"I'll be right back!"
Xia Xiaoyu knew that this matter was unusual, but she had to go back. Even if she couldn't find any clues now, she at least needed to understand what was happening at the University.
"What's wrong? Did something happen again?" Seeing Xia Xiaoyu hurriedly putting down her handbag and zipping it up with a somewhat anxious expression, Xu Qian couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, someone died at the University again!" Xia Xiaoyu didn't hide it and didn't bother to explain in detail.
"I'll take you to the University entrance!"
Xu Qian also knew that time was of the essence; perhaps even a small clue could lead to a significant breakthrough.
The restaurant wasn't far from the University, and with a car taking Xia Xiaoyu, they quickly arrived at the entrance.
Along the way, Xia Xiaoyu's mind became chaotic again because she understood that trouble was brewing.
"You go in first. Remember, no matter what happens, don't lose your composure. It'll be fine. If you run into major trouble, remember to call me. Zifeng will also step in..."
Xu Qian naturally knew that what was happening at the University wouldn't be simple. He actually wanted to go in too, but his identity was different. If he went in at this time, he would definitely be treated as a suspect, which would lead to more trouble.
"Okay, I'll head back for now! If anything comes up, I'll contact you!" Xia Xiaoyu smiled.
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu stepped into the University, she noticed many students discussing something animatedly, but she didn't catch the details.
It was clear that she had returned late and that the incident had already concluded. She saw an ambulance leaving the path towards the Boys' Dormitory Building, along with a police car.
Xia Xiaoyu had a rough idea of what had happened; it was another incident involving someone from the Boys' Dormitory Building.
Instead of heading to the Boys' Dormitory Building to check it out, she went to her own dormitory, knowing that her dorm mates would be aware of the situation.
When she pushed open the dorm door, she indeed found everyone sitting gloomily in the room, silent and withdrawn.
“Xia Xiaoyu, you’re back!”
Tian Xiaojing spoke without any enthusiasm. Upon seeing Xia Xiaoyu enter, she merely said this in a flat tone, her expression downcast.
“What happened? What’s going on at the University?” Xia Xiaoyu furrowed her brows and looked at everyone.
“Another student died in the Boys' Dormitory Building!” Chen Mumu exclaimed, her emotions running high and her face showing distress.
“What happened? What exactly occurred today?”
Xia Xiaoyu sensed that things were starting to unfold in a way she hadn't anticipated.
“We don’t know. We only heard that this morning, someone went to the public restroom and found a dead person in a single-use stall. It was horrific; his head was almost unrecognizable, twisted beyond belief, stuffed into the toilet. His body was covered in blood. But when they pulled him out, they discovered that the skin on his face had been peeled off, leaving a bloody mess. It was impossible to identify him. The person who saw that mangled body screamed and fainted…”
"Then what happened?"
Xia Xiaoyu felt a shiver run through her as she imagined the scene described by Chen Mumu, even though it was broad daylight.
"Finally, it alarmed the University, and then they called the police!" Liu Feifei continued. Her usually lively and cheerful personality had dimmed after encountering such events.
"What happened next? Was it really that simple..."
The more Xia Xiaoyu thought about it, the more she sensed something was off. The timing of the death also seemed peculiar.
"No, there’s something even stranger," Chen Mumu said, looking at Xia Xiaoyu. She paused to consider whether she should share this information.
