Chapter 571

With a "bang," Thomas dropped his suitcase. He hurriedly ran over and then opened that door completely.

When Lex walked over, he saw a beautiful girl lying in a pool of blood, her chest pierced, and she was no longer breathing.

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 submerged in blood.

Not far from the corpse, a javelin stained with blood was thrown aside. 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 room number. It was written 404, which meant this was the dormitory next to his. And on the first day he arrived, someone died here. Lex turned his head away, revealing a trace of disgust, as if he didn't want to look at the 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 stairs. Thomas turned around vigilantly, and Lex also turned his head to look at where the sound came from.

The person walking up was Bruce Wayne.

He squinted his eyes, kept a straight face, and before Thomas could speak, he said first: "Who is it? What's the noise? 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 hurriedly walked up and arrived at the stairs. The light was a bit brighter, and Bruce then 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 Wayne, and also your senior."

"You are Wayne?" 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 Wayne. You are a freshman in the first grade. Was the commotion just now caused by you?"

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

Lex walked up, stretched out a hand, and said: "Hello, I am Lex, Lex Luthor."

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

"I never knew that Wayne actually considered himself a local snake in Gotham. You didn't even pick a better city. Does this make you very proud?" Lex countered.

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

After speaking, he glanced at Lex, saw his neatly groomed 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 amiable. I'll go find him." Lex said.

But just as Lex was about to leave, Bruce stretched out a hand to stop him and pushed him toward his shoulder, almost causing 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 helped Lex and said: "Don't mind it, he sometimes has a bit of a temper. You'll get used to it."

Lex turned his head away and said: "Thanks. If it weren't for you being the first one I met, I would have thought Gotham people were all so unfriendly."

"Ah, not all of them. At least the students in this school are all okay. By the way, it looks like 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 opportunity to 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 Gotham 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 he was probably not on good terms with his father either.

But Thomas, who was born into a prestigious family, also knew that there were rarely 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 Wayne.

Thinking of this, Thomas's expression changed again, but soon, hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs. Several girls ran up. The leader was very beautiful and was wearing the same cheerleader uniform as the dead girl, even holding the pom-poms used by cheerleaders in her hand.

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

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

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

"Are your rehearsals so early?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, because we have a performance in half an hour. According to reason, we should be waiting backstage now." Christine's beautiful face was full of sadness, she started crying 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 on earth is going on? How could she die in the boys' dormitory?"

"I don't know either. I originally wanted to go back to my dormitory to get my key. My dormitory 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."
