Chapter 1080 - She Actually Saw the Murderer (1/2)

Neither of the two boys had a pleasant look on their faces.

Helian Weiwei didn’t care about what they thought and looked at Guo Tingting. “That’s all you saw?”

“Yes.” When Guo Tingting answered her, she didn’t look into Helian Weiwei’s eyes.

Helian Weiwei paused. “If I were you, I would choose to tell the truth now.”

Guo Tingting was a bit uneasy. “Can you guarantee that the murderer won’t kill me?”

“Of course.” Helian Weiwei smiled. “And I will know who he is very soon.”

Guo Tingting hesitated, then she said, “I had really fallen asleep, but because I didn’t close the window, I woke up from being bitten by mosquitoes. I was about to get up to get mosquito repellent when I heard the sound of something heavy falling from across the room. I looked up and saw a figure standing on the rooftop and this person seemed to be looking downwards.”

“In other words, you saw Dong Sichun’s murderer?” Helian Weiwei’s eyes narrowed. “Why didn’t you tell the police about such an important matter?”

Guo Tingting hurriedly explained, “They didn’t ask me about these things at all. Moreover, the school clearly wanted to suppress this matter. I wasn’t sure if Dong Sichun had committed suicide or if she had been killed either. Surely I couldn’t simply say such things, right?”

“None of these things are the main point, right?” Helian Weiwei’s voice was very indifferent. “You didn’t say it because you didn’t like Dong Sichun in the first place. In addition, there was only half a year before you would graduate. You didn’t want to get into any trouble because of this matter.”

Guo Tingting paused for a moment and her entire face flushed red. “I really didn’t like her. She was just a s.l.u.t, so why should I take the risk to speak up for her?”

“Alright, then let me ask you another question. Since you didn’t tell the police about this matter, who did you tell?” Helian Weiwei hit the nail on the head. After all, this was the key to determining the murderer this time.

Guo Tingting shook her head and her face was filled with confusion. “I’m the only one who knows about this.”

“Think about it carefully, have you unintentionally revealed it before?” Helian Weiwei tried to jolt Guo Tingting’s memory. “Particularly during the recent months?”

Guo Tingting shook her head again, but then she suddenly seemed to have thought of something. “I have a habit of writing short stories, so I wrote this as part of a short story and posted it on my social media. Only my friends can see these stories. Is there a problem? I changed all the names and I didn’t even mention the time nor place.”

“If the killer saw it, then there’s a problem.” Helian Weiwei’s voice remained quiet. “If I’m not wrong, the police must have asked you many times if you saw anything on the rooftop that night. After all, your hostel block is very near to the building she jumped down from, and your curtains were drawn. If you weren’t in deep sleep, you would definitely have seen something. The police asked you these questions, and then you posted this short story, so the murderer would be able to draw the link and conclude that you must have lied back then. Perhaps this killer is very stupid when it comes to judging a woman’s character, but he’s very clever in other aspects. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to use this escape room to murder someone.”

Guo Tingting’s eyes trembled. Once she thought of how all her actions had been observed by the murderer, she couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart.

Helian Weiwei continued, “That’s why he mistakenly thought that Zhang Heng was the murderer who killed Dong Sichun. It’s because of this short story you posted. To him, the only other person on the rooftop that night was Zhang Heng, so the person who pushed Dong Sichun down had to be Zhang Heng.”

“It wasn’t Zhang Heng!” Guo Tingting vehemently denied it. “I never said that the figure I saw was Zhang Heng.”

Helian Weiwei’s gaze calmly focused on her. “It’s true that you never said that the figure you saw was Zhang Heng, but you also didn’t tell the murderer if that figure you saw was tall or thin, or fat or skinny, and that’s how he ended up killing the wrong person.”
