Chapter 149 - 149 The Campus Case
149 The Campus Case
Luo Yao won the competition and was very well-known. However, the person who was in the limelight was not Luo Yao, but the principal, Ning Shi, who had been waiting in the audience.
It couldn’t be helped. The two experts on the stage, Mou Zhenjiang and Luan Limei, were like Ning Shi’s fangirls, looking for all kinds of angles to flatter Ning Shi.
Luan Limei, “After the Campus Awakeners’ Competition is over, the officials will release the Outstanding Board and the Hidden Dragon Board. Principal Ning Shi will definitely be one of the top figures on the Outstanding Board!
“That’s right. If principal Ning Shi isn’t on the Outstanding Board, I will doubt the fairness and authority of the Outstanding Board,” Mou Zhenjiang said.
Ning Shi was speechless.
Being praised like this, Ning Shi only felt that the surrounding audience and participating students kept looking at him, their eyes full of admiration and curiosity.
According to the schedule, there would be no more competition after Donglin City’s First Strength Awakener School won today.
Although the First Awakener School had lost, they were not eliminated. The competition was based on a double-elimination system, so they had only fallen into the losing group.
If they had the strength, they could still fight their way back to the finals from the losing team.
Ning Shi accompanied his disciples and watched all the matches of the schools. His cousin Wang Yuwei did well and defeated two opponents in a row before giving up because his ability was exhausted.
After watching the competition, Ning Shi already knew in his heart that Donglin City’s Championship was already in the bag.
In the other schools, there were no experts who could be compared to Luo Yao. In fact, no one could be a match for Jiang Bichao.
It was inevitable that he would sweep the championship, so Ning Shi didn’t intend to pay any more attention to the subsequent matches.
After he returned to school, he had Ilya cancel the summoning and returned to the guardian spirit insect’s hatchery.
After leaving for a few days, everything in the insect world was normal.
Under the combined efforts of the guardian spirit insects and war insects, their territory was gradually expanding, and the resources they occupied were also increasing.
The guardian spirit insects were very intelligent. The insect commander Ning Yi knew how to avoid trouble. He would always avoid the powerful kingly insect tribe and its subordinates.
Ning Shi transformed into an insect commander and immersed his consciousness into the insect commander’s brainwave network, feeling the internet of the insect world.
He felt as if his body had entered the internet.
Like the matrix in the movie, he shuttled through one internet home after another.
He saw all sorts of strange requests from the other insect tribe insect commanders and all kinds of trading items.
Ning Shi didn’t make a move. Firstly, he had just entered the brainwave network and planned to familiarize himself with it for a while. Secondly, he didn’t have many resources on hand.
After staying in the insect world for two days and finding no problems, Ning Shi returned to Saturn.
Because the season was about to change, although he was no longer afraid of the cold, Ning Shi was now a principal, so he couldn’t dress too casually.
Ning Shi also wanted to go out for a walk.
So, he took the initiative to invite Hao Meng to eat at Wanxiang Square.
He didn’t expect Ilya to come along.
After experiencing so many things, Ning Shi’s skin had become thicker and thicker. Walking into the mall, he held Hao Meng’s soft little hand.
Hao Meng blushed, but she didn’t refuse and let Ning Shi hold her hand.
Ilya was even bolder. While Ning Shi’s right hand was holding Hao Meng’s hand, she was still holding Ning Shi’s left arm.
A man and two women were walking together affectionately.
Hao Meng and Ilya were two beautiful women with different styles, and their figures were super good. People would always turn their heads when they walked into the mall.
These two great beauties accompanied a man like Ning Shi without any ill feelings.
It made Ning Shi the center of attention.
The three of them strolled around the mall for a while and bought a few sets of clothes.
When it was time to eat, Ning Shi suggested, “Let’s go eat pickled fish. I haven’t had it for a long time, so I’m a little hungry.”
The two beauties had no objections.
After entering the restaurant and ordering, Ning Shi found that the content of the conversations around him was almost all related to the Campus Awakeners’ Competition.
Today was the third day of the Campus Awakeners’ Competition. After this period of time, the whole society had begun to pay attention to this competition.
The impact of this competition was even greater than that of the National Awakeners’ Competition.
Ning Shi was very proud today because Hao Meng didn’t care about his intimacy with Ilya. This meant that he had taken a big step forward in his harem!
Soon, the pickled fish was served. Ning Shi ordered seabass. The sour, fragrant, and spicy soup base and the fresh and smooth bass slices increased people’s appetite.
After the three of them had a big meal without any reservations, Ning Shi was about to watch a movie with the two beautiful girls when he received a call from Zhu Daniu.
Ning Shi’s expression was grave. He had told Zhu Daniu before that if the Investigation Department had any big cases that they could not handle, they could look for him.
Now that Zhu Daniu was calling, something big must have happened.
He quickly picked it up.
“Consultant Ning, three murder cases happened at the same time in three Awakener Schools today. My colleagues and I have done our best to investigate, but we have no leads.
“As you know, the Campus Awakeners’ Competition is currently in progress. The whole of society is paying close attention to the competition. If a vicious serial killer were to happen at this time, it would cause a great negative impact.
“We really can’t find any clues right now, so we want to ask for your help.”
Ning Shi did not hesitate and immediately said, “Where are you? I’ll go over now.”
Hearing that Ning Shi had agreed to help, Zhu Daniu also heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’m at Donglin City’s First Awakener School. Give me a call when you arrive. The notable case-solving experts and consultants sent by the headquarters are also on their way here. You can have a discussion with them when the time comes.
Ning Shi didn’t avoid Hao Meng and Ilya when he answered the phone. With the two women’s super-perception, they could hear the content of the phone call.
“Brother Shitou, I have to go back to do an important experiment in the afternoon,” Hao Meng said. “You can go back first. If you need any help, you can find me.”
Ning Shi did not stand on ceremony either and directly said, “Sure, let’s hang out another day.”
After he finished speaking, he shamelessly kissed Hao Meng on the lips, which were warm and soft.
Then, he kissed Ilya’s face.
He turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Ning Shi didn’t take a car but ran directly to the First Awakener School at an extremely fast speed.
Compared to Ning Shi’s First Strength School, the campus of the First Awakener School was more crowded. Many facilities were also older. After all, it was an expansion of the foundation of the original middle school.
Ning Shi gave Zhu Daniu a call. Two minutes later, Zhu Daniu appeared in front of Ning Shi and said hurriedly,
“Consultant Ning, the situation is urgent. Just now, another student was killed at the Awakener School in an urban area. There are now four murders!”
“Let’s talk while we walk.”
Ning Shi nodded and followed Zhu Daniu to the crime scene.
“Consultant Ning, this case is very evil and the methods are very bad. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Zhu Daniu’s voice was low and even a little hoarse as he said, “At nine o’clock this morning, we received a report that several black bags were found at Donglin City’s Awakener School in Jiayi district.
“Inside the bag were cooked body parts that had been cut neatly.
“My team members rushed to Jiayi district’s Awakener School and searched the entire school. They found a total of seven bags. After putting the pieces of the corpse together, they found a complete corpse!
“After the forensic examination, the deceased was a student from Jiayi district’s Awakener School. His name was Zhang Wu and he was 17 years old this year. He was a Tier 1 transformation-type awakener.
“He left the dormitory at 7 p.m. On the 2nd of October last night and went to the Kun Peng field to practice. No one saw him after that.
“We got the surveillance video from the intersection of the school and found that he did enter the Kun Peng field and disappeared.
“In the other surveillance videos, Zhang Wu’s figure was no longer seen. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air in the Kun Peng field. The other students who were training on the field at that time all said that there was no abnormal phenomenon.
“We’ve also investigated Zhang Wu’s interpersonal relationships and found that he’s very low-key and doesn’t have any grudges with any classmates or people in society. There are no clues about his motive for killing.”
Following Zhu Daniu’s explanation, the two of them arrived at a small hill that was filled with sycamore trees.
This place had been completely cordoned off by the Investigation Department’s cordon tape.
Zhu Daniu walked up the hill and pointed at a black bag. “These are the body pieces found at the first school. We are still searching for the rest of the bags.
Ning Shi walked forward and opened the bag. Pieces of the corpse in even sizes were neatly stacked in the bag.
There was no blood on the body, only an abnormal white color. It should have been cooked.
On the left side of the bag, there was a bald head. Right above the head, there was a strange symbol that looked like two crossed scimitars.
Seeing this symbol, the familiar shape of a curved knife, Ning Shi’s heart trembled and he blurted out.
“The Evil Spirit Cult!”
