La novia de los ojos fantasma 2

Capítulo 20

Just as they were feeling a little scared, they heard someone calling their names. Looking up, they saw Zhao Xuejun standing in front of them.

Reply [32]: Zhao Xuejun had just sat down next to them when a small black shadow suddenly darted out from under Lin Ding's chair,

With a "whoosh," it darted onto Zhao Xuejun's lap, sat up straight, and there it was—the black cat.

"Was it you who was rubbing against my feet just now?" Lin Ding asked, staring at the black cat. The black cat stroked its whiskers.

Ignore him. Zhao Xuejun smiled and said, "It's just a little naughty, don't be angry." Lin Ding glared at the cat for a while longer, then...

Fang didn't care at all, and actually lay down and fell fast asleep.

"What did you find out?" Jiang Shichao asked. Zhao Xuejun was in charge of investigating Xiao Guang and Liu Yongze's actions before their deaths.

I asked their roommates, and they said they didn't do anything before that game; they just chatted together.

They spent their time playing chess, snacking, and otherwise doing nothing out of the ordinary. Furthermore, to show that although the two were opponents on the court...

However, it did not damage their friendship at all. They showed mercy to each other during the game, and the game ended in a draw.

"What? A draw?" Jiang Shichao stood up abruptly upon hearing this.

In the television program that Mr. Ho saw, before the television image completely disappeared, Mr. Ho heard a...

A very loud voice said "It's a draw," which, according to Uncle He, was most likely referring to Go. Jiang Shichao had been trying to figure out...

Why did Bai Longying and Zhu Huan target Xiao Guang and Liu Yongze? It now seems the key lies in this draw.

What needs to be clarified now is whether the game of chess played by Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen by Luoyan Lake 23 years ago was also a draw.

The game ended. The group then wolfed down their food.

While they were busy devouring their food, Zhao Xuejun told them the police station's conclusion.

The police's public conclusion was that Xiao Guang and Liu Yongze died of sudden illness and natural causes. However, Zhao Xue...

Jun's cousin, Xiaomin, secretly told her that the police couldn't actually determine the cause of their deaths. All the details of their deaths...

The cause of death was determined to be drowning, but this conclusion contradicts the testimonies of thousands of witnesses at the scene, none of whom had ever encountered a case like this before.

To avoid unnecessary speculation in society, the matter was dropped.

The Public Security Bureau's conclusion and Leng Xin's conclusion are clearly the same, which at least proves that they did not go astray on this point.

After dinner, they spent some time in the computer room, trying to find out whether the game of chess from 23 years ago was a draw.

All the materials focused on discussions of people and events; the small game of chess was completely ignored. (The four players finished their game.)

Despite their efforts, they ultimately gained nothing.

Reply [33]: Before we knew it, it was already 2 PM. We all felt overwhelmed and had no clues. We didn't know what to do next.

How to get there? Just as I stepped out of the computer room, I bumped into Leng Xin hurrying towards me; she was clearly looking for them. (Morning)

Jiang Shichao and the others were all kicked out and knew nothing of what happened afterward. Upon seeing Leng Xin, they immediately...

They pressed him for an answer. He coldly recounted the situation, and they were all horrified: all the strange events they knew of had occurred.

This time it happened to the principal, but it happened to a student, which shows that the impact of this incident is much greater than they expected.

After listening to the principal's explanation of role reversal, they all felt it made a lot of sense, but they couldn't understand what this situation implied.

What is the meaning behind it?

After leaving the infirmary, Leng Xin immediately went to find Liu Qi, wanting to know more details. However, what Liu Qi knew...

He had already been told everything. Liu Qi had overheard Feng Zhengyang and Gong Hao arguing about who would live and who would die, which made Leng Xin very suspicious.

A sense of unease crept in, but his intuition told him that the issue they were arguing about might be the crux of the whole matter. He went alone to Liu Qi...

Their classroom—because of the incident, the campus police had cordoned off the area and were not allowing anyone to enter. Fortunately, the school...

Chang is now in cahoots with Leng Xin; with just one phone call, Leng Xin was able to get in smoothly.

This was a very ordinary classroom. Several pieces of chalk were scattered haphazardly on the teacher's desk, and there were... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly.)

A puddle of water, with a few water plants in it—this must be the water Liu Qi mentioned that "drowned" Feng Zhengyang and Gong Hao.

The students were gone; the classroom was empty except for two desks in the last row with books on them. He walked over and picked one up casually.

Picking up one of the books, I saw Feng Zhengyang's name on the cover. The book on the other desk was undoubtedly Gong Hao's.

He examined the books but found nothing unusual. Remembering the principal's experience, he decided to teach...

The chairs in the room all wobbled; they were all sturdy and showed no signs of falling apart. It seemed the problem lay with the principal.

Things didn't repeat themselves here. He sat in Feng Zhengyang's seat, still unable to understand their relationship with those two football players.

What did these athletes have in common that made the two deaths so similar? Both their desk drawers were empty.

There were no clues. Just as he was about to leave dejectedly, something caught his attention.

The desks in the classroom were the old-fashioned kind, with flip-top drawers. The drawer fronts were open in the wind.

Inside, there is a table arranged in both vertical and horizontal columns. The table occupies the entire panel and is composed of many small squares, each about half a centimeter in length and width.

There are many small black dots at the intersections of the lines. The table was drawn with a ballpoint pen; the color is very new, so it seems the drawing wasn't done well.

After a long time, he observed carefully and found that some of the small black dots were solid, while others were hollow.

Leng Xin, of course, understood what it was. In fact, all the students had seen something like this before; it was a homemade...

A chessboard. However, this chessboard wasn't for Go, but for Gomoku (Five in a Row). He looked at the game on the board.

There are five rows of five black pieces each in the hollow and solid black dots, indicating that the two sides have reached a draw.

Leng Xin paid such close attention to this game because it was written in the lower corner of the board: "Feng and Gong's decisive battle in 2003 AD".

October 20, 2019.

October 20th is today. Therefore, it seems likely that the initial argument between Feng Zhengyang and Gong Hao stemmed from a game of chess.

The so-called life-or-death struggle is nothing more than a game of chess.

Leng Xin carefully checked the classroom again but found nothing else.

When Jiang Shichao and the others heard the appearance of a Go board, they couldn't help but exclaim "Huh?" Then they heard that it was two people...

The game was tied, and they understood what had happened. They simply told Leng Xin what they had found out.

Leng Xin also noticed the relationship between a draw and death in the game.

Based on their current understanding, both deaths occurred after the deceased had played a game of chess to a draw.

Therefore, there were two deaths each time. If this hypothesis is correct, it means that Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan were the targets of their revenge.

It refers to all players who draw their games.

The Go club at the Third Normal School has always been famous, with hundreds of people playing Go every day. Although most people play Go by...

The goal is to win or lose, but draws are always possible. If that's the case… The group thought about this…

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Zhao Xuejun said in a panic, "Let's quickly tell our classmates, tell them not to..."

"The game ended in a draw!"

"What do you mean? What's your reason? Say there's something fishy going on?" Leng Xin asked with a bitter smile.

This question stumped everyone. Indeed, if this reason were given out, probably no one would believe it.

"It's fine if nobody believes it, but I'm afraid some people will be stubborn and deliberately play a draw!" Duan Yun also said.

wry smile.

That's quite possible. The Third Normal School has plenty of "elites" who don't believe in superstitions, so the situation Duan Yun described is almost certain.

It will happen.

Several students racked their brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. They sighed coldly, "It seems we'll have to ask those two..."

He's an old fox.

The principal and the dean—the "old fox" Leng Xin referred to—after hearing what the students had to say, were very...

They agreed with their analysis. They also felt the situation was serious, and that if it wasn't addressed, the death toll would continue to rise.

But the principal couldn't think of any good solutions either.

“I do have an idea,” someone chimed in.

The students, unaware that anyone else was in the office, were startled by the sudden noise.

One jump.

The principal's office had a screen, and the sound was coming from behind it. As the voices spoke, the screen...

Two people emerged from behind the wind.

These were two middle-aged men, one of whom was very tall, handsome, and had a refined air. The other was...

They were slightly short and of ordinary appearance, yet possessed a refined and elegant demeanor. The two men smiled as they looked at the students.

The taller man spoke, standing in front of Jiang Shichao and looking at him with great interest: "This is..."

"Is this the Seven Star Child you mentioned? He's quite adorable." Jiang Shichao smiled at him and then turned his gaze to the principal.

"Why are you two out here?" the principal scolded them. The two of them looked at the principal with smiles on their faces.

He smiled helplessly, "Sigh, you've always been like this."

"Let me introduce them," the dean said, "These two are the chess players from our Third Normal School back then."

The Saint and the Chess Fanatic—Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen.
