Lu Xiaoyao has always given people the impression of being incredibly silly.
Even Julian didn't expect Lu Xiaoyao to be so arrogant.
So much so that Julian couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she started arguing with the police.
He was worried that she would cry at any moment.
"Without any evidence, you took me out of the school just because I was in the same room as the deceased. Didn't you think about what would happen if my reputation was damaged because of this?"
"Or do you already have some strong evidence to prove that I did it?"
"Not yet? No, there never was, okay? I'm innocent too!"
"Do you know what kind of situation my school is in? Those people don't study all day, all they do is spread rumors. I was already being slandered and bullied by them, and you weren't this enthusiastic back then. What, now that someone has died, you're all anxious and looking for a scapegoat?"
"Please correct your attitude! We will not slander anyone!" The police officer, who had been silenced for a long time by Lu Xiaoyao's words, finally lost his temper and slammed his hand on the table to silence her.
"Oh, so what did you find out from your investigation?"
When no one was criticizing her, Lu Xiaoyao was full of confidence, but after the other party raised their voice a little, she became obedient again, and then pouted and said: "Anyway, it wasn't me, you have to clear my name."
Julian was not allowed into the interrogation room; he was instead taken to give a statement in another room by other people.
Regarding Lu Xiaoyao's feud with someone at school.
“She told me that, but she also told me that it would be beneath me to argue with someone like that.”
Regardless of how Lu Xiaoyao got involved in the murder case, Julian spoke very carefully throughout.
He didn't want his words to lead to unfounded speculations from Lu Xiaoyao.
"Kids their age are passionate and decisive, and some of their actions can be a bit excessive. I've been trying to reason with my child, worried that she might be too soft-hearted and tolerate things, so I've also spoken to her teacher about it." (M.cascoo.net)
As Julian spoke, he even produced his chat history and phone recordings with Lu Xiaoyao's homeroom teacher. In fact, this later homeroom teacher was just Mona's puppet. Julian did this simply to see how much control Mona had over the school.
Unless she wants to, these teacher NPCs will not take the initiative to deal with anything, no matter what it is.
Julian's words here are quite something. On one hand, he said that Lu Xiaoyao's personality is not that of someone who would do such a thing, and on the other hand, this recording also indirectly proves the inaction of the school's upper management. Regardless of who the real murderer is, at least the school cannot be separated from the fact that this conflict has escalated to this point.
“But even a rabbit will bite when cornered.” Julian then added, “Don’t let my gentle nature fool you; when she’s angry, she can be quite rude, though it’s only in words.”
Julian remembered hearing Lu Xiaoyao's strange voice from next door when he came in earlier. Although the voice was quieter later, Lu Xiaoyao's voice was still audible through the wall, which showed that it was quite loud.
It makes no sense that the previous description of Lu Xiaoyao as a well-behaved girl with a good personality would completely contradict the version seen by the police taking her statement.
...
"My God, so you guys stayed at the police station this late..."
It was already midnight when they saw Lu Xiaoyao and Julian come out. Mingmei and Mu Chen pretended to be on a date and bought some late-night snacks. They passed by the police station and handed the two bowls of spicy hot pot they were carrying to the two of them. The four of them found a nearby barbecue stall and sat down to eat skewers and spicy hot pot while chatting about what had happened that day.
Although Mingmei and Muchen already knew most of what was going on, hearing it from Lu Xiaoyao was still quite frightening.
"If I had known this would actually happen, I wouldn't have told Mona those things."
Lu Xiaoyao was eating spicy hot pot with gusto, and almost choked while talking.
"Even though I didn't do it, I still feel terrified..."
Lu Xiaoyao had long lost the imposing manner she had displayed at the police station, and her heart trembled slightly as she spoke.
Julian took Lu Xiaoyao's hand from the side, held it tightly, looked at her, and whispered words of comfort. But as soon as he spoke, Lu Xiaoyao burst into tears.
So much so that the passersby and NPCs at the next table all turned to look.
The four of them, looking like a badger peeking out to find melons in a melon patch, were talking about something very serious, but Mingmei suddenly felt that the atmosphere in front of her seemed less sad.
"Waaaaah, I really want to go straight back to school and kill Mona right now!"
After crying, Lu Xiaoyao angrily picked up a skewer of meat and stuffed it into her mouth. She was so sad that she even said things like fighting the boss.
"I've already asked your homeroom teacher for leave, so you don't need to go to school for the remaining two days of this week." Julian had already asked for leave after receiving the call from the police station.
"No way, I won't go back. What if Mona does something and none of you know?" Lu Xiaoyao thought about how she used to be able to send messages to Julian every day at school, so what was the point of staying at home now?
Mingmei remained silent in response.
Although she really wanted to keep an eye on Mona through Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, judging from what happened today, Lu Xiaoyao going back was not a good choice.
"We can close the net this weekend. It's good that Lu Xiaoyao can come to the plan as soon as she leaves school. We just happen to be short-handed."
"Why are we short-handed?" Julian was slightly taken aback when he heard Mu Chen say this.
When he met Mu Chen's deep, unfathomable eyes, he realized that Mu Chen wasn't just comforting Lu Xiaoyao, nor was he lying to them; they genuinely didn't have enough manpower.
"What exactly happened?"
Lu Xiaoyao also noticed the blank look in Julian's eyes when he met Mu Chen's gaze. She immediately put down the skewers in her hand, sat up straight, and said, "Boss, what happened? Tell us about it."
“Meimei discovered this first; she found more information than I did.” Mu Chen gently patted Mingmei’s arm and handed the message to her. Mingmei glanced at Mu Chen, then turned to meet two pairs of eyes brimming with curiosity, and recounted what had happened in the past two days.
Regarding Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang's past actions and the possibility that they are now the serial killers constantly reported in the newspapers.
"Wow..." Lu Xiaoyao was about to exclaim in surprise, but fortunately Julian's presence made her mind to her image and she didn't finish the sentence.
She turned her head to meet the person who had just turned around in shock and looked at her with confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Xiaoyao didn't understand why Julian was looking at her after his initial shock.
"Did you forget to finish saying 'Holy shit'?"
Lu Xiaoyao: ? ? ? ?
LOL, she's probably a rather peculiar image in Julian's mind too _(：3」∠)_
