When Ruan Qing wanted to go over to check, another explosion occurred on the side of the overhead panel near the window.
The entire overhead panel was destroyed.
After the explosion, the wall fell off and smashed onto several bodies onto the laboratory floor, burying them.
It was as if the overhead panel had fallen from the explosion in the first place.
Moreover, the explosion was controlled very precisely, and the entrance where Ruan Qing and the others were remained unaffected.
Ruan Qing immediately stepped back at the first sign of the explosion, and in the end, he silently watched the collapsed overhead panel.
He didn’t even need to check to know that the projector was definitely destroyed.
Clearly, the culprit had tampered with the overhead panel, and this explosion buried the projector and any traces that could have been left.
This culprit was even more cunning than he had imagined.
Ruan Qing hadn’t encountered someone this cunning for a long time, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his beautiful eyes.
Even his heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster.
He would definitely find the culprit.
Ruan Qing looked at the laboratory, now resembling ruins, and spoke in his mind, ‘System, can I choose instances on my own?’
‘If possible, let’s choose instances like this in the future.’
System: [...No.]
[Players entering instances are randomly selected and cannot choose on their own.]
Ruan Qing expressed some regret at the words. Then he pretended to have just realized something and took out his phone to report to the police.
Shortly after the second explosion, other classmates rushed over.
Seeing the two standing in the laboratory, some were surprised, but their faces changed when they saw the blood and flesh scattered on the ground.
Some classmates couldn’t help but vomit.
The police arrived quickly, and the investigation results still showed it was just an accident.
But no one believed it was just an accident anymore.
In just half a month, there were so many incidents at Hengming University. Obviously, this was not just an accident.
Someone was intentionally killing people, and each time, it became more sinister.
This time, six people died in the explosion.
The culprit has almost reached the point of being unscrupulous.
The police immediately opened a detailed investigation on this side.
Ruan Qing and Ning Mufeng, as the first witnesses after the incident, were questioned by the police in detail.
However, no one considered them as suspects.
After all, one was almost killed by a falling chandelier, and the other seemed impossible to be the culprit.
The police’s questioning was very detailed, and Ruan Qing’s answers were also thorough.
This included mentioning the confession written in blood.
The culprit seemed to no longer fear that someone would know they were intentionally committing murder.
They now had no intention of hiding their existence at all.
As if they were confident that they wouldn’t be discovered.
And indeed, that seemed to be the case.
Even if the police connected these incidents and conducted a detailed investigation again, there was still no progress.
Because both Ning Mufeng and Ruan Qing were special cases, the police didn’t immediately let them leave after questioning.
After all, the next target of the culprit could very well be Ruan Qing.
But the police, looking at the quiet figure sitting in the corner, felt somewhat surprised.
Would someone like this go and snatch someone else’s performance opportunity?
Maybe... it’s a case of not truly understanding someone, judging them base on their appearance.
The police probably didn’t notice that they had been staring at the person in the corner for a long time.
But Ning Mufeng saw it.
He glanced at Ruan Qing, then swiftly moved to sit next to him, blocking the police’s view.
While Ruan Qing was still contemplating the culprit’s modus operandi, he caught sight of Ning Mufeng sitting beside him from the corner of his eye, startling him so much that he almost jumped.
Ruan Qing immediately stood up, intending to move away from Ning Mufeng.
But Ning Mufeng’s reaction was even faster. He grabbed Ruan Qing’s wrist, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Do you hate me that much?”
Ruan Qing tried to pull his hand away, but it didn’t budge. He looked at Ning Mufeng and coldly replied, “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to hate you?”
Ning Mufeng lightly laughed. “Sure, you can.”
“Just curious. Where did I offend you?”
Ning Mufeng looked into Ruan Qing’s eyes. “Since the beginning of the school year, you’ve been looking at me with that kind of gaze. I remember I haven’t offended you.”
Ruan Qing, looking down at Ning Mufeng, said, “Does one need a reason to dislike someone?”
“I just dislike you. What about it?”
Ning Mufeng looked at the person with a gloomy expression, speaking with certainty, “You’re jealous of me.”
Ruan Qing seemed to react angrily, as if someone had hit a nerve, forcefully pushing away Ning Mufeng’s hand, “Jealous of you?”
“What is there to envy about you?”
Ruan Qing sneered, “Envious that you have a twisted killer who likes you?”
“Jealous that being close to you means death?”
Ning Mufeng tilted his head at the words, revealing a clean and bright smile. “Who knows?”
“Maybe it’s just jealousy of my good looks.”
Ning Mufeng, who usually smiled politely most of the time, now wore an exceptionally bright smile.
Ning Mufeng’s appearance gave off a gentle and refined feeling, without any aggression or hostility.
In contrast to the Manager or Chu Yi, even when they smiled, they exuded a sense of oppression. However, Ning Mufeng gave off a gentlemanly and indifferent vibe.
Especially when he smiled. It was like sunlight shining on him, creating a sense of warmth and cleanliness.
It made people unable to help but be moved.
Ruan Qing didn’t think that Ning Mufeng was truly as he appeared.
The more outstanding a person, the more likely they could be twisted.
Even if he wasn’t the culprit, he might have used the culprit to eliminate troublesome people.
Ruan Qing had an expression of not wanting to talk to Ning Mufeng, directly walking to the other side.
The police worked efficiently, and they had already copied the school’s surveillance footage.
Due to the special circumstances of Ning Mufeng and Ruan Qing, the police allowed the two to watch the surveillance footage with them.
After all, both of them were involved parties, and they might discover something or notice something they couldn’t.
Everyone stared at the monitor, watching carefully, and Ruan Qing was no exception.
When the dead girl had contact with Ning Mufeng, it was in public, and when the dead girl died, it was also in public.
As if it was done on purpose.
Moreover, every time someone died while in contact with Ning Mufeng, there were no fewer than a hundred students present.
After Ruan Qing entered the vice president’s office, all the people present were familiar faces.
Even... Professor Chu Yi appeared multiple times in the surveillance.
There were simply too many people, making it difficult to identify the suspect.
Considering Ruan Qing was just a victimized student, he quietly observed from the sidelines without suggesting anything about witnessing interactions with Ning Mufeng or scenes of students who didn’t die.
Ruan Qing could investigate when he returned to Hengming University without exposing himself.
However, there was some progress. At least one thing could be confirmed.
The culprit must be someone from the physics department.
And it’s highly likely they had some knowledge of chemistry.
The body of the student who died suddenly in the classroom had already been buried, and with the family’s consent, it was sent for autopsy again.
Residual potassium chloride was found in the student’s body.
Potassium chloride injection was a means of euthanasia; a high concentration of potassium chloride could directly stop the heart, achieving an effect similar to sudden death.
Thank you very much for the chapter❤❤❤
