Chapter 1077: Unexpected

Helian Weiwei reminded Guo Tingting, “Don’t forget, when we passed the third stage, the recorded voice mentioned that until now, none of you know what sin you have committed. That means he’s not going to stop his crimes, because to him, Dong Sichun’s death has something to do with each one of you, and he still hates all of you.”

“What you’re saying is too terrifying.” Guo Tingting’s entire body trembled. “He still wants to kill a second person here? How could he do that in front of everyone?”

Helian Weiwei’s voice was very indifferent. “When Zhang Heng died, wasn’t it also in front of everyone?”

“No, I still don’t believe it.” Guo Tingting bit her lip. “There must be some misunderstanding.”

Helian Weiwei looked at her. “There is no misunderstanding. I have a guess in my heart, but it’s not convenient to tell you guys now. Let’s go to the next stage first because there still something I need to find in order to confirm who the murderer is.”

“Of course, I’m also here to warn the murderer, don’t dream of making a move in front of me.” Helian Weiwei picked up the iron lock, turned around and said, “Be careful, you’ll lose more than you gain.”

The expressions of the two boys were different, but they looked at Helian Weiwei with the same unwillingness.

Helian Weiwei laughed lightly, as if she didn’t care what kind of gaze they were looking at her with. Dong Si Chun jumped off the building on April 17th.

The things in this room pointed to the time.

That meant that the password to unlocking the lock on the rooftop was Dong Sichun’s death anniversary, 0417.

Kacha!

The lock on the door was unlocked and a sliding door wooden closet popped out. Once a person entered the wooden cabinet, they could use their arms to support the wall and enter the next part of the room.

The wooden closet wasn’t very big. At most, it could only accommodate one person.

In other words, when they reached this position, they had to pass through one by one.

Helian Weiwei’s eyes narrowed. “Who was the first one to enter this wooden closet the last time?”

“Me. ” Chen Feiyang stood out. “The last time we were here, I was the first one.”

Helian Weiwei smiled. “Not all of you went in, right?”

“That’s right. Only myself, Zhang Heng and Xiaodong went in.” Chen Feiyang sneered. “What are you thinking about now?”

Helian Weiwei tapped the wooden closet with her finger. “Zhang Heng was killed at this stage. Only those who went in had the chance to make a move.”

“So you still think that one of us is the murderer?” Chen Feiyang continued to sneer. “Just because Sichun died, we’re going to kill all our friends? Don’t you think that saying this is too far-fetched?”

“Mr. Chen.” Helian Weiwei interrupted Chen Feiyang’s words. “What if Dong Sichun didn’t commit suicide and it turned out to be a homicide? Wouldn’t the murderer have a reason to kill in order to avenge her?”

Everyone was shocked by Helian Weiwei’s words.

Guo Tingting and Xiao Jingtian in particular, looked at each other and saw the same expression on each other’s faces.

“A homicide? You mean someone killed Sichun?” The boy holding the walkie-talkie’s eyes started to shake.

Helian Weiwei’s voice remained calm. “That’s right. Since the police gathered information from all of you, it means that someone discovered something from all this information. It’s very simple, really. The police wanted to ask all of you questions because they suspected that Dong Sichun’s death was a homicide and not a suicide, but they didn’t blow it up at the request of the school and an influential company like Xiao Group. Since someone died in the school itself, calling it a suicide would make it sound less horrifying than a homicide, and they would only need to comfort the family without attracting any attention from the media. The police would also try not to think about the possibility of a homicide, and they would need very concrete evidence to call it a homicide. That night, Dong Sichun’s roommate, Guo Tingting, didn’t tell the one in charge of the hostel that her roommate hadn’t come back yet, and between Dong Sichun’s death and the discovery of her body, six hours lapsed. Even if there was evidence on the rooftop, the murderer would have removed everything by then. So even though the police concluded that it was a suicide, the police files probably have other details that made them think it was a homicide.”

“I don’t understand anymore. What you’re saying is that the murderer killed Dong Sichun, then killed Zhang Heng?” Guo Tingting’s eyes were a little dazed as she said these words.

Helian Weiwei had a headache and pressed her forehead. It was indeed tiring to talk to people who did not have good reasoning powers.

However, there was a crucial secret that she had only just found out about!

“The person who killed Dong Sichun and the person who killed Zhang Heng are not the same person. This is a case within a case.” Helian Weiwei’s sharp gaze swept over everyone.

Guo Tingting felt a little scared. “Case within a case?”

“TO put it simply, someone guessed from whatever he heard from the police that one of you murdered Dong Sichun, so he started hating all of you and wanted to find a chance to kill all of you but couldn’t find the right chance to do so until you guys decided to come to this escape room, so he found a seamless way of killing you guys. Besides, this person knows that all of you are feeling guilty inside because of Dong Sichun, and he used this to make all of you live in fear of an imaginary danger while planning how to kill all of you. To the murderer, the one who’s most afraid of Dong Sichun’s haunting would be the most suspicious. So during this time, he observed all of you and concluded that it was Zhang Heng, but he also soon realized he had killed the wrong person, because Zhang Heng wasn’t the one who killed Dong Sichun back then.”

Helian Weiwei paused for a moment. “In other words, right now there are two murderers hidden among you, one is the person who killed Dong Sichun and the other is the person who killed Zhang Heng.”

“This is too absurd! ” Chen Feiyang was the first person to growl.

The other three people also looked as if they had been punched by someone. They looked at each other warily.

Was Helian Weiwei’s guess too frightening?

But where did this strange and inexplicable feeling come from?

Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. “Whether this explanation is absurd or not, we’ll know once we walk through this closet. But since the murderer is so clever and is so familiar with all the traps inside this place, it will be dangerous for the person who walks in alone. In order to prevent anything bad from happening, as the person hired by all of you, I will go into this closet first, the rest of you can wait outside.”

“Even I have to wait outside?” Baili Jiajue, who had not spoken all this time, raised his head and looked deeply at Helian Weiwei. That pair of beautiful eyes made it impossible for people to refuse him.

Helian Weiwei stretched out her hand and pointed at the closet. “Only one person can enter at a time.”

“Then I’ll go in. You wait outside.”
