“Xiaoxiao, did you hear? Did you hear? Qi Shen won first place in the competition again.” The girl with a ponytail turned to the other girl with short hair, her face full of excitement, pride, and even some arrogance.
It was as if she herself had won first place.
“And he won by a landslide. Even the judges said his level has surpassed theirs.”
The girl with short hair was obviously the Xiaoxiao mentioned by the ponytail girl. She nodded excitedly. “Qi Shen deserves to be Qi Shen. I knew he would be first again.”
“Yeah, he’s handsome and comes from a good family. He’s simply the man of my dreams!” The ponytail girl clasped her hands to her chest, her face filled with longing, her tone still extremely excited.
The ponytail girl had delicate and pure features, her worshipful attitude making it hard to look away.
In contrast, Xiaoxiao wasn’t as remarkable. She watched the ponytail girl purse her lips, her eyes hiding a hint of emotion as she lowered them. “Lanlan, do you... want to confess to him?”
The ponytail girl shook her head with a look of disappointment. “You know Qi Shen, he’s so indifferent. So many people have confessed to him, but he never responded.”
“I suspect he only loves his piano.”
Xiaoxiao encouraged the ponytail girl, “How would you know if you don’t try? You’re the school flower. I even saw him smile at you last time. Maybe he actually likes you, too?”
The ponytail girl’s face lit up. “Really?”
Xiaoxiao nodded confidently.
The two girls excitedly discussed the details, completely unaware of the boy standing at the classroom door.
The boy held an envelope with a heart drawn on it. Upon hearing the ponytail girl’s intention to confess, he clenched the envelope tighter, his face filled with frustration and loneliness.
The players standing not far away noticed the scene.
The ponytail girl’s name was Lanlan, and Lanlan liked Qi Shen.
The girl named Xiaoxiao seemed a bit off; she was clearly encouraging Lanlan to confess.
And the boy at the door should like Lanlan, about to confess to her, only to overhear Lanlan planning to confess to Qi Shen.
So did the boy envy Qi Shen, leading him to kill Qi Shen?
The players exchanged glances. When the boy left, they followed him.
Then the players saw the boy entering Dormitory room 404 in Building A.
Obviously, he was indeed a student from room 404 in building A.
It’s highly likely that he really killed for love.
But in this private situation, why would the other three in the dormitory participate in the murder?
Players quickly understood why the other three got involved.
All four in Room 404 of Building A had motives.
No need to say much about the guy from the second bed who wanted to confess to Lanlan; obviously, it was a crime of passion.
The guy from the third bed liked the guy from the fourth bed. It seemed there was no motive, but the guy from the fourth bed disliked Qi Shen.
Because Qi Shen always overshadowed the guy from the fourth bed, even if he was outstanding, everyone could only see Qi Shen.
This time, Qi Shen won first place in the competition, pushing the dislike from the guy in the fourth bed to its peak.
So, the guys from the third and fourth beds also had motives.
Only the guy from the first bed had no motive. He liked a girl named Xiaoxiao, seemingly childhood sweethearts.
But three people with motives were enough to commit the crime together, as for why the guy from the first bed also participated...
Perhaps he witnessed the incident and was threatened, or maybe it was for brotherhood.
Initially, players thought it was like this, but unexpectedly, Lanlan died first.
In the eyes of others, it seemed like a suicide by jumping off the building.
Moreover, it was because she was rejected by Qi Shen after confessing, so she jumped off the building.
But players knew it wasn’t like that at all; Lanlan’s confession letter was never delivered.
She was pushed down the stairs by Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao had always envied Lanlan, and she also liked Qi Shen.
So, she conspired with the guy from the first bed to push Lanlan down the stairs, making it look like suicide after a rejected confession.
And she told others about it.
The guy from the second bed, knowing this, blamed Qi Shen for Lanlan’s death. Already discontent, he harbored resentment against Qi Shen.
The seeds of hatred gradually sprouted, turning him into a terrifying devil.
He knew that the guy from the fourth bed had always envied Qi Shen, so he approached him to plan the murder of Qi Shen together.
The boy on the third bed joined the plan because he liked the boy on the fourth bed. The boy on the first bed probably thought that if Qi Shen died, Xiaoxiao would return to her original state, so he also joined the plan.
These four casually decided the life and death of someone, making it even more terrifying than dealing with the devil.
As for the target, Qi Shen, he didn’t even know these four people or the two girls. He had no idea that someone was planning to confess to him. After all, he rarely attended classes and seldom appeared at school, so his classmates didn’t know him well.
They had been tracking the male student in Room 404 of Building A for several days, but they didn’t see Qi Shen in person, indicating that he rarely came to school.
Innocently, he became the scapegoat and the target of their plan.
Players: “...” That’s too tragic.
Wait, a player, looking at the group, suddenly froze and hesitated. “How many of us came in?”
“Seven,” answered another player confidently.
The player counted, “One, two, three, four, five...”
Only five people were there...
Thanks for the chapters :D
