Chapter 145 Inquiry

She thought about it carefully, and then, recalling the incomplete physical evidence, she said, "The root of this matter should be related to the fragments that were not completely burned, which means it must be closely related to the school."

Fanghua innocently said immediately, "Then let Captain Zhao lead a team to investigate. We must get to the bottom of this."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately turned her head and stared at her coldly.

If only things were that simple, but unfortunately, they are far from it.

Zhao Fei's hesitation and indecisiveness have caused the case to stagnate.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Fanghua felt uneasy under Bai Mengfei's gaze and asked in a low voice.

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, shook her head to herself, and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something that's bothering me."

To avoid being accused of sowing discord, she didn't tell Fanghua the truth. But in the end, she still said to Fanghua, "Actually, to investigate this case now, don't count on relying on men. Only the two of us can give the deceased Tong Qian an explanation."

Fanghua sensed something amiss from Bai Mengfei's words and expression, and asked softly, "So what do you mean now? Should this evidence still be reported?"

“You report the evidence, and I’ll be responsible for investigating at the school,” Bai Mengfei replied confidently.

Fanghua took a deep breath, nodded gently, and agreed to Bai Mengfei's request.

Then, at eight o'clock in the morning, the two parted ways and went their separate ways.

Bai Mengfei personally went to the school to visit the principal.

On the surface, it was a visit, but in reality, it was a covert investigation.

When the principal heard that it was her, he was exceptionally warm and courteous, and even came out to greet her, asking her many questions about her studies.

She gave a perfunctory response on the surface, but in reality, she was observing the principal's fingers and every detail of his words and actions without making a sound.

The results showed that the principal's fingernails were intact, which indicated that the principal could not be the murderer.

However, there are still some logical inconsistencies in the case.

So Bai Mengfei subtly inquired about Tong Qian: "Principal, I heard that students who can enter our school must have excellent character. So, may I ask, what did Tong Qian rely on to get into this school?"

Faced with Bai Mengfei's question, the principal became hesitant, but finally found an excuse to explain: "Well, Tong Qian, before she enrolled, our school thought her grades were pretty good, and people can change..."

Bai Mengfei found this explanation far-fetched.

However, she only harbored suspicions in her heart and did not reveal them.

Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, pretending to believe the principal's explanation, and then asked, "How come a good student with good grades seems to have become a different person after coming to your school?"

The principal grunted in response, momentarily speechless. From his nervous expression, Bai Mengfei sensed that he seemed to be hiding something, so she scrutinized him even more closely, hoping he would tell the truth.

However, the principal hesitated for a long time but still didn't tell the truth. Instead, he took out a tissue and kept wiping his sweat.

These actions clearly show that the principal has something to hide.

Bai Mengfei looked at him with increasing suspicion, her eyes naturally revealing doubt.

The weather wasn't hot, but the principal was constantly sweating. From this, Bai Mengfei could roughly conclude that even if the case wasn't directly related to the principal, he was definitely involved.

At the very least, the principal must know some undisclosed secrets.

Bai Mengfei then stared sharply at the principal, her eyes seeming to see through everything.

Under Bai Mengfei's gaze, the principal had no choice but to change the subject, asking with a forced smile, "By the way, I heard you're also a very outstanding student, and you've even helped the police solve cases. Would you be interested in studying at our school?"

Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

But for Bai Mengfei, these questions are far from being answered; everything is just beginning.

So Bai Mengfei secretly shook her head and said, "Principal, I think we should continue discussing the case."

It was broad daylight, and Bai Mengfei thought that the principal wouldn't dare to do anything to her here.

But the principal always tried to steer the conversation to something else, which left Bai Mengfei feeling quite helpless.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that the principal, perhaps worried that Bai Mengfei might find something amiss, glanced at the clock and said to Bai Mengfei, "Hey, look, it's getting late. If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you go back first?"

Bai Mengfei also looked up at the clock, then pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. She felt that she wouldn't get anything out of the question by asking further, so she agreed to the principal's request.

However, as she was leaving, she witnessed something that infuriated her.

A teacher was supervising students to clean up when he suddenly pinched a female student's arm hard.

Moreover, this teacher is a male teacher.

As a woman herself, how could Bai Mengfei tolerate such a thing?

Bai Mengfei was about to go over to defend her when, just as she turned her head, she heard a steady voice from the side: "Zhang Ting."

Bai Mengfei recognized Xiang Yuntian's magnetic voice immediately.

Instantly, she panicked and quickly turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

It turned out that Jiang Shuai had brought Xiang Yuntian over.

Jiang Shuai's head was almost touching the ground, and he didn't dare to look at Bai Mengfei even once, looking like a guilty thief.

Bai Mengfei could actually understand his predicament. After all, Xiang Yuntian was his best friend, and how could he not help Xiang Yuntian?

Therefore, Bai Mengfei did not blame him at all. She just braced herself and slowly walked over, as if she were going to be judged.

"Come on, come back with me."

Xiang Yuntian didn't blame him, he just said this.

But the fact that he isn't blaming me now doesn't mean he won't when he gets back; perhaps he just doesn't want to lash out in front of others.

"Oh." Bai Mengfei knew it was wrong to sneak out, and responded weakly.

After getting into the car, Xiang Yuntian spoke again, but only with concern: "Have you had breakfast?"

Bai Mengfei hadn't eaten breakfast, so she naturally shook her head.

Xiang Yuntian immediately looked at Jiang Shuai, who was about to drive, and said, "Find a restaurant, I'm hungry."
