Chapter 410: Chapter 410: The First Case

Translator: Zayn_

Half an hour ago.

The seven of them shook off Song Qingyou and gathered in front of Building B.

Gu Xingchen naturally became the leader.

Considering that Zhao Yingnan was the least courageous, he deliberately arranged Jiang Xuyan and Xu Xingzhou to be in the same group as her. The other four people were divided into two groups.

“The three of you, look for the leftmost area.”

“Shu Ling and I will look for the one in the middle.”

“Muhuai, you and Xiao Tang go to the far right.”

After ensuring that everyone was fine, the group entered the teaching building.

As soon as they entered, the program team repeated the same trick and locked the few entrances and exits of the teaching building.

This was the first time Gu Xingchen had seen such a situation. When he heard the commotion, he wanted to turn around and ask.

Shu Ling, who was in the same group, stopped him. “Don’t worry about it. The production team was worried that we would escape, so they locked the door.”

“So later, not only do we have to find the crime scene, but we also have to find the key.”

When Gu Xingchen heard the word ‘escape’, he already sensed that something was wrong.

However, he still pushed open the door of the first classroom, completely unaware that Shu Ling had taken a few steps back the moment he pushed open the door.

Hence, Gu Xingchen was shocked by the red dress hanging from the ceiling.

Not long after, Zhao Yingnan, Jiang Xuyan, and Tang Zinian’s screams sounded one after another.

Song Qingyou strolled to the entrance of the teaching building and ran into Tang Zinian, who was running out in fear.

“I’ve finally found you.” Song Qingyou looked confused. “Are you all in this building? 1 heard you shouting for help.”

Tang Zinian was still panting. He held the iron door and felt a little guilty when he saw Song Qingyou.

“They, they should still be looking for the key.”

“Where did Sister Qingyou go just now? We didn’t see you when we came over.”

Song Qingyou looked suspicious.

“Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that? When I came out of the dormitory, 1 didn’t see you guys. You didn’t call me either…! thought you guys might be in the activity room, so I went straight to the activity room.”

Tang Zinian scratched his cheek. “We just happened to be here… By the way, Sister Qingyou, can you help open the door of the teaching building?”

“It’s possible.” Song Qingyou nodded slightly. “But I need to find a wire.”

Tang Zinian heaved a sigh of relief. “Sorry to trouble you, Sister Qingyou.”

They still hadn’t found the crime scene of the first case. If Song Qingyou opened the door and came in, wouldn’t their efforts be wasted?

Therefore, he had to delay her if he could.

Song Qingyou waved her hand and left.

Tang Zinian rested for a while and went back to look for Yu Muhuai.

The latter happened to come out of a classroom.

“Where did you go?”

Tang Zinian took a few deep breaths and replied, “1 saw Sister Qingyou at the door. We chatted for a while and she agreed to help us unlock the door. Now she’s going to look for a wire, so let’s focus on the crime scene first.”

Yu Muhuai nodded. “I’ve seen all the classrooms we’re in charge of. Other than the scaring decorations, it doesn’t look like a murder scene.”

“Then shall we help Brother Gu and the others?”

“Let’s go.”

The two of them walked along the aisle and couldn’t find Gu Xingchen and Shu Ling. Instead, they heard Zhao Yingnan’s screams.

Following the sound, they would soon meet up with Jiang Xuyan and the other two.

However, just as they walked to the left stairwell of the teaching building, the cameraman moved his sore arm, causing the flashlight to move as well. The light source that had been under their feet coincidentally lit up the ’emergency exit’ sign in the right corner.

On the signboard, there should have been green words and signs, but at this moment, there was a place that was red and black.

Yu Muhuai stopped in his tracks.

Tang Zinian was confused. “Brother Yu? What are you looking at?”

“Look over there. Is that blood?”

Yu Muhuai pointed at the emergency exit sign.

Tang Zinian took a look, then quickly walked down the stairs and squatted in front of the sign.

“It should be.”

As the two of them got closer, they could see the ‘bloodstains’ on the sign. It was definitely deliberately arranged by the program team.

“Then this is the crime scene.” Tang Zinian was amused. “This is what it means to plant a willow tree unintentionally!”

“I’ll go get Brother Gu and the others now.”

Soon, the seven of them gathered at the stairwell.

While Gu Xingchen and the others went to look at the bloodstains, Tang Zinian told them about Song Qingyou.

Knowing that Song Qingyou had already gone to find a wire lock, the group decided to quickly check the place.

“We all thought that the crime scene was a classroom. We never thought about the stairwell.” Shu Ling looked up curiously. “How did you find out?”

“It’s a coincidence.” Yu Muhuai said, “If Brother Zhao didn’t move his flashlight and shone it here, we wouldn’t have discovered it.”

“Then 1 really have to thank the cameraman.”

Jiang Xuyan stood up.” But there are only some bloodstains on the signboard nearby. What can we see? Could it be that the first case was actually an accident? That girl accidentally fell down the stairs?”

“This is impossible! How could it be an accident?”

Everyone looked at Gu Xingchen, who spoke resolutely.

The latter frowned. “If it’s really an accident, then what’s there to investigate? Besides, there must be a connection between all the missing people in the school.”

“However, just based on the bloodstains on the signboard, it cannot explain the problem…”

The few people who checked the signs fell into a short silence.

Xu Xingzhou, who had been silent all this while, coughed lightly.” Actually, there should be a way.”

Everyone looked at him.

“I was in a classroom just now and saw a bottle labeled with Luminol reagent,” Xu Xing Zhou said unhurriedly.

“I felt that it was very strange for the teaching building to have such a thing, so 1 took a few more glances…! didn’t expect it to come in handy.”

Zhao Yingnan, “Luminol reagent… What is it?”

“I know.” Tang Zinian was very enthusiastic. “I’ve watched criminal investigation dramas before. This is the thing that can detect blood stains.”

Needless to say, this was definitely a tool that the production team had arranged for them to investigate the case.

It didn’t matter if the blood and Luminol reagent were real or fake, as long as they could find the corresponding clues.

The few of them rushed over to get the reagent and sprayed it at the stairwell.

After a while, the fluorescent lights that almost covered the entire stairwell appeared in front of everyone.

While the group was shocked, they had to admit that the production team had put in a lot of effort into the arrangements.

“If this fluorescent light is bloodstains,” Yu Muhuai analyzed, “then there’s no possibility of an accident.”

“There are so many footprints here, which means that there were many people surrounding here at that time. There are also traces of dragging corpses over there.”

Shu Ling pinched her chin: “So, in the first murder case, the victim was probably…”

Tang Zinian: “Pushed down the stairs.”

“But why are there so many bloodstains?” Jiang Xu Yan was confused. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhao Yingnan stood at the back and grabbed the handrail of the stairs.. She said faintly, “Have you forgotten? After the first case, there were six ghost stories in the school…”
