Chapter Twenty-Three Strange

  Su Jiner's body kept trembling, she lifted her head and took out her phone to call Li Jing.

  The air in the guard room became unusually oppressive. How did Grandpa Liu really die? Could the murderer really kill under the eyelids of these four people?

  Taking advantage of the police not having arrived yet, Su Jin'er walked to Liu Grandfather's corpse and looked at it seriously. She stretched out her hand wanting to see the cause of Liu Grandfather's death, but was stopped by Chu Fei Fan.

  "When Grandpa Liu died, only we were present. Those idiotic police will definitely consider us as major suspects, and we're still not sure how Grandpa Liu actually died, so it's better not to make any rash moves."

  "Right! Jin'er, you might even leave your fingerprints if you touch it carelessly!"

  Su Jiner was stunned. She had thought of these things, but the murderer was really too cruel, not even sparing the old man. She was really furious!

  She looked at Grandpa Liu's calm face and suddenly found that Grandpa Liu's lips hidden under his white beard were actually purple, which means Grandpa Liu died of poisoning. This can prove that the case is not a ghost killing.

  "Look, Grandpa Liu's lips have turned purple, which means he may have died from poisoning."

  When they heard Su Jin'er's words, several people also gathered around.

  "That's also to say these cases aren't Little Qing's ghost seeking revenge!" Lin Yuan said in surprise.

  "Even if Old Man Liu didn't die from poisoning, it can still be proven that these cases weren't caused by Xiao Qing's ghost!" Su Jin'er's eyes were still filled with tears, which made her already watery eyes look even more limpid.

  "What did you say?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

  "Motive! Murder motive." Chu Fei Fan looked at Su Jin Er and replied: "Even if it's a ghost killing people, there should be a reason for it, right? Unless this ghost has a deep grudge and needs to kill everyone before it can rest in peace, but ghosts like that are rare, we're not so unlucky as to encounter one just now!"

  "Not right, there's another possibility, that is, the death of Liu Grandfather and Li Yiqing are related. You see, Liu Grandfather's expression, he seems to be smiling, his death is very peaceful. So, it seems we've missed something?" Su Jiner furrowed her brow, she always felt that something was off, but couldn't think of what it was.

  A few people were quietly thinking about their own affairs, no one was speaking, and soon after, the sound of a police siren broke the school's silence again.

  It's already the fourth person, and the students finally know the severity of the matter. Some timid ones have asked for leave to go home, and some parents have come to take their children away directly. With such a big thing happening, the school can't refuse the requests of students and parents either. Anyway, it's almost winter break, so they just started the holiday a month early.

  At this time, the school was in a state of chaos. Of course, there were some fearless and studious students who insisted on staying behind. Su Jin'er looked at the bustling school and couldn't help but smile wryly. It had been more than half a month since Liu Ye's death, and no more murders had occurred at the school. The police still hadn't given a satisfactory explanation for the cases, and there was still no news of Li Yi-qian who went missing.

  Today's sky is still gloomy, but even though it has been overcast for a long time, not a single snowflake has floated by.

  "Xiao Yuan, are you scared?" Su Jiner suddenly asked Lin Yuan softly beside her.

  "I'm scared, but I'm also curious and want to catch the culprit with my own hands." After a pause, she continued, "But I'm worried about Qianqian, I don't know where she is now?"

  Qianqian?

  Right, they have been worried that Li Yi-qian would be in danger all along and forgot that the one who is closest to Li Yi-qing is also Li Yi-qian. So what role did Li Yi-qian play in this matter?

  "Xiao Yuan, let's go back to our dorm." Su Jiner turned around and pulled Lin Yuan towards the dorm, running.

  Perhaps all the puzzles can be solved now, but why doesn't she feel a little happy?

  "Su Jiner, Lin Yuan!"

  Just as they were about to step into the dormitory door, Chu Fei Fan's voice came from behind.

  "We found more information about Zhang Junsheng, but these materials have made the problem we face even more complicated." Chu Feifan furrowed his brow, and there were even fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

  "What materials?"

  "Zhang Junsheng's original name was indeed Zhang Jun, and he suddenly disappeared two years ago, all of which is true. However, the information below will completely eliminate all the clues we previously knew." He swallowed his saliva and continued: "Zhang Junsheng and Li Yiqian were actually students in the same year, and even classmates in the same class."

  "What?" Su Jin'er and Lin Yuan widened their disbelieving eyes.

  If the information Chu Fei Fan and Zuo Yi found was true, then those things didn't happen five years ago, but three years ago. Then how could Ou Yang Chun Xiao and Wu Nan Nan's senior sister who told them about what happened five years ago say it was five years ago?!

  All the originally clear clues have become a tangled mess again, and even that little bit of thread has been kneaded into the messy mass.

  Su Jiner seemed to have lost all her strength, and now even if she wanted to find Ouyang Chunxiao to ask for clarification, she had no chance, because she just saw that she had been taken home by her parents.

  A feeling she had never had before told her that this thing would not end like this, and someone else would be killed, and these were just the beginning of everything.

  She hated this feeling, she desperately wanted to shake off the voice in her mind, but that voice was like it had taken root in her brain and couldn't be shaken off, the pain almost made her collapse.

  At some point, the sky began to drift with snowflakes, pure white snowflakes gently falling from the air, one by one, two by two... More and more snowflakes fell in every corner of the campus. Watching the fluttering snowflakes, a sense of nameless fear surged up in her heart. She was afraid of this feeling because every time she had this nameless fear, someone would die. Would it be the same this time?

  She closed her eyes in agony, and a car appeared in her mind. It was a private car, driving smoothly on the highway. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, as if it was going to jump out of her chest. She clenched her fists tightly, her fingers turning pale.

  The fear made her want to open her eyes, and if she opened them, maybe she wouldn't see the car anymore. But the more she tried to open her eyes, the tighter they closed, and that private car became even clearer, as if it had been following closely behind her all along. This situation was exactly like the movie "Death Comes" she had seen before. The suppressed fear made her almost suffocate. Who was in the car? Was what she saw real or not?

  She wanted to call out, wanting Lin Yuan to wake herself up, but she was like a person who couldn't speak and couldn't find her own voice.

  Lin Yuan, hurry up and discover it, hurry up and wake yourself up!

  It was as if Lin Yuan had really heard her cry for help. Just as she saw a large truck crashing into the private car, Lin Yuan woke her up.

  "Jin'er, what's wrong with you? On such a cold day, why are you sweating so much?" Lin Yuan looked at her strangely: "Did you have a nightmare?"

  "Was I just with my eyes open or closed?"

  "Of course they're closed! People sleep with their eyes closed, don't they? Why ask such a strange question?"

  Lin Yuan smiled and said.

  Sleep? Aren't you standing outside the dormitory? How can you sleep? And isn't it snowing? Aren't you standing in the snow?

  It wasn't until then that she realized she was actually in her dormitory and still lying on the bed.

  She stood up and rushed to the balcony, outside the window, the campus was a vast expanse of white, snow covering the entire ground, occasionally there were one or two students who had passed through the snowy field, leaving behind a string of footprints, the sky was still drifting with big snowflakes.

  "Xiao Yuan, how did I end up in the dorm? Weren't we just talking to Chu Fei Fan and them on campus? How did we end up here? And wasn't it just snowing a moment ago? Why is there so much accumulated snow?" She was full of questions, what was going on with all this?

  Lin Yuan widened his eyes in astonishment and stared at her, then reached out to touch her forehead and said, "You don't have a fever?"

  Su Jiner pushed away her hand and said: "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?"

  "It's been snowing for a whole day and two nights? What's wrong with you? You're talking about something that happened the day before yesterday?" Lin Yuan looked at her anxious expression, knowing she wasn't joking.

  Su Jin'er was so frightened that she almost fell, she supported herself against the wall, her fingertips were icy cold. If Lin Yuan was telling the truth, then it meant that she had lost a day and two nights of memory. Why would this happen? Had anything happened during this time? She couldn't remember anything at all.

  She slapped her own head hard, Lin Yuan quickly pulled her back: "What's wrong with you? What happened when you were missing? We didn't even have time to ask you!"

  "Missing? You mean I've been missing? Tell me quickly, from the time we spoke with Chu Fei Fan and them yesterday afternoon, tell me everything that's happened since then!"

  Lin Yuan looked at her pale face and then pulled her over, making her sit down on the bed.

  "That day, they told us that Li Yiying and Zhang Junsheng were classmates, and we all found it strange. Later, it snowed, and we all returned to the dormitory. After returning, you started searching for something on Li Yiying's bed, in her drawer, and in her cabinet. I asked you what you were looking for, but you didn't tell me, just saying that you didn't know. I didn't pay much attention to it either. The next morning when I woke up, I found that you weren't in the dormitory, which scared me to death. So, I looked for Chu Feifan and others to help me find you, but we searched for a whole day without finding you. Just as we were considering whether to tell Officer Li, you suddenly returned. When you first came back, your face was pale, and your whole body was trembling. You didn't say where you had been or what had happened, just saying that you were very tired and wanted to sleep. It was already after 9 pm at that time, so I thought you must have frozen badly and didn't ask anything else, letting you sleep. Until you woke up just now."

  After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Su Jin'er became even more tense. She must have discovered something, so she went out. But what did she discover? And what did she find in Li Yi Qian's things? Why did she lose this part of her memory?

  Her thoughts were getting more and more disordered, and her head started to ache. She touched the back of her head, and suddenly found a lump there, which meant that she had been hit by someone before.
