Kang County No. 1 High School.
Several huge characters stood amidst a flower-filled display garden.
Around the school gate, many vendors were hawking their wares, selling fruits, snacks, barbecue, skewers, and so on, a lively scene with everything imaginable.
Song Yang greeted the security guard at the school gate and easily entered the campus.
Following the signs, he found Mu Wanqing’s senior year floor. He found the floor’s teacher’s office and casually asked a teacher, who happened to be the politics teacher for both Mu Wanqing and Feng Zhizhi.
After a brief conversation with her, he left the office and headed to the classroom where the two were—Class 2, Senior Year.
The politics teacher originally wanted to accompany Song Yang, but he stopped her.
Arriving at the classroom, the students didn’t even look up at him. With the college entrance examination only a few days away, these diligent students were in no mood to care about anyone else.
Song Yang cleared his throat and said, “Excuse me, is Mu Wanqing here?”

At this moment, only a few people finally looked up at Song Yang, then lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
One person told another, and soon, a girl sitting by the window at the back of the classroom raised her head.
The moment their eyes met, a sentence flashed through Song Yang’s mind like a thunderbolt.
——‘Why is he here?’
‘Went again?’ Song Yang frowned again.
This sudden sentence seemed to be the first thought that appeared in Mu Wanqing’s mind subconsciously.
And he received it.
‘Is this my Detective System?’
Having read so many novels with systems, Song Yang instantly understood a little. Before he could try it out more, Mu Wanqing had already come to him and timidly called out, “Officer!”
Song Yang nodded. The two of them left the classroom and came to the end of the corridor, which was empty and quiet.
As soon as they arrived, she couldn’t help but ask, “Officer, is there any news about Feng Zhizhi?”
Without answering her question, Song Yang asked, “Mu Wanqing, do you have a picture of Feng Zhizhi?”
“Yes!” Mu Wanqing took out her phone, opened her album, and clicked on a group photo of the two, “The one on the left is Feng Zhizhi.”
Her face was chubby, like a full flower bud about to bloom, and below her thick eyebrows were a pair of bright eyes.
She had a small cherry mouth, which seemed to be very good at talking.
She wore a blue or white shirt, sweatpants, sneakers, and liked to wear a watch.
“Mu Wanqing, do you know who Feng Zhizhi’s father is?” Song Yang asked again.
“I don’t know.” Mu Wanqing shook her head. “She never told me about these things, and I didn’t ask.”
“The last time I went to her house, where was it?”
“Tongjia Town.” Mu Wanqing answered every question.
“What are the three characters in Feng Zhizhi’s name?” Song Yang asked again.
Mu Wanqing wrote the three characters representing her name on the notepad he had opened.
After confirming Feng Zhizhi’s name, Song Yang exchanged numbers with Mu Wanqing. He slowly left the school and returned to the Investigation Bureau.
On the way, he received a phone call asking him to quickly return to the Investigation Bureau for a meeting.
He hurried back as quickly as possible. By the time he arrived at the office, everyone was already sitting in their chairs. Without saying a word, he quickly went to his seat and sat down.
At this moment, the sun was setting.
Team Leader Yu, like a pillar of support, sat at the head of the table and said, “Let’s all share what intelligence we’ve gathered.”
Zhao Digang glanced at everyone and took the lead in shaking his head, “I followed the forensic doctor to extract ten sets of fingerprints from the murder weapon, and after comparing them one by one, I found that none of them belonged to the murderer.”
The projector in the conference room was turned on, and along with Zhao Digang’s explanation, there were some supporting evidence behind him.
“None of them? What’s going on?” Wei Zheng Rong frowned. “The murder weapon is indeed that broadsword, which means the murderer’s fingerprints aren’t on it?”
“I’m afraid that’s the case.” Zhao Digang nodded. “There were several sets of footprints left in the room, with matching sizes.”
“Two sets belonged to the person who reported the case, and I visited the others separately and found that they were all students of Professor Chen. At the time of the incident, they were all at their own homes, and their parents could testify, so they were basically ruled out as suspects.”
“As for that Professor Chen who was giving a lecture, I’ve investigated him in detail. Everyone’s statements are consistent, and it is indeed Professor Chen Feng himself.”
“But I feel a kind of indescribable strangeness about him and everything about him.” Zhao Digang frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Everyone waited for him to continue. After a few minutes, the sound of Wei Zheng Rong knocking on the table woke him up. After apologizing, he continued, “I’ve also checked the information on the professor’s daughter, but it’s all some irrelevant stuff.”
The projector displayed Feng Zhizhi’s basic information on the screen, and Song Yang stared intently at the photo on it.
——It was exactly the same as the photo Mu Wanqing had given him.
For a moment, his mind became a little confused, and his heart beat violently. A strong sense of fear spread throughout his body.
Officer Yu noticed his abnormality and asked a question. Song Yang shook his head to signal that he was okay.
“Zhou Ling, what about you? Has the forensic science department made any new discoveries?”
“There are some discoveries.” Zhou Ling opened her notepad. “The forensic doctor found that the professor’s corpse had a strange shape.”
She organized her words before continuing, “His body seemed to have been drained of moisture, and in a very short period of time, it became like a mummy.”
“Even if he had been dead for more than 24 hours, he shouldn’t have dehydrated like that. The only explanation for this strange phenomenon is that something we don’t yet know about happened to the professor’s body.” Zhou Ling continued, “We’ll need to wait for the forensic doctor’s verification for the specific results.”
Nodding, Wei Zheng Rong asked, “Anything else?”
Zhou Ling shook her head.
He continued to broaden the scope of the question, “What about the others? Any clues are welcome.”
Everyone shook their heads.
‘This is how small counties are.’ Song Yang complained inwardly.
He silently raised his hand, “Team Leader Yu, I have an important clue.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on him. The latter took out a USB flash drive and said, “Someone saw a blurry image of the murderer and filmed it.”
Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on him. Song Yang only felt a lot of pressure, but Team Leader Yu helped him break the deadlock by saying, “Let’s watch the video first.”
The USB drive was plugged in, and soon the video that Song Yang had seen before was playing on the projector.
The investigators didn’t speak, and watched with bated breath.
The video ended.
Wei Zheng Rong pondered and said, “Song Yang, where did you get the video? How credible is it?”
“An anonymous guy sent it to me. As for its credibility, because it was sent anonymously and the video is relatively blurry, I don’t think it’s too high. I’ll have to let you seniors deliberate on it.”
Wei Zheng Rong’s words ‘nuisance’, and Jiang Ge’s attitude, all proved that the relationship between the two was not good.
Therefore, Song Yang did not inform them of Jiang Ge’s information.
“Say whatever ideas you have directly.” Wei Zheng Rong looked at everyone. “We’re solving a case, not in kindergarten.”
“I feel that this video is quite credible, but it’s too blurry. We can hand it over to the forensic science department and let them try to restore it to see if they can find anything.”
Zhou Ling said, while thinking.
Zhao Digang then said sharply, “The person in the video is obviously the murderer, and the murder weapon used by the murderer is that broadsword.”
“It seems that our speculation is correct. The murderer should have been wearing gloves or something on his hands, so no fingerprints were left behind.”
“And on his feet.” Another investigator added.
Zhao Digang nodded, “If this video is fake, then it has helped us confirm one thing, and that is that the murderer was once in the dormitory building on the night of the incident.”
“Therefore, we need to check the surveillance video from that day.” Zhao Digang turned his eyes to a clean-looking young man.
The latter replied leisurely, “We have already checked the surveillance videos from the front and back of the building, but we didn’t find any suspicious people.”
