Eh?
Xi Yu was slightly surprised.
Among the four people present, she was the only one who needed school history information the most. Qin He had no reason to go to the archives as soon as he arrived at school.
"Wow, Mr. Qin, you are so kind to Xi Yu." Jiang Li'er smiled teasingly: "As expected of an old acquaintance."
"It's just a helping hand. We all need to know the background of Yueshan Middle School."
Qin He's tone did not change, and he still replied gently: "Thanks to Officer Xiao Xi for the case back then, otherwise my sister would not even be able to keep a clean name after her death."
He spoke vaguely and smiled, but he was obviously unwilling to talk about it with others. However, when Qin He said this, Xi Yu thought of the case he took over last year.
Cases involving schools are always extremely troublesome. The murderer and the victim are likely to be minors. The investigation involves double interference from parents and schools. In order not to damage the reputation of the school, some schools will even destroy the scene for fear that the police will find out. What.
Qin He and his sister Qin Yuan are both orphans. They have been living together for many years. It was not easy for Qin He to become the youngest full professor of Hanjiang University last year. However, Qin Yuan was found to have hanged himself in the toilet and left a heartfelt letter. Complaining suicide note.
When Xi Yu and Jiang Yingnian arrived at school, Qin Yuan's classmates were making up ridiculous jokes about his suicide note. They clapped their hands in celebration and made all kinds of grimaces to imitate Qin Yuan's appearance when he died. They didn't think they were the best at all. Will be punished.
"It's suicide anyway, so the case should be closed, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Xi Yu, you were also a student of No.1 High School before. You can't ruin No.1 High School's reputation by holding on to such a trivial matter."
"My child just said a few words to her. Who knew she was so mentally fragile? Such people will still commit suicide in the future when they enter society. They deserve it."
No one from the school, parents, or public opinion stood on Qin Yuan's side. Even if Xi Yu finally found out about the small group of students who forced Qin Yuan to death, he could only reluctantly sign his name on the suicide report.
Qin Yuan's case was the first time that Xi Yu "accidentally" let the victim's family discover the results of his investigation.
I heard that the students who forced Qin Yuan to death all disappeared while they were hiking together in a group. Even Jiang Yingnian, the gentlest person in the city bureau, commented with a cold face: "Karma."
Why do you suddenly think of this past event?
Xi Yu shook his head and pointed to the broken lock on the balcony: "What should we do? If it is only the fourth floor, something will climb up if it is not secured."
"Stick it with a chair."
Jiang Li'er took the lead in moving her and Li Shu's chairs to the balcony door. He first used a chair to block the door lock, then flipped another chair upside down to block the balcony door, and then stacked the remaining two chairs. The chair was stuck tightly and the door was blocked.
Li Shu pulled hard twice and found that the chair and the door were not moving at all. Jiang Lier breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "This is a mortise and tenon structure. Unless the thing outside is extremely powerful or something, it will never get in."
Thinking of Zhou Xiang and Sun Xuanyi in the ghost marriage story, Xi Yu had to admit that a good fight was not as good as a good arrangement.
At night, the four of them went to bed one after another. The pure white quilt was unexpectedly clean. Xi Yu lay down in it unceremoniously and covered his head with the quilt that smelled of hospital disinfectant.
If she guessed correctly, this quilt was mostly used in hospitals to cover corpses. The corpse would be covered from head to toe, so the only person whose head was not covered by a white sheet was the living person.
Once something crawls up at night, it's likely that what it's looking for is a living person.
However, these were just Xi Yu's own guesses and were not necessarily correct. To be on the safe side, she did not inform the three of them.
The school temperature at night was frighteningly low. Even if the doors and windows were closed tightly, there would always be a chilly wind blowing through the dormitory from time to time.
Only Dormitory 404 was occupied on the entire floor, and it was so quiet that you could almost hear breathing. Under this circumstance, the rustling sounds outside the balcony were particularly obvious.
The thing struggled to climb up the balcony and was crawling on the ground with all four limbs together. It seemed to know that the lock on the balcony must be broken, and it was twisting and trying to push open the balcony door.
The four people in the room were all excited. Fortunately, the mortise and tenon structure created by Jiang Lier was indeed correct. Things outside pushed and bumped, making the balcony door bang loudly, but they still couldn't make the door open at all. gap.
After working hard to climb up, I banged against the door with my body for an hour or two, but in the end, I gained nothing at all. The things outside screamed anxiously and muffled, roaring like beasts, and slapped the balcony harder. Door.
Just when Xi Yu felt relieved, she glimpsed a figure faintly appearing in the dormitory through the white sheets.
Who got out of bed? !
No, I didn’t hear the sound of anyone getting out of bed, this figure suddenly appeared out of thin air!
The figure followed the sound to the balcony door and tried to pull the four chairs apart, but Jiang Lier was very clever. The figure tried with both hands on the ground for half an hour, but the chairs still remained the same.
These two things are a bit useless.
Xi Yu was sighing when she saw the figure no longer paying attention to the things howling outside, and instead climbed onto her bed.
Unexpectedly, the person I crawled into bed with for the first time in my life turned out to be a ghost.
I don’t know whether I should call my life a failure or a success.
Xi Yu lay upright on the bed, her whole body covered by white sheets. The figure slowly pressed against Xi Yu. The smell of the rotting corpse went straight to Xi Yu's forehead, making her dizzy. The thick and wet blood The drops fell on Xi Yu's face through the sheets. She bit the tip of her tongue and still didn't move.
No matter how threatening the figures were, Xi Yu remained motionless under the sheets like a real corpse.
As if being completely cut off by the simple white sheet, the figure may have also determined that Xi Yu was a real dead person, and turned to harass Li Shu, who was sitting on the bed opposite Xi Yu.
Fortunately, Xi Yu's movements did not avoid the crowd, and the remaining three followed the same pattern, also covering their faces with sheets and pretending to be dead.
This immediately stunned the figure. It didn't expect that everyone who came to dormitory 404 this time would all die before it could take action.
The figure lost its dream and quietly retreated to a certain place in the dormitory. Things outside also crawled away again with the arrival of dawn.
Xi Yu fell asleep in a daze for two hours and was woken up by Xiaoyue in her backpack.
There are also a few more sentences in the diary.
: The two people last night seemed to be my classmates.
: Class 3 of senior high school is very dangerous, both of them.
: If you are going to class in class 3 of senior high school, you must count the number of people before class. No matter how many or how few, you must first call the roll call. Otherwise, those students will pester you.
The monsters and figures outside the balcony last night were actually students from Yueshan Middle School, or were they Xiaoyue's classmates?
Then why do they become like this, neither humans nor ghosts?
