Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Strange Behavior_1
Both girls seemed quite normal.
One was plain-faced, wearing jeans, and sneakers, tied up in a ponytail and a mid-length, light green down jacket.
The other was slightly made-up, wearing a knitted long skirt and a short, maroon down jacket.
Both girls followed Teacher Yang, with somewhat nervous expressions and timid eyes, seemingly afraid.
Teacher Yang, after being introduced by Director Liu, greeted Qin Sisi and Ning Hao in turn, then stood quietly aside. Naturally, the two girls stayed silent standing behind their teacher.
Director Liu stood up and said to Ning Hao, "Officer Ning, let me show you around our campus."
Ning Hao guessed from Director Liu’s arrangement that there might be something not easy to talk about, hence Director Liu’s attempt to separate men and women.
Therefore, Ning Hao followed his lead and stood up, saying, "Okay."
The two men left the office one after another.
Before leaving, Director Liu turned back to Teacher Yang and said, "Teacher Yang, please talk things over with Miss Qin, she can definitely help."
Teacher Yang nodded gently and replied, "I understand."
Director Liu finally left with peace of mind, ensuring the anti-theft door was properly shut.
After the two men had left, Qin Sisi also had a vague idea of what was going on.
Seeing Teacher Yang and the two girls standing there, she said, "You all take a seat and we will talk slowly."
"Okay," responded Teacher Yang, leading the two girls to sit opposite Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi initially turned to Teacher Yang and said, "Teacher Yang, why don’t you go first."
Teacher Yang nodded. Although she did not know why Director Liu would ask for the help of a young girl, the leader should have a reason. All she had to do was assist from the side.
Anyway, no matter who was asked for help, solving the problem as soon as possible was the main thing.
Teacher Yang took a moment to recall the situation that day, then slowly explained, "The female student is named Xie Kexin. Three days ago, early in the morning, Lu Xiaoying called me saying that Xie Kexin had fainted in her dorm. I rushed over immediately."
At that time, Xie Kexin wasn’t wearing any clothes. I first dialed 120 [emergency number], then helped her put on clothes with the two of them, and also called Xie Kexin’s parents.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately conducted a series of tests on Xie Kexin, but all results showed that there was nothing wrong with her body.
By noon, Xie Kexin’s parents arrived at the hospital, extremely agitated. It took me a long time to calm them down.
However, after two days, seeing Xie Kexin still unconscious, her parents started to worry again. They criticized the doctors for being useless while demanding an explanation from the school, threatening to sue the school for poor management."
At this point, there was a deep sense of helplessness in Teacher Yang’s voice.
The incident was unexpected, and both the school and the teachers hoped that Xie Kexin would wake up soon and return to good health.
But the hospital couldn’t determine the exact cause of the illness, leaving everyone helpless in the situation.
The progression of the incident was largely clear through Teacher Yang’s narrative. The whole event was not complicated, but what was perplexing was the cause of the incident.
Recalling Director Liu’s comment about the girls who shared a dormitory with Xie Kexin providing some clues, Qin Sisi turned her gaze to the two teenage girls sitting beside Teacher Yang.
Understanding Qin Sisi’s intention, Teacher Yang promptly introduced, "These two are Xie Kexin’s roommates. This is Lu Xiaoying."
Teacher Yang indicated the girl with the ponytail, then pointed to the girl with the long hair, "This is Chen Jialei."
Qin Sisi nodded and turned to the two girls, "Earlier Director Liu said you could provide some clues. Can you tell me anything?"
Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei looked at each other, both deeply worried.
After some hesitation, Lu Xiaoying said in a stuttering voice, "We... only heard a little that it seemed like... but we can’t confirm."
Chen Jialei also followed up, "Yes, we were half asleep at night, we’re not sure if what we heard is correct."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Sisi realized that the two girls were probably afraid of getting into any trouble over Xie Kexin’s incident, which caused their hesitation.
Thus, Qin Sisi said gently, "Just tell me whatever you know, I will still carry out investigations in other areas before I make a judgement."
Teacher Yang also chimed in with reassurance, "Don’t worry you two, only Director Liu and I are aware of this, and it will not go beyond that. You are both Xie Kexin’s roommates and good friends, surely you’d also want her to wake up early, correct?"
Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei exchanged another look and then nodded slightly.
Lu Xiaoying was the first to speak, "During this period, Xie Kexin was acting a bit strange while sleeping."
Qin Sisi followed up, "Strange how?"
Lu Xiaoying opened her mouth, but couldn’t say anything, her face looking quite embarrassed, as if it were too difficult to say.
Chen Jialei took over and said, "Let me speak. A few days back, Xie Kexin would make strange sounds in her sleep... it was as if... as if she was... with a man, doing that sort of thing."
As Chen Jialei spoke, her face turned red. Lu Xiaoying sitting next to her was even redder.
After listening to them, Qin Sisi understood why Director Liu said it was hard for him to speak, and why Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei weren’t straightforward with their answers.
Qin Sisi pondered a moment and then asked, "Does Xie Kexin have a boyfriend?"
"No," Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei replied in unison, their voices firm, which surely meant the truth.
Qin Sisi thought for a while and then asked, "Have any other strange things occurred in your dorm?"
Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei thought for a while, then slowly shook their heads.
Ye You meowed a few times in Qin Sisi’s arms.
The attention of Teacher Yang and the two girls was drawn. Although they thought the cat was cute, they didn’t quite agree with Qin Sisi’s actions of bringing a pet along for official business.
Seeing their disapproval from their faces, Qin Sisi didn’t feel the need to explain anything, she simply stroked Ye You’s back a few times. Then, following Ye You’s guidance, she asked Lu Xiaoying and Chen Jialei again, "How long has Xie Kexin been showing strange behavior while sleeping?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaoying replied, "About a week."
Chen Jialei also nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Qin Sisi continued with her questions, "How many of you live in the dorm?"
Lu Xiaoying answered, "Four in total. But one of them lives in S City, so she usually stays at home. Normally it’s only the three of us."
