Love App, Girl, Come And Taste My Blood - Chapter 175

A shiver ran down her spine, but compared to the constant anxiety of the past few days, the perpetual state of being on edge, this new fear felt strangely… muted.

Even if the end of the world was looming, the college entrance exams were fast approaching, and life, for better or worse, would have to go on.

[WeChat] Meng Xing: Hehehe, let’s chat about your gossip at noon, let’s go to that place together.

Seeing her friend, always the first to know the latest school gossip, Ye Wushuang politely declined her offer to eat together, opting instead to head to the cafeteria alone.

This lunch naturally included the lunch box for her and the married teacher, who had difficulty moving around. Although there was no prior agreement, as part of her strategy, this still had to be done.

The old woman’s outburst against the married teacher yesterday also ended without a result, as if it was just a casual attack to provoke the teacher’s emotions. Ye Wushuang hadn’t seen the old woman when she picked up the boy last night, she even thought that the married teacher might have actually killed the old woman at some point unbeknownst to her.

Of course, this was just Ye Wushuang’s guess. She walked into the teacher’s office with the lunch box and saw her, who was always busy, writing in a textbook.

“Teacher, rest a while, eat something first,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile, placing the lunch box on the table.

The married teacher looked up, took off her glasses, and smiled at Ye Wushuang.

“Wushuang, you’re really troubling yourself.” Her smile returned to a gentle smile. The gloom of yesterday was swept away, and she became the goddess teacher that people yearned for again.

Ye Wushuang also smiled and sat on the small stool, and then began to open the lunch box.

During this time, the teachers would go to the cafeteria to eat. After eating, some teachers would go for a walk, and some teachers would go to the special classroom lounge to rest. In the large space, only Ye Wushuang and the married teacher were left.

The school didn’t have a strict rule against eating in the office, but with only two people remaining in the otherwise empty space, the atmosphere became oddly tense.

“It’s the first time I’ve eaten in the teacher’s office,” Ye Wushuang squeezed out a few words, hoping to resolve the awkwardness between them.

“Me too, I usually go to the cafeteria to eat,” the married teacher also cooperated in replying. She ate very politely, but her interest in vegetables was obviously much stronger than in meat.

Ye Wushuang had always assumed that since the married teacher was a cannibal, she would naturally be drawn to meat. However, her current behavior puzzled Ye Wushuang. With that thought in mind, she took the initiative to pick up a piece of meat and offered it to the married teacher. “Teacher, eat some meat; you look so thin.”

But before the chopsticks had reached halfway, they had already been rejected by the married teacher.

“Sorry, I don’t eat meat,” the married teacher explained to Ye Wushuang apologetically, continuing to eat the green vegetables in her bowl.

Judging from that expression and action, it didn’t seem to be fake.

Ye Wushuang remembered that when she had lunch with Mr. S yesterday, the married teacher had also chosen vegetarian dishes. In contrast, the little boy had indulged in a hefty amount of meat, even ordering a rare steak that Ye Wushuang found hard to stomach.

Clearly, the married teacher was the cannibal, yet this vegetarian lifestyle left Ye Wushuang confused.

Was it a smokescreen to cover up her cannibalistic behavior, or was it that the meat that the married teacher ate was limited to human meat?

“Teacher, why don’t you like to eat meat?” Ye Wushuang asked, batting her eyelashes innocently, playing the role of an inquisitive child. She expected the married teacher to answer such a simple question without hesitation.

The married teacher swallowed the food in her mouth, and then drank a sip of warm water that was placed next to her, before saying, “I don’t like to eat meat.”

Ye Wushuang asked, “Is there some reason for not liking it?”

The married teacher didn’t answer, just smiled and brushed it off. Ye Wushuang also had no way to continue to press on, so she chatted about other topics.

The married teacher wasn’t talkative, and most of the time it was Ye Wushuang asking questions.

Ye Wushuang wasn’t talkative either, but relying on the points she’d added in her eloquence, she managed to keep the conversation flowing throughout lunch. She skillfully found engaging topics, injecting humor into her words, and successfully eliciting laughter from the married teacher.

“Teacher Zhang, the things you wanted…” The door was pushed open without warning at this time, and the student who walked in saw the two people chatting at a glance.

Ye Wushuang had already prepared herself, but the married teacher was caught off guard, her smile frozen on her face, not knowing what reaction she should show at this time.

“Huahua, what are you standing in there for, quickly put down your things and let’s go eat together,” another voice followed, and then also walked towards the office, seeing the strange combination of Ye Wushuang and the married teacher at a glance.

Huahua was the nickname of the delinquent girl. Ye Wushuang didn’t expect that the world would be so small that it made people feel helpless.

Teacher Zhang is naturally the sweetheart who now takes in the delinquent girl.

This semester, the delinquent girl had become Teacher Zhang’s class representative, and her grades had also obviously been improving quickly.

During the winter vacation, Ye Wushuang had heard about their recent situation from the delinquent girl.

Even during the holidays, Teacher Zhang had been maintaining a gentleman’s relationship with the delinquent girl, and neither of them planned to cross this line before graduation. And after the married teacher’s incident occurred, Ye Wushuang received an strange text message from the delinquent girl.

[If I choose you now, please, will you give me another chance?]

Ye Wushuang refused very straightforwardly, and probably because of this reason, the delinquent girl looked at her with such a strange expression today.

“I was wondering who it was, isn’t this that so-and-so?” As soon as the other girl saw Ye Wushuang, she revealed a disgusted expression, as if she had been deceived by Ye Wushuang before.

Ye Wushuang was at a loss. The delinquent girl hurriedly introduced this person’s identity.

“This is a friend I know in my class. She knows about us.”

These words pulled Ye Wushuang’s carefully constructed reputation back to the previous semester. Due to a series of misunderstandings, the delinquent girl had come to believe that Ye Wushuang had feelings for her, leading to various awkward situations between them. It seemed the delinquent girl’s comments hinted that her friend was aware of the tangled history between them.

Not knowing how much the delinquent girl had said, Ye Wushuang could only squeeze out a smile and greet the girl.

But this girl was a straightforward person, her gaze sweeping over the two people in front of her, and she sarcastically said unhappily, “You’re still hung up on her? Wow, she really played you, huh? First, she says she likes you, then she ditches you for… a teacher. Impressive.”

As if unsatisfied with her previous remarks, she let out a cold snort and added, “Teacher Mu, watch out, this woman is a…”

Before she could finish speaking, the delinquent girl had already blocked her mouth from continuing to speak.

“Enough!” She pulled her friend away in a panic, leaving behind only pain in her eyes.

Ye Wushuang opened the Dating App to see the relationship between the delinquent girl and herself. She didn’t understand why, even though the distance should be getting further and further apart, the delinquent girl’s feelings for her had instead become stronger.

“Teacher, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to make you laugh,” Ye Wushuang said, forcing a smile. Now that the secret was out, she might as well reveal everything she’d done last semester.

Ye Wushuang also believed that the married teacher must have investigated these matters.

“It’s alright, I’m just surprised,” the married teacher said, a hint of amusement in her tone. “I always thought you liked student Qiu Ruishi.” She smoothly steered the conversation towards Qiu Ruishi.

Ye Wushuang cheered in her heart, but still revealed a face full of regret, “Qiu Ruishi? There’s nothing between us at all.”

The married teacher smiled, and didn’t continue to ask about what happened next.

Ye Wushuang then honestly told the married teacher about what had happened between her and the delinquent girl before, how they met, how they missed each other, and how they gave up.

“Teacher, do you have prejudice against homosexuals?” After saying all of these stories, Ye Wushuang looked at the married teacher and said the sentence that she wanted to say the most today.

The married teacher didn’t answer, she just looked at Ye Wushuang like this.

“I don’t hate them, but if it happened to me, I can’t accept it,” the married teacher said very sincerely, making Ye Wushuang feel very surprised.

“Why?”

“I’m from a single-parent family, and I’ve always been ridiculed a lot. Then I thought at that time, if I get married and have children in the future, I must give my children a complete home.” Ye Wushuang had been observing her expression, confirming that she was lying.

But the married teacher showed a very serious expression.

“So, you didn’t divorce your husband, even though he did that kind of thing?” Ye Wushuang thought of the married teacher’s strange relationship with her cheating husband.

The married teacher nodded, and then shook her head.

“Is it still repaying a debt of gratitude?”

The married teacher nodded, and then shook her head.

“Is there anything else?”

“Because I have nothing left, my mother also passed away a few years ago,” saying this, the married teacher revealed a painful expression, her body trembling slightly.

Ye Wushuang could even feel the entire office trembling.

Clearly, she was a woman in her thirties, but she looked so fragile. Ye Wushuang hugged her, even though this hug carried more doubts and incomprehension.

…

Why had Teacher Mu changed so much? Do I want to manipulate the married teacher, to become her obsession in a twisted, consuming relationship?

Or should I unravel that distorted heart and somehow make the married teacher feel like a normal woman?

Ye Wushuang felt confused. Her opponent was too powerful, and the complexities of the situation ran too deep, leaving her with the sense that she needed to rely on outside influences for support.

[What’s the mindset of someone who eats human flesh?]

She began to seek help on the Internet, anonymously describing the married teacher’s general situation.

[She would completely preserve the head as an art collection, and would eat all the meat except for the bones, but hated eating animal meat.

She was fiercely protective of her child, exhibiting paranoid control and harboring resentment towards anyone who got too close to her child.]

Knowing the source of all of this might help Ye Wushuang strategize even more.

The teacher on the stage had already started glaring at Ye Wushuang. Ye Wushuang quietly clicked the send button, quickly putting away her phone, pretending that she was listening attentively…

The school immediately began its damage control efforts after the second period. The investigation into the lazy school nurse’s death had stalled, and the police required more time to thoroughly search the campus, determining if the murder was revenge-related, a crime of passion, or simply random.

Ye Wushuang was called over again, because the girl who had period cramps was very frightened, and didn’t come to class today at all.

As the second discoverer, Ye Wushuang needed to provide some assistance.

But this time, there were clearly more people who came to the crime scene than before. The police were energetic, as if some big shot had come.

Ye Wushuang was even more curious, and went up to take a look, finding that everyone’s gaze was staring at a woman.

The woman was wearing a trench coat, a black turtleneck sweater, her figure was slender, and her appearance was also very delicate. Her long hair was tied up, looking like a teaching professor, out of place with the style of the people around her.

Chief Qin seemed to be very familiar with this woman, and the two of them were discussing very intensely. Captain Zhu, who should have been the main person in charge of the case, looked resentfully, wanting to get angry, but was helpless.

Ye Wushuang found it funny to watch, so she teased Captain Zhu.

“Captain Zhu, what are you looking at, looking so seriously.”

“Of course I’m looking at Chief Qin, what else can I look at,” Captain Zhu responded unhappily, her gaze never leaving Chief Qin. From that expression, it could be seen how much she cared about Chief Qin.

“But your gaze looks like you’re looking at an enemy, as if Chief Qin will fly away with this sister,” Ye Wushuang teased, subtly hinting at the complicated relationship between the three of them.

“After all, that’s her first love, wait,….Ye Wushuang, you little brat, why did you come over here again?” Captain Zhu realized belatedly, finally discovering that the identity of the person asking the question was not right.

“Chief Qin said to let me learn more.”

“That blind woman is really big-hearted, you’re a criminal suspect, and she actually dares to let you wander around the scene,” Captain Zhu was even more helpless, holding back for a long time but unable to say anything bad about Chief Qin.

“Blind woman?” Ye Wushuang was even more curious about the story that Captain Zhu and Chief Qin had to tell.

“It’s a term of endearment, go over there,” Captain Zhu was too lazy to explain, and greeted the police officer in front of her, letting Ye Wushuang in.

Ye Wushuang walked over carefully. Chief Qin’s gaze finally looked over, smiling and waving at her.

“Fang Yan, let me introduce you, this is my little disciple,” Chief Qin patted Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, pulling her in front of her.

Ye Wushuang finally saw the woman in front of her clearly up close. Looking at her from the front, she was even more beautiful, looking like a gentle older sister.

But her gaze was so sharp, so intense, that a chill ran down Ye Wushuang’s spine. She felt an instinctive sense of danger emanating from this person.

“Disciple, you’re preying on anyone, even high school students! She’s still preparing for college entrance exams, don’t overwhelm her,” Fang Yan said, shaking her head at Chief Qin after a brief glance at Ye Wushuang.

“Fang Yan, your eyes are still so sharp. Just by looking at her, you know that she’s a high school student, and even a senior in high school,” Chief Qin laughed, but only Ye Wushuang was confused.

“Come, little disciple, let me introduce you to our bureau’s big celebrity, criminal psychology expert Teacher Fang Yan.” When Chief Qin said this person’s name, many things suddenly came to Ye Wushuang’s mind.

But what she thought about the most was the matter about the married teacher.

If she let this woman know about the married teacher’s existence, her strategy would be over.

Ye Wushuang tried hard to tell herself to calm down, and must not reveal any flaws in front of a real expert.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m just an ordinary police officer,” the person who was called Fang Yan was a little helpless, smiling at Ye Wushuang as a greeting.

Saying this, she began to look at her watch, as if she was in a hurry.

“I have to catch a plane next, you go find the murderer based on the content of my analysis,” Fang Yan continued, starting to leave the scene.

Chief Qin hurriedly stopped her, “The range, you haven’t said the search range.”

Fang Yan paused and continued to add: “It’s around this area, the employees who often appear there.”

Saying this, she disappeared like the wind.

Ye Wushuang was utterly bewildered. Unsure what kind of act the two were putting on, she curiously asked Chief Qin for an explanation.

“Fang Yan isn’t just a criminal psychologist; she’s also a psychological profiler. She can use the characteristics of the victims to help catch the killer.”

“So cool!” Ye Wushuang was shocked. She felt that this so-called psychological profiling was simply more powerful than the Dating App.

“It’s science, and psychological profiling is now a recognized field,” Chief Qin said with a smile, but she didn’t immediately use the profiling results to identify the killer.

Ye Wushuang became curious about the board in Chief Qin’s hand, and asked her to take a look, seeing the psychological profile on it.

…

Profile gender: Male.

Age between thirty and forty years old, height around 1.7 meters.

Appearance honest, won’t make people suspicious.

Unmarried or divorced, left-handed.

Engaged in work related to files and documents, may have handled or seen the files of the headless corpse case.

The family environment is average, has a smoking habit, and his left hand can’t exert strength, it should be because he was injured in some event before, causing the wound to produce a subtle error.

The murderer didn’t kill out of passion, he killed with premeditation and targeting.

The workplace is nearby, likes to wear brightly colored clothes, and wears gold necklaces and other accessories.

…

This so-called profiling, rather than profiling, was more like putting living criminal suspects in front of Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang looked at the so-called psychological profiling results in surprise. She even suspected that this Fang Yan was a user of the APP, to be able to outline such an accurate criminal profile.

“Report, the suspect has been found and is being brought over,” not long after, a police officer came to report to Captain Zhu, the voice loud, making everyone present hear it.

Ye Wushuang stood there blankly, feeling that this psychological profile was too incredible.

What was even more incredible was that when the criminal suspect was brought before Ye Wushuang, she discovered that she even knew this police officer who was always patrolling nearby.

In any case, what awaited this copycat was the punishment of the law.
