Chapter 853: Chapter 843: Su Qing, the Junior, Seeks Guidance

"Chen Jing, Li Chao, Zhang Shiyu, Wang Yue, Ni Zhendong..."

In the living room, Su Qing held his graduation photo and compared it with pictures on his phone. He realized that when he transferred schools, there were 13 students, including Chen Jing, with a total of five female classmates and eight males.

He had a suspicion that the killer might be among these eight people.

After all, for someone to know him and be related to Zhang Shunzhi, it could only be someone from this group.

Certainly, it can’t be ruled out that someone outside this group heard something and used it, even if there’s no killer here, someone surely knows something.

But he just couldn’t understand, did it have to go this far?

Based on what he knows, the girl named Zhang Shunzhi was a mute, seemed to have mental issues, and after finishing third grade, she stopped going to school.

Meaning, when all students switched schools to continue studying, the two should have lost contact.

Given the circumstances, developing a relationship is already quite unusual, let alone revenge killing.

Did she have no parents or family? What kind of person would be so impulsive?

Thinking from another perspective, if Shen Yi encountered such a situation, he might also lose his senses and resort to mad revenge, but he’d still consider his family unless he lost sanity on the spot.

But the other party seemed unusually calm, or perhaps insane, leaving his name after killing and disposing of the body to involve him.

At this moment, Su Qing once again drew a simple relationship diagram on the coffee table, marking the circle representing the killer with the word ’classmate’.

What does the other party know him for, what are they trying to achieve using him?

How to make the other party actively seek him out?

Among these eight people, frankly, using elimination, he could narrow it down with some time.

But a thought kept warning him not to do this, he didn’t know why.

Sure, if the police found other evidence, it would be ideal, he could confidently slack off, and even if the outcome was undesirable, a sigh of regret would be enough.

But every time he thought this, he was reminded of Zhang Shunzhi’s case.

He looked at the photo on the table, focusing on the small girl in the corner, even in primary school, it was clear she wasn’t unattractive.

Such a girl, motherless from childhood, raised by a stepmother, father indifferent to her, was mute and seemingly mentally troubled.

She never did anything bad, yet all worldly sufferings seemed to befall her, encountering a scumbag, and the stepmother chose settlement for money.

Good people seemingly are always hurt, while bad ones escape punishment, is this what justice should be like?

He knew the killer was wrong now, committing crimes, but... if no one upheld justice for her, violence might be the last resort.

Su Qing’s mind constantly struggled, as two thoughts clashed in his mind, fingers unintentionally brushed against Zhang Shunzhi’s face in the photo.

The next second, a narration prompt sounded.

[She was merely unable to speak, originally not mentally troubled, just shy due to physical defects, but grew more introverted with age and environmental factors. People’s looks differed, making her psyche somewhat different from others.

She understood everything, she just didn’t speak. After seeing through life’s essence, on a sunny afternoon, she died amidst rumors.]

Upon hearing the narration, Su Qing felt as if struck by lightning, a current coursing through him.

Immediately, overwhelming sorrow swept over him, realizing she was a normal person.

If she had been mentally disturbed, deep in suffering, she might not feel pain, but as a normal person...

Yet considering, if not normal, how could she, after such events, abruptly choose to drown?

She’d understood everything from the start until this moment, and Su Qing slowly closed his eyes, as the two previously balanced thoughts started leaning one way.

The next second, Su Qing’s head began swelling, as a warm stream overflowed from his nose, dripping on his thigh.

"Ah, what’s wrong with you!!"

At this time, Shen Yi’s startled voice came, prompting Su Qing to open his eyes, instinctively touching, finding his fingers covered in blood.

The bright red drops fell continuously, vigorously, seeing this, Su Qing swiftly rose, stooping, yet still staining some clothes.

"Nothing, nothing, just a nosebleed!"

Su Qing spoke while grabbing two tissues and rushing to the bathroom.

Hiss hiss hiss

Slap slap slap

"Ah~~ Gently, gently!" Su Qing’s face seemed to wear a mask of pain.

"Stop whining, don’t move!"

Shen Yi spoke followed by loud slaps.

Ten minutes later, Su Qing leaned back on the sofa holding his reddened forehead, nostrils stuffed with tissues soaked in blood.

"Sis, it’s my forehead, not my butt, you can’t hit like that!" With his nose blocked, Su Qing spoke muffled.

"Be grateful, this is my hometown method, as soon as you have a nosebleed, splash cold water on your forehead, it works every time!" Shen Yi sat beside him, wearing a black nightdress, looking cool, legs swinging before him, laughing cheerfully.

At this, Su Qing rolled his eyes helplessly: "Ten minutes, a full ten minutes, are you sure it’s your slapping that helped and not my own recovery?"

A nosebleed, simply put, is capillaries in the nasal cavity rupturing, that little cut isn’t serious, no need for a hospital trip, it heals quickly.

Speaking, Su Qing removed tissues from his nose, feeling no more bleeding, he sighed in relief.

"Anyway, I don’t care, I healed you, I’m really skillful," Shen Yi spread her hands, then continued questioning:

"What’s up with this intense heat, can’t stand it anymore? Grandmaster Su’s seeing beauty outside?"

She said, lifting her leg, rubbing his with her fair foot.

Su Qing: →_→

"Only you as a girl here, what do you think!"

"Oh~ So I’m not doing my girlfriend duties well, leaving you frustrated, otherwise..." Shen Yi spoke, raising a brow, her teasing expression smiled.

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn’t hold back, slapped the table suddenly, standing up vigorously: "Bring it on, afraid of you? Today I..."

But before finishing, dizziness struck, nearly collapsed.

Seeing this, Shen Yi was startled, hurriedly rose, holding his arm, asked worriedly: "Are you alright? Too much blood loss, weakened?"

Su Qing:...

Darned blood loss leading to weakness, if that were so, he’d be utterly frail.

Moreover, he’s not sick, not frequently nosebleeding, unlikely to be anemic.

Though bleeding was significant earlier.

"Alright, saw you staring at the photo for ages, thinking about the case, stop pressuring yourself, have energy come at sis, waste effort, hurry, wash and sleep.

Considering your blood loss today, weakness, I’m sparing you for now!" Shen Yi spoke empathetically.

Such words, any normal man couldn’t resist.

Su Qing swiftly encircled, lifting Shen Yi by the waist amid her surprise.

"Today you and I settle scores, decide life or death, junior Su Qing challenges you!"

Shen Yi sneered.

"Can you handle this!"

Su Qing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
