Chapter 13 - Disappearance (1/2)

Lin Yiri didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what he just said.

When they were running to see Liu Lili, someone had asked him if the person in the red night gown was his girlfriend.

Naturally, he said ‘no’; he was afraid of getting beaten to death.

Lin Yiri’s lip twitched, “If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”

Su Min never wanted to wear the night gown. It was entirely the cinema’s fault, setting him up for embarrassment.

Furthermore, the script was too strange. Why would a schoolboy go to a lingerie shop off campus? How was that possible…?

Su Min had a strong feeling the screenwriter who wrote this script had bad tastes.

He changed the topic, “Stop talking about this. Did you hear anything else about Teacher Chen?”

Lin Yiri shook his head, “There are no more students left from that year.”

It had been several years since Teacher Chen’s death. His students all graduated one after another, and there was no easy way of tracking them down.

There were new teachers in this school, so the subject of discussion would naturally not be him.

Lin Yiri suddenly had a thought, “Teacher Chen was quite well-known among the students. What if we just found this birthday card on accident and it’s not an important factor at all?”

Su Min didn’t agree.

Everything that appeared in this horror movie was more or less useful.

The birthday card, the photo, the seventh floor, the Su Ya and Jiang Hui who were best friends and also happened to be students of Teacher Chen…

All of these were signs indicating that something unusual happened years ago in the seventh floor, and a large portion of it was related to Teacher Chen.

Lin Yiri had doubts, “Why did one jump off the office building while the other hung herself in the dormitory? Could it be that they failed too many courses?”

Seeing Su Min absorbed in a piece of paper, he continued talking himself, “More and more, I feel that this matter isn’t simple.”

This time, he finally got a response.

On a piece of paper, Su Min drew a diagram to show the relationship between several characters. While thinking, he asked, “Where is it not simple?”

Lin Yiri thought for a moment, “Didn’t we call the police? Even after they came and took Chen Ke’s body away, they didn’t ask us anything.”

Before, they had interrogated them about Liu Lili’s death.

Now, when the police collected Chen Ke’s corpse in the dormitory, not a single question was asked.

It seems that this matter really isn’t simple.

As they were talking, a knock sounded on the door.

Lin Xiao Yan sneakily came in the room, “Su Min, Lin Yiri.”

Lin Yiri jumped in surprise, “How did you come in?”

Lin Xiao Yan closed the door, “The dorm-keeper auntie didn’t stop me.”

Lin Yiri was shocked, “Sure enough, there is a difference between girls and boys–I can’t go into your dormitory.”

If he had gone, he would immediately be blocked by the dorm-keeper aunt the moment he stepped in. He might’ve even been given the title of a ‘lecher’.

“Su Min, can you come to our dormitory at night?” Lin Xiao Yan asked.

Su Min thought for a moment, “Can I just go like this?”

“Yes, the dorm-keeper aunt won’t be checking my dorm, so it doesn’t matter what you wear,” Lin Xian Yan replied.

Su Min was happy when he heard that.

“Okay, then I’ll go,” he agreed.

Lin Yiri cut in, “I want to go, too!”

“No,” Lin Xiao Yan rejected him. “Lin Yiri, your appearance is too robust. You can come only if you wear a skirt and pretend to be a girl.”

Lin Yiri received a big blow.

However, the topic had moved on; Lin Xian Yan purpose in coming here was not this, but another.

She talked about the clues she had heard, “The girl who jumped off the building was Su Ya, and the person who hung herself was Jiang Hui.”

Su Min set the picture aside.

The girl on the left was who they heard jumped off the office building when they were on the stairs; the girl on the right was who they saw in the sealed dormitory last night.

“How did they die?” Su Min asked.

Lin Xiao Yan passed over her cell phone, “The people I talked to said that Jiang Hui hung herself in the dormitory. Her body was discovered by the dorm-keeper aunt during the evening.”

Death by hanging on a ceiling fan was really horror-movie-like.

It was during the holidays, so no one knew that there was someone in the dorm. The dorm-keeper aunt was checking to see if the rooms were locked when she saw that one room was open. Upon entering, she met face-to-face with Jiang Hui’s corpse hanging under the ceiling fan.

Afterwards, the school had suppress this news.

“Did she die on Teacher Chen’s birthday?”

Su Min looked through the records, “No, it was on the day before.”

Jiang Hui died one day before Teacher Chen’s birthday, so the birthday card wasn’t sent.

Su Ya should’ve been the one who died on his birthday. It was unknown if she had jumped on her own freewill or if she had been forced.

At the same time, there was a fire in the office.

“I also find it strange,” Lin Yiri said. “Why did she hanged herself the day before? Unless it was something else, the public statement said that it was a suicide.”

Is it really a suicide?

Lin Yiri continued, “What if she failed a course? The people I asked said Teacher Chen’s failing rate was pretty high. Maybe she failed too many courses and received too much stimulus.”

Lin Xiao Yan revealed some doubts, “It’s unlikely…”

She had failed numerous times but never thought of killing herself… However, she shouldn’t put other people under the same category.

After all, this school was a well-known university with an inhumane percentage of students who couldn’t graduate.

Countless of thoughts flashed through Su Min’s mind, “I’m more inclined to believe that Teacher Chen had done something.”
