Chapter 266: The So-Called Subversive Secret! The Predecessor of Strange Objects!

~7 min read 1,307 words

"It's him?" Qin Weiyang was full of confusion, then asked: "Why?"

"All of this is based on the premise that Wei Zeming is innocent, then the person behind the scenes must be powerful, and have an intimate relationship with both him and Ye Wanjun," Su Yang said.

Li Zhangge shone the light over at this time and discovered the girl in the photo holding a trophy, with the man's arm around her shoulder.

One was wearing a school uniform, the other was wearing a suit.

The common point between the two was that smiles were on their faces.

But the emotions hidden behind the smiles were completely different.

"Luoshui City Annual High School Student Innovation Essay Competition First Prize..."

He read the honor on the trophy once, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on that essay about Wei Zeming.

Looking back, he discovered Ye Wanjun's smile carried a bit of bitterness and sadness.

"Zhang Hong is the true mastermind behind the scenes?" Li Zhangge asked.

"Based on the known clues, I think so," Su Yang nodded.

"According to your reasoning, Zhang Hong had an unspeakable relationship with Ye Wanjun; he arranged for Wei Zeming to take the blame, so what role did Lin Siying play in it?" Qin Weiyang didn't understand.

Su Yang placed several photos side by side, observing the faces at different periods.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "First of all, the persona Wei Zeming showed was loving this profession, and also loving his students."

"Of course, this kind of love didn't mix with anything else, just a simple love of a teacher for a student."

"In this situation, Lin Siying repeating a grade is key; she must have had some leverage grabbed by Zhang Hong, using Wei Zeming's soft-hearted and honest nature to threaten him."

"Furthermore, Ye Wanjun had excellent grades, deep attainments in painting and writing, plus natural appearance advantages; who wouldn't like this kind of girl?"

"Wei Zeming was her head teacher, and the two had a very good relationship, participating in many activities together; many students witnessed this."

"If I were Zhang Hong, after attacking a student and worrying about the matter being exposed, he would definitely be the first choice for a scapegoat."

Now it was Li Zhangge's turn to be confused, "Where did you know so much information?"

Su Yang took two crumpled pieces of paper from his pocket and signaled: "I've read part of the diary."

Li Zhangge took it to examine, but after just scanning it twice, he lost interest.

The reason was nothing else; it didn't contain descriptions of the relationship between the four.

At this time, Qin Weiyang suddenly remembered something and said: "Wei Zeming said before he died that he wanted to reveal a secret that subverted cognition... is this what he meant?"

"Ye Wanjun is already dead; right and wrong no longer concern him, he just wanted to give the deceased's parents an explanation and let the truth come to light," Su Yang nodded.

He didn't show his face for a whole summer vacation; Wei Zeming must have been enduring great psychological torment.

Both palms and backs of the hands are meat; Zhang Hong was a principal, with eyes and hands reaching the sky.

In this situation, no matter how he chose, it was wrong.

Perhaps related to his personality, he swallowed his anger and silently endured everything.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was an out-and-out beast, but in the eyes of students who knew the inside story, he appeared incomparably pitiful.

"The idle talk of the neighborhood plus the endless accusations of his parents became the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"Thus Ye Wanjun couldn't bear the pressure and jumped to her death."

"And her death... also became the last straw that broke Wei Zeming," Su Yang said slowly.

Dying with hatred in the most beautiful age, such a talented and beautiful girl died just like that.

She should have had a bright future, with infinite possibilities.

"Then Wei Zeming's death... isn't it suicide?" Qin Weiyang felt a shock in her heart.

According to Su Yang's statement, the outcome was extremely likely to be murder.

The purpose was to seal his mouth!

Zhang Hong wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Accurately speaking, a person corrupted by power would never abandon this feeling of being omnipotent.

"I don't know, we are still missing a key clue," Su Yang shook his head.

"If only we could see the follow-up content of the diary," Qin Weiyang sighed secretly.

They happened to see the key node, but at that time they encountered the dangerous situation of being possessed by the "Faceless Man."

If it weren't for this, they could have sorted out the whole situation.

Perhaps they could have found the key elements for the hidden achievement.

It's just...

Now the original diary was in Xue Yong's hands.

"So what if we know the truth? What does this have to do with the treasure?" Li Zhangge asked curiously.

Su Yang went to such great lengths to sort out the story line and made such bold guesses.

But in his view, this was just a story.

It had no relationship with the main theme of this game.

"The game has a main quest, and also side quests."

"There is only one main quest, and that is to find the treasure."

"There can be thousands of side quests, but no matter how they go, they will eventually converge to the main quest."

"All roads lead to the same destination; what we are doing now is not only digging out the truth of that year but also providing help for our treasure hunt," Su Yang said unhurriedly.

Once these words were out, Li Zhangge realized the other party was already confident.

So he asked: "You have a clue?"

Su Yang nodded slightly, "I have a guess..."

Then he pointed to the key figures in the photos and said: "Strange objects are related to them."

"You mean..." Qin Weiyang's pupils shrank slightly.

"Whether it's the 'Butcher' or the 'Faceless Man', their predecessors were all human," Su Yang's eyes shone with light.

Li Zhangge's eyes widened, unbelievable: "They were all turned from humans?"

Su Yang didn't speak, just used a knife to cut the people in the photos into a separate part and placed them randomly.

"Butcher, Faceless Man, plus two burial coffins, exactly corresponding to these four people."

"The Butcher's weakness is light, but the Faceless Man doesn't have such a weakness, so I think its predecessor is Zhang Hong."

Su Yang placed Zhang Hong's portrait in the first place.

"Cannot see the light?" Qin Weiyang frowned.

"Similarly, the owners of these two coffins have always been manipulated by others, hanging high in the air, placed in a posture of atonement..."

"The predecessors are highly likely to be the two girls," Su Yang pointed to their photos and stacked them up and down.

"Isn't that a Yin-Yang coffin?" Li Zhangge asked in confusion.

"Still remember the scene where the coffin opened and two skeletons fell into the dark river?" Su Yang didn't explain, looking at Qin Weiyang.

At that moment, Qin Weiyang put all her attention on Gao Chang and Shen Yuran, and only gave it a hurried glance.

"Didn't see clearly."

"Considering the age factor, the two skeletons are about 1.5 meters, so the original height was about 1.6 meters," Su Yang pointed to the side-by-side portraits and continued:

"The biggest difference between men and women lies in the pelvic shape; although I didn't look closely, I can also distinguish the gender from the bone structure."

Li Zhangge looked as if he had discovered a new continent, surprised: "Where did you learn these?"

"Read more books, you never know when you might use them," Su Yang smiled. ===== CHAPTER 267 =====
