One Hand Claps

The three were all following orders, only concluding Cui Hao's death was a suicide, and didn't know the specifics of the case.

Therefore, the investigation had to continue!

In the afternoon, Chu Sheng and the other person went directly to Shengze No. 1 Middle School, a school that boasted the "city's top college admission rate."

The electronic screen at the school entrance was displaying a countdown: "8 days until the college entrance examination."

The glass curtain wall reflected Chu Sheng's lean figure.

If he hadn't been wearing the Jingwu Bureau uniform, he should have been in school right now.

It was currently the time for students to arrive at school.

Passing students all cast strange glances his way.

"COSPLAY? But isn't it illegal to COS people from the Jingwu Bureau?"

"I don't think so. The craftsmanship is identical to the real thing. It must be real."

"Idiot, you have to be a university graduate to join the Jingwu Bureau, and you also need five years of experience in the Wind Chasing Hall. How old do you think that makes him? He looks younger than you..."

Chu Sheng looked too young.

No one believed he was a patrol officer for the Jingwu Bureau.

A kind-hearted young girl approached and reminded him.

"Classmate, it's illegal to COS law enforcement officers, you know?"

"Which class are you from? Add me on contact info, we can go to the next anime convention together..."

Just then, another person arrived.

It was Wang Qiong, who had accompanied Cui Hao's mother to the Jingwu Bureau.

Even after half a day, the slap mark on her face was still very obvious.

Upon seeing Chu Sheng, Wang Qiong clearly froze, as if she hadn't expected the Jingwu Bureau to act so quickly.

Little did she know, Chu Sheng had already breezed through the Wind Chasing Hall and obtained the confessions of those three people.

"Oh, what happened to your face?"

The two were at the same table, and the previous girl asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Wang Qiong glanced at Chu Sheng and weakly replied, "I bumped into it..."

Afterward, she pulled the girl and hurried away.

"What are you doing? We finally met a handsome guy who likes to COS, why are you pulling me?"

"What COSPLAY... he's actually from the Jingwu Bureau."

"What!!?" the girl didn't believe it. "He looks about our age, how could he be from the Jingwu Bureau?"

"Don't you know where I went this morning? Besides, he has a certain status in the Jingwu Bureau..."

As they spoke, the two walked towards their classroom.

The girl's surprised exclamations continued.

"Young Master Chu, I apologize for making you wait..."

Gao Qiang finally finished parking his car and hurried to meet Chu Sheng.

He saw Chu Sheng staring intently at the college entrance exam countdown.

"It's only 8 days until the college entrance exam. By the way, Young Master Chu, you're so capable, your score on the exam must be very high, right?"

Chu Sheng shook his head.

"Probably. I'll know the specific score after the exam."

Afterward, he walked directly towards the security office.

Gao Qiang was stunned for a moment where he stood.

He'll know the specific score after the exam?

Does that mean he hasn't taken the college entrance exam yet!!!?

Gao Qiang knew Chu Sheng was very young, but he never imagined he was still a high school student!!!

In the security office.

After learning the purpose of their visit, the security guard immediately notified the principal, Zeng Zhiyuan.

Although Cui Hao's incident had been suppressed, as the school's security, he was well aware of how much the school valued this matter.

It was only because the visitors were from the Jingwu Bureau; anyone else, he would have directly kicked them out.

Just like that woman who came to cause trouble with a little girl earlier.

At the same time.

Zeng Zhiyuan, upon hearing the news, immediately called for the senior year director, Hou Yong.

"People from the Jingwu Bureau are here, and they specifically mentioned it's about Cui Hao's case!"

Hearing this, Hou Yong's expression instantly turned extremely grim.

"That damned slut, she's actually not giving up!"

Cui Hao's social connections were very simple; he had no friends, nor any powerful relatives.

The incident had already happened a month ago.

It was only his mother who stubbornly refused to let it go.

He thought that since the Wind Chasing Hall had already been bribed, she, a mere commoner, couldn't stir up any trouble.

He never expected her to be able to find the Jingwu Bureau.

Seeing the worry on Zeng Zhiyuan's face, Hou Yong smiled and said.

"Don't worry, Principal. Cui Hao was already burnt to ashes. Very few people at the school know about this matter, and they wouldn't dare to spread it around.

The Jingwu Bureau handles cases based on evidence. Without evidence, they can't do anything to the school.

I'll handle them. Just wait for my good news with peace of mind."

Zeng Zhiyuan's expression improved significantly.

He was a hands-off principal, merely a figurehead chosen for the role.

When it came to handling matters, he was no match for Hou Yong; the difference was like heaven and earth.

Moreover, Hou Yong was responsible for resolving this matter, and he had simply taken some money.

Asking him to deal with people from the Jingwu Bureau was like forcing a duck to climb a shelf.

After leaving the principal's office.

Hou Yong sneered dismissively.

Honestly, he truly looked down on Zeng Zhiyuan.

Cowardly and utterly incompetent.

However, he was perfect for taking the blame.

No matter what happened, the principal would always be the primary responsible party. He couldn't possibly blame a mere year director like himself, could he?

Even Cui Hao's matter was handled under Zeng Zhiyuan's name.

On the way, he dialed a number.

He informed the other party about the situation here, and also reminded them.

"Mr. Chu, that mother and daughter are ultimately a menace. This time they actually found the Jingwu Bureau. My suggestion is that we can't let them live any longer..."

Arriving outside the school gate, Hou Yong put on a show of running and panting.

"Two inspectors, sorry to keep you waiting."

"With the college entrance examination approaching, there are many things going on. The principal is too busy, so he sent me to liaise with you."

"I am the director of the senior year, Hou Yong. I only know the gist of Cui Hao's situation. Such a promising seedling, but his psychological resilience was too poor. It's truly a shame..."

While speaking, Hou Yong closely watched Gao Qiang's expression.

He had expected Gao Qiang to be the leader between the two.

Unexpectedly, Gao Qiang looked at the young boy beside him.

Seeing the cold smile on the boy's face, Hou Yong's heart instinctively tightened.

"Cui Hao's psychological resilience was very poor?"

"That's rather strange. I heard from his mother that Cui Hao was sensible since he was young, so his psychological resilience shouldn't have been that bad."

Hou Yong wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and chuckled awkwardly.

"Heh heh, perhaps those sensible appearances were just an act."

"The pressure for further education is so high now, and with the college entrance examination nearing, the school has neglected its duty in providing psychological counseling for students."

"This is indeed an oversight in our work..."

Chu Sheng didn't say much, only asking Hou Yong to take the two to Cui Hao's classroom.

School building corridor.

"You say Cui Hao committed suicide, but I heard he was tortured to death?"

"That's not true, that's absolute slander!"

"Then the matter of him offending people and being bullied is also fake?"

Hou Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hands.

"I did hear that Cui Hao isn't very sociable, but the term 'bullying' is really too much. At most, it's just classmates messing around."

"Besides, it takes two to tango."

"Even if there were conflicts, both sides would have reasons."

"Mm…" Chu Sheng nodded.

Then, he slapped Hou Yong.

It takes two to tango?

Chu Sheng didn't believe it, so he wanted to prove it.
