Chu Feifan looked at Zhuang Lingtian strangely, as he had no idea that Jin'er had a bracelet.
"Is this all it takes for you to see that it's exactly the same?" Ruan Hongmei said unhappily.
"Jin'er, do you have it?" Chu Feifan asked.
"Well, it's not quite the same. Mine is emerald green, while this one is a bit lighter in color," Su Jin'er said, holding the small piece of jade up to the sunlight. "Whose bed was this found on?"
Chu Feifan thought for a moment and said, "It should be Wang Xiangxiang's bed!"
Su Jin'er fell into deep thought. She always felt there were places she had forgotten, but which ones could they be? On the day Wang Xiangxiang was found dead, it seemed someone had said something.
Right, it was that girl who fainted at the scene; her name seemed to be Xiaoying, a high school classmate of Hao Hongtao. If that were the case, she should also know Qin Yu. What exactly was the relationship among these people?
Qin Yu, Hao Hongtao, and the girl named Xiaoying were high school classmates. Hao Hongtao liked Qin Yu, and Xiaoying liked Hao Hongtao. Since they were classmates, Xiaoying couldn't possibly be unaware that Hao Hongtao's crush was Qin Yu. But why did she have a bad relationship with Zhuo Xiaoman?
The complex relationships among these people made her head spin. Perhaps she should ask Xiaoying about it. However! She helplessly looked at her feet; how could she be poisoned at this time? It was really strange. Or could it be that everything was premeditated? That White-Clad Girl was just trying to lure her out. Does that mean the person who knocked on her door last night was her? But who was the eye she saw?
"Jin'er, what are you thinking about?" Chu Feifan asked.
"I'm wondering if Xiaoying might be related to this case."
"Xiaoying? You mean that girl who fainted on the day Wang Xiangxiang died? Oh right! How did we forget about her? She seems to be a high school classmate of Hao Hongtao too!"
"Yes, I want to find out more from her. Besides, this case has already pulled me in; there's no way I can back out now," Su Jin'er said helplessly, though she didn't really want to back out.
"What are you going to do now? Is your foot okay?" Zuo Yi asked, pointing at her foot.
"The doctor said it's fine. He said the poisoner didn't intend to take my life, so the poison used only causes temporary numbness in the skin. It will heal naturally after a while; right now, my foot just doesn't have any feeling."
"Can you leave the hospital?" Chu Feifan asked, carefully looking at her foot.
"Yes!" She glanced at Ruan Hongmei, who had been sitting quietly beside her, and noticed that she was playing a staring game with Zhuang Lingtian.
"You two?" She couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, stop playing, Hongmei. Help me pack my things; I want to go back to the dorm."
Ruan Hongmei turned back and asked, "Is your foot really okay?"
"Mm!"
The girl named Xiaoying and another girl had already moved to a different dormitory, but they didn't know where they had gone and had to ask the administrator again.
For some reason, every time Su Jin'er saw the chubby administrator, she felt uneasy because the way the administrator looked at her sent chills down her spine.
"Are you looking for the students who used to live in Room 501? Let me check," she said while flipping through the dormitory registration book, occasionally glancing sideways at Su Jin'er.
"Cheng Xiaoying and Lu Lili, right? They are now living in Room 402." After saying this, she closed the book and leaned back in her chair, looking at Chu Feifan with a scrutinizing gaze. "This pretty girl is your girlfriend, isn't she?"
Her sudden question caught them off guard. Chu Feifan smiled and replied, "Yes, so I hope you can take care of her from now on."
"Of course! A beautiful girl like this is liked by anyone who sees her. You don't even have to tell me; I'll take care of her."
Her words made everyone feel a bit nauseous. To avoid further conversation with her, they hurriedly rushed up the stairs while the administrator called out that they should come by more often.
Cheng Xiaoying and Lu Lili had moved to Room 402, but where did the original residents of Room 402 go? Su Jin'er and Ruan Hongmei were also on the fourth floor but had not seen Cheng Xiaoying and Lu Lili around there.
Su Jin'er instructed the three boys to stay at the stairwell and not approach the dormitory since boys were not allowed in the girls' dorms.
Su Jin'er knocked on the door, and a female voice from inside said, "Coming!"
The one who opened the door was none other than Lu Lili. Upon seeing Su Jin'er, she paused for a moment and then reluctantly said, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is Cheng Xiaoying here?"
Lu Lili hesitated for a moment, then nodded and stepped aside to let them in. "Ever since she got scared last time, she's been a bit paranoid. She looks panic-stricken every day, and any little noise makes her scream. To prevent the school from finding out, I sent her to a mental hospital, and I've just kept her in the dormitory."
Cheng Xiaoying was sitting on the bed at the back, curled up with her knees hugged to her chest, her body trembling continuously.
"Has she been like this since that day?"
"Yes. At first, I couldn't even get close to her. Slowly, she realized I wasn't a bad person, so now she only allows me near her."
To verify Lu Lili's words, Su Jin'er had Ruan Hongmei deliberately approach Cheng Xiaoying. However, as soon as Ruan got close to the bed, Cheng Xiaoying immediately screamed and covered her head, claiming there was a ghost.
A ghost?
Did she see something that night? What exactly did she see?
"Alright, don't provoke her anymore; she's already pitiful enough," Lu Lili said as she rushed over to hug Cheng Xiaoying. When she got close, Cheng Xiaoying indeed did not scream but reached out to hold her. This surprised Su Jin'er.
"This won't do. If she stays in the dormitory like this, someone will eventually find out. Can we take her to see a psychologist? It might help her," Su Jin'er suggested, knowing that this would allow her to use hypnosis to get Cheng Xiaoying to talk about what she saw that night.
Lu Lili seemed hesitant. She stroked Cheng Xiaoying's hair for a long time before finally saying, "Alright! But you have to promise not to let other students know and not to hurt her."
"Okay, I promise."
Although Su Jin'er found their relationship a bit strange, she also felt that her friendship with Linyuan was just as deep. If either of them were to go crazy or something happened, the other would never abandon them. However, friendships like theirs were rare, so she admired Lu Lili for taking such good care of Cheng Xiaoying.
"I have one more condition."
"You can say it."
"I want to go with you; that way, I can be assured of Xiaoying's safety."
Assured of Xiaoying's safety?
Did she think they would harm her? Regardless of what Lu Lili thought, at least it was good that they could take her along.
Originally, Su Jin'er wanted Chu Feifan to find the psychologist from last time, but Chu Feifan suggested another person. This new psychologist was a PhD in psychology who had just returned from abroad. Su Jin'er trusted this choice more because she hadn't seen Gaya Ze for a long time. She asked about him and learned that he felt his skills were too low, so he went abroad for further studies.
The psychologist Chu Feifan mentioned was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that. Standing at 1.7 meters tall, with an attractive figure and delicate features, anyone who saw her would be drawn to her. She opened a psychological clinic on a rather secluded street in the city.
"Hello, my name is Lin Yazhi." She extended her slender white hand to Su Jin'er.
Su Jin'er felt a bit startled; she was actually afraid of interacting with psychologists. She believed they could see through her thoughts with just one glance, and that feeling of being exposed was uncomfortable.
She reached out and shook her hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Su Jin'er."
"Indeed a beauty; no wonder our Feifan is so enchanted by you," Lin Yazhi said with a smile as she looked at Su Jin'er, making her feel as if Lin could see through her thoughts, causing her to lower her head.
"You don't need to be afraid. I know most people feel scared when seeing a psychologist, but it's really nothing to worry about. We're just like everyone else." As she spoke, she cheerfully leaned closer to Su Jin'er.
Su Jin'er caught a faint scent of osmanthus from her, which was refreshing and eased much of her tension.
"Ha ha, just don't be nervous," she walked up to Chu Feifan, lifted his chin with her finger, and said, "I came back from abroad and you haven't even welcomed me! Have you forgotten about your sister now that you have a girlfriend?"
Chu Feifan pushed her hand away and said, "Alright, don't make me look bad in front of my girlfriend. I actually have something very important to discuss with you."
"For her?" she pointed at Cheng Xiaoying, who was being embraced by Lu Lili.
Chu Feifan nodded.
"It seems like she might be scared," she said as she slowly approached Cheng Xiaoying. However, before she got close, Cheng Xiaoying immediately screamed.
Lin Yazhi frowned and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Chu Feifan glanced at Lu Lili, then pulled Lin Yazhi into a room inside. He briefly explained the recent events at school and told her he wanted her to use hypnosis to make Cheng Xiaoying reveal what she saw that night.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yazhi agreed and asked Lu Lili, the only one who wouldn't make Cheng Xiaoying scream, to help her into the inner room. Chu Feifan and Su Jin'er followed them in.
It was a very clean room with a long single bed and a table with a chair. The walls were all white, but the curtains were heavy black, which felt oppressive. Su Jin'er was a bit confused; isn't a psychological clinic supposed to be a relaxing place? Why use black curtains?
