The person who was pretending to be asleep opened his eyes and looked around before nodding hesitantly.
âI remember.ââ
âThatâs good.â Yu Muhuai heaved a sigh of relief. âCan you tell me why you fainted this time?â
âI canâ¦Arenât you going to tell me?â
The person on the hospital bed looked troubled, and she could not bear to ask again.
âNo,â Yu Muhuai was unmoved.
âDonât forget, you just told me yesterday who the person who bullied you was. If I tell that personâ¦â
âDonât! 1â11 tell you!â
The facts proved that Yu Muhuaiâs deduction was correct.
If he wanted to obtain useful information from Student Sun, threatening him was a necessary method.
Moreover, it was very likely that he would need to talk to the other party on the first day and get something on him.
âI fainted because I was locked up in the laboratory building last night. I didnât sleep the entire night and only escaped this morningâ¦â
âWho locked you up?â Yu Muhuai lowered his voice.â Song Qingyou?â
â No, itâs not her. Itâs someone from the Student Union.â
âWhen were you locked up last night?â
âAround seven oâclock in the eveningâ¦â
âWhy were you locked up? Did you see something you shouldnât have?â
âNo, I didnât. I didnât do anythingâ¦â
âDonât lie, or else-â
âIâll talk.â Student Sun closed her eyes. âI usually like to stay alone in the laboratory building because thereâs no one else there. However, 1 saw a few people digging a hole last night, but I really donât know what they were doing.â
âI accidentally stepped on the broom in the corner and made a noise. Then, I hid in the toilet. They didnât find me, but they locked the laboratory building. I climbed out of the broken window at the backâ¦â
âOnly the Student Union members will come out at night, so it must be them!â
This was clearly a murder scene.
âWhere were they digging?â Yu Muhuai asked.
âThe third tree from the bottom to the right,â replied Student Sun after thinking for a while.
This answer made Yu Muhuai frown.
They had already gone to investigate that tree a few times, but there were no traces of soil being moved at allâ¦
The production team paid so much attention to âuseless detailsâ and even specially arranged for an NPC to leak the news. It was impossible that they did not set up the scene well.
Yu Muhuai thought for a long time and suddenly thought of something. âYou mean the third tree on the right that you saw in the laboratory building last night?â
Student Sun nodded.â Yes.â
Yu Muhuai instantly understood what he had overlooked.
Every time they counted the third last tree on the right, they would walk to the garden and count from the direction facing the laboratory building.
He had never thought that the so-called right side was actually the right side as seen from the laboratory building.
Yu Muhuai couldnât wait to verify his new discovery, but he didnât want to miss this NPC who could reveal a lot of information.
After calming down, he continued to ask, âWhy were you afraid when you saw Tang Zinian and the others?â
âI-â The person on the bed subconsciously wanted to retort.
âYouâd better tell me the truth.â
âBecause Student Zhao hates me. If 1 get too close to her, something bad will happenâ¦â
Zhao Yingnan was the campus belle and had countless fans in school.
Since student Sun was concerned about this, she naturally had to stay away from Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan.
âWhat about Doctor Gu? How much do you know?â
âDoctor Gu is a good person. He always treats my wounds secretly and covers for me. He also keeps encouraging me to resist, but I really canât do it.â
âWhat else?â
âAlsoâ¦â The girl lowered her head and was silent for a while before saying, âI saw Doctor Gu last night too.â
âWhere did you see him? What was he doing?â
âHe was making a phone call at the flag-raising platform. He didnât do anything. He didnât see me. 1 didnât want to cause trouble for him, so 1 left.â
Student Sun tugged at the blanket. âDonât ask anymore. Thatâs all 1 know. You wonât get anything out of me even if you ask.â
âLast night, you-â
Yu Muhuai wanted to ask why she had gone to the laboratory building last night.
However, halfway through his sentence, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind him.
Gu Xingchen said with a cold face, âSo there are other people insideâ¦Yu Muhuai, what are you doing here? Student Sun needs to rest. Please donât disturb her.â
âItâs alright.â The girl said, âStudent Yu just came to talk to me.â
âI see. It seems like youâre friends with Student Yu.â
Gu Xingchenâs attitude softened a lot, but his tone was still tough.
âBut if you guys were to be seen alone in the school doctorâs office, it wouldnât be a good thing. I remember that Zhao Yingnan seems to like Student Yu very much, so please donât bring trouble to Student Sun.â
âI understand.â
Yu Muhuai didnât know if he had heard her, but he left after saying goodbye.
âYou should recuperate here. 1 wonât let anyone know that youâre here.â
Gu Xingchen showed some concern for the person on the hospital bed. Then, he returned to the desk separated by the curtain and took out a key and a black cuboid that looked like a keychain from under the desk.
The camera zoomed in and captured the label on the so-called keychain.
Written on it was âRecording Device 02â.
Gu Xingchen put on his headphones.
It was obvious that he was listening to the conversation between Yu Muhuai and Student Sun.
He picked up the key that was marked ârooftop of Building Bâ and wiped it gently with a handkerchief.
On the other side.
Song Qingyou and the others went to the various ghost stories locations to take a look. Seeing that there were no abnormalities, they returned to the club activity room.
âOne, two, threeâ¦Eh? Is Xiao Yu not here this time?â
Jiang Xuyan counted the people and asked, âHas anyone seen him?â
The six of them shook their heads.
âHe canât still be in the classroom, can he? It feels like this class is specially going easy on us and letting us come out to investigate.â
âThen where did he go?â The few of us seemed to have been circling those six places, but no one saw himâ¦â
âHeâs probably with Doctor Gu.â Song Qingyou speculated.
âAre they in the infirmary?â Zhao Yingnan whispered, âBut the infirmary isnât where the ghost stories happened.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe two of them might be in cahoots,â Xu Xingzhou guessed.
Jiang Xuyan heard this and looked up at Song Qingyou, asking with his eyes,
âThis is our first clue. Should we make it public now?â
Song Qingyou shook her head and whispered, âOne more.â
Thatâs right, there were three murderers.
If Gu Xingchen and Yu Muhuai were the murderersâ¦
In that case, there was still one more person among the six of them.
âLetâs not bother about them.â Tang Zinian sat down and said, âLetâs talk about what we found just now and then wait for dinner.â
They looked at each other, waiting for the others to speak first.
Jiang Xuyan clicked his tongue. âIt seems that itâs better to investigate alone. We donât trust each other now, and itâs easy to drag us down.â
âThereâs still three days. Thereâs no hurry..â
