Chapter 304 Wutong Academy
"How do you know where the person who dug out the heart is?" Jiang Jingyan blurted out subconsciously. Didn't he just see the body? Could it be that a ghost did it?
She is a ghost, so she can sense it.
Jinxiu looked at him and said playfully, "Because I'm awesome."
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
Yes, yes, you are awesome!
Jiang Yunxi felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that as she had guessed, Jinxiu already knew that she was a point of the formation. After looking at the corpses, she knew that it was another point of the formation who dug out the hearts of these people.
…
Wutong Academy.
When the gatekeeper saw Zhang Zhiyu, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Master Zhang."
"We are here to investigate the death of Song Ze some time ago. Go and call the dean out." Zhang Zhiyu said coldly. He regretted it now. He regretted that he turned a blind eye.
Originally thinking that this was a remote town, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, let alone report it to the county. Besides, similar incidents had occurred in other places, and they were all settled down as quickly as possible.
But he never expected that one day the noble King Han and the Sixth Prince would come here.
When the gatekeeper heard this, he hurried in to report.
A while ago, a student went missing and was dead when he was found. The academy told the public that he fell off a cliff on the back mountain and died, and also told the same thing to Song Ze's parents.
Song Ze's parents said that he definitely did not die from falling off the cliff, and they insisted on seeking justice, and finally reported it to the police.
The county magistrate sent someone to examine the case and said that the boy had fallen to death, which was why there were so many scars on his body. The case was closed like this, but within two days, Song Ze's parents died at home. It was said that they could not bear the pain of losing their son and committed suicide.
I thought the matter was over, but something strange happened again these days.
Several students at Wutong College had their hearts brutally dug out for unknown reasons. Last night, another student died from having his heart dug out in the academy, and the murderer has not been found yet.
This caused panic among the people in the academy.
The dean is planning to give everyone a holiday tomorrow and let the students go back to their homes, otherwise the college will not be able to afford the cost of so many students dying.
Sun Hanwen is talking to the teachers in the academy and is planning to give everyone a holiday tomorrow. They will resume teaching when the murderer is found. Otherwise, they won't be able to attend classes properly because students' families will come to make trouble every day.
"Dean Sun, the county magistrate is here and wants to investigate Song Ze's death. He wants you to get out immediately." The gatekeeper reported quickly.
Sun Hanwen quickly stood up and walked outside, his heart tightening. Wasn't Song Ze's case closed? Why was there still a need to investigate?
Other teachers followed suit.
"Greetings, County Magistrate." Sun Hanwen bowed with both hands.
"Dean Sun, this is Prince Han, and this is the Sixth Prince. They are here to investigate the death of Song Ze." Zhang Zhiyu said seriously. How could he suppress the situation quietly?
When the coroner first performed the autopsy, he said that Song Ze was tortured and buried alive, which led to his death, but Sun Hanwen found him, gave him a big gift, and asked him to help settle the matter.
He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he told everyone that Song Ze had gone to the back mountain and slipped and fell off a cliff and died.
"Your humble servant greets King Han, the Sixth Prince." Sun Hanwen was shocked and his face turned pale. He didn't expect that Song Ze's affairs would spread to the capital.
Song Ze's parents are both dead, who would go to the capital to file a complaint?
"How did Song Ze die?" Zhan Beiyuan went straight to the point without wasting any words.
“He, he…”
"I'm here in person, so you'd better tell me the truth. Otherwise, if I find out the truth, I'll kill your entire clan!" Zhan Beiyuan looked at Sun Hanwen with sharp eyes, and there was an intimidating majesty around him.
Sun Hanwen was really scared when he heard the words "punish all nine clans". He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said, "King Han, I, Song, Song Ze... When we found him, he was buried in the pit and was already dead."
"I didn't want this to become a big deal, so I went to the county magistrate and asked him to help quickly resolve the matter and announce to the public that he fell off a cliff and died."
"How did he die?" Zhan Beiyuan said in a deep voice.
"I, I don't know either..." Sun Hanwen said with his head down. Because the county magistrate agreed to help, they did not go to investigate the truth, but in fact they all had guesses in their hearts.
Jiang Yunxi sneered, "It was the students from your academy who worked together to kill him. Dean Sun knew about it, but he just didn't want to investigate further. Anyway, the matter is over, there's no need to meddle in it anymore."
"I, I really think so." Sun Hanwen had to admit that he could no longer hide. He had made a big mistake, but the fault was his and he could not implicate his family.
"Let me guess again. The students whose hearts were dug out recently in Wutong Academy were all involved in the murder of Song Ze. I heard that another student's heart was dug out in the academy last night. I believe there will be another one tonight..." Jiang Yunxi stopped talking.
Sun Hanwen and others' expressions changed when they heard this. In fact, they also had this guess.
But Song Ze is dead, his parents are dead too, and there is no one else in the family. Who will avenge him?
"There were indeed several students who bullied Song Ze in the past, and the person who died this time was one of them..." Sun Hanwen did not dare to hide it.
"I guess they not only bullied Song Ze, but also other students. As the dean of the academy, why didn't you stop them!" Jiang Yunxi said angrily with a frosty face.
"We wanted to stop it. We've disciplined and punished those who deserved it. We've even told their families, but they still insist on doing what they want. And since nothing serious has happened, we can't do anything to them. Who knows what will happen next..."
Sun Hanwen's face was full of regret as he spoke the last part. They really had no way to deal with those students. These students' families had contributed money to build Wutong Academy and were still donating money.
"How did Song Ze's parents die?" Jiang Yunxi asked coldly. The couple must have been murdered. They wanted to seek justice for their son, so how could they commit suicide?
A family of three is gone just like that. Whoever killed Song Ze deserves to die!
"I, I don't know, I really don't know..." Sun Hanwen raised his head and said frankly that he really didn't know.
"How many of the students who participated in the bullying are still alive?" Jiang Yunxi had a guess in his mind.
"two……"
"where are they?"
"In the dormitory of the academy." Sun Hanwen said quickly.
"Take us to find them." Jiang Yunxi said. The two men could not die yet. They had to tell the truth about the murder of Song Ze so that the world would know what happened.
Sun Hanwen nodded repeatedly and led them towards the dormitory area of the academy.
…
In a men's dormitory.
"You can't sleep tonight. You must stay with us and light more candles." Qin Haochen said to the other six teenagers. He didn't believe that there would be any ghosts who dared to come in such a bright room.
Some time ago, they tortured Song Ze and buried him alive. In the past few days, several people who did the same thing with them had their hearts dug out. He felt that it must be Song Ze's ghost coming to claim his life.
