Chapter 338: Intellectual Questions (1/2)

Looking at the white-haired dean, a sliver of doubt crossed my mind! I deliberately glanced at his hand, only to find his skin as old as bark before dismissing my suspicions.

Deng Chao's voice rang once more, ”Next comes the fifth test. I've hidden a clue on the body. You have 15 minutes to find the right place and answer the question. Good luck!”

I returned to the lecture building, rushed into the classroom and found a keychain hanging on the victim’s belt. It looked very familiar so I looked down at my own pants and realized it was mine.

Grabbing the keychain, I dashed out and bumped into Dali halfway. ”Where are we supposed to go next?” he asked.

I shook the keychain in my hand, ”The test this time is in our dormitory. He’s intentionally demonstrating his abilities. Deng Chao approached me at some point and stole my keys and he must have tampered with our dormitory while we were busy answering the previous questions.”

”What?!” exclaimed Dali. “He was that close to you at some point?! First of all, let me declare that I’m the real Dali. If you don't believe me, you can ask any question.”

I knew very well that Dali was standing before me and not some imposter. But more importantly, I knew exactly how Deng Chao had approached me.

Back in the control room of the auditorium, I didn’t examine the body due to time constraints. The other ”corpse” was Deng Chao under disguise. He quietly stole my key while I was speaking to the audience.

I had to admit, the man had courage. But at the same time, it was his twisted self-esteem that drove him to prove how much stronger and smarter he was compared to me.

We hurried back to the dormitory. Since everyone was attending the graduation ceremony today, the corridors were empty. I opened the door to our dorm and saw four dummies sitting side by side in the room. Their heads were painted red, yellow, blue and green respectively, faces twisted into strange smiles.

”Holy shit! That’s creepy!” shouted Dali. “This guy actually sneaked into our dorm to mess with us!”

After a pause, Deng Chao began, ”The student who was reading smokes Hongtashan cigarettes. Bluehead was playing video games at 8 o'clock. The student who drinks Coke was sitting with the student who drinks mineral water. The student who left the room smokes Huanghelou cigarettes. The student watching a movie was farthest from the student reading. There was no one on the right of the student who drinks milk. The student who smokes DHS cigarettes and the student who smokes Huanghelou were sitting together. Greenhead only drinks mineral water. The student playing video games was beside the one reading. There is someone in between the student who drinks mineral water and the one who drinks vitamin water. Yellowhead only smokes DBS cigarettes. The student playing video games smokes Yuxi cigarettes. The student watching a movie drinks milk. So tell me, who is the victim?”

The walkman suddenly burst into flames and was completely scrapped. ”Fucking hell! That was confusing!” cursed Dali. “My brain feels like mush!”

”It's just a simple matter of sorting out the information,” I sneered. “It doesn’t even require reasoning.”

”Simple?” Dali spat his tongue. “I really wonder how your brain works.”

At the end of the recording, I already had it figured out. I grabbed Greenhead and was about to throw it out the window when Dali interjected, ”Dude, are you sure about this? You better be right.”

”There’s no way I’m wrong!” I asserted.
