Что находится в пруду

Глава 31

Jiang Shichao quickly thought for a moment, then called a few people in the ward who knew the situation outside, and explained the general situation to them.

Then, tasks were assigned to each person.

The principal is currently entangled with the fire department and unable to leave; Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen are still in danger and it is not advisable for them to go too far.

Many are involved in this matter. Currently, only six people are capable of taking action: the dean, Leng Xin, Jiang Shichao, Lin Ding, Duan Yun, and Zhao Xuejun.

The hospital director must remain at the hospital to monitor Lu Zaifei's condition closely, and his departure at this time would also attract attention.

The hospital staff and Lu Zaifei's roommate were dissatisfied. This left only five people to go out. Leng Xin was indifferent to Lu Zaifei.

They were quite familiar with the situation, and Duan Yun had previously cooperated with Leng Xin in the investigation; the two of them were responsible for finding Lu Zaifei.

The non-medical reasons behind the illness (if any); Jiang Shichao and Lin Ding were responsible for meeting up with Zhao Xuejun and then searching for...

The students in room 401, please notify the dean immediately after achieving your goal.

Reply [50]: After discussing it, everyone went their separate ways. Before leaving, the dean repeatedly reminded them: No matter what happens, ensure that you...

Personal safety is the top priority.

Compared to Jiang Shichao's task, Leng Xin and Duan Yun's task was undoubtedly much more difficult. Jiang Shichao and his group clearly understood...

They knew they were looking for the students in room 401 and could easily obtain their information. And Leng Xin and his...

Having no knowledge of what one is looking for, neither knowing what it is nor its characteristics, it can...

It can be as small as a needle, or it can be a bed, a pair of shoes, or anything else.

Searching for something you don't know in such a vast campus is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Based on previous incidents, when role swapping occurs, the people and objects involved in the role swap are...

There is usually physical contact between them. If we consider this as a pattern, then when Lu Zaifei felt...

Any object that had come into contact with his body before he became unwell could be the object they are looking for.

Lu Zaifei certainly wouldn't encounter a lot of things in a day, but compared to aimlessly searching the entire school, this Fan...

The encirclement had undoubtedly shrunk many times over. Leng Xin and the others only needed to search for this item in the places Lu Zaifei had visited before his illness.

That's all you need.

Although the scope has been narrowed down considerably, investigating each case individually will still require a significant amount of time.

Leng Xin continued to ponder.

It's still based on speculation from past events, including all the role-swapping incidents and the abnormalities in the individuals' bodies.

Almost all of these occurred immediately upon the exchange, meaning that they happened at the same time Lu Zaifei felt unwell.

The exchange only began after that. This further narrowed the scope of the investigation; all that was needed was to know was that Lu Zaifei's initial discomfort was due to childbirth.

It doesn't matter when you were born.

Thinking of this, Leng Xin immediately asked Lu Zaifei's roommate for details.

According to them, Lu Zaifei first told them he felt tired after returning to his dormitory following a physics lab class.

At that time, everyone was enjoying their break after class, and some were preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch. One classmate asked Lu Zaifei...

When asked whether to eat in the cafeteria or go out, Lu Zaifei said he was too tired to go anywhere.

Although he said he was very tired, he still looked quite well and didn't appear ill, so no one thought...

Take it to heart.

What really caught my roommate's attention was when they came back from the cafeteria together. At first, he was fine, but...

He didn't talk much, his steps gradually became slow, and he repeatedly said he was very tired. When they arrived at the dormitory and started eating, he...

She seemed to have difficulty even holding chopsticks. After barely finishing her meal, she collapsed onto the bed to rest.

Based on the above, it seems that Lu Zaifei's role reversal with that item occurred during their trip to the cafeteria.

Not long ago, Leng Xin paid special attention to the time. They went to eat 40 minutes after returning to the dormitory, and in those 40 minutes...

No one could pinpoint exactly when Lu Zaifei told others he was tired.

But for Leng Xin, that was enough.

Although previous role-swapping events always revealed unusual behavior immediately upon the start of the swap, Lu Zaifei...

It's possible that when one initially feels tired, they don't realize the severity of that fatigue; that is, when...

When someone tells others they are tired, it's very likely they've been feeling tired for some time. Therefore, Lu Zaifei and that...

The specific moment when the role-swapping occurred should be from the moment he first mentioned his physical discomfort.

Let's go back a period of time.

Judging from the speed at which Lu Zaifei's body deteriorated after being admitted to the hospital, from the initial feeling of fatigue to his eventual inability to bear it any longer...

The time it takes for someone to tell you about this discomfort should not exceed 30 minutes.

Lu Zaifei expressed his fatigue when a classmate asked him where to eat. Several classmates were already there at the time.

The fact that the students were preparing lunchboxes suggests that it was not long before their mealtime.

The time should not exceed 10 minutes.

They stayed in the dormitory for a full 40 minutes before eating. During those 40 minutes, Lu Zaifei didn't...

He didn't leave the dormitory even half a step. This means that from the time Lu Zaifei entered the dormitory until he mentioned his physical fatigue, there were 20—

A 30-minute time interval. This is roughly consistent with the time that Leng Xin calculated should be calculated backwards.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Lu Zaifei switched roles with that item in the dormitory.

Furthermore, based on the incidents that occurred in dormitories 701, 601, and 401, similar incidents all took place within the dormitories.

This almost definitively establishes Room 501 as the venue for role-swapping.

Their search area was narrowed down to dormitory 501.

After listening to Leng Xin's analysis, Duan Yun was completely impressed.

Next, they were to search room 501, which, in Duan Yun's words, was a "carpet search".

His cold-hearted identity as a doctor allowed him to enter room 501 effortlessly. His reason was that he wanted to see Lu.

They were no longer using his usual living environment and belongings, in order to find the cause of his illness. Upon hearing this, a student from room 501 immediately...

He led them to the dormitory.
