I’m a security guard who works the night shift.
At night, I would secretly slip into the girls’ dormitory to steal things while avoiding the surveillance cameras.
But tonight, when I sneaked into Dormitory 404 as usual, I was scared half to death.
Because as soon as I entered the door, right in front of me was a body hanging from the ceiling!
01
Did someone commit suicide!?
I was so frightened that I collapsed on the ground, but still subconsciously covered my mouth, not daring to make a sound, for fear of alarming the others in the dormitory.
The scene in front of me was truly terrifying.
I summoned up the courage and swept my weak flashlight over it.
It was clearly a face with distorted features. Under the pressure of the rope, the eyeballs of the corpse seemed about to bulge out.
And there were scratches on the face from struggling, and there was still residual blood on the neck.
It seemed that the person had just hanged themselves not long ago.
This wasn’t a prank. Someone had really died!
Although student suicides were rare, they weren’t impossible.
Originally, this kind of thing wasn’t my concern.
But now the bad thing was that I had witnessed it, and I had to leave the scene immediately.
Then come back in a proper capacity to handle it so that my theft wouldn’t be exposed.
I forced myself to suppress my nausea and calm down.
At this time, I discovered an even more frightening thing.
The dormitory was actually empty!
This couldn’t be possible.
Our school has very strict penalties for being out late. One violation would result in a disciplinary action, and two would lead to suspension.
Moreover, after the curfew, the dormitory aunt would come up to patrol once.
How could everyone in a dormitory disappear?
And when I chatted casually with the dormitory aunt earlier to gather information, she didn’t mention this at all.
I started to panic a little.
Was this premeditated?
Combined with the wounds on the body, I was a bit shocked.
Could this be a murder!?
02
This idea was completely confirmed when I touched the door handle.
I originally just wanted to leave immediately.
But terrifyingly, the door was locked!
To be exact, it was blocked, because I couldn’t open it from the inside.
I tried to use a wire to get out as I had done before, but the lock was stuffed full, and the wire couldn’t get in at all.
My heart immediately clenched.
Because when I unlocked it just now, it was clear.
Now it was blocked, as if someone had set a trap, deliberately let me in, and then locked me in.
The purpose was obvious, and it was this hanging body.
Someone wanted to make me the scapegoat!
What was even more unbelievable to me was how they knew my whereabouts!?
03
I’ve been at this school for three months.
In the first month, I almost walked through every corner of the campus. I knew exactly where there were surveillance cameras, where the blind spots were.
Even where there might be students coming back late climbing over the wall or young couples sneaking into the grove.
After that, in the next two months, I started sneaking into the girls’ dormitory.
Under the pretext of helping the air-conditioning repairman carry tools, I secretly loosened one of the fence bars in the surveillance blind spot of the dormitory with pliers.
Once the iron bar of the fence was removed, a gap wide enough for one person appeared.
After that, every night, I would first greet the dormitory aunt at the entrance and then secretly come back and slip in through this gap.
When I got to the student dormitory, I would first blow the prepared knockout drug through the crack of the door.
It was hot, and the dormitories had their doors and windows sealed when the air conditioners were on, so the knockout drug took effect quickly.
After waiting for ten minutes, I would then use a wire to pry open the door lock and enter the dormitory.
The reason I went to so much trouble was that there were people at the school flea market who specifically bought these girls’ private photos and offered quite a generous price.
And my identity as a security guard was the best disguise.
I photographed one dormitory a day, and today it happened to be Dormitory 404.
Everything had been going smoothly before, but today I encountered such a thing.
04
Coincidence, it was all too coincidental.
I was completely panicked now. Originally, I was the one taking advantage of the information gap and my position to hide in the dark.
Now it seemed that I was like a monkey being toyed with.
That was what scared me the most.
If they really grasped my weakness, wouldn’t they be able to threaten and report me at any time? If I went to jail, my life would be ruined.
And there was an even more serious matter at present.
Someone had died, and I was going to be framed for it!
This could lead to a death sentence.
I took a deep breath. There wasn’t much time left.
I had to find another way to leave this room first.
Otherwise, the longer I stayed, the more variables there would be.
Currently, besides the door, there was another way to leave, which was to climb down along the water pipe on the outer wall from the balcony.
Although it was extremely dangerous, I couldn’t care about that much at this moment.
But just as I turned around, there were footsteps coming from outside the door, and they were getting clearer and clearer, as if they were coming towards Dormitory 404!
05
I looked around and finally had to quickly hide under the bed.
At the moment I crouched down,
the dormitory door was opened, and two people walked in.
They chatted casually.
“Didn’t he come?”
“Impossible. I clearly calculated that he would come to our dormitory today. He’s so short of money, he should have come…”
As soon as these words came out, I was immediately horrified. So it was really their conspiracy.
And my seemingly smooth infiltration had already been exposed.
I was just a pawn in her plan.
Even I began to suspect that the transactions at the flea market were probably a big net they had set up themselves!
I had been chosen by them long ago, and they were just waiting to close the net tonight.
“Then what should we do? If he doesn’t come, what should we do with Zeng Yi…”
“What are you panicking for! She committed suicide anyway. If neither of us says anything, who will know.”
So the girl who committed suicide was named Zeng Yi.
I knew her because this girl almost always returned to the dormitory just in time from the library and went to the library early in the morning.
It happened to be around my shift time.
However, I hadn’t seen her for over half a month. It was as if she had disappeared.
The reason I remembered her so clearly was that once when I finished my night shift, I saw her squatting in front of the dormitory door crying.
I went up to ask: “Classmate, are you feeling unwell?”
Zeng Yi turned her head, and there was a clearly visible palm print on her face.
At that time, I guessed that she might have been bullied on campus.
But she said, “It’s nothing.”
Then she hurriedly turned and left.
But soon, a boy came out from the dark and took out a bloody fruit knife from where she had squatted!
This Zeng Yi seemed to be hiding some secrets too.
06
“But don’t you forget? There are so many wounds on her body that you inflicted. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to frame that perverted security guard.”
“She deserved it. Who told her to pretend to be so studious all day but wasn’t even willing to take an exam for me? A poor wretch. Isn’t she just after more money…”
The noise of the two girls’ quarrel pulled me back from my memories.
I lay flat under the bed and stretched my neck.
Hearing their quarrel made me feel a chill in my heart.
Did they kill Zeng Yi just for such a trifle!?
Was a human life so worthless in their eyes?
“And you! Stop pretending to be so innocent. Haven’t you always been angry that she stole your crush? Now that this bitch is dead, no one will compete with you. And don’t think I don’t know. You haven’t let her off either. Weren’t the files on her computer and her usual notes all secretly deleted by you? And those rumors on the campus wall, don’t think I don’t know it was you who spread them!”
“……”
The dormitory became quiet. It seemed that the other person was persuaded.
With their evil deeds exposed, they reached a consensus at this moment.
I didn’t dare to move under the bed and prayed that these two people would be knocked out by the remaining knockout drug.
But I didn’t expect that they knew me so well!
“Sure enough, there’s the smell of knockout drug. Fortunately, we brought masks in advance!”
“He really came, but where is he now!? Has he left already?”
“Impossible. He always unlocks the door with a wire. We’ve already blocked the inside of the lock in advance. He can’t possibly open the door and escape!”
“Then only the window is left, but how could he climb down so quickly on the fourth floor…”
I was sweating coldly under the bed as I listened.
They even prepared masks and knew how I pried open the door. I felt completely exposed in front of them.
“Unless, he’s still in the room!”
07
As soon as these words came out, I immediately froze.
Oh no! If they checked the room, I would definitely be found.
After all, there were only so few places to hide in this dormitory.
Either in the wardrobe or under the bed!
I anxiously thought of a way, and the voices outside stopped talking in unison.
Instead, there were the sounds of rummaging around.
They had already started looking for me!
As the sound of the wardrobe being opened came, my heart was in my throat.
At this moment, I remembered the dormitory aunt downstairs.
To conveniently monitor her every move, I would pass by her place every time I came.
I would turn on a spare mobile phone to record videos and know her every move.
Usually, I wished she would stay downstairs in the office playing with her phone all night.
But now I desperately needed her to help me out of this situation.
In a hurry, I directly dialed the number of the spare mobile phone.
As soon as the dormitory aunt answered, I immediately hung up.
Then I edited a message saying that there was a student who committed suicide in Dormitory 404 and sent it out.
I believed that she would come up to check the situation anyway.
Sure enough, soon there were hurried footsteps in the dormitory corridor.
Finally, this made the two of them stop searching.
The two girls stood vigilantly behind the door, listening to the footsteps outside getting closer and closer.
I started to feel nervous for the dormitory aunt. Wouldn’t they kill the dormitory aunt in desperation!?
But at this moment, I could hardly protect myself.
However, what I didn’t expect was that when the dormitory aunt arrived at Dormitory 404, she directly opened the door and came in.
08
The dormitory aunt gasped for breath: “What’s going on? Why haven’t you caught him yet? And now people know that someone died in Dormitory 404!”
The two girls took a sharp breath: “People know? Who!?”
“Could it be that we’ve already been exposed?”
The dormitory aunt: “It shouldn’t be. The message was sent from an unknown mobile phone. If she didn’t have other motives, she could have just called the police directly. Why go to the trouble of notifying me.”
The girl: “So, she’s also someone who can’t afford to see the police.”
I hid under the bed and felt my scalp tingle. They actually knew each other!
And it seemed that this plot to frame me was also their conspiracy.
It seemed that I was really doomed this time. Because of my action just now, I also lured the dormitory aunt out. Now that my identity was exposed, they definitely wanted me dead.
The dormitory aunt’s tone became a bit angry: “I guess it might be a student from the neighboring dormitory who saw you kill someone and is using this to threaten us for money. But how did she know that I’m with you guys?”
The girl: “If she saw us kill someone, then we must kill her too! Otherwise, it’ll be like a time bomb that will explode sooner or later!”
I became more and more frightened as I listened under the bed. Were these people really students and a dormitory aunt?
Why could they talk about killing a person so casually!?
The dormitory aunt: “Anyone who discovers our secret must be killed. But the problem now is that she’s hiding in the dark. I’ll try to delay her for a while. You two quickly find that security guard. We really don’t have much time!”
As the dormitory aunt finished speaking, the two girls started rummaging around again.
My heart immediately rose to my throat again. The situation was even more complicated now.
With the dormitory aunt added, there were at least three people who wanted to kill me now.
And from what they said, I could tell that this was definitely not a simple murder case caused by a conflict among students. And they definitely wouldn’t let me go!
09
At the same time, I also received a message from the dormitory aunt on my mobile phone.
She was using my spare phone to send me a text message: “Who are you? What do you want? I can satisfy you, but you must come out and we’ll talk face to face!”
I didn’t have time to reply to her message because right in front of me, a pair of feet stopped.
Oh no! They were about to find me.
At this moment, a scream came from the neighboring dormitory.
“Someone’s killing people!”
Instantly, the girls’ attention was attracted over there, and the pair of feet left in front of me.
Before I could be grateful for this scream that saved my life, I heard the two girls say: “Why did you make such a big noise!?”
The dormitory aunt: “It wasn’t me. I just patrolled around the neighboring dormitories. As a result, I really found a girl sneaking around on the phone. I originally wanted to catch her, but unexpectedly, she noticed me.”
The girl: “Then what should we do? Did she recognize you?”
The dormitory aunt: “No, but she was killed by someone, and I don’t know who!”
The girl: “Dead!?”
Then their voices became smaller and smaller, as if they left the dormitory.
I was also confused. Why was there another death!?
And this time, there seemed to be another murderer!
This wasn’t a good thing, but it was a rare opportunity for me now.
I immediately crawled out from under the bed and then climbed out of the window.
Although there was a water pipe outside the wall of the dormitory, since it was the girls’ dormitory, for safety reasons, the side from the third floor to the bottom was empty, and I couldn’t climb down at all.
Now I could only find another dormitory to hide in first.
And I remembered that the scream just now came from the right side. And since the dormitory aunt wanted to find out who was threatening her, she would definitely start checking from the two nearest dormitories on either side.
So Dormitory 403 was my last chance.
But I didn’t expect that when I climbed in, I discovered something even more terrifying!
10
Dormitory 403 was pitch-dark.
I walked on tiptoe, afraid of waking up the people inside.
But after just a few steps, I seemed to kick something.
At this time, I realized that there seemed to be a puddle of water in Dormitory 403, and the soles of my feet were already sticky from walking through it.
What was going on?
Trembling, I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone, and was so scared that I collapsed on the ground when I saw the scene in front of me.
It turned out that what I had just kicked was actually a corpse.
This was the girl who lived in Dormitory 403, because I had just taken pictures of her yesterday.
Unexpectedly, she had been killed, and judging from the blood all over the floor, there were probably more than just her who were dead!
Probably the whole of Dormitory 403 was dead, including the girl who had just run out.
Who on earth was the killer?
I could confirm that it shouldn’t be the dormitory aunt and the two girls from Dormitory 404.
Because they didn’t need to put on an act in front of me. Besides, they had almost found me.
Their aim was just to make me the scapegoat, and there was no reason for them to kill the people in Dormitory 403.
The girl who had just run out should have mistaken the dormitory aunt who came to catch her as the killer, so the murderer she shouted about wasn’t the dormitory aunt, but someone else, someone even more ruthless!
Just as I was in a daze, there were footsteps at the door!
Could it be that the dormitory aunt and the two girls had come looking for me again?
I quickly turned around and hid in the wardrobe.
And through the gap in the wardrobe, I saw that the person who came in was actually a man.
11
He should be the killer who had killed everyone in Dormitory 403.
But his arrival was much more dangerous to me than the dormitory aunt and the two girls.
He covered his face with a mask, which was no small matter. It meant that at least there were people on this campus who could recognize him, proving that he should be quite familiar with this school.
The only lucky thing was that he didn’t seem to know that there was an extra me in Dormitory 403.
He put down his knife and sat down beside a corpse, picked up his mobile phone as if he was talking to someone.
At this time, coincidentally, my team leader suddenly sent me a message.
Normally, he didn’t work the night shift either. Why was he still thinking about me so late today?
Team leader: “Where the hell have you gone? I need to talk to you about something. Reply quickly.”
However, I seemed to see a glimmer of hope again. It would be great if the team leader could come and save me.
Then I could say that I had followed the strange man into the girls’ dormitory when I saw him enter.
As for the dormitory aunt and the girls from Dormitory 404, if they died, no one would be able to discover what I had done.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind.
I took out my mobile phone and sent a message to my spare phone: “I know you killed Zeng Yi. Don’t think you can just brush me off easily. If you want to talk face to face, come to Dormitory 403 alone.”
Then I replied to the security team leader: “Boss, help! I just followed a strange man into the girls’ dormitory, and he killed everyone in Dormitory 403!”
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but just as I sent this message, the man suddenly stared in my direction for a while. I didn’t know if I had somehow exposed myself.
I was so scared that I covered the screen of my mobile phone which I had already adjusted to the darkest setting.
I stared at him with my heart pounding.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to notice anything unusual and turned his head away again.
12
Security team leader: “Really? I’ll call the police. Where are you? I’ll come to find you now!”
I estimated that the time was about right: “I’m in Dormitory 403. Be careful when you come up.”
Just after I sent this message, the strange man in the room suddenly stood up, and he grasped the knife in his hand: “So there’s a little mouse hiding in the room! I didn’t expect you to come looking for death.”
Hearing the strange man’s words, my heart seemed to stop beating, and the blood in my whole body seemed to freeze.
How did he know I was in the room?
At this time, I remembered the message I had just sent to the security team leader. I didn’t expect that he had betrayed me.
Or maybe the team leader was already dead, and the strange man was holding his mobile phone.
But there was no time to think about that now. The most crucial thing was how to survive under the strange man’s hands.
The man searched for me much more roughly than the girls from Dormitory 404 just now. He slashed at the places where people might be hiding one by one.
If he found me, I would surely die!
And now I could only pray that the dormitory aunt would come quickly and bring the girls from Dormitory 404 with her. Otherwise, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to withstand even one slash from this strange man.
The strange man was getting closer and closer to me. Although I was quite confident in my plan and knew that the dormitory aunt would definitely come.
But now all the chances of survival depended on fate.
Hurry up, dormitory aunt!
Unexpectedly, at this time, the dormitory aunt who was supposed to kill me had become my last hope.
Just as the man stood in front of the wardrobe, there was finally a knock on the door.
Dormitory aunt: “Open the door. Let’s talk. There’s no need for us to fight and both lose.”
The man turned his head and looked at the door with a puzzled expression, as if he was confused by the dormitory aunt’s words.
13
After waiting for a while, the man still decided to open the door to take a look.
He hid the knife behind his back and slowly opened the door a crack.
Man: “Who are you?”
The dormitory aunt tilted her head, trying to see what was going on in Dormitory 403, but unfortunately, she was blocked tightly by the man.
Dormitory aunt: “Shouldn’t I be the one asking who you are? But it’s useless to say these things now. Just state your conditions quickly, and then we’ll pretend we’ve never met.”
The man seemed to be amused by the dormitory aunt’s words. He also lost his patience, and he grasped the knife tightly in his hand. It seemed that he had murderous intentions towards the dormitory aunt: “My conditions…”
At this time, I saw a figure quietly climbing into the room through the window.
It was a girl. I guessed it should be one of the two girls from Dormitory 404.
The dormitory aunt also seemed to sense the strange man’s murderous intent.
She suddenly shouted loudly: “Do it now!”
When the strange man was about to slash at the dormitory aunt with the knife, the girl who climbed in through the window suddenly stabbed the man in the back with a knife.
The strange man let out a cry of pain and casually threw the girl out.
She hit the wall hard and completely passed out.
The dormitory aunt also quickly took out a knife and stabbed at him.
But unexpectedly, the strange man didn’t dodge and took the stab. Then the knife in his hand fell and directly chopped off the dormitory aunt’s head!
I was shocked when I saw this. This guy was simply a murderous maniac. He didn’t even care about his own life when killing people.
And the most terrifying thing was that after killing the dormitory aunt, it would be my turn!
The man staggered towards the wardrobe. Although he was injured, I still wasn’t sure if I could escape from this murderous maniac.
At this moment, an unexpected person appeared at the door.
14
As a stick fell on the strange man’s head,
the man fell to the ground with a thud.
The person who came was the security team leader. He actually came to save me.
It seemed that I had misunderstood him. He wasn’t in cahoots with the strange man.
Then he was about to hit him again with the stick to finish him off. I quickly ran out of the wardrobe and shouted for him to stop, wanting to keep the man alive to figure out what was going on.
Unfortunately, the team leader couldn’t stop in time and hit the man hard on the head again with the stick.
Seeing that I was safe and sound, the team leader was also very happy: “Did I come in time? You’re really lucky!”
I also managed to force a smile. There had been too many life-and-death moments tonight, and I was completely exhausted.
But now wasn’t the time to relax, because unexpectedly, there was still a girl who hadn’t shown up.
If she knew my secret, according to the plan, she should have died at the hands of the strange man.
But now she was nowhere to be found.
Team leader: “Let’s go. Let’s go downstairs together. We’ll just leave these things for the police to handle.”
I didn’t choose to leave. Instead, I crouched down and wanted to take off the strange man’s mask.
Unexpectedly, he wasn’t dead yet!
He opened his eyes wide and gave me a look, which scared me so much that I took a few steps back. Taking advantage of this gap, he suddenly ran out.
And I also chased closely after him. The security team leader went around to intercept him.
Finally, at the corner of the stairs, he collapsed on the ground exhausted.
“I originally thought she was joking. I didn’t expect there would be someone so stupid…”
I was a bit confused: “Do you know me? Who the hell are you?”
“Hehe, you probably don’t know. I’m the person that bitch loved the most. But she didn’t even know until she died. She was only worthy of being my toy. But even a toy can only be mine…”
Hearing his words, I felt like I was about to touch the truth, so I quickly bent down and grabbed his collar: “What do you mean? Who killed her? Explain it clearly!”
But just as the man was about to speak, a stick accurately hit him on the head.
A mouthful of warm blood sprayed on my face, and the man stopped struggling completely.
15
The person who came was the security team leader. He looked at me with a worried expression: “Are you okay? I saw you lying on the ground and thought you were hurt by him.”
I shook my head regretfully: “I’m okay.”
But the answer also sank completely with this stick.
Security team leader: “It’s okay then. Let’s hurry up and leave. Who knows if he has any accomplices.”
I didn’t rush to leave. Instead, I took off his mask.
Unexpectedly, it was the man who had hidden behind Zeng Yi that day!
I had indeed secretly noticed him before.
He was also a student at the school, but he didn’t live on campus.
Unexpectedly, he would show up in the girls’ dormitory in the middle of the night.
And as far as I had observed, he knew the girls from Dormitory 404, but the person he was closest to wasn’t Zeng Yi, but the one of the two girls who had disappeared.
Even I thought they should be boyfriend and girlfriend, because they seemed much closer when they were together.
But I didn’t know why the man had killed everyone in Dormitory 403.
And whether the girl had disappeared on purpose. She should be in cahoots with the strange man.
Then what was their purpose?
After all, the man was already dead now.
There was also a crucial point that this strange man seemed to know me.
Even he knew the purpose of my coming to this school!
This was my biggest secret.
16
The security team leader didn’t know when he had walked behind me.
He looked at the man’s body on the ground: “Do you know him?”
I shook my head: “Did he have a grudge against the girls in Dormitory 403? Or was it just random killing?”
The security team leader looked at me silently for a while, and finally said: “You came late and didn’t hear that there had been a suicide case here before. His name is Dong Le, and he was the boyfriend of the girl who committed suicide.”
I: “Boyfriend? How could that be!?”
The security team leader’s face became serious, and he actually repeated the question to me: “Do you know her?”
I shook my head again: “I don’t know. Do you also think this was a suicide?”
The security team leader gave me a look: “The scene looked like a suicide, but… I can’t say for sure.”
I looked at the team leader in surprise. He seemed to know some inside information, but no matter how I asked, he said he didn’t want to slander others.
Helplessly, I could only start from other aspects.
I: “Did she commit suicide in Dormitory 404 or Dormitory 403?”
The security team leader: “She hanged herself in Dormitory 403. I was the one who found her and called the police at that time.”
I: “Why did she commit suicide?”
The security team leader: “According to her roommates, she seemed to have paranoid delusions, often suspecting that her boyfriend was cheating on her, and sometimes even suspected that her boyfriend wanted to kill her. But when her roommates advised her to break up, she didn’t want to. Later, she even stabbed her boyfriend with a knife and was expelled by the school. Finally, she hanged herself in the dormitory.”
I was a bit puzzled: “Then why did Dong Le kill the people in Dormitory 403? It seems more like revenge!”
The security team leader was silent for a while: “You seem to be very concerned about this girl.”
17
I suddenly felt a bit flustered: “I’m just curious about what happened that would make a student kill so many people.”
The security team leader: “Curiosity killed the cat. These young people are too extreme in what they do. It’s not something we can understand. Let’s leave quickly.”
After saying that, the security team leader pulled me up from the ground and was eager to leave.
And I had no reason to resist. But when I turned around, I casually took Dong Le’s mobile phone from his arms.
Because when I was hiding in the wardrobe in Dormitory 403, I always felt that someone had exposed me.
The most suspicious person was none other than the team leader beside me. But he had saved me and even killed Dong Le with his own hands, which made me a bit confused about him.
Moreover, during the days we spent together, he had been really nice to me. Deep down in my heart, I didn’t think he was a murderer.
When I was turning to leave, I vaguely saw a figure running past behind me and slipping into Dormitory 403.
It was a pity that the team leader was holding my hand tightly and didn’t let go, so I couldn’t chase after it.
Security team leader: “You have to testify for me that this was just self-defense.”
I nodded absently, thinking about how to get rid of the team leader and go back alone to find that girl.
Just then, Dong Le’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
When I took it out, it was clearly a call from the girl who had disappeared!
18
The note on the incoming call showed “Baby Qingqing”. Obviously, their relationship was not ordinary.
I looked at the security team leader worriedly. Fortunately, he didn’t recognize that it was Dong Le’s mobile phone.
I didn’t dare to answer it but hung up and prepared to send a WeChat message instead. However, when I opened their chat box, I learned the reason why Dong Le came to kill people in Dormitory 403.
It turned out that he also suspected that his girlfriend had been killed by someone, and this girl was actually my younger sister, Chen Xi.
The reason why I came to work as a security guard here was also for this. Sneaking into the girls’ dormitory to take secret photos was also a way for me to investigate my sister’s death.
And Qingqing told him that my sister was bullied to death by the people in Dormitory 403.
Just like they bullied Zeng Yi.
So Dong Le came to take revenge.
I was a bit stunned. I didn’t expect that this guy was so fierce that he really killed everyone in Dormitory 403 for my sister.
But I knew that it wasn’t because he loved my sister so much. It was his extreme possessiveness that couldn’t forgive others for taking away what belonged to him.
However, I knew that my sister’s death wasn’t caused by the people in her dormitory.
It was a man who often harassed her. Originally, I thought it was Dong Le, but now it seemed that I didn’t understand my sister’s blind affection for Dong Le.
After I hung up on Qingqing’s call, she immediately sent a WeChat message. It could be seen that she was also very worried about Dong Le: “Are you crazy? You’re killing people!”
I tried to pretend to be Dong Le: “Aren’t you also killing people? Don’t think I don’t know that you killed Zeng Yi!”
Qingqing: “Things are a bit complicated. I can only tell you that everything I’ve done is for you! I just hope that after you take revenge, you’ll only love me!”
19
I was confused by Qingqing’s words: “What do you mean? Isn’t the revenge I should take against the people in Dormitory 403?”
Qingqing: “Actually, it was the security team leader who killed Chen Xi. He tried to molest Chen Xi but accidentally killed her when she resisted. Then he dragged her back to the dormitory and disguised it as a suicide. At that time, I happened to skip class and come back and saw the whole process of his self-directed and self-acted farce.”
My heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a hammer and sank so heavily that I could hardly breathe: “Then why did you lie to me?”
Qingqing: “I was just afraid that you would be impulsive and get into trouble. You can’t beat the security team leader. If he realizes that you know he killed Chen Xi, he will definitely kill you to silence you!”
“But don’t worry. I won’t let him off either. I’ve already framed him for Zeng Yi’s death. As long as all the people who know about it are dead, no one will know that you’ve been here. We can put all the blame on the security team leader. I’ve done so much for you, just hoping that you’ll love me well in the future!”
I was a bit shocked. I didn’t expect that this woman was even more terrifying.
Everyone was just her pawn, and their original plan was to frame the security team leader because he was lustful enough and definitely wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
It’s just that I, who was eager to know the truth about my sister’s death, took over this task.
But anyway, now I know who the real killer of my sister is!
Just as I came to my senses, I realized that there were a pair of gloomy eyes staring at the mobile phone screen behind me.
I was so attracted by Qingqing’s words just now that I completely ignored that the team leader was still beside me.

I suddenly turned around and looked at the team leader with panic in my eyes.
The security team leader was also looking at me at this moment.
I didn’t know if he had seen the content on the mobile phone.
If he had seen it, then it would be inevitable for him to attack me.
The security team leader looked at me calmly: “What’s the matter? Did someone send you a message?”
Looking at the iron rod in his hand, I knew that I was no match for him, but in this situation, I didn’t dare to take the risk at all.
I had to separate from the team leader as soon as possible.
I: “It’s the girl from Dormitory 404. She’s Dong Le’s girlfriend. She knows that we killed Dong Le and she wants to take revenge for him!”
Security team leader: “Dormitory 404? Is she still in the building now?”
I nodded: “Yes! I suggest that we should control her first. Otherwise, it won’t be good if she does something dangerous.”
Security team leader: “Forget it. Let’s not meddle in other people’s business. She won’t dare to come to us. Let’s just leave quickly.”
The security team leader was still in a hurry to drag me away.
But I didn’t dare to get close to him anymore.
I: “Why don’t we split up and look for her? As security guards, we should still put the safety of students first.”
After hearing what I said, the team leader suddenly showed a strange smile: “Security guards? But do you think you’re really a security guard?”
My heart trembled. Originally, I was planning to find a chance to attack him secretly. I didn’t expect that the team leader seemed to know something.
21
I forced myself to stay calm, but my eyes were wandering around, looking for something that could be used as a weapon to fight back: “Boss, what are you talking about?”
The security team leader kept approaching me: “You’re Chen Xi’s brother, right? I didn’t expect that you’ve been pretending for so long right under my nose.”
Hearing the name Chen Xi, I immediately clenched my fists.
Chen Xi was the girl who committed suicide in Dormitory 403 and also my younger sister.
But I didn’t believe that she committed suicide because the day before she “suicided”, she had just asked me to buy a ticket to go home.
We were supposed to go together.
Seeing my reaction, the security team leader was even more certain of his judgment.
He looked at me with a fake smile: “I’m very curious about what you’re back here for? Are you trying to avenge your sister?”
I stared at the broom in the corner. That was the only weapon for self-defense I could find, but the corner was still a certain distance away from me.
I could only pretend to chat casually to buy time: “I just wanted to come back to see the place where my sister lived. Since she committed suicide, how can I talk about revenge.”
The security team leader’s face was calm: “If you don’t want to take revenge, then why have you been trying to get rid of me to find that girl from Dormitory 404? That girl had a big conflict with your sister and Dong Le. Don’t you suspect that she was the one who did it?”
I was almost within reach of the broom: “If we’re talking about the person most likely to kill her, shouldn’t it be you who harassed her every day?”
Finally, the team leader’s expression changed when he heard what I said. It became extremely ferocious.
And I suddenly grabbed the broom and swung it hard at his head.
But unexpectedly, he was so on guard against me that he directly caught the broom.

Team leader: “You little brat, I didn’t expect that you really found out. It’s a pity that you still want to fight me with just this!?”
I was pushed back by the team leader and pinned against the wall.
He looked at me triumphantly, as if he thought my resistance was really ridiculous.
I was pinned down tightly and didn’t expect that I would fall short in the end.
The team leader didn’t hesitate. The iron rod in his other hand was swung towards my head.
Just when I thought I was doomed,
suddenly, I heard the team leader roar in pain and then he fell down.
And what I saw in front of me was a person who had come back from the dead!
The one who stabbed the security team leader with a knife was Zeng Yi, who was supposed to have hanged herself!
But why was she here?
I seized the opportunity, picked up the iron rod on the ground and smashed it hard at the security team leader’s head until his whole head was smashed into a bloody mess before I stopped.
23
It turned out that when the security team leader tried to threaten my sister, Zeng Yi saw it.
Zeng Yi took a fruit knife and ran to the small woods downstairs, planning to save my sister.
Zeng Yi stabbed the security team leader from behind and pulled my sister to run.
However, they were still caught by the security team leader. Because Zeng Yi’s figure was quite similar to my sister’s, the security team leader couldn’t tell who was who and accidentally killed Zeng Yi instead.
Then, in order to cover up the truth, he took Zeng Yi as my sister and dragged her to Dormitory 403 to disguise it as a suicide.
My sister told me the news, and we planned a body-switching scheme together with the aim of avenging Zeng Yi.
When I learned of my sister’s “death”, I firmly demanded that her body be taken home directly without an autopsy.
I could waive the school’s responsibility.
And the school, in order to reduce the impact of the suicide incident on its reputation, readily agreed to my request.
After that, my sister pretended to be Zeng Yi and hid in Dormitory 404.
The two girls in Dormitory 404 also chose to help us for Zeng Yi’s sake.
With the help of the dormitory aunt, my sister managed to hide for half a month.
Dong Le was just a crazy admirer of my sister. He was told everyone that my sister was his girlfriend.
I also gradually infiltrated the school and finally completed the revenge on the security team leader.
