“Gongsun Mingyue is dead, and then what?” Bei Yutang pressed.
Li Mengmeng was completely bewildered by her question.
“Then what? What are you all trying to say? By the way, what’s with the water on my face, and why does my body hurt so much?”
Seeing her reaction, everyone’s expressions became very strange.
Li Mengmeng awkwardly looked at her disheveled appearance. When she looked up and saw everyone’s expressions, her brows furrowed.
“Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Li Mengmeng couldn’t help but examine her body, looking for anything strange.
“Just now, you suddenly ran out of the house like a madwoman, heading straight for the edge of the cliff. If Miss Bei hadn’t caught you in time, you would have fallen into the sea and died by now.” Dr. Zhang said.
“What?!” Li Mengmeng exclaimed in shock, staring at everyone in disbelief.
“I…I ran to the edge of a cliff?”
“Yes. If Miss Bei hadn’t pulled you back in time, you would have been buried in the sea by now.”
“No, impossible. I have acrophobia. How could I possibly run to the edge of a cliff?” Li Mengmeng refused to believe it.
“Could she be possessed?” Yan Jin muttered.
“Possessed?!” Li Mengmeng shuddered, feeling a chill run through her.
The others exchanged bewildered glances. What they were witnessing defied all logic. Besides possession, there was no other explanation for what had happened.
These events, one after another, seemed to clearly tell everyone that it was the work of ghosts.
Previously, Bei Yutang had also suspected ghosts at work due to these strange occurrences, but the more she suspected it, the more certain she became that it wasn’t ghosts, but human intervention.
She had a hunch that the person behind this wanted everyone to pin the blame on ghosts, thus clearing themselves of suspicion.
Bei Yutang spoke up, “How could there be ghosts in the world? Don’t scare yourselves.”
“But how do you explain what’s happening right now?” Yan Jin’s voice suddenly rose.
Feng Qing looked at Yan Jin and asked mockingly, “The person died right next to you, and you didn’t even notice? Or are you saying you killed her?”
“I killed her?! You need evidence to accuse me. If I wanted to kill someone, I wouldn’t kill her when she was right next to me. That would put me in a disadvantageous position. I’m not that stupid.”
“That’s hard to say. You might be trying to cover it up. Trying to get rid of suspicion this way isn’t uncommon.” Feng Qing looked at him scrutinizingly.
Yan Jin was furious. “What reason would I have to kill her?”
“What reason?”
Feng Qing said calmly, “Yesterday, I overheard you two arguing in the swimming pool. I saw her trying to attack someone. You held a grudge and took advantage of the night to kill her, trying to cover your tracks and clear your name as the murderer.”
“You…you…you’re making false accusations!” Yan Jin was enraged.
“Then let me ask you, did you have an argument with her yesterday?” Feng Qing pressed.
“I…I…”
“Can’t answer, can you?” Feng Qing looked at him with a half-smile.
Feng Qing’s lips curled into a mocking smile: “Some people, though teachers, are beasts in human form.”
“Don’t go too far.”
“Isn’t it true that some people who aren’t supposed to be teachers are already hooking up with women on their very first day here and having passionate encounters? Aren’t there some people who take advantage of others and then refuse to acknowledge it?”
