Chapter XXXI: List of Victims
Xi Yu sat up, the bedding was as clean as when they first arrived, but the walls around her were slowly oozing blood, and it was dark blood that had been dry and dry.
She tried to scrape the freshly painted white paint off the walls with the knife she had at hand, and was not surprised to see a deep red.
Obviously, the white paint was made to hide the blood behind the walls.
What has the owner of this bed experienced?
The morning classes of the third class of high school were Li Shu's English class and Jiang Lier's Chinese class, and Xi Yu and Qin He were left to check the background of the school with their library cards.
Aside from all the oddities, several buildings at Yueshan Middle School are particularly magnificent, with four eight-story red and white high-rise buildings enclosing a rectangular shape, glass clearly imprinting the interior scene of the state-of-the-art facilities, a flat and soft artificial turf in the center of the standard 400-meter plastic track, a spire bell tower standing on the side of the playground, and several outdoor basketball courts and gymnasiums next to it.
Alien to the above is the abandoned building near the dormitory building in the distance, full of wild grass, bleak and cold, as if there is no life.
First came to the archives room located on the first floor of the teaching building, and after checking Qin He's library card, the administrator waved the two of them in.
The archives contain information files of school leaders, teachers, and students, as well as every event that should be recorded in the school.
"I really didn't expect to meet Officer Xiao Xi here." Qin He saw that Xi Yu had found the files at the beginning of the school's establishment, and took the initiative to smile: "The last time I went to the city bureau to do something, I didn't see Officer Xiao Xi." β
"Because I quit."
Xi Yu shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "You should have already guessed what I did, and there is no point in calling me a police officer again, I didn't refute you before just to reassure the other two teammates, you don't have to call me a police officer again." β
"The character is still the same as before, and I still want to save everyone when I get to this kind of place."
"It's just that admitting to being a police officer doesn't reassure everyone."
Qin He took over the file that Xi Yu had finished reading, and he looked at Xi Yu suspiciously, and chuckled: "You don't know yet, Li Shu is the murderer of the serial murder case that the Hanjiang City Bureau has been investigating recently, and it happens to be the target of my investigation, if it weren't for these strange talks, he might have been caught." β
Xi Yu sighed, and finally found the academic calendar of Hanjiang University in the new file: "Aren't you a professor of Hanjiang University?" With such a wide range of business? β
"Since Xiaoyu, ah, I can call you that, right?"
Qin He asked Xi Yu's opinion without sincerity, and seeing that she was noncommittal, he continued: "Since Xiaoyu is so honest, I'll tell you directly." β
"After the disappearance of those people, I quit my job and opened a random bookstore, occasionally working as a private investigator to help the poor people who had no way to turn to help me."
The archive room, which was full of the smell of old paper and ink, suddenly fell silent, and Xi Yu stopped reading and looked at Qin He from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze.
After a while, Xi Yu, who had always maintained a professional smile, put away her smile, and just when Qin He thought she would at least respond something, Xi Yu pointed to the few files she had read and said, "Yueshan Middle School is not a normal school. β
"These archives not only say that Yueshan Middle School was established as early as 80 years ago, some say that Yueshan Middle School is a new school, and some say that the predecessor of Yueshan Middle School was the Ming Yao School of the Qing Dynasty, I thought these were misleading information, but these school histories are very detailed."
"I think it's very likely that Yueshan High School is just a 'good' school in the concept and doesn't actually exist."
"Of course, in addition to that, I made another discoveryβ"
"Wait, Xi Yu, you were a policeman before, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qin He interrupted her with a complicated expression, and his tone was strange: "You should understand what I'm hinting at you, right?" β
"I understand, but this time is different from the past, and they should be reluctant to catch talents like you."
To be honest, Xi Yu didn't care much about what Qin He did, everyone had their own choice, everything in the world had a cause and effect, but as long as those people made a wrong choice, they would not usher in such a bad result.
"In every school in the file, there has been more than one serious incident of large-scale school violence."
Xi Yu took the several files in his hand to the empty table on the side and spread them out in turn.
"Lingdu Middle School, an aristocratic high school established in 1978, the students are either rich or expensive, but the grades have been not good, and in 1990 began to recruit ordinary students with excellent grades, however, every ordinary student who entered Lingdu Middle School has become the object of bullying for those young masters and young ladies. Victims: Chen Miaoyu, Guan Fei, Meng Ping, 35 people. β
"Yongan High School, an old school built in 1938, has a very good archive, but in 2014, there was a vicious campus bullying incident that caused students to jump off the building, and the participants covered half a year, and even before the students jumped off the building, there were people shouting stupid things like 'jump' and 'die' on the ground. Victim: Fang Xiaoyue. β
"Jiuyue No. 3 Middle School, a new school established in 2008, formerly known as Jiuyue School of the Republic of China, has poor grades, mixed students, and serious bribery of school leaders, so far hundreds of students have suffered serious campus violence in No. 3 Middle School, and the victims have suffered injuries such as stuffing rats, throwing books, wetting bedding, throwing away clothes, beatings, and isolation. Victims: Song Mianmian, Li Yue, Wen Xin, Nie Yunyun, Yang Tianxing, Jiang Shiming and other 158 people. β
β¦β¦
After talking about several schools in a row, before opening the last file, Xi Yu quietly glanced at Qin He's face: "Hanjiang No. 1 Middle School, a high school established in Hanjiangdong District in 1985, is a provincial key middle school, known for its excellent grades and open-minded and relaxed school spirit. β
However, the school's small group bullying is extremely serious, and the targets are often students with withdrawn personalities and weak family strengths. Victims: Xi Yu, Qin Yuan, Zhou Yutong, An Shengming and 15 others. β
This file is ridiculously informative, not only clarifying the composition and history of Yueshan Middle School, but also giving Xi Yu a guess about the identity of the students here.
For example, Yang Tianxing, whom she saw yesterday, was in the list of victims of Lingdu Middle School.
Xi Yu calmly read out her name while digesting the information in the file, she was indeed a student of Hanjiang No. 1 Middle School, and she did meet the conditions of the bullying target on the file, and her name was even ranked in front of Qin Yuan, who committed suicide, but she really didn't remember what happened in her high school.
ββ¦β¦ Is the family weak? Ha, I'm really looking for a target. β
Qin He's all his attention was on Qin Kite, he had always been personable and easy, he was unable to hide the hatred and guilt on his face, in order to divert his attention, he asked, "But Xiaoyu, why are you also inside?" β
