Ruan Qing lowered his head in contemplation, perhaps considering starting from this aspect.
As long as he managed to identify the people present when the three deaths occurred in contact with Ning Mufeng, he could narrow down the range of suspects and investigate each one individually.
Ruan Qing remembered that these incidents happened in places where students often gathered, whether it’s the library, the cafeteria entrance, or the teaching building just after class. Although these locations were convenient for investigating surveillance, there were always a lot of students present.
Ruan Qing lowered his gaze slightly. There was still a very perfect exclusion method.
That was to find the scene of students who had contact with Ning Mufeng but did not die at that time. Because there was no death, it meant that the culprit was likely not present, and this could be used to exclude people as suspects.
And the most important thing was that he now knew that these incidents were not coincidences, and he had become the target of the culprit. Naturally, he had a reason to openly investigate the matter.
The president and vice president of the student council at Hengming University should have some privileges...
Lin Anyan looked at the trembling young man sitting on the ground, feeling inexplicably irritated. He coldly spoke, “Crying again. What else can you do besides crying?”
“Brother Lin.” Chi Yifan disagreed with Lin Anyan’s tone and squatted down in front of Ruan Qing, speaking gently to comfort the frightened person. “Student Wang, don’t worry too much. We will help you.”
“And we won’t let the culprit continue to evade justice.”
“Trust us, okay?”
Ruan Qing hesitated and raised his head, nodding slightly.
After nodding, Ruan Qing bit his lip, tears swirling in his eyes. He spoke softly, with fear and pleading in his voice, “Can I investigate with you guys? I want to investigate with you.”
Chi Yifan nodded gently. “Sure, we’ll investigate together.”
“Don’t worry; we will definitely protect you.”
Ruan Qing lowered his head and said softly, “Thank you.”
The group first started their investigation from the rooftop, but besides the phone that shouldn’t be in the miscellaneous pile, there were no other clues at the scene. This was a university, and there was a fence on the rooftop.
Ruan Qing felt around on the ground where the male student had jumped, but there were no traces, and there was no sign of any design or mechanism.
Was it possible that the student was really just pushed down by the culprit?
Would the culprit, who was so cautious, really take such a risk?
Ruan Qing found it difficult to judge.
Since no clues were found on the rooftop, the group descended and prepared to check the situation at the venue for the evening party.
Due to his foot injury, Ruan Qing was moving quite slowly and naturally couldn’t keep up with the others.
Lin Anyan frowned, a bit impatient, and said, “Can’t do anything right, always causing trouble.”
After speaking, he directly picked up Ruan Qing horizontally and strode downstairs.
Ruan Qing didn’t expect Lin Anyan to act suddenly. He instinctively shrunk a bit, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
He probably realized that he was a burden and didn’t insist on being put down.
Mainly, Ruan Qing also wanted to save time.
It was already afternoon, and there wasn’t much time left for investigation.
Moreover, it was still unclear whether Chu Yi had settled things with ‘Huayue’ or not, and Ruan Qing didn’t know if he needed to work at ‘Huayue’ tonight.
Although Ruan Qing obediently stayed in Lin Anyan’s arms, Lin Anyan still expressed dissatisfaction with a cold click of his tongue and spoke coldly, “Is your hand broken?”
“Do you mind hugging my neck a bit tighter?”
Lin Anyan looked disgusted. “How heavy are you? Can’t you count?”
Ruan Qing stiffened at the words, seemingly embarrassed, but he slowly reached out and hugged Lin Anyan’s neck.
Lin Anyan didn’t say anything more at this point. The group headed towards the venue for the evening party.
Because there hadn’t been many activities recently, there was no one at the venue.
As the president of the student council, Lin Anyan naturally had the keys to the venue.
Ruan Qing looked at the position of the chandelier in the venue. Now it had been replaced by a new one, and even other chandeliers that had not caused any problems were replaced.
The top of the venue was too high, and without lights, it would be quite dim. However, if the lights were turned on, it would be very glaring and equally unclear.
The lighting control room was on the second floor, the closest to the top of the stage in the venue. The group went there directly.
The others had better skills, and they could even climb along the top structure of the venue for inspection. However, Ruan Qing couldn’t do that.
He could only stand in the control room, take out the telescope, and carefully observe the top of the venue.
Unfortunately, they came too late. Not only were the hanging lights replaced, but the staff changed even the structures.
The previous traces were nowhere to be found.
Ruan Qing sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to put down the telescope, his hand suddenly stopped.
He immediately moved the telescope towards the top on the side of the audience seats, then magnified the image again.
There was the position where lights and cameras were set up.
And there seemed to be traces of something being wiped there.
The top of the venue was not easy to clean, and dust naturally accumulated over time.
But in that position, a patch of dust... had been wiped off.
Someone had tampered with that place.
Ruan Qing immediately informed the other three of this discovery, and they were somewhat surprised.
After all, that place was in a relatively distant location, closer to the back compared to the stage. Most people wouldn’t think there could be a problem there.
It’s likely that even the police investigating overlooked that place.
Unexpectedly, the person before them noticed it.
The three no longer wasted time and immediately went to inspect the situation at that location.
However, apart from the wiped-off layer of dust, there was no other discovery.
Maybe they found out too late, and the culprit had already cleaned up. Perhaps the culprit didn’t leave any other traces.
Although they hadn’t seen the culprit yet, the three already realized the terrifying nature of the perpetrator.
Committing murder invisibly, and without leaving any traces.
It seemed like a perfect crime had been committed.
Seeing the traces in that place, Ruan Qing knew that his earlier speculation was correct.
The culprit probably used some mechanism to make the hanging lights fall.
A hint of doubt arose in his mind. Would someone like that personally push the victim down the stairs?"
And would the person throw the victim’s phone randomly?
Ruan Qing always felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.
It was evident that the venue couldn’t yield any more useful clues.
Several people prepared to check the surveillance room for information.
Lin Anyan once again lifted Ruan Qing horizontally and headed towards the surveillance room.
However, as they just left the venue this time, Ruan Qing saw two familiar figures not far away, each coming from a different direction.
The two were...
Chu Yi and the manager.
Ruan Qing froze directly. Given their directions, unless they turned back, he would definitely run into one of them.
Or worse... run into both.
