C16 (1/2)

Although they said that those who died were their schoolmates, these children seemed too nervous. The teacher shouted out an answer and recited it properly. When he saw Su Mu and the others outside the window, he immediately stammered out. The other children were about the same. Even when they were staring at the books and at the teacher, they couldn't help but look out of the corner of their eyes.

”Old mister, can I ask for a few children after class?” Su Mu asked.

The old man was already old and had a bit of a problem with his ears. Su Mu could only whisper in the old man's ear to raise his voice and ask again.

”Sure. Wu Lei is a good child, unlike his father, but every child in this private school is a good child. The old teacher trembled as he beckoned for the teacher who was in the middle of his lecture to come out.

”We will not let a bad person off, and we will not wrongly accuse a good person.” Lin Yi comforted him.

The teacher was young and wore a green robe. He had a serious expression on his face and had a sour image. Hearing Su Mu's request, he frowned and let Su Mu enter alone. After all, Lin Yi and the others did not seem like they would get close to a child.

”Lord, you saved us yesterday. We believe in you. We were not the ones who killed Wu Lei. You must save us.” Before Su Mu could ask, a boy at the last table stood up and said. That boy was wearing a coarse shirt, so it was obvious that he didn't have a very good family background.

”Although we don't like playing with Wu Lei, we don't dare to kill him!” Another boy said, and swallowed.

Su Mu smiled at the children. Her smile had an affinity with it and was always liked by children: ”Then why don't you guys like playing with Wu Lei?”

The two boys looked at each other, and the latter said, ”Officer Su is overbearing and unreasonable. If Wu Lei is injured, anyone close to him will be beaten up. If they are dead or rotten, of course we wouldn't dare to get close to him.”

It was human nature to avoid benefits, and children were no exception.

”Then where did you go the night Su Lei disappeared?” Su Mu walked to the boy's side and asked gently.

The boy could not help but shiver and say, ”There was a temple party that day. We had an appointment to go there together and play, so other than Wu Lei, we all went.”

To children, the temple fair was indeed very attractive.

”I also like going to the temple fair. I eat and drink more than usual. What did you do at the temple fair? ” Su Mu tried to get close to the children.

”We... We bought candy from Second Master Ju's house... ” The boy was interrupted in mid-sentence by the boy at the last table.

”No, we only watched the show. We didn't bring much money, so we can't afford to buy anything.” the boy said.

”Right, we were just watching a play. We were standing on a block by the stone bridge and acting out the role of the White Lady. I remember her very clearly.” The boy beside Su Mu said, but his tone was weak.

”Oh? ”Is that so?” Su Mu knew they were hiding it, but what was it? Su Mu didn't believe that they were the ones who killed him, but he couldn't rely on his feelings to solve cases like this.

The boy's eyes flashed as he straightened his neck and said, ”Yes.”

Su Mu didn't force anything and gave each of them a piece of candy. Other than the two of them, the rest of the brats looked like sick little quail and didn't utter a sound.

Su Mu walked out of the classroom and exchanged gazes with Lin Yi. They both smiled in tacit understanding.

”Where's Brother Bao?” Su Mu asked curiously as she didn't see Bao Fu Cheng after coming out.

Lin Yi said, ”He's wandering around.”

Su Mu didn't mind. He looked at the young teacher and asked, ”Teacher, do you know Second Master Qu?”

The teacher seemed to be a bit uneasy. He lost his initial slowness and began to sound a bit impatient. ”Second Young Master Ju's family sells candied fruits. They have a lot of sugar. The child likes it. I still have lessons to attend, so I'll be leaving first.”

Su Mu didn't say anything more. She had a faint thought and raised her head slightly to look at Lin Yi. ”Let's go buy a candied fruits.” As she spoke, Su Mu couldn't help but lick his lips. She was very sweet. No matter where she went, she would bring some sugar. It was fine if they didn't mention it, but once she mentioned the candied fruits, she began to crave them.

From Lin Yi's point of view, Su Mu was a little cute. Su Mu was delicate and pretty. His men's attire didn't go against the rules, it only made her look even more delicate and small.

Lin Yi stared at Su Mu's willow leaf eyebrows in a daze. Su Mu also felt that the atmosphere wasn't right and let out a cough.

Lin Yi came back to his senses and coughed a few times as if he was hiding it. He fanned himself with his fan, but this tempo seemed to be a bit fast. ”Then let's go. I haven't tasted the taste of candied fruits before.”

By the time Bao Fu returned, there was no one here anymore. Someone who valued sex had already bought the candied fruits. Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the candied fruits in his hands. The thin bamboo sticks that were glowing red on the stick looked very pleasing to the eye, but the candied fruits were wrapped too thick. Moreover, Su Mu was the one who paid for the candied fruits.

Su Mu only bought five skewers, splitting one into Lin Yi and the other into four. But when Lin Yi was considering whether to eat the second one, Su Mu had already finished it.
