Chapter 28 - – Bloody Maple Leaf: New Discovery (2/2)
Xiao Lou was also a teacher. From the perspective of a peer, this Teacher Qin belonged to the first-cla.s.s level. Her writing in chalk was excellent, she never talked nonsense in cla.s.s and her preparations were very good. The main and secondary points of the 45 minutes cla.s.s were clear and the key knowledge clearly explained. It could be used directly for demonstration cla.s.ses.
Xiao Lou couldn’t help touching his chin in doubt… was such a teacher really a cruel murderer?”

Meanwhile, Yu Hanjiang was standing behind a tree and staring in the direction of the school gate.
The police really came!
The four police officers who came today were the same as yesterday. Obviously, the forensic doctor had brought the body back yesterday and confirmed the cause of death with an autopsy. All the information was provided to the police and the police officers came with a lot of clues.
They first looked for the princ.i.p.al and took over an office in the Hangzhi Building. Then they called Cla.s.s 3’s PE teacher and the security guard who was on duty yesterday.
The door of the office was about to close when Yu Hanjiang put on the invisibility cloak and went in to listen.
The police turned on the recorder and asked the PE teacher while recording, “During the PE cla.s.s yesterday, who called you while the Ying Xiaoya incident happened?”
The PE teacher quickly replied, “It was Teacher Qin. Didn’t she change cla.s.ses with me? She called to check on her students. I asked her where she was and she said she was going to take her father to the hospital for a check.”
“Do you know Teacher Qin well? Did you see her yesterday?’
“We are very familiar. We were a.s.signed to this school five years ago and have been taking the same cla.s.s. That’s why she changed cla.s.ses with me when something happened.” The PE teacher paused for a moment. “She took leave yesterday and I never saw her.”
“What type of person do you think she is?”
“Very cautious, very careful. She is also very beautiful. Teacher Qin is really good.”
Then the police called the security guard over and asked some questions. “Did you see Teacher Qin yesterday?”
The security guard looked puzzled. “I didn’t see her. Didn’t she take a leave of absence? I saw her come to work this morning.”
“The keys to the roof of the Hangzhi Building are in your custody, right? Have you ever lent them to someone else?”
“No…” The security guard suddenly thought of something and straightened. “However, I accidentally dropped the entire bunch of keys when patrolling the school last month. They were returned to me after Teacher Qin picked them up.”
The two policemen glanced at each other. “Are you sure it is Teacher Qin?”
“Of course! After she returned them to me, I thanked her with a meal!”
The case-related people walked out the door and the two police officers began to whisper to each other.
The group leader said, “This Teacher Qin is too problematic. I brought the monitoring data back yesterday and found that she happened to be in school at the time of the incident. This proves that she is lying. She also returned the keys to the security guard and the deceased was poisoned with organic phosphorus. She bought some organic phosphorus last week.”
The policewoman added, “The poison was found in Yu Hui’s chocolates. Yu Hui is also very suspicious.”
“Yu Hui should have no problem. It is likely that he left them somewhere. I will call him to review it later.”
At this point, a policeman pushed open the door, opening the bottle of organic phosphorus and a signature book in his hand.
The young police officer stated, “Boss, I indeed found the poison in the chemistry laboratory.”
The group leader glanced at him. “The two of you go immediately to Cla.s.s 3. Once the cla.s.s is over, call the three suspects Qin Weiwei, Yu Hui and XIe Xinghe!”
The time for Yu Hanjiang’s invisibility cloak was ending and he had to leave the office and quickly return to Cla.s.s 3.
Xiao Lou was eavesdropping at the back of the cla.s.sroom and Yu Hanjiang walked over to whisper in his ears, “The police have come and the suspects will be called after cla.s.s. You should prepare in advance and follow them to hear the interrogation. I will cover you outside.”
Xiao Lou nodded and returned to the Hangzhi Building with Group Leader Yu.
The two of them hid in the bathroom and Yu Hanjiang repeated what he just heard to Xiao Lou. Once the suspects were brought over, Xiao Lou immediately put on the invisibility cloak and followed the suspects into the interrogation room.
The first person to be questioned was Yu Hui.
Yu Hui frowned at the police officer. “Officer, didn’t you ask me questions yesterday? What else did you want to ask?”
“Your box of chocolates is filled with organophosphate poison. How do you explain this?”
Yu Hui was horrified. “What?!”
He was stunned for a long time before finally reacting, “Surely you don’t think that I poisoned Xiaoya? f.u.c.k! I treat her as a sister. I must’ve lost these chocolates!”
“Since you are brother and sister, why not reveal the relations.h.i.+p instead of letting people misunderstand that you are in love?”
Yu Hui grabbed his hair with irritation. “I am the same age as her and I’m only three days older. This girl hasn’t called me brother since she was a child. We are in the same cla.s.s and are embarra.s.sed to let the students know we are brother and sister. Thus, at school we called each other by our names but didn’t expect to be misunderstood!”
The policeman asked, “She has lived in your home from an early age? How are your feelings?”
“Her parents divorced when she was seven years old. They work in the field and don’t care about her. They placed her in my home to care for her and both of us grew up together. The feeling is like siblings.”
He paused before continuing, “Therefore, Xiaoya’s suicide note definitely wasn’t written by her. She wouldn’t be sorry to her parents when committing suicide. The people she would be most sorry to are my parents!”
The policeman then asked, “Have your chocolates been exposed to other people?”
“I don’t know. I bought the box of chocolates at the supermarket last week and left them in my bag for a week.”
“Did you give any to Ying Xiaoya to eat?”
Yu Hui thought carefully, “I did give her a chocolate when I was running yesterday.”
“Why was she late yesterday?”
“Her mother suddenly came back to see her and bought her a mobile phone as a present for her 18th birthday. She was very happy and went to stay with her mother at night, not returning to my house. It used to be that Xiaoya woke up very early whenever we go to school today. I find it very strange that she was late!”
The police let Yu Hui leave. He had no motive for killing and didn’t have any contact with the poison. Therefore, the chocolates might’ve come from his hand but his suspicion was minimal.
The more suspicious ones were Xie Xinghe, who signed as the one who checked the poison, and the chemistry teacher who purchased the poison directly.
