Chapter 183: Following Tracks

Yan Jia was slowly retreating, but unfortunately, she was blocked by the tribe chief."Yan Jia, you lured me into your trap, causing me to get hurt and attracting wild beasts. This was all planned by y...The ripples on the surface of the water asked calmly:

What are they here for Wasn't the last thing already resolved

"I don't know, the military police went straight to the headmaster."

Have you guys been causing any trouble lately

Ripples asked solemnly.

"Mr. Wu, we wouldn't dare! The final exams are just around the corner. Everyone is busy studying, and even those who live on campus hardly ever leave. We're practically glued to the library, too busy cramming to get into trouble."

The male student shook his head like a tambourine and immediately explained.

That's good, it has nothing to do with you guys, go to class! If there's really something wrong, the teachers will handle it.

After sending his students away, Lian Yi continued writing his lesson plans. However, he was well aware that the people behind Pan Wenbin were investigating his death and it wouldn't be convenient for him to get involved. The military police were the perfect tool for the job.

As expected, she was called in for questioning during her lunch break.

This time, accompanying the military police was a tall and handsome man with sharp features. He was wearing a well-fitting black and white checkered suit. Although he had black hair, it was slightly curly, and his eye color wasn't pure black, with a hint of olive green. Lin Ripple immediately confirmed that the other party was a Chinese-Caucasian mixed race, and at first glance, he seemed to be the main leader of this interrogation.

"Mr. Wu, it's nice to see you again."

The person who came this time is still the same army captain from last time.

Ripple frowned.

"Captain Yang, I already explained everything the last time. Why are you looking for me again Do you have any new findings that require my cooperation"

She immediately put up her guard, which is the most natural reaction.

"Mr. Wu, there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not here about the money this time."

Then what do you want from me

Ripple's facade of composure eased somewhat, and she asked in a puzzled tone.

"Do you know Pan Wenbin"

"Of course, he was a teacher at our school, but he resigned previously due to some personal reasons."

"How long ago was this"

It was about a month ago, just ten days after our school anniversary!

Ripple recalled and said.

"Have you seen Teacher Pan after he left the school"

"What if we met at the school gate About three or four days ago, I was having lunch at the wonton stand near the school gate and ran into Pan Wenbin. He said he wanted to thank me for speaking up for him and told me that he was preparing to leave Pingbei and go back home to develop his career."

As the ripples spread, she thought and spoke aloud.

Didn't he tell you anything else

"No, we're just ordinary colleagues."

Liàn Yī immediately cleared her throat. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He went to your usual wonton place. Could he have gone there just to see you

At last, the man spoke.

Ripples feigned surprise, glanced at the other party, and then said:

I don't think I'm that charming, but when he appeared there, I did feel strange. So I asked him, and he said he wanted to come back and see his former school before he left. He just said a couple of words and then walked away.

Is there a conflict between Pan Wenbin and Li Wenliang

The man changed the subject and asked directly.

"This is a private matter between the two of them, and I'm not comfortable saying more."

Ripples immediately refused.

We have confirmed with the school that Teacher Pan Wenbin's resignation is related to this Officer Li Wenliang.

"Since you already know, what do you want me to do"

Ripples frowned.

We heard it was Pan Wenbin who introduced you to Li Wenliang.

It's not even an introduction. We just happened to meet each other on the school anniversary day, and we exchanged greetings. I met a lot of people that day.

I heard that Li Wenliang once invited you to dance, but you refused.

The other party is pressing hard.

It wasn't a refusal, just putting it off, and in the end, it didn't work out.

What is your impression of Li Wenliang

"It's just average, I guess. Maybe because he's been an officer for too long, he can be a bit domineering."

"What do you think from a woman's perspective"

The man interrupted Lian Yi's words, and bluntly asked.

Liàn Yī gently pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, then looked up and said to the man:

His gaze made me feel sick, like I was being insulted, and the way he looked at me was as if I were prey.

"It seems your impression of this person isn't just ordinary, it's quite bad!"

"Good or bad, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, we don't really have anything to do with each other."

The ripples shrugged, unconcerned.

"He's dead!"

"What Dead"

Liàn Yī was a little surprised, then somewhat displeased as she said:

"Aren't you going to suspect me again"

"Didn't you even ask him how he died"

The man asked with piercing eyes.

How did he die

"Pan Wenbin was killed by his deputy, and the deputy was also killed on the spot." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A concise sentence can contain a wealth of information.

“You mean you think it was Teacher Pan who did it Is there a misunderstanding here He doesn't seem like such a cruel person! But, Li Wenliang’s actions made it impossible for Teacher Pan to teach and ruin his reputation. It’s possible he did something like that.”

The ripples seemed to be answering the other person's question, but also like talking to themselves, asking and answering their own questions.

"He met with you, wasn't he saying his last goodbyes."

The platoon leader said something.

“If what you say is true, perhaps he had made up his mind to die and went back to his former school to say goodbye, just coincidentally running into me.”

After a sigh, Lian Yi said.

"It seems you have a good impression of Teacher Pan."

The man chimed in.

Teacher Pan had a good reputation at the school before. As a teacher, he was very diligent and responsible. It was only because of Li Wenliang's involvement that he was forced to resign to appease the students' anger.

That Li Wenliang really blackened the reputation of the military, actually using Teacher Pan's name to run amok in the school, looking for his wife, and even following female students to the women's restroom.

The rest of her words were left unsaid, but I believe these people must have already figured it out.

"Teacher Wu, did Pan Wenbin give you anything when he met you"

The man continued to ask.

"No!"

Ripple shook his head.

"Think about it some more."

"I really don't, you can search for it yourself if you don't believe me."

"Even after all this time, if I gave it to you, you would have already moved on."

The man said with a flat expression.

"I say, sir, what grounds do you have to question me Just a few casual words with an old colleague, and now I'm at fault! When someone wants to find fault, there's no shortage of excuses. Is it just me you want to single out and make trouble for"

The ripples directly retorted.

What's the rush

The man said slowly.

"Just because I spoke two truths, you want to frame me for taking Pan Wenbin's things. What things are you talking about You can't even say yourselves! Do you think I'm a woman so you can take advantage of me"point.Over the next three months, everyone threw themselves into a tense sprint. They only worked half days because they were all preparing for the entrance exam. They only relaxed for two days after...
