Live From the Murder Scene - Chapter 13

Chapter 13

    Qiong Cang immediately sent a private message to the other party.

    Qiong Cang: Hello, was the express delivery in the unboxing video you posted a few days ago sent from No. 1 Middle School in City A?

    Qiong Cang: The person who sent you the package should be a student from No. 1 Middle School. The student committed suicide in March this year. 【website link】. The police are now investigating the reasons for her suicide. If possible, I hope you can send the notebook with the writing in the package to the Public Security Bureau while keeping the information confidential.

    Because it was a game setting, the other party responded very quickly.

    Meow in the Attic: How can I trust you?

    Meow in the Attic: There have been a lot of bored people popping up recently, all claiming that they are the original owners, but your reason is very special.

    Qiong Cang switched to the text message app interface.

    Qiong Cang: Take a photo of your police ID and give it to me.

    He Jueyun: ??

    He Jueyun: [Picture] Don’t do bad things just because it’s a game.

    Qiong Cang sent the photos taken by He Jueyun.

    Qiong Cang: Her Douyin* account has been canceled. You can search for relevant news online. The key word is No. 1 Middle School in City A, suicide.

    Qiong Cang: Her mailing address and contact number, are they...

    Qiong Cang sent the school's address and Zhou Nansong's mobile phone number.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: Ah... After searching, it turned out to be true. I wonder why I couldn't contact her all of a sudden. God this is such a shame.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: Your mobile phone number is indeed the one she left for me before, but the address on the courier note is another one. [Picture] This is the place.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: Also, this package is actually delivered on time. The other party deliberately delayed sending it to me until now. Does it have any profound meaning?

    Qiong Cang clicked on the map. After entering the address shown above, she found that the location result that popped up turned out to be the XX Street Police Station in City A.

    The line of black and white fonts was printed in Qiong Cang's eyes, and she quickly understood Zhou Nansong's intention in arranging all this. At the same time, she also felt the tenderness and vulnerability of this strange girl in making every arrangement.

    Her curled fingers stopped in mid-air, and she didn't know how to put them down for a moment. Finally, she sighed vaguely.

    Before Zhou Nansong died, her mental state was extremely unstable and he suffered from psychological torture. She had been struggling and hesitating whether to expose the scandal in the school. So even if she finally chose to commit suicide, she still couldn't feel at peace in her heart, so she chose to send an obviously problematic package to a stranger, hoping that after her death, someone would promote the investigation of this case on her behalf.

    She should know something about this video uploader, and know that this person would not deliberately ignore the violation because of petty gains. If she could not be contacted for a long time, she might mail the package back to the return address.

    After the police station received the package, if they had any doubts about the two suicide cases in No. 1 Middle School, they would patiently investigate and maybe find out the mastermind behind the scenes. If not, it would be her last effort. At least she could give herself some comfort.

    Zhou Nansong deliberately set the delivery date in early May, perhaps hoping to delay the fermentation of the matter. Even if the police really investigate the incident according to her plan, by the time everything comes out, the victims would have graduated and left, and they would not be harmed too much.

    She must have never imagined that after her death, this vicious incident not only did not end, but intensified. And what she left behind would become vital evidence that could solve the case and prove the lies.

    The only surprise here was that she set a time for the package to be delivered, causing it to be delayed for too long before it entered the public eye.

    If Qiong Cang had not discovered its existence today, a rough calculation would suggest that when it was sent back to City A, it might happen to be around the time Wang Dongyan committed suicide.

    That stage happened to be the stage when officials paid the most attention to the matter. This ensures that the package would not be ignored as an ordinary object.

    Sometimes, she had to admit that fate is always such a coincidence. It appeared so appropriately and yet so slowly.

    ... She was obviously a person who works so hard in life.

    Qiong Cang suppressed the regret in my heart.

    Qiong Cang: This address is the police station on our street. You can search it on the maps.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: I know, I searched. I still couldn't figure it out at the time and thought it was a prank.

    Qiong Cang: She probably wanted to call the police but was wary, so she sent the evidence before she died. Please send the relevant evidence to the police station in City A. I can buy it back at the original price and pay the postage for you. Thanks for your cooperation.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: No, no, no, serve the people. I will send it back to you later and find a good courier company. By the way, do you only want the one with the writing on it, or do you want all of them?

    Qiong Cang: It would be best if we could check it all out. If it is confirmed that it is not related to the case, the item will be returned to you. If it is convenient, I hope you can take a photo of the written notebook and send it to me now so that I can check it in time.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: Okay, wait, I’ll take the photo now.

    Meow Meow in the Attic: Actually, I took a quick glance at it and thought the things written in it were quite scary. I didn’t know what she was writing. I didn't look carefully because I was afraid of invading people's privacy.

    Qiong Cang: Thank you. We'll check.

    Qiong Cang put down the phone, raised her hands to press the acupuncture points on both sides of her forehead to relax, and waited for the other party's reply.

    ·

    There was almost a salute in the live broadcast room, and Qiong Cang’s live broadcast seemed to be always going through ups and downs. You never know when or how the evidence will appear, but it never disappointed them.

    If you open the barrage at this time, you will see that the screen was full of densely packed text, making it almost impossible to understand any of the pictures.

    "Ah - idol! It would be a pity that such a talent does not join the public security system!"

    "Fuck! She is really! The speed at which you can explore the plot is achieved by flying, right? Which brand of little wings are you using?"

    "If I had her reasoning ability and intelligence search ability, I wouldn't have to worry about succeeding!"

    "I just want to ask, is the investigator of this instance missing again? This is the first time I saw the victim complete the whole process of deducing the case alone [slipping away]."

    "It turns out that the top students can master the questions just by reading them twice. So the question is, what should the bad students do?"

    No matter how excited the audience in the live broadcast room was, Qiong Cang only calmly arranged the items on the table.

    Miao Miao moved quickly. She enthusiastically arranged the pictures one by one in order, packaged them into files, and sent them to Qiong Cang.

    Qiong Cang clicked on to enlarge it and read it page by page.

    Zhou Nansong was a very cautious person. She did not directly write down the world she saw in her notebook, but used scattered narrative methods to euphemistically describe a true story.

    People who didn't know anything would probably only think that it was a ridiculous horror story when they read these words. But those who knew the inside story could easily deduce the metaphorical content after seeing it.

    ——Dirty demons, covered with glossy skin, landed in human society. They were well-dressed and put on the most friendly and kind attitude, approaching those poor and weak humans.

    ——The poor humans are grateful for this, but they don’t know that they are just entertainment that is not worth mentioning in the other person’s eyes, and they are food that has been selected by the other person. Their nightmare has arrived unknowingly...

    Zhou Nansong wrote very carefully, and due to emotional fluctuations, some places were filled with all kinds of chaotic thinking. Qiong Cang sorted out the translation of her text and roughly sorted out the entire case.

    Starting a few years ago, No. 1 Middle School had vigorously expanded the enrollment of poor students, mainly girls.

    For poor students, this was a life-changing opportunity. They come to No. 1 Middle School, a prestigious key high school, with the best dreams in mind.

    The school leaders put on the most kind and friendly attitude, carefully helping and accepting them. They took the initiative to apply for scholarships, reduce tuition and miscellaneous fees, distribute canteen meal subsidies, etc. Their thoughtfulness appeared in every detail, making everyone lose their guard and express their gratitude for their kindness.

    Then, some villains started to take action.

    They create opportunities to be alone with students by talking to them, planning their futures, leading them to participate in various provincial and municipal competitions, or for other legitimate reasons. At the same time, they subtly show their social status to them and psychologically create the impression of being a superior person.

    At the beginning, they just harassed them simply, using closeness as a cover to make students think it was their own delusion. Slowly, they invaded their lives, and eventually, they might directly violate them under the pretext of drugging or drunkenness.

    Some people would also take photos in private. When they found that the other party had the intention to resist, they used their power to threaten them, and then induced them with benefits to break down their defenses.

    Poor students were easy to handle. Due to the limitations of their living environment, many poor students are timid and fearful of causing trouble, which magnifies the authority and ability of leaders. For them, how to survive the three years of high school safely was the most important thing, and the school leaders were elites with considerable social status, and they had no power to resist.

    Moreover, not all poor students would be selected by them. Under constant observation, the villains would deliberately select those students who seem to be unable to resist with torture.

    The victimized girl naively thought at first that it was just an accident and that only one person was involved. Later, the second, third, and even more appeared gradually. By the time they regretted it, their courage had been eroded by fear.

    So they chose to compromise.

    Tian Yun was a relatively unfortunate type of person. Not only was her family poor, her family relationship was also very bad. She had parents who favor boys over girls, and had a younger brother and a younger sister. Her parents didn't care about her life at all and even deducted her subsidy to support her younger brother.

    Because Tian Yun disobeyed the school's arrangements, she was oppressed by the school in many ways. Because she was under too much mental pressure and had nowhere to vent, her grades declined, her prospects were bleak, and she eventually fell to the brink of collapse.

    At this time, Tian Yun discovered that another poor student in the class could not bear the harassment from the school. She had a good relationship with the girl, so she persuaded the girl to resist together.

    She invited the man who had been trying to harass her to the hotel, drugged him to make him unconscious, and stole the information from his phone.

    Her original intention was just to find some evidence that could threaten the other party, but she didn't expect to see direct evidence of the other party's crimes for many years.

    The remaining photos were huge in scale and involved many people. Once exposed, they will definitely cause an uproar. The girl who was with her got scared and advised her to give up.

    That day, Tian Yun left with the girl and never came back. Before she left, she left the original photos with Zhou Nansong and asked her to save it for her.

    Later, news came out that Tian Yun committed suicide by jumping off a building. The surveillance video provided by the school had a clear time frame for falsification. Zhou Nansong knew something was wrong, but didn't know how to deal with it.

    Those involved included her good friends, her classmates, and many innocent and poor people. Some people have graduated and left to start a new life, and this turmoil will undoubtedly draw them back into the vortex.

    Those people begged her humbly and cried to her, and Zhou Nansong fell into despair.

    She didn't want to hurt those people anymore, and she couldn't ignore Tian Yun's death. Eventually, she suffered from depression and passed away in the cruelest way.

    Before committing suicide, she buried the photos left by Tian Yun in the open space behind the school dormitory.

    Privately, she still hopes that those prisoners can get the punishment they deserve.

    After flipping through the notes, Qiong Cang took a deep breath. She switched out of the app and told He Jueyun the result.

    Qiong Cang: [File] I found Zhou Nansong’s lost notebook.

    He Jueyun: ...I just came out of the express delivery company.

    He Jueyun: No, can you find this? 【Saw a ghost】

    Qiong Cang told He Jueyun about her rummaging process.

    He Jueyun fell into doubts about life.

    Qiong Cang said hypocritically and modestly: Just average, just good luck. Didn’t I promise that I would take you to win?

    He Jueyun: "..." But he thought she was really just talking.

    Qiong Cang: [Picture] The girl’s address. She lives in the next province, and it only takes six hours to drive there and back. It will take one to two days for her to pack and mail it and then send it to the police station.

    He Jueyun: Okay, I'll drive to pick up the notebook now. [Smile] Give me contact information, and I will show up in front of her in three hours. You ask her to bring her things with her first.

    Qiong Cang: OK. I'll dig up the photos.

    He Jueyun: Your suicide progress.

    Qiong Cang didn't expect that he was still worried about this matter at this time. She glanced at the character information and found that it still dropped by 1%, which gave her some face.

    Qiong Cang: 95%.

    He Jueyun: Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. You should be careful.

    He Jueyun decided to drive to get this notebook, while Qiong Cang put her schoolbag on her back, and prepared to go back to school to collect evidence.

    As soon as she walked out of the room, she heard the sound of unlocking the door.

    Qiong Cang slowed down and then saw a strange lady walking in the door.

    A simple introduction floated next to the person, and the system prompted that it was Wang Dongyan's mother.
