I shook my head noncommittally. My guess was undoubtedly wrong. So, what was certain was that someone else was definitely present at the time, and that person might have been a martial arts master with incredible finger strength...
I asked Zhang Shaoqi, besides Liao Zhiyuan and the Wang brothers, were there any other people there at that time?
Zhang Shaoqi said innocently, "Me."
I slapped my forehead. Damn it, how can you not tease me? I calmed down and asked, "Besides you guys, is there anyone else?"
Zhang Shaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Cheng Qian."
Cheng Qian?
I frowned. When the incident happened, Cheng Qian should have been talking to me at the building entrance, right? I still remember her smiling and asking me to go upstairs with her for a couple of drinks...
So no matter how you think about it, Cheng Qian couldn't have appeared on the roof at that time, unless Cheng Qian could clone herself... But that's too ridiculous, it's impossible to even think about it. But now Zhang Shaoqi said that Cheng Qian was there at the time, this...
Well, even if Cheng Qian was present, she was just an ordinary woman, and it would be fine for her to fight with Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei, but don’t tell me the claw marks on the ground were left by her?
No matter how I think about it, I can't completely believe that Cheng Qian was responsible. But one thing reminds me: Zhang Longming told me about the gold necklace. It seems the students who died all had gold necklaces before they died, and Cheng Qian was looking for the gold necklace that night...
If this is true, then the possibility that Cheng Qian committed murder is the highest.
I followed Zhang Shaoqi back to the 36th floor. It was almost time for class, and Cheng Qian was already there. She asked me why Zhang Longming wasn't here today, and I said yes, I was alone, and didn't mention Zhang Longming's disappearance.
Then I asked her out again so we could find a place to talk when we had time. Cheng Qian's eyes narrowed, and she puffed out her chest seductively, smiling, "You finally can't resist asking me out?"
My face was filled with black lines. This girl is simply trying to seduce me! But I was very calm, nodded, and asked her when she would be free. She said that today, Sunday, the tutoring class was only in the morning, so she would be free in the afternoon.
I asked her to meet me at a coffee shop at 2 p.m., but she said she didn't like coffee and suggested we go to a hotel. I rolled my eyes. She had to be trying to seduce me! She had to be!
I said yes!
Never mind, let’s make an appointment first! If things don’t go right, I’ll just run away!
It was still early, so I took advantage of the morning to leave the building and head to Jiangzhou No. 1 High School. However, since it was the weekend and the school was closed, I didn't see a single teacher. I had originally wanted to ask a few teachers about Zhang Longming's whereabouts, but it seemed like that was out of the question.
I inquired with the security guard, who told me that Zhang Longming couldn't be contacted, but he had a list of names and addresses of the deceased students. I copied them by hand and first found the home of a student named Shang. His father, Shang Haiyu, was a factory technician and was home on weekend leave. His family had always been well-off and harmonious, so perhaps even he didn't know anything like this would happen.
I asked him, "Did Shang bring back a gold necklace before he died?"
Shang Haiyu said in surprise: "Yes, how did you know?"
I licked my lips and asked him, "Where did the gold necklace go after that?"
Shang Haiyu shook his head and said he didn't know. Since Shang died, the gold necklace also disappeared.
After leaving the Shang family, I followed the address to the Liang family. Liang's father, Liang Xinxi, was a chef at a large hotel. He happened to be at home on his day off. I explained the situation to him and then asked him if Liang had found a gold necklace before he died.
Liang Xinxi asked me in surprise, "I've kept this a secret. How did you know?"
I smiled mysteriously and didn't answer him. Instead, I asked, "Did the gold necklace disappear with Liang's death?"
Liang Xinxi showed a shocked expression again, and almost gave me an expression of admiration.
Afterwards, I visited several families on the death list and asked the same question. Their answers were almost identical! This also made one thing clear to me: just as Zhang Longming said, the students who died had all found a gold necklace, and it was with the appearance of the gold necklace that they died one after another in bizarre deaths...
Now that I have these answers, I can go back to find Cheng Qian!
Looking at the time, it was past 12 noon. I ate a bowl of ramen at a nearby ramen restaurant and took a rest. Around one o'clock, I put on the gold necklace and went straight to the hotel where I had agreed to meet Cheng Qian!
