A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 791 The Second Death

"Hey, Ellie-chan~ You got a new phone again? And you didn't even change your phone number."

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Ellie's expression grew even more somber.

"We're out having fun, everyone's here! Everyone misses you, come on over!" the girl on the other end said. "You have half an hour, you have to be here, don't be late!"

Ellie knew they were eyeing her wallet again, calling her over to pay the bill as usual, and also to add some "entertainment" to the bill.

But as she just said, in order to "graduate smoothly," she must now endure...

If you don't go and refuse "their" invitation, the consequences will be severe.

Because "they" are "upper castes" in schools, they have a powerful influence and can easily make their situation worse.

Moreover, the boyfriends "they" recently befriended are delinquent teenagers from an armed group of powerless individuals, who also wield considerable intimidation outside of school.

With her address already exposed, Ellie had nowhere to escape.

Left with no other choice, Ellie rushed to the location designated by "them" as quickly as possible—an entertainment plaza in the Third School District, where "they" were singing happily in a karaoke bar.

The Third School District is a special school district in Academy City used for many external exhibitions, and important guests are arranged to stay in this school district.

To ensure a comfortable environment and avoid noise disturbances, even the Third School District was located far away from the Twenty-Third School District, which is primarily responsible for aerospace.

It's easy to imagine that the price level here is definitely higher than in other places.

It is precisely because they know they have a "wallet" to pay that "they" can so recklessly choose such high-end places to spend their money.
The only saving grace was that "they" were having fun and didn't have time to pay attention to Ellie.

After confirming that the "wallet" had arrived, he ignored her and ordered a lot of drinks and snacks, continuing to party wildly.

Ellie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then made an excuse to go to the bathroom for some peace and quiet.

—It's almost three o'clock.

In the toilet stall, Ellie was browsing the information on her phone screen out of boredom when she suddenly heard a loud bang from the door outside.

Someone broke in.

"Ellie-chan~ Ellie..."

It's a man's voice.

—I am one of "them"!
Ellie remembered the voice; it belonged to the strong boy with tattoos on his forearm, who was already a high school student or even a college student.

—Has the worst-case scenario finally arrived?

Ellie knew that her classmates thought highly of themselves. Although they nominally dated these delinquent boys, they were probably just using them and wouldn't really let themselves suffer.

In comparison, it's not surprising that Ellie, the "wallet," would be given away as a substitute.

The man outside was searching through each cubicle, making terrifying noises.

He seemed to have had a few drinks in the private room earlier, and he's currently in a state of high excitement, displaying a rather unrestrained and arrogant demeanor.

The fragile locks on the toilet stalls were no match for the man's violence, and he finally found Ellie.

He revealed a ferocious smile, his massive body seemingly filling the narrow compartment, leaving the girl inside nowhere to escape.

—This person is not a classmate, and there are no other classmates or acquaintances here.

Therefore, Ellie was very calm at this moment.

A slender and thin body also has an advantage in this narrow space.

She turned gracefully and nimbly dodged the man's bear hug.

The man missed his target and ended up hugging the toilet instead.

“Hey, you know what?” Ellie reached out and touched the man, “the water in the toilet is really awful, even after it’s been washed…”

"What did you say?" The man turned around abruptly. He had only missed his target; he hadn't actually plunged into the toilet.

But then, the man stumbled and fell to the ground, his face pale, his hands pressing his neck as he retched violently.

It was as if I had just drunk dirty water from the toilet.

They even showed signs of shortness of breath and suffocation.

Just then, screams came from outside the toilet, followed by a growing commotion.

—It's about time to go out...

Ellie looked out of the bathroom door.

Just then, the man who had been lying on the ground finally recovered. He was convinced that Ellie was behind it all, and in his anger, he roared and pounced on her like a wounded beast.

Ellie hurriedly ran away.

As Ellie passed by a private room, she was surprised to see that security guards had already arrived at the scene.

The door to the private room wasn't completely sealed, and you could faintly smell the stench of blood coming from inside.

According to the accounts of the onlookers, someone committed suicide by cutting their wrists in the private room.

Ellie had no time to linger; the man behind her was already roaring and chasing after her.

"Is that the women's restroom?" The security guard noticed the commotion. "Excuse me, are you alright?"

Before Ellie could answer, Yomi Kawa Aiho had already made her move, using clean and swift grappling techniques to completely subdue the rampaging man.

"Behave yourself! I know a lot of delinquents, but someone like you is just too low-class!" Aiho Huangquanchuan scolded. "Come with me to the solitary confinement room later."

Her partner, Tetsuya, also came over at this moment to comfort the frightened girl.

Because of the sudden incident here and the commotion at the entrance, more and more customers are being drawn in.

Among them were Ellie's classmates.

Ellie turned pale when she noticed that "they" were also looking over from the crowd.

Regardless of the truth, they would certainly believe that they had "informed" others, summoned the guards, and resulted in their companions being arrested.

—After this is all over, they'll definitely take revenge, right?

Ellie felt heavy-hearted.

But the two guards thought the girl was terrified.

“Tetsu-sensei, you take this child home first,” said Aoi Yomikawa. “Leave this to me.”

Ironclad hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Huang Quanchuan!"

The bloody scene in the private room had a significant impact on Tie Zhuangzhui. If it weren't for her duty as a guard, she definitely wouldn't have been able to stay there for even a second longer.

To be honest, even Aiho Yomikawa had never seen anyone make a suicide attempt by cutting their wrists so bloody and gruesome.

Those who didn't know better might think a fierce bloody battle had taken place.

According to Aiho Yomikawa's examination and judgment, the deceased must have regretted her actions at the last moment, so she tried to stop the bleeding by applying pressure, but it was too late, and she could only die miserably in despair.

They even made the scene like this—to the point of causing physical discomfort.

After investigation, Aiho Yoshikawa confirmed the deceased's identity—a talent active in the "dark" world.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this special identity that they dare not easily call the police or an ambulance, for fear of their identity being exposed.

Regardless, the deceased did die from excessive blood loss, and it can be confirmed that he committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
