A life for a life is the law of nature. Feng Lili's request is understandable, and I agreed to it anyway. But since she was killed by someone back then, she should be investigated. It doesn't seem like it's my turn to solve it!
She saw through my doubts and continued to explain," My ghost was very weak and could only move around the lake. At most, it would wander around the edge of the library. Later, I heard a passing student mention that I accidentally drowned, so the matter was left unsettled!”
This sounded simple, but it was actually a little troublesome. If they had already determined that Feng Lili was an accident, there was no need to investigate. However, she approached me in such a way and entrusted her to me, making me believe that her story was true. Then, who exactly had such a huge grudge against her that she had to kill a little girl who was not even twenty years old back then?
"Don't worry. Since I've promised you, I'll investigate. However, you have to be obedient during this period of time. Don't come out and scare people again!”I still remembered how she had seduced me with her beauty and suddenly turned into a terrible hole in her face.
"Su Li, you're thinking too much about this. Other than you, no one else has come to this lake at night for more than two years. In the beginning, there were some boys who didn't know their place. After being scared by me, they went back and spread the news. This way, no one would come and disturb me.”Feng Lili said.
"No one for more than two years? The boy you mentioned before was Liu Xiaoquan. He never came after you died?”I asked.
Feng Lili's face turned sullen again. She shook her head unhappily.
If I'm not wrong, Feng Lili's first reaction would be the same as mine. The person who killed her was most likely Liu Xiaoquan. However, they were still a first love couple. Even if Liu Xiaoquan no longer loved her, he shouldn't have gone to such an extreme. There must be something fishy going on.
In any case, I had achieved my goal of coming to the lakeside for the second time, so I went back to the security room first to avoid worrying that uncle again. When I got back, I didn't idle. Uncle saw that I was fine and happily chatted with me, but I really didn't have the mood to listen. I barely managed to cope with some words. When it was time for me to rest in the middle of the night, I lived in the dormitory arranged by the school.
" Three years ago, Feng Lili enrolled in Ocean University and was a freshman. Liu Xiaoquan was in the same year as her. Three years later, if nothing unexpected happened to him, he should be graduating soon. I'm not sure about this person's current situation, but if I want to help Feng Lili find out who killed her, I must first understand Liu Xiaoquan's current situation.
From the information he had, if Feng Lili was telling the truth, then Liu Xiaoquan was the only one who had the means to commit the crime. This was because he was the only one who knew the time and place of the meeting with Feng Lili. Moreover, after Feng Lili died, he didn't even dare to go to the place where his girlfriend died. This seemed to indicate that he had a guilty conscience.
Tossing and turning, I still couldn't fall asleep. Maybe I fainted and slept too much last night. I kept thinking about Feng Lili's pitiful crying figure. I wasn't sleepy at all, so I called Li Changtian.
"Hey…"
"Hello, big brother!" A yawning voice could be heard from the other end of the phone. It was full of complaints." Brother Su Li, can't you let me sleep? What time is it now?!"”
"I'm really sorry, I can't sleep. I have something to discuss with the vice-principal. Can you give me his phone number?”
"Brother, I'm begging you. It's fine if you disturb me. If you call the vice-principal in the middle of the night, people who don't know will think you're crazy!”
Li Changtian finally decided not to give me his number. This was the first time he refused my request since we met. However, he promised to come over at dawn and take me to the vice principal.
The next day, Li Changtian arrived as promised. He seemed to have gained some weight after not seeing him for a few days. It seemed that he got along well with Li Xiangling in the hospital and had a good appetite. He had already made arrangements beforehand. The vice-principal was waiting for us in the office, so we went straight to him.
"Changtian, Little Su, come in and sit.”The vice-principal greeted us politely.
"You don't have to be so polite. We're here this time because we want to ask you something. It's about something that happened in school three years ago.”I went straight to the point. I felt that my eloquence wasn't good enough and I didn't know how to beat around the bush, so I might as well say it directly.
The vice-principal did not think that there was anything wrong with it. He was still smiling and said," Little Su, if you want to ask something, just ask as soon as possible. I also came here three years ago. If it's been too long, I'm afraid I won't know.”
So, I asked Feng Lili about her drowning.
He was quite surprised when he heard that. His smile was a little stiff, but he did not lose his composure." I didn't expect you to hear about the old things that happened three years ago just after you started working here for two days! Yes, there was indeed a freshman girl who jumped into the lake and drowned, but it was an accident. Later, the authorities also investigated and found that she had lost her footing and died. There were no signs of external injuries or poisoning, so not many people knew.”
The vice-principal didn't hide anything. He told me everything. Of course, I knew that he did it for Li Changtian's sake. Otherwise, he would have kicked me out.
"So the school didn't suspect anything else? For example, what if someone pushed him?”I asked in detail according to the real case.
The vice-principal was stunned for a moment. He smiled and said to us again," Haha, young man, you think too much. Have you read too many mystery novels?”
"Aiya, if you know anything, tell us. We're just curious!”Li Changtian helped me smooth things over. Since he spoke, he meant that the other party had to tell the truth.
"I don't remember the details, but the girl went to the lake for a date with her boyfriend. However, her boyfriend had something to do that night and didn't go. Someone verified for the boy that he didn't leave the house the whole night, and no one in school saw him that day, so the girl was there alone. Many students who were by the lake that night could testify to this. When they left, the girl was still waiting by the lake alone. No one else approached, so it was impossible for her to be harmed.”
This was exactly what Feng Lili had said. However, after all the students left, the invisible black hands suddenly attacked. Unfortunately, there was no third person by the lake at that time.
Even if I had an alibi, I couldn't just give up on Liu Xiaoquan's suspicion just because of the vice-principal's one-sided statement. So, I still asked for his address and decided to pay him a visit personally.
Liu Xiaoquan was in his fourth year of university. He had no more classes, so he didn't stay in school. Instead, he stayed at home in the city. In fact, he often stayed at home during his university days. It was said that he was helping his family with some business matters.
Changtian drove me back to City H. Liu Xiaoquan's house was in a residential area not far from Changtian's. According to Changtian, the people gathered there weren't rich, but they were at least upper-middle class.
According to the address provided by the vice-principal, I rang the doorbell of Liu Xiaoquan's house. After ringing it three times, the door opened. A thin but delicate boy dressed in sleepiness stood in front of the door.
"Who are you looking for?" The boy asked coldly.
"You must be Liu Xiaoquan. I'm a friend of a friend of yours.”
This reason sounded a little strange, but I really couldn't think of how to introduce myself. I couldn't say that I was a security guard of Ocean University, right? It seemed even more unreasonable for me to come to a student's house.
He obviously didn't understand what I meant. He continued to ask," I'm Liu Xiaoquan. Which friend of mine sent you here?”
"Feng Lili."
These three words were like a shot in the arm. It made the seemingly dispirited youth in front of us regain his spirit, or more accurately, he was frightened. He widened his eyes in surprise and looked at us as if he had seen a ghost.
I didn't want him to be too hostile to me, but I felt that he was too suspicious. I was a little angry because I had a preconceived notion. I still said to him calmly," I'm Feng Lili's friend. She died suddenly three years ago without leaving a word. At that time, you were her boyfriend, so I came today to ask you if you knew the truth about Lili's death. Also, why did you suddenly break up with her?”
Liu Xiaoquan subconsciously lowered his head and looked down at his feet. This was an obvious dodging posture. He clearly knew the inside story, but he kept it a secret. Was it because he really had difficulties or because he was the murderer?
"I'm sorry!" Liu Xiaoquan first apologized before rejecting my question." These are all matters of the past. I don't want to bring them up again, so I'm afraid I can't answer your questions. I hope you won't bother about them anymore."”
"At least, as a friend, I have to ask you on behalf of Feng Lili. You were her boyfriend at that time. Why didn't you go and pay your respects to her when she died in the lake at school?”This was the most depressing question for Feng Lili, other than finding the murderer, so I asked the person involved on her behalf. But as soon as I said it, I regretted it immediately because I shouldn't have known about this.
As expected, Liu Xiaoquan also noticed that something was wrong. He asked," How did you know that I didn't go to the lake in the past three years? Have you been monitoring me?"
For a moment, I was speechless. I had to pay a price for my impulsiveness, causing me to fall into a passive position before I could achieve my goal. The two of us stood at the door and looked at each other. The atmosphere was awkward.
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
