The two of them conversed in the carriage for a while, before Wang Xinyu reluctantly agreed to allow Deng Fan to participate in Su Xiaobei's family meeting.
At 8 PM, Deng Fan punctually attended Su Xiaobei's parents meeting, although he was not attending as a parent, but as a master.
When he sat in the classroom, he immediately felt a lot of weird gazes coming from all directions. He knew that many parents must be thinking in their hearts: Which child's parent is this? Why does he look so young?
Deng Fan did not care about the gazes of the others, and ignored what the others thought, he quietly sat on Su Xiaobei's seat, and quietly waited for the Clan Elder's Assembly to begin.
He had sat here during the day to attend classes, but it was his first time sitting in Su Xiaobei's seat. The surroundings were basically filled with forty year old uncles and aunties, and under this environment, he felt a little uncomfortable. He only wanted to quickly finish the meeting and leave.
There was still some time before the meeting, so a forty something year old uncle couldn't help but pat Deng Fan who was sitting beside him. He asked curiously: "Sir, you seem to be around thirty years old, why are all of you in high school?"
Deng Fan still had his hands folded in front. Hearing this, he only laughed awkwardly and said: "Do you think I look like a man with children?"
"No, to be honest, I still feel like you're a child!" The uncle shook his head.
"Your eyesight isn't bad. I really don't have any children, and I haven't even gotten married yet." Deng Fan said straightforwardly.
"Then who are you to the child?" the uncle asked curiously.
"I'm her master. Her mother is sick, so I came to attend the parents' meeting in place of her mother." Deng Fan said.
"Not bad, you are a responsible master. Uncle will give you a Like!" Hearing that, the uncle gave Deng Fan a big thumbs up, praising from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, as the teacher of a child, I have the responsibility to pay attention to her performance in school." Deng Fan said, "I think you probably won't be able to guess, in fact, I am also a student here, right?"
"Really?" You are also studying at this school? " The old man's eyes widened in shock.
"Absolutely!" Deng Fan nodded, then turned and pointed at the empty seat in the last row that had no one sitting on it, and said to the uncle: "Do you see that, that seat is mine."
"It can't be, you're still studying at such an age?" The old man had a look of disbelief on his face. "Then why isn't your parent here?"
"Even you would say that I'm so old, do I need the supervision of a parent?" Deng Fan lowered his voice and said.
"That's true!" Hearing this, the old man lightly nodded, "I really don't understand you youngsters anymore. This world has really changed, it's truly full of wonders, I don't even know which I should believe, which I shouldn't believe anymore! "
"Don't think too much into it. Just believe in yourself." Deng Fan slowly turned his head after speaking, no longer paying attention to the uncle, he only left the word "stupefied" on the uncle's face.
In fact, only Deng Fan knew clearly in his heart that he had another reason to participate in the Clan Elder's Assembly this time. He already knew that Song Yingzi met the victim in the library, so he planned to visit the library tonight to gather some clues.
His intuition told Deng Fan that in order to investigate this case, it was necessary to first figure out the motive for the murder. He needed to know who the victims had been in contact with before they died, and who had the potential to kill.
After the parents meeting began, Deng Fan could be said to be a sleepwalker as he did not know what the class rep on stage had said at all. His mind was filled with matters related to the case, and even if he occasionally focused his attention on the class rep, it was only to admire the beauty's beautiful face and hot body.
After the meeting ended, many parents went to find their teacher in private, hoping to learn more about their children. Deng Fan also did not leave immediately. He was also waiting for an opportunity to talk to his form teacher privately, so he had not gotten up from his seat.
After an unknown amount of time, when the homeroom teacher, Xie Ying, had sent off the last parent, she slowly turned to Deng Fan and said: "Student Deng, why aren't you leaving?"
"I also want to know more about my disciple's situation. I hope that teacher can tell me about it." Only then did Deng Fan slowly stand up and walk towards Xie Ying.
"You're the first one to hold a clan meeting as a student. It can be said that you're unprecedented and will never be called upon again." Xie Ying said.
"I'm not using my identity as a student, I'm using my identity as Little Bei." Deng Fan threw up his hands in defense.
"Alright, I will talk to you about your disciple Su Xiaobei. What do you want to know?" Xie Ying asked patiently.
"Actually, when you talk about my disciple, I probably know her even better than you, teacher." Deng Fan said.
"Is that so? "Then there's nothing to talk about." Xie Ying said.
"It's not that I don't have any. Actually, I want to talk to you about someone else." Deng Fan said, "She is also your student."
"Who?"
"Fang Hua." Deng Fan blurted out.
When Xie Ying heard this name, she couldn't help but shiver. She didn't expect Deng Fan to talk about a dead student with her, so her expression changed. What's your relationship with Fanghua? "
"Truth be told …" Deng Fan vigilantly moved closer to Xie Ying's ear, using her hands to cover her mouth as she softly said, "I'm a detective sent by the police to secretly investigate a murder case."
Hearing that, Xie Ying's heart dropped again, her pupils dilated, she looked at Deng Fan in shock, and asked after a long while: "You spent so much money to enter the academy, just to solve the case?"
"Shh!" Deng Fan made a silent gesture towards Xie Ying, "Don't be so loud, that small amount of money is nothing to me. As long as you can solve this case, it's all worth it."
Xie Ying couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Deng Fan call the entrance fee a small amount of money. She thought to herself, that was obviously tens of thousands of dollars, her salary for a few months wasn't even that much, it was still called a small amount of money!
In truth, how could she have known that Deng Fan would require more than just ammunition to complete a mission abroad, so these tens of thousands of dollars was nothing to him, it was just a small amount. It could be said that Deng Fan did not care about this investment at all. Moreover, if he could smoothly solve this case and Di Lili kept her promise, then what he would receive would be a bountiful harvest that could not be measured by money.
"Well, what do you want to know?" Xie Ying very obediently nodded, "As long as I know, I will tell everything I know."
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go somewhere else to talk?" Deng Fan suggested.
"Then come to my office …" Xie Ying said.
"Is there no one else in your office?" Deng Fan asked.
"Just me." Xie Ying said.
"Alright, let's go to your office."
As expected, there was no one else in Xie Ying's office, and it was only a single desk.
"Teacher's treatment isn't bad, you can occupy an office by yourself." Deng Fan said as he looked around.
"Please take a seat. Would you like some water? I'll get you a drink. " Xie Ying said.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Let's get straight to the point!" Deng Fan did not sit, he just leaned on the desk and asked: "Can you tell me what kind of student Fang Hua is? Just tell me what you know. "
"I actually don't know much about Fang Hua because I'm not her teacher in charge, but as her English teacher, I know her a little." Xie Ying said in all seriousness, "Fanghua can be said to be a student who is easier to learn. Her results are also very outstanding, and it is precisely because of this that the school sent her to participate in the academic exchange."
"Who does she usually date?" Deng Fan asked immediately.
"I'm not too sure about that, but Fanghua is a quiet girl, so her communication circle isn't big. I know that she often goes to the library and usually stays there for a long time." Xie Ying replied, "Once, I worked overtime very late before returning. When I passed by the library, I found out that she was still there."
"So that's how it is. I know, this is a very important piece of information." Deng Fan nodded, and asked: "Is her relationship with Yinzi good?"
"Yinzi?"
"That's right, Song Yingzi."
"I don't know that they've dated before. They shouldn't have any relationship, right?" Xie Ying said, "They are simply people from two different worlds, one is a member of the Science Association and the other is the president of the Dance Association.
"I think so too." Deng Fan nodded in agreement, "Have you really never seen how they interact before?"
"I don't think so. As for whether or not they have any connections in private, I'm not monitoring them all the time." Xie Ying said.
"But I think they at least know each other, even though they're not in the same class."
"That's not surprising. After all, we're classmates, and they occasionally meet." Xie Ying said.
Deng Fan had already ascertained one thing, and that was that the relationship between Fang Hua and Ying Zi was not simple. As for what they had experienced in the library, that was the question that he was going to solve next.
"Alright, I think I understand enough now. Thank you very much for teacher's active cooperation." Deng Fan said as he extended his right hand towards Xie Ying.
Xie Ying and Deng Fan gently shook hands, then said: "I'm really sorry, I don't really understand Fang Hua that much, and I wasn't able to provide you with any more clues."
"No, I got the answer I wanted." Deng Fan smiled and said, "I still want to walk around the campus. Teacher, are you preparing to go back yet?"
"I still have some homework to review. I need to work overtime." Xie Ying said.
"Then I won't bother you with your work." Deng Fan said, "Why don't I buy you a drink later?"
"I don't drink." Xie Ying rejected it with a smile.
"Oh, I don't mean drinking. Just a few drinks." Deng Fan said, "Or maybe we can have a midnight snack together."
"Next time, I'll be back soon." Xie Ying rejected her once again.
"Alright then. You go ahead and busy yourself first. See you tomorrow!" Deng Fan turned around dejectedly. Just as he took two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked: "Excuse me, teacher, are you married?"
"Not yet." Xie Ying smiled and shook her head.
"Oh, what about your boyfriend?"
Xie Ying shook her head again.
When Deng Fan found out that Xie Ying was still single, he suddenly had a strong feeling of joy, and immediately said in all seriousness: "I think it's time Teacher chose a boyfriend!" As he said this, he thought to himself: This beauty should only be in her early twenties. Hmm, yes, she just graduated from university, neither green nor old. She can be considered a beautiful lady, and there should be a lot of suitors.
