The investigator looked at him with a bit of surprise and admiration in his eyes. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old. Many children of the same age may not be able to speak a complete sentence clearly when facing strangers.

But he was able to integrate a series of sounds he heard last night and express what he heard smoothly.

"At 11 o'clock last night, your roommates must have gone to bed. Why were you still awake?" the investigator asked again.

Without blinking, Xiao Liuzi quickly came up with an explanation: "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I heard a noise outside, so I didn't go out."

The investigator said "hmm", but Xiao Liuzi couldn't tell whether he believed what he said.

The tip of his pen swept across the paper. After a long time, the investigator raised his head and said to him: "You gave a good answer. Please sit down."

After Xiaoliuzi sat down, the investigator asked the second question, "Have any classmates been feeling unwell recently?"

No one raised their hands. It's not the season yet, so it's not easy to catch a cold.

Just as he was about to ask the next question, a little girl raised her hand timidly, "Teacher, a classmate is feeling unwell, can I tell you?"

"You say it."

"That's right, there is a boy named 'Lele' in our class. He often has a fever. Last week... no, it should be last week. He got seriously ill!"

Although the girl's words were stumbling, it did not affect the investigator's ability to understand her meaning.

The investigator asked patiently: "Has his body recovered?"

The girl said seriously: "Yes, his fever is very strange! Usually he has a fever on the first night and lasts for two or three days, and then it will definitely get better on the fourth day."

This doesn't sound like a cold, and a cold can take about a week to recover from at the earliest.

"Will he have a cough, sore throat or runny nose when he has a fever?"

The girl recalled it for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, he just has a fever, not a cold."

The investigator noted next to Lele's name: "It's not a cold, nor is it like other infectious diseases."

He noticed that there seemed to be a figure flashing outside the door, changed the subject, asked a few innocuous questions, and hurriedly ended the interview.

Pretending to be casual, Chu Yao walked to the front and back doors of the classroom and posted a mute note on each.

She gestured to the investigator, and he said understandingly, "Apart from the classmates of Liu Jingqi just now, are there any classmates in dormitory 202 and classmate Shao Qinlei who have a good relationship with you? Keep them all."

The other students left the classroom, except for the two girls and Xiao Liuzi.

The previous questions they asked were not very important. They just wanted to understand the situation at that time and also wanted to deceive the dean again to see if he really had a problem.

The dean did indeed take the bait. He was very familiar with the structure of the teaching building. It seemed that he had left the teaching building, but in fact he went around and came in through another entrance.

In the middle of their questioning, the dean quietly came to the back door and eavesdropped on the sounds in the classroom.

When he saw that the students were about to leave the classroom, he quickly ducked and hid in the water room next to him, for fear of being discovered by others.

Only when there were no more footsteps outside did the dean dare to continue coming out.
