Tang Zinian didn’t know about Song Qingyou’s “evil intentions”. Seeing her so easily brush it off, he was instantly moved.

“I knew Sister Qingyou was the best!”

Seeing that they were about to continue chatting, the PE teacher could only clap his hands to gather everyone’s attention.

“As the victor, Xu Xing Zhou’s usual score will be increased by 10 points, as well as a clue.”

“Whether or not the clues are made public is up to you.”

“This PE class ends here. Dismissed.”

It was almost five o’clock in the afternoon, and soon everyone had to gather at the cafeteria.

During this period of time, it was basically a ‘free activity’ by default.

Song Qingyou looked at Xu Xingzhou, who gave her a look.

“I need to go to the bathroom. I’ll go straight to the cafeteria later.”

Song Qingyou asked, “Is anyone coming with me?”

Zhao Yingnan hesitated and wanted to follow, but Shu Ling grabbed her arm.

Only now did she remember that they had a conspiracy before.

Jiang Xuyan took two steps back and looked at the camera. He smiled and said, “It’ll only be ten minutes before lunch. Qingyou, you go first. We’ll walk around the school.”

“That works too.”

Song Qingyou walked away, and the seven people gathered together again.

“Old Xu, you haven’t forgotten what we talked about before, right?” Tang Zinian spoke first.

“I didn’t forget.”

When Xu Xingzhou received the card with the clue, he had taken a look at it, so he knew that the clue did not identify the murderer.

Therefore, he was very honest now and even laid out the clues for everyone to see.

This time, the program team did not have any intention of making things difficult for them. The clue they provided was not a puzzle that required them to deduce, but a simple sentence:

[The crime scene of the first case is in Building B.]

Everyone looked at each other.

“What’s the point of telling us the location of the crime scene of the first case?” Tang Zinian could not help but mutter.

“Maybe they want us to deduce the entire process of the first case,” Yu Muhuai said thoughtfully.

“That’s it.” Gu Xingchen also had the same thought. “The first case is very special. The other murder cases and missing persons cases may all be caused by the first case.”

Shu Ling also reacted.” Maybe after the first case, the people who were killed later found out the truth or discovered some secrets.”

“Also, the rooftop of Building B is also where the ghost stories happened.”

When Zhao Yingnan heard about the first case, she thought of the pair of eyes in the crack in the library wall. She shivered and thought of the rooftop water tank.

“Well, didn’t we not have the time to open the water tank when we went to the rooftop?”

“Yeah, there’s also a water tank.”

Jiang Xuyan nodded. “If the pungent smell was deliberately arranged, then there must be something shameful in the water tank.”

Tang Zinian immediately said, “Let’s go over now.”

“Let’s go to the cafeteria first.” Gu Xingchen said, “It’s not too late to go to the rooftop at night.”

“Last time in the library, if it weren’t for the moonlight at night, we might not have been able to find something in the wall in a short time…Besides, ghost stories only happen at night. Rumor has it that there might be crying on the rooftop, and we might only hear it at night.”

Everyone felt that what Gu Xingchen said made sense and nodded in agreement.

Only Zhao Yingnan asked, “Wouldn’t it be bad if we didn’t bring Qingyou along?”

Jiang Xuyan felt guilty.

Tang Zinian also avoided her gaze. “It’s not good, but we got this clue because we beat Sister Qingyou once…”

If he just gave it away like this, it would only make people feel that the previous game had been played in vain.

Zhao Yingnan could only look at Xu Xingzhou and Shu Ling.

According to their relationship, these two were also artists from Shengshi Entertainment, so they should know Song Qingyou better.

Shu Ling read her eyes in a second and said, “1 don’t think there’s a need to tell Qingyou either. She’s already got two clues, and they’re all bug-level existences in the show. It’s okay to have one less clue. We’ll talk about it after the recording.”

“Besides, Qingyou could also be the murderer,” Yu Muhuai interjected.

“Xiao Yu, why are you still thinking about this?” Jiang Xuyan was puzzled. “I think this possibility is the lowest.”

Shu Ling glanced at Xu Xingzhou. “I don’t think it’s possible either.”

If Song Qingyou was the murderer, then Xu Xingzhou was most likely the murderer as well.

However, judging from Xu Xingzhou’s unhesitating act of revealing the clues, the possibility of him being the murderer was not high.

“Regardless of whether it’s possible or not, don’t reveal the clues to her yet,” Gu Xingchen interrupted them.

As he spoke, he swept his gaze across everyone. “Let’s find a place to gather tonight and focus on investigating Block B. Is that okay?”

“No problem.”

Half an hour later, the eight of them met up in the cafeteria.

Song Qingyou knew that the others were hiding something from her, but Zhao Yingnan and the others were too obvious. It was difficult for her to pretend that she didn’t know.

“You guys don’t look too well. Did something happen?” she asked.

“No, no, no.” Tang Zinian quickly denied.

Jiang Xuyan held his forehead and shielded him behind him. “Little Tang said that he really wants to eat home-made food.”

“The food in the canteen is not bad.”

“Yeah, that’s what I said too, but Lil Tang said that his mom’s cooking tastes better. It can’t compare to anything else. He really wants to run home. If you ask me, he must have been away from home for too long and is missing his mom…”

Jiang Xuyan was exaggerating.

Song Qingyou’s mouth twitched. “I couldn’t tell that you were so dependent on… family.”

“Boss, you’re actually talking about a mommy’s boy, right?”

Everyone: —»

“Pfft-cough-”

Tang Zinian choked on his saliva.

He wanted to stop Jiang Xuyan from talking nonsense, but he was caught off guard and Xu Xingzhou threw him another grenade.

“Old Xu, who are you calling a mommy’s boy? Hmm?”

Tang Zinian clenched his fingers with a fierce look on his face.

Xu Xingzhou let out an ‘ah’ sound like an emotionless machine.

“I was talking about myself.”

“My mother’s treasure.”

“I want to go home to see my mother immediately.”

Tang Zinian snorted and revealed a ‘at least you’re tactful’ expression.

“Xingzhou, I remember your mother has already…” Song Qingyou’s lips curved into a small smile as she spoke casually.

“She has passed away.” Xu Xingzhou was very calm.

Tang Zinian was speechless.

“Pfft-”

Jiang Xuyan couldn’t hold back his laughter and quickly apologized, “Well, 1 was just laughing at Lil Tang. I didn’t mean anything else.”

Xu Xingzhou waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

His mother had passed away many years ago.

The group of people entered the cafeteria while chatting and laughing.

While Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan were bickering and attracting the attention of others, Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhou lined up in the “teaching staff” line to exchange information.

After learning that they were going to explore Building B tonight, Song Qingyou didn’t plan to follow them to avoid arousing suspicion.

Moreover, the piano in the activity room of the musical instrument club was a hidden danger.

Xu Xingzhou could tell that she had deliberately skipped some buttons when she played, so it was possible that the others had noticed.

Therefore, the things in the piano needed to be taken away..
