The course examination required them to find the real murderer within 5 days, and Yue Xingwen’s team had already found the real murderer, it was Zhao Cheng who fell into the river. There was definitely no problem in getting a passing score in the exam. However, about the murderer’s way of committing the crime and whether Liu Lan was involved, everyone only had a theoretical speculation but not certain, and stronger evidence must be found.
Although there was no additional question in this course, the process of reasoning would definitely affect the final score. Yue Xingwen suggested, “There is still one day left before the end of the exam, should we ask for verification again and find out the murderer’s modus operandi?”
Lan Yarong said, “If you suspect that Liu Lan has deleted the call record, you can only go to the mobile business hall to verify. She only has this call recording at 11:30 pm on her mobile phone. If she still calls her husband after this call, it means that she may induce her husband to climb onto the roof.”
Jiang Pingce asked, “Can you find out the detailed content of voice chat?”
Lan Yarong shook her head and said, “The operator will only keep call records, in other words, who you called, how many minutes you called, and who you answered… The specific call content, unless the police monitor and eavesdrop on a person’s phone in advance, otherwise, there is no way to find out after the investigation.”
Thinking about it, there were so many people calling every day across the country, and some couples could chat for two or three hours at a time, and it was impossible for operations to retain all the call content. It was indeed too difficult to find out what Liu Lan specifically said.
However, if they could find her call record with the other, such as the traces she contacted Zhao Cheng and Qin Shiyin, their speculation that ‘Liu Lan assisted behind the scenes’ had more evidence, which should be able to raise the score of this examination.
stronger Jiang Pingce took Yue Xingwen to the Telecom Business Hall to find the call records of Zhao Cheng, Qin Shiyin, Zhou Ziyang and Liu Lan on the grounds of investigating criminal cases.
The record showed that at 11:30 pm on the day of the crime, Zhou Ziyang called Liu Lan and called for 5 minutes, and the content of this part of the call was recorded in Liu Lan’s mobile phone, and the police also listened to it, and there was no doubt.
Immediately after, at 11:40 pm, Liu Lan called back to Zhou Ziyang, and the call time was only half a minute.
What she said after calling back to Zhou Ziyang, no one knew, even if they asked her, she would not admit that she induced Zhou Ziyang to go to the rooftop. She could say that she called back and scolded the scumbag. Just looking at the call records was not enough to convict her.
Moreover, Liu Lan had never contacted Qin Shiyin and Zhao Cheng in her call records in the past year. There was also very little contact with Zhou Ziyang, and the most she had contact with was the psychologist and her son’s primary school class teacher, and there was no doubt.
Jiang Pingce found the call records of Qin Shiyin and Zhao Cheng and found that since September last year, the father and daughter had often spoken to a number. The number was marked ‘Sister Ning’, and the real-name authentication of the number was a 40-year-old middle-aged woman.
Last September, it was the day that Liu Lan and Qin Shiyin went to the hospital’s psychology department together.
Qin Shiyin was patient no. 4 that day, she went to see a doctor first. Liu Lan was waiting outside, probably saw the name ‘Qin Shiyin’, recognized the other party as the victim of Shen Haibin’s case that year, so she approached the other party under a pseudonym.
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “This person with the pseudonym ‘Sister Ning’ is likely to be Liu Lan. She bought a phone number and used a fake identity to contact Qin Shiyin and her father. Her call records with Qin Shiyin are very frequent, and she has repeatedly coincided with the time when Qin Shiyin went to the hospital to see a doctor. She should have been concerned about Qin Shiyin’s condition and helped Qin Shiyin do psychological counseling.”
Jiang Pingce also checked the base station where ‘Sister Ning’s’ mobile phone signal had appeared—— It was near the Xinghai Building.
However, because the signal base station covered office buildings, apartment buildings and three large residential buildings nearby, as well as schools and a large number of shops, the range was too large to pinpoint the specific location of the signal.
Yue Xingwen frowned and said, “No matter how we investigate, Liu Lan has not directly participated in the process of committing the crime. Even if she reveals some information about Zhou Ziyang to Zhao Cheng, it does not constitute a condition for direct homicide or indirect homicide. Zhao Cheng wanted revenge himself, did it himself, and sent an email to confess his sin. Judging from the email, Lawyer Zhou’s affairs have plagued him for many years, and he just wanted to seek relief. This case, if we continue to investigate, we can’t change the result.”
Jiang Pingce nodded and said, “En, the police need evidence to arrest people. We can’t arrest Liu Lan because we suspect that she has a connection with the murderer. Find out the murderer, and we will complete the examination.”
Both of them returned to Zhang Xiaonian’s residence and told their teammates the results of the call records.

Every time he came out of the library’s course, Yue Xingwen’s mood was difficult to describe, including the previous Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Biological Science, and every course seemed to tell them some information.
Students from other faculties would understand the knowledge of the current faculty during the examination, and they would also gain and perceive. The Faculty of Law this time was more obvious, it was almost like a ‘negative example’ to make everyone think seriously.
Yue Xingwen always felt that the meaning of the library’s existence was not as simple as catching a group of University students to play stimulating games.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, “Prepare to leave the examination room, the next course is waiting for us.”
Everyone gathered together until 00:00 am, and a familiar prompt popped up in the hoverbox in everyone’s upper right corner——
Research Group: C-183
Course: The Death of a Lawyer
Credit: 4
Clearance Score: 95 points
Final Point: 4×95 = 380 points
Research Group Bonus: Group C points bonus x 1.5 times. The final point is 570 points
Course Failure Rate: 35%
The clearance score of 95 points made everyone very satisfied, indicating that their reasoning process was basically correct. There were rarely full scores in reasoning class, after all, they still had some minor problems that could be solved perfectly.
The scene flashed in front of them, and everyone returned to the familiar library.
When Yue Xingwen walked out the door, he happened to meet the A-76 team coming out of the opposite classroom, and Yu Mingyu, the captain of Kyoto University, had a somewhat ugly face. In order to pass the examination, they also borrowed a foreign aid from the Law Department from the University of Political Science and Law.
Zhuo Feng stepped forward with concern and asked, “Old Yu, how are the results of your examination?”
Yu Mingyu said, “The case is solved, but we were one step late, and only after Zhang Ronghua’s death did we check his connection with Lawyer Zhou. When we found the murderer, the murderer had already committed suicide by falling into the river, and the final score was relatively low, only getting 75 points.”
Yue Xingwen was stunned and asked, “On the night of the crime, didn’t you stare at the opposite Law Firm?”
Yu Mingyu: “We have been staring all the time, and when we see someone falling from the building, we hurry to find the body. But I don’t know where the problem is, I always feel that my reasoning is one step lower, and the time for investigation is particularly tight.”
Jiang Pingce said, “Didn’t you pay attention to the elevator?”
Yu Mingyu was puzzled and asked, “What elevator?”
Yue Xingwen said, “After seeing the lawyer fall, several students living in the apartment building went downstairs to find the body. At that time they should have found that both elevators were parked on the 1st floor, which was inconsistent with the usual stop on the 17th floor, and it was obvious that someone had gone out. Checking the apartment monitoring, you can find Zhang Ronghua’s clue in advance, find out that the rich second-generation group behind him is related to Lawyer Zhou, and then find the case 5 years ago, Shen Haibin, Qin Shiyin and other key figures.”
Yu Mingyu’s face was full of surprise, the elevator stopped on the 1st floor or the 17th floor, he really didn’t pay attention to this detail!
However, it was this detail that implicated new clues. If he didn’t catch it, Zhang Ronghua’s line would not surface until the murderer killed him, and the reasoning would naturally be one step slower than the progress of the story.
Although they could eventually pass the examination, the clearance score would be very low.
Qin Lang, who came out of the classroom next to them sighed with emotion and said, “I don’t know that to say, the junior sister of our team’s Law Department don’t want to be a lawyer anymore, for fear of offending people and being retaliated by their families, *sigh*.”
Everyone was in a heavy mood.
Yue Xingwen took the initiative to enliven the atmosphere and said, “After the examination, everyone can go back to rest, there will be a second course tomorrow.”
Everyone went to the canteen for lunch and went back to the dormitory to sleep.
In the afternoon, everyone huddled in the dormitory. The compulsory course of the Faculty of Law was already making people go bald, and no one wanted to touch the Elective Course at all, waiting for the second Compulsory Course on Tuesday morning.
The next morning, Yue Xingwen took everyone to the Class Selection hall of the Faculty of Law on the 6th floor, went to the tablet and pressed the class selection button.
Familiar information popped up on the screen——
[Compulsory Course: Not Guilty Defense]
[Faculty: Faculty of Law]
[Credit: 5]
[Examination Room Rules: Maximum number of examinees in the examination room is 12 (excluding X-team member)]
[Course Description: Your client is charged with intentional homicide, and the evidence held by the police is very unfavorable to your client]
[Examination Requirements: defend your client and help your client clear the grievances. If the court’s judgment of the person is guilty, the examination fails. If the court’s judgment is not guilty, the examination passes. The specific score is related to the defense process. During the process of defense, you can apply for up to three adjournments to organize the clues.]
[Note: It’s recommended to include a teammate from the Law Department related majors. If you can’t find a professional teammate in the Law Department, you can apply for legal aid from the library and let the library help you arrange a defense lawyer]
[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]
[Need Library to Arrange Defense Lawyer: Yes/No]
Yue Xingwen looked back at Lan Yarong and said, “Senior sister, do you have experience in court defense?”
Lan Yarong frowned and said, “During my internship, I followed my teacher as an assistant, and I know the general flow. I think that if the library has a defense lawyer, it’s likely to pit us, it’s more reliable for us to do it ourselves.”
Thinking of Professor Tang in the Faculty of Biological Science who had been trying to pit them and give them the wrong way…
Yue Xingwen said decisively, “We’ll do it ourselves.”
The library arranged a defense lawyer to persuade the judge to take them to lie down and win? How could there be such a good thing?
Therefore, the second option should be an alternative for teams that really couldn’t find a Law Department’s teammate. Their 183 Research Group had senior sister Lan Yarong, and they didn’t need the library’s assistance lawyer.
Yue Xingwen quickly clicked yes, and then no.
A prompt sounded in his ears: “Congratulations to the C-183 Research Group on the successful course selection. The examination of the compulsory course <Not Guilty Defense> of the Faculty of Law is about to start. Please wait.”
At 8:00 am in the morning, everyone’s eyes flashed at the same time——
Yue Xingwen unexpectedly found that the surrounding environment was very familiar, with a floor-to-ceiling window, desks, and bookcases.
Was this Minghui Law Firm?
Yue Xingwen went out quickly, found the office next door according to his memory, and sure enough, he saw senior sister Lan and senior sister Manluo.
Lan Yarong got up and said, “The three of us are still in the Law Firm. What about the others?”
Yue Xingwen picked up his mobile phone and opened the address book. The new course examination had begun, and the numbers previously stored in the mobile phone were all cleared, but he remembered that Jiang Pingce’s phone number was 183765411XX, and immediately dialed the number in his memory.
After two beeps, Jiang Pingce’s deep voice came through the microphone, “Xingwen?”
Jiang Pingce also remembered Yue Xingwen’s phone number, and when he saw the caller ID, he guessed that it was from Xingwen.
Yue Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “The mobile phone number has not changed ah. Pingce, are you still a police officer?”
Jiang Pingce shook his head and replied, “No, there should be no members of our team in the police force this time. I am in the same school as Ke Shaobin and Qin Miao. Our identities are university students.”
Otherwise, they could control the progress of the investigation on the police side at any time. The prosecutor’s lawyer would sue their client for intentional homicide, and if they knew the evidence held by the police, the defense would be much easier.
Therefore, Jiang Pingce and the others were changed to the school with the status of students.
It seemed this time the case was related to the school?
Now loli sister will be boss in this game
