After Jiang An's analysis, regarding this kind of harm occurring in a multi-to-one situation on campus.
Everyone had come to a common conclusion in their hearts, which was school bullying.
Similar news occasionally appears in the media.
It's not a rare thing anymore.
Zhang Yean said, "I heard that Hexi Bilingual Middle School has a good reputation!"
"When walking on the street, I often receive their school's flyers touting strong teaching staff, excellent facilities, and good student conduct."
Jiang An said, "That's just promotional material!"
"I've always believed in one principle, which is the more you lack something, the more you have to showcase it."
"What a profound feeling!"
After this case, Zhang Yean increasingly felt that Jiang An's words made sense.
Moreover, they were the kind of words worth writing in a book!
Wu You also said with a serious expression, "Just now, seeing the haughty demeanor of the Dean of Academic Affairs, it's likely the students' conduct isn't much better if the teachers lack quality."
Li Jian looked up at the willow branches, lost in thought.
After a long while, he said, "It's really not easy to hang a living girl from this spot."
Zhang Yean asked again, "Why didn't the girl resist or call for help when she was hung on this willow branch?"
Li Jian looked around and said, "This place is far from the teaching building, even if she called for help, it's unlikely anyone would hear."
"Furthermore, in such bullying incidents among students, the victim usually doesn't dare to resist."
"But even in general circumstances they don't dare, this obviously endangered her life, didn't it?"
Curious, Zhang Yean asked, "Could it be that even in life-threatening situations, they wouldn't resist?"
"It's an animal instinct; even a cornered dog will jump over a wall."
Li Jian did not immediately answer this question.
Earlier, through visits and investigations, they confirmed no one heard any unusual sounds on the night of the incident.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
At this time, Jiang An analyzed and said, "Actually, this result is not surprising."
"Bro, can you explain it perfectly again?"
Zhang Yean's eyes widened, her two prominent canine teeth especially noticeable.
"Every exam a full score, always bringing us surprises."
Li Jian smiled, as if he had no doubt about what Jiang An was going to say next.
Jiang An explained, "Regarding this special inverted hanging position, it won't cause death in a short time, but over time there will be problems."
"This prolonged inverted position will eventually lead to paralysis of the respiratory muscles of the person involved."
"The key is that this kind of hypoxia is unlike strangulation, where the resulting lack of oxygen is very rapid and direct."
"However, this paralysis of the respiratory muscles leads to slow hypoxia, and the bodily harm from this hypoxia is also slowly progressive."
"At first, there's just shortness of breath and dizziness."
"Next, there's difficulty breathing and impaired consciousness."
"Finally, severe hypoxia leads to unconsciousness."
Wu You found it very admirable after listening.
I didn't expect this rare mechanism of asphyxiation and hypoxia to be so well understood by this young man.
Moreover, he described it so vividly!
Understanding knowledge and imparting knowledge have some essential differences.
Some people may be very learned but like a container that can't pour out the ink inside.
But!
Jiang An speaks so fluently, which shows he understands it deeply.
Zhang Yean smiled and said, "A top student is a top student, no surprises!"
Then, Li Jian said, "As Jiang An just mentioned, it's likely that the start of this death case wasn't a murder."
"The perpetrator probably didn't foresee such a severe outcome initially."
"After discovering the death, they hurriedly hung the deceased on the willow tree, disguising it as a suicide by hanging."
"If that's the case, wouldn't the perpetrator still be in the school?"
Zhang Yean asked.
Jiang An said, "Your analysis is spot on this time, I also think the perpetrator is within the school, otherwise, they couldn't get in."
Jiang An looked around and said, "This place is very secluded, obviously, the perpetrator is very familiar with the environment here."
Li Jian said, "Let's go! We need to find the school leaders and teachers, the breakthrough must come from them."
Immediately, Li Jian led Jiang An, Wu You, and Zhang Yean to the admin office building of the school.
10 minutes later, just as the four stepped out of the elevator, they saw a woman in a black short skirt.
"Hello! Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your principal!"
"He's in a meeting in the conference room, please wait a moment."
"I can't wait, where is he?"
As he spoke, Li Jian took out his police ID.
The woman was a bit surprised, but seeing the police ID, she stammered, "The first conference room on the left ahead."
The three-day pressure of solving the case made Li Jian involuntarily quicken his pace.
The conference room door was open, glancing inside at the doorway, Li Jian walked in.
The principal was taken aback; he looked up and said, "Li Jian, why are you here?"
"Looking for you!"
"Looking for me?"
The principal's face flashed red and white.
"We're having a normal meeting."
At this moment, Li Jian glanced at the attendees in the conference room, a smile tugging at his lips.
Many of these people were ones he had interacted with during the initial surveys; Li Jian remembered them.
"Many of you here were Li Rui's teachers when she was alive. Coincidentally, I intend to talk with you."
"The quiet conference room suddenly became a bit noisy."
Many people's faces looked a bit grim.
Li Jian said, "Everyone, don't be afraid, we're just making normal inquiries. As long as you cooperate actively, I promise you can finish on time."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Jian felt the direction of the investigation was correct.
The principal personally presided over the meeting and gave extra attention to some teachers.
This kind of treatment is uncommon.
As the saying goes!
There must be something odd when things go awry.
There must be something in their hearts.
Then, Li Jian said, "Please, principal, cooperate and support us."
"Of course! Absolutely!"
The principal's bald head glistened with a slight sheen of sweat.
"Everyone, please remain seated here, do not converse privately. Principal, please find us a small office for individual interviews."
The principal rubbed his bald head and said, "If you don't mind, you can use my personal office."
"The principal's office!"
Li Jian's lips curled as he said, "We surely don't mind!"
Throughout the process, Jiang An was observing everyone's expressions.
He had studied forensic psychiatry, criminal psychology at university.
Watching everyone's reactions, Jiang An had already identified a breakthrough target.
