Chapter 427: Chapter 427: All for Qingyou

Translator: Zayn_

Song Qingyou really didn’t expect that Gu Xingchen’s effort to come up with a voting segment was actually directed at her.

However, she did not panic at all and retorted one by one, “For the first and second points, no one knows if what you said is true or false. The reason is too far-fetched. Besides, everyone was present when we went to the school doctor’s office. Under normal circumstances, no one would specially remember the positions of others.”

“Thirdly, the murderer must have planned to clean up the piano, but I was ‘forced’ to be ‘isolated’ by you guys. 1 couldn’t have calculated that I would have such a long time alone.”

“I think the person most likely to be the murderer is Dr. Gu.” Song Qingyou changed her tone.

“There are two reasons. One is the time when Dr. Gu joined the school. After Dr. Gu joined the school, the frequency of missing cases increased significantly, especially the two students involved in the poisoning case. One died and the other went missing…”

“Secondly, as the school doctor, Dr. Gu has a high level of understanding of the school’s murder and disappearance cases. The first time we met, he reminded us that the victim of the first case should be that female classmate surnamed Huang.”

“Is there anything else you want to say, Doctor Gu?” Shu Ling asked thoughtfully.

Gu Xingchen smiled. “Yes. 1 just want to say that according to my character, I’m like Shu Ling. I’m very interested in the school’s ghost stories, so I’ve been investigating it privately.”

“As for the fact that 1 know more, it’s purely because of my identity as the school doctor. The school doctor is still a little different from you students. At least there are some questions that you can’t get answers from your teachers, but my colleague can.”

Song Qingyou didn’t argue anymore.” We can’t keep arguing. Sister Shu Ling, it’s your turn to vote.”

Shu Ling let out a long sigh. “Both of you are suspects. 1 don’t even know who to choose.”

“So 1 decided to wait for Xiao Yu to finish voting. I’ll vote with Xiao Yu.”

Yu Muhuai didn’t decline. “This way, we can avoid a 2 – 2 tie.”

“Actually, 1 think both Qingyou and Dr. Gu might be the murderers.”

“First of all, Qingyou. 1 suspected that Qingyou was the murderer on the first day. 1 talked to Student Sun on the first day. She said that Qingyou was two-faced and bullied her classmates behind her back. This is exactly what Doctor Gu said. Student Sun is afraid of Qingyou.”

“Bullying a classmate, the previous president of the Student Union, and the daughter of the board of directors. It’s easy to think of a murderer, and a murderer with many fans.”

“But that’s just my guess. Qingyou’s behavior after that doesn’t seem like the murderer at all.”

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips. He thought about it but didn’t say anything else. He looked at Gu Xingchen and said,

“Next is Dr. Gu. I asked Student Sun about it. When the murder and disappearance happened that night, she saw Dr. Gu at the scene. At that time, Student Sun happened to be locked up in the teaching building.”

Shu Ling couldn’t help but say, “Then now… Is Doctor Gu the most suspicious?”

Gu Xingchen raised his hand. “Wait.”

“Qingyou and 1 spoke first, so we were obviously at a disadvantage. We attacked each other, but you guys tacitly agreed that Qingyou and 1 were suspects. Aren’t you guys suspects?”

“And Student Sun, she’s already dead and left no evidence. Whatever she said, she’ll just be fabricated by others. I don’t think Xiao Yu’s reason is valid.”

Hearing this, Shu Ling nodded in agreement, but she immediately put on a troubled expression, “They are all suspects. What should we do?”

Yu Muhuai coughed lightly. “Actually, there’s no need to be so conflicted.”

“Eh?”

The three of them looked at him.

“Whether it’s Qingyou or Teacher Gu, the three of us should vote for Qingyou first.”

“Why?” Shu Ling blurted out.

“Because Qingyou’s martial strength is too high. If the three of us work together, we might be able to tear off Qingyou’s name tag.” Gu Xingchen instantly understood.

Shu Ling’s mouth twitched. “Is this really okay? Qingyou is still here!”

Yu Muhuai looked at the three of them. “Sister Shu Ling just needs to say yes or no.”

Shu Ling looked hesitantly at Song Qingyou. “Qingyou, what do you think?”

“I don’t care.” The latter smiled faintly. “But if both Doctor Gu and Yu Muhuai are the murderers, then you’re doomed.”

Gu Xingchen: “Anyway, there are only four of us left. 1 think it’s better to take a gamble. Shu Ling, you know Qingyou’s strength. Maybe the three of us combined are not even as powerful as her.”

This was not an alarmist remark.

Shu Ling hesitated for a moment before deciding. “I’ve said it before. I’ll vote for whoever Xiao Yu votes for. 1 don’t want to go back on my word.”

“I vote for Qingyou,” Yu Muhuai immediately replied.

“Three to one. Looks like we’ll have to eliminate Qingyou first.”

The three of them exchanged glances, and without another word, they charged straight at Song Qingyou. At the name tag on her back.

However, Song Qingyou dodged so quickly that they didn’t even touch her clothes.

After a few rounds of competition, a tearing sound could be heard from the four of them.

Before anyone could react, the broadcast sounded again.

“Shu Ling, OUT!”

“Shu Ling, OUT!”

The four-man melee was paused.

Shu Ling stood up and patted Gu Xingchen and Yu Muhuai’s shoulders. “Good luck.”

The man in black took Shu Ling away.

Song Qingyou wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate another person.

After all, it was quite tiring for her to control her strength and body reaction so as not to hurt the two of them.

However, Gu Xingchen was quick to react and grabbed her arm.

“Yu Muhuai, hurry!”

He wanted Yu Muhuai to seize the opportunity to rip off Song Qingyou’s name tag.

Unexpectedly, Yu Muhuai did not advance but retreated. He took two or three steps back and then turned around to run.

Looking at the direction he left, he was clearly planning to go to the broadcasting room!

Gu Xingchen made a prompt decision and immediately let go. “Chase!”

Song Qingyou understood what he meant with just a glance. She stopped trying to pull him away and started to chase after Yu Muhuai.

She moved quickly, not giving Gu Xingchen any time to react.

The latter placed his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

“You still want to take advantage of the chaos… I wanted to tear off Little Qingyou’s name tag, but I didn’t expect… She actually ran so fast! Is Little Qingyou an actress or a runner?”

Xiao Li, who was following behind Song Qingyou, had a deep understanding of Gu Xingchen’s dismay.

Seeing Song Qingyou’s afterimage, Xiao Li wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn’t care that he was still recording the show and shouted, “Sister Song! Wait for me! Sister Song!”

The cry was shrill and funny.

Gu Xingchen couldn’t help but laugh out loud, but he didn’t dare to rest for long. He immediately chased after the two people in front.

Yu Muhuai thought that Gu Xingchen would be able to delay Song Qingyou for a while. With that time, he might be able to rush into the broadcast room.

Who would have thought that the key to the broadcast room would require him to use the pass he had obtained from playing the game yesterday to exchange for it!

Thus, Yu Muhuai ‘escaped’ for less than five minutes before Song Qingyou caught him.

“Yu Muhuai, OUT!”

“Yu Muhuai, OUT!”
