Be in low spirits

"Does your divorce have no impact on Yanan?" Kong Zhixi has always believed that one should remain rational when it comes to adult love stories, so she was very indifferent when she asked.

"We've had fights many times, and he's used to it. Our divorce is a good thing for him." There was a hint of fatigue in the mother's eyes when she talked about her marriage.

"Okay, you have a good rest. We may come to question you again later, so I hope you can be prepared at any time." Kong Zhixi felt that this mother did not actually understand her son.

As they were about to leave, Li Li had not expected the conversation to end so suddenly. He felt a little dizzy when he stood up, and Kong Zhixi helped him to stand steadily. The aunt sent them to the door, and the two looked next door, but did not see any children, so they drove to the school.

On the way to school, Li Li smiled and said, "Old Sui is right."

"What's wrong?" Kong Zhixi felt a little sleepy. Although it was a school case, she still had to run back and forth.

"He said you are becoming more and more like me." Li Li thought this was a good thing.

Kong Zhixi sobered up after hearing this. This was not a good thing for her. "Why does Old Sui seem like a different person recently?"

"Yeah, I also think he's been a little too happy lately." Li Li didn't care much and just agreed casually.

When they arrived at the school, the principal called the director of the teaching department and Yanan's class teacher over. The three of them were questioning the two of them, but when Kong Zhixi sat in that office, she felt that this was similar to her previous party and government studies. She felt a little uncomfortable sitting there, but she couldn't leave in the middle of the class, so she just listened to Li Li's questions.

The principal was very good at speaking in an official tone, saying that no matter what the truth was, since it was suicide, the school could not be blamed. Although he did not say so openly, his words implied this, and the other two were under pressure from the principal, so some things were difficult to say.

Li Li winked at Kong Zhixi, who understood and said to the head teacher, "Teacher, I want to talk to Zhang Jiahui. Can you help me show the way?" The teacher nodded repeatedly and led the way out of the office.

Zhang Jiahui looks like a very quiet girl. For the sake of her child's study, she just asked the teacher to call her to the meeting room alone during break time. The moment she saw Kong Zhixi, there was still some nervousness in her eyes.

"Don't be nervous. I just came here to ask about Yanan's situation." Kong Zhixi tried to make her voice sound gentler. The girl nodded and looked at the teacher again, who also nodded at her.

"First, tell me how you and Yanan met?" Kong Zhixi saw that she was prepared, so she began her questioning.

"My uncle introduced him to me. He asked me to teach him chemistry. His chemistry grades were a bit behind. Sometimes he would come to me after class, but not too often." Her voice was still trembling as she spoke.

Kong Zhixi took out some candy from her pocket and handed it to her, then asked her, "How did your uncle know him?"

"I just heard him say that he was a relative of his colleague and I told him several times, so he asked him to come to me. I thought that since he was a classmate, I should help him if I could, and he only came to ask occasionally, not often." Her voice sounded much better now.

"What's your uncle's name? Is it convenient for us to go ask him?" Kong Zhixi felt that no one had mentioned the tutoring issue, and it seemed a bit suspicious that her uncle showed up at this moment.

"Do you want me to call him over?" The little girl didn't know if she had said something wrong and started to get nervous again.

"No, no, no, I mean you just tell us where he is and we go find him." Kong Zhixi comforted her.

"His name is Zhang Xianhao, and he works at Jiamao International." The girl was still a little nervous at this moment, not knowing whether she was afraid of this uncle or herself as a police officer.

"Do you know Zhou Yue?" Kong Zhixi felt that if the topic continued to turn to her uncle, she would probably not be able to attend class in the afternoon.

"Zhou Yue is the top student in our class. Yes, he also knows Guan Yanan, and sometimes they go home together after class." She was not so nervous when talking about her classmates.

"Okay, then when you go back, please help me call him over and tell him that the teacher is looking for him." Kong Zhixi thought for a few minutes and said to her.

When Zhou Yue came, Kong Zhixi didn't realize that he was a top student. She just thought that he was a little malnourished and a little short compared to his peers.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" He must have realized what he was looking for, and he was obviously hesitant when he knocked on the door.

"Come, sit down. We mainly want to ask about Guan Yanan." Kong Zhixi pulled a stool and let him sit next to her.

"Yanan... I actually don't understand either." He hesitated.

"It's okay, just tell me what you know." Kong Zhixi said. "I heard you are neighbors?"

"Yes, but we don't go to school together often. He doesn't go to school at a certain time. We'll go together when we meet." He said after sitting down, and his voice didn't sound as nervous as Zhang Jiahui's.

"Is he not a good student?" Kong Zhixi asked.

"Not very good. I heard about it from Jiahui, but he didn't ask me. I just heard from his mother that he often stayed in school to study." It sounded like Zhou Yue didn't care about the classmate who went home together.

"Does he usually talk to you about study? Or has he ever asked you directly about any questions?" Kong Zhixi found it strange. Since Zhou Yue lived next door to him, why didn't he ask him directly, but instead asked Zhang Jiahui?

"No, he has a lot of self-esteem. I just heard him say that he would go to Jiahui to do his homework." After he said this, he kept looking at the watch in his hand. The teacher also felt that it was almost time for class, so he said, "Officer, class time is almost up, do you see?"

Kong Zhixi nodded, and Zhou Yue stood up and went back to class. "Teacher, has Yanan been late or left early?" Since the students had all gone back to class, the question turned to the teacher.

"Yes, but not too often, just a few times occasionally, for a few minutes or dozens of minutes, and we don't pursue it. But, it's a bit strange... He doesn't study in school often." Now the two of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time, until the bell rang for class.

"Uh...but didn't you say he worked very hard?" Kong Zhixi was the first to break the silence.

"His efforts are reflected in his questions and homework in class. As for what his mother said about him staying in school to study, I have never seen him." The teacher himself began to feel a little uncertain. As the two were wondering, Li Li called Kong Zhixi and said he was waiting for her in front of the Academic Affairs Office building. Seeing that she had understood the situation, she said goodbye to the teacher and went to the Academic Affairs Office building.

The two squatted in front of the Academic Affairs Office building, watching the children taking physical education classes on the playground, feeling the youth. "I used to like fighting when I was in school, and my dad beat me a lot for this. When I grew up, I became a policeman in order to fight legally." Li Li recalled his high school life.

Looking back on her high school years, Kong Zhixi felt that there was nothing to be happy about. It seemed that the only thing was the quarrels between her and her father, whether at home or on the phone at school. Those memories were just ridiculous when she thought about them now.

"What's wrong with being a policeman?" Kong Zhixi looked at the kids playing football across the street and recalled the days when she used to write code and draw games in the company. At that time, she was just like those kids playing football. She had pressure, but she was really happy.

"My mother feels bad. I'm often not at home. I have to be on duty during the New Year and other holidays. I have to study at school, and I don't have time to accompany her when I work." Li Li pulled her out of the school.

"She doesn't have time either. She flies around every day to discuss business." Kong Zhixi withdrew her hand, put it in her pocket, and followed him.

After getting in the car, Li Li asked, "Where are we going?"

"Jia Mao International, looking for Zhang Xianhao."

"Old Sui is right. In two days, I will give up the captaincy to you."

People were coming and going outside the car window, and the wind was a bit stuffy. Kong Zhixi felt a little blocked in her heart. She used to think that the driver was a little love-minded, but now she was just greasy. "Actually, you and Cheng Xi have rekindled your old love, right?" She thought that since she didn't like him, she might as well just be an assist and bring them together.
