Chapter 130: An Unsolved Crime (4000-character chapter)
"I remember it was a cloudy day, and everyone trained as usual, and nothing strange happened in the middle." Coach Qiao's mental state improved a lot and his words were orderly. "After that was six o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone left, Rosie and the coach were left in the swimming pool to train alone, including me."
"Are you here too?" Chen Chong was a little surprised.
"Yes." Coach Qiao smiled bitterly, "If you say it more accurately, I am actually the one who leaves the latest every day. After all, I have to make a training plan for the next day in time based on the characteristics of different students. This is my habit and has been going on for many years."
"But why do you only mention you afterwards whether it is online information or asking someone for inquiries?" Chen Chong was confused.
"Because they don't know the truth." Coach Qiao sighed. "I have read the news online, but everyone has different opinions. After word of mouth, they have already deviated from the facts. In short, as long as it is not from the person involved, things will always be somewhat different."
Chen Chong nodded in agreement. Just like the statement about the trainer, it was said online that he went to the infirmary when he was sick, while Zhang Weiwei said that he went to the bathroom. In terms of credibility, Zhang Weiwei said it was naturally more accurate.
Of course, whether you go to the infirmary or the bathroom, it means that the sparring training is indeed not present.
Chen Chong didn't say anything, waiting for the following.
"Although I was in the swimming pool at that time, I was not in the swimming pool, but in my own office." Sure enough, Coach Qiao continued, "In addition to daily office supplies, the head coach's office also has a monitor to watch the students' training situation in all aspects. In other words, the monitoring in the swimming pool and the monitoring system of the entire school are independent. Of course, the monitoring is only for public areas."
"So, as long as you are in the office, you can see all the situation in the museum?" Chen Chong asked.
"Yes, I am the head coach, not the assistant coach. In such a large area, I can't notice the training situation at each point." Coach Qiao nodded, "So many times, I look for students' shortcomings by watching surveillance or surveillance replays, and then formulate corresponding training plans and hand them over to the assistant coach to implement."
"So what did you see at that time?" Chen Chong lifted his spirits.
"At that time, there were only two people in the swimming pool, Rosie and the coach. They rarely communicated. Most of the time, Rosie was proficient in the water with technical skills or endurance training, while the coach was on the shore to pay attention to the situation in the water."
Because the time was too long, Coach Qiao said that he would recall carefully in the previous paragraph, worried about ignoring the possible abnormalities. "Apart from that, there is no unusual thing until the end of the training."
"Hmm?" Chen Chong frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of the last sentence.
"Oh, you heard it right, it's true that the training is over." Coach Qiao sighed, "Swimming is an extremely physically consuming exercise. Even if Rosie has talent, she cannot overload training.
You should understand that when a person is tired, he is prone to training injuries, including cramps. So my hard requirement for her is that there is no problem with extending the training time, but it must not exceed one hour.
In other words, she only trains alone from six to seven every day, and this habit has never changed due to any emergencies! In fact, she has worked hard enough that there is no need to train alone."
Chen Chong also sighed. It is not difficult to see from the other party's expression and tone of speaking that he had high expectations for Luo Xi and deep love. He even felt deeply guilty between the lines.
"No wonder Zhang Weiwei was so bitter when she talked about this, because Coach Qiao blamed him for all of Rosie's death, which made him unable to get out of the haze, for fear that the same thing would happen to the next student." He thought.
"If Rosie finished training on time, why would she drowned in the pool?"
Upon hearing this, Coach Qiao also seemed very confused, and this confusion was mixed with a hint of fear. "At that time, I clearly saw her coming out of the swimming pool from the surveillance, and then took the towel handed over by the schooler, and went straight back to the locker room. As for the schooler, I covered my stomach and went to the bathroom."
"What's the matter?"
"And then damn it." Coach Qiao seemed to be excited and liked to slap the table. "If it weren't for that bastard courier, I would have been able to save Rosie in time!"
Chen Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he keenly captured an extremely critical word and saved it. Under what circumstances would this word be used to describe it?
That must be because he knows that the other party is in danger.
"No, don't get me wrong." Coach Qiao took a deep breath, saw Chen Chong's eyes look suspicious, and quickly explained, "This matter starts with the bastard express."
He gritted his teeth, "Just shortly after Rosie entered the locker room, I received a text message saying that a pair of leather shoes I bought online arrived and placed them in the faculty and staff dormitory building assigned to me by the school, and asked me to sign for it."
"So you went?"
"Oh, I'm going." Coach Qiao supported his forehead with both hands, "You said, is there really such a coincidence in this world?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Chong was puzzled.
"Students may be a little afraid of me because of my coaching status, but the teachers in the school know me very well. If there are still people in the swimming pool, I will never be able to leave!"
Chen Chong suddenly realized that the former meant that if he had not seen Rosie finish training and went to the locker room, he would not have left early. If the express delivery did not exist, even if he knew that Rosie finished training, he would have stayed in the office for a while.
In short, if there is no factor in this, he will stay in the office.
"It's hard to say whether it's a coincidence for the time being." Chen Chong's face was calm. It seemed that the old coach linked all abnormal things with dirty things, so he showed a look of fear.
It is no wonder that what happened to his daughter is the best proof. If a ghost really exists, then many things will have reasonable explanations.
But the problem is, Rosie's death was not because of a ghost, but because of a human!
As the saying goes, people know ghosts and terror, and ghosts know people's hearts and poisons. Just like the ghosts that have always existed in the food street, they appear in the real world through their respective media, but have not affected the trajectory of ordinary people.
"What's next?" he asked.
"After then" Coach Qiao's hands trembled violently, and the old man choked slightly at this time. "After then, I received the news of Rosie's death. When I rushed back to the swimming pool in a hurry, my student's body was cold!"
Chen Chong fell silent as the atmosphere between the court, as if he could feel the heart-wrenching pain of the old coach holding his beloved disciple's cold body.
Seeing this, Chen Chong was speechless. It had nothing to do with ghosts, right?
"Apart from these, is there anything special happening?" He was unwilling to give in and continued to ask.
"About me or Rosie?"
"Hmm?" Chen Chong frowned.
"I mean, if it's about Rosie's death, there's nothing. If it's about me, there's something." Coach Qiao muttered.
"What strange thing happened to you?" Chen Chong asked casually.
"It's not that express delivery yet." When talking about express delivery, Coach Qiao was very upset. "I searched in the dormitory building for a long time but didn't see the package. Later, because of Rosie's affairs, I forgot about it. As a result, the next day, I received a text message again, but it was a different number! Is it strange? "
Chen Chong frowned, "Will someone deliberately lead you away?"
"Ghost." Coach Qiao shivered. Only this dirty thing could inexplicably lead to Rosie's death.
Chen Chong was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's shocked look, and his mind was running rapidly.
"This is obviously a means by someone who deliberately sent off Coach Qiao, etc."
Suddenly, Chen Chong seemed to think of something and looked at the other party suddenly, "You said at the beginning, the express delivery information directly tells you that the package is a pair of shoes?"
"yes."
"Then did you really buy a pair of shoes?"
"Yes." Coach Qiao was confused.
"Then have you seen this ring?" Chen Chong spread his palms and displayed the platinum ring worn on his ring finger.
Since the person who supports Coach Qiao will talk about shoes, this person must know in advance that the former has bought shoes online! In other words, people who know what he has bought in his spare time must be familiar or people who are often in contact with! Therefore, Coach Qiao is likely to have seen the ring in his hand.
"I haven't seen it before."
However, Coach Qiao's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, causing Chen Chong to thrust the corners of his mouth, "Who did you mention to you that you bought shoes online?"
"This" Coach Qiao wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he couldn't stand Chen Chong's cold eyes and said, "To be honest, I rarely use smartphones. Online shopping basically ask others to help with it. Sometimes I call students, sometimes I call assistants. Anyway, I ask anyone who has time to help me, so I buy something, and it takes almost half an hour for everyone in the entire swimming pool to know."
Chen Chong suffocated his breath and completely retreated!
Although it can be judged from this passage that the murderer is a person inside the swimming pool, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to find a needle in a haystack.
"Roxi, Roxi, can't you give me something useful? For example, the murderer's photo, bank card, wallet, etc.? No matter how bad it is, you can give me a name!"
"What did you say?" Coach Qiao asked in confusion without hearing what he was muttering.
"Nothing." Chen Chong took a deep breath and looked at the time. It was almost 1:00 a.m., and there were a few more messages on the screen of his mobile phone, from the Ice Corpse, saying that it was because he could not go out, so he asked Fang Yongshun to help clean up the stool and the blackboard, and then asked himself what to go back.
As for other fancy words, I don’t want to explain them too much, it’s nothing more than all kinds of flattery.
