The temporary meeting ended, and everyone quickly finished their boxed lunches and went to complete their assigned tasks.
Team Leader Yu and Song Yang still hadn’t received any assignments. Team Leader Yu happily acted as a hands-off manager, disappearing somewhere after eating.
Song Yang, on the other hand, quickly went to find the form Mu Wanqing had filled out yesterday. Because the office had been emptied in the morning, Song Yang spent some time finding her form.
After carefully looking at the form Mu Wanqing filled out, Song Yang’s mouth twitched slightly. The form didn’t contain much more information about Xiaozhi than what she had said when he was present.
“Didn’t leave a phone number?”
Looking at the blank phone number field, Song Yang fell into deep thought. What he wanted to figure out now was whether Feng Zhizhi, mentioned by Mu Wanqing, was the first victim.
He got up and left the office, called Old Zhao to ask about Feng Zhizhi’s basic information, and then headed straight to Kang County No. 1 High School.
Riding his electric scooter around a bend, he suddenly stopped and hid the scooter.
Soon after, another yellow electric scooter followed behind. Song Yang’s sudden appearance and interception seemed to startle the other person. The electric scooter swayed left and right before finally stopping with both legs on the ground.

Only then did Song Yang notice that the other person was a woman.
A casual bun hairstyle, combined with loose casual clothes, was clearly a girlish outfit, but it exuded an air of confidence and decisiveness, making people involuntarily admire her competence.
“Who am I? What are you following me for?” Song Yang stared at her, feeling somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.
“Did I build this road? Why can’t I walk on it? Do you have evidence that I’m following you? Young man, don’t be too confident. Too much confidence is arrogance.” The woman’s eyes rolled slyly, “You should be glad I didn’t fall just now, otherwise, I would definitely report you to the police and have the investigators arrest you.”
‘Am I mistaken?’ With this thought, Song Yang quickly apologized: “Sorry, I was too sensitive. Are you alright?”
“Hmph, I’m fine!” The woman arrogantly turned her head, giving him the back of her head.
Song Yang scratched his head, embarrassed, and ran away, riding his electric scooter back towards Kang County No. 1 High School.
This time, the woman didn’t follow from afar, but rode alongside him and asked, “Where are you going?”
“Kang County No. 1 High School.” Song Yang regretted saying it as soon as he did and quickly made up an excuse to cover it up: “Haha, I misspoke. I’m not going to Kang County No. 1 High School. I’m going to Snack Street next to it. I’m hungry and want to eat the cold noodles there. They say they taste good.”
“Come on, you’re going to Kang County No. 1 High School, aren’t you? What are you going there for? Did something happen at the high school?” The woman quickly asked.
Song Yang frowned slightly, looking at her good-looking face filled with curiosity, and asked, “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you a teacher at the high school?”
“Do I look like a teacher?”
“Like a gym teacher!”
One after the other, the two arrived at Snack Street next to Kang County No. 1 High School. The woman was like a plaster, sticking to Song Yang’s side. Wherever he went, she went.
After ordering a bowl of cold noodles and sitting down, Song Yang couldn’t help but ask the woman who had done the same, “Hey, why are you following me around?”
“Am I? I don’t feel like I’m following you. Does your family own this place? If you can come, why can’t I?” The woman, who had also sat down, made a face and asked with a smile.
A flash of inspiration struck Song Yang’s mind, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen her before.
“You’re a reporter? A reporter from Kang County Daily?” Song Yang asked, staring at her with a strange look in his eyes.
Kang County Daily was considered a relatively well-known newspaper in Kang County. When he said relatively well-known, it was actually because they were the only newspaper in Kang County at the moment.
Every issue, Kang County Daily would proactively send over newspapers. And in the latest issue, she was on the largest page.
——Jiang Ge.
“Jiang Ge?”
“I never thought you’d recognize me now, Officer Song Yang.” Jiang Ge replied with a smile.
“You know me?”
“Song Yang, the newly appointed homicide investigator from the Qiaotingzi Community Investigation Bureau. How could I not know you?”
“I shouldn’t have met you, and you shouldn’t have met me either.” Song Yang asked again.
“As a reporter, recognizing people is a basic skill.” Jiang Ge half-answered, changing the subject: “Song Yang, why are you here at Kang County No. 1 High School? Last night, I saw many Investigation Bureau vehicles parked here. What happened?”
“That’s none of your business.” Song Yang took a bite of his cold noodles.
He was now beginning to understand what Old Wei meant by ‘plaster’.
He quickly finished his cold noodles, grabbed a tissue, and wanted to leave without even wiping his mouth.
But Jiang Ge suddenly said, “I know how the professor survived.”
With just this sentence, Song Yang’s departing footsteps stopped instantly. Frowning again, he tilted his head and asked, “What did you say? What professor?”
“Come on, Officer Song. I know you’re investigating the professor’s survival case. Don’t try to trick me. You’re looking for me just to exchange information, nothing else.” Jiang Ge said quickly.
“What do you know?!” Song Yang, who had sat down again, stared intently at Jiang Ge’s face. He needed to pay attention to whether this woman was lying at any time.
“You just said it. You know how the professor survived.”
“What’s the proof?”
“After asking others for something, shouldn’t you show your sincerity?”
“This isn’t the place to talk.”
Song Yang turned and left, and the woman followed closely behind. The two found a quiet cafe to sit down and each ordered a cup of coffee.
After taking a sip, Song Yang said, “Take out everything you have!”
“What?”
“Recording pens, phones, and the like.” Song Yang continued: “Our next conversation can only be known to us, and cannot be known by others.”
“Okay.” Jiang Ge placed everything she had on her body on the table in front of Song Yang.
Looking at the pile of equipment, Song Yang was stunned: “Is this the quality of a professional reporter?”
“That’s a must.” Jiang Ge agreed.
“So, what do you know?” Song Yang followed up with a question.
“Hehe, I’ve made it very clear. If you want to know how the professor survived, you must first tell me what your Investigation Bureau knows.” Jiang Ge stretched her head, resting her elbows on the table.
“What’s your relationship with the professor?” Song Yang retorted instead.
“What do you mean?”
“If you really know how the professor died, then I have reason to suspect that you are the suspect.” Song Yang leaned closer to her. “Because according to the clues we know, only the murderer would know how the professor died.”
“Let’s go, I can’t drink this coffee.”
“Where to?”
“The Investigation Bureau!”
“Hey, hey, wait, wait!” The reporter Jiang Ge pouted and glared at him before saying, “I thought you were just a new investigator, easy to fool, but who knew you were so cunning.”
“Speak, what do I know.”
“Everything is here.” After searching for a while, Jiang Ge found a USB flash drive from the equipment.
“You filmed the professor’s survival process!”
