Chapter 10: Lingering Lake and Wandering (2)

  Lingqiu Lake and Saunter (2)

  When Xia Zhu went to find the victim's female classmate, Lin Yuan was quietly standing on one side. He didn't play with his phone or speak much, he just stood quietly on one side, like countless boys who had come to pick up girls, quiet as a white birch tree.

  Sometimes Xia Zhu felt that if Lin Yuanli was not so sarcastic and arrogant in his daily life, he might actually be a good romantic partner.

  Just thinking of his emotional intelligence, and then thinking of this person's usual appearance, Xia Zhu lost her smile... forget it.

  If someone ever fell in love with Lin Yuanlie, Xia Zhu would really think it was a miracle.

  Lin Yuan was completely unaware of this, he just stood still beside Xia Zhu, watching Xia Zhu and those students chatting.

  Lin Yuanxi couldn't imagine that someone would get along so well with a stranger, let alone in an absolutely strange place. He just looked at Xia Zhu quietly, Xia Zhu smiled, Xia Zhu was surprised, and then turned around worriedly.

  "The victim's name is Yan Moqiu, usually a very well-behaved girl. However, not long after entering school, she wasn't familiar with everyone yet. It was said that she wouldn't normally go to quiet places, it doesn't make sense that this time she suddenly went so far," Xia Zhu emphasized: "Also, this girl has a boyfriend, usually always together with her boyfriend, but on this day, for some reason, she acted alone..."

  "Go find her boyfriend."

  "Hmm," Xia Zhu smiled slightly, apparently on the same page: "I got her number, and it's said that her boyfriend doesn't usually live in school."

  "If I were that guy, I would never let my girlfriend go to the lake alone. It doesn't fit the normal pattern of a romantic relationship. Did they have a fight?" Lin Yuanbo furrowed his brow and analyzed.

  Xia Zhu nodded: "That's right, it is said that on that night when returning to the dormitory, Yan Moqiu had been crying all along."

  "This boy is likely to know something, hasn't the police looked for him?" Lin Yuanbo was somewhat puzzled.

  Zou Mianyuan has always been a thread emperor and cannot easily let go of any thread.

  "Officer Zou has been here, but I heard from their classmates that the boy has mild schizophrenia. I just asked Officer Zou, and he meant to have you, a professional, take a look." Xia Zhu was now speaking to Lin Yuanbo in a way that catered to his interests, but unexpectedly, Lin Yuanbo furrowed his brow.

  "Oh?" Lin Yuanxi looked at Xia Zhu, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes: "When did you call Zou Muyuan?"

  "No call," Xia Zhu smiled and showed Lin Yuanxi her phone screen: "Yeah, sent a text message."

  Lin had been hesitating for a long time, but in the end he still didn't bring out the tyrannical terms. His original intention was to say: "Sending text messages must go through my approval..." But thinking about it, it seemed too strict after all.

  So Lin Yuanqi changed his words:

  "I don't want you to have too much contact with other officials."

  His tone was icy cold, but to Xia Zhu's ears, it became a full-blown tantrum. Xia Zhu was taken aback for a moment and almost burst out laughing: "Oh, I get it."

  She made an OK gesture, and Lin Yuan only spared her after that. He hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying: "Alright, if it's really necessary for work, I can make this call."

  "I just wanted to ask... " Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuan's unpleasant face and had no choice but to give up: "I'll ask for your advice from now on."

  "Compared with Zou Mianyuan, I think I'm much better." Lin Yuanye said.

  Such a ridiculous scene almost made Xia Zhu laugh out loud, but she could only hold back her smile and nod: "Understood, I'll ask you from now on."

  "So... Officer Lin," Xia Zhu said with a smile: "Can we go to our victim's boyfriend now?"

  Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction with the result of the negotiation: "What's his name?"

  "His name is Mu Lin Hao, he lives off-campus, um, just behind the X dorm building."

  "Is anyone willing to live in this place?" Lin Yuanxi looked at the remote school building with some surprise: "Let's go."

  Mulinhao's place is considered the family area of this vocational school, it's just that there aren't many people. It's precisely because of this that Lin Yuanxi can't find a reason for people to go out and live elsewhere. The place was already secluded, now going out is simply like a horror movie scene.

  "Is it just here?" Lin Yuan raised his head and looked up, but didn't think this place was much better than the school campus.

  Xia Zhuo took a glance at the number and nodded: "I'll give him a call."

  "Wait," Lin Yuanjie stretched out his hand to stop him: "If you hit him, he'll run away."

  "Uh-huh, I see."

  Two people trudged up the stairs, 7th floor was the top, with some old spider webs on the ceiling, this building seemed to have been around for a while too, exuding an air of desolation and oppression.

  Xia Zhu thought, perhaps it was just her own imagination.

  They stood in front of Mu Lin's door. Xia Zhu thought of going forward to knock on the door, but was stopped by Lin Yuanxi: "I'll do it."

  "Oh, thank you."

  Suddenly being so good and considerate to myself, I'm really not used to it.

  Lin Yuanxi looked at the nameplate and suddenly asked: "Are you sure he lives here?"

  "Hmm, what did their classmates say...?" Xia Zhu also followed suit, but couldn't make out anything.

  Lin Yuan furrowed his brow and said, "It doesn't seem like something he would do."

  Xia Zhu endured for half a day, and the door was spotless with nothing hanging on it, as if someone had wiped it clean. The foot pedal below was also extremely clean, but there were several new scratches on the lock, which seemed to be made by a key. Hmm, that's all the clues... Xia Zhu looked up at the sky in silence, and still decided to wait until she got back to ask Lin Yuan about this person's character, and how he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, it was simply frustrating.

  Lin Yuanji hid Xia Zhu's entire body behind him and gently knocked on the door three times.

  Again three down.

  The door opened, revealing a young man who was obviously not fully awake. He looked dazed and stared at the two of them for a while before asking, "Oh, are you police?"

  Neither of them wore police uniforms, but there was no reason why this person could see it at a glance.

  Lin Yuan calmly looked at him: "Mu Lin Hao?"

  "Ah, it's me," Mu Lin Hao pushed the door wide open: "Please come in."

  His gaze swept over the two of them with a hint of insolence, circling back and forth before finally settling on Xia Zhu, raising an eyebrow: "Nowadays, police officers are so beautiful?"

  Lin Yuan nodded slightly, calmly and quietly blocking Mu Lin Hao's gaze: "That's right."

  Summer Bamboo: ……

  Mu Lin Hao wasn't stupid either, seeing this he couldn't help but laugh: "You two are quite interesting."

  Xia Zhu: ……We really don't have anything to do with each other, so stop it.

  "Yan Moqiu is gone, I'm more heartbroken than anyone else. You two keep coming over, but I really don't have any leads to provide." Mu Linhao poured a cup of water for the pair.

  Xia Zhu took the opportunity to look at Mu Lin Hao's home, his small living room was decorated very warmly, not like a man's home, clean and simple style, neat and tidy.

  Summer bamboo couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy when she thought about the clean and tidy footprints at the door. Nowadays, men are all so neat and tidy, how can girls live?

  Lin Yuanxiao smiled and leaned forward with his hands on his knees, saying lazily, "Nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you."

  Mu Lin Hao was apparently somewhat unexpected. He glanced at Xia Zhu, then looked again at Lin Yuanxi: "Oh, actually I'd rather chat with this police sister, you see..."

  "Oh?" Lin Yuan sneered, his smile fake. "In that case, I'll apply to have the major crimes unit take you in for questioning as a person of interest. After all, you don't have an alibi at the moment."

  Mu Lin Hao looked at Lin Yuan for a long time, his expression changing several times, and said vaguely: "I remember saying before that there was no specific time of death."

  Lin Yuan quietly looked at him.

  Then Mu Lin suddenly started scratching his hair: "When," his nasal tone was very heavy, and he looked very violent: "You tell me, when?!"

  Lin Yuanxiao smiled: "You look very anxious."

  "That's my girlfriend!" Mu Lin Hao suddenly shouted.

  "Where were you around 10:14 pm on October 28th last year?" Lin Yuanbo asked.

  "I... I was studying in classroom A," Mu Lin Hao said in a low voice: "At that time, the exam was approaching, and I was very anxious."

  Lin Yuanxu looked at him for a long time and finally nodded slightly with a smile: "A normal person would think about it, why do you remember so clearly?"

  "Because at that time we had exams, everyone was very anxious..." Mu Linhao explained.

  "No," Xia Zhu's expression was solemn, with a hint of anger: "At that time, Building A was under construction, you couldn't have been studying inside. Mu Lin Hao, your attempt to shake off suspicion is too deliberate, so please tell us... what exactly happened between you and Yan Mo Qiu?"
