Shen Heng packed his things and went to the teachers' college where Yu Wenli was studying.
He looked at the stone tablet of Zhuzhou Normal School with some contempt. How could someone like Yu Wenli be fit to be a teacher? He would rather get rid of such a person as soon as possible, which would be doing a good deed for the people.
It was time for everyone to rest, so Shen Heng waited for a while at the dormitory entrance. When he saw someone returning late, he called him over: "Hey, classmate."
The person who was called turned his head and thought he had encountered a ghost in the middle of the night. It was not easy to encounter a tall person who was 1.9 meters tall on ordinary days, let alone in the middle of the night. He was startled and dared not go over, but he also dared not move.
"Come here, do me a favor."
Shen Heng walked to the dormitory entrance and asked for a place with light. The person saw Shen Heng's face clearly, but was still afraid. However, he mustered up his courage and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Help me go in and check each dormitory door to see which dormitory Yu Wenli is in. Call him down and there's money to be had."
Shen Heng took out five yuan, which was enough for a poor student to cover his living expenses for half a month.
Prices in Zhuzhou are getting higher and higher. While the income of working professionals is increasing, life is becoming increasingly difficult for students.
Looking at the five yuan, the student gritted his teeth, reached out and took it, saying, "You wait here."
"The 'wen' in 'Chinese language' and the 'li' in 'politeness'. You're a junior this year, one of the first batch to take the college entrance exam. Don't get the wrong person."
This person thought that Yu Wenli must have messed with someone he shouldn't have. This person looked like a thug, but he was generous. If he didn't provoke him, this person probably wouldn't do anything to him.
Moreover, he dared not refuse, fearing that this thug would come after him again.
He went from floor to floor to look at the names written on the doors. Fortunately, only the north side of Building 3 had dormitories, and the south side was a railing. He could see clearly in the dark, and there were few dormitories. He quickly found Yu Wenli's dormitory.
The dormitory building was quiet now. He swallowed hard before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" came an impatient voice from inside. "Yu Wenli, aren't you taking the keys?"
The sound of shuffling shoes came from inside. The person inside opened the door, saw a stranger, and became wary: "What are you doing here? Why are you knocking on our door?"
"I'm looking for Yu Wenli."
"Yu Wenli isn't here, let's go!"
After Yu Wenli's roommate finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
The student hadn't originally intended to go back and ask Shen Heng for the remaining money, because he was afraid of Shen Heng and also afraid that Shen Heng would take the five yuan away again.
But he was afraid that Shen Heng would wait in vain and then come after him to vent his anger.
So, steeling himself, he went back and told Shen Heng that Yu Wenli hadn't returned to the dormitory yet.
"Alright, you can go now."
Shen Heng didn't ask him for the five yuan again, but sat down on a bench at the entrance of the dormitory.
Damn it, if he had known he was going to be feeding mosquitoes here, he would have worn long pants.
Yu Wenli never goes home, and he doesn't even return to his dorm late at night. Where could he possibly go?
Shen Heng sat on the bench all night waiting, but instead of seeing Yu Wenli, he was greeted by a group of police officers from the local police station.
He was upright and had nothing to fear, but it was almost dawn, and he had to go back to catch the carriage with Wang Fushun.
He was unlucky this time; he came up empty-handed.
But his departure caught the attention of the police station.
"Hey, wait a minute."
"Hey you, big guy, stop right there!"
Shen Heng was called down. He frowned and said, "What do you want? I'm not a student here."
"What are you doing here if you're not a student here?"
"Find someone from your hometown."
"take away!"
Seeing Shen Heng's demeanor, the police squad leader immediately regarded him as one of the criminal suspects.
Zhuzhou is getting more and more chaotic. Not only are the docks and markets in disarray, but now there's even a murder in a school.
They initially believed that the murderer this time should be an adult male, and Shen Heng ran away as soon as he saw them, which was too suspicious.
Shen Heng was covered in filth, but since he was dealing with the police, he didn't want to cause trouble: "Could I make a phone call first?"
He's going to miss the train.
"What are you doing making that call? Xiao Chen, you come and take responsibility!"
Officer Chen looked at Chen Heng, who was a head taller and twice as thick as him, choked for a moment, and said, "Comrade, you'd better cooperate with our investigation."
"Hurry up, I need to catch my train this morning."
Shen Heng sat at the dormitory entrance all night, doing nothing and seeing nothing. He thought that if these people wanted to question him, cooperating with the investigation wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
When the police captain heard that Shen Heng was about to take a train to escape, he became even more suspicious of him.
Shen Heng was led aside, and Officer Chen asked, "Where are you from, and who are you looking for?"
“I’m from Huang Province. There used to be a sent-down youth in our village who went to school here. I met him the other day and thought I’d come over to catch up with him.”
"Where is everyone else? Why are you the only one waiting here before dawn?"
“I sent someone up to look for him, but he still hasn’t returned to his dorm.”
What's his name?
"Yu Wenli."
"What are you yelling for?!"
“Yu-Wen-Li”
"Captain! This man is looking for Yu Wenli! Let's take him back to the station!"
Officer Chen thought to himself, "It's my captain who has the experience to catch criminals right at the door."
"What's wrong with me looking for Yu Wenli?" Shen Heng thought to himself, what kind of trouble has Yu Wenli gotten himself into this time? He's really messed up.
"What's wrong? Stop pretending. Don't you know Yu Wenli is dead?"
"Dead?!"
Shen Heng glared at him: "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't look for him yesterday; I sat here all night."
Shen Heng's eyes looked like he wanted to devour someone on the spot. Officer Chen shouted, "Prepare for bomb disposal!"
Shen Heng: "..."
