Ten minutes later, I walked to Xie Tianhao's dormitory building out of breath.
As mentioned before, Bacheng University of Technology and Business is a university built on a mountain. The campus entrance and teaching buildings are near the foot of the mountain, while the school's dormitory area is on the mountainside, so walking from the teaching building to the dormitory area is
It actually takes more than ten minutes to walk on a mountain road.
Asking questions as I walked, I soon came to the dormitory building where Xie Tianhao lived. There was a construction site not far from the dormitory building, and a group of workers were busy building three new dormitory buildings.
Standing downstairs, I looked up at the roof.
This dormitory building has a total of six floors. The deceased Xie Tianhao jumped from the building on the sixth floor. However, although it is a six-story dormitory in name, because the dormitories of this school are built on the slopes of mountains,
The ground floor of the dormitory building has been artificially raised. Therefore, the sixth floor of this dormitory is actually equivalent to the seventh or eighth floor of an ordinary small high-rise building.
No wonder the police didn't pay much attention to the missing eyeball tissue on the corpse at that time. If you jumped from a building at such a height, your head would hit the ground first. I can imagine the tragedy of the scene at that time.
At first I wanted to see Xie Tianhao's death scene, so I walked around downstairs. However, because it had been more than a week since the incident, the police had closed the case. Therefore, Xie Tianhao's death scene had been completely cleaned up. If it hadn't been for someone
There is still a blood-red trace left on a piece of grass. I'm afraid I didn't even know that someone jumped over the building here.
There were no clues at the scene, so I planned to go into the dormitory building to take a look. Just as I was about to go in, my cell phone rang in my pocket.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was Lin Qianyi's call. I quickly pressed the answer button.
"Sister Lin, what's the matter?"
"Sijiu, where are you?" Lin Qianyi on the other end of the phone deliberately lowered her voice. Gao Liang and another man's voice could also be heard on the phone. It sounded like they were still over there in the teaching building.
I quickly replied: "Sister Lin, I am in Xie Tianhao's dormitory, and I am going to ask his classmates about the situation."
"Okay. Sijiu, we also have a situation here. You can stop by and confirm it later."
"What's going on?" I replied without thinking.
"We found out from the counselor of Xie Tianhao's class that Xie Tianhao's popularity in his class was not very good. It seems that many classmates hate him. I suspect that Xie Tianhao's death may be due to this reason. Please remember to ask about it later.
Matters in this regard.”
"I see."
"Contact us if you have any news. We will notify you if we have news." After Lin Qianyi finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
I put away my phone and looked up at the row of balconies on the sixth floor of the building.
Xie Tianhao had a very bad relationship with the people around him? How does this relate to his death? I couldn’t think of it for a while, but since Lin Qianyi would take special care of me and ask me to pay attention to this problem, she must have her own
intention.
I made a note of Lin Qianyi's concern, pasted it on the memo in my heart, and walked into the dormitory building.
When I entered the building, I had prepared a speech to deal with the dormitory building manager, but to my surprise, no one in the dormitory had any questions about me, a stranger, entering the building.
No one stopped me, and no one asked me about the purpose of entering the building. I just walked up to the sixth floor unimpeded.
The corridor on the sixth floor was extremely busy. The doors of every dormitory were almost open. Walking in the corridor, I could clearly see the students in the dormitory, either watching movies or playing games. Some people saw
As a stranger, I passed by their door and only glanced briefly without asking anything.
Seeing that there were almost everyone in every dormitory on the sixth floor, I thought to myself that I had come at the right time. It seemed that Xie Tianhao's class was not in class yet.
So I walked outside Xie Tianhao's dormitory door, wanting to get some news from his roommate first.
However, I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door. Instead, I knocked out the person in the dormitory next door.
A student with glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle stuck his head out from next door, stared at me up and down, and then asked: "Who are you looking for?"
I quickly explained that I was Xie Tianhao's former classmate. I knew something had happened to him and wanted to come and see where he lived.
The man with glasses looked at me warily: "Huh? Are you his classmate? Then where are you from?"
I immediately realized that my accent aroused the other party's suspicion, and quickly explained that I was actually Xie Tianhao's elementary school classmate. Because he moved out of town when he was very young, his accent was not like that of Bacheng.
After hearing my explanation, the bespectacled student let down his guard. He walked out of his dormitory wearing a pair of big pants and explained to me: "That's right... I'm sorry, I thought you were a thief. Recently, I thought you were a thief."
We always have people stealing things here, and everyone is a little nervous."
I smiled and said it was okay, and then asked him why no one opened the door to Xie Tianhao’s dormitory?
The bespectacled student glanced at Xie Tianhao's dormitory, curled his lips and said, "They? They all went home. After all, someone died in the dormitory, and those guys were scared to death. No one dared to come back to live for fear of killing Xie Tianhao.
The ghost came to see them again."
"The ghost who killed Xie Tianhao?"
I quickly asked what was going on. The bespectacled student looked around and saw that there was no one else in the corridor, so he whispered: "To tell you the truth, I was also in the dormitory that night. Before Xie Tianhao died, several people in our dormitory heard Xie Tianhao
He was shouting that there is a ghost, there is a ghost. Within a few seconds, he heard a muffled sound coming from the window. When he went to the balcony to take a look, he discovered that Xie Tianhao had committed suicide by jumping off the building."
I was immediately shocked and said, "What? Is there such a thing? Then why didn't the police mention it at all?"
The bespectacled student shook his head: "Who dares to say this to the police? Let alone whether the police believe it or not, if the school finds out, they will probably accuse us of feudal superstition! Besides, Xie Tianhao is not a good person. He is dead.
Just die, no one will care..."
At this point, the spectacled student remembered that I was now Xie Tianhao's old classmate. It seemed inappropriate to say bad things about Xie Tianhao in front of me, and he quickly wanted to change his words.
Thinking of Lin Qianyi asking me to inquire about Xie Tianhao's interpersonal relationships, I comforted him that I hadn't seen Xie Tianhao for more than ten years, and I didn't know what kind of person he had become now. I hoped he could tell me more.
Why did you describe Xie Tianhao like this just now?
The student with glasses hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when the door of a dormitory at the end of the corridor opened. A boy pulled the door open and shouted to the stairs: "Xiao Anzi! Xiao Anzi! Come up quickly!"
A few seconds later, I heard the sound of running up the stairs, and a student who looked dark-skinned and thin ran up.
I don't know why, but the student named "Xiao Anzi" had a very good attitude towards the person who called him before. He didn't look like he was treating his classmates, but more like a waiter greeting guests.
What made me even more dumbfounded was that not long after, I saw the student take out a large bag of underwear from the dormitory and put it on the ground. Then he took out ten yuan and stuffed it into Xiao Anzi, then closed the door.
.
After collecting the money, Xiao Anzi picked up the clothes and was about to leave. When he saw me and the student with glasses, he came over and said to the student with glasses with a smile: "Brother Huang, do you have any clothes to wash today?"
"No! You go first, I have something else to do." As he said that, the bespectacled student pulled me into the dormitory and closed the door.
I put my ear against the door and waited until the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Then the student with glasses pointed to the door and said to me: "That person just now is the poorest boy in our class, his name is Zhang An. Who knows Xie Tianhao best?"
No matter how bad a guy is, he belongs to that kid."
"What does this mean?"
The glasses student gave me a brief explanation. As I heard before, the college he and Xie Tianhao are in is a college specifically for wealthy people. Students who enter this college, especially local students,
, they are all children from rich families who do not have satisfactory scores in the college entrance examination, but hope to obtain undergraduate certificates. However, this is not the case for all students in the college. There are also some people, not to mention Zhang An, who rely on normal college entrance examination channels.
Those who got in. Because their college is rich, it has established some cooperative projects with a foreign university. Students with excellent grades can have the opportunity to study abroad, so it is somewhat attractive to them. These are admitted normally.
The family background of the students is generally much worse than that of Xie Tianhao and others.
Among these students, Zhang An is one of the students from the poorest family. Although he is not so poor that he cannot even afford to study, he is still in dire straits. The money provided by his family can barely cover his tuition.
As for living expenses, there is not even half a cent.
Therefore, in order to survive, Zhang An did various work-study programs in school. Sometimes, he would even run errands for his classmates and wash clothes to earn some small money.
For this reason, some wealthy local students look down on Zhang An. Not only that, they even bully him intentionally or unintentionally. Among these people, the one with the worst nature is Xie Tianhao.
Xie Tianhao caught Zhang An's weakness of being short of money and often used small amounts of money to make things difficult for him. For example, he paid him to do laundry in the middle of winter, deliberately peed on Zhang An's bedding, and then compensated him with dozens of dollars.
If these were just minor quarrels, then one time Xie Tianhao did something that even others could not understand.
Once, Xie Tianhao found a girl and asked her to pretend to hook up with Zhang An and pretend to be interested in him. Later, after Zhang An developed feelings for the girl and wrote a love letter, he asked the girl to rape him in public.
I read the love letter out and then tore it into pieces.
Zhang An had always been resigned to Xie Tianhao's bullying and did not dare to resist, but even though he was like this, Xie Tianhao did not let him go, and instead intensified the situation. Just a few days before Xie Tianhao committed suicide, a theft occurred in their dormitory.
A mobile phone that Tianhao kept in the dormitory was also stolen.
Just when everyone suspected that an outside thief had sneaked into the dormitory, Xie Tianhao didn't know why, but he insisted that Zhang An was the one who stole the things. Although no evidence was found afterwards, he still ordered someone to beat Zhang An severely.
Not only that, Xie Tianhao also took advantage of the situation to force Zhang An to sign a so-called slave contract, requiring Zhang An to obey unconditionally for the next three years.
The bespectacled student finally said that it was thanks to Zhang An's kindness and good temper that he could still tolerate this. If it had been anyone else, he might have even wanted to kill Xie Tianhao.
