Another day passed, at noon, in a banquet hall at the Alcadia Hotel in Chengzhou City.
The hall was bustling with noise and excitement, as a special sorority party was being held.
The people who attended the party were all student representatives from He Yang Normal College, grades 96 to 98, as well as teachers and school leaders from back then.
The reason why the sorority party was special was that the organizer of the sorority party was not the students or the school, but the police!
To be more precise, it was the idea of Zhao Yu, the leader of the Special Investigation Group of the Central Criminal Division!
Speaking of which, Zhao Yu's idea was quite strange, as it could be said to be unprecedented. The reason why he invited the students and teachers from the Normal College to hold a sorority party was because he wanted to obtain more information through their sorority party.
Logically speaking, if the police wanted to obtain information, they would generally conduct interviews and not allow the interviewees to have too much contact with each other.
But now, Zhao Yu did the opposite. Not only did he call everyone together, but he also asked them to hold a sorority party.
What was even more strange was that Zhao Yu also prepared Wuliangye for them and asked everyone to drink it.
At that moment, the sorority party was being held. Despite the murder diary case, after the initial silence, the teacher-student relationship awakened everyone's desire to talk. Everyone began to drink and chat freely.
In a small room next to the banquet hall, Zhao Yu and the others were busy.
"Zeng Ke," Zhao Yu looked at the scene in the banquet hall and asked Zeng Ke, "Are you sure that everyone's conversation at every table can be recorded?"
"That's for sure!" Zeng Ke nodded quickly. "There are listening devices installed in the flower baskets in the middle of each table. Don't worry, team leader, this is absolutely not a problem for me!"
"Not only do I need their voices," Zhao Yu said. "I also need to be able to see everyone's expressions!"
"No problem!" Zeng Ke said. "There are cameras in all four directions of each table. In addition, there are also high-definition wide-angle cameras installed in the banquet hall to ensure that everyone's expressions can be seen!"
"Okay, then …" Zhao Yu turned around and said to Wu Xiumin, "Sis Wu, you have to 'take care' of the few people who need to be taken care of!
"Kong Xiaoxue's husband, all the people who surrounded Liu Weiyi and talked to him, and the few teachers that we got along with previously …"
"No problem." Wu Xiumin tested the camera, then gave Zhao Yu an OK gesture.
Wu Xiumin's task was to analyze the subtle movements of these people at the banquet to see if any of them were acting strangely.
The others were responsible for recording everyone's conversations in hopes of finding information related to the case.
The reason why he allowed them to drink was naturally so that everyone could speak the truth after getting drunk and reveal more information.
Of course, all of Zhao Yu's work was done in secret. Although the sorority was organized and paid for by the police, the people who attended the meeting, except for Liu Weiyi, knew nothing about it.
Everyone only thought that this sorority was held at the invitation of the school.
After the banquet started, everyone's topic naturally revolved around the murder diary. After all, this was a very important matter to the school and even the entire Chengzhou!
Just as Zhao Yu had expected, under the deliberate arrangement of the police, the participants gradually opened their hearts and began to recall bits and pieces of the past.
"Boss …" Ran Tao looked at the monitor screen and asked Zhao Yu, "Do you really think it was a teacher? They were all university teachers and professors. How could a professor do such a thing? "
"That's nonsense," Cui Lizhu said angrily. "Can't a university professor be a murderer? Go back and take a look at the prison. Regardless of whether they are cultured, rich, or powerful, aren't there many of them?
"I'm quite optimistic about your idea, boss," Cui Lizhu said. "Maybe one of the teachers was provoked and happened to see Liu Weiyi's murder diary. That's why he had the idea of killing someone!"
"But … With all due respect …" Ran Tao said with a sullen face, "Many of the teachers from back then are no longer alive. Today, many of them did not come because of health reasons!
"Just by having a meal and drinking wine, we … we can find a clue?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "This is the only way. We can only wait and see!
"You know," Zhao Yu said helplessly. "It's impossible for us to check the DNA of those teachers. If we really do that, our special investigation group will definitely be in trouble!
Those people are all cultured, so they will definitely criticize us. So … We can only do this … "
"To be honest, I really admire you!" Cui Lizhu said, supporting Zhao Yu again. "I can't believe you came up with such a bad idea!
If we still can't find any clues, it's really unreasonable … "
"That's true. From the students, to the guards, to the teachers," Ran Tao said, trying to flatter Zhao Yu. "I'm really curious. Who is the real murderer?"
"Nonsense." Cui Lizhu grinned. "What's the use of just being curious? You'd better do your job! "
Hearing Cui Lizhu's words, Ran Tao had no choice but to change the topic and stare at his monitor screen.
At this time, Zhao Yu was focusing on one person, who was Kong Xiaoxue's husband. He was a professor in the journalism department, and he was the one who had leaked the news in their class group chat.
Zhao Yu always felt that this person was either not simple, or he knew something. So, he specially invited him to the banquet.
Previously, Wu Xiumin had already found out that this person was not a student at He Yang College. Instead, he had gone to university in the capital.
However, Zhao Yu felt that he couldn't easily rule him out as a suspect just because he was not a student at He Yang College.
After all, the murder case had happened during the summer vacation. At that time, he should have been in Chengzhou, so there was still a possibility.
Therefore, Zhao Yu deliberately arranged for him and Liu Weiyi to sit at the same table, so that Liu Weiyi could have a good chat with him.
At this moment, they had already drunk quite a lot, and they talked about a lot about the Diary Murder Case. Zhao Yu carefully listened to every word that he said, as well as every subtle movement that he made.
After observing for a long time, he finally shook his head helplessly.
Perhaps it was because of the sensitivity of the journalism department, Kong Xiaoxue's husband was obviously very interested in the case. He kept asking Liu Weiyi about the details of the case, as if he was doing a news interview.
If the case was really related to him, he would never have behaved like that. Therefore, Zhao Yu silently ruled him out as a suspect.
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Captain Mou rushed in with his mobile phone. He said to Zhao Yu, "Team Leader Zhao, we might have found the missing information of one of the female corpses! Hurry up and take a look … "
