The young people once again gathered under the Tube-shaped Building and made their way to the top floor.
Halfway up the stairs, they ran into an old lady who was preparing to go downstairs with a basket of groceries. As soon as she saw Xu Xiangyang and the others, she greeted them cheerfully and curiously asked about the purpose of their visit.
Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie looked at each other.
Purpose?
Did coming here to seek accountability count?
The first to speak was Zhu Qingyue, who took out a crumpled-up piece of paper from her pocket, which had been a discarded test paper, and said seriously,
"Last night, when we were staying in that room on the rooftop, we found some things left behind by the previous tenant."
She spread out the evidence.
"Do you recognize her? She's a girl named Chen Hongying."
The old lady was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded her head in response.
"Yes, that's right... I remember."
"Oh."
