Lingqiu Lake and Wanderings (4)

  The X Academic Building is located in a corner of the campus, which was already quite old. It's said that there used to be a public cemetery behind it, and superstitious people would say it was eerie and haunted, but they've all been relocated by now.

  Even so, the back of Building X is still a place where most girls turn pale at the mention of it. Few people are willing to go there and take a look. Most people shake their heads when talking about it, saying that it's really not a place you can go to.

  "What happened there?" Xia Zhu asked a passing boy.

  The boy's expression changed instantly: "You're talking about the haunted building? That building hasn't been visited by anyone for many years, and it's said that some students died inside back then."

  "How did he die?" Xia Zhuliang showed his police badge to the boy, who looked at it and changed his expression slightly: "This has alarmed the police?"

  "Isn't it normal for the police to come and take a look when someone dies?" Lin Yuanxu said discontentedly.

  "Oh," the boy muttered, lighting a cigarette, his expression somewhat despondent: "This place has had accidents before, and now you're coming to ask questions is too late."

  "Please tell us in detail what exactly happened here."

  The boy explained: "At the beginning, the reputation of the haunted building was not that loud. Mainly because the building had been abandoned for a long time, and there were adventure teams from school who wanted to go in and take a look. At that time, it was three boys and two girls, imitating Japanese movies, going in to explore. As soon as they entered, the boy heard a scream and was startled, jumping out immediately and pulling another one out with him. The remaining boy and two girls continued on, but soon discovered that the boy had wandered off. Not far ahead, they found the boy hanging from the end of the corridor, already dead. After coming out, one girl went crazy and the other became stupid, both eventually dropping out of school."

  "With such a big case, why didn't anyone report it?" Xia Zhu was somewhat dissatisfied.

  No matter who hears that such an absurd thing has happened in a school, they will not take it lightly, let alone when things are so suspicious now.

  "They reported it," Lin Yuan said with a deep gaze, saying lightly beside him: "I remember that there was indeed such a case back then, the police should have come, and the media also had reports, but later it came to nothing."

  "Why?" Xia Zhu looked over.

  Lin Yuan stretched out his hands: "There is no evidence to prove that it was a murder, and later it could only be concluded that the boy committed suicide due to too much pressure, and the two girls were frightened into madness. The deputy director resigned in shame, and from then on, he never touched criminal investigation again."

  The boy waved his hand: "So you guys came to ask me after so long, I'm quite surprised."

  "Why are you so clear about these things?" There's never a shortage of strange occurrences in this world. When something that has nothing to do with oneself happens, most people just let it go and don't think much of it.

  The man fell silent again, and it wasn't until after a while that he said, "Because one of the two people who escaped was me." He tossed the cigarette butt far away, his expression somewhat disgusted.

  "We'll be in touch with you again." Xia Zhu said as he took down his phone number.

  The young man nodded his head in agreement and replied: "My name is Ning Ziting."

  "Alright." Xia Zhu smiled at Ning Ziting and turned to Lin Yuanke: "Are we going to the Ghost Building?"

  Lin Yuan stared at Xia Zhu without saying a word.

  Xia Zhu was puzzled by Zhang Yizhi's behavior and couldn't figure out what had displeased him this time.

  After a while, Lin Yuan said: "Xia Zhu."

  Xia Zhu nodded: "Yes."

  "You can't be too trusting of the parties involved, some parties may have ulterior motives towards the officer in charge, even harboring a desire for revenge. Being too close to the parties involved will affect your intuition and judgment, so..." Lin Yuan's words had barely fallen when he saw Xia Zhuo struggling to hold back his laughter, his brow furrowed as he asked: "What?"

  "I'll be careful," Xia Zhuo nodded resolutely: "Please rest assured."

  Although he felt that Xia Zhu's attitude was a bit off, Lin Yuan still responded lightly: "Hmm."

  When some emotions are amplified and described, it's like a psychological projection analysis, and foreigners have given it a fashionable name: "side writing".

  Sometimes, Xia Zhu thought that Lin Yuan Ke was a very interesting person. He didn't conform to the general psychological understanding of human nature. He was extremely indifferent to everything, yet at times he would be exceptionally persistent about certain things, such as adding double sugar syrup to his coffee, or making scrambled eggs in the morning, and...his current possessiveness towards her.

  Xia Zhu didn't know where this feeling came from. Even if she subconsciously analyzed it, she would always be interrupted by various reasons.

  Is this what Lin Yuan said... the judgment disorder caused by being too close to the parties involved?

  Xia Zhu lost his smile and decided to put aside these unrealistic thoughts.

  "Even in daylight, this building looks somewhat eerie." Xia Zhu defined.

  Lin Yuanqi gazed into the distance, his expression calm: "Rather than saying that the haunted building intimidates people, it's better to say that there are some people lurking in the school, making the entire school terrifying," He was about to reach out to Xia Zhu, but remembering what she said earlier, he withdrew his hand and said: "Horror movie girl, let's go."

  Xia Zhu cried and laughed helplessly, preparing to push the door, but was pulled back by Lin Yuanbo: "Forget it."

  Watching Lin Yuan carefully open the door, Xia Zhu felt a warm feeling in her heart. This person...

  Still the typical cold-faced and warm-hearted type.

  "I don't like this place," Lin Yuanji complained, frowning as he tripped over the clutter on the floor. "It's messy and dusty everywhere, how long has it been since anyone came here?"

  Xia Zhu flipped through the previous records: "The last time something happened was two years ago, when they had just entered school not long ago, and now they are about to graduate," Xia Zhu helped Lin Yuanxi clear away the things in front of him, walking forward while saying: "Let's go take a look at the place where something happened before?"

  "That person has a lot of problems," Lin Yuan said with an indifferent expression: "Why did he hear a scream, who was it that screamed, and why didn't the other three react? Moreover, his way of speaking is clearly not in line with how ordinary people recall a tragic event. They were all his friends, but his tone was extremely calm... either he's too insensitive or he's eerily calm."

  Although she was reluctant, Xia Zhu had to admit that Lin Yuanli said nothing wrong.

  If it weren't for her constant reminders, Ning Ziting wouldn't have even considered telling the truth.

  He is hiding something, for example ——

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Lin Yuanqie took a few steps forward, thought for a moment, and then grasped Xia Zhu's hand tightly, saying in a low voice: "Follow me!"

  Xia Zhu was pulled by him, stumbling and running forward for a while. In a daze, she felt his fingers were slightly cool, resting on her wrist. The feeling was a bit subtle, but the person in front didn't notice at all, rushing past and hiding behind the door, suddenly slamming it open.
