Chapter 212 Love murder?Although the dean of studies and the principal were knowledgeable, they had never been exposed to Feng Shui. Li Ying's words left them confused, but they were both smart people and understood the implicit meaning of Li Ying's words, which was that the school was a Feng Shui treasure land, so everyone chose to bury their deceased elders here. Over time, this place became a cemetery, and they asked the descendants of the grave owners to forcibly move the bones of their ancestors in the tombs, which not only caused dissatisfaction among the descendants of the grave owners, but also prevented the deceased from resting in peace. The dean of studies and the principal had mixed feelings, and they both looked at Li Ying eagerly. "We don't have the ability to buy land and build a school. We are just hired to teach. We eat the salary of the master and share the worries of the master. We are the leaders of the school. We have to share the safety, danger, honor and disgrace of the school. We must be responsible for every student in the school and make every student go to school happily and return home safely." Li Ying looked at the principal with appreciation, thinking he was a good and responsible principal. "You are a responsible principal. Your ideals are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. You still put your students in panic and danger." "We have tried our best to find a solution." said the principal. "The school has been established for several years and there was no trouble before. Why did it break out now?" asked the dean of studies puzzled. Li Ying said: "I'm not a deity, so I don't know." The Dean of Studies stared at Li Ying and said, "You reminded me last night not to look back and not to respond casually no matter how others called me. You are an extraordinary person, how could you not see the strangeness in this?" "You think too highly of me." Li Ying said.
The dean asked, “Can you solve it?” "I just enrolled yesterday and haven't even walked around the school, so how can I know where the problem lies? But it's better not to plant locust trees on the hill behind the school." The principal asked, "Why?" Li Ying replied: "The word 槐 (槐树) means ghost when separated from the word 槐 (槐树), which is a yin wood. The school used to be a cemetery, so it is a cold and gloomy place. Planting a 槐树 in a cold and gloomy place is just courting death." The dean of studies and the principal looked at each other in bewilderment. They only knew about planting trees to green the environment, but had no idea there were so many taboos. "The survival rate of locust trees is high. They can survive without much management after planting. We didn't know that locust trees are yin trees and have so many taboos." said the principal. "Some teachers have reported that some students have heard crying sounds coming from the locust trees recently. I will go cut down the locust trees tomorrow to prevent the students from being harmed." said the dean. "Cut it down!" the principal agreed helplessly. "Principal, Principal, something has happened." A young man rushed into the principal's office and said in panic, "Principal, someone has hanged himself in the locust tree forest on the back mountain." The principal was horrified, stood up suddenly, and asked nervously: "Who, who hanged himself?" "It was Tan Wen, the English teacher of the senior class. She was hanged in a locust tree forest." the young man replied. The principal's body shook. Another death. In just half a month, another haunting. Three more deaths. If this continues, what will happen? How will the school continue? The young man is a new history teacher named Sun Cheng. He came to this school because of its good environment and high salary. Now strange things are happening one after another in the school, and people have died one after another. He regrets entering this school. The principal looked at Li Ying and said, "Let's go and take a look together!" "Sure!" Li Ying said indifferently. The principal and the dean of studies walked in front. They met a few teachers on the way, and they followed them towards the back mountain. Everyone came to the locust tree forest and walked to the place where Tan Wen hanged herself. There were several students standing not far away whispering. When they saw the principal and others coming, they stopped talking. Li Ying saw Li Xue standing with several students and a hint of surprise appeared on her face. When did Li Xue come to Beijing? When Li Xue saw Li Ying, she was also surprised. They just looked at each other and no one came forward to say hello. The principal and the dean saw a woman in white clothes and disheveled hair hanging from a tree from a distance. When they got closer, they saw Tan Wen hanging from the tree with her eyes wide open and her tongue hanging out. They were so scared that they took two steps back. The other teachers were also very frightened and did not dare to look at Tan Wen's body. The principal's face was pale, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who found the body?"
A handsome male student took two steps forward and said in a trembling voice, "Principal, I saw it." The principal asked, "What time did you see the body?" The boy shuddered and said, "I forgot to bring my watch. I also don't have a cell phone, so I don't know the exact time." "But as soon as the sun rose, I got up, washed up quickly, and went to the back mountain with my books to read. I estimated that it was around seven o'clock." Li Ying approached Tan Wen's body, staring at the rope around her neck. She narrowed her eyes and said to the principal, "Principal, this is murder. Let's call the police and let them handle it!" The principal asked in shock: "How do you know it was murder and not suicide?" "As soon as we saw the position of the rope, we knew that the deceased did not commit suicide." Li Ying said, pointing at Tan Wen's neck. The principal, the dean of studies and other teachers plucked up their courage and looked at Tan Wen's body. After looking for a long time, they still couldn't make out anything. "Everyone knows that when a person dies by hanging, his tongue will stick out. Tan Wen's tongue was also sticking out very long, and it was obvious that she died by hanging," said the dean. Li Ying said, "Director, if the rope is tied above the Adam's apple, the tongue will usually press against the upper palate and the tongue will not be unable to stick out. Look at the rope hanging around the deceased's neck. Is it above the Adam's apple?" The dean of studies approached Tan Wen's body tremblingly. Suddenly, a strange wind blew and Tan Wen's body shook. Because the dean of studies was too close, the body touched him. He was scared and screamed "Oh my God!". His body involuntarily leaned back to avoid being touched by the body. He lost balance and fell backwards uncontrollably. Li Ying quickly grabbed the dean's hand, and the dean used the force to stand up straight. He breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. Fortunately, he did not fall in front of the teachers and students, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing. He looked at Li Ying with gratitude. The principal took a closer look and saw that it was just as Li Ying said. The rope was above Tan Wen's Adam's apple, and there were blue marks below her Adam's apple. Li Ying looked at Tan Wen's face carefully. She had thick eyebrows that formed a straight line near her forehead. Her cheekbones were slightly high and her chin was slender. She was a beautiful woman. The principal asked nervously, "What else do you see?" Li Ying said: "She has a very complicated relationship with men and women..." "Ah!" The principal was stunned! Tan Wen did have ambiguous relationships with several male teachers in the school, but since it did not affect teaching, he turned a blind eye to it. When the principal thought of this, he was suddenly shocked. Could it be a murder of passion? Finished! Finished! The school's reputation was already in jeopardy, and with another murder of passion, its reputation was completely ruined.
