Xiao Wentai turned to Ran Wei and smiled slightly, saying, "So it's obvious now, the 'Ran' in the diary refers to you, right? It seems the murderer is you!"
"Ridiculous!" Ran Wei retorted. "Just because I said in the diary that I wanted him to pay the price, does that prove I'm the murderer?"
"No, no, no! You've misunderstood! It's not that sentence, but a single word. In the original diary, the first word of the second entry is 'j,' which decodes to 'she.' Doesn't that correspond to your name, Ran Wei? This means that the murderer referred to by Sun Lang is you!" Xiao Wentai smiled, but his eyes were filled with anger.
Ran Wei's face slightly changed color, yet she continued to argue, "You're slandering me!"
"You know in your heart whether you're the murderer!" Xiao Wentai said. "Think about it—how could the murderer estimate the time so precisely? They anticipated that Sun Lang would return and had already laid in wait in this building to kill him. They also predicted that after killing Sun Lang, Feng Zitian would return and witness the scene, then orchestrated the body relocation trick.
Doesn't all of this seem like a scheme meticulously planned by Ran Wei? I think only you could pull something like this off!"
"You’re slandering me! Even the police suspect Jiao Tengyi; on what grounds do you suspect me?! Besides, how do you explain his disappearance? If he wasn't the murderer, he had no reason to flee!"
Ran Wei's face began to twitch slightly, her fists clenched tightly.
"I believe Jiao Tengyi hasn't fled; he’s already dead!" Xiao Wentai declared.
"What?!" Everyone gasped in shock.
"Jiao Tengyi went missing on New Year's Eve, but the murder occurred the next day! Isn't that strange?"
The owner of the restaurant where he worked said that he took a ride home that night, so his disappearance must have occurred on his way back.
Before I came here, I spent several hours online checking the route from Dongcheng District to Phoenix Student Dormitory. I found out that he could only have taken Bus 230 at that time.
However, Bus 230 does not stop right at the entrance of the Phoenix Apartment; the nearest stop should be Zheng Jiawan Station.
Zheng Jiawan Station is located to the north of the apartment, and there is quite a distance between the two places. But I noticed that both areas are suburban, and especially along the road between them, there are many small woods, which are almost deserted at night.
And I believe that no one could prove your whereabouts on the night before New Year's Eve!”
“Hmph, what’s wrong with me wandering outside the school alone that night?” Ran Wei said.
“Of course there’s nothing wrong! But murder is another matter! I believe you arranged to meet Jiao Tengyi that night near Zheng Jiawan, then killed him and buried his body in a remote area where no one knows about, like in the woods.
Your plan was not very clever; it had many flaws. However, because of Jiao Tengyi's disappearance, the police didn’t consider you too much and turned their attention to him instead.
I think you must feel quite proud now, thinking no one would suspect you anymore. So your phone should still have the call records from that night with Jiao Tengyi. And that is the strongest evidence!
So, do you dare to take out your phone and check?” Xiao Wentai had now cornered Ran Wei into a dead end.
At this moment, Ran Wei had a gleaming fruit knife in his hand.
He yanked Fang Kehui over and pressed the knife against her neck, shouting, “Don’t come any closer! Otherwise, I’ll kill her! After all, I already owe two lives; what’s one more?”
Fang Keyu shouted anxiously, "Let go of my sister!"
Xiao Wentai patted his forehead and said sadly, "Why do all the villains like to struggle uselessly at the end of the story?"
At this moment, Fang Keyu was already in a panic. His family's martial arts technique, the Fang Family Capturing Hand, was of no use here. He could only plead with Xiao Wentai, "Wentai, please save my sister!"
"I don't know any martial arts. How can I save her? You should handle it yourself! Or hurry up and call the police!"
Xiao Wentai babbled nonsensically, but secretly pulled a coin from his pocket.
Suddenly, with lightning speed, he launched the coin, hitting Ran Wei squarely in the forehead! Ran Wei immediately collapsed to the ground.
Fang Keyu let out a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect you to be this capable! I underestimated you before!"
Fang Kehui looked at the fallen Ran Wei with a grateful expression and asked, "He won't be dead, will he?"
"He won't die! He's just unconscious!" Xiao Wentai said with a smile as he looked at Fang Kehui. "Why are you concerned about him? You should be more worried about yourself!"
"Why should I worry about myself? I'm not injured."
"That's strange! I just risked my life for a grand hero's rescue. Don't you think you should repay me by dedicating yourself to me?"
