As the saying goes: Good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
In less than a day, the news of Su Jin'er being taken to the police station spread everywhere. It was even rumored that Su Jin'er was the embodiment of a demon. As a result, everyone at school felt uneasy and dared not associate with her. If anyone asked if they knew Su Jin'er, perhaps only a few would dare to say yes.
At this moment, Zhuang Lingtian sat on a bench at the basketball court, angrily drinking from a bottle of mineral water, the bottle crumpling in his grip. Next to him sat Qin Yu.
"Do you really have to be so ruthless?" Zhuang Lingtian said coldly.
"She brought it upon herself, and what I said is the truth! Whoever likes Su Jin'er will die; whoever dislikes her will also die. So she is indeed the embodiment of a demon," Qin Yu replied nonchalantly.
Zhuang Lingtian turned his head and looked at her with icy eyes. "Aren't you afraid of dying? Do you really hate her that much?"
Qin Yu's body stiffened. She had not expected that her words about Su Jin'er being the embodiment of a demon—whoever liked or disliked her would die—would come back to haunt her. She had only spoken in haste and hadn’t realized she was one of those who disliked her.
She trembled as she said, "You must not tell anyone about this, or I will die." Then, as if recalling something, she laughed and added, "If I die, won't you be the same? Don't you like her?"
"That's right, but I'm not afraid of dying. What about you?"
After saying this, he placed the empty bottle on the bench and walked away.
"Hey! I don't believe you're not afraid. No one in this world is truly unafraid of death."
Zhuang Lingtian waved his hand dismissively and entered the basketball court.
Ever since his father passed away, he spent most of his time playing basketball until he was utterly exhausted. He was a single child; his mother had left when he was very young, so his father raised him alone. His father was an honest man, and it was difficult for a man to raise a child alone—being both father and mother was no easy task. Although he wanted to provide him with a complete family, he feared that remarrying would lead to someone mistreating his son. Therefore, he never remarried. Zhuang Lingtian was also a very understanding child; after he became aware of their situation, he helped his father with household chores. He learned to cook and do laundry at a young age and told his father to go work while he took care of home. His father appreciated his maturity and felt reassured working outside. Perhaps their sincerity moved heaven; his father built a small company that gradually prospered, changing their lives for the better.
However, just when he thought about having his father remarry, tragedy struck as his father died in an accident. How could he bear such loss?
On the basketball court, tears or sweat streamed down his face onto the ground, causing concern among nearby female classmates who dared not approach him because they all understood why he was feeling so down.
"At this rate, his body won't be able to handle it," a girl said with concern.
"Yeah! And he's playing under such sad circumstances; it's really harmful to his health!" another girl added.
"Mm, but who can go and talk to him?"
The girls shook their heads, knowing that would only lead to rejection.
"Maybe only that person can."
One girl who had been silent suddenly spoke up.
"Who?" the others asked.
"Don't you all know who he likes?"
"This... we know! It's that person!"
Unknowingly, Su Jin'er's name had become a taboo among them; no one dared to mention it lightly, as if it were a plague that could bring them doom. Fear of her had taken hold of everyone.
Meanwhile, in the detention center, Su Jin'er was unaware of all this. She quietly hugged her legs while sitting on the bed, looking at the sky through the only window. Her expression was blank, as if nothing could evoke any emotional response from her anymore.
It had been three days since she entered the detention center, and indeed no one had come to see her. She hadn't heard of anyone else dying either; perhaps this method was truly effective!
Moreover, without her phone, the Killer couldn't contact her anymore! This was really good!
Thinking of this, a smile slowly crept onto her lips.
Footsteps echoed from outside; she didn't need to look to know who it was.
Sure enough, it was Captain Xing. She had already stated that no matter who came to see her, she wouldn't meet with anyone, including Chu Feifan.
"How is it? Any clues?" She asked as she got off the bed.
Captain Xing shook his head. "The nurse was killed after being drugged, and Mao Qiang had no other injuries besides the marks from the rope. However, I can't help but wonder if the death of the person in Zhuo Xiaoman's dormitory is really connected to this case. It feels so strange to me! What do you think?"
Su Jin'er shook her head. "If you can't figure it out, how could I possibly know?"
"Hehe, you must have some thoughts. Go ahead and share!"
"I don't know if Zhuo Xiaoman's case is related to this one, but I think if they aren't connected, these two killers might have reached some sort of consensus or are already collaborating."
"How so?"
After thinking for a moment, she said, "These two cases seem unrelated, yet they also seem connected. The key figure here is Qin Yu. I don't understand why you haven't interrogated her."
"I knew you would ask that question. But as you saw last time, she denies everything. Even though Hao Hongtao said those things were done at her request, she wants us to provide evidence. The problem is, after all this time, we have no evidence at all. We only know that those who died had some connection to her, but that doesn't prove she killed them!"
Captain Xing was right; Su Jin'er had anticipated this outcome. However, since she was involved in the case, Captain Xing shouldn't be afraid of a student. Why was that?
Could it be that Qin Yu has connections?
With this thought in mind, Su Jin'er looked at Captain Xing with suspicion, making him feel uneasy.
"Don't look at me like that; just ask whatever you want!"
"Even so, you should still question her! You might find some clues! Unless Qin Yu has some trump card that makes you afraid to interrogate her."
"Hehe!" Captain Xing laughed awkwardly.
"It seems I'm not wrong; I just wonder who that person is!"
Captain Xing thought for a long time before saying, "Alright! I admit that we really can't interrogate her until we find strong evidence."
"Haha, I think that's why she was so calm when I asked her last time! Because she knows very well that nothing will happen to her, and you all wouldn't dare to make things difficult for her, right?"
"You are very clever."
"Captain Xing, I know that even though you are the captain and have your own difficulties, a good police officer should not fear power in many situations. I believe you will be a good police officer."
Su Jin'er’s words made Captain Xing's face turn red instantly. He awkwardly coughed twice and then said, "Well, I'll take my leave now. If you think of any useful clues, remember to tell me. Also, it's not a solution for you to stay here all the time. After all, we have no evidence proving you are the Killer, so you must leave within fifteen days at most."
Su Jin'er tilted her head and said, "Then you should catch the Killer within those fifteen days! Three days have already passed, leaving twelve days."
Su Jin'er said with a mischievous smile.
Captain Xing raised an eyebrow and prepared to leave. Just as he reached the door, he stopped and said, "I almost forgot, Chu Feifan has been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating in his dormitory."
"How is his wound healing?"
"The doctor said it's good; new tissue is slowly growing."
"Thank you! I believe you are a good police officer; please don't let me down!"
After walking a distance outside, he smiled and said, "This girl really has a sharp tongue; just one sentence made me have to bring Qin Yu back!"
With that, he left with a smile.
Chu Feifan had returned to his dormitory. Since he couldn't move around freely yet, he could only lie in bed. The counselor had come to see him, but more of his visitors were female classmates. Some even boldly suggested that he break up with Su Jin'er, claiming she was an ominous person. Although he felt sad hearing his classmates say that, he still politely sent them away.
"Hey! I've noticed your charm is growing stronger!" Zuo Yi lay on the bed with his hands behind his head.
"But there are also quite a few people pursuing you!"
"Haha, too bad I'm not interested in any of them."
"I wonder how she is doing? It's strange that she won't let us see her."
"Maybe she's afraid of dragging us down," Zuo Yi said, looking at the ceiling.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
"In that case, how did those girls get in? Aren't girls not allowed in the boys' dormitory?" Chu Feifan asked to ease the awkwardness.
"They're not supposed to! But you don't know, those girls nearly overwhelmed the manager. If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but as you saw, there were almost thirty of them, so they made an exception this time."
Chu Feifan was left speechless.
He had heard the rumors about Su Jin'er too, but no matter how others viewed her, he firmly believed she was the only person he would ever love in his life. No one could separate them, especially since Su Jin'er had already kissed him first! So no matter what happened, he wouldn't let go.
Zuo Yi's eyes were filled with sadness; he must be feeling very upset.
