“By comparing the video and photos, we found that all the men in the video and photos who were related to Su Zhen were in dormitory 4508, except for Xu Zhao. Because it is a private area, they are usually dressed, so it would be impossible to find them without careful inspection.”

Therefore, Zhou Jiayang lied that day.

The other party probably didn't expect that he would be murdered by the killer shortly after lying.

Seeing Tan Ying's eyes blazing with fury, Zhao Kehan ​​sighed. He actually understood the couple's actions to some extent, since Su Zhen had committed suicide in front of everyone.

If it's just about exposing what the 4508 students did, at most they'll be sent to jail for a few years.

How could Tan Ying and her husband, as parents, possibly accept this? They probably wished they could tear them to pieces to vent their anger.

So they decided to kill them with their own hands.

He had encountered many cases like this before, but few people were as arrogant, bold, and meticulous as these two, who almost wiped out everyone in 4508.

He believed that actions leave traces, and he didn't think there was such a thing as a perfect crime. If a case wasn't solved, it must be because they hadn't done a good enough job, or because he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Looking back, there are actually quite a few flaws.

The reason we were misled for so long was that the entire 4508 group concealed the crimes they committed against Su Zhen; even Jiang Yizhou's death didn't raise suspicion of murder. It wasn't until Liang Cheng was bound and thrown from a building—such an obvious revelation—that it was difficult not to suspect someone connected to Su Zhen.

Tan Ying's pupils contracted sharply, then she quickly laughed: "Yes, that's not all, Officer Zhao, they deserve to die, they all deserve to die."

"Officer Zhao, don't they deserve to die?" Tan Ying asked with a smile, but her smile was tinged with tears. "My poor girl was ruined by them. Do you know how capable she is? Not only did she stop asking for money from home after starting university, but she also frequently sent money home. Everyone says we raised her well, that she's smart and has a bright future. She just has a bad habit—she likes to spend money recklessly, buying this and that, mostly useless things. Officer Zhao, do you know how outstanding she is?"

"Do you know how well-behaved she is? Lots of people like her."

"Besides her bad habit of spending money recklessly, she's also a bit blindly kind. I used to think she would become a police officer like Officer Zhao, but I didn't expect her to become a lawyer. Actually, it's good. Being a lawyer is lucrative and not too dangerous. Isn't that great?"

"But she died. She didn't show any signs of distress before she died, so we don't believe she would commit suicide."

"How could someone so wonderful, so lively and cheerful, commit suicide?"

Zhao Kehan ​​remained silent, the sharpness in his eyes gone.

Having conducted a thorough investigation into Su Zhen, he certainly knew how outstanding this nineteen-year-old girl was.

It's safe to say that without this unexpected event, becoming a top lawyer would have been a certainty.

She was outstanding, had a great personality, and was a righteous and kind-hearted person. She didn't seem like the type to commit suicide, but she did jump off a building in full view of everyone.

He was also in charge of that case. He watched the video of Su Zhen jumping off the building repeatedly, but he still didn't think she was the kind of person who would jump off a building if she couldn't get over something.

But most of the people connected to Su Zhen's death are dead, so it's probably difficult to find the answer from there.

As for Xu Zhao, who was still alive, he didn't think he would tell the police the whole truth. "What a pity, we missed one." Tan Ying wiped away her tears, her expression resentful. "Even if he wasn't in the video or pictures, he was still someone who knew, someone who witnessed it. What good could someone from the same dormitory be? That's why we put him last."

"They harmed my daughter, so why are they living well?" Tan Ying laughed out loud. "Just going to jail is too lenient on them."

"Tell me about how you committed the crime," Zhao Kehan ​​asked after Tan Ying calmed down.

He didn't say anything about her not being able to kill, nor did he want to. He was a policeman, and his purpose was to find the truth and reconstruct the facts, even though sometimes the results were tragic and regrettable, he still had to do it.

"Just as Officer Zhao predicted, I used Sun Ling. I deliberately made it a habit to argue with her every time, timing it so she wouldn't go to someone else in the middle. On the night Jiang Yizhou died, I went out the window first and used the blind spot of the surveillance cameras to go to the boys' dormitory. With my husband Su Youcheng's help, I knew when he would return to the dormitory. It was easy to lure him out, since he wouldn't think someone would kill him."

"So, I messaged him directly, posing as Su Zhen's mother, saying I wanted to talk to him..."

“We recovered the data from Jiang Yizhou’s phone, and we also checked your phone before, but we didn’t find that text message.” Zhao Kehan ​​frowned, but he could tell that Tan Ying wasn’t lying about this.

To everyone's surprise, Tan Ying laughed: "Officer Zhao, do you believe in ghosts?"

This puzzled Zhao Kehan ​​even more. But after hearing such words so many times, he couldn't help but take it more seriously. This time, he didn't try to persuade people against feudal superstition as he usually did.

Instead, he asked, "Have you seen this before?"

I remember that male classmate named An Shuo said something similar.

An Shuo, the name flashed through Zhao Kehan's mind. He had investigated An Shuo, but he really had no motive or time to commit the crime. Even the fact that An Shuo appeared next to Jiang Yizhou only after Su Zhen's death seemed very strange.

However, those previous cases were indeed unrelated to An Shuo.

Coming to his senses, he stared intently at Tan Ying, waiting for her to continue.

"Officer Zhao, there really are ghosts in this world."

“Maybe the missing messages were made by ghosts?” Tan Ying said blankly. “I wonder if my brat will become a ghost. If she could, that would be great. She’s so powerful, she would be powerful as a ghost too. Then no one would dare to bully her.”

Seeing Tan Ying's erratic behavior, Zhao Kehan's previous caution vanished. Perhaps it was because he had avenged his great enemy that his mother's spirit was about to give out.

Zhao Kehan ​​went to Su Youcheng's side, and soon, based on the evidence they had, they overturned the alibis of Liang Cheng and Zhou Jiayang at the time of their deaths. Su Youcheng had no way to refute it, and like Tan Ying, he cursed the little beast 4508 as deserving to die.

He used his identity as a security guard and his uniform to deceive Liang Chengyang, and then attacked him in the dark when he was alone, taking him to the rooftop.

Logically, Zhou Jiayang, already suspicious of Su Zhen's parents and knowing Su Youcheng, wouldn't easily believe him. However, Su Youcheng confessed that he had used his colleague to lure Su Zhen to a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, knock him unconscious, and take him to the rooftop. Indeed, Su Youcheng's clothing fibers were extracted from Zhou Jiayang's cufflinks.

When the surveillance footage of the teachers' dormitory building was being investigated, Zhou Jiayang came out of Lu Miao's dormitory, and that's when the incident happened.

After Lu Miao explained that he was on his way back from class and passed by the principal's dormitory, he heard Zhou Jiayang shouting inside, so he knocked on the door to ask what was wrong. Zhou Jiayang opened the door and said he was very scared and asked if he could stay with him for a while. He stayed for a short time, then, apparently having seen some news, hurriedly left.
