Chapter 7: The Past

Early the next morning, Xue Wenbin and Wu Jingjing went back to school together, originally Xue Wenbin planned to come back alone to check the files, but Wu Jingjing was always not at ease, noisy to accompany him, Xue Wenbin was both moved and helpless, so he had to promise to let her come together, and the two made an appointment to go out at seven o'clock to meet and enter the school before eight o'clock.

It is exactly eight o'clock now, the school library has been opened, and the archives room is on the second floor of the library, there is a special teacher on duty, Xue Wenbin's identity is more special, so he made up a love activity to visit the earliest alumni in the early days of the school, to ask the teacher to open the archives room and let them consult some information to make arrangements.

After a lot of talk, the teacher on duty finally agreed to let him and Wu Jingjing go to the archives to check it, and the two of them were overjoyed and thanked each other vigorously.

The archive room is in the corner of the second floor of the library, the handle of the green painted iron door has rust, and I don't know how many years have not changed the door, the teacher on duty opened the door and explained the precautions before going downstairs, Xue Wenbin and Wu Jingjing agreed, and they were relieved.

The area of the entire archive room is no more than 50 square meters, and there are not two large wooden glass cabinets on both sides behind the door, the cabinet is covered with dust, and the glass is labeled with the information of each class of students, and the dense dark information bags are neatly arranged inside.

"Let's get started!" The two of them glanced at each other, opened the glass case and began to search for materials from more than 20 years ago, and the archive room opened and became quiet again, only the sound of turning the paper could be heard.

But half an hour passed, and the two of them never found any information about the Class of 85 graduates, nor did they have any record of the 504 incident, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, did the school delete and destroy the files in order to avoid the stain of the 504 incident from remaining in the world?

"Damn!" Xue Wenbin scolded angrily, and Wu Jingjing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Forget it, let's think of another way." ”

Xue Wenbin's face softened slightly, "Hmm." ”

When the two got out of school, Wu Jingjing asked Xue Wenbin if he wanted to call Zhang Shuo, Xue Wenbin looked at the time and felt that it was still early, so he proposed to go to his house first and wait, and contact him later so that Zhang Shuo could rest more.

When I got home, Mother Xue happened to be resting today, and when she saw Wu Jingjing coming, she naturally welcomed her warmly, and asked for warmth, obviously acquiescing to the relationship between the two, and she liked this little girl in her heart.

The two went back to the bedroom to chat, and Wu Jingjing suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and said hurriedly: "Whose parents around us graduated from Z school, are they?" ”

"I don't know, I never asked, what?"

"Do you think, if any of our parents and relatives graduated from Z school, they must be of similar age, maybe they know the inside story of 504?"

Xue Wenbin's eyes lit up, "That's right, then are your parents?" ”

Wu Jingjing scratched her head, "No, my parents graduated from Y School in Nanhua County, why don't you ask your mother?" ”

"What are you talking about so happily?" At this time, Mother Xue walked in with the peeled fruit, "About the school?" I think I hear you talking about school? ”

"Aunt Xue, I'll come." Wu Jingjing got up and took the fruit plate, Xue Wenbin took a deep breath, and asked tentatively, "Mom, are you a graduate of Z school?" ”

Mother Xue was handing the apple to Wu Jingjing, and said casually when she heard the words: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Really!!" Xue Wenbin stood up from the bed with a bang, his face full of surprise, which startled Xue's mother.

"What's wrong? What a fuss! ”

Wu Jingjing hurriedly pulled Xue Wenbin's sleeve, motioned for him to sit down, and explained with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, by the way, Aunt Xue, you graduated in that class?" ”

Mother Xue saw that the two of them looked strange, like expectation and nervousness, and was puzzled, but she still replied: "85th, what's wrong?" ”

Xue Wenbin and Wu Jingjing burst into their minds, as if a thunderbolt flashed to illuminate the dark night, and they looked at each other incredibly, their eyes were shocked and inexplicable.

How can it be such a coincidence?

What a surprise!

Mother Xue looked at the two of them with expressions of surprise and joy, and the more confused she became, "What's the matter?" Why are you weird? ”

"Mom......" Xue Wenbin tried to calm down his excitement, and said word by word: "Have you ever heard of the murder incident in Room 504 of Building 3 back then?" ”

Mother Xue's face changed slightly, and her smile slowly converged, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Leave it alone, tell me quickly!"

Mother Xue's expression was very unnatural, and she suddenly got up and was about to go out, and said casually: "I don't know." ”

"Mom..."Xue Wenbin saw that she was leaving, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "I've been to the 504 dormitory......"

Mother Xue turned around and looked at him with a pale face, "You ......"

.........................

Zhang Shuo, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by the phone, because he fell asleep very late last night, so he didn't get up at almost ten o'clock.

Stretched out his hand to pick up the mobile phone, and when he saw that it was Xue Wenbin calling, Zhang Shuo rubbed his sleepy eyes and connected the phone, and as soon as the phone was connected, Xue Wenbin's anxious voice came from the other end, "Brother Shuo, come to my house, I found what you asked me to check!" ”

Zhang Shuo, who was not yet awake, instantly sobered up when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Really!? ”

...... At half past ten, Zhang Shuo came to Xue Wenbin's house, and saw Wu Jingjing sitting on the sofa with a guilty face, bowing her head and saying nothing.

When Mother Xue saw Zhang Shuo coming, she immediately greeted her, "Come on, sit down." ”

"Okay Aunt Xue, you're welcome." After Zhang Shuo sat down, he carefully observed Mother Xue's expression, and then said with a straight face: "Aunt Xue, did Wen Bin tell you everything that happened recently?" ”

Mother Xue's smile froze, glared at Xue Wenbin unhappily, and nodded with a sigh.

"Well, now that Aunt Xue knows what happened, I won't beat around the bush anymore, please stop blaming them, after all, no one knows that the matter is so serious, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem."

"I know..."Mother Xue's eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be very worried about her son's affairs, "Zhang Shuo, you and Wen Bin have been good friends since childhood, can you really help them?" ”

"Aunt Xue, please rest assured, I will definitely protect them!" Zhang Shuo replied categorically.

Mother Xue relieved her heart, "Okay, what do you have to ask?" ”

"I want to know what happened to the 504 murder incident that happened in your session that year, the names of the victims and the other three people in that dormitory, and the inside story of the whole incident! Trouble auntie tell me everything she knows. ”

Mother Xue hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." As he spoke, he looked up at the ceiling, his eyes flashing with remembrance.

"The bits and pieces of 25 years ago are still like yesterday...... I am a student of Class 3 of Class 85, there were three classes in that class, and there were about 20 people in each class, and the deceased of the 504 incident was a student of Class 1 - Wang Yong! ”

"Wang Yong?"

"Yes, his name is Wang Yong, he is a student in the first class, he has excellent academic performance, and he is one of the best in his grade, but it is said that this person has a withdrawn personality and rarely interacts with people, and he is a poor family from a remote mountainous area, so despite his good grades, he is often excluded, especially with two schools in his dormitory, one is called Han Chunfei, and the other is called Xie San, these two

At that time, I only relied on relationships to enter Z school, not only forming gangs in the school, often bullying the weak, but also implicated with outside social elements, often intercepting students to grab money for cigarettes and smoking, it can be said that it was so bad that I would have been kicked out of school if it wasn't for some power at home. ”

"But because of this, they will be more displeased with poor students like Wang Yong, calling on other students in the class to suppress and isolate this fellow dormitory classmates, once when I passed by the playground, I saw them call someone to pull Wang Yong to the grove and beat him, I heard that when in the dormitory, Wang Yong was also bullied by them, often called by them, dared to disobey him secretly cleaned him up, and threatened Wang Yong to break his leg if he dared to sue... There are countless rumors like this..."

"Since the beginning of high school, Wang Yong has often been bullied by them, but it is strange to say that he really didn't go to sue the teacher, and the teacher turned a blind eye to it, and almost no one in their class got along with him at that time, except for one person!"

When Zhang Shuo heard this, his heart chuckled, "Who?" ”

"Li-Ping-Hua!"

Zhang Shuo and Xue Wenbin glanced at each other and nodded heartily to each other.

"Yes, I remembered, this person and Wang Yong are fellow villagers from the same place, and the two live in the same dormitory, so he and Wang Yong have a good relationship."

It turned out that the last person in dormitory 504 was named Li Pinghua!

Zhang Shuo muttered, "That's really the case...", and then asked Xue's mother, "What is the process of the 504 incident?" ”

Mother Xue's eyes darkened, and she still seemed to have palpitations, "That incident happened on February 3, 1985, that morning I came to school, as soon as I arrived in class, I listened to the discussion of the students around me, I was curious and asked a classmate, it turned out that the school had a murder last night!" My mind was blank at the time, I never thought that this kind of thing would happen to me, and I quickly asked to find out that the deceased was Wang Yong! ”

"The incident happened at 11 o'clock in the evening on the 2nd, and the reason was that Wang Yong couldn't stand the long-term bullying of Han Chunfei and Xie San, and finally chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building under the humiliation...... There are various theories about the specific events of that night, but Wang Yong has no other injuries on his body, which can only be characterized as suicide, and he can't sue the two bastards, I heard that the school secretly lost some money to Wang Yong's family, and the incident did not continue to deteriorate, so although some people are unhappy for Wang Yong, there is no way to take Han Chunfei and Xie San, and those two bastards still look like they have nothing to do with themselves, without any guilt, but they just took a few days off school and went back to school. ”

"However, just when everyone thought that this matter was over, on the night of Wang Yong's first seventh, something terrifying happened......!"

"I heard from my classmates that at 12 o'clock that night, there was a very strange sound in the three dormitory buildings, like the beating of a living person's heart...... Boom ...... It came from the 504 dormitory where Han Chunfei and Xie San lived, many people heard it, but no one dared to go over to see it, the sound rang until midnight, and then the next morning, the students in other dormitories got up to wash, passed by 504 but found that the door was open, stretched out to take a look, and immediately collapsed on the ground in fright... It turned out that Han Chunfei and Xie San both died in the dormitory! ”

Zhang Shuo's eyelids jumped, "How can you die?" ”

"I didn't see the corpse, but I just heard what the classmates said, saying that the death was extremely terrifying, the two fell to the ground, their faces were blue and white, their eyes were bloodshot and bulging, they stared at each other, as if they had some deep hatred, and their hands were still tightly pinched on each other's necks... It's like being strangled to death by the other party. ”

Mother Xue's face turned pale instantly when she said this, "Although it was defined by the police as fighting each other to death in the end, we all know that things are not so simple, it is Wang Yong's ghost who came back to ask for his life... In just a few days, there were three murders in a row, which can be said to be a serious blow to the reputation of the school. ”

Since then, strange things often happen in the three dormitory buildings, I heard students say that they often hear fighting and scolding from room 504 at night, and some students see a vague "figure" wandering in the dormitory corridor when they get up at night, and disappear in the blink of an eye, sometimes the dormitory door of the room will open automatically at night... What's even more exaggerated is that in the middle of the night, there will be strange sounds such as driving a horse-drawn carriage in the dormitory, which makes people panic, everyone is not at peace, and even some students are sick. ”

"For this reason, the school quietly invited some monks and Taoists to do it, but the results were useless, and then under pressure from all sides, the three dormitory buildings were finally abandoned."

After finishing speaking, Mother Xue let out a long breath, "I haven't been back to my alma mater since graduation, but this matter has never been forgotten in my mind, I can't imagine that my son will have something to do with this kind of thing now, it's really... Ay... That's all I know, what else do you want to ask? ”

This is the real experience of the "504 incident" more than 20 years ago!

Zhang Shuo thought for a while and said suspiciously: "There is a question I want to ask, what role does Li Pinghua play in this matter, is the other person not in the dormitory?" ”

"This..."Xue's mother tried to recall, "I don't know if he was involved, but the day after Wang Yong's death, he took a leave of absence, and dropped out of school within two days, and I haven't seen this person since!" Later, I heard people who knew him say that he seemed to have gone out of the province to work. ”

Zhang Shuo frowned slightly, gradually relieved after a while, and nodded: "Okay, I know Auntie, Wen Bin's matter is on me, let's go first, and I will send them back in the evening." ”

Mother Xue grabbed Zhang Shuo and Xue Wenbin's hands, tears rolled down her eyes, and she begged sadly: "Please, Wenbin will ask you, you must save him!" ”

"Mom..."Xue Wenbin's nose was sour, and he said with tears: "Brother Shuo will definitely help me." ”

Zhang Shuo is also full of emotion in his heart, all parents hope that their children are safe and healthy, and he can also deeply understand Xue's mother's love and care for Xue Wenbin, "Don't worry, I will do what I say." ”

The three of them left the community, and under Wu Jingjing's eyes, Xue Wenbin hesitated and asked, "Brother Shuo, do you have any solution?" ”

Zhang Shuo turned to look at the two of them, and said idly: "I probably guess that the person the soul is looking for may be around us." ”

"What!?" Xue Wenbin and Wu Jingjing were shocked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Shuo ignored how the two of them were surprised, and asked, "Do you remember what the unjust soul said to me last night?" As long as I promise not to do anything, he will let you four go. ”

"Of course I do."

Zhang Shuo's eyes suddenly became bright and hot, "But you forgot, there is still one person who didn't come!" ”

The two were stunned, and then exclaimed at the same time: "Li Xiaoting!? ”

"That's right, the unjust soul promised to let the four of you go, but didn't promise to let Li Xiaoting go, and when you first played the psychic game, why didn't the unjust soul show up early or late, but when it was Li Xiaoting's turn, he suddenly became difficult? I suspected it before, but I'm not sure, but now it seems that there is only one possibility, that is, when the unjust soul was first recruited by you, it seemed that she was 'playing' with you again, but it was actually taking the opportunity to absorb your yang energy, until it was Li Xiaoting's turn, and the breath on her body was recognized by the unjust soul, so she suddenly became difficult...... Fortunately, she has the purple jade Buddha on her body, all the above signs, plus the inside story that your mother told me just now, do you still need me to explain the rest? ”

Xue Wenbin was shocked: "You mean ......? "I can't talk anymore.

Zhang Shuo said coldly: "If my guess is right, Li Pinghua is Li Xiaoting's father!" ”
