It wasn't until dinner time that Gu Xingchen appeared in front of everyone.

But Yu Muhuai was not by his side.

Jiang Xuyan made room for the other party and let Gu Xingchen sit in the middle.

"Where is Xiao Yu? Isn't Xiao Yu with Teacher Gu?"

"Yu Muhuai? I didn't see him." Gu Xingchen shook his head and said, "After I went back to the school doctor's office in the afternoon, I went to look at various places where ghost stories were told, and then I went directly to the cafeteria. Didn't he act with you?"

The six people looked at each other.

"Brother Yu, could it be——"

Before the words 'something happened' could be said from Tang Zinian's mouth, Yu Muhuai arrived late.

There were very few people queuing up to eat at the moment, so he sat down within a few minutes.

Facing the group's inquiries, Yu Muhuai only said calmly: "I went to the bathroom for a while."

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, he didn't explain any more.

In fact, Yu Muhuai went near the red maple tree and successfully found the place where the body might be buried.

——Facing the laboratory building, the third tree from the left.

There are traces of soil turning under the tree, and there are obvious strangulation marks on the tree.

At the same time, this tree is right next to the tree Song Qingyou climbed last night.

Song Qingyou said at the time that she climbed the tree to inspect every tree.

I just don’t know whether she chose to hide the tree in question after climbing it, or whether she never climbed it...

If Song Qingyou is suspected, then Xu Xingzhou, who has a close relationship with her, will most likely be one of the suspects.

Yu Muhuai narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if these two were the murderers.

He was silent thoughtfully, and in the eyes of Tang Zinian and others, he looked completely preoccupied. This meant that Yu Muhuai had something to hide from them, and something was very wrong.

After finishing the meal, the eight of them parted ways for the time being with a tacit understanding.

Song Qingyou said that she wanted to investigate another student involved in the poisoning case.

Zhao Yingnan and Tang Zinian both had this plan, but decided to investigate separately.

Yu Muhuai wanted to go around the laboratory building. Ostensibly he wanted to see if there were any overlooked clues, but in fact he wanted to find tools to see if it was necessary to dig out the things buried under the tree.

Xu Xingzhou, Gu Xingchen and Jiang Xuyan also investigated other strange stories in a tacit understanding.

Shu Ling was very suspicious of Yu Muhuai and Gu Xingchen, so she immediately thought of the school doctor's office and that classmate Sun from before.

She walked at the back and waited until she was sure that the two people would not go back to the school doctor's office before taking a detour.

The door to the school doctor's office opened as soon as it was opened, and the female classmate was indeed still inside.

Shu Ling walked over and asked, "Classmate Sun?"

The girl on the hospital bed turned to look at her, then lowered her head without any intention of answering.

"I'm alone here now. Can you tell me where you got those injuries?"

The girl shook her head and remained silent.

"Could it be related to campus ghost stories?" Shu Ling asked again.

The person on the bed still shook his head.

"What can you tell me?"

Shu Ling looked helpless.

She was a little doubtful whether this was the kind of NPC conversation in the game that relied on luck to trigger.

Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, Shu Ling thought for a while and simply told her about the incident where a group of people were scared last night.

"...We didn't expect that we only saw bodies hanging from trees at night, and that people jumped from the building during the day."

Classmate Sun finally opened his mouth: "I don't want to hear this."

Don't want to hear it?

Shu Ling hesitated for a moment and decided to continue.

"Then I won't talk about the latest case. I'll talk about the original case."

"The first case we investigated happened three years ago. The missing person was a student union member——"

This sentence was like turning on some switch. The girl on the hospital bed suddenly raised her head and slammed the bed, "That's enough! Don't tell me these things! I don't know anything!"

After all, he is not a professional actor, and his emotional control is not quite right. At first glance, it is just a performance.

Shu Ling understood that this must have successfully triggered a dialogue, so she asked:

"Why can't you say it? Since you don't know anything, why are you reacting so loudly?"

"Are you afraid of this, or do you have something to hide?"

Shu Ling asked several questions in succession, but the girl didn't respond.

She thought for a moment, "Could it be that the person who jumped from the building last night was related to you?"

Classmate Sun remained silent.

Shu Ling continued to speculate: "Or is the first student union member who disappeared three years ago related to you?"

The girl suddenly raised her head.

Shu Ling struck while the iron was hot: "It seems that my guess was right..."

The girl pursed her lips and spoke after a long while: "Don't tell anyone. As long as you don't tell anyone, I will tell you the news I know."

"Okay, you say."

Plan pass√

The girl lowered her head again: "My brother was also a student here three years ago. He was a high school classmate with the student union member you mentioned, and he was considered a friend. Before that person disappeared, my brother suddenly became mentally disturbed due to stimulation..."

"What's that person's name?" Shu Ling asked.

With a name, more information can be found.

The girl said a name honestly, and then said:

"The student union members are usually very busy. My brother and he often play together outside of school. I think my brother's stimulation must be related to this disappearance case, but I have never heard anything about the follow-up..."

"Did anything happen before your brother was stimulated?"

"I heard my brother and the others talking about borrowing money from their parents, saying they wanted to help a girl pay off her debt... That girl also disappeared. I think... she was the first one to disappear."

Shu Ling: "Is that girl named Huang Jiao?"

"is her."

Huang Jiao was the second missing person with detailed information that Shu Ling and his team had found. It was said that the girl was being dragged away by her brother to pay off her debt.

If Huang Jiao was the first victim, who would be the murderer? Is it that scumbag brother?

"How much else do you know? Tell me everything."

The girl shook her head, "That's all."

"Then you should rest well."

Shu Ling was a little disappointed, thinking that she couldn't stay in the school doctor's office for too long, so she got up and left.

Unexpectedly, the person on the hospital bed suddenly grabbed her sleeve, looked directly at her, and said word by word:

"Don't tell anyone these things."

"No one can be trusted."

"No one in school knows about my brother except you."

"I see."

Shu Ling nodded in agreement, said hello and took the photo, and walked straight out.

Because she was afraid of being seen, Shu Ling walked in a hurry and didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping at the door for a long time. Before she came out, she even went around to the back of the school doctor's office.

Shu Ling came out of the school doctor's office and walked towards the playground where she could easily meet other people.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in front of the teaching building, they actually met Song Qingyou and the others.

"Have you found that student?" Shu Ling walked over and asked.

"No need to check." Song Qingyou sighed, "He is already a missing person."

This also confirms that there was more than one murder that occurred last night.
