Chapter Fourteen Clues

  "But didn't you say we shouldn't get involved in this? And now two people are dead, this thing must be very dangerous, let's not participate anymore!"

  "Haven't you noticed? Every time something happens, we're always there. In other words, even if we don't take care of it, I think the person behind us will find a way to make us take care of it."

  "Who is that person behind? Why are you saying this? Don't you think it's Li Yiqian's sister, Li Yiying, seeking revenge?"

  "I don't believe in ghosts at all! There's cold medicine in the drawer, can you get it for me?"

  Lin Yuan took out a cold medicine from the drawer and poured a glass of water for Su Jiner, saying: "Who are you going to find?"

  "Zhang Junsheng!" Su Jiner put the medicine in her mouth and then swallowed it with river water.

  "What's the point of finding that pervert? No way, I'll go with you. At least if there's any danger, I can help you." Lin Yuan showed a desperate expression.

  "He's indeed a pervert, but also very timid."

  "Do you know that murderers are usually abnormal and also very timid?"

  "I'm not arguing with you, I just hope this case can be solved quickly and the culprit caught, so we can finish our four years of university in peace." She paused for a moment before continuing: "What about Xiaonan and Qianqian?"

  "You also know that Qianqian is determined to avenge her sister, she thinks this matter must be related to her sister's death, so she went to investigate the information of the person who died yesterday. Xiaonan was afraid that she would be in danger alone, so she accompanied her."

  "Let's go! We're going to find Zhang Junsheng." Su Jiner got out of bed, her head still a bit dizzy.

  At this time, Zhang Junsheng was hiding alone in his dormitory, staring blankly. After hearing that another person had died in the college that morning, he began to feel afraid. He nervously scanned every corner of the dormitory, as if something terrifying was lurking there, ready to pounce on him at any moment and devour him.

  Knock knock knock——

  The sudden knock on the door startled him, and he looked at the door in terror, hesitating whether to open it or not. Just then, the voice of the dormitory administrator came from outside the door.

  "Is anyone there? Is Zhang Junsheng around? Someone is looking for him." The voice outside the door was hoarse and low.

  Zhang Junsheng stood up nervously and opened the door, saying: "Who is looking for me?"

  "It's downstairs!" The old caretaker said, and turned around to go downstairs.

  After seeing the administrator's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhang Junsheng actually chuckled and smiled, with a strange smile.

  After a while, the three of them sat in a coffee shop near the school. It's not easy to open a coffee shop in such a remote place, and more importantly, the decoration is quite stylish. The coffee shop was playing soft music, which made people's hearts feel calm in an instant.

  Zhang Junsheng picked up the cup of coffee in front of him and took a sip. His complexion was waxen yellow, with severe dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for many days.

  "I think you should be very clear about our purpose in coming to see you," Su Jiner said softly.

  "Su Jiner, I know you're clever, but I still want to advise you not to interfere with this matter. This is not a problem that we can solve with our own strength." He trembled with his voice, his hands shaking so much that he almost couldn't hold the cup, and had to awkwardly put it on the table. Despite being very careful, the coffee still spilled out of the cup.

  "Why are you so scared? What do you know?" Looking at him, Su Jin'er suddenly started to sympathize with him. Although thinking of him holding her underwear made her feel disgusted, maybe he was also a victim.

  "I don't know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. I sincerely hope you won't interfere with this matter. And as for Li Yiqian, advise her to stop investigating, or else you'll both die, no one will be able to escape."

  "Why do you know about this school? Aren't you also a freshman like us? What's going on?" Su Jiner pressed tightly.

  "Yes, I'm a newbie like you guys, but it's strange that my curiosity is too strong. Curiosity can really kill people!" He leaned back in his chair weakly, his voice full of desolation, not at all suitable for someone of his age.

  "What do you know? Hurry up and say it out, maybe we can still find the murderer, so we won't die." Lin Yuan said anxiously.

  "Murderer? Ridiculous, do you think all these are man-made? Have you ever seen someone shouting for help while inserting a knife into their own throat?" Only after he finished speaking did he realize he had said too much.

  "What did you say? You mean the person who died yesterday inserted the knife into his own throat?" Su Jin'er said in surprise, she had never thought it would be such a situation.

  Next, no matter how Su Jin'er asked, Zhang Junsheng did not answer again. He just sat quietly there, motionless and staring out the window.

  In the end they had no choice but to give up asking questions. They originally thought that Zhang Junsheng would be able to clear up some of the mystery, but it seemed like the enigma was only getting bigger and bigger.

  They had just returned to their dormitory and hadn't even sat down when Su Jin'er's phone rang.

  "It's Chu Feifan, he's waiting for us downstairs in the dormitory and says he has something important to tell us." Su Jin'er said after hanging up the phone.

  Su Jin'er did not know what news Chu Fei Fan would bring her, and she would never have imagined that she would face so many tragedies.

  "What news have you brought?" Lin Yuan asked.

  At this time, they were sitting in the pavilion by the lake in school.

  "We heard from the police that the person who died yesterday seemed to have committed suicide, and there were only his own fingerprints on the knife stuck in his neck," said Zuo Yi.

  "We've already heard this from Zhang Junsheng, but what he said seemed even more terrifying." Su Jiner said.

  "What does it mean?" Chu Fei Fan asked.

  "Zhang Junsheng seemed to have seen the process of that person's death, but he refused to say anything. He only said that when the person died, he was holding a knife and stabbed it into his own throat, but his mouth was desperately shouting for help." Su Jiner said thoughtfully as she gazed at the lake water.

  "Why don't you ask him what's going on?"

  "He refused to say, he must have been scared! From what I heard, it seems like he thinks this is a paranormal event."

  "Could it still be that ghost called Xiao Qing?" Zuo Yi said with a hint of amusement.

  "I don't know, this matter is probably not so simple," Chu Feifan said.

  "Is this all the news you've brought?" Su Jiner suddenly asked.

  "Of course not, we also went to investigate the information of the person who died yesterday. Guess who it was?" Zuo Yi started to build suspense.

  "Ah! Come on, hurry up and say it, who has the time to waste with you guys here!" Lin Yuan said with a pout.

  "He is a senior student in college, more importantly, he used to be Xiaoyu's boyfriend."

  "What?" Su Jiner and Lin Yuan said in unison.

  "It's true, his name is Li Ran, but for some reason, Xiao Qing actually broke up with him. He was in a lot of pain and even fell seriously ill after Xiao Qing passed away." Chu Feifan added.

  "What else has she hidden from us?" Su Jiner said softly, she had always felt that Li Yiqian still had something unsaid, only she didn't know if Li Yiqian knew about this matter or not.

  "Who?" Chu Fei Fan asked.

  "Li Yiqian, Xiao Qing is Li Yiqian's sister. She came here to study in order to investigate the truth behind her sister's death. She said she doesn't believe that her sister would commit suicide due to academic pressure."

  When they heard Su Jin'er's words, Chu Fei and Zuo Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  "We must now investigate what happened five years ago, that within a month, five people died." Su Jin'er's voice was trembling.

  "You've also heard that rumor?" Zuo Yi asked.

  "Yeah, first it was Xiao Qing hanging herself, then two more girls hanged themselves, one fell from the top floor and another drowned, and two of them were students in class 414. What's weird is that all the people who died are girls." Su Jiner lowered her head, she didn't know why but she had a feeling that someone else would die too, this feeling made her uncomfortable.

  "There's something else, maybe you don't know," Chu Feifan said, looking at Su Jiner whose face was a bit pale. "Those girls who died were good friends, although they weren't in the same dormitory, but they were in the same class."

  "This is even stranger." Su Jiner raised her head and looked at Chu Feifan, saying: "Who told you this news?"

  "Haha! Jin'er, you have no idea! Our Chu Gongzi is really charming, even the senior sister of Class 5 is infatuated with him to the point of being crazy, and this senior sister is none other than the president of the student council, haha." Zuo Yi said with a smile.

  "Please, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Chu Feifan's face turned red and white as he said.

  Su Jiner was stunned for a moment, then said: "You're not the president yet, are you? But if that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem to get the key to the data room from her, right?"

  "This...alright!" Just thinking of that senior sister made him break out in cold sweat. He had seen girls who dared to express their feelings openly, but he had never seen anyone like his senior sister, who didn't hide anything at all. When he thought of the way she looked at him, he felt afraid, as if he had been stripped naked and was standing in front of her.

  "So tonight at 9 o'clock, we'll go to the archives room. What happened five years ago should be recorded by the school, right?"

  "Ah, in the student union's rules and regulations, there is a clear provision that every president of the student union must record major events that occur in the school. Five people dying within a month should be considered a very significant major event!"

  After deciding on the evening's affairs, they each went their separate ways to attend to their own matters. It was almost noon, and it was unclear whether Li Yiqian and Du Xiaonan had found any important clues. Moreover, Su Jiner still had some questions for Li Yiqian.

  After returning to the dormitory, they found that the two of them had not returned yet, so they went to the cafeteria to eat first.
