Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Another Murder Case

But before she could turn and run away, her arms were swooshed up again.

The broken wrists, up in the air, were brutally straightened out.

Piercing, bone-chilling pain washed over her in waves.

She couldn’t help but scream in agony.

But the next second, she felt a sharp pain on her scalp.

As if someone had grabbed her hair.

Her strength drained from her body in an instant, and she was forcibly dragged into the teaching building.

After turning into the teaching building, she was dragged into a restroom in the corner.

Before she could react, her head was violently shoved into the toilet.

The foul-smelling liquid robbed her of her breath, rushing into her nose and mouth.

Before she had a chance to struggle, her neck and hair were seized, and she was yanked up.

The next second, her head was slammed hard against the floor.

Bang—

Bang—

One after another, loud thuds echoed through the restroom and the hallway.

...

The next morning.

Jiangli hadn’t woken up yet when she was roused by Xia Xin’s shouting.

"Ancestress, there’s been an incident, an incident!"

The moment Jiangli opened her eyes, the door was being pounded on fiercely.

She sat up irritably, with the grogginess of just waking up, flung the door open with a swoosh, squinted her eyes, and said menacingly, "You better have something important!"

Xia Xin, seeing her looking like she was about to tear him apart, shivered and quickly flashed his phone, "Like this... Ancestress, take a look, first thing in the morning, Zhong Lanyi sent a message, I checked online, and something happened at F City University again!"

Jiangli’s fierce expression softened a bit as she took the phone; it was news about the incident at F City University.

It broke out early in the morning, just after five o’clock.

They say it was the school janitors and the police, who were checking the facilities and surveillance, that discovered something unusual.

In a restroom inside the teaching building, a girl was found dead.

It is said that the deceased girl was dressed in a red dress, red shoes, with exaggerated and bizarre makeup on her face, and her face bore some indescribable substances.

Furthermore, her forehead was smashed, covered in blood.

All of it pointed to the cause of her death.

The police immediately checked the surveillance.

Zhong Lanyi’s father is the school principal, so she heard some inside information, according to what her father said, this girl’s death, like the previous few, showed no sign of her existence in the surveillance footage.

She seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in the school, and then died out of nowhere in the restroom.

Moreover, there was no trace of anyone else in the restroom, just hers alone.

On the surface, it looked like she died by hitting her head on the ground.

But how would a normal person commit suicide like this?

Both the police and the school authorities felt something was off about the incident.

Xia Xin woke up to this news and instantly lost all desire to sleep.

That’s why he rushed over with his phone to find Jiangli.

Jiangli said, "Ask Zhong Lanyi if we can go take a look at the school now?"

Jiangli’s expression became serious, losing the grogginess from before.

Xia Xin said, "I’ll ask."

Xia Xin took his phone and started a private chat with Zhong Lanyi to ask about the basic situation.

But Zhong Lanyi on the other end did not reply immediately, seemingly busy with something else.

Xia Xin: "Ancestress, she didn’t reply to me..."

Jiangli frowned slightly, "Wait a bit longer, go get something to eat first, I’m hungry."

Xia Xin understood that when Jiangli said she was hungry, it meant she wanted to satisfy her craving for good food, not that she was really hungry.

He nodded, "Alright, let’s just buy some breakfast to eat this morning then."

He was worried that they would be too busy this morning to cook.

Jiangli hummed in acknowledgement.
