"Date: June 23; Venue: First Floor of Student Activity Center; Event Project: Summer Animation Carnival; Applicant: Animation Lovers Group."

This is a piece of venue usage information recorded by the Logistics Management Office.

He Jiahui closed his eyes and recalled. He remembered that on June 23, the student union also held an event, also on the first floor of the Student Activity Center. The content of the event was to protect the marine ecological environment.

During the previous investigation, the Crime Team had obtained information on recent activities of the Student Union, and due to the investigation of Friends of the Ocean, He Jiahui paid special attention to the activities related to marine protection organized by the Student Union.

"I should have remembered correctly. But how come two activities were held in one place?" He Jiahui immediately found the student union's activity information.

“On June 23, on the first floor of the Activity Student Center, the Student Union held a photo exhibition on protecting the marine ecological environment, and photos of the scene were also retained.”

He Jiahui picked up the on-site photos taken by the student union, and there was no trace of the animation carnival.

"In addition to records, the student union's activity materials also include on-site photos, pictures and the truth. It should be the student union that held the event at the student activity center on June 23.

However, the information in the property management office records the animation carnival. It seems that the information in the property management office was misremembered. I just don’t know whether it was a moment of carelessness or a deliberate misremembering!"

When solving a case, no detail can be missed. The two records of the same thing are different, which is enough to arouse He Jiahui's suspicion.

He Jiahui immediately began to compare the records of other activities to see if there were any other activities and if there were any inconsistencies in the records.

As a result, in the past three months, only the event on June 23 had different records between the Property Management Office and the Student Union.

He Jiahui immediately found Ma Jun.

"Sir Ma, look at this, the record on June 23." He Jiahui handed the two records to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun took the two records, looked at them, and said, "The record from the Property Management Office says about the Cartoon Carnival, and the record from the Student Union says about the Ocean Protection Photo Exhibition. Why are the records on both sides inconsistent? Did one of them remember it wrong?"

"

"The property management office made a mistake in recording the photos of the student union activities." He Jiahui paused and then said, "I checked the records of the property management office and the student union in the past three months, and this is the only one that is different."

Ma Jun also knew that he could not miss any details when solving a case. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Let's go to the Chinese University again and ask clearly!"

…

He Jiahui and Ma Jun went to the property management office of the Chinese University again and found Teacher Wang.

He Jiahui directly took out the record from the Property Management Office, placed it in front of Teacher Wang, and asked: "Teacher Wang, please look here. This record of yours is inconsistent with the actual situation."

Teacher Wang took the record form and glanced at it: "June 23, first floor of the Student Activity Center, animation carnival. Is there anything wrong with this record?"

"We have investigated and found that on June 23, the student union was holding activities on the first floor of the Student Activity Center." He Jiahui replied.

"An animation carnival organized by the student union?" Teacher Wang obviously misunderstood.

He Jiahui explained directly: "What I mean is that on the first floor of the Student Activity Center on June 23, the student union was holding another event, not the animation carnival held by the animation enthusiast group as recorded here."

"There is such a thing! Did we remember it wrong?" Teacher Wang frowned and began to recall. He thought for a long time and seemed to be unable to think of anything related, so he asked: "Sir, the student union was held that day.

What activity is it?”

He Jiahui reminded: "The student union is holding a photo exhibition of protecting the marine environment."

"Photo exhibition of protecting the ocean..." Teacher Wang pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "I remembered it! You two sirs, this is what happened.

I have told you before that if a student group wants to hold an event, it needs to apply for an event venue in advance. For the event on June 23, a group of animation enthusiasts originally applied for the first floor of the Student Activity Center as the event venue.

.

But on June 22, the day before the event, someone from the student union suddenly came to the door and said that they needed to use the first floor of the student activity center to hold an event to protect the marine environment.

Since the first floor of the Student Activity Center has been allocated to the animation carnival, the student president directly approached Director Cai Zhixiang of our Property Management Office, hoping that he could grant the first floor of the Student Activity Center to the Student Union."

"Is the student union president you are talking about Chen Zishuo?" He Jiahui asked.

"Yes, that's him. I remember that the vice president of the student union named Fang was also here." Teacher Wang replied.

"What happens after that?" He Jiahui continued to ask.

"Director Cai Zhixiang believed that activities to protect the marine ecological environment were more meaningful than the animation carnival, so he made a temporary decision to hand over the right to use the first floor of the Student Activity Center on June 23 to the Student Union.

Since the event was only temporarily decided the day before, we forgot to modify the content in the record, so in our record, it still says that the animation carnival will be held." Teacher Wang answered.

After listening to Teacher Wang's words, He Jiahui and Ma Jun looked at each other. It seemed that the intersection point of the four deceased people in front was finally found!

He Jiahui continued to ask: "The first floor of the student activity center was originally used to hold an animation carnival for the animation enthusiast group, but now it is given to the student union, so what should we do with the animation carnival?"

"Either postpone it or cancel it!" Teacher Wang continued to explain: "We have 20,000 students, and the school's venue usage has always been relatively tight. If we don't apply in advance, there is really no suitable place to hold the animation carnival.

.”

"I have seen the venue application status in the past three months. This animation enthusiast group has not applied for any more venues, and there is no activity record of the Animation Carnival." He Jiahui said.

Teacher Wang continued to explain: "Maybe it's because the time is not right! Fortunately, at the end of June, after entering July, the activities of various student organizations will be greatly reduced.

Because we are about to face the end of the semester and everyone has to take exams, so we have to focus more on studying. At this time, it is necessary to reduce various activities. Even if we hold activities, not many people will participate.

After the exams are over, the school will go on summer vacation again, and many students will go home, so there is no need to hold activities anymore. I guess it is for this reason that the animation interest group did not apply for another venue."

He Jiahui said: "The day before the event, Director Cai Zhixiang gave the venue where the animation carnival was originally held to the student union. I think this is quite unfair to the animation enthusiast group."

Teacher Wang sighed helplessly and continued: "Actually, I also feel that this matter is a bit unfair to the Animation Carnival. After all, they applied for the venue first, and we approved it, and then giving the venue to others is a breach of contract by us.

However, our space is indeed limited, so our consistent principle is to invest limited resources into more meaningful things.

Organizing activities to protect the marine environment can enhance students' environmental awareness and attract positive media reports, which is also good for the reputation of our university.

If we hold an animation carnival, that is, fans gather together to take photos of each other, it is like a party, and nothing is left after the fun is over. This is definitely not as fulfilling as holding an environmental protection event.

In this regard, we must make a better choice, so we can only sacrifice the Animation Carnival."

He Jiahui generally understood that holding environmental protection activities would attract media reports and bring a better reputation to the Chinese University.

If an animation carnival is held, even if it is reported by the media, the public opinion will definitely not be as positive as that of environmental protection activities.

Cai Zhixiang, director of the Property Management Office, probably decided to grant the activity venue to the student union for this reason.

Or maybe the student union used this reason to persuade Cai Zhixiang.

He Jiahui then asked: "You granted the venue to the student union. Didn't that animation enthusiast group have any objections?"

"Of course they object, but how can they stretch their arms beyond their thighs? The authority to approve the use of all properties in the school is under the control of our Property Management Office. Whoever we grant permission for use will be granted it, and it is useless for them to object!"

Teacher Wang showed a natural expression, probably because he had done this kind of thing frequently, and then he even continued to say in a somewhat showy manner:

"I remember that there was someone in the animation enthusiast group who came to argue with Director Cai Zhixiang, saying that we violated the spirit of the contract and so on, and we were still reciting the legal provisions!"

"Memorizing legal provisions? That must be from the law school!" He Jiahui asked.

"He is from the law school. But this is not a court. What's the use of being eloquent? He really thinks he is a barrister!" Teacher Wang said.

"Is this student male or female? What is his name? Do you still have any impression?" He Jiahui asked again.

"He's a male, what's his name? I can't remember clearly. If I see him again, I'll definitely remember him. There are so many students in our school, how can I remember so many of them!" Teacher Wang said.

"Is your name Yang Lixin?" He Jiahui asked immediately.

"Yang Lixin." Teacher Wang recalled it carefully, and then nodded: "Yes, that's the name!"

Yang Lixin was the person who asked Zhang Xingjie to help him repair his computer. He was also one of the eight suspects who appeared at the crime scene of the third deceased Liu Baorui.

He Jiahui and Ma Jun looked at each other. Now that the case has been investigated, a familiar name appears again. This may be a new breakthrough point.

…

After leaving the property management office, Ma Jun asked directly: "How did you think of Yang Lixin?"

He Jiahui said: "You still remember when we recorded Zhang Xingjie's confession, he said that Yang Lixin liked animation very much. When they chatted in the building where the crime occurred, they also talked about animation.

Later, when we recorded a statement for Yang Lixin, he also confirmed this and recommended Naruto to you. Most people are somewhat nervous when recording a statement, and they usually answer whatever the police ask.

I remember that Yang Lixin was a little nervous at the time, but he still had time to recommend Naruto to you. This shows that he loves anime very much, and this love can even make him ignore the nervousness in his heart!

Since Yang Lixin loves animation so much, it is normal for him to come to the property management office to discuss the matter after the animation carnival venue was given to the student union.

In addition, Teacher Wang mentioned that the person who came to the theory was from the law school, which made me think of Yang Lixin immediately."

"Do you think there will be any problems with this Yang Lixin? He also appeared in the building where Liu Baorui died. Could he be Zhang Xingjie's accomplice?" Ma Jun asked.

He Jiahui thought for a while and said: "When the confession was taken, Zhang Xingjie said that he left the building at 4:30 pm. But Yang Lixin said that Zhang Xingjie left at 4 pm, and later said that he did not check his watch.

Maybe I remembered it wrong.

If the two were accomplices and conspired to commit murder, they would have made a good confession, especially on such important information as the time. How could they get it wrong? So I think the possibility of the two being an accomplice is not high."

Ma Jun nodded in agreement.

Ho Jiahui continued: "The first three deceased, Chen Zishuo, Fang Moxuan, and Liu Baorui, were members of the student union, the fourth deceased, Cai Zhixiang, was the director of the Property Management Office, and Yang Lixin was a member of the animation enthusiasts group.

Five seemingly unrelated people have a common intersection, which is the event on June 23. Based on this intersection, we should also check out this Yang Lixin!"

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Ma Jun brought Yang Lixin's information.

"Yang Lixin, 24 years old, is currently studying for a master's degree in law at the Chinese University. His grades are very good, and his tutor also likes him very much. It is said that he has a good chance of entering a big law firm in the future, and may even become a barrister."

Ma Jun took the information and continued: "Yang Lixin does not have a girlfriend. His social circle is very normal, and they are basically students from the Chinese University.

In addition, he prefers anime, especially Naruto. There are several Naruto figures in the photos he posted on social media."

"What about the family situation?" He Jiahui asked.

"Yang Lixin's family members include his father, mother, and a younger brother who is studying in college. His younger brother is currently studying in the UK." Ma Jun continued to introduce.

"With two sons, one is a graduate student at the Chinese University and the other is sent to the UK. Yang Lixin's family conditions are quite good!" He Jiahui said.

"Yang Lixin's father is a veterinarian and opened a pet clinic. His financial income is not bad. He also made a lot of money from real estate speculation in the past two years. Now, in addition to his own house, he also has two properties to collect rent." Ma.

Jun said.

In a place like Xiangjiang where land is at a premium, having three houses, one for self-occupation and two for rent, can be considered a wealthy class.

He Jiahui frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, He Jiahui took out his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to make a call. There's something I want to confirm!"

About five minutes later, He Jiahui returned to the room and said, "My guess is indeed correct. The real culprit in the serial murders is most likely Yang Lixin!"
