Chapter 263: A Graduation Photo from a Hundred Years Ago! Collection on the Deceased?

"Boom..."

A sound interrupted the thoughts of the three people in the museum basement.

"What's the commotion?" Li Zhangge asked suspiciously.

Su Yang turned to look, "It seems to be coming from the auditorium direction."

"So loud? Did someone sneak explosives in?" Li Zhangge was slightly stunned.

One had to know that the distance between the museum and the auditorium was a full kilometer.

If this commotion wasn't explosives, what else could produce such a loud sound?

"It seems someone couldn't help it." Su Yang's mouth curled into an arc.

He thought Xue Yong and Lai Siyao should have already received the big gift he sent.

Wanting to enter the door without his consent?

It wasn't that easy.

"Go take a look?" Li Zhangge proposed.

"No rush, it was hard to find the secret room, we must get some harvest," Su Yang said slowly.

"Besides, good food isn't afraid of being late; what should be yours will always be yours."

Li Zhangge saw his mentality was so relaxed, so he didn't say anything more.

Su Yang instructed: "First check these two corpses, see if there are any good things."

Li Zhangge and Qin Weiyang looked at each other and acted immediately.

As for Su Yang...

He turned on the flashlight and began to check the exhibits in this secret room.

First, he came to the glass counter near the entrance, looking at the old photos inside, and couldn't help but let out a light "huh."

Looking down, he saw a string of numbers written on the top left corner of this already yellowed photo—

1924-6-25

"Graduation photo?" Su Yang frowned.

Then he used the folding knife to smash the glass and took out the photo inside.

Part of it was the faces of the people in the photo, and the lower part was the corresponding names.

Su Yang captured the three characters "Wei Zeming" at a glance.

Following that, his gaze moved upward, fixing on a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Just like the diary description, gentle and refined, his brows filled with scholarly air.

He wore simple clothes, and a warm smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Judging from the posture of the students sticking close to him, this teacher must be very popular.

At least the subconscious actions of students wouldn't lie.

"June '24..."

Su Yang vaguely remembered that the diary owner's entry time was September '24.

That is, at the beginning of the new semester.

According to the general rotation rules for teachers.

After finishing Grade 3, they would return to Grade 1 and start over.

Of course, there were also some teachers who, due to being too excellent themselves, would stay in Grade 3.

However...

From the words in the diary, it could be roughly inferred that Wei Zeming returned to Grade 1.

Because that female student didn't experience the college entrance examination.

Just as Su Yang was about to put the photo down, he suddenly discovered an interesting place.

He saw Wei Zeming placing his hands on the shoulders of a middle-aged man in front of him, acting intimately.

Su Yang looked at the middle-aged man's name—

Principal-Zhang Hong.

"He had a good relationship with both students and the principal, yet he was isolated and helpless when public opinion broke out?" Su Yang felt doubts in his heart.

Of course, even school leaders didn't have the qualifications to manage students' mouths at all times.

There would always be people discussing this embarrassing matter in unknown corners.

But it wouldn't go so far as to torture a teacher deeply loved by students into that miserable appearance.

At least issue a clarification statement to strongly support Wei Zeming.

But the diary didn't mention it at all, instead letting public opinion continue to ferment.

Until everyone got tired of it, and then it was rarely mentioned.

"And... the school didn't conduct an investigation, this is also too strange," Su Yang frowned tightly.

This photo could reveal quite a bit of information; combined with the collected clues, many places were extremely suspicious.

If Wei Zeming was really wronged, then why didn't he actively cooperate with the inspection?

Innocence for an upright teacher was the most basic quality.

He loved the teaching profession and would absolutely not turn a blind eye.

"Could it be... he was taking the blame for someone?" Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

This guess wasn't groundless; if he were a beast in human skin, then he would definitely do something to try to cover it up.

But Wei Zeming did nothing, instead drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

He even poured out his grievances to the school security guards; this obviously defied common sense.

At this time, he caught sight of another group photo on the glass cabinet next to him.

Smashing the glass to take it out for a look, he saw the protagonists were a group of teachers and more than ten students.

They were conducting a tree-planting activity, and the time was March 12, 1925.

Wei Zeming was also among them; he wore a bamboo hat, held a shovel, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.

The students were equally happy, but under the smiles of two of them, a pair of lifeless eyes were hidden.

Both were girls, one with a beautiful face, the other looking ordinary.

The latter stood beside Wei Zeming, very close, her body leaning slightly toward his direction.

The other stood in the corner, one foot away from the nearest classmate.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Su Yang felt one of the students looked familiar.

So he took out the graduation photo to check.

Sure enough!

The girl who was holding Wei Zeming's arm in the graduation photo was that ordinary-looking girl.

Named—Lin Siying.

"Didn't she graduate?" Su Yang felt doubts arise.

She was still smiling happily when taking the graduation photo, but the next year her eyes were lifeless.

A student who should have graduated actually put on the school uniform again to participate in the tree-planting activity organized by Luoshui Middle School.

Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Came back to help after going to college?"

"Or perhaps... repeating a grade?"

Both possibilities existed, but he was more inclined toward the latter.

"Could it be that she was the pregnant student?" Su Yang's heart stirred.

But this guess was quickly dismissed by him.

At this time, he observed that the beautiful girl on the far left had a strange standing posture.

Looking closely, he saw her lower abdomen slightly bulging.

Such a thin figure, yet she had such an obvious little belly.

And she was trying to cover it up.

Could it be...

Su Yang's brain turned frantically, trying hard to analyze the relationship between the three.

Leverage... taking the blame... pregnancy... repeating a grade...

The answer seemed clearly revealed, but Su Yang vaguely felt something was missing.

"Still missing a fourth person; he is the key to the problem," Su Yang muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Qin Weiyang exclaimed.

He and Li Zhangge looked in the direction of the sound, only to see her slightly open her small mouth, horrified: "I've seen him!"

Su Yang walked over quickly, looking at the person branded with the "Pig" tattoo, "Are you sure?"

"Hmm, when you were in the infirmary this afternoon, you had just left when he came," Qin Weiyang nodded firmly.

The break time after the first class, which was after 2:50 PM.

"Was he injured?" Su Yang asked.

Qin Weiyang straightened his body and pointed to the wound on his knee, "He was bleeding a lot from his knee when he came; I let him handle the wound himself."

At that time, she felt it was strange; how could one fall and get such a big hole?

And judging from the injury, it was either caused by being hit by a car or falling from a height of at least two meters.

"And..."

Qin Weiyang took out a key shining with silver light,

"I also found this in his pocket." ===== CHAPTER 264 =====
