"Get…get a room?"
"That's right!"
"Priest Wu, it's not appropriate for us to get a room, right?”
"Get a room with two single beds. You said it yourself. I'm already at this age. What else do you have to worry about?”
" Alright then. I've heard that there's indeed something strange going on at school recently. It's safer to be with you, but I'm still a little worried. Why don't I call my family..."
When the sky was getting dark, Su Xiaoyu finally agreed to Jiang Feng's request.
Jiang Feng also felt quite helpless. Now that he had become Priest Wu, even though he had Charm, he was still an old man. No matter how much Charm he had, it was useless.
If he were to become his original self, it would probably not be difficult to trick a seven-percent girl like Su Xiaoyu into getting a room.
Besides, Su Xiaoyu was staying with him out of consideration for her safety. Why did it seem like he really wanted to do something to her?
Jiang Feng brought Su Xiaoyu to a medium-sized hotel near the school.
After opening the room, Jiang Feng locked the door and drew the curtains.
Su Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the bed, said with a smile.
"Priest Wu, I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Is it time to take a shower next?”
"Of course I have to take a shower! However, you're the one who's showering, and I'm not. I can't let you leave my sight for the next few days.”
Su Xiaoyu sneered.
"Heh, if I don't leave your sight, does that mean I have to leave the door open when I take a shower?”
"What do you mean by that!"
"Nothing!"
Su Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and turned around to walk into the bathroom.
Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the bed, heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and he was relieved.
Protecting a living person was not an easy task. Now that the two of them were in the same room, they could indeed take care of him.
However, he could not stay in the hotel all the time. Once he walked out of the hotel and went outside, Su Xiaoyu would still be in danger.
The first two missions required a long process, and the third mission was to investigate the truth of the matter, which was also a long process.
However, he did not have much time left.
Jiang Feng turned on his phone. The news did not continue to report about the strange incident at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This meant that the police might not have found any useful clues, which was not good news for Jiang Feng.
The police had no clues, and he was fighting alone. The difficulty level had increased sharply.
Bang bang bang!
Jiang Feng was startled by the sudden knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Open the door! Police."
As the saying went, if one did not do anything wrong, one would not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Jiang Feng did not do anything wrong, and the person outside the door was not a ghost.
When he heard that it was the police, Jiang Feng quickly opened the door.
The door opened. There were two police officers standing outside, a man and a woman.
He did not know the man, but Jiang Feng had an impression of the woman. Wasn't she the police officer who said that she would protect him?
Jiang Feng was both surprised and reasonable that she could appear here.
She was in charge of her own neighborhood, and An City University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was also in this area. If a strange case happened in the university, she would definitely have to investigate it.
But the strange thing was, how did she find this place?
"Priest Wu, right?" the male police officer asked.
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded.
"You followed me here. Don't you know who I am?”
"Cut the crap. We asked you to investigate something. We hope you can cooperate!”The male police officer said with a serious expression.
"Cooperate! I will definitely cooperate! Helping you is helping myself! The principal of Chinese Medicine asked me to clarify this matter. I was still worried. It's good that you're here. Please come in!”
Jiang Feng invited the two policemen into the house.
At this moment, Su Xiaoyu, who had just finished showering, walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her.
"Priest Wu, this is…"
Jiang Feng smiled." Don't be nervous. The police are here to investigate something. It has nothing to do with you."”
The male policeman looked at Su Xiaoyu suspiciously.
"Who is she?"
"A student from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”
"What's your relationship with him?"
"It's a long story."
"You two booked a room?"
"We slept in separate beds!"
"Tell me, why did you bring her here?”
Jiang Feng pursed his lips and helplessly told the police what happened that day.
"In other words, you brought her out to protect her? The school also knows about this."
"Of course! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to bring her out!”
The policeman asked as he doodled in his notebook.
Then, he suddenly put down his pen.
"In other words, this is your modus operandi?”
Jiang Feng looked at the policeman in confusion.
"What do you mean? What's the modus operandi? I want to save people, not harm people. Why did I commit a crime!？”
"Stop pretending! You used your identity as a Taoist priest to deceive the school leaders and the victim. Then, you created an opportunity to be alone with the victim. If we had come a little later today, this girl would have been in danger!”
Jiang Feng scratched his head.
"I don't understand what you're saying. I think there must be a misunderstanding between us.”
The policeman took out a few photos and handed them to Jiang Feng.
"Before we found you, we already contacted the school leaders and went to the rooftop you mentioned just now. Take a closer look at these photos and tell us the truth.”
Jiang Feng looked at the photo in his hand carefully.
The photos were all of the paper people on the rooftop.
However, most of the attention was focused on the broken cross-section of the iron skeleton.
"Damn it! No way!"
Jiang Feng suddenly saw the way.
The cross-sections of the broken skeletons of the Paper Man were unusually clean. There were almost no traces of erosion by wind, sand, rain, or even rust.
The broken mark was new.
"Do you remember now, Priest Wu? The cross-sections of the two broken iron skeletons were brand new.”
"According to our professional judgment, the first paper figurine was broken less than a week ago. The supporting skeleton at the bottom of the second paper figurine has traces of being cut by a hacksaw. In other words, once the wind is stronger, it will naturally break.”
"In other words, these two paper figurines were artificially broken. The school leaders thought that it was metaphysics, but in fact, they had to be broken.”
"And the time from the appearance of the mysterious kidney is also within seven days. According to what you explained to the school leaders, every paper figurine that is broken will put one person in danger. You are the only person who knows metaphysics and has the conditions to commit the crime!”
Jiang Feng said as if he was enlightened.
" In other words, I got someone to unlock the rooftop in advance, then broke a paper figurine skeleton. After breaking a paper figurine skeleton, I first killed a person corresponding to the position of the gossip. Then, I used the school leader's panic and superstition to ask this girl out. With the excuse of protection, I made a move on her and created a metaphysical serial murder.”
The policeman smiled and nodded.
"Priest Wu, you're very vengeful. The school didn't look for you and neglected you, but you wanted to make some big news. Is this your motive for committing the crime?”
