Chapter 2: The Thick Smell of Blood
87_87408With a loud rumble that broke through the sky, we were dizzy. Chenyanlu's facial features twisted and spat out the stones in his mouth, which were covered with blood and saliva.
β*οΌβ He screamed, afraid that his waist was twisted.
When the dust passed, the dark ground wafted with a thick smell of blood. I shuddered for a while and smelled, "Do you smell blood?" β
Looking to the right, I saw that Liu Ke had fainted, and I panicked: "Hey! Kenlu, come and help me! Liu Ke fainted! β
Chenyan Lu stood up, ignoring the dirt on her body. helped me up, and continued to help Liu Ke walk backwards.
"Where are you going?" I followed and asked.
"Let's take a look at the ball." He replied calmly.
I nodded and followed.
When he arrived at the row of viewing seats, he put the fainted Liu Ke'an on the seat. I followed and climbed to the top to get an unobstructed view of the playground.
The view of the ball clearly showed me that the large crater that had been burst in the center was more than ten meters wide, and I guess it was more than ten meters wide. It was already early in the morning, and I looked at my phone, tired and just wanted to sleep.
Why does a ghost fire appear in a school for no reason, and then explode?
I guess Chenyan already has the answer in his head. However, I don't want to ask him. I had to think with my own mind, there had never been such a situation before, the school was very strict, and after nine o'clock in the evening, no students were allowed to linger on the playground. Morning Yanlu and I quietly came back at 11 o'clock at night, which has exceeded the strict requirements, so now we are the only ones at the scene of the incident. And Liu Ke, who had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared, and an explosion appeared.
My head was buzzing.
I don't want to doubt Liu Ke, even though the book teaches it like this. Except for me and Yanlu, it's him......
"Yanlu, you...... What do you think? "Finally, I wanted to ask him what he thought.
Chen Yanlu stared at Liu Ke without saying a word, as if he wanted to eat the other party. I can't imagine that he must be suspicious of Liu Ke as well. Then, he gently reached over, and I closed my eyes tightly.
After a few seconds, I only heard him say, "Liu Ke has a fever." β
I thought he was going to search him, and I was taken aback. When I opened my eyes suddenly, the smell of blood immediately wafted in. Although it is not as strong as the smell we had just now on the runway.
"Can't stay here anymore! We need to hurry back to the dorm. He said calmly.
The first time I saw him without a child's personality, my heart trembled. Seeing that I was stiff, he sighed and came over to take my cold hand. Unlike me, that hand wrapped me with heat.
Hui fΓΉ smiled and grinned: "Little Mimi, let's look at the school tomorrow." β
I came back to my senses and looked at Liu Ke. He said, "Don't worry, I'll carry him." You go back first. β
I shook my head apprehensively and said, "No." I'm going to be with you. β
Yanlu sighed and crouched down in front of Liu Ke. I used all my strength to lift a large man on his back, and at this time, the thin Yan Lu made his back look extraordinarily thick.
Hold on, Liu Ke. I touched my forehead and realized that it was not just a fever, but a high fever. With him on his back, we quickly retreated and left the playground.
When I returned to the dormitory, the sky was already hazy and white. The exhaustion of the night caused me to fall asleep quickly, and I slept until noon. When my roommate came back from lunch, he woke me up screaming in fright.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he struggled to do it, and the muscles in his body ached unbearably. It's worse than a hangover......
Turn on a fully charged phone, and the message rings non-stop. More than 20 missed calls, 5 text messages, all of which were Chenyan Lude.
Today is ...... April 4th.
Fortunately, my roommate woke me up, otherwise I would have missed the afternoon exam!
I got up and flipped through the text messages.
The first seven o'clock in the morning: Why don't you answer the phone? Don't worry, he's got a fever
The second morning at 8:30 a.m.: Answer the phone! Hey, stupid, haven't you woken up yet. The police are investigating and have completely cordoned off the playground.
Article 3 at 10:40 a.m.: Liu Ke woke up and was unconscious, so I called him and sent him to a big hospital. You see this text message and call back quickly.
Article 4 at 11 a.m.: Sure enough, things are as imagined.
Article 5 12 noon: call back quickly!
I looked at the fully charged phone, and it was twelve thirty o'clock. The last text message was sent half an hour ago, and I pressed the quick button 2 to dial Chenyanlu's mobile phone.
"The stupid guy is only waking up now?!"
I took my phone away from my ears and walked to the sink to get ready to wash.
"I was a little overly nervous last night...... I explained, looking in surprise at my hair in the mirror that had been sleeping like a chicken coop. And the dusty and dirty clothes. sighed again and again, afraid that this dress would never be worn again.
On the other side of the phone, there was silence for a while, and then he said, "...... Our school...... Dead. β
I wasn't surprised to hear that. Who is the one who dies? I asked, brushing my teeth. The voice is slurred and the words are slurred.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and I only heard him speak slowly, word by word: "The ...... of the two of us" Mentor. β
"Whoa!"
After brushing my teeth, the toothpaste and tooth cup fell off the ground, and I blurted out almost without thinking, "Our mentor...... How did you die? "I was very reluctant to think about it, very reluctant to think about it.
Usually, my mentor and I are very close. He was kind and amiable, which is what we learned. One night, just a few hours. Before class, he smiled and said to me: study hard. And just a few hours later, he left the world.
The phone said heavily, "Come out, I'll invite you to dinner." β
"Are you still in the mood to eat?" Tears fell unconsciously, "I'll go to you now." β
Hanging up, I quickly washed my face. I changed into clean clothes and went out, and before leaving, my roommate told me about the exam time. I nodded, cheering her on.
Out of the house, it's been a very cold day. The sky was raining in the spring, and I forgot to bring an umbrella. Quickly through the crowd, I found Chenyan Lu sitting in the corner and looking out of the window in a daze in the human flesh wall.
Quietly sitting across from him, I knew that his mood was heavier than mine, and that the mentor was especially fond of him on weekdays.
"Have a cup of coffee," I said to the waiter.
He heard my voice and turned his head. There are five anime figures placed next to him, "Do you want to hear my reasoning?" β
I nodded, "You say." "I thought about it, he should be about the same as I thought.
My train of thought was that what I saw last night was a torch burning. And not some ghost fire balls, because there are only two balls, and they don't move. The bombing was caused by the underground, as for what exactly caused it. I didn't think about it on my own, and the death of my mentor was due to congenital heart disease. He couldn't stand the loud noise and died.
I know that there are a lot of mistakes in my reasoning, and that's because of the assumptions made on the premise of many unknowns.
"This is a bizarre death case." After a pause, he snatched the coffee I ordered and took two sips.
I rolled my eyes in anger and asked, "How is this possible, I believe in the ......"
"There are some things that science can't explain."
I listened silently as he continued, presumably he hadn't slept all night, and the dark circles under his eyes were very prominent. "I went back to my dormitory in the early morning to change my clothes and went back to the playground, the pit was about 12 meters long, and it was full of burnt smell. The blackness around was stained with blood, proving that there was a dead man here. β
My heart fluttered, and he took out the first anime figure and put it down. This is Chenyanlu's unique way of reasoning, and he occasionally plays like this when doing high-IQ questions.
"I didn't dare to stay too long, so I went back to the dormitory. Now I stayed on the balcony for a few hours, and by the time dawn came, the blood would no longer smell. The police car cautiously drove into the school, it was 7 a.m., and the students were still resting. β
I listened carefully as he said he had missed sleeping, and he continued: "They cordoned off the playground. That's how it happened, and I guess the fire was a torch. β
Here is the same reasoning as I am, he saw that my eyes were shining, and took out another figure, which was behind the first one.
"The torches are two, there are two people. When we went, there was only one man in the grass, and the other was missing. β
I continued to listen in confusion, "At that time, we met Liu Ke. He put the third figure close to the second, "He told us that it was dangerous here, and urged us to get out of here." Presumably he knows something that we don't know, and we get the news that someone is dead, and it's our guru. Only a few of our students knew about it, because the school didn't want to interfere with tomorrow's celebration. So the tutor had to die, and only a few of our tutors and students were notified. He put the fourth figure close to the first.
At this time, I was sweating, and my heart was clenched together. He was silent for a moment, then gulped down his coffee. Take out the fifth puppet and put it behind the first and second groups and say, "There is another way to say it...... The police are hiding the facts. β
After listening to it, I completely felt that things were not as simple as I thought.
"That is, you suspect that the first and third dolls are one, and the second and fourth dolls are one." Watch as his slender fingers keep cutting off the fifth puppet.
I continued: "In the middle of the playground with torches are Liu Ke and his mentor, and our speculations are completely blind guesses, and it is possible that the police deliberately concealed the truth...... So what truth will they hide? β
"They didn't call up the footage to check the witnesses, they were hiding Liu Ke." Kenlu guessed.
My mind went blank, remembering that Liu Ke's mother was a criminal policeman, and it was very likely that this was the reason. Now that I've listened to Kenro's reasoning, I feel that I've been relieved a lot from the heaviness. He was a rare genius who was more accurate in his reasoning than I was.
Kenru stood up and walked out, and I followed in small steps. "Where are you going?"
"Go to the database." His tone was calm, and he didn't drag his feet so much that he actually said these four words, this is the forbidden place of the school. The personal * files of all the student teachers are in that basement. I don't know where the basement is, but Chenyan's insight is beyond my imagination.
Xiao Bushan came to the library, and I looked at him differently. He smiled, took my hand and walked inside. We've done a lot of stealing chickens and dogs since we were kids:
When I was a child, I stole eggs from neighbors, climbed trees to steal cherries, and took the big risk to hide in other people's backyards and nibble on turnips...... This is the first time we've done real stealing, and we're going to steal, and it's all the people in this school who are connected to the police. If I'm not mistaken, he wants to do an elimination method to investigate!
