Chapter 94: Grandma is Annoying!

Li Yu sat on a protruding rock, basking in the sun and listening to music.

As long as he wasn't in class or talking to someone, he liked to put on headphones and listen to music. It seemed that doing so could isolate him from the outside world. Strangely, his roommates Tang Zhong, Hua Ming, and Liang Tao from Room 307 had never heard him sing, not even a vague hum.

Every afternoon, when Hua Ming and Liang Tao followed the dormitory computer, screaming their lungs out with "How many people once admired your youthful beauty, but who would bear the ruthless changes of time" or "I wish I could return to a distant place and be by her side," he would just smile faintly and be a serious listener.

He was the first to notice that Zhou Wei had returned. When he saw the several police officers with wary faces following Zhou Wei, he adjusted his glasses thoughtfully.

"Zhou Wei is back," Li Yu said.

"So what if he's back?" Liang Tao said indifferently. "Is he still not giving up?"

"He can't even compete with Liang Tao, let alone compete with our No. 2 for a girl. He's not bad, just too stupid," Hua Ming said bluntly.

Liang Tao punched him and cursed, "Bastard, are you praising me or cursing me?"

"There are also police officers," Li Yu said.

At this, Hua Ming and Liang Tao both sat up with a start. If the police were here, it meant the situation had escalated.

Zhou Wei said something to the leading black-faced police officer, and then they quickly ran over.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and Li Yu were surrounded by them, as if they were afraid they would run away.

"Zhou Wei, what are you doing?" Liang Tao glared at Zhou Wei and shouted. He thought Zhou Wei had done something to the police, making them come here.

He never thought about the possibility of murder—how could he think of such a thing?

"These are Tang Zhong's roommates, Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and Li Yu," Zhou Wei introduced to the black-faced police officer.

After that, he answered Liang Tao's question, saying, "Liang Tao, these are all police officers. They suspect that your roommate Tang Zhong has committed murder."

Hua Ming was furious and cursed, "Zhou Wei, I believe you if you say our No. 2 stole a woman. I saw that little girlfriend of yours eyeing him. Maybe they've already slept together. Murder? Murder who?"

Zhou Wei was also angry and said, "I didn't say it. What's it got to do with me? Clean your mouth."

"What if I don't?" Hua Ming was convinced that Zhou Wei was up to no good, trying to plot against Tang Zhong and bring people to ruin his good thing.

For something like Tang Zhong committing murder, Zhou Wei and the others might believe it, and they might even be happy to believe it. But as roommates who knew Tang Zhong, Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and Li Yu could not believe it.

Who would kill someone out of boredom? Are they crazy?

In their hearts, Tang Zhong was a top-notch smart person and would not make such a mistake.

"Shut up," the black-faced police officer shouted loudly. "He called the police himself, and the body has already been found. You, you, and you, since you are his roommates, come with us to identify the body. If he gets too emotional, help us calm him down."

Tianyi Temple was at the top of Yvnü Peak, which was high and steep. If Tang Zhong got too emotional or resisted arrest, having his roommates help calm him down would be very useful. Otherwise, if he got too excited and jumped off the mountain, things would become even more complicated.

"Let's go up and see," Hua Ming said.

"I don't believe No. 2 would do such a thing," Liang Tao said. "Is this a movie?"

Hua Ming glanced at Zhou Wei and said disdainfully, "Just by looking at his smug face, you can tell this isn't a movie. He's genuinely happy."

"Son of a bitch," Liang Tao cursed.

Li Yu quickened his pace and said to Hua Ming and Liang Tao, "Be mentally prepared."

"You little brat," Liang Tao was angry. "You also think No. 2 killed someone? He's always been good to you."

"Liang Tao," Hua Ming pulled Liang Tao, signaling him not to get angry. Then he looked at Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, do you think No. 2 might be in trouble?"

"It's already happened," Li Yu said calmly.

Hua Ming and Liang Tao exchanged glances and stopped acting on impulse, carefully considering the strange aspects of the situation.

The police were eager to go up the mountain to arrest the murderer, and Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and Li Yu were worried about Tang Zhong's safety. Zhou Wei was eager to see the show. The long mountain path, which seemed impossible to reach, was quickly conquered by them.

When they reached the entrance of Tianyi Temple, the black-faced police officer waved his hand and shouted, "Stop."

He pointed at Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and the others and said, "Wait here at the entrance. No talking."

He then pointed at four police officers and said, "You come with me. Be careful. Take him down quickly when he's not on guard."

"Yes," the four police officers replied softly.

He pointed at another police officer and said, "Control the old Taoist at the entrance. He might know something."

"Go in," the black-faced police officer waved his hand, waiting for the four subordinates to go in before following behind.

Leaders always walk at the back to maintain control.

They carefully and quietly walked through the gate to the back of the temple.

They saw the suspect, a young man and woman tightly hugging each other, silent and seemingly asleep.

When they were about to make a move to capture the suspect, the suspect opened his eyes.

"Are you here?" Tang Zhong said, as if greeting a guest at home.

The black-faced police officer and his subordinates looked at each other.

Should they answer "We're here" to be polite?

Is this young man really the murderer?

He just killed someone, how can he be so calm?

Their colleague had called to say the body below was gruesome. But after seeing the suspect's face, they couldn't imagine him doing anything "gruesome."

The black-faced police officer stared at Tang Zhong and asked, "Are you Tang Zhong?"

"I am Tang Zhong," Tang Zhong nodded.

"Did you call the police?"

"I called the police."

"Did you kill someone?" the black-faced police officer asked, worried if there was a mistake. A student from Nanjing University, does he need to kill someone?

"I was defending myself. He was an assassin. He wanted to kill me," Tang Zhong said.

The black-faced police officer gestured to a police officer behind him, signaling him to quickly go out and call in Tang Zhong's roommates.

This guy is too calm, calm to the point of being scary.

Worse still, he has a hostage in his hands.

And now he and the hostage are sitting on the edge of a cliff, and a slight misstep could mean a fall.

"Tang Zhong, since you called the police, it shows you recognize your mistake."

"I didn't do anything wrong," Tang Zhong said. "I just came to enjoy the view. He suddenly tried to kill us. I had to defend myself."

"We will definitely investigate the truth. You must trust us, the police. We won't wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

Tang Zhong laughed.

He was too familiar with these lines.

In the past, he thought these lines would only be used in movies and TV shows. He never thought real police would say them. Only an idiot would believe it.

Seeing Tang Zhong smile, the black-faced police officer became even more cautious.

"This guy has excellent psychological resilience, he's a pro," he thought to himself.

"Tang Zhong, I believe you are willing to cooperate with us to investigate the truth. Now, hand over the girl in your arms, and come with us to explain the situation. Okay?"

Seeing them carefully ask to take Qiu Yihan away, Tang Zhong finally realized that they thought he had kidnapped Qiu Yihan and was using her as a hostage.

Hua Ming, Liang Tao, and Li Yu quickly ran in, and seeing Tang Zhong covered in blood, they were all shocked.

Wasn't it just a trip to enjoy the view? How did it get so serious?

"Second, what's going on?" Hua Ming shouted.

"Second, they say you killed someone. Is that possible?" Liang Tao said anxiously.

Li Yu just frowned at the scene and didn't say much.

The black-faced police officer managed to force a smile and said, "Look, you have so many classmates who care about you, and parents and relatives who love you. Don't do anything foolish. If you were just defending yourself, as you say, the situation will be much simpler. Hand over the girl first, okay?"

"She's my classmate," Tang Zhong said. "She was also the target of the assassin. You can take her away anytime."

Tang Zhong thought his biggest advantage was that Qiu Yihan's testimony could prove his innocence.

Tang Zhong touched Qiu Yihan's head and called, "Qiu Yihan, Qiu Yihan, wake up."

Qiu Yihan was sleeping soundly and didn't respond.

Tang Zhong patted her face again and called, "Qiu Yihan, wake up. Wake up. The police are here."

Qiu Yihan finally responded, her hands tightening around Tang Zhong's neck like an octopus's tentacles, her head rubbing against Tang Zhong's shoulder, and she said in a sweet and seductive voice, "Grandma is annoying, let me sleep a little longer."

"..."

The entire scene fell silent. Everyone was stunned.
