Chapter 136: The Salvation Squad 2
Qi Jin hurried to Lingjiu's house before the first rays of sunlight hit the earth the next morning. Shi Er warmly welcomed her in, carefully arranged a room for her, and then went on to do other things.
Lingjiu had to go to school to take care of things today, so she didn't sleep in. When she came downstairs, she saw Qi Jin sitting on the sofa like a guard, motionless.
Qi Jin heard the noise, turned around and saw Ling Jiu, immediately stood up, bowed slightly, and called out politely, "Hello, Young Master Ling."
Lingjiu smiled and nodded in response: "Good morning, let's go to school first."
Qi Jin nodded quickly: "Yes, Master Ling, I'm ready." Then he quickly caught up with Ling Jiu.
Qi Jin drove the two to the school. It was an ordinary-looking university, the campus filled with a youthful atmosphere, but the crime had occurred in the girls' dormitory.
A month ago, every night, the sound of miserable crying could be heard from the corridor of the girls' dormitory. The sobbing was like a plaintive cry, filled with endless sorrow. Sometimes, the girls in the dormitory even felt a chilling feeling, as if the crying girl was right there in their dorm, watching them from a dark corner, as if searching for something.
This terrifying atmosphere made the girls in the girls' dormitory miserable. Every night was a nightmare for them, trembling with fear and unable to sleep. Initially, the school took the matter very seriously and immediately reported it to the police. The police quickly launched an investigation, but as the investigation deepened, they discovered that this was no ordinary case, but rather a supernatural incident. In desperation, the police privately contacted Xuanmen.
After the Xuanmen arrived, they used various methods and indeed found some clues. That night, they prepared to subdue the vengeful spirit. However, when they actually faced the spirit, they were shocked. It turned out that this vengeful spirit was no ordinary vengeful spirit, but was surrounded by merit.
This situation put the Xuanmen people in a dilemma. They could not arbitrarily eliminate the vengeful spirit with merit, so they could only try to dissolve her resentment. However, the resentment of this vengeful spirit was too heavy, like a thick dark cloud that could not be dissolved. No matter how hard the Xuanmen masters tried, they could only make a drop in the bucket and could not completely dissolve it.
In the end, they had no choice but to work together to set up a powerful formation to trap the vengeful spirit first, at least this would ensure that she would not harm others for the time being.
After the two got off the car, they walked straight towards the dormitory. Along the way, Qi Jin frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "Master Ling, this vengeful spirit is not simple. We must be extra careful." Ling Jiu nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let's take a look at the situation first."
Lingjiu arrived at the dormitory door and glanced around, but found no trace of the vengeful spirit. She felt something was amiss, and after a moment's hesitation, she turned and headed for the rooftop. As expected, the rooftop's formation showed clear signs of tampering.
Lingjiu raised the tail of his eyebrow slightly: "Interesting."
Qi Jin didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?"
Lingjiu shook his head.
According to the profile, this vengeful spirit was a junior in college. She was gifted with extraordinary beauty, having been voted the campus beauty for three consecutive years, making her a well-deserved celebrity. Her roommates and classmates described her as a highly academically accomplished and approachable person, with a kindness like the warm spring sun, warming everyone around her.
She came from a poor family, having lost her father at a young age, and had always lived with her mother. The burdens of life didn't break her; instead, they forged her resilience. She would work part-time during her breaks to help relieve her mother's stress.
She was a very optimistic and strong person. Everyone was extremely surprised by her suicide. After all, she loved her mother so much, and everyone firmly believed that she would never abandon her mother.
But according to the police investigation, she did commit suicide.
After thinking about it, Lingjiu finally decided to start with her roommate. At this time, there were only three people in the dormitory. Seeing Lingjiu and Qi Jin's arrival, the three of them were full of confusion.
One of the girls with ponytails asked timidly, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Qi Jin stepped forward, took out his ID and waved it, then said politely, "We are from the police, and we want to know more about Su Xiao."
The girls looked at each other, and the girl who had just spoken invited them into the dormitory. After the two sat down, the girl asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Qi Jin looked at her gently and asked, "Where are the other two people in your dormitory?"
The girl replied, "Wang Jing's family passed away, so she took a leave of absence a long time ago and hasn't returned. Zhang Meng is timid, and she was really scared by what happened before. She's in a very bad mental state now and can't continue with her classes, so she's taking a temporary leave of absence."
Lingjiu asked again: "What is the relationship between Lidya Su and them?"
The girl held her chin with her hand, thought for a moment, and answered, "Su Xiao and Wang Jing have a very good relationship, just like sisters, inseparable all day long. As for Zhang Meng, I can only say that they are just ordinary, not a particularly deep friendship."
Qi Jin then asked, "Did Su Xiao show any abnormalities before he jumped off the building? For example, his emotions or behavior?"
The girl quickly shook her head: "No, really not, everything is normal. She still attends classes and works part-time as usual, and chats and laughs with us."
Qi Jin asked, "Has she encountered any problems in her studies or life? Even if they are small things?"
The girl hesitated for a moment and replied, "No, at least we didn't notice it. But... once I saw her on the phone, and she looked a little unhappy. But when I asked her, she said it was a small matter at home and told us not to worry."
Qi Jin's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, "Then do you know what family matter this is about?"
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, Lidya Su doesn't want to talk about it, and we don't ask too much. She has always been very independent."
Qi Jin nodded and asked, "What happened after that? Did she behave in any unusual way?"
The girl thought for a moment and said, "It seems nothing special, just like before. However, a few days before she jumped off the building, she seemed a little busy and often came back to the dormitory very late. When we asked her, she said something happened at her part-time job."
Lingjiu and Qi Jin exchanged a glance, and Lingjiu continued to ask, "Then do you know where she works part-time?"
The girl replied: "It seems to be a coffee shop near the school, I'm not sure exactly."
Lingjiu asked again: "Does she have any special friends or regular customers in the coffee shop?"
The girl frowned and thought for a moment: "I'm not sure about this. We are usually busy with our own things and don't pay much attention to it."
After getting the answers they wanted, Lingjiu and Qi Jin stood up and prepared to leave.
