Section 35: The Truth of the Shadow Part 2

"Why didn't you tell these things earlier!" Jin Xiaoyu was a little annoyed, "This will mislead the direction of the permitted reconnaissance and waste manpower! Don't forget that the projector is not missing yet!"

The "ghost incident on West Third Alley of Guanghua Road" has been solved, but there is still no conclusion as to where the dark shadow on the campus came from. Cheng Bengang said that he was not wandering around the campus in the middle of the night at all.

"I understand the discipline in the school. After dark, there is a curfew. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to leave the dormitory and walk around at will."

"So, the dark shadow on campus was not you?" Jin Xiaoyu felt deeply powerless.

"Indeed not." Cheng Bengang said, "Then I came two or three times, always coming in through the school gate. Then my wound became inflamed a few days ago, so Jing Chu helped me beg Chief Xiang to let me live in the school.

Come here for treatment..."

Obviously, there is really no need for him to wander around the campus after dark. Even if he wants to fall in love with Jing Chu at night, he can just meet in the front yard of the dormitory. There is no need to sneak around the campus.

The dark shadow on this campus is obviously someone else.

Early the next morning, Xiang Yu quickly sent someone to Xuancheng's place to explain the relevant situation.

This destroyed more than half of Xu Xu's enthusiasm. Because just now, the health center made an identification result overnight, and the black dirt on the bamboo thorns was indeed human blood. He was very excited, and originally planned to use this breakthrough to dig deeper.

Going down, I didn’t expect that now I’m completely stuck.

What's even more funny is that the "ghost" who was stabbed and attempted to climb over the wall was actually his own subordinate, which really made Xu Xu feel like he was laughing and laughing.

He immediately rushed to the school and first scolded Cheng Bengang, saying that he was "unorganized and undisciplined", and then, without naming names, he said that some elders had "weak management awareness" and "all systems are in name only."

Xiang Yu naturally had no choice but to apologize.

After he finished venting, he got to the point.

"Although the haunting incident in West Third Alley of Guanghua Road has been solved, the case is still unsolved. However, yesterday's exploration still allowed me to find some useful clues."

As he spoke, he recounted what he had found on the fence and the scratch marks on the key.

Taking all of this into account, the way the black shadow on the campus entered the school should be through the gap where the bamboo thorn was cut. This person should have entered the school through this gap more than once.

"...Unfortunately, the blood stains on the bamboo thorns belong to Cheng Benzang, so this clue is considered useless. However, the chopped bamboo thorns indicate that besides him, someone else has climbed over the bamboo fence. It's just that he is better than you.

Be smarter - don't you think so?"

Cheng Bengang quickly stood up and said: "Yes, criminals are indeed smarter than me!"

"I hope you are smarter than criminals. Tell me what you think?"

Cheng Bengang hesitated and said: "My opinion is that there should be some traces left where the spikes were cut off. I suggest you search within a distance of fifty meters below the fence to see if there are any traces or residues. Then.

Based on the location of the gap, speculate on the possible routes he may take after entering the campus, and search along these possible routes..."

Xu Xu nodded. Although it is likely that nothing will be found, this idea is correct. Even if no useful traces or evidence can be found, the path of the black shadow after entering the campus can be roughly inferred, thereby expanding the scope of the search.

Then, the question arises. How did "Sombra" get the key?

This is always an unexplainable problem. Xu Xu believes that the biggest suspect now is Jing Chu. The strange traces on the spare key indicate that the black shadow should have obtained the key and done something. The key box where the spare key is stored

, but only Jing Chu can open it.

Of course, Cheng Benzang is also highly suspicious. Considering his relationship with Jing Chu, it is not difficult to get the small key to the key box. However, the permission here encounters another logical problem. Both Cheng Benzang and Jing Chu can have direct contact.

Why go to all the trouble to get a spare key when you have the key to the storage room?

He still hasn't figured this out yet.

But this did not eliminate the suspicion of the couple. He decided not to disclose the relevant details of the case to everyone at the National School, including Xiang Yu.

Before leaving, Jin Xiaoyu suggested that Wei Bachi should be notified immediately to conduct a large-scale search throughout Kaohsiung.

"...Since it is deduced that it is likely to be an accidental theft, the thief will probably throw away the thing. Even if he does not throw it away, he will throw away the machine under our pressure, so that he may be able to find it back..."

Xu Xu shook his head: "To be honest, if I were a thief and found that the treasure of the Senate was stolen by mistake, but it was not gold and silver, what do you think I would do?"

"Send it to the government to receive a reward?"

"The government doesn't even know what a projector is." Xu Xu smiled bitterly, "Let me tell you, the most likely way to dispose of it is to throw it directly into the sea to destroy the body and eliminate all traces!"

"You mean..." Both Jin Xiaoyu and Xiang Yu became nervous now. Neither of them had thought of this.

"I don't want to spoil the fun. But a pessimistic estimate is that the projector has probably been destroyed by thieves." Xu Xu said, "What we can do now is to catch the criminal as soon as possible, or at least know where the projector is.

Maybe we can recover some losses.”

After leaving the national school, Quan made a special trip to the Kaohsiung Machinery Factory. Because Kaohsiung has a naval base and needs to maintain and repair ships, a machinery factory was set up and many skilled workers were stationed. There was also a veteran, Xiao Gui, as a technician.

Guidance. Show him the key with permission and ask him to identify what caused the marks on it.

Xiao Gui took one look and said: "This is the mark of the clamp."

"Jig?"

"Yes, when you do machining, you have to fix the relevant parts with fixtures before processing."

"But this is a key..."

"Keys are also machined. Have you never seen a machine that makes keys? Clamp your key on the clamp, clamp the key blank on the other side, and then follow the same gourd operation and it will come out..."

"So this key has been used as a key?"

"It must be." Xiao Gui said, "This key is quite new. Even the key teeth have these burrs. It should have been matched not long ago..."

"Wait, you mean this key is new?"

"Of course it's new." Xiao Gui said, "Look at the burrs on the key, it means it hasn't been used much..."

"It was originally a spare key. Of course it was never used."

"Look at the stubble on the key teeth, it's still shiny. If it were an old key, it would have been oxidized and discolored. The stubble on this key is still shiny, it's definitely a new one!"

This was a major discovery. Xu Xu thought that the fact that the key was newly matched could explain why the red coil was removed and then tied back on, because this was not the original key at all!

"But there is no key dispensing machine in Kaohsiung right now. How do you get it?"

"Ah? You mean the origin of this key is unknown?" Xiao Gui was a little surprised.

"Yes, this matter involves a big case, but the specific details of the case must be kept secret at the moment..."

"Yes, yes, I won't ask." Xiao Gui took the key and looked at it carefully, "You don't need a machine to match the key. You just need some manual skills in machining and a few simple tools. It's not difficult.

I can make one by hand right now for you to see. The machine just makes this industry stupid."

He looked over it over and over, and then said: "Let me tell you another clue. This key is not worthy of a ready-made key embryo. Although it is very simple, this person's skills are pretty good."

"So it should be workers in the factory, such as fitters..."

"No, no, our fitter here doesn't have such bad skills. He is a layman." Xiao Gui said, "My comment may not be right. To be precise, he has not received systematic fitter training, but it will be similar.

It uses traditional craftsmanship and has access to the production line of the factory - the material for this key blank is made from materials in the factory."

Xu Gui felt like he had found a treasure. Xiao Gui's analysis gave him a brand new clue: the black shadow could contact the factory--it was only the Kaohsiung Machinery Factory.

"I have to ask you something." Xu Xu said, "I want to conduct an investigation on the workers in the machinery factory and those who have access to the factory."

Xiao Gui promised to assist and provided a list of metal processing workers in the machinery factory and their resumes for screening. After getting the list, Xiao Gui immediately rushed back to the office to arrange the investigation work.

Now the case is roughly clear. Based on the current situation, he has accurately grasped several key points.

First, the black shadow climbed over the fence of the third box on the west side of Guanghua Road to enter the national school, and entered and exited the school through this place more than once. Second, the black shadow or someone around the black shadow had access to the machinery factory and had certain control over it.

The metalworking skills. Third, Black Shadow obtained the spare key through some means, and equipped another one to "Li Dai Tao Zang".

As for why they do this, the motive is easy to understand: the opportunity to commit theft is not always there, you have to have the right opportunity. The black shadows have been witnessed on campus many times, which proves that they have tried more than once. So they cannot directly

To steal a key, you must pretend that the key is still there. Obviously, they know that the spare key is not often used, so they boldly replace the old key with a new one. However, this may also indicate their skill in the person who matches the key.

I didn't feel at ease, so I took away the original key.

However, he still had many questions that he didn't understand. The most critical question was how Black Shadow obtained the spare key. He had repeatedly confirmed that only Jing Chu had the key to the key box. In other words, in terms of the key, Jing Chu

He and Cheng Benzhi are the biggest suspects.
