Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Don't scare me, I'm easily frightened!"

Yang Linlin glared at Zhao Yi, but in her heart she had already vaguely accepted Zhao Yi's statement.

Zhao Yi quickly glanced through the information in the roster, then put the roster back in its original place and opened the envelope.

Inside, besides a thick stack of banknotes, there was also a short letter.

……

[Principal, I'm so sorry!]

I'm sorry for the trouble caused by the (crossed-out) matter. I will definitely be more careful about such things in the future!

[About (the entire paragraph is crossed out)]

I heard his mother is his only relative. Now that things have escalated like this, he probably won't let it go easily. I hope you can communicate with the mayor more!

This isn't much money, but it's a small token of my respect for you!

……

Clearly, the letter hadn't been mailed yet.

There were many revisions inside, and a lot of ink marks were crossed out. These crossed-out ink marks were obviously very important information!

"This letter is addressed to the principal..."

Zhao's eyes lit up, and the next moment he said to Yang Linlin:

"Let's go to the principal's office."

He and Yang Linlin quickly tidied up the office and put the items back in their places. Before leaving, Zhao Yi took some banknotes with him.

Yang Linlin asked curiously:

"What will you do with the money?"

Zhao Yi replied meaningfully:

"Just in case."

Yang Linlin was completely bewildered. Although she had been by Zhao Yi's side the whole time and had seen everything Zhao Yi saw, she had no idea what Zhao Yi was thinking!

This feeling is very similar to the feeling you all had when you watched Detective Conan, and every time Conan found all the clues and looked like he had a sudden realization, but you didn't understand anything yourself.

The only thing Yang Linlin is thinking about right now is that after the dungeon is over, she definitely needs to take an IQ test!

The two left the office, carefully closed the door, and continued upstairs.

"Could you elaborate?"

"I still don't understand why you took that money!"

Zhao asked in return:

Why would I dare to go to the office to look for clues?

"Because you're brave!"

Why am I so brave?

"I...how would I know why you're so bold!"

Zhao raised an eyebrow and said:

"Because I knew no one was in the office."

That's why I brought you in.

"I told you, whether this school is inhabited by humans or ghosts, they all operate according to their own rules."

"The teachers are proctoring the exam, and unless there are special circumstances, they cannot leave the classroom for too long."

"But the principal is different."

"You have to understand that the principal is not as busy as the teachers most of the time at school."

"If it's inside the office, we'll have to find a way to lure it out!"

"Do you understand?"

Yang Linlin's eyes lit up.

"I understand!"

"But... what does this have to do with the money?"

Zhao Yi gestured for her to be quiet. They went up to the top floor and walked along the dark corridor, keeping to the right, until they finally arrived at the spacious principal's office.

I cautiously peered through the window and sure enough, there was a dark figure inside!

Moreover, those unstable data resurfaced at this time!

……

[Principal: Extremely dangerous!]

[Note: This is clearly not something you newbies can confront head-on, but its mobility is severely limited, forcing it to move its arms and legs in unison when running.]

……

The other party's data immediately appeared before my eyes.

As expected, the principal was sitting in his office, and the actions he was taking revealed Zhao Yi's true thoughts to Yang Linlin.

The president of Shishan University is counting money right now.

Clearly, the other party is a complete money-grubber!

Zhao Yi wanted to use money to lure the principal away!

"You stay here and keep an eye on it for me, I'm going to lay out the money!"

Zhao Yi whispered a message and began spreading banknotes on the ground.

He wanted to use these banknotes to lure the principal to a distant place so that they would have time to go to the principal's office to inquire about matters from that year.

Zhao Yi was very fast, and returned in less than ten minutes.

Then they took off their shoes, knocked on the principal's office door, and ran quickly to the stairs leading to the rooftop!

Not long after, the door was opened, and a dark figure exuding an eerie aura stood in the doorway.

Its head turned 360 degrees.

He didn't see anyone, but there seemed to be a strange smell in the air... like... a stray dog ​​from the school had run up to his door and peed.

The shadowy figure looked puzzled and lowered its head.

A bright red banknote appeared in front of him!

It froze for a moment, its DNA seemingly out of control, and involuntarily picked up the money.

So, as it bent down, it saw a second bill not far away!

The principal was dumbfounded.

Hold the grass!

What's going on today?

Did I get incredibly lucky?

Why is there so much cash on the ground?

Hmm, the smell of urine is stronger here too.

The principal looked curiously at the stairs leading to the rooftop, but after thinking for a long time, he still chose to go downstairs to pick up the money.

For stray dogs, money is far more important.

After taking him a short distance, Zhao Yi and Yang Linlin reappeared at the entrance of the principal's office.

"Yang Linlin, I hope you can go to the toilet before the next operation."

Zhao Yi warned them very seriously that they almost got exposed because of the smell of urine on Yang Linlin.

The darkness concealed the burning blush on Yang Linlin's face. Her five pink toes gripped the ground tightly, as if she wanted to carve out a three-bedroom apartment in front of the principal's office!

"knew!"

The two wasted no time; they both knew the principal wouldn't be gone for long, and quickly began searching the office!

"The previous letter revealed that a student's mother had a conflict with the school, and that the school had caused her serious harm."

"It even... killed its mother."

"So what we need to find now is the file."

Yang Linlin, who was rummaging through the cabinet, was puzzled.

"If it's really as you suspect, something that damages the school's reputation shouldn't be recorded in the school's files, right?"

Zhao Yi carefully flipped through a file record sheet in his hand and casually said:

"But the students dropped out of school."

"A huge conflict broke out between the school and the student's family, and the motive was not very clear."

"The reason why parents are making a big fuss about their children and schools is simply because of their children's safety, health, and academic performance."

"Shishan High School is a closed school with military-style training. Students go home once a month. School rules strictly prohibit fighting on campus, and supervision is strict. As the top-ranked school in City A, the possibility of campus violence occurring at Shishan High School is almost zero!"

"Therefore, the motive that could cause a major disturbance between the school and the students' parents, even leading to physical fights... most likely involves the issue of the student's withdrawal from school!"

Yang Linlin's eyes lit up.

Yup!

How could she not have thought of that?

Bullet comments:

Forgive me for being blunt, but I've become a fan of Zhao Yi after this!

As a newcomer, he is truly outstanding!

I'm a newbie too, and I really want to be matched with Brother Zhao so I can win without any effort!

I'm going to follow Zhao Yi; I feel like I can learn a lot from him!
