The first thing Xia Lan did when she opened her eyes was to look at the other side of the bed.

After returning to the room last night, Xia Lan just hugged Sun Yu and he fell asleep.

As an agent, Xia Lan had many ways to verify whether others were pretending to sleep. What she didn't expect was that Sun Yu actually fell asleep.

This kind of skill of sleeping in bed is not something ordinary people can practice.

What Xia Lan didn't know was that Sun Yu got up at five o'clock yesterday to exercise. The sudden adjustment of his biological clock and the strenuous exercise made him very sleepy, so he accidentally fell asleep while lying on the bed.

Sun Yu beside the pillow had disappeared. Xia Lan sat up and found that Sun Yu was sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating like an old Taoist priest.

"Master Sun?" Xia Lan smiled angrily, "Where are you practicing?"

"It's just breath adjustment!" Sun Yu said slowly with his eyes closed.

Do you go to bed just to get up early to meditate?

Thinking about the lustful looks in the eyes of the men in the gang last night, Xia Lan began to doubt Sun Yu's ability.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Xia Lan raised a pillow and threw it at Sun Yu. Sun Yu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly slapped the pillow away with a big hand.

Xia Lan was about to smash the second pillow when her cell phone rang. It was a call from Zhang Yao.

When Xia Lan called on Sunday morning, she knew something must have happened.

After answering the phone, Zhang Yao's words were simple and clear, "Team Xia, a floating corpse was found in the artificial lake behind the University of Finance and Economics."

Hearing these familiar words, Xia Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at Sun Yu. Sun Yu, who had been "cultivating immortality" with his eyes closed, was also looking at her with wide eyes.

In his eyes, there was a hint of panic that was difficult to conceal.

······

When Xia Lan and Sun Yu rushed to the scene of the crime, the lakeside in the back mountain was already crowded with students.

These students were in groups, many of them were whispering, and seemed to be discussing the floating corpse in the lake.

A feeling of loss quietly came to his mind. There was a scene like this eight years ago. At that time, he and Xia Yuanfei were just spectators by the lake.

Tianlun Hotel is less than three kilometers away from the University of Finance and Economics. Sun Yu and Xia Lan were the first to arrive. There were two policemen in police uniforms on the bridge of the artificial lake.

There were three other people standing next to them, two men and one woman, who were arguing fiercely with the two policemen.

After showing his ID, Xia Lan took Sun Yu and bypassed the school security guards and came to the five people.

The two policemen glanced at Xia Lan's ID card pinned to her chest and immediately saluted Xia Lan. One of them said, "Police officer Zhang Hao from Nanda University Town Community Police Station."

"Xia Lan, Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Mengshan City Public Security Bureau."

Upon hearing Xia Lan's self-introduction, one of the three young men's eyes lit up, he looked at Xia Lan excitedly, and then saluted.

"Team Xia, I am Mingyang from Class 1 of the Criminal Investigation Major of the Public Security University. I reported the case."

Xia Lan frowned and looked at Zhang Hao in confusion. She originally thought that Zhang Hao discovered the problem and reported it to the police.

Zhang Hao smiled awkwardly, looking embarrassed.

It turned out that the body was discovered by students who were jogging in the morning. After discovering it, they called the police.

When Zhang Hao and others came out from the police, there were already many students nearby. Their bodies were in the lake, and their clothes were intact. From a distance, they looked like they had been drowned.

According to common experience, the deceased should have fallen into the water or committed suicide, so Zhang Hao decided to fish the body out.

But when he was about to salvage, Mingyang suddenly appeared with two classmates and stopped the security guards who were assisting in the salvage. He also said that the cause of death was homicide and that salvaging the body would destroy the evidence.

Once they heard that evidence would be destroyed, the security guards naturally did not dare to do it. Zhang Hao originally planned to do it himself, but Mingyang called the police directly.

The call he made was from the Sanjiang Provincial Special Case Team. After the special case team was established, an alarm number was indeed disclosed to the outside world.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao glared at Mingyang again, obviously thinking he was joking.

The body was still on the water under the bridge. Sun Yu stuck his head out and looked at the body under the bridge, and his eyes finally fell on the right hand of the body.

"Have you found the broken nail?" Sun Yu suddenly asked Mingyang.

Mingyang had already organized his words in his mind, and wanted to slap the nagging policeman in the face with his impeccable reasoning, but when Sun Yu suddenly asked, he was stunned.

"Uh?" Mingyang nodded.

Xia Lan also saw broken nails on the middle finger and ring finger of the corpse's right hand. Looking at the other fingers, the deceased had done manicure, so the nails were relatively long and the signs of breakage were obvious.

"The fingernails were broken and there were obvious signs of struggle. If he slipped and fell from the lake, there shouldn't be such traces, so it was most likely on the bridge.

When he fell from the bridge, the deceased instinctively grabbed something and broke his nails in the process. This also ruled out the possibility of suicide, because suicide would not involve such an action.

There are railings on the bridge, making it almost impossible to slip and fall, so you suspect that someone pushed the deceased off the bridge."

Xia Lan analyzed a few sentences lightly, and her eyes fell on Mingyang.

Mingyang nodded quickly. Interpol Captain Xia Lan was the most famous person in the Public Security University recently. He was at the top of his game both in terms of appearance and ability to solve crimes.

Mingyang pointed to the railing five meters away, "I saw broken nails there, but I didn't go close for fear of damaging the scene."

The position Mingyang was talking about was blocked by two of his classmates with their bodies.

"Not bad!" Xia Lan praised Mingyang, and then walked over there, "You can't collect footprints on this kind of ground, so there is no need to protect it."

Mingyang was originally happy when he heard Xia Lan's praise, but when he heard the next sentence, Mingyang retracted his smile in embarrassment.

Sun Yu glanced at the broken armor decorated with blue crystals on the ground, and then began to look for possible scratches on the railings.

Finally, Sun Yu found suspected scratches on the outside of the second railing.

Snap!

Sun Yu lit a cigarette and waved his hand to Mingyang, "It's most likely that he fell from here. He grabbed a handful of railings before he fell. He didn't catch it. What do you think?"

"An acquaintance committed the crime!" Mingyang immediately gave his judgment, "Although there were not many lights in the back mountain, the moonlight was still good last night. The deceased would have been able to notice it when he was walking on the bridge and no one was following him.

If it were a stranger, the deceased would not give him a chance to get close in that environment, and even if he got close, there would definitely be signs of a struggle.

There is no autopsy report, but judging from the appearance of the deceased, there should be no fight. So I think the murderer was an acquaintance, and the other party attacked suddenly, and the deceased was not prepared at all."

An acquaintance commits a crime, and there is a high possibility of killing someone in passion.

Sun Yu also commented in this way. In such a simple murder case, the murderer can be identified by just checking the interpersonal relationship.

Sun Yu glanced at Mingyang again. This young man had a bright mind and used what he usually learned. In time, he would be a good policeman.
