Chapter 12: The Ungrateful Younger Brother, the Terrible Uncle?
Ji Huaizhi stared silently at the last blank folder.
Zhang Youwei saw it too, and looked at him in horror: "Your name..."
"Yes, that's my name."
“I am his next target.”
Zhang Youwei felt cold sweat seeping from his pores, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if someone was pounding his chest.
Ji Huaizhi turned around and looked at them.
Given their situation, further intervention will likely be necessary.
This information could be considered leverage against many people, including Jiang Cheng himself.
The victims included both men and women; aside from some videos and photos of animal abuse, the rest were all students.
Everyone fell silent at that moment.
[Host, someone is coming this way.]
Ji Huaizhi suddenly looked up at the tightly closed door.
He put his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh~"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Youwei immediately covered Liu Shuai's mouth, ignoring the foreign object on his body. Liu Shuai stared wide-eyed, gripping Zhang Youwei's hand tightly, his scalp tingling instantly.
Ji Huaizhi raised his hand to turn off the computer monitor and calmly looked towards the door.
Judging by the time, the police definitely haven't arrived yet.
The person who came over...
Not long after, footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside.
The three of them held their breath and dared not move.
"Strange, why are the security cameras here malfunctioning?" A flash of light came through, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be the person on duty.
Once the noise outside subsided, Zhang Youwei removed his numb hands, and Liu Shuai was finally able to breathe again, but dared not cry any more.
Both of them had their eyes on Ji Huaizhi.
Meeting their gazes, Ji Huaizhi could still manage a smile: "I told you not to look anymore. Someone will be here soon, and they will take you back."
"Get some rest, everything will be fine when you come back to school next time."
“Ji Huaizhi, you knew about this all along…” Zhang Youwei couldn’t bring himself to call him Brother Ji anymore, seeing his smug look.
"I guessed a little bit."
"Waaaaah, I want my mom! This is so scary!" Liu Shuai clung to Zhang Youwei, refusing to let go.
After the intense tension, both of them were exhausted: "Get lost, you stink."
"Ji Huaizhi, aren't you afraid?" Zhang Youwei felt something was off about his behavior.
He's changed a lot since he came back.
"What am I afraid of? I'm not the one who did something wrong." Ji Huaizhi looked at the computer: "Besides, if I really faced him, I think he wouldn't be able to beat me."

Zhang Youwei and Liu Shuai were so frightened that they couldn't get anything out of them, so Li Feng first found someone to send them back.
Then he looked at Ji Huaizhi.
This floor of the teaching building was very bright. Li Feng walked up to him and said, "I have already sent someone to arrest Jiang Cheng."
Ji Huaizhi barely glanced at them fiddling with the computer: "He's already run away."
Liu Song frowned: "How did you know?"
Ji Huaizhi tilted his head: "After I decrypted it, he received the message on his phone, so of course he ran away. Did you think we'd wait for you to catch him?"
"You?" Li Feng didn't know what to say: "It's not this..."
Ji Huaizhi: "Don't worry, I'm his next prey, he'll definitely come looking for me."
“For someone like him, being caught by the police and having his crimes exposed gives him a thrill, and that thrill makes him even more insane. It's like…” Ji Huaizhi looked at them, his gaze filled with certainty:
"It's like a speed contest with you guys, seeing if he can stab me first, or if you can catch him first."
Liu Song remained silent.
He stared intently at Ji Huaizhi's expression; he was all too familiar with the perpetrator's methods and psychology.
It's like the resonance of kindred spirits.
"However, you can search his place; there will probably be other evidence there as well."
"There's a video up there. You can go and arrest the other people in there first. Let's see if you dare to arrest them."
After all, those people didn't look simple at all.
The principals are probably just low-level clerks.
"Ji Huaizhi, aren't you afraid?" Liu Song frowned as he looked at him, noticing that his face didn't show the same fear as the other two classmates; instead, it seemed as if he was looking forward to it.
Ji Huaizhi didn't speak, but Li Feng seemed to see excitement in his eyes.
Liu Song brought Ji Huaizhi into the bureau, saying that the bureau chief wanted to speak with him.
These people definitely won't be able to sleep tonight. Liu Song saw that Li Feng was holding a bowl of instant noodles, so he told the people around him to leave first and walked over to Li Feng.
"I feel that Ji Huaizhi is a dangerous element."
Li Feng looked up: "I don't think so. Look, doesn't he know to call the police and find the police officer if he has any problems?"
Liu Song was speechless: "He didn't need to see the police; he just thought it was fun."
"The people who just took those two classmates back have returned. The two kids were so scared when they saw those videos and photos that they almost lost control of their bladders. They were vomiting and crying, but Ji Huaizhi didn't react at all."
"He can even calmly watch the whole video. What else do you think is dangerous but him?"
Li Feng remained silent.
Liu Song continued, "His mental fortitude is extraordinary. To be honest, he might have just been mischievous before, but I'm afraid that seeing these videos might trigger some kind of nerve..."
He didn't say anything more.
But Li Feng understood, fearing that he might become a highly logical and abnormal person like Jiang Cheng.
"Alright, Ji Huaizhi isn't an ordinary high school student, didn't you already know that?" Li Feng placed the instant noodles, now filled with water, on the table.
"The director will definitely make a decision. Let's focus on the task at hand."
“I’d like to be busy, but if I don’t go arrest people, it’ll be dawn by the time.” Liu Song said angrily, “There’s so much photo and video evidence.”
"Why won't the chief tell us to arrest them immediately? Isn't that giving them time to escape?"
Li Feng remained silent: "What do you think? Can we just arrest the people in that video?"
Liu Song frowned: "Eat your noodles, I'll go check what we took out of Jiang Cheng's house."
Li Feng opened the instant noodle lid and put the noodles into his mouth.
A passerby saw this and said, "Deputy Captain Li, how can you still eat after watching the video?"
"What's so special about this? We used to eat tofu pudding at crime scenes."

"Ji Huaizhi?" Director Shen's tone was gentle, as if he were really talking to a child.
But Ji Huaizhi knew that he had been examining himself all along, and that his gentleness was just a facade.
"Hello, Director Shen."
Director Shen smirked: "How did you know my surname is Shen?"
Ji Huaizhi pointed to the nameplate on his table: "Your name and photo are also on the outside wall. I saw it when I was bored the first time I came here."
Director Shen nodded: "You resolved Lin Changgeng's case very quickly, thank you. Did you receive the bonus?"
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Yes, it's just a bit too little."
Upon hearing this, Director Shen genuinely laughed; complaining about the small bonus was just like a child's reaction.
"Let's talk about school. Can you tell me from beginning to end how you started to suspect Jiang Cheng, and how you came up with the idea of going to his office tonight?"
Ji Huaizhi looked into his kind eyes, but he knew that the man had been observing him all along.
Explaining everything from beginning to end can easily lead to loopholes.
He can't explain away any loopholes he makes.
The other party will probably then drop their kind demeanor and begin interrogation.
