No matter whether he was speaking the truth, Xing Ye and Cao Qian had no way of attacking Mr. Deng. Now, they could only take the opportunity to get information out of him.

"What did you guys discover in the gym last night?" Xing Ye asked.

"Di Kuang said we couldn't completely trust you and that there was no way somebody would really give important info to their enemy. While he was mingling with you, he had Guan Ling and Wu Yu search for special QR codes and clues. Whether it was the video or the painting, everything pointed to Bai Xu. As such, Di Kuang went to meet Bai Xu. "

Under Mr. Deng's narration, Xing Ye and Cao Qian learned about the plot from their side.

Bai Xu seemed nowhere near as vicious as Xing Ye had described. When Di Kuang directly pointed out what happened back then, Bai Xu immediately started crying and said she was being forced.

She said Lin Jingxue was afraid of leaving evidence and gave her the key, forcing her to frame Liu Muqing. That day on the stairs, she had personally watched Lin Jingxue push Liu Muqing down and even made her father break the school's monitoring cameras.

Bai Xu hadn't lied, the monitoring cameras really were broken by somebody Lin Jingxue's father found. She even recorded the phone call between Lin Jingxue and her father.

Back then, Lin Jingxue had personally watched Liu Muqing die. Her mental condition had completely deteriorated, making her speech basically incoherent. In the recording, she was crying, "Liu Muqing died, sob, sob..." and her father had decisively said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with the monitoring cameras."

The recording successfully dispelled Di Kuang's doubts. He was confident in the evidence he himself had found and thought Xing Ye was trying to misguide him.

Bai Xu's skill at distorting the truth really made her sound credible. If Xing Ye and Cao Qian hadn't personally witnessed the two girls' souls and the monstrous appearance Bai Xu had at night, they might have also been fooled.

"Too shameless." Cao Qian shook her head. She never thought somebody could be so evil.

Xing Ye had already been prepared. If she didn't have such ability, how would she have been able to set up the plotline and push all the blame on Lin Jingxue?

"If you hadn't started investigating with the piano, we might've also been fooled." Cao Qian said.

"No, even if I heard 'Who Killed Cock Robin' and Lin Jingxue's spirit followed behind me, Bai Xu still could've inverted the truth. Bai Xu could say Liu Muqing was the robin, Lin Jingxue was the sparrow, and she was the fly who witnessed everything. The reason Lin Jingxue followed me was because her hatred was very strong and could choke me to death. Under such circumstances, would you rather believe in an evil spirit that can't talk or move and wants to choke you, or the beautiful and kindhearted daytime Bai Xu?"  Xing Ye said.

Cao Qian fell silent. If it was her, she would definitely believe Bai Xu's excuse.

"What did you guys discover in the gym?" Xing Ye asked Mr. Deng.

"We found Liu Muqing's cousin, Zhang Feiming. He's actually a second-year student here. Wu Yu noticed that he runs out of the dorm every night to hide something in the gym. Yesterday, they searched for it behind my back but didn't seem to find anything, so they told me to continue searching today." Mr. Deng didn't hide anything.

A second-year. He could still be called a teenager.

He also had the same surname as Aunty Zhang, meaning Zhang Feiqing was Liu Muqing's uncle's child. Two years ago, he was only in his third year of middle school and still hadn't entered the school.
