Chapter 4 of Volume 1: Legend

  The conversation between the principal's office and the public security bureau is proceeding simultaneously. 3 The mystery of Liu Xiaofei's death has various sayings, but most of the evidence suggests that Liu Xiaofei's death has nothing to do with anyone. She indeed jumped off the building and died.

  The results of the forensic examination have also come out, and no fingerprints or clothing fibers from anyone else were found on Liu Xiaofei's body, including hair DNA. Originally, Public Security Bureau Director Sun Zemin still had three points of suspicion, but with this result, he can only rule out the possibility of homicide.

  But did Liu Xiaofei really commit suicide?

  ……

  At the same time, the principal's office was far from being as harmonious as the public security bureau.

  Seven or eight teachers and some students, plus Jiang Qicai, were packed into the principal's office. Everyone's face was very solemn.

  The principal first asked Jiang Qicai, "From the time you were dismissed from school to the time Liu Xiaofei jumped off the building and committed suicide tonight, did you find anyone suspicious?"

  Jiang Qicai's answer was "No!"

  The woman next to him, Li Yin, kindly helped Jiang Qicai, "Indeed not, because at that time I was by his side and chatting with him. We didn't notice anyone suspicious!" Apparently, Li Yin had a certain specific implication in her use of the word "we", so after finishing this sentence, she also gave Jiang Qicai a flirtatious glance.

  Most of the men present looked complex, with some showing jealousy, ambiguity and hostility.

  Jiang Qicai pretended not to see, looking at the principal and saying: "Even if there is a suspicious person, what does that have to do with Liu Xiaofei's death? Didn't the police just say that Liu Xiaofei was a suicide?"

  A female teacher of Chinese department disagreed: "But why did Liu Xiaofei want to commit suicide? There must be a reason, right? Liu Xiaofei's parents are doing business abroad, and it can't be said that they are rich, but at least in terms of material wealth, every month's pocket money is tens of thousands of yuan, which can be considered as carefree!" The teacher's words were very correct. Children who can enter "Hua Lian Private University" must have excellent family conditions.

  Jiang Qicai suddenly thought of Wang Shiyu and Zhang Lan, and their family conditions were probably similar. However, this idea only flashed by.

  A male teacher also nodded and said, "Also, as far as I know, Liu Xiaofei has never quarreled with any of her classmates since she was in school. This is very rare. After all, the female students here are all spoiled and used to giving orders from a young age. It's not necessary to mention that they are divided into factions and cliques, and there are constant frictions over trivial matters every day. However, we teachers have never heard of Liu Xiaofei quarreling with any student. What reason does such a student have to commit suicide?"

  "Not bad! And Liu Xiaofei's academic performance is also among the best in her department, she is a model in every teacher's mind!" The principal added at this time: "If it is said that there are students with ulterior motives who pushed Liu Xiaofei off the rooftop out of jealousy, I believe it, but if it is said that Liu Xiaofei committed suicide, that is simply absurd!" As he spoke, the principal heavily pounded his fist on the desk in front of him.

  For a moment, seeing the principal so excited, most of the teachers didn't say anything.

  Wang Shiyu and Zhang Lan secretly watched Jiang Qicai, paying attention to his every move.

  Jiang Qicai's gaze swept across the faces of all the teachers, missing none of their expressions.

  At this point, seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Qi had no choice but to break the silence himself and said: "So, does the principal think Liu Xiaofei was murdered?"

  The principal looked gloomy and didn't say a word, but unexpectedly shook his head.

  "Isn't it suicide or being pushed off the rooftop? What exactly do you mean, Principal?"

  A teacher finally couldn't help but change color and say: "Is the principal's meaning... that the story widely spread in 707 dormitory is actually true?"

  Jiang Qicai was just about to ask, "What legend?"

  The principal suddenly gave an order: "I will find someone to deal with this matter, all of you get out! But remember not to tell anyone about this!"

  Jiang Qicai wanted to speak, but Wang Shiyu had already secretly pulled his sleeve and also gave him a look. Jiang Qicai could only silently sigh and follow the other teachers out of the principal's office.

  ……

  In the corridor, Jiang Qicai finally couldn't bear his curiosity and asked Wang Shiyu: "What's the legend about room 707 that's so mysterious?"

  Wang Shiyu looked around and said, "This isn't a place for talking! Let's go back to our dorm room and talk there!"

  Zhang Lan beside him opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute, but ultimately chose to shut it again.

  Ten minutes later.

  Jiang Qicai and Wang Shiyu, Zhang Lan two women quietly returned to the dormitory. After closing the door tightly, Jiang Qicai said: "This dormitory is not small in size? It's really a school for rich people! There are three beds inside, besides you two, another one should be Qu Ting's?"

  Wang Shiyu nodded, "She had something to attend to and went home today. Usually we play till very late before sleeping!"

  Jiang Qicai glanced at Zhang Lan and said: "You go to sleep first, I'll chat with Wang Shiyu for a while. Anyway, there's nothing for you to do here!"

  "Zhang Lan glared at him, "What do you mean? Are you asking me to give you the opportunity to commit a crime? Don't forget your identity and don't forget that this is a girls' dormitory. You pervert, are you trying to..."

  "He certainly didn't mean it like that!"

  "No way! I have to stay by your side and watch. In case something happens, the two of us are better than you alone with empty hands!"

  "Then..." Wang Shiyu glanced at Jiang Qicai and said somewhat apologetically: "Then you stay here!"

  "Suit yourself!"

  "Hmm!"

  Jiang Qicai said again: "Right, before you start telling the story, can you make me a cup of tea? I have a habit when listening to stories, I like to drink tea while listening!"

  Zhang Lan said irritably: "What's with all your nonsense? And what's your identity? You actually let me make tea for you?"

  "I'll go then! But we only have milk tea here, is that okay?"

  "Go! Thanks!" Jiang Qicai watched Wang Shiyu kick the thermos out the door, then deliberately stared at Zhang Lan's chest area with a dazed expression.

  Zhang Lan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, hugged herself with both arms, and subconsciously took a step back.

  Jiang Qicai chuckled and intentionally leaned in closer, "Come on! Give me a smile. If you don't give me a smile, I'll give you one!"

  "Ah, get out! Stinky hooligan!"

  Jiang Qicai was about to scare Zhang Lan further when a "ding" sound suddenly came from the corridor outside. It was the sound of a thermos accidentally falling to the ground.

  "Save me!" Wang Shiyu's cry came again.

  Zhang Lan's face changed again.
