Wang Chunman looked around hesitantly. Li Tao naturally withdrew his gaze early and leaned against the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
"Why aren't you talking?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, it's safe here, there's no one else, I'm living alone in Bai Muzhen and Gao Yuying's apartment now."
Wang Chunman wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. The woman on the other end of the phone was not a good person. If Wang Chunman had answered her call casually without being in a secluded place, she would definitely be scolded again.
"Then you should get ready. I just got off the plane and am waiting for someone at the airport. I will enter the school on Tuesday at the latest. You must prepare Gao Yuying's human skin mask for me."
"Well, it's already frozen at the bottom of the refrigerator. Just thaw it when you get there."
"By the way, is anyone investigating the cause of Bai Muzhen's death?"
Wang Chunman jumped off the bed and her footsteps gradually approached the door frame. When she finally walked out of the bedroom, she looked back behind the door, but there was no one there.
She showed a suspicious look, because she had always felt that there was a gaze in this position, but because of the madman on the other end of the phone, she didn't dare to mention it.
Is this an illusion again?
Wang Chunman took out a small notebook from the drawer of the coffee table and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the one who conducted the most radical investigation was the gang prince Antonio, and the person standing behind him was the daughter of the sixth director of Lu Ma."
The voice on the other end of the phone was indifferent: "It's that woman. This year, her father is the rotating chairman of the Luma University Board of Directors. This woman is obsessed with power. I'm afraid she wants to take advantage of this year to re-rank the twelve people on the board of directors and let her father move up a few places."
"How about this, you show her some clues, let her know who is involved now, if she tells you the truth, that's best, otherwise, I don't mind being the daughter of the director for her~"
Wang Chunman swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to respond to such bold words.
"There's another person investigating."
"who is it?"
"A freshman, Li Xudong, a poor student in Class A of the School of Art."
"What is your specific identity?"
"To put it simply, she is the daughter of the Li family of Guimao Liquor Industry, Li Meiniang's person. When we entered the school at the beginning of the semester, we freshmen took an additional test in the hospital."
"During that assessment, a director suddenly got involved. He ordered a group of evildoers from the school's student union to assess the new students' abilities. Li Meiniang teamed up with Li Xudong to defeat ten of the student union's officers."
"If you defeat the student union members and get their student IDs, you will get a certain amount of assessment points. Originally, with ten sets of student IDs, both of them would be rated as Class A students. But on the second day, someone found the dead student union member in the school hospital."
"All ten people died. Li Mei Niang admitted that she had given them too much alcohol, causing them to suffer from gastric perforation and alcohol poisoning, so the subsequent punishment was to deduct all her points."
"But I think she must have some secret that was seen by those students from the student union. After all, only the dead can keep secrets."
Behind the door of another bedroom, Li Tao stood quietly.
Listening to Wang Chunman's narration, Li Tao solved another doubt.
Han Guguan had reminded him many times before that Li Meiniang was not an ordinary woman, and that she must have used some cruel means during the assessment of the school hospital, which led to her being demoted to Class D. However, the detailed information was blocked by the school.
Now looking at it this matter of ten student union members dying is not a glorious thing.
That night, he and Xiangxue hid behind a haystack and happened to hear Li Meiniang having a secret meeting with a man, and she even slapped the other person.
If nothing unexpected happens, the man's name is Li Xudong.
"I've never heard of this woman, but how dare the Li family investigate things at Luma University?"
"I'm looking into it. I have some clues but I can't confirm it. I can assure you that I will give you a detailed answer before you enter Luma University."
"Okay, I'm hanging up now. Remember to rent a house on the first floor. I'll bring a woman in a wheelchair with me."
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
The other party hung up the phone first. Wang Chunman let out a deep breath and collapsed on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.
"What bad things did I do in my previous life that caused me to be involved in these troublesome and deadly things in this life..."
With a long sigh, Wang Chunman walked towards the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator and found that the bottom layer was covered with frost.
"Bang bang—"
Wang Chunman kicked the bottom layer several times, and scarlet slurry gradually flowed out.
The human skin mask of Plum Blossom K must be preserved with animal blood and at low temperatures, so that it will fit the mask well enough after being taken out.
"Today is the weekend, tomorrow is Monday, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, that crazy guy will be here."
Wang Chunman confirmed that there was no problem with the human skin mask and closed the refrigerator again.
"Another hassle. We have to rent her a house on the first floor. Who is the disabled person in the wheelchair?"
Wang Chunman went back to the bedroom cursing, found a sun-protective short-sleeve and put it on, took her cell phone and other things, and quickly walked out of the rental house.
The room fell into a brief silence for about three minutes, and then the door was suddenly opened.
Wang Chunman walked around the room expressionlessly, muttering, "This is really weird. Am I too sensitive?"
She paused in the living room for a moment and finally left.
Li Tao, who was lying under Gao Yuying's bed, breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to walk out of the bedroom just now, but when he heard the sound of the key being inserted, he immediately crawled under the bed.
Only after making sure that Wang Chunman had left did he walk out from under the bed.
The voice on the other end of the phone was not a fake voice, but the other party's real voice. What surprised Li Tao was that the voice was very childish, like a child...
This room belonged to Gao Yuying. She died innocently, simply because she heard something she shouldn't have heard and told her best friend, who she shouldn't have told.
Li Tao took out the sunglasses he had bought at the eyewear store not long ago from his pocket and gently placed them in the corner of the desk.
"Don't trust anyone in your next life. Even though she feels she owes it, she will eventually forget it completely as time passes... It's not worth it."
She is referring to Wang Chunman.
Friendship is reliable most of the time, but it cannot reach the deep level.
Li Tao walked around Gao Yuying's bedroom for a while and found no more information, so he went back to Bai Muzhen's bedroom.
He stood in front of the desk, looking at Bai Muzhen's photo and murmured: "What secret do you have? Why are so many people looking for you..."
If Bai Muzhen just came to the school to avenge her father and kill Li Tao, she shouldn't have involved so many big shots.
It is too puzzling that even the mysterious and dignified board members of Luma University are involved in this.
Li Tao walked around her bedroom for a long time. Just when he was about to give up and leave, a Barbie doll on the top of the desk caught his attention.
Barbie's hand was artificially raised, with her finger pointing under the bed.
Li Tao's eyes flickered for a moment, he lifted the bed sheet and leaned over to look at the scene under the bed.
As expected, there was a layer of dust underneath, but there were several traces of cleaning.
It seems that Wang Chunman also noticed this Barbie doll, and looked for the things left by Bai Muzhen according to the direction she pointed.
But she didn't know how Bai Muzhen's father got his name, Bai Zhi.
White fingers... "Bend fingers".
When Baizhi was born, one of his fingers was deformed, that is, it was raised and could not be pressed down.
Doesn't the anti-wolf technique for girls mention bending fingers to defeat the enemy? And the finger of Baizhi seems to be naturally bent backwards at 90 degrees.
Barbie pointed under the bed, and if the person was pointing blankly, then it could only be the ceiling...that chandelier.
Li Tao jumped lightly to the corner of the table, and with another light jump, he could see the entire scene above the chandelier, where there was a small black box hidden.
Li Tao found a silk scarf and directly pulled the small black box off.
Li Tao picked up the black box from the bed sheet, studied it for a while and found that it was a tape recorder.
There is a nine-square digital combination lock on the surface, and the word "Birthday" is written in pen in the lower right corner.
Li Tao pondered for a moment and entered Bai Muzhen's date of birth.
No response...Wrong password...
Li Tao tilted his head and recalled carefully. The date should be correct. He was once asked by Bai Zhi how to prepare a birthday present for his daughter, and the birthday cake was ordered by Li Tao.
I tried again, but the password was still wrong.
Li Tao took a few steps back in depression, then he slid down slowly to sit on the ground, pressed against the wall.
“Isn’t the password birthday?”
Li Tao closed his eyes and thought for a while. Since Barbie took advantage of her father, was it Bai Zhi's birthday?
Li Tao didn’t know the middle-aged man’s birthday, after all, he didn’t celebrate his birthday.
Tapping his fingers on the grid, he couldn't help but type in his birthday.
"Ding--"
The recorder screen lights up, unlocking is successful!
"Why is it my birthday?" Li Tao stood up unexpectedly. Because the bedroom was depressing with the curtains drawn, he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
"You are wondering why it is your birthday..."
The recorder started playing automatically. After a moment of silence, Bai Muzhen's voice continued:
"Because this recording is for you. I think that now in Luma University, except for you, no one else can know the secret of Barbie's fingers. Of course, to be on the safe side, I also set a password using your birthday."
"By the way, if I enter Luma University, do you think I'm here to seek revenge on you?"
Bai Muzhen's voice was hesitant: "You don't think so, do you?"
Li Tao's hands slowly clenched, and his lips turned visibly pale.
"A few days after my father passed away, you happened to be in a car accident and fell into a coma. I was very confused and didn't know what to do in the future..."
"So I started to investigate who was the person who sneaked into the manor and killed my father that day."
"I checked the surveillance and traced it all the way back to the hotel where the killer was staying before the assassination."
"In that room, I happened to run into a weird guy. He was wearing a golden mask, and the space between his eyebrows looked like the Joker on a playing card. Oh, and there was a woman lying in the bathroom at the time. There was a strong smell of blood. I wonder if he killed her."
"I happened to hear him mention your name, and he also knew that I was White Finger's daughter."
"This man is very strong. My intuitive feeling is that he is definitely not weaker than Madam Liu. Because I was afraid that he would be a threat to you, I pretended to tell him that I hate the killer, but I hate Liu Renna even more."
"Because the assassin's target was Liu Renna, but it caused my father's death, I wanted to use this as an excuse to stay with him and gather intelligence. I don't think he believed me, but he didn't kill me either, and he gave me the contact information of Antonio from the mafia."
"He asked me to repeat the excuse I told him to Antonio, and sure enough, he believed it. He even got me an admission letter through the back door and brought me into Luma University."
"I don't know what Antonio wants to use me for, but I know that he and the people behind him want to open a laboratory. It seems that the laboratory has been blocked for some reason."
