Although the police had no clues, the school was in chaos, and the students were a little scared due to the continuous deaths. Seeing this situation, the principal could only hold a pep rally to calm the students down.
"What do you think the principal is doing? We already have enough homework and we still have to go to school during the summer vacation. If something like this happens, we still have to go to school. I feel very sad when I think about the upcoming senior year of high school."
During lunch, a boy complained while eating.
"Okay, stop complaining. We only have five minutes to eat every day. In such a tight time, it's better to eat quickly and stop talking."
The police station could only start by investigating Xiong Hui's social relations. However, in the eyes of teachers and principals, Xiong Hui was a good, conscientious and responsible director who cared very much about the students, so after a thorough investigation, nothing was gained.
.
"Captain, what else do you think we can check?"
Da Binzi was also a little helpless. There was no clue to this case at all, and there was nothing except the vague surveillance.
"I don't know, but..."
Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai aside and found that Chen Bai was just staring at Xiong Hui's body in silence.
"what's on your mind?"
"Xiong Hui's death is most likely the students' revenge. They were dissatisfied with the current class system, so they took revenge on the director."
Dabinzi scratched his head and asked with some confusion.
"This, can't it?"
"By the way, is Binhai No. 1 High School compulsory or voluntary to make up for the summer vacation?"
Before Da Binzi could answer, Chen Bai smiled bitterly and said.
"It's up to me. It's useless to ask. It must be all voluntary."
There is no progress on the police side, but the matter is getting more and more serious online.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why has the online discussion of this matter reached this point?"
Looking at Director Ding's appearance, Bai Hongwei and Chen Bai were a little helpless. There were no clues in the case and the people at the school were not cooperating. It was difficult for them now.
"I know you are under a lot of pressure now, but if you don't solve it, problems will occur sooner or later. How long do you think it will take to solve the case?"
After Director Ding finished speaking, Bai Hongwei looked at Chen Bai beside him. But this time, Chen Bai rarely said the number of days, but said with a serious expression.
"Director Ding, I can't say for sure when this case will be solved, because I can't be sure what the murderer is thinking. I don't know yet whether he will stop or continue, but there is only one thing I can be sure of, and that is this
The murderer of the case is a self-centered genius."
After coming out of the director's office, Bai Hongwei asked anxiously.
"Chen Bai, is it possible that you haven't identified the murderer yet?"
"No, I don't even know what the murderer is thinking now!"
Early the next morning, the police force received another report. This time it was Zhang Wenlang, a mathematics teacher from Class 30, who died. Everyone looked at this familiar scene with a headache.
"The third one!"
Zhang Wenlang's body was found in the office. There were a lot of reference materials and papers piled on the table, so the teachers who entered the office at first didn't notice it until the teacher next to Zhang Wenlang came and saw blood all over the ground.
, then it was discovered that Zhang Wenlang was dead.
"The time of death was around ten o'clock last night. The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. There was a pen stuck in the aorta of the deceased's left leg. This is how the blood on the ground came from."
Chen Bai frowned as he looked at the exercises written in blood on the table. The murderer seemed to have asked Zhang Wenlang to do the exercises before killing him? Why is this?
"Officer, officer!"
Chen Bai turned around and saw the principal standing at the door waving to him.
"What?"
"Officer, when will this return to its original state? That's right, we have a ranking exam today, can we go faster here?"
When Chen Bai heard this, he suppressed his anger and looked at the man and said.
"Principal, how many people have died here? Are you still taking exams? Let the students go back! It's not very convenient for us to investigate the case with them here."
But as soon as the principal heard this, his face immediately changed and he spoke directly and sternly.
"This won't work. Students' exams cannot be delayed. If that doesn't work, we can find another way."
Seeing the principal leaving, Chen Bai and others felt helpless, but they had no way to force the school to suspend classes.
"Chen Bai, come and take a look at this!"
At this moment, Song Anchun pulled Chen Bai over.
"This is...."
Looking at the needle in his hand, Chen Bai was a little confused. It was difficult to see what it was with the naked eye.
"Although I don't know what it is, I found pinholes on the neck of the deceased. I think it was probably done by the murderer."
Of course, the criminal police team found no clues at the scene and gained nothing through surveillance. Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the hospital called.
"Wu Fang! Is there anything else you want to tell uncle?"
Chen Bai was a little curious. Is there anything Wu Fang didn't tell him last time?
"Uncle policeman, I don't know if what I did is right, but I think you must take a look at this."
With that said, Wu Fang took out her mobile phone and handed it to Chen Bai. Chen Bai saw that there was a forum on Wu Fang's mobile phone. The forum was called Punisher. Chen Bai was shocked after just reading a few articles. But what shocked Chen Bai even more
Yes, the first post on the top of this forum is the news of Zhang Wenlang's death, and there are also photos. What's more important is that there are hundreds of good comments below this post.
"What's this?"
Of course Chen Bai knew that this could not be a school forum, Wu Fang looked at Chen Bai and whispered.
"This is a forum circulated among our students. We didn't know it was open. We usually vent all our dissatisfaction with the school's parents and teachers on this forum."
Chen Bai flipped through a few articles at random, and they all said that parents and parents were bad, and that schools still had classes during the summer vacation.
"I can barely understand that I have to take classes during the summer vacation of my senior year of high school, but why do you have to take tutoring even for those who have just been admitted to your school and are about to be a freshman in high school, and those of you who are about to be a sophomore in high school?"
Chen Bai didn't understand this system of making up classes. After all, the summer vacation before graduating from the third year of junior high school and entering the first year of high school can be relaxed, but now he has to make up classes during this summer vacation. Isn't it a bit too tiring?
"This is the tradition of our school. Our school is divided into junior high school and high school. Those who pass the elementary school must come to our school for tutoring during the summer vacation. And after entering the first middle school, there are no more festivals and weekends. Many
Sometimes teachers will give lectures on weekends and use them for exams during normal times. Uncle policeman, you already know that we are divided into classes based on academic performance. After each exam, the school will come up with a big ranking, with the bottom five in each grade
Those who finish after 100 will be punished by running laps, and their parents will be invited, and even those who finish after 500 will have extra homework."
Chen Bai rubbed his head. If this was the case, it was not unreasonable for those students to be so angry.
"By the way, do you have any impression of your brother's math teacher Zhang Wenlang?"
Chen Bai didn't have much hope and just asked tentatively. But he didn't expect that after Wu Fang heard the name, she suddenly lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Xiao Fang! You are a good boy and a strong and brave boy. If you really know something, just tell your uncle."
Chen Bai could tell at a glance that Wu Fang must know something. Wu Fang looked at Chen Bai and said hesitantly.
"Mr. Zhang teaches very good mathematics, but Teacher Zhang always tells us that the most important thing in a person's life is the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination is the only way to change a person's life. Those who fail to get into key universities will be doomed in this life. He
He also said that those who cannot go to school in the same class will definitely not be able to get into a key university in this life."
Chen Bai felt helpless and stretched out his hand to touch Wu Fang's head.
"Any more?"
"Teacher Zhang actually dislikes those children who don't study well, saying that their lives are a waste of educational resources. He also said that he can't understand why these people can't even do such small things as studying well."
Chen Bai was a little helpless. He was a teacher himself and knew how to teach students according to their aptitude. Not everyone in this world is such a genius. Most people are just ordinary people.
"Xiaofang! Remember, what your teacher said is not entirely right. The college entrance examination is indeed the most important exam for everyone. It is the fairest exam, but even if you fail to get into a key university, your life will be the same. Okay.
School does not mean a good job, and going to the best university does not necessarily mean you will find the best job. Little girl, I hope you have a happy life more than a perfect test paper."
After returning to the police station, Chen Bai immediately studied the forum.
"Teacher Chen, what you are talking about is very difficult. This kind of forum basically uses foreign servers. It is very difficult to trace the IP address."
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
Chen Bai was a little confused. Although the server was said to be abroad, it could always be traced, right?
"It's not like there's no solution at all, but the problem now is that even if we can find the overseas server, it will take several days."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I know you can do it."
Of course, if Chen Bai could get this clue, he would not sit still and wait for death. He immediately returned to school and came to the Network Information Security Department.
"Brother Hua, are you there?"
Chen Bai was holding a large bucket of Coke in one hand and a plastic bag in the other. Looking at the screens lighting up around him, Chen Bai knew that this guy must be there.
"Come out! Do you think you can escape?"
A young man in his twenties walked out of the door. He was wearing headphones and wearing a shiny T-shirt, but there was no trace of happiness on his face.
"What are you doing? I'm here to see you. Look at what you look like!"
The young man didn't say anything, he just grabbed the big Coke from Chen Bai's hand and took a sip.
"Okay, what good can you do by coming to my place? I heard that you are now helping the police solve cases, what? Do you have any network questions to ask me?"
Brother Hua casually pulled up a chair and sat down. Chen Bai smiled and put the plastic bag on the table and said.
"That's right, I'm just asking you to do something."
The man took off his headphones and said helplessly.
"Chen Bai, you don't even know how to say something nice when asking for help? I..."
Chen Bai didn't say anything, he directly opened his phone and put this forum in front of him.
"This is....."
"how long it takes?"
"Tomorrow, come to me at this time tomorrow."
At the same time, Bai Hongwei was also holding a meeting with everyone in the police office.
"Now this case has attracted attention from all walks of life. I know you are under great pressure, but no matter how great the pressure is, we must withstand it and not let the murderer go free. Da Binzi, let's summarize the two recent cases."
"yes!"
Da Binzi stood up, took out the photo from the portfolio and posted it on the whiteboard.
"The cause of this case was Wu Yang's suicide. Wu Yang jumped from the roof of the teaching building at ten o'clock in the morning last Monday. The first discoverer was a student of the school. When we arrived, we didn't find much.
There were signs of homicide, but Teacher Chen insisted that it was homicide."
Da Binzi said as he opened another file bag and took out the photos of Xiong Hui's death scene.
"Three days later in the early morning, we found that the dean of students, Xiong Hui, had died in Class 30. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. We found many unfinished test papers at the scene. After that, Zhang Wenlang, a mathematics teacher in Class 30, died.
He was found dead in his office. The cause of death was suffocation. The hook marks on the deceased's neck proved that someone strangled the deceased from behind."
After Dabinzi finished speaking, he glanced at a few people and continued after seeing that the captain had nothing to say.
"us....."
The police force has no clues, but there is such a rumor circulating among the students of Binhai City No. 1 High School.
"Did you hear that? It is said that someone in our school died before, and what is happening now is all the revenge of that person."
"I do not know how?"
"What do you know? This matter happened in the early days of the establishment of the school. We were not even born at that time!"
Of course, the whispers among the students quickly reached the teachers, but now the teachers in No. 1 Middle School are all in danger. After two teachers died in a row, they have no idea whether it will be their turn next.
"Please, let me go."
The man kept begging, but the masked man in front of him didn't seem to hear him.
"I said, as long as you can finish all the questions here, I can let you go."
The man looked at the pile of test papers in front of him and said with a bitter smile.
"There are so many, I can't finish them even in one night, please let me go!"
"Why do you leave so much behind when you know you can't finish it? These are just one of the assignments that students complete every day, and you can't finish them now?"
Early the next morning, Chen Bai received a call from Brother Hua while he was still sleeping.
"Come here quickly, I found something that you must be interested in!"
When Chen Bai heard this, he jumped out of bed, tidied up briefly and ran towards Brother Hua's house.
"How's it going? What did you find?"
"After a night of tracking, I found that the person who created this forum is in the community next to No. 1 Middle School. This is the IP address."
Brother Hua said and handed the note in his hand to Chen Bai. Chen Bai looked at Brother Hua and knew that the interesting things that Brother Hua said were definitely not just that simple.
"I also found out that the photos of the murder scenes in the forum were uploaded by a person named Light Messenger. Although real-name authentication is not required to register for this forum, you need to receive a verification code when using the external network. I checked
to the person’s phone to receive the verification code.”
Chen Bai nodded, this was a very important clue. But when Chen Bai took Bai Hongwei to find the IP address, he was shocked by what he saw. Because the owner of the mobile phone was the top student in Class 1, Grade 3, No. 1 Middle School.
Named Chen Xun.
"Police? What are the police doing with us?"
It was Chen Xun's mother who opened the door. When the police came to the door, the woman's tone was not very friendly.
"Your son may be an important witness in our case. I would like to ask your son a few questions."
Chen Bai was a little embarrassed, because according to regulations, a guardian must be present when questioning minors, but if the child is really related to this case, how should they ask?
"Okay, my son is doing his homework, please wait a moment!"
The two of them sat in the living room and waited, while the woman turned and walked into the kitchen. But within ten minutes, a tall and thin young man walked out of the room.
"Mom, I'll be back in half an hour at most. I've finished all my homework and reviewed it."
After the boy finished speaking, he looked at Chen Bai and the others and pointed at the door without saying anything.
"I know why you came to me. I did set up that forum, but I didn't kill anyone. I didn't do the killing."
Several people came to the coffee shop not far away. When Chen Xun came up and got straight to the point, Bai Hongwei was a little overwhelmed, but Chen Bai just smiled and said.
"It's interesting. How do you know that we came to you because of the forum?"
Chen Xun smiled helplessly when he heard this question, pointed to his head and said.
"I'm a genius, how come I don't know what you people think? Besides, that forum has deviated from its original intention. It's only a matter of time before someone discovers it."
Chen Bai nodded and continued to ask.
"What's going on with those crime scene photos? Why did you find them faster than the police?"
Chen Xun spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Actually, I don't know this either. After all, I'm just the founder of this forum, not the uploader of those photos."
"Really? But you are really not clever in lying. We have found that the IP address where you uploaded those photos is at your home. It is the same as the address where you usually post. You just changed your name. Chen Xun, you
Isn’t he a genius? How can a genius tell such lies?”
Chen Xun was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, a man in his thirties wearing glasses sat down next to him.
"Okay, there is nothing more to do with you here. I will talk to the three police officers about the rest!"
Chen Bai stopped Bai Hongwei, looked at the man and asked.
"Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
"My name is Chen Likun. I just won the highest award in physics three days ago. I know what you are investigating. Chen Xun is just a child. Children play without counting. I am the one who uploaded the photos. If you have any questions, you can ask me.
