Case 2. Killer VS Killer: Chapter 12. Students

"Paying the price?" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang. "Xiao Bai, are you sure?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly. "I've seen something like this before when I was handling a case." As he spoke, he made a phone call. "Hey, Hu Zi, come to Li Fei's dormitory. I want you to take a look at something. Ask Gong Sun to come as well."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao. "Whether I'm right or not, Hu Zi will know at a glance."

Zhan Zhao nodded and went around the body to look at the furnishings in the room. After looking around, Zhan Zhao found that the dormitory was too clean and tidy for it to be a boys' dormitory. Zhan Zhao reached out and touched the railing of the bed... There was not a trace of dust. He looked back at Bai Yutang, then turned and said to the teacher who was so nervous that his legs became weak. "The boys' dormitory in your school seems to be especially clean."

The teacher took a deep breath, then shook his head and sighed. "It's just this room."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao looked back at the teacher and asked, "How come?"

"Li Fei is known for his cleanliness." The teacher shook his head helplessly. "He has OCD, and it's so serious that he would clean the room when he has nothing to do. He even wipes the floor with napkins, so of course the room is very clean."

"His two roommates are okay with it?" Bai Yutang was curious.

"Oh, one of them has never lived here. He lives at home because he is a local. He only puts his things here. Wang Peng also seldom lives here, because there is an empty room opposite the dormitory, so he stays there."

"So, you're saying that Li Fei pretty much lives alone?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The teacher waved his hand and shook his head. "I know what you are thinking. On the contrary, Li Fei is actually very popular. People don't live with him because they are afraid of his cleanliness."

"Captain." As the teacher spoke, Zhao Hu opened the door and came in, followed by Gong Sun.

"Take a look." Bai Yutang pointed at Li Fei's body with his mouth.

Zhao Hu frowned, then squatted down to look at Li Fei's feet. He saw that the feet were tied to the legs of the chair. Zhao Hu stood up and said to Bai Yutang, "Captain... he's been silenced."

"Can you tell who did it?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment and said, "This seems to be an execution, but there is something wrong."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then asked Zhao Hu, "What's wrong?"

"Well, the so-called execution is actually punishing a traitor according to his identity and the number of gang members he has harmed." Zhao Hu whispered. "Traitors are usually tied to chairs. Their hands and feet are tied, and then their flesh is cut off alive with a knife. One cut represents one brother, and they usually start with the left arm."

"However, his hands are not tied." Zhan Zhao looked at the dead man's wrists. There were no binding marks either.

"He was slashed after death." Gong Sun squatted down to examine the ankles of the deceased that were tied to the chair. "There are no marks. Anyone alive would resist when being cut alive. Judging from the amount of blood, it was definitely done after death."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. "There are at least several hundred pieces of cut meat in the bag... He is just a student, so it shouldn't be possible for him to kill hundreds of gang members. Otherwise, it would have stirred the police."
