273: The Real Murderer

The Real Murderer

2Liu Hanxiang wasn't nice, but despite her terrible behavior, she was not a bold girl. 1

Back at the pitch where County Princess Anxi suggested to Huo Wei and Liu Hanxiang that they should become her scapegoat. Only Huo Wei dared to do it whilst Liu Hanxiang turned it down.

A person like that would not take the risk of drugging her roommate. Also, she wanted to enter Saint College very badly.

Gu Ruxue, on the other hand, was much more related to this murder.

She patted Li Yuanxiang's shoulders and said briefly as she saw Li Yuanxiang's wondering face, "Don't put too much thought into this matter. Saint College will look into this matter and we will know the truth at that time."

Li Yuanxiang relished her words and agreed. She nodded. "Then I will go back to my room now."

Gu Chaoyan smiled and suggested that she should leave first.

Gu Chaoyan started to walk towards her room and as she was about to step inside when Sword One rushed back, looking gloomy.

Gu Chaoyan suspected that something must have gone wrong. Instead of saying anything more, she opened the door, let Sword One in and then asked. "What is it? Where have you been?"

She had been a bit confused by what happened just now. So she had not noticed that Sword One had been missing all this while.

After spending so much time with Gu Chaoyan, Sword One understood what she was like. She was an easy-going lady who did not pay much attention to the class difference. So Sword One poured herself a cup of tea first before getting Gu Chaoyan one too. She finished the tea and then narrated slowly, "You were gone for a long while, so I decided to check out what happened. However, the moment I opened the door, I saw a creepy figure sneaking around not far from here. I started to run after that figure, but he was too fast and skilled for me to catch up. That was why I returned to the room instead."

Sword One was still panting. She was truly exhausted. She might not be the most skilled person in martial arts in Shadow Door, and she had not beaten someone for a long while. However, she had not expected that she would have run into someone who was so much better than she was here at Saint College.

What a mysterious Saint College! Always full of surprises.

Sword One had not thought through the whole experience when Gu Chaoyan continued. "Liu Hanxiang's roommate was drugged, seriously drugged. If not for my pills, she would have dropped dead. Could your experience and this incident have been related somehow?"

What?! Sword One looked totally surprised, then seriousness dominated her face. If the conjecture had been true, what was the cause?

Who did this and for what purpose, honestly?

The two of them were both shocked. Suddenly, the sound of knocking arose, ripping into the quiet room. Even Gu Chaoyan got startled. She exchanged a quick look with Sword One who asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

"It is me." That was the teacher from the Medical Department.

Gu Chaoyan recognized the voice, so she got up and was about to open the door, when Sword One stopped her. Too many strange things had happened for Sword One to drop her caution. She had to do anything to keep her miss from being hurt.

She cautiously opened the door.

It was the teacher who was standing at the doorstep with a smile. "Lady Chaoyan, could I bother you with some questions?"

"About Liu Hanxiang or the drugged girl?" Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.
