Cao Qian glared at Xing Ye, silently took out a tissue, and gently wiped Zeng Jingrou's tears.
The shadow then returned to its previous sinister and vicious look, proving with its expression that she was an evil ghost.
Xing Ye ignored her. He wanted to connect all the things.
The robin in "Who Killed the Mockingbird" is Liu Muqing, a beautiful and talented woman who competes with Lin Jingxue in a healthy way. Originally, there wasn't much of a problem. Unfortunately, someone with ulterior motives, the real sparrow, got terribly jealous and stole Lin Jingxue's expensive watch, blaming it on Liu Muqing.
This brings us to the birds in the nursery rhyme "The Robin." Initially, their attitude is indifferent. Flies watch the robin die, and fish even take the robin's blood. But suddenly, the situation changes, and the birds begin to mourn for the robin, unable to extricate themselves from their grief, and they will judge the sparrow in the next bird court.
This corresponds to the indifferent attitude of all the students in the school after Liu Mucheng was framed for stealing. Everyone thought she was guilty. She was poor but excellent. Excellence aroused jealousy, while poverty led to discrimination, and they took this opportunity to trample on her dignity.
Suffering from inner torment, Liu Muqing fell into a trance and died when she was walking down the stairs due to some friction. After that, the birds, that is, the entire school, discovered that their actions had killed a person. The remorse and sadness in their hearts made them transfer their emotions to Lin Jingxue.
It was she who killed Liu Muqing. It was her fault and had nothing to do with me. Just thinking this way would alleviate everyone's guilt.
Then the birds began to mourn the death of the robin and decided to judge the sparrow.
But Lin Jingxue is not a real sparrow, and the two things that her father called the police and Liu Mucheng died in front of her also put her under great psychological pressure. Can a student who is only in the first year of high school really withstand such pressure?
The answer is no.
She happened to be very rich, and Xing Ye had already used the power of money, so it was not difficult for him to buy poison.
The real sparrow who caused the tragic deaths of the two girls is still alive. In the video, she was the first person to enter the locker room.
After solving the mysteries of the robin and 404, a new mystery emerged.
According to current reasoning, the head in the girls' dormitory should be Liu Muqing. She fell to her death, and her body should be intact. So why is she looking for the head? Is there any connection between Mona Lisa's crying, the boy holding his head, and the young lady with the head?
Why did Lin Jingxue know to leave a message for the robin before she died? The wrong music score should have been hers, but it was taken away by Cao Qian.
What about the principal? What role did he play in this? When he heard that Xing Ye had smashed the piano, he suggested that if he felt he was in trouble, he should go to the Political Education Office's standby room and point Xing Ye to Room 404.
The principal obviously knew the inside story, but he chose to cover up the fly and not reveal the truth, and now he tells it again.
After solving one problem, countless new problems emerged. They only have one day left and have to go look for the boy with his head in his arms tomorrow night. They can only hope that Team Di Kuang will make new progress.
"The music score is with you, right? Give it to Zeng Jingrou." After thinking about it, Xing Ye said to Cao Qian.
Cao Qian had been hiding the book under her pillow, and she took it out and gave it to Zeng Jingrou. Zeng Jingrou flipped through the handwritten music score, and the tears that had just stopped fell again: "Thank you, this is my sister's handwriting, it's her handwritten music score. I don't know when she wrote it."
"Huh?" Cao Qian, who likes to speak as little as possible, suddenly asked a question.
Xing Ye looked at her with understanding eyes: "How many points?"
Cao Qian took out her cell phone to show Xing Ye, which showed: Player Cao Qian successfully returned the music score to the family of the deceased Lin Jingxue, obtained 2,000 points, and the progress of the campus hidden object mission was 17.
So generous? Winning the game only gives 100 points, but successfully finding an item can earn you so many points. No wonder Teacher Li Hong's points are as high as 30,000. Finding items in the Obey Fate camp is the most cost-effective.
Xing Ye thought about it and said to Zeng Jingrou, "Let's add each other as WeChat friends."
The original body had pursued Zeng Jingrou before but was dumped. Now he took the opportunity to make a request. Zeng Jingrou's sad eyes suddenly became alert and she looked at Xing Ye warily.
Lin Jingxue also started to pinch Xing Ye again.
Xing Ye quickly said, "I've been snuffed out. If you don't want to add WeChat, just tell me your email address. Don't you want to know where I got the photo? I'll send you the original."
Zeng Jingrou realized that she had misunderstood Xing Ye, and with a blushing face, she added him as a WeChat friend.
Xing Ye copied the video and sent it to the recipient. Then, he heard the long-lost voice of the narrator in his head: "Player Xing Ye successfully returned the evidence to the family of the deceased, Lin Jingxue, earning 500 points. The progress of the campus hidden object quest is 1.257."
Xing Ye: "…"
What's with the 0.25? A quarter, do we have to give it to three more people?
Or should he give the original memory card to Zeng Jingrou? After all, a court case requires substantial evidence; a video alone isn't enough.
So he took out the memory card from the computer and handed it to Zeng Jingrou: "This is the memory card that stores the video."
Zeng Jingrou took the memory card and said "thank you" in a low voice with a blushing face, but Xing Ye did not hear the prompt sound of earning points. It seemed that the memory card could not be given to her.
So Xing Ye snatched the memory card from Zeng Jingrou without hesitation: "I'd better not give it to you. I need it very much."
Zeng Jingrou: "..."
Lin Jingxue came to strangle Xing Ye again, but Xing Ye didn't care. If Lin Jingxue could kill him, she would have done it long ago. So far, she hasn't done anything that threatens her life. It should be that she hasn't triggered any necessary conditions. For example, if she doesn't get the head tomorrow night, it will probably be her own head that will be chopped off.
Although no one will die, the feeling of being strangled is really unpleasant.
Cao Qian watched from the side and couldn't help but remind Xing Ye: "You rolled your eyes."
Xing Ye said with difficulty: "Zeng Jingrou, ask your sister to stop. If she continues, no one will clear her name."
"Sister?" Zeng Jingrou looked at Xing Ye's neck covered with handprints with tears in her eyes.
Lin Jingxue stopped immediately and wanted to hug Zeng Jingrou, but she missed and passed through her body.
The shadow stood in the middle of the dormitory with a depressed look on her face, as if she was about to cry. She was already dead.
"Sister, sister, are you here?" Zeng Jingrou asked.
"I guess so. Humans and ghosts are different. You just need to focus on helping her prove her innocence." Xing Ye said.
"Then how can you give me the memory card?" Zeng Jingrou bit her lip and said, "Do you want me to be your girlfriend? I... for my sister, I... will be your girlfriend... wuwuwu..."
"Don't cry, no one wants you." Xing Ye said indifferently, "Let's get down to business. Do you know who the third girl in the photo is?"
Lin Jingxue had a fierce look on her face again, as if to say, "You don't even want my sister to be your girlfriend." Xing Ye didn't bother to pay attention to her. He really had no interest in this kind of plot where the sister took advantage of the situation and vented her anger on her sister. If they continued to argue about this matter, who knew how long it would take, so it was better to just do it.
Zeng Jingrou was still immersed in the ups and downs of being rejected after trying to compromise. When she was about to recognize someone, she didn't have the strong heart of Xing Ye. After a while, she said, "She is a friend my sister made after entering high school. Her name is Bai Xu. My sister has a good relationship with her. She even came to help my sister celebrate her birthday on her birthday."
Very good, a tragedy born out of jealousy.
"How is she now?" Xing Ye asked.
"In Class 3 of Grade 3, she has always taken good care of me since I enrolled. Sister Bai also has good academic performance and may be admitted to a top university," said Zeng Jingrou.
"Oh, there's nothing for you to do here. Go back and study the video carefully." After Xing Ye was sure that he could not get any clues from Zeng Jingrou, he was about to send her away.
"If anyone's going to leave, it should be you!" An angry shout suddenly came from the door. The dormitory lady opened the door with a key and said to Xing Ye, "How long have you been in the girls' dormitory? The students who took care of Cao Qian are here too, right? Why aren't you leaving?"
Xing Ye: "…"
The dormitory aunt is like an NPC who appears at the right time...
Hmm? He seemed to have overlooked something.
I remember when I visited the girls' dormitory building at night on the first day, my classmates told me that after 11:30 p.m., the dormitory aunt would close the door of the duty room, and she would not open the door until midnight no matter how loudly someone shouted outside.
There are so many details hidden in the unexpected.
Xing Ye didn't leave. Instead, he said to the dormitory aunt, "Auntie, why do you lock the door of the duty room every night? What's so scary about the first floor of the girls' dormitory? You're the dormitory manager, right? You have the responsibility to protect the students' safety. Even if someone screams at night, you won't go out. Aren't you being a little derelict in your duty?"
The dormitory aunt's face changed, and she came forward to grab Xing Ye: "Get out of here right now, this is not a place for boys!"
She was incredibly strong. Xing Ye was quite strong, but he couldn't even struggle against a fifty-year-old aunt. This was not normal.
Xing Ye's brain raced as he named several people involved in the case: "Lin Jingxue!"
"Liu Muqing!"
"White fluff!"
When the dormitory aunt heard the word "Bai Xu", her hand stopped and her strength weakened.
Bai Xu? It was actually Bai Xu? Could there be something wrong with her too?
The aunt was distracted for only a second, then immediately said, "You shouldn't know about this. Go away."
Xing Ye was kicked out of the door, Cao Qian followed closely, and Zeng Jingrou returned to her dormitory to find a computer to watch videos.
When Cao Qian found Xing Ye, he was leaning against the wall of the gymnasium, frowning and thinking deeply, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Xing Ye frowned and thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and called Di Kuang. Di Kuang answered the phone and asked, "Did you find out what happened to the three girls? I have some clues too. Teacher Ding found a suspension record for a girl named Liu Muqing in the Political Education Department, but there's no photo."
"That's not what I'm concerned about right now," Xing Ye asked. "You said before that we had the clue of Mona Lisa crying. Didn't we find the original painting? We just discovered a painting like this. It must have been drawn by a student two years ago. Maybe they entered it into a competition and won or failed."
"How do you know?" Di Kuang blurted out.
"If it wins, the artist is Liu Muqing; if it loses, the artist is Bai Xu, right?"
Di Kuang's voice was filled with surprise. "How did you know this? It's a rejected novel, written by Bai Xu."
"I know where the painting is." Xing Ye said seriously.
"Where is it? I searched the entire school but couldn't find it." Di Kuang asked.
"There's a place we haven't looked for," Xing Ye said. "Late at night, the second and first floors of the girls' dormitory building in another dimension haven't been explored."
