Su Qing came to the school, and after being recognized, Old Su completely floated, starting to walk the route of invisible pretentiousness.

Originally, although he hadn’t joined the leadership in the school and wasn’t any professor-type mentor, at least he had good relations with people, after all, he’d been mixing in the school for so many years.

But today, since everyone knew his son was the Stock God mentioned online, and also a police officer at our Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, quite a few people came up eagerly to inquire.

It wasn’t to introduce someone to Su Qing but because this term ’Stock God’ was too attractive, plus being a multi-million internet celebrity, it was extremely eye-catching.

Different from the students’ perspective, these teachers and advisors were clearly more focused on Su Qing’s ’Stock God’ identity could bring benefits.

With good relations with Old Su, at least in the future, they’d be able to catch some benefits from stock market affairs, of course, some teachers and advisors who generally had a good relationship with Old Su came to inquire out of pure curiosity.

"Teacher Su, heard your son is also a police officer?"

"No, he’s just a consultant in the police department, just has a job there!"

"Never thought, Teacher Su has a son who’s a big internet celebrity!"

"What internet celebrity, he’s just messing around!"

"I heard internet celebrities now earn a lot, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands a month are normal, besides those who endorse products, I heard they can earn tens of millions, even hundreds of millions in one night!"

"Those are platform endorsers, but Teacher Su’s son is a Stock God. The stock market surged recently, heard he predicted the market perfectly, I say, he must have earned a lot!"

"Old Su, how much did your son earn recently?"

"Exactly, if you have any stock market news, think of us!"

Soon, more teachers gathered in the office, everyone started teasing, even teachers from the neighboring office came to join the fun.

At first, Old Su could interject now and then, later he completely lost the opportunity to speak.

However, everyone developed a strong interest in his son, which inadvertently made Old Su proud in front of his colleagues, he was all smiles.

It wasn’t until the afternoon when he went to the classroom with a textbook to start teaching, as soon as he entered, he was surrounded by the girls in the front row.

"Teacher Su, is Big Qing your son?"

"Is Big Yellow at your house? Can you bring Big Yellow here, I really like him!"

"Does Big Qing have a girlfriend?"

"Can you call Big Qing over, I’m his face fan!"

"I’m a mommy fan!"

Old Su: ???

Although he is a university teacher, always with the young crowd, not old-fashioned, but after all, he’s getting older, sometimes can’t keep up with young people’s thinking.

Looking at the chattering girls in front, the boys behind were not willing to be outdone.

"Teacher, can you bring Big Yellow, I want to rely on him to find a date!"

"Yes, yes, heard Big Yellow is the matchmaker among dogs, if I had Big Yellow, I’d be single long ago!"

"Teacher, let the Stock God recommend us two stocks!"

"This is good, this is good!"

Taking advantage of the class not starting yet, students began expressing their views noisily.

Finally, Old Su had no choice but to wave his hand, quiet everyone, then said, "Recently it might not be possible, our school had an incident, he is busy as police personnel but it seems he will come again, when he comes next time, I’ll let him meet you."

Seeing their enthusiasm rise so high, Old Su was left with no choice but this strategy, of course, it was the first time he felt he could rely on his son to be proud, naturally in a good mood.

Sure enough, hearing this, the students quieted down immediately, some already fantasizing about encountering Su Qing in school.

On the other side, in East City Public Security Bureau, in the fourth-floor office, a group was gathered, correlating the clues in their hands.

At that moment, Yan Lie spoke first, "Surveillance in the dormitory building shows the deceased entered the bathroom at 2:11 am holding something similar to a rope. From the video, after she entered, only one girl went in but was out in less than two minutes, probably just went to the bathroom, there’s no time to commit the crime, and until the body was discovered, no one else entered the bathroom."

At the scene, we didn’t find any signs of struggle between the deceased and others, though there were scratches on the inner thigh, after comparison, they were self-inflicted by the deceased.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was stunned, he didn’t expect there would be functional surveillance now, given the news often shows that the surveillance breaks down once something happens, while normally they can capture every detail of students receiving deliveries.

Since there’s surveillance, classifying this case becomes easier.

After speaking, Yan Lie sat down, and Li Zijun stood up to continue, "Du Qiang and I went to the deceased’s dormitory and found a photo of her and a man in her belongings."

Saying this, Du Qiang took out a plastic bag filled with a thick stack of photos showing the deceased and a gentle-looking man who seemed older posing together.

[The deceased had a romantic relationship with Jiangcheng University’s Chinese Department professor Jiang Maoxue, and since the deceased was from the Chinese Department herself, wanted to secure this year’s exemption from graduate entrance exams.]

As these photos were taken out, Su Qing’s mind voiced the narrative, reinforcing his speculation.

He’s still unsure about the hidden motives behind it and what sparked the whole situation.

"Additionally, in the deceased’s classmate’s device, we found frequent contact with another person, chat records from the past two days show the two having emotional disputes, we have handed over the communication devices to the tech department, we should soon have information about the contact."

After Li Zijun finished, everyone looked at him, Su Qing swallowed and said helplessly, "There are only us few, must we stand to speak? Feels so formal."

Seeing this, Lin Chengcai chuckled, "Don’t mind them, they’re used to it, just speak while sitting."

"Ahem, then I’ll speak sitting down," Su Qing said jokingly, adept at slacking, then continued, "I talked to my dad, the deceased was his student, according to him, the girl was quiet and gentle, about the rumors in school, he’d heard but wasn’t sure, though he did give me a name, Jiangcheng University Chinese Department professor Jiang Maoxue, I feel this person has issues."

While speaking, his finger lightly tapped the photo on the table.

"You mean... this man is that professor your dad mentioned?" Lin Chengcai and Zhao Minghui exchanged glances.

This was a major discovery because today, no matter who was asked, they nearly all kept silent on the emotional rumors regarding the deceased in the school, including the three girls sharing the dorm.

Whenever Lin Chengcai asked, they kept saying they weren’t sure, only heard of a teacher, but didn’t know who it was.

"Isn’t it simple to take these photos and investigate? After all, he won’t run," Su Qing said confidently.

To this, everyone nodded, it indeed was a thought.

"What’s your take on this case?" Zhao Minghui asked.

To that, Su Qing and the others kept silent, it was still better to let the seniors handle it due to their experience.

True enough, after hearing this, Lin Chengcai said after thinking, "Based on the current clues and situation, though autopsy hasn’t given a conclusion, there’s a high possibility of suicide, given the surveillance doesn’t lie."

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Then Lin Chengcai switched the tone, "If it’s suicide, what’s the reason behind this, that’s the key, I also found a clue with Su, a girl named Ke Yao contested for the exemption status, I suggest we take these two people as the breakthrough point, form a team and conduct interviews at the school, I recommend Xiao Su to go."

Hearing this, Su Qing stood up quickly, "Captain Lin, be reasonable, I’m just here for some side tasks, isn’t assigning me this too hasty?"

"Indeed, feels a bit hasty," Zhao Minghui said.

To which Su Qing immediately gave a thumbs up, "Captain Lin’s reasoning makes sense...

But before he finished, Zhao Minghui continued, "Let Xiao Li accompany, Xiao Li is stable for incidents, and his sister manages him well, plus I’ll give you Du Qiang as a bonus to run errands."

"Master, I’m your disciple, what bonus?" Du Qiang complained.

"Anyway, you’re useless here, you three together make a good team."

"I..."

"Alright, that’s settled, Xiao Li, this task is on you three, watch over the other two, don’t let your department worry, just focus on the investigation, report any developments timely," Lin Chengcai decided conclusively.

"Understood, master."

Just like that, Su Qing originally thought he was there for some side tasks, helping with analysis, unexpectedly he got himself an extra shift.

It can be said, came in fine, but can’t go back!
