After Wang Changan introduced the case three years ago, he asked everyone: "Who is the deceased in the dormitory?"

"It's my...classmate." This childish voice came from the little girl behind Bao Hongxu.

Wang Changan turned around and noticed the petite girl behind him, and realized that he should say hello to the other four strangers.

After Bao Hongxu's introduction, the other five people present were Vice Principal Yang Bosong, Director of the Teaching Office Zheng Lei, Dormitory Administrator Zhang Li, Grade 11 Class Teacher Yuan Peiqiang and his student Bai Lili.

The name of the deceased in the room was Zhou Jialin.

Wang Changan nodded, and he motioned to Ma Weidong to find out the details of the discovery of the body from several school personnel. He walked to the door of the dormitory again.

Ma Weidong pulled out a crumpled piece of papyrus from his pocket and asked Vice Principal Yang Bosong: "Principal Yang, can you tell me about the process of discovering the body?"

Yang Baisong's forehead lines were very deep, as if carved on his forehead with a carving knife. He pushed up his glasses with his hand and replied: "Today's 1:30 to 4:50 pm is originally the National Day stipulated by our school.

It was time to return to school during the holidays. Our classmate Bai Lili from Class 11, Grade 1, returned to her dormitory at around two o'clock in the afternoon. After tidying up her dormitory, she took the bedding on the bed to the balcony in the corridor to dry. However, because many students were

The bedding had been laid out on the balcony before the holiday, and the space on the third floor where the bedding could be dried was extremely limited. Classmate Bai Lili carried the bedding and walked to the door of the dormitory where the incident occurred, intending to dry the bedding here..."

Bai Lili bit her lip, pointed to the balcony opposite the dormitory timidly and said: "I walked to that place and smelled a strange smell... It was the same disgusting smell just now. At first I thought someone was sneaking it.

The sausages that came to the dormitory were spoiled, so I covered my nose and mouth and knocked on the door of each dormitory. But there were not many students back at that time, and no one admitted to bringing sausages back. When I walked to the dormitory that was locked with an upper lock,

Before, I realized that this place has the best smell..."

"So you tried to open the door?" Ma Weidong lowered his head and answered.

"That's right, but I also saw it through the crack in the door...I saw Zhou Jialin hanging on the roof..." Bai Lili's eyes were filled with tears, and her mouth was trembling.

"How do you know that the woman who was hanged in the dormitory is your classmate Zhou Jialin?"

"She is my classmate..."

Ma Weidong felt that there was nothing more to ask, so he put the papyrus filled with stick figures back into his pocket.

Wang Changan was still looking at the upper lock in a daze. He couldn't figure out how the deceased Zhou Jialin entered the dormitory.

The mechanism of the upper lock is very simple. Once locked, it cannot be opened.

If you want to open the door, you can only use various violent methods, such as using a drill or cutter to remove the lock, or directly dismantling the entire door.

However, Wang Changan stared at the door for several minutes and found no signs of damage to the lock or around the lock, nor did he find any sign that the door had been disassembled.

This is really strange.

"What should we do now?" Bao Hongxu was a little impatient and asked Wang Changan helplessly.

Wang Changan was really at his wits' end when it came to the upper lock. He replied: "You must open the lock violently. If that doesn't work, you have to remove the entire door..."

"It seems like this is the only way."

Wang Changan nodded: "Bao Jiupin, please contact the locksmith quickly... No, contact a carpenter quickly. I'll take a few photos with my camera here and try to fix the evidence."

Although Bao Hongxu always likes to make jokes when talking, when he really does his work, he is vigorous and unambiguous.

He immediately contacted the most skilled carpenter in the area, and at the same time ordered the police around him to go downstairs to pick up the person. He then discussed with Vice Principal Yang Baisong how to disperse the gathering crowd.

After two or three sentences, the two reached a tacit understanding and walked down the stairs side by side.

Ma Weidong stood on the balcony and looked down. He didn't know what kind of spell Bao Hongxu had cast. The people who were originally surrounding the dormitory building all dispersed like birds and beasts and left the dormitory building.

After a while, Bao Hongxu returned to the third floor with an old carpenter.

Under the guidance of Wang Changan, this old master dismantled the door frame and door almost intact.

After everything settled, Wang Changan and others finally saw the whole room clearly.

Directly opposite Wang Changan, there is a wooden window that can be opened. Although the window is not large, an adult of normal height can pass through it. However, this dormitory is located on the third floor of the entire building. It is not very high.

It's not too short to say that it's short. If you don't have the ability to climb over eaves and walls, it's impossible to climb into the room through the windows from the outer wall.

This window was completely blocked by light blue curtains, which is why the room seemed so dark.

There are two iron bunk beds on the left and right sides of the dormitory. The bed frames used to support the bed boards are rusty. Mats made of rice straw and cattail are placed on the beds. Other than that, the bed surface looks empty.

There is a long wooden table neatly placed in the middle of the bunk beds on both sides. Seven wooden study chairs are placed under the long table, facing each other. There is also a chair lying on the cement floor not far from the long table.

And directly above the long table, a rotting corpse was suspended in the air, with the corpse's head hanging on a rope knotted with a red skipping rope.

Wang Changan was not in a hurry to enter the dormitory. He asked everyone else to stand back, put on his disposable shoe covers and portable tool box and slowly entered the dormitory.

There was not much dust on the cement floor, and there were obvious signs that someone had cleaned it. However, because the room was too dark, Wang Changan could not see clearly.

Wang Changan walked to the window and opened the curtains, revealing a not very dazzling beam of sunlight into the room.

As the white vision in front of him gradually dimmed, Wang Changan discovered a wall stack about two meters high standing about five meters away from the dormitory building.

Next to the wall is a row of narrow flowerbeds, with countless golden chrysanthemums clustered in layers. The outermost petals stretch out slightly, like a few petite tentacles, stroking the gentle breeze.

.

There is a pedestrian walkway about three meters wide between the flower garden and the dormitory building.

Wang Changan moved his gaze to the nearest window. He saw that the window frame was covered with dust. The latch fixed in the middle of the window was locked from the inside, and there was no sign that it had been opened manually.

This evidence confused Wang Changan.

If this was a murder case, then the murderer definitely did not escape through the window after committing the crime, but there was actually an upper lock hanging outside the dormitory door that could not be opened...
