[Password Killer 04] Chapter 64 - School

At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, Bai YuTang drove to the gate of Normal University with Zhan Zhao. At this time, it happened to be the time when the students had classes and those who had no classes came out to eat, the snack shop at the school gate was overcrowded. Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang got out of the car and walked into the school together. Looking at the students who hurried out to look for food, one or two of them lost their philistinism and more of innocence, and they couldn't help but think of when they were in college, it was much more relaxed than now.

These two people were already exceptionally handsome, and as soon as they walked into the school, they attracted the attention of many people. At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Bai YuTang took out the topographic map that Ma Xin had drawn for them, and walked together to the northwest of the campus. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and the two walked into the small forest near the north gate, and turned in from a small narrow road.

"It's really secluded here." Zhan Zhao looked around and said "A girl probably wouldn't come here alone."

"It's very likely that someone asked her to come here, or there is some other reason..." Bai YuTang nodded, and while talking, the two walked down the narrow road and came to the pond. At this time, the water in the pond has been pumped clean, and there is a thin layer of dry mud, withered aquatic plants, and some garbage on the bottom of the pond.

Zhan Zhao stood on the shore and looked around, then pointed to not far away, and said "Xiao Bai, it must be the public toilet over there."

Bai YuTang nodded, and suddenly tugged Zhan Zhao, pulling him to hide at the side.

"What are you doing?" Zhan Zhao looked at him, Bai YuTang signaled him to be quiet, and hid with him behind a bush in the woods, staring in the direction of the pond.

Not long after, they saw a person running out. The person came to the pond, looked around, found no one, so he squatted down by the pond, opened his bag, and took things out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang looked at each other then looked at the person carefully. That person should be a male student, wearing a regular white shirt, blue jeans, and carrying a black backpack. He opened the bag, and what came out were some joss paper and joss candle.

"Mei Mei... I'm here to see you." The boy burned the joss paper while talking to himself, and said "I'm counting the days, and I don't know when is your seventh day. Your family won't tell me the date, so I've been here every day for the past few days, and one of the day will definitely be the correct day. I'll burn some joss money for you, you must forgive me..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang looked at each other. What relationship does this person had with Liu Mei, and what's more, they don't know what he means by "You must forgive me.".

While thinking about it, Bai YuTang suddenly turned is head, and Zhan Zhao followed him, only to see a person standing not far behind. At first glance, both Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang were taken aback. They saw that it was a middle-aged man with dark skin, messy hair, wrinkled face, and scars on his face. Holding a sickle in his hand, he was standing there with one foot forward and one foot backward. Judging from his posture, he wanted to walk behind them quietly.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao and Bai YuTang looked back and saw him, the man turned around and wanted to run.

"Stop!" Bai YuTang rushed up and grabbed the man by the shoulder, the man started to run, but he realised that the man was limping. After being caught by Bai YuTang, he dragged him to the ground.

"Who are you?" Bai YuTang asked him while taking out his handcuffs to cuff his hands, the man cried in a low voice, and the sound he made was strange.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw that the boy was also startled, and was looking over curiously. Seeing that the strange man was still being handcuffed, he asked "Um... Are the both of you police officers?"
