Chapter 1249: Death Incident

~7 min read 1,313 words

It was just that the manner of her death was somewhat peculiar; a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and this smile looked somewhat eerie.

Xia Qing knitted her brows. She raised her head, looked at the girl's arm, put on gloves, and turned the girl's arm over.

She saw that some symbols were tattooed on her arm. She did not understand the meaning these symbols represented, but she felt they were extremely eerie.

"Captain, the floor above has already been surveyed, and the surveillance footage from the hallway has been checked. The girl went upstairs by herself; homicide has been ruled out," a police officer said, hurrying over.

"Ask her friends and teachers around her to see if she had any emotional disputes," Xia Qing said. "Also, hurry and contact her parents."

"Yes." The police officer hurriedly left the area.

"Such a good life, why would she be so unable to let go?" Xia Qing muttered.

Seeing the girl's two eyes wide open, looking as if she had died with a grievance, she reached out her hand, wanting to close the girl's eyes.

"Stop." Just at this moment, a loud shout came from outside the police cordon.

"Who are you? This is a crime scene; you cannot enter," a police officer stopped several university students.

"Uncle, please let me in. I want to see if it's my classmate," Qiqi said anxiously.

Xia Qing turned her head to look and happened to lock eyes with Chen Yu; the shout from just a moment ago had also been issued by Chen Yu.

"It's you?" Xia Qing was slightly stunned. She stood up, walked over, and said to that police officer, "I know him. You go ahead and get busy; leave this to me."

"Xia Qing?" Chen Yu saw Xia Qing and was also slightly stunned. He had met Xia Qing before when he got to know the Six Gates.

"Are you classmates of the deceased?" Xia Qing looked toward Qiqi and the others.

"I'm not sure. I need to go see," Qiqi said hurriedly.

"Come in." Xia Qing led Qiqi.

"Teacher Chen, will you come with me? I'm afraid..." Qiqi turned her head and looked at Chen Yu as if seeking help.

She was indeed a bit afraid; firstly because of the deceased, and secondly, having experienced that small script game last night, she had become extremely sensitive.

"I will accompany her. This matter is not something that can be compared to ordinary affairs," Chen Yu said to Xia Qing.

"Come in." Xia Qing waved her hand, and the police officer on the side let Chen Yu and Qiqi in.

Qiqi walked to the side of the deceased, and her complexion changed slightly: "It's An Ling..."

"Your classmate?" Xia Qing turned her head to look at Qiqi.

"Yes... my classmate. We are in the same dormitory. Teacher Chen, we played a game together last night." Qiqi covered her mouth, unable to react for a long time.

"It seems the matter is more complex than we imagined," Chen Yu nodded slightly. "We need to go back, to that Urban Village."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Xia Qing's complexion changed slightly. She looked at Qiqi: "Since you know her, please go back with us to give a statement."

"Officer, I cannot go back with you. I want to be with Teacher Chen." Qiqi was already trembling with fear.

"Why? Are you hiding something from us? I warn you, if there is anything, it is best not to hide it." Xia Qing's complexion changed slightly.

"Let's go back first, and find that Urban Village before saying anything else," Chen Yu said.

"Are you even listening to me?" Xia Qing's face darkened.

"There is no time to explain this to you now. Human life is at stake; if we don't handle it in time, two more girls will die next," Chen Yu said seriously. "If you really want to save people, don't get to the bottom of it, just help us."

"Stop right there." Seeing the few of them turn to leave, Xia Qing reached out and stopped Chen Yu: "Explain things clearly."

"It will be too late by the time it's explained, and besides, you wouldn't believe it anyway. Let's go." Chen Yu took Qiqi and started to leave.

"Stop them," Xia Qing said angrily.

But Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at the few police officers who had rushed over. These people were slightly stunned and involuntarily stood on the spot, unable to move at all.

They stared blankly at Chen Yu, watching helplessly as Chen Yu took Zhou Meng and the others past them, but they did not make a move to stop them.

"Stop! Why did you let them go?" Seeing Chen Yu and the others walk away, Xia Qing became anxious.

"Ah... Captain, stop who?" That police officer only then woke up as if from a dream, but Chen Yu and the others were already far away.

"Leave this to you. I'm going to go look for those few people; they are suspects." As Xia Qing spoke, she took out her walkie-talkie and called: "I need support here. Two men and three women; they are suspects in a homicide case. Their photos will be issued immediately via surrounding surveillance. If any colleagues see them, you must stop them."

Modu is Modu; the efficiency of the police is also very fast. Chen Yu had originally intended to take the others to find that Urban Village, but suddenly, a burst of sirens wailed, and several police cars blocked them.

"That was fast. We've become suspects?" Chen Yu asked in confusion.

"Teacher Chen, I'm afraid that's the case. We have to go to the police station to be questioned," Zhou Bin said helplessly.

"There is no time. You go back with them; I will go first to prevent this from happening." After Chen Yu finished speaking, he stepped forward. The others only felt a flash before their eyes, and they lost sight of Chen Yu...

"Teacher Chen?" The few people were startled. Chen Yu was truly like a divine dragon that leaves its head visible but hides its tail; he disappeared the moment he said he would. How on earth did he do that?

"Following the teacher makes us a burden to him. Let him go solve it; we can't get involved in these matters. Let's go to the station and cooperate properly," Zhou Bin said.

Thus, the few reached a consensus. They obediently surrendered, waiting to go to the police station to explain their situation clearly.

"Chen Yu, I have already given you the location of that Urban Village. This Urban Village was originally a key renovation project, but later, because of some reasons, work was stopped," Xiao Hong called Chen Yu.

"What is the specific reason? Is it the same as what is rumored outside?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I found an insider to ask, and it is basically the same as what is rumored outside," Xiao Hong said. "As soon as work starts, accidents happen inside. After several people died, no one would take on the project in that place anymore."

"So it has been abandoned for several years. That place is quite evil, and it's quite far from the city center. Are you sure you want to go there yourself?"

"As long as it's confirmed that it's there, I'll go take a look myself," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Thank you."

"Why thank me? Everyone is in the same boat now," Xiao Hong laughed. "If you have any needs, just tell me directly."

"Alright, I'm hanging up first." Chen Yu hung up the phone and then headed toward that Urban Village.

"Master, why are you going to that Urban Village? Are you going on an adventure?" The driver asked Chen Yu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
