Chapter Seventeen Suspicion

  When they returned to the dormitory, Du Xiaonan had already woken up. She sat on the bed, staring straight at the outside with her eyes wide open. Even when the two of them came in, she didn't have any reaction.

  "Xiao Nan, are you awake? How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Su Jiner asked, standing beside the bed.

  Du Xiaonan still had no reaction, she hugged her knees against the wall, motionless, just like a sculpture.

  Su Jiner and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance, then she climbed onto Du Xiaonan's bed: "Xiaonan, where did you go to investigate? What happened?"

  "She's coming, she wants to kill us all, we're all going to die."

  Her words came out quickly, like scattered beans, her eyes were filled with fear, but despite that, her gaze was still fixed straight ahead.

  "Who? Who did you say came?"

  "She's here, go away! Don't come looking for me."

  "Be careful!"

  Du Xiaonan suddenly pushed Su Jiner in front of her with force, like a madman. Because she was unprepared, she almost fell off the bed.

  Du Xiaonan hugged her shoulders and shrank into the corner, looking out the window in terror. However, there was nothing outside the window, but no one knew what she had seen.

  "What should we do? Now her mental state is so bad that she can't ask anything, Qianqian has been missing for a day, I don't know if she will be in any danger?"

  "Should we call the police?"

  "Even if we call the police, we have to wait 48 hours. Let's take a look at what happened five years ago first? And who is that person Du Xiaonan was talking about?"

  "What about Xiaonan? Look at her now."

  Su Jiner turned her head to look at Du Xiaonan on the bed, she was surprised to see that Du Xiaonan had already quietly lain down and fallen asleep.

  "When did she sleep?" She asked in a trembling voice.

  Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "I didn't notice!"

  What happened to Du Xiaonan? Why did she become abnormal after coming back, where did they go?

  Looking at Du Xiaonan who had fallen asleep, Su Jin'er said: "Forget it, let's take a look at what really happened five years ago!"

  They sat down and began to flip through those thick documents.

  Most of the information was school records about what activities the school held, what activities they participated in, and some useless information. However, among those activities, Li Yiqing's name appeared, and another person's name caught their attention. It was a girl's name, which seemed to be Li Yiqing's good friend from the information. The girl's name was Liu Mengmeng. At that time, Liu Mengmeng lived in the same dormitory as Li Yiqing, which means she also lived in room 414, and she didn't die. So where is she now? Does she know any inside information?

  "As for this Liu Mengmeng, we need to investigate." Su Jiner said while flipping through the documents below.

  "Jin'er, look here!" Su Jin'er leaned her head towards Lin Yuan. "In the 76th school year, student Li Yiying committed suicide due to excessive academic pressure. Her best friend Liu Mengmeng suffered a severe illness after being unable to withstand the blow and subsequently dropped out of school."

  "In other words, Liu Mengmeng directly dropped out of school after Li Yiqing's death. What kind of relationship did they have that was so good that she would drop out of school due to her best friend's death? There must be something fishy going on here."

  "It's not just that! Look, during Liu Mengmeng's illness, another classmate in the same dormitory, Zhuang Xiaoyan, went to visit her in hospital and then returned to school and also took her own life. Isn't this too strange?!"

  "This Zhuang Xiaoyan should be the second girl who died of 414 that Ouyang Chunxiao mentioned!" Su Jiner rubbed her temples: "Why did they want to commit suicide? What conspiracy is hidden in this?"

  "Huh? How did this get torn off?" Lin Yuan flipped to the next page, frowning as he said.

  Su Jiner took a look: "It seems that someone has taken the information before us, this person must be the murderer. Let's go and find Chu Feifan."

  Tingzi Li

  They handed those materials to Chu Fei Fan and Zuo Yi for a look, Chu Fei Fan said: "We'd better sort out the clues we had first! Only then can we see where the problem lies."

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  The autumn atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker, most of the leaves have fallen off, and the few remaining leaves are trembling in the autumn wind, almost unable to withstand the autumn wind's ravages, swaying precariously.

  Then comes a series of strange things they encountered after entering this school.

  First, during military training, there were ten people in total. On the way to find the banner, they first met a woman who was burning something and heard the word "curse" from her mouth, but it's unclear what the curse is. Then, the first person to die, Xu Mengguang, saw a white shadow. Next, Su Jiner heard someone crying, but everyone ignored it. Later, Zuo Yi found many white bones at the place where the banner was located, but when they were about to return, they got lost on the way back. Afterwards, they all fell asleep at some point and had the same strange dream. Currently, they only know that Li Yiqian's dream is different from theirs, but it's unclear what Xu Mengguang dreamed of. However, Zhang Junsheng might still be able to ask about it.

  "Have you guys looked for Zhang Junsheng? I always feel like he's hiding something from us." Su Jiner asked.

  "No! Next is our return to school, oh, do you still remember what Xu Lingling said that morning about seeing Xumingguan's corpse?" Chu Feifan said.

  "Of course I remember."

  "Maybe she really saw his body, it's just that when we went there, it had already been taken away by someone."

  "Wait a minute, let's think about those later. Let's sort out the clues first! I'm really feeling confused now!" Lin Yuan said with doubt.

  She didn't know if they felt confused, but everyone else did, as if someone had deliberately tangled the clues into a mess, making it impossible for them to investigate.

  "After that, we went back to school. Then, Xu Mengguang's body first disappeared and then suddenly fell from the girls' dormitory building. Next was the knocking sound we heard in our dorm room, but there was no one outside, as well as the strange characters on the wall. Following that was Li Ran's death. What is the connection between these events? Oh right, what about the monster we encountered last night?" Lin Yuan furrowed her brow and recounted everything she knew, of course skipping over the part where Li Yiqian took Su Jiner's underwear as a condition for exchange and the fact that Li Yiqing was her sister.

  "I think this Li Yi-qian is strange, by the way, what was the relationship between Li Yi-qing who died five years ago and Li Yi-qian that we saw in the information earlier?" Zuo Yi suddenly asked.

  Su Jiner and Lin Yuan exchanged a look, although they were now investigating with Chu Fei Fan, it was not clear whether they were friends or foes, so some things they still kept hidden.

  Su Jin'er had never thought that it was because of her distrust of them that led to the subsequent tragedy.

  They shook their heads and said: "Qianqian didn't say she knew Li Yiqing, just because the names are similar doesn't mean they know each other!"

  Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi nodded in agreement, not saying anything else. In fact, Chu Feifan knew that Su Jiner and the others were still hiding something from them, but he didn't dare to say it out loud either.

  "By the way, apart from the student union president, who else has the key to the data room?"

  "Does this have anything to do with what we're looking for?"

  "Well, because some of those documents had been torn apart."

  Everything they knew and didn't know was tangled together like a mess, unable to be sorted out. The missing Li Yi-qian still had no news, and the abnormal Du Xiao-nan was still sleeping soundly on her dormitory bed. No one knew what had happened to them.

  Chu Feifan rubbed his nose and said, "You say Li Yiqian is missing, and Du Xiaonan has become very abnormal. Maybe we should start investigating from here, who knows, we might get some results."

  Su Jiner smoothed out her wind-blown hair and said, "I thought so too. So this morning, I went to the woods that Xiaonan mentioned with Xiao Yuan, and I found this."

  She took out Li Yiqian's hair clip from her pocket and handed it over to them.

  "You said you guys went to that forest this morning?"

  "Right! We went." Lin Yuan looked at Chu Fei Fan's suddenly red face with a mixture of surprise and amusement, she also thought of the scene they saw in the woods, she wanted to see how this big handsome guy would explain that situation.

  "Have you seen anything else?" Chu Feifan's face turned red and white alternately.

  Lin Yuan wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Su Jiner: "It's just that I found this hairpin, and I want to hear your opinions."

  Chu Fei coughed awkwardly: "I also think Li Yi Qian is very strange, although we've only met her twice, but I feel like she has some kind of worry, and always has a mysterious look on her face, and intentionally or unintentionally leads us to the supernatural aspect."

  Su Jiner also felt it, but because she knew that Li Yiqian was trying to avenge her sister, some strange behavior was also very normal. Now she didn't know if she should tell these things to the two boys in front of her. The situation had not yet taken shape, and anyone could be the murderer, so she couldn't help but guard against it.

  But why did she have to believe Li Yi-qian so much? Didn't she take things from her own back and exchange them with others?

  Seeing Su Jin'er fall silent, Chu Fei Fan habitually touched his nose and said: "I think we should go find Zhang Junsheng first! Maybe he'll tell us something sooner."

  "You think we haven't tried to find out? He wouldn't say anything, just told us not to investigate further, saying it's no good for us." Lin Yuan said with a curl of his lip.

  Zuo Yi suddenly stood up and said: "Hehe! The more he says that, the more curious I become. He doesn't want us to investigate, but we must investigate even more. Let's go find him together." Then, he bent down again and mysteriously said: "And also Du Xiaonan from your dormitory, we need to thoroughly investigate her too."
