Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Only Four People Left

Translator: Zayn_

When the broadcast announced Xu Xingzhou’s elimination, Song Qingyou happened to meet Tang Zinian.

“You were the one who eliminated Brother Jiang and Xingzhou?”

Song Qingyou instantly decided to strike first.

No matter what happened just now, she had to put the blame on Tang Zinian.

Tang Zinian had wanted to explain when he saw Song Qingyou, but she reacted so quickly and was already in front of him.

Tang Zinian wanted to dodge, but Song Qingyou grabbed his jacket.

“Sister Qingyou-”

Tang Zinian wanted to explain, but he could not pull his clothes back.

“I don’t know about Xingzhou, but Brother Jiang should be a good person. You eliminated Brother Jiang, so you’re most likely the murderer.”

Song Qingyou pulled back a little, trying to reach the name tag.

In fact, she had also added water.

Otherwise, with Tang Zinian’s meager strength, how could he have fought with her for so long?

“That was all a misunderstanding-”

“If Brother Jiang hadn’t attacked me first, I wouldn’t have attacked him!”

Tang Zinian gritted his teeth and didn’t give up trying to convince Song Qingyou.

The latter had long sensed that there were more than one or two people nearby from the surrounding movements.

She looked at Tang Zinian suspiciously and said, “You said that Brother Jiang attacked you first. Brother Jiang is not the murderer. Why would he attack you first? Isn’t it because your identity is suspicious?”

“Sister Shu Ling misunderstood!”

Tang Zinian explained, and then suddenly realized, “Yes, it’s Sister Shu Ling!”

“She has been following me since I met Sister Yingnan. 1 let Sister Yingnan go. After Sister Yingnan was eliminated, Sister Shu Ling even blamed me for it. If you ask me, she is the murderer!”

Song Qingyou didn’t believe him. “How do I know if you’re telling the truth?

You said Shu Ling was with you, but where is she?”

“At that time, the four of us split up. Other than her, there was also Xiao Yu and

Xingzhou…The elimination of Xingzhou must be Sister Shu Ling’s doing!”

The more Tang Zinian spoke, the more certain he became.

“I don’t believe you.” Song Qingyou frowned.

Although she said that, she did not tear Tang Zinian’s name tag.

“I’m telling the truth! Sister Qingyou, think about it, Sister Shu Ling has been following me all this time, isn’t she just trying to benefit from it?”

At this point, Tang Zinian spoke of his ambition to eliminate everyone.

He also vowed that Shu Ling was definitely trying to pick up the loot from behind him.

After a few tugs, Song Qingyou seemed to be convinced and slowly let go.

“I believe you for now.” Song Qingyou said, “Are you planning to go find Shu Ling later?”

“Of course we have to find them. They’re murderers. We’ll eliminate as many as we can.”

“Oh,” Song Qingyou said and took a few steps back, ready to leave.

At this moment, a hand reached out and grabbed the name tag on Tang Zinian’s back.

Tang Zinian turned around in shock. “Brother Gu?!”

He had never expected that Gu Xingchen would be the one to attack him.

“Aiya, I’ve been discovered.” Gu Xingchen raised his eyebrows and tried to shake off Tang Zinian’s hand.

The two of them quickly engaged in a fight.

After all, they were both men. It was much more intense than a man and a woman tearing apart branded goods.

Song Qingyou moved further away. “Where did Teacher Gu come from? Tang Zinian explained to me that he’s not the murderer. What is Teacher Gu trying to do?”

“Who knows if he’s the murderer?” Gu Xingchen grabbed the name tag tightly. “If you ask me, I’d rather kill the wrong person than let him go!”

“Don’t worry, Lil Tang. After you leave, I’ll help you find Shu Ling.”

As he spoke, he wanted to tear off the name tag.

Tang Zinian was unwilling, but he was already at a disadvantage.

Song Qingyou wanted to be the third party and directly tear off Gu Xingchen’s name tag, but Gu Xingchen was very vigilant and there were other people nearby.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Tang Zinian’s name tag was already in Gu Xingchen’s hand.

“Tang Zinian, OUT!”

“Tang Zinian, OUT!”

The announcement sounded immediately. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang Zinian sat on the ground dejectedly.

Panting, he said, “Teacher Gu, you’re too strong.”

“You’re so merciless. You must be one of the murderers, right?”

Gu Xingchen did not respond.

Tang Zinian didn’t say anything else and was carried away by the men in black.

Before he left, he even took the name tag that Gu Xingchen had given him.

Song Qingyou moved further away, staring at Gu Xingchen warily.

“Why are you looking at me?” Gu Xingchen smiled. “Didn’t you hear what Lil Tang said? Shu Ling is very likely the murderer. I’m going to find her.”

Song Qingyou didn’t say anything and took two more steps back.

Gu Xingchen smiled again, “I thought you were the murderer too, but seeing you like this, I’m not sure.”

“You are.”

“Think whatever you want.”

Gu Xingchen spread his hands and turned to leave.

Song Qingyou watched him leave thoughtfully, pretending not to know that there was someone hiding in the corner.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard a voice.

“Qingyou, have you seen Shu Ling?”

Yu Muhuai walked closer as if he was passing by.

His appearance meant that Qingyou’s “performance” was very successful.

Song Qingyou curled her lips and glanced behind her.

“Where did you come from? Why are you looking for Shu Ling?”

“I was just passing by.” Yu Muhuai didn’t go any closer. “Shu Ling disappeared after eliminating Old Xu.”

“Oh, Teacher Gu has already gone to look for her.”

Song Qingyou pretended to be uninterested.

“I want to go to the broadcasting room. Do you want to come with me, or…”

“Broadcasting room?” Yu Muhuai narrowed his eyes. “Do you already know who the murderer is?”

“There are only four people left. If we don’t go now, it might be too late.”

Song Qingyou said and was about to leave.

Yu Muhuai hesitated.

He had been suspicious of Song Qingyou since the first day.

But judging from her behavior, she really didn’t look like a murderer.

Especially when Gu Xingchen and Tang Zinian were fighting, she did not kick him when he was down and took the opportunity to tear off Gu Xingchen’s name tag.

Now that the two of them were present, she didn’t do anything to him.

Could it be that he was wrong?

No matter how one looked at it, the probability of Gu Xingchen being the murderer was much higher than Song Qingyou’s.

Yu Muhuai was confused.

When he came back to his senses, Song Qingyou was long gone.

Yu Muhuai thought about it and followed after her.

At the same time, Gu Xingchen had already circled around the teaching building where the broadcast room was located, but but he didn’t find Shu Ling.

Shu Ling wasn’t nearby, so she could only have gone to six ghost stories’ locations.

Firstly, he eliminated the red maple tree, the rooftop of Block B, the library, and the murder sculpture. There was either nothing to see in these four locations, or everyone already knew how the ghost stories and cases happened, so there was no need to make further deductions.

There were only the biochemical laboratory and the activity room of the Musical Instrument Club that had yet to be solved.

Gu Xingchen thought about it and decided to go to the Musical Instrument Club’s activity room first..
