28.confront

Of course, after experiencing several deaths, I have obviously become much calmer. I'm not overly desperate about this situation.

"Don't worry about them. Let's investigate first. There's still one day until the next game." I said directly. Jennifer nodded and said, "Of course, boss. You've been investigating for so long. Do you definitely have some clues?"

"There are a few clues, but they are not complete. With the current effective clues, we can't find the real culprit." I shook my head and said. I don't have any clue right now either.

But I have a vague feeling that Old Harr who burns the boiler and from the girls' dormitory, perhaps we can find some clues. But I didn't say these out. Because this is just speculation.

"There must have been unknown things happening in this school. Let's investigate carefully. Maybe we can find the real culprit." I said seriously.

"By the way, since the school intentionally conceals it. But in the school's files, there must be records. The school must have such documents." Jennifer suddenly said.

His suggestion made our eyes light up, but then I shook my head: "The problem is, how should we look for them? The school's archives are manned every day."

"Right, during the time the door is locked at night, we can go in." Jennifer suddenly said.

"This isn't good." Henry beside was a bit hesitant.

"Why not? There must be something in the school's archives. Maybe we can find the truth." Jennifer said.

"Let's see." I shook my head and said. But in my heart, I still secretly noted down this method. Just as Jennifer said. Something must have happened in the school before, but it was intentionally forgotten by everyone.

Since we can't ask anything from these school staff, then maybe we can find the answer from the school files. But going to the archives in the middle of the night is not a good thing anyway.

"Let's wait on this matter. Let's go to Old Harr's place." I said to Jennifer. Jennifer nodded, and then the four of us came to Old Harr's residence like this.

"Old Harr, we've come to see you again." I walked in carelessly and said. In our hands, we also brought some fruits and side dishes. Even Jennifer bought a few bottles of wine.

These were all necessary things to get words out of Old Harr.

It's summer now. Except for boiling some hot water. Old Harr doesn't need to burn the boiler. So now he is sitting outside leisurely sunbathing, and even smoking a dry tobacco in his mouth.

Seeing our arrival, Old Harr's face was as calm as an ancient well. Just looking at the side dishes in our hands. Finally, he moved his body.

"Hehe, what else is there for this old man to be seen?" He said with a smile while inviting us into the room. After we entered the room, we put down the things in our hands, and then said smilingly: "Old Harr, besides coming to see you, we also want to ask you something."

"I knew you wouldn't come without a reason. But I really have nothing to tell you." Old Harr waved his black hands, his face a bit impatient.

"It's okay. We also came to see you by the way." I smiled and gave Jennifer a wink. Then Jennifer hurriedly handed a pack of cigarettes to Old Harr and even lit a cigarette for him.

"Not bad. Yuxi." Old Harr said while smoking, narrowing his eyes.

"There's also Erguotou. Old Harr, how about having a drink?" I said smilingly while holding up the Erguotou.

"It's not even that late. What kind of wine are you drinking?" Old Harr looked at me and said.

"Old Harr, you're so old and don't even have a wife. What else can you do except drown your sorrows in wine?" I said with a smile. But it made Old Harr very unhappy.

But Old Harr was really as I said. Eating the side dishes and drinking the Erguotou. He started to tell me.

"You're right. I'm already fifty-seven and don't even have a wife." Old Harr said with a worried expression. But I hurriedly said: "I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."

"Humph, I still don't know what's on your mind. Aren't you just trying to ask what exactly happened in the entire school before?" Old Harr looked at me disdainfully and then started drinking again.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

I knew my scheme had succeeded. Old Harr is so old but still single. He must be lonely when he has nothing to do. Around his house, there are bottles of white wine everywhere. This shows that he loves to drown his sorrows in wine.

So I deliberately said such words. Old Harr really fell for it and started drinking wine. The nearby Jennifer and perrin also started to persuade him to drink according to my hint.

Old Harr started to drink. His drunkenness became stronger and stronger. His voice was also indistinct. He started to tell us his story.

"When I was in my twenties, I came to this school to burn the boiler. It was considered an iron rice bowl at that time. The salary was also good. But just because this job wasn't decent, I couldn't find a wife. It wasn't until I was thirty that I finally found one."

"Her name was Jins, and she was also very kind to me. I finally found a woman who cared about me. But that day, when she came to the school to visit me, she suddenly died." When Old Harr said this, he even started to cry.

And my expression slightly changed and I hurriedly asked; "How did Jins die?"

"She suddenly couldn't think straight and jumped off the building. I don't know why she jumped either. But the police said she committed suicide. And when she jumped off the building, there was no one around. In the end, the school compensated me 100,000 yuan, and that was the end of it." After Old Harr finished speaking, he took a swig of wine gloomily.

"So that's it. So your wife died for no known reason?" I asked.

"Yes, I also don't know why she jumped off the building. I was also very good to her at that time. If she really didn't want to be with me, a divorce would be fine too. Why did she have to jump off the building? Making the people in the village all say that I deliberately forced her to death. As a result, up to now, I still can't find a wife." Old Harr forced a bitter smile, and his wrinkled face was full of sadness.

"So your wife died twenty years ago?" I said to Old Harr.

"More or less. It was over twenty years ago. I was only in my thirties at that time." Old Harr said.

"Did anything strange happen at the school twenty years ago?" I asked Old Harr.

"No. Everyone was fine twenty years ago. Nothing happened." Old Harr shook his head.

"You've stayed in this school for such a long time. How many people have died during this period?" I asked Old Harr. Old Harr was stunned for a moment. Because he was drunk, his consciousness was a bit blurred.

But he still counted with his fingers: "My wife, the girl who committed suicide three years ago. And these are several in your class. Then that's it."

I was about to continue asking when Old Harr drank some wine and suddenly felt unwell. He directly walked into the room and fell asleep. Only the group of us were left looking at each other.

"That's it. We can leave." I suddenly said, then waved my hand and asked Jennifer and them to follow me and turn to leave.

When we returned to the playground, Jennifer suddenly asked: "Boss, what did you mean when you said you understood just now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the number of people killed by that resentful spirit in these years is definitely not just these few. But almost no one knows. This shows that the resentful spirit can block our senses. Making us subconsciously forget what we see and hear." I sneered.

"That's impossible. I still remember the people in our class until now." Jennifer said.

"I can do an experiment." After I finished speaking, I randomly found a person on the playground. This person was a boy. Looking at me warily, he asked: "What do you want from me?"

"Classmate, do you know that people have died in Class 5, Grade 2 in the past few days?" I asked him.

"Of course I know." This boy nodded.

"Then how many died? How many boys and how many girls were the deceased?" I asked again.

"I don't know. Forget it. Aren't they just a few deaths?" This boy said impatiently, then pushed my hand away and turned to leave.

"Damn it. What kind of words did he say? No way. I'm going to beat him up." Jennifer said angrily and was about to rush over. But I held him back.

"It seems my idea is correct," I said seriously: "Everyone thinks about it. Such a terrifying disaster happened in the school. Whoever it is, they would be scared, right?"

"But that boy's expression was so indifferent. This is because the resentful spirit can block the senses of the entire school. Making them think that deaths are just a small matter. This has led to the fact that this matter has not spread until now." I spread out my hands and said.

"Boss, what you said really makes sense. So many people have died in the classroom up to now, and classes haven't been suspended. This is really unreasonable." Henry said in surprise.

"I'll go and ask again," Jennifer said, and then he held Perrin's hand. He ran towards the playground. Soon he ran back, his face full of horror and surprise.

"I just asked five people from other classes in a row. They all know what happened in our classroom. But they all had an indifferent look. It seemed that they didn't care about our lives."

"Not only that, but when I asked them. When our class is still having deaths now, they were even more indifferent and not surprised at all. They even showed impatience. It's really strange."

"This is normal. In their eyes, this is just a small matter. They don't care. In this case, I might have a way to confront the mastermind behind the scenes." The corner of my mouth suddenly curled into a sneer and said.

"How to confront?" Henry and Jennifer asked.

"Very simple. Exposure! Completely expose this matter. Then we will be safe." I said to them.

"Then what should we do?" Jennifer asked.
