three murderers

Indeed, in this kind of weather, no one wants to stay outside for a second.

Bu Sifei and Bai Lu had no choice but to go ahead and rush to the restaurant as soon as possible.

On the way to the restaurant, the two huddled together under a small sun umbrella. Although they were not exposed to the sun, they were still uncomfortably hot, so Bai Lu urged Bu Sifei to go faster, but found that Bu Sifei's walking pace was a little slow. Strange, it seems that his foot was injured, but he kept trying to keep up with Bai Lu's speed.

"What's wrong with your feet?" Bai Lu suddenly slowed down and asked with concern.

"The heel hurts a little. It should be caused by the shoes. It's not like you don't know that I have this problem when I wear new shoes. It's fine! It will be fine in two days!" Bu Sifei also slowed down and kicked the ground with his toes answer.

"Aren't your feet worn out because of new shoes? Are these your new shoes?" Bai Lu seemed no stranger to this situation, so she questioned.

"No, but it's true that I haven't worn it a few times! When I go back after eating, I'll be fine after taking a rest!"

Bai Lu knew about his habits, so she didn't ask any more questions, and hurried to the restaurant they had reserved.

Their lunch didn't take much time. Even though today was a special day, they could take this opportunity to relax, but the habit they had developed over the years made them unconsciously race against time, and everyone had already tacitly understood this habit.

Although the food was delicious and the meal process was wonderful, the temperature outside at noon, combined with the heat itself after eating, made the process of returning to school extremely painful.After finally returning to school, all three of them were sweating profusely, and the expressions on their faces were indescribable. It didn't look like they had enjoyed a delicious meal, but rather like they had endured a severe torture.

They finally returned to the cool and comfortable laboratory.

"Hey, where's Gu Xin?" After entering the laboratory, Bai Lu saw that Gu Xin was not behind her.

"Are you still there just now? Probably went to the bathroom." Bu Sifei responded casually.

As soon as the words were finished, Gu Xin appeared at the door of the laboratory with an extra lunch box in her hand, which was Bai Lu's lunch box.It turned out that she went to the tutor's laboratory to pick up the lunch box.

While handing the lunch box to Bai Lu, she smiled and whispered to Bai Lu, "Mr. Qin said, thank you for the chicken soup!"

Bai Lu took the lunch box slowly, stared at Gu Xin with tired eyes, and slowly squeezed out a smile.

Gu Xin didn't have much expectation for this weekend, it should be said that not only this weekend, but all weekends.Since becoming a graduate student, she has rarely enjoyed leisure time on weekends. Most of them are spent in the laboratory with boring and meaningless experiments and endless data, which is different from the usual so-called working days. What a difference.

The only difference is that this weekend has bored her beyond belief.

One of the reasons is that it rained this weekend for two full days.Sometimes it rained heavily, sometimes it rained lightly, and it never stopped in these two days.Although the rain can temporarily relieve the annoying hot weather, the rain also gives people a bad impression of inconvenience and humidity.

But the rain is not useless. For Gu Xin, the only benefit is probably to trap her in this laboratory building and concentrate on doing what she should do, nothing more.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On Sunday evening, in the sky that had just rained, the thick clouds had not yet dissipated. It seemed that there would be another downpour in the evening.But at this moment, looking out of the window, the nearby sky has darkened, presenting a vague dark blue.From near to far, the clouds are getting thinner and the sky is getting brighter, but the sky at this moment is just the last struggle before night falls.

Through the window, Gu Xin quietly admired the wonderful picture in front of her, feeling very peaceful and comfortable in her heart.In her memory, it seems that she has not experienced this kind of carefree feeling for a long time. She hopes to maintain this state until the completion of the pre-defense tomorrow, the completion of the formal defense, and until she puts on her academic gown to accept the ceremony, until she The moment I finally walked out of the school gate, I successfully ended my student career.

The next day, Gu Xin, like other students, came to the classroom very early, quietly waiting for the arrival of the pre-defense and the arrival of Teacher Qin.Any waiting process seems extremely long, and it is the same now, it can even be said to be suffering.

What is unbearable is that this suffering seems to never end.Nine o'clock, 09:30, ten o'clock, 10:30 o'clock, they waited until nearly eleven o'clock, but the teacher never appeared!

The atmosphere in the classroom slowly changed with the passage of time. The students present were only puzzled at first, but gradually became anxious, and the whole classroom became more and more noisy.

"Ms. Zhang, is Mr. Qin still coming? When will this be?" Some of the students got impatient and questioned the teaching assistant Zhang San.

"That's right, it's already eleven o'clock, I'm going to eat if I don't come!" Someone echoed.

"I guess I won't be here this morning. Let's leave first. I'll let you know if there's anything else." Zhang San was at a loss, and no one answered his phone calls to the teacher. Now he could only let the students leave on their own.

The crowd dispersed without a moment's hesitation, and as the crowd dispersed, the classroom returned to tranquility.

When the doubtful and cheerful students returned to the laboratory building one after another, suddenly, a melodious and melodious mobile phone rang from nowhere.

At this time, all the students were at the stairs on the third floor. They all held their breath and stood still. The surroundings became extremely quiet in an instant, only the ringing of the bell rang through the entire laboratory building.The melodious and melodious melody of the bell was very familiar to the students present!After listening carefully, they finally determined the source of the sound: the fourth floor, the office of the tutor Qin Chu, which is also the ringtone of his mobile phone.

A group of people came to the office door, but they were at a loss. They looked at each other and walked back and forth in place. An ominous premonition enveloped them and the entire building.

"Teacher... Teacher Qin? Are you there, Teacher Qin?" A student knocked on the door and called out a few times tentatively, but there was no response, and there was no movement in the room, as if there was no one there.

At this moment, another teacher, Wu Ming, came to the stairs, noticed the strange behavior of this group of people, and came to ask why.So everyone glanced at me and told him everything about the situation this morning.

"Is that so? That's strange. Your teacher Qin has never been absent from class, and you will never make such low-level mistakes!" Considering Qin Chu's usual work attitude, Wu Ming also felt that something was wrong.

"Yeah, Mr. Qin has a strong sense of time, and he's not the kind of person who would leave his phone in the office carelessly." Assistant teacher Zhang San quickly added.

So Wu Ming took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, and the surroundings consciously became quiet again. The familiar ringtone rang again. The teacher maintained the posture of making a phone call and looked into the room, as if he could see through the walls and into the room. everything that happened.

After thinking for a while, Wu Ming comforted the students present and made a phone call again. From his words, it was known that he was reporting the incident to the college leaders.

There are more and more people on the fourth floor of the laboratory building. There are teachers and more students. They don't know what happened, but they are attracted by the noise, purely to watch the fun.

After a while, the leaders of the college arrived.After understanding the situation in detail, the leaders also felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that I forgot my mobile phone in the office? Did any of you see Teacher Qin this morning?" The leader looked around everyone, including the students present.

"No..." Everyone shook their heads.

"Teacher Qin won't be so careless, and it seems that he didn't come to school at all today!" Zhang San emphasized again.

"In this way... whoever of you can contact his family, hurry up and see if he is at home." The leader kept blinking, trying to think of a solution, "Then go downstairs to the security room, take the spare key to open the door, and see Let's see what happens."

For some reason, the teachers also had a vague premonition in their hearts.So, before opening the door, the leader signaled the teachers present to dismiss all the students.

"You think nothing will happen to Teacher Qin, right?" Bu Sifei asked as soon as he took his seat in the student laboratory.

"Probably not. What could happen?" Bai Lu agreed first.

"That's right, what can happen here, maybe it's like the leader said, the mobile phone was left in the office." Gu Xin also answered.

"I think you're hoping that something will happen to our Teacher Qin!" A classmate said eccentrically. His name is Li Yong, and he has never had a good relationship with Bu Sifei.

Hearing this, among the six people in the laboratory, except for Gu Xin who was expressionless, Bai Lu who was distressed, and Bu Sifei who was unhappy, the other three secretly thought it was funny.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Perhaps seeing their half-smile expressions, Bu Sifei couldn't hold back after all.

"What I said, you know it in your heart!" The other party didn't admit it at all.

"Please explain clearly to me!" After saying that, Bu Sifei approached Li Yong, as if fighting.

From the very beginning, Bai Lu sensed Bu Sifei's anger and was always by his side. At this moment, she quickly grabbed him, even hugged him, and pushed him onto her seat.

"Can't you just say a few words!" Gu Xin yelled at Li Yong, seeing Bai Lu struggling to maintain the peace of the laboratory, she couldn't help but help.

After being yelled at by the woman, Li Yong felt bored and didn't say anything more. The quarrel finally subsided.

As for the door of Qin Chu's office, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the spare key was finally brought out. After a dull sound of unlocking, the office door was slowly pushed open.

The scene after opening the door made everyone feel unbelievable.Qin Chu lay quietly on the desk, his head resting on the desk, his posture was a little unnatural, and there was a mess around him.

"Teacher Qin? Teacher Qin?" A teacher called softly. Seeing that there was no movement from the other party, he stepped forward and patted Qin Chu's shoulder lightly, and shouted twice, but there was still no response.

He looked at the leader of the academy at a loss, and the leader looked at him, then raised his head towards Qin Chu again: "Pull him up."

This pull didn't matter, but when they saw the scene in front of them, everyone gasped: Qin Chu's face turned purple, his mouth was wide open, and there was no sign of life.

"Ah..." The female teacher who called Qin Chu's house just now was returning, seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and screamed.

This scream resounded throughout the laboratory building, and all the students downstairs looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. They didn't know what happened in the tutor's office, but it must be something bad!

So, they all looked towards the ceiling above their heads.

In order to confirm this result, the teachers of the college stretched out their hands to the bottom of Qin Chu's nose. As expected, he didn't breathe at all. Then he turned around and shook his head in pain in front of everyone.

Everyone couldn't believe it. After helplessly accepting this fact, their expressions became extraordinarily dignified, and their eyes were all focused on the corpse of their colleague.
