Chapter 46 Suspect Candidate
Silence, awkward silence.
The two people sat awkwardly facing each other, avoiding each other's eyes.
"Hey, say something..." Finally, Lin Tianlang was the first to break the silence. Originally, I just wanted to recruit Xu Weiwei to join the investigation team, but why did things suddenly develop like this?
"Hey, hey, you and classmate Long Xinyu... seem to have a good relationship, right?" Xu Weiwei exhaled softly, folded her arms and said.
Um? Why did it suddenly involve Long Xinyu again?
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly mention classmate Long Xinyu again?" Lin Tianlang asked.
"It's just...it's strange. Usually you two don't communicate at all in the class, right? Why is it so sudden today that someone suddenly comes to see you. And listening to the tone of your communication, it seems very normal. It seems like we have known each other for a long time..." Xu Weiwei lowered her head and whispered.
"Ah? Oh, actually it's nothing. The main thing is, when I first started school, I had a fight with her. Then she lost to me and felt unconvinced. Then one day she found me and said she wanted me to teach She fought, so I agreed. So now I basically go to the sports hall every Tuesday and Thursday to teach her how to fight. After going back and forth, I think she is familiar with it." Lin Sirius looked up, touched his chin, and said .
"You two, don't you have any special relationship?" Xu Weiwei looked at Lin Tianlang with suspicious eyes and asked.
"The special relationship... apart from the relationship between classmates, it should be the relationship between the coach and the student, right? Speaking of which, she has been learning fighting with me for a month. That guy has a good understanding of martial arts. But, Things like fighting cannot be learned overnight. It still takes time to accumulate." Lin Tianlang said.
"By the way, why do you suddenly ask about my relationship with Long Xinyu?"
"It's nothing, I just said that I was a little concerned..." Xu Weiwei curled her hair and looked away again.
"What... it's baffling." Lin Tianlang shook his head: "By the way, are you interested in joining the secret investigation team?" It was time to bring the topic back. Lin Tianlang sat upright, staring at Xu Weiwei.
Idiot, stop staring, my face is still red...
"Wha, what secret investigation team?" Xu Weiwei coughed slightly and asked.
"Well, it's time to tell you clearly the cause and effect. I'll speak slowly, and you listen carefully, because after listening, I think you will be shocked."
Lin Tianlang started from overhearing the conversation between two mysterious people plotting the rainbow gem yesterday, then went to Principal Vincent's office today, and finally went to the principal's entrustment and told Xu Weiwei in detail. The latter became more and more shocked as he listened, and finally his eyes widened.
"What did you say? The rainbow gem fragments are hidden in the school? And someone wants to steal the fragments?!" Xu Weiwei stood up from her seat.
"Shhh - keep your voice down! This matter must not be known to other people! If too many people know about it and it reaches the ears of the spies hiding in the school, it will be very bad!" Lin Tianlang hurriedly said Covering Xu Weiwei's mouth, she made a silencing gesture with her other hand.
Xu Weiwei sat down quickly and nodded.
"I didn't expect it... I was really surprised. I thought all the fragments of the rainbow gem were missing. Who knew there was actually a fragment hidden in our school!" Xu Weiwei lowered her voice and said.
"Well, I didn't expect it before." Lin Tianlang replied, agreeing.
"Is there anything I can do?" Xu Weiwei's shy look just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a serious look.
"Principal Vincent means to set up a secret investigation team to see if we can find the demon spies hiding in the school. That's what the principal asked us to do. I think our main purpose is to observe if there are any abnormal people. For example, there are some people who are always alone and like to sneak around in school and look for them." Lin Tianlang thought for a while and said.
"I understand, I will help!" Xu Weiwei nodded: "Investigation team, count me in!"
"Yo Xi! That's great!" Lin Tianlang said happily and made a "come on" gesture.
"What's wrong? Are you happy?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
"Well, of course I'm happy. The main reason is that I think you should be very reliable in this kind of detective work, at least more reliable than me. Having you join will be a very powerful help." Lin Sirius touched his head ,said laughingly.
Do you think I'm reliable...? Xu Weiwei was stunned again. The blush that had completely subsided quietly crept up her cheeks again.
"Ha, in that case, this matter has been decided happily! Okay, let's go downstairs to have lunch. The food on the table may have gone cold, right? Hahahaha!" Lin Sirius laughed. He said and left the table.
"Hey, wait for me!" Xu Weiwei quickly followed.
The two returned to the first floor, where the lunch on the table remained intact. Lin Sirius, who had solved a major issue, sat down in a good mood, then poked a piece of steak with a fork and put it into his mouth.
Xu Weiwei came to the opposite side of Lin Tianlang, picked up her lunch plate, and prepared to leave.
"Huh? I thought you would sit directly opposite me and eat like before." Lin Tianlang said in surprise when he saw Xu Weiwei preparing to leave.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you know what this means when a man and a woman eat face to face? After all, we are not in that kind of relationship, or do you want to cause other people to misunderstand?" Xu Weiwei said in a matter-of-fact tone. , then snorted slightly and left.
Well, okay, I can't argue with that at all. Lin Tianlang looked at Xu Weiwei's leaving figure, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched again. If that's the case, why didn't you feel this way a few times before?
The recruitment of members of the secret investigation team has come to an end for the time being. In the afternoon, Lin Tianlang told Long Xinyu that Xu Weiwei had joined the investigation team. The girl did not express any opinion on this and nodded as if she understood.
When it was time for activity class, Lin Tianlang went to the toilets of each grade and started the final round of cleaning. After this round, the punishment task is over, and you can enjoy normal activity classes again next week. I feel happy just thinking about it.
"Senior Ricky! Work harder! We will be liberated soon!!" Lin Sirius said to Ricky next to him with great enthusiasm after cleaning the toilets of three grades and completing the task more than halfway.
"Yeah! The same goes for you, Junior Lin Tianlang!" Ricky stroked the middle hair in front of his forehead and said with a gentle smile.
Wait, wait...this voice...
Lin Tianlang suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back. This voice is very similar to one of the two mysterious people last night!
No, no, right? Lin Tianlang glanced back at Ricky. Such a gentle senior had absolutely nothing to do with the demons who wanted to steal the rainbow gems.
When Lin Sirius eavesdropped last night, he was too nervous to recognize the owner of the voice. But when I listened to Ricky speak again today, I discovered the relationship between these two voices.
"Junior Lin Tianlang, what's wrong? You seem a little confused?" Ricky saw Lin Tianlang's strange look and asked with concern.
"Ah... No, it's nothing. I just feel that we will be liberated soon. It's great to be able to work together like this. If I have to clean the toilets of the sixth grade by myself for two weeks, I might do it. Die." Lin Tianlang said with a dry smile, hiding his true feelings.
"Ah, so that's it. It's true. In the next two weeks, thanks to the help of junior Lin Tianlang, the work became a lot easier. The first two weeks were really painful for me. "Ricky said with a smile, carefully wiping the door panel of the toilet stall.
"Speaking of junior fellow student, after yesterday... did you come and take back the schoolbag you left behind? When we left yesterday, I remembered that you didn't seem to have your schoolbag on your back. You might have left it in the toilet of a certain grade. It's a pity that I forgot to remind you again..." Ricky asked, his tone was very relaxed and normal, but Lin Sirius felt a chill after hearing this.
This, this is not trying to trick me, is it? If there is a flaw in my answer, will he know that I am the eavesdropper? Will he be killed and silenced?
Thinking of this, Lin Tianlang quickly lied. He deliberately put on a depressed look and said: "No, I found out that I forgot to take my schoolbag after returning to the apartment yesterday. As a result, I didn't finish any homework last night. . I got up early this morning and hurriedly got my schoolbag back. I could only make up as much as I could before class."
This statement can at least dispel his idea that he was present last night, right? I just don’t know this statement, will he believe it? Although Lin Tianlang was not sure that Ricky was the spy, it was always right to keep an eye out. He had a pretty good impression of this senior. After two weeks of getting along with him, he had a pretty good relationship with this fourth-year senior. He really didn't want to believe that such a good person could be the demon lurking in the school.
"Is that so... I guess I can't make up for anything in the morning, right? Didn't you get scolded by the teacher today?" Ricky said with a sympathetic smile.
"Yes, yes, especially Teacher Nelvi, she scolded me so bad." Lin Tianlang said with a frustrated look on his face.
Later, the two chatted about other things and said goodbye to each other after finishing the cleaning work.
"It seems that there is one candidate for suspicion." After parting, Lin Tianlang secretly looked at Ricky's leaving figure and said to himself secretly.
