Knowing that Lin Chen was at the rest stop and couldn't leave, Xing Conglian wasn't in a rush. He knew very well the ingenuity of his friend, so Lin Chen must have known that he was already exposed.

It would be quite interesting to watch a man, who was usually known for his calmness, become extremely anxious.

On the north side of Heping Road, the traffic police stopped a school bus from presumably turning onto Changping Avenue going northbound.

When Xing Conglian arrived, the school bus driver was arguing with the traffic police who had stopped him.

"Sir, you haven't broken any laws. The police just want to ask you some questions." The traffic police officer stood by the school bus and tried to patiently persuade.

"Students are trying to get to class!" The school bus driver slammed on the steering wheel.

Xing Conglian circled around the bright yellow school bus.

The students on the bus had already gotten out so they could inspect it. The boys and girls were all wearing private school uniforms and standing in twos and threes on the side of the road.

The girls wore sailor skirts that came to their knees. When the wind blew, it revealed the lines of their youthful, energetic legs; the boys, without the slightest air of arrogance, were quietly waiting to be questioned, despite the delay.

"Fengjing* Private School?" Xing Conglian set his gaze on the school emblem composed of a golden maple leaf and silver laurels on the left side of the school bus.

*Maple [Feng] () View [Jing] (). This is why the school's emblem is a maple leaf.

"It's the city's famous private school that offers courses from kindergarten to high school. The tuition fees are quite high!" Wang Chao pointed to a little girl with a mushroom head on the side of the road. The little girl was also wearing a navy blue school uniform skirt and was being held by a tall boy.

"For such a young child, her parents are comfortable letting her go to school by herself?" Xing Conglian couldn't help but click his tongue.

"In Fengjing, kindergarteners are picked up and dropped off one-on-one by special senior students, so how could it be unsafe?" Hearing this question, the manager of the transportation company that was standing to the side couldn't help but speak up.

"Do you have children going to Fengjing?"

"My youngest brother. He's a high schooler."

"Must be rich, huh?"

Hearing what Xing Conglian said, Yang Dianfeng gave him a meaningful smile and replied, "After all, the quality of education is good, so it's only right to spend more money. If Captain Xing also wants to send his children to it, I can introduce you to the principal."

"We criminal investigators are very poor and can't afford such tuition."

While chatting with Yang Dianfeng, Xing Conglian suddenly noticed the police officer who was assisting in handling the scene had pulled something out of a girl's schoolbag.

The police officer sealed the items in the evidence bag and handed them to Xing Conglian.

Xing Conglian glanced at the contents of the bag and walked up to the female student. "Young lady..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Chao kicked him in the sides.

"Classmate, you said this thing isn't yours?" He quickly changed his tone and held up the evidence bag in front of the female student. Inside was the tablet computer that was taken away by the teenage hijacker not long ago.
