Welcome to Forge Town

Joanna Mountbatten died, and it was destined to be a troubled day.

During the day, people who had been involved with her were called in by the police officer to talk to her one after another.Her parents also came immediately after hearing the notice, which allowed Allen to finally see the power of the Mountbatten couple's tongue.He was sure that Joanna, who seemed arrogant, hadn't had time to learn [-]% tricks from her parents.

As for Miranda, as the principal, she naturally had to bear the brunt of the doubts and intimidation from the parents of the deceased.However, to Allen's surprise, after nearly two hours of "negotiations", the "delicate" Miranda not only did not damage the battlefield, but successfully persuaded the Mountbatten couple to go back and wait for the news obediently, and the process remained unchanged. It's classy.

After this incident, in Allen's eyes, Miranda's charm suddenly expanded a lot.

"It's basically a suicide case." At [-]:[-] in the night, the principal's office was turned on.Miranda said.She had just sent Joanna's parents away, and it had been a long-lost battle.Now she just wants to end this emergency meeting as soon as possible and go home to take a comfortable rose bath.

So she has to step up the pace of explanation.

"Because Joanna took off her shoes by the pool before entering the water—this is an important indicator for the police to determine that it was not a homicide." She nodded and took a sip of hot tea.Indeed, this is the officer's closing statement before he leaves: No one takes off their shoes before being murdered.So as long as the family has no objection, the police will not continue to investigate the homicide.As far as the school is concerned, "not a homicide" is obviously the best bad news.For the sake of the school's reputation, she will spare no effort to lead in this direction.

In the middle of the meeting, Simon was late.He closed the door with a crisp click, which seemed a bit abrupt in the silent environment. "My student said that Joanna went to the Wishing Fountain three days ago. Maybe it was because of emotional distress? After all, it always makes people lose their minds. And you also know that it is not sane to do such stupid things as easily end your life What people should do." He said, relying on his excellent observation skills, he immediately connected to the topic, and then sat down in the empty seat next to Allen.

Allen rubbed his sore eyes and moved aside: "Mr. Pearson."

Simon winked at him. "Hey, Teddy, you can pillow my lap if you want to sleep," he said nervously.Allen slammed a wit, and he suddenly became sober.

"Oh, and talking about a dead man at night makes a fine bedtime story." Meg set the teacup on the table, clanging it. "Thank you so much for sharing, ladies and gentlemen. But I don't care what game that kid is playing, or who he is dying for—so, Principal Miranda, thank you for your hard work today, and the Explain. But if there is nothing else, I want to go back early, and Jins is still waiting for me at home." She clasped her hands and said to Miranda in a dignified manner.She really didn't want to get in touch with these boring and unfortunate things for a moment.

But Miranda rarely rejected Meg's request. "Later, Meg. Please give me another 2 minutes. I believe the generous Kings will not care about this time." She said with a smile, and poured a new cup of black tea for Meg.

Miranda has always had a good temperament. Even if she refused, she did it very tactfully, and at the same time she had the characteristics of a leader.Even if it's just talking about a cat, she's at her best.

Meg obviously liked the set.He snorted without saying anything, took the black tea and sat down again.

Miranda gave her a friendly smile and continued: "Simon was right just now. Cindy and Sandra also told me this morning that Joanna did have a new boyfriend in the past two days. But the process of this relationship It's extremely mysterious, even they don't know who the target is, they can only vaguely guess that Joanna's death may have something to do with it. And more importantly..."

She lowered her eyelashes and put down her teacup suddenly. "I just got a call from the coroner's office. They said that Joanna's body had a reaction." She folded her hands on her knees and said softly.

Meg suddenly laughed exaggeratedly: "Oh, Miranda, does this news surprise you? Doesn't it mean that Joanna looks like a good girl who keeps herself safe?"

"That's not true," Alan continued. "After all, Joanna is a devout Christian anyway," he said firmly.

really.Although Joanna is not very kind to others, Ellen can always see Joanna in church every weekend.He will never forget the way she prayed devoutly, like an angel.Also as a child of God, Allen believed that he would not miss Joanna's loyal blood.Even if her "friendship" is not good enough.

Miranda gave Allen an appreciative look: "That's right, so I guess she would not agree to premarital sex. In addition, she has new injuries from scuffling and friction, which may be caused by that night. Only then did she choose to commit suicide... She is such a resolute child, I can’t believe she would choose this path.” She picked up her teacup again and took a sip.Allen looked at her.Apart from elegance, it seemed difficult to see other emotions from Miranda, so even though she said something sad, her expression was still calm.

"So, that's why the Mountbatten couple didn't want to expand their investigation?" Simon asked, stretching.With long hands and long feet, he almost knocked over the floor lamp, but was held up by Allen. "Scandals like this would shame the family for centuries, especially in that position."

He wrinkled his nose and continued, "So, Miranda, we'd better not tell the students. Things will get better after the limelight has passed, and we don't need to start a fire at this moment." He smiled and looked To Miranda.Perhaps because he was tired, Simon's voice seemed hoarse than usual, with an inexplicable bewitching tone in his tone.

Meg shrugged her shoulders and made no comment.Allen was silent.In fact, he continued to observe everyone's reactions, clearly feeling everyone's indifference to this death case.Especially Simon.This surprised him.From Allen's perspective, Simon's face and the slightly curved corners of his lips could just be seen.In retrospect, since the first meeting until now, Simon seems to be in a good mood, as if nothing can knock him down.Even now, a young life died because of him...

However, does he really not know that Joanna's wish object is him?Allen couldn't help questioning.That's right, if it is said that Joanna really died because of a broken relationship, it is unreasonable that Simon would not know it at all. After all, according to the normal procedure, one must first confess before entering the stage of broken love, right?

Allen felt that he had entered a misunderstanding.

He vaguely had a bad guess, he thought of Joanna's disheveled appearance - if, he meant if, Simon actually knew that Joanna liked him and agreed to date him, but Joanna did not do so under Simon's advocacy. If this relationship is exposed, then the whole incident...does it make sense?

Thinking of this, Allen suddenly shuddered.

Simon just said, "Alan, you don't look well." He stood up with Alan's shoulders, and a huge shadow suddenly enveloped him. "Miranda, I think we'll have to go ahead, the new colleagues don't look too good, maybe they need more 'rest'." He frowned and looked worried, as if he was really worried.

"Okay, I've just finished what I should say. This is all I know so far." Miranda also stood up with a smile, and took advantage of the situation to adjust today's clothes. The khaki simple coat with white fur is very flattering her temperament. "Maybe there will be many 'curious' students these days, I hope you can try your best to 'pacify' them. Only when this matter subsides as soon as possible can Joanna's soul rest in peace." She smiled, rubbing the wine red color Her lips were slightly curved, like a bloody red moon.

Miranda is satisfied that her colleagues share her views.After all, as she just thought, for a school's top principal, it is her real responsibility to minimize the damage to the school's reputation.
