Chapter 395: The First Disappearance

Translator: Zayn_

Jiang Xuyan looked at Tang Zinian and bumped his arm. “Lil Tang, aren’t you this classmate’s cousin? You should know, right?”

“Yeah, cousin, hurry up and tell us.”

Zhao Yingnan: “Yes, cousin. If you have something to say, just say it.”

Tang Zinian looked at the three of them in shock. “Forget about Sister Shu, why did Sister Yingnan follow Teacher Jiang’s bad example?”

“What do you mean, just forget about me?” Shu Ling’s eyes were fierce as she rolled up her sleeves.

“Because Sister Shu Ling, you don’t look very kind…”

Tang Zinian was halfway through his sentence when Shu Ling pressed down on his shoulder.

His expression changed. “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…Sister, 1 was wrong. You’re magnanimous…”

“Ahem.”

Gu Xingchen almost lost his composure. He coughed lightly and reminded her, “This is the infirmary. If you want to make a scene, go out and make a scene. There’s a patient lying here!”

“I’m sorry.” Shu Ling immediately let go.

Tang Zinian stretched his shoulders. “Gu… The doctor is right. How can you make a scene in the infirmary?”

Gu Xingchen looked at the few people who were still ‘winking’ at each other and was very speechless.

“Tang Zinian, are you aware of your cousin’s condition?”

“What? Cousin?” Tang Zinian was stunned for a moment. “Oh, Cousin… Uh… My cousin is very introverted. She will only bury things in her heart when she encounters them, so I’m not very sure about her situation.”

“Doctor Gu, if you say so, could it be that my cousin has a terminal illness? If it’s really a terminal illness, just tell me everything. Don’t worry, I can withstand any blow…”

The words that followed became smoother and smoother.

Tang Zinian wanted to give himself a thumbs up.

Therefore, when Gu Xingchen looked over, he puffed out his chest and raised his head with a smile.

“Your cousin is sick, but you look very happy?” Gu Xingchen put on a suspicious expression.

Tang Zinian’s expression froze. He did not care who was laughing behind him. He immediately covered his face, squatted down exaggeratedly, and slapped the bed as he cried, “Cousin…”

“How am I supposed to live if something happens to you?”

“Pfft-”

Jiang Xuyan couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Song Qingyou didn’t hold back and quickly looked away.

Gu Xingchen’s face twisted. “As classmates, you can still laugh-”

Before he finished his sentence, Jiang Xuyan quickly followed Tang Zinian’s example and arrived beside the bed.

“Deskmate! You have to get better quickly!”

The two of them would rather exaggerate than be called OOC by the director and sent to a dark room to do their test papers.

However, not long after he got to the bed, the bed frame began to shake.

Tang Zinian turned to look at Jiang Xuyan and saw the latter looking back at him.

It wasn’t the two of them rocking the bed, it was-

The two of them looked at the extra on the bed and saw that she had raised her arm to cover her mouth. She wanted to laugh but did not want to make a sound. She even laughed until the bed creaked.

“Pfft-”

This time, Zhao Yingnan couldn’t hold it in anymore.

She quickly followed Tang Zinian and rushed to the bed.

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone finally realized that it was not a good thing to continue like this. Xu Xingzhou reminded, “Doctor Gu, you haven’t finished speaking.”

Tang Zinian calmed down.

“Doctor Gu, look at my cousin-”

“From the current situation, your cousin is usually under too much pressure, causing her stomach to be not very good. Also, her hands…”

Gu Xingchen lifted the sleeve of the person on the bed. “There are some bruises. It doesn’t look like a fight, but a one-sided beating.”

“What-?” Tang Zinian widened his eyes in surprise.

Zhao Yingnan unconsciously touched the bruise marks and then touched the eyeshadow on her hand…

Shu Ling lowered her head to take a look. “Looks like it’s a plot.”

“So she was beaten up in school?” Jiang Xuyan asked.

“It could also be domestic violence.” Xu Xingzhou said, “We’ll only know when she wakes up.”

“It’s not domestic violence.” Gu Xingchen said, “This semester, she has been sent to the infirmary several times. Every time 1 ask her what happened, she refuses to tell me.”

Without waiting for them to ask further, he naturally talked about something else.

“I heard from a few students that you’re all from the Mystery Club?”

“Yes.” The person who answered was Yu Muhuai, the president of the Mystery Club.

“So, you’re the ones investigating the school’s ghost stories?”

Gu Xingchen took out a book related to folklore from the table and smiled. “I’m also very interested in these. Can I join your investigation?”

“Assistant Teacher Xu and Teacher Song just graduated not long ago. They’re still young. With me watching over them, they might be better.”

Yu Muhuai looked up at the others.

“I have no objections.” Song Qingyou was the first to speak, and the others naturally wouldn’t refuse.

However, none of them had any intention of telling Gu Xingchen the information from the previous investigation.

On the contrary, Gu Xingchen was very generous. “I’ve been a school doctor here for more than a year. I’ve also investigated these ghost stories.”

“The first ghost story that appeared was about the red maple tree three years ago. The next ghost story was about the sculpture in the school.”

“Three years ago? Isn’t that the time of the first missing person case?” Tang Zinian almost blurted out.

Realizing that he had let it slip, he quickly covered his mouth.

But it was too late.

Fortunately, they did not blame him.

“The first missing person case?” Gu Xingchen asked curiously, “Do you know what happened in the first case? I asked a few teachers, but they all kept their mouths shut. I thought this was some kind of taboo.”

“We know.” Song Qingyou stood up again. “The first person who went missing was a student council member.”

“Was it a male or female student?” Gu Xingchen frowned slightly.

Yu Muhuai glanced sideways. “So what if they’re missing? Is it useful to ask about the gender?”

“I just want to know more information.”

“It’s a male classmate.” Song Qingyou didn’t doubt it at all. “This is what we found in the reports.”

Jiang Xuyan and the others nodded.

Gu Xingchen lowered his eyes. “I see… 1 thought that the first person to go missing was that female student…”

“Female student? Which one?” Tang Zinian asked.

“It’s the one I read about in the newspaper before. It said that brother borrowed money from a loan shark…”

“It’s that one!”

Tang Zinian came to a sudden realization. “It’s that girl who had good grades, but her brother wanted to use her to pay off his debts… That brother is too disgusting. He’s simply the scum of the earth!”

“Why does Doctor Gu think that this girl was the first one to go missing?” Jiang Xuyan interrupted him when he saw that he was about to continue talking nonsense.

Other than the murderer, who would know the order?

Gu Xingchen didn’t feel guilty at all when faced with their questioning gazes. “Because more people know about this case, I thought this was the first missing person case. I didn’t expect my deduction to be wrong.”

“Anyway, that’s what I think. The first person to go missing is always the most special. If we can find out the reason for the disappearance, then we might be able to find out the truth about the consecutive missing cases in the school..”
