Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 150: Confronting Directly

After hearing this, Du Jun looked startled at first, fear evident in his eyes, but then he let out a dry laugh: "Gu Fan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Maintaining a wry smile, Gu Fan replied: "Right, of course you wouldn’t acknowledge it. Are you going to tell me how you meticulously planned the disappearances of our twelve classmates one by one?"

Du Jun seemed quite irritated by this baseless accusation, "What the hell, Gu Fan, have you gone mad? Instead of facing our common enemy, you’re actually sowing discord among us."

"Because I believe that if we can’t weed out the traitor among us, our team will always be under threat." Gu Fan said, appearing decidedly earnest, as if he firmly believed Du Jun was the traitor.

However, Du Jun maintained his innocence: "You’re making baseless accusations. Maybe we’ve had our differences, but when did you, Gu Fan, become such a petty person?"

Gu Fan remained nonchalant, only giving a knowing smile: "I know you’ll deny it, so let’s start reconstructing everything that’s happened, one by one."

"Fine, I’d like to see how you can frame someone without evidence." Not believing that Gu Fan could prove his accusations, Du Jun responded defiantly.

"First, there was the trip. If we hadn’t gone touring, we wouldn’t have arrived at the old town, and you were the one who initiated the trip. Then there was the hike - nothing would have happened if we hadn’t gone hiking, and again, it was you who suggested hiking late in the night. Furthermore, you wouldn’t have discovered the secret room during the hike if you hadn’t wandered off. Considering all these points, I believe you’re questionable, as it seems like you led everyone to the secret room." Gu Fan continued.

Listening to this, Du Jun’s face darkened: "Are you insane, Gu Fan? Are you placing the blame for all the disappearances on me based on these groundless speculations?"

"Going on a trip, going hiking, going to the secret room - you led every time, Gu Fan sneered. "I refuse to believe it’s just a coincidence; I think you orchestrated everything."

Du Jun retorted immediately, "What if I say these are coincidences? Our initial travel destination wasn’t the old town. We had to change our route because of an earthquake. You can’t possibly accuse me of controlling earthquakes, can you?"

"Yes, you cannot control earthquakes. So going to the old town was seemingly out of your control and regarded as accidental, which could conveniently clear you of suspicion. However, by chance, we just happened to encounter a local on the road who suggested we rest at the old town and wait for help. I find it suspicious that we happened to encounter a native just as we became stranded," Gu Fan laughed dismissively, clearly not buying Du Jun’s story. Then he continued, "Therefore, I am going to make an unfair assumption about you, Du Jun. You had informed the locals in advance and devised a plan. The local was aware that we would pass by, and was supposed to collide with us on the road, which would compel us to take him back to the old town. The earthquake only left us with no alternatives and facilitated your first step."

Du Jun was having none of it: "As you said, this is an unfair guess. And your assumption is pure conjecture."

Gu Fan shook his head in response, "I never speculate without reason. Su Hui asked a friend to investigate the highway. How is it possible for such a freeway to lead directly to an obscure old town? Isn’t it suspicious? Do you know what Su Hui found out? It turns out that the highway was designed and constructed by your father’s Yongxin Group."

"This..." Du Jun paused, apparently not expecting Gu Fan’s investigation to go so far.

"So, this is the fourth coincidence, right? If you still won’t admit it, no worries. There are plenty more coincidences. I’ll go through them one by one until you confess." Gu Fan’s words were resolute, and his eyes flashed with barely contained indignation.

"Let’s start with the disappearance of our second classmate, Li Xiaoyan. We all know she had a crush on you, and you knew that as well. Li Xiaoyan and Lin Xi were close friends. You designed a plan to have us all go to a nightclub owned by one of your father’s friends. You asked Li Xiaoyan to invite others. Naturally, Li Xiaoyan would invite Lin Xi. This was your first move." Gu Fan continued.

Du Jun responded contemptuously, "I admit what you just said. I did invite everyone to the nightclub and used Li Xiaoyan to get close to Lin Xi in order to compete with you."

Gu Fan just shook his head, "You brought in Lin Xi for two reasons. First, you genuinely wanted to get close to Lin Xi. Second, you did it to conveniently create a chaotic situation. If the people who harassed Lin Xi were arranged by you, everything would make sense. When Lin Xi encountered trouble, all the boys would rush in to start a brawl, leaving Li Xiaoyan alone and vulnerable, making her an easy target in the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Du Jun made an even more disdainful expression and even gave a clap, "Gu Fan, I admire your imagination. You’re really going all out to frame me."

"Deny it all you want, I’ll keep saying it until you admit," Gu Fan wagged his finger, acting like the best was yet to come.

"Alright then, let’s see how far your imagination can take you." Du Jun seemed calm, but there was a hint of unease in his eyes.

Gu Fan continued, "The fifth coincidence is Li Xiaoyan’s disappearance, which also occurred during an event you organized. The sixth coincidence is that the event took place in a nightclub owned by your father’s friend. Su Hui reviewed the surveillance footage from that night, and found two questionable points. First, due to the chaos, Li Xiaoyan was seen following the crowd towards the exit, but for a period of time, she was blocked by several very tall people and was not captured by the camera. Second, surveillance footage showed many people running out of the main entrance. However, Li Xiaoyan was not among them. Moreover, those very tall men didn’t leave until much later. Do you know what this implies? Li Xiaoyan likely disappeared inside the nightclub, which is owned by your father’s friend. You would have the best knowledge of the security camera blind spots, and could have taken advantage of them to take Li Xiaoyan into a secret room. The scene was messy, the noise was loud, and everyone was running about. No one would notice Li Xiaoyan was in trouble, especially when she was surrounded by several tall men."

Upon hearing this, Du Jun’s expression darkened, still refusing to admit, "If coincidences could serve as evidence in solving cases, things would be too easy."

"You’re right. Now let’s talk about Qian Chuan’s disappearance. Rest assured, you are also involved in this coincidence." Gu Fan looked at him challengingly as he continued, "Qian Chuan disappeared because he left to buy alcohol by climbing over the school’s wall late at night. Why would he do such a thing? Because the school locks its doors at night and doesn’t allow anyone to go in or out. So why did he want to buy alcohol? I heard it was suggested by you, but the school’s supermarket was out of beer. Considering Qian Chuan’s personality, he took initiative to leave the school at night to buy beer not for the first time, especially after having an unpleasant interaction with me and Lu Yi."

"Do you know the most suspicious point about Qian Chuan’s disappearance? It’s as if someone was already aware of his plan to climb over the wall and was waiting for him." Gu Fan ended his statement with an accusatory stare, which made Du Jun feel pressured and even afraid to make eye contact with him.

Gu Fan continued, "I had Su Hui check the surveillance footage and found that you had been to the school supermarket once before you and Qian Chuan visited it together. I think on the night you first went to the supermarket, you discovered that the school supermarket was out of beer. Seeing the disagreement between Qian Chuan and me, someone who understood Qian Chuan’s personality would suggest inviting Qian Chuan for a beer. But when you arrived at the supermarket, there was no beer. Just as you anticipated, Qian Chuan decided to climb over the wall to buy beer due to his proactive personality, allowing you to notify others to set up an ambush."

Du Jun instantly refuted, "Wait a minute, don’t forget, you were the last person to see Qian Chuan climbing over the wall that night. You are also a suspect."

To this, Gu Fan shook his head, "Don’t joke around, I saw Qian Chuan after he had already climbed over the wall. How would I have time to notify outsiders to kidnap Qian Chuan, especially when Jie and Lu Yi were by my side at that time, who can prove that I was innocent." freewёbnoνel-com

Du Jun, looking furious, but with less and less conviction, retorted, "Bah! What kind of nonsense innocence. All you do is frame me."

Gu Fan shrugged, looking completely unconcerned, "Whether you’re being framed or not, let’s talk about Sun Yi’s disappearance next. Don’t forget that was also an event you organized to watch a gaming competition. Let me count, this is already the seventh coincidence. Why are there so many coincidences, you wonder?"

"This..." Du Jun stuttered, trying to come up with a rebuttal, but couldn’t say a word. Even the panic in his eyes was more apparent, as if he had been exposed.

Seeing Du Jun’s expression, Gu Fan feigned a look of confusion, "What’s wrong? I’ve only mentioned seven coincidences and you’re already having this reaction? Please bear with me; there’s still the eighth, ninth, and tenth coincidence to discuss. Of course, you could simply confess directly. That way, we could save time and I could spare myself the effort of talking since my mouth’s starting to feel dry. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be taking a drink of water before we continue our conversation." With that said, Gu Fan did just that, looking quite pleased with himself, which made Du Jun’s expression grow increasingly dark.
