Volume One (Prequel): The Seventh Reader - Chapter 2: Investigation

Chen Bin is a middle-aged man in his forties. He served in the military and was then directly assigned to the People's Military Department of the Normal University after retirement. Later, he transferred to the Security Department and was promoted to director last year. Chen Bin has been working in the Security Department of the Normal University for over 10 years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. After receiving the police bureau's investigation of the scene, comforting the students, and reporting to the school leaders, he was very busy and stressed for the whole morning. Before he could catch his breath, he received a call from the Security Department, saying that the police had arrived. "Why did they just come now?" Chen Bin grumbled discontentedly and hurriedly rushed back to the Security Department.

A man of similar age sat at the table, looking exhausted. The criminal investigator from the city bureau who arrived earlier was briefing him on the scene investigation. The man kept his eyes down and listened expressionlessly. When he saw Chen Bin enter, he raised his eyes and nodded slightly as a greeting.

The first person to discover the body was Sun Qingdong, the leader of dormitory 351, a 21-year-old man from Henan. At around 1 am today, Sun Qingdong got up to go to the toilet. Half asleep, he seemed to see Zhou Jun, who had gone to the toilet around 11:30, squatting in the toilet. Sun Qingdong casually said, "You haven't finished yet? Aren't you afraid of prolapse?" and then went back to sleep in the dormitory. He slept soundly afterwards. At 5:30 in the morning, when Sun Qingdong got up for a jog and went to the toilet, he saw Zhou Jun still squatting in the toilet. Sun Qingdong was very surprised and walked up to pat Zhou Jun's head, but he got no response. He pushed him again, and Zhou Jun, in a stiff squatting position, fell forward. Sun Qingdong was so scared that he sat on the ground and ran downstairs to inform the dormitory administrator, Sun Mei, using both his hands and feet. Sun Mei did not touch the body and directly called the police.

After listening to the man's account, there was silence in the room for a while. Chen Bin cleared his throat and spoke, "We, as the school, feel extremely saddened by this unfortunate incident. We feel that our campus security work is not sufficient. The school president has instructed us to actively cooperate with the police department and solve the case as soon as possible." A cadre from the Security Department next to him hurriedly introduced, "This is our director, Chen Bin." Chen Bin nodded reservedly. The man looked at Chen Bin but still didn't say anything.
