Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Sun Lu’s Disappearance_1 Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Sun Lu’s Disappearance_1 “Hmph! After the National Day holiday, you all will be reassigned to different classes!” The headteacher said fiercely, “Only the students with the highest grades can stay in our class. I won’t let any bad apples spoil the batch.”
The students had been anxiously waiting for the end of class!
Tomorrow was the National Day holiday, in the ’90s rural schools often had a special holiday for the busy farming period. The autumn harvest coincided with this holiday, allowing ten uninterrupted days off!
Although everyone was still there in person, their hearts had long since flown elsewhere.
The headteacher was not oblivious to everyone’s thoughts, seeing this made him both frustrated and anxious. The college entrance examination, a pivotal moment that determines their life trajectory, was around the corner, but these youngsters didn’t seem to take it seriously.
It made him extremely anxious.
“Every one of you will write a thousand-word self-critique to hand in when you get back from the holiday. Class dismissed!”
The students below couldn’t wait to shout, “Goodbye, teacher!”
As the headteacher descended from the stage, he stumbled and almost fell.
It was the perfect time to enjoy the crisp autumn air as each household in the countryside was getting busy with the harvest, commencing the reaping of rice. The path to Xiao Wang Village was lined with golden rice fields on both sides.
The farmers were bending over, reaping the rice grain by grain with their sickles.
Suddenly, the sound of a police siren from a distance startled the simple villagers, making them simultaneously curious and scared.
Three police cars drove into Xiao Wang Village. Nan Fei, who was riding her bicycle, happened to be at the entrance of the village. Seeing the cars coming in, she hurriedly moved to the side. She initially thought the police cars were just passing through Xiao Wang Village, but to her surprise, they stopped in the village.
Ying Jiuming swiftly got out of the car and began to direct the search and investigation. After finishing his orders, he turned around and saw Nan Fei standing nearby, he waved at her with a smile.
Seeing it was Ying Jiuming, Nan Fei politely greeted him, “Hello.”
Ying Jiuming was contemplating how to address Nan Fei. If Huo Beijiang were there, he would surely force him to call her sister-in-law. But this bastard hadn’t even brought her home as his wife yet!
“You can call me by my name, or just Nan Fei.” Seeing Ying Jiuming’s dilemma, Nan Fei proactively suggested.
“Alright!” Ying Jiuming thought to himself, this girl is straightforward.
No wonder she could bewitch Huo Beijiang.
“By the way, what happened? What are you looking for?” Out of instinct, Nan Fei asked. But after asking, she felt it might not be appropriate and quickly added, “Should I not have asked? If it’s not convenient to disclose, you can ignore my question.”
“It’s nothing we cannot reveal. In fact, with your arrival, we no longer need to search for you.” Ying Jiuming casually waved his hand and straightforwardly said, “A nurse named Sun Lu from our county hospital has disappeared for about a week. The head nurse was worried she might harm herself and reported it to the police. We went to her home to ask about her whereabouts, her youngest brother said she had come to Xiao Wang Village.”
As Ying Jiuming spoke, his eyebrows were tightly knitted, feeling a bit uncomfortable. They, the police, had gone to her parents’ home to gather information, but not only did her parents show no concern, they even profanely cursed.
They wished their daughter dead, sparking ridiculous rumors.
Having been a detective for so long, he felt like he had seen all sorts of people and strange things. He should have been transferred to the city bureau three days ago, but it was this case that had delayed him.
