Schoolhouse of Wronged Souls

Chapter 26

Everyone present. At this moment, only Xu Xian, Li Ke, and Zhang Xiaodi were in the room, while the other three had already entered that mysterious and eerie place.

Their fates are unknown in the basement. The three people left behind are deeply worried about the other three.

"Alright, now let's take a look at what we have to say." Jiang Yu's words broke the suffocating silence in the room.

peaceful.

"I think you're fully aware of our every move," Xu Xian said solemnly, looking at Jiang Yu sitting opposite him.

.

“Yes.” Jiang Yu got up and rummaged under the desk in front of her, then pulled out something about the size of a button battery.

west put it on the table.

Reply [33]: "What is this? Ah, it's not a bugging device, is it..." Zhang Xiaodi said jokingly.

“Yes, it’s a bugging device.” Jiang Yu did not deny it.

"Ah...you even used a bugging device. I didn't even know when you put it there. Do you also have hidden cameras?"

Xiao Di stuck out her tongue, surprised that she had guessed correctly by accident.

"What do you all think?" She got up again and took a small, slender object from the crack by the door.

This made Zhang Xiaodi and Li Ke, who were inside the room, somewhat uneasy.

Zhang Xiaodi is a simple-minded person; his first reaction was, "Oh no, they've seen everything."

"You...uh...when did you put this on? We didn't even notice!" Li Ke, the dormitory head, was worried about his own...

I blamed myself for being careless for a long time.

"You must have put it up right after the house was renovated, right?" At this moment, Xu Xian's calm demeanor impressed Jiang Yu.

They were impressed and nodded in affirmation of his correct guess.

"Before I explain all this, I want to show you something," Jiang Yu said, quickly steer the conversation back to the main topic.

She took a thick stack of papers out of her briefcase and placed it on the table.

"These are some data and pictures I found in the bureau's archives and the city library's historical archives. I think there must be something in them."

"It contains what you're looking for, and I believe the truth of the whole story is also hidden within it."

"Why are you helping us?" Xu Xian ignored the table and stared intently at Jiang Yu. He absolutely trusted Jiang Yu.

She genuinely wanted to help them, but her motives remained elusive. What exactly were her intentions? This was Xu Xianfei's question.

Things I've always wanted to know.

Jiang Yu remained silent for a moment, but the expression on her face told Xu Xian that Jiang Yu must be related to this strange incident. As for what...

Given their relationship, he believed she would eventually tell them.

“You guys… take a look at this…” After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu pulled out a slightly yellowed photo from the stack of documents and handed it to them.

them.

"This is...this is a photo of Liu Ye before his death!?" they exclaimed in surprise as they took the photo. It's no wonder they were so astonished.

From this series of deaths and gestures, they had obtained almost all the data they could, except for information on Liu Ye.

It's pitiful. To be able to get a photo of her before she died is undoubtedly a very rare thing.

"Yes, this is a photo of her when she was 20 years old. Not long after this photo was taken, she... hanged herself." Jiang Yu's voice was now...

A few sobs escaped his lips.

"She has a little sister with her, she's quite cute. Is she her sister?" Zhang Xiaodi asked.

“Yes, she was only 10 years old that year. Do you know who she is?” Jiang Yu asked, head down.

"You look so familiar, like...like...ah...like you!" Zhang Xiaodi exclaimed loudly.

Jiang Yu raised her head, her face already streaked with tears. Her voice trembled as she uttered an unexpected answer.

case.

"You guessed right, that's me. I'm her younger sister."

"How could that be? Aren't you surnamed Jiang?" Li Ke considerately handed a tissue to Jiang Yu and asked, puzzled.

"That was changed after my sister died." Jiang Yu, being a seasoned police officer, quickly calmed himself down.

"My name should be Liu Yu. My parents were both miners, and they both died in a cave-in when I was five years old. My older sister..."

She was only 15 years old that year, and she single-handedly and stubbornly supported her family with a meager pension from her parents and the help of relatives. Later she

She was admitted to the university with excellent grades and received a full scholarship and tuition subsidy. Three days before she hanged herself...

She took me to have this photo taken, and she also told me that she doesn't want to find a boyfriend right now because she doesn't want others to look down on her.

She said she would make my life good and support me through college. Then we talked about many, many dreams. But I never expected… I never expected…

The school informed relatives that the older sister had committed suicide because of a broken heart. Because of a broken heart? Ha—ha—that's impossible.

A girl who stubbornly supports her family despite the loss of both parents, a girl with many, many dreams yet to be realized...

A girl who had never even considered dating, a girl with a young sister to support, would commit suicide because of a broken heart?

Is it possible? Do you think it's possible? From that moment on, I vowed to become a policeman and to find out the truth behind my sister's suicide.

I accepted Jiang's current adoptive father. He is really good to me and fulfilled my sister's dream of sending me to university. And I became...

After the police arrived, I knew I needed certain authority to truly investigate this matter, so I took a seat at the scene as quickly as possible.

The location. While investigating this long-forgotten 'suicide' case, I discovered things weren't as simple as I'd imagined, but I...

Everyone thought it was a deliberate conspiracy, never imagining it was a series of bizarre murders. Until recently...

After the two sudden deaths and the dismemberment case in your dormitory, your actions caught my attention, fueled by my police instincts.

I know that by following you, I can uncover the truth, but there are some things I cannot directly intervene in. Therefore, I...

I am indeed somewhat uneasy about using some of my personal power, but in order to find out the true cause of my sister's death, even if it means I have to sit on...

"I'm willing to go to jail. I hope you can understand my feelings and accept my decision to work with you to find out the truth of this matter."

Reply [34]: After Jiang Yu finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xian with questioning and expectant eyes, because she knew that Xu Xian was now among the children.

The most persuasive leader, once he agrees to her joining, will surely have no problem with the others.

Xu Xian remained silent for a long time. Then, he solemnly said to Jiang Yu, "Do you believe in the existence of ghosts? Have you thought about the whole thing?"

Could it be the work of a vengeful spirit, rather than a human? Have you considered the potential danger to your life if you get involved in this?"

"First, I don't really believe in ghosts, but there are too many inexplicable things in this world, and I won't make any rash judgments about their existence."

No, it doesn't. If it's proven to exist, I'll try to accept it. Second, during my investigation of the whole matter, I discovered this...

There are many inexplicable mysteries in this case, and regardless of whether they are man-made, it is my duty to uncover them. Thirdly, [the following text appears to be incomplete and requires further context: "to act..."]

My life as a police officer is not something I can decide myself, especially since my purpose in life is to find out the truth behind my sister's "suicide."
