It wasn't until the third day that another murder occurred in the school. Gu Wenyu was still in bed in the hospital. She received a call from Teacher Zhu early in the morning, saying that a boy died on the path next to the library.
Gu Wenyu didn't say anything, just washed up casually and called a car back to school.
Li Jia sat up from the bed alone. She looked out the window in a daze, her eyes vague, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Gu Wenyu came to the location mentioned by Teacher Zhu. The police had set up a cordon here. It was impossible for anyone else to get in, but Teacher Zhu was inside the cordon, and Captain Zhuang was talking to him.
Gu Wenyu was stopped outside the cordon. She didn't care so much at this time, and waved directly to Teacher Zhu. Teacher Zhu and Captain Zhuang looked at her at the same time, and only saw Teacher Zhu and Captain Zhuang whispering a few words.
, Captain Zhuang asked people to let Gu Wenyu in.
When Teacher Zhu saw Gu Wenyu approaching, he whispered: "It must be Wu Mian Sha."
"Let's go!" Gu Wenyu did not look at the body, but picked up Teacher Zhu and walked out.
Teacher Zhu was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and said in surprise: "Can you trace the smell?" After being unable to track it several times in a row, Teacher Zhu had given up his illusions, but he didn't expect that there would be a reversal.
"Yeah." Gu Wenyu said and couldn't help but quicken his pace, for fear that the demonic energy would be diluted again.
At this time, Captain Zhuang had also followed. He asked Teacher Zhu doubtfully: "Teacher Zhu, where are you going?"
Teacher Zhu quickly replied: "We have a clue."
Captain Zhuang's eyes gleamed when he heard this. He quickly told the people under his command, and then trotted to catch up with Teacher Zhu and Gu Wenyu.
Gu Wenyu glanced at Captain Zhuang, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Teacher Zhu seemed to understand Gu Wenyu's concerns, so he explained: "It's okay, Captain Zhuang already knows about it. With him here, it will be much more convenient for us."
Gu Wenyu nodded, and then continued to chase the demonic energy forward. At the same time, he said puzzledly: "One thing is very strange. Originally, as long as the Faceless Sha didn't appear, I couldn't find it at all. Why did it come back now?"
It suddenly appeared, and it seems that it was separated from the World Devouring Flower."
Teacher Zhu didn't look surprised, "Why do you think the Faceless Sha can disguise himself as a human?"
"Why?" Gu Wenyu really hasn't thought about this question.
"The Faceless Sha must keep eating to maintain its human appearance, otherwise it will just look like a ball of rotten meat." Teacher Zhu learned from popular science.
"Then why do we have to act separately from the World Devouring Flower? If there was a World Devouring Flower, I wouldn't be able to track it." Gu Wenyu still couldn't understand Wu Mian Sha's motives.
In this regard, Teacher Zhu also expressed that he did not know, but Team Zhuang on the side put forward a hypothesis, "Could it be because of disagreements? We have seen many dog-eat-dog situations like this."
Gu Wenyu and Teacher Zhu both looked at Captain Zhuang, as if this was a reasonable explanation. Teacher Zhu thought for a moment and said, "If it's a disagreement, then that means the person who wants to eat people is just Wu Miansha."
At this point, Teacher Zhu sighed again, "If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for us to find the Faceless Sha."
Gu Wenyu didn't answer. The demonic aura in the air was getting weaker and weaker. She had to concentrate on distinguishing it.
The three of them walked all the way to the staff dormitory. Gu Wenyu glanced at Teacher Zhu, his eyes even more confused, "I have been here so many times before, why didn't I notice anything..."
"It should have happened after that." Teacher Zhu guessed, after all, Gu Wenyu had not been to the staff dormitory in the past two days.
Gu Wenyu walked all the way inside and led the two of them to the last building, "This is it." She frowned and said, "But something's not right. The demonic energy here is too weak."
"What do you mean?" Captain Zhuang asked confused.
"If the Faceless Sha is really inside, then the demonic energy shouldn't be so weak." Gu Wenyu explained, but she was more confused than Captain Zhuang, "But the demonic energy disappeared here, I shouldn't be mistaken.
.”
"Go up and take a look first." Teacher Zhu said and walked into the building.
When Gu Wenyu saw that Teacher Zhu had already entered, she did not hesitate any longer and caught up with Teacher Zhu in a few steps, then walked at the front.
The three of them didn't take the elevator. If they took the elevator, Gu Wenyu wouldn't be able to tell which household they were in.
So they walked up floor by floor until they reached the ninth floor. Gu Wenyu sniffed everywhere, then pointed to a house in the middle and whispered: "That's it."
Captain Zhuang nodded and went straight to knocking on the door.
After knocking for a long time, no one answered, but the door next door was knocked open. It was an old man with white hair and beard. The old man opened the door and asked: "Who are you?"
Team Zhuang showed his ID and then asked, "Grandpa, do you know this family?"
The old man nodded, "I know Xiao Hu. He is a teacher at Lanyin University. He seems to teach art." After saying that, the old man asked cautiously: "Officer, what do you want to do with Xiao Hu? He, no
Could he have committed something?"
Captain Zhuang did not answer the old man's question, but asked: "Do you have his contact information?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. You can go to school and ask."
Captain Zhuang nodded, "Thank you." Then he looked at Teacher Zhu and Gu Wenyu and said, "I'll make a call."
The old man looked at the three people with curiosity on his face, "Officer, what happened?"
Captain Zhuang's face darkened when he heard this, "Sorry, it's not convenient for us to reveal the details of the case."
As he said that, he walked downstairs, and Gu Wenyu pulled Teacher Zhu downstairs. Teacher Zhu wanted to guard the door, fearing that Wu Miansha would take the opportunity to escape, but Gu Wenyu insisted on pulling him away.
Seeing that there was no excitement, the old man closed the door angrily.
When Gu Wenyu saw the old man closing the door, she whispered: "The smell here is too light. It's very similar to the smell of the World-Eating Flower before. It's very likely that the Faceless Sha is no longer in there."
Teacher Zhu looked up at the ninth floor, his tone full of doubts, "World Devouring Flower? Why did the World Devouring Flower pick up the Faceless Sha here?"
Gu Wenyu shrugged, "How do I know? Maybe they have reconciled again."
Teacher Zhu rolled his eyes at Gu Wenyu, "Have you been to the art building in the past two days?"
Gu Wenyu nodded, "I've been there, but I didn't find any demonic energy."
"That's weird." Teacher Zhu touched his chin. He couldn't understand. If Wu Mian Sha was a teacher in the Art Department, Gu Wenyu should be able to find some clues in the Art Department.
Captain Zhuang just hung up the phone at this time, he whispered: "It's not strange."
Gu Wenyu and Teacher Zhu both looked at Captain Zhuang, waiting for his next words.
Captain Zhuang did not show off, and then said: "Hu Hongbo took leave these two days and didn't go to class at all."
"No wonder." Gu Wenyu finally understood. She thought there was something wrong with her nose.
As soon as she finished speaking, Teacher Zhu's expression suddenly changed, "Something happened in the school!"
