Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1735 In the Deadly Game 22

As expected, Jiang Xinxin failed to find Mengmeng. She only found Mengmeng's backpack in a corridor. There were biscuit crumbs at the bottom of the opened bottle of water in the backpack. This was direct evidence that Jiang Yingrui had harmed Mengmeng.

When she saw Ruan Lanzhu, Ling Jiushi, and Tan Zaozao, Jiang Xinxin handed Mengmeng's backpack to them with a somewhat sad look on her face. "I was a step slow to react. Judging from the biscuit crumbs in the water bottle, Mengmeng was killed yesterday..."

Ruan Lanzhu immediately comforted her, "This isn't what you want to see. Mengmeng is indeed innocent. Jiang Yingrui is the most despicable person. All you can do is bring Jiang Yingrui to justice."

Ling Jiushi reminded everyone, "We don't have much time, so let's go to the sixth floor first."

Tan Zaozao also agreed. Jiang Xinxin didn't say anything, but just followed everyone to search the sixth floor.

The only noteworthy thing on the sixth floor is the director's office. It looks much cleaner than the office in 502. There are many photos hanging on the wall behind the desk. They seem to be the management and directors of this sanatorium. However, there is an empty photo frame in the middle.

Tan Zaozao picked up a photo frame from the desk and guessed, "This should be the dean's photo. Why isn't it hanging on the wall?"

As she spoke, Tan Zaozao reached out to take the empty photo frame. As soon as she took the empty frame down, the eyes of all the people in the photos began to move. Jiang Xinxin quickly hung the empty frame back, and all the photos returned to their original state.

Tan Zaozao and Ling Jiushi were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. Tan Zaozao even cried out in fear, "This is too horrible! I originally thought that if I put the dean's photo up there, maybe I could get some clues. Who knew something so horrible would happen!"

Jiang Xinxin patted Tan Zaozao's shoulder and comforted her, "Your action doesn't mean we haven't gotten any clues. At least I can guess that this dean seems to be averse to others knowing his appearance."

Turning around, everyone found the employee files in the drawer. The nurse from Room 502 who had jumped from the building was among them. Ling Jiushi took a look and said, "It seems that the nurse from Room 502 always had good professional qualities, whether in school or in the sanatorium."

Ruan Lanzhu found a new Russian nesting doll in the drawer, as well as a letter from a nurse in Room 502 asking for a reconciliation with the dean.

Jiang Xinxin just took a glance and couldn't help but snorted, "Good fellow, this dean is really the father of the baby in the nurse's belly!"

Tan Zaozao couldn't help but speculate: "So, maybe we can find the dean and exchange the key to the door from the nurse?"

Ling Jiushi noticed the second Russian nesting doll. "But what does this Russian nesting doll mean? This is the second one we found. Could it have some connection to the dean?"

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but speculate, "Before, Xu Jin disguised himself as a visitor to hide his tracks. So, could this dean be doing the same as Xu Jin, hiding among the players or patients to avoid the nurses' detection?"

Ruan Lanzhu suggested, "Why don't we go to the morgue?"

The morgue was in the basement, and the temperature was much lower than upstairs. Tan Zaozao felt uneasy, and when she went downstairs, she unconsciously hid behind Jiang Xinxin, and Jiang Xinxin let her do it.

The morgue was naturally full of corpses. Some were placed directly on the shelves, some were put in body bags, and some were frozen.

Tan Zaozao took a look and decided to guard the door for everyone. After Jiang Xinxin came in, she started looking for Mengmeng's body, but she couldn't find it after searching through the shelves on the entire wall. So she gave up and waited for news from Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi.

At this time, Tan Zaozao let out a short and sharp cry. Jiang Xinxin hurried out to see, and it was Jiang Yingrui again. He was about to attack Tan Zaozao!

It was obvious that Jiang Yingrui had taken the initiative to attack Tan Zaozao. This time, Jiang Xinxin unceremoniously twisted Jiang Yingrui's other hand and broke it. "You are truly hopeless!"

Jiang Yingrui said with a look of resentment: "Mr. Jiang, you'd better not give me any chance!"

"I will make sure you die in a very ugly way!"

Just because Jiang Xinxin was cautious and would not kill anyone easily, Jiang Yingrui dared to speak harshly and reveal his full of resentment and malice.

After Jiang Yingrui left, everyone looked solemn. Ling Jiushi directly suggested, "Miss Jiang, from now on, you must never be alone."

Although Jiang Xinxin didn't need it, she also appreciated Ling Jiushi's kindness. Ruan Lanzhu changed the subject by talking about the morgue. "These bodies don't look like they've been there for very long, which means they must have been moved out and disposed of at some point. I've already marked them. If we don't find any marks tomorrow, or if there are fewer, it means they must have disposed of the bodies at night. This way, we might have a chance to act at night."

Jiang Xinxin gave Ruan Lanzhu a thumbs-up: "I just thought of memorizing the characteristics of the corpses I saw, but I didn't think of marking them."

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Ruan Lanzhu said modestly, "I'm not as good as Miss Jiang in memory. My memory is so poor that I can only think of this stupid method of making marks."

Ling Jiushi and Tan Zaozao both looked upset: "You two are almost done. What are we supposed to do when we haven't thought of anything?"

At eight o'clock in the evening, Ruan Lanzhu pinched some rice grains in advance and pasted the doorplate of 502 behind the doorplates of Jiang Yingrui and his companions. After a while, the sound of a nurse chasing someone was heard, and soon there was a sound of hurried footsteps fleeing in the corridor, followed by a wailing sound, and then there was a sound of falling from a building.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xinxin went out to check the situation. It turned out that a strong man was dead in Jiang Yingrui's room, and the person who fell down the stairs was Jiang Yingrui's companion.

Jiang Xinxin guessed that Jiang Yingrui couldn't possibly escape the nurse's pursuit, but Jiang Yingrui unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone, yawning. Seeing Jiang Xinxin's face full of suspicion and solemnity, "Jiang Yingrui" explained, "Xiaoyun and I had a little argument last night, so I changed rooms..."

Everyone exchanged glances and followed Jiang Yingrui to the cafeteria.

During breakfast, Ruan Lanzhu took the initiative to explain the rules of the door gods' killing: "Anyone the door gods want to kill must have violated a taboo. If someone manages to escape for a while, there is no possibility of escape unless they kill the door gods in return."

"Jiang Yingrui" who was not far away heard Ruan Lanzhu's words, and hurriedly threw down his chopsticks and ran away.

Seeing this, Tan Zaozao leaned forward and lowered her voice to speculate, "Could it be that this 'Jiang Yingrui' we met was possessed by the dean last night?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded. "It seems that's correct. If we can find that Russian nesting doll on 'Jiang Yingrui', we can be completely sure."
