Jiang Li was knocking on a wall.
After a few moments, the wall cracked.
Cement and bricks outside were falling down in a rustling sound.
Soon, everyone saw a body that had been bricked up inside the wall.
"This..." The police officers were stunned, completely unexpected.
“The dance studio was shut down last year.” Lu Shiyan, who was standing next to him, remembered this incident. He took out his phone and said, “I’ll have someone investigate who used the dance studio before and who had an accident at the school.”
Lu Shiyan has an inescapable responsibility to cooperate in handling a murder case that occurred at the school.
Just as Lu Shiyan was about to dial and order someone to investigate, Jiang Li snatched the phone away.
“Since the deceased died at the school, anyone at the school could be the murderer.” Jiang Li looked at Lu Shiyan and said, “If Mr. Lu sends someone else to retrieve the information, it will alert the murderer. If the murderer knows this, won’t they run away in advance?”
If Jiang Li hadn't known the identities of the victim and the murderer beforehand, she would have approved of Lu Shiyan's actions.
After all, there's no other way.
But once you know who the other person is, you naturally have to be wary of them.
“Ah… I remember now…” Lu Jiming caught Jiang Li’s gaze and immediately began to perform, “During the time this dance studio was closed, the school also announced that Teacher Chen had suddenly resigned and stopped coming to work. At the time, she was used as a negative example, and all the teachers were told not to follow her example. Because of the excessive pressure, she directly sent a resignation letter and stopped coming to school…”
"Which Ms. Chen?" the police officer immediately grasped the key information. "And who notified her of her resignation?"
"Director of the Academic Affairs Office," Lu Jiming blinked, answering with some confusion.
Two police officers were left behind, while the rest went to find the director of the academic affairs office.
Jiang Li and Lu Jiming exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Before they had taken two steps, a chilling statement rang out behind Jiang Li and Lu Jiming...
"You two are deliberately trying to mislead the police into investigating Zhang Jiancheng, by preventing me from conducting an investigation and providing such pointed clues?"
Zhang Jiancheng is the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
“Mr. Lu, what are you saying?” Jiang Li smiled innocently. “I just started registering at the school today. I don’t even know who Zhang Jiancheng is. How could I let the police investigate him?”
It's not that she's not telling the truth, but if she says she learned the real culprit from the female ghost, would the police believe her?
It's already a good thing they didn't send her to a mental hospital.
Lu Shiyan acknowledged Jiang Li's words, then looked at Lu Jiming, "You said it, so what exactly do you know?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
He's a complete traitor, isn't he?
“I don’t know anything…” Lu Jiming decided to passively resist by remaining silent.
"Don't know?" Lu Shiyan scoffed. "Fine, I understand. Starting next month, your allowance will be halved."
Lu Jiming: "!!!"
Jiang Li patted Lu Jiming's arm sympathetically.
Lu Jiming suddenly felt a chill down his back, and he immediately moved to the side.
Given his uncle's treacherous and cunning nature, he would never dare to do anything to Jiang Li and would have to pretend to be a gentleman in front of her.
So Jiang Li could pat his arm, but similarly, his uncle could dislocate his arm behind his back.
Waaaaah...
It's so hard for him.
So it's definitely necessary to latch onto this future aunt's coattails, but it's also essential to maintain a proper distance.
Otherwise, if he accidentally crosses the line one day and happens to be seen by his uncle, then the next corpse found hidden in the wall will probably be him.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
When the police arrived, Zhang Jiancheng was in his office, arguing with another female teacher.
Upon seeing the police, Zhang Jiancheng immediately released the female teacher, who then ran away.
After straightening his clothes, Zhang Jiancheng resumed his usual dignified demeanor.
"Officers, what can I do for you?" Zhang Jiancheng asked.
"We found a body in an abandoned dance studio and came to you to ask about the situation," the police officer said bluntly.
"A...a corpse?" Zhang Jiancheng's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but he quickly concealed it. "The abandoned dance studio school has been abandoned for a long time, and students generally don't go there. How could this be..."
“It seems Director Zhang doesn’t quite believe us. Why don’t you come with us and take a look?” Jiang Li suddenly said. “Once you see the body, you’ll know we’re telling the truth.”
"No, I'm not going!" As if remembering something, Zhang Jiancheng's face suddenly turned ugly. "I don't want to see that woman's dead body!"
"How did Director Zhang know that the corpse was a woman?" Jiang Li feigned a look of doubt, asking with a touch of naivety, "We didn't mention the gender of the deceased, did we?"
As she spoke, Jiang Li threw a talisman at Zhang Jiancheng, which allowed him to clearly see the appearance of the female ghost.
The female ghost cooperated perfectly, immediately rushing in front of Zhang Jiancheng and making a terrifying expression.
"Zhang Jiancheng...give me back my life..."
Zhang Jiancheng screamed, his eyes filled with indescribable terror, his entire face contorted instantly.
He looked at the female ghost and, in a panic, began to utter incoherent words.
"I clearly sealed you away, how did you get out? So much time has passed, why are you still clinging to me?"
"It's your fault! It's all your fault. If you had just obeyed me, none of this would have happened! You can only blame yourself. If you hadn't insisted on reporting me, I wouldn't have accidentally killed you!"
"It's not my fault...it's not my fault..."
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault... Ah! Don't come any closer!!!"
The others present couldn't see the female ghost and were all dumbfounded, staring at Zhang Jiancheng who had suddenly gone mad.
Zhang Jiancheng, who had just been vehemently denying everything, is now saying whatever comes to mind.
Seeing that she had completed her mission, the female ghost immediately shrank back to Jiang Li's side.
Only when she is close to Jiang Li can she remain clear-headed; otherwise, she is likely to lose control.
Although killing Zhang Jiancheng would bring her great pleasure, it would also bring her utter ruin.
To expose Zhang Jiancheng's crimes to the world, to make him face legal punishment, and to be condemned by the masses would be more painful for him than death.
With the female ghost no longer around to scare him, Zhang Jiancheng quickly returned to normal.
He acted as if nothing had happened.
"Teacher Zhang, who did you accidentally kill?" the policeman suddenly asked Zhang Jiancheng.
Zhang Jiancheng gave a fake smile, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. "When did I kill anyone? Do you think the police would take a joke without evidence seriously?"
"If there is evidence, will you confess?" Jiang Li asked seriously, holding back the female ghost who was about to rush up and bite Zhang Jiancheng to death.
"Of course!"
Jiang Li took out three copper coins and handed them to Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan looked surprised. "What are you doing?"
"Divination".
Lu Shiyan blinked, then obediently tossed a coin into the toss.
Jiang Li examined the divination results and instructed, "Take three steps to the right, step forward, then turn right again. The evidence is right there."
Lu Jiming, understanding the situation, acted as the errand boy, and then...
Before him was a perfectly smooth white wall.
