It turned out that he had a name. His name was Jiang Lang, a graduate student of Yunjing University, and Yan Han was his mentor.

During the third year, the experiment related to his graduation thesis had not made much progress. Seeing that the next semester of the third year was about to end, the graduate students in the same year were revising the thesis and preparing the defense for the preliminary. As for him, the experimental process had only reached two-thirds.

The results of the experiment could not be published, and the thesis could not be written. Of course he knew the consequences-delayed graduation. But he was afraid that it would delay his graduation, but that the experiment never produced suitable results, and he had been working on it for several years. It was not that he hadn’t seen graduate students who graduated after six or seven years.

He was too anxious. One day, while spending the night in the laboratory, he thought of a speculative method-academic fraud.

That night the thought formed in his mind, and then it was like a steel nail that pierced deeply into his mind, and it couldn’t be pulled out.

Later, he put this idea into action and even deceived Professor Yan. He was ecstatic, thinking about where to work for graduation, his roommate Zhao Mingcheng discovered the academic fraud.

That day, he returned to the dormitory after dinner from the cafeteria. Zhao Mingcheng was the only one in the dormitory. The other two roommates had finished their defense and went to the field to interview and find a job.

A month before, like Zhao Mingcheng, he was faced with the dilemma of delaying the completion of graduation, but after that he was different. He could leave soon.

As soon as Jiang Lang arrived at his bedroom, Zhao Mingcheng smiled. The smile was somewhat malicious and made him uncomfortable.

“Brother, why didn’t I think of this good way before?” Zhao Mingcheng patted his shoulder with a smile and said.

Jiang Lang looked at him vaguely, frowned and said, “What do you mean?”

“Yes, don’t pretend. I found out what you did.”

He was suddenly in doubt. He had a bad premonition, but he still remained unchanged and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Zhao Mingcheng looked at him with a smirk, “What else can it be? Academic fraud.”

Jiang Lang was anxious, and his speech was a little unclear, “What…what academic fraud? Don’t frame people.”

“Look, you are too anxious.”

Jiang Lang was too lazy to entangle with him again. He pushed Zhao Mingcheng away and wanted to climb to bed.

Zhao Mingcheng grabbed his clothes with one hand and said, “Hey, don’t rush to hide, I haven’t finished speaking yet. If you graduate successfully, then I will be left in the dormitory. Now, you help me finish the graduate thesis. Brother can’t be so unjust.”

He knew he didn’t hold any good farts, so he threw away Zhao Mingcheng’s hand in anger and said, “Who is your brother? How can I help you?”

Zhao Mingcheng smiled triumphantly, “I expected you to say this a long time ago, but fortunately, I was prepared.” 

After that, he took out a stack of thick papers printed by Jiang Lang, threw them on the table and said, “I have found all the evidence of academic fraud. If you don’t help me, don’t blame me for not being loyal enough. At that time, let alone being a graduate student, you will have to be expelled.”

“Zhao Mingcheng, are you f****** sick,” Jiang Lang angrily pushed Zhao Mingcheng to the ground and punched him.

At that moment, Jiang Lang was really out of control and he had no reason.  Originally, he was exhausted by his graduate thesis. Later, in order to graduate smoothly, he took great risks and went to fraud with fear. He thought that his anxiety like a roller coaster could finally come to an end, but he didn’t expect to be discovered by Zhao Mingcheng in the end, and he dared to threaten him.

Zhao Mingcheng was also angry. He punched him back hard and cursed, “You f******* dare to hit me?”

So the two fought.

Once a person loses his mind, his behavior would go out of control. He was angry and only knew to beat Zhao Mingcheng who was knocked down by him with his fist, so that when he calmed down, he suddenly found Zhao Mingcheng lying on the ground motionless.

He was so scared that he shook Zhao Mingcheng, who was lying on the ground, but Zhao Mingcheng was like a lifeless puppet, motionless.

“Hey, Zhao Mingcheng.”

He patted Zhao Mingcheng’s face, but he still didn’t respond at all. Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed in his mind- will Zhao Mingcheng be dead?

He was so frightened that he hurriedly listened to Zhao Mingcheng’s heartbeat, but could not hear any beating sound.

Jiang Lang sat blankly on the ground. His ears began buzzing and his mind was almost blank. It was over. He killed someone.

Jiang Lang was like a wood, sitting on the ground motionless. Suddenly, a bad smell filled the closed room. He looked at Zhao Mingcheng and found that his trousers were wet.

After death, the muscles of the whole body would relax, so Zhao Mingcheng was very likely to have incontinence.

The smell of urine and excrement was mixed in the room, which made him very uncomfortable.

Jiang Lang looked at his phone, and it was 10:42 in the evening. He was still sitting on the ground, his mind slowly waking up. It was summer, and Zhao Mingcheng’s body would smell like a corpse in two or three days at most. In the dormitory, the rooms were so densely spaced that once the corpse odor appeared, he couldn’t hide it.

His mind was messed up at that moment, he was thinking about it in a mess. He suddenly thought of a suspense movie he had watched before. In order to prevent being discovered, he would divide the victim’s body, and then bury the corpse separately in the middle of the night or throw it into the turbulent river.

Divide? Jiang Lang didn’t dare to continue thinking.

In this way, he sat on a whim until 4 o’clock in the morning and still didn’t feel sleepy. Jiang Lang moved his stiff legs and got up and sat on the stool.

What to do? What to do? He kept asking himself.

Surrender?

No, his life would be over.

Why? Why did things turn out to be like this? He was pulling his hair hard, his eye circles were red. He just wanted to graduate successfully and then find a better job. Why did such a simple wish end up like this?

Early the next morning, he was too lazy to wash his face, so he went directly to the experimental building to find his mentor, Professor Yan.

The fact of murder was too great, and he really had no face to tell his family about it.

The previous night, he sat in the dormitory and thought about it all night. After thinking about it, he decided to come to his mentor, Professor Yan, early the next morning. He was ready to go to prison, but before the police found out, he still wanted to tell Professor Yan about it. Professor Yan was so smart that she might be able to analyze the situation for him.

He didn’t intentionally kill Zhao Mingcheng, he just lost control of his emotions and killed Zhao Mingcheng by mistake.

Jiang Lang thought and walked to their laboratory.

In the laboratory, there was only the senior sister in the first grade of doctor’s degree.

“Sister, where did Professor Yan go?” Perhaps because he didn’t sleep all night, his voice was a little hoarse.

The elder sister was concentrating on the experiment, when she heard his weird voice, which shocked her.

She turned her head to Jiang Lang and looked surprised, “Brother, what’s wrong with you? You look bad.”

Jiang Lang cleared his throat and forced his face to look normal, “Oh, I changed my paper overnight yesterday. “

“Although the paper is important, you must pay attention to your health.”

Jiang Lang nodded, “Well, where’s Professor Yan? I have something urgent to find her.”

“Professor Yan is in the small laboratory next door. She is busy with the new experiment. Let’s not disturb her for the time being.”

Jiang Lang nodded and walked to the next door.

Yan Han’s small laboratory was locked. Jiang Lang saw through the small glass window on the door that Yan Han was fully armed while inoculating  the mouse. He was about to raise his hand and knock on the door. Suddenly, he found something was wrong. Why bother to be fully armed when doing that?
