Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven The Real Mastermind

While worrying about Li Kaimin's whereabouts, he suddenly heard two female students talking about the haunted studio on the third floor of the old classroom. According to Mai Qinghe's confession, Shen Tingyue should have been killed by Fang Shu in this studio. I should have gone to investigate a long time ago, but I just haven't been able to find the time to go there.Now that someone was talking about this studio, I wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about it, so I walked up to two female students and asked with a playful smile, "Hey, girls, what's the matter with the haunting you just mentioned?"

If I were the only one, it might be easy to get the words out of these two girls, and it would not be difficult to invite them to dinner together.But I didn't remember for a moment that there were Xueqing and two armed policemen with submachine guns behind me. Maybe the heroic posture of the armed policeman rushing over after me was too mighty, or their aura was too strong. Anyway, the two female students were scared by them and curled up like kittens.With them present, the two girls probably couldn't calm down, so I asked them to meet Fu Bin first, and Xueqing and I would arrive later.

"Sorry, I scared you just now." I explained to the two girls that we are the police and we are investigating a case, hoping to get their help. Although the elder brother of the armed police had already left, they still seemed to be in a state of lingering fear. They clenched their hands tightly and their bodies trembled slightly.After a long time, one of the taller girls who called herself Xiaoyi said timidly, "How can we help?" After getting used to the scare just now, I think they are probably not in the mood to chat with me, so I went straight to the point: "I want to know why you said that the old school building is haunted again?"

"I just heard..." Although Xiaoyi was still a little scared, it did not prevent her from telling me about the history of the old school building—— When I first came here to study, I heard some scary legends about the old school building from my senior sisters. It is said that many years ago, a girl became pregnant after stealing the forbidden fruit. Because she concealed it very well, no one discovered it.It was not until late one night that she ran to the studio on the third floor of the old teaching building alone, took the child down, and jumped off the roof to commit suicide with the newborn child in her arms.However, no one knows who the child's father is.

Since then, some people have said that the old school building is haunted by ghosts, causing people to panic, and basically no one dares to go there at night.However, most of these are just rumors. What really caught everyone's attention was an incident that happened a few years ago. I heard from my senior sister that a few years ago, there were two bold senior brothers who went to the studio on the third floor of the old teaching building to paint at night in order to keep quiet.Nothing special happened at the beginning, but in the early hours of the morning, they heard each other calling their names at the same time, but neither of them spoke, and the sound was obviously coming from outside the window, so they naturally looked at the window.

They looked at the window together and saw a woman in a green dress with disheveled hair and a vague face, holding a bloody baby floating outside the window.The woman smiled at them, opened and closed her mouth, and called each other their names in their own voices. No matter how brave they are, they will be scared to death when encountering such a terrible thing. Of course, they are no exception, and immediately ran back to the dormitory like crazy.They ran back to the dormitory yelling all the way, and happened to meet the dormitory supervisor who was watching the night. The dormitory supervisor is an old man who has been in the army and fought in wars. He doesn't believe in ghosts in this world at all, and of course he doesn't believe in the ghosts they talked about in the studio.He insisted that they played outside until midnight before sneaking back, and said that they would report to the dean of students and give them a demerit.

They felt aggrieved, so they quarreled with the dormitory supervisor, and asked the dormitory supervisor if they dared to go to the studio alone.The dormitory supervisor said that he was not even afraid of King Yama, and that if there was a ghost in the studio, he would catch him and have a drink. After speaking, he really walked towards the old teaching building with his head held high.At that time, many boys in the dormitory ran out to watch the excitement, but they all just came to the door of the old teaching building, and no one dared to go in except the dormitory supervisor. Not long after the dormitory supervisor entered the teaching building, the boys outside heard a loud "wow" sound, just like the cry of a newborn baby.Although the voice seemed to be crying very hard, as if crying to the point of suffocation, it was very loud, and the boys outside could hear it very clearly.

After the dormitory supervisor entered the building, he continued to cry, and he did not come out after a long time. Everyone thought that something might have happened to him, so they all went upstairs to look for him. Everyone found the dormitory supervisor in the studio on the third floor, but he was already crazy, lying on the ground like a baby and crying constantly, and the crying was very loud.The crying that everyone heard outside was from him. Seeing him like this, everyone knew that he was bewitched, so they quickly carried him outside the teaching building.But after being carried out, he still kept crying, and his face became more and more purple from crying, and he died before he could be sent to the hospital.

After this incident, few people dared to enter the old teaching building. Even if there were classes arranged there, everyone would either ask for leave or simply skip class.Coupled with the completion of the new teaching building, it was gradually no longer arranged to hold classes there.Later, some playful students, full of food, went there to explore. Although there were no accidents, most of them still dare not go there. Not long ago, there was another bold girl, probably for the sake of quietness, she went to the studio on the third floor to paint every night.I don't know how long she has been painting, maybe two or three months!Anyway, she disappeared inexplicably a few months ago.

The leaders of the college were afraid that it would affect the enrollment, so they covered this matter to death. Until now, they still don't know whether the girl is dead or alive.But since she disappeared, the studio on the third floor automatically lights up every night late at night... There are such terrifying legends in the old school building, and Shen Tingyue dares to paint alone late at night. It seems that she is not a simple person.However, the reason why she disappeared was mainly because she was attacked by Fang Shu, which seems to have nothing to do with these terrifying legends, and it must be just a ghost story based on rumors.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration came to my mind, since no one dared to enter the old teaching building, wouldn't it be a good place to hide?Moreover, Shen Tingyue dared to go in to paint alone, and now the studio will automatically turn on the lights every night... It seems that she must go in and investigate. After meeting with Fu Bin and others, I told them the information I had just obtained, and asked to go to the studio on the third floor of the old teaching building to investigate together at night. Fu Bin probably felt quite bored because this operation was fruitless, so he readily agreed. After all, he is not the kind of person who likes white-collar wages.However, I found that when he answered me, he glanced at Xueqing intentionally or unintentionally.I think the reason why he is so straightforward may have something to do with Xueqing. Unfortunately, Xueqing didn't even glance at him from the corner of her eyes. I asked everyone to leave the Academy of Fine Arts to rest, and not to return until late at night. I thought there would be no problem with four armed police guards, but I never expected that the problem would happen before the operation.Just when we were about to leave for the Academy of Fine Arts, Fu Bin suddenly called and said that they had to carry out another task and could not come to help us.In this regard, I can't do anything to him other than letting Zhen Zhen cook him a meal.After all, his task of supporting us has already ended during the day, and his actions at night are not of a work nature, but just a friendly help. The old teaching building is located in the old courtyard area, and few students are active nearby, so it is very quiet, even so quiet that it makes people feel scary.It doesn't matter if Fu Bin and other four burly men are covering me, but at this moment, only two beauties, Zhen Zhen and Xue Qing, are my right and left protectors, which will inevitably make people feel uneasy. Fortunately, all the way to the open space outside the old teaching building, apart from not seeing a few people, there is nothing worth noting.This is indeed a ghostly place where there are many trees and few people. No wonder Fang Shu dared to come here to rape Shen Tingyue in a big way. If he was attacked in this kind of place, no one would know if his throat was broken. Looking up at the third floor of the teaching building, I found that one of the classrooms was indeed lit, but all the windows were covered by curtains, so I didn't know what was going on inside.We tiptoed to the stairs. Although there was a switch for the light, we had to go upstairs in the dark in order to avoid alarming the enemy. Although the stairs from the first floor to the second floor were so quiet that it made people feel creepy, no problems were found.However, just when I thought that there would be nothing to be found on the stairs to the third floor, I saw a female figure with disheveled hair standing at the stairs.This figure was very familiar, and I recognized it at a glance as the ghostly figure that appeared in Chen's cemetery and the rented house that Xu Zixuan rented. When we found each other, the other party also found us. There was a "pop" sound, and a dazzling light lit up in front of our eyes.Because the eyes are used to the darkness, they couldn't adapt to the light in a short time, and they couldn't see anything except a white light.Just when I was worried that the other party would take this opportunity to attack us, a male voice sounded: "You guys still came here after all." When my eyes started to adapt to the light, I realized that the person standing at the stairs was not some glamorous female ghost, but Li Kaimin in a wig! "Don't move, or I'll shoot you!" After Xue Qing's eyes adjusted to the light, she immediately drew her gun and aimed.Zhen Zhen is also gearing up, ready to fight to the death with the murderous demon king in front of her.However, Li Kaimin didn't seem to have the intention of attacking us, and slowly took off the wig on his head, removed the female disguise on his body, and said in a calm tone: "I know you will find this place sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. " "I think you should know why we are here!" Zhen Zhen showed her handcuffs, "I hope you can cooperate with us and go back with us to accept the investigation. However, it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate." She clenched her fists tightly and her joints snapped . Li Kaimin glanced to the left and right, and said with a friendly smile: "The environment here is actually quite quiet. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come again in the future. Can you let me stay here for a while? Perhaps, you can use this time to ask some questions. know the problem." Although I don't know what he's thinking, but I do have a lot of questions that I hope to get answers from him, so I don't mind spending some time with him here.However, before I ask him, I want to confirm one thing: "How many people did you kill?" "Wheat, Lanlan, and Zixuan were all killed by me." Although I knew that these dead were killed by him, I was surprised that he admitted it so frankly, so calmly and calmly, as if in his eyes, killing people was just a very common thing. "Why did you kill them?" This is the most critical question. He let out a leisurely breath: "They all deserve to die." "why?" "It's a long story, why don't we sit down in another place and talk slowly." He invited us into the classroom next to the stairs. I cautiously inspected the current environment. Although we blocked the only exit, he was standing on the stairs on the third floor. The terrain was higher than us and he had a wide view. Our every move was under his nose.And if he attacks us from his commanding vantage point, we're in a very bad position.Therefore, even though I didn't know what he was up to, I still agreed to his proposal and gave Xueqing a wink, signaling to be careful of his actions. We followed him into the classroom, which seemed to have been unused for a long time, and the lights took a while to come on, but they were bright enough.Under the lighting of the old-fashioned lights, everything in the classroom can be seen in a panoramic view.This should be a sculpture classroom. In addition to the dusty tables and chairs, there are several busts in the corner.There is nothing else, and nowhere to hide.That said, it's safe here. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the podium, and motioned for us to sit down together.Zhenzhen and I sat down near the door, while Xueqing blocked the door, aiming the gun at his forehead all the time, showing no intention of sitting down. "Let's continue the topic just now!" He put on a very casual pose, as if chatting with a friend, and told us in detail his weird experience and the ins and outs of killing Mai Qinghe and others—— Tingyue is a rare good girl, she is very kind and pure, like a lotus flower that emits fragrance in the mud. I've always admired her, and she and I get along well, but our relationship doesn't go beyond the boundaries of friendship.In fact, I once confessed to her, but she did not give me a direct answer, but told me how her father cruelly abandoned her and her mother, and the gloomy childhood after losing her father, and how her mother was in her life more than once. Horrible experience of suicide in front of you. She told me frankly that she doesn't believe in love, because no matter how hot the flame of love burns, it will always cool down one day.But friendship is different. Sincere friendship can often last a lifetime, and it can still make people feel warm in the last days of life. Although my confession failed, we are still friends. When we occasionally meet on campus, we will stay together and chat, and sometimes even forget the time.Perhaps, there is a word that can properly describe our relationship, and that is "confidant". In life, it is not difficult to find a satisfactory lover, but it is not easy to find a confidant.So when I learned the news of her disappearance, I searched everywhere for her, but unfortunately I found nothing, as if she disappeared out of thin air. Maybe it's the arrangement of fate. Although I often know Zixuan and the others very well, I seldom hang out with them.After Tingyue disappeared, in order to forget the pain of losing my confidant, I often went out to drink with them.It was because I drank with them that I was able to learn the truth about Tingyue's disappearance. At first, I noticed the clues from the mouth of the drunk wheat, and then when they were drunk, I intentionally or unintentionally set words to them, and even secretly checked the information on their mobile phones.After many days of investigation, I finally know that Tingyue has been killed by Fang Shu, but the real mastermind of this matter is Lan Lan... "How is it possible! Isn't the real mastermind Xu Zixuan?" I hardly believed my ears, how could Liu Jinglan be the mastermind of this matter?She had no reason to kill Shen Tingyue at all!
