Chapter 2, Extreme Assessment

That evening during self-study class, Wu Jian told Ling Yu some good news: "The president said to wait at the school gate after class, and he will send a car to pick you up. Whether you can pass the assessment afterwards will depend on yourself."

Afterward, Wu Jian took Ling Yu inside for a tour

The most peculiar aspect is that a large area of the four walls and the ceiling above is dark, yet the darkness is uneven. It does not appear to be paint that has been sprayed on, and in many places, the layer of lime has cracked, exposing the bricks and steel bars within the walls

Hehe, that room only has one entrance, with no other exits. The main purpose of the assessment is to see if the candidate has the courage to challenge death by disarming a timed bomb. In reality, that bomb is also fake, but there have been real bombs that exploded in that room before, although that was done to create an illusion. In the assessments, real bombs have never been used.

Arriving at the door of Room 4 on the fourth floor, Ling Yu took a few deep breaths, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door

After several attempts, Ling Yu still could not extract from Wu Jian the reason behind his closeness to Murong Huowu. He felt restless and believed he could no longer passively remain on guard. He decided to take the initiative to investigate and clarify the relationship between Wu and Mu.

Moreover, what is most astonishing is not that the heart of the deceased has mysteriously vanished, but rather that in the place where the heart should have been, there lies a crystal playing card!

5. Lie down, reach into the box from the already removed side, shine a flashlight into the interior of the box, identify the two wires at the bottom of the bomb that need to be cut through the two broken holes, and then cut them with scissors

Second box: sunglasses, gloves, leather jacket, and Pikachu alarm clock

The reason this room has transformed into its current state is due to having been subjected to multiple blasts of explosives in the past; no wonder there is a scent of gunpowder in the air

I am certain that I did not, because I was cleaning at the stairway entrance. Anyone who wishes to go to the office must pass by me to reach the office door. After finishing the cleaning, I locked the iron gate. The director has the key, and if he comes down, he will open the door himself

Ling Yu honestly shook his head, wondering how much a high school student like him could know about matters in the marketplace. He made small talk, saying, "I did hear about a light and shadow toy company when I was a child."

In the final five minutes, Ling Yu finally made the resolute decision of "if I do not succeed, I shall die trying," moving all the items around the bomb and then proceeding with the life-and-death "bomb disposal operation"

After Ling Yu nodded, he continued, "I have mentioned that I am the behind-the-scenes boss and also the CEO of the group. I only need to make overall plans, while the specific operations are carried out by those managers, so I have a lot of free time. I am certainly not attending your school to study; in fact, I am here to scout for talents from the younger generation"

Yes, it was just the day before yesterday

Fourth grid: cross ruler, mobile phone, fountain pen, compass, and Desert Eagle

I chose to transfer to She Ri Middle School because it is a provincial-level school, and I joined all the clubs to start looking for suitable candidates. At the same time, I had my nephew, who is also your deskmate Wu Jian, establish the Mysterious Research Society. The Mysterious Research Society is partly a result of my plan and partly a reflection of my interests; it primarily exists as a talent acquisition point

"Training? What kind of training?" Ling Yu did not wish for the so-called training to be like the earlier assessment, fraught with peril and anxiety. What kind of heart would be needed to endure such a situation?

After you came out, was there really no one who entered the scene

"Investigation? What is being investigated?" Upon hearing the word 'investigation,' Ling Yu immediately became invigorated.

I will speak frankly with you; I have only just met Shui Jing. However, ever since I caught a glimpse of her a long time ago, I have been searching for her. A few days ago, I saw her come this way, but when I chased after her, she had vanished. I suspect she is a member of this place, so I came today to express my desire to join the Mysterious Research Society. As I spoke, I glanced at Murong Shui Jing, and noticed that her cheeks were completely flushed.

However, the first floor of this building surprisingly has no windows. Ling Yu could only find a back door at the rear. In desperation, he had no choice but to crouch down and press his ear against the door panel, hoping to hear a conversation that could unravel the doubts in his heart

Murong Huowu, a girl with a fiery personality, is definitely one who seeks revenge for grievances. However, she has yet to take any action, which has led Ling Yu to even consider giving her suggestions on how to deal with and torment him for maximum enjoyment

Ling Yu nodded in agreement, though in truth, he had not given much thought to work matters. His purpose for this trip was quite clear: to join the mysterious research society

In Xiao Liu's report, it is pointed out that there are no injuries on the skin of the deceased's chest and back, making it completely unclear how the murderer removed the deceased's heart.

What on earth is this place! It can't be a prank, can it!

What is most interesting is that next to the bomb lies a schematic diagram of a timed bomb, accompanied by a manual printed in both Chinese and English, titled:

Third item: a bunch of bananas, a piece of egg sandwich, and a can of cola

I just felt too embarrassed to knock on the door, so I went around to the back, wanting to see if she was there. The voice carried a sense of heartfelt hesitation and anticipation, creating a strong sense of reality; he was even deceived by himself. In that moment, he truly believed he had come here for the water mirror

That means the deceased did not die from cardiac arrest

After the self-study session ended, Ling Yu got into a gray BMW at the school gate and then sped away towards an unknown challenge

The voice fell silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Ling Yu, welcome to the assessment. I am the president of the Mysterious Research Society, my name is Yu Guang. This is the site of the assessment. Are you ready? If you are ready, we can begin with the detailed explanation."

Xiao Liu, what is this report about? Today is not April Fool's Day; what have you written? This is simply a fantasy.

Secondly, since the deceased showed no signs of heart disease, other sudden illnesses, or poisoning, how could they have died from cardiac arrest? A healthy person experiencing such a sudden symptom of cardiac arrest, if not due to the effects of medication, must have been subjected to immense psychological stress; intense fear and profound sorrow fall within this category

Another headache of a case

Ling Yu's deskmate is named Wu Jian. He has a mature short hairstyle styled in a 3:7 part, wears glasses for nearsightedness, is relatively tall and slender, possesses a steady personality, is low-key, and excels academically. This creates a stark contrast with Ling Yu, who is arrogant and has a lazy disposition.

What are you doing here?" With a magnetic and melodious voice, she spoke without moving other parts of her body much.

Murong Shuijing, carrying an easel, appeared to have a high likelihood of being here to sketch. However, when Wu Jian saw her earlier, his expression did not change much, and he did not ask her identity, indicating that he was familiar with her. Therefore, Ling Yu speculated that she might also be a member of this club, like Wu Jian and Murong Huowu.

The fact is this, please allow me to explain. Ling Yu is currently very calm, with a clear mind, and therefore shows no signs of panic whatsoever

It turned out that the sound was coming from a loudspeaker; there was no ghost in the corner. Ling Yu then let out a huge sigh of relief and said, "OK, I am ready."

4. Put on gloves and sunglasses, grasp both ends of the bomb with both hands, and carefully place it on top of the box with force.

I do not know, but I have been working here for over three years and have never seen the director take medication. The director is also in very good health. Six months ago, when his son died in a car accident, he just stood there in shock upon hearing the news. I think if he had a heart condition, he would have fainted.

Since the second time he angered Murong Huowu, Ling Yu has been living in constant anxiety, overshadowed by the fear of retaliation

The most important step is the first one, as the modified box allows Ling Yu to free both hands; the second step adds a layer of security. When placing the bomb on the box, improper force may lead to failure. However, with the leather jacket acting as a soft cushion at the bottom edge, once the bomb is placed down, it can immediately restore the balance of the steel balls through subtle movements. Once the box is on the floor, it becomes stable and cannot make any subtle movements.

Room 4, Floor 4. You can go up by yourself, the driver replied

The Mysterious Research Society, indeed quite mysterious

Having used most of the limited time, he had only searched two walls and found no clues related to the exit. Now, only ten minutes remained, and there were still two walls and the floor left, making it impossible to conduct a thorough inspection.

Ling Yu immediately abandoned the idea of disarming the bomb, quickly walked to the wall, and began to search for an exit by tapping the wall with his handgun

Ah, um, would you be willing to be my painting model

Haha, I succeeded

Is it right here? Ling Yu asked the driver, who had not said a word since the beginning.

My name is Huang Li, I am thirty-two years old, and I am a cleaner here

At that moment, for some unknown reason, the fluorescent lights in the corridor suddenly flickered, and then the white light gradually weakened, resembling an oil lamp about to run out of fuel. ... After weakening to a hazy degree, it began to flicker strangely, shining and extinguishing, extinguishing and shining...

Room 4 on the fourth floor? ... It feels so ... ! ... Why does it seem so much like a haunted house

I mean no harm; I simply wish to have you as a model... Ah, no, as a painting model, because I happened to see you once at school and found you to be very... very aesthetically pleasing, which is why I have always wanted to ask you to be my painting model

However, Shui Jing's attitude was as cold as ice, and she could not be bothered to say another word to him

There are only three of us: I, Shui Jing, and Huo Wu. Huo Wu is a new member.

May I ask your name? Age? And what work do you do here?

Yu Guang let out a quiet sigh, his expression somber, and said: "Let me tell you from the beginning. As you can see, I am a natural dwarf. Heaven has given me a frail body, but it has also bestowed upon me a superior business acumen. I am thirty-one years old this year and am the behind-the-scenes owner of the Light and Shadow Technology Group. Have you heard of the Light and Shadow Group?"

Captain Ouyang, you are aware of my work attitude; I have never submitted a report carelessly. Xiao Liu's face was filled with anxiety. Although it is hard to believe, this is the truth. Look!

Her expression was indifferent, yet her eyes revealed a sense of tension and suspicion, while the knife in her hand remained held steadily.

Within the door appeared the faces of Murong Huowu and Wu Jian

Based on his eight years of work experience, although this case superficially appears to be a typical murder case, there are two points of suspicion that are particularly intriguing

On the afternoon of the second day, forensic expert Xiao Liu, who performed the autopsy on Mao Jin's body, personally delivered the autopsy report to Ouyang Tian's office and then stood by, waiting for Ouyang Tian to review it

At the very least, can you tell me which class you are in?" Ling Yu was just about to continue the conversation when, unexpectedly, the back door opened without warning

Unable to enter through the front door, Ling Yu then circled to the back of the building, hoping to catch a glimpse of the situation inside through the window

Wu Jian and Mu Rong Huo Wu stopped at the door, then Wu Jian pressed the code on the keypad next to the door. After the door opened, the two of them walked inside

The Desert Eagle has been discarded by him as garbage, for he discovered that it was merely a realistic toy water gun

However, after quite a while, no one answered the door, nor did anyone come to open it. Ling Yu called out, yet there was still no response

Haha, once you become a member, you will also need to guide the new members. Do your best

No, the people moving around upstairs are all staff members; guests are not allowed to go to the second floor

A layer of brightness suddenly appeared on Yu Guang's face. He lightly tapped the table with one hand and said with a hint of emotion: "Yes! The predecessor of the Light and Shadow Technology Group was the Light and Shadow Toy Company. It took me five years to help it grow."

Murong Shuijing hesitated, lowering her gaze for a moment before raising it again to look at Ling Yu. Her lips parted twice, yet she still could not bring herself to speak.

"I am sorry... I am not accustomed to being someone else's painting model." Murong and the Water Mirror of the Library gently shook their heads

Second, use a hammer and a large chisel to remove one side of the bottomless box, and then chisel out two fist-sized holes in the top wooden board

Ling Yubin's courteous expression made the girl feel uncomfortable. She shifted her stance, pressed her lips together, and softly said, "I understand"

No, the director is very nice; I have never heard of him having any enmity with anyone

One corner of the bomb is affixed with a certificate of compliance, which states: MADE in USA.

If you can prevent the bomb from exploding, you will pass the assessment. If you wish to withdraw, you can call the only number in your phone's contact list to reach me. Upon receiving the call, I will open the door and let you out. During this time, I will not communicate with you. This is the content and the rules of the assessment, do you understand

Ling Yu was greatly surprised, thinking to herself that the president was probably a rich young man; otherwise, how could an ordinary person have such a large sum of money to fund a club with only a few members

"Xiao Liu, is there anything else?" Ouyang Tian recalled that in the past, the autopsy reports were always brought by other officers on Xiao Liu's behalf. However, this time, not only did he deliver it personally, but he also stayed behind to await questions, which was highly unusual

Subsequently, Ling Yu deliberately ceased to speak, and Murong Shuijing also remained silent, resulting in an awkward atmosphere between the two.

Ling Yu followed the instructions and walked ten steps, and indeed found the wardrobe crafted from black wood. Its color blended seamlessly with the wall, making it quite difficult to notice without the guidance.

The school has many clubs, such as the badminton club and the basketball club, including both public ones and those organized spontaneously by students

The last time I saw you walking over here, I thought you were a member of this club, so I came here to find you. I apologize; my impulsive behavior seems to have caused a misunderstanding.

Seeing Ling Yu with a puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "Aren't you curious why, as the owner of a company, I am still studying in middle school and even have the leisure to start a club?"

Captain Ouyang, I have nothing to say, you may look at the report first. Xiao Liu's left hand was behind his back, as if he was hiding something.

Although the metal surface beneath the steel ball has some shallow grooves to increase friction, lifting the bomb with one hand, as long as the movement is not too large, will not cause the steel ball to slide. However, it is still necessary to free the other hand to cut the wires. The bomb itself weighs over ten kilograms, and relying on just one hand while also having to lift it high above the head to maintain balance is a task that only acrobats could manage.

There is no one in the room, and surprisingly, there are not even basic furnishings. There are no windows, yet it is not a warehouse, as there are no goods to be seen anywhere.

I need to calm down! ... This is just a psychological attack ...

I have just witnessed your talents of both wisdom and courage, and you have also passed the assessment. Therefore, I hereby officially announce that you are now a member of the Mysterious Research Society

From Wu Jian's introduction, Ling Yu learned that this place has already been purchased by the president, and the club is of a private nature, so only those who have the president's approval can join the club

All the windows in the office have been fitted with security grills, and upon inspection, no signs of tampering were found. Therefore, the assailant must have entered through the door to commit the crime, and it is highly likely that the assailant is an employee of the cultural center

Suddenly, a man's light cough came from the corner of the wall opposite, startling Ling Yu, who was trying hard to remain calm, causing his heart to race.

How did Huo Wu manage to get through at that time? What method did she use to find the exit? It couldn't possibly be that she disarmed the bomb, could it? He thought.

Ling Yu, congratulations, you have passed the assessment with your wisdom and courage The voice of Yu Guang sounded again, and as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened by itself Please go to Room 1 on the fifth floor, I will meet you in person

3. Cut the leather jacket open with scissors, lay it flat on the floor, place the box on top of the leather jacket, use nylon rope underneath to address the issue of tilt, and use a cross ruler to confirm whether the top remains level

She is wearing light blue women's jeans, a white long-sleeve T-shirt, and a brown short-sleeve jacket. Her figure is well-proportioned, and she is only slightly shorter than Ling Yu

Hehe, you must have misunderstood. I am not referring to business professionals; there are plenty of such talents in society. What I need are talents in the field of research.

"It's more or less... that's how it is." Ling Yu felt a bit embarrassed

Is it not possible to have other aspirations? Ling Yu does not wish for her life to be inexplicably predetermined

When Ling Yu discovered that the relationship between Wu and Mu had suddenly changed significantly overnight, the sense of impending crisis that had been lurking deep within his heart began to swell even more.

Subsequently, Yu Guang discussed some detailed issues with Ling Yu, such as the necessary knowledge to be acquired after joining the organization, the training programs and their schedules, as well as the contracts to be signed upon qualification, and so on. He then provided Ling Yu with a dedicated anti-eavesdropping phone, a multifunctional watch, a small communicator, and other equipment. Ling Yu was once again astonished, realizing that the organization could offer such advanced gear, which could easily rival that of 007's spy equipment.

As in most cases depicted in ghost stories and horror films, Ling Yu turned the doorknob, only to find it fixed in place—he could not get out now

After thirteen minutes, Ling Yu finished the cola, ate the banana, but did not touch the sandwich, which was filled with mustard and beef, as it did not suit his taste

Well, in a couple of days there will be a task, and I will have her take you along. According to the club rules, all senior members must accompany new members

Ling Yu should have been smiling, but after looking at the bomb's schematic, he found it impossible to smile. This was because the bomb could indeed be disarmed, but not just anyone could do it.

Do the other employees not have keys

After waiting for a few minutes without anyone arriving, Ling Yu began to suspect that he had found the wrong room. He wanted to go out and check the doorplate again, but as soon as he turned around, a chill ran through his entire body, and he froze in place, as if he had been instantly frozen.

What impressed Ling Yu even more was that every student club in the school had its president participating. In the painting club, the president recognized Shui Jing's sharp skills and calm personality, which led to her persuading Shui Jing to join. Later, she also recommended Huo Wu to join, and that is how things unfolded

Oh? Please tell me, what are your aspirations?

At this point, just as Ling Yu had anticipated, she retracted the knife, her face seemingly flushed, resembling a rose blooming in the mist

American products all come with quality assurance, so it seems this bomb will not fail easily either

The specific steps and diagrams are listed below, including which wire to cut first, how to discharge static electricity, and so on. Finally, it is mentioned that the above steps can be completed in just half a minute

As for Huo Wu, she also disarmed the bomb. She lay on the ground with her legs bent and together, then picked up the bomb with both hands and placed it on her knees. One hand supported it while the other hand cut the two wires at the bottom. It did not require much technical skill, but it was commendable courage. Very few girls possess such bravery. "At this point, he gently patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, "I heard from Wu Jian that your initial intention to join the club was to pursue Shui Jing, is that right?" Very few girls possess such bravery. "At this point, he gently patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, "I heard from Wu Jian that your initial intention to join the club was to pursue Shui Jing, is that right?"

This is actually a club

Hehe, because the president is my uncle

At that moment, Ouyang Tian saw Xiao Liu extend his left hand, holding a playing card wrapped in a transparent plastic bag

In order to boost her confidence, Ling Yu wanted to understand the basic situation of the president, so she asked what kind of personality the president had and what his preferences were. Unfortunately, Wu Jian was unwilling to disclose any information. Ling Yu then inquired whether Huo Wu had also passed the assessment.

At that time, did you see any suspicious individuals moving around nearby

It has been a long time since I pursued a girl; his enthusiasm for love is akin to a waking volcano. In a moment of confusion, he failed to consider that there are unresolved grievances between him and Huo Wu, who is also the sister of Shui Jing. If she were to meddle, wouldn't he inevitably suffer the consequences?

Heavens, I never expected her to be so easily embarrassed... Ah, Ling Yu is somewhat overwhelmed; my heart is racing so fast... This feeling...

First, that almanac is clearly the most suspicious, because he claimed that after he finished cleaning, he locked the iron door leading to the corridor, and only he and the curator have the key. This means that no one else could enter the office to kill the victim. Isn't he indirectly admitting that he is the murderer? I have never seen such an honest murderer; at the very least, he would lie to cover it up!

The core of this bomb contains a special device, consisting of a circular iron coil housed within a flat glass cover, with a steel ball placed in the center. The metal surface beneath the steel ball and the circular iron coil serve as the two circuits of the ignition device. As long as the bomb itself moves slightly, causing the steel ball to roll to the edge and make contact with the iron coil, the two circuits will connect, resulting in an immediate explosion. Moreover, the wires of these two circuits are cleverly concealed at the bottom of the bomb; without lifting the bomb, it is impossible to cut them.

Ling Yu, from the moment she entered until Yu Guang invited her to sit, kept her astonished gaze fixed on Yu Guang, as if she could hardly believe that what she was seeing was real

Ling Yu noticed that when he spoke to Wu Jian, Murong Huo Wu displayed an expression of impatience on her face. He understood that she did not want him to join this club, but Ling Yu was not concerned about her feelings. His mind was solely focused on how to get closer to Shui Jing and how to impress Shui Jing.

Ling Yu dashed away at full speed

At this point, Ling Yu had already understood why Wu Jian and Mu Rong Huo Wu had suddenly become close; it turned out they had joined the same club and shared common interests, which naturally facilitated their conversation

This is the crime scene, where a still fresh corpse lies on the office floor

I know, it's just..." Ling Yu appeared utterly embarrassed, timidly glancing at the water mirror, then lowering her eyelids, her hands clasped together.

In this room, there is an exit in addition to the main door. As long as you can find that exit and get out, you will have passed the assessment. However, there is a timed bomb placed in the box in the middle of the room, which will explode in twenty-five minutes. You must leave before the bomb detonates, or you will undoubtedly perish

That afternoon after school, Wu and Mu went downstairs together again, while Ling Yu quietly followed behind them, observing their every move

Shuijing is indeed a member! ... That's great, as long as he also becomes a member, hehe ...

Moreover, many teaching rooms are no longer in use and have been organized into clubs for students. When this decision was first announced, the school invited reporters to cover the story, claiming that the quality education at Shery Middle School has reached an advanced stage.

Wu Jian is not particularly fond of speaking. Although he is not completely taciturn or wooden, his charm with the opposite sex is certainly not as good as that of the eloquent Ling Yu. Consequently, he naturally does not have any close female classmates.

Both legs had gone numb from standing, and the neck ached uncomfortably, yet there was nothing to show for it. Ling Yu couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened. He patted his clothes and stood up, intending to walk around the area again to see if he could uncover any clues.

Could you please leave a contact number? I would really like to be friends with you

Ling Yu listened and finally felt relieved. Since Murong Huowu was able to pass the assessment, he would have no problem at all.

Is it possible that Huo Wu wants to seduce Wu Jian first and then use him to deal with me? ... But ...! ... With her straightforward personality, this shouldn't be her style of doing things

The first floor is spacious, featuring a living room, a study, a conference room, and a lounge. The second floor consists of a document room and a storage area, with a decor style that is both classical and modern

The autopsy report shows significant differences from the scene examination report

Indeed. Yu Guang pondered for a moment and then said: "Of course, I will not let you engage in criminal activities. I will base it on your individual abilities and assign you tasks that are within your capacity to accomplish"

At first, Wu Jian and Murong Huowu headed towards the direction of Cupid Forest. Ling Yu thought they were going there for a secret meeting, but after passing the club area, the two suddenly changed direction and entered a rarely traveled tree-lined path, continuing to walk forward.

Ling Yu, what’s wrong? If you want to refuse me, just say it directly. Are you still afraid of hurting me?

The autopsy report shows a clear discrepancy with the scene report, namely that the deceased did not die of cardiac arrest, as there was no heart present in the thoracic cavity of the deceased

Upon receiving the instructions, Ouyang Tian, the captain of the criminal police team in Huafeng District, arrived at the office of the Historical and Cultural Bureau on Qiuyuan Street with his team

The relationship between the two individuals is akin to that of ordinary desk mates; it cannot be considered a friendship, as they share almost no common interests. Ling Yu enjoys martial arts novels, while Wu Jian asserts that they do not represent true martial arts. Ling Yu likes to chat with girls, whereas Wu Jian believes that students should prioritize their studies.

BMW drove into a remote area and came to a stop beneath an isolated ten-story building

Strangely, the end of this road is the school wall, and in front of the school wall stands an old office building that seems to have been abandoned for a long time. What are they going there for? Surely, a rendezvous doesn't have to be chosen in such a place, he pondered.

In the final eight minutes, Ling Yu began to feel anxious. Despite having set the Pikachu alarm clock, he still frequently glanced at the timer of the bomb. Several times he thought about picking up his phone to tell Yu Guang that he wanted to give up, but the moment he considered leaving, it struck him that it would only prove he was inferior to a girl like Huo Wu. How could he face her again after going back? And how would he ever have the chance or confidence to pursue Shui Jing in the future?

Additionally, in the center of the room, there is an unbottomed wooden box with a side length of approximately one meter, which seems to be covered by something underneath, giving it an air of mystery

However, when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a figure approaching quickly from behind, and was immediately taken aback. Before he could clearly see who it was, he noticed the other person swiftly reaching for his neck with a hand. Instinctively, he raised his hand, intending to grab the other person's hand, but suddenly felt a sharp pain on his neck, mixed with a chilling metallic sensation

Because the deceased's chest cavity does not contain a heart at all

Finally, the countdown of the timed bomb stopped at sixteen seconds

After reading the autopsy report from beginning to end twice, a stiff expression that seemed to want to smile but could not appeared on Ouyang Tian's face

Ling Yu would never doubt that the bomb was a fake, but he still walked to the center of the room, wanting to open the box to see for himself. After hesitating for more than half a minute, he finally carefully lifted the box. Sure enough, underneath it lay a real bomb, with the red countdown timer decreasing by one second at a time.

"President, thank you!" Ling Yu did not expect Yu Guang to be so warm-hearted, and he felt immensely grateful. The awkward image of Yu Guang in his eyes suddenly became endearing.

Sister? That's right! ... Murong Shuijing, Murong Huowu ... ... They are biological sisters, how did he not think of that just now ... ... But why do they feel so different from each other!

She is undoubtedly very beautiful, with long hair styled into a braid, crescent-shaped eyebrows, cherry-red lips, an oval face, long and curled eyelashes, and a pair of eyes as deep and mysterious as the night.

Thank you! Ling Yu suddenly felt that Wu Jian was actually a very nice person. How many members are there in the club now?

First compartment: chisel, hammer, scissors, flashlight, and camera

Please walk ten steps to the left, and open that closet; inside, there are tools you may need shortly

Who was the last person to see the deceased? When did this occur

At this moment, Ling Yu emerged from behind the trees by the roadside. Upon reaching the entrance, he saw a white sign with a line of red characters: Mysterious Research Society

Inside is a very large room, approximately 100 square meters, illuminated by two high-intensity fluorescent lights. The scene revealed under the light made Ling Yu involuntarily gasp in shock

He immediately realized what it was, his eyes widened in panic, and then all actions came to a halt

Half an hour later, Ouyang Tian concluded the routine investigation, then instructed his subordinates to remove the body and bring the key witness back to the bureau for a statement.

Ling Yu suspected that there might be certain mechanisms inside and did not dare to touch them lightly

1. The scissors cut the wires on the outside of the bomb, completing most of the previous steps, leaving only the two wires at the bottom of the bomb to be cut.

Room 1 on the fifth floor is an office, where Yu Guang sits in the office chair behind the desk, with two computers placed on either side of him.

Ling Yu wiped the sweat from his face, then threw the tools in his hand behind him and jumped up in ecstatic joy

Upon closer inspection, the person holding a knife to her own neck turned out to be a girl

Ling Yu has encountered such a situation before, and various questions flood her mind: What is the identity of this girl? Why does she carry a knife with her? Does she consider herself a thief? Is it possible that she would really cut her own throat?

Talent

Ambition ... ... '' Ling Yu instantly regained his spirit, not hiding his true thoughts at all. He said in an impassioned tone: `` I want to be a world-renowned detective ! ''

Why is there no sound at all? Is the soundproofing of the walls particularly good

It's ruined! ... Just now, Huo Wu must have told Shui Jing about my situation ... ... In her eyes, I probably look like a cunning big liar now. ... ... But it doesn't matter, I have the same patience in pursuing a girl as I do in investigating a case, and the most important thing is that I now have a target

Open the wardrobe, which has a total of four horizontal compartments, each containing different items

How can you disarm this time bomb

你将如何拆除这个定时炸弹

"I do not know you, what do you want from me?" She increased the force she was applying to the knife.

Ling Yu's heart was unexpectedly shaken for the first time, feeling quite dizzy

Ling Yu quietly observed for two days, yet still could not discern any clues

The marks on the wrists and neck of the deceased clearly indicate that this is a case of murder

When his thoughts raced, his eyes were not idle; he noticed that she was carrying a small green easel on her back. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he put on an embarrassed expression, saying: "I... I came to find you"

The person before me, who appears to be only 14 years old but speaks like a 30-year-old "young boy," is not only of short stature (estimated to be only 1.55 meters tall), but also quite unremarkable in appearance, sporting an unattractive coconut shell hairstyle. This individual is actually the president of the mysterious research society

It turns out to be a misunderstanding related to books... yet it is a beautiful misunderstanding. Water Mirror, what a lovely name...

However, in the past two days, things have taken an unusual turn; he and Murong Huowu greet each other whenever they meet in the corridor, and after school in the afternoon, the two even agree to go downstairs together.

Ling Yu secretly made a resolution in her heart, and in a moment of daze, she felt as if she had returned to the time of her first love

"Do you not know where the Front Gate is?" Murong Huowu questioned, clearly not believing Ling Yu's nonsense

How did you become the acting president?

Half an hour later, Ling Yu left the mysterious research society, and before departing, he did not forget to inquire about Murong Shuijing's phone number

No, the corridor and office on the second floor are specifically under my responsibility for cleaning, so only the director and I have the keys

After Ling Yu got out of the car, the driver drove the vehicle into the garage. Ling Yu surveyed the surroundings, and in the moonlight, he could see numerous tombstones standing in the desolate land around him, causing a wave of dread to surge within him

It was a beautiful and exquisite crystal playing card, featuring the Ace of Hearts, which appeared particularly bright red and striking, likely due to having been soaked in blood

Yu Guang seemed to have anticipated the expression that Ling Yu would display upon seeing him, and he calmly said: "Here, I must explain to you that the nature of the Mysterious Research Society is equivalent to my private training camp. I am the coach, and you members are all my trainees"

"Lingyu, do you really want to join our Mysterious Research Society?" Wu Jian asked, his expression very serious

Ling Yu's words stem from a genuine desire, as he finds the girl before him to be quite special. It has been a long time since he encountered a girl who made him feel this way, and now that there is one right in front of him, he must seize the opportunity.

My name is Murong Shuijing. The girl said her name somewhat awkwardly

Yu Guang returned to the office and watched as Ling Yu's BMW disappeared into the night. He blinked and then smiled as he murmured, "Since you are so eager to be a detective, perhaps that task is well-suited for you. I look forward to your performance"

Generally, only universities have general association organizations. However, She Ri Middle School has built three additional teaching buildings, establishing a junior high school division and relocating all junior high classrooms to the new buildings. As a result, the original campus has vacated dozens of classrooms, and the expansion of enrollment can only accommodate a few more high school classes, as it is currently difficult to recruit qualified teachers. The twenty-five vacant classrooms are all concentrated in one teaching building, so the principal simply allowed the students to freely organize associations.

Did the deceased have a history of heart disease? Did they have a habit of taking medication regularly?

Do you know that as a company grows larger, the management issues become increasingly serious and challenging? Driven by money, some unscrupulous employees may exploit management loopholes to harm the company's interests. They operate with great skill, and typical internal investigations often fail to uncover any traces. Therefore, I wish to cultivate a group of advanced investigative talents, approaching the issue from a different perspective, starting with young individuals like you.

It is me. During the lunch break, the director asked me to bring him a cup of tea into the office. After I brought the tea in, I came out.

As he was about to leave, Ling Yu could not help but voice his two major questions: "By the way, President, could you tell me where the exit of Room 4 on the fourth floor is? Also, how did Huo Wu pass the assessment last time?"

Of course, I came here today for this purpose. Ling Yu's tone was resolute, and his gaze was unwavering

Yes. President, just wait and see, I will definitely become the best member, and at that time, you must give me a bonus. Haha. Goodbye

Understood. Ling Yu forced a calm smile, then picked up the Desert Eagle; at this moment, only a handgun could provide a sense of security

"Sister, you and this guy..." Murong Huowu frowned

However, all those clubs are concentrated in the two buildings of the teaching area, so why is it that only this mysterious research club is an exception

The iron gate... it does not know when... it closed by itself

My name is Ling Yu. May I know your name? Ling Yu relaxed, allowing her acting skills to be further showcased

However, when Ling Yu saw the old office building, he was quite surprised, as it was not as dilapidated and dirty as he had imagined. On the contrary, it seemed to have been recently renovated, with blue tiles adorning the exterior. The beautifully crafted redwood carved door and the bright brown-tinted glass windows gave it a vibrant appearance. It did not look abandoned at all

Come on, do you think such petty tricks can scare kindergarten children? Ling Yu placed his hand on the doorknob, twisted it forcefully, and a crack appeared in the door. Then, he kicked the door open and rushed in sideways

Well, however, not just anyone can join our club; you must be recommended by a member to meet with our president, and only after a personal assessment by the president can you qualify. I am merely acting as the president, and my authority is limited. Wu Jian said slowly, "Since you wish to join, I will recommend you. You will receive further news tonight."

Ouyang Tian took the crystal playing card, his eyes wide open.

Detective... while Yu Guang was observing Ling Yu, he fell into deep thought. After a while, he smiled and said: "Perfect, now that you have become my subordinate, you will have plenty of opportunities to investigate in the future. I believe you have the potential to become a renowned detective. You can work for me while also pursuing your passion for detective work; there is no conflict in that, as not every day will have investigation tasks, and you won't encounter worthy cases every day, will you?"

Did the deceased have any enemies in their daily life

A faint, pungent odor lingered in the air

The deceased is Mao Jin, the director of the cultural center, aged fifty-seven. The result of the on-site autopsy indicates death due to cardiac arrest, with the time of death estimated to be approximately one hour ago

"Oh? Lingyu, what are you doing here?" Wu Jian was the first to ask.

Hearing this, Ling Yu had already understood the general idea in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, does this mean that we, the members, will no longer have to worry about work issues in the future, because at that time you will arrange for us to work as investigators in your company?"
