Chapter 158 Guardian (XVI)
"Student Sheng..." Su Zeyuan naturally remembered the other person's name because of the contact he had with him in the past few days. In his impression, Sheng Guiye and he didn't have a warm relationship, so when the other person suddenly handed him water, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Song Yanchi looked at Su Zeyuan's confused expression, as if he saw himself in the other person who had just felt that something was wrong with Sheng Yegui an hour ago.
Seeing Su Zeyuan pause in taking the water, Sheng Yegui seemed to realize something and explained, "It's warm water."
Song Yanchi snorted coldly from his throat: "It's more like tea."
Qiao Yuan was about to pour water for Su Zeyuan, but when she turned around to look for the kettle, she found that Sheng Yegui had already poured water for Su Zeyuan, and the other party was very considerate. He praised her casually and then said, "Since you have already poured water for him, I won't pour it for him."
Sheng Yegui smiled gently: "This is what I should do."
Su Zeyuan watched the interaction between the two and looked puzzled.
He took the water from Sheng Yegui, said thank you in a hoarse voice, and wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but after just a few sips, the glass in Su Zeyuan's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
As the glass exploded when it fell to the ground, Qiao Yuan's attention was temporarily diverted from Sheng Yegui, but then he found that the other party was holding his neck with pain between his eyebrows. Looking at the fragments on the ground, he seemed to want to express his apology, but he couldn't make a sound.
But this time, before she could step forward to show concern, Sheng Yegui once again took the lead: "Student Su, are you okay? Do you want us to call a doctor?"
Song Yanchi even directly asked, "Did he poison you?!"
However, Su Zeyuan still had that frowned look on his face, as if he couldn't speak.
Just as Qiao Yuan was about to call a doctor, the door of the ward was already opened.
It turned out that Officer Ling, who was on the phone in the corridor, also heard the noise and rushed over. As soon as he opened the door, he noticed Su Zeyuan surrounded by several people, and hurriedly prepared to call a doctor.
Fortunately, at this moment, the pain between Su Zeyuan's eyebrows finally showed signs of dissipating: "No, it has nothing to do with classmate Sheng."
"It's the wound on my neck that hurts a little."
Upon hearing that the other party was not poisoned by water, Song Yanchi's expression became complicated.
Because of Su Zeyuan's words, everyone's attention was focused on the other person's neck. Although Officer Ling had already questioned Qiao Yuan and others, when Su Zeyuan, one of the parties involved, woke up, he asked them again what happened in the office.
Su Zeyuan rubbed his temple with his slender fingertips, trying to recall: "I remember that Teacher Shi called me away, and then she suddenly reached out and grabbed my neck, and then I lost consciousness..."
Of course, after all, the other party fainted afterwards, and it seemed that he fainted completely.
Qiao Yuan added in his heart.
Su Zeyuan turned to look at Sheng Yegui and Song Yanchi. After all, although he was unconscious at the time, these two were still awake and might know what happened next. But according to Song Yanchi, Teacher Shi also fainted inexplicably after choking Su Zeyuan.
Because of the other party's actions just now, they did not dare to approach Teacher Shi casually, and could only send Su Zeyuan to the hospital first.
His expression was gloomy: "How could this happen?"
Officer Ling also wanted to ask the same question as Su Zeyuan: why did this happen?
He thought again of the scene when he called his colleague.
When he first heard his colleague stammering that Shi Jingyan was dead, the first suspects that came to his mind were Su Zeyuan and Song Yanchi in front of him.
Although he had had brief contact with Teacher Shi and knew that the other party was gentle, he couldn't help but wonder if the tragedy was caused by a conflict with the teacher, and the wound on Su Zeyuan's neck was also left when the teacher fought back. After all, adolescent students are prone to impulsiveness, and this kind of thing has happened before.
But when the police officer saw the photos sent by his colleagues, he completely overturned his guess -
In the photo, Shi Jingyan's hair, face, body, limbs, facial features, etc. were all lying on the ground as if they had been disintegrated, and there were no knife cuts or bloodstains. It did not look like body parts, but rather like building blocks that could be put together again in the next second.
Of course, the most important thing is the degree of decay of these body parts and organs.
According to past experience, estimating the time of death based on the degree of decay should have been done by a forensic doctor after a professional autopsy. However, this time, they could tell at a glance that the decay time was several years ago, and some of the bodies had already turned into bones.
In other words, Teacher Shi had died at least a few years ago.
The one who stood on the podium and taught the students with a smile, the one who greeted them when they met in the corridor, the one who was in the same room with Su Zeyuan and the one who strangled Su Zeyuan's neck, were actually all moving corpses.
If this is true, it actually has nothing to do with Su Zeyuan, after all, the other party just transferred in a few days ago.
The situation before them was so strange that even the police officers felt confused.
He could only tell Su Zeyuan not to think too much and take good care of himself. After saying these words, he hurriedly got up and prepared to go to the scene to meet up with his colleagues.
After the police officer left, Su Zeyuan seemed to be still puzzled and said to Qiao Yuan: "Why would Teacher Shi do that..."
Probably because it smells delicious.
However, this obviously only applies to ghosts. When Qiao Yuan had come into contact with Su Zeyuan before, he had only smelled a fragrance similar to that of soapberries from him.
Of course, Qiao Yuan couldn't possibly repeat the ghost's words "You smell so good" exactly as they were: "Let Officer Ling investigate this matter. You should have a good rest first."
Su Zeyuan nodded, and then said as if he was embarrassed: "I... I don't feel very strong yet, you should go back to the classroom first, so as not to delay your class."
"It has nothing to do with me..."
Looking at the other person's pale face and the obvious pinch marks on his neck, Qiao Yuan naturally couldn't be at ease enough to leave Su Zeyuan alone in the ward: "It's okay. I'm also worried about you staying in the ward alone."
Hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Su Zeyuan pursed his lips, looking a little embarrassed. But before he could say anything, Sheng Yegui's words rang out again : "Of course, I will take good care of him. After all, he is your friend, and he is also my friend."
Su Zeyuan looked up and saw Sheng Yegui and Qiao Yuan standing very close to each other.
He bit his lips lightly, trying to hold back, but in the end he couldn't help wondering: "Your relationship seems to be much better than before..."
Sheng Yegui seemed a little embarrassed: "Yeah, Yan Chi said so too."
Song Yanchi: "? Who said that? I clearly told you to stay away from my sister..."
Because his attention was drawn to the second half of the other party's sentence, Song Yanchi did not pay attention to correcting the other party's address to him this time.
Su Zeyuan looked at Qiao Yuan: "You guys..."
This matter was too troublesome to explain, not to mention that it involved other copies, so Qiao Yuan said directly: "Friend, didn't I introduce it to you before?"
When she introduced other players to Su Zeyuan, she always used the names of her close friends. Su Zeyuan never showed any doubt about the fact that she had so many friends.
After she finished speaking, she did not forget to wink at Sheng Yegui to prevent him from exposing her words.
Su Zeyuan responded softly and no longer had any doubts.
Qiao Yuan knew that Sheng Yegui had made great achievements in being virtuous, and in fact it was true.
The other party took good care of Su Zeyuan and did not leave her any room to intervene. Moreover, in the face of Song Yanchi's repeated provocations, he did not show any sign of anger. Instead, he chose to take a step back and be tolerant everywhere, making Song Yanchi's anger seem like a punch on cotton.
Qiao Yuan even took this opportunity to take a short nap to replenish his energy.
After waking up, Qiao Yuan watched Sheng Yegui handle everything in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and to the system that Sheng Guiye was good at managing a company, and Sheng Yegui was obviously good at managing a home. He didn't know whether it was a natural skill or acquired effort.
system:【……】
Later, Yang Zhe and Tang Huan also came.
On the one hand, they wanted to check on Su Zeyuan's condition, fearing that he would be affected by the conflict between Song Yanchi and Sheng Yegui, not to mention that the latter looked a little weird. However, after entering the ward, they realized that they were worrying too much, and what they were worried about did not happen.
On the other hand, it is also for the purpose of exchanging information.
After Qiao Yuan and the others left, Shi Jingyan's body quickly disintegrated and rotted. Uncle Man and Cheng Xiao had never seen such a scene before, so they were quickly disgusted and vomited violently. Until now, they have not been able to react, and their legs are weak and they can't stand. Zou Lu is better than them, but purely because she didn't eat today, she just cried and retched. Yang Zhe and Tang Huan had a hard time getting them to control their emotions.
Therefore, these three people are now resting and adjusting in the classroom and are unable to come.
Fortunately, at this moment, Officer Ling’s colleagues arrived quickly and after questioning them, they began to deal with the body.
Because the corpse was so strange, the police did not suspect Yang Zhe and others who were present.
Because of the players' previous obstruction , the classmates did not see Shi Jingyan's body explode, but many people witnessed her fainting before.
Shi Jingyan has a good reputation among students, so when they learned that she had fainted, many people came to ask Yang Zhe and others who might know the situation, but they were all fooled by Yang Zhe.
Qiao Yuan nodded, knowing that Shi Jingyan's body would be a headache for the police.
Su Zeyuan left the hospital half an hour before the dormitory curfew, and then they separated at the dormitory door.
When Qiao Yuan and Tang Huan returned, Zou Lu had already returned to the dormitory and was lying on the bed covered with a quilt. The other roommates were probably still studying in the classroom, so they didn't come over.
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on Zou Lu. This time, the other party's fear did not seem fake. His body seemed to be shaking violently. Even when he saw the two people coming in, he did not mean to say hello. It seemed that he was quite frightened.
Qiao Yuan and Tang Huan could also understand, and the next day, Zou Lu really returned to normal.
In the next few days, there was no danger around Su Zeyuan and the players.
The school also explained why Shi Jingyan had not come to school in the past few days, saying that she had been found to be the murderer of Wang Hao, Duan Chao and others, and had been taken away by the police.
This was of course a joint statement from the school and the police, which Qiao Yuan had seen in the message he had intercepted on his phone. The police found out that the ghost's shell was not only assembled, but also used another person's identity. They had no way of finding out the other person's true identity, so they could only come to this conclusion in order to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. After all, they could not think of the metaphysical aspect.
Qiao Yuan also saw that the other party had entered the school a few years ago. So it seemed that the other party's targeting of Su Zeyuan was just an accident.
Naturally, all the strange things that happened in the school before were blamed on Shi Jingyan. The case was solved, Su Zeyuan's suspicion was cleared, and the police officers and plainclothes officers left the school quietly.
Once the news that Teacher Shi was the murderer and Wang Hao was also dead was released, the students were naturally shocked for a while. Some people still didn't believe that they, who had always treated Teacher Shi gently, would be the murderer behind the scenes, and even killed Duan Chao and others in such a weird way.
However, when the players gathered together to discuss, they all looked much more relaxed.
"It seems that Shi Jingyan is indeed the boss of this dungeon." When Yang Zhe said this, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief: "This is the first time I have defeated a dungeon boss so quickly since entering the dungeon."
Hearing Yang Zhe's words, Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up: "So now we just have to wait for him to take the college entrance examination?"
Tang Huan nodded to confirm his words, with a smile on his face.
Cheng Xiao cheered, saying that he could make good use of the time in the dungeon to study hard, while Uncle Man thought of something and sighed, "Oh, it's such a pity for Xiao Ren. If he had held on a little longer, he would definitely have survived..."
He remembered that Zou Lu and Ren Shirui had a good relationship, so he turned around and saw that Zou Lu was not in a good mood, so he quickly said: "Don't be too sad, just live with Xiao Ren's copy after leaving the copy."
Zou Lu nodded and said "OK", his smile more sincere, as if talking to himself, "Wait until we leave the dungeon..."
Although the atmosphere among the players was briefly depressed because of the mention of Ren Shirui, it quickly returned to being relaxed.
Song Yanchi secretly glanced at Sheng Yegui and decided to teach him a lesson after leaving the copy.
Although Sheng Yegui felt it, he just smiled tolerantly and turned his attention to Qiao Yuan.
Although Qiao Yuan couldn't really relax until she left the copy, with the death of Shi Jingyan, her heartstrings, which had been tense since she entered the copy, finally relaxed.
At this moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated, as if there was a message coming.
Because he had just used his mobile phone to peek at the message sent by Officer Ling, Qiao Yuan had not had time to turn off his phone.
Because he was worried that Officer Ling might have made some new discoveries, Qiao Yuan specifically talked to the players and then hid in the bathroom cubicle to check the news.
The person who sent the message was not Officer Ling, but the person who was marked as the boss by Wang Hao.
Boss: [Su Zeyuan? ]
