Chapter 239 Escape Room (3) - Inquiring about the Students
Ning Shu pointed to the books on the ground and asked the students behind her, "Classmate, are these your books?"
The student didn't even look up: "No, my books are all on my seat."
How cold-hearted! The students at this school aren't very friendly.
The classroom is arranged with one person per row, and students are only seated next to each other in front and behind, with aisles on both sides.
She wondered if any students in the other row would put their books on the floor in someone else's spot, so she asked the same question to the student in front of Wang Xue.
After receiving an affirmative answer that "neither of these apply," she began to flip through the books on the ground.
The book doesn't have names written on it, but there are stars drawn on page 109.
This must be Wang Xue's book. She tidied it up and tried to put it in the drawer; it fit perfectly.
She carried the books out and placed them on the chair.
She was certain that the books were originally in the drawer, but because the murderer was going to put the head in, he took some out and threw them on the floor.
She checked that part of the books as well, but found nothing new. So she took out the books from the drawer and did the same thing.
During this time, she was careful not to touch the bloodstains, worried about breaking some taboo, and made no new discoveries.
So few clues?! Are you kidding me? Ning Shu felt a heart attack coming on.
She saw Cheng Chuan asking the class monitor about Wang Xue, so she looked at the student next to Wang Xue.
"Hello, have you noticed anything unusual about Wang Xue lately?"
The students next to her didn't seem very willing to talk to her, so Ning Shu patiently asked again.
Add one more sentence: "If you don't cooperate, I will keep asking until you answer."
The student glanced at her and replied in a low voice, "She seemed to be in a bad mood before the incident. She was listless all day and would get extremely nervous at the slightest noise."
Wait a minute, she still doesn't know when Wang Xue's accident happened.
He asked, "When did Wang Xue have the accident? Who was the first to find her?"
Student: "Yesterday, she was fine when she left school yesterday, but when he came to school this morning, he found that Wang Xue had an accident."
The student next to Ning Shu pointed at the student who had just asked her a question.
Ning Shu noticed it was the student sitting behind Wang Xue. She looked at the student and asked, "How did you find out?"
The man looked at Ning Shu as if she were mentally challenged: "From my position, it's hard not to see me, isn't it?"
Ning Shu suddenly realized that he was sitting behind Wang Xue, and from his angle, he could see the drawers of Wang Xue's desk perfectly well.
That would be terrifying, and the bloodstains on the ground are quite obvious.
"Then what?"
Student: "I told the teacher, and the teacher called the police. A policeman came and took the head away, saying he put it in the teachers' office and was waiting for the criminal police to arrive."
Oh, so that means waiting for them to come. That's the background of the story. The system didn't explain it completely, so they have to ask for themselves.
Ning Shu frowned: "A murder has occurred here, why aren't you leaving? Why are you still studying in your seats?"
The student seemed unconcerned: "We are students in the elite class, so of course our priority is studying. Besides, some of our parents have come to the school."
Parents are here too? Is it that lively? Is this following normal procedures?
Ning Shu immediately dismissed the idea. What logic was there in the game? Even if he told her that the US president had come, it would probably still work.
Ning Shu continued, "She just said that Wang Xue wasn't in good spirits before her accident. Do you know why?"
The student shook his head: "She's always acting strangely and doesn't fit in with others. Who knows what's wrong with her?"
Ning Shu turned to look at the student who had just spoken, as if to say, "Do you know the reason?"
The other person felt her gaze, shook his head, and agreed with the other student's statement.
Wang Xue is quite aloof, which makes things difficult. Ning Shu felt a little uneasy.
She immediately thought of something else and asked, "Is there a boy she's been getting close to? Do you know who it is?"
Upon hearing this, for the first time, they showed an expression other than indifference, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Never heard of it."
"Never seen it before."
Ning Shu persisted: "Is there a girl she doesn't get along with?"
They continued to shake their heads.
"It seems she wants to transfer schools. Do you know why?"
They continued to shake their heads.
Do you know who killed her?
Although the question was a bit silly, she felt it was necessary to ask it.
The two students' mouths twitched noticeably, as if she were mentally disabled.
"...Do you know who is most likely the murderer?"
One of the students said discontentedly, "Isn't investigating cases the police's job? Why are you asking us? Don't disturb our studies."
Nothing can stop their enthusiasm for learning; they truly deserve to be the elite class of an elite school.
Ning Shu didn't ask any further questions, but she was curious how they knew Wang Xue's head was in the teachers' office.
Are the first police officers so careless?
She couldn't help but ask, "How did you know the head was in the teachers' office?"
The student pointed to the blackboard: "Isn't it written over there? It's strange that you didn't even look at the blackboard when you came in."
Ning Shu turned her head in shock.
Sure enough, in the upper right corner of the blackboard it read: "Officer, in order not to disturb the students' studies, I have brought the head to the teachers' office. Please come immediately."
The bottom right corner has a note indicating it was left by a certain police branch, with a special note saying "Do not erase."
This is... amazing! She didn't know what to say for a moment.
The police here are so cooperative! They really will do anything for students' studies.
The students even made a sarcastic remark about her, and she immediately shut up.
At this moment, Cheng Chuan seemed to have finished his questioning. He walked back and looked at Ning Shu: "Are you done searching?"
Ning Shu nodded: "Shall we talk about it another way?"
Cheng Chuan looked at the students behaving strangely in the classroom and also felt uncomfortable, so he agreed with her suggestion.
As soon as the two stepped out of the classroom, they saw Li Mengqi and Wu Yi coming towards them.
Ning Shu immediately went over and hugged Li Mengqi: "Sister Meng, I missed you so much! Where did you go?"
Li Mengqi laughed and said, "You've only been gone a short while and you already miss me so much. You really lie without thinking."
Ning Shu chuckled. Who wouldn't like to get close to a mature woman? They weren't familiar with each other before, but now that they are, how could they miss this opportunity?
Wu Yi's eyes lit up: "Xiao Ning, did you miss me too?"
Cheng Chuan glanced at Wu Yi, but Wu Yi didn't receive the glance.
Ning Shu held the soft, fragrant Li Mengqi in her arms and said to Wu Yi, "No."
Wu Yi's smile froze: "...Okay."
This Xiao Ning is no good; she's becoming more and more like someone who doesn't belong in the family.
She was the last one to join their team, and she's the youngest. Can't she have some self-awareness?
Cheng Chuan quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Escape room games, the key is the escape room itself.
So they were actually in a secret room divided into many small spaces, and the exit was the only way out.
