"Why do I feel that the bathroom is chilly, it seems that there is a dark wind blowing..." Ning Luan became more and more frightened, and most of his body shrank outside the door, looking at the bathroom with only Zhou Yan and Lu Chenzhao, "Isn't it?" Is that invisible child standing somewhere in the bathroom watching us?"

As Ning Luan said, there is indeed wind in the bathroom.

Feeling the direction of the wind, Zhou Yan glanced at the window not far away: "The window is not closed."

"It turned out that the wind was blowing in from outside." Ning Luan breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to frighten himself, "Captain Zhou, we don't have much time, first look at the cups on the shelf in the bathroom."

Zhou Yan: "Yes."

Lu Chenzhao was standing in front of the shelf. He raised his hand and took down the two cups for brushing teeth on the shelf. He turned his head and smiled at Zhou Yan, and placed the cup in his hand on the edge of the sink: "Captain, Please see."

Zhou Yan glanced at Lu Chenzhao, walked to the sink, looked down at the two cups and the toothbrush inside.

Two cups, one is beige and the other is blue.

The beige cup is slightly larger, without any pattern, and a toothbrush for adults is inserted in the cup.The blue cup is smaller, with a cartoon pig printed on the cup and a toothbrush for children inside.

The inside of the beige cup is wet, and you can vaguely see a little limescale on the bottom of the cup, and if you lower your head a little, you can smell the toothpaste from the toothbrush.Obviously, someone brushed their teeth with this beige drinking glass and toothbrush this morning.

The bottom of the blue cartoon cup was dry with a very light layer of dust and no scale.Whether it has been useless since it was bought, or it was left like this after being cleaned up, it means that this cup has not been used for a long time.

Zhou Yan reached out to pick up the children's toothbrush and found that there was no smell on the toothbrush. The bristles of the toothbrush were straight and neat, and there was no sign of distortion in any direction. It looked like no one had ever used it.

Adults and children may share a cup to brush their teeth, but it is unlikely that they will share the same toothbrush when there are plenty of toothbrushes.Unless it can be confirmed that this toothbrush is newly bought, has not been used, and the old one has been thrown away, otherwise, it cannot be pushed out from the toilet. In this room, besides Teacher Xu, there is a child.

Zhou Yan picked up the blue cartoon cup and handed it to Ning Luan: "Look carefully."

Ning Luan took the blue cartoon cup and looked it over and over several times, then stared at Zhou Yan with wide eyes: "Is this set of toiletries new?"

"The toothbrush is new, not necessarily the cup." Zhou Yan paused, then added expressionlessly, "What is certain is that this set of toiletries has not been used for a long time."

"I haven't even used ghosts before." Ning Luan nodded, frowning and put the blue cartoon cup and toothbrush back on the sink, "Zhou team, boss Lu, is it possible that the ghost kid who lives here hasn't brushed his teeth?" Habit?"

Lu Chenzhao smiled and nodded the children's towel hanging on the towel rack: "Come here and touch the towel."

Ning Luan walked a few steps into the bathroom, stretched his arms and touched the towel with his fingertips, and immediately said, "The towel is also dry and still very soft."

The soft touch of the towel was still on the fingertips. Ning Luan recalled the slightly hard touch of his own towel when it was dry, and suddenly realized: "I see, this towel is new. Not only does that ghost child not brush his teeth, he also doesn't wash his face. .”

There was a smile on Lu Chenzhao's mouth, and his eyes were full of disgust: "You quit the team."

"What else could it be other than what I said." Ning Luan couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that he put so many children's toiletries in the bathroom, just for viewing? 405 only lives in Teacher Xu, and there are no ghost children? "

Lu Chenzhao said meaningfully: "Go to the bedroom and see."

Ning Luan took two steps forward, then backed away, and looked back at Lu Chenzhao and Zhou Yan: "Boss Lu, are you talking about the room you and Team Zhou stayed in just now?"

Lu Chenzhao nodded.

Ning Luan remembered that Zhou Yan's book was taken from the desk in that room, and reached out his hand to Zhou Yan: "Captain Zhou, is the book in your hand still useful? Do you want me to put the book back for you?"

Zhou Yan refused: "No, I want to go there too."

"Captain, you don't need to go." Lu Chenzhao smiled and walked to Zhou Yan's side, "The children's bed in that room is just a decoration, no one has slept in it for a long time."

Zhou Yan handed the book in his hand to Lu Chenzhao: "Look at the top of the book."

Lu Chenzhao understood at a glance: "This is a rectangular book with a white border."

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, frowned and said, "I'm a little concerned about why his book is here. It's the second volume of the third grade textbook that he hasn't used."

When Zhou Yan and Lu Chenzhao entered the bedroom door, Ning Luan and others were discussing the textbooks on the desk around the desk.

Luo Nan stood closest to the desk, her eyes fixed on the top of the math book, flipping through it quickly over and over again, feeling more and more wrong: "Why do I feel that these are not messy lines, but words..."

Chang Minghao leaned over and said, "How is it possible? I wrote my name on the top of the book before, and when I closed it, I saw the same words. It wouldn't be this kind of messy lines."

"I remembered!" Ning Luan slapped his forehead excitedly, "If you just pinch the edge of the book and fan the pages, you can still see the words written on it when the book is closed, but there is a way, Once the book is closed, the words written on the page become a mess of lines. When I was in junior high school, a classmate wrote his name on the bottom of the book in this way."

Luo Nan handed the math book in his hand to Ning Luan: "Try it."

Ning Luan took the math book and rubbed it several times, but the messy lines on the top of the book were still random lines, not words.

Chang Minghao: "Ning Luan, are you sure there is such a thing? Did you remember wrongly?"

"I'm not mistaken." Ning Luan said the words, and the movements of his hands did not stop, "But I forgot how to write it specifically, and I don't remember how to read it. I just remember that it is different from the normal way of writing..."

Zhou Yan stopped, and pinched the top and bottom of the language document with both hands, turning the upper and lower sides into a fan shape, and the characters on the top of the language document did not appear.Zhou Yan changed the direction and tried again, and finally saw what was written on the top of the Chinese document.

Like Ning Luan's junior high school classmates, the owner's name was written on the top of this Chinese book.

His surname is Chu, and his name is Chu Mingming. It is the same surname as Chu Yuan, the previous physical education teacher who died of jumping off a building in Class [-], Grade [-].

Holding the book in one hand, Zhou Yan handed the book to Ning Luan while maintaining the status quo: "The owner of the book is Chu Mingming."

The people standing around Ning Luan backed away. Ning Luan took the book and stared dumbfounded at the name written on the top of the book. The clues he had found in Class [-] of the third grade flashed through his mind one by one: "The textbook Lin Mingming used was used by Chu Mingming. Chu Mingming is the white edge of the chair that Zheng Xiaokai used to sit on before. Team Zhou, is my understanding correct?"

Zhou Yan said coldly: "That's right, I just missed some clues."

Ning Luan asked curiously, "What did you miss?"

"The last physical education teacher in the second class of the third grade was also surnamed Chu. He was the murderer who killed the missing child. He is most likely the same person as Teacher Xu. Chu Mingming only used the textbooks of the first volume of the third grade, and never used the textbooks of the third grade. He may have died before using the textbook, so he didn’t have time to use it.” Zhou Yan added clues one by one, and also stated the conclusion that the clues might point to, “There is only one missing child left, Sun The principal has hinted to us that the child's surname is not Lin, and based on the existing clues, we can infer that the last person we are looking for is not Lin Mingming, but Chu Mingming."

Ning Luan tried his best to digest the clues and inferences given by Zhou Yan, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't understand one point: "Captain Zhou, since what we are looking for is Chu Mingming who may have died long ago, what is going on with Lin Mingming? He's the one we were looking for in the first place."

Lu Chenzhao walked to Zhou Yan's right, and poked the right pocket of Next Zhou Yan's coat from the air: "Captain, the clues are on those papers."

Zhou Yan immediately understood what kind of paper Lu Chenzhao was talking about, and took out the note with the names of Lin Mingming, Song Xiaoyu and others that he put in his coat pocket, and took out the note with Lin Mingming and the picture on it. A rectangular note with a white border was placed on the table.

When I read it for the first time, Zhou Yan only felt that the words "Lin Mingming, Class [-], Grade [-]" were written crookedly and full of childlike charm, but he didn't see any other deep meaning in them.At this time, there was a note with a white-edged rectangular imprint for comparison, and Zhou Yan realized that something was wrong.

The length of the white-edged rectangle is the same as the length of the word Lin Mingming, and the width is the same as the height of the word Mingming.

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes, picked up the note with Lin Mingming written on it, and stacked it on the piece of paper with the rectangular imprint on the white border.

The black color originally painted on the paper is a bit heavy, but you can see it clearly through the paper with Lin Mingming's name written on it. Press down with your fingertips, and the rectangle with white edges will also show through.

As Zhou Yan expected, the white-edged rectangle just framed the three characters "Lin Mingming". The vertical part of the character "Lin" is just on the top of the rectangle, occupying only half the width. If "疋" is added below, it becomes a character "Chu".

The conclusion is obvious, the white-edged rectangle conveys another meaning besides representing a certain owner who has sat on this chair.

Lin Mingming is Chu Mingming.

Thinking of the symbol he had seen before, Zhou Yan picked up the note with Lin Mingming's name on it, and stacked the note with the names of Song Xiaoyu, Fang Xuzhou, and Zheng Xiaokai on the bottom piece of paper with a white rectangle printed on it.

Not only Lin Mingming, but the names of the other three people can also be framed by a white rectangle.

Song Yu looked at the movement of Zhou Yan's hand, and suddenly felt that the white-edged rectangle might have the same meaning as the symbol he had seen on the tombstone. Realizing this, Song Yu panicked inexplicably, and his words changed Tune: "Captain Zhou, this... this is the Death Call."

The sign of death is generally a black rectangular box drawn outside the name to convey to the reader the message that the person has passed away.

"Ah."

Zhou Yan looked at the three words "Zheng Xiaokai" framed by a rectangle with a white border, and responded in a low voice.

They are late.

All the missing children from Class [-], Grade [-], died before investigators came to find them.
