Originally, he wanted to give Shi Nian romance, to mend the relationship between them, and didn’t want to quarrel with her again. He understood that otherwise, he would push her further away... He really didn’t want that! But just because of the arrival of that extra police officer, who provoked his well-prepared confidentiality agreement, he couldn’t control his temper at that moment!
Xiang Yuan tried to take deep breaths.
Luckily, there would soon be a marriage counseling expert, and the small conflicts between him and Shi Nian would definitely be resolved by the expert. What happened just now wouldn’t impact the big picture.
The time Shi Nian returned home, Tang Yanqing quietly went back to the police station.
He brought Little Pearl back to hand over to the technical department, quickly giving an accurate estimate of Little Pearl’s "age" — this was "Timestamp A."
Jia Tianzi also swiftly typed on the computer, rapidly searching for the timeline of Kangchuan University’s construction, detailing each building’s start and completion times, especially the Eastern Studies Department dormitory — these formed "Timestamps B and C."
What was now missing was the oil painting itself that Shi Nian mentioned. If it could be obtained, it would become an extremely important "Timestamp D."
However, because of the painting’s significant importance to Kangchuan University, without a reasonable explanation, it’s not plausible to ask the university to hand it over to the police for a detailed scan.
"But the good thing is the painting likely depicts the meeting of shareholders discussing the establishment of Kangchuan University. So the timeframe should be around when Kangchuan University broke ground; the margin of error shouldn’t be too big," Jia Tianzi said as he pulled up Kangchuan University’s historical data, finding a "substitute Timestamp D."
The four timestamps underwent cross-comparison, and concrete numbers became vividly clear, each number seemed to gleam brightly.
Even Jia Tianzi’s mouth opened slightly in surprise: "No way, they’re so coincidental, almost from the same era. How did you find the connections among these seemingly unrelated clues?"
Tang Yanqing smiled proudly, "It wasn’t me who thought of them. It was her."
Hmm... A sound unconsciously escaped from Jia Tianzi’s heart. Look at the young master’s appearance, it’s already "her."
Tang Yanqing then shot a cold glance, "Your expression is [satire], [disapproval]."
Jia Tianzi hurriedly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I’ll get back to work."
Tang Yanqing then stood up, grabbed his coat, casually slung it over his shoulder, and strode out with long steps.
Jia Tianzi couldn’t help but ask, "Shi Nian is going home today, yet you aren’t going, nor letting me go, but specifically sending Guan Liang... I’m curious why you arranged it this way."
Tang Yanqing shrugged, "Not letting you go was because I needed you to help me check these four timestamps. We’ve been involved in this case early on, Guan Liang came later, if he were to check, he might not have your intuition. That’s one reason."
"As for the second reason, the setting today, Guan Liang going with her is more effective than you going."
"Why?" Jia Tianzi couldn’t help but raise his hands, "You fickle guy, how am I inferior to Guan Liang?"
Tang Yanqing raised his brows high, "You haven’t issued them tickets before, you lack a direct emotional pressure on them."
Jia Tianzi was confused, "Why apply direct emotional pressure on them?"
"I’m not telling you." With that, Tang Yanqing turned and walked away.
Jia Tianzi raised his voice to ask, "Hey! You haven’t explained why you aren’t accompanying her. Do you perhaps have another appointment?"
A bad smile spread across Jia Tianzi’s face, which Tang Yanqing naturally understood. Jia Tianzi thought he finally wanted to return to his former life and go on dates with those women again.
He deliberately shrugged, "Hmm, guess you were right, I’m going out for a fun night tonight."
With that, his figure had already exited the door, only through the glass door did he raise his arm high and make a few claw gestures in the air, as a goodbye.
The Behavior Analysis class students were about to leave together, but Spicy Girl suddenly received a call from Sean. She frowned at her phone, then said to Zhong Kui, "You guys go ahead, I have something to take care of, I’ll catch up with you later."
Watching her run towards the campus police office, Marina gave a cold look, contemptuously shrugged her shoulders.
Mark came up and gently patted Marina’s shoulder, "Let’s go."
In the Behavior Analysis class, among the original group of 20 people, now missing Shi Nian, temporarily absent Spicy Girl, the deceased S, and Jack who was taken in by the police, the remaining 16 individuals proceeded towards the school’s exit. Thɪs chapter is updated by ⓝovelFire.net
Spicy Girl frantically dashed into Sean’s office, Sean then locked the door, carefully peering through the glass door at the hallway activity, then said with displeasure, "I’m on night shift tonight, you should accompany me!"
