Chapter 967 An unexpected encounter

"There's none?"

Xiao Xiao whispered to himself, then, could the other hanging mark on the branch next to it be from a monster?

A hanging monster?
What a strange monster.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile.

"Master Xiao, what should we do next?"

The investigation hit a dead end again, and Meng Jixi's brows were furrowed.

It seems like there's no more news to be found anywhere.

Apparently a new clue has been discovered.
"What's with the hanging marks on the other branch?"

"Is it just a coincidence?"

Isn't there actually more meaning?
"Go down first."

Xiao Xiao turned and walked towards the dormitory door.

"Huh? Oh."

Meng Jixi, who fell behind, took a last look at the clothesline above, turned around and closed the balcony door.

"Shu~"

The curtains were drawn again.

"Pap~"

The fluorescent lights dimmed.

The room became dark again.

Meng Jixi looked around the room and closed the door of the dormitory.

On the way downstairs, neither of them spoke.

Xiao Xiao's face was calm, and his slightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of thoughtfulness.

Seeing this, Meng Jixi remained silent.

No one made a sound to disturb Master Xiao's thoughts.

"Thank you for the key, Auntie."

Meng Jixi handed the key to the dormitory manager.

"You're welcome."

The dorm aunt took the key and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Probably not."

Meng Jixi shrugged.

"It's okay, young man, keep working hard."

The dormitory manager was not surprised by this result.

In her opinion, what Meng Jixi did was nothing more than the passion of a young man.

The first time I encountered a case, I couldn't wait to make a contribution.

"Then Auntie, we'll take our leave now."

Meng Jixi smiled at the dormitory manager's encouragement, then waved his hand to indicate his intention to leave.

"Well, bye, young man."

The dormitory manager also smiled and waved.

Not long after I walked out of the boys' dormitory, "Ding-ling-ling~"

The get out of class bell rang.

In an instant, the quiet campus became lively.

"Well, get out of class is over?"

Meng Jixi rubbed his ears and said, "The school bell is as shocking as ever."

Two young men not wearing school uniforms walking on campus attracted the attention of many students.

Meng Jixi glanced around casually, and the students' gazes instantly became more focused.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, what should we do next?"

Since nothing was found in Zhang Yu’s dormitory, there was no point in checking the dormitories of earlier suicide victims.

I believe Master Xiao is also very clear about this.

But, it seems like there's nothing else they can do?
Just give up?

He was a little unwilling.

"Master Xiao, do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Xiao was about to answer when a scene he caught out of the corner of his eye made him move quickly.

But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Xiao caught a girl who was about to fall from the stairs.

"Ah~!"

A belated scream was heard.

Xiao Xiao helped the girl who was lowering her head and was obviously still in shock.

"Meng Meng, are you okay?!"

The students nearby finally reacted and gathered around.

"Why did you fall again?"

"I told you not to be distracted while walking, and you were distracted again, weren't you?"

Xiao Xiao let go and let the girl's classmates hold her up.

He stepped back a few steps to make room for the students.

"Master Xiao, you react very quickly."

Meng Jixi had to admit that in terms of observation and reaction ability, he was indeed not as good as Master Xiao.

Even though he had been training himself in these aspects since he was young. After all, because of his family environment, when he was first asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said without hesitation that he wanted to be a policeman.

This determination has not wavered until now.

And he was admitted to the Public Security University as he wished.

Soon, he will be a formal policeman.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go."

Just after the two took two steps, a girl's voice came from behind, "Um, please wait a moment!"

The two turned around.

"Thanks-"

"what?!"

The words of thanks came to an abrupt end and the girl opened her mouth in surprise.

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This is such an unexpected coincidence.

"It is you."

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The girl who was almost falling and was supported by him just now was the girl who was almost falling on the street a week ago and was supported by him.

This world sometimes always makes people feel so small.

I thought I had only met the girl once, but I didn't expect to meet her again so soon.

It was a scene so similar to the first time we met.

"You're still not paying attention when you walk."

Xiao Xiao calmly pointed out the reason why the girl fell.

"what!"

The girl finally came back to her senses.

What a surprise.

I actually met the kind person again.

But why is the situation the same as when we first met?

She almost fell and he saved her.

So shameful.

The girl just felt her cheeks getting hot.

"Well, um, thank you."

The girl thanked him reluctantly.

For a moment, I was a little afraid to look at each other.

Since she met a kind person last time, her gloomy mood has improved a lot.

However, this morning she heard that another person had committed suicide. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat and it seemed as if someone was whispering in her ear.

She was suddenly terribly frightened.

For unknown reasons, it seemed like something terrible was about to happen.

At this time, the classmate patted her on the shoulder.

She was so frightened that she screamed loudly, scaring everyone in the dormitory.

Faced with the worried eyes of others, she forced a smile and said that it was okay. She was just distracted when someone suddenly patted her shoulder and she was frightened.

After she finished speaking, even she herself began to believe it.

She shook her head, shaking off the strange feeling in her heart.

But my mood was affected after all.

She fell again after not having fallen for several days.

Although he was rescued.

But she felt that this seemed even more embarrassing.

In the other person's eyes, she is probably really just a very careless and clumsy girl, right?

"Dingling bell~"

A familiar bell rang, and the students watching around started to get excited and immediately ran to their respective classrooms.

"Mengmeng, let's go."

After his companion called out to the girl, he hurriedly followed the crowd.

"Go to class."

Xiao Xiao looked at the girl who was standing there without moving.

"It's still the bell for preparation. If we run a little, we can still make it to class in time."

However, looking at the girl who still didn't respond, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and understood a little, "What's the matter?"

".Um."

The girl nodded nervously.

She looked up at Xiao Xiao, then glanced at the man next to the kind-hearted person.

She had seen the man.

in the morning.

"that."

The girl twisted her hands tightly together, "Mr. Policeman."

She looked at Meng Jixi, her heart beating fast.
