“Zhang Yang, you bastard!” Chu Feifan shouted angrily.
“Heh heh! Aren't you all tough? Come and fight me!” Zhang Yang laughed maniacally, like a madman.
Li Yiqian quietly handed some dirt to Chu Feifan and then nodded at him.
As Zhang Yang looked at him, he suddenly threw the dirt in his hand, causing Zhang Yang to bend down in pain, covering his eyes. Chu Feifan picked up a stick from the ground and struck him hard, making him dizzy.
“Can you walk?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, you walk in front, and I'll carry Zuo Yi behind.”
Li Yiqian helped Chu Feifan place Zuo Yi on his back, and the three of them quickly ran toward the exit.
Most of M School's people had left, and there were hardly any others around. They returned to the boys' dormitory and laid Zuo Yi on the bed.
Chu Feifan said, “I’ll give you my clothes first. Go take a shower and clean your wounds.”
Li Yiqian lowered her head. “Okay!”
Earlier in the cave, she must have seen her own body. Now her face was flushed; even though she had been violated, she was still a girl. She lowered her head to take the clothes that Chu Feifan handed over and walked into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from inside.
Chu Feifan sat by the bed and softly called out to Zuo Yi. Zuo Yi frowned and slowly opened his eyes. “Damn it! How did I fall asleep?”
“You're really something else; you can fall asleep even while fighting?”
“Where's that beast Zhang Yang?” He looked around and realized he was back in the dormitory. “What happened? Was I dreaming just now?”
He raised his hand and noticed that the back of it was bleeding, which meant that everything that had just happened was not a dream. He looked at Chu Feifan in confusion.
"You were hypnotized by Zhang Yang just now."
"What? Is he really that powerful? I was hypnotized in an instant? What about Li Yiqian?" He shook the blood off his hand, speaking nonchalantly.
"She's inside," Chu Feifan pointed towards the bathroom.
Zuo Yi frowned and said softly, "You actually let a girl use our bathroom?"
Chu Feifan helplessly spread his hands and then pointed to Zhang Yang's bed.
The bathroom door opened, and Li Yiqian walked out. She looked particularly frail in Chu Feifan's clothes, her wet hair still dripping: "Um, sorry, I couldn't find a towel."
Chu Feifan handed her a light yellow towel that was hanging by the headboard; it was new and had not been used yet.
Once she finished drying her hair, Chu Feifan asked, "Can you tell us what exactly happened now?"
"What about Jin'er? Have you seen Jin'er?"
Chu Feifan's expression changed slightly, and he remained silent.
"Is something wrong with her? Please tell me quickly," Li Yiqian cried.
"Yes, she doesn't know what illness she has; she's unconscious," Zuo Yi said.
"That bastard."
"What did Zhang Yang do to her?" Chu Feifan shouted angrily.
"I don't know how Xu Mengguang found out that Xiaoqing is my sister, and he also knew that I came to this school to investigate my sister's death. So, he lied to me saying he knew who the Killer was and invited me to the old Old Laboratory. I was only thinking about avenging my sister, so I went without thinking much. But he deceived me; he wanted to rape me. I struggled desperately, but he drugged me with a substance, right after he took off my clothes. Then, Zhang Yang appeared. He first knocked Xu Mengguang out and then strangled him. At that moment, I had already lost consciousness. That beast Zhang Yang raped me and even took photos, threatening me that if I dared to tell anyone, he would make the photos public. I had no choice but to obey him. He also threatened me that if I reported it to the police, he would kill me just like he killed Xu Mengguang. I was very scared, so I listened to him."
"But after that, you stayed in the dormitory, right? How did you end up in the cave?"
"Zhang Yang is extremely suspicious. He would call me over every other day to accompany him for those kinds of things. At first, I didn't want to, but he kept threatening me, so I had no choice but to agree. I wanted to tell Jin'er, but I was too afraid. I wrote in my diary hoping someone would see it, but Jin'er and the others never touched anyone else's things. I had no way out, so I wrote it on a piece of paper and left it on my bed. The next day, Zhang Yang told me to leave the school. I could only tell Jin'er and the others that I was going out to investigate my sister's case. But Xiaonan insisted on coming with me. Of course, I didn't agree, but she insisted on going. So, I took her to a forest where I saw a house and knocked Xiaonan out before leaving her there. Afraid she might be in danger, I stayed with her until she woke up. But then she fainted again, so I carried her back to a small grove near the school and left her there. After that, Zhang Yang took me to the cave. Later, Jin'er found the paper I left behind and came looking for me. I thought she would go with you all, but she went alone instead. Then she was hypnotized by Zhang Yang and had her memory erased. Zhang Yang wanted to possess Jin'er, so I knocked him out and tied him up with rope. I wanted to kill him, but he said if he died, I'd never find out the cause of my sister's death and that my photos would be leaked as well. So I compromised again; I really hate myself for being useless."
"Are you telling the truth?" Zuo Yi still didn't believe that Zhang Yang had such powerful hypnosis skills.
"You saved me, and Jin'er got hurt because of me. How could I possibly lie to you?"
"We believe you. However, since you are Jin'er's friend and you saved her, we will protect your safety. We also know you are eager to find the Killer who murdered your sister, but acting hastily will only harm yourself. In the future, don't act alone anymore; I'm sure Jin'er also hopes to catch your sister's Killer, so we will help you." Chu Feifan handed her a glass of water.
"Thank you so much!"
"Now that school is on break, you should go home! It's not safe here," Zuo Yi said.
"I no longer have a home; I sold our house to gather enough money for school."
Chu Feifan took out his phone and called Linyuan to inform her that they found Li Yiqian and asked about Su Jin'er's condition before saying for Li Yiqian to find Linyuan.
"In a bit, we'll take you back to the dormitory; pack your things and go find Linyuan; she will help you. Here’s her phone number."
"Thank you so much!"
They accompanied her as she changed clothes and packed her belongings before getting into the car and finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Shall we go see how that bastard is doing?" Chu Feifan said, watching the taxi drive away.
"Yeah! How is Jin'er doing?" They talked as they walked towards the forest.
"Still the same, no signs of waking up. The doctor said her brain is fine, but they can't find the cause of her condition."
Zhang Yang had long since disappeared from the cave; he had already run away.
"We should call the police! If we don't report it, there's no way the police will find anything. I really wonder when China will have a Sherlock Holmes!" Zuo Yi said, crossing his arms.
"There are many Sherlock Holmes in China; it's just that we haven't encountered any."
"Call the police? The most important witness has already left. How can we report it?" Zuo Yi said with a laugh.
"Right! I completely forgot in all this tension, but luckily I still have a backup." Chu Feifan shook his phone.
"You recorded it."
The police took away the items from the cave and Chu Feifan's phone, and questioned them again. The police said they would notify the city police to make arrests and would also find witnesses to question, then let them leave.
"These police really know how to brush things off!"
"Well, they're the police! If you have the ability, you can be a police officer too."
"Ah! I really regret not studying Taekwondo properly before; otherwise, that kid wouldn't have been so arrogant and wouldn't have hurt his own hand." Zuo Yi shook his hand wrapped in bandages.
"Did you hit his teeth?"
"Could it be that his teeth didn't fall out? Was I not strong enough?"
"In that situation, who would care about whether his teeth fell out or not!"
The case of Xu Mengguang was considered closed, but who killed the others? And what about Wu Nannan? Was her death an accident, or was she murdered?
They were not happy about catching the killer of Xu Mengguang; they thought these cases might have been the work of one person. But now it seemed that another, more terrifying killer was still at large. The school was nearly empty, and they wouldn't find any important clues by staying. However, before leaving, they decided to go to the mountains. They didn't expect to find any leads; even if there were clues, they would have been buried under several heavy snowfalls.
"Why go when you know you won't find anything?" Zuo Yi said discontentedly.
"I don't know. I just feel that even though my brother wasn't a good person, he was still my brother. I want to know how he died."
Others might think their brothers were bad people, but he couldn't. He remembered being bullied as a child, and his brother always stood up for him, beating those bullies until they were bruised and battered. Even though he didn't care much like everyone else did, his brother always gave him the best of everything.
Their mother didn't like him, saying he brought bad luck and always spoiled him. His brother never got angry; he protected him at every turn. Even when he broke a vase, his brother would take the blame and face punishment instead. Yet his brother was always kind to him. He felt he could never repay his brother's kindness in this lifetime. When he learned of his brother's death, he was heartbroken and fell seriously ill. Now that he finally had a chance to repay his brother, how could he give up? No matter if there were wolves or tigers ahead, he was determined to investigate because his brother would never commit suicide nor be foolish enough to let himself burn to death. He was so smart; how could he make such a stupid mistake? He wouldn't allow himself to get drunk while trying to escape. So, he simply did not believe it.
