Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 913 Lighting

   "The murderer..." Lu Jieyi didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence.

   "Isn't the murderer still hiding in this building?" The boy instantly became uneasy, and looked around vigilantly, "Maybe he is still hiding in the classroom."

  Lu Jieyi's eyes widened, "Yeah...it should go."

   "Hope," said the boy, "have you been in the classroom? Is there anyone in there?"

   "No," Lu Jieyi said decisively, "only the teacher's body."

   "The murderer should have left..." The boy followed Lu Jieyi up the last flight of stairs, "But we have to be careful."

"Um."

   "Fortunately there are two of us," the boy twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a thin smile, "I won't let others hurt you."

  Lu Jieyi was baffled by this sudden "confession", she turned to look at the boy, her voice was cold, "If there is a situation, we just need to protect ourselves."

   A trace of loss flashed in the boy's eyes, he lowered his eyes quickly, pretending to look at the steps under his feet.

   The two quickly reached the end of the stairs, and Lu Jieyi swallowed and walked towards the corridor on the right.

   "Why do I think this person is weird," Qin Yin followed behind the two, staring at the boy's back suspiciously, "Wen Ling, what do you think?"

  Qingling frowned and seemed to be distracted.

   "Ask Ling...Ask Ling?" Qin Yin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "What do you think?"

  Qing Ling pointed to his nose and said, "Smell."

   "Smell?" Qin Yin sniffed around, "What smell? Is there any smell around?"

  Wang Ling shook his head, "Bloody."

   "Blood... You are talking about the smell of blood just now," Qin Yin said, "Yeah, what's wrong with the smell of blood?"

  Wang Ling stretched out two hands and grabbed his neck, "Strangle to death."

   "Strangled..." Qin Yin's eyes suddenly widened, "Yeah! How did I think of that!"

  It was long overdue.

   Teacher Xiaochun was strangled by the murderer with a rope, and there was no obvious trauma on his body. Where did the smell of blood in the classroom come from?

   "It's terrible..." Qin Yin's footsteps were numb, "There must be something we don't know."

   The two took a few steps forward, and Wen Ling suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Qin Yin.

   "Sound!" Wen Ling's ears moved, "Listen!"

  Qin Yin stopped, learned to ask the spirit, and listened carefully.

  The sound of breathing, the footsteps of Lu Jieyi and the boy, the sound of the door being pushed...

  Tick tock!

   Also, the sound of water drops.

   Qin Yin and Wen Ling turned around at the same time.

  tick…

   Behind the two is the public toilet on this floor. There is no door in the toilet, and two curved passages meander to the left and right ends at the entrance. Behind the passages, there are toilets for men and women.

   If it is the bathroom, there is a sound of dripping water, which is normal.

   However, Qin Yin and Wenling walked over in unison.

  tick…

The    voice came from the side with the pink high heels painted on - the women's bathroom.

  The two walked past a full-length mirror, then bypassed a wall and entered the interior of the women's bathroom.

  The strong smell of blood came out.

   Qin Yin and Wen Lingdeng gasped for breath, and the two froze in place, staring at the scene in front of them.

   On the sink, there was a blood-covered female corpse lying on her back. The female corpse was tied to the faucet by a hemp rope with both hands. The upper body was put into the sink, and the lower body was dragged on the ground, half kneeling.

  The neck of the female corpse was cut open, and some of the blood that poured out flowed on the platform of the sink, and fell drop by drop along the edge of the platform.

  tick…

  Wang Ling covered his mouth, his wide eyes trembling violently.

   "This...this is..." Qin Yin frowned, pressing her stomach hard, trying to overcome the discomfort that came up from her internal organs, "This is another dance teacher."

   Wenling murmured stiffly, "Hu."

   Not only did Mr. Xiaochun die, but Mr. Hu also died.

   And the appearance of death is even more tragic.

"It's so cruel..." Qin Yin shook his head, "so the smell of blood in the dance studio belongs to Mr. Hu. So, like Mr. Xiaochun, Mr. Hu was killed in the dance studio, only Teacher Hu's body was moved here..."

  Wang Ling felt that her breathing was extremely cold, she stared at Teacher Hu's body, a thought popped up in her mind, but it disappeared in a moment.

   "If Lu Jieyi saw her, I'm afraid she would..." Qin Yin said aside.

  Qingling closed his eyes, trying his best to capture his thoughts just now.

   is a very important thing.

   "Ask Ling, let's go to the dance studio." Qin Yin said.

what is it then?

  Wenling's forehead was oozing with fine sweat, she recalled painfully and tried her best.

   "Ask Ling? What's wrong with you?" Qin Yin shook her shoulders in fright, "What happened?"

   is in memory...

   Memories from not long ago.

   "Wen Ling, open your eyes! I'm afraid if you don't open your eyes..." Qin Yin shouted helplessly, "Wen Ling, wake up!"

   Qin Yin's voice swirled in her ears, and she could hear it, but at this moment, her thoughts were flying through the fragments of her memories, looking for the light that flashed just now.

   Bright light.

Light.

  Wang Ling suddenly opened his eyes, and flames spewed out of his gray eyes.

   "Lights!"

   "Light?" Qin Yin repeated, "The light is..."

   "Dangerous!" Wen Ling shouted sharply, she took Qin Yin's hand and ran out of the bathroom, towards the dance studio.

  Lights, yes, lights.

   When Lu Jieyi first entered the building, the lights in the dance studio were still on. After that, the lights suddenly went out. The person who turned off the lights was not Lu Jieyi, let alone the deceased.

   is the murderer.

   And since then, no one has come out of the building.

  The killer is still in the building.

   The killer never left.

   Apart from them, at this moment, there is only one person left in this building...

The door of the    dance room was still open, and the two entered the dance room and ran straight to the classroom at the end.

   Qin Yin grabbed the door handle of the classroom and twisted it hard.

  The door was locked.

  ***

  Lu Jieyi peeked at the boy beside him from the corner of his eye. The boy was tall and thin, his skin was as white as paper, and he looked so weak... What kind of dance would he be dancing?

   The boy noticed Lu Jieyi's eyes, turned his head and looked over, Lu Jieyi quickly looked away.

   "Are you afraid?" The boy seemed to smile and asked.

   "The appearance of the corpse is indeed a bit scary," Lu Jieyi said, "but when I think that it's Teacher Xiaochun, I'm not so scared, it's more sad."

   The two had come to the door of the dance studio, Lu Jieyi took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and walked in.

   "Sad..." The boy whispered, "Do you have a good relationship with Teacher Xiaochun?"

   "Of course," Lu Jieyi said, "They have taught me for many years, and to me, they are like sisters."

The    boy nodded, looking at Lu Jieyi's back, a fleeting smile crossed his lips.
