Half an hour later, Deng Jianzhong arrived at the police station. At the same time, the new director of the bureau, Wang Qiao, also arrived.

Deng Jianzhong also brought his daughter Deng Yaqi with him. He was relieved to see that Tang Xiaocao was safe and sound.

"Principal Deng, why are you here?"

Tang Xiaocao still respected Deng Jianzhong very much. This was because Tang Xiaobao had greeted her. Moreover, it was Deng Jianzhong's request that she come to No. 1 Middle School. He also invited her to several meals, all of which were family dinners.

"How could I not come? You almost lost your life."

Deng Jianzhong looked stern and asked Wang Qiao, "Xiao Wang, has the case been investigated yet?"

Wang Qiao was also a native of Tongjiang and had once been Deng Jianzhong's student. Therefore, he was equally timid about Deng Jianzhong and quickly said, "Principal Deng, I've asked the criminal police team to retrieve the nearby surveillance footage. We will definitely solve the case as soon as possible."

"How long is as soon as possible?" Deng Jianzhong asked.

Wang Qiao began to wipe the sweat off his face.

Is this a deadline to solve the case?

"Principal Deng, we'll do our best. It's just a matter of time. I can't promise anything. You taught me not to boast. I need to be down-to-earth and honest. I must tell the truth and not lie."

Damn, he wanted to shut Deng Jianzhong up first.

"snort!"

Deng Jianzhong snorted coldly, "You want to fill my mouth first, right? Okay, I admit I said that back then, but I'll give you three days to solve the case."

Wang Qiao's forehead was covered with sweat. He had just received a call from the Municipal Bureau, who were also furious. However, they did not give him a deadline. But Deng Jianzhong only gave him three days. How could he fail in this?

Although the police who checked the surveillance footage had not yet reported back, Wang Qiao had a rough idea of ​​the murderer after reading the transcript.

This is a veteran, and very likely even a professional killer.

Facing such an opponent, who has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, it is almost impossible to solve the case in three days.

Seeing Wang Qiao's face flushed and he remained silent, Deng Jianzhong said, "The city's criminal police team will be here soon, led by Wei Bing. You'll need to cooperate in solving the case, but I'll only give you three days. If you don't solve the case and apprehend the murderer by then, it'll be like the college entrance exam, don't you know? Also, after three days, regardless of whether you solve the case or not, I will notify Tang Xiaobao. We can't keep this a secret for too long, or you'll be under even greater pressure in the future."

Wang Qiao nodded with a bitter face and agreed. After chatting with Wang Qiao for a few words, Deng Jianzhong and Wang Qiao took Tang Xiaocao to the hospital.

I couldn’t enter the intensive care unit, nor could I disturb Li Mingxuan’s rest.

Glancing out the window, Deng Jianzhong said to Wang Qiao, "Have you sent someone to protect this place?"

"Don't worry, Principal Deng, I have sent capable people to set up defenses 24 hours a day." Wang Qiao said quickly.

"He's an important witness. Even if we catch the murderer, we'll need him to testify in court. You have to make sure he's okay."

"I understand, Principal Deng."

Deng Jianzhong turned to Tang Xiaocao and said, "Come on, come back with me. I've already notified his parents, and there are nurses here to take care of him. There's no point in you staying."

Although Tang Xiaobao appears strong in front of outsiders, he is extremely obedient in front of Deng Jianzhong.

After leaving the hospital, we got in the car and Deng Yaqi drove.

Deng Jianzhong was sitting in the back row. He looked unhappy all the way, which made Tang Xiaocao, who was sitting next to him, very uneasy.

"The college entrance exam is in three days. Why are you off campus?"

Tang Xiaocao: "I, I——"

"You're not in a premature love relationship, are you?" Deng Jianzhong asked.

Tang Xiaocao blushed and quickly said, "No, Principal."

"Then tell me, why do you want to leave the school today?" Deng Jianzhong softened his tone.

Not daring to hide anything, Tang Xiaocao explained the whole story honestly.

"Li Mingxuan's family situation is so difficult? Then why doesn't he apply for subsidies from the school?" Deng Jianzhong frowned.

Tang Xiaocao didn't say anything.

"Did you pay for the hospitalization?"

"yes."

"I'll ask the school to give you the money later."

"No need, Principal Deng, this is what I should do. He saved my life." Tang Xiaocao said seriously.

Deng Jianzhong sighed. "That's what they call good things happening to good people. Such a timid little boy actually risked his life against the killer just for you. It seems like he's grateful to you."

Tang Xiaocao felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, we wouldn't have come out today. At least he wouldn't have been hurt."

"There's no point in saying all this. They've already got their eyes on you. Even if you're fine today, what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? They'll definitely make a move whenever you come out. Even with this outcome today, exposing them early is beneficial to you."

Deng Jianzhong continued, "From now on, you are not allowed to leave the school gate until the college entrance examination is over. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Principal Deng, but, but, what about Li Mingxuan's college entrance examination?"

"I can only let him repeat one year for free," Deng Jianzhong said. "He's definitely not going to catch up on the college entrance exam. If he's really promising, a year later won't make the difference, and he can still get into a better university. As you said, he should have a good foundation, it's just that his family conditions are a little less favorable. I've made note of all this."

Obviously, he wanted to help Tang Xiaocao further.

Tang Xiaocao also heard it, but said, "Principal Deng, he was injured this time because of me. His family is in trouble, so I should help solve it. Give me a chance to make amends."

"That's fine." Deng Jianzhong agreed without thinking.
