Since there was only a street lamp outside the door at this time, the light was not that good, so the face of the man hiding outside the window and sneering at us was not very clear. Moreover, the window of the security room was very low, and the man's head could just pass the window sill, proving that he was squatting outside the window and eavesdropping on our conversation.
For some reason, I always feel that this person looks familiar. Although I can't see his face clearly, this sense of familiarity is not affected. At the same time, Bai Longfei also saw the person outside the window. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed out of the security room, probably to go out and beat him up.
I hurriedly chased after him, and saw Bai Longfei standing at the door of the security room looking forward with a surprised look on his face. I immediately looked in the direction of the person outside the window, and then I realized that this person was not squatting on the ground eavesdropping on our conversation, but a person sitting in a wheelchair. But when I looked carefully, I saw that this person was actually Yuan Hao!
The others came out as well. Lao Zhao seemed to know Yuan Hao. When he saw Yuan Hao, he suddenly realized something and immediately turned to me and said, "Oh, this person came this morning and said he was also from the special case team. He then asked us to take him around the school. I thought it was strange. He was clearly injured, so why would he come to investigate? Is this person an imposter?"
I waved to Lao Zhao and did not answer his question directly. Instead, I slowly walked up to Yuan Hao and carefully looked at Yuan Hao, whom I had not seen for a long time.
Perhaps because of the injury, Yuan Hao was much thinner than before. No wonder I didn't recognize him at first glance. There was a stall covering his legs, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on with his legs. However, Yuan Hao didn't pay attention to my gaze. He still had the same standard poker smile as before and said, "I guessed you would come today, so I came here to see my old friends."
"Who is your friend? Stop trying to get close to me! What do you want to do this time?"
Bai Longfei had no good feelings towards Yuan Hao, and immediately said coldly, and I raised my hand to tell him to stop talking, and then smiled and said: "How did you know we were coming?"
"I am recovering here, so naturally everything here cannot escape my eyes. Obviously nothing has happened here, but you all came here together. This proves that your case this time should be related to Qiongqi, right? Do you need my help?"
I didn't expect Yuan Hao to say such a thing. I was a little surprised and didn't know what to say. Bai Longfei snorted coldly: "You want to help? God knows what you are planning."
In my impression, Yuan Hao never seemed to be angry. He just smiled when he heard what Bai Longfei said, "Don't say that. I am also a member of the special case team. Although I am recovering from my injuries, I still get paid. It is my duty to help you. Besides, I have other reasons for helping you."
As he spoke, Yuan Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp, and even his voice dropped several degrees, saying: "The God Organization has completely angered my godfather. Now nothing is more important than eradicating the God Organization. We can put our affairs aside for the time being. How about joining forces to deal with Qiongqi?"
There was absolutely no flaw in Yuan Hao's demeanor and eyes when he spoke at this time. It seemed that he really hated the God Organization, but this man was unfathomable and no one knew whether what he said was true or not. Even if I was desperate, I would not cooperate with such a person.
"Don't you hate my father for breaking your legs?"
Yuan Hao smiled and said, "Why should you bear a grudge? It's my own fault that I'm not as skilled as others and fell into your father's trap. If you want to blame someone, blame it on my own incompetence."
"I think we should just forget it. This is a task Uncle Bai assigned to us, and it wouldn't be good for you to get involved. How about this, next time when your injury is healed, it won't be too late for us to join forces again."
Yuan Hao naturally understood that this was just my excuse, and he didn't care. He just smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more. I'd better go back to the hospital and go to sleep. I sneaked out this time, and I'm going to be scolded again when I go back."
As Yuan Hao spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave in his wheelchair. When he was about to leave the school gate, he suddenly turned to me and said, "Although I don't know what happened this time, I can give you a hint. The case probably didn't happen here. It should have happened in the high school campus next door. But it seems that the clues you got point to this place, which means that this place has some connection with the murderer. You can think about it slowly. Goodbye."
Watching Yuan Hao gradually disappear into the night, Bai Longfei asked, "Ji Wen, can you trust what Yuan Hao says?"
"Even if it's believable, I won't trust him easily. This person is too dangerous. But I agree with what he said just now. I also think that this case may have happened in the high school next door."
Hearing what I said, the security guard who had been talking to us panicked and immediately asked, "Do you need me to call my son home for a few days? Is there really a case going on there?"
I really didn't know how to answer this question, so I sighed and said, "Look, if you think it's necessary, ask for leave for your son and let him go home for a few days. I don't know exactly what will happen over there."
Now that things here have been temporarily sorted out, and it's getting late today, and we've been traveling all day, we decided to find a place to stay and rest for the night. We will go to the high school to investigate tomorrow and find out more about the situation from the security guard's son.
Lao Zhao said that he will go with us tomorrow and he will fully cooperate with us during this period. After all, the special case team is well-known, and if a case requires the special case team to take action, it must be extraordinary.
After saying goodbye to the security guard and Lao Zhao, we left Lao Zhao's contact information and then found a hotel nearby to rest. On the way back, Ding Yang asked a question that surprised me, that is, since all the students are on vacation now, why is the high school next door still in class
Hearing Ding Yang's question, Bai Longfei and I laughed knowingly, and I explained, "High school is different from other grades. Didn't you go to high school back then? Anyway, our school had a seven-day holiday during the Chinese New Year when we were in the third year of high school. We could only rest on Sunday afternoons, and we had to go to evening self-study classes at night. Although it doesn't seem like school is open now, those candidates who worked hard for the college entrance examination have already started school. What's the big deal?"
After hearing what I said, Ding Yang's face suddenly turned red, and he said embarrassedly that he had forgotten about it. It seems that anyone who has experienced high school will find it difficult to forget that intense study life back then.
Originally, I planned to save some money. Bai Longfei, Ding Yang and I would live in one room, and Lin Yingxue would have her own room. But Bai Longfei said that it was not his money we were spending, so he arranged a standard room for each of us. After I returned to the room and washed up, I didn't feel like watching TV, so I took out the campus ghost story book that I got from the security guard and read it carefully, wanting to see what secrets were hidden in this book.
The stories in this book are very familiar, and I have basically forgotten my original intention. I read it carefully with a reminiscent attitude. I finished the not-so-thick book very quickly, and I was not sleepy at all. I was about to take out my mobile phone to read a novel for a while, but suddenly I remembered that I called my dad today but he didn’t answer. I sat up immediately and called him again.
If my parents were busy at the time, they should at least call me back now, right? Why haven't they called me yet
When I called again, still no one answered. The same went for my mom's call. No matter how much confidence I had in my dad, this situation still made me feel uneasy. Thinking about how Yuan Hao found me today, I immediately started to have wild thoughts. Could it be that Yuan Hao did something to my dad
I called them several more times, but still no one answered. I was completely panicked. Suddenly I remembered that I still had the phone number of Xiaomei's boyfriend, the team leader, who left his phone number when we celebrated the New Year in our village. After hesitating for a moment and preparing to dial, I suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
The knocking sound was like someone coming to announce a death, and they wanted to smash the door. In my impression, only one person could make this kind of knocking sound, and that was Bai Longfei. So I got out of bed helplessly to open the door. Sure enough, I saw Bai Longfei standing anxiously at the door, so I asked him, "Brother Long, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
I saw Bai Longfei was in a panic and was getting dressed. It seemed like something urgent was going on. Bai Longfei quickly said, "Lao Zhao called me just now."
When we were leaving, Bai Longfei wrote down Lao Zhao's phone number. I immediately looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Lao Zhao called at this time, so the significance of this call was definitely extraordinary.
"Did something happen?" I didn't wait for Bai Longfei to explain. I went back to the house, put on my shoes, and walked out with my coat. While I was putting on my shoes, Bai Longfei said, "Something did happen. Lao Zhao just called and said that there was a murder in the high school next to the Normal College."
"What kind of murder case was it? Did Lao Zhao tell us in detail?"
Lin Yingxue and Ding Yang also heard our movements and came out of their rooms. Bai Longfei took a deep breath and said, "It is said that a girl who lives here was killed. Even her head was cut off and tied to a bamboo pole. It looks like a mop!"
