white night syndrome
Chapter 158 126 Isn't this against the rules? (Ask for the first order on the shelves! Ask for
Chapter 158 126. This... is against the rules, right? (Ask for the first order on the shelves! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a reward!)
"That's the best, what about Kurosawa-san?"
Shiraki took a bunch of keys from Takagi Motoji, pinned them on his waist, and asked calmly. At the same time, the sharp eyes shot out of his eyes made Takagi, a fat middle-aged man, startled.
"The problem is here..."
Takagi's face showed embarrassment, he hesitated to speak, and stretched out his hands from behind his back. Everyone saw him holding a somewhat old file bag.
The file bag is very flat, but it is also abnormally flat. It looks like it has been sealed for a long time under some heavy object, and generally speaking, it has not been taken out for a long time.
Let's put it this way... The disappearance of Kurosawa Watermelon is indeed closely related to Ridge University's predecessor, Shangying University. The attitude of the workers towards this missing case is extremely perfunctory.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and it was not because of Kurosawa Mika. In fact, the longer it is sealed, the more difficult it is to complete the case entrusted by Kurosawa Mika. This is not purely for him. Bringing trouble at work?
Kurosawa Mika also realized this, her eyes were filled with coldness when she looked at Takagi Motoji.
But... wait.
The expression on Li Ming's face became a little puzzled. When Kurosawa Mika entrusted him with the case, it was mentioned that Kurosawa Watermelon disappeared when the school was called Ridge University, and the one who was killed by Ms. Sakurai and Police Officer Shiraki The disappearance case that was traced clearly happened when it was still called Shangying University.
Even if the two have an extremely close relationship, the timelines don't match up, why?
Soon Li Ming regained his composure, and he realized that what he was thinking was just a brainstorm before seeing the file bag, and the truth of the real incident should be in the file bag.
So now we only need to wait for Takagi to take out the documents in the document bag, and tell everyone about the doubts above. It still requires a lot of patience to investigate the case.
"what happened?"
Bai Mu didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the people behind her, and asked in a calm tone, but she didn't reach out to pick up the document bag, as if she was wary of something.
"The problem is here. I went back to the file room and searched for the admission files of Kurosawa Watermelon, and then I found a big doubt..."
Takagi Motoji slowly untied the rope of the document bag, took out a stack of thick white papers, and handed the top one to Shiraki, feeling even more embarrassed.
"The year of Kurosawa Ximelon's enrollment was four years ago, and I remember clearly that the time she disappeared was two years ago, and in my impression, Kurosawa-san asked for leave due to illness, and she submitted it to the instructor It is written on the medical record notice that it is an extremely rare disease, but I am sorry that I can't remember the specifics..."
Takagi hesitated to speak, he hesitated to talk about his discovery, the second half of the sentence made Mika Kurosawa who was about to ask her swallow the words, and continued to wait and see the situation.
"Because this disease is so rare, it is impossible for such an ancient and rare disease to appear in the current social development, so our school is very impressed by this incident. For the sake of school safety, we approved the case of Xigua student. Ask for leave."
"And the disappearance happened just like that. After a few days, there was no news from Xigua, as if the world had disappeared. Out of care and care for the students, the instructor specially contacted you, the Kurosawa chaebol. Both parties After the connection, it was discovered that classmate Xigua had been missing for a few days."
Kurosawa licked his dry and cracked lips, his face was a little ugly, and his naturally hanging hands were clenched tightly subconsciously.
Hoshino Katsura, who hadn't been much involved in chatting, noticed Kurosawa's appearance, and gently took Jiang Wenkan's hand, and while holding Kurosawa's arm, he stroked her back to comfort her tense emotions.
Li Ming also noticed the appearance of the girl beside him, his complexion changed slightly, he continued to hold the black umbrella to maintain the image and posture just now, thinking about how to investigate this tricky case next in his mind.
"Then what's the problem?" Shiraki folded his hands and tapped his elbows impatiently, "Did you talk nonsense for a long time just to remind Ms. Kurosawa Mika of those bad memories? Can you tell me the main point? ?”
"Officer Baimu, please don't worry, you are investigating the disappearance case of Shangying University, can you remember when the collective disappearance case happened?" Takagi promised.
"Two years ago today, what happened?"
After Bai Mu finished speaking, she was about to continue to reprimand Takagi's nonsense literature, but she suddenly realized that her expression became even uglier, and she subconsciously groped for the protruding foreign object on her waist.
"You mean... Miss Kurosawa Watermelon is also a victim of that mass disappearance?"
"impossible!"
Kurosawa Mika was the first to veto it, and her tense emotions broke out completely at this moment, and her voice became high, which attracted some students not far away to look here.
"I remember very clearly what you said. When the director called to inform my father, he asked for leave because of illness. Before he disappeared, he also called me and said that he went to the hospital to see a doctor. It's just, just... I At that time, because I was busy with the media affairs of the chaebol, I didn’t go to accompany him much, which led to such an ending.”
"Wait, wait, let's talk about it first. I still haven't understood what you are saying." Jiang Wenkan held his chin and mused, "What is the reason for the disappearance of Miss Kurosawa Watermelon?"
"Principal Takagi and Kurosawa both asked for leave and went to the hospital because of extremely rare illnesses in their memory." Li Ming answered, leaning the black umbrella in his hand on his shoulder with a serious expression, "Then we must obey the majority Based on the principle, let’s assume for the time being that what the two of you said is the truth.”
"And when was the disappearance?" Jiang Wenkan quickly entered the state of the two communicating and discussing together before, using the most common question and answer to summarize the case.
"Principal Takagi said two years ago." Li Ming said thoughtfully, "But I clearly remember that when Ms. Kurosawa entrusted me, she said that she ran away from home three or four years ago..." Speaking While here, Li Ming glanced at the bewildered Heize, "Do you need me to repeat the original words?"
Li Ming took out a recording pen from his coat pocket, and after proper adjustments, he pressed the button.
"It's like this. My sister Kurosawa Sika ran away from home three or four years ago. I thought she would be able to return home in a few months, because she had done this kind of thing before. We went home after all our savings, so we didn’t find her back in time.”
"But this time is different. This time she ran away from home for three or four years. It was only in the second year after Xigua left home that we realized something was wrong, and we immediately used the power of the chaebol and the gang of criminal police who claimed to be Strong search capabilities, but all came to nothing.”
"Now the real question is here, why did your rhetoric change after a few hours, Kurosawa?"
Li Ming had a playful look on his face, and looked at the cheongsam girl beside him, even though he really didn't believe that Kurosawa would use such a method to play tricks on him, but the fact is so, the two reasons are completely different, and there is really no way for people to ignore it.
"Strange...Did I say that? Why..." Kurosawa Mika was in a trance after hearing the recording, "Why do I have no impression?"
"No impression? Strange."
Li Ming glanced at Takagi who was staring at them, and said to himself, he had a strange premonition that the reason why Kurosawa changed his words after a few hours might have something to do with Takagi, or the entire Ridge University.
After all, such a wonderful disease as White Night Syndrome has appeared in this world, and such strange reasons cannot be ruled out.
"Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's continue to the next session." Li Ming interrupted Jiang Wenkan who wanted to continue asking, and looked at Takagi who was waiting for work, "Principal Takagi, I can take a look at your hand. Organized data files?"
"This... is not good, this is an important file that has been sealed for a long time in the archives of Lizhi University. If it is shown to outsiders, it is against the rules." Takagi hesitated to speak.
"Where does all this nonsense come from?"
Shiraki stretched out his hand in his pocket, and snatched a stack of thick white paper from his hand.
"There are no outsiders, didn't I tell you? They are all assistants I brought to investigate the case, you must treat them as you would treat me, understand?" Bai Mu handed the white paper to Li Ming.
"And President Takagi, you don't want the school you run to continue to be under the shadow of a major accident, do you? Provide us with enough help, and we can quickly solve the case, and then restore Ridge University to its former glory."
Hearing this sentence, Li Ming couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly restrained his smile, fortunately no one noticed his disrespectful behavior.
This is the first time I've heard of Japanese police and private detectives cooperating. Isn't Police Officer Shiraki Rinne afraid of losing face as a Japanese fine imitation?
However, these words can only be buried in the heart and cannot be said out loud. This is the most basic respect for Li Ming. Even if the other party is really a well-known waste bucket, basic respect between people is still needed.
After receiving the stack of white papers, Li Ming had a familiar yet strange feeling at that moment, like the illusion that an electric current passes through the whole body instantly and then passes through the brain.
As soon as this feeling came out, Li Ming looked around subconsciously, wanting to see if anyone around saw him.
And at this time, Li Ming noticed that the same situation as himself had appeared in the Kuisawa beside him. Compared with his own electric current passing through his whole body, Kuisawa's was more like shivering.
The sudden illusion made Li Ming a little overwhelmed, but then he focused more on the stack of white paper in his hand——
"The secret must be buried in it."
"Student Kurosawa Xigua, enrolled in January [-], majoring in "Chinese Language and Chinese Culture", oh..." Li Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and continued to read, "Major According to the incident record book, Kurosawa Xigua asked for leave to go home on January [-], [-] due to physical illness, and the leave time was one week. "
"The leave note is on the back of this file." Takagi interrupted abruptly.
"You guys are quite thoughtful." Li Ming nodded in agreement, then handed a small note pasted on the back to the cheongsam girl next to her, "Kisawa, do you see that it's your sister's handwriting?" ?”
"Yes……"
Looking at things and thinking about feelings, Kurosawa couldn't stop the tears after seeing this piece of paper, gushing across his cheeks.
"Ah, very good."
Li Ming turned the page over and continued to ponder the words on it: "During the one-week leave, the instructor contacted him many times and responded, but on the eighth day, Kurosawa Shuigua did not return to school as scheduled, and the instructor It was only after the officials contacted his parents that the situation had escalated. For the sake of school atmosphere, the school did not continue to follow up and deal with it..."
"Hey, you guys are really thinking about the overall situation." Bai Mu mocked sarcastically.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We've already notified the police...how could I have imagined that the police have been here for so long...ahem..." Gao Mu quickly realized that Bai Mu in front of him belonged to the identity group he mentioned One member immediately shut up and coughed softly to cover up his embarrassment.
"What is recorded on the white paper at the back?" Li Ming handed Kurosawa Mika the admission file of Kurosawa Ximelon that he had read, tapped the surface of the paper with two fingers, made a clattering sound, and looked at Principal Takagi Motoji.
"That, that is a detailed description of the major disappearance case two years ago." Takagi quickly explained, "Our copy is a copy of the file of the Metropolitan Police Department's archives, and it is used as a record of the sealed incident file."
"That's it."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then folded the white paper in his hand into a small cube and put it in his coat pocket.
"Since it's a copy of the dossier, I'll take it first. President Takagi shouldn't mind, right?"
"This, this... is against the rules, isn't it?"
The speed of the incident was really too fast. Principal Takagi watched as Li Ming put the important documents into his pocket, but he couldn't stop him immediately because of identity issues. Bad image is bad.
"Mr. Li Ming?"
Bai Mu also looked puzzled, she tilted her head tentatively and asked.
"As I said, I'm also a professional who investigates cases. This thing is just a copy. If your school wants to get it back, you can ask the Metropolitan Police Department for a copy, right?"
Holding the black umbrella, Li Ming took a step back, his sudden performance made everyone present at a loss.
"Principal Takagi, you also know that if this kind of case cannot be resolved smoothly, it will affect your university's admission rate and enrollment rate, so solving the case as much as possible is now the only way out and the only route. What's out of order?"
"It's true to say so, but... Officer Shiraki is here... This kind of thing should be handed over to Officer Shiraki." Takagi seemed a little shaken.
"Don't you understand? You just said it yourself. This thing was copied from the file of the Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Baimu already has this record in his hand. Wouldn't it be superfluous for you to give it to her?" Li Ming pursed his lips and laughed, "Could it be that you want to give these blank papers to her to make draft papers? I don't think our police officer Baimu is not so poor."
"Okay, this kind of thing will be handed over to you."
Bai Mu's face turned pale, she sighed and compromised helplessly.
"But you have to remember that this kind of thing cannot be spread outside, cannot cause great panic to the society, cannot affect social order and security, etc. If you can abide by the above agreement, I will turn a blind eye this time. One eye."
"That's natural. I'm still very clear about this kind of thing. After all, it's my professional accomplishment." Li Ming revealed a playful smile, hummed softly, and then changed the topic.
"Then Principal Takagi, if there is nothing else, please leave first. After we investigate the clues of the incident, we will naturally leave silently. It will not affect the study and exams of the students in the school. You can rest assured .”
"Ah..." Takagi was a little at a loss, he stared at Shiraki in fear, and left angrily after seeing the girl nodding.
"Can you tell me what you found now? You are so anxious to let Takagi leave. With my friendship with you for more than 20 years, you must have discovered something, right?" Jiang Wenkan watched the fat man leave, suddenly Laughing out loud, asked softly.
"What did you find?"
Facing the questioning between the two, Bai Mu seemed a little at a loss. From her point of view, Li Ming has always been a person with an eccentric temper.
So she could only choose to compromise with what happened just now, instead of taking immediate action to prohibit him from doing so.
"Ah? Can you stop being a fool, and just say what you have to say, without typing those code words that only the two of you know." Hoshino Katsura said angrily with the same expression and tone.
"It's not a very secret discovery. Ever since I saw this dossier, I've noticed something is wrong." Li Ming rubbed his hands, but didn't take out the white paper that had just been folded into small squares, "I I remember that you said before that today is the day when all the members of Shangying University went missing."
"That's right. Two years ago today, all members of Shangying University disappeared overnight, including the school sweepers, cleaners, cooks, security guards, and a series of other personnel, all disappeared, as if the world had evaporated , There are still half-eaten ramen in the restaurant of the cafeteria on campus."
Bai Mu folded his hands and nodded thoughtfully.
"Then what new discovery does this have? Listen, I have heard about Mr. Li Ming from Mr. Yuan Qingyu long ago. As a private detective temporarily residing in Japan, you only rely on your contacts With super reasoning ability, it took less than three years to gain a foothold in Japan."
"Don't be so exaggerated, I'm still just a little detective who accepts the disappearance of cats and dogs, and catches rape. I can't compare to you, Officer Baimu." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and responded complimentingly.
"That's a relatively good achievement. As far as I know, it takes at least five or six years for foreigners who can gain a foothold in Japan to fully adapt to the situation here..." Bai Mu paused, looked at Jiang Wenkan, "And you, Mr. Jiang, you are also hiding your secrets. Although you have been working in a gray area, your investigative ability is even inferior to me."
"Don't blame us, we are just a little detective and his little partner." Jiang Wenkan chuckled, raised his right hand fingers, and brought them closer to his mouth.
"If I remember correctly, today is January 19, 2021. If we push the time back two years, it will be January 1, 19, which is the day when all missing cases show no signs. happened."
"Don't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." Bai Mu clasped his hands and hummed.
"This is not nonsense, this is one of the key points I found out." Li Ming stretched out his right index finger and waved, "And just now in the file records of Heizei Watermelon, the time of leave for Watermelon is in 12 January NO.[-] of the year."
Li Ming paused when he said this, as if he was waiting for everyone's reaction.
Jiang Wenkan quickly realized something, and yelled out his discovery in a high-pitched voice.
"I see. After Xigua's leave is over, she is supposed to return to school on January 19, 19. On that day, all the staff disappeared. When Xigua was contacted by her supervisor during the previous holidays, there was response, then it is certain that she disappeared on the day of NO.[-]."
"That's right, but this situation still has to be based on the premise that this file is true." Li Ming glanced at Bai Mu.
"The dossier is absolutely true. I can use my police rank as a guarantee. This is definitely a historical fact." Bai Mu reacted and responded quickly.
"Since Officer Baimu has said this, we can only believe it for the time being." Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then the next question is about Miss Kurosawa's memory deviation, my voice recorder definitely did not show up. Fake situation, but why came here a few hours later, and there was a serious difference in the memory of Miss Kurosawa?"
"It's harmless, the end result is that Kurosawa watermelon is missing, we just need to find the missing watermelon." Hoshino Katsura was puzzled, "Oh yes, of course there are those missing students and the sweeping auntie cleaning guards and so on. "
"This is not the case, it is precisely this that makes people unable to understand. If Miss Kurosawa's two memories are basically the same, but there are deviations in some small details, then I can completely ignore it, but... just There is even a problem with the time, which makes people have to suspect that there must be some secret hidden in this ghostly place."
"So you mean that there are secrets hidden behind Lizhi University?" Bai Mu was thoughtful.
"Otherwise, how can we explain our Miss Kurosawa's memory problem? Miss Kurosawa is not the kind of stupid or a goldfish with a seven-second memory. After all, she is the heir of the Kurosawa chaebol, and she will never make such a mistake. A low-level mistake." Li Ming took a deep breath, "The Kurosawa chaebol will not hand over the identity of the heir to a fool."
"What do you mean?" Kurosawa said angrily, "Are you calling me a fool?"
"Everyone, watch out, I didn't say anything just now, Miss Kurosawa came up and took the seat by herself, and it has nothing to do with me." Li Ming clamped the black umbrella with his shoulders, raised his hands high, jokingly smiling.
"Okay, don't talk about these irrelevant topics now. Since Mr. Li Ming has found the key point of the problem, and now we have the keys of those missing classes, it is the most correct choice to investigate quickly, right?" Shiraki interrupted the "flirting" between the two and made a lubricant.
"That's right. Officer Shiraki is right. Since we have the key with us, we should hurry up and investigate." Li Ming nodded vigorously, "If there is a problem with this school, Principal Takagi should be involved, so I will I'm afraid that he will destroy some important clues, so let's investigate as soon as possible."
Several people looked at each other and agreed to Li Ming and Bai Mu's proposal. After searching the map, they went straight to the missing class.
And not far away, a student looked here, his face was full of bewilderment, and then disappeared. Passers-by students wantonly passed through the position of the student just now, without any expression on their faces. Mood swings, as if just walking through a thick fog.
……
When I came to the designated classroom, the number plate hanging on the door revealed that this was Group A of the junior year.
"The third-grade classroom... This point also echoes that of Kurosawa Watermelon. She entered school in [-] and disappeared in [-]. Calculated at the beginning of her junior year. .” Li Ming stood in front of the door thoughtfully.
"Don't hang around the door like no one else. Since we have the designated search power for the classroom, we should hurry up and investigate and find some tricky clues."
After hearing the voice, Li Ming turned his head to look, and the white-eyed police officer in front of him had already put on disposable medical gloves, a disposable mask, plus a white coat, she looked more like a doctor than a policeman.
But thinking of the information Katsura Hoshino found on the search engine before, "he has dabbled in various fields", it is quite normal to think of it this way.
Thinking of this, Li Ming closed the black umbrella, stood by the door, and began to observe all the furnishings in the classroom.
Like the classrooms in his impression, they are all composed of podiums, blackboards, tables and chairs. Unlike the classrooms in his hometown, Japanese classrooms also have side lockers.
After looking around for a while, Li Ming gently closed the wooden door behind him. This is his instinct. When investigating cases, he always likes to look for clues in the corners. There are often missing clues in the corner behind the door. .
When catching the adulterer before, although the room was cleaned very clean, Li Ming still found a dry paper towel in the corner with bristly and messy black hair stuck to it, and this confirmed the fact that the client's wife had committed adultery with someone else.
To be fair, that was a really bad experience.
Li Ming shook his head, desperately trying to let bad memories out of his mind, but just this shaking of his head, he felt as if he had hallucinations, and unexpectedly saw a blank piece of paper full of strange words on the back of the door, and it was mixed with With dark red.
Looking closely, the words on the white paper are not ordinary Japanese characters, but Hiragana, those creepy characters written in long and thin fonts, coupled with the dark red tone and black intertwined, it is even more terrifying.
After stretching out his hand to touch the white paper, making the four corners pasted on the back of the door evener, Li Ming tried to identify and read it.
At this moment, Li Ming felt that the colors around him began to become darker, as if a page of paper was ignited by flames, slowly eating away at a corner of the page.
Li Ming turned his head to look in some horror. The people who were behind him had disappeared. Even the sky outside the window had changed from blue sky to dark gray cloudy sky. The clock hanging on the wall showed the current time and time. date--
January [-], [-].
what happened……
Back to two years ago, the day when all the members disappeared?
So... have the white dreams started again?
Then the medium should be the blank paper in front of you...
Li Ming tried desperately to wake himself up, he rubbed his temples, tore off the white paper that had been pasted behind the door, and then the lights in the classroom read the words on it.
"Shangying University Classroom Rules"
"Hello, no matter what purpose you temporarily borrowed this classroom, please be sure to abide by the following rules, these rules will allow you to better spend your time in this classroom."
"One, it's best not to borrow this classroom after ten o'clock in the evening. If you must use it, please turn on all the lights and close the curtains during use to ensure that people outside can't see you in the classroom do what."
"Second, there are a total of five switches for the lights in the classroom, which are used for the front lights of the podium, the lights of the front classroom, the lights of the back classroom, the lights of the front door of the classroom, and the lights of the rear door of the classroom."
"Three, please do not turn on the front lights of the podium, the front door lights, and the back door lights before ten o'clock in the evening; after ten o'clock, be sure to turn on all the lights, except the front lights of the podium. If the classroom is still very dark after pressing the switch, please immediately Exit the classroom."
"Four, if you accidentally turn on the headlights of the podium after ten o'clock, please leave the classroom immediately, do not try to turn off the lights that are already on, please leave the classroom immediately, please leave the classroom immediately."
"Five, if you press the wrong switch when turning on the lights, please leave the classroom immediately, stand in the corridor for 1 minute, wait for the lights in the classroom to automatically turn off and enter the classroom again, and then use it again, but please be careful not to press the switch twice in a row."
"Six, if the lights in the classroom do not turn off automatically after standing for 1 minute, please leave the teaching building immediately; if you witness the lights turning off automatically and enter the classroom again after standing for 1 minute, please leave the classroom immediately and leave the teaching building immediately .”
Are these rules?
Something always feels wrong.
Li Ming struggled to recognize the hiragana on it, and a strange feeling of coldness emerged spontaneously.
It seemed that he had returned to the experience of the previous radio show, and this unknown fear once again enveloped his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
"Seventh, if you borrow the classroom after ten o'clock, please be sure to leave before twelve o'clock, because the closing time of the dormitory is twelve o'clock. If there are important tasks to be completed, please move to the 24-hour study room in the library."
"Eight, during self-study in the classroom, please close the curtains. If you find any small food such as peanuts, soybeans, and rice on the windowsill, don't touch it. The former owners of the classroom did not carry these items."
"Nine, if you fail to abide by the eighth rule, please leave the classroom immediately and leave this teaching building immediately."
"Ten, in the process of studying, small animals in the school may visit you. In order to ensure the balance of the ecological environment, many animals are raised in the school, and there is a duck farm near the teaching building. If you hear someone beating Your window squeaks, please don’t open the curtains to look out, this is a mischievous prank by the artificially bred ducks in the school.”
"Eleven, if you find strange hairs and rodent teeth on the window sill when you open the curtains, please don't worry, these are ducks raised in the school, and they will leave traces at any time to show their status in the school. "
"Twelfth, in the process of studying in the classroom, there may be teachers who come to pick up the forgotten teaching aids. At this time, please do your own thing seriously. Please don't stare at the visitor for a long time, even if he looks at you in front of you, Please don't communicate with him, don't respond to him no matter what he says, he will leave by himself before long."
"Thirteen, don't lock the door of the classroom while studying because of the last one, don't lock the door of the classroom while studying because of the last one, don't lock the door of the classroom at any time."
"Fourteen, after eleven o'clock, people from the executive office will come to inspect the classroom. People in the school's executive office have uniform black uniforms. If you see them, you can explain your situation. If there are people in other costumes entering the classroom, please go to the classroom. Leave this classroom as soon as possible while the other party is checking, and don't look back no matter what happens."
"Fifteen, if knocking and squeaks outside the window continue to sound while studying in the classroom, please turn on the front and rear door lights immediately, the school's breeding ducks will be intimidated by the lights and driven to other places, and they will soon Get out of here, please rest assured."
"Sixteen, if the sound outside the window does not disappear after turning on the front door light and the rear door light, please leave the classroom immediately, please leave this teaching building immediately."
It can be seen that these rules seem to be hiding something, and they all revolve around the sound of knocking on windows and squeaks. The owner of the sound stated in the rules is the artificially bred ducks in the school.
Li Ming looked out of the window subconsciously, although he could see the breeding farm hidden in the misty darkness, he couldn't see the stretched necks of those so-called "ducks".
The black shadows are moving like dark clouds, which is depressing.
What Li Ming can be sure of is that those so-called artificially bred ducks are definitely not simple ducks. After all, seven or eight rules have been written all about this issue. As the saying goes, there is no silver 300 taels here, but it is not impossible.
The slender hiragana characters on the page gave Li Ming a strange illusion. Although he felt physically and mentally unwell, he still chose to continue reading, after all, it was related to his safety.
"Seventeen, if nothing happens, please refer to the time on the mobile phone carried by the students themselves, leave the classroom on time, remember to manually turn off the lights in the classroom before leaving, and don't hold the attitude of "the lights will be turned off automatically anyway" , please be sure to manually turn off the lights in the classroom.”
"Eighteen, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please take the The time on the phone prevails.”
Seeing this, Li Ming narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction of the classroom wall.
Counting secretly in his heart, he found that there are six clocks in this classroom, and the time is different, and the styles are also different. They are ordinary mechanical clocks, double-calendar mechanical clocks, mechanical pendulum clocks, and analog quartz electronic watches. , display quartz electronic watch, and there is a small sundial on the balcony outside the window.
No, not six.
Li Ming quickly walked towards the podium, and after seeing the foreign objects exposed in his sight, he confirmed the conclusion——
There are a total of seven clocks that tell the time throughout the classroom.
In addition to the ones hanging on the wall and on the windowsill, there is also an electronic watch on the podium.
What is even more incomprehensible is that their time is different, the hour hand and the minute hand point to different numbers, but the second hand still moves slowly and orderly, and the second hands of the seven clocks are all in the same position, and the speed is also the same. exactly the same.
Li Ming scratched the hair on the back of his head in a daze, his face was a little ugly, he clearly remembered that when he entered the classroom with Bai Mu and others, he didn't see these clocks.
what is the problem?
Continue to look at the white paper, the hiragana on it is slender and creepy, like a sharp knife carving strange words on people's hearts, and then using the tip of the knife that still has the warmth of the human body to provoke the scars, it makes people tremble .
"Nineteen, please do not refer to the time of the clock hanging in the classroom. If there is a misidentification incident, please be sure to leave the teaching building immediately when you realize that the problem has occurred."
"Twenty, if you hear the moving sound of the pointer and the swinging sound of the pendulum gradually increasing in volume, don't panic or shout, please lie down on the table and fall asleep quickly, he (crossed out) won't come Disturbing people who are sleeping."
"21, there are no No.20 and No.20 in this classroom rule."
"23, if you have violated some of the above rules, please immediately put on a mask and go to the infirmary at the bottom of the teaching building, where the school doctor will solve all your problems."
"Finally, I wish you to study efficiently in this classroom, and look forward to your progress and academic success."
The rules came to an end here, Li Ming squinted his eyes, his expression was a bit complicated, there was always an indescribable weirdness in the whole rules.
wait, time...
Li Ming took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the time on it showed 55:[-]pm.
So according to the rules, all the curtains should be drawn now, and then all the lights should be turned on except the podium headlights.
To be reasonable, Li Ming is not willing to abide by these rules, it is simply because the environment he is in now is unknown, before he finds the problem, he should follow the rules first.
After abiding by the rules, when Li Ming was about to continue looking for more clues, there was a strange and rhythmic knock on the window outside the left window, followed by a "squeak".
(End of this chapter)
"That's the best, what about Kurosawa-san?"
Shiraki took a bunch of keys from Takagi Motoji, pinned them on his waist, and asked calmly. At the same time, the sharp eyes shot out of his eyes made Takagi, a fat middle-aged man, startled.
"The problem is here..."
Takagi's face showed embarrassment, he hesitated to speak, and stretched out his hands from behind his back. Everyone saw him holding a somewhat old file bag.
The file bag is very flat, but it is also abnormally flat. It looks like it has been sealed for a long time under some heavy object, and generally speaking, it has not been taken out for a long time.
Let's put it this way... The disappearance of Kurosawa Watermelon is indeed closely related to Ridge University's predecessor, Shangying University. The attitude of the workers towards this missing case is extremely perfunctory.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and it was not because of Kurosawa Mika. In fact, the longer it is sealed, the more difficult it is to complete the case entrusted by Kurosawa Mika. This is not purely for him. Bringing trouble at work?
Kurosawa Mika also realized this, her eyes were filled with coldness when she looked at Takagi Motoji.
But... wait.
The expression on Li Ming's face became a little puzzled. When Kurosawa Mika entrusted him with the case, it was mentioned that Kurosawa Watermelon disappeared when the school was called Ridge University, and the one who was killed by Ms. Sakurai and Police Officer Shiraki The disappearance case that was traced clearly happened when it was still called Shangying University.
Even if the two have an extremely close relationship, the timelines don't match up, why?
Soon Li Ming regained his composure, and he realized that what he was thinking was just a brainstorm before seeing the file bag, and the truth of the real incident should be in the file bag.
So now we only need to wait for Takagi to take out the documents in the document bag, and tell everyone about the doubts above. It still requires a lot of patience to investigate the case.
"what happened?"
Bai Mu didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the people behind her, and asked in a calm tone, but she didn't reach out to pick up the document bag, as if she was wary of something.
"The problem is here. I went back to the file room and searched for the admission files of Kurosawa Watermelon, and then I found a big doubt..."
Takagi Motoji slowly untied the rope of the document bag, took out a stack of thick white papers, and handed the top one to Shiraki, feeling even more embarrassed.
"The year of Kurosawa Ximelon's enrollment was four years ago, and I remember clearly that the time she disappeared was two years ago, and in my impression, Kurosawa-san asked for leave due to illness, and she submitted it to the instructor It is written on the medical record notice that it is an extremely rare disease, but I am sorry that I can't remember the specifics..."
Takagi hesitated to speak, he hesitated to talk about his discovery, the second half of the sentence made Mika Kurosawa who was about to ask her swallow the words, and continued to wait and see the situation.
"Because this disease is so rare, it is impossible for such an ancient and rare disease to appear in the current social development, so our school is very impressed by this incident. For the sake of school safety, we approved the case of Xigua student. Ask for leave."
"And the disappearance happened just like that. After a few days, there was no news from Xigua, as if the world had disappeared. Out of care and care for the students, the instructor specially contacted you, the Kurosawa chaebol. Both parties After the connection, it was discovered that classmate Xigua had been missing for a few days."
Kurosawa licked his dry and cracked lips, his face was a little ugly, and his naturally hanging hands were clenched tightly subconsciously.
Hoshino Katsura, who hadn't been much involved in chatting, noticed Kurosawa's appearance, and gently took Jiang Wenkan's hand, and while holding Kurosawa's arm, he stroked her back to comfort her tense emotions.
Li Ming also noticed the appearance of the girl beside him, his complexion changed slightly, he continued to hold the black umbrella to maintain the image and posture just now, thinking about how to investigate this tricky case next in his mind.
"Then what's the problem?" Shiraki folded his hands and tapped his elbows impatiently, "Did you talk nonsense for a long time just to remind Ms. Kurosawa Mika of those bad memories? Can you tell me the main point? ?”
"Officer Baimu, please don't worry, you are investigating the disappearance case of Shangying University, can you remember when the collective disappearance case happened?" Takagi promised.
"Two years ago today, what happened?"
After Bai Mu finished speaking, she was about to continue to reprimand Takagi's nonsense literature, but she suddenly realized that her expression became even uglier, and she subconsciously groped for the protruding foreign object on her waist.
"You mean... Miss Kurosawa Watermelon is also a victim of that mass disappearance?"
"impossible!"
Kurosawa Mika was the first to veto it, and her tense emotions broke out completely at this moment, and her voice became high, which attracted some students not far away to look here.
"I remember very clearly what you said. When the director called to inform my father, he asked for leave because of illness. Before he disappeared, he also called me and said that he went to the hospital to see a doctor. It's just, just... I At that time, because I was busy with the media affairs of the chaebol, I didn’t go to accompany him much, which led to such an ending.”
"Wait, wait, let's talk about it first. I still haven't understood what you are saying." Jiang Wenkan held his chin and mused, "What is the reason for the disappearance of Miss Kurosawa Watermelon?"
"Principal Takagi and Kurosawa both asked for leave and went to the hospital because of extremely rare illnesses in their memory." Li Ming answered, leaning the black umbrella in his hand on his shoulder with a serious expression, "Then we must obey the majority Based on the principle, let’s assume for the time being that what the two of you said is the truth.”
"And when was the disappearance?" Jiang Wenkan quickly entered the state of the two communicating and discussing together before, using the most common question and answer to summarize the case.
"Principal Takagi said two years ago." Li Ming said thoughtfully, "But I clearly remember that when Ms. Kurosawa entrusted me, she said that she ran away from home three or four years ago..." Speaking While here, Li Ming glanced at the bewildered Heize, "Do you need me to repeat the original words?"
Li Ming took out a recording pen from his coat pocket, and after proper adjustments, he pressed the button.
"It's like this. My sister Kurosawa Sika ran away from home three or four years ago. I thought she would be able to return home in a few months, because she had done this kind of thing before. We went home after all our savings, so we didn’t find her back in time.”
"But this time is different. This time she ran away from home for three or four years. It was only in the second year after Xigua left home that we realized something was wrong, and we immediately used the power of the chaebol and the gang of criminal police who claimed to be Strong search capabilities, but all came to nothing.”
"Now the real question is here, why did your rhetoric change after a few hours, Kurosawa?"
Li Ming had a playful look on his face, and looked at the cheongsam girl beside him, even though he really didn't believe that Kurosawa would use such a method to play tricks on him, but the fact is so, the two reasons are completely different, and there is really no way for people to ignore it.
"Strange...Did I say that? Why..." Kurosawa Mika was in a trance after hearing the recording, "Why do I have no impression?"
"No impression? Strange."
Li Ming glanced at Takagi who was staring at them, and said to himself, he had a strange premonition that the reason why Kurosawa changed his words after a few hours might have something to do with Takagi, or the entire Ridge University.
After all, such a wonderful disease as White Night Syndrome has appeared in this world, and such strange reasons cannot be ruled out.
"Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's continue to the next session." Li Ming interrupted Jiang Wenkan who wanted to continue asking, and looked at Takagi who was waiting for work, "Principal Takagi, I can take a look at your hand. Organized data files?"
"This... is not good, this is an important file that has been sealed for a long time in the archives of Lizhi University. If it is shown to outsiders, it is against the rules." Takagi hesitated to speak.
"Where does all this nonsense come from?"
Shiraki stretched out his hand in his pocket, and snatched a stack of thick white paper from his hand.
"There are no outsiders, didn't I tell you? They are all assistants I brought to investigate the case, you must treat them as you would treat me, understand?" Bai Mu handed the white paper to Li Ming.
"And President Takagi, you don't want the school you run to continue to be under the shadow of a major accident, do you? Provide us with enough help, and we can quickly solve the case, and then restore Ridge University to its former glory."
Hearing this sentence, Li Ming couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly restrained his smile, fortunately no one noticed his disrespectful behavior.
This is the first time I've heard of Japanese police and private detectives cooperating. Isn't Police Officer Shiraki Rinne afraid of losing face as a Japanese fine imitation?
However, these words can only be buried in the heart and cannot be said out loud. This is the most basic respect for Li Ming. Even if the other party is really a well-known waste bucket, basic respect between people is still needed.
After receiving the stack of white papers, Li Ming had a familiar yet strange feeling at that moment, like the illusion that an electric current passes through the whole body instantly and then passes through the brain.
As soon as this feeling came out, Li Ming looked around subconsciously, wanting to see if anyone around saw him.
And at this time, Li Ming noticed that the same situation as himself had appeared in the Kuisawa beside him. Compared with his own electric current passing through his whole body, Kuisawa's was more like shivering.
The sudden illusion made Li Ming a little overwhelmed, but then he focused more on the stack of white paper in his hand——
"The secret must be buried in it."
"Student Kurosawa Xigua, enrolled in January [-], majoring in "Chinese Language and Chinese Culture", oh..." Li Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and continued to read, "Major According to the incident record book, Kurosawa Xigua asked for leave to go home on January [-], [-] due to physical illness, and the leave time was one week. "
"The leave note is on the back of this file." Takagi interrupted abruptly.
"You guys are quite thoughtful." Li Ming nodded in agreement, then handed a small note pasted on the back to the cheongsam girl next to her, "Kisawa, do you see that it's your sister's handwriting?" ?”
"Yes……"
Looking at things and thinking about feelings, Kurosawa couldn't stop the tears after seeing this piece of paper, gushing across his cheeks.
"Ah, very good."
Li Ming turned the page over and continued to ponder the words on it: "During the one-week leave, the instructor contacted him many times and responded, but on the eighth day, Kurosawa Shuigua did not return to school as scheduled, and the instructor It was only after the officials contacted his parents that the situation had escalated. For the sake of school atmosphere, the school did not continue to follow up and deal with it..."
"Hey, you guys are really thinking about the overall situation." Bai Mu mocked sarcastically.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We've already notified the police...how could I have imagined that the police have been here for so long...ahem..." Gao Mu quickly realized that Bai Mu in front of him belonged to the identity group he mentioned One member immediately shut up and coughed softly to cover up his embarrassment.
"What is recorded on the white paper at the back?" Li Ming handed Kurosawa Mika the admission file of Kurosawa Ximelon that he had read, tapped the surface of the paper with two fingers, made a clattering sound, and looked at Principal Takagi Motoji.
"That, that is a detailed description of the major disappearance case two years ago." Takagi quickly explained, "Our copy is a copy of the file of the Metropolitan Police Department's archives, and it is used as a record of the sealed incident file."
"That's it."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, then folded the white paper in his hand into a small cube and put it in his coat pocket.
"Since it's a copy of the dossier, I'll take it first. President Takagi shouldn't mind, right?"
"This, this... is against the rules, isn't it?"
The speed of the incident was really too fast. Principal Takagi watched as Li Ming put the important documents into his pocket, but he couldn't stop him immediately because of identity issues. Bad image is bad.
"Mr. Li Ming?"
Bai Mu also looked puzzled, she tilted her head tentatively and asked.
"As I said, I'm also a professional who investigates cases. This thing is just a copy. If your school wants to get it back, you can ask the Metropolitan Police Department for a copy, right?"
Holding the black umbrella, Li Ming took a step back, his sudden performance made everyone present at a loss.
"Principal Takagi, you also know that if this kind of case cannot be resolved smoothly, it will affect your university's admission rate and enrollment rate, so solving the case as much as possible is now the only way out and the only route. What's out of order?"
"It's true to say so, but... Officer Shiraki is here... This kind of thing should be handed over to Officer Shiraki." Takagi seemed a little shaken.
"Don't you understand? You just said it yourself. This thing was copied from the file of the Metropolitan Police Department. Officer Baimu already has this record in his hand. Wouldn't it be superfluous for you to give it to her?" Li Ming pursed his lips and laughed, "Could it be that you want to give these blank papers to her to make draft papers? I don't think our police officer Baimu is not so poor."
"Okay, this kind of thing will be handed over to you."
Bai Mu's face turned pale, she sighed and compromised helplessly.
"But you have to remember that this kind of thing cannot be spread outside, cannot cause great panic to the society, cannot affect social order and security, etc. If you can abide by the above agreement, I will turn a blind eye this time. One eye."
"That's natural. I'm still very clear about this kind of thing. After all, it's my professional accomplishment." Li Ming revealed a playful smile, hummed softly, and then changed the topic.
"Then Principal Takagi, if there is nothing else, please leave first. After we investigate the clues of the incident, we will naturally leave silently. It will not affect the study and exams of the students in the school. You can rest assured .”
"Ah..." Takagi was a little at a loss, he stared at Shiraki in fear, and left angrily after seeing the girl nodding.
"Can you tell me what you found now? You are so anxious to let Takagi leave. With my friendship with you for more than 20 years, you must have discovered something, right?" Jiang Wenkan watched the fat man leave, suddenly Laughing out loud, asked softly.
"What did you find?"
Facing the questioning between the two, Bai Mu seemed a little at a loss. From her point of view, Li Ming has always been a person with an eccentric temper.
So she could only choose to compromise with what happened just now, instead of taking immediate action to prohibit him from doing so.
"Ah? Can you stop being a fool, and just say what you have to say, without typing those code words that only the two of you know." Hoshino Katsura said angrily with the same expression and tone.
"It's not a very secret discovery. Ever since I saw this dossier, I've noticed something is wrong." Li Ming rubbed his hands, but didn't take out the white paper that had just been folded into small squares, "I I remember that you said before that today is the day when all the members of Shangying University went missing."
"That's right. Two years ago today, all members of Shangying University disappeared overnight, including the school sweepers, cleaners, cooks, security guards, and a series of other personnel, all disappeared, as if the world had evaporated , There are still half-eaten ramen in the restaurant of the cafeteria on campus."
Bai Mu folded his hands and nodded thoughtfully.
"Then what new discovery does this have? Listen, I have heard about Mr. Li Ming from Mr. Yuan Qingyu long ago. As a private detective temporarily residing in Japan, you only rely on your contacts With super reasoning ability, it took less than three years to gain a foothold in Japan."
"Don't be so exaggerated, I'm still just a little detective who accepts the disappearance of cats and dogs, and catches rape. I can't compare to you, Officer Baimu." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and responded complimentingly.
"That's a relatively good achievement. As far as I know, it takes at least five or six years for foreigners who can gain a foothold in Japan to fully adapt to the situation here..." Bai Mu paused, looked at Jiang Wenkan, "And you, Mr. Jiang, you are also hiding your secrets. Although you have been working in a gray area, your investigative ability is even inferior to me."
"Don't blame us, we are just a little detective and his little partner." Jiang Wenkan chuckled, raised his right hand fingers, and brought them closer to his mouth.
"If I remember correctly, today is January 19, 2021. If we push the time back two years, it will be January 1, 19, which is the day when all missing cases show no signs. happened."
"Don't talk nonsense, get straight to the point." Bai Mu clasped his hands and hummed.
"This is not nonsense, this is one of the key points I found out." Li Ming stretched out his right index finger and waved, "And just now in the file records of Heizei Watermelon, the time of leave for Watermelon is in 12 January NO.[-] of the year."
Li Ming paused when he said this, as if he was waiting for everyone's reaction.
Jiang Wenkan quickly realized something, and yelled out his discovery in a high-pitched voice.
"I see. After Xigua's leave is over, she is supposed to return to school on January 19, 19. On that day, all the staff disappeared. When Xigua was contacted by her supervisor during the previous holidays, there was response, then it is certain that she disappeared on the day of NO.[-]."
"That's right, but this situation still has to be based on the premise that this file is true." Li Ming glanced at Bai Mu.
"The dossier is absolutely true. I can use my police rank as a guarantee. This is definitely a historical fact." Bai Mu reacted and responded quickly.
"Since Officer Baimu has said this, we can only believe it for the time being." Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then the next question is about Miss Kurosawa's memory deviation, my voice recorder definitely did not show up. Fake situation, but why came here a few hours later, and there was a serious difference in the memory of Miss Kurosawa?"
"It's harmless, the end result is that Kurosawa watermelon is missing, we just need to find the missing watermelon." Hoshino Katsura was puzzled, "Oh yes, of course there are those missing students and the sweeping auntie cleaning guards and so on. "
"This is not the case, it is precisely this that makes people unable to understand. If Miss Kurosawa's two memories are basically the same, but there are deviations in some small details, then I can completely ignore it, but... just There is even a problem with the time, which makes people have to suspect that there must be some secret hidden in this ghostly place."
"So you mean that there are secrets hidden behind Lizhi University?" Bai Mu was thoughtful.
"Otherwise, how can we explain our Miss Kurosawa's memory problem? Miss Kurosawa is not the kind of stupid or a goldfish with a seven-second memory. After all, she is the heir of the Kurosawa chaebol, and she will never make such a mistake. A low-level mistake." Li Ming took a deep breath, "The Kurosawa chaebol will not hand over the identity of the heir to a fool."
"What do you mean?" Kurosawa said angrily, "Are you calling me a fool?"
"Everyone, watch out, I didn't say anything just now, Miss Kurosawa came up and took the seat by herself, and it has nothing to do with me." Li Ming clamped the black umbrella with his shoulders, raised his hands high, jokingly smiling.
"Okay, don't talk about these irrelevant topics now. Since Mr. Li Ming has found the key point of the problem, and now we have the keys of those missing classes, it is the most correct choice to investigate quickly, right?" Shiraki interrupted the "flirting" between the two and made a lubricant.
"That's right. Officer Shiraki is right. Since we have the key with us, we should hurry up and investigate." Li Ming nodded vigorously, "If there is a problem with this school, Principal Takagi should be involved, so I will I'm afraid that he will destroy some important clues, so let's investigate as soon as possible."
Several people looked at each other and agreed to Li Ming and Bai Mu's proposal. After searching the map, they went straight to the missing class.
And not far away, a student looked here, his face was full of bewilderment, and then disappeared. Passers-by students wantonly passed through the position of the student just now, without any expression on their faces. Mood swings, as if just walking through a thick fog.
……
When I came to the designated classroom, the number plate hanging on the door revealed that this was Group A of the junior year.
"The third-grade classroom... This point also echoes that of Kurosawa Watermelon. She entered school in [-] and disappeared in [-]. Calculated at the beginning of her junior year. .” Li Ming stood in front of the door thoughtfully.
"Don't hang around the door like no one else. Since we have the designated search power for the classroom, we should hurry up and investigate and find some tricky clues."
After hearing the voice, Li Ming turned his head to look, and the white-eyed police officer in front of him had already put on disposable medical gloves, a disposable mask, plus a white coat, she looked more like a doctor than a policeman.
But thinking of the information Katsura Hoshino found on the search engine before, "he has dabbled in various fields", it is quite normal to think of it this way.
Thinking of this, Li Ming closed the black umbrella, stood by the door, and began to observe all the furnishings in the classroom.
Like the classrooms in his impression, they are all composed of podiums, blackboards, tables and chairs. Unlike the classrooms in his hometown, Japanese classrooms also have side lockers.
After looking around for a while, Li Ming gently closed the wooden door behind him. This is his instinct. When investigating cases, he always likes to look for clues in the corners. There are often missing clues in the corner behind the door. .
When catching the adulterer before, although the room was cleaned very clean, Li Ming still found a dry paper towel in the corner with bristly and messy black hair stuck to it, and this confirmed the fact that the client's wife had committed adultery with someone else.
To be fair, that was a really bad experience.
Li Ming shook his head, desperately trying to let bad memories out of his mind, but just this shaking of his head, he felt as if he had hallucinations, and unexpectedly saw a blank piece of paper full of strange words on the back of the door, and it was mixed with With dark red.
Looking closely, the words on the white paper are not ordinary Japanese characters, but Hiragana, those creepy characters written in long and thin fonts, coupled with the dark red tone and black intertwined, it is even more terrifying.
After stretching out his hand to touch the white paper, making the four corners pasted on the back of the door evener, Li Ming tried to identify and read it.
At this moment, Li Ming felt that the colors around him began to become darker, as if a page of paper was ignited by flames, slowly eating away at a corner of the page.
Li Ming turned his head to look in some horror. The people who were behind him had disappeared. Even the sky outside the window had changed from blue sky to dark gray cloudy sky. The clock hanging on the wall showed the current time and time. date--
January [-], [-].
what happened……
Back to two years ago, the day when all the members disappeared?
So... have the white dreams started again?
Then the medium should be the blank paper in front of you...
Li Ming tried desperately to wake himself up, he rubbed his temples, tore off the white paper that had been pasted behind the door, and then the lights in the classroom read the words on it.
"Shangying University Classroom Rules"
"Hello, no matter what purpose you temporarily borrowed this classroom, please be sure to abide by the following rules, these rules will allow you to better spend your time in this classroom."
"One, it's best not to borrow this classroom after ten o'clock in the evening. If you must use it, please turn on all the lights and close the curtains during use to ensure that people outside can't see you in the classroom do what."
"Second, there are a total of five switches for the lights in the classroom, which are used for the front lights of the podium, the lights of the front classroom, the lights of the back classroom, the lights of the front door of the classroom, and the lights of the rear door of the classroom."
"Three, please do not turn on the front lights of the podium, the front door lights, and the back door lights before ten o'clock in the evening; after ten o'clock, be sure to turn on all the lights, except the front lights of the podium. If the classroom is still very dark after pressing the switch, please immediately Exit the classroom."
"Four, if you accidentally turn on the headlights of the podium after ten o'clock, please leave the classroom immediately, do not try to turn off the lights that are already on, please leave the classroom immediately, please leave the classroom immediately."
"Five, if you press the wrong switch when turning on the lights, please leave the classroom immediately, stand in the corridor for 1 minute, wait for the lights in the classroom to automatically turn off and enter the classroom again, and then use it again, but please be careful not to press the switch twice in a row."
"Six, if the lights in the classroom do not turn off automatically after standing for 1 minute, please leave the teaching building immediately; if you witness the lights turning off automatically and enter the classroom again after standing for 1 minute, please leave the classroom immediately and leave the teaching building immediately .”
Are these rules?
Something always feels wrong.
Li Ming struggled to recognize the hiragana on it, and a strange feeling of coldness emerged spontaneously.
It seemed that he had returned to the experience of the previous radio show, and this unknown fear once again enveloped his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down for a long time.
"Seventh, if you borrow the classroom after ten o'clock, please be sure to leave before twelve o'clock, because the closing time of the dormitory is twelve o'clock. If there are important tasks to be completed, please move to the 24-hour study room in the library."
"Eight, during self-study in the classroom, please close the curtains. If you find any small food such as peanuts, soybeans, and rice on the windowsill, don't touch it. The former owners of the classroom did not carry these items."
"Nine, if you fail to abide by the eighth rule, please leave the classroom immediately and leave this teaching building immediately."
"Ten, in the process of studying, small animals in the school may visit you. In order to ensure the balance of the ecological environment, many animals are raised in the school, and there is a duck farm near the teaching building. If you hear someone beating Your window squeaks, please don’t open the curtains to look out, this is a mischievous prank by the artificially bred ducks in the school.”
"Eleven, if you find strange hairs and rodent teeth on the window sill when you open the curtains, please don't worry, these are ducks raised in the school, and they will leave traces at any time to show their status in the school. "
"Twelfth, in the process of studying in the classroom, there may be teachers who come to pick up the forgotten teaching aids. At this time, please do your own thing seriously. Please don't stare at the visitor for a long time, even if he looks at you in front of you, Please don't communicate with him, don't respond to him no matter what he says, he will leave by himself before long."
"Thirteen, don't lock the door of the classroom while studying because of the last one, don't lock the door of the classroom while studying because of the last one, don't lock the door of the classroom at any time."
"Fourteen, after eleven o'clock, people from the executive office will come to inspect the classroom. People in the school's executive office have uniform black uniforms. If you see them, you can explain your situation. If there are people in other costumes entering the classroom, please go to the classroom. Leave this classroom as soon as possible while the other party is checking, and don't look back no matter what happens."
"Fifteen, if knocking and squeaks outside the window continue to sound while studying in the classroom, please turn on the front and rear door lights immediately, the school's breeding ducks will be intimidated by the lights and driven to other places, and they will soon Get out of here, please rest assured."
"Sixteen, if the sound outside the window does not disappear after turning on the front door light and the rear door light, please leave the classroom immediately, please leave this teaching building immediately."
It can be seen that these rules seem to be hiding something, and they all revolve around the sound of knocking on windows and squeaks. The owner of the sound stated in the rules is the artificially bred ducks in the school.
Li Ming looked out of the window subconsciously, although he could see the breeding farm hidden in the misty darkness, he couldn't see the stretched necks of those so-called "ducks".
The black shadows are moving like dark clouds, which is depressing.
What Li Ming can be sure of is that those so-called artificially bred ducks are definitely not simple ducks. After all, seven or eight rules have been written all about this issue. As the saying goes, there is no silver 300 taels here, but it is not impossible.
The slender hiragana characters on the page gave Li Ming a strange illusion. Although he felt physically and mentally unwell, he still chose to continue reading, after all, it was related to his safety.
"Seventeen, if nothing happens, please refer to the time on the mobile phone carried by the students themselves, leave the classroom on time, remember to manually turn off the lights in the classroom before leaving, and don't hold the attitude of "the lights will be turned off automatically anyway" , please be sure to manually turn off the lights in the classroom.”
"Eighteen, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please do not refer to any clocks hanging on the wall in the classroom, please take the The time on the phone prevails.”
Seeing this, Li Ming narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the direction of the classroom wall.
Counting secretly in his heart, he found that there are six clocks in this classroom, and the time is different, and the styles are also different. They are ordinary mechanical clocks, double-calendar mechanical clocks, mechanical pendulum clocks, and analog quartz electronic watches. , display quartz electronic watch, and there is a small sundial on the balcony outside the window.
No, not six.
Li Ming quickly walked towards the podium, and after seeing the foreign objects exposed in his sight, he confirmed the conclusion——
There are a total of seven clocks that tell the time throughout the classroom.
In addition to the ones hanging on the wall and on the windowsill, there is also an electronic watch on the podium.
What is even more incomprehensible is that their time is different, the hour hand and the minute hand point to different numbers, but the second hand still moves slowly and orderly, and the second hands of the seven clocks are all in the same position, and the speed is also the same. exactly the same.
Li Ming scratched the hair on the back of his head in a daze, his face was a little ugly, he clearly remembered that when he entered the classroom with Bai Mu and others, he didn't see these clocks.
what is the problem?
Continue to look at the white paper, the hiragana on it is slender and creepy, like a sharp knife carving strange words on people's hearts, and then using the tip of the knife that still has the warmth of the human body to provoke the scars, it makes people tremble .
"Nineteen, please do not refer to the time of the clock hanging in the classroom. If there is a misidentification incident, please be sure to leave the teaching building immediately when you realize that the problem has occurred."
"Twenty, if you hear the moving sound of the pointer and the swinging sound of the pendulum gradually increasing in volume, don't panic or shout, please lie down on the table and fall asleep quickly, he (crossed out) won't come Disturbing people who are sleeping."
"21, there are no No.20 and No.20 in this classroom rule."
"23, if you have violated some of the above rules, please immediately put on a mask and go to the infirmary at the bottom of the teaching building, where the school doctor will solve all your problems."
"Finally, I wish you to study efficiently in this classroom, and look forward to your progress and academic success."
The rules came to an end here, Li Ming squinted his eyes, his expression was a bit complicated, there was always an indescribable weirdness in the whole rules.
wait, time...
Li Ming took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and the time on it showed 55:[-]pm.
So according to the rules, all the curtains should be drawn now, and then all the lights should be turned on except the podium headlights.
To be reasonable, Li Ming is not willing to abide by these rules, it is simply because the environment he is in now is unknown, before he finds the problem, he should follow the rules first.
After abiding by the rules, when Li Ming was about to continue looking for more clues, there was a strange and rhythmic knock on the window outside the left window, followed by a "squeak".
