Chapter 571

With a "bang," Thomas threw down his suitcase. He hurried over and then pulled that bedroom door wide open.

When Lex walked over, he saw a beautiful girl lying in a pool of blood, her chest pierced through. At this time, she had no breath.

She was wearing a cheerleader's uniform, her face was painted with exquisite makeup, and in the handbag scattered by her side, there were various cosmetics for touch-ups, all of which were now soaked in blood.

Not far from the corpse, a javelin stained with blood was thrown to the side. Judging from the wound, the javelin should be the murder weapon.

"Call the police quickly!" Lex took two steps back, his face looking somewhat pale. He said: "How could someone die here? And..."

Lex looked up and saw the door plate. It said 404, which meant this was the bedroom next to his. And on the first day he arrived, someone died here. Lex turned his head away and revealed a trace of disgust, as if he didn't want to look at that crime scene anymore.

Thomas took his expression as fear, so he stood up, took two steps back, blocked in front of Lex, and said: "You are an outsider, so you don't understand. Calling the police here is useless, the police can't manage anything."

"She should be a cheerleader, right? How could she die here? Isn't this a boys' dormitory?" Thomas muttered to himself somewhat puzzled.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairwell. Thomas turned around vigilantly, and Lex also turned his head to look at where the sound came from.

The person walking up was Bruce Wei En.

He squinted his eyes, kept a straight face, and before Thomas could speak, he said first: "Who is it? What are you making noise for? What time is it now? Are you not letting people sleep?!"

He closed his eyes, sighed, and looked like he hadn't woken up. Thomas hurried over and came to the stairwell. The light became brighter, and Bruce finally saw Thomas's face clearly. He said: "Oh, Thomas, it's you. I thought it was some freshman holding a party here."

Thomas turned back, waved at Lex, and said: "Let me introduce you, this is the famous Bruce Wei En, and also your senior."

"You are Wei En?" Lex asked while walking out of the darkness. The moment Bruce saw him, his expression didn't change, but he raised his head and said: "That's right, I am Wei En. You are a freshman, was the commotion just now caused by you?"

"I'm warning you, you'd better know the rules. Don't hold parties when I'm resting, otherwise, I'll make you look good!"

Lex stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and said: "Hello, I am Lex, Lex Luthor."

Bruce looked into his eyes but didn't shake his hand, instead saying: "Luthor? You are from the Luthor family? I almost forgot about you. What are you doing in Cat Getan? Roll back to your Metropolis!"

"I never knew that Wei En actually considered himself the local snake of Cat Getan. You didn't even pick a better city. Does this make you very proud?" Lex countered.

"Wait a minute! Stop arguing!" Thomas hurried to walk between the two, separated them, and then turned to look at the crime scene. He said: "A murder just happened here. Whoever it is, go call the teacher quickly!"

After speaking, he glanced at Lex, saw his neatly groomed head of red hair, and his hands that looked like they had never touched housework and were well-maintained. His expression changed slightly, but then he said: "Lex is a freshman, he shouldn't know any teachers. Bruce, you go."

"No, the teacher at the freshman registration office just now was quite kind. I'll go find him," Lex said.

But just as Lex was about to leave, Bruce stretched out a hand to block him and pushed him toward his shoulder, almost pushing him to fall to the ground. Bruce said: "Stay here. Looking at your frail appearance of panting after walking two steps, it's more suitable for you to go home and cry to your parents."

After speaking, he turned and left. Thomas supported Lex and said: "Don't mind it, he sometimes has a bit of a quick temper. You'll get used to it."

Lex turned his head away and said: "Thanks. If the first person I met wasn't you, I would have thought Cat Getan people were all so unfriendly."

"Ah, not all of them. At least the students in this school are all okay. By the way, it seems your health is a bit poor. Forgive my offense, you..."

"I have some hereditary diseases, so my physical strength is very poor. And before, my father wouldn't let me go out, so I didn't have any opportunities for exercise," Lex said, leaning against the wall of the corridor.

"Then why did you leave Metropolis this time? As far as I know, Metropolis University is much better than Cat Getan University."

"Two months ago, my father passed away. His previous lovers frequently came to the door, which made me feel very annoyed. I also didn't have the patience to be asked questions by his business partners, so I simply hid here."

Thomas revealed a sudden realization, then made a sad expression and said: "My condolences."

Lex shook his head, but his expression let Thomas know that, I'm afraid, his relationship with his father wasn't good either.

But Thomas, born into a prestigious family, also knew that there were few pure family relationships in such big families. Lex's parents were both dead, but it also meant that he inherited all the property of the Luthor family, just like Bruce Wei En.

Thinking of this, Thomas's expression changed again. But soon, rapid footsteps sounded from the stairwell. Several girls ran up. The one leading was very beautiful, and she was wearing the same cheerleader uniform as the dead girl, and even had the pom-poms used by cheerleaders in her hands.

Seeing the face of the deceased, the girl wailed, then hurried over, knelt beside the corpse, and said: "Doris! How could this happen?!

"Christine, do you know her?" Thomas asked.

"Of course! She is Doris, a member of the Cat Getan University Cheerleading Dance Troupe. And we just finished rehearsing, and didn't even have time to change clothes..."

"Did you rehearse so early?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, because we have a performance in a while, in half an hour. By rights, we should be waiting backstage now." Christine's beautiful face was full of sadness, she started to cry continuously, and then said: "Doris is the lead dancer of the second group. Her group members couldn't find her, so they came to find me. I thought she had overslept..."

"But, I called her home, no one answered. Her parents told me she didn't return all night. At that time, I knew, maybe... but I didn't expect, how could she..."

Christine pursed her lips, covered her face with her hands, and squatted on the ground for a while. After that, she stood up and looked at Thomas, asking: "What exactly is going on? How could she die in the boys' dormitory?"

"I don't know either. I originally wanted to go back to my own bedroom to get my key. My bedroom is on the 3rd floor, but on the way, I met this freshman, Lex. He couldn't move his suitcase, and the dormitory was on the 4th floor, so I helped him move it up."
