Chapter 942: It’s Shi Kuo
“The police? How can they protect us?! You guys don’t even know who the murderer is!” Zhou Xiaoyong’s eyes turned red with fear.
“If you had cooperated with us earlier, perhaps Zhou Yang wouldn’t have died today. These cases are specific targets, and they don’t match the methods of a serial killer. The murderer is only targeting you guys. It’s more like he’s taking revenge. Think about it carefully, have you provoked anyone?” Huo Chen analyzed calmly before waiting for their answer expectantly.
“But we were just fooling around in school.” Zhou Xiaoyong looked at Huo Chen timidly, wishing he could bury his head into the ground. “Moreover, we can’t remember every single student we bullied…”
“Think about it and find a way to narrow things down. For example, who did you bring to meet Zhou Qiang? That person also took revenge on him. It’s obvious that he must have been bullied by Zhou Qiang before,” Quan Jue stated in a steady voice.
“And Jiang Shuang. Isn’t she a teacher? What has this got to do with you bullying the other students?” Chi Jiao couldn’t figure out what role Jiang Shuang had played in this case.
At the mention of this, Zhou Xiaoyong and the rest looked even more ashamed.
“Teacher Jiang Shuang is one of my brother’s girlfriends and our class teacher. She has always turned a blind eye to our matters,” Zhou Qiang said carefully.
“There now, haven’t you already narrowed down the suspects? Think about it, who among the people you bullied has any links with them?” Huo Chen wasn’t in the mood to fuss over such small matters. Their top priority now was to find the murderer.
Zhou Xiaoyong and the other two thought about it carefully.
Seeming to have thought of something, Zhou Xiaoyong raised his hand and clapped. He shouted, “I… I got it! It’s Shi Kuo!”
“Yes! It must be Shi Kuo! Shi Kuo didn’t know that Teacher Jiang Shuang was with us. He was even on rather good terms with her. I even saw them talking about the piano together,” Chen Shuo added.
“Shi Kuo’s family has some money. We’re poor, so we often look for him. In the end, he told Teacher Jiang Shuang about how he was bullied.” Fu Lei stopped at that.
Even if he didn’t continue, Chi Jiao and the rest could guess what had happened.
Jiang Shuang was Zhou Qiang’s girlfriend, and Zhou Xiaoyong was Zhou Qiang’s favorite cousin. Shi Kuo was just courting death by asking Jiang Shuang for help.
“My brother was already unhappy that Shi Kuo was so close to Teacher Jiang Shuang. He was also very angry because I was implicated. After school that night, he surrounded Shi Kuo.” Zhou Xiaoyong avoided eye contact.
“What did you guys do?” Huo Chen narrowed his eyes and asked sharply.
“We didn’t do anything! But Brother Qiang heard that Shi Kuo has been playing piano since elementary school. He especially likes the piano and plays it with Teacher Jiang Shuang,” Chen Shuo said with a dry smile.
The expressions of Chi Jiao and the other two changed in unison.
Perhaps to other people, what happened would only have a slight impact on their lives.
However, for someone who loved the piano and had been playing it since he was young, having his fingers broken would permanently damage their dexterity.
To Shi Kuo, it might be a fate worse than death.
