Prelude to a counterattack
A group of people ran furiously to the school building, all the way to the sad-faced contestants who glanced up at them listlessly and then lowered their heads in a haggard manner.
Sai Liaoer, still not sure what was happening, asked blankly while running, "Why are we running? What is Jiang saying? Why are they sad?"
Wen Renlian gave him a pitying look, "We'll take you to get number one."
Sai Liaoer was surprised for a moment, then giggled, "Did we win?"
Ge Zhu sighs, "Sai Liaoer, you're so happy." Nothing to do, mixing and mingling to get through.
By the time they got to the office, Liu Zhi had already been seized by the police. Clearly not expecting the sudden arrest, his meticulously combed hair was disheveled and he was escorted to the car in a state of disarray.
The other teachers spoke in a chorus, "Comrade police, why are you arresting Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu hasn't done anything illegal."
Jiang Luo stood on the outskirts of the crowd and watched the scene.
The tournament obviously knew that there had been a murder here, even knew how it happened, who the killer was, who the victim was.
They called the police ahead of time, and whether or not any of the students were able to get their answers at the end, the police would storm the school and arrest the culprits the moment the game was over.
Without alerting the murderer or even conducting a search, Jiang Luo had no other choice but to deduce the whole story, except for the judges and teachers.
He touched the yin-yang ring, which had never been turned on, and returned to his senses as he and his companions made their way through the crowd and into the office.
Surprisingly, however, by the time they arrived, the people from Shanhai University were already preparing to smash the wall.
Liu Zhi's office is by the window, with no other desks or chairs behind it, but rather an open space, followed by a white wall.
The width of the outer wall is usually 240mm, but Jiang Luo can see at a glance that the wall is 360mm wide, which is more than enough to fit a person in.
Bai Yefeng is sitting at Liu Zhi's desk.
He flipped leisurely through a newspaper, the light from the incandescent lamp hitting his face, cutting an uneven straight line between light and dark.
If you add a brand new suit and shoes to Bai Yefeng, you get the standard teacher look.
"You guys are here," Bai Yefeng put the newspaper down and looked at the slightly out of breath Birch University crowd with a smile, "Why did you come in such a hurry?"
Jiang Luo's face was slightly reddened from running, and beads of fine, clear sweat were seeping out from the corners of his forehead as he said with a smirk, "Classmate Bai, what are you guys doing?"
Bai Yefeng gave a "hmm", "We're looking for answers."
"Coincidentally," Jiang Luo smiled as he walked through the people of Shanhai University and placed his hand gently on the wall, "we're looking for answers too."
Originally, Jiang Luo has no attachment to the first not the first.
But after realizing that Bai Yefeng wanted to be number one, this number one, he just had to have it.
Chi You manipulated Bai Yefeng into coming to this match for the sole purpose of Primordial Heavenly Pearl being worth all the trouble the Evil Ghost went through.
I can only say that this Primordial Heavenly Pearl is indeed a good thing, so that even the evil spirits can't be tempted by it. Jiang Luo followed the Primordial Heavenly Pearl and thought of the Primordial Heavenly Pearl that was lost by the owner of the funeral parlor on the 7th day of Chi You's death.
Was the Primordial Heavenly Pearl lost that day taken by Chi You? Because of absorbing that Primordial Heavenly Pearl, did Chi You become so powerful on that day?
If that was the case, Jiang Luo would never let Chi You get Primordial Heavenly Pearl again.
He smiled and touched the wall, "White student, I got through to two calls two nights ago from the first missing girl of the year, she wanted me to dig her up and get her relief, I promised her a good promise, and now you're doing this, it's making it a little hard for me to do it."
The people from Shanhai University opened their mouths to scold him, but good looking people always have some privileges, they mumbled half a dozen words at Jiang Luo's smile, and one by one they turned their heads to Bai Yefeng.
Bai Yefeng stood up and walked step by step to Jiang Luo's front and said with a low smile, "Mr. Jiang, everything is about first come first served."
Jiang Luo looked at him calmly, his beautiful eyes slowly picking up and the corners of his lips slowly pulling back, "Bai Yefeng, you turned out to know first come first served as well."
He Yu Guang glanced over the students of Shanhai University on the side and said with a smile, "You clearly also heard the conversation between me and the female ghost last night, from which you learned the location where the female ghost hid the body. As a result, today, you directly brought people straight here and told me about the first-come-first-served principle?"
"There's no need to say you didn't hear me, I won't believe your lies," Jiang Luo looked to one of the boys from Shanhai University, "Hey, how did Bai Yefeng lead you guys here? Did you follow the clues, or did you suddenly realize the answer was here?"
"This ......" Beads of sweat slid down the boy's head as he couldn't say anything else.
Because Jiang Luo was telling the truth, Bai Yefeng did not say anything and took them directly to the office.
Even when they were ready to smash the wall, they didn't know what they were going to do with it.
Stealing other people's answers for your own use, although you can do anything to win, but in the eyes of this group of college students who have not yet graduated, such behavior is too disgraceful.
Is this really what Bai Yefeng would do?
Xu Yan opened his mouth and tried to speak for Bai Yefeng, Wen Renlian walked to Xu Yan's side and gently patted his shoulder, "Classmate, be honest, did you guys really find the clues that the body was found inside the wall?"
Xu Yan hesitated and eventually closed his mouth.
Jiang Luo looked around and finally placed his eyes on Bai Yefeng's body with a hidden smile, "Classmate Bai, who do you think came first?"
Bai Yefeng looked deeply at Jiang Luo, his eyes like darkness, slowly encroaching on Jiang Luo.
One of the people in the crowd smashing the wall suddenly threw something away and said stubbornly with a reddened face, "I'm not going to smash it, it's not a clue we found, I don't want it even if it's given to me."
The person beside him pulled him, and the boy said even louder, "What are you pulling me for? Anyway, if I lose, I lose, I have a clear conscience!"
A shaken look appeared on the faces of the others as they looked hard at the wall and then at the tools in their hands.
When Jiang Luo was in a difficult situation, he suddenly sighed, "Forget it, let's each take a step back and consider it as the answer we discovered together."
All eyes went to him.
Jiang Luo laughed bitterly, "I believe that student Bai is justified in doing this, he just wants to lead you guys into the next level. There are less than twenty people from both of our schools combined, so since we're all here, why don't we work together to enter the next level."
These words were said in an atmosphere that was incomparable, making the people of Shanhai University ashamed, they were also hostile to Jiang Luo before, and scolded Jiang Luo behind his back, but they did not expect Jiang Luo to be so spontaneous, not to pursue the previous matters not to mention that, but also to directly give them half of the answer.
They were grateful and ashamed in their hearts, and for a time their lips opened and closed, unable to say anything.
Zhuo Zhongqiu moved his wrist, "Together then? Let's dig up the body first."
Seeing that no one retorted, they were about to make their move, but the people from Shanhai University stopped them in unison. These young men muffled their voices and said, "We'll smash, you guys just watch."
After that, they all started smashing up the wall in unison.
The wall was quickly smashed out with several thin cracks, and as soon as the cracks opened, maggots gushed out along the cracks. The students from Shanhai University exclaimed in shock and smashed the wall even harder.
Jiang Luo at the side of the calm and relaxed watching, obviously almost by others to take away the fruits of victory, but now tricked others willingly and guiltily smashed the wall for him, he did not have half a point of embarrassment.
There was a man who walked softly on his feet to his side.
Bai Yefeng looked at the wall and muttered to himself, "You're amazing with that mouth of yours."
Jiang Luo smiled sideways at him and opened his smile, those bullshit lips red and open, soft and beautiful, and he said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The wall was smashed open by the crowd, revealing four bodies. With the addition of Wang Xinhui, this matches the number of girls who have disappeared since 2012.
They were facing backwards with their backs to the crowd, and their hair and bodies were already full of bugs, and the stench of decay filled the office in between in no time.
One of the female corpses is facing Liu Zhi's desk with her back straight up.
With the last problem solved, Jiang Luo pulled out his cell phone and sent a message, turning his head to Bai Yefeng, he said in a manner that could be described as gentle, "Bai, I still have a few questions that I haven't solved yet, can you come with me to look for clues?"
Bai Yefeng smiled and said, "Of course."
After that scene just now, it seemed that not only was he not angered by Jiang Luo, but he was even more excited about it.
But the heart of an evil spirit, who can tell what horrible and cruel thoughts may be in it.
The two went out of the office alone.
It was an overcast day, with black and blue clouds shrouding the distant sky, closing in as if to encircle Evergreen High School in the center.
"There's a swimming pool in the old campus," Jiang Luo said with a smile, "Jin Yuangao said that he and the female ghost used to date there when he was alive, and he also hid underground through the sewer of the pool. I'm curious as to why the female ghost wouldn't kill Jin Yuangao after he hid in the sewer. Ms. Bai is very knowledgeable, let's go and take a look together?"
The swimming pool was at the back of the school, and it was still filled with water. Inside the quiet swimming pool, ghostly blue water ripples drifted silently.
Instead, they saw what looked like a man in the middle of the pool.
The man sank to the bottom of the water and appeared to have drowned.
Being a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person, Bai Yefeng frowned unnoticeably, with no ripples in his eyes, but still jumped into the water to save others.
His actions were swift and agile, grabbing the man and trying to swim upstream. But to his surprise, he only grabbed an empty shirt.
Bai Yefeng froze, his face snapped to a grimace, and he returned the way he had come, just emerging from the water when a foot in a Martin boot landed on his shoulder.
The uppers of the Martin boots were clean and free of a speck of dust, but the soles of the feet held the mud that had just traveled all the way down, stamping an even gray mark on Bai Yefeng's shoulder.
Bai Yefeng looked up expressionlessly along with the shoe, sweeping it over Jiang Luo's overalls and blouse and landing on Jiang Luo's face.
Jiang Luo condescendingly looked at him, her long hair spread out at her shoulders.
He held a dagger in his hand, the tip of which was wrapped in a talisman that rested against the center of Bai Yefeng's eyebrow.
The red mole on the back of the black-haired youth's left hand looked like freshly dripped blood, and one of his feet lifted up with extreme strength and resilience to firmly stomp Bai Yefeng into the cold pool water.
The dagger held in his right hand had an extra ring than the previous one, which was attached to his white wrist, the ankle bone of his hand protruding gently and stuck under the iron ring, so that if anyone tried to take the knife from him this time, they would have to cut off his entire hand.
"Lo and behold, our Mr. Evil Ghost," Jiang Luo crooked her head, her arrogantly voluptuous brow tinged with a mocking smile, "he's fallen for it."
