Chapter 1821


    “Susan, you’re here!”


    Unexpectedly, one of the girls from the dorm recognized Susan and ran toward her with red-rimmed eyes


    upon noticing her arrival.


    Susan froze for a moment, but she soon remembered who the girl was since she had a good memory.


    “Oh, it’s you. You’re the girl who always hangs out with Zaylynn, right?”


    “Yeah, we’re besties. Susan, we all ate the food Zaylynn brought, and we’re still alive and kicking. I don’t


    believe Holly died because of the food!”


    “Yeah! Everyone in this dorm room ate the food, but we all didn’t experience any difort at all!”


    Susan was surprised to see so many of them defend Zaylynn. I guess Zaylynn is quite popr among


    these girls.


    She tried to console all the anxious girls. “Calm down, girls. Let’s find out more about the case first,


    okay? We’ll be able to analyze the situation once we’ve gathered more information about it.”


    Susan even assured them, “I want you girls to know that I’ll be able to help Zaylynn if she really is


    innocent. You have my word.”


    After hearing Susan’s words, the few girls fell silent for a moment. Then, they gave Susan a better


    picture of the incident.


    The previous night, after dinner, someone had brought the leftovers to the dorm. The girls had all gotten


    excited and started munching on the drumsticks and burgers.


    As for the deceased girl, Holly Halford, she was actually not from the same faculty as them. She was a


    computer science student, and she hade to their dorm to look for a friend.


    “Since she was at our ce, we offered her our food. It’d be awkward if we didn’t do that, wouldn’t it?”


    “Yes.” Susan nodded in agreement.


    “So that was why we shared our food with her. But somehow, she felt sick soon after she left the dorm.


    We ate the same food, but nothing happened to us.”


    The girls started to get agitated again.


    Susan knitted her brows. That’s strange. They ate the same food, yet the girl named Holly was the only


    one who lost her life because of it. How strange.


    Susan then left the dorm.


    While she was on her way to meet Ian and Timothy, she bumped into Yasmin, who had just returned to


    the campus.


    With a backpack on her back and a stack of revision materials in her hands, Yasmin entered the dorm


    with a solemn expression on her beautiful face.


    “Good morning, Yasmin. You’re early today.”


    Yasmin stopped in her tracks and looked at the dormitory warden who had greeted her. She asked in


    frustration, “Why are our sses canceled? Did something happen?”


    The warden immediately inched closer after hearing Yasmin and whispered, “Haven’t you heard the


    news? Someone from your faculty died.”


    “What?” Yasmin’s expression changed abruptly, and she nched at the warden’s words. “W-What do


    you mean by someone died? Who died?”Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “A girl from the Faculty of Computer Science. She died after eating a burger that Zaylyann brought to the


    dormst night. You would have been in danger had you been herest night. Thank goodness!” The


    warden was relieved that Yasmin was away the previous day.


    Yasmin continued to keep mum.


    It seemed that the news had shocked her to the core. She hugged the books close to her chest and froze


    right there for quite a while, her face shockingly pale.


    Susan walked over and stood in front of her. “Yasmin, you just got back?”


    “It’s none of your business,” Yasmin said.


    Since the fallout they had two days ago, Yasmin no longer had to put on a facade to pretend to be nice.


    She could finally show her true expression.


    However, was that a facade of Yasmin?


    It did not seem like it, as she really thought she saw some hope during the few days.


    “I’m trying to investigate the homicide case that involves Zaylynn. Students staying in this dorm, including


    you, are potential suspects,” Susan exined patiently.


    Upon hearing that, Yasmin unexpectedly let out a mirthlessugh. “Suspect? Do you think you’re a cop?


    Who are you to question my whereabouts? Stop being a busybody!”


    Susan knitted her brows and decided to ignore Yasmin.


    No longer looking at Yasmin’s unpleasant face, Susan walked up to the dorm warden.


    She suddenly pointed at a tiny ck dot near the window frame of the room where the dorm warden


    stayed and asked, “Madam, is that a surveince camera?”


    The dorm warden’s expression changed. “Um…”


    “I won’t tell anyone about it. Don’t worry, madam. I merely want to check the surveince footage to find


    out what exactly happened when the person brought the food overst night,” Susan assured her, as she


    knew why the warden panicked as soon as she saw thetter’s expression.


    Obviously, the warden had secretly installed a surveince camera in themon area to monitor


    students in the dormitory so that she could ck off. In fact, the school authority had forbidden the


    instation of surveince cameras in the female dorm because it was a vition of students’ privacy.


    Yet, that warden had gone against the regtions and installed a surveince camera there. Not only


    that, she had even aimed the surveince camera directly at the interior of the building.
