Fan Yu's aunt saw the scene inside the classroom as well. The students with their heads lowered around the table reminded her of the students in the group photo her brother had brought home.
She collapsed to the ground, and the fear froze on her face. Her limbs refused to listen to her, and she could not get up for a long time.
"Don't speak!"
Chen Ge rushed to Fan Yu's aunt's side. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the education block!
The rumors were true. No matter what the cause of death was, they had returned to this school.
"You saw it too? Am I right? "
Seeing it from a picture and experiencing it in person were two completely different experiences. Fan Yu's aunt's eyes bulged out. She seemed to be out of breath, and her voice stuttered.
"Let's get out of here first." Chen Ge dragged Fan Yu's aunt to the education block's entrance. Before he left, he turned back to look at the classroom. The doors and windows were closed, and it was dark inside.
"I've been here for so long, and I haven't been attacked by them. The thing lingering around here doesn't appear to be an evil spirit." Chen Ge had reason to believe that. The girl who had been driven insane by Fan Yu's father had committed suicide in the last classroom, and it was the spirit inside the classroom who had helped her. The spirit that had warned Fan Yu's father earlier appeared to be the spirit inside the classroom. They were trying to protect the students at the school, even though the method was not the right one.
Chen Ge supported Fan Yu's aunt to the main entrance of Mu Yang High School. They hid behind the tattered school gate to hide from the rain.
It was already past midnight, and he did not dare stay in the three buildings. Furthermore, with the presence of Fan Yu's aunt, he had to be careful.
The rain slowly lightened. At 1 am, light appeared outside Mu Yang High School. When Chen Ge saw this, he immediately turned on his flashlight and yelled for help.
The bushes were pushed aside, and a group of people in raincoats stepped out to clear a path.
"Here! The suspect has been apprehended! "
Chen Ge's voice was loud, but when he saw the face of the person leading the group, he could not help but feel a pang of guilt.
"Why is it always you?" Inspector Lee led the way. When he saw Chen Ge at the school gate, his face was twitching. "Three emergency calls in one week, all for the same person. This is the first time this has happened in the thirty-five years since Western Jiujiang Police Station was founded. Do you know that? Even the people at the police station found your voice familiar. "
Chen Ge was rendered speechless by Inspector Lee's words. He also felt a little embarrassed. He quickly helped Fan Yu's aunt up and walked toward Inspector Lee.
Inspector Lee called the people behind him to break down the school gate. "She's a victim?"
"No, this woman is one of the murderers." Chen Ge handed Fan Yu's aunt over to the police officer.
"One of the killers?" Inspector Lee flicked the flashlight thrice to signal for everyone to be on alert. "Are there other killers hiding inside the school?"
"The other murderer is already dead." Chen Ge used the simplest words he could to explain what he knew. "This woman's brother had a habit of peeping. After her sister-in-law found out about this, she asked for a divorce, but her brother killed her sister-in-law. She happened to see the scene of her brother committing murder, and in order to not be killed, she killed her brother in the end. "
"Excessive self-defense, resulting in death?" Inspector Lee grasped the crux of the problem.
"If that's the case, the woman should have called the police immediately, but after she committed the murder, she personally cleaned up the crime scene. This happened three years ago, so there's no evidence. Everything I know was told to me by her." Chen Ge pointed at Fan Yu's aunt. "I can't rule out the possibility that she's lying."
"Where is the place where the body was hidden?" Inspector Lee did not even bother asking why Chen Ge was there. The officers beside him looked like they were used to this, and they did not suspect Chen Ge at all.
"You'll have to ask her about that." Chen Ge also wanted to know the location of the deep well. This was the last of the four side missions.
When it came to interrogating criminals, Inspector Lee was more experienced than Chen Ge. He accepted a clean towel from the people beside him and handed it to Fan Yu's aunt. "Intentional murder carries a death sentence, but if it's self-defense, or if the victim has a good attitude towards the crime, they might be able to get a lighter sentence."
Fan Yu's aunt gripped the towel and did not say anything. She was not that afraid of death.
"Think about your family. At your age, you should have your own children. If you refuse to cooperate, you might not be able to see them again." Inspector Lee was observant, and he soon found the right point. Once he said that, Fan Yu's aunt started to waver.
After another ten minutes of persuasion, Fan Yu's aunt finally said, "The body was hidden on a hill behind the school. I can only remember the general location."
She led the officers and Chen Ge to a small hill near the school's back gate. "The body was hidden inside a well. At the time, there was a landslide, and the well was buried."
There were no roads around Mu Yang High School, so large vehicles could not enter. To find the well, they would have to rely on manpower.
Chen Ge had considered that as well, so he had called the police after finding out the truth.
"Inspector Lee, if we don't verify her as soon as possible, the case might be delayed until tomorrow morning." He squeezed to Inspector Lee's side, but his mind was on the last side mission.
"Lock down the scene first. We'll wait for the follow-up team to bring the tools before we start the excavation." Without Chen Ge's reminder, Inspector Lee had already made the call.
At 2: 15 am, the follow-up team arrived with the tools. Inspector Lee assigned everyone their area of responsibility and started the excavation.
Chen Ge grabbed a shovel and went to help. He dug with all his might. Many officers were touched to see how hard an outsider like him was working.
At 3 am, the well at the back of Mu Yang High School was finally found.
At 4: 30 am, the well was dug open, and the two bodies inside were retrieved by the police.
At the same time, Chen Ge's black phone vibrated. He received a mission completion message.
Putting down the shovel, Chen Ge found a secluded spot and clicked on the message.
