Chapter 1072: Someone Was Hiding a Secret

The recording of the woman’s voice started speaking again.

“It seems that until now, you still don’t know what crime you have committed. It doesn’t matter, I’ll give you one last chance. This is the only way out of here. As long as you find the answer, I’ll forgive you.”

Helian Weiwei carefully listened to the recording.

The word ‘forgive’ was very crucial.

This further proved that her train of thought was correct.

She strode towards the prop that popped out from the ceiling and stretched her hand out to straighten it.

It was a simple staircase made of springs, but it was sturdy enough. It was obvious that they had to climb up before they could proceed to the next level.

“Let’s go up,” said Helian Weiwei.

But the timid female graduate student shook her head desperately and said, “I don’t want to go any further, it’s too scary. You don’t understand! The further we go, the scarier it becomes. I really don’t want to relive the fear I went through back then again. Can I wait for you guys here?”

Helian Weiwei turned around and glanced at her. “Are you sure you want to wait here? Didn’t you notice?”

“Notice what?” The female graduate student didn’t understand why Helian Weiwei asked her this.

Helian Weiwei used her flashlight to illuminate the door they had entered. “This is the design of the three locks. When this staircase pops out, the door we came through will automatically lock itself. This lock is locked from inside the room. So unless we unlock all the mechanisms, we have no other out. Aren’t you afraid to wait here?”

Of course, the female graduate student was afraid. Every step she took now made her feel like something was going to pop out of the room.

And of course, there was the problem with Dong Sichun.

She felt that it was that woman who had returned and wanted to kill all of them!

“Alright, climb up in the order we entered.” Helian Weiwei glanced at the female graduate student again. “I will take Zhang Heng’s place at the back. Let’s go.”

No matter how afraid the female graduate student was, she still had to keep moving forward. She couldn’t go back the same way they came in, and nobody knew what was in the next room. If she stayed here alone, what would happen? Just thinking about it was scary.

After they went up, there was a dark tunnel. That tunnel was very similar to the scene they saw in the movie Resident Evil.

When danger was coming from behind them…

…those who survived had to escape through the tunnel as soon as possible.

No one knew what they would encounter in the tunnel.

It was said that the unknown was the most terrifying.

However, Baili Jiajue led the way and didn’t seem to have this worry at all.

They watched helplessly as Baili Jiajue slid down into the darkness. His back was straight and handsome, while his black gloves didn’t even get any of the dust that was on the sides of the tunnel.

The female graduate student turned around and asked Helian Weiwei, “He should be younger than us, right? Isn’t he afraid?”

“He’s more courageous,” Helian Weiwei calmly lied. After all, if she told them the truth about his age, they would be frightened to death.

After Baili Jiajue slid down the tunnel, the five people joined together and formed a Pure Yang Formation again.

Helian Weiwei was the last one to go up. Nothing happened along the way.

After sliding down the tunnel, the place brightened up and they came to another room.

This was obviously the roof of a school.

There was no other information revealed.

But why would a room in an old house suddenly become the rooftop of a school?

This made Helian Weiwei very puzzled.

Could it be…

“Did Dong Sichun commit suicide by jumping off your school’s rooftop?” Helian Weiwei asked a question.

The other four were somewhat caught off guard and stood there in shock.

The other three had a change in expression only after Chen Feiyang responded with a ‘yes’ in a deep voice.

Helian Weiwei used her flashlight to illuminate the surrounding scenery. “She jumped off the building at night, right?”

“How do you know?” Even Chen Feiyang’s tough face revealed surprise, not to mention the reactions of the others.

Helian Weiwei raised her chin. “There are stars and moon pasted on the wallpaper, so that indicates the time it happened.”

“But what does this have to do with Dong Sichun’s death?” The female graduate student was already confused. She didn’t understand how Helian Weiwei could deduce that that woman jumped at night from the school rooftop.

Helian Weiwei didn’t answer this question.

Xiao Jingtian looked at her. “Have you figured something out?”

“I have figured some things out, but I have to wait until the end to reach a conclusion.” Helian Weiwei’s finger knocked on the wall. “Come on, let’s enter the next stage. There’s a lock here, it’s a four-digit number. Do you still remember the day Dong Sichun jumped off a building?”

Chen Feiyang said, “April 17th, 2015.”

“To be precise, it was the early morning of April 17th, 2015.” The boy holding the walkie-talkie pushed up his glasses. “After midnight that night, someone heard the sound of something falling from the roof. Later, the police also called us in for questioning. They said that Sichun died between 1:00 and 1:30 in the morning and asked us if we knew anything.”

“That was indeed the case.” Chen Feiyang furrowed his thick eyebrows. “At that time, the police asked us a lot of things, including whether we knew if Sichun had suicidal thoughts. At that time, I thought it was very strange for them to ask such questions. Later, it was confirmed that she had committed suicide, but there was no reason for it. The school also covered up this matter for the sake of their reputation, and the case closed very quickly.”

Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. “So you feel that the school’s actions were very inhumane, right?”

“Wasn’t it?” Chen Feiyang sneered.

Helian Weiwei curled her thin lips. “it’s indeed inhumane. What about the other students? If it’s like what the police said, that someone knew in advance that Dong Sichun had suicidal thoughts, but they didn’t stop her, then don’t you think such people are even more inhumane?”

“She never thought about jumping off a building,” Chen Feiyang said these words with absolute certainty.

Helian Weiwei’s eyes flashed and her words were very sharp, “How can you be so sure that she didn’t have suicidal thoughts?”

“I…” Chen Feiyang suddenly paused, and then continued, “I just know. Based on my understanding of her, I don’t believe that she would choose to just simply decide to end her life by committing suicide.”

“So you’re saying that you’re relying on your intuition to conclude that Dong Sichun didn’t commit suicide, right?” Helian Weiwei laughed lightly and put away the torchlight. Her gaze was serious as she said, “You’re lying.”

Chen Feiyang’s expression immediately changed.

Helian Weiwei’s voice was still very slow and unhurried, “There’s a reason for anyone to have a certain intuition about things, but you had an obvious pause just now. This proves that you’re hiding something.”
