Red was the color with the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum, and black was the opposite. When the two colors were combined, it created a unique visual effect.
The black house was like the night, and the red person was like blood. The two blended into one, and it was oppressive.
"The boy likes to daydream and draw when he's free. He doesn't go out to play, and he always locks himself in his room." The thin woman walked into the room. She held two glasses of water in her hands. "I don't want anything anymore. I just want him to grow up happily like a normal child. That's all I want."
The woman handed one of the glasses to Chen Ge and placed the other next to the boy. "Let's talk outside. He's afraid of strangers."
"Okay." Chen Ge returned to the living room with the glass of water. The woman sat across from him.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" The woman was cautious.
"Fan Yu does look quite pitiful. I believe he has been traumatized by something. To cure his illness, we have to find the root of the problem and then we can find the right medicine." Chen Ge voiced his thoughts. "You're his only family, and I can see how much you love him. Can I ask you a few more questions?"
The tanned and skinny woman nodded. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, but her forehead was covered in sweat.
"You said Fan Yu's parents disappeared because they were looking for him, so where was Fan Yu found?"
"Mu Yang High School. He was hiding in my brother's office."
"Mu Yang High School again? That school seems to have a lot of accidents."
"Who said it wasn't?" The woman sighed. "Mu Yang is the worst school in Jiujiang. I don't even know the purpose of its existence. It used to get into trouble, and fights even alerted the police."
"It's that serious?" Chen Ge listened carefully. The woman's words were much more convenient than going online to search for information.
"There's more." The woman straightened up and said seriously, "The school is not clean. According to the old people, the school was originally a crematorium, but due to the city's planning, it was demolished a long time ago. But think about it, if the school is built on top of that, it might attract some strange things. At that time, I tried to persuade my brother, but he wouldn't listen. "
"Why did your brother insist on being a teacher at Mu Yang High School?"
"His salary is high, and he has made mistakes before, so it's not easy for him to find a job. He wanted to earn money, but in the end, he harmed his sister-in-law."
"Made mistakes? Did he have a feud with someone? Could his disappearance be the work of an enemy? "Chen Ge immediately noticed the details in the woman's words.
"Not really. My brother likes to drink, and his alcohol tolerance is terrible. Because of this, he was expelled from his school and had a bad record in his file. There are only so many schools in Jiujiang, and everyone knows who has done what. That's why it's so hard for him to find a job. "
"Looks like it's not revenge."
"Definitely not."
The woman's words made Chen Ge narrow his eyes. "How can you be so sure?"
"I won't hide it from you." The woman took out a picture from the bottom of the drawer and placed it on the table. "Ever since Mu Yang High School was built, there was a classroom that was locked, and no students were allowed to enter. Other than the old headmaster, no one knew why. After the old headmaster passed away, it became an unsolved mystery. There were many legends about that classroom at the school, such as ghosts from the crematorium attending classes there, or workers being murdered in the unfinished classroom when the school was first built, and so on. In any case, it's a very ominous place. "
"But what does this have to do with your brother's disappearance?" Chen Ge still did not get it.
"Look at this picture."
Chen Ge accepted the picture from the woman. It was a very strange group photo.
An obviously drunk man was sitting in the middle, and around him were several rows of students.
Based on these, it looked like a normal graduation picture, but the problem was, all the students were standing with their backs facing away from the camera!
If one looked closer, one would notice that every student was standing in a weird posture, like they were all standing on their tiptoes.
"Where did you get this picture? Has the police seen it?" Chen Ge placed the picture on the table and wiped the sweat from his palms.
"The night before his disappearance, he was drinking and watching a football game with his friends. After that, to not miss class, he ran to school in a daze. At the time, the sky was still dark, and he wanted to go to the nurse's office to take a nap. When he passed a classroom, he saw many people standing there. He wondered which class was so hardworking, and he stopped at the door for a while. The people in the class seemed to be preparing for a group photo, and when they saw him, they invited him to sit in the middle. After the photo was taken, the students left, and in the end, someone gave him this picture. "The woman's voice was calm, but the story she told was startling.
"After my brother saw the picture, he realized everyone was facing away from the camera, and he woke up from the shock. It was then that he realized he was sitting at the door of the sealed classroom." The woman pushed the picture closer to Chen Ge. "He only told me and my sister-in-law about this. He thought it would be over after some time, but that night, something unfortunate happened. Xiao Yu went missing, and the two of them went out to look for him, but they both disappeared. Therefore, I believe his disappearance was not due to a vendetta but related to the sealed classroom. "
"What did the police say?" Chen Ge pushed the picture back.
"They took the picture to Mu Yang High School to investigate. Even though the students in the picture were wearing the school uniform, there were no such people at the school. Then they opened the sealed classroom and turned it inside out. They only found my brother's footprints, so they confirmed that my brother did enter the classroom that day. "The woman's words were getting more and more mysterious.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Ge asked the woman a few more questions. There were things that she did not know, and she only gave vague answers.
After confirming that there was nothing new, Chen Ge stood up to leave.
"Are you leaving? It's so hot outside. Why don't you have some water before you leave? "
"There's no need for that." Chen Ge rejected the woman's kindness and left the building with his phone.
After the conversation with the woman, Chen Ge had a better understanding of Mu Yang High School. "There are four side missions at Mu Yang High School, and two of them are related to the boy's family."
