Chapter 35: Li Yiqian's Answer

  "Zhang Yang, you bastard!" Chu Feifan cursed angrily.

  "Haha! Aren't you guys very fierce? Come and fight me!" Zhang Yang laughed crazily, like a madman.

  Li Yi Qian quietly gave Chu Fei Fan some soil and then nodded at him.

  As Zhang Yang looked at him, he suddenly threw the soil in his hand out. Zhang Yang covered his eyes painfully and bent down, Chu Fei Fan picked up a stick from the ground and knocked him unconscious.

  "Can you walk?"

  "Okay."

  "Alright, you go ahead and I'll carry Zuo Yi at the back."

  Li Yi Qian helped Chu Fei Fan put Zuo Yi on his back, and the three of them quickly ran towards the exit.

  The people in the school had almost all gone home, and there were no more people around. They returned to the boys' dormitory and put Zuo Yi on the bed.

  Chu Fei Fan said: "I'll give you my clothes first, go take a bath and clean the wounds on your body."

  Li Yi Qian lowered her head: "Okay!"

  Just now in the cave, he must have seen his body, now her face is red with shame, although she has been ruined, but after all, she is still a girl, lowering her head to take the clothes handed over by Chu Fei Fan, then walked into the bathroom, and soon, the sound of water came from the bathroom.

  Chu Fei Fan sat on the edge of the bed, softly calling out to Zuo Yi. Zuo Yi furrowed his brow and slowly opened his eyes: "Damn it! How did I fall asleep?"

  "You're really weird, you can even fall asleep while fighting with someone?"

  "Where's that beast Zhang Yang?" He looked around and found himself back in the dormitory. "What's going on? Was I just dreaming earlier?"

  He lifted his hand and found that the back of his hand was bleeding. That meant everything just now wasn't a dream. He looked at Chu Fei Fan with doubt.

  "Just now you were hypnotized by Zhang Yang."

  "What? He's too strong, right?! I was hypnotized in just an instant? Where's Li Yiqian?" He shook off the blood on his hand and said nonchalantly.

  "In there." Chu Fei Fan pointed towards the bathroom.

  He frowned and said in a low voice, "You actually let girls use our bathroom?"

  Chu Fei Fan helplessly spread out his hands and then pointed at Zhang Yang's bed.

  The bathroom door opened, and Li Yiqian walked out. She was wearing Chu Feifan's clothes, which made her look particularly slender and weak. Her wet hair was still dripping with water: "Ah, sorry, I didn't find a towel."

  Chu Fei Fan handed her a light yellow towel hanging from the head of the bed, which was newly bought by Zuo Yi and had not been used yet.

  Waiting for her to wipe her hair dry, Chu Fei Fan said: "Now can you tell us what exactly happened?"

  "Where's Jin'er? Have you guys seen Jin'er?"

  Chu Fei Fan's face changed, and he didn't say a word.

  "Has something happened to her? Tell me quickly." Li Yiqian said tearfully.

  "Yes, she doesn't know what illness she has contracted and is unconscious." said Zuo Yi.

  "That beast."

  "What did Zhang Yang do to her?" Chu Fei Fan's furious roar.

  "I don't know how Xu Mengguang knew that Xiao Qing was my sister, and he also knew I came to this school to investigate her death. So, he lied to me saying he knew who the killer was and asked me to meet him at the old lab building. I only thought about avenging my sister, so I didn't think much and went. But he deceived me, he wanted to...I struggled with all my might, but he gave me a drug, that kind of medicine. Just as he took off my clothes, Zhang Yang appeared out of nowhere. He first stunned Xu Mengguang, then strangled him to death. At the time, I had already lost consciousness. That beast Zhang Yang raped me and even took pictures, threatening me that if I dared to speak out, he would make the photos public. I could only listen to him. He also threatened me that if I dared to report to the police, he would kill me just like he killed Xu Mengguang. I was very scared, so I listened to his words."

  "But didn't you stay in the dormitory all along? How did you end up running into a mountain cave?"

  "Zhang Yang's suspicions were particularly heavy, and he would call me over to accompany him every other day to do that thing. At first, I was unwilling, but he kept threatening me, so I had no choice but to agree. I wanted to tell Jin Er, but I didn't dare, so I wrote a diary, hoping someone could see it. But Jin Er and the others never touched other people's things, so I couldn't do anything else except write on a piece of paper and put it on my bed. The next day, Zhang Yang told me to leave school, and I could only tell Jin Er that I was going out to investigate my sister's case. But Xiao Nan insisted on coming with me, which I wouldn't agree to, but she kept insisting. So I took her to a forest and saw a house there, then knocked her unconscious and put her inside. I was afraid she would be in danger, so I stayed with her until she woke up. When she woke up, I wanted to take her away, but she fainted again. So I carried her back to the small forest near school and left her there. After that, Zhang Yang took me to a cave. Later, Jin Er found the paper I left behind and came looking for me. I thought she would come with all of you, but she went alone instead. Then she was hypnotized by Zhang Yang and lost her memory. Zhang Yang wanted to possess Jin Er, so I knocked him unconscious and took him away, tying him up with a rope. I wanted to kill him, but he said that if he died, I would never find out the truth about my sister's death, and my photos would be leaked out. So I compromised again. I really hate myself for being useless."

  "Are you telling the truth?" Zuo Yi still didn't believe that Zhang Yang had such a powerful hypnotic technique.

  "You saved me, and Jin'er was also injured because of me. How could I possibly deceive you?"

  "We believe you, but because you are Jin'er's friend and also saved her, we will protect your safety. We also know that you are eager to find the killer who killed your sister, however, being impulsive is not a solution, it will only harm yourself. From now on, don't take private actions again. I think Jin'er also hopes to catch the killer of your sister, so we will all help you." Chu Fei Fan handed her a cup of water.

  "Thank you so much!"

  "Now school is on holiday, you go home first! It's not safe here." Zuo Yi said.

  "I've lost my home, I sold our house to make up for the money to come to school."

  Chu Fei Fan took out his mobile phone and called Lin Yuan to tell her that he had found Li Yi Qian, and then asked about Su Jin Er's situation. After that, he told Li Yi Qian to go find Lin Yuan.

  "In a while, we'll send you back to your dormitory. You pack up your luggage and go find Lin Yuan, she will help you. This is her phone number."

  "Thank you so much!"

  They accompanied her to change clothes, pack up luggage, and then get on the car, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

  "Let's go see how that bastard is doing?" Chu Fei Fan said, looking at the taxi driving away.

  "Hmm! How's Jin'er doing?" They walked towards the woods while talking.

  "It's still the same, no signs of waking up at all. The doctors say there's nothing wrong with her brain and they can't find any cause for the illness."

  The figure of Zhang Yang had already disappeared in the cave, he had escaped.

  "We'd better report to the police! If we don't, it's impossible for them to investigate. I really don't know when China will produce a Sherlock Holmes!" Zuo Yi said with his arms crossed.

  "There are many Holmes in China, we just haven't met them yet."

  "Call the police? The most important witness has left, how can we call the police?" Zuo Yi said with a smile.

  "Right! I was so tense that I forgot about this, but fortunately, I still have a trick up my sleeve." Chu Feifan waved his phone around.

  "You recorded it."

  The police took away the things in the cave and Chu Fei's mobile phone, and questioned them again. The police said they would notify the city police to make arrests and find witnesses for questioning, and then let them go.

  "These police really know how to perfunctorily handle things!"

  "Who made you a police officer?! If you're capable, you can be a police officer too."

  "Ah! I really regret not learning Taekwondo properly earlier, otherwise that kid wouldn't have been so arrogant and I wouldn't have hurt my hand." Zuo Yi shook his bandaged hand.

  "Did you knock out his teeth?"

  "Could it be that his teeth didn't fall out? Was I not using enough force?"

  "In that situation, who has the mood to care if his teeth have fallen out or not!"

  Xu Mengguang's case is over, but who killed the others? And what about Wu Nannan, was she an accidental death or murdered?

  They were not happy that they had caught the killer who killed Xu Mengguang, they thought these cases might have been committed by one person, but now it seems that another more terrifying killer is still at large. The school was already deserted, and even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to find any important clues, but before leaving, they went to the mountains again, not expecting to find any clues, and even if there were clues, they would have been buried after several heavy snowfalls.

  "Knowing we won't find any clues, why bother going?" Zuo Yi said discontentedly.

  "I don't know either, I just feel that although my brother isn't a good person, he's still my brother after all, and I want to know how he died."

  Others may think that his brother is a bad person, but he can't. He still remembers when he was bullied as a child, his brother always stood up for him and beat those people until they were bruised and swollen. Although he himself didn't care like others, his brother always gave him the best things.

  His mother didn't like him, saying he was unlucky and always spoiled himself. His brother wasn't angry at all, but instead protected him everywhere. Although it was clear that he had broken the vase, his brother would take the blame for him and then be punished. Yet, his brother still treated him well. He felt that he could never repay his brother's kindness in this lifetime. When he found out that his brother had died, he was heartbroken and fell seriously ill. Now that he finally has a chance to repay his brother, how can he give up? No matter what lay ahead, whether it be wolves or tigers, he was determined to investigate because his brother wouldn't commit suicide and wasn't stupid enough to let himself get burned to death by fire. He was so clever, how could he have made such a foolish mistake? And during the escape, he even allowed himself to get drunk, so he simply didn't believe it.
