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