Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 282 The Disappearance of Zhou Ziyin

Zhou Ziyin did not return to the dormitory, and the entire 403 room was empty.

Where have all the people gone?

Lu He and Xia Lan stood at the door of room 403, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Should we check on Su Qing's whereabouts?" Xia Lan believed that the next step was to find Su Qing. Guo Qi had already brought Zhou Boming down on this case.

"In three more days, everything for the banquet will be arranged... In these three days, we still need to find Zhao Mingna." The system wouldn't give clues for no reason, and Lu He was certain that Zhao Mingna must be useful.

Xia Lan disagreed: "A lowly soldier like Zhao Mingna might not even know that Zhou Boming is above her."

Lu He nodded: "You're right. I didn't expect Zhao Mingna to bring any more clues related to Zhou Boming, so I don't understand the point of hiding her identity in the early stages of this case investigation..."

This reminded Xia Lan that Zhao Mingna had also been hidden as a key figure in the entire 404 incident.

This is indeed very strange. If they could just see Su Qing's diary, it would be enough to pinpoint Guo Qi, and then Guo Qi could find out Zhou Boming's connection to this matter.

So what is the significance of Zhao Mingna?

“Okay, let’s split up. I’ll go find Zhao Mingna, and you go find Su Qing…” Xia Lan agreed with Lu He’s idea and proposed the division of labor.

With the banquet preparations to attend to, Lu He was indeed too busy to do much else, so she readily accepted Xia Lan's suggestion.

“Then I’ll stay in 404 tonight and wait for Zhou Ziyin to come back. Do you want to go back and rest? You’ll be more comfortable.” Lu He was actually a little sorry for Xia Lan running around like this.

The living environment in this dormitory is definitely not as comfortable as home.

Xia Lan thought for a moment, seemingly having other plans, so she nodded: "Then I'll go back first tonight, I still have some things to prepare."

Lu He affectionately stroked Xia Lan's hair, gently tucking it behind her ear, his eyes filled with concern. He leaned closer to Xia Lan and softly kissed her forehead: "Go on~"

Xia Lan left the school dormitory, but instead of heading home, she went straight towards Shen Tong's apartment.

Shen Tong was dragging a large hiking backpack out of the house, looking like she was about to go out.

"Oh, what brings you here?" She was a little surprised to see Xia Lan come to find her. "What, are you worried about me? Afraid that I took Guo Qi to try and take credit for myself?"

I saw him at the entrance of the tutoring school just over an hour ago.

"I don't care whether Guo Qi lives or dies. I came to you to ask about something else." Xia Lan always felt that Zhou Boming was playing a very big game, and Su Qing's case was definitely not an isolated case.

"Okay, wait for me here. I'll be back in three hours. I'll tell you everything I know." Shen Tong said, and continued working on the task at hand.

The bloodstained hemp rope in her hand still looked quite fresh.

"You put Guo Qi..."

"He's not dead." Shen Tong turned around and made room for a table that had been hidden by her body.

On it lay a bloodstained dagger, an alcohol lamp, needles and thread, iodine, bloodstained gauze, and a glass container.

What's soaking in the container is...

"I physically castrated him~" Shen Tong smiled innocently, her beautiful face showing no sign of cruelty.

Xia Lan gave a thumbs up, making a big thumbs-up gesture.

When Lu He pushed open the door to room 404, she found it brightly lit, and her two roommates were still reading and doing exercises late at night.

Seriously... besides filling in the numbers, there's not a single other setting. Lu He pursed her lips speechlessly.

I wonder if Zhou Ziyin will come back tonight.

Suddenly, one of the roommates started chatting with another, as if some kind of program had been started.

"What's wrong with 403 today? It was especially noisy last night."

"Oh, back then, everyone in room 403 went out at night. I think they all went to the police station."

"Really? What happened?"

"I heard that when Zhou Ziyin was calling her roommate, strange noises suddenly came from the other end of the line, and then the call was disconnected..."

The two roommates shared information about room 403 during the time Lu He was away.

Lu He couldn't help but interrupt their conversation: "What strange noise did you just make? Is something wrong with Zhou Ziyin?"

The two looked at Lu He with surprise, then ignored her and continued chatting.

"It is said that a muffled knocking sound was heard on the other end of the phone."

"Oh, that sounds terrifying. No wonder they all called the police. The police have been dispatched, so they should be able to find the person soon, right?"

Seeing that the two robots completely ignored her, Lu He was too lazy to make a fool of herself, so she listened attentively to their conversation.

Based on the information available, it seems that something happened to Zhou Ziyin on her way back.
