Chapter 103 The Elephant in the Room

In midsummer, the night sky in the suburbs is full of stars. Children who have lived in the city for a long time rarely see this scene. They gather together in small groups and look up for a long time, until sleepiness hits everyone.They got into the tent one after another, and everyone started their homework before going to bed with a thin blanket and playing with their mobile phones, and some of them fell asleep.Just as Jiang Lin closed his eyes and was going to meet Duke Zhou, someone called his name outside.

"Jiang Lin, are you asleep?"

Standing up and poking his head out, Jiang Lin saw clearly that it was You Ran. "What's up?"

"It's something, you come out."

Just like that, Jiang Lin followed You Ran out.Jiang Lin, who originally thought that the other party would say something important, was full of curiosity, but couldn't help laughing after You Ran expressed his meaning.

"You came to me just to thank me for lending you clothes? No, I just brought an extra one, it's just a matter of little effort."

"Thank you anyway. By the way, I'll take this dress home and wash it before returning it to you."

Jiang Lin was thinking of refusing, but when he changed his mind, he felt that refusing others' kindness was too impolite, so he found a compromise: "Come as long as it's convenient for you, just don't bother me, I don't care, I'm not in a hurry to wear it anyway. "

"It's just a piece of laundry, no trouble. Then it's settled. I'll take the clothes home and return them to you after washing them."

"it is good."

The two chatted for a while under the dreamy starry sky. Jiang Lin felt that he could no longer resist the waves of drowsiness, so he greeted him and returned to the tent. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.After getting dressed and washing in a hurry, Jiang Lin was about to dig out a few slices of bread for breakfast from his schoolbag when he heard terrified shouts from the lake.

"Look, what is that?"

"Yes...it is a person! There is a person floating on the lake!"

"Ah—the dead—"

The phrase "dead person" was like tons of explosives detonated in an instant. The students cried and shouted all of a sudden, and some of them were so timid that they were so weak that they couldn't stand up.A few calm students went to the teacher and quickly counted the number of people. After repeated checks, everyone realized that there was one person missing in the class.

Yuran is gone.

Jiang Lin didn't remember very clearly what happened afterwards.The teacher called the police, and the police called a salvage team. After everyone identified it, the deceased was undoubtedly Yu Ran, who was still wearing the clothes that Jiang Lin had lent him.The police cordoned off the scene for investigation. Youran's parents rushed over after hearing the news, weeping uncontrollably, and the students clung to each other and shivered. In short, it was chaotic.

"That's all I know. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Probably because he talked too much, Jiang Lin took a few sips of cold drinks and breathed a sigh of relief.

After listening to his narration, Song Qingwan twisted her two delicate eyebrows together, as if swallowing a mouthful of bitter melon juice.This is too common, there is no breakthrough at all!Complaining in her heart, the girl wrote her disappointment on her face.

"You Ran found you that night at the camp, how long have you been chatting?" After sorting out every word Jiang Lin said in his mind, Xiao Bai began to ask questions.

"How long... About ten minutes, I didn't pay attention to the time."

"When you went back to the tent, did You Ran go back too?"

"I really don't know about this. I didn't live in the same tent with him, and the location was different. I was quite sleepy at the time, and I just walked by myself, and didn't pay attention to whether he also went back." For not remembering this detail , Jiang Lin apologized.

After contemplating for a while, Xiaobai asked again: "Do you usually post?"

"Post it?" Jiang Lin seemed to have heard something strange, "No, I don't read those things, but I know that many students will read them and leave posts and so on."

Not understanding why Xiaobai would ask this question, Song Qingwan's eyes flicked back and forth between him and Jiang Lin, and when Jiang Lin finished answering, she rushed to speak: "How is You Ran's personality? He and other students in the class Are you on good terms?"

The corner of his mouth was slightly curved, Jiang Lin leaned back on the chair back, "He is like the kind of person that exists in every class, his grades are passable, he can play basketball, nothing special, at least that's the impression he gave I don’t communicate with him very much, his friend..." Jiang Lin pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then continued: "Maybe the people who live in the same dormitory with him have a better relationship with him."

"Youran belongs to the kind of person who has a weak sense of presence in the class, right?" Song Qingwan quickly drew an image of mediocre appearance, mediocre grades, no special skills, and not cheerful enough, and Song Qingwan naturally combined this image with Especially coincident.The victims in many stories about school violence often have such an image, because they are withdrawn and unknown, even if they are bullied severely, they will not cause other problems. Song Qingwan is almost sure that Yu Ran is the victim of school violence By.

"The sense of existence is weak..." Seemingly struggling with Song Qingwan's statement, Jiang Lin hesitated a little, "It's true for me, but for others... Well, everyone's feelings are different."

"I understand, I understand..." Song Qingwan nodded again and again, and at the same time raised his hand to stop the senior who was about to speak, and then asked Jiang Lin, "Is there any classmate in your class who is very domineering and arrogant? I usually skip class and fight frame or something?"

"Our class is a key class in the school. Everyone is racing against time to study, and no one skips class. I don't understand the kind of person you are asking."

how could be?Song Qingwan poked a lot of black spots on the notebook with a pen in her hand, allowing questions to bubble up one after another from the bottom of her heart.Even though her mind was not working, she could hear that the other party was avoiding the question.But, it shouldn't be, there must be perpetrators in Youran's class, why is Jiang Lin unwilling to speak out?

The senior who was interrupted before smiled and listened to the conversation between Song Qingwan and Jiang Lin. After the two fell silent, he opened his mouth, and Li Dio greeted Jiang Lin brightly. "Jiang Lin, is there anyone in your class whose name starts with FC?"

"FC?" Frowning, recalling the names of his classmates, Jiang Lin replied, "Is it Feng Chen? You... know him?"

"Isn't he You Ran's roommate?" Even though he felt a little puzzled to hear this from the senior, Song Qingwan didn't want to delve into it.

"Roommate?" Xiaobai's eyes darkened.

"Yes, they live in the same dormitory." Jiang Lin affirmed what Song Qingwan said.

"What kind of person is Feng Chen?" Now that he got a definite answer, the senior continued to ask.

"I don't like talking very much, very introverted, and my grades are very good." Just as he was talking, a brisk ringtone rang, Jiang Lin hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pressed pause, and said to the other three apologetically: "Sorry, I have another class in a while, so I'm leaving first. I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you."

The three people present immediately expressed their understanding and watched him walk out of the coffee shop.

Doors were opened and closed again.

"Sorry, senior sisters, can I ask you a question first?" Sitting leisurely on the chair, Lu Jixuan looked at the two girls in front of him with great interest.

"Ask." Hezi said coldly, arms crossed, waiting for his next words.

"Why do you ask me about Yuran? Do you have doubts about his death?"
