Detective Zheng Kaiming (Part 1)

The four lackeys felt incredibly wronged. True, they had come to deal with Shi Tiexin, and they had indeed been beaten. In the past, they had always extorted and blackmailed others, living carefree lives, never caring how others felt. Today, they had suffered a real loss, a huge loss, yet Zheng Kaiming didn't believe them. They finally experienced what it felt like to be wronged.

Their chests felt like they were about to tear open!

"I, I I, I falsely accused and framed him? I'm being unreasonable?" The four struggled to catch their breath, filled with resentment, and blurted out loudly, "Big Squarehead, you don't believe us!"

"Big, Big Squarehead?!" Zheng Kaiming was about to explode upon hearing that. This could be considered his physical flaw; he hated it the most when people brought it up. It was one thing if some close colleagues made jokes about it, but how dare these brats call him Big Squarehead? They were asking for death!

"Bullshit!" Zheng Kaiming was furious. "A bunch of turtle grandsons and bastard sons, daring to come to me to frame a classmate? Who is Shi Tiexin? A weak scholar with no strength to even truss a chicken! Who are you guys? And who is that Teng Chaoguo? Do you think I don't know? One against five, you really dare to say it, dare to make it up!"

The four were stunned.

A weak scholar with no strength to even truss a chicken?

Did that fierce, tough guy appear that way in your eyes? And you say we dare to make things up, but you're the real master of creation!

Zheng Kaiming felt his mind clear from anger, and he decided to crush these four intellectually. He asked loudly, "You said Teng Chaoguo was also beaten, and beaten badly. Then where is Teng Chaoguo? Why hasn't he come to complain?"

"Teng Chaoguo he..." The four didn't know what to say.

Zheng Kaiming couldn't help but sneer, "The one who was beaten the worst hasn't come to complain, but you few who are fine are running around causing trouble. What does that tell me? Could it be that Teng Chaoguo was beaten into the hospital?"

These guys were used to talking nonsense. One lackey immediately blurted out a lie, "Yes, yes, yes, he's in the hospital, they're all trying to save him!"

Zheng Kaiming didn't waste any more words. He made a call to the security department: "Hello, it's me. Did any students leave campus today? No? Good." Click, the call ended. Zheng Kaiming looked at the four with a half-smile, "Should I call the school hospital to confirm, to see if student Teng Chaoguo is being rescued at the school hospital?"

The four were speechless; they had no idea how to cover this up.

Fabricating stories and framing classmates seemed to be confirmed.

The fat guy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He felt truly wronged and couldn't help but spill the truth, "Teng Chaoguo, he, he's not in the hospital, he's too ashamed to show his face!"

"Why?"

"Because he—"

"Hey, Fatty!" The other lackeys tried to stop Fatty from speaking. But Fatty struggled free and yelled indignantly, "What are you afraid of? Who doesn't know? I'm going to say it! Teng Chaoguo doesn't dare to show his face right now because he lost face badly this time. He was thrown into a urine bucket and made to bathe in it!"

"Pfft—!" Zheng Kaiming almost spat out his drink. In his long career as a dean, he thought nothing could faze him anymore. But this incident was truly shocking, making him show a genuinely disbelieving expression: "Urine, urine bucket... bathing?"

Since it had been said, the other lackeys also threw caution to the wind and said in a rush, "Yeah, in the Black Toilet, many urine buckets were knocked over!" "It spilled all over the floor, so smelly you couldn't stand it!"

This matter... Zheng Kaiming looked at the four swearing and vowing, and his suspicion began to grow. This situation was too unusual. If it were truly fabricated slander, people wouldn't usually make up such a shocking scenario. Besides, once this kind of thing got out, they wouldn't be able to stay in this school anymore. To frame someone, there was no need to self-sabotage to such an extent.

Zheng Kaiming was skeptical, "Did anyone see it?"

"Everyone saw it, everyone!" "Students from Class 28 all know!" "Come with us and see, Teacher, if you follow us to take a look, you'll understand!"

See?

Well, seeing is believing.

Zheng Kaiming stood up, "Let's go, let's go see. If you dare to lie to me..."

"No, no, it's true, it couldn't be truer!" Seeing that they had persuaded Zheng Kaiming, the four felt like the clouds had parted and the sun was shining. They happily surrounded Zheng Kaiming and headed towards the Trash Class building. For the first time, they felt that the Square-headed Fiend was so good, practically the embodiment of justice and righteousness. They were relying on Big Squarehead to uphold justice!

A moment later, the five appeared in the Black Toilet of the Trash Class.

Zheng Kaiming looked at the floor of the Black Toilet, his expression grim. He suddenly pointed at the ground and yelled sternly, "This is what you call spilled all over the floor?"

The four were dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened at all. The floor of the Black Toilet in the Trash Class was not only not unbearably smelly, but it was actually quite clean, with no traces visible.

Wh-what's going on?!

"N-no, that's not right, that's not right!" The four lackeys rushed in, unable to believe their own eyes. They looked around, then gestured, "It's right here, it's right here! These buckets were all knocked over, and the urine spilled out in a large area, this..."

Looking at the urine buckets, they were all full, with no indication that any were missing.

Did they encounter a ghost?!

This was too bizarre!

"N-no, impossible, this is impossible!" The four were horrified and frantically surrounded Zheng Kaiming, "T-teacher, you have to believe us, believe us!"

Zheng Kaiming was already impatient. He glanced at the four with disgust, but still decided to handle student affairs meticulously. "I'll give you one last chance. See if there are any other witnesses. Didn't you say that students from Class 28, First Year all knew about this? Let's go to Class 28 and see if anyone will testify for you!"

The four exchanged glances, feeling uneasy in their hearts. Go to Class 28 to get evidence? But they had thoroughly offended Class 28, so who would testify for them?

They could only hope that the Black Hand Hungry Tiger's influence was still present. They would quietly threaten a few people and see if it still worked.

When they arrived at Class 28, it was nearing the time for the afternoon class, and about half the students were already in the classroom. Seeing Zheng Kaiming enter, the students from the Trash Class were as quiet as if they had encountered their natural predator. However, upon seeing the four lurking at the doorway, the students of Class 28 immediately exchanged glances, understanding the situation.

"I'll take up a little of your time to ask a few questions. This noon, someone came to me to accuse student Shi Tiexin from your class, saying that he beat Teng Chaoguo and four others during the break between the first and second periods this morning." Zheng Kaiming scanned the room, "Did anyone see it?"

The boys and girls of Class 28 instantly looked at the four with contempt. Damn, they used to bully others with such swagger, acting all tough and streetwise. Now that they were beaten, they ran to report to the teacher? What a disgrace to delinquent youths! Compared to a tough and powerful fighter like Shi Tiexin, they were simply trash!
