Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Consecutive Deaths

Zhong Lanyi knew that Xia Xin and Jiangli were from Jiaoyang Temple and did not hide it, "It’s been this past month. At first, the school thought it was a student coming to the campus to commit suicide, and the news was suppressed. But now it’s becoming more frequent. I guess it’s also on the internet. You should search online."

Xia Xin immediately took out his phone and searched online.

He hadn’t been in F City in the past few days and hadn’t properly searched online. Upon searching, Xia Xin saw that F City University was at the bottom of the trending list.

Xia Xin clicked on it and saw many people’s posts.

Many students were questioning what exactly was going on.

Some bloggers also posted some details.

It appears that before the holiday break, the first fatal accident occurred.

It involved a junior student who allegedly jumped off the roof and died on the spot.

The surveillance was in place, and that upperclassman was lively and cheerful at school, so bullying was out of the question, and there was no possibility of overwhelming pressure or jumping to his death due to being bullied.

No one knew the reason.

After negotiations between the family and the school, the matter was kept quiet.

Later, three days after the holiday ended, another death occurred at the school.

It was a girl who is said to have jumped out of the shower window, stark naked when she did so.

That incident became even more mysterious.

The news started to get out and even made it onto the news but was quickly suppressed by the school again.

Therefore, not many people knew about it at the time.

But...

The school and the students probably did not anticipate that this was just the beginning.

Afterward, two more deaths followed in succession.

One person hung himself with a belt from the ceiling fan in a classroom.

Another fell down the stairs, his head hitting the corner of a wall, and he bled to death.

The methods of death were more bizarre than the last.

And yet, from the surveillance footage, it was impossible to discern how they had entered the school, let alone how they died.

"Could they have completely avoided the school’s surveillance?" Xia Xin was somewhat puzzled.

Zhong Lanyi: "It’s not that they avoided it, but rather, they didn’t appear on the surveillance at all."

The surveillance at the beginning and the end were both normal.

But the entire process of those people appearing and dying was missing.

The police investigated and found that the surveillance was functioning properly, so there was no possibility that it had been tampered with or swapped.

Yet people who never appeared on surveillance were later found dead on camera.

This was something that nobody could explain.

Neither the school nor the police knew what was going on, and investigations were still ongoing.

For this reason, the school had now put stricter controls in place.

"I just feel that this matter is too strange, too abnormal," Zhong Lanyi said. She had just remembered the incidents involving Yun Xizi and Nana and, having a private relationship with Yun Xizi, she made a special appointment with her to inform her about the situation.

She wanted to ask Yun Xizi for help.

To help introduce Jiangli.

However, these past two days, Jiangli happened to be out of F City.

And during these two days, no further incidents occurred at the school.

Zhong Lanyi was thinking that maybe the events had come to an end, that they were merely accidents.

She was contemplating whether to ask for Jiangli’s help at all.

But Yun Xizi felt the matter was not so simple and, having learned that Jiangli had returned, still brought Zhong Lanyi to find Jiangli.

"No incidents these two days?" Jiangli inquired, "Were the previous incidents consecutive? Was there a gap in between?"

Zhong Lanyi: "They were spaced by a few days. Each time we thought there wouldn’t be a next time, something else would happen, but I just feel that after so many casualties, there shouldn’t be any more, right? It doesn’t make sense that so many people would want to commit suicide, and even if someone was continuously killing people, under the police’s watch, they couldn’t keep killing, could they?"
