Xia Zheng was expecting to see frustration or broken defense on their faces, but he didn't expect the brother and sister to raise their heads at the same time, with genuine joy on their faces.
Xia Zhining said sincerely, "The specialists Professor Xia brought were able to locate the murderer's back. This is a major breakthrough!"
"It's great! We are one step closer to the truth."
Ji Shuyun also calmly continued, his eyes still fixed on the screen: "Based on the cadence and force, the murderer is likely a woman."
"The more timely clues are shared, the more efficient the case will be in solving it."
Xia Zheng chuckled and said sarcastically, "It seems my people are lucky. At least their efforts were not in vain."
"Unlike some people who run around all day and then have to rely on us to clean up."
Xia Zhining's eyes remained clear as she responded frankly, "As long as we can find the clues, that's our job. When it comes to solving cases involving lives, we detectives and the police are always on the same side."
"The only real opponent is the murderer."
Ji Shuyun nodded, his voice calm and firm. "If we were still arguing about who came first and who came later, vying for credit, the murderer would have already escaped. What matters is the result, and giving the victim an explanation."
As soon as they finished speaking, their frank and cooperative attitude was like a mirror, making Xia Zheng's little thoughts suddenly seem cramped and narrow.
At this time, Lao Zhang also touched his head and added: "Professor Xia, in fact, the surveillance and investigation method was first proposed by Officer Ji. Let us focus on the transportation personnel of the decoration materials."
"Advisor Xia also led the ferret to conduct a thorough investigation in the second teaching building. They ruled out the possibility that the murderer had committed the crime elsewhere, which narrowed down the scope."
Xia Zheng's face suddenly felt hot, as if something had been silently exposed, and he stood there in a dilemma.
The brother and sister seemed not to notice his embarrassment at all.
Ji Shuyun naturally rubbed Xia Zhining's hair and said in a gentle tone: "Let's go home and make you a midnight snack."
Xia Zhining's eyes lit up and she immediately laughed: "Hey hey hey! I want to eat the tomato and beef brisket noodles that brother cooked!"
The two of them walked into the night with a few furry cats, talking and laughing, their figures gradually blending into the warm light.
Xia Zheng stood there, watching their backs as they left easily, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
On the way back.
Xia Zhining and her brother were walking towards the school gate when their eyes inadvertently swept across the electronic screen outside the Academic Affairs Office building and their steps could not help but pause.
A photo of Xia Qingqing was prominently displayed on the screen, with a striking word next to it: "Special guest for the opening ceremony: Xia Qingqing".
She frowned and continued walking forward, but saw a conspicuous promotional banner in front of the teaching building of the School of Veterinary Medicine.
Not only is Xia Qingqing's elegant smile printed on it, but it also states in large letters that she will visit the college after the opening ceremony to give a special lecture introducing Xia's Pet Hospital and its "latest developed" pet vaccines.
Several girls who were placing banners looked up at the poster, chattering and discussing, their eyes full of admiration:
"Wow, Senior Sister Xia Qingqing is so pretty, so beautiful and strong!"
"She was admitted to the graduate program with top grades, and now she's leading vaccine development. That's incredible!"
"I heard their new vaccine is very mild, with almost no side effects. Vaccinating small animals is like getting a mosquito bite. That's amazing!"
