Chapter 1392 Strange things on campus (but I''m already three screens)
At the end of school the next day, Duanmu Huai arrived at the gate of the school as agreed.
At this moment, most of the students have left the school, and the entire school gate is basically empty. Duanmu Huai can see Shajiuye waiting there at a glance. So he stopped the car, walked straight to the school gate, and greeted Shajiuye.
"Yo, I''m here."
“Ah, brother.”
Seeing Duanmuhuai''s arrival, Sha Jiuye also showed a smile on his face and waved to him.
"Please come with me, I''ll take you to see the principal."
"oh."
Duanmuhuai nodded, then followed Sha Jiuye into the campus.
Qianyuan Academy where Shajiuye studied is a girls'' school that is consistent with junior and senior high school. Basically, the students here are either rich or noble, and at least they are children of middle-class families. Students are divided into day school and boarding school. Shajiuye is naturally a day school student, while boarding school students live in a dormitory called "Qianyuanliao" not far from the teaching building. The most famous school in this school, besides its beautiful school uniform and noble lady, belongs to the bell tower standing in the center of the school.
In fact, not only the school, but also other areas around the school, they listen to the bells to determine the time every day. This bell tower is also a famous product of Qianyuan Academy.
"Do you know what the principal asked me for?"
Following Shajiuye into the school corridor, Duanmuhuai asked while looking around. When facing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Sha Jiuye shook his head.
"I don''t know very well, although I also asked a little about it and only said that it seemed to have something to do with the boarding student. Everyone is not very clear about the specific situation. The information seems to be blocked by the teacher... Maybe something happened."
This is also natural. Why did you ask yourself, a detective to do nothing?
It is definitely not a trivial matter like catching kittens and dogs or running away students.
Soon, the two arrived at the principal''s office on the third floor, and Duanmuhuai also met Qianyuan Ancestral''s principal Qianyuan Abbey here.
Qianyuanya looks about 60 or 70 years old, with gray hair, wearing a simple and heavy suit and glasses, and looks like an educator. Seeing Duanmuhuai appear, the principal also smiled and greeted him.
"Welcome to you, Mr. Duanmu."
"Hello, Principal."
Duanmu Huai nodded to the principal, saying hello. Then he sat on the sofa without any hesitation, while Sha Jiuye glanced at his brother helplessly, then bowed to the principal obediently, and then sat next to Duanmu Huai.
"I don''t like to waste time, so... I want to ask, Principal, do you have anything to do with me? Could it be that you are looking for something like kittens and dogs."
"This... maybe it''s about the same."
Facing Duanmu Huai''s unpolite inquiry, the principal smiled bitterly.
“I hope you help find… something.”
"Something?"
Duanmu Huai looked at the principal in confusion, looking surprised. This is too general. You said, what should I find?
The principal looked at Duanmu Huai and explained it slowly.
"About three days ago, two students living in Qianyuanliao suddenly disappeared. At first we thought they were just going out for a night tour, but we didn''t see any trace. Then we called the two students'' homes, but found that they did not go home. Considering the urgent situation, we reported the disappearance to the police..."
"Then what?"
“At least so far, we don’t have clues about those two students, and we don’t know where they went.”
The principal shook his head.
"After this, in order to avoid similar situations from happening again, we strengthened the control of Qianyuanliao and adjusted night shift patrols to prevent students from going out privately again. Then, this tragedy happened..."
As he spoke, the principal pressed the remote control, and then Duanmuhuai saw the TV next to him turn on. The surveillance video of the night should be played on it, and the time was the night before yesterday.
On the screen, you can see two security guards patrolling back and forth with flashlights. Then, one of them seemed to have discovered something and kept looking left and right. Then he ran towards the woods next to him. Another security guard followed in surprise. Then the figures of the two disappeared into the surveillance video.
This is also normal. Whoever is idle and has nothing to do to install surveillance in the woods.
Then the screen turned and turned to the other side. Then a security guard grabbed the flashlight and ran out of the woods. Although the surveillance did not record the sound, looking at his distorted and deformed fearful expression, you can tell that he must have seen something very terrifying in the woods. The security guard ran desperately outside the woods, but before he could run out of the woods, he seemed to be caught by something and dragged it back directly, and the flashlight in his hand also fell to the ground.
After this, the surveillance video returned to normal.
"The next day, we sent someone to conduct a thorough and comprehensive search of the entire woods and then discovered this."
As he spoke, the old principal took out a few photos and placed them on the table. Duanmuhuai reached out to take them, took a look, and then raised his eyebrows. In the photo, two skinny and bone-like mummies were staring at them. If they weren''t wearing security guards'' clothes, they would probably only think that they were mummies unearthed from a pyramid.
"The police found wounds similar to those caused by beasts on their bodies, and believed that they should have been attacked by some animal, but..."
Without the principal continuing, Duanmu Huai knew that this was impossible. Although Qianyuan Academy is not in the city center, it is also in a densely populated area, and there are no deep mountains and forests nearby. Even if a deer runs out, it has to pass through the main road to reach the school gate. How could it appear in the woods of the school?
"We and the police conducted a carpet-style survey of the entire school during the holiday, but nothing was found. And I was also worried about the lives of the students of Qianyuanliao. Although the police are also investigating, I cannot just watch and do nothing. I heard that you are very good at dealing with such difficult problems... so I specially entrusted you to help solve all this."
Of course, the most important reason why the principal chose Duanmu Huai, besides his fame, is that he is the brother of Shajiuye, and for the sake of his sister, Duanmu Huai cannot do nothing - unless Shajiuye transfers to school now.
But of course this is impossible.
"So what are you going to let me do?"
Duanmu Huai naturally couldn''t see something wrong with his sister''s school, so he leaned back on the sofa, hugged his arms with both hands, and stared at the principal.
“I hope you can conduct a survey in school for a while.”
The principal obviously has already prepared.
"It just so happens that the physical education teacher in our school is on vacation due to illness. I will tell you that you are the teacher who is temporarily in charge of substitute classes. During this period, you can live in the duty room - after all, it is common for physical education teachers to be on duty in the school. And next, it depends on you, Mr. Duanmu. Of course, in order to avoid boring rumors and panic among students, please do not tell these things. After all, we claim that the two security guards were expelled due to poor supervision to avoid questioning and panic from the media and the parents of students... To be honest, I don''t know what''s wrong with this school, so I hope you can help, Mr. Duanmu."
I have to say that the principal seems to think very thoughtfully, and Duanmu Huai does not object to this arrangement. But the physical education teacher... He remembered that he was a physical education teacher in Juwang before, but when he came here, he was still a physical education teacher... Well, there was nothing particularly strange about it.
“………………”
Hearing the principal''s explanation, Duanmu Huai thought for a while, then looked at Shajiuye. The latter stared at Duanmu Huai without saying a word. Looking at Sha Jiuye in front of him, Duanmu Huai smiled and then reached out to touch her head. Then he turned his head and looked at the principal.
"I''ll take your commission."
Then, Duanmu Huai spoke.
Duanmuhuai did not object to the principal''s arrangement, and after receiving Duanmuhuai''s answer, the principal also breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he also explained Duanmuhuai. To keep it confidential, only the principal and his secretary knew about Duanmuhuai''s investigation, and everyone else knew that Duanmuhuai was here to replace him. Duanmuhuai himself also has a teacher qualification certificate, so this problem is actually not a problem.
On the contrary, another question made the principal a little difficult to talk about. It was when Duanmu Huai mentioned that he wanted to go to Qianyuanliao to investigate, he showed a subtle expression.
"Well...well, the situation is quite complicated, and even I can''t interfere at will."
“More complicated?”
Duanmu Huai looked at the principal with a puzzled look. How complicated can a mere student dormitory be?
"Uh...... In short, I can''t explain it clearly in one or two sentences, but you will know it then. I can only say that I will try my best to support you."
“………???”
Duanmu Huai looked at the principal in confusion, then looked at Sha Jiuye, who shook his head inexplicably. As a day student, she certainly doesn''t know much about the situation in the dormitory building.
However, the more the principal said this, the more curious Duanmu Huai felt.
What are the problems with a dormitory building?
After this, Duanmu Huai also said goodbye to Sha Jiuye and left and walked out of the principal''s office.
"Qianyuanliao?"
Duanmuhuai stood in the corridor, looking at Sha Jiuye in confusion.
"Do you know what''s going on there?"
"I don''t know much about this, brother."
Shajiuye shook her head, but she quickly made a suggestion.
"But I remember that Meijia is a residential student, maybe we can ask her about the situation."
