389 The Secret About the Past 7 (1/2)

An Xiaoning smiled at them and said reassuringly, ”Fear not, it'll be alright. Could you please bring me two chairs?”

The teacher hurriedly gestured for the students to bring the chairs. ”Go, quick.”

They soon returned with two chairs, which An Xiaoning placed in front of the door.

Ma Jianguo and Zu Dong arrived back at the dormitory twenty minutes later, holding the case files of the murderer and victim of the murder case that occurred a few years ago.

An Xiaoning reached out to grab the two case files, which she then perused carefully.

She discovered that the murderer and the victim were not on good terms right from the start. The murderer was from a poor family and went through painstaking means to earn himself a place in the university. He had always been living a frugal life, whereas the victim was from an affluent family and was never cash-strapped.

The two had conflicting personalities and would frequently engage in heated arguments, which sometimes turned physical.

They did not get along with each other at all.

An Xiaoning believed that they both had a part to play in causing the strained relationship between them.

The murderer would have understandably developed an inferiority complex due to his poor family background.

Meanwhile, the victim would have been bound to develop a sense of superiority, given the fact that he had always lived a comfortable life with material abundance. Even if he may not have necessarily flaunted his wealth on purpose, it would have seemed like so to others, simply because they didn't possess the things he did.

During their last heated argument, the pauper stabbed the affluent victim with a knife repeatedly to death.

There were no tedious investigations carried out after the murder, and the murderer was simply arrested and put behind bars, after which the case was closed.

Gong Le handed An Xiaoning the materials and tools needed for the ritual, which she then arranged accordingly before lighting up a joss stick.

Shock and terror were written on everyone's faces as they heard a sudden shrill voice coming from inside the dorm, which lasted for a few seconds before coming to an end.

”It's all settled. Would you guys like to go in to have a look? Also, these students here, you guys might be frightened and afraid, but don't worry, everything is fine now,” An Xiaoning said smilingly, amused at the sight of the teacher grabbing onto the railing tightly in complete shock.

”I don't want to stay in this room anymore…”

”Me too, I want to move to another room…”

”I'm moving back home…”

”…”

An Xiaoning removed the amulets on the door and took the lead in entering the room. The students were too afraid to enter, as much as they wanted to collect their belongings.

At last, they finally entered in the company of the police officers and quickly began packing their bags.

Liu Chen's parents could not help but ask, ”Officer An, just how did my son die?”

”The answer is very obvious. Your son had once lived in this room for a period of time. You mentioned that he used to be outgoing and optimistic but became moody and aloof ever since he attended university. This is because he was possessed by the vengeful spirit of the victim who was murdered in this room previously. Such spirits and unholy beings would usually choose to possess those who are frail and weak. For example, they would take the chance to possess their victims when their immune system is weak and defenseless. When one is healthy and full of vigor, it would practically be impossible for spirits to possess them. The vengeful spirit had possessed your son's body for years and led him to drown in the river once your son's energy and vitality were depleted,” An Xiaoning explained patiently.

”I would've never believed these superstitious theories if I didn't witness it with my own eyes today,” said Mrs. Liu as she began tearing up uncontrollably.

An Xiaoning pointed at the student who had an amulet on his forehead and said, ”This student over here was the spirit's next target. Fortunately, we managed to discover it in time. Otherwise, he could very likely have ended up in the same plight as your son.”

The male student was scared soulless and wanted to cry yet had no tears. ”Thank you, Officer An. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have suffered the same fate too. I've been experiencing lots of discomforts ever since I caught a cold. I couldn't sleep at night and suffer from insomnia, which made me appear listless all the time. I instantly felt better and revitalized after you pasted the amulet on my forehead. I really don't know how I should thank you.”

An Xiaoning gave him a pat on his shoulder and said, ”You don't have to thank me. Fate brought me to you and allowed me to discover your condition in the nick of time. If it weren't because of Liu Chen's death, I wouldn't have been here for the investigations. So, just burn some offerings for Liu Chen during his burial. That'll do.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”I will do that for sure,” the male student agreed, nodding earnestly.

An Xiaoning took another look around the room. Noticing how hastily the students were packing their belongings, she said, ”There's really nothing in this room anymore. You don't actually have to move out.”

”No, no, no. I must move out. I'm really traumatized.”
