Chapter 1007 Secret Conversation in the Attic (Previous)

A heavy rain unexpectedly hit some areas of Illinois in the evening. The mountaintop college hidden in the suburbs was also fortunate to be visited by a heavy rain cloud. Under the dark clouds, the strong wind blew the bronze bell of the bell tower and made a loud noise. , the crow with wet wings hid under the eaves and looked down at the men in black walking hurriedly on the smooth stone road washed by water.

The door to the attic was pushed open, and a man in a black raincoat walked in quickly, shouting as he walked, "It's bad, it's bad, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Su Xiaoqiang are all here" We were caught by the investigation team, and the people from the investigation team have secretly arrived at the academy, and they are already starting to attack us!"

As he said that, the man hurriedly closed the door, shutting out the strong wind and rain. He accurately threw his raincoat on the coat rack in the corner, turned into a flexible potato, and dived in. Looking at this messy little nest of Geneva Convention, I shook my head.

"This is a situation that has been anticipated for a long time. Don't rush into it like the investigation team is knocking on your door. Stay calm. You are the acting principal of Cassel College when I am not here." The only person sitting in the corner of the attic who was deliberately In front of the cleared computer desk, the silver-haired old guy wearing a vest and shirt took off his anti-blue light glasses and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not worried about them coming to the door. If we really want to fight, who can beat you and that little plague god? Even the school board, the whole family, the little pestle, the crutches, the pacifiers, and the pacifiers are not enough for the two of you to fight with one hand. ! They also know this, so they want to kill you with soft knives!" The vice-principal rolled his eyes at his old friend's attitude of standing and talking without pain. After getting into the attic, he skillfully found the most comfortable position on the sofa to lie down. After a long day of running around, he breathed a sigh of relief and poured himself a glass of wine.

It had been a year since the vice-principal lost his last bet and he had given up drinking. Now that he started drinking again, it felt a little like a divorce rather than a newlywed. If he didn't drink a bottle or two of cognac every day and rinse his mouth, he would feel uncomfortable all over. But after being overwhelmed by Anger's disgrace in the past few days, many things required the vice-principal to run around the huge school in person. He was so busy that he couldn't even take a sip of wine, which really made him feel resentful for a long time.

Angers felt the silent resentment coming from his friend on the sofa. He turned to look at him and raised his eyebrows, "Is the pressure on you from the investigation team so great?"

"The investigation team is nothing. The trouble is with the school board. If there is only one investigation team, I can defeat them all by myself. But this time it is obvious that the school board is well prepared. That guy Frost is remote." Directing every move of the entire investigation team, we don’t even know when the investigation team entered the school!” While the vice principal complained, he generously poured himself half a cup of Egon Miller’s Dry Grape Essence. The choice, the heroic drinking like a cow chewing peonies made Ange at the computer desk feel a little distressed and regretful.

But Angers, who is currently dependent on someone else, is still in a daze and can't say a few bad words. This bottle of good wine was taken from the private wine cabinet in his principal's office and given to the vice-principal as a souvenir - you can't do anything about it. What you've given away is dictated by how to use it.

But when you see a good thing being wasted, you should still feel distressed.

"Pour me a drink too." Angers decided to reconcile with the pain and make himself feel better.

"Still drinking? How much have you drank at my place in the past few days? Don't you need to keep a clear head to deal with the investigation team?" The vice principal tilted his head and looked at Angers at the computer desk.

Ever since he received the news of the suspected arrival of the investigation team, Angers hid in the attic of the night watchman. It was a natural safe room for him because it was one of the few places in the school that was not detected by Norma. safe area, and no one would have thought that Hilbert Jean Angers would commit himself to hiding in a garbage dump. This does not fit in with the outside world's inherent impression of this old gentleman.

In the eyes of many people, the principal of Cassel College has a "character". Even if this old guy is really down and out one day, you will not see him ordering chicken wings and burgers for you at McDonald's or playing the harmonium by the Naihe Bridge in Cambridge. Performing arts, deceiving some wealthy women who are inexperienced in the world (for Angers, I am afraid that more than 90% of women fall into this category), and asking them to treat themselves to sit in TWENTY-TWO at night, is what this old guy wants. Persona.

But no one could have imagined that Ange would actually stoop to being a cat in the attic of the bell tower where dogs would shake their heads. This hit the blind spot of the investigation team and the school board. During this period, the investigation team was probably chasing mice in the school. I searched everywhere for the tail of Angers, the big rat, but the more I searched, the more puzzled I became. I might even wonder if Angers took away the student's tuition this year and took the CC1000 express train overnight.

"If I don't want to be found, then few people in this world can find me. I have the highest authority of Norma. As long as I am still in Cassel College, the 'eyes in the sky' that the school board relies on will only be me. Without Norma's help, they would be no different from blind people. As for the power of the masses and my reputation among the student community, I think most people will not betray me." Angers walked away from the computer desk. , stood in front of the coffee table and bent down to pour himself a glass of wine.

"Although you are a bastard, I have to admit that having many peaches and plums all over the world is indeed one of your few advantages!" The vice-principal slapped himself on the face, "But the investigation team is not stupid, they know they can't catch you Just arrest your students. Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang. These three most critical figures have been placed under house arrest. Although they said they were assisting the investigation, they directly coerced Schneider and asked the execution department to go there. Arresting people is nothing more than a warning and demonstration to us two old guys!"

"They won't say anything. I have confidence in the three of them." Angers shook the wine slightly to speed up the process of sobering up.

"Don't you say a word about torture? When did the quality of students in our college become so high?"

"At most, they will only use verbal coercion and intimidation, not torture. Frost is not an idiot. They don't need to use such a method that can easily leave us with a way to turn the tables." Angers paused and added, "If possible. I even hope that they have this kind of intention. I think Chu Zihang will be happy to cooperate. Later at the hearing, we only need to lift up his clothes to reveal the evidence, and we can summarize all the accusations of the school board as: "Succumbing is enough, no matter how reliable the evidence is, it will come to nothing in the face of the ugly face of coercion."

"I can understand why you don't mention Su Xiaoqiang. After all, she is a girl and cannot withstand the process of torture to extract confessions. The main reason is that she is not good at lifting her clothes in public. But I still wonder why you don't let Lu Mingfei cooperate with you. ? Doesn’t that guy always listen to you the most, or is he really your son and you can’t bear to let him get beaten?” The vice-principal looked at Angers suspiciously.

"Let's not talk about it for now." Angers scratched his eyebrows, "Are you sure that the investigation team only put three of them under house arrest? What about the freshman Xia Mi? I remember that she was also involved in the Chicago incident."

"She seems to be just an outsider. She is a new student that Lin Nian and others met by chance in Chicago. She did not play any substantive role in the conflict with the UII hunting team." The vice principal shook his head, "She is clean. Not only I, but also the investigation team have gone through Norma’s files about her dozens of times. House arrest will have no effect on her. If I were the investigation team, I would be more inclined to win over her and induce her to stay in the country than to put pressure on her. Committing perjury at the hearing.”

"She shouldn't be so stupid. Anyone who can enter Kassel College is not a fool. As long as she inquires about Chu Zihang and Lin Nian's reputation in the school in the past few days, she will not choose to risk her next four years. Make a bet on the learning environment." Angers shook his head.

"It sounds like your students are like campus bullies or something. If they offend them, they will be bullied until they graduate." The vice principal commented.

"I checked my wine storage at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It seems that the freshman and Lin Nian got along pretty well during their time in Chicago, so the probability of her being attracted is not high."

"Don't underestimate what the school board can do to win. Have you forgotten that the freshman's family was also detained in the college because of the incident? They should still be waiting for investigation in the room arranged by the Executive Department, right?"

"Schneider will help me watch over there, and I will know if there is any situation." Angers waved his hand, "I'm actually not too worried that the investigation team will use dirty tricks to get more cards in this regard, I care more. The cards they already have are the cards they already have, and these are the cards we should really start preparing countermeasures for."

"The theme of this hearing has been decided, a public trial against Lin Nian's dangerous bloodline. The venue will be the Hall of Valor. The hearing will start at 9:00 a.m. Chicago time the day after tomorrow. The elders, tenured professors and department directors will all be present. They will use the Chinese language In other words, it should be called a "three-court trial". The three parties selected a total of 12 people to form the jury for this hearing. King Solomon, a highly respected among tenured professors, served as the judge. As long as he is a student or faculty member of Kassel College, You can attend, but the seats are limited, and you will be selected by Norma based on your usual conduct points."

"Old friend, I know you are well-liked among the students, but how are your connections among the faculty and staff?" the vice-principal suddenly asked.

"Do you want me to come forward to blacklist votes?" Ange scratched his old face with his index finger.

"What time has it been? You are about to lose your job. Don't worry about things like face until you get a seat on your butt. Regardless of the meeting of elders, those old guys won't listen to us. How many tenured professors and department heads are there? Is it something we can talk about?”

"There are a few, but I don't recommend this, because I am not suitable for publicity now. Although it is true that no one can catch me, I can't openly give people the opportunity to "catch"." Angers shook his head.

"Or is it going to change from 'disappearance' to 'open resistance to investigation'? That's fine. If it's not suitable for public appearances, we can also send anonymous emails. It just so happens that I have some dirt on several department heads!" The vice-principal drank heavily and looked at him. Ruthless.

"What black material?" Angers was a little surprised. He had known that the vice-principal had a press department as his 'private army', but he didn't expect that this group of guys who he thought were just a mob could actually get something that could change the situation. .

"Pornographic photos of several department heads, as well as prank photos of school bullies stuffing them into lockers before their bloodline was awakened. For these old guys who hold their own status, they are extremely dark!"

"." Sure enough, we shouldn't expect this rabble.

"Save it, the dirty information your paparazzi dug up is not enough to turn the situation around. Moreover, the investigation team now has Norma's certain authority. They can trace the source to your attic before the threatening email is sent. Now, bring your news department together and find out. Compared with the jury, I think the student delegation may be one of the key points. We can make a fuss in the audience. I recently watched a Hong Kong movie, 'Three This is where I learned how to judge." Angers took a sip of wine.

"Besides, what else have you learned that can help us overthrow the investigation team? Stomp on their heads at the hearing?" The vice-principal was a little annoyed by Angers' dismissive attitude.

“I also learned that public opinion has a way of changing the overall situation. This hearing was conducted with a jury as the final adjudicator. As long as the situation is not one that the school board has to say, then the situation will be that we and the school board will submit separate opinions to each other. Public opinion shows our hand to see which side the public opinion is on." Angers paused for a second, "It's like a clichéd fairy tale, the game of angels and demons, you play one, I play one, or it cancels out , or one party takes away the soul of the sinner."

"But the sins committed by your students are really countless, and the cards in the opponent's hand are frighteningly good." The vice-principal frowned, "If you want to prove that your students are of dangerous blood, the investigation team can start from almost a hundred directions. Now that I have started, I won’t talk about the recent past. As for the previous Pearl Tower incident, his murderousness was a big problem. Although Norma has cleared some of the surveillance cameras at targeted locations, there is no guarantee that the school board will still have it. Backup."

"That time, we can temporarily cover it up with the critical situation. After all, it was a trap. If you were locked up in a building with so many artificial Deadpools, you would transform into a god of death, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out at all."

"What about that time in Japan? What about that time in Carmel Town? What about that time in the Caribbean? Those are all evidence that have been documented. There is no reason for the investigation team not to use these ready-made 'good cards'!" The deputy! The principal asked a barrage of questions again, which made Ange sigh, "You can excuse him once, but how can you excuse him if he does it every time?"

"Okay, okay, I know it's a difficult question."

"So you admit that you can't handle it?" The vice-principal suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Ange was stunned for a moment, and looking at his old friend's mean look, he couldn't help but guess what he meant.

Sure enough, the vice-principal slapped his hands twice, and the door to the attic was pushed open. The owl with black wings walked in despite the strong wind and heavy rain. He was so tall that he even had to lower his head to avoid collision. To the slightly lower door frame of the attic.

"I can really handle the things you can't handle, and I'm counting on the paparazzi you don't like!" The vice-principal said proudly. When the tall figure in a raincoat came up to him, Angers raised the wine glass. Using the candlelight on the table, he could clearly see the rotten face under the hood. At this moment, he was a little distracted, recalling in his mind who this guy was.

The tall figure peeled off his raincoat, and also peeled off the skin that had been mysteriously buffed by the wind and rain. He was wearing a school uniform and a figure that had recently gained weight due to the good food. At first glance, he looked a bit like an old and fat domestic golden retriever.
