Chapter 174 Asking a Colleague for Help

The teacher noticed Cai Yi's focused and attentive demeanor, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

He unconsciously slowed down his speech, explaining in increasingly detailed and meticulous ways, striving to ensure that every student could fully understand the mysteries of human anatomy.

Time flies, and for all the students present, this period of learning seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although everyone's feelings are different, there is no doubt that this rare hands-on experience has left an indelible mark on them.

Cai Yi walked into the cafeteria absentmindedly, his mind still flashing back to the shocking wounds on the bodies of the teachers he had seen in class.

Those scars seemed to be deeply imprinted in her mind, making it impossible for her to let go.

Jiang Li noticed Cai Yi's unusual behavior, raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, asking with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you? You're not even eating properly!"

As she spoke, she picked up a fragrant, steaming piece of steamed pork and placed it in Caiyi's bowl, but Caiyi seemed not to see it at all, mechanically picking up food with his chopsticks and quickly shoveling it into his mouth.

Caiyi finally came to her senses, forced a smile, and said, "Oh dear, the teacher taught so much today, I need to digest it properly."

Hearing this, Jiang Li felt relieved and couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasingly saying, "Oh, I see! But speaking of which, you usually sleep soundly in class, why are you suddenly so attentive today?"

Caiyi scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled dryly, "Hehe, there are times when I do want to study, you know..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Li volunteered, patting her chest and saying, "In that case, if there's anything you don't understand, I can reluctantly tutor you!"

Upon hearing this, Caiyi was so startled that she quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "No, no, no, please don't bother! I appreciate your kindness, but there's really no need for you to trouble yourself!"

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to eat diligently, afraid that Jiang Li would bring up the tutoring again.

Jiang Li: "..."

Caiyi devoured the food in front of her in a flash, but her thoughts remained stuck on the things that were troubling her.

Just then, a clear, ringing bell suddenly rang out—

"Ding--"

Caiyi hurriedly took out his phone to check, and saw a message from home displayed on the screen.

She opened the document and began to read it carefully, her brows furrowing more and more deeply.

It turned out that her family told her that they had been unable to find any information about those people.

It must be that someone deliberately destroyed the files of these people, so that there is no way to know anything about their past experiences.

Since that's the case, we'll have to rely on ourselves to find the clues.

Thinking of this, Caiyi pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then got up and walked towards another table not far away.

At that moment, three people were sitting at the table, eating quietly.

Cai Yi slowly walked to the table and stopped, his gaze falling on the person opposite him. He said softly, "Xu Qingming, can you do me a favor?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Qingming, who was chewing slowly, stopped what he was doing, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then slightly raised his eyes to look at Cai Yi.

His dark, inky eyes gazed at her silently, offering no immediate reply, but instead asking, "What kind of help?"

Seeing that Xu Qingming did not refuse outright, Cai Yi felt somewhat relieved and quickly said, "Help me find information on a few students."

She paused, then lowered her voice to explain, "It's those young cadavers from the medical school..."

The time recorded by the medical staff for those cadavers was within these three months.

Caiyi felt that they were most likely students from our school.

During this period of time, she has collected a lot of information about Xu Qingming and his group. Although they have no memory of it, they have been subconsciously trying to maintain the stability of Lia University.

Therefore, Caiyi believed that if she asked Xu Qingming and the others for help, they would definitely assist her.

Besides, they were colleagues to begin with, weren't they?

Now that she's facing difficulties, she naturally wants to ask her colleagues for help!

After careful consideration, Xu Qingming and his colleagues finally agreed to participate in the matter, since it concerned the safety of many students at the school.

As night fell and the city lights came on, Xu Qingming, Xiao Baihua, Wei Yan, and Cai Yi headed to the school's medical department.

Stepping through the somewhat gloomy gate of the medical school and into the cadaver's room, a pungent smell of formaldehyde hits you.

Xiao Baihua suppressed her discomfort, carefully took out her notebook from her bag, checked the student information collected when she enrolled, and then walked to the container where the corpses were placed, carefully comparing the information with the students preserved in formalin one by one.

Ten minutes passed.

Her face grew paler, but she nodded firmly and said with certainty, "That's right, they are students from our school."

"Those students that Cai Yi mentioned."

Meanwhile, Wei Yan sat at a table to the side, opened her laptop, and intently searched through the surveillance footage from every corner of the school.

Time passed by, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of keyboard typing and a few people breathing could be heard.

After a long while, Wei Yan finally raised her head and nodded slightly, saying, "These students have been missing from the school for three whole months."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingming frowned, his brows furrowing tightly, and his expression instantly became serious.

A student died under mysterious circumstances, and the school and student council were completely unaware of it!

what on earth is it?

His mind began to race, quickly listing all the people who might be connected to the matter, including himself.

After all, everyone has a complex social circle, and no one can guarantee that they are absolutely free of suspicion. Perhaps someone is deliberately using him to cover up the whereabouts of these students.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingming tensed up. He was determined to get to the bottom of things quickly, to give the deceased student an explanation, and to restore the school to its former tranquility.

Moreover, seven people died mysteriously in just three months. It would be no easy task to cover this up completely and without any leaks!

It's important to know that the student council at this school is quite large, with members spread across every class in the school; it's practically everywhere.

However, despite having so many student council members, not one of them noticed that a total of seven people were missing.

Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine, and a cold shiver runs down your spine.

Xu Qingming arranged for Xiao Baihua to go to the medical school to help Cai Yi check on the medical students' situation.

Since the seven students who died were all medical students, it's clearly impossible to say they were completely unrelated.

Moreover, one person's strength is always limited, and it is often very difficult to do things.

Xiao Baihua's arrival can greatly alleviate Cai Yi's pressure.

However, what Xu Qingming found somewhat strange was that Cai Yi treated them with unusual familiarity and seemed to know their abilities very well.

It was as if they had known each other for a long time, but Xu Qingming was quite certain that they had never dealt with this student named Caiyi before.

Where does this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?
