Chapter 132: Piano Sounds in the Piano Room
"For money, that's understandable."
In the society at that time, the money this teacher earned from teaching might not be enough to cover his own expenses.
Gu Chaoxi stood up on his knees and came to the head teacher's desk again.
When I was looking for clues in this office before, my search was too superficial.
She now wanted to see, is it true that there was no record left after doing such a thing?
So far, the information revealed by this world has basically come through records.
She didn't believe it...
It took her a while to find them, as there were some messy exercise books and lesson plans on the desk.
But what is written in these lesson plans is perfectly normal.
Gu Chaoxi lowered his head and opened the drawer, revealing a stack of notebooks that looked a little tattered when knocked.
Maybe it's because it has been recorded too many times, and the edges are a little damaged.
I picked up a book at random and flipped through it roughly. It was filled with scattered records of some teaching situations and occasional essays.
It looks like, maybe we can really find the inner monologue of this head teacher in it?
So, Gu Chaoxi took out all the notebooks in the drawer.
Pei Yan had already flipped through the books in more detail in the office. He walked over and picked up the top one with a slightly frown on his face.
"Is there anything in here?"
"Essay, how about taking a look?"
Anyway, it’s not lights-out time yet, so I can still stay in the complex building for a while.
She picked up a book and flipped through it. Suddenly, she tilted her head, lowered her eyes slightly, and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Seeing her like this, Pei Yan couldn't help but look towards the door.
"What's wrong?"
He asked quietly.
After a moment, Gu Chaoxi shook his head.
The sound was far away and did not come from the complex building. It had a rustling sound like wind, and she was not sure what it was.
"fine."
She still didn't say anything about things she was uncertain about.
I flipped through several books in a row, but didn't see what I wanted to see.
Gu Chaoxi sighed. Could it be that her guess was wrong?
"Chaoxi, look at this."
Pei Yan handed over a book, which he had opened halfway, and which was covered with dense handwriting.
This is?
She reached out to take it and took a look. There were two words written on the top: Shen Family.
She frowned and looked down carefully. Sure enough, it was something related to the fire.
"I think the Shen family will be punished for doing this, but I'm really short of money."
"There is a price to pay for taking human life lightly."
It seems that the fire was not an accident, but more like an attempt to cover up some unknown truth.
However, he doesn't seem to have written it all out here.
Continuing to look down, Gu Chaoxi saw two names written on the paper.
Zhou Weiyi, Zhou Jianren.
The two names were circled and a cross was drawn next to them.
"Will the Shen family's biological daughter be abandoned?"
It seems to be a nonsensical sentence, but it is written under two names.
Gu Chaoxi looked up and saw Pei Yan staring at her.
"Is she really the daughter of the Shen family?"
But if that was the case, what was the reason that made the Shen family abandon her and asked her to change her name?
Everything was like a tangled mess lingering in the minds of the two.
Pei Yan shook his head: "She may not be the biological daughter of the Shen family. Maybe she is borrowing this identity."
She was silent for a moment and nodded.
Pei Yan was right. If she was the biological daughter of the Shen family, how could Shen Anguo not recognize her?
No one would write a love letter to their own sister, right?
In this case, Zhou Jianren’s true identity is worth discussing. In other words, who is behind Zhou Jianren?
There seemed to be a howling wind outside the window.
Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes, tidied up the notebook in his hand, and put it back into the drawer.
Pei Yan didn't ask anything, but just watched her movements and took two steps towards the door.
"We're going to the complex now."
"Dingle bell bell bell..."
The midnight bell had already rung. The two looked at each other, opened the door and stepped into the corridor.
A dim light flickered overhead, and a gust of cold wind blew past from time to time behind.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to grab Pei Yan's forearm, but was pinched by his other hand and moved downwards.
The two held hands together.
Pei Yan's palm was warm, and that hand easily wrapped around Gu Chaoxi's hand.
He tilted his head, as if he knew she was confused.
"This makes it easier to advance and retreat together."
As he said this, he squeezed Gu Chaoxi's palm.
"Yeah." Pei Yan was right. She nodded and followed him downstairs.
The lonely campus late at night seems to be filled with strange shadows everywhere.
While walking towards the piano room, Gu Chaoxi suddenly looked back.
The teaching building where they had classes was right behind them. At this moment, a dim light was burning on both sides of the dark corridor, seeming to be reaching deeper into the hallway.
It looked like the teaching building was like the devil's mouth, waiting to swallow them up at any time.
She turned around and moved closer to Pei Yan.
Even though her mind was telling her not to be afraid.
But the chill from the soles of her feet still made her heart beat fast.
Feeling Gu Chaoxi approaching, Pei Yan pursed his lips and moved closer to her unnoticeably.
Compared to the dim lights in the teaching building, the lights in the corridor here can be considered extremely bright.
The lights above were bright, illuminating the entire corridor.
However, the more this happens, the more it feels wrong.
Before they got close to this floor, a melodious tune came into their ears.
No need to think, this is the piano music coming from the piano room late at night.
Each syllable seemed to be pressed very heavily. Although it was a melodious tune, it made people feel like a stone was pressing on their chest.
"Be careful."
Pei Yan whispered and tilted his head, and the two of them walked step by step towards the piano room.
As we approached the piano room, the lights suddenly came on.
Light sneaked out from the windows and sprinkled on the corridor, forming a series of lines and frames.
Gu Chaoxi pursed her lips and slowly looked into the piano room.
Sitting on the chair next to the grand piano was a girl in a blue school uniform.
Her face was looking in another direction, leaving them with only her slender back.
Gu Chaoxi frowned, and before he raised his hand to touch the door, the door opened with a clang.
The strong wind blowing in her face made her subconsciously raise her hands to cover her eyes.
It seemed as if some force was sucking people inside. She put down her hands, raised her eyes and saw the person on the chair turned his head back.
A pale smile bloomed on his bloodstained face.
But Gu Chaoxi saw clearly that it was Zhou Jianren's appearance as described in the information.
The man raised his hand, and something invisible seemed to come from the wind.
Gu Zhaoxi turned sideways, raised his hand and pushed Pei Yan back: "Be careful!"
Something pushed up under his feet, and Gu Chaoxi stumbled and fell straight into the house, and the door closed with a bang.
"Chao Xi!"
