“Oh?” I looked at him in confusion, waiting for him to continue. 0
 
Fang Bo pointed to the rope tied around the corpse's ankle. “This bow was definitely not tied by the deceased.” 0
 
“Why is that?” I asked. 0
 
“Because the way the bow is tied is quite complex. If the deceased had tied it herself, it would have gotten tighter. But this bow is very loose.” 0
 
“Also, look at the shape of the deceased's Giant Perspective; she must have been a relatively thin woman when she was alive. Even if she were alive, she might not have been able to move this stone.” 0
 
“So, this case must be a homicide!” 0
 
After Fang Bo finished speaking, Captain Li nodded in satisfaction. 0
 
It seemed that Fang Bo indeed had some reasoning skills; no wonder Captain Li brought him to the scene. 0
 
However, Fang Bo made a valid point. 0
 
The deceased's face was unclear, and there were no surveillance cameras at the scene. 0
 
We could only take the body back for further investigation to determine her identity. 0
 
Just as I was about to leave, the image of that boy I saw in the morning suddenly flashed in my mind. 0
 
 
I was in such a hurry earlier that I didn’t have the chance to ask who that person was. 0
 
I have a feeling that he is somehow connected to the deceased. 0
 
It seems like he has been watching me all along. 0
 
Seeing me standing there in a daze, Teacher Cui asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something else you need?” 0
 
I told Teacher Cui about the boy I saw in the morning. 0
 
After thinking for a moment, Teacher Cui said, “When you and Xiao Liu conduct the autopsy again later, make sure to investigate this boy as well!” 0
 
“Okay, thank you, Teacher!” I replied gratefully to Teacher Cui. 0
 
It was rare to see him show a hint of a kind smile, which surprised me. 0
 
Usually, he maintains a stern expression and is very strict with us. 0
 
Why was he suddenly so easygoing this time? 0
 
I decided to search for the boy I had seen earlier at school. 0
 
I wanted to know why he had been staring at me and what his connection to the deceased was. 0
 
 
As I was intently observing the students passing by, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. 0
 
"Why are you still here?" 0
 
I jumped in surprise and turned to see Fang Bo. 0
 
He was holding a notebook, seemingly ready to jot something down. 0
 
"The teacher asked me to stay behind to find that boy I saw this morning. I feel like he might be connected to the deceased," I told Fang Bo honestly. 0
 
To my surprise, Fang Bo had his own reasons for staying. 0
 
He explained that he had overheard a conversation between two girls. 0
 
They mentioned that the bracelet on the deceased's wrist resembled one belonging to their counselor, Ma Zhaofang. 0
 
However, Ma Zhaofang had resigned long ago, and they were unsure if they had mistaken it. 0
 
Fang Bo stayed behind to find those two girls and ask them for more details. 0
 
After discussing it, we decided to search for the girls together. 0
 
Fang Bo and I teamed up to look for them around the school. 0
 
 
I searched for the cafeteria but couldn't find it. 0
 
I had no choice but to go have lunch first. 0
 
Fang Bo and I sat in the cafeteria eating our meal. 0
 
A few students nearby were whispering about the body found in the lake. 0
 
"I heard that the body had been in the water for a long time, covered in worms!" 0
 
"Who knows? Maybe it's a drowned ghost seeking revenge!" 0
 
"Stop talking! I heard that the body was killed by someone from outside, and the murderer hasn't been found yet!" 0
 
Rumors were flying everywhere. 0
 
Fang Bo and I chose to sit in a crowded area, hoping to overhear more useful information. 0
 
However, these students were just talking nonsense, and there wasn't anything valuable to be heard. 0
 
Suddenly, I noticed two girls sitting behind Fang Bo seemed to be discussing the body discovered that morning. 0
