Chapter 19 - The Skinning Murder Case

"Hmm?" Tang Qi looked up in surprise and immediately saw a large group of students, men and women, mixed with many teachers, flocking to the side area of the main campus. While running, you could see the excitement and fear mixed on their faces.

Something happened!

As soon as this thought flashed through Tang Qi's mind, several boys who ran past soon loudly told Tang Qi what exactly happened.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I heard there was a murder in the dorm area."

"It's true, several girls died, reportedly all cheerleaders."

"It seems that they died terribly, their whole body skinned by the murderer."

Tang Qi, who was about to go straight over, suddenly stopped when he heard the last sentence.

His feet moved, and he followed the crowd to the dorm area.

In addition to the main campus, Saint Thorn High School also had a large area occupied by dormitories.

After all, it was the best high school in Meiser City, with a large number of students, so some students chose to live on campus, mostly concentrated in dormitories, usually several people in one dormitory.

Like Tang Qi, who rented a small building alone, was rare after all.

Who made him now able to control that large amount of property? Even those from wealthy families may not necessarily do so.

When he arrived at the dorm area, Tang Qi immediately saw a large crowd gathered in a red brick building.

The murder happened on the first floor, in room 6. The police had already arrived first and pulled up the cordon outside the room. Many burly policemen formed a human wall to block some crazy students trying to get in.

A strong smell of blood drifted out.

Even through the swarming crowd, Tang Qi could see the open door, the flowing and coagulated black blood.

This terrible scene did not prevent these students in their adolescence with a strong curiosity.

The teachers in the crowd all had ugly faces.

But these students were discussing enthusiastically. From their cheerful discussion of the cruel case and occasional sobs, Tang Qi could judge:

First, the few victims were probably not very popular.

Second, the death, or method of death, was terrible.

Standing on the outskirts for a second, Tang Qi suddenly squeezed into the crowd of onlookers. Without using any brute force, just exerting his feet, in three or two steps he successfully squeezed to the forefront.

The best position, right in front of the open door.

At a glance, Tang Qi saw most of the scene in the room.

There were four victims in total, all female students.

They were not wearing clothes, lying on beds respectively. The blood amount beyond imagination directly submerged the beds, then dripped to the ground, gathered into streams flowing out the door and eventually coagulated at the door.

The method of death?

Unknown for the time being, because their skin was peeled off.

You could see this because outside the white cloth covering them, a pair of arms were exposed with the skin gone and red muscles showing.

But the white cloth also covered them. Otherwise, if it was really as Tang Qi imagined, I'm afraid these excitedly discussing students with curiosity after seeing it would vomit directly, vomiting three days and three nights of food.

This could be proved by several cleaners who were vomiting in a corner within the cordon until nearly fainting.

Unlike most students staring intently at the moving corpses, Tang Qi quickly captured the layout and details of the entire room in his eyes.

Soon, Tang Qi seemed to see something. His pupils shrank slightly, and his face suddenly darkened.

Although it recovered quickly, the doubt in his eyes remained.

After all, it was a cruel murder case, and it happened in a place like Saint Thorn High School. After the case spread, it could be imagined how much impact it would have in Meiser City.

For this reason, the police and the school were under tremendous pressure.

Very tacitly, they erupted efficiently. The police cordoned off the scene. One after another expert rushed over. At the same time, the white-haired old principal walked up to the students and announced that classes would not be suspended today and all students would attend classes as usual.

In addition to temporarily blocking the news to gain more time to deal with it, this was more likely to investigate the murderer.

Especially those who discovered the bodies and students living in the same building were directly in the "questioning" stage.

The other students were evacuated to class.

Before leaving, Tang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly but did not look at the crime scene again. Instead, he scanned the crowd of onlookers, as if trying to find something.

Unfortunately, there was nothing.

Disappointment flashed faintly in his eyes. He turned around and left with the other students to the main campus.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait!"

"You, wait a minute."

Suddenly called to stop, Tang Qi turned around in confusion and saw a tall female police officer coming over with several subordinates.

This female police officer wore a burgundy leather jacket and tight jeans like a model, but her perfect figure did not conceal her masculine aura at all. Under her red hair was an exquisite and beautiful face and a pair of mature and sharp eyes.

"Hello, I'm Police Chief Stana. I have a few questions I want to ask you. Do you mind if we go over there to talk?"

As soon as she came up, this woman took out her credentials and pointed to the temporary lounge in the hall, then made the above request.

As a student receiving this treatment, a trace of helplessness flashed across Tang Qi's face. There was no need to think about it. He should have received this treatment because of his tightly wrapped hand.

Any policeman who found an injured person at a crime scene would interrogate them immediately.

Tang Qi did not think that his ordinary student appearance could exempt him from this treatment.

But before Tang Qi could speak, the principal walked over, looked at Tang Qi carefully, affirmed something, then turned to the female police chief and said, "Police Chief Stana, this student no longer has a guardian. If you want to talk to him, you must have a school guardian representative accompany him."

Saying this was naturally because the principal knew of Tang Qi's existence.

This should be due to Mr. Ronald.

However, the relationships could only allow the principal to say this. Tang Qi did not expect that such a trivial relationship could allow the principal of a top high school to strongly defend himself, especially involving such a murder case with a bad influence.

Being able to negotiate a guardian representative's accompaniment was good enough.

As for exemption from questioning, judging from the serious look on the female police chief's face, it seemed impossible.

When his thoughts came to this, Tang Qi calmly stopped the principal from calling the guardian representative and said indifferently, "It's okay. I can represent myself and am willing to cooperate with the police's work, after all, the victims were also my classmates."

After speaking, Tang Qi took the initiative to enter the hall.

Behind him, Police Chief Stana, who saw Tang Qi's actions, had an even sharper look in her eyes at this moment.
