Detective Zheng Kaiming (Part 2)

Furthermore, you guys bullied our class, yet you still dare to come to our class to find witnesses. Are you stupid?

"Didn't see anything."

"Didn't hear anything."

"Didn't notice anything."

"No, probably not."

Class 28 spoke in unison, fully backing Shi Tiexin.

The four lackeys were anxious. If they couldn't seize this last chance, their injustice would truly never be redressed. The four immediately rushed into Class 28, shouting, "Nonsense, you're all talking nonsense! You all saw it!"

In the morning, these people were as quiet as cicadas in winter when facing Black Hand Hungry Tiger.

But in the afternoon, everything changed.

Our class has Big Brother Tie, why should we be afraid of this bunch of little brats?

"See what?"

"Utterly nonsensical."

"Truly inexplicable!"

The four lackeys were panicked and confused. They looked at the disgusted, hateful, and contemptuous faces of Class 28 and truly felt that their status in the underworld had fallen to the lowest point. Normally, this small group was domineering and swaggered like street tigers, appearing incredibly powerful. But did the people who feared them and were afraid of them not harbor any anger in their hearts?

It's just that everyone knows that the bird that sticks its head out gets shot, and no one dared to be the first to step forward, or rather, no one could step forward and not fall.

Now, Shi Tiexin had become the one who stepped forward and didn't fall. Since he didn't fall, he became a banner. This banner might not be very useful elsewhere, but it was exceptionally useful when opposing Teng Chaoguo and the street tigers.

No one feared them anymore.

No one.

The four were panicking. No, this won't do. If no one supports us, this play will truly be a flop! We must find someone, we must find someone to testify for us! Who, who else would be afraid of us? Right, isn't there the most timid guy in this class? The one who didn't dare to fart even after we slapped him in the face this morning!

"Zhao Qingmiao! You saw it, right!"

The four yelled at Zhao Qingmiao in the front row.

However, Zheng Kaiming wouldn't let these kids show off. He let out a scolding, "What are you shouting about? Shut up, all of you!" He looked at Zhao Qingmiao and asked sternly, "Did you see what Shi Tiexin did during the second break?"

"Hello, Teacher Zheng." Zhao Qingmiao stood up, looking like an honest, bookish nerd, and timidly said, "Classmate Shi Tiexin... went to the restroom."

The four were immediately overjoyed. This guy was still afraid of us!

Zheng Kaiming pressed further, "What did he do in the restroom?"

Zhao Qingmiao looked confused, saying as a matter of course, "Went to the restroom, of course, to use the restroom. What else could he do?"

"Didn't do anything else?"

"No, Classmate Shi Tiexin just joined Class 28 and wasn't familiar with the locations, so we all went to the restroom together." Zhao Qingmiao stated confidently, "He peed a big stream and came back."

This, this! The four felt as if they were buried in boundless darkness, surrounded by lies and illusions, making it impossible for them to even breathe. It was as if they had sunk into the boundless deep sea, suffocating, oppressive, dark, and powerless to survive.

Is there still fairness and justice in this world?!

"This student," Zheng Kaiming looked at Zhao Qingmiao for a moment, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Qingmiao was covered in sweat and panting, with a flushed face from exertion, indeed looking quite abnormal.

"No, I just like to exercise after lunch. I ran all the way here just now, and I'm all sweaty." Zhao Qingmiao said shyly, "The school says we should develop morally, intellectually, and physically. I think we shouldn't neglect physical exercise either."

"Hmm, okay, I have no further questions." Zheng Kaiming turned and walked off the podium. He was not polite to the four who were still staring at each other, and with a swift kick, he sent the fat guy flying, "What are you spacing out for? Get out of here!"

The four sheepishly followed Zheng Kaiming out of the classroom.

As soon as they entered the corridor, regardless of the fact that class was about to start and the corridor was crowded with people, Zheng Kaiming had no intention of saving them any face. A roar erupted from him: "You guys, you really have quite the nerve! Fooling the teacher, falsely accusing classmates, framing others, do you really think the teacher is a fool!"

"Teacher Zheng, we..."

"All of you shut up! If you dare to argue back one more word, I'll make sure you regret it today!" Zheng Kaiming's face was furious, and he pointed at the four, saying fiercely, "The four of you, and that Teng Chaoguo, I've heard about what kind of people you are. Don't think you're so clever that the school can't do anything to you."

"I've noted this incident today. If I hear of any further malicious incidents involving you, even if there's no evidence caught on the spot, I'm telling you, I have the ability to make all of you get kicked out of Fengming First High School! You'll get a major demerit first, then you'll be expelled, and you'll never be able to hold your heads up again!"

"Get out!"

From a distant corner of the wall, Zhou Nan peeked out half of his face, secretly watching. Hearing Zheng Kaiming's roar, Zhou Nan was completely stunned. Even though the evidence was clear and the facts were obvious, Zheng Kaiming completely ignored it and even reprimanded those four, calling them slanderers and false accusers. This was simply twisting black and white!

This Square-headed Fiend has always been perceptive, so why is he so muddled today?

No, perhaps he's not muddled...

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. When that kid first came to the dormitory... Zheng Kaiming paved the way... the three major discipline committee members escorted him... and today Zheng Kaiming is openly calling white black and reversing cause and effect, clearly protecting that kid... Could it be that that kid isn't really an ordinary poor nobody, but has some hidden significant identity?

No, let's not even consider that possibility for now. Just looking at what's happening before his eyes. Zheng Kaiming has openly declared his support for Shi Tiexin. Then, who in the school could Shi Tiexin possibly fear now?

I'm afraid he can basically run rampant in the Trash Class now!

Should I... should I really make an enemy of someone like this for the sake of being a big brother in Class 28?

Zhou Nan's fear of Shi Tiexin grew by another fraction. From last night until now, three-tenths from the front, three-tenths from the middle, and three-tenths from the back, he had already become nine-tenths fearful.

On Zheng Kaiming's side, after yelling and scolding the four and making them scurry away, the nature of this incident was outwardly confirmed. But after the four had all left, Zheng Kaiming listened carefully and heard the suppressed whispers and low cheers from the students of Class 28, as if they had won a great victory.

Zheng Kaiming's thoughts raced, and he suddenly started walking back to the Black Toilet.

Standing at the entrance of the Black Toilet, Zheng Kaiming carefully observed the ground and found that there were still some anomalies, namely – it was too clean. He knew very well what the Black Toilet was like; who would be so diligent in cleaning the toilet?

"Was this... washed with water?"

Recalling Zhao Qingmiao's sweaty appearance just now, Zheng Kaiming pondered for a moment and then walked out.

"Discipline Committee, call Shi Tiexin from Class 28, First Year, to my office. Yes, that Shi Tiexin, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him."

Happy New Year's Day, wishing you good luck in the Year of the Pig! Continuing today, three chapters coming up~
