<strong>Chapter 362: Something Is Strange</strong>

    Lauren noticed that the middle-aged woman was wearing a loose-fitting


    T-shirt whose cor had been pulled wide open. It was obvious that it had been


    washed many times.


    The man was wearing a pair of trousers which were covered in dust at the


    bottom. It was likely that he worked outdoors or did manualbor.


    He probably wasn’t lying when he said that they were from the countryside.


    In such a case, it was always best to appease the one who had been beaten, so


    Mr. Hill quickly said, “Don’t worry, the school will definitely investigate this


    beating incident. If it was really done by Bryce, then we will definitely not


    tolerate it. But now, we have to investigate it clearly.”


    “Doesn’t the school have surveince cameras? It would be clear at a nce


    after checking the surveince cameras, right?” said Franklin, who had been


    silent all this time.


    Even though the victim and his family seemed genuine, he was still willing to


    trust his younger brother.


    Mr. Hill had a troubled expression on his face, he said, “We had already


    thought of investigating the surveince cameras from the very beginning,


    but...the ace where Jaxxon was taking his lunch was at the back of the school


    auditorium. No one usually went to that ce, so the school did not install any


    surveince cameras. All the students will pass through the ces where the


    surveince cameras were, so we are unable to find anything”


    Suddenly, there wasa “ding” sound in Lauren’s head.


    [Host, there are still two weeks before the end of the fifth and sixth missions.


    Please hurry up andplete the missions as soon as possible.]


    Then, the contents of the two missions appeared in Lauren’s spiritual


    consciousness. They were to find the owner of the bloody handprint and


    investigate the truth behind the incident of Fiona Karl.


    Lauren’s mind was in a mess. Why hadn’t the issue with Fiona been resolved?


    However, Fiona had obviously disappeared and she had note out to cause


    any trouble!


    Suddenly, Lauren raised her head and saw the couple on the opposite side, who


    demanding justice. There was also Bryce, who was indignant, and Jaxxon,


    who was cowering in a corner with wounds all over his body. There was a bold


    thought in her mind.


    Could it be that Fiona was involved in Jaxxon’s injury?


    ording to Bryce, there had been two or three bullying incidents at Thomas


    Johnson High School recently. This was something that had never happened


    before.


    The timeline seemed to match. The bullying incidents only happened at


    Thomas Johnson High School after they released Fiona.


    Once she had this thought, Lauren began to feel that there was a connection


    between the two.


    There was no way for the two sides to reconcile their statements. Furthermore,


    neither side admitted that they were lying and there was no direct evidence.


    This left everyone in a difficult situation.


    In the end, they even went to the scene of the incident.


    This ce was indeed very quiet and remote. It was a forest.


    As Mr. Hill walked, he asked Jaxxon, “Why did youe to such a ce for


    lunch?”


    “My family is poor, and I can’t afford the food in the school cafeteria, so I can


    only bring some simple steamed buns and pickles over to eat every day. That’s


    why I eat at these ces before going back.”


    At this age, he already had a strong sense of self-esteem. Saying this to his


    teachers and parents made him feel a little embarrassed, but the injuries on his


    body reminded him again and again that he had to tell the truth.


    This is the ce.”


    Jaxxon pointed to arge rock under a tree.


    “This is where I usually eat.”


    The small forest was covered in grass. One could clearly see that some of the


    grass around the rock had been ttened and disturbed, which meant that a


    fight had indeed taken ce here.


    Lauren raised her head and looked at her surroundings. There were only trees


    around, and no clear evidence.


    Even so, it did not prove that Bryce was the one who had hit Jaxxon.


    Then, Mr. Hill found some of the ssmates who usually ate with Bryce and


    asked them about Bryce’s whereabouts at noon.


    A boy who ate with Bryce in the same dormitory scratched his head and said, “I


    remember Bryce went to eat with us at noon today. No, that’s not right! He


    didn’t go either! I can’t remember clearly.”


    Mr. Hill frowned. “What do you mean? It was just something that happened at


    noon today, right? You can’t even remember clearly?”


    The boy seemed to be really distressed.


    “T’m sorry, Mr. Hill. I really can’t remember clearly.”


    When Mr. Hill was questioning the boy, they were waiting outside the door.


    Lauren’s sharp hearing allowed her to hear the conversation clearly.
