The person straightened up immediately upon hearing this, looking at Zhou Jiao with a tense expression.
"If this place gets sabotaged, the entire city will plunge into darkness and everything will be out of control. Now that someone has committed suicide, we can only have the relevant personnel expedite the investigation."
The implication of the words was understood by the section chief. He immediately returned Zhou Jiao’s documents, saying, "I’ll go make a phone call first; someone might come later to find you..."
Zhou Jiao nodded, "Of course! You go ahead."
As soon as Yi Jiefang saw him leave, he approached and asked in a low voice, "How did you spot a problem with the opponent at a glance? Tell me quickly, where was the flaw? No wonder you acted without saying a word."
Zhou Jiao looked at him speechlessly. Would anyone believe the truth? She also guessed later; it wasn’t until she examined the body that she confirmed it.
"Could there be more accomplices hiding in the shadows? Sigh, I better call Uncle Zhou, no wait, distant help is no good, I’ll call my brother first and have him send people over..."
Zhou Jiao quickly stepped forward to block him. If everyone knew about this, could she still stay in Lingnan? She had bigger things to do!
"It’s not as serious as you think! If there were accomplices, someone would’ve stepped forward to help before these people came, they wouldn’t just wait around to watch the excitement?"
Yi Jiefang tilted his head in thought.
Zhou Jiao pressed on, "If I’m not mistaken. There’s a hidden enemy here who didn’t expect to be discovered by us siblings. Initially, he pretended not to know martial arts, did you notice? I shouted ’enemy agent,’ and cornered, he drew his knife."
Yi Jiefang recalled and nodded along with her words.
"Moreover, when the city bureau people arrive, once we explain the situation and file a case, there won’t be no rats, even if there are, they’d be scared to death, how would they dare come for me?"
"Zhou Jiao, fellow student, makes sense, but we can’t stay here just in case. Tomorrow, we’ll head back to the provincial city, and return to the grassroots once this is settled."
Zhou Jiao was startled by Professor Wei’s voice and turned around to see, quite unexpectedly, some professors and teachers were behind her listening in. Zhou Jiao glared at Yi Jiefang, this fool, didn’t alert her!
Yi Jiefang scratched his head. Was it his fault? His heart was still pounding even now.
"Um, Zhou Jiao, classmate, go wash your hands, and calm down. Later, people from the police station will come and ask you about the situation."
Zhou Jiao listened to Counselor Wu and looked at her hands, suppressing laughter as she bade them farewell. Didn’t expect even teachers to be afraid of corpses.
Once she stepped away, Professor Wei glanced at the students before him and smiled, "Don’t worry. You go wash up too, organize your classmates to rest in their rooms."
Yi Jiefang couldn’t wait to leave.
Although Zhou Jiao made a reasonable argument, until they left this place, nowhere felt safe. He still needed to remind her, and gather the classmates together, with more people, any situation would be less frightening.
Once they left, Professor Wei smiled at his three colleagues, "Who would have thought?"
"Indeed! We really shouldn’t underestimate people."
"We’ve really gotten old; so many days and we didn’t find a single clue."
