Escape From the Library

【Innocence Defense-13】

Women's clothing boss Ji Xiaohui and her boyfriend Zou Yijia are both suspected of killing Xie Xiangqin.

On the day of the incident, the four people in their dormitory 105 played games in black and did not fall asleep until 4:4 in the morning. Because they stayed up late, everyone said, "I slept very deeply, and I slept until 11:[-] noon." Explain that from [-]:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., they were all asleep and could not prove whether other roommates went out. Such an "alibi" was not convincing.

From Li Huijuan's testimony, it can be known that the animation figures on Xie Xiangqin's desk were not given by Zou Yijia. Since Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui are both animation lovers, maybe those things were given to her by Ji Xiaohui?

To Yue Xingwen's relief, after half an hour of phone calls, under his persuasion, Li Huijuan seemed to have discovered some doubts and agreed to testify in court. She said: "I have a normal relationship with Xiaoting, but I think she is a A very diligent and hardworking girl, I also hope she is not a murderer. If you can defend her and prove her innocence, I am willing to testify in court."

Li Huijuan's willingness to appear in court is great news for Zhu Xiaoting.

There is only one day left before the trial.

In the morning, Lan Yarong suddenly received a notice from the police that Zhu Xiaoting asked to see a lawyer.

When the two rushed to the police force, Zhu Xiaoting's face rarely showed some joy. She said excitedly: "The police told me that the murderer of the Liu Jiajia case has been caught, and I am innocent! But I want to testify in court .”

Lan Yarong was surprised by the efficiency of the police: "Did you tell me who the murderer is?"

Zhu Xiaoting's expression darkened, and she whispered: "It's the girl who took pictures of us on the beach that day. When she passed by our barbecue stand, she put laxatives in my dipping sauce, causing me to have diarrhea all night. Wait for me to leave Later, she went to the tent to poison Liu Jiajia, poisoned Jiajia to death, and then dragged Jiajia into the sea to fake the illusion of drowning. The police found the source of the poison, and on the day of the incident, some passers-by wanted to get up early to watch the sunrise, Just in time to see her entering the tent."

Witnesses, evidence, source of poison, motive for killing...

This logical chain is more convincing than Zhu Xiaoting's fingerprints on the bottle.

It seems that the police of the beach case have identified the murderer. The girl from the School of Chemistry was jealous of Bai Yueguang in her boyfriend's heart and killed Bai Yueguang to vent her anger. This extreme approach also led to a tragedy.

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes were a little red: "Gajia is really unlucky, she didn't know Chen Kaiming from the science class at all, because she was beautiful, Chen Kaiming had a crush on her, and was killed by Chen Kaiming's girlfriend..." She said He choked up: "It's my fault too, I shouldn't have gone back to school alone. If I don't leave her, nothing will happen to her, and I won't be framed."

Lan Yarong sighed lightly: "The thing has already happened, and it's useless to regret it. The fault of this matter is that Chen Kaiming's couple didn't handle their relationship well, and other people were involved. Don't blame yourself too much."

Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath to hold back her tears, looked at the two of them and said, "The court will be held tomorrow. In the morning, it will be Liu Jiajia's case, and in the afternoon, it will be Xie Xiangqin's case. In the morning, I have to be a witness to clarify the specific circumstances of my leaving Liu Jiajia that day; In the afternoon case, I am the defendant..."

Lan Yarong took out a copy of Senior Sister Lan's final revised speech and handed it to her: "In the case of Xie Xiangqin, as the defendant, you have an opportunity to speak for yourself. Lawyer Yue Xingwen has already written the speech for you. Try to memorize it as much as possible. You told us the contents of the manuscript yourself, and when the time comes in court, you have to restore the details of the day when the crime happened."

Yue Xingwen warned: "Attention, don't make mistakes at every point of time, be clear, control your emotions, don't be nervous when speaking, let everyone believe that what you stated is the truth, understand?"

Zhu Xiaoting met the gentle eyes of the two above, and lightly grasped the speech: "Thank you, I will try my best to memorize it."

Lan Yarong added: "At that time, the prosecutor's lawyer may ask you some questions. If the other party is aggressive and asks you inducing questions, I will interrupt in time. Don't be intimidated by the other party's aura. When encountering a question that you don’t know how to answer, just say you don’t know, or look at us and refuse to answer, don’t be fooled by the other party’s words.”

Zhu Xiaoting said anxiously: "Okay, if I encounter a question that I can't answer, I'll just say I don't know."

Lan Yarong patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly: "We have found clues that are beneficial to you, and we have invited many witnesses. You have to have confidence in us, and you must also have confidence in yourself. Okay? ?”

Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

After coming out of the police force, Yue Xingwen said with a smile: "Senior Sister Lan is quite like a lawyer."

Lan Yarong was helpless: "I'm also rushing to the shelves. The total number of court appearances in my graduate school is only a handful. Alas, play by ear tomorrow."

Yue Xingwen said: "Ke Shaobin should have made new progress. Tomorrow, are we going to clear all the boys in the 105 dormitory and serve as witnesses in court?"

Lan Yarong shook her head: "It's too late. The best result tomorrow is that the judge recognizes the new clues we have found, believes that there is a new murderer in the case, agrees to adjourn the court, and calls back for the procuratorate to reiterate. It is impossible to catch the real murderer on the spot. , There are still a lot of information that must be checked through the police.”

Yue Xingwen opened the WeChat group and asked: "Time is running out, is the witness settled yet? @zhuofeng"

Zhuo Feng said: "It's done, the uncle who provided the key is willing to testify in court."

Yue Xingwen said: "Great! Li Huijuan, and Qi Xinyu from the animation club are willing to appear in court."

Liu Zhaoqing quickly reported the results of the investigation in the group: "I checked in the hospital, Xu Youyou and Wang Xiaolu, two girls from the medical school, the former has a boyfriend, has met the parents, and has reached the point of discussing marriage, and did not kill Xie Xiangqin Motives; the latter has a cold personality, has obtained the school's guaranteed research quota, and devotes most of his time to scientific research and papers every day, and has no conflicts with Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting."

The medical school line was broken.Although the two girls were in the dormitory at the time of the crime, and both knew Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting, they had no motive for committing the crime.Xu Youyou's state of gossip everywhere doesn't look like a murderer, Wang Xiaolu doesn't care about others, and doesn't comment on this matter, as if it has nothing to do with her, because she usually has this kind of personality.

Jiang Pingce said: "It seems that the focus is on the boys in dormitory 105."

Someone died in the girls' dormitory. Pushing around, the most likely murderer was a boy!

Yue Xingwen said: "Leave it to Ke Shao, Ping Ce and Xin Yan. Before the court tomorrow, try to find as many clues as possible about Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting in Boys' 105 Dormitory. The more clues, the better for us!"

Ke Shaobin and Jiang Pingce searched on the Internet together, and their hard work finally paid off - that afternoon, they found photos of a comic exhibition held in Beishan City on July 7 this year.

A passer-by took some photos and posted them on Weibo. In one of the photos, the big guy in women's clothing is Ji Xiaohui, and the girl who took a photo with him is actually Xie Xiangqin who went to the comic exhibition!

A passer-by took this photo and commented, "The two girls are so beautiful." Apparently, the passer-by didn't see that Ji Xiaohui was dressed as a woman.The intimate photo of the two "girls" close together is enough to prove that their private relationship is not simple, and Xie Xiangqin's participation in the comic exhibition cannot be a coincidence.

Jiang Pingce found the circle of friends of Zhong Jian in July, and found that there was a screenshot of three roommates Zou Yijia, Zhong Jian, and Zhang Bin playing together on July 7st. The three of them played for a whole day At the same time, roommate Ji Xiaohui and girlfriend Xie Xiangqin met at the comic exhibition?

Did Zou Yijia know that his girlfriend met her roommate behind his back?

Ke Shaobin continued to search for the photos on the day of the comic exhibition. From the flooded news, he found all the photos taken by passers-by on Weibo on July 7, and screened out 1 traces related to Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin.

Ji Xiaohui was wearing a pink dress of an anime girl and a golden wig; Xie Xiangqin was wearing a very everyday dress, a simple white dress with red high-heeled shoes, and a ponytail, pure and beautiful.

The two took a group photo in front of the comic exhibition sign, and they also had lunch together, went shopping at the comic exhibition, and bought peripherals. The photos were taken from the perspective of passers-by, and they laughed happily.More importantly, in one of the photos, Xie Xiangqin was holding a hand-made doll in exactly the same dress as Ji Xiaohui in her arms.

Ke Shaobin excitedly sent these photos to the group: "Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin have a very close relationship in private. Judging from the timeline of the photos taken by passers-by, Xie Xiangqin didn't take this doll at noon, but he took it in the afternoon. This hand-made doll Ji Xiaohui must have bought it for her!"

Qin Miao said: "I remember that this anime girl was also on the poster on the wall of Xie Xiangqin's dormitory, and there was a hand-made doll of the same style on the table. It seems that this is Xie Xiangqin's favorite anime character. Ji Xiaohui's cosplay of her favorite character is definitely not coincide."

Qin Lu couldn't help but said: "There are so many anime female characters who can be cosplayed. He specially picked the characters Xie Xiangqin likes to play, which shows that Ji Xiaohui is very attentive! Compared with a straight male boyfriend who called and scolded him because he couldn't play the game well, it is so considerate. Ji Xiaohui, is it easier to capture Xie Xiangqin's heart?"

Lin Manluo agreed: "Girls pay more attention to the details in life. Although Ji Xiaohui is introverted, he is not as bright and cheerful as Zou Yijia, but he plays anime characters that girls like and gives them anime figures. It is really easy for girls Feel good about it."

Ji Xiaohui looks gentle, but he is indeed not as handsome as Zou Yijia.

But Zou Yijia doesn't seem to understand his girlfriend's heart very well. The gifts he gives to his girlfriend are usually lipsticks and snacks, which are relatively common things. It's not as surprising as the limited edition figure given by Ji Xiaohui.

If Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin were ordinary friends, why would they give it away?

Will a normal boy give a separate figure to the "roommate's girlfriend"?A friend's wife should not be bullied, this is simply taboo.

Yue Xingwen immediately said: "The relationship between Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin is not simple, try to find more evidence to prove that Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin have maintained private contacts for a long time."

After more than an hour, Ke Shaobin bubbled up in the group again, and sent a series of new clues: "I touched Ji Xiaohui's personal space, found out his online shopping ID, and found that he bought a lot of anime characters in the past six months. Costumes, props and wigs are used for cosplay, but in addition to the COS costumes, he bought two everyday women's outfits and a long black wig."

Anime styles are generally more exaggerated. You can tell that this is an anime character at a glance. In reality, many boys have cosplayed female characters. This is a personal hobby and there is nothing to question.

But the "everyday dress" that Ji Xiaohui bought is very problematic. The blue skirt, white high-heeled shoes, and black wig are worn on the body, which completely resembles the image of a "female college student".

This is not a simple anime cosplay, this is a straight man disguised as a woman, right?

Yue Xingwen thought of a way: "Put the face of the model in this suit as Ji Xiaohui's, and ask the dormitory manager if she has any impressions. Maybe he has worn this suit many times to sneak into the girls' dormitory."

Ke Shaobin acted immediately and sent the photo to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao took the photo to ask the aunt of the dormitory manager, and soon got confirmation: "The auntie of the dormitory manager said that she has met this girl before. She is a student who lives in Building No. 6. She often comes back late on weekends and is working and studying outside."

Everyone looked at each other.

On weekends, I often go in and out of the girls' dormitory.

this is too scary!

Lan Yarong hurriedly said: "We need to submit the list of witnesses before tonight, and persuade the housekeeper to testify in court as soon as possible! In addition, our P's photo cannot be used as evidence, but it can be raised as a doubtful point. Ke Shao, can you make short animations? "

Ke Shaobin said: "Easy things can be done, what will the senior sister do?"

Lan Yarong asked him to make a simple animation of the murder scene: "A simple restoration of the crime scene will make the judge believe in Zhu Xiaoting's statement. We are running out of time. Tomorrow is a tough battle and we must go to court. Keep Zhu Xiaoting and let the judge agree to send the case back for retrial."

The court hearing is imminent.

Lan Yarong, Yue Xingwen, and Lin Manluo stayed up until 4 a.m. to sort out all the questions and defense drafts.

If the defense fails tomorrow and the judge convicts Zhu Xiaoting of murder on the spot, it will be over for them.

So they must rack their brains to convince judges and jurors of another possibility——

That is the possibility of Zhu Xiaoting being framed and the boys sneaking into the girls' dormitory to kill!
