Chapter 48: The Impolite Dr. Ning (Third Update)

  Listening to Ningyuan's words, Chen Yuxin also felt a little absent-minded. Although she didn't want to believe it, the fact was that the flower-like girl who had called her "sister" just a few days ago was now separated from her by heaven and earth, and she couldn't even find out the truth.

  She made a promise to herself in her heart, and also made a promise to the dead girl, not to care about Chen Yu Xin anymore. Taking advantage of Chen Yu Xin's distraction, she quietly left.

  As Ningyuan walked out of the Literature Department building, he still felt a lingering sense of sadness. Although he had only met the deceased girl once, she had been killed by a master of the secret arts. Ningyuan also practiced the secret arts and considered himself to be in the same line of work as the killer. The fact that one of their own kind had turned out to be a murderer made Ningyuan feel somewhat guilty.

  Just after squeezing out of the crowd, Ningyuan heard someone calling her from behind. The voice was crisp and pleasant, just like a skylark, washing away the annoyance in Ningyuan's heart.

  Ning Yuan turned his head back, and the first thing he saw was a pair of clear eyes, followed by the other's delicate face, but today this face did not have that infectious smile.

  The one who stopped Ning Yuan was none other than Ouyang Shasha.

  Ning Yu stopped in his tracks, and Ouyang Shasha walked up to him, saying softly, "Dr. Ning, want to know what's going on? Follow me."

  As she spoke, Ouyang Shasha had already walked past Ningyuan's side. Ningyuan looked at Ouyang Shasha's back and slightly hesitated before following closely behind her.

  For Ouyang Sha and Liu Dong, Ningyuan has always been curious. Although they are only freshmen in their first year, they have a maturity that transcends their peers, especially Ouyang Sha, who always wears an expression like still water, not as if she is detached from the world, but rather as if she sees through the mundane, even when following him to crash Ma Baocheng's party last time, she was calm and composed throughout.

  The two people's kung fu is even more unimaginable, without 7 or 8 years of bitter practice, it is absolutely impossible to have the current skills.

  Ouyang Sha was in front, and Ning Yuan followed behind. The two of them walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at a small courtyard in the old campus area.

  This small courtyard was the first day Ning Yu came to school, Han Wei Peng brought him wandering around and said that this was the former teacher's dormitory area. Later, a new dormitory building was built, and this piece of land became empty and became the school's archives room, storing some old files that are not often used.

  Watching Ouyang Sha enter the file room, Ning Yuan was puzzled but didn't ask much and followed her in. The whole courtyard was empty, not a single person was there.

  Ouyang Shasha led Ning Yuan to a room door with a lock still hanging on it. Ouyang Shasha reached up and took down a small hair clip from her head, opened it and inserted it into the lock, and the lock on the door clicked open with a slight turn.

  She opened the lock hanging on the door and pushed it open. It was as if she had returned to her own home. She turned back to Ning and said, "Doctor Ning, come in."

  Ningyuan followed Ouyang Shasha into the room, where there were three or four rows of bookshelves, with densely packed file bags on top, covered in dust. This place obviously hadn't been managed for a long time.

  "Take a look at this." Ouyang Sha brought Ning Yuan to the end of the bookshelf, took out a thick file from the bookshelf and handed it to Ning Yuan.

  Ning took it and saw that on the file folder was written "1998 Fuhai University Expansion Demolition Compensation Plan for Surrounding Residents".

  This year is 2004, and it was six years ago in 1998. According to Han Wei Peng, that was also the time when Fuzhou University officially started its expansion.

  After glancing at the words on the folder, Ningyuan casually opened it and found not only the names of residents within the demolition range and compensation plans but also information about the terrain around Fuxi University.

  When Ningyuan saw the words on the folder cover, he guessed the general purpose of Ouyang Shasha bringing him here. This matter is likely to be caused by the school expansion in those years. Apart from this, Ningyuan couldn't think of any other reason. Who would have a grudge against the school?

  After a rough glance, Ningyuan quickly found the key point. The current sophomore literature department teaching building is near what was originally a cemetery, located in the northeast direction of Fuhai University's old campus, about 500 meters from the back door.

  This cemetery has been around for many years, dating back to the Republic of China era. Later, villagers nearby also buried their elderly family members there. When the campus was expanded, the cemetery was leveled and incorporated into the new campus.

  Generally speaking, whether it's a campus expansion, factory expansion, or real estate development, they all tend to dislike places with tombs or cemeteries and will not occupy such land.

  It's a coincidence that this piece of land is close to the old campus of Fuxi University, with a very special geographical location. The surrounding area is all wasteland, with only a few residential areas, so it would cost less to expand, which was why it was chosen back then.

  Although, all the graves with elderly people who could find their descendants were compensated by both the demolition company and the school, and helped to choose a new cemetery. Only some graves that couldn't find their descendants were ignored by the school and directly demolished.

  After finishing reading the contents of the folder, Ning Yuan took a deep breath and closed it. He finally had a clue in his mind and roughly understood why someone was haunting the vicinity of the sophomore literature department building.

  There are three possibilities. One is that some people were dissatisfied with the compensation from the school back then and now come to make trouble. Another possibility is that the descendants of the original owner of the tomb, which was demolished by the school back then, have returned and upon learning about their ancestral tomb being destroyed, they take revenge out of discontent. The last possibility is that someone intentionally uses the past event as a diversion to achieve an ulterior motive.

  Among the three possibilities, Ningyuan thinks that the second possibility is more reliable. Now the only trouble is that it's not clear which family the unclaimed tomb belongs to. If there was some clue, it would be easier to find a lead.

  Put the folder back on the bookshelf, Ningyuan had a plan in mind. This matter was troublesome for others, but not difficult for him. With these clues, he could easily infer who was behind the scenes.

  While thinking to himself, Ning Yuan raised his head and looked at Ouyang Shasha with a faint smile, asking: "How did you know these things? These archived files are from several years ago. You've only been here for a short while."

  "What do you care how I knew?" Ouyang Sha smiled slyly, not answering Ning Yuan's question, and a smile that was infectious to people appeared on her face again. She patted her hand and said, "Alright, now you should know why the teaching building of the sophomore literature department was haunted some time ago, and you can also guess what happened today when someone jumped off the building."

  "How did you know I needed to know these things? These things should be handed over to the police." Ning Yuan said with a smile, looking at Ouyang Shasha.

  "No reason, just knowing is knowing." Ouyang ShaSha smiled and said: "Alright, we should leave. Although no one is in charge of this place, if we stay too long, it will also attract attention from others, unless you want to make this matter known to everyone."

  Ningyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, following Ouyang Shasha out of the room. Watching Ouyang Shasha relock the door, they left the small courtyard together.

  As he walked out, Ning Yuan couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Shasha's back, his fingers drumming a rhythm on his thigh. He was genuinely curious about this girl in front of him, just as policewoman Chen Yuxin had been curious about him.

  Ning had just finished calculating halfway, when Ouyang Shasha suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Doctor Ning, it's impolite to arbitrarily calculate someone's fate without their consent."

  “………”

  Ning Yuan's mouth was wide open, and he was speechless.
