“Yes indeed, Mumu told me earlier, and I’ve also told her that I’ll be driving her instead, I didn’t expect Sergeant Jiang to be someone so stubborn.” Qi Youxuan said with a chuckle. Ignoring him completely, he said, “Let’s go, Mumu.”
Wei Muran looked at Jiang Yuecheng with regret as she felt Jiang Yuecheng had wasted his time coming over, however, she ended up following Qi Youxuan.
However, a voice could heard that had indirectly chilled Qi Youxuan’s heart to the core. The voice said, “Wait just a second!”
As he turned around, he saw Wei Ziqi coming out of the house. Following behind him was Wei Muche who was ready to carpool to school. Upon noticing Qi Youxuan, he winked at him with a smile, then sneakily gestured behind Wei Ziqi’s back as a signal to face his father head on.
“The both you can stop fighting now, she’s my daughter and I’ll be sending to school.” Wei Ziqi stared at Qi Youxuan as if he was stopping a thief. He added, “Since Muche will be heading over to University A anyway.”
Qi Youxuan dared not to call Wei Ziqi ‘father’ yet, since Wei Ziqi had traumatized him as a child, hence he had been emotionally scared.
However, Qi Youxuan was unbending, he shamelessly said, “If that’s the case, I can send both Muche and Mumu to school, since we’ll be going to University A anyway.”
Qi Youxuan’s mouth was slightly twitching as he held back the urge to call Wei Ziqi ‘Dad’, he then said, “You can head over to your office directly, how awesome is that.”
“Heheh.” Wei Ziqi chuckled with a smug look on his face. All while unwilling to allow Qi Youxuan to have his way. He told Wei Muran and Wei Muche, “What are you two still standing there for? Get in the car.”
Wei Muche smirked teasingly at Qi Youxuan, Wei Muran on the other hand gave him a sympathetic look as she followed Wei Ziqi into his car.
Qi Youxuan stared at Wei Muran with an extremely sad look as he watched Wei Ziqi drive her away from him.
Wei Ran walked toward Qi Youxuan and patted his shoulders. She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him when he gets back.”
Last night, she had only hinted at the idea of them dating to Wei Ziqi, she never even mentioned Qi Youxuan’s name and Wei Ziqi replied, “Qi Youxuan, that brat must be dreaming to think he’ll be able to date my daughter!”
“Mom, you’ll need to help out!” Qi Youxuan pleaded with a sad tone.
Wei Ran’s heart was instantly melted as she stared at Qi Youxuan’s sad look. Hence, without even hesitating, she agreed to help him.
…
Qi Youxuan, Jiang Yuecheng and Wei Ziqi had all arrived at the main entrance of University A. Since Wei Ziqi was an outsider, he was unable to drive his car through the gates. However, all Jiang Yuecheng had to do was show his ID and he was able to drive through without a hitch.
Hence Wei Ziqi looked frustrated, he grunted and reluctantly allowed Wei Muran get onto Qi Youxuan’s car
Qi Youxuan stood in front of him with an awkward smile as he looked at how furious Wei Ziqi looked, it was as if Qi Youxuan was trying to suck up to him after he had benefited from him!
“How could you not even tell me that you’re coming over to University A, brother? You could’ve offered me a ride since it’s on the same route anyway, you’re so awful!” A high-pitched lady-like voice could be heard coming from behind him. Judging from the tone of the voice, that lady seemed furious.
The instant Qi Youxuan turned around to look, he noticed an SUV was parked next to his car and Qi Youning had just got down the car and was staring at him furiously.
As Qi Youning grew older, her body was no longer as chubby as she once was, since she had slimmed down significantly. She was now truly an elegant and stunning young lady as she seemed to be an active and cheerful person.
He then noticed a young man also was getting out of the car at a painfully slow pace. He was wearing a suit, making his body stand out even more. As it would be a rare sight for any common-folk to see an elegant looking young man paired along with an exceptionally handsome look.
Qi Youxuan proceeded to take a quick glance at the young man. He then said, “Isn’t that your ride?”
If he was to rob Wen Xu of his girl, Wen Xu would stop at nothing to stop him.
The sheer mention of that emotionless, cold young man, Qi Youning’s mood instantly improved as she held her head high and said, “Of course! Only Ah Xu treats me the best!”
Wen Xu who was standing behind her cracked a gentle smile while his eyes were solely focused on Qi Youning, as if everyone else was never present in the first place.
However Qi Youning was quick to go back on her words.She proceeded to reply, “But, you can’t just go on your day without even mentioning! Even if Ah Xu was sending me to school, you should also care about your sister you know?”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll care for you better next time.” Qi Youxuan replied in attempts to comfort her while shooting a look to Wen Xu who was standing behind Qi Youning at that moment, assuring him that he would never even think about stealing his girl from him.
Wen Xu who had a frustrated look on his face just mere moments ago, grew into a much delightful look the moment he noticed Qi Youxuan’s subtle hint.
Thus, Wei Ziqi could finally drive back to his office with his own car as both Wei Muran and Wei Muche got onto Qi Youxuan’s car. Since Wen Xu too was unable to drive past the gate and into the campus, Qi Youning proceeded to catch a ride in Qi Youxuan’s car as well.
Before he got in his car, Wen Xu silently stared at Qi Youxuan without saying a word, causing Qi Youxuan to feel extremely nervous.
“Well then…you…just drive safe now!” Qi Youxuan said.
Wen Xu never moved an inch, however, Qi Youning proceeded to turn around, tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the cheeks. She said, “I, I’ll miss you!”
After receiving a kiss from Qi Youning, Wen Xu grinned with pure satisfaction, as he nodded and glanced down at Qi Youxuan; as it would take half a step forward to hug her into his arms.
He streched out his hands and proceeded to gently squeeze her hands, after doing so, he lowered his head and swiftly gave her a kiss on the lips before getting into his car.
Qi Youning was blushing heavily as she frantically covered her mouth while both her eyes were wide-opened like a bunny as she immediately squinted her eyes nervously. After waving at Wen Xu and watching him leave, she got onto Qi Youxuan’s car.
Qi Youxuan was able to look at the delightful, guilty smirk on his sister’s face from the back mirrors. He pouted as he thought about how inappropriate his sister was behaving after being kissed by another man.
As the group finally entered University A, they noticed the entire dormitory was being completely locked down and it was completely surrounded by a large group of students that were gathered outside the dormitory.
There were also students from another dormitory block, that had heard rumors about the incident, however, since these students had not experienced that incident personally, they were completely fine at this moment.
The students who were residents of this particular block on the other hand were scarred and traumatized, however, there were also a few students who looked fine. The students who shared the same floor as the incident occurred were shocked beyond recognition as all their faces were inhumanly pale. The students who shared the same room as the victim though, these people were indescribably shaken to their very core.
If it were not for the support that was given by each other, these students would have ended up hospitalized.
Even the students from a room directly above where the incident occurred, were traumatized as they feared whenever they had to walk past that floor, a ghastly apparition of a haunted spirit would appeared, since there was a suicide on that floor, hence these people dared not to even look in that direction.
The officers on duty who were in uniform proceeded to scatter the crowd, in order to allow Sergeant Jiang’s vehicle to park by the main lobby of the dormitory.
As everyone got out of the car and entered the dormitory, the officer in charge informed them of the situation. The officer said, “The deceased is Feng Haoli. It was the third year students who had discovered the deceased by the door of their room. As they woke up this morning, the instant they opened the door, they were shocked to discover the deceased was hanging on full display directly in front of their room. These people were completely traumatized. The forensics teams are conducting their search as we speak.”
The body of the deceased victim was discovered on the fourth floor in this six floor old dormitory. Since this entire building was old and it had stood for thirty years, the rooms in this building were not equipped with an attached washroom. The washrooms were on each ends of every floor.
“We’ve questioned the students already, they were too afraid of using the washrooms in the middle of the night, since they claimed it was scary. Everyone has a ‘piss bucket’, it’s for them to use in the middle of the night in case they were unable to hold it in. They’ll take care of it the very next day in the washrooms. Another notable thing would be, this dormitory was not equipped with any sort of surveillance system internally.” The officer explained.
“The interior of the dormitory was not equipped with any surveillance system, hence it’s uncertain who the perpetrator was and when this entire incident had occurred.” The officer explained.
The officer in charge was only a low rank district officer and was in no position to intervene with any major cases, after bringing the main person who had reported this incident over, he proceeded to contact the special operations team. Since it was better to leave it to these professionals to question the person themselves.
Sergeant Jiang nodded as his team went up to the fourth floor immediately. The moment they arrived on the fourth floor, they noticed the body was already placed on the stretcher while Bai Mo was doing a final sweep, while the rest of the forensics team were gathering samples of blood and fingerprints from the surrounding area.
As she proceeded to examine the body for a brief moment, she stood up while tucking her hair at the back of her ear as she gently sighed. She seemed exhausted.
“The cause of death for the deceased was suffocation. The time of death is between one to two A.M. There were two lines around the deceased’s neck that were both caused by the rope.” Bai Mo pointed at the bruised marks at the bottom of Feng Haoli’s nape with her gloved up hands. She said, “This one though, this was caused by someone strangling him from behind.”
She then pointed at the mark slightly above the victim’s mandibles. “This one was caused when the deceased was being suspended on the door frame, since this mark has an upward angle and was rubbing against the back of the deceased’s ear. Another notable thing would be the joints of his fingers showed clear signs of friction burn caused by the rope, possibly it was caused by a struggle. However, it’s hard to determine in detail at the moment, however, it’s uncertain if the victim was strangled to death by someone then suspended on the doorframe, or was simply unconscious after being strangled before being suspended and were left for dead.”
“The marks on the victim’s fingers were caused during his first struggle from being suffocated, and he was dead the first time he had been strangled. It was after he was dead did the assailant suspend him on the doorframe.” Qi Youxuan said as he approached the side of the body then proceeded to examine the body while squatting next to the deceased.
Everyone present stared at him confused, as Bai Mo looked at Qi Youxuan with a surprised look on her face. She said, “How do you know? Even if were to examine this entire incident in great detail when we get back, the conclusion would still be uncertain.”
