"Mr. Ye, are you going to the auction at Tiantong Trading Company tonight? I have an extra invitation here. If you're going, we can go together!" Bai Yuling said excitedly.
“I was planning to go. Lin Yifei told me last night that I would go with her. She also received an invitation from Tiantong Trading Company, so she doesn’t need your invitation,” Ye Feng replied.
"Oh, I see. Then see you at the auction tonight!" Bai Yuling said.
Just as Ye Feng was about to hang up the phone, Bai Yuling suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Ye, something strange has happened at our school."
"Strange thing? What strange thing?" Ye Feng looked puzzled.
“This afternoon, a girl in our school’s art museum suddenly committed suicide,” Bai Yuling replied.
Night Breeze paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Nowadays, people live fast-paced and stressful lives, leading to a surge in suicides.
Student suicides, while not normal, are certainly not uncommon.
"Were you close to that female college student who committed suicide?" Ye Feng asked.
"Not familiar with her." Bai Yuling shook her head.
"What does that have to do with you? Is it necessary to tell me such a trivial matter?" Ye Feng said with a smile.
Bai Yuling's voice became somewhat low, as if she were whispering.
"Mr. Ye, you don't know, that girl's suicide was very strange."
"What's strange about it?" Night Wind asked.
"Around noon, there were a lot of people in the art museum. That girl inexplicably walked up to a painting and then suddenly started scratching her neck with both hands!"
"She seemed oblivious to the pain, digging her nails into her neck and creating more than a dozen wounds, the blood staining her entire body red!"
"Moreover, the students and teachers around her tried to stop her, but they couldn't stop her at all. That girl was incredibly strong, and her hands were like iron claws!"
"She then collapsed and lost consciousness. An ambulance arrived and attempted resuscitation, but she lost too much blood and ultimately died..."
"And there's something even more outrageous: that girl hurt herself, and even after she lost consciousness, she had a smile on her face the whole time—it was incredibly creepy!"
"Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time. I saw the video in our school's group chat... Mr. Ye, I'll send it to you now."
Bai Yuling's words made Ye Feng frown.
A female college student inexplicably committed suicide in front of a painting in an art museum, and in a bizarre way, she scratched her neck with her fingernails while smiling throughout.
No matter how you look at it, it's really weird!
With a ding, Bai Yuling sent the video.
Ye Feng clicked on the video and watched it carefully.
This video was clearly taken by a student who was at the scene at the time using a mobile phone. The picture is not very clear, and the camera is shaking the whole time.
In the video, a female college student in a pink dress is seen scratching her neck repeatedly with her hands in front of an oil painting. Bright red blood appears to be gushing out from her neck and flowing down in streams!
The video is filled with men shouting and women screaming, and the scene is very chaotic!
The video ended after the female college student who committed suicide collapsed unconscious.
The entire video was only about three minutes long, but it made Ye Feng's expression turn serious.
"Have you finished watching the video, Mr. Ye?" Bai Yuling asked on the phone.
"I've finished reading it." Night Breeze nodded.
"Do you have any thoughts?" Bai Yuling asked again.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng said, "This matter is indeed very strange. I suspect that there is something strange about the painting, but I really can't see much from just a video."
"Would you like to come to our school?" Bai Yuling asked again.
"Tomorrow, I'll go there tomorrow," Ye Feng said.
Bai Yuling immediately said, "Mr. Ye, remember to come tonight."
"Why at night?" Night Breeze asked, puzzled.
Wouldn't it be better to go during the day?
Investigating such a bizarre case late at night—wouldn't that just make things more difficult for yourself?
Bai Yuling explained, "Mr. Ye, think about it. With such a big incident, the art museum is naturally closed, and the police have also set up a cordon around the scene to prevent people from the school from getting close. If we go during the day, we won't be able to get into the scene at all, so we have to wait until night when no one is around and sneak in."
"I see, then let's do it that way," Night Wind agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng put down his phone and fell into deep thought.
Could the mysterious death of this female college student be related to martial arts practitioners?
That's probably true in most cases!
Anyway, Ye Feng doesn't believe in any supernatural or ghostly things in this world.
Before I knew it, it was already past seven o'clock.
Lin Yifei had already gotten ready and came downstairs in a cream-colored long dress.
Wearing this evening gown, Lin Yifei looks like a socialite from the upper class, so elegant and noble.
But that was all; Ye Feng glanced at it once and then looked away.
"Mr. Ye, it's time for us to set off," Lin Yifei said with a smile.
“Yes, I’m ready too,” Night Breeze nodded.
Ye Feng got into Lin Yifei's Mercedes-Benz and headed towards the Tiantong Trading Company building.
Ten minutes later, Ye Feng and Lin Yifei arrived smoothly at the top floor of the Tiantong Trading Company building, which was the auction venue.
The auction starts at 7:30, and there are only a few minutes left before it begins.
"Mr. Ye, over here, over here!"
A woman's voice came from there. Ye Feng and Lin Yifei looked over and saw Bai Yuling, Bai Yurou, and Sun Lili sitting there.
“Our seats are over there too,” Lin Yifei said.
"Then let's go."
Ye Feng and Lin Yifei sat down next to Bai Yuling and the others.
"Mr. Ye, you're too late. The auction is about to start," Bai Yuling complained.
"Isn't that perfect?" Ye Feng laughed.
Then Ye Feng glanced at Sun Lili and asked, "You're here too?"
Sun Lili's expression suddenly turned resentful: "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that? Do you think that someone of my status is not worthy of attending this auction?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Night Wind shook his head with a smile.
But that's exactly what Ye Feng was thinking.
Because Sun Lili is not a rich heiress; her family background is very ordinary, at best just an ordinary person.
She certainly wasn't qualified to attend such a high-end auction.
The reason Sun Lili is able to sit here and attend the auction is most likely because Bai Yuling gave her an extra invitation.
But the night wind was wrong.
Bai Yuling chuckled and said, "Sun Lili is certainly qualified to participate in this auction; she has been invited."
