Detective Story: The "Suicide Man" on the Ferris Wheel (short detective story)

There was no recipient, no signature, and on the fragrant pink letterhead, there were only a few words: the stewardess handed the priest a glass of wine on the plane. The priest asked, "How high is it from the ground now?" "Twenty thousand feet." The priest smiled and said, "I still don't drink it, it's too close to our headquarters heaven." "When I saw this joke, I couldn't help but think, if I died in a very high place, would I be able to reach heaven faster?"

This inexplicable letter inexplicably appeared in the bag I carried, and I wondered for a long time.

Unsolicited letters, either love letters or threatening letters, a heaven and a hell. But this letter is crepe, it looks like a girl's diary... Or a suicide note! I suddenly had an ominous premonition.

The phone rang, it was Xiao Lin's phone. She hated not being able to drill through the microphone and jumped directly in front of me: "Teacher, Zhang Xiaochun is not seen, and he will not see it in the blink of an eye." ”

"What!" In fact, I heard this sentence clearly, but I didn't want to believe it.

"Teacher, Zhang Xiaochun dumped us, and 80% of them committed suicide again!"

"Hell! Didn't I let you guard her! I yelled out a dirty word.

I glanced at the suicide note roughly, "Zhang Xiaochun's words, is it thin and long?" ”

"Yes! Skinny, not full! ”

Sure enough, it was her suicide note.

Don't die! I shed blood and tears in my heart, she has been to heaven for a hundred years, and I will definitely go to hell in the next life.

The Dehong High School, where I teach, is the best girls' high school in the area, and the Class 248 I just took over is the famous death class of the whole school - rumors say that this class has been cursed and must change a class teacher every year. A month ago, due to Zhang Xiaochun's mistake in chemistry class, the popular class leader died unexpectedly. In order to maintain its reputation, the school suppressed this matter, but sent the class teacher at the time to study and carry out toilet hygiene.

At that time, everyone was relieved, thinking that a class teacher had finally met this year's quota, but they did not expect to fly two weeks later. After the incident, Zhang Xiaochun was isolated by his classmates and believed that he should be responsible for the death of the class leader. Unable to bear the pressure, she committed suicide by cutting her veins on the roof of her dormitory. Fortunately, I had no experience for the first time, and I rescued it in time. There was no way, the school gritted its teeth, and hid it again, only the poor seat had not yet sat on the hot new class teacher to learn Jiao Yulu and went to the Great Northwest.

Because I was right in the eye with the principal at the conference, he sent me here to be the third class teacher. I was begging the Buddha to burn incense, and I went to work with full armament, just in time to meet Zhang Xiaochun who was cured of illness and discharged from the hospital. She received 7 days of psychological counseling and finally came out of the haze and returned to the sunshine. After she vowed never to take her life lightly, I let her participate in tonight's playground group event. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the suicide note was delivered to me, and the person may be flying to heaven.

"Teacher, what now?" Xiao Lin's questioning interrupted my recollection of the past.

"Where did she disappear?"

"Women's toilet."

"Where's the women's restroom." Unable to grasp the main point is a common disease of women.

"West End, right next to the carousel."

I looked to the west, and the stars were all of our students—the school's new uniform, with yellow fluorescent stripes on the upper body, could be seen from a distance, even at night.

My gaze swept from near to far, sweeping past roller coasters, carousels, sky bikes, and then, seeing the Ferris wheel.

The huge wheels, more than thirty meters high, silently towering over the top of the mountain, are the highest points of the playground.

"If I die in a very high place, will I be able to reach heaven faster?" I pulled out my leg and ran toward the Ferris wheel, close to heaven.

There was a kilometer-long line in front of the roller coaster; on the carousel, each horse carried at least two people; and the air bike drove right above my head, and the people on it chirped and laughed like songs; only in front of the Ferris wheel, scattered and scattered.

There was almost no one in line, and I jumped under the Ferris wheel at once.

"What's the rush?" The administrator was not happy.

"I'm a teacher." I gestured for the id card on my chest.

"Teachers should line up and be an example!"

I wanted to explain, but it was too late. Nothing need be said. The sound of collisions came from above. Looking up, I found a black shadow crashing into the bracket of the Ferris wheel, and then bounced to the platform on our side.

I jerked the caretaker, and in an instant, the object slammed into the spot where he had just stood.

Blood splattered. When she looked again, she was already in front of her: long hair, yellow fluorescent stripes on her upper dress, a long skirt stained with blood, the corpse of a girl. Although her face was already miserable, her wrists were still wrapped in bandages, informing her of her identity. The people around me scrambled to escape, but I fell to my knees weakly. I thought she wouldn't kill herself, so I asked her to participate in this event. I felt that her eyes looked bright enough. However, I was wrong. I let her board the Ferris wheel and brought her close to heaven. She died in front of me, and my whole body was covered with Zhang Xiaochun's blood.

I was thrown out of the door by the principal, and I didn't even talk about people with gifts.

However, he spoke politely, and vigorously demanded that he not disclose it before the change of office, and suppressed the rumors. Indeed, if this were exposed, previous deaths could have been dug up. That's more than just something I can solve by laying off a job alone.

Alas, Zhang Xiaochun, you are going to heaven, but you can take us to hell. I sat on the ground with my hands on my head in distress. My hands had been washed many times, and my skin had turned white, but the smell of blood was still strong.

Zhang Xiaochun, who died on a high place, may not be able to enter heaven. What's more, you didn't die at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, you jumped down and fell to the ground. You are dead on earth. If you really want to say it, only the first suicide, cutting the vein on the roof, is considered to be dead in a high place.

　　Cut the veins! I think of Zhang Xiaochun's wrist still wrapped in bandages, can she write? Can she still write fluently as usual? I remember Zhang Xiaochun's signature when he returned to school, crooked and twisted. And the handwriting of the suicide note is very neat. This suicide note is the same as Zhang Xiaochun's handwriting before cutting her veins, so it can only be written before she cuts her veins.

Thinking back to her first suicide, there is a doubt that has not been solved. Zhang Xiaochun confessed that he left a suicide note on the table before committing suicide, but we never found a suicide note.

Someone secretly hid the suicide note! Now it seems that the person hid the suicide note at that time, the purpose is obvious, she wants to delay the time when Zhang Xiaochun's suicide is discovered, and increase the possibility of successful suicide.

The man wanted Zhang Xiaochun to die. However, Zhang Xiaochun was rescued and did not want to commit suicide. So the suicide note came in handy again. The man sneaked the suicide note into my bag, and then managed to push Zhang Xiaochun off the Ferris wheel.

Zhang Xiaochun was murdered, not committed suicide. I suddenly felt that the smell of blood on my hands was much stronger.

If Zhang Xiaochun was pushed off the Ferris wheel to death, then the murderer was the person who was in the same cabin as her. After work the next day, I went to the ferris wheel at the playground to look for clues.

The blood on the cement floor had been cleared and it was not visible that anyone had died here. The Ferris wheel is a giant wheel with a lot of small cabins hanging on it. The Ferris wheel spins and takes the cabin to the heights. Looking up, there is no light on the Ferris wheel that is more than 30 meters high, and the outline cannot be seen clearly at a height of several meters.

"Are you sitting?" The administrator was a little impatient, and he pushed me on the shoulder, which recognized me.

"It's you!" He was kind, and he remembered that I had saved his life last night.

"Yes, I sit." I nodded.

Exactly one cabin rotates in front of the caretaker. He opened the hatch and looked inside first: "Nobody. Please come in. ”

The cabin is small, a meter square space, next to a tin stool made, there is no place to hide. I bent down and sat in.

The administrator closes the door and the latch locks automatically. In this way, I was locked back in the cabin. So how did the murderer open the hatch?

I noticed that the hatch was not tightly closed, there was a small slit. I pulled out the Swiss Army knife I had with me, flicked it, and the latch jumped out. The hatch squeaked open and the cold night breeze poured in.

The admin didn't find my violation. The cabin had been swung to the back of the control room, a corner that no one saw.

At this time, the cabin was already three or four meters high. Three minutes later, the cabin reached its highest point. I lay on the floor, my head bare, looking down below. At night, you can't see the people on the ground, only the dots of lights. I looked left and right, and there was no lighting in the cabin, so the left and right cabins were pitch black and I couldn't see what was going on inside.

If someone in the cabin had pushed Zhang Xiaochun down that day, no one would have seen it.

There were no signs of fighting on Zhang Xiaochun's body. The murderer is likely to sneak up on Zhang Xiaochun in the cabin, knock him unconscious, and throw him down. Zhang Xiaochun would hit the pole of the Ferris wheel in the air, so no one doubted why she had multiple wounds on her head.

Except for me who found out that Zhang Xiaochun could not write that suicide note.

After coming down, I immediately went to the administrator and showed him a photo of Xiao Chun. It was taken when she was in school, and she smiled happily in the photo: "Do you remember who this girl climbed the Ferris wheel with that night?" ”

The administrator shook his head, "Then I don't know who is who?" Last night was all such students, long hair, yellow striped school uniforms, dressed up almost the same. However, most are one cabin per person. ”

I retreated: "Were there two people sitting in the same cabin a few minutes before the accident yesterday?" ”

"There's a pair!" The administrator nodded emphatically, "There's only one pair, just a few minutes before the accident." ”

"That's good!" I got excited. "What do those two people look like?"

"It's the students at your school!" I remember it very clearly. They didn't know what was happening, and the two laughing men walked out of the cabin and were frightened and screamed by the corpse. ”

"Both of them are down?" I frowned in disappointment.

"Two up, of course two down." The administrator looked at me with strange eyes.

The situation in front of us is clear: one person or two people board the Ferris wheel cabin. Zhang Xiaochun will not be one of the two, because after the accident, the two people came out of the cabin together. But if Zhang Xiaochun boarded the Ferris wheel alone, then she committed suicide.

While contemplating, the mobile phone rang, and it was the principal's personal instructions: "Someone took a picture of Zhang Xiaochun falling from the Ferris wheel." Tomorrow the school will hold a reception, you speak as the class teacher, be sure to deny that photo! ”

I was in a cold sweat on my back. Heck, sooner or later this will come to light, and the principal is using me to procrastinate. After surviving the re-election period, deny my words and let me carry all the black pots.

I was the only one on the empty podium, and all the leaders were absent for some reason. The reporter poked the microphone of the long and short gun straight into the door of my head.

I gulped dryly, cleared my throat, picked up the newspaper with the photo, and told a lie out loud: "This is not a picture of suicide." ”

The reporter took this photo purely by accident. He was originally shooting the moonlight, but he just photographed Zhang Xiaochun at the moment when he fell from the Ferris wheel. Although vague, it was faintly visible that the Ferris wheel was approaching the top of the air, and there was an upside-down figure with its head down and its feet facing up.

Hearing this, the reporter below began to coax, "This is not a student who committed suicide, is it a UFO!" ”

I coughed awkwardly and picked up the school uniform that had been prepared. "You see, our uniforms are designed in the latest style. The upper body of the school uniform has a pronounced yellow fluorescent stripe. If this black shadow is our student, then why aren't there yellow stripes? ”

The venue was suddenly quiet. I was a little proud because it was an explanation that it took me all night to come up with.

At this time, a reporter stood up: "Please pay attention to the person in the photo, the head is down, the legs are up." "I had a chill in my heart and cried out.

"Then," the reporter said with a laugh, "ask this teacher to lift the school uniform upside down." ”

I had to do the same. Once the school uniform is lifted upside down, the long skirt on the lower body is reversed, covering the upper body cleanly, not to mention the yellow stripes. The venue exploded, apparently, and that was the explanation for the absence of yellow stripes.

I shouted and suppressed the noise: "Everyone, please see! ”

As soon as I let go, the high podium fell to the ground. During the fall, because of the air resistance, the skirt rises instead, and the yellow stripes are clearly revealed.

"Attention everyone!" Only then did I find the disguised principal hiding in the crowd, "If this photo captures the scene of Zhang Xiaochun's suicide and falls, it should have yellow stripes." But there is no photo, so this black shadow is not Zhang Xiaochun who committed suicide. ”

Condescendingly, I saw the headmaster smile, but his smile didn't last long.

"This black shadow is Zhang Xiaochun, who was murdered." I announced loudly, "This photo captures the murder of Zhang Xiaochun." ”

"If this photo is a scene of Zhang Xiaochun falling, the skirt will rise due to air resistance, and the yellow stripes will naturally appear." But there are no yellow stripes on the photo. This shows that at this time, Zhang Xiaochun did not fall, but stood still in the air. "I said my conclusion out loud," the photo captured, the scene where Zhang Xiaochun was suspended in the air. ”

The confrontation with the reporter just now inspired me. The truth is simple: Zhang Xiaochun did not board the cabin alone, nor did she board the cabin by two people, she did not board the cabin at all.

There must have been more than one murderer. Someone generously boarded the cabin in front of the caretaker. When the Ferris wheel spun for a moment and the cabin came out of the caretaker's field of vision, she threw the rope she had prepared in advance out of the open door. The rope is 5 meters, or longer, and can hang to the ground. The accomplices on the ground tied Zhang Xiaochun, who had been knocked unconscious, to a rope, and at the other end, it was firmly tied to the cabin. If the murderer had great strength, she would simply drag Zhang Xiaochun along the rope to the cabin. Anyway, as the Ferris wheel rotated, Zhang Xiaochun was hung by a rope and hoisted into the air nearly 30 meters high.

At this time, the reporter took the photo, and took the black shadow hanging upside down. When the cabin reached the highest point, the murderer cut the rope. Zhang Xiaochun fell to the ground and flew to heaven.

I don't know who the murderer is, but there will be a lot of people. First, someone had to stuff a disguised suicide note into my bag. Then, Zhang Xiaochun did not voluntarily commit suicide, and someone had to knock her unconscious and take her away from the people under surveillance—perhaps among the people who were monitoring, there were accomplices of the murderer. Secondly, someone must pretend to be Zhang Xiaochun and board the Ferris wheel alone. In the end, someone had to answer on the ground and tie the rope to Zhang Xiaochun's leg. What is chilling is that the process of Zhang Xiaochun hanging high in the air is difficult for people on the ground to find. But the people in the Ferris wheel cabin are easy to spot. According to the administrator, before the accident, the people who boarded the Ferris wheel were our students. Maybe they were all murderers, maybe they weren't directly involved in the murder, but they all watched Zhang Xiaochun being dumped into the air.

Those students, because of the class leader's affairs, all resented Zhang Xiaochun. They all want Zhang Xiaochun to commit suicide. Zhang Xiaochun's first suicide was the pressure of the whole class. Now Zhang Xiaochun did not want to commit suicide, so they would personally hang the noose around her neck.

The flash under the stage is still so dazzling. I lowered my head and looked at my hands. I don't know when, the pungent smell of blood has only a touch of fresh air.
