After graduation, although Lin Xi rarely chatted in the high school group, he couldn't stand having two talkative friends.

Ye Luoluo and Wu Bin often shared some gossip about their high school classmates with her.

For example, so-and-so got together right after graduation, so-and-so broke up, and so on.

Lin Xi would occasionally listen to it.

In addition to these, they will also chat about the current situation of the teachers who taught them before.

I heard from Ye Luoluo before that after their homeroom teacher Tang Mengyu finished teaching their senior year, he would teach the freshmen this year.

Teaching freshmen is relatively easier than teaching senior high school students, and the pressure is not that great, so Lin Xi never wanted to see Tang Meng again, because she saw that Tang Meng was in such a bad state.

Lin Xi received a call from Tang Meng this morning. The caller asked Lin Xi if she was free today and where. After Lin Xi said she was not busy, Tang Meng breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Okay then. I'll come to your Feng Shui shop later to ask for a favor."

Lin Xi naturally did not refuse.

In just one hour, Tang Meng appeared in the Feng Shui shop.

This was the first time Lin Xi saw Tang Meng again since graduating from high school.

In her impression, Tang Meng is a very responsible and well-mannered teacher who always appears in front of students in the best mental state.

However, at this moment, her brows were furrowed, and her whole body was entangled with a sense of depression and annoyance, as if she had encountered something particularly difficult.

Lin Xi took a quick look at her face and found that everything else about her was fine except for the dark area in her marriage palace, which showed that she was probably troubled by her spouse's affairs.

Lin Xi then asked, "Teacher Tang, did something happen to your husband?"

Before Tang Meng could say anything, Lin Xi told her the reason for her trip.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes instantly, and exclaimed in her heart.

Lin Xi is really more powerful than I thought!

Realizing this, Tang Meng couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In this way, perhaps there is a way to solve my husband's problem.

She nodded vigorously and said quickly.

"Yes, something did happen to my lover, Lin Xi, I want you to help him!"

As she spoke, Tang Meng's eyes unconsciously turned red and her voice began to choke.

Lin Xi took out a piece of paper and handed her a cup of warm tea, comforting her, "Don't worry, Teacher Tang, please explain the matter to me in detail first."

Tang Meng took the paper and wiped her tears, then took a sip of water, and her mood miraculously calmed down a lot.

Then she told him what had happened to her husband during this period.

Tang Meng's husband is Qin Huaishu, who is also a teacher like Tang Meng.

However, the school where he works is not No. 1 Middle School, but a county middle school under the jurisdiction of Chongqing University.

That county is more than an hour's drive from Jiangyu City. Because it is far from home and inconvenient to travel back and forth every day, Qin Huaishu simply lives in the teacher dormitory provided by the school on Mondays and Fridays, and only returns to the city to reunite with his family on weekends.

His life was similar to that of the other boarding students, so teachers on duty would often ask Qin Huaishu, who lived in the school, to help them check the dormitories.

Many teachers in Qin Huaishu's county middle school are locals and live in the county town. When the weather is not good, they don't want to make a special trip from home to the school to check on the dormitories.

It's just a matter of helping to check the dormitory, which is not a big deal. Generally speaking, Qin Huaishu would not refuse, and his colleagues would not ask him for help for free. The next day, they would either treat him to a meal or bring him some fruit.

Colleagues help each other and the teachers get along quite well.

However, he only checked the boys' dormitories, so he could only check on behalf of male teachers.

Just a month ago, a male colleague asked him to help check on the dormitories at night after school.

It rained those days and the temperature was very low at night. Of course, my male colleague didn't want to come out of his house in the cold wind and drizzle to check on the dormitories.

Qin Huaishu agreed as before.

After the evening self-study class, the students returned to their dormitories one after another, and Qin Huaishu prepared to check the dormitories.

Generally, after returning to the dormitory, students are busy washing up. Some diligent and studious students will seize the time to read more before lights out.

That night, Qin Huaishu walked around the boys' dormitory as usual and found nothing unusual. It was the same as usual.

At eleven o'clock, the lights in the dormitory were turned off, the students went to bed, and Qin Huaishu also returned to his dormitory.

After washing up and before going to bed, he made a video call with his wife Tang Meng and said that he would be able to go home in two days.

However, not long after he fell asleep, around twelve o'clock, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the boys' dormitory.

There were several students shouting for help, someone was committing suicide, etc.

Qin Huaishu immediately got up from the bed, without even having time to put on his clothes. He just put on a coat and hurried to the boys' dormitory.

He lived in the teachers' dormitory building, a separate old-style residential building next to the boys' dormitory.

Although it was very close, it was raining outside and the road was slippery. In addition, Qin Huaishu was in a hurry and did not pay attention to the slippery road under his feet when he ran past. He fell directly and felt a sharp pain in his ankle. The pain made his face change color.

But he didn't care about his injuries, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain to rush to the boys' dormitory.

The dormitory manager who lived in the dormitory also looked over after hearing the noise. When Qin Huaishu limped upstairs, he saw the dormitory manager coming down from upstairs.

Her face looked very bad, and she looked anxious and flustered. She was holding a cell phone in her hand, as if she was talking to someone.

Only when Qin Huaishu got closer did he finally hear what she said.

The dorm supervisor said, "Please send an ambulance quickly! A student is dying!"

When Qin Huaishu heard this, his heart sank. He didn't even have time to ask the dormitory manager what was going on. He could only endure the severe pain in his ankle and continue to climb up.

I finally reached the floor where the exclamation came from, and as soon as I got up, I saw a group of students gathered on the small balcony of the floor.

The small balcony is at the end of one side of the floor. It is not big and can only accommodate a few people standing. The door is usually closed.

However, at this moment, the door of the small balcony was opened, and a student was lying on the floor of the small balcony with his eyes closed and traces of some dark liquid and foam at the corners of his mouth.

The student had a large bottle of iodine next to him, and it was already empty.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huaishu immediately realized that the student must have drunk the bottle of iodine!

In fact, accidentally drinking a small amount of iodine tincture will not cause life-threatening danger. Iodine tincture has an irritating effect on the intestines. After drinking it, the intestines will be irritated and cause vomiting, thereby spitting out the iodine tincture.

However, if consumed in large quantities, there will be a risk of iodine poisoning. At this time, if you go to the hospital for timely treatment, there will not be much danger.

However, Qin Huaishu hurried to the student's side, felt his breath, pulse, and heartbeat, but found that he was really dead...

Finally, the police and medical staff arrived and announced that the classmate was dead on the spot.

As for the cause of death, it was indeed related to iodine, but it was not the iodine that killed him, but intermittent asphyxiation.

Judging from the fact that he was lying on the ground with vomit at the corner of his mouth, he must have fallen to the ground after falling unconscious due to iodine poisoning, and then choked on the vomit and suffocated.

After identification, it was confirmed that this was indeed the cause of the student's death.

Then they checked the corridor surveillance and found that the student secretly took a bottle of iodine to the small balcony after the lights were turned off, and then started to drink it.

After drinking, he waited for a while, took out his cell phone and seemed to be sending a message to someone, looking very irritable.

Perhaps he felt a little uncomfortable, so he started to vomit, but after vomiting a few times, he continued to drink.

After drinking for a while, he started looking at his phone again, and vomited again after a while.

After repeating this several times, he drank up a whole bottle of iodine.

The last time, his condition was obviously very bad. His head drooped several times, his eyes were dazed, and he seemed to be about to fall into a coma.

After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted on the ground.

Then he started vomiting, but because he was lying in the wrong position, he ended up inhaling the vomit, which blocked his airway and caused him to suffocate to death.

His death was clearly a voluntary act, that is, suicide.

Although the student's death was sad and regrettable, it had already happened, and Qin Huaishu and the school could only notify his parents immediately.

As to why the student did this, we will have to wait for further investigation.

Qin Huaishu had nothing to do with that student. He did not teach that student. He was a student in the class of the male colleague who was supposed to check the dormitories today. Qin Huaishu did not even know his name.

And when he checked the dormitory, the student didn't show any abnormality.

Perhaps his only relationship with the student was that he was the first person to touch him after his death.

But what he didn't expect was that just a few days after the student's death, he began to encounter some bad things.

First, I started having frequent nightmares at night.

In his nightmares, there was always a voice that harassed him viciously, saying that he would pay with his life.

After that, every time night fell and he was alone, he could always feel as if something beside him was staring at him coldly.

That cold feeling was as if there was a poisonous snake beside him waiting to take his life.

Qin Huaishu didn't really believe in ghosts and gods before, but during that period, he became increasingly nervous and depressed because of his frequent nightmares and the strange atmosphere around him at night.

It was the end of the semester at that time, and his ankle was injured that day. The doctor advised him to rest well and try not to walk.

But he had to consider that it was the end of the semester. If he took leave at this time, what would happen to the students' classes?

Unable to let go of his students and work, he had to continue teaching despite his injury, and relied on students to help him go up and down the stairs.

The student had the accident in the evening, so not many people knew about it. The school also persuaded the students who were watching the incident not to spread the news.

Therefore, people outside the school don’t know either.

As for the student's father, after he left the school, he cried and made a scene, demanding that the school be held responsible and compensate their son.

But later, the police retrieved the communication information on his mobile phone and found that he did not send any messages to anyone while drinking iodine, but was writing something in the memo.

It says things like "I will make you regret this" and "I will hold you responsible."

As for who should be made to regret and who should be held responsible, they asked the student's classmates, roommates, and teachers, but no one had any idea.

The resentment is so deep that he is willing to take revenge on the other party by ending his own life. It is obvious that the other party must have a deep grudge against him, or has done something extremely bad to him.

Otherwise, who would do such a thing over such a small matter?

However, during the subsequent investigation, the police found that he himself was more like a bully than other people who bullied the student.
