Chapter 391 Don't be foolish

  When Yu Muhuai turned his head, everyone took a step back, as if they had trained in advance.

  Xu Xingzhou said softly: "Why don't we come again next time? Isn't the focus of today to investigate the person who jumped off the building?"

  Jiang Xuyan: "I can't tell, Xiao Xu, you are also like Sister Yingnan, afraid of being scared..."

  Yu Muhuai, who had already touched the door of the cabinet, looked sideways: "Mr. Jiang is very courageous, why don't you help open the door?"

   "No, I can't." Jiang Xuyan's expression changed suddenly, "To be honest, I am also very scared just like Sister Yingnan."

  Everyone: …

  Yu Muhuai didn't mean to embarrass anyone. When he was holding the handle of the cabinet door with both hands, he didn't forget to remind:

   "Get ready, I'm going to drive."

   As soon as the voice fell, there was a 'creak', and the silver-gray iron cabinet door opened to everyone.

  Yu Muhuai quickly took two steps back, before he could see clearly what was in the cabinet, Zhao Yingnan exclaimed.

   Fortunately, she hadn't screamed yet, and Shu Ling beside her covered her mouth well prepared.

  Jiang Xuyan gasped, if he hadn't held onto the edge of the laboratory table tightly, he might not have been able to help but scream.

  Because on the middle layer of the cabinet, there are four human skulls neatly arranged, and four pairs of empty eyes seem to be staring at them, which is indeed very scary at first glance.

  The upper and lower floors of the cabinet contain some animal skeletons.

   Behind these bones is a mirror, which can clearly reflect everyone's face.

   Overall, it looks normal.

   "These four skulls are exactly the same, and they must have been stored for a long time." Song Qingyou broke the silence, "It seems that the corpse is not hidden here."

  Yu Muhuai hummed and approached the cabinet.

   Seeing that he was not afraid, the others also hesitated and took a few steps forward.

  Xu Xingzhou watched it for a while, and reminded again:

   "We only have 20 minutes, and we have to return the key. If we stay here, we won't be able to investigate other places..."

   "Xingzhou is right." Jiang Xuyan didn't want to stare at these eerie bones at all, "Shall we go?"

  Yu Muhuai nodded, looking back, he wanted to ask everyone why the back of the cabinet was made into a mirror. Seeing that there was no difference in the group of people, he thought about it and shut up.

  Shu Ling, who was walking at the back, looked at the skeleton in the cabinet a few times, and unconsciously looked at the fish tanks on both sides.

  Those animal skeletons, three or four are of the same species.

   And the labels on the two fish tanks are the same.

   "Giant salamander?"

  Shu Ling murmured.

  Zhao Yingnan, who was walking in front, couldn't help turning her head back, "Did you talk just now?"

   "No." Shu Ling shook his head, "I just think this laboratory is weird. There are human models and skeletons in the food class."

  Zhao Yingnan: "Well... it's a biology and chemistry laboratory after all."

   "Makes sense."

  Shu Ling responded with a smile.

  She always felt that the program crew would not put so many giant salamander-related things casually, unless there was a staff member who particularly liked giant salamanders.

   Salamander looks so ugly, it shouldn't be possible?

   A group of people came out of the building where the laboratory was located, and divided into two groups again.

   It is Yu Muhuai who will return the key this time.

   Responsible for "assists" are Zhao Yingnan and Xu Xingzhou.

  Others wait in front of the nearest sculpture.

  The discovery of 'blood stains' on the sculpture's sword earlier still left a deep impression on everyone.

  So as soon as he arrived at the meeting place, Shu Ling began to look around.

  The others couldn’t wait, so they followed suit.

  After a while, Jiang Xuyan saw that Shu Ling hadn't moved for a while, and asked involuntarily:

   "Shu Ling, did you find something?"

  Shu Ling didn't respond, but Yu Muhuai, who just came back, looked over: "What did you find? How did you deduce how the sculpture killed people?"

   "Some ideas."

  Shu Ling stood up and looked at the crowd.

   "But I just said it, is it really okay? In case there are more than one or two murderers among us, will I... be more or less lucky?"

   "If they could do it, they would have done it long ago." Zhao Yingnan said, "Did you forget? Last night, Qingyou deduced the incident of the teacher being poisoned."

"Too-"

  Shu Ling no longer cared about it, and simply pointed to the ground in front of the sculpture.

   "Look carefully at this place, is there any trace of being dug?"

  After hearing the words, several people raised their feet to push away the fallen leaves, and soon found out.

   "Someone dug a hole here, and although they carefully covered it with the surrounding soil, it can still be seen that something is wrong."

"We know that sculptures cannot move, and they are not filled with water. So if you want the sword of the sculpture to pierce the corpse, you must first stuff the corpse under the tip of the sword. Since the tip of the sword is very close to the ground, it is impossible to stuff the corpse. In the past, you could only dig a hole, put the body in, and then fill the hole.”

  Shu Ling's reasoning is well-founded, and several people think it is the correct answer.

  Jiang Xuyan thought for a while and said, "The body was discovered the next day. The murderer had to dig a hole and push the body onto the sculpture's sword bit by bit. There must be more than one person who did it."

  Yu Muhuai continued: "And this sword is not sharp enough, it shouldn't be easy to pierce a human body."

  Shu Ling thought about these two points a long time ago, so he immediately answered:

   "It is likely that at least three people committed the crime, one dug and filled the hole, and the other two tied the victim's limbs or other places with a rope, and then pulled the rope."

  Song Qingyou made a summary at the side: "So, we need to check the details of all the murders that happened in the school."

   After finishing speaking, he asked everyone: "Do you want to go to the activity room now, or go back to the classroom?"

  Yu Muhuai said warmly: "I want to go to the red maple tree."

   "Sister Shu Ling deduced the answer just now, which reminded me of the red maple tree."

   "We guessed that the locations of the six ghost stories are the corpses. How did the tree hide?"

   Tang Zinian immediately replied: "Under the tree!"

"right."

  Yu Muhuai stopped talking and went straight to the red maple tree in the garden.

  The other six people naturally would not let it go, and followed suit one after another.

  It's a pity that a few people wandered around the third-to-last tree on the right for a long time, and even emptied all the fallen leaves, but they didn't see anything unusual.

"how so?"

  Yu Muhuai was very surprised.

  Xu Xingzhou analyzed: "The hiding place is just our guess, and it's normal if we didn't find it."

   "Xingzhou is right, don't be foolish..."

  Yu Muhuai didn't speak, and he didn't know if he listened to what the two said.

  The corners of Song Qingyou's mouth raised slightly, wondering when Yu Muhuai would find out that something was wrong.

   Just when several people were discussing about leaving, Yu Muhuai suddenly said:

   "There's something I forgot to say."

  Everyone looked sideways.

   "When I returned the key, I didn't see the key to the rooftop."

   "If the key is not at the 'accident' scene, it is likely that it was taken away by someone, and there is a high probability that it is someone other than us."

   Several people heard the words and immediately decided to go to the rooftop to take a look.

  However, before they took a few steps, the elusive men in black appeared around them...
