"Why are you asking us? We already said it at the police station. We didn't go home with Li Yanyan that day. We didn't know."

Li Li seemed very calm. She even pushed Huang Fengying who was sitting next to her.

"Fengying, you said so!"

"Yes, yes!" Huang Fengying was obviously much less timid. Her lips kept trembling and her hands were rubbing between her legs.

At this time, the girl lying on Huang Fengying's back looked at me and her expression became complicated, as if she realized that I could see her, but was not sure.

I ignored them and shouted at the two of them again.

"Stop pretending, both of you. Tell us what you did last Thursday night. Where did Li Yanyan go?"

They were both startled again. Huang Fengying was so scared that her face turned pale. She clenched her fists tightly and didn't dare to look me in the eye.

Li Li trembled, came to her senses and questioned me.

"Liu Feng, who are you? Why are you interrogating us?"

"You two better tell the truth, or I'll ask Li Yanyan to come out and question you."

I stared at Li Li and said calmly.

After hearing what I said, Li Li couldn't hold back any longer: "What did you say? Where is Li Yanyan?"

She was trembling and looking around the room. At this time, Huang Fengying's whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Li Yanyan, Li Yanyan, where is she?"

"She is right upon you." I said calmly.

They both turned around suddenly at the same time. There was nothing behind them except a big bed against the wall. They turned around immediately, and Li Li yelled at me hysterically.

"Liu Feng, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare us?"

At this time, Huang Fengying carried the girl on her back and floated down from her body. She floated and stood in front of me. She also waved her hand in front of my eyes, trying to confirm whether I could really see her.

"Li Yanyan, right? No need to try, I can see you." I said, looking straight at her.

She was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Can you really see me?"

"I can see you?" I confirmed.

"It's great that you can see me. Go tell the police that they are the ones who killed me. Let the police arrest them."

As she spoke, her face suddenly turned ashen. She turned around and floated beside me, pointing at Li Li and Huang Fengying and speaking viciously.

But I think Li Yanyan was not harmed by these two people in front of me. Besides, they just lived close to each other and went to school together.

How could the two of them have any deep hatred against Li Yanyan that would allow two unarmed girls to kill her?

"Li Yanyan, don't worry, tell me what happened that day, I will help you."

I calmed Li Yanyan down.

Li Li and Huang Fengying were so frightened when they saw me talking to the air next to them that they slowly backed away and curled up on the bed, snuggling up to each other, their faces pale.

"Li Yanyan said that you two harmed her, and she wants to seek revenge on you. She is right here, so quickly explain what happened that day, otherwise I will not care if she wants to seek revenge on you."

I scared them both on purpose.

"No, no, we didn't hurt her. I, we just didn't save her that day."

Huang Fengying burst into tears, her voice trembling violently.

"Yes, yes, if it's not us, there's nothing we can do." Li Li also said.

So, through the narration of these three people, I understood the whole story.

It turned out that last Thursday night, after evening self-study, the three of them made an appointment to go home together as usual.

Because Li Yanyan had some unfinished homework, she took ten minutes to leave the classroom. The two of them did not leave first because they had agreed to go home together in the evening so that they could take care of each other on the way.

"Yan Yan, why did you come out so late today?"

Li Li was still a little unhappy because the street lights were dim in those days, and it would be safer if she followed most of the day students.

But 10 minutes had passed and only three of them were left on the road, which made people feel scared.

"Sorry, Sister Li, I've been delayed for a while. Let's go now."

Li Yanyan apologized and pulled the two of them forward.

"Li Li, it's okay. The three of us are not afraid."

Huang Fengying is a peacemaker.

"Let's go." Li Li didn't mean to blame him. She immediately smiled. The three of them walked happily on the road, laughing as they walked.

There was no one on the road at this time. Most of the day students should have returned home. There was only one street in the entire town, and there was a small path near the lake.

The three of them live relatively far from the school, usually taking more than 20 minutes to walk. If they take the path around the lake, they can save at least five or six minutes.

For the sake of safety, the adults repeatedly told the family to take the main road, as at least more people live on the main road and it would be safer.

However, in order to get home as quickly as possible, many students still choose to take the path along the lake.

"Let's take the side road! It's too late!"

Li Li suggested when they reached a fork in the road.

"It's late at night. It might not be safe to take the small road."

Huang Fengying was the least timid. She didn't want to take any risks because when she usually walked on the small path, there were students in front and behind her, and some of them were boys.

"What are you afraid of? This is not the first time we are leaving." Li Li said.

"That's fine. I've walked here so many times, so it's okay. My dad bought me a small flashlight, so I'll bring it with me today."

After saying that, Li Yanyan took out a very small flashlight from her pocket. This flashlight had a red plastic shell and was much smaller and more exquisite than the ordinary silver iron flashlight.

She took it out and pushed a switch. A faint light shone on the ground. Although it was not as strong as a big flashlight, it was enough to see things on the ground clearly.

"Okay then!" Huang Fengying looked at the flashlight in Li Yanyan's hand, and reluctantly followed the two people who had already stepped onto the path.

After walking for a while, a few people suddenly came out from the alley. They were laughing all the way and staggering. It was obvious that they were drunk.

Hearing the sound behind them, the three of them quickened their pace.

"Little girl, don't walk so fast. Wait for the brothers."

Someone behind was whistling and calling out teasingly.

Hearing this, the three of them panicked and quickened their pace.

"Don't run, we won't eat you."

The people behind laughed and quickened their pace.

"What should we do?" The three of them were so nervous that they didn't know what to do when they saw the footsteps of several drunkards getting closer and closer.

"Run." Li Li was smarter. She realized the danger and shouted loudly.

Li Li is the oldest and tallest among the three of them. Li Yanyan is one year younger than them and is relatively petite.

The three of them ran forward desperately, and the people behind them also chased after them.

"Don't run, don't run, little sister, we are not bad people, let us take you home, hehe."

The people behind were chasing while letting out bursts of evil laughter.

Seeing that the people behind were about to catch up, Li Li found a small alley from which she could turn to the main road.

"Quick, run from here to the road."

She ran as fast as she could and shouted.
