tell with their naked eyes what he told the truth and what he kept back.
This was not the plot in Jiang Qian's plan.
He called Xue Yang out, intending to use Xue Yang, the big loser, to understand the whole process of the incident from the side, collect more materials and details, so as to verify the possible truth.
Who would have thought that Xue Yang would enter the "perfunctory mode" from the first sentence he said about the theft of reptiles, and he didn't talk about the details throughout the whole process, and didn't know anything when asked! He didn't give any details that Jiang Qian wanted to know.
"He didn't even dare to make eye contact with me. How guilty he was." Jiang Qian sighed.
"What should we do next? According to the plan?" Ye Xiaojing asked.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Qian looked around the coffee shop and found a pair of reptile lovers from the next class in the corner, so he took the initiative to go over and talk to them.
"Hi, I'm Jiang Qian from the next class. Have you heard about the recent theft of reptiles..."
Xue Yang is not the only window through which he can understand the whole picture of the matter from the side!
Ye Xiaojing watched Jiang Qian chatting from the first table to the second table and then to the next table...
20 minutes later, Jiang Qian returned to Ye Xiaojing with a bunch of bills.
"Anything gained?"
"Achieve a lot!"
Jiang Qian immediately began to review the key details with Ye Xiaojing:
"First of all, we know from the file that in the dormitory pet theft incident, no evidence or even traces were found that the thief entered the male dormitory building or entered each dormitory to steal."
"This is one of the reasons why the Sheriff's Department assigned the case to the Special Affairs Center."
Ye Xiaojing nodded: "Yes, it is initially speculated that the crime was committed internally and involved 'special means'."
"So we know that the opponent has a higher probability of being a super species player."
Jiang Qian continued:
"Therefore, when I was communicating with students in different dormitories, I focused particularly on suspicious phenomena, changes, and suspicious people, and thus obtained this information."
"First, three months ago, there was an incident where a pet came out of the cage and disturbed the residents. A classmate who lived on the second floor had his pet spider climb to the first floor and startled the dormitory teacher into crying. He was punished with a major demerit."
"Secondly, after the shocking incident of spiders, the dormitory teachers have stricter control over crawling pets in various dormitories, and even the attitude of the dormitory aunt has become stricter. In the past, I could still come in after going to bed late at night to discuss things, but later I couldn't There is simply no such unspoken rule.”
"Third, two of the four tables of students mentioned that during the period when the first batch of reptiles were stolen, the crow of chickens could occasionally be heard at dawn. However, no one raised chickens nearby."
"So?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
These clues sound completely unrelated, and it is hard to say that they will be of any help to the investigation of the case and the arrest of the perpetrator.
Jiang Qian smiled calmly and said: "So, we can go visit the dormitory teacher and the dormitory manager Aunt Zhang."
Handling cases requires diligence, carefulness, and sharp eyes.
Sometimes the key to solving a crime is hidden in the most inconspicuous details.
While the school employees were not off work, Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing split up in two directions: Ye Xiaojing went directly to the dormitory teacher as a security guard to understand the situation, while Jiang Qian returned to the dormitory along the same route to meet a dormitory teacher with whom he was familiar. Just let Aunt Zhang talk about family matters.
When he returned to the dormitory building, Jiang Qian saw Aunt Zhang looking out at him through the glass window of the dormitory's aunt's duty room from a distance.
So Laoyuan raised her hand to say hello. After approaching the window, Aunt Zhang stood up and said, "Jiang Qian, you haven't been back to school for a while, right?"
"Yes, Aunt Zhang."
"Oh, you can't delay your studies if you have a girlfriend!" Aunt Zhang maintained the traditional thinking of the older generation and did not see the single nature of Jiang Qian at all.
"Haha, no," Jiang Qian agreed, and explained, "My girlfriend is going to buy something, I'll wait for her."
As he said that, he looked around the aunt's room and started to talk: "Aunt Zhang, I heard that some strange things happened in our dormitory some time ago. Do you know about this?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang, the dormitory supervisor, immediately cheered up: "Yes! It's that... spider! Yes, the spider almost ran into the teacher's face, it's so bad!"
After she said this, she looked around again, lowered her voice and continued to complain to Jiang Qian about the crawling pets on the floor...
"What kind of things are not good for children nowadays? Cats, dogs, and rabbits, aren't they all quite cute? What kind of spiders, centipedes, ants, and lizards must be raised!"
"Are these things that can be used as pets? They are called pests and they are poisonous!"
Aunt Zhang complained so much about the people crawling all over the building that she almost hated her.
It seems that she has no sympathy for Xue Yang and others... Jiang Qian continued to ask with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, what do you think about raising chickens?"
"Raising chickens?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Qian doubtfully.
"Oh, no, I just said that casually, Aunt Zhang, don't look at me, I don't even live here." Jiang Qian quickly distanced himself.
Aunt Zhang seemed to be relieved: "I think your child is quite good. He studies well and has a good temperament. He is not like them who are careless. Now that you have a girlfriend, you have to pay more attention!"
"I understand, Aunt Zhang, thank you for your concern."
Seeing Ye Xiaojing return from the academic building, Jiang Qian was also ready to say goodbye to his dormitory supervisor Aunt Zhang.
Before leaving, he looked at the window sill and asked, "Aunt Zhang, didn't you take a photo with your daughter?"
Jiang Qian, who has a superb memory, clearly remembers that where a photo of the dormitory aunt Zhang and her daughter when she was a baby was originally placed, there is now a transparent plastic bottle containing some grain crumbs mixed with some dead pests.
"Ah, put it away." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "I keep it there because I'm afraid you wolf cubs will miss it!"
"Haha, you are still wiser!"
Jiang Qian turned around and walked out of the dormitory building.
From his spiritual perspective, there was a pair of eyes always watching him from behind.
…
"How's it going? What's the gain?" This time, Jiang Qian took the lead in asking Ye Xiaojing.
However, Ye Xiaojing shook his head: "The dormitory teacher who was scared by the spider applied for leave at that time. When she came back to work, she was transferred to another position far away from the boys' dormitory. She should have nothing to do with this matter. big."
"Yes." Jiang Qian nodded slowly, "The target range has been narrowed a little."
With a series of contacts and inquiries, Jiang Qian's thinking gradually became clearer about this case, which involved the theft of a reptile pet and the implication of a super-species attack on humans.
"It's time to meet classmate Chu Qian."
When Ye Xiaojing heard what Jiang Qian said, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you finally ready to meet your female classmates?"
"No, it's not me." Jiang Qian corrected, "It's you."
"I?"
"Yes, let's have a heart-to-heart talk between girls and I'll be there to listen."
So Jiang Qian told Ye Xiaojing his plan.
Ten minutes later, Chu Qian, who was studying in the study room, received a call from the female security guard and asked for an appointment.
The location was the same coffee shop where she first met Xue Yang. Ye Xiaojing was still sitting by the window, waiting for Chu Qian, while Jiang Qian was hiding in the corner, listening to the conversation between the two with an eavesdropping device.
"Classmate Chu Qian, this way!" Ye Xiaojing showed a rare tenderness and asked the frightened female classmate to sit down opposite.
"any drinks?"
"No, thank you. If you have any questions, just ask." Chu Qian looked very reserved and did not want to look at Ye Xiaojing.
"I'll give you a cup of hot milk. Don't be nervous."
Jiang Qianqian listened to Ye Xiaojing's soft words to comfort Chu Qian, and felt that the contrast was strange. She had never spoken like this to any man, including Lan Junxian.
"If you want to know anything, I will cooperate."
After taking a sip of hot milk, Chu Qian's anxiety seemed to be somewhat relieved.
"You know what I want to ask, the perpetrator." Ye Xiaojing smiled and said straight to the point.
Chu Qian's hand clenched the milk glass: "I'm sorry, I..."
"Don't you remember?" Ye Xiaojing tried to block Chu Qian's excuse. "After you were attacked that day, you managed to escape from the scene and sought help from the school security before you were rescued. In other words, you should have been awake throughout the entire process. In his current state, he shouldn’t have any impression of the attacker, right?”
Chu Qian was about to speak but stopped, having nothing to say.
Ye Xiaojing strikes while the iron is hot:
"Don't worry that the Public Security Department will arrest the wrong person because of your description. We will not wrongly accuse any innocent person, nor will we easily let a guilty person go."
"Well, I have a way to extract really useful information from your subconscious mind. What the conscious mind cannot remember, the subconscious mind often remembers."
"The specific operation is like this: I will describe the problem, and you only need to answer the former or the latter selectively. Just give me your first reaction. The more you think about it, the less accurate the answer will be. Let's give it a try, shall we? "
Chu Qian lowered her head and bit her lip: "Okay."
Then, just as Jiang Qian planned, the question and answer began:
"Male, or female?"
"male."
"Height 1.6 meters? 1.7 meters? 1.8 meters?"
"1.7 meters, probably."
"Young or old?"
"……old."
"When he attacked you, did he use his left hand or his right hand?"
"...right hand."
…
A series of pre-designed questions, after Ye Xiaojing’s questions and Chu Qian’s answers, the answers were already revealed.
"Last question, classmate Chu Qian."
Ye Xiaojing asked pleasantly:
"Is the other person's hair color yellow, or..."
Chu Qian suddenly shivered!
"I'm kidding~ There's no such problem. It was night when you were attacked. The other person was wearing a hat, so you shouldn't be able to see the color of his hair. I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
"..."
Ye Xiaojing patted Chu Qian on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back to class."
"Really...are there no other questions?" Chu Qian timidly raised her head and looked at Ye Xiaojing with pleading eyes.
"No more for now, thank you."
"good……"
Chu Qian stood up slowly while holding on to the table. She kept her head lowered and her shoulders were tense. The pressure on her body did not ease due to the security officer's release.
After Chu Qian left the cafe, Jiang Qian returned to Ye Xiaojing and spread out the paper that recorded Chu Qian's answers to each question.
Ye Xiaojing looked at the piece of paper with a hint of surprise on his face: the paper was carefully marked, including the time when Chu Qian said the answer and a summary of the current special expression. These are observations that can only be made with a stopwatch and psychic vision.
"Judging from her habit of answering questions and the speed of her speech, she obviously gave answers to these questions after thinking about them. It is assumed that she deliberately answered in the wrong direction to avoid the true characteristics of the perpetrator."
Jiang Qian calmly analyzed:
"If you modify these answers, the characteristics of the perpetrator will be clear: male, young, thin, 1.7 meters tall, good with his left hand."
Ye Xiaojing looked at Jiang Qian and read out a name half-heartedly.
