Chapter 26

The little bit of sympathy he had originally felt had completely cooled down, and Wu no longer felt that what he had done was excessive.

Although it was tragic to lose the son they had raised for fifteen years, it was not a reason for them to go crazy. They could blame the murderer, the school, or God, but they definitely could not blame him.

Since they choose to act unreasonably, they should bear the corresponding consequences.

The grandparents did not understand what Wu Mingbai said, and they just thought they had successfully appeased him. In their eyes, Wu Mingbai was just a child, and naturally easy to deceive.

After they finished talking, Meng Huai snapped his fingers, and a plant cage suddenly rose from the ground, with the unconscious murderer still trapped inside.

The moment they saw the murderer, the grandparents couldn't help but rush over to him with ferocious expressions, using the most vicious words they could think of to curse the enemy who killed their son.

After they calmed down a bit, Meng Huai said, "The murderer has been caught. We will send him to prison and bring him to justice."

"No." Sun's father's eyes were slightly red, but his expression was very calm. "I hope you can hand over the murderer to us, so that we can personally avenge Xiao Ming. This should also be counted as part of your compensation."

Because the student was killed in the academy, the academy was held responsible. In order to compensate the student, they gave the grandparents a large sum of money, some benefits related to the supernatural world, and promised to catch the murderer.

But now the Sun family obviously wants to add a little more compensation, which is to take the murderer away.

Under normal circumstances, such a request would be completely acceptable to the school. But unfortunately, this murderer is not an ordinary person.

Meng Huai shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, although we really want to agree, this murderer must be strictly controlled."

"Why did he kill my son! Why couldn't I take him away?" the grandmother asked angrily like a lioness who had lost her child.

On the other hand, Sun's father was calmer. He held back his anger and stopped Sun's mother. He looked at Meng Huai and asked, "What is the background of this murderer?"

"A dangerous organization." Meng Huai turned his head and glanced at the murderer, a cold look flashed in his eyes, "We still need to investigate."

Even the famous supernatural academy still needed to be investigated, and Sun's father no longer thought about taking the murderer away. If there was really an organization behind him, forcibly taking him away would harm them instead.

Although the grandson's mother was unwilling, she also knew the seriousness of the matter and gave up taking the person away. However, she had more confidence in the School of Supernatural Powers and put forward a new request: "After you have investigated the organization behind the murderer, I hope to deal with the murderer myself."

In fact, if it were an ordinary person, even if they were the parents of the deceased, the law would not allow them to punish the murderer. Let’s put things in perspective, the murderer should be handed over to the law for punishment.

But this is the world of supernatural powers, so there are not so many restrictions.

"I'll let you know when the time comes." Since the future is uncertain, Meng Huai gave an ambiguous answer.

Looking at the unconscious murderer, Mo Xiaotian asked curiously: "What kind of power is behind him?"

Hearing this question, Su Bei, who had inadvertently discovered Mo Xiaotian's identity, looked at him subconsciously, but quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Meng Huai with everyone else.

Meng Huai waved his hands, not wanting to say more about this matter: "You kids, stop getting involved."

Su Bei knew the inside story, but he was not sure whether he should tell it to others at this time. After thinking about it, he asked in his heart, "According to the original setting of the comic, did the protagonist already discover the black lightning at this time?"

There was no hint from him in the original comics, and the protagonists could only find the murderer through clues left by the dead. So they must have figured out the truth about the cards.

Sure enough, "Comic Consciousness" confirmed his guess: "Yes."

Hearing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and looked at the murderer, intending to use a not-so-exaggerated acting skill to pretend to "accidentally" discover the tattoo and then shout it out loud.

The murderer was lying in the cage, but his collar covered the lightning tattoo very well. If you want to see the tattoo, you have to go to the other side of him. But if he walked to the other side for no reason, wouldn’t it be a bit too deliberate?

Su Bei always thought that the location of this tattoo was unreasonable. It was very likely to be discovered if it was placed behind the neck. For example, because Su Bei was taller than Mo Xiaotian, he easily discovered his little secret.

He said that the tattoo should be placed in a place where others cannot see it easily, such as the inner thigh. Or it can be made invisible and only appear at certain times. If that is not possible, just put a sticker on it!

When Su Bei was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of Mo Xiaotian's neck. He didn't know when a Band-Aid was stuck on it, right at the place where the tattoo was.

He almost laughed out loud.

It's obvious that Mo Xiaotian feels guilty. Should I thank him for not just using some tape to stick it on? But a strawberry Band-Aid isn't a good choice! Isn't this thing really meant to make people laugh?

While he was thinking, Jiang Tianming had already noticed that Su Bei's gaze seemed to be on the murderer's neck.

Why look there?

He looked in the same direction in confusion and walked a little closer. As he got closer, the black lightning that was originally hidden under the collar was clearly revealed in front of him.

Jiang Tianming's eyes widened suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to ask a question. But the next second he closed his mouth and remained silent.

If this symbol is really related to that organization, then if he tells his discovery now, he will probably be forced to get involved. As an orphan, Jiang Tianming still understands the basic principle of keeping himself safe.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble with his friends.

However, Su Bei was obviously not within the range of these little friends. Judging from his performance just now, Jiang Tianming guessed that he had already discovered the sign.

Thinking of this, he quietly walked to Su Bei's side, and took the opportunity when Meng Huai was telling his grandparents about the process of catching the murderer, and quietly asked: "Did you see the thing behind the murderer's neck a long time ago?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Bei's pupils shrank. As expected of the protagonist, he could even discover such a secret. Originally, he wanted to reveal it himself, but now it seems that he doesn't need to bother.

There was no need to hide this matter, so he nodded. He asked curiously, "Why are you asking me?"

Jiang Tianming replied in a low voice: "I just saw you looking in that direction, so I guessed you already knew it."

Listening to his whispered reply, Su Bei suddenly realized what he was worried about. What could he be worried about? He could only not want others to know that he had discovered this secret.

Yes, it is obvious that this matter is very dangerous. According to Jiang Tianming's personality, if it were not for the plot, he would not have been exposed to these things.

I have to admit that even though I am a riddle teller now, Su Bei actually likes the protagonist with a long mouth. He likes the character like Jiang Tianming who asks directly when he has something to say.

Thinking of this, he didn't mind saying a little more: "That organization is not simple. Not just any monster can fight against the School of Supernatural Powers."

In fact, the news he wanted to reveal most was that there was more than one person from the Black Lightning organization in the school, or to go a step further, to directly tell him that Mo Xiaotian was a member of this organization.

But if he said too much, it would be boring and not in line with his character. According to his personality, if he knew that there was a traitor in the organization in the school, he would choose to watch from the sidelines, or even deliberately help Mo Xiaotian hide the truth for the sake of watching the show. Telling the truth directly would ruin his character.

But in fact, if Su Bei had acted according to his own personality, he would have found the teacher and revealed the other party's identity on the day he discovered Mo Xiaotian.

So Su Bei only said this sentence. In fact, if Jiang Tianming thought deeply enough about this sentence, he might realize: How could an organization that can fight against the School of Superpowers only have one member in it?

However, it was too strong to think of this point. Jiang Tianming did not think much about it, but his face was solemn because of the strength of this organization.

After the murderer handed over, Meng Huai drove Su Bei and the others out. Mo Xiaotian jumped twice in excitement: "Are we going to have a celebration banquet? A celebration banquet!"

It's half past five, just in time for dinner.

Lan Subing nodded and sent the restaurant reservations to everyone. Although everyone had to live on campus, they could actually leave the campus before the 11:00 curfew. However, except for Mo Xiaotian, the few people present didn't like to go out, so they had never been familiar with the area around the school.

Lan Subing had specially learned about it for the celebration banquet. After this period of time, she could already speak a few simple sentences in front of the crowd. At this time, she pulled down her scarf and introduced in a weak voice: "There is a snack street outside the school. I ordered a set meal for six people from a stir-fry restaurant on the snack street. It is said to taste very good."

While saying this, she was nervous, clenching her fists and keeping her eyes down, as if she would see something terrible if she raised her eyes.

Jiang Tianming and others were also very considerate and held their breath, keeping silent, giving her a quiet environment to talk.

After Lan Subing finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished some extraordinary task. After she covered her mouth with the scarf again, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief and started to become active.

"Your order must be good." Wu Mingbai winked at her, looking like a good boy. He understood the principle of being soft-hearted when receiving a favor, and there was no reason for a customer to find fault with it.

Jiang Tianming, who was very familiar with him, decisively complained to Lan Subing: "He is just perfunctorily treating you."

Then he successfully started fighting with Wu Mingbai.

Mo Xiaotian, who was already hungry, shouted happily: "I'm a big eater! I will definitely eat it all!"

Mu Tieren searched for the restaurant and nodded affirmatively: "There are a lot of good reviews, and the review addresses are all from our school, so they shouldn't be fake. The restaurant Su Bing found is very reliable."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at Mo Xiaotian: "Then we have to compare carefully, my appetite is not small either."

"bite!"

Suddenly, Lan Subing's phone rang. She opened it and found a 50 yuan transfer from Su Bei.

The note is: "We will pay for the meal together. No need to treat anyone at the celebration party."
