Chapter 49 Lu Zuozi
The first victim in the team appeared, and the atmosphere of the entire team froze.
The new girl looked at the mess in the house and carefully asked if she needed to clean the scene to dispose of the corpse. Ruan Nanzhu shook her head and said, "No, the corpse will disappear soon." This matter Inside the door, the corpse will always disappear in various ways.
The girl didn't seem to understand what it meant to disappear soon, her expression was full of anxiety and trembling all over her body. And she is obviously not the only one who is afraid, and the faces of the others are not very good-looking, and there is no one to speak.
Lin Qiushi was accustomed to such things, so he seemed relatively calm, but Xia Rubei's face was pale, and after glancing at the corpse, she hid in the house and refused to come out again.
Seeing her timid appearance, Lin Qiushi was a little curious about how she got through the three doors before. Is it all relying on Li Dongyuan's belt? But looking at Li Dongyuan, he is not the kind of person who wakes up early, but he doesn't know what advantages Xia Rubei has to make him protect him like this.
"Let's go, let's go to the archives room today to see if we can find the materials of the third and second classes of high school." After reading the corpse, Ruan Nanzhu proposed today's itinerary.
"Okay." Li Dongyuan nodded.
So the four of them were going to go out to the cafeteria to have breakfast first, and then go to the archives.
Probably because of seeing the corpse, Xia Rubei's appetite was very poor, the food in front of her didn't move, and her brows kept frowning.
Fortunately, Ruan Nanzhu seems to be thinking about something at the moment, otherwise I'm afraid there will be another play.
Seeing that Xia Rubei didn't have the appetite to eat, Li Dongyuan persuaded her a few words, but when she saw that she would not let go, she sighed and gave up, thinking that when she was hungry, she would naturally want to eat.
The location of the archives is relatively remote, in the corner of the school. The entire archive has three floors, and it looks a little old. The manager was an old man in his 60s. Ruan Nanzhu took the initiative to negotiate, but he did not stop him and agreed to the four of them to go to the archives to check the information.
There was a musty smell of old paper in the archives, which made people smell very uncomfortable. Xia Rubei went in and started coughing in a low voice. Li Dongyuan asked her what was wrong.
"I seem to be allergic to dust mites." Xia Rubei said with difficulty.
"Then wait at the door." Li Dongyuan didn't force her.
Xia Rubei nodded happily. The lighting in the filing room was dim, and there were tall filing cabinets everywhere. It was quite scary to look at from the outside, let alone go inside. Xia Rubei was naturally happy that she didn't have to follow along. Li Dongyuan told her to sit at the door and not move, they would come out as soon as possible.
The three walked inside, and Ruan Nanzhu said with a half-smile, "I didn't see it, the leader of Bailu is such a person who loves fragrance and jade."
"Mengmeng, are you jealous?" Li Dongyuan looked at Ruan Nanzhu with a smile.
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's not to be jealous, I'm just curious, what is the charm of this Xia Rubei that makes you so used to it."
Li Dongyuan didn't answer at all, just said with a smile, "Sure enough, I'm jealous."
Seeing that he refused to speak, Ruan Nanzhu didn't ask any more, and turned around and entered the archives.
The archives are classified by time. After searching for a while, they quickly found the materials of the third and second class three years ago, and the senior three students at that time were freshmen who had just entered the school.
Ruan Nanzhu stretched out his hand and took down the files belonging to them. When he opened the first page, he saw a group photo with the words "Second Class, Second Class" written in black carbon pen on the back.
"I found it." Ruan Nanzhu said, "This is a group photo of their class."
Lin Qiushi approached Ruan Nanzhu and saw the photo in his hand.
This photo looks very ordinary, and there is nothing special about it. The students in the photo look very immature, and there are teachers of various subjects standing on both sides.
Ruan Nanzhu said: "There are thirty-four people in their class..." He suddenly frowned, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the photos."
Lin Qiushi didn't find anything wrong, but Ruan Nanzhu said so, he must have sensed the sense of disobedience, but he couldn't tell where the sense of disobedience was.
"Wait..." Lin Qiushi suddenly made a new discovery. He said, "Thirty-four people? But there are only thirty-three in this photo."
There are eleven people in a row, three rows in total, all of them are in the correct position, and the number of people in this class can be counted at a glance.
"Yes! It's the number of people!" Ruan Nanzhu said, "There are thirty-four written in this information. Where are the other people?"
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu looked at each other and saw the same expression in each other's eyes. Obviously, the one they all thought was missing was Sako.
"There should be specific information about the classmates." Li Dongyuan took the file and began to read it carefully. He quickly turned to the student's file, "...This page was torn off."
There should have been thirty-four pages of the file, but at this time there were only thirty-three pages left, one of which was torn away, like the person who disappeared in the photo.
"We've met this person." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly pointed to someone in the photo.
"Have you seen it?" Lin Qiushi was taken aback by Ruan Nanzhu.
"Don't you remember?" Ruan Nanzhu said, "The senior we met at dinner yesterday."
Lin Qiushi naturally remembered: "But isn't he from the third class of high school?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Of course he is in the third class of high school. Now whether there is a third and second class in this school is a problem."
Lin Qiushi: "Are you saying that everyone in the third and second class of high school is dead?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's possible."
Since the man didn't die, it means that he must have done something special to escape from the bad luck. This is a very important clue.
The three of them turned around for a while, wanting to see if there was any other information.
Just as they were looking for information with their heads lowered, Lin Qiushi heard footsteps coming from the bookcase next to him. At first he thought it was Xia Rubei, and he shouted, but later he felt that it was not right, because the footsteps were not. Rhythmic left foot and right foot, but a very subtle dong dong dong... just like the jumping sound heard in the teaching building before.
Lin Qiushi reached out and grabbed Ruan Nanzhu's hand, raising his chin.
Ruan Nanzhu obviously didn't hear the voice, but seeing Lin Qiushi's face, he still understood that he must have found something.
"Let's go." Lin Qiushi said, "I'm almost looking for it anyway."
Li Dongyuan wanted to say something, but Ruan Nanzhu made a silent gesture, so he understood it and said, "Okay."
The three put down the files and started walking towards the door.
Just when they had just taken a few steps forward, the heavy filing cabinet behind them suddenly fell down and hit the place where they were standing.
The loud noise attracted the administrator. The administrator was very angry when he saw the fallen filing cabinet, and he reprimanded them.
Ruan Nanzhu didn't argue, but apologized in a low voice. After all, she is a beautiful girl, and her soft appearance is really pitiful. The archivist finally let them go and didn't continue to blame.
The three of them were able to leave. After walking to the door, Ruan Nanzhu whispered, "Did you see it?"
Lin Qiushi: "What did you see?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "There are bloody handprints behind the cabinet."
Lin Qiushi: "No."
Li Dongyuan said enthusiastically, "I saw it."
Ruan Nanzhu: "It doesn't matter, it's useless to see it."
Li Dongyuan: "..."
Lin Qiushi didn't know whether to laugh or cry listening to the conversation between the two.
When the three of them arrived at the door, they saw Xia Rubei sitting on the chair by the door and were bored. Seeing them come out, they said, "You are so fast? Did something happen to the voice inside?"
"The filing cabinet is down." Li Dongyuan, "It was pushed."
"I was pushed by someone? Was it the one who just entered?" Xia Rubei asked.
"People who just entered? Anyone else entering the archives?" Ruan Nanzhu grasped the point of her words.
"Yes, a girl said she was a school student, and the person in charge of the files let her in." Xia Rubei folded her arms and looked terrified, "Didn't you see?"
"No." Ruan Nanzhu shook his head.
Lin Qiushi did hear the sound of someone coming in, but according to what happened just now, it might not be a person at all.
"What does the student look like?" Li Dongyuan said.
"A woman, she looks quite young, I can't see her face very clearly, she has long hair." Xia Rubei, "Just a very ordinary young girl."
"That should be it." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Congratulations, you may be the first to see the boss."
Xia Rubei: "..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "With such good luck, maybe there will be double experience rewards."
Xia Rubei was almost scared to cry by Ruan Nanzhu.
Li Dongyuan helplessly told Ruan Nanzhu not to scare Xia Rubei, it's not a good thing to really scare this girl.
Ruan Nanzhu leaned on Lin Qiushi's side and said, "I'm scared too, why don't you worry about me."
Li Dongyuan: "..." Are you afraid? Why do I think you are bolder than me.
"I want to go to the toilet." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said when the three of them walked out, "Lin Lin, come with me."
Li Dongyuan said, "Let's go together."
Lin Qiushi thought to himself, friend, what are you doing so nervously, do you know that he can actually go to the same toilet as me? However, the toilets in this school are all locked compartments, otherwise Ruan Nanzhu would have the possibility of revealing her stuff.
The four of them went outside the toilet, Xia Rubei and Ruan Nanzhu went into the women's toilet, and Lin Qiushi and Li Dongyuan went into the men's toilet.
Lin Qiushi entered the cubicle and was about to take off his pants when he heard someone knocking on his toilet door. He was about to say Li Dongyuan what are you knocking on my door for, but it didn't seem right... Li Dongyuan was clearly the one who entered. Why is the toilet on the right hand knocked on the left?
"Yu Linlin." Li Dongyuan's voice rang out, "Is there any writing on your wall?"
Lin Qiushi was stunned when he heard the words, and found that there were really several lines of words on the wall behind him, but after reading the words clearly, a layer of chills appeared on Lin Qiushi's back.
I saw a few rows of small characters written in red on the white wall: It's ridiculous that Sachiko called herself Sako since she was a child. She likes bananas very much, but she can only eat half of it at a time. It's so pitiful. Will you forget me so lonely Sako...
And the last row of these words is the forbidden sentence that cannot be pronounced: I have no legs, can you give me yours.
"Did you see it?" Li Dongyuan said.
Lin Qiushi looked at the font and said silently for a moment, "I'm sorry, I don't actually know the characters."
Li Dongyuan on the left: "..."
Lin Qiushi: "My family is poor and has never been to school, so I don't know a few big characters, otherwise you'll come and see for yourself later?"
There was silence over there, and Lin Qiushi guessed that the thing trying to make him read these lines was shocked by his ignorance.
However, Lin Qiushi didn't dare to go to the toilet, and hurried out of the cubicle. Who knew that when he walked to the door, he saw the other three people were already waiting outside.
"Why so long?" Ruan Nanzhu asked him.
"Kidney deficiency?" Li Dongyuan attacked Lin Qiushi with a smile.
Lin Qiushi ignored him: "How long have I been on?"
Ruan Nanzhu looked at his watch: "Ten minutes."
Lin Qiushi sighed: "I met Zuozi inside just now."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three people froze for a moment, especially Xia Rubei, the nerves that were already tense were obviously about to break, she took a few steps back in horror: "Zuozi? It's the one in the clue. Zuko?"
"Well." Lin Qiushi said, "She imitated Li Dongyuan's voice and asked me to read the words on the wall. If there was no clue, I might have actually read it."
"Go in and have a look." Ruan Nanzhu said.
The four of them entered the men's toilet again. Xia Rubei was frightened and a little embarrassed, but Ruan Nanzhu was completely unaccustomed - after all, this was his home.
Lin Qiushi found the compartment where he went to the toilet, opened the door but found that the white walls were covered with dense red bloody handprints, completely covering up the fonts he just saw. And these bloodstains were more obvious in the compartment on the left, and even a thin layer of bloodstains accumulated on the floor. It looked like a seriously injured person had been in this compartment for a long time.
"Wait, I suddenly remembered-" Seeing the blood, Xia Rubei suddenly widened her eyes, "The girl who entered the archives just now is a lame!!"
Speaking of the cripple, they immediately thought of the missing leg of Zuozi.
"She was limping at the time, and I didn't care, but now that I think about it..." Xia Rubei's body trembled more and more.
"Let's go." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Anyway, we know the specific conditions now, just don't read it out."
At this time, the importance of clues is reflected. If it is not known in advance, it is really difficult not to be tricked. The worst thing is that you may die without understanding what is going on. And this Zuozi actually knows to destroy the evidence...
The four walked out of the archives, and the mild sunlight shone on them, dispelling a little icy chill.
"What should I do now, go find that high school senior?" Lin Qiushi asked.
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Let me see..." He took out something from his arms, and Lin Qiushi took a closer look, only to find that Ruan Nanzhu had brought out the group photo of the second class.
Lin Qiushi: "...When did you move your hand?" He stood beside Ruan Nanzhu the whole time, and didn't see him hiding the photo.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Just moved the hand just now."
Lin Qiushi: "..." This guy can unlock again, and he can follow things so well, he has begun to doubt Ruan Nanzhu's real career.
Ruan Nanzhu seemed to know what he was thinking, and didn't raise his head: "I'm not a thief."
Lin Qiushi: "Oh..."
Looking outside at this time, when the sun shines, the group photo looks even more bizarre, the color tone is dim, and everyone's expressions are stiff. Ruan Nanzhu looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Can you see it?"
Lin Qiushi: "What did you see?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "The mist on their faces."
Lin Qiushi carefully looked at the photo in Ruan Nanzhu's hand, and shook his head to make sure that he did not see the fog Ruan Nanzhu said.
"Oh, forget it." Ruan Nanzhu stopped talking.
Li Dongyuan showed a thoughtful expression.
After tossing around in the archives for so long, it was noon again, just in time to go to the cafeteria to eat something and discuss what to do in the afternoon.
During the meal, Lin Qiushi also paid attention to whether he had encountered the third year student again, but the small probability event was still not encountered by them.
Xia Rubei didn't eat anything in the morning and didn't have any appetite at noon.
Li Dongyuan persuaded her a few words, but she refused to let go, so she decided to give up.
On the other hand, Ruan Nanzhu ate deliciously, and after eating his own dishes, he was coquettish and asked Li Dongyuan to buy him two more chicken legs.
"I want to eat chicken too!" Xia Rubei, who was not planning to eat, suddenly said, facing Li Dongyuan who got up, "Brother Meng, I want three!"
Ruan Nanzhu: "I want four."
Xia Rubei: "I want five!"
Ruan Nanzhu: "I want six."
Xia Rubei gritted her teeth, her eyes turned red, and said abruptly, "I want sevenβ"
Lin Qiushi: "..." What are you comparing, and, Ruan Nanzhu, why do you bully the little girl who is so skilled? Isn't it unfair to compare a big man's stomach capacity to a little girl...
Li Dongyuan looked helpless: "Do you want to finish so much?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "I'll finish eating twice as much, but I don't want to eat too much." He smiled shyly at Xia Rubei, "I'm afraid of gaining weight." He also deliberately glanced at Xia Rubei's waist.
Xia Rubei was almost stunned by Ruan Nanzhu's qi, and was full of anger: "I'm done eating!! I'm not afraid of gaining weight!!"
Li Dongyuan had nothing to say, got up to buy chicken legs for the two of them.
A few minutes later, Ruan Nanzhu and Xia Rubei picked up the chicken drumsticks and started to eat them. The chicken drumsticks in the school cafeteria tasted good. The stewed chicken drumsticks were rotten. The gravy was rich and soft, full of the unique aroma of spices.
Xia Rubei hadn't eaten for a day, but she was actually a little hungry. Now she was eating chicken thighs to open her appetite, but she ate four in one go, reluctantly stuffed the fifth, and then stared at the remaining two and began to worry.
Ruan Nanzhu finished eating the four chicken legs unhurriedly, picked up the fifth one, and waved to Lin Qiushi after eating it gracefully: "I can't eat any more."
He said that, Xia Rubei was also relieved and whispered: "Brother Meng, I can't eat it either."
"It's okay." Li Dongyuan said, "I'll do it." He was worried that Ruan Nanzhu would continue to stimulate Xia Rubei and break his stomach, but he didn't expect Ruan Nanzhu to be measured.
After eating the chicken legs and wiping their hands, Ruan Nanzhu suggested that they go to the place where the third year of high school is taking classes.
Everyone agreed.
So a few people walked towards the direction of the teaching building.
Ruan Nanzhu was studying the strange group photo again. He seemed to have found some clues in the group photo, but Lin Qiushi couldn't see the black mist in his mouth at all... It seemed that they couldn't hear the sound that Lin Qiushi could hear. a truth.
"They seem to be in class." Walking under the teaching building, Lin Qiushi heard the teacher's voice coming from above.
"Aren't they going to have the final exam soon?" Ruan Nanzhu suddenly remembered, "How many days until the final exam?"
"I don't know, I have to ask." Lin Qiushi shook his head.
At this time, there were still more than ten minutes before the end of get out of class, and the four of them walked around the teaching building. Most of the high school students in this building, there are sixteen classes in the liberal arts and sciences, which are distributed in four to five floors.
And before the get out of class ended, they found the third class of senior three and took a photo of the classroom where the students above were.
The four waited outside for a while, and finally waited until the get out of class was over.
After the teacher left, Ruan Nanzhu walked directly into the classroom and went straight to his goal.
When the student saw Ruan Nanzhu, he obviously remembered their chance encounter in the cafeteria yesterday, and his expression became a little nervous.
"Can I talk to you?" Ruan Nanzhu said.
"What are you talking about?" The student's attitude was wary.
"Just say it here?" Ruan Nanzhu looked around.
Dazzling people are dazzling everywhere, because of Ruan Nanzhu, the eyes of the entire class are focused on the two of them.
The student pursed his lips, his expression was very tense, he stood up and said, "Go out and talk." He said, "I don't know anything."
The four followed the student to the small balcony at the end of the corridor. Ruan Nanzhu asked, "Do you mind telling us your name?"
"My name is Jiang Xinhong." The student said, "Just ask if you have anything. I'm going to class soon."
"We're investigating something about your class." Ruan Nanzhu went straight to the point and took out the photo they found in the archives, "We want to ask, what's the name of the person missing in the photo?"
He took out the photo, and Jiang Xinhong's face changed greatly after only one glance: "Where did you find this thing?"
Ruan Nanzhu raised his eyebrows: "Is this photo special?"
Jiang Xinhong didn't say a word, but Lin Qiushi saw a kind of fear from the depths of his eyes, as if the photo in front of him was not a photo, but some life-threatening ghost. He swallowed heavily, his voice trembling: "I don't know what you mean."
"Literally." Li Dongyuan said suddenly, his tone was very calm, and said, "We are not trying to embarrass you, we just want to know who is missing from the photo and what is her name?"
Jiang Xinhong stared at the photo without saying a word, but involuntarily took a step back.
"Don't you want things to end earlier?" Li Dongyuan's voice was soft, like the devil who led people to open Pantura, with a charming taste, "Speak, just say it, you are also very afraid."
Jiang Xinhong's mouth wriggled slightly and spit out a name: "Lu Zuozi."
Li Dongyuan: "Lu Zuozi?"
"Yes, it's her." Jiang Xinhong said, "a person who shouldn't exist in our class..."
He was about to continue speaking when the class bell suddenly rang and woke him up. He seemed to have realized what he had said, with a frightened expression on his face. He ignored Li Dongyuan's words and turned around and ran away.
Li Dongyuan looked at his back with a helpless expression: "Just a little bit."
"That's right." Ruan Nanzhu gave Li Dongyuan a deep look, "It's only a little bit, really, it's a pity."
