The police officers stood there staring at each other in confusion. Some of them who were quick to react had already reported Lu Yi's reasoning to Miss Junsha and quickly shared it with other colleagues.

The male police officer couldn't wait to ask: "Then our next investigation direction will be to target the faculty and staff inside the school, right?"

"Yes, it also includes the interpersonal relationships of these teachers." Lu Yi said in a deep voice.

"We cannot rule out the possibility of a gang committing the crime. Perhaps someone leaked the information and then another person committed the crime. Also, I learned from the security guard that this kindergarten has been in arrears of wages recently.

Perhaps some teachers who are under great pressure in life have made irrational decisions out of helplessness.”

After Lu Yi finished speaking, the police officers all looked worried and conflicted.

“I know that this kind of investigation will be very labor-intensive. Not only will you have to check the criminal records of teachers and their families, but you will also have to inquire about their interpersonal relationships from multiple channels.

What we are facing now is a missing persons case with a tight time limit. If we want to bring the baby back alive, we must quickly narrow down the scope of the investigation and gradually make the portrait of the criminal clearer. "

Lu Yi said, and walked straight out the door.

"I will carefully investigate the scenes and characters related to the case, and will share any progress with you as soon as possible."

"Okay." The police officers nodded and watched Lu Yi leave the meeting room.

【Schoolside Trail】

After Lu Yi walked out of the campus, he followed the security guard's instructions and came to the path in the southeast direction.

This place was much more desolate and narrow than he had expected. It was like the remains of buildings from the old days of China on Earth. The distance between buildings was not planned reasonably, and was only three or four meters wide at most. It was also particularly humid because the buildings on both sides blocked the light.

Lu Yi walked forward, paying special attention to the debris in the middle of the path.

There is a lot of garbage here, much of which seems to have been thrown directly from the high-rise buildings in the south, such as takeaway packaging, ink-depleted pens, etc. There are also many tables, chairs and benches piled up in a disorderly manner. I think they are discarded items from the kindergarten, which is temporarily used as a warehouse.

Looking at the randomly piled garbage mountains, Lu Yi blinked and thought that this was a great place to hide.

Ahead, several police officers were carefully searching for clues. They called out their respective partner elves, including some from the same clan as Lu Yi's tropical dragon.

The tropical dragon spread its huge wings and blocked the light together with many elves, so that the police officers could use ultraviolet light more clearly to search for suspicious bloodstains or footprints.

A moment later, as Lu Yi approached, a police officer blocked his way.

"Hello, this place is temporarily blocked by the police. It is not convenient to pass directly. I hope you can understand."

The police officers here did not know Lu Yi, so he simply introduced himself and soon received a response from the police officers.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu Yi. I just heard from a colleague that you have deduced a new approach to handling the case. I have heard of your name for a long time."

The police officers nodded very politely and asked Lu Yi to participate in the investigation.

"Any progress?"

Lu Yi took a few steps forward, squatted beside a scout, and observed the ground under ultraviolet light with him.

"No." The investigator shook his head helplessly.

“Although Ms. Xiang Lian was brutally attacked, the criminals hit her on the back with weapons, causing severe internal bleeding, but there was no blood at the scene.

Moreover, there was not even a trace of dragging nearby. The criminal may have simply picked up or subdued the baby and left the scene after the attack, ignoring Xianglian and Xiaotong."

After hearing what the investigator said, Lu Yi nodded slowly. This was consistent with the murderer's criminal psychology. He left the scene immediately after succeeding.

He looked around again, using the area where the scout was as the center of the circle, and searched for suitable hiding places nearby.

Since the police officers are focusing on investigating this place, it means they must have grasped the key clue. This is the exact location where Xiaotong and Mimi were attacked.

Soon, Lu Yi discovered that there was a gap of about half a meter in the middle of the tables, chairs and benches piled up on the right.

"Have you checked here too?"

"Yes, I checked." The investigator nodded.

“Within 5 meters, this is the only position that is most suitable for Tibetans, and they can attack Xiang Lian teacher from behind silently.

If it was farther away, Xiang Lian would have enough time to react and call for help, and the criminal would not give her such an opportunity. "

Hearing the investigator say this, Lu Yi asked, "What was the result? Are there any traces left here?"

"No, no fingerprints or shoe prints." The investigator pursed his lips helplessly.

“Not even a shoe print?”

Lu Yi was a little surprised. Could it be that the criminal had specially brought shoe covers?

"We don't understand it either. Logically speaking, this path is rarely used by people and the ground is relatively damp, so it shouldn't be difficult to find shoe prints if we look carefully.

So we spent a lot of time looking for suspicious traces nearby, and the next step is to expand the search area."

Hearing this, Lu Yi frowned and stood up from the investigator.

He didn't want to stay here any longer because the trail was only this wide and professional investigators would be able to conduct a thorough search in no time. If he stayed here he would just be adding manpower, so he might as well look for other clues.

However, before Lu Yi was ready to leave, he did not forget to ask the police officers a detail.

"By the way, Teacher Xianglian was injured and unconscious, and Xiaotong was infected with mushroom spores. How were they discovered later?"

"It was discovered by another teacher in Xiaotong's class, Teacher Xinzi." said a tall female police officer.

“The school was ready to send the bus, but Xiaotong’s class had not yet received all its members. The teachers and students, as well as the parents who participated in the event, were all very anxious.

So Teacher Xinzi explained the situation to everyone. She knew that Xianglian had taken Xiaotong to buy breakfast, so she also entered the nearest path, intending to call them back from the breakfast shop.

Unexpectedly, she saw a very horrifying scene, with Teacher Xianglian and Xiaotong lying on the ground, their lives uncertain. Teacher Xinzi was so frightened that she even forgot to call the police for help, but hurried back to the bus and called more people to help.

According to multiple testimonies, when Teacher Xinzi found them, it was around 5:50, and it had been almost 20 minutes since the two of them got off the bus.

"Is that so? Fortunately, it's summer now."

After listening to the other party's description, Lu Yi sighed.

The police officers understood what he was lamenting. If it were winter now, Xianglian and Xiaotong would be lying unconscious in the snow and ice. Even if they survived, they would probably suffer from chronic illness.

"I understand. Thank you for sharing. Next, please send me Xiaotong's address and I will go talk to him."
