Chapter 250 Escape Room (14) - Catching the Murderer

Ning Shu was surprised when the other party said, "What could they possibly break?"

Moreover, as a teacher, he didn't care about the student's murder case, but instead cared about the desks and chairs?

This teacher's behavior is so different from that of a biology teacher.

Ning Shu felt that although the biology teacher's "performance" was exaggerated, it revealed his concern for the students.

Even though the other party might be the murderer, at least on the surface it's acceptable; this teacher doesn't pretend at all.

After speaking, the other person pushed a small cart full of books to a bookshelf and began to organize the books.

Ning Shu stared at the other person's back for a long time, then suddenly tiptoed to the counter where Teacher Wu had been sitting and went straight inside.

She felt there was something wrong with this teacher; it was just a gut feeling.

She wanted to see if there were any special clues in the counter, so she squatted down.

That way, even if the other person turns around, they'll think she's gone and won't see her inside the counter.

Ning Shu noticed several drawers in the counter. She quietly opened one of them and saw several books and a notebook inside.

She took out her notebook, opened it, and found the handwriting very familiar—it was Wang Xue's handwriting.

She paused for a moment, put it into her space, closed the drawer, and then opened the second drawer, which was full of books.

She closed one drawer, then opened the third, and so on, opening and closing four drawers from top to bottom.

In the bottom drawer, she found a piece of white cloth with an incomplete pattern on it.

This design looks familiar—it's the school emblem.

But what is the other party doing hiding a piece of cloth with the school emblem on it?

She put the fabric back into the space and was about to open another row of drawers next to it when a voice suddenly came from above.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Shu was startled and looked up to see Teacher Wu!

She paused for a moment, then immediately replied confidently, "I was looking for something. A button from my clothes just fell off and rolled here."

Teacher Wu looked at her coat suspiciously. It was a sweatshirt, so where did the buttons come from?

Ning Shu, as if offended, crossed her arms and scolded, "What are you looking at? It's the buttons on the clothes inside!"

It means: What, do you want me to take off my coat to show you?

Teacher Wu resumed her previous expressionless demeanor and said unhappily, "Get out of here immediately. This is not a place for you."

Ning Shu pretended to be unwilling to give up and glanced at the ground a couple more times before standing up: "Why shouldn't we be here? Can't we just search this place?"

Teacher Wu said coldly, "A search warrant is required to search any area outside the crime scene."

Wow, looks like someone who knows the law.

But why is it that they can search the table without any problems, but need a search warrant to search this side? Isn't that contradictory?

Ning Shu was kicked out, and when she turned around, she saw that Cheng Chuan was also looking in her direction at some point.

Ning Shu walked over: "Did you find anything?"

Cheng Chuan shook his head: "There are almost no clues."

After saying that, he approached Ning Shu and whispered, "I don't know if the wall here can be demolished."

Ning Shu immediately understood; it was just like a storage room, but she couldn't see that scary face yet.

She didn't really want to see it either.

Ning Shu lowered her voice: "I think that Teacher Wu is very suspicious. I found some things. Shall we go out and take a look?"

Cheng Chuan nodded decisively, and the two of them left the library with the mannequin and the box, finding a corner to start discussing.

Without saying a word, Ning Shu took out the notebook she had hidden, opened it, and the two of them looked at it together.

Flipping through the pages from the first one, most of the pages are academic notes, except for a few pages with things written on them that are not related to studying.

Judging from the handwriting, there are two people, seemingly having a conversation, but the order is a bit messy.

They organized it and arranged it in a reasonable order.

First dialogue:

Are you hungry? Let's go eat!

【good. 】

[Want to eat at the cafeteria? Together?]

"No, I don't like eating in the cafeteria, I'm going out to eat."

Okay, see you this afternoon.

Second dialogue segment:

I don't know how to do this problem, can you teach me?

【good. 】

Help me review physics; I have an exam next month.

Okay, tomorrow is Christmas, want to spend it together?

I'm going home tomorrow to have dinner with my parents.

Third dialogue:

I brought you some snacks, I left them on your desk.

【Thanks. 】

Ning Shu pointed to one of the handwritings: "This is Wang Xue's handwriting. It seems that the other person must be the boy mentioned in the diary."

Cheng Chuan paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "This boy is very cold. Can't Wang Xue tell? He might not even like her."

Ning Shu also fell silent, thinking of her past self.

When a girl falls into the illusion of being in love, she becomes blinded by it.

Wang Xue might have seen through it, she just didn't want to believe it.

Ning Shu: "Why did Teacher Wu keep this notebook hidden?"

Cheng Chuan: "He has ulterior motives, but it's unclear what exactly they are."

Ning Shu also took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Cheng Chuan: "Look at this, it looks like a school badge. Why did he hide a piece of cloth with a school badge on it?"

Cheng Chuan took the cloth and stroked it for a moment, then suddenly felt that the texture of the scraps of cloth was somewhat familiar: "This is a school uniform, do you remember? The school badge is on the left chest of the student uniform."

Secretary Ning got up; that's indeed the case.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her head: "Could this... be Wang Xue's school uniform?"

This teacher Wu has a lot of problems. He kept Wang Xue's notebook and her school uniform. Who would believe that he is not a suspect?

Cheng Chuan: "Very likely."

Ning Shu: "Does this count as evidence? Is he the murderer?"

Cheng Chuan: "Grab him first."

Ning Shu nodded, but when they returned to the library, the other party had already disappeared.

Who would believe he had nothing to hide! Ning Shu was convinced the other party was the murderer.

Cheng Chuan: "Let's put the evidence away first, then we'll go arrest him."

Ning Shu: "Okay."

After seeing Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan leave, Teacher Wu felt something was wrong, so he immediately opened the drawer and searched for them.

Sure enough, Wang Xue's notebook was gone, along with the piece of cloth.

He realized what was happening and immediately left the library; now it was time for him to escape.

Mr. Wu was fearless, knowing that the school would help him cover up the truth, and that the principal would definitely do so for the sake of the school's peace and order.

He fled haphazardly, considering it good news as long as he didn't hear the broadcast.

But he didn't hide for long before he was caught. He looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.

The loudspeaker didn't work!

For him, every time this happened, not only would there be a broadcast to help him escape, but there would also be people secretly helping him.

Why didn't it work this time? Does the principal no longer believe in the curse?

Ning Shu stared wide-eyed at the teacher in front of her and nudged Cheng Chuan with her elbow: "Is he scared out of his wits?"

Cheng Chuan: "Don't be careless."
