"So you're here. Aren't you going to rest at this hour?" Takaqiaofeng's voice came from the side.
Ling Ling glanced at him and noticed that he looked extremely haggard. Perhaps he had yet to recover from the injuries he received from touching the magic formation. His wounds were still hurting.
"How did you end up at the magic formation? Don't you have any recollection of it?" asked Ling Ling.
Takaqiaofeng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I fell asleep very early that day. I was woken up by a great pain when I woke up."
"Sleepwalking, just like Mochizuki Shino. He didn't even realize what he had done?" Ling Ling connected the two incidents together.
Takaqiaofeng's expression shifted when he heard Ling Ling's words.
"Yeah, something similar happened to Shino and me, and both of us might lose the chance to join the national team. Is someone really behind this?" Takaqiaofeng realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
"So if both you and Shino lost the chance to join the national team, who's most likely to join the national team?" asked Ling Ling.
"I don't think it's wise to make wild guesses without any evidence, let alone something like this," said Takaqiaofeng.
"I'm just asking. It's not like I'm going to convict him," said Ling Ling.
Takaqiaofeng hesitated for a moment before he said, "Ishii and Ike have a better chance, but the Mochizuki Clan has already settled the matter with Shino, so it's very likely that Shino will be reinstated."
Lingling nodded and entered the names of the two people in the notebook.
Takaqiaofeng was struggling to understand the strange data in Ling Ling's notebook, but since she was a professional Hunter, she must have her own way of gathering information. It was inappropriate for Takaqiaofeng to ask further.
"This is bad, this is bad!" Yong Shan rushed into the dining hall and ran straight toward Takaqiaofeng.
The dining hall was very close to the Training Hall. The students would often visit the dining hall during their break.
"What's wrong?" asked Ling Ling.
"My uncle, he committed seppuku as an apology!" said Yong Shan.
Lingling furrowed her brows.
Uncle Yongshan's mental state was very bad, but Ling Ling could see from his tortured eyes that he actually had an extremely high desire to live in this world. He just wanted to get rid of that psychological burden!
Committing seppuku to apologize didn't seem like something that person would do.
"Your uncle has already committed seppuku. What are you doing here?" Gao Qiaofeng asked.
"Officer Ozawa asked me to inform Miss Ling Ling," Yong Shan said.
"Let's go take a look," Ling Ling said.
"Ah, it's a little scary. Are you sure you want to go to the scene?"
…
When he arrived at the scene, blood was still flowing slowly on the ground.
Yong Shan and Kaede Takaqiao both turned their faces away and did not dare to look directly. Ling Ling, like an old criminal police officer who often went in and out of crime scenes, skillfully put on gloves and carefully examined the "warm" body.
"It's suicide," Ling Ling said with certainty.
A military officer from the West Guard Pavilion was startled. Little girl, shouldn't I be the one saying that? Don't play Conan for no reason!
After leaving the scene, Ling Ling was in deep thought when Gao Qiaofeng's phone suddenly fell to the ground and made a loud noise.
"What are you doing? That's my uncle, not yours. Why are you panicking!" Yong Shan scolded.
Gao Qiaofeng picked up the phone with a look of disbelief. Then, he slowly handed it over to Ling Ling and Yong Shan.
It was a short video that had just been sent over.
Ling Ling clicked on it and realized that it was a video of a girl slowly soaking her head in a bathtub. Her hair was scattered on the surface of the water …
"Who is it? Why did they film such a scary thing?" Yong Shan asked.
"It's my junior sister," Gao Qiaofeng said with a pale face.
The message had just been sent. The three immediately ran toward the junior sister's apartment.
The door was locked. Yong Shan could not care less and directly broke the door open.
As soon as they entered, they saw the water in the bathroom overflowing into the living room. Gao Qiaofeng panicked and quickly rushed into the bathroom.
Ling Ling was a little slower, but when she entered the bathroom, Gao Qiaofeng and Yong Shan were stunned at the door.
"She might still be alive!" Ling Ling quickly pushed the two away and carried the girl out of the bathtub.
Unfortunately, Gao Qiaofeng's junior sister's eyes were bloodshot. She was no longer breathing.
There was a phone on a stand beside the bathtub. It recorded the short process of her ending her own life. It was sent after a delay. It clearly showed the junior sister's determination.
"What happened? Why did you make such a choice!?" Yong Shan was shocked. He questioned Gao Qiaofeng.
"I … I rejected her yesterday. I told her that my mind was only focused on the World College Tournament," Gao Qiaofeng seemed to have lost his soul.
It was a perfectly normal rejection. Gao Qiaofeng had met many girls who were interested in him when he was growing up. However, even if he rejected them, they would still be able to get along with each other. It was unlikely that they would do something like this.
However, Gao Qiaofeng was on the verge of losing his mind when he saw his junior sister soaking in the water and recording a 'farewell' video for herself.
Why did she end her life just like that?
She was still alive. Why would she end her life just because of something like that? Was he really that decisive? Did he give his junior sister such a heavy blow that she did not have the courage to continue living?
"Gao Qiaofeng, you should leave this place first. Ling Ling, I'll have to delete the video on her phone. Everyone is on edge right now. If news spread that our junior sister ended her life because of Gao Qiaofeng's rejection, it's going to affect his chances of joining the national team," Yong Shan suddenly calmed down. It was obvious that he was concerned about Gao Qiaofeng's future.
Gao Qiaofeng obviously did not think about it. He was still immersed in his junior sister's actions.
"You can't delete it. It's going to make him even more suspicious. Do you think the police are three years old? If someone really wants to end their life, it doesn't matter what you did or what you did in the past. Besides, you didn't even know if she was doing it because of the rejection, "Ling Ling immediately stopped Yong Shan from doing anything reckless.
Yong Shan did not dare to do anything unnecessary when he heard Ling Ling's firm tone.
"Contact Officer Ozawa."
"Contact her teacher and her family."
"Don't touch anything else here. Her death might not be as simple as you think," Ling Ling said.
