Three
The next morning, Med got up early and ran straight to Yuan Bin's house without even eating breakfast.
Yuan Bin was woken up by Med, and asked sleepily, "Med?" How did you get to my house? β
"Get up! There is something important! Dmitry urged.
Yuan Bin hurriedly got dressed. After washing up, Med pulled him to Li Yuan's house without saying a word.
Half an hour later, the four of them had gathered. Yuan Bin, Li Yuan, and Sunset looked at Med in bewilderment, they didn't understand what Dread had gathered the few of them to do so early.
"Yesterday, we made a big mistake." Dmitry said with a serious expression.
"What?" Several people were nervous.
"We thought yesterday that even if Teacher Shan's body was found in a waterhole, everyone might think that Teacher Shan was swimming in a waterhole and accidentally drowned - but last night it occurred to me that this is impossible!"
"Why?" Yuan Bin asked eagerly.
"When Mr. Shan heard us say that Zhong Lin had fallen into the water, he immediately dropped the pen in his hand; The notebook he was writing at the time had no time to close; He even wore only one sandal and ran out. Think about it, which person who goes swimming will be so panicked that he doesn't even cover his pen, doesn't close his notebook, and walks away with only one shoe on? β
Yuan Bin's face turned pale again: "You mean ......?"
"After Teacher Shan's body is discovered, 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 - Teacher Shan did not go swimming and drowned by himself at all. There must be something hidden in this! β
"And as soon as you investigate...... It is possible to find out on our heads. He was the only one in the neighborhood who knew him best, and we had been to school that day......" Sunset realizes the gravity of the matter.
"So, of course, the police will focus on a few of us to investigate." "Think about it," said Med, "only one of the four of us has a little flaw......
"Oh my God! Then we're done! Sunset clutches her head and crouches on the ground in pain.
"What are we going to do? What to do? Yuan Bin was also completely panicked.
"Don't panic!" Dmitry gestured for them to calm down, "We still have time to make amends!" β
"Why, you're trying to ......" Sunset guessed Med's thoughts.
"We don't have a choice now. I had to go to Teacher Shan's house again and deal with those few things properly. Dmitry said.
"What? Still going there? Li Yuan's face was embarrassed.
"What, you're scared? Coward! Dmitry glared at him, "It's broad daylight now, what are you afraid of!" There are four of us! β
Yuan Bin gritted his teeth: "Just do what Meide says, don't do it twice!" β
A few people quietly touched the school, and the campus was silent and empty at this time.
The single dormitory where Mr. Shan lived was one of a series of ordinary bungalows, the door was closed, but the window was open.
"Quick, get inside!" Dmitry whispered.
It took less than half a minute for the four boys to turn over to Teacher Shan's dormitory.
They looked at the cottage intently: it was a single bed, a desk, a few chairs, and a few boxes.
Dmitry noticed the deskβthe same as yesterday when Teacher Shan was leaving. A soft-sided notebook was flipped open on the table, and next to it was the uncovered fountain pen.
"You go and close the notebook and put the pen on the cap." Dmitry said to Yuan Bin. Then he turned to look at Sunset and Li Yuan: "Let's look for the sandals that are left." β
Several people split up. Yuan Bin approached the desk, and he saw the cap of the pen at a glance and put it on the pen.
Then, Yuan Bin wanted to close the notebook. At the moment when he was about to close the notebook, he inadvertently glanced at what was written in the notebook.
More than ten seconds later, Yuan Bin screamed violently, and then fell to the ground with his butt.
Ded and Sunset quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"That'...... That notebook ......" Yuan Bin's face was blue and white, obviously extremely frightened. His whole body trembled, his finger pointed to the notebook on the table, his lips trembling up and down, unable to speak.
Med and Sunset looked at each other quizzically, and they both stood up together, walked over to the desk, and picked up the notebook.
There was a passage written on the open notebook, which was the handwriting of Teacher Shan, whom they were all too familiar with:
"You four have deceived me and killed me. I won't let you go!
The first of you, will die in ......
The second of you, will die in ......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β
Seeing only the first few words, Med and Sunset let out an "ah", their whole bodies were chilled, their hairs stood on end, and their bodies naturally took a few steps backwards, and the notebook fell to the ground.
Li Yuan stepped forward to pick up the notebook, and after reading two sentences, he was even more frightened, and he almost fainted.
For the next few minutes, the room was dead silent, except for the sound of large gasps of breathing.
Finally, Sunset can't take it anymore and exclaims, "We've got our retribution!" Teacher Shan's ghost is back, and it's going to kill us! β
Med stepped forward and covered Sunset's mouth and said to the other two, "Hurry up and grab Mr. Shan's shoes and this notebook, and we'll leave immediately!" β
Yuan Bin was bold, picked up the notebook with one hand, lifted the remaining sandals with the other, and stood up.
Li Yuan quickly opened the door, and the four of them fled from the dormitory in a hurry.
The four of them ran to the depths of yesterday's grove in one go, and several people were panting and looking at each other.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Bin was the first to speak: "You say, what's going on?" Could it really be the ghost of Teacher Shan......"
He stopped, not daring to continue.
Dmitry regained his composure a little at this time, and he said, "Could it be that Mr. Shan didn't die at all yesterday, and he swam up later......"
"How is this possible? We obviously witnessed Teacher Shan sink into the water yesterday and didn't come up for seven or eight minutes, which ...... In this case, can people swim up alive? Sunset senses that this is more bizarre than his common sense.
"No, it's absolutely impossible." Yuan Bin said, "Besides, if Teacher Shan came up alive, where would he be now?" Why not just come to us? β
"That'...... In that case, isn't it really ......"
"Enough! Stop it! Li Yuan shouted, "I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to tell the police about this!" β
Hearing this, Med turned his head abruptly and grabbed Li Yuan's collar: "Are you crazy?" It's going to kill us! β
"Then we live in fear every day? Besides, you also read that book just now, Teacher Shan's ghost won't let us go! Li Yuan was unusually cowardly and yelled at Med.
Dmitry slowly let go of his grip on the collar and hung his head, not saying a word.
The dull air lasted for several minutes, and several people stood with dull expressions, and no one spoke.
In the end, Yuan Bin broke the deadlock: "I think, is this matter done like this?" β
The other three looked up at him.
"It seems that no one knows about the fact that Teacher Shan is dead, but sooner or later it will be discovered...... At that time, if everyone thinks that Teacher Shan drowned in swimming, we don't have to take the initiative to tell the truth; And if the police investigate a few of us, we will no longer hide it and tell the truth. β
"You mean, it's up to providence?" Sunset asked.
Yuan Bin nodded: "That's what it means." β
Dmitry thought for a moment. "Okay, that's it! Now let's wait and see what happens. What we need to do now is to get rid of these things. He pointed to his notebook and sandals on the floor.
This time, Dmitry brought a lighter, and they burned the two pieces of evidence in the same way. Subsequently, the four went home separately.
They didn't see each other again for the next few days. Everyone is living a nervous life at home.
It wasn't until three days later that things took a new turn.
