S.C.I.谜案集 (Special Criminal Investigation) Book 2

Case 2. Killer VS Killer: Chapter 11. Paying the Price

The so-called questions went on strangely, and the students were more concerned about whether Bai Yutang bought his sports car with his wages, how many books Zhan Zhao had sold, whether Gong Sun had seen a body come alive while doing an autopsy, how many people Ma Han had killed, and so on...

Finally, everyone turned to the headmaster. After the session, Zhan Zhao said to the headmaster with a serious expression, "There is something wrong with the quality of the students in your school!"

Afterwards was the legendary graduation criteria assessment. The headmaster led everyone to the oval and said that there was a total of 15 students in this class. There were three projects, with five students in each group. A task was randomly given to each group and carried out. What the people from SCI needed to do was to test the success rate of the students.

Bai Yutang grabbed the papers with the three tasks on them and saw that the first task was to save hostages and simulate the scene of robbers robbing a bank. The second case was arson, which involved finding clues at the scene and catching the arsonist. The third was to simulate the case of a mutilated body, looking for clues.

Bai Yutang returned those tasks to the headmaster and asked, "You can set the scene for robbing a bank and the arson case, but what about the mutilated body?"

"Oh... We have forensics here, so they donate the corpse... and then..." The headmaster replied with a smile.

Everyone from SCI felt sick, as they wondered who came up with such an idea. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they thought how the teachers were dismembering bodies with forensic doctors for the task.

"How are the students grouped?" Zhan Zhao asked the teacher. "Could they group with whoever they wanted or were they assigned the groups according to their expertise?"

"Oh, they are free to form a team of five themselves. They will then draw lots for the case." The headmaster replied.

Zhan Zhao wanted to tell him that these tasks should not be taken so lightly. However, after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything, as the headmaster's intention was not just for education.

The students gathered on the oval and began to draw lots in groups.

"I don't see 15 students here." Gong Sun looked at the sparse dozen or so students in front of him. "Three or four are missing."

"Wow..." Bai Chi exclaimed. "They even dare to be late for their graduation exam."

"What's going on?" The headmaster frowned and asked the students, "Where are the others?"

The students looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Aren't you guys classmates? How can you guys not know where your classmates are?" The chairman next to the headmaster questioned the students harshly.

A student whispered, "Meng Kuangyue and his friends don't really talk to us. However, I'm not really sure about the class captain. He is Dr. Zhan's fan. He had been really excited when he got the news two days ago that people from SCI were coming. However, he didn't even attend the lecture today."

The headmaster frowned deeply. "Call them and tell them to come here within 10 minutes. Otherwise, they will receive no marks!"

"We have the class captain's number, but not the other three." Several students looked at each other.

Behind them, the people from SCI looked at the unexpected situation as Zhan Zhao whispered to Bai Yutang, "So it's true that the newer students don't really care about each other."
