"No, do you know Professor Jiang's address?"
Team Leader Zhong asked Qi Yue.
Qi Yue hesitated for a moment: "Is this why you came here?"
“I do know that Professor Jiang lives in Wenshu Monastery.”
"Because I worked there, I saw Professor Jiang."
"Officer, you still haven't told me how Professor Jiang is doing."
"Eating a poisonous mushroom shouldn't be life-threatening, right?"
"Are you really eager to know whether Professor Jiang is dead or alive?" Captain Zhong stared at Qi Yue, not missing a single expression on her face.
Qi Yue was taken aback: "Captain Zhong, Professor Jiang is not only my mentor but also my benefactor. I want to know how she is doing. Is there something wrong with her?"
"If I'm indifferent to the teacher, won't you think I'm too cold-hearted again?"
Their counter-question seems to make some sense.
"I'm sorry, Professor Jiang's condition still needs to be kept confidential at this time."
"Miss Qi, could you answer my question from earlier?"
Qi Yue smiled and said, "I know Professor Jiang's address."
"Because Professor Jiang sent me something."
This was something Captain Zhong hadn't expected.
What did Professor Jiang send you?
"She sent me some books related to our major and told me that I could contact her if I wanted to pursue further studies."
As she spoke, she hesitated for a moment, then added, "Actually, I also sent something to the teacher."
Captain Zhong's expression sharpened: "That's not what you just said!"
"You already knew Professor Jiang's address?"
Qi Yue pursed her lips: "I didn't know her exact address before, I only knew she lived in Wenshu Garden."
"When I went to my employer's house this time, I happened to see Professor Jiang and found out where she lived."
"However, I was in a hurry at the time and didn't have time to catch up with Professor Jiang."
Team Leader Zhong assumed that she hadn't had a chance to greet Professor Jiang.
Do you still remember Zhou Kai?
Team Leader Zhong's words always catch people off guard.
Upon hearing this name, Qi Yue's face turned deathly pale.
"Captain Zhong, I don't want to mention this person."
This was Qi Yue's most direct refusal; she even stood up and asked Captain Zhong to leave her home.
“I will cooperate with your investigation, but not so that you can reopen my wounds.”
Captain Zhong stopped the door from closing and explained, "I'm sorry, Miss Qi, I didn't mean to reopen your wounds."
"I just wanted to learn about Zhou Kai from a different angle."
"Will he retaliate against Professor Jiang?"
Qi Yue paused in closing the door: "He once boasted that he would take revenge after he got out."
“I haven’t gone out much these past few years, partly because I’m afraid Zhou Kai will find me.”
"This person is very vengeful."
"Professor Jiang helped me back then, and he must have held a grudge against me."
"However, Professor Jiang's poisoning from wild mushrooms, couldn't it have been an accident?"
"If this really is Zhou Kai's revenge, then will I be next?"
What Qi Yue could think of, the police could also think of.
Captain Zhong reassured her, "Don't worry, if it really is Zhou Kai, the police will catch him."
“Wild mushrooms can indeed be accidentally ingested, but our police must first rule out the possibility of homicide.”
Was he murdered?
Qi Yue looked terrified: "Professor Jiang has already..."
"No, not at all." Team Leader Zhong finally revealed to her, "Professor Jiang has been rescued and is out of danger."
"However, the old man is still very weak."
"If you want to see her, it's best to wait until she's discharged from the hospital."
Qi Yue loosened her grip on the hem of her clothes: "Okay, thank you, Captain Zhong."
"Then we'll leave first."
As the young policeman left Qi Yue's house, he was still asking Captain Zhong, "Captain, do you think this Qi Yue is suspicious?"
"She visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Professor Jiang was not dead," Captain Zhong pointed out, raising a point of suspicion.
"I breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't it because she cared about Professor Jiang?" The young policeman didn't think there was anything wrong with the other person's reaction.
"It's also possible that she knew someone wanted to harm Professor Jiang, but didn't stop them."
"Didn't you notice? She was more eager to know whether Professor Jiang was alive or dead."
Team Leader Zhong still felt that Qi Yue had a problem.
But just as the young policeman asked again, he gestured for the other man to shut up.
Qi Yue chased after them.
"Captain Zhong!"
Qi Yue ran out.
Team leader Zhong and the young policeman turned around at the same time.
"Miss Qi, has something come to mind?"
"That's right, I do live streaming online, and Zhou Kai once left a message in my live stream room."
"The first time, I didn't pay attention, he said he would find me."
"Later I sent him a private message to ask who he was."
“He didn’t reply, but I think that’s Zhou Kai.”
"Zhou Kai is a very cunning person."
“If it weren’t for Professor Jiang, I probably wouldn’t have dared to call the police at the time.”
"It was Professor Jiang who helped me and gave me courage."
"Actually, when schools encounter this kind of situation, they usually try to persuade the other party to reconcile."
“Calling the police will inevitably damage the school’s reputation.”
"Professor Jiang acted first and reported later."
"It was because she protected me that the school didn't advise me to settle things privately."
“I’m terrified that Zhou Kai will come looking for me again, so I’ve moved several times…”
Qi Yue made it very clear that Zhou Kai would retaliate.
Therefore, she is saying that Professor Jiang was very likely also harmed by Zhou Kai.
"If Professor Jiang's poisoning wasn't an accident, then it must be him!"
"I understand. We are also looking for Zhou Kai, but we don't have any news about him yet."
Team Leader Zhong's calm explanation surprised Qi Yue.
Has he gone missing?
"To poison someone, you would at least need to contact Professor Jiang, or be in the vicinity of her home. Didn't you look for that?"
Of course they searched for him, but he had already disappeared, so they could only start their investigation from the community's surveillance footage.
No one knows where Zhou Kai is hiding, or if he might have even changed his name for revenge.
Finding this person is extremely difficult.
Meanwhile, after resting at home, Shen Lu went to the First Hospital to visit Professor Jiang.
After all, the poisoning was related to wild mushrooms. Even if it had nothing to do with her, the person who poisoned them benefited from her influence.
If she hadn't asked Tiezhu to deliver the food...
Sigh, I'm never letting outsiders eat here again.
Who knows what will happen.
Shen Lu had just stepped out of her house when she ran into another good-for-nothing, He Lan.
"Little Deer Sister!" He Lan waved to her enthusiastically.
Shen Lu looked at him: "Brother Lan."
Seeing that he was clearly getting ready to go out, I didn't say much to him.
Bai Yu has been busy these past few days and hasn't cooked.
However, Shen Lu still suggested to He Lan, "How about we cancel the food order?"
“After what happened with Professor Jiang, the neighbors are all worried that we might poison someone in our house.”
"I'm also afraid that someone might mix something into the food again, and then I'll be in deep trouble no matter what."
He Lan disagreed: "I've been on your side from the very beginning."
You can't cross the river and then destroy the bridge.
"Little Deer Sister, I'm going to visit Professor Jiang. Would you like to come with me?"
Shen Lu still wanted to persuade him to give up and agree to travel with him.
However, she insisted on driving herself. She only went to check it out after arriving.
