Chapter 12

Someone died in school, which is undoubtedly a very serious matter.

After hearing Jiang Tianming's judgment, a boy who had come over to see the excitement turned pale, and then asked suspiciously: "Are you sure? Don't be talking nonsense!"

Jiang Tianming had not only seen dead people, but also killed people himself, so he was not wrong. He ignored the man and looked up at the teacher who had rushed in because he saw something unusual here: "Teacher, someone has died. Do we need to temporarily close the cafeteria?"

Unexpectedly, he was so calm that the teacher was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and shouted into the speaker hanging on his chest: "Now all students please stay where you are!"

As he spoke, he quickly checked the condition of the deceased. After confirming that the person was indeed dead, he snapped his fingers and closed the cafeteria door.

Then, with a grim expression, he contacted his superior via the intercom and explained what happened in the cafeteria.

The canteen was in an uproar. No one had expected something like this to happen. The timid ones were already starting to get anxious, while the brave ones were discussing this major event with each other.

Wu Mingbai quietly tugged at the corners of Jiang Tianming and Lan Subing's clothes and raised his chin in one direction: "Look over there."

The other two looked over and saw Su Bei sitting there, eating leisurely, as if nothing that happened in the cafeteria disturbed him.

The three of them all thought of what Su Bei had said before about "watching the play". Now it was just as he said. The three of them were performing on the stage, while the other party was watching the play in the audience.

"Why don't I call him over here?" Wu Mingbai said maliciously, "He must know something anyway."

Having been partners for so long, Jiang Tianming was well aware of his evil intentions. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "No, if I call him now, I will completely offend him. To offend someone like that... you'd better not commit suicide."

Lan Subing nodded in agreement, took out her phone and started typing: "Let's go ask him later. Remind someone that I still have your meal card. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wu Mingbai curled his lips, but he also knew that his companions were right. Su Bei was most likely not the murderer, and there was no point in exposing him.

"I know, I know! I won't expose him."

At this time, the teacher had finished reporting the situation and came back to ask them for details. In fact, what happened just now was very simple. Wu Mingbai wanted to go to the toilet, but because the other side was blocked, he gently pushed the deceased to wake him up and make room for him. Who knew that the deceased would fall to the side after this push, and then a girl passing by screamed, and what happened next became known to everyone.

Wu knew without a doubt that this was an unprovoked disaster. Logically speaking, this incident had nothing to do with anyone else, and the school should be left to investigate.

However, Su Bei knew very well that for the development of the plot, there must be some reason that forced the three protagonists to investigate the truth.

Soon the school sent someone over. It was a beautiful female teacher. Without saying anything, she quickly threw out a tent and went in.

The previous teacher asked everyone to line up and enter the tent one by one.

After he finished conducting, he saw that everyone looked a little worried, so he explained considerately: "Teacher Zhou's ability can help you clear your suspicion. If there is no problem after entering, you can leave the cafeteria first."

After all, there are more than 50 students in the cafeteria now, and it’s not a good idea to keep them all so sleepy.

When they heard they could leave, everyone immediately quieted down and lined up obediently. They knew they hadn't killed anyone, so they didn't feel guilty. If they could easily clear themselves of suspicion, that would be great.

The first student walked in and came out in just five minutes. After coming out, he did not answer any questions asked by others, and left the cafeteria directly under the guidance of the assistant teacher.

His appearance made the students, who were not worried at first, become a little nervous, wondering what had happened in the tent.

Su Bei was standing at the front of the line. He knew that the comics would be updated tomorrow, and he could use the comics to see what happened during this period, so he didn't plan to waste time in the cafeteria.

After his turn, he walked in boldly. Teacher Zhou sat behind the desk and said coldly, "Answer me a few questions. If your answers are ok, you can leave."

"Did you kill Sun Ming?" The deceased's name was Sun Ming.

"No." Su Bei shook his head. Although the deceased died because of his change in fate, he was definitely not the one who killed him.

At this time, he also understood Teacher Zhou's ability, which should be a lie detector.

"Do you have any special relationship with Sun Ming, such as kinship, friendship, enemy, etc."

"We are not relatives, nor friends, nor enemies. We have never even met each other before." Su Bei answered, paused, and shrugged, "As for the relationship, if I have to say, we have a common enemy, and that is this world."

Originally he only intended to answer the first half of the question, but after answering, he felt that his mouth could not close.

It was obvious that this was Teacher Zhou's supernatural power at work, because he did not give a clear answer to the other party's question just now: "Do you have any special relationship with Sun Ming?"

This ability can not only detect lies, but also force the other party to give an answer and not talk about other things.

Su Bei couldn't say that he and Sun Ming had no relationship, because he knew that they were related, that is, they both had the identity of cannon fodder who died at the beginning of the comic.

His original idea of ​​using the Spring and Autumn style of writing to skip this answer was killed by his supernatural power, but fortunately he had prepared a plan B, which allowed him to successfully overcome the crisis.

"Answer the question seriously." Teacher Zhou frowned and glanced at the blond boy in front of him, secretly surprised in his heart.

She is well aware of her special powers, and the answers she gives under the influence of her special powers are definitely true and are what the other person really thinks.

In other words, the handsome and sunny boy in front of him believed that he and the deceased had a common enemy, the "world".

Is he actually pessimistic?

But now is obviously not the time to care about the students' mental health. She looked away and continued to ask: "Do you know anyone who has a bad relationship with Sun Ming?"

"have no idea."

After asking a few questions, Teacher Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, you can leave now. Please don't tell the students outside what we just talked about. After you leave, don't tell other students what happened in the cafeteria."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, teacher." Su Bei bowed slightly and turned to leave the tent. When he walked outside, he saw the three protagonists standing in line and staring at him. He smiled and winked at them, then left the cafeteria and went back to the dormitory.

Wu Mingbai's expression was not very good, but he still had a bright and sunny smile on his face: "Wow, it's a provocation, it's definitely a provocation!"

Jiang Tianming beside him said thoughtfully: "He left so easily, so it seems that this matter was not planned by him. At most, he knew something in advance because of his supernatural powers."

It is undoubtedly good news for them that the other party is not involved in this matter. A person who watches a play is always safer than a person who performs the play.

Understanding what he meant, Wu nodded, but didn't care too much: "After all, this matter has nothing to do with us. You can't put the blame on me just because I touched the dead."

They didn't kill the person, and the deceased had nothing to do with them. So in his opinion, no matter what Su Bei knew, it didn't matter.

However, Jiang Tianming looked complicated when he heard his words. He looked in the direction where Su Bei left and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that things won't end so easily."

If it was really that simple, why would they even need to participate in this scene? It's impossible that Su Bei just wanted to watch them find a dead body, something so meaningless.

Wu Mingbai also felt that something was not right about his ominous premonition, but he could not figure out what the problem was, so he could only give up for the time being.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Lan Subing: "Subing, why don't you say anything?"

As he was talking, he walked in front of the other party and saw Lan Subing looking at the direction of the gate with a slightly red face: "He is quite handsome."

Jiang Tianming: “…”

Wu understood: "..."

Meanwhile, Su Bei had already returned to the dormitory. There were many people in the corridor, all of whom had come out to get information after knowing what had happened in the cafeteria.

When they saw Su Bei coming in, several people looked over curiously, eager to get some information from him.

"Hey man! Are you back from the cafeteria?" A handsome red-haired boy approached me in a familiar manner, looked around in a silly and alert manner, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that someone died in the cafeteria."

Seeing the boys around him secretly raising their ears when they heard what he said, Su Bei felt that this guy was being cautious. However, he still looked the red-haired boy up and down, and asked instead of answering, "Where did you hear that?"

"Uh..." The boy was speechless and blinked, but soon gave an unnatural explanation, "I saw that the cafeteria was blocked, so I asked at the door. But before I could find out anything specific, the teacher sent me back."

Apparently he was not very good at lying. It was normal for him to know something big had happened inside the cafeteria when it was closed, but it was very abnormal for him to know specifically that someone had died inside.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Su Bei did not show it on his face. He seemed to believe this explanation. He smiled and raised his hand to make a zipper motion in front of his mouth: "The teacher didn't let us tell anyone."

"Is that so? I understand." The red-haired boy was a little disappointed, but he didn't insist and just left.

The moment he turned his head, Su Bei's gaze suddenly fixed and his eyes widened involuntarily.

Because he is a head taller than the boy, from this angle you can clearly see a black lightning mark on the side of the red-haired boy's neck, which is blocked by his collar.

Lightning was exactly one of the images he associated with the four gears.

Could it be that this student and the murderer were in cahoots?

Before Su Bei could control his expression, the red-haired boy suddenly turned around and stared at him with a blank expression on his face, which had been sunny and cheerful just now. "What are you looking at?"
