Chapter 55: Death Case
On Saturday, Lu Yan He rarely didn't go out before 6:30.
However, he still got up early and listened to history audio and English news in his room.
Yan Liang knocked on the door and asked if he should bring breakfast back.
Lu Yan He thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, I'll cook some noodles myself."
Save some money.
When Yan Liang heard this, he said: "Then cook a bowl for me too."
Lu Yan He nodded.
Forty minutes passed, Yan Liang returned and went to take a shower.
Lu Yan He went to the kitchen to get busy.
He prepared two bowls, fried two eggs, one for each bowl, added salt, chicken essence, and soy sauce, turned on the fire to boil water. Once the water boiled, he threw the noodles in, cooked them for five minutes, scooped them out, mixed them in the bowls, and the dry-tossed noodles were done.
Yan Liang happened to come out after his shower.
"Whoa, your cooking skills are getting better and better," Yan Liang said, taking a bite, somewhat surprised.
Lu Yan He said: "It's okay. I've been cooking more these days, and slowly practiced a bit of skill."
Yan Liang ate with gusto: "Really good, not worse than the small noodle shop at the entrance."
"Another path opened up. If I fail the college entrance exam in the future, I can also set up a small stall to sell noodles," Lu Yan He laughed.
"Then you'll be on fire, the most handsome noodle-selling guy in history," Yan Liang said.
Hearing this, Lu Yan He nodded: "Speaking of which, can I also take this path? Maybe I can get a little bit popular again."
"You'd better not have this idea. If you do, others will say you're hyping yourself up," Yan Liang said.
"Hype or not, who cares?" Lu Yan He thought, if he could really get popular, who cares what others say? In this era, being popular is the hard truth.
However, this idea really wasn't worth pursuing. This kind of inexplicable popularity also had inexplicable reasons. It wasn't that just finding a handsome guy or beautiful girl to set up a stall on the side of the road would make them popular.
"Are you going to the company for rehearsal today?" Lu Yan He asked.
Yan Liang nodded: "I have to go. The pressure will be high next. Sigh, I'm also unlucky, happening to run into the art exam at this time."
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't Zhou Ping'an say he was going to eliminate people at the end of the year? In the end, he will only take three people, and the others will have to fend for themselves," Yan Liang said. "And I happen to be taking the art exam this year. If I don't get into the Beijing Film Academy, I guess I'll be eliminated."
"Just work hard and get in."
"It's not that simple. How many people take the art exam every year, and how many are aiming for the Beijing Film Academy?" Yan Liang said. "The little fame I have after debuting doesn't have much effect on me."
"Doesn't Zhou Ping'an help you hire the best art exam teachers for guidance?"
"He definitely hires teachers, but I don't know if they are the best," Yan Liang sighed. "And hiring teachers for me also requires me to spend my own money. I don't have much money to hire particularly awesome teachers."
The company wouldn't pay for Yan Liang.
In this era, more and more young entertainers have quite good family backgrounds because if they don't have a good family background, they can't support them to realize their dreams.
Studying acting and preparing for the art exam all cost a lot of money.
If Yan Liang hadn't debuted early and become an entertainer, earning a little money, relying solely on his family's situation, he wouldn't have the conditions to hire teachers.
Yan Liang had worked so hard and been so obedient these past few years, relying on the work the company gave him, to save some money.
This was also the reason why Lu Yan He had long ago dismissed the idea of taking the art exam.
He didn't have those conditions.
"What about you?" Yan Liang asked. "Really not taking the art exam?"
"Not taking it," Lu Yan He said. "Even if I get into the Beijing Film Academy, Zhou Ping'an won't continue to manage me."
Yan Liang was silent.
Because he knew that what Lu Yan He said was right.
"Finished eating, you wash the bowls, I'm leaving," Lu Yan He said.
"Where are you going?" Yan Liang asked.
"Meeting a classmate for self-study."
Yan Liang was dumbfounded.
Lu Yan He was really like an ordinary high school student in every way now.
They met at the municipal library.
The municipal library had a large study room they could use.
Lu Yan He was the first to arrive, just in time for the library to open.
Quite a few people came to the municipal library to read, and quite a few were waiting for it to open. Half looked like students, and the other half looked like retired elderly people.
An old lady next to him looked at Lu Yan He and said with a smile: "You look really handsome."
Lu Yan He looked at the old lady innocently.
"Thank you."
The old lady asked: "How old is the young man this year? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Lu Yan He smelled a hint of "introducing a girlfriend."
"Old lady, I'm only in my final year of high school."
The old lady said "Whoa" and said: "That's too young, not suitable for my granddaughter."
Lu Yan He: "..."
He didn't know what to say.
Lu Yan He went to the study room, and it was empty.
After a while, Linyu and Chen Qin also came.
On Saturday morning, there was no one in the library, and it was very quiet.
They were reading books and doing problems when suddenly, a scream rang out outside.
Lu Yan He and the others looked up one after another, looking at the door with some surprise.
The scream lasted a bit long, full of fear, as if they had witnessed something terrifying, rather than the short scream made in panic.
"What's wrong?" Linyu asked.
"Should we go out and see?" Chen Qin asked.
Seeing this, Lu Yan He nodded and said: "Let's go see."
The three high school students walked out of the study room and found that many people had gathered at the entrance of the restroom in the front right.
"What happened?" Chen Qin asked suspiciously.
Lu Yan He, however, felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.
It was just like a scene in "Detective Conan."
Could it be that someone died?
Lu Yan He thought with some surprise.
"Dead, someone died!" In the crowd gathered at the entrance of the restroom, a man suddenly shouted in a panicked voice.
Linyu and Chen Qin's faces changed.
Only Lu Yan He had a "No way?" flash through his mind.
"Call the police, hurry up and call the police!" someone shouted.
"Call 120!"
"Call what 120, the person is already dead!"
"Are they really dead?"
It was a mess in front of them.
Lu Yan He and the others didn't go forward and looked at each other.
Linyu's face was pale, and she said: "Are, are we still going to stay here?"
"We can't leave," Lu Yan He said. "If we leave at this time, it will look like we have a guilty conscience and are easily suspected."
"Ah, right," Linyu nodded. "Then let's go in, I don't want to stay here."
"Hmm."
The three of them returned to the study room again.
After such a thing happened, the three of them couldn't calm down to study, sitting in their seats, silently calming their moods.
After a while, the police came, immediately blocked the scene, and retrieved the on-site surveillance.
Qiu Ling was asking questions at the scene with people when she accidentally saw a familiar figure. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
