Chapter 423 The first elimination

  Feeling that Tang Zinian's grip on the famous brand loosened a bit, Zhao Yingnan immediately struck while the iron was hot:

   "What's more, I can guarantee that I am not a murderer. Even if you tear up my name tag, you will make the murderer camp lose one enemy."

   "You just said that you are not the murderer, so we don't need to tear you to death in the early stage..."

  After realizing the truth, Zhao Yingnan looked at Tang Zinian again with tears in her eyes.

  The latter was very uncomfortable being stared at, "Sister Yingnan, don't look at me like that."

   "Can't you let me go just once? Just once." Zhao Yingnan stretched out a finger.

   "Look at my poor physical strength, if you do it again, it's not like I can't catch up..."

   Tang Zinian nodded in agreement, and immediately asked:

   "Where did you just come from? Did you meet anyone? Where are you going?"

  Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the teaching building behind: "I came out from there and wanted to find a place to hide."

   "Then I met you...and Xu Xingzhou."

   "Old Xu?" Tang Zinian immediately became energetic, "Where did he go? Did he not tear your name tag?"

  Zhao Yingnan shook her head: "I posted it on the wall and explained that I was not the murderer, and he said neither was he, and then he left."

  Tang Zinian: "So, there is a high probability that Old Xu is not the murderer."

  He hesitated for a while, but finally let go.

"Thanks!"

  Zhao Yingnan accepted it as soon as she saw it, and slipped away faster than a rabbit.

  By the time Tang Zinian came to his senses, the person in front of him had long since disappeared.

  When the two were negotiating, Shu Ling happened to pass by, but she was hiding in the corner of the wall and blocked by a few trees, so she was not found.

  After Zhao Yingnan slipped away, Tang Zinian realized how stupid he was

  —It turns out that the other party believes whatever they say.

   "No! I have to go and find Sister Yingnan! No matter how bad it is, I have to tear off her name tag!"

   As Tang Zinian spoke, he chased after Zhao Yingnan in the direction he left.

  Shu Ling came out from the corner with faint eyes

  ——Zhao Yingnan ran away blindly, the probability of being the murderer is very small, so it can be inferred that Xu Xingzhou may not be either.

  —Tang Zinian is in hot pursuit, and there is a high probability that he is the murderer.

   Tang Zinian, who didn't know that he was labeled as a murderer, quickly chased him to several teaching buildings near the club activity room.

   And Zhao Yingnan had already climbed upstairs.

  She pushed open the door of the activity room, and went straight to the computer inside.

   After pressing the power button, Zhao Yingnan reached out to touch the bookshelf next to the computer, and her white fingers turned red as they squeezed into the gap.

   Fortunately, she quickly got the USB flash drive hidden in it.

   "Fortunately, this one is still there."

  Zhao Yingnan was relieved.

   This USB flash drive was found from the activity room data when she was searching for data.

  It is so tightly hidden, it goes without saying that there must be important clues inside.

   After confirming that she was the only one inside and outside the door, Zhao Yingnan inserted the USB flash drive into the host.

  A progress bar popped up on the computer screen soon.

  Before Zhao Yingnan had time to catch her breath, a 'creak' sound came from behind her.

  The sound was very small, as if the door had been blown by the wind.

  Zhao Yingnan froze all over, just at this moment, a figure appeared behind her on the computer screen, staring at her faintly...

"ah-"

  Zhao Yingnan screamed, breaking the brief peace of the school.

   Tang Zinian, who was looking for Zhao Yingnan's trace, immediately determined that the source of the call was the club activity room.

  He happened to find this place, so he rushed to the scene three steps at a time.

  But the 'murderer' is already 'empty'.

  The only ones left in the activity room were Zhao Yingnan, who was terrified and covered her mouth, and her name tag that fell to the ground.

   "Zhao Yingnan, OUT!"

   "Zhao Yingnan, OUT!"

  …

  Several announcements resounded throughout the campus.

   Tang Zinian wanted to ask who the one who tore up the name tag was, but Zhao Yingnan was not only speechless, but was quickly taken away by the man in black.

  Jiang Xuyan and others were a little far away, completely unaware of what happened.

  They never expected that someone would be eliminated in less than 20 minutes after the brand tearing session started.

   Shu Ling, who didn't arrive in time, just arrived downstairs when he happened to see Tang Zinian coming out of the screaming activity room...

  At the same time, Song Qingyou let go of Xu Xingzhou's arm.

  The two of them squatted under the window of the classroom next to the activity room, and they didn't make any sound from the beginning to the end.

"you-"

  The sound of Tang Zinian's footsteps disappeared, and Xu Xingzhou was about to speak when he met Song Qingyou with disapproving eyes.

  He gestured a question mark for no reason.

  Song Qingyou mouthed to him: "There may be someone else."

  Xu Xingzhou's feet were numb from squatting, so he had to sit down.

   Unexpectedly, Song Qingyou's guess was correct. A few minutes later, several footsteps approached, and they clearly entered the activity room, and then came out again.

   "There should be no one coming for the time being, let's go."

  Xu Xingzhou stood up, "Where are you going?"

"Activity Room."

  Song Qingyou said, "According to Yingnan's personality, she probably wants to find a place to hide. No one will come to the activity room to hide, so she won't come to the activity room for no reason..."

  Xu Xingzhou understood immediately: "So it is very likely that something has been discovered."

  Song Qingyou nodded: "That's right."

  The two of them walked into the activity room step by step, and chatted a few words while searching for things.

   "Xingzhou, you were too impulsive just now. If I hadn't been staying next door, you might have been 'caught on the spot' by Tang Zinian."

  Xu Xingzhou is rarely embarrassed: "The school is so big, I thought that after Mr. Zhao met me, he would not meet other people..."

  Who knew Tang Zinian was still following Zhao Yingnan!

  Song Qingyou hummed, "I just don't know who came in after Tang Zinian, maybe he thought Tang Zinian was the one who tore off sister Yingnan's nameplate."

   "That's a good thing for us."

   "Exactly."

  In fact, Song Qingyou could tell that the person was Shu Ling just by hearing the footsteps.

   It's just that she knows too many skills, and occasionally she has to hide her clumsiness.

  The two wandered around the activity room for a while, Xu Xingzhou couldn't help muttering:

   "There doesn't seem to be anything extra in the activity room, could Xiao Tang take it away?"

"possible."

  Song Qingyou looked at the pile of newspapers under her feet, and frowned in embarrassment.

  Xu Xingzhou sat down directly and began to analyze:

   "Ms. Zhao went straight to the activity room. Either she hid something in the activity room, or there was something in the activity room... Normally, normal people would take things and leave, because the activity room is not safe."

  Song Qingyou answered the call with kindness:

   "And sister Yingnan stayed in the activity room for too long, that is to say, the things she found had to be put in the activity room for viewing—"

   Before the words fell, the eyes of the two of them swept to the computer in the corner at the same time.

  Song Qingyou: "I have browsed all the information in the computer, there is no other secret."

   "So, Zhao Yingnan found a USB flash drive."

   "Tang Zinian took a USB flash drive."

  The two arrived at the same answer at the same time.
