At the hospital, the doctor on duty had finished checking up on the latest patient who was wheeled in from Dalton High. Hobin was waiting for him, anxious about the result. He looked up to see the doctor coming out.
"Doctor Wan, what's the news?" he asked the doctor.
"He died of a heart attack," Doctor Wan told him. "I checked for any foul play but so far there are no signs of anything like that. He was a chronic heart patient anyway. But we'll wait for the reports."
Hobin was not so sure. He checked the watch and frowned. It's still less than an hour since the Principal died…
"I would like to check up on him myself," he said. "Can I?"
"Sure."
Hobin thanked him and went to the ward where the Principal was kept. The corpse would be moved to the morgue soon but Hobin needed to be sure about something. He pulled down the blanket covering the corpse and stared at it.
