Chapter 5 third chapter

The next morning, Meide got up early and ran straight to Yuan Bin's house without even having breakfast. Yuan Bin was woken up by Med, and he asked sleepily, "Med? Why did you come to my house?" "Get up quickly! There is something important!" Mead urged. After Yuan Bin got dressed and washed, Meide dragged him to Li Yuan's house involuntarily. Half an hour later, the four of them got together.Yuan Bin, Li Yuan and Yu Hui looked at Meide in puzzlement, they didn't understand why Meade gathered them together so early. "What happened yesterday, we made a big mistake." Med said with a serious expression.

"What?" Several people became nervous. "We thought yesterday that even if Teacher Shan's body was found in the pool, everyone might think that Teacher Shan was swimming in the pool and accidentally drowned to death—but I suddenly thought last night that this is impossible!" "Why?" Yuan Bin asked eagerly. "Mr. Shan heard us say that Zhong Lin fell into the water, and immediately dropped the pen in his hand. He didn't even have time to close the notebook he was writing at the time; he even ran away in a panic, wearing only one sandal. I went out. Think about it, who goes swimming in such a panic that he doesn’t even cover his pen, doesn’t close his notebook, and leaves with only one shoe on?”

Yuan Bin's face turned pale again: "You mean..." "After Mr. Shan's body is found, someone will definitely go to his dormitory. As long as these signs are found, not to mention the police, even ordinary people will immediately find out that Mr. Shan did not drown himself by swimming. There must be something hidden here!" "And as soon as we investigate... we may be found. Because there are only a few of us around here who know him best, and we went to school that day..." Yu Hui realized the seriousness of the matter. "So, of course the police will focus on the few of us to investigate." Meade said, "Think about it, as long as one of the four of us reveals a little flaw..."

"Oh my God! Then we're done!" Li Yuan hugged his head and squatted on the ground in pain. "What should we do? What should we do?" Yuan Bin was also completely panicked. "Don't panic!" Dmitry gestured for them to calm down, "We still have time to remedy this!" "Could it be that you want to..." Yu Hui somewhat guessed what Med was thinking. "We have no choice now. We can only go to Mr. Shan's house again to get those things settled," Meade said. "What? Where are you going?" Li Yuan looked embarrassed.

"Why, are you scared? Coward!" Med stared at him, "It's broad daylight, what are you afraid of! There are four of us!" Yuan Bin gritted his teeth: "Just do as Meide said, and keep doing it!" A few people touched the school quietly. At this time, the campus was silent and empty. The single dormitory where Mr. Shan lives is one of a series of ordinary bungalows. The door is closed, but one window is open. "Quick, turn it in!" Med said in a low voice. In less than half a minute, the four boys turned over to Teacher Shan's dormitory. They fixed their eyes on the hut: there was only a single bed, a desk, a few chairs and a few boxes, it was extremely simple.

Med noticed that desk—it was the same as when Teacher Shan was leaving yesterday.A soft-covered notebook was open on the table, and near it was the uncovered pen. "Go and close that book, and put the cap on the pen." Meide said to Yuan Bin.Then turned to look at Yu Hui and Li Yuan: "Let's look for the only sandal left." Several people split up.Yuan Bin approached the desk, he saw the pen cap at a glance, and put it on the pen. Afterwards, Yuan Bin wanted to close the notebook.Just as he was about to close the book, he inadvertently glanced at the content written in the book.

Ten seconds later, Yuan Bin yelled loudly and fell to the ground. Meide and Yu Hui hurried forward to help him up, asking, "What's wrong with you?" "Then...that notebook..." Yuan Bin's face turned green and white, obviously frightened.He pointed to the notebook on the table with trembling fingers, but he couldn't speak. Meide and Yu Hui looked at each other suspiciously, they stood up together, walked to the desk, and picked up the notebook. There was a passage written on the opened notebook, which was in the handwriting of Teacher Shan, whom they were all too familiar with:

"The four of you lied to me and killed me. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! The first of you, will die of... The second of you, will die of... ... ..." After seeing the first few sentences, Meide and Yu Hui yelled "Ah", their whole body felt cold, their hairs stood on end, they naturally took a few steps back, and the book fell to the ground. Li Yuan stepped forward to pick up the notebook, and after reading a few sentences, his face turned pale with fright, and he almost fainted. In the next few minutes, there was a dead silence in the room, only the sound of heavy breathing was heard.

Finally, Yu Hui couldn't take it anymore, he shouted: "We have been punished! Teacher Shan's ghost is back, and it wants to kill us!" Meide stepped forward and covered Yu Hui's mouth, and said to the other two people, "Hurry up and get Mr. Shang Dan's shoe and this notebook, we'll leave immediately!" Yuan Bin took courage, picked up the notebook with one hand and the remaining sandal with the other, and stood up. Li Yuan quickly opened the door, and the four escaped from the dormitory in a hurry. The four of them ran back to the depths of yesterday's grove in one breath. Several people were panting and looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Bin was the first to speak: "Tell me, what's going on? Could it be that it's really Teacher Shan's ghost..." He stopped, not daring to continue talking. At this moment, Meide regained his composure, and said, "Could it be that Mr. Shan didn't die at all yesterday, and he swam up again later..." "How is this possible? Yesterday we witnessed Mr. Shan sinking into the water with our own eyes, and he didn't come up for seven or eight minutes. So... in this situation, people can swim up again alive?" Yu Hui felt that the strangeness of this matter had already reached the limit. Beyond his common sense.

"No, this is absolutely impossible." Yuan Bin said, "Besides, if Teacher Shan came up alive, where is he now? Why didn't he come to us directly?" "Then... So, isn't it really..." "Enough! Stop talking!" Li Yuanda yelled, "I can't take it anymore, I want to tell the police about this!" Hearing this sentence, Meide suddenly turned his head and grabbed Li Yuan by the collar: "Are you crazy? This will kill us!" "Then let's live in fear every day like this? Besides, you also read that notebook just now, the ghost of Teacher Shan will not let us go!" Li Yuan yelled at Med, uncharacteristically cowardly. Med slowly loosened his grip on his collar, lowered his head, and said nothing. The dull air lasted for several minutes, and several people stood there with dull expressions, and no one spoke. Finally, Yuan Bin broke the deadlock: "I see, is this a good way to handle this matter?" The other three looked up at him. "It seems that no one knows that Teacher Shan is dead so far, but it will be discovered sooner or later... By that time, if everyone thinks that Teacher Shan died by swimming and drowning, we don't have to take the initiative Tell the truth; and if the police investigate us, we will stop hiding and tell the truth." "You mean, it's up to God's will?" Yu Hui asked. Yuan Bin nodded: "That's what it means." Mead thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's do this! Now we'll just wait and see what happens, and resign ourselves to fate. What we need to do now is to get rid of these things." He pointed to the notebook and sandals on the ground. This time, Meade brought a lighter, and they burned the two pieces of evidence in the same way.Afterwards, the four went home separately. They didn't see each other again for the next few days.Everyone is living a restless life at home. Three days later, things took a new turn.
