Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Simply Unmovable

Gu Lili’s expression turned grave, "To think such a thing has happened, did the surveillance really not catch any issues?"

"Not a single one. The dorm mates of those male students said everything was normal when the victims were sleeping; there was nothing unusual. But after everyone fell asleep at night, the victims’ behavior started getting strange. They kept heading towards the lake on campus, and then they’d die. On two consecutive nights, our police force kept watch by the lake and when we found the third victim appearing dazed, we tried to pull him back, but just couldn’t; he was as heavy as if he weighed a ton. It’s all too mystifying and frightening."

"Then there is definitely a problem. I’ll come with you to the university to take a look."

"We should hurry then, and set up a plan to coordinate with you."

"Okay, just wait for me, I need to change into plain clothes."

"Got it."

Gu Lili ran upstairs, changed into a sporty outfit and sneakers. She tied her hair up high, grabbed a backpack, and went downstairs.

Long Yubei instructed, "Call me if anything happens."

"Alright."

She gave him a hug and left.

...

She didn’t take a police car, driving her own car to the police station instead.

Upon arrival, Ma Shijie and other officers in charge of the case explained the details to her, including photos of the deceased and surveillance footage.

After reviewing them, she could almost confirm, "There may be something unclean involved. Since the three victims don’t know each other and have no connections, it’s possible that the selection of victims is random. Wait, I’ll disguise myself as a male university student and go into the university to check out the lake first. Principal, please have someone look into the archives of people who have died in that lake before—it’s very important."

"Okay."

Gu Lili went to buy a male wig cap and had a makeup artist give her a makeover to look like a male student. Her white sports outfit was already suitable, so she didn’t need to change.

Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Lili was quite pleased. She took a selfie and sent it to Long Yubei with a text: [Just changed into my outfit, do I have the potential to be your favorite?]

His quick reply came: [You have the potential to invite me to investigate you.]

Her face flushed red, she put the phone in her pocket, and headed to A City University.

After greeting the security room, she parked outside the main gate.

Getting out of the car, she headed straight for the lake.

The lake was originally a place where many couples lingered after classes, but it seemed the murder case had already quietly spread across the school.

When Gu Lili arrived, she saw few students hanging around.

She walked around the lake, naturally placing her hands in the pockets of her track pants.

After strolling around, Ma Shijie called her, directing her to the university’s academic affairs office where the archives of past deaths in the lake were kept.

Without lingering, she went to learn more about the situation.

"Miss Gu, our university has been around for over a hundred years now, and to date, there have been 136 deaths here."

She took the archives from the Principal and carefully flipped through them, committing each of the deceased’s photos to memory.

These records, she only needed to read them once to remember almost everything.

"Principal, the police will come later and request your cooperation. They will explain the specifics to you, please ensure that tonight, after dark, no students leave the dorms. This is very important. I’ve seen the police surveillance footage; three victims have died consecutively, and there are still students from your school wandering out at night. The management is lacking."
