“Of course I believe what the director said. Don’t worry, I will hand in the report tomorrow. I will write it clearly about everything, whether it’s about me being hunted or what happened after I was taken away by the nun.”

After hearing Li Wei’s answer, the discipline director, who had been gloomy all the time, also smiled.

He patted Levi on the shoulder.

“I have always been optimistic about you. You have always done very well and will not disappoint the academy. Go and have a rest first. I will have someone take you back directly.”

Under the instructions of the Discipline Director, a business car belonging to the Discipline Department was allocated to pick up Li Wei and send him back to the student dormitory.

After Li Wei left, the deputy director of the discipline department named Liang Kun beside the discipline director asked with a puzzled look on his face.

“Director, how can we let him write a report afterwards? Shouldn’t we just take notes that night and record everything clearly?”

The discipline director didn’t say much, he just looked at the small house not far away.

“Because we have more dangerous people to face next.”

After saying that, he led more than a dozen discipline committee members behind him and walked towards the small house.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Levi.

The car that was specially sent to take him to the door of the student dormitory after driving for twenty minutes.

Levi got out of the car, already thinking in his mind that he had to speed up the process. Let’s not talk about those reports tomorrow for now, he must report the serial killer.

Someone wanted to kill him, but these people were still alive, which made Levi feel very unhappy.

He never bears grudges. He never cares about when the cycle of revenge will end, so it is better to kill the person on the same day.

Through the serial murder case, he should have the opportunity to meet the top leaders of this college and the board of directors face to face.

Only in this way will he have the opportunity to judge which school director is the candidate who can exercise operational control and obtain the information he wants from him!

And this is exactly what Levi has been planning all along.

Just as he was thinking about this, Levi opened the door with his key and pushed it open and walked in.

Then he saw a man sitting in the living room of his apartment!

The man was wearing a black suit, with a parrot standing on his shoulder and a cup of coffee in his hand.

After seeing Levi come in, he raised the coffee cup in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

“It’s been a busy day. Thank you for your hard work, Minister Forrest. Would you like a cup of coffee?”

Chapter 174: Smart Fool

Looking at the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the living room, drinking coffee, lazy and comfortable as if he was at home, Levi’s eyes narrowed slightly, grabbed the door handle, and slowly closed the door.

“I see that all the coffee-making tools in your house are brand new. It’s such a waste not to use such good things. It just so happens that I have some good beans brought from the Western District. Come and try them. They are definitely different from the instant ones sold outside.”

The professor named Chi Qing was boasting about the coffee in his hand, but Levi just calmly changed into slippers at the entrance.

“Teacher Chi, it’s not polite to break into someone’s house without permission, right?”

He spoke in a calm tone, but many guesses had already flashed through his mind.

When he was about to leave the Discipline Department, he had basically determined that the serial killer in the academy was the first-level faculty member Chi Qing.

Before that, he had thrown two additional charges of murder on him, making him take the blame.

So the first thing Li Wei thought of was that he had discovered this matter and knew that he was the one who killed Zhang Zhisen and Wang Qi, so he came to him today to question him.

But soon, Levi himself denied this speculation.

If he really came to call for punishment, Chi Qing would not behave like this.

But although Levi seemed calm on the surface, he actually didn’t seem to let his guard down at all.

The feeling this person gave him was very similar to the feeling Lin Chunmo gave him before in the Sun.

They are all cynical people who despise the world and seem to have no interest in anything.

These people are very dangerous. They may seem harmless on the surface, but in fact, they are all time bombs that may explode at any time.

After hearing what Levi said, Chi Qing shrugged and explained casually.

“Coming here uninvited and trespassing is indeed my fault. But I can’t help it. I came to your place at 7 o’clock and waited for you at the door. But I have been waiting until now, and there have been thunder and meteors. As a recent student model in the college, you must not have the heart to watch your respected teacher endure that outside the door, right?”

While he was saying these words, the parrot standing on his shoulder just looked at him sideways.

She certainly knew the truth better than anyone else. When Chi Qing came to find Li Wei, and found that there was no one in the house, he didn’t even wait, but directly climbed in through the window, treating this place more like his own home.

Levi didn’t dwell too much on this issue, he knew that the point of the problem was not here.

He walked into the room and took off his bloody, tattered coat, revealing his sturdy upper body.

“Teacher Chi, if you have something to talk to me about, just tell me. I’m already very tired today and I want to rest early when I get back.”

Chi Qing took a look at the disciplinary uniform that Levi had thrown on the ground, which could only be called rags, and raised his eyebrows and said.

“To be honest, sometimes I can’t understand why you don’t look like a fool. But you are in the academy, willing to be a butcher for the school directors. Even if they can give you more status and glory, what can they do? You can’t stay here forever. Once you graduate from the academy, what do you think will be your fate?”

After hearing Chi Qing’s words, Li Wei had an idea.

Although he did not directly state his purpose, his analysis of the current situation from Levi’s perspective, speaking up for him, and clearly had a strong intention of winning him over.

Li Wei didn’t know why Chi Qing wanted to kill so many people in the academy and specifically targeted people from different departments to kill, but he was clear that this man’s background must be extraordinary and his purpose of coming to this academy was definitely unusual.

After realizing this, Levi quickly decided in his mind how to respond and what countermeasures to take.

He did not look at Chi Qing, but went to the bathroom, wet a towel with water, and wiped the stains on his upper body and face while speaking calmly.

“Do you think so too, Teacher? Am I doing these things in order to gain a higher status and more respect in the academy?”

Li Wei wiped his face and turned to look at Chi Qing.

Chi Qing did not avoid his gaze.

“What else? Everyone thinks so. My students all have a lot of resentment towards you privately.”

“I was able to join the Discipline Department because of the recommendation of Mr. Zhao Mingda, the library administrator. At that time, I helped him with some small things. He asked me what I thought of the city after I came to the college. I said that this place is not what I imagined before I came here.”

Levi threw the towel into the pool and faced Xiang Chiqing with a serious expression.

“The academy I imagine should be a temple of truth, where everyone is obsessed with knowledge and strives to learn. Regardless of status, everyone should be equal in the exploration of the unknown.”

“But what happened after I came to the academy? What did I see here? The students in the biology department who had been here for more than a year couldn’t even recognize a diagram of a plant cell. The students in the physics department couldn’t calculate the magnitude and direction of a force. The students in the chemistry department couldn’t recite the periodic table… They could ride horses, steer sailboats, dance, sing, and most of them could even dunk, piao, and buy and sell contraband.”

“Whether these things are right or wrong, I am not qualified to judge, but I am sure that these are definitely not what a normal student would do.”

“Before becoming a discipline committee member, I wanted to persuade some students not to do those things that violated the rules, but they said I was meddling in their affairs. Later, I had this identity and qualifications, and I have been strictly enforcing the orders and requirements of the school board, asking them to be serious students in the college. They all thought that I was meddling in such matters for my own benefit.”

“Is it true that no one thinks that what they did was wrong? Since I became the Discipline Committee member, I have to do what this position requires. How can it be my fault?”

Faced with Levi’s questioning, Chi Qing’s expression was a little strange.

It’s not that he doubted what Levi said.

As he said, he had always been confused as to why Levi, who appeared to be quite smart, would do something that everyone in the city thought was stupid.

And Levi’s “heartfelt” remarks just now can only be the only explanation.

What Chi Qing really didn’t expect was that this student who had a bad reputation in the college was actually a person with a clear conscience, ideals and persistence.

Chi Qing found this quite ironic.

“Of course it’s not your fault.” He said in a very gentle voice, just like when he usually answered the questions of those female students, patiently and persuadingly.

“But sometimes, the definition of right and wrong is not based on reason, but on people. When everyone around you is doing the wrong thing, but you are the only one doing the right thing, then you will appear to be an outlier. When you are not only doing the right thing yourself, but also forcing others to do it with you, then you become a sinner.”

He placed his hands on either side of the sofa.

“If you want to follow the instructions of the school directors and change the academy, then you are just daydreaming, Forrest.”

“The thing that those upper-class nobles are best at is deceiving themselves with the stupidest ideas. What is the root cause of the academy’s current state? Is it a problem with these people in this city?”

He extended his index finger and shook it under Levi’s gaze.

“How many permanent residents are there in this city? And where did these people receive their education before coming here? As long as the entire underground human society does not change, then this world and this academy will not change in the slightest.”

“You make knives for those people, except that you will get yourself killed in the end. There is no other meaning at all.”

Chi Qing made a final conclusion about Li Wei’s ending.

Levi showed no reaction to this and just asked back.

“So what? You can just do nothing even though you know it’s all wrong?”

After he said this, the living room fell into silence. After seven or eight seconds, Chi Qing finally laughed. He looked quite happy!

“Hahaha! This is so unexpected! I never thought that in such an era and in such a place, I would still meet such a naive fool! Hahaha! I have to apologize to you, Forrest. I always thought you were a smart person, but I never thought that your intelligence was just a cover-up!”

His laughter slowly disappeared after a long time, and finally, as if he felt thirsty, he drank the coffee in the cup!

Then, Chi Qing looked into Levi’s eyes again.

“But there is no shortage of people who do stupid things in this world! We have always been called crazy and stupid! Your ideals for this city are ridiculous, but they are not completely unfeasible. I have a cooperation plan. You don’t have to be a dog for the board of directors, you don’t have to worry about being liquidated after graduation, and you don’t have to let those people in the college be hostile to you and resent you. You can accomplish what you want. Do you want to consider it?”

After hearing his words, Levi smiled in his heart.

This is what he was waiting for!

But Levi did not agree directly, or ask Chi Qing what the cooperation he mentioned was. Instead, he asked seriously about another matter.

“Teacher, there have been several murders in the academy these days… You were the one who did it, right?”

After hearing this question, Chi Qing’s eyes narrowed for a moment, but he still had a smile on his face.

“What evidence do you have?”

“The Discipline Department and the Guards were investigating in the wrong direction. They all thought that the murderer who committed these cases was one person. But after my investigation, I found that there were a total of six deaths in the academy, two of which were committed by another person.”

There will be a chapter with 12 words before 12 o’clock, and a chapter with words after o’clock. If you can’t wait, read it tomorrow.

Chapter 175 Rules of Promise

“I was the first to discover the underground secret room of the Flower Arranging Society. The missing body parts of Zhang Zhisen and Wang Qi were found in it, which proves that the murderer’s behavior of killing and dismembering the bodies was premeditated. But the other four murders were different. Except for the first student, none of the students who were killed had organs missing.”

“So at that time I speculated that there might not be just one murderer. Then I followed this speculation and followed the department’s thinking to investigate the interpersonal relationships of the four people. There were five most suspicious candidates, and one of them was you, Teacher Chi.”

After some slight embellishment, Levi recounted the entire process of his investigation.

“When I returned home and saw you waiting for me here, even though I didn’t have any more evidence, I could basically confirm that you were the murderer!”

Hearing this, Chi Qing laughed again, and he did not avoid Levi’s gaze.

“You see, you are very smart in these matters, much smarter than most people. But before you said these words, did you ever think about whether my next target might be you?”

Levi was not frightened by his words.

“Teacher, didn’t you just tell me the purpose of your trip? You came to discuss cooperation with me.”

“You’re willing to cooperate with a murderer? Doesn’t this go against what you stand for?”

Levi took out a data disk.

“Your information is all here, teacher. If you can’t give me a reasonable reason for you to commit such a crime, then I will hand it over to the school board tomorrow anyway. No matter how badly you put them, they will never forgive you for the crimes you committed in the academy, right?”

“Why should I ask them to forgive me? Did they kill less people than me?”

Chi Qing never avoided Li Wei’s gaze from beginning to end.

“You said I committed a crime. What about the school board that asked you to enforce the school rules? Why did the special admissions student escape a few months ago? And whose life was the key made of? You keep saying that everyone should be equal in the pursuit of the unknown. I became a sinner because of murder. Can those high-ranking school board members ignore such a crime?”

“Or are you simply a hypocrite, Forrest? You only pursue and punish the faults of those you can afford to offend, but when it comes to those who are higher in status and whom you can’t even touch, you can forgive and turn a blind eye to these things?”

Under Chi Qing’s repeated questioning, Levi acted as if he was “at a loss”. He avoided the gaze that was looking directly at him and said nothing.

After seeing his reaction, Chi Qing narrowed his eyes.

“You said you wanted to change this city, but what if it’s rotten from the root? The reason you came back so late was because you were being hunted, right? Those regular students who were disciplined by you couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to completely eradicate you, the scourge. You escaped death, but did the academy give you any explanation for this?”

“They keep saying that they want to rectify the atmosphere, change the academy, and get students back on track. These are all lies. They are deceiving themselves, and you are deceiving yourself too! Are you talking to me about those high-sounding words?”

“You are actually just talking to yourself, because you have to keep hypnotizing yourself and make yourself believe that what you do is meaningful, so that you won’t doubt the objective things and question what you insist on! Do you think I am right, Vic Forrest?”

His words seemed to have completely broken down Levi’s psychological defenses. After that, Levi never said another word or answered any of his questions. He just lowered his head and leaned against the wall without saying a word.

It was not until more than ten seconds after Chi Qing asked this series of questions that he raised his head again and answered in a low voice.
