Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 43 - Suspicious Persons

43: Chapter 43 Suspicious Persons

43 -43 Suspicious Persons

“Alright, let’s discuss the matter at hand.” Su Hui put on a stern face indicating she had something important to say.

So, Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Lin Xi perked up their ears to listen.

Su Hui continued, “We’ve interrogated the three suspicious men who were stalking Wu Fei and Chen Ying before.

They denied any wrongdoing, stonewalled us, and we currently don’t have enough evidence to connect your classmates’ disappearance to these two.”

Gu Fan immediately asked, “What about the bag?

Wu Fei’s bag was in their possession.”

Regrettably, Su Hui shook her head,”Indeed, the fingerprints on the bag match those of Wu Fei.

However, the three of them insist they found the bag in the ghost house.

This only proves Wu Fei was at the ghost house.

It doesn’t connect Wu Fei’s disappearance to the three of them.”

Unsatisfied, Gu Fan continued to question, “So, what is their background?”

“Checked their background.

They come from different places, used to work in a multinational company.

They were sent overseas, but eventually laid off and returned home.

Now, they are jobless and idling.” Su Hui’s answer did not provide any useful leads.

Gu Fan had initially thought he might find a breakthrough in the disappearance case from these men, it seems like he was back to square one.

Seeing Gu Fan’s worried look, Su Hui added,”However, another thing I found out is that most of the staff in that amusement park, especially in the Ghost House Maze, have been working there for many years.”

“What do you mean, you think there’s nothing wrong with the Ghost House Maze?” Gu Fan was puzzled, that was his only lead.

Assuming there was something wrong with the Ghost House Maze, and its employees were up to something.

But how could they have known that Wu Fei and Chen Ying were coming that day, and had everything prepared in advance?

Moreover, if the employees of the Ghost House Maze really wanted to kidnap Wu Fei and Chen Ying, they have been working there for several years.

It makes no sense that they were waiting for Wu Fei and Chen Ying for all these years.

If the three men didn’t raise suspicion and the employees of the Ghost House are innocent, what exactly happened to Wu Fei and Chen Ying’s disappearance?

“Do you know what I found when I investigated the background of this amusement park?

The person controlling it from behind is a group called Yongxin Group.

And the big boss of this group is a man named Du Changhui, who also happens to be your classmate Du Jun’s father.” Upon hearing Su Hui’s words, the expressions of Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Lin Xi slightly changed, wondering what this could possibly mean.

After a long silence, Gu Fan was the first to speak, “Sister Su, what are you implying?

You can’t possibly be suspecting Du Jun.”

Su Hui simply nodded, “Firstly, who was the one who found the secret room and guided everyone into it?

Secondly, based on the testimonies of several classmates, Sun Yi volunteered to climb the wall because Du Jun wanted to get a drink of wine he discovered they were out of.

In other words, Du Jun also knew about Sun Yi climbing the wall, and he could have alerted outsiders in advance.

Lastly, the Ghost House Maze in the amusement park, because it’s quite popular, most people visiting the park go there.

And if Du Jun knew Wu Fei and Chen Ying were going to the amusement park, he could have informed in advance and asked the amusement park staff to be prepared.”

“Going by what you’ve said, Sister Su, it does sound like Du Jun had the means to commit a crime.” After saying this, Lu Yi gave an uncertain look, and Gu Fan stoically questioned, “What’s his motive?

Du Jun had no grievances with these vanished classmates.

Besides, he’s a rich second-generation, he has no need to do this.”

“Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense.” Su Hui wasn’t very confident either.

Suddenly, Lin Xi made a bold suggestion, “When Du Jun fell into the secret room, we didn’t see clearly what happened.

Then Du Jun climbed out from the secret room.

Do you think there might be a problem with that?”

“You’re suggesting that the Du Jun who fell into the secret room and the Du Jun who climbed out are two different people?” Gu Fan voiced this speculation, a chilling feeling flooded over everyone, the discussion was getting more mysterious.

Gu Fan quickly rejected this theory.

When we returned, Du Jun was still acting superior, still disliked me.

Even if appearance can be identical, behaviours, tone of speech and manners can’t be exactly the same.

Lu Yi also chimed in, “I don’t think it’s possible either.

At that time, Gu Fan and I both saw Sun Yi climb over the wall, and it’s not just Du Jun who knew about Sun Yi going over the wall.

Several other classmates present at that time know about this as well.

We cannot suspect Du Jun just because of this.”

“Don’t forget, who organized your nightclub visit and the electronic sports game.” Su Hui’s words made everyone jump.

The only common denominator in all the current cases of disappearance is Du Jun.

Gu Fan still refused to believe, “Wait a minute, I’m not defending Du Jun, I’m just speaking about the details of the case.

Previously, some classmates suspected me, saying if I hadn’t fought at the nightclub, it wouldn’t have caused a commotion, and Li Xiaoyan wouldn’t have disappeared.

I know what it feels like to be suspected, so let’s not jump to conclusions.”

Lu Yi and Lin Xi nodded in agreement, Su Hui didn’t object, she was just brainstorming, not pinpointing Du Jun.

Suddenly, Lin Xi received a call.

Her face changed completely when she heard the news; Du Jun had dropped everyone home.

It was already dark, and he had taken a newly opened highway.

Unfortunately, his car tire had issues halfway and stopped to check.

Next, he was attacked from behind, as if someone had hit him with a blunt object.

If a homeless man hadn’t happened to pass by, Du Jun might have been stuffed into a van.

“What?

Something like this actually happened?” Everyone was shocked at this news.

Luckily, he wasn’t seriously hurt, although his head was a bit groggy.

That blow didn’t feel good at all.

With this, Du Jun was completely cleared of suspicion.

Why?

Because he had been attacked, and he was also nearly missing.

If he had orchestrated this to clear his name, how could he have known he was suspected?

Su Hui had just started to suspect Du Jun.

Thousands of miles away, could Du Jun know about this, and immediately play out this scene himself?

However, it seems Du Jun was attacked first, then Su Hui’s suspicion came, so this attack was real.

Su Hui has no choice but to overturn her previous assumptions.

She needs to go back to the police station immediately to investigate who attacked Du Jun, hoping for some useful clues this time.

In this matter, Lu Yi and Lin Xi also pinned their hopes on Su Hui.

They only hoped that the consecutive disappearances case could be solved so that everyone could escape from fear and return to normal life.

But Gu Fan wasn’t optimistic.

First, the previous disappearances were well-executed by the other party without being captured by surveillance.

Second, Du Jun took a new highway home this time.

Cameras can’t possibly cover every part of a highway, especially a newly paved one, so the surveillance is limited.

The attackers must have chosen an ideal section.

So, how did the other party know Du Jun was going to take that particular highway?

Unless Du Jun had been using this new route to commute between school and home recently, thus giving the other party an opportunity.

Everything was speculation, still unknown, but Gu Fan felt the closer they got to the truth, the more chaotic it became.

Lu Yi made a blessed gesture, making Gu Fan and Lin Xi chuckle and asked, “Lu Yi, what are you doing?

Please don’t tell me you’re praying for Du Jun.”

“Yes, I am.

He’s the only one who survived.

He might have seen who attacked him, which could give us a clue.” Lu Yi’s words made sense, but when they heard someone attacked Du Jun from behind and gave him a blow, they estimated Du Jun was directly knocked unconscious, not knowing who the attacker was.

At this time, Lin Xi received a text and said, “Du Jun is in the hospital with a mild concussion and needs to rest for a few days.

Should we go see him?”

“No need, as long as he’s okay.

It feels unnecessary to go, and it’s a long way.

He may not appreciate it.” Gu Fan and Lu Yi didn’t get along with Du Jun, so visiting seemed like superfluity.

Since Gu Fan wasn’t going, Lin Xi didn’t go either and said, “Alright then!”

Suddenly, Gu Fan frowned as he thought of something, “Before it was one person disappearing at a time, now it’s two.

After one disappearance, there was a period before another one happened.

But yesterday, Wu Fei and Chen Ying disappeared, and today, Du Jun was attacked.

I feel their actions are accelerating.”

Hearing this, Lu Yi and Lin Xi felt cold, making faces, “Dude, please stop guessing, it’s making me anxious.”

“I don’t want to, but…” Even though Gu Fan told himself he hadn’t been to the secret chamber, hadn’t been cursed, and there was no need to panic, having witnessed so many classmates disappear, he had a premonition.

It felt like he was being dragged in and unable to escape.

Just then, the door was knocked, scaring Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Lin Xi.

Their eyes widened, nervously staring at the door, fearing a crowd of hooligans were ready to storm in.

“Hey, hey, hey, is anyone home?

You guys told me to come over, but no one’s home.

What’s happening?” The complaining voice of Jie outside the door let Gu Fan and the rest sigh in relief.

It was only then that Lu Yi remembered, he had texted Jie to come over for safety.

They got so caught up in the discussion that they forgot to let Jie in.

As soon as Gu Fan opened the door, Jie looked confused, “What took so long?

Weren’t you guys making out or something?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Lin Xi had awkward expressions.

They couldn’t very well say they were scared by Jie, could they?
