Chapter 496: Locking Onto The Murderer (1/2)

Another man stood up and slapped him, ”Do you look down on teachers?!”

The atmosphere at the reunion dinner turned heavy with tension and the dinner ended in tears. After that, the poster was busy with work and didn't contact them until he came across the death of one of his classmates on Weibo. A search online revealed the previous cases as well. Hence, the poster was certain that the dead teacher had climbed out of the grave for revenge.

Students of Mr. Xu would never forget his melodious voice as he recited ancient poems. He was always brimming with emotion, as if he had walked a mile in the poet’s shoes.

At the end of the microblog, the poster wrote: I'm sorry Mr. Xu! Please forgive me!

Upon reading the lengthy post, I sat in silence, digesting the story.

”This microblog has been forwarded over 100,000 times,” sighed Xiaotao. “Some are cursing at him while others sympathize and comfort him.”

”Looks like the murderer is one of these five people. Is he going to kill himself then?” I wondered out loud.

There were two women and five men's Hanfu missing, which suggested he had included himself.

”Anyway, since this important clue has surfaced, we’ll take a two-pronged approach. Look for the private school and the poster.”

”If we find him, problem solved!”

Xiaotao planned to act with Wang Yuanchao while Bingxin, Song Xingchen and I worked together.

Bingxin cleared her throat and pushed me towards Xiaotao, ”You should go with Xiaotao-jiejie.”

Xiaotao and I exchanged a look of amusement. ”Alright then, Song Yang and I will head to the private schools, while you guys contact the poster.”

”Get Lao Yao to assist you!” I added.

After the three left, Xiaotao and I began searching for private schools in Jiangling City. There were dozens of them, and when asked, all of them denied the occurrence of such an incident. They must have concealed all information about the matter.

It was unrealistic to visit each school, so I suggested, ”Check the enrollment rate!”

Upon further investigation, there were three private schools with impressive enrollment rates. Thus, we immediately drove to the nearest one.

On the way there, Xiaotao chuckled, ”Bingxin kept me up all night talking.”

”What did you talk about?” I asked curiously.

In this regard, I too had nothing to say. Instead, I praised her, ”Xiaotao, you’re really broad-minded.”

”Well, I believe you!” Xiaotao smiled.

We visited two schools and spoke to the principal, the director of the teaching department, and other staff. During this period, I played a human lie detector using Cave Vision. Neither of these schools seemed to be the right one, leaving only Yingjie High School.

Yingjie High School was pretty far from where we were. Just as we were ready to head over, I received a text message from Lao Yao. It was still rare of him to voluntarily send me one. There was a screenshot of the chat records between two accounts, 'I am a monkey' and 'Qingqing Zijin'—

Qingqing Zijin: Monkey, I read your post. Did the dead teacher really come back for revenge?
