Mysterious country

The scene of the crime was this 4-room dormitory where Xia Qi had left traces for three years. The reporter was Cao Jinhai. He got up in the middle of the night and went to the toilet. When he came back, he found that Yang Shucheng had been killed.

In the interrogation room of the police station, Cao Jinhai collapsed and sat opposite Xia Qi and a middle-aged policeman. He narrated in a hoarse voice:

"I don't know what kind of stimulation Changye has received in the past few days. He is nervous all day long. He doesn't go out to eat with us. He just stays in the dormitory alone and doesn't go to any classes."

"Did he tell you anything? For example, you said he was stimulated." The middle-aged policeman asked at this time.

"Yes, he said that he has been dreaming these days, and he always has the same dream."

"Dream?"

"Well, it's a nightmare, that's what he said, and he told me about it for two days."

"What kind of nightmare is it exactly?"

"I didn't listen to the details, but I just heard him say that someone wanted to kill him."

Cao Jinhai repeated what he said to Yang Shucheng and the others during dinner that night.

"Did someone want to kill him in the dream, or did someone want to kill him in reality?"

"It must be a dream. How could someone kill him in reality? Besides, even if someone really wanted to kill him, they wouldn't let him know!"

Cao Jinhai suddenly became very excited, obviously recalling the tragic scene he saw at that time.

"Haidai, drink some water first."

At this time, Xia Qi handed Cao Jinhai a glass of warm water. After he drank it, he signaled to the middle-aged policeman next to him that he could continue asking questions.

The middle-aged policeman nodded and said again:

"One thing you need to understand is that we must implement every detail. Because this case is very bad and there are many doubts, we hope you can understand us and cooperate with us."

Cao Jinhai put down the water glass tremblingly and looked up at the middle-aged policeman with a majestic face:

"They are all my good buddies, and I will cooperate."

"Well, thank you for your cooperation." The middle-aged policeman said symbolically, and then returned to the topic:

"What did you do before the case happened?"

"You mean at night?"

"Um."

"In the evening, we went out to have a meal first. Changye was still nervous, so he didn't go out with the two of us. We drank a little wine with Shucheng, and each of us had a bottle of beer. I swear None of us were drunk.

Shucheng wanted to give something to his partner, so I went back first. After returning to the dormitory, I found that Masano was sleeping. I didn't wake him up, so I climbed to the upper bunk alone and chatted with my friends on my mobile phone for a while.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Shucheng also returned to the dormitory. Changye was not awake at that time. The two of us even complained about him, thinking that we would take him to see a doctor tomorrow. If he were to stay like this, he would be useless.

Because we got up very early in the morning, we didn't chat for too long before going to bed separately. "

When Cao Jinhai said this, the middle-aged man suddenly interrupted him and asked:

"Is Yang Shucheng asleep at this time?"

"I'm not sure, but I think he was asleep."

The middle-aged policeman nodded after hearing this, quickly wrote two strokes in his notebook, and signaled Cao Jinhai to continue.

"I woke up due to the need to pee. I endured it for a while because I was too lazy to get down, but finally got out of bed."

"Do you know what time it is?"

"10:20, I remember it very clearly because I looked at the time specifically."

"Did you find anything wrong? For example, Yang Shucheng or Li Changye."

"There's nothing wrong, because I heard Shucheng's snoring. From what Changye said, I wasn't sure if he was awake. But when I came back from using the toilet, I found... and found..."

At this point, Cao Jinhai's voice became knotted again, and it took him a long time to say with difficulty:

"Then I discovered that Masano was stabbing Shucheng one after another with a knife!"

"It was almost 11 o'clock at that time. It should be very dark in the dormitory. Why could you see it so clearly?"

The middle-aged policeman still asked very detailed questions, not wanting to miss any detail.

"The curtains were not drawn in the dormitory at that time. I saw it through the moonlight, but I couldn't see it clearly at the time. I just saw two figures vaguely. It was only after I pressed the light switch on the wall that I could see clearly."

"Aren't the lights in the dormitory turned off?"

"Our dormitory has 24-hour power supply."

The person speaking this time was Xia Qi. As a student of Yingcai Academy, he knew this very well. Moreover, their dormitory building has a high-end nickname to the public - the city that never sleeps.

After hearing Xia Qi's testimony, Cao Jinhai nodded and affirmed:

"There is no power outage in our dormitory building."

Speaking of which, he added:

"You all know what happened after that. I was so frightened that I didn't realize I called the police until I escaped downstairs."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go back now, but please ensure that your mobile phone can communicate normally in the past few days so that we can contact you. Of course, if you think of anything else during this period, you can also call us in time. I’ve also given you my mobile phone number before.”

The middle-aged policeman stood up from his chair and waved at the monitor above his head. Not long after, a policeman came in and took Cao Jinhai out.

Before going out, Cao Jinhai turned to look at Xia Qi. Xia Qi motioned him to go out first and find him later.

The middle-aged policeman also compiled the records at this time, and said to Xia Qi with an ugly smile:

"There seems to be nothing to say about this case. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. Li Changye killed him. But we will conduct a mental diagnosis on Li Changye next to see if he has mental problems or sleepwalking. some type of."

Although it seems that the matter is very clear, Li Changye has recently suffered from mental problems, so he has been suspicious for a while, thinking that someone wanted to kill him, and then accidentally killed Yang Shucheng.

Everything seems reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, there is still a doubtful point, that is, how could Li Changye have mental problems?

He knew Li Changye very well. In his daily life, he could not be described as optimistic, but typical heartless. They had never seen him worried about anything in the long time they had known each other.

So it was hard for him to believe that someone like this could be mentally ill and kill his roommate with whom he had a close relationship.

"I hope you can treat him well. I will come over tomorrow morning and I will ask him some questions in person."

In the past, Xia Qi wouldn't have dared to think that he was just talking to the police, but now, with his incredible work permit, he did it.

But there was no joy at all.

When we came out of the police station, it was already past 1 a.m., and there was not a single car on the empty road. Cao Jinhai was squatting on the roadside, with his head lowered as if he had lost his soul.

Xia Qi asked himself, if he hadn't had this recent experience and let him witness this bloody tragedy with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to bear it either.

"Why."

With a sad sigh, Xia Qi walked towards Cao Jinhai with a slight stoop.
