Chapter 391: Chapter 391 - 391: Don’t Dig Into a Bullhead

When Yu Muhuai turned around, everyone took a step back as if they had been trained in advance.

Xu Xingzhou said softly, “Why don’t… Should we come again next time? Isn’t today’s focus to investigate the person who jumped off the building?”

Jiang Xuyan: “I couldn’t tell. Little Xu, you’re just like Sister Yingnan. You’re afraid of being scared…”

Yu Muhuai, whose hand had already touched the cabinet door, looked sideways. “Teacher Jiang, you’re bold. Why don’t you help me open the cabinet door?”

“No, 1 can’t.” Jiang Xuyan’s expression suddenly changed. “To be honest, I’m just like Sister Yingnan. I’m very scared.”

Everyone was speechless.

Yu Muhuai didn’t have any intention of making things difficult for anyone. As he held the door handle with both hands, he reminded, “Get ready. I’m going to start.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-gray iron cabinet door opened to everyone.

Yu Muhuai quickly took two steps back. Before he could see what was in the cabinet, Zhao Yingnan exclaimed.

Fortunately, before she could scream, Shu Ling covered her mouth.

Jiang Xuyan took a deep breath. If he didn’t hold the edge of the experiment table tightly, he might have screamed.

There were four human skulls neatly placed in the middle of the cabinet. Four pairs of empty eyes seemed to be staring at them. At first glance, it was indeed very scary.

On the upper and lower floors of the cabinet, there were some animal skeletons.

Behind these bones was a mirror that could clearly reflect everyone’s face.

There was nothing unusual about it.

“These four skulls are exactly the same. They should have been here for a long time.” Song Qingyou broke the silence. “Looks like the body wasn’t hidden here.”

Yu Muhuai hummed in acknowledgment and moved closer to the cabinet.

Seeing that he was not afraid, the others also took a few steps forward hesitantly.

Xu Xingzhou watched for a while and reminded him again,

“We only have 20 minutes, and we have to return the key. If we stay here any longer, we won’t be able to investigate any other places…”

“Xingzhou is right.” Jiang Xuyan didn’t want to stare at these eerie bones at all.” Let’s go?”

Yu Muhuai nodded. He turned around and wanted to ask everyone why there was a mirror on the back of the cabinet. When he saw that the group of people didn’t look surprised, he thought about it and shut up.

Shu Ling, who was walking at the back, took a few more glances at the skeleton in the cabinet, and then subconsciously looked at the fish tanks on both sides.

Three or four of those animal skeletons were of the same species.

The labels on the two fish tanks were the same.

“Giant salamander?”

Shu Ling muttered.

Zhao Yingnan, who was walking in front, couldn’t help but turn back. “Did you just speak?”

“No, I haven’t.” Shu Ling shook her head. “I just feel that this laboratory is strange. There are mannequins and skeletons in the food course.”

Zhao Yingnan said, “After all, it’s a biology and chemistry laboratory.”

“That makes sense.”

Shu Ling smiled.

She always felt that the production team would not casually display so many things related to the giant salamander unless there was a staff member who especially liked the giant salamander.

The salamander was so ugly, so it was impossible.

The group of people came out of the building where the laboratory was located and split up again.

This time, it was Yu Muhuai who had to return the key.

Zhao Yingnan and Xu Xingzhou were responsible for assisting.

The others waited in front of the nearest statue.

The fact that they had found blood on the sword of the sculpture had left a deep impression on everyone.

Thus, as soon as they arrived at the gathering point, Shu Ling started to look around.

The others couldn’t just wait around, so they followed suit and looked around.

After a while, Jiang Xu Yan saw that Shu Ling didn’t move and couldn’t help but ask,

“Shu Ling, did you discover something?”

Shu Ling didn’t respond. Yu Muhuai, who had just returned, looked over. Have you figured out how the sculpture killed people?”

“I have some ideas.”

Shu Ling stood up and looked at everyone.

“But is it really okay for me to say it like this? If there were more than one or two murderers among us, it… doesn’t look good?”

“If they could, they would have done it long ago.” Zhao Yingnan said,” Have you forgotten? Last night, Qingyou deduced that the teacher was poisoned.”

“That’s true-”

Shu Ling didn’t care anymore and simply pointed at the ground in front of the statue.

“Look carefully at this place. Are there any traces of it being dug up?”

Hearing this, the few of them lifted their feet to push away the fallen leaves and soon found something.

“Someone dug a hole here. Although they carefully covered it with the surrounding soil, they could still tell that something was wrong.”

“We already know that the statue can’t move, and it’s not filled with water. If we want the sword to pierce through the body, we have to first stuff the body under the sword tip. Since the sword tip is very close to the ground, it’s impossible to stuff the body in. We can only dig a hole, put the body in place, and then fill the hole.”

Shu Ling’s reasoning was logical and well-founded, and everyone felt that this was the correct answer.

Jiang Xu Yan thought for a while and said, “The body was found the next day. The murderer wanted to dig a hole and push the body onto the sword of the statue. There must be more than one person.”

“And this sword isn’t sharp enough,” Yu Muhuai continued. “It won’t be easy to pierce a human body.”

Shu Ling had already thought of these two points, so she immediately replied, “It’s very likely that there were at least three people who committed the crime. One dug a hole and filled it with soil. The other two tied the victim’s limbs or other places with ropes and then pulled the rope.”

“So, we need to investigate all the murder cases that happened in the school,” Song Qingyou concluded.

“Are we going to the activity room or back to the classroom?” he asked.

“I want to take a look at the red maple tree,” Yu Muhuai said gently.

“The answer that Sister Shu Ling deduced just now reminds me of the Red Maple Tree.”

“We’re guessing that the six ghost story locations are where the corpses are hidden. How do we hide them under that tree?”

“Under the tree!” Tang Zinian replied.

“Yes.”

Yu Muhuai didn’t say anything else and went straight to the red maple tree in the garden.

The other six naturally wouldn’t leave it alone and followed.

Unfortunately, after wandering around the third last tree on the right for a long time and even clearing all the fallen leaves, they did not see anything unusual.

“How did this happen?”

Yu Muhuai was surprised.

“The corpse hiding place is just our guess. It’s normal that we didn’t find it.” Xu Xingzhou analyzed.

“Xingzhou is right. Don’t go into a dead end…”

Yu Muhuai didn’t say anything. She didn’t know if he heard what they said.

Song Qingyou’s lips curled up slightly. She was curious when Yu Muhuai would realize that something was wrong.

Just as they were discussing leaving, Yu Muhuai suddenly said, “There’s something I forgot to say.”

Everyone looked sideways.

“I didn’t see the rooftop key when I returned the key.”

“If the key wasn’t at the scene of the ‘accident’, it’s very likely that someone took it, and it’s most likely someone other than us.”

When they heard this, they immediately decided to go to the rooftop to take a look.

However, they had only taken a few steps when men in black appeared around them..
