The activity room of the Musical Instrument Club was still the same. Shu Ling wasn’t inside.

Gu Xingchen’s gaze wandered around. As if he had thought of something, he walked straight to the piano in the middle of the room.

Six ghost stories, the program team’s “Prelude”, plus the science that Zhao Yingnan and the others occasionally discussed, he already understood most of it.

And just like Song Qingyou and the others, they came to the conclusion that there were six hiding places.

The activity room of the Musical Instrument Club was naturally one of them.

There seemed to be a lot of miscellaneous things inside. In fact, other than the four walls, the piano was the only thing that could hide things.

Xu Xingzhou and Shu Ling had both said that the piano here had been played before, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Gu Xingchen did not have the time to verify it.

He opened the keys and pressed the keys from top to bottom.

From the sound, there was indeed nothing unusual.

Gu Xingchen did not give up and played it again. After listening carefully, he seemed to be unwilling to give up and went to open the back cover of the piano. There was still nothing inside.

Just as Gu Xingchen was feeling disappointed, the sunlight outside the window shone on the piano strings, revealing a trace of abnormality.

Some strings were of different colors.

The cameraman following behind saw that Gu Xingchen had not moved for a long time, so he could only ask, “Teacher Gu, what are you looking at?”

Gu Xingchen came back to his senses and only then did he remember that he was still recording a program. He couldn’t just sit there and do nothing.

He pointed at the black and red strings and said, “Look at this. It looks like blood. Someone must have hidden a corpse here. This is why the ghost stories appeared in the activity room of the Musical Instrument Club.”

After a pause, Gu Xingchen continued, “No, that’s not right. That head.Jt was still hidden in the wall of the library. Other places.Jt should still be at the place where the ghost story happened. The part in the piano must have been taken away by someone.”

“Teacher Gu, who do you think took it?” the cameraman asked.

Gu Xingchen shook his head slowly, but his thoughts were running very fast.

According to Tang Zinian and the others, they basically traveled together in the first few days. There was almost no chance for them to act alone.

Later on, he joined them again. There was a chance for him to act alone, but the time did not match.

It was because it would take more than one or two minutes to remove the things from the piano and clean it up.

Of course, it wasn’t possible for him to do it today.

“Acting alone-”

Gu Xingchen pondered as he walked out.

Halfway through, he suddenly realized something.

“I know! It’s Little Qingyou!”

“Other than her, who else has acted alone for a long time?”

Therefore, Song Qingyou was most likely one of the murderers.

As for whether there were other murderers…

Gu Xingchen decided to go to the biochemical laboratory first.

A few minutes later, he appeared at the entrance of the laboratory.

Just as he had guessed, Shu Ling was inside.

Upon hearing footsteps, the latter immediately turned around.

“Teacher Gu?” Shu Ling raised her guard and forced a smile. “Why are you here?”

Gu Xingchen walked in fearlessly. “I’m here to find you, of course.”

“Looking for me?” Shu Ling retreated to the wall. “Teacher Gu, you don’t think I’m the murderer, do you? Or is it Teacher Gu?”

Gu Xingchen didn’t answer. He pointed at the cabinet that she had opened and asked, “Why did you open this cabinet? Is there anything else we haven’t seen before?”

The few of them had opened the cabinet in the laboratory earlier and were shocked by the neatly arranged skulls inside.

“If 1 answer your question, will you let me go?” Shu Ling asked tentatively.

“Sure,” Gu Xingchen replied with a smile.

“Really?” Shu Ling was suspicious. “A promise is a promise. Since you promised to let me go, you can’t come back within five minutes. Is that okay?”

“Sure.”

“Then walk slowly inside. 1’11 walk towards the door. We’ll stay away from one another.”

Shu Ling directed the two of them. “My stamina is not as good as yours, so 1 definitely won’t go back on my word.”

Gu Xingchen nodded again.

Then, the two of them circled around the laboratory and changed their positions.

Shu Ling stood at the door, ready to slip out at any time.

“There’s something hidden behind the mirror,” she pointed at the opened cabinet.

Gu Xingchen did not need to ask to know what was hidden on the back.

Shu Ling wanted to leave after saying that, but Gu Xingchen did not intend to let her off so easily.

“There might be something hidden behind the mirror, but when 1 came in, you kept looking at the fish tank beside the cabinet.”

“Is there something wrong with the fish tank?”

Shu Ling stopped in her tracks, but she still answered the question, “There are giant salamanders in the fish tank, and there are several skeletons and models of giant salamanders in the cabinet. This laboratory.Jt’s not like they specialize in studying this species.”

After saying that, Shu Ling did not care if Gu Xingchen could react or not, and ran towards the stairs.

Gu Xingchen had no intention of chasing after her at all. He stared thoughtfully at the label on the fish tank for a while.

“Giant salamander… baby salamander… cry!”

After a while, he came to a realization.

The salamander’s cry sounded like a baby’s cry.

The crying on the rooftop of Building B was obviously related to the giant salamander raised in the laboratory.

Gu Xingchen, who had solved another ghost story ‘puzzle’, was in a good mood as he emptied the cabinet and successfully found a’ bloody’ leg behind the mirror.

Half an hour later, the remaining four people gathered at the entrance of the teaching building where the broadcast room was located.

It was just that the four of them didn’t trust each other and were wary of each other. They were very far away from each other.

“There’s at least one murderer among the four of us,” Gu Xingchen spoke first.

“It’s easy for the murderer to benefit from the chaotic battle between the four of us. Why don’t we vote? The person with the most votes will have their tag torn apart by the other three. Before that, no one is allowed to move. What do you think?”

Yu Muhuai nodded. “No problem.”

“I agree too.”

Song Qingyou nodded slightly.

Gu Xingchen coughed lightly. “Let me tell you my thoughts first.”

“1 think among the four of us, the most likely murderer is Qingyou.”

“The first is Qingyou’s character. You know that I’m the school doctor. I’ve had many interactions with the female student who was sent to the school doctor’s office. At that time, in the school doctor’s office, that student was very afraid of Zhao Yingnan, but thinking about it carefully, Qingyou happened to be standing behind Zhao Yingnan.”

“Also, that student once told me that I can’t afford to offend anyone who bullies her. As a school doctor, I can’t not afford to offend someone like the school belle. It can only be someone who’s the daughter of the board of directors.”

“Also, I found blood stains on the piano in the activity room of the Musical Instrument Club. The things’ inside have been taken away… During this period, the only one who has a longer free time was Song Qingyou, who had been ‘isolated’ by us.”

Gu Xingchen narrowed his eyes and stared at Song Qingyou with a half-smile. “Student Song, what do you think?”
