It's ridiculous, isn't it?

The jealousy of people is so terrifying.

For one's own selfish desires, one can unhesitatingly betray their classmates.

So when I discovered that she posted the thread, I was really angry, because she indirectly killed a living person!

"And then you took action against Zhang Lu?" Captain Zhou asked me with a complex expression.

His clearly pointed question made me slap the table uncontrollably.

"I didn't. Ding Dang made the first move!"

After Zhang Lu confessed everything to us, she tried to run away to avoid being accused by us.

But her intention was seen through in advance by her roommate Ding Dang, who lived in bed No. 4 of the dormitory. So before Zhang Lu could escape, Ding Dang picked up the laptop on the operation table and knocked her out, with a force heavy enough to damage her brain nerves directly.

"That person said that only by killing the real culprit who caused Li Mengyan's death could we leave, and Ding Dang wanted to survive." I explained to Captain Zhou.

After listening, Captain Zhou rotated the pen in his hand thoughtfully.

"But she didn’t leave as she wished, because someone among you stopped her."

While speaking, he took out a few photos and laid them one by one in front of me.

They were injury examination photos taken of Ding Dang after she was rescued by the police and sent to the hospital.

There were long, thin scratch marks all over her neck and arms, and the wounds were deep.

Captain Zhou stared at me, his gaze gradually turning icy.

"After you were hospitalized, the police conducted forensic tests on the wounds on your bodies."

"Your skin tissue was found in Ding Dang's wounds, which means that after she knocked out Zhang Lu, you attacked her immediately."

He pointed to the photos on the table, speaking very slowly.

And at that moment, my heart suddenly started beating faster.

"Xia Qianqian."

Captain Zhou called my name calmly, his gaze like a giant net that tightly bound me, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

"I am listening to your explanation."

"Why did you harm Ding Dang?"

I couldn't help but shiver, looking at those photos as I slowly lowered my head.

"Because, because Zhang Lu wasn’t the only culprit..."

After Ding Dang knocked Zhang Lu out, she shouted at the speaker above her head, asking him to let us go.

But that person said the game was far from over.

He refused to open the door to let us go, which made Ding Dang suddenly become violent.

She lost her mind and found an iron rod in the control room, intending to break the lock on the front door and run downstairs.

But as soon as she stepped out, she was frightened and screamed.

That scene, I think I will never forget in my lifetime.

After hearing Ding Dang's scream, I rushed out immediately and saw Li Mengyan's face suddenly appearing in the prop mirror hanging on the wall outside the control room. Next to that face was a big number "4".

"It was soap water. The perpetrator drew Li Mengyan’s face and the number on the mirror beforehand using soap water, and then placed the mirror at the position of the air conditioning vent. Since the air conditioner was blowing warm air, the cold mirror revealed what you saw once it encountered the heat."

Captain Zhou explained to me from a professional perspective.

I couldn't help but laugh: "I see..."

But at that time, I was already scared stiff. The only thing I could think of was that this was the second clue provided by the perpetrator.

And this clue also meant that Zhang Lu was not the person he was really looking for.

My gaze wandered back and forth between Ding Dang and another roommate. After thinking for a moment, a picture slowly emerged.

This "4" pointed to Ding Dang.

If there was any personal grievance between Ding Dang and Li Mengyan, it had to start from the day the new students reported and chose their beds.

I mentioned earlier that on the day of reporting, I arrived the earliest and chose a good bed.

Li Mengyan was the second to arrive and slept right next to me.

Because everyone had superstitions, the two who came afterward deliberately avoided bed No. 4 and left it for Ding Dang.

But Ding Dang had a severe princess syndrome. She proposed to exchange beds with Li Mengyan, who was in bed No. 3, but Li Mengyan refused. The two had a big fight over it, and it finally ended under the counselor’s mediation.

For the entire semester after that, Ding Dang was cold towards Li Mengyan.

It wasn't until the second year, when Ding Dang had too many failing grades and had to borrow Li Mengyan's study notes to make up credits, that their relationship somewhat eased.

It was because of this point that I didn't suspect Ding Dang at first.

But at that moment, her eyes full of fear and guilt as she lay on the ground undoubtedly betrayed her.

So based on this information, I questioned her whether she had hidden anything from us.

Under my relentless pressure, Ding Dang finally couldn't withstand the mental stress and revealed a piece of shocking news—

It turned out that on the night Li Mengyan jumped off the building, she wasn't asleep at all. She watched Li Mengyan climb up the balcony step by step without stopping her!
