You're cast as a villain, and you're supposed to teach the police how to solve cases?

The girl in white was found dead at the doorway. She lay on the ground, her eyes wide open, her face filled with disbelief and resentment.

Blood swirled around her, and she lay in the pool of blood like a pure white lotus flower.

"The body isn't completely cold yet; I estimate the time of death was within two hours," Xiao Song said after a brief glance.

"The fatal wound should be the knife to the neck, which is very similar to the deaths of Ren Haifeng and Chen Sanfu, a single fatal blow."

Team Leader Zhao nodded, took two steps forward, and stood in front of Meng Yang.

There was also a patch of blood under Meng Yang's body, but it was much less than the girl's, and it seemed that the injury was on his back.

However, Captain Zhao suddenly froze.

He shook his head, then rubbed his eyes hard and exclaimed in surprise.

"Old Wu, Little Song, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the two quickly stood up and went over.

"What's wrong, Captain Zhao?"

Team Leader Zhao pointed at Meng Yang's chest, his voice trembling.

"Look, isn't Meng Yang still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Song's expression changed drastically. He squatted down, examined it carefully, and then turned back in surprise.

"Team Leader Zhao, he's still alive!"

What?!

What?!

[Meng Yang is still alive? Impossible! Liang Jiahui actually let him go?]

[Holy crap, what a plot twist! Meng Yang is still alive! That's amazing!]

[Waaaaah, I... I can't help but cry, I really cried, I've never been this emotional before.]

Oh God, my God, thank you for your blessings.

I wasn't this excited even when Argentina made it to the final!

...

Meng Yang was still alive, so Team Leader Zhao immediately took out his phone and called for an ambulance.

The most urgent task now is to save Meng Yang's life. Once he's alive, we'll know what happened here.

Considering that Meng Yang's wound was on his back, the trio did not dare to turn him over until the doctor arrived.

Outside the door, the head of security breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness only one person died."

The principal glared at him. "What's the difference? Let me tell you, you're definitely not getting your bonus this year. And if someone dies again, I'll fire you!"

Damn it, it's okay that one person died, but I'm still okay, damn it.

The head of security shrank back, took a step back, and muttered curses under his breath. How could he blame himself? They were trying to kill someone; how could a security guard like him stop them?

"Team Leader Zhao, look here."

Old Wu suddenly pointed to the classroom window.

"All of these windows are locked from the inside. Only the window we saw in the corridor can be opened from the outside, but no one can get out from there. This must be a secret room."

[Damn it, this really is a locked-room murder.]

I feel this is simpler than Wu Yu's boiler room, since it has a window that can be opened.

Yes, if you had long arms, you could probably just reach through the window and lock the door.

[His hands are probably in serious trouble, but he could probably still grab something.]

...

"A secret room? Can't you just put your hand in through that window to lock the door?" Captain Zhao asked rhetorically.

Old Wu shook his head.

"I just looked at this lock. It's an old-fashioned chain lock. You put the lock in the groove and pull it up, like the ones used in hotels in the past. It's too difficult to lock it from the outside with something."

"So that means it's possible?"

"It's possible, but I can't think of a method right now, and I tend to think it can't be locked from the outside."

Hearing what Lao Wu said, Team Leader Zhao turned around and glanced at Meng Yang, who was still lying on the ground, and slowly said,

"If this is a locked room, and there's no way to create one from the outside, does that mean the murderer is Meng Yang, and that Meng Yang killed this girl?"

Old Wu nodded emphatically.

"That's how it is from the current perspective."

【? ? ? ? 】

What? Meng Yang killed this girl?!

[That's impossible, Meng Yang has been drugged.]

Yes, there was a third person present.

However, from Zhao's perspective, they couldn't find any trace of a third person present, and if a third person were there, the locked room would have to be solved. Therefore, currently, Meng Yang is the prime suspect.

[Actually, everyone forgot one thing: after Meng Yang was drugged, the security cameras stopped working, and nobody knows what happened afterward. Maybe Meng Yang was just pretending to faint, and then got up and killed the girl.]

[Yeah, that girl looked really scared. Maybe Meng Yang was the one acting it out. I've seen some videos on Douyin (TikTok), and if you get the angle right, one person can fake being strangled.]

Yes, just stick your hand out of the camera's view and then back in.

[Holy crap! You guys are confusing me! Was there a third person? Was it Liang Jiahui who did it?]

This case is getting more and more interesting.

...

The ambulance arrived quickly, and several paramedics carefully lifted Meng Yang up, immediately letting out a gasp.

"Be careful, there's a knife stuck in the back of the injured man. Make him lie face down on the stretcher."

A knife stuck in his throat?

The trio perked up and looked over.

Sure enough, a dagger was stuck in Meng Yang's back, with only his arm exposed. The entire dagger was stuck in there, and it was unclear how deep.

[Hiss---It's all the way in.]

Is...is this person even alive?

It's hard to say. If internal organs are damaged, the patient definitely won't survive. It depends on the condition inside.

Regardless, Meng Yang still has a glimmer of hope.

[But why didn't Liang Jiahui just kill Meng Yang directly? Why did he go through with this locked room thing? That's a bit strange.]

[Yeah, I think someone like him should just be killed with a single stab.]

I really don't understand.

[See? If Meng Yang wakes up, he'll probably know what happened.]

...

Meng Yang was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, accompanied by Captain Zhao. Old Wu and Xiao Song were examining the body here.

Because Meng Yang needed emergency treatment, Lu Fei, as Meng Yang's only relative, was called out of the classroom.

When Lu Fei heard that Meng Yang was unconscious and had been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, she was completely stunned, her mind going blank.

Meng Yang?

coma?

rescue?

That's impossible.

Since I met Meng Yang, he has always been so cheerful, and nothing has ever been able to stump him.

He was like a big umbrella, shielding himself from the wind and rain.

Now you're suddenly being told that the umbrella is broken?

How could she possibly bear this?

Rushing to the hospital in a panic, Lu Fei couldn't hold back her emotions when she saw Meng Yang being wheeled out of the operating room.

"elder brother!"

Lu Fei let out a pitiful cry and lunged forward.

"Lu Fei, calm down. He just had surgery and needs to rest," Captain Zhao stopped Lu Fei.

Moreover, Meng Yang is now a major suspect and cannot meet and talk to his relatives so casually.

"Captain Zhao, is something wrong with my brother?" Lu Fei felt her legs were a little weak and could only barely stand by pulling on Captain Zhao.

[Lu Fei's acting is so realistic! When I saw my husband injured, he looked exactly like that, unable to stand, his legs as thin as noodles.]

I don't think Lu Fei was acting; she seemed genuinely scared.

[After all, they filmed an entire episode together, so they developed a bond.]

If I had a brother like that, I'd panic too if something happened to him.

...

Team Leader Zhao also sensed that something was wrong with Lu Fei, so he helped her sit down on a chair nearby.

"Don't worry, the doctor just said that he's not in any danger, but he'll need some time to recover."
