"Don't scare me, I'm easily frightened!"
Yang Linlin glared at Zhao Yi, but deep down, she was starting to believe what he was saying.
Zhao Yi quickly glanced through the information in the class roster, then returned it to its original place and opened the envelope.
Inside, along with a thick stack of bills, there was a short letter.
...
[Principal, I'm really sorry!]
[I've caused you trouble with (crossed out), I'll be more careful in the future!]
[Regarding (crossed out)]
[I've heard that his mother is his only relative. With things turning out this way, he probably won't let it go easily. Please talk to the mayor about this!]
[This money is a token of gratitude for your kindness!]
...
Obviously, this letter hadn't been sent out yet.
There were many corrections and crossings-out, and it was apparent that the crossed-out ink contained crucial information!
"This letter is addressed to the principal..."
Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and the next moment he said to Yang Linlin:
"Let's go to the principal's office."
After quickly tidying up the office with Yang Linlin and putting everything back in its place, Zhao Yi took some of the bills before leaving.
Curious, Yang Linlin asked:
"What are you taking the money for?"
Zhao Yi replied meaningfully:
"Just in case."
Yang Linlin looked puzzled. Even though she had been with Zhao Yi the whole time and had seen everything he had seen, she had no idea what he was thinking!
It felt very much like when everyone used to watch Detective Conan, and Conan would put all the clues together, having a sudden realization, while she remained clueless.
The only thing on Yang Linlin's mind now was that after this adventure, she would definitely have to get her IQ tested!
The two of them left the office, closed the door carefully, and continued upstairs.
"Can you explain in detail?"
"I still don't understand why you took that money!"
Zhao Yi asked in return:
"Why am I brave enough to search for clues in the office?"
"Because you're brave!"
"Why am I brave?"
"How should I know why you're brave?"
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:
"Because I know there's no one in the office."
"So that's why I brought you in."
"I told you, whether this school is inhabited by humans or ghosts, they all follow their own set of rules."
"Teachers are invigilating and, unless there's a special situation, they can't leave the classroom for too long."
"But the principal is different."
"You have to understand, for most of the time the principal is at the school, they're not as busy as the teachers."
"If it's inside the office, we have to find a way to lure it out!"
"Do you understand?"
Yang Linlin's eyes lit up.
"I understand!"
"But... what does all this money have to do with it?"
Zhao Yi gestured for her to be quiet as they reached the top floor, walked along the dark corridor to the right, and finally arrived at the spacious principal's office.
Carefully peering through the window, they indeed saw a dark figure inside!
And at that moment, the unstable data appeared once again!
"Principal: Highly Dangerous!"
"Note: This is obviously not something that you amateurs can confront head-on, but its ability to act has been greatly restricted, causing it to have to run with the same hand and foot."
...
The opponent's data appeared in front of Yang Linlin's eyes.
The principal of Shishan University was indeed sitting in his office, and the action he was doing let Yang Linlin know Zhao Yi's true intentions.
The principal of Shishan University, at this moment, was counting money.
Obviously, the other party is a complete money lover!
Zhao Yi wanted to use the money to lure the principal away!
"You stay here and watch him, I'll go lay the money!"
Zhao Yi whispered and began to spread banknotes on the ground.
He wanted to use these banknotes to attract the principal to a farther place, so they would have time to investigate the events of the past.
Zhao Yi was fast, taking less than ten minutes to come back.
Then they took off their shoes, knocked on the door of the principal's office, and quickly ran up the stairs to the rooftop!
Not long after, the door opened, and a black shadow full of evil appeared at the door.
Its head turned 360 degrees.
No one was seen, but there seemed to be a strange smell in the air...like a stray dog in the school peed at his doorstep.
The black shadow was puzzled and lowered its head.
A bright red banknote appeared in front of it!
It was stunned for a moment, and its body's DNA seemed to be out of control, involuntarily picking up the money.
So when it bent down, it saw a second bill not far away!
The principal was confused.
Damn!
What's going on today?
Am I lucky?
Why is there so much cash on the ground?
Hmm, the stinky smell is even stronger here.
The principal looked at the stairs leading to the rooftop curiously, but after thinking for a long time, he still chose to go downstairs to pick up the money.
Is money more important than a stray dog?
After they led him a little further away, Zhao Yi and Yang Linlin reappeared at the door of the principal's office.
"Yang Linlin, I hope you can go to the bathroom before the next operation."
Zhao Yi seriously warned. They almost got exposed because of the smell of urine on Yang Linlin's body just now.
The darkness covered the hot blush on Yang Linlin's face, and her five pink toes gripped the ground tightly, wishing to dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room in front of the principal's office!
"Okay!"
The two of them didn't waste any time. They both knew that the principal would not be away for too long, and quickly searched the office!
"In the previous letter, it can be seen that a student's mother had a conflict with the school, and the school caused serious harm to her."
"Even...killed his mother."
"So we are looking for the file now."
Yang Linlin, who was rummaging through the cabinet, was confused.
"If it is really as you guessed, this kind of thing that damages the reputation of the school should not be recorded in the school archives, right?"
Zhao Yi carefully looked through a record of the file in his hand and said:
"But there will be records of students dropping out."
"The school and the student's parents have had a huge conflict, and the motivation is nothing more than the safety, health, and academic performance of the child."
"Shishan University is a closed military training school where students go home once a month. School regulations strictly prohibit students from fighting in school, and the supervision is strict. As the number one ranked school in A city, the possibility of campus violence in Shishan University is almost zero!"
"So, the motivation that can make the school and the student's parents have a big fight, even fight fiercely, is most likely related to the student dropping out!"
Yang Linlin's eyes lit up.
Yes!
Why didn't she think of it?
Danmu:
"To be honest, I've become a fan of Zhao Yi this time!"
"As a newcomer, he is really excellent!"
"I'm also a newcomer, and I really want to match with Brother Zhao Yi so that I can win easily!"
"I'm going to follow this Zhao Yi. I feel like I can learn a lot from him!"
