Chapter 402: Chapter 402 - 402: Who Is The Third Person?

Translator: Zayn_

This was entirely possible.

And the possibility was very high.

Everyone fell silent.

Tang Zinian seemed to be puzzled. “Student Sun looks like a nice person. Why was she bullied?”

“Maybe some people have mental illness?” Shu Ling commented bluntly. “Growing up in a good environment is very important to people.”

“Cough…Let’s not talk about this first. Our goal now is to find the murderer.”

Jiang Xuyan glanced at Song Qingyou and said, “According to the clues I got while playing dodgeball with Qingyou, we can confirm that there is more than one murderer among us.”

He didn’t say there were three of them precisely. Firstly, it was to prevent the murderer from finding out, and secondly, it was to remind the others.

When the few of them heard this, they were not very surprised. They had long guessed this.

Gu Xingchen, on the other hand, looked at Yu Muhuai and Shu Ling.

After breakfast, the group of people could not come to a conclusion. They had no choice but to enter the classroom after the bell rang and wait for class to begin.

The person who was lecturing in the morning was Xu Xingzhou.

Gu Xingchen, like the others, could not sit still. After a while, he used all kinds of strange reasons to escape.

This time, only Xu Xingzhou was left on the podium, and Song Qingyou, who deliberately sat in the corner and didn’t have time to run away.

When Zhao Yingnan was the last to leave, Song Qingyou waved at Xu Xingzhou.

The latter understood it instantly and casually wrote a question on the blackboard.

“Song Qingyou, come up and do this question.”

The extras noticed the obvious eye contact between the two, but they pretended not to see it.

Song Qingyou walked up to the stage, picked up a piece of chalk, and whispered, “Were you the one who did it last night?”

Others might be confused by this inexplicable question, but Xu Xingzhou understood that Song Qingyou was talking about Student Sun jumping off the building.

“You saw it?” Xu Xingzhou asked.

“I know you left the dormitory early.” Song Qingyou said, “As a teaching assistant, you can ask the dorm manager to open the door, right?”

Xu Xingzhou had no intention of hiding anything. “You and 1 are on the same side. When you were playing the piano that day, 1 saw that there was a part of the piano keys that you did not move.”

“Indeed. Luckily, you were the one who noticed it first.” Song Qingyou smiled.

“I blocked their line of sight.” Xu Xing Zhou said calmly, “And they were so engrossed in listening that they didn’t see it.”

Song Qingyou nodded. As she spoke, her hands didn’t stop working on the questions.

“In exchange for information, the first clue I got was that there were three murderers. The second clue was that the seventh ghost story’s specific content was that the person who deduced the truth and appeared at the location of the ghost story would die.”

“Three?” Xu Xingzhou was surprised. “1 always thought it was just the two of us.”

“There’s no rush to find the third person.” Song Qingyou paused and suddenly thought of the two suicide cases. “There were two cases on the first night, and only one was done by my student council.”

“Did you kill the other person who jumped off the building?”

Xu Xingzhou frowned and shook his head. “No, it wasn’t me.”

“Then the key in Student Sun’s hand…”

“I didn’t put it there either.” Xu Xing Zhou slapped his forehead. “I can confirm that there was no one else around.”

“Then it must be the other murderer. He didn’t return the key to the security room. He clearly wanted people to link the two cases. This means that he didn’t have any intention of thinking about us, who are also murderers. He probably wants us to take the blame.”

Song Qingyou speculated, “So this murderer might not be the same as us. No one can guarantee that there is no third party among us, so we should not take the initiative to find the third murderer for the time being.”

Xu Xingzhou thought about it and roughly understood.

Song Qingyou saw him nod and continued her analysis. “As for the second clue, it’s a reminder to us that we can eliminate the person who deduced the truth of the ghost stories.”

“Also, the president of the Student Union told me that the teacher who has been missing for the past year hasn’t been found. That teacher is someone who is covering for us. This means that someone is still investigating the case and wants to attack us.”

“Could this person be the third murderer?” Xu Xing Zhou blurted out.

“It’s very possible. Although we have the same identity, he is our enemy. So far, who do you think is more similar among the other six?”

Xu Xingzhou thought for a moment. “Yu Muhuai is definitely not. He seems to know more than the others.”

“And he has always been suspicious of me.” Song Qingyou continued.

“Teacher Zhao, it’s possible.” Xu Xingzhou said, “She used fear as an excuse to stay in the activity room. However, we don’t know if she went anywhere else during this period of time. Besides, she’s the least suspicious.”

“Then we have to pay more attention next.”

Song Qingyou lowered her voice and didn’t write down the results for a long time.

“I don’t think anyone has seen the computer in the activity room. I took some time to look through the files on it. There are some screenshots of the forum.” “According to the discussion time on the forum, the first case wasn’t actually the disappearance of the student council member, but Huang Jiao. So, the head found in the library is very likely Huang Jiao’s.”

“In other words, the origin of the ghost stories is Huang Jiao…”

Song Qingyou nodded and wanted to say something, but the students below the podium started to make a fuss.

“It’s fine if the teacher asked the counselor to go up and do the questions, but why did it take so long? Is this question that difficult?”

“Are we still going to class? Wasn’t this a waste of time? Can’t we skip this question?”

The voices of the students were, of course, on behalf of the program team to urge them to return to their seats.

Song Qingyou had no choice but to quickly write the answers to the questions. She put down the chalk and returned to her seat.

Ten minutes later, Yu Muhuai and Tang Zinian returned to the classroom, panting.

“Where are Teacher Jiang and Sister Yingnan? The two of them were caught?”

Song Qingyou looked behind her.

Only then did the others react. Their team was actually missing two people!

“Hey, where’s Teacher Jiang? He was clearly behind me just now!”

Tang Zinian was surprised. He looked at Shu Ling and asked, “And Sister Shu

Ling, didn’t Sister Yingnan run with you?”

“Yes, but we let go when we went upstairs.”

Shu Ling took the water from the cameraman and poured it into her mouth without a word.

“It’s just being locked up in a small dark room. It shouldn’t be a big deal?” Yu Muhuai looked at Tang Zinian as he spoke.

Shu Ling couldn’t help but laugh, almost choking herself.

“Cough…Hahaha…”

“What’s a small dark room?” Gu Xingchen was puzzled.

“I can’t tell you,” Tang Zinian’s lips twitched as he tried to control his emotions.

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Xing Zhou suddenly slapped the podium several times.

“Those students at the back, if you make any more noise in class, stand in front!”

“1 hope everyone will prepare well for the test in the next class.”

Everyone immediately complained.. At the same time, they told Gu Xingchen about the exam that was watched by more than ten people on the first day…
