“The art teacher had the students choose the paintings drawn by the killers while she hid inside the victim’s paintings. Of the five paintings, there should be one that is painted by her killer.”

Gao Ming memorised the face of the handsome man in the paintings. He appeared to be stalking the art teacher. Gao Ming turned to look behind the art teacher’s self-portraits. Gao Ming’s pupils narrowed slightly. All the backs of the portraits were filled with shocking and dirty words.

The original names of the art teacher’s art had been written off. They were given a new name, Soundless Love.

There was a small line underneath the name, “Due to your appearance, I can hear all the voices related to love in this city.”

“Hand over everything you’ve taken out of the taboo classroom.” The student council finally sealed up Room 2104. They turned their attention to Gao Ming and looked at him with bad intentions.

It was not yet the time to fight the student council. Gao Ming reached into the bag and slipped the purse into his sleeve. “There’s nothing in this bag. Just some paintings.”

“You shouldn’t question us. You only need to follow the rules!” The leading member of the student council snatched the bag. “Do not linger here! Go back to your classrooms!”

The next class was self-study. Without any urging from the student council, the students hurried towards the door. In their hearts, the math building was safer.

“Reality proves that modern people are more suited for rules and regulations.” Qian Junran said confidently, “We shouldn’t explore anything new but follow the rules honestly.” Qian Junran tossed Zuo Jun a look. “The investigation centre believes that too, right?”

Facing Qian Junran’s ingratiation, Zuo Jun didn’t react. Since he was ordered to accompany Qian Junran to the infirmary, he was still wearing his swim trunks under his captain’s uniform.

“Liu Yi, I want to ask you something.” Gao Ming ‘casually’ wandered over to Liu Yi’s side. He pushed the art teacher’s purse to her. “Open it.”

The art teacher’s purse had her parent’s pictures, two bank cards, a volunteer card and a torn disability certification.

“The purse should contain the things that are most important for the art teacher. There is not one bit of blood in her parent’s pictures. I can’t sense any resentment in them. Therefore, she loved her parents a lot. I don’t need to explain how important bank cards are. The things that confuse me are the two other things.” Gao Ming had Liu Yi look at the volunteer card.

“Qiao Jiaojiao?” Liu Yi scanned everything at one glance to prevent attracting too much attention. “The art teacher joined the school’s voluntary program to teach kids with hearing disabilities how to draw. She looks beautiful and has a kind heart. How is she so different after death?”

“Perhaps her kindness was murdered by cruelty.” Gao Ming pointed at the disability certificate. “The certificate doesn’t belong to the art teacher. It belongs to a man. I’ve seen Qiao Jiaojiao’s paintings. A man appeared in all of her self-portraits. He appeared to be tailing her.”

Since the others didn’t pay them any attention, Gao Ming took out a painting from his pocket. He hid it earlier.

Liu Yi’s steps slowed when she saw the man in the corner of the art teacher’s painting. “I know this man!”

“What?”

“Do you still remember the Silent Butcher Case that happened at Han Hai a few years ago?” Liu Yi folded the painting and returned it to Gao Ming. “A mute killed three people and dismembered the corpses. However, due to his mental problem, the lawyers on both sides argued vehemently. He was not given the death sentence.”

“How did he avoid the death sentence?” Gao Ming pondered if there were some behind-the-scene deals.

“It’s not as complicated as you think. One side wanted to deliver him the death punishment, but the other side thought death was too kind for him. Therefore, they wanted to give him a greater punishment.” Liu Yi was a defence lawyer for the deaf and mute, so she knew the case well. “He should be the art teacher’s killer. The killer became comatose at the hospital for some unknown reason. Even now, he is still technically alive. Perhaps we can help the big ghost by killing him.”

“Killing him won’t be enough. We have to kill him before the eyes of the art teacher.” Gao Ming thought to himself.

“You want to bring a comatose person to this school?! That’s too hard.” Liu Yi thought Gao Ming was dreaming.

“No. I want to bring the art teacher out.”

“We might not be able to leave this school ourselves.” Liu Yi walked beside Gao Ming. “Actually, the big ghosts here should have been good people before they died.”

“Why would you say that?” Gao Ming was curious. Humanity was complicated. Their nature wouldn’t be written on their faces. As a lawyer, Liu Yi should know that fact better than he did.

“The PE Teacher immediately removed his jacket and jumped into the pool to save Sisi when he saw how she had fallen into the water.”

“That can only mean that he was following the rules.”

“When all the focus was on Zhou Sisi, I looked through the PE Teacher’s clothes. I found his work ID and a taped confession letter.” Liu Yi put her hands into her pockets. “The PE Teacher’s name is Zhong Long, similar to the teacher who killed himself to prove his innocence a few years ago.”

Gao Ming had some memories of this name.

“A school admin had an unethical relationship with a female student. Zhong Long walked in on them. To retaliate, the school admin framed Zhong Long for harassing his students. Piled on by fake evidence, Zhong Long died in the activity room.

“He chose to kill himself to prove his innocence. When he saw Zhou Sisi fall into the water, he still chose to save her. He didn’t lose his kindness even after he was framed to his death.”

Liu Yi looked over Han Hai’s cases daily. Sometimes, she felt so helpless, but that was why she was a lawyer.

“This school attracts a certain type of big ghost. I don’t know the school’s purpose, but I feel like the school rules aren’t purely evil.” Liu Yi looked at the buildings in the storm. “How can I put this? When the world is consumed by the storm, without these buildings in the shadows, everyone would be drenched.”

“Don’t be brainwashed by the rules.”

“The school rules are scary and bloody, but the rules can confirm the survival of the majority.” Liu Yi turned to Gao Ming, “Either you become part of the rules, or you come up with new rules that can ensure our survival. I have a crazy idea. I want to join the student council and figure out the basic logic behind the running of this school.”

Gao Ming was shocked by this plan. “Do you know how to join them?”

“I saw a method on the cubicle wall of the female toilet.” Liu Yi said uncertainly. “There is a hidden room at this school. It is the student council’s file room. I need to find that room before the lights are turned off at the hostel building and place my own file inside the red cupboard.”
