[Chapter 24-Blooded Maple Leaf-05]

The one who screamed was Ying Xiaoya’s deskmate Yi Ru.

Ying Xiaoya fell from the roof and happened to fall at her feet.

When the security guard arrived, Yi Ru was trembling all over. The girl's eyes were full of fear, and tears that could not be controlled kept pouring out like a twisted faucet.

The four security guards were stunned for a moment. The security captain in the head finally reacted and immediately said: "You two protect the scene, don't let others get close. I'll go find the principal. Xiao Liu, call the police quickly!"

The security guard named "Xiao Liu" hurriedly called the police.

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

There is actually a "calling the police" link? If it were the real world, Yu Hanjiang would go to the scene to investigate directly with his police officer's certificate. Unfortunately, it is now a secret room world. He cannot show up and has to hide from the security guard.

Xiao Lou was also confused when he heard this, looked at Yu Hanjiang and asked softly: "Call the police? Are there any police in the secret room world?"

Yu Hanjiang said seriously: "After a person died in the school, the normal way to deal with it is to call the police as soon as possible. The development of this plot is reasonable. However, it is not clear whether the police in Card World will help us solve puzzles or deliberately create obstacles for us."

Xiao Lou speculated: "It should help us, right? After all, this is the C-level difficult secret room. If even the police mislead us, if you encounter a challenger who can't reason, you will not be able to get out of this secret room at all."

"It makes sense." Yu Hanjiang was silent for a few seconds, looked up at the rooftop, and whispered in Xiaolou's ear: "Before the police come to the school, I will check the rooftop on the rooftop to see if there are any clues. Professor Xiao, you stay here, and put on the invisible cloak later to check the cause of Ying Xiaoya's death. You are an expert in this regard."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Okay."

Yu Hanjiang reminded: "The effect of the invisible cloak is only 30 minutes. Pay attention to the time and be careful not to be discovered by the security guard."

Xiao Lou: "I understand, you should be careful too."

The two looked at each other and acted separately in tacit understanding.

Yu Hanjiang quickly flashed into the teaching building of the third grade of high school, avoided the surveillance, climbed up to the fourth floor, then went through the air corridor to Xingzhi Building, and climbed along the stairs to the rooftop on the seventh floor.

Ying Xiaoya fell from the building directly below Xingzhi Building. Since the ground here is full of hard cement, and the floor is as high as seven floors, as long as her head hits the ground, it will be a death ending.

Yu Hanjiang climbed to the seventh floor - he saw that the door leading to the rooftop was open.

He remembered that when he checked the layout of Xingzhilou with Xiaolou yesterday, the door was locked. In order to prevent students from climbing up to the rooftop, the teacher climbed up to the rooftop and had an accident. The door to the rooftop was usually locked - but now the door is open, and someone obviously opened it on purpose.

Ying Xiaoya, a student, could not have the key to the door leading to the rooftop.

The person who opens the door is definitely inseparable from this case.

Yu Hanjiang quickly walked to the rooftop.

It rained yesterday, and the ground on the rooftop was still a little wet. Therefore, when stepping on the wetland, there would be clear and distinct footprints. At this time, a string of footprints were left on the rooftop. The feet of about 37 yards were the same size as Ying Xiaoya's feet, and their steps were a little messy, as if they were stumbled and ran over in a hurry.

The footprints disappeared at the fence and jumped from here, which happened to be where Ying Xiaoya's body was.

On the surface, these footprints belonged to Ying Xiaoya alone, and there was no trace of the existence of a second person on the scene.

However, footprints are not the only criterion for judgment - Yu Hanjiang often goes to the crime scene to investigate, and footprints are too easy to forge. For example, someone wears shoes the same size as Ying Xiaoya, or directly tiptoe and step on the footprints left by Ying Xiaoya, causing overlapping marks - both situations will create the illusion that "there are only Ying Xiaoya's footprints on the scene."

The wet rooftop is not like snow, and the depth of footprints cannot be determined. Therefore, even if there are only one footprint on the scene, the possibility of a second person being there cannot be completely ruled out.

Yu Hanjiang looked carefully at Ying Xiaoya where she jumped off the building - the remaining pieces of clothing, which were consistent with the scarf on Ying Xiaoya's neck.

At this moment, a sudden knock on the door came from the downstairs, followed by a slightly panicked voice from the security captain: "School, principal, a student from Grade 3 (3) has jumped off the building!"

"What?!" The principal and the two vice principals were discussing the matter. When they heard this, they immediately turned around and went downstairs with the security guard. The principal said as he walked: "School Chen, please inform all the class teachers immediately and let all the students stay in the classroom after class and don't come out first! School Liu called all the teachers from the Student Affairs Office and the teachers in Class 3 (3) to the scene!"

A vice principal asked: "Have you called the police?"

The security guard said: "The police have been called and the police arrived soon."

The hurried footsteps of the group gradually faded away.

Yu Hanjiang quickly checked the rooftop, came to the fourth floor from the surveillance corner, and then returned to Chongwen Building, the senior high school student, through the air corridor, and looked down.

The aerial corridor where he is located has a good view. You can see the basketball court in the back and you can clearly see the situation downstairs in front.

At this time, the students in Class 3 (3) of Senior High School were still standing in the basketball court. They all heard screams, but didn't know what was going on, and looked curiously in the direction where the sound came.

The physical education teacher realized something was wrong and asked Yu Hui to look at the students. He walked around the corner to check the situation and found that a girl was lying in a pool of blood while the security guards surrounded him. The physical education teacher's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Ying Xiaoya, he remembers this girl.

A student died while he was in class and he could not escape his guilt!

The physical education teacher clenched his fists nervously and asked the security guard what was going on. At this time, the school leader rushed over with great strides. The head teacher and the teacher of the senior high school (3) class also received news.

Seeing this bloody scene, the school leaders' faces were as dark as the bottom of the pot.

The head teacher's originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy. He turned his head and stared at the physical education teacher and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Isn't this class for Teacher Qin's chemistry class?"

The physical education teacher was full of anxiety and murmured: "Teacher Qin called me in the morning and said that her father was going to the hospital for examination. She wanted to take leave to accompany her father to the hospital. She would not come to school today. I changed the chemistry class and the physical education class tomorrow afternoon. I changed the class with her..."

The vice principal responsible for attendance next to him said, "Teacher Qin did take a leave today."

The principal frowned: "It doesn't matter if you change classes with people, but you should take responsibility! Some students jumped off the building in your physical education class? How did you teach?!"

The physical education teacher looked pale and explained in a low voice: "I want to organize the boys in the class to play a blue ball game... I didn't expect that if I answered a call temporarily, this would happen."

The principal roared: "Assing the phone during class time, I don't care about the students. This is your dereliction of duty!! If something serious happens, I can't protect you, so you can just wait for punishment!"

Although the principal's roar was lowered, Xiaolou, who was hiding nearby, could hear it clearly.

The physical education teacher was scolded by the head, but could not refute it, and he lowered his head in frustration.

At this moment, the bell for the fourth session rang.

The hungry students usually rushed out of the teaching building to feed after class. However, today, a murder occurred in the school, and a body was lying under the office building. At this location, as long as you walk out of the teaching building, all students can see it...

Fortunately, the principal responded quickly enough and notified the class teacher to let the students stay in the classroom and not come out.

The students in other classes felt inexplicable and sent out crazily notes in private: "Is the class teacher crazy when I told us to do homework at noon?" "It seems that the other classes are also in the classroom, and the corridor is so quiet!" "That's right, someone screamed downstairs just now. Did you hear it?" "I heard it, and screamed loudly!" "What's the matter?"

All classes were not over and the students left in the classroom were panicked.

Yu Hanjiang observed the overall situation in the aerial corridor on the fourth floor, and Xiaolou hid at the corner and listened to the movements at the scene.

Witness Yi Ru's face was as pale as paper, and she kept squatting beside her and trembling. The head teacher whispered to comfort her.

The police arrived soon.

In order to avoid affecting campus order, the police car driving into the school did not honk the whistle.

There were six people coming - four policemen, a forensic doctor and assistant.

The lead criminal police captain was around forty years old and looked experienced. He simply asked the police to surround the scene with a cordon and walked over to find the principal, the head teacher and the witness to learn about the situation of the deceased.

Others also began to quickly investigate the scene, while the forensic doctor put on tools and gloves to check the body directly.

Xiao Lou also took action.

He put on his invisible cloak and entered the scene with the forensic doctor.

The effect of using the invisible cloak is to "turn into a transparent person". Not only can people in the card world not see Xiaolou, but Yu Hanjiang cannot see Xiaolou - but he knew that Xiaolou would definitely make the most professional judgment based on Xiaoya's cause of death, and heard the police's inquiries about everyone at the scene clearly.

Yu Hanjiang handed the scene to Xiao Lou with confidence, and then turned back to the classroom of Class 3 (3) of high school. He wanted to see if there was any new evidence in the class.

Walking to Ying Xiaoya's seat, Yu Hanjiang's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Suicide Letter"

Dear parents, teachers and classmates, I'm sorry, I've let you down. I'm leaving. I'm nostalgic for this world. Let my life end at the age of eighteen - Ying Xiaoya.

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

The handwriting on the suicide note is consistent with the handwriting on Ying Xiaoya’s homework book.

The girl's handwriting is timeless and upright, and her suicide note is written in strokes, as if she has been carefully considered.

Yu Hanjiang frowned, always feeling something was wrong with these simple two lines of words.

At this moment, he heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind. He looked into the distance through the window of the back door. Two policemen went upstairs to search for evidence. Yu Hanjiang immediately flashed into the bathroom opposite the classroom. When the police walked into the classroom, he came out of the bathroom with a calm expression, left here without looking sideways, and returned to the air corridor.

Downstairs, the forensic doctor and assistant were still examining the body. After a brief investigation, he said to the criminal police captain: "A preliminary judgment was that the deceased's skull was broken and there were multiple bleeding in the skull. The specific cause of death must be taken back for examination."

The criminal police nodded and walked over to ask Yi Ru: "Are you an eyewitness?"

Under the comfort of the head teacher, Yi Ru's emotions had stabilized and nodded stiffly: "Yes."

The criminal policeman said: "Tell me in detail what the deceased has to do with you, and what were you doing at that time?"

Yi Ru's eyes were dull and her lips were trembling. She said intermittently: "Xiaoya, Xiaoya is my best friend... At that time, the boys were playing basketball, and she didn't like watching football games, so we took advantage of the chaos to go back to the class..."

"Today is her 18th birthday. I prepared a birthday gift for her. I originally wanted to give it to her directly... But after entering the classroom, Xiaoya suddenly said that she didn't eat breakfast and was very hungry, so she asked me to buy food. I happened to be hungry, so I went downstairs to buy two packs of potato chips... On the way back, I saw her... she fell from the roof of the building..."

When Yi Ru said this, she seemed to recall the bloody scene and covered her face with her hands and started crying in a collapse.

The police winked at the colleague next to him and whispered: "Go to the convenience store to ask if she had bought potato chips just now." His eyes swept across the audience and asked: "Who is the head teacher of Class 3? Is there anything abnormal about Ying Xiaoya these days?"

The head teacher came over and said, "Xiaoya has always been distracted during class. She was the last in the monthly exam last week."

The policeman said: "Are all the teachers in Class 3 here?"

The class teacher: "The chemistry teacher asked for leave today and didn't come to school, everyone else is here."

The police asked: "Have you ever verbally insulted or corporal punishment to the deceased?"

The English teacher said stiffly: "I said a few words to her and punished her for a class..."

The physics teacher said with a blank face: "I also said to her, she did too poorly in the exam and was wrong in the physics questions... But I promised not to hit her, nor did I say it seriously. Just... let her work hard next time. This student is usually very serious, and I think she is performing abnormally."
