Chapter 3030 The Teacher Who Jumped from the Building
Ten minutes later, Tang Weining's phone lit up. It was Liang Wei's message: "Brother, how are you doing lately? Why are you suddenly going on a business trip?"
Tu Lanxun and Tang Weining looked at each other. The latter's expression seemed both sad and happy, with both grief and anger at the appearance of his evil enemy and relief that "fortunately it wasn't my brother."
Tang Weining replied with a few words, but Liang Wei was still concerned: "How is Peng'an doing recently? Do you see him often?"
She even said one thing after another: "I also plan to go to Fu City recently. I want to meet with my brother and talk alone. Is that okay? Please don't tell Tang Pengan."
Fu City is the city where Tang Weining pretended to be on a business trip. Geographically, it is very close to Liang Wei’s hometown.
Seeing Tu Lanxun's expression turn strange, and even forgetting that she was caught up in a strange case, Tang Weining hurriedly explained, "We're really fine. I don't know why she said that. Liang Wei and I weren't very familiar with each other before!"
Tu Lanxun pulled his thoughts back: "Don't you see? She wants to keep track of your movements and ensure that you stay under her watch after leaving Lucheng."
Tang Weining was horrified: "Yes! Liang Wei didn't let me tell Peng An. It's obvious that she wants to bypass Peng An and attack me!"
He even figured out the chain of interests: "After Chaochao and Xiaoju die, my family's money will belong to me. After I die, my family's money will belong to my brother. As long as one more of my brothers dies, all the money will fall into Liang Wei's hands..."
Tang Weining was so scared that he would have called Tang Pengan to rescue Fengchen if Tu Lanxun hadn't stopped him. But before he could finish being scared, news about Tang Pengan came one after another.
Tang Pengan: Brother, why didn't you tell me you were going on a business trip? Are you going alone? How about I go with you?
Tang Weining's face darkened. Could it be that this couple had committed the crime? He replied, "No need. Liang Wei hasn't come home yet. What will happen to Xiaoguang if you leave?"
Tang Pengan didn't care: Just take it with you, ask for leave from school, and just treat it as a trip to Fu City with us.
Now the score between the two couples was 1:1 again, and there was a high possibility that they were colluding with each other. Tu Lanxun made the decision: "Let's go and check out the school and Tang Pengan's house before daybreak."
It’s not that it’s easier to see ghosts at night. N sneered and said that was nonsense. It’s just that Tu Lanxun at least felt a little psychologically safe during the day, so he urged Tang Weining to go out.
They were going in and out of the villa area today. Tu Lanxun was wearing a mask. The guard looked at Tang Weining with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to throw him into a pig cage, as if he was a shame to all the loyal and infatuated men in the world.
When they arrived at the school, it was just time for school to be over. Both the streets inside and outside the Experimental Primary School were crowded with cars and parents. The retractable door of the campus happened to be open, so Tu Lanxun was led by Tang Weining and walked in among the parents entering the school.
Like most public places, the elementary school campus required facial recognition for entry and exit, so Tang Weining was no problem. Tu Lanxun borrowed N's light again and asked quietly, "How is it? Is there a sensor?"
N's body was pierced by the bouncing little beans one after another, and his face was not very good. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the main entrance of the teaching building - Tang Pengan was leading Tang Guangming out, and turned around to chat and laugh with a female teacher who was in her twenties or almost thirty.
Tang Weining said, "That's Xiaoguang's homeroom teacher. He graduated from a normal university. His last name is Liu and he has a doctorate!"
Looking over, Teacher Liu was already dealing with other parents, while Tang Pengan and Tang Guangming were walking side by side out of the schoolyard. Tang Weining said that Tang Guangming should have football club practice tonight, and if they hurried to Shangjingfu City now, they might be able to gain some time and investigate Tang Pengan's home before he returned from the other side of the city.
Before he could turn around, N suddenly stopped still, grabbed Tu Lanxun's sleeve with two fingers, and pointed back: "That's not right."
The person standing there was Teacher Liu, surrounded by several students and parents, and other classes were crowded together. Tu Lanxun asked, "What's wrong with Teacher Liu?"
"It's not her." N's eyes were sharp, and he smiled coldly, with a casual yet dangerous air. "It's the brown-haired one behind her."
School teachers are generally not allowed to perm or dye their hairstyles in exaggerated ways, and dark brown is already the limit, so the female teacher with a short brown curly ponytail behind Teacher Liu is very conspicuous in the crowd.
Tu Lanxun gave Tang Weining a puzzled look and asked, "Do you know that teacher?"
Tang Weining was confused: "Huh? There's only Teacher Liu there."
He couldn't see the teacher with the curly brown ponytail.
I saw the other person slowly turning his head from behind Teacher Liu, half of his face began to shatter from the corner of his forehead, and the white shirt with gourd sleeves on his body seemed to be stained with dust. The whole person was two shades grayer than the background, and his eyes were buried in two shadows.
It's a ghost.
Judging from the way it was dressed and the timing of its appearance, the brown-ponytailed ghost might have been a teacher at Experimental Primary School.
N walked directly into the teaching building. Tu Lanxun and the dizzy Tang Weining could only follow behind. Fortunately, the crowd was chaotic, and although they attracted some attention, they successfully mixed in.
Teacher Liu chased over and said, "Hey, Xiaoguang's father, are you going to the teaching building for something?"
She mistook Tang Weining for someone else, and her face showed the seriousness that homeroom teachers often showed to parents of higher social status.
Tu Lanxun immediately pretended not to know him. As they passed by, her voice slipped out from under her mask: "Lie, get rid of her."
Tang Weining didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he smiled and said, "Oh, I suddenly want to use the toilet, is it convenient for me?
"It's convenient. The bathroom on the first floor has just been cleaned by the auntie. Please go to the floor where my office is." Teacher Liu enthusiastically showed Tang Weining the way and went upstairs together. Tang Weining had no choice but to continue acting.
N suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to Tang Weining. N said something, but the latter's back shuddered and his face turned pale.
Fortunately, he wasn't stupid enough to yell out. Tu Lanxun was hanging not far away, and he heard him tremblingly say, "Um, Teacher Liu, has there been any accidents in our school? Ah, I think Xiaoguang hasn't slept well these past two days, and he's been mumbling some weird things."
Teacher Liu was also young and was surprised by the question, but he quickly laughed and said, "How is that possible? Xiaoguang's father, our school has a strict school spirit and students rarely fight. Besides, it's an elementary school, so there's no pressure to get into higher education. Of course, there won't be any accidents."
Tang Weining lowered his eyes and paused, then continued, "Then...what if it wasn't a student, but a teacher?"
Teacher Liu had a strange expression on her face, as if her impression of "Tang Pengan" had changed. However, she quickly remembered something else, overcoming her previous displeasure. "Well... I did hear about a teacher's suicide, but it happened six years ago, before I even started working there."
After saying that, Teacher Liu looked around vigilantly, then stared at Tang Weining, feeling a little regretful for being so polite to someone he had just met.
Tang Weining didn't know how to continue asking. He didn't see N come up behind Teacher Liu and snap his fingers behind her head. Teacher Liu's eyes became hazy. "Ah, what did you ask just now? I didn't hear clearly. Please say it again."
"Can you talk about the case of the Experimental Primary School teacher who committed suicide six years ago?"
Teacher Liu looked dreamy, his face filled with gossipy excitement. "Oh, yes, six years ago, a young female teacher committed suicide. I don't know her name, but she taught Chinese. She jumped from the roof of the teaching building. She was unlucky and hit her neck."
Tang Weining saw Tu Lanxun pointing at her hair and collar and asked, "What's her hairstyle and clothes like?"
"I've seen photos of her with a brown ponytail. She looks pretty good... I don't know about her clothes, but they're probably the same ones teachers usually wear."
Tang Weining was inspired: "Do you know why she died?"
"I heard she was having an affair...it's an old term. Anyway, there were some rumors at the time. Some people even said she was pregnant..." Teacher Liu's misty eyes suddenly cleared up. She looked at Tang Weining in surprise and said in panic, "...what was I saying just now?"
Tang Weining was also not calm, and smiled: "I didn't pay attention, maybe you were distracted, Teacher Liu."
When they reached the third floor, Teacher Liu didn't try to keep Tang Weining. He pointed in the direction of the bathroom and hurried to the office like a ghost.
Tu Lanxun stood on the last step. One more step would take her out of the sunlight and into the shadows. Her heart pounded as she typed on her phone: "What happened to that ghost just now? It ran away when it saw you. Could it be 10110101?"
Tang Weining asked her at the same time: "I feel there is a ghost nearby! Miss, is it with you or that master... You are not in cahoots with the master, are you?" He took a step back.
No, 10110101 is a ghost in human skin, and the teacher with brown ponytail is a pure soul. But why would she follow Teacher Liu?
Tu Lanxun remembered something and his eyes widened: "What is the relationship between Teacher Liu and Uncle Liu Maosheng?"
N's eyes were cold: "She is Uncle Liu's daughter."
So they rushed into the school, which had nothing to do with Tang Weining's case at all, and was entirely out of personal friendship. Although it was worth it, Tang Pengan missed the time difference to go home.
After walking around the teaching building, the brown horsetail may have been afraid of N and never showed its head again, and Bai Chao's traces were unfortunately covered up - the whole school was filled with the deathly aura of the brown horsetail, and even if the item that Bai Chao's soul was taken away was here, the imperceptible breath would be completely covered up.
Tang Weining sat at the door of the classroom where Bai Xiaoju had last taught, buried his head between his knees, and sighed deeply.
The empty school in the evening, with the yellowish and transparent afterglow of the setting sun, always gives people a feeling of melancholy.
Teacher Liu was passing by on the way downstairs. After hesitating for two seconds, he gave Tu Lanxun a strange look. Then he spoke to "Tang Pengan": "Xiaoguang's father, what's wrong with you? Did Xiaoguang leave something in the classroom?"
They were shocked to realize that Tang Guangming's classroom this semester was the same one Bai Xiaoju used to use.
"I'm looking for something. There's a bag that should be..." Tang Weining said casually.
Teacher Liu's enthusiasm returned. "Don't you remember? Xiaoguang's bag in the closet was taken away by Xiaoguang's mother. She came here a few months ago."
"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. It's okay. I'll go back and ask."
Tang Weining actually walked around Tang Guangming's cabinet. N followed behind, stood in front of the empty cabinet door for a full five seconds, and then turned around: "It's here, but the things have been taken away, and the remaining air is very weak."
Tu Lanxun couldn't help but start calculating the cost. If Tang Peng'an's family didn't find out, he would probably have to buy a ticket to go to another city to find Liang Wei.
