235: Chapter 235 More Corpses

The instructor also heard the sound and, puzzled, raised his hand to gently knock on the wall.

"What's that sound? Are the tiles loose?"

"Don't move!"

Lin Xiao immediately shouted to stop him.

But it was already too late!

The tiles on the wall began to fall off one by one, and immediately after, cracks appeared in the wall behind them.

The "crack, crack" sound grew louder, and the cracks quickly spread across most of the wall.

The instructor was completely stunned and muttered, "Is this… an earthquake?"

"Earthquake my foot! Run!"

This time, it was Lin Xiao's turn to grab the instructor's shoulder.

He dragged him and ran outside quickly.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone around had started training, and there was no one else in the Restroom.

Just as Lin Xiao brought the instructor out, they heard a loud "boom!"

Good news: The Restroom did not completely collapse.

Bad news: Only the wall that Lin Xiao had sprayed collapsed.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Lin Xiao looked bewildered.

Who was he?

Where was he?

At this moment, Lin Xiao's heart felt just like that half-collapsed wall—hollow, with a hint of dark humor.

The noise here quickly alarmed the people around.

For a moment, everyone forgot about military training and swarmed over.

Seeing more and more people gathering, the instructor stammered, "Did you pee on it?"

This question sounded like an inquiry, a statement, and even more like shifting the blame.

Lin Xiao said calmly, "You were the one who suggested the competition; it's not my fault!"

The instructor looked around, "Do you think they'll believe that?"

"..."

Regarding that, Lin Xiao really had no confidence.

Especially when he saw the familiar, chubby figure running over from not far away, he felt that no matter how he explained it, it would be useless.

But something even more terrifying was yet to come.

The instructor looked at the ruins, as if he had suddenly discovered something, and walked over slowly, "Is this… a corpse?"

Lin Xiao immediately shuddered and hurried over as well.

He saw that in the collapsed ruins, there was a skeleton wrapped entirely in plastic sheeting!

Judging from the position, this skeleton must have been embedded inside the wall before.

Now that the wall had collapsed, the skeleton was exposed.

"Lin Xiao!"

A shout filled with a sobbing tone startled Lin Xiao, who was intently staring at the skeleton.

He turned his head and saw Principal Wei squeezing through the crowd, his legs trembling, looking as if he was about to collapse onto his knees.

Fortunately, a student nearby was quick-witted and caught Principal Wei.

But Principal Wei still had a mournful face and cried out miserably, "Lin Xiao, I beg you, please put away your divine power!"

Heaven knows how many ups and downs Principal Wei had endured in less than an hour.

After finishing his phone call with Lin Chuge, he had finally managed to convince himself.

As a university principal, he shouldn't be so superstitious; he should be scientific.

To strengthen this belief, he had specifically gone to inspect other military training teams.

Looking at the energetic young people, he felt much more at ease.

But he never expected that just as he was about to return to his office after the inspection, this kind of thing would happen again.

His world had collapsed!

"..."

Lin Xiao didn't know how to explain it.

He also felt quite apologetic, but he really hadn't done it on purpose.

With no other choice, he had to interrogate the system in his mind.

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on! If you had told me earlier that this Golden Kidney was more powerful than a high-pressure water gun, I would never have used it like that even if you killed me!"

[Heh, Host, this is an extra bonus I gave you!]

[This way, the school definitely won't force you to do military training again.]

...

Yes, they wouldn't force him to do military training anymore.

They might just drag him straight to a research institute to be dissected.

A kind bystander had called the police in time.

About ten minutes later, the police criminal investigation team arrived.

Seeing that it was Officer Zhang, an old acquaintance, again, Lin Xiao forced a smile as best he could.

"Hi, Officer Zhang, we meet again."

"Sigh."

When Officer Zhang heard that a corpse had been discovered at A University, the first thing he thought of was that Lin Xiao was also at this school.

And he firmly believed that this absolutely could not be a coincidence.

Sure enough, it was just as he had thought.

"Lin Xiao, you know the procedure, let's just start."

Officer Zhang said irritably.

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly and explained in detail how he had gone to the Restroom and how he had competed with the instructor.

To clear himself of suspicion, he specifically emphasized that the instructor had initiated the matter.

The instructor naturally wouldn't lie and immediately admitted it.

But Officer Zhang didn't care about any of this.

If it were just one or two accidents, it might really have nothing to do with Lin Xiao.

But since it happened time and time again, he no longer considered any other factors, because there was really no need.

Lin Xiao was like a protagonist who brought the Grim Reaper with him; no matter who was around, it didn't affect his ability to discover corpses.

"Lin Xiao, how much more do you know about this corpse?"

Officer Zhang asked, pretending to be casual.

Lin Xiao was surprised.

The age of this skeleton was probably older than he was; how could he possibly know?

Even if the system had already told him some general information, there was no need to go around talking about it, lest he be suspected.

Officer Zhang added, "There is a reward for assisting in solving the case."

Fine, just saying a few random things shouldn't make him a suspect, right?

Besides, the police already knew he could do Fortune Telling, didn't they?

In the end, Lin Xiao compromised for money.

"Then I'll give it a try."

He pretended to be hesitant and put on a show of counting on his fingers.

This appearance was about the same as a blind fortune teller setting up a stall on an overpass.

After a while, he sighed softly, "This person has been dead for twenty years."

"Oh?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao could actually calculate it, Officer Zhang immediately perked up.

He called over the Young Police Officer who was taking notes and asked seriously, "How did you figure that out?"

"Of course, I calculated it!"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes in annoyance and continued to put on an inscrutable expression, "The deceased was a hoodlum. Twenty years ago, he got into an argument with someone while playing online games, so they arranged an offline duel. One of the people happened to be the worker who built this Restroom, so they set the location here."

It was the first time the Young Police Officer taking notes had seen a case solved like this. In his astonishment, he hurriedly scribbled in his notebook.

"Later, that worker accidentally killed the hoodlum. To prevent the body from being discovered, he wrapped up the body and walled it inside the Restroom wall... Back then, this was still a new campus, with almost no one coming by, and there was no surveillance, so no one ever discovered it."

"So that's what happened."

Officer Zhang frowned slightly.

Although he had witnessed Lin Xiao's abilities, as a police officer, he certainly couldn't just listen to Lin Xiao's side of the story.

He immediately called over Principal Wei, hoping to try and contact the construction team from that time to see if they could find the murderer.

But Lin Xiao waved his hand, "Don't bother looking; he's dead too."
