Si Yehan returned to the dormitory building first. Since there was still plenty of time, he figured he might as well take a nap and wait for the others to call him. That way, he could get some rest and also try his best to dispel their suspicions afterward.
After returning to the house, he straightened his clothes and then took out a dagger and a baton, placing them on his clothes.
After doing all this, I lay in bed and drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Consciousness sank into boundless darkness, no longer stirring up the slightest ripples, nor did any magnificent dreams unfold or manifest in the endless darkness. The passage of time in the outside world rapidly blurred, and when Si Yehan awoke again, it was already afternoon.
With this kind of sleep, time flies by as soon as you fall asleep, and you often wake up several hours later.
Ge Congze's voice came through, her tone gentle and feminine. "Are you awake? If you are, you can come and find us. We're going to the third floor first."
Si Yehan did not respond, but simply put on his clothes and hid the baton and dagger on his person, just in case.
The footsteps outside faded into the distance. Si Yehan pushed open the door and stepped out. At that moment Ge Congze was already standing at the elevator entrance.
A look of surprise appeared on Ge Congze's face, then he smiled and said, "Since you're awake, let's go to the third floor together. Qianjing Youhui and Xie Fei have already gone over. We can also ask Xia Yuanhou if he has any leads yet; it's possible he has already succeeded in his revenge."
He spoke with a hint of mockery, because the atmosphere was so eerie, and the surrounding environment was so oppressive.
Si Yehan replied indifferently, simply, "Perhaps."
He showed no emotion on his face, but a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. In a little while, the expressions of these people would change again.
Hearing Si Yehan's response, Ge Congze didn't want to make trouble for himself any further. He raised his hand and touched his hair, revealing a serene expression on his handsome face.
His attire truly made him look no different from a woman; if it weren't for his prominent Adam's apple and his self-disclosure of his identity, it would have been very difficult to tell them apart.
The elevator had already reached the fourth floor. The two entered the elevator without exchanging a word, creating an exceptionally silent atmosphere. Fortunately, it didn't last long. As soon as the elevator doors opened, they bumped into Qianjing Youhui, whose expression was somewhat flustered.
She lacked her usual composure at this moment. When she looked at Ge Congze, she raised her hand and pointed to the room where Ning Qian had lived, her voice slightly disordered. "Xia Yuanhou is dead. I was just about to come and tell you."
Ge Congze, who had been calm and collected, suddenly changed his expression, his face turning gloomy, and he hurriedly rushed towards that place.
As soon as I stepped into the room, the horrific state of Xia Yuanhou's corpse came into view! His face was a bloody mess, and his shattered eyeballs were covered by bits of flesh and bone, with only a few gaps showing, and they were also cracked.
The blood had dried on the ground, and the body was covered in black blood. Because no one had cleaned it up for a long time, the air was filled with the stench of corpses, and bloodstains had formed on the hair.
Ge Congze swayed slightly, his face ashen, showing no sign of losing control of his emotions. After spending these days with Xia Yuanhou, he couldn't say he disliked him. Xia Yuanhou was a loyal and righteous man, and often a good henchman. He never expected him to die like this.
He found it hard to tolerate, especially since night Night Watch in the dungeon was already fraught with danger, and now a teammate had died for no reason. Even with his usually good temper, he found it hard to accept, and his long-accumulated anger erupted at this moment!
His handsome face now held a chilling expression. Ge Congze pointed at Xia Yuanhou's corpse, gritting his teeth as he said, "The person who killed him must be the same person who killed Ning Qian. Some murderers have a habit of returning to the crime scene; they must have run into Xia Yuanhou on their way back, and that's why they killed him!"
Xie Fei added from the side, "Moreover, that person's combat skills were extremely high, and he was able to suppress Xia Yuanhou throughout the entire incident. Judging from the scene, the deceased's resistance before his death was completely neutralized."
Si Yehan had already reached the doorway. He stood behind Qianjing Youhui, looking down at the corpse on the ground and Ge Congze standing not far away, his expression completely calm.
Ge Congze's gaze fell on him, then shifted away. Although it was quite quick, Si Yehan still caught a fleeting hint of suspicion in his eyes.
This Ge Congze is indeed a cautious person.
Qianjing Youhui had calmed down from her earlier panic. She raised her eyebrows slightly, showing some composure, and said in a gentle voice, "Could it be that the person who made the move was targeting Xia Yuanhou? And the person who killed Ning Qian is not the same person who killed Xia Yuanhou?"
Xie Fei decisively denied it, saying, "No, based on the scene and what happened yesterday, it's undoubtedly the same person who did it. I've looked into some criminal cases before, and sometimes I like to draw things like that."
Just as everyone was about to continue their heated discussion, two footsteps sounded.
When the two figures came into view, all three people except Si Yehan showed a look of astonishment.
The two figures stepped back and glanced at the door number again before looking at the four people with equally shocked and astonished expressions! These two figures were none other than the brothers Luo Tian and Luo Hai.
Luo Hai looked bewildered and shocked, pointing at the four people and saying, "Distinguished guests, how did you end up in this room again, and another person has died?"
Luo Tian nudged Luo Hai, a hint of apology appearing on his chubby face. "Distinguished guest, what brings you here, and in such a sorry state? My brother misspoke earlier; please forgive him."
Luo Hai stared at the corpse lying on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. His expression changed, and he quickly bowed to the four people to apologize.
Si Yehan watched the scene unfold and found it amusing, completely unmoved. He was somewhat curious about the expressions on the brothers' faces as they were brutally murdered by the Vengeful Ghost.
Ge Congze found it somewhat irritating, but he didn't have the habit of taking his anger out on others. Even though Luo Hai in front of him was a bit clueless, he just snorted coldly.
Xie Fei said coldly, "How did you know there were corpses here?"
Luo Tian and Luo Hai both looked somewhat embarrassed. Finally, the former touched his nose and said, "We didn't know either. We were just conducting a routine check and patrol. We never expected to run into two corpses in the same room."
Just as Xie Fei was about to ask another question, Qianjing Youhui spoke up, "Do you know anything about Ning Qian? Does she have any enemies within your funeral home?"
Luo Hai wanted to speak, but Luo Tian covered his mouth.
Luo Tian looked thoughtful, and after a moment said, "The young girl had only been here a short time when this happened, so I don't know much about it. The only thing I know is that she's a very kind person, and she definitely doesn't have any enemies in our funeral home."
