On August 25, the first day of the last week of summer vacation, a strange thing happened.

That day, I went downstairs to Eri's fellow student as usual, but the yellow cordon kept me out. The words "Warning Line, No Entry" are marked in bright red on the cordon, and they flutter up and down with the morning breeze.

It was only 6:40 a.m., and there were not many onlookers on the side of the cordon. I walked around the building and found that all the entrances were cordoned off.

"What's going on, early in the morning......"

"Could it be that someone jumped off the building?"

"No, I don't see any blood on here, eh......"

"What the hell is going on......

The onlookers were talking about it, but I was surprised to find that there were no security guards or police officers around the cordon, and the building was unusually quiet, without any unusual sounds.

Did something happen? Yirui-san will be fine!

It seemed that I could not enter the building, the gate was stopped by a police cordon, and there were many idlers waiting to watch, even if I got into it from the side, I could not avoid entering the building through the main entrance.

I hope something didn't happen to Yirui, I thought silently in my heart.

I looked around and suddenly saw the sanitation workers coming from the underground garage with the garbage bins, and I remembered that the underground garage had direct access to the basement level of each building.

I trotted to the underground garage and pressed the elevator in Yirui's building. Unfortunately, this elevator needs an access card when it is used, and there is no way to activate this elevator like me, no matter how I press the up button frantically, the elevator always stops on the 6th floor, the floor where Yirui's student lives.

"It's going to be fine......"

Fortunately, the security exit on the side is still open, and although I don't know if the security exit on the 6th floor is still locked, this is the only way I can think of to enter Yirui's house.

The corridor inside the exit was pitch black, because no one had been walking this way, and the voice-activated lights here seemed to be ineffective, so I caught the faint green light from the exit sign and quickly touched the 6th floor.

The door locked, and I gently turned the lock here, "Click-", and the door opened.

Great, the safety exit that you would never normally take can come in handy at a critical moment! The door was easily pushed open, and I poked my head out a little to make sure there was no one outside the door before exiting the safe exit.

The door to Yirui's house was closed, but a man's voice came from inside—a rough, savage man's voice. I put my ear to the door, and sure enough, I could still hear Yirui's voice.

"What's going on...... I want to get in right away, but the door is locked and I don't know what to do.

Having learned the lessons of last time, I don't dare to act rashly anymore. I put my ears close to the door, but because the door panels were so well insulated, there was little way to tell what was being said other than to tell whose voice it was.

"Yirui-san won't be in trouble again." I think.

Suddenly, the door opened, and I straightened up in fright, pretending to knock.

At the door were two tall and strong men, dressed in police uniforms. Fortunately, when they opened the door, they were still talking to Yirui, who was inside, and they didn't see the process of me switching from eavesdropping to the current position.

"What are you doing here......" a cop said.

"Oh, I'm here to play with my Yirui-san."

"Okay, then please come in, let's go first."

The two police-looking men were about to leave in the elevator.

"Excuse me, has something happened?"

I was about to walk up and ask them what they were doing at Yirui's house, and they took the downward elevator to leave—why could they use the elevator freely, even though they didn't have access cards?

I hurriedly changed my shoes and ran into the house, where Yirui was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"What's going on?"

"You're here!" She didn't look out of the ordinary, except for the smile she usually had to greet me, nothing else was wrong.

"What's going on with those two people just now, and the cordon downstairs." I asked anxiously.

"They're the cops," she said, standing up and walking up to me and flipping my collar for me, "they came and asked me some questions about the last brawl." ”

"The police are coming to ask questions?" I grabbed her hand, "Then why is there a cordon, I thought something happened to you." ”

"Is there still a cordon down there?" She let me hold on to her hand and replied, "That's weird." But they were indeed police officers and showed me their police cards. ”

"What did they ask?" Only then did I realize that I was too impatient, and I actually grabbed her hand, so I gently let go of her.

"What happened during the last fight."

"That's it?"

"Well, that's exactly what they asked. But don't worry, I pretended to be pitiful and didn't know anything, and I answered vaguely when they asked, and they found out that there would be no more results for me to ask me, so they left. ”

She gave a thumbs up and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I won't reveal anything about the 'Demon of Grass and Trees'." ”

"You're fine......

"Oh, yes. When they were leaving, they seemed to say that they would go to you and ask about it. ”

"But the two of them just walked past the victim himself......"

Thinking about it this way, this incident is quite strange - they are obviously coming for interrogation but they are pulling a cordon, and they are saying that they are going to my house for interrogation, but they don't even tell that I am passing in front of them.

I walked up to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of her house and looked down at the place where the cordon had been pulled – there were a few other people in police uniforms who had begun to remove the cordon, and I hadn't seen any other police officers since then, and I didn't know where they all came from. The old people who were watching from the sidelines just now gradually dispersed under the drive of these police-looking people.

"It always feels weird."

She also walked to the window.

"So, indeed."

She yawned and rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy.

"What time did the two of them come?"

"Well, it's about six o'clock. I was still sleeping at that time......"

Yirui has always had the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, so for her, sleeping until 6 o'clock in the morning is already a lazy sleep.

"That's weird, ordinary police wouldn't come to the door so early without considering the feelings of the people, right? However, you also said that they showed their police ID......"

"Alright, alright, forget it. I didn't say much to them, and I didn't think I needed to worry too much. She pulled me away from the windowsill, "You haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make you something to eat." ”

"Well, next time, it's better to be careful."

Coincidentally, today, Wednesday, August 31, is the day before the official back-to-school day.

My body was almost recovered, so I made an appointment with Yirui to go to the garden to see how the flowers we planted were doing.

When I arrived at the school, it was about 4:30 p.m., and there were two police cars parked on the side of the path leading to the school garden - I had the foresight to go up and confirm that it was indeed a police car, and even the license plate was black on a white background, followed by a red word "police" at the end.

Yirui and I walked around the corner of the school building. Sure enough, there was still a cordon here, and the words "Warning Line, No Entry" were written on the yellow cordon, and it was exactly the same as last time, and this cordon had been tightly blocking the entire circle of the garden for a long time.

Although a cordon was put up, there was no one else around, including the security guard who had let us pass at the door.

Standing on the lawn in the distance was not Zhang Zhendong, but a few men in police uniforms like a few days ago, searching in the grass on all sides, and a fat policeman behind him was holding a paper and pen while communicating with them while recording, but because the distance was too far, I had no way to confirm what they were searching for.

"Here we go again......"

"What the hell is going on!" Yirui also began to feel that something was wrong.

She and I stood there in a daze. A policeman on the lawn seemed to see the two of us, shouting "get out of here" from afar.

"Let's go first!" Yirui took my hand and walked towards the school gate.

"What's going on?" I whispered.

"I just went to my house to interrogate me before, but what's going on now?" She stopped where the police car had stopped, looking a little anxious.

"I don't know."

"This is clearly for the 'Grass and Tree Demon' thing!"

"It looks like it is......"

"What the hell are these cops doing?" She had been walking around me with her head down since just now, "Why did you come back to study this?" ”

“……”

"Could it be that Zhang Yu and they also told the police what happened here that night?" She stopped abruptly and looked up.

"It's hard to say."

In short, we have no way to figure out the purpose of the police, and this incident has nothing to do with the last time Zhang Fang bullied me on campus - if it wasn't for Zhang Fang's classmate deliberately telling the police that he wanted me to be involved again, then there is no way to explain why the police did this.

Looking back, only Zhang Fang and his party were entangled with me in this place, and now only Zhang Fang and his party are controlled by the police.

"It seems that things have become more complicated with Zhang Yu......"

It seems that even though classmate Zhang Yu has been expelled from the school, he still hasn't given up the matter of the 'Demon of Grass and Trees', and he is still messing around about this wealth.

I exchanged glances with her, and she nodded as if she understood something from me.

"This semester, I've got a lot of work!"

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile.
