Chapter 323 Meeting the Principal
Chapter 323 Meeting the Principal
At this moment, Wang Tian noticed Xiang Yuntian's hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll be there in a bit and will fully cooperate with you to get the case sorted out."
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath, intending to say something, but then stopped himself. He understood that whatever he said at this moment would be unlikely to change the current situation or ease the tension between Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian.
He smiled at Wang Tian for a few seconds, nodded slightly in agreement, and then turned and left.
Before he even got back to the morgue, he saw Bai Mengfei walking towards him from the opposite side.
As Bai Mengfei walked, her gaze did not turn in this direction, but remained fixed on the ground.
She placed her hands lightly in her pockets, her brow slightly furrowed. Clearly, she seemed troubled by something.
Just as Xiang Yuntian was pondering, Bai Mengfei raised her head and looked over. Seeing that he was also walking towards her, Bai Mengfei quickened her pace and stepped forward to ask, "How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong? Is everything settled?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.
"Yes, things have come to a temporary end." Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "However, even so, I always feel that Wang Tian is a little different."
Bai Mengfei simply said "Oh," but her mind was racing. She felt it was normal for Wang Tian to change, after all, Wang Tian had always been unconvinced by her, not to mention what had happened before!
Therefore, she didn't comment further and simply turned and left.
Xiang Yuntian was very concerned about her and hurriedly caught up, asking as he went, "Are you alright?"
"Hmm? I'm fine!" Bai Mengfei said, but she was clearly preoccupied.
Xiang Yuntian could sense it too, so he said, "You seem to have a lot of worries. Why don't you tell me about them? Maybe I can help you share some of the burden."
"It's not that easy! This case is my biggest headache right now. Can you help me solve it?" Bai Mengfei said with a wry smile.
Xiang Yuntian nodded and said, "Sure, as long as we work together, I believe this case will be solved soon!" Xiang Yuntian was also trying to appear more confident.
Just then, Wang Tian walked over from the opposite side.
She looked at Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei with a puzzled expression, then suddenly stopped and didn't approach any closer. Anyone could see that Xiang Yuntian's gaze towards Bai Mengfei was filled with deep affection, completely different from his usual demeanor.
In Wang Tian's eyes, this was undoubtedly somewhat jarring. But she said nothing, only silently lowered her head, waiting for the two to approach.
After Bai Mengfei approached, she said to Officer Zheng, "Officer Zheng, we can set off now."
Wang Tian simply said "Oh," nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go then!"
The three then set off together for Jinji High School.
Upon arriving at Renzhi High School, the three first met the principal and the dean of students.
Since all three are public officials, the school expressed its warm welcome, with the principal stating, "Our school attaches great importance to this case in Jiangxia and hopes to solve it as soon as possible."
"Yes, I understand." Bai Mengfei nodded gently to show her understanding.
The principal smiled and then turned to look at the head of academic affairs, as if waiting for the head of academic affairs to say something.
The head of the teaching department also noticed that the leader of the three was actually Bai Mengfei, the youngest. So he said to Bai Mengfei, "Forensic Doctor Zhang, if you need any information from our school, please don't hesitate to ask."
"No need," Bai Mengfei said with a slight smile. "We can investigate ourselves."
Why did Bai Mengfei refuse the school's help? Because the head of the teaching department was also a suspect in the murder!
Just as the principal was sighing repeatedly, Xiang Yuntian suddenly noticed something strange. The principal's expression was somewhat unusual, as if he had something on his mind, or was hiding something.
Xiang Yuntian noticed it immediately and frowned, looking quite surprised.
He stared intently at the principal, carefully observing the principal's eyes.
It's often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and that's absolutely true. Despite the regret on the principal's face, a barely concealed smile flickered in his eyes.
However, the principal held a high position of power in the school and it was not easy to suspect him, so Xiang Yuntian said nothing.
During the school visit, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei walked behind, which gave Xiang Yuntian the opportunity to talk to Bai Mengfei.
He seized the opportunity and immediately said to Bai Mengfei, "I think there's something wrong with that principal."
"Huh?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise, "What happened?"
As she spoke, she saw the head of the teaching department turn around and look at her, so she lowered her voice and said, "Let's talk about this when we get back!"
“Okay!” Xiang Yuntian replied.
After they toured the school with the crowd and were getting into the car to return, Xiang Yuntian said, "When the principal showed regret just now, there was clearly a hint of happiness in his eyes."
As he spoke, he started the car.
Just then, Bai Mengfei saw an old man pushing a garbage cart walk by the roadside. The old man looked ordinary, but his face was filled with a sorrowful expression.
Bai Mengfei immediately thought: With such a big incident at the school, this old man is a staff member of the school, so he might know some inside information.
So she hurriedly said to Xiang Yuntian, "Stop the car, I'll go ask that old man."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian quickly drove over and parked his car on the side of the road.
Bai Mengfei immediately opened the car door, got out, and ran to the old man's side.
"Hello, are you a staff member of this school?" Bai Mengfei asked politely.
The old man seemed very surprised, perhaps because he felt that he was covered in sweat, old and ordinary, while Bai Mengfei was young and beautiful, and he couldn't believe that she would not dislike him and would take the initiative to talk to him.
He paused for a moment before humbly saying, "No, I'm not a manager, just a gatekeeper, an old man."
"Uncle gatekeeper, I'd like to ask you something," Bai Mengfei said.
At this moment, the old man saw Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian get out of the car, and his eyes showed surprise and emotion. Xiang Yuntian's car was quite valuable, which showed that Bai Mengfei, who was with them, was also of a high status.
