Chapter Nine

  Katie nodded silently, and indeed, once Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxi worked together, they could be compared to Zheng Hanfei. Their coordination was even better than hers with Di Luo, and she couldn't help but admire Zheng Hanfei's vision.

  Although Gu Ge and Nan Ruoxi were in the upper hand, Katie was not someone who would easily admit defeat, especially since their conclusion had not been proven yet. So she said: "That's just me telling him out of kindness, besides, there's a huge mistake in your reasoning earlier, this is a straight corridor without any corners or anything, how could I have used mirrors to reflect?"

  "Ah, you're talking about this!" Gu Jie chuckled and turned his head to Nan Ruoxuan, saying, "Little Xuan, show her."

  "Alright!" Nan Ruo Xun licked her lips, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight. When she returned, she had two large pieces of cloth in her hand, with scenes on them that were identical to the walls on both sides of the corridor.

  "This is what they call a 'straight' corridor?" Gu Ge said with an amused smile, "It's deceiving to our eyes, but take a closer look and you can spot the difference. After all, no matter how realistic the scene is, it can't be compared to the real thing."

  "Then tell me where the mirror is!" Kitty said, unwilling to give up.

  "I'm not familiar with this place, so I don't know which room it's in." Kati's words gave her the initiative again, but the next sentence made her take a surprise, and the direction of the initiative shifted back to Gu Ge, "But I do know that mirror is in the bathroom on this floor."

  "What?!"

  "The time you left our place was only the time we discovered and were shocked by Di Luo, but in such a short time, you managed to hide the mirror and cover things with cloth in the corridor, which is already quite impressive. There wasn't even enough time to go to the second floor bathroom, yet at that time, there were water stains on your clothes and face. So I'm guessing what you said earlier was a lie, there is indeed a bathroom on the third floor, and you hid the mirror in the bathroom."

  "Then go ahead and find it," Katie said nonchalantly. "If you can find the so-called 'mirror', that would be proof that I'm an accomplice, the best evidence of Di Luo's disappearing technique."

  She did come up with this. Zheng Hanfei underestimated Kitty in his heart, he had previously guessed that Kitty would use their unfamiliarity with the third floor layout to cover up her "crime", so neither the real conference room nor the location of the mirror could be used as evidence to determine her "crime".

  Of course, they can search room by room on the third floor, but there is simply not enough time. Who knows how many rooms are on this floor? And who can guarantee that they won't get lost in the process of searching?

  Fortunately, Zheng Hanfei finally found the evidence, but what he was worried about was that with Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxuan's observational skills, they might not think of that aspect.

  Just as Zheng Hanfei had expected, Gu Jie was suddenly speechless, and Nan Ruoxuan's face also fell. They had indeed forgotten that Katie would have such a move.

  "There are still thirty minutes left, I hope you can hurry up." Katie smiled slightly, but was a bit disappointed in her heart. It seemed that she had guessed wrong again. Except for the president, even if there were several people on the other side, they couldn't compare to Zheng Hanfei.

  It's infuriating! Nan Ruo Xun cursed inwardly, clenching his fists and charging straight at the door beside him. With a loud crash, faint cracks appeared on the surface of the door.

  "Xiao Xun, stop it, you'll have to pay for the door if you break it." Zheng Hanfei smiled awkwardly at Katie and hastily stopped Nan Ruoxun from continuing to punch, thinking that this kid was being unreasonable. Can't find evidence, so you're this angry? If you break the door, not only will the door be unlucky, but you'll also be unlucky.

  "It's also said, you'd better stop." Gu Jie grabbed Nan Ruoxuan's wrist and dissuaded him.

  "But... we were just short of this much, it's really frustrating! I really want to take this door that is not a real conference room..." As she said this, Nan Ruo Xun's eyes lit up and pointed at Katie: "I found the evidence!"

  "What?!" Gu Ge and Katie exclaimed in unison, while Zheng Hanfei smiled slightly to himself, thinking "Little Xun, well done!"

  "It's the key to this door!" Nan Ruo Xun exclaimed excitedly, "If this room is really a conference room, then that key should be able to open the door of this room."

  "You mean I changed the key of the room door?"

  "That's right!" Nan Ruo Xun nodded, "The key to the conference room can only open the door of the conference room."

  Huh? Xiaoxun, I have to say, your idea is wrong.

  Zheng Hanfei helplessly shook his head. Nan Ruoxuan's starting point was good, but unfortunately she took a detour, making what she said impossible to become evidence.

  "How boring!" Katia sneered, pulling out the key from her pocket and tossing it to Nanruoxuan, "You try to see if you can open this door."

  Nan Ruoxi took the key and inserted it into the lock. The next moment, her face fell again because the key fit perfectly and could turn the lock, which meant that her idea was completely wrong.

  "Wait a minute!" Gu Ge suddenly roared, "I understand! I've found the decisive evidence!"

  "Oh? What is it? Don't tell me it's still the key."

  "That's right, it's the key." Gu Jie pointed at Nan Ruo Xun's hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this key is just like the conference room key, but it lacks one thing - my and Xiao Fei's fingerprints!"

  "What?!"

  "Because from the time I came out of the bathroom to now, Xiao Fei and I have not touched this key at all." Gu Jie smiled slightly, seeing Katie's reaction, he knew that he was right.

  "Ah...Kitty took a deep breath, glanced at the time, and slowly opened her mouth. 'I lost, I didn't expect that you and Zheng Hanfei wouldn't touch the key. Congratulations to both of you, the second test is passed.'"

  "Wow!" Gu Jie and Nan Ruoxi hugged each other, jumping up excitedly. This time, it was a case they had cracked together through their own efforts.

  "Was the evidence you wanted to mention earlier this too?" Kitty asked, glancing at Zheng Hanfei.

  "Good!" Zheng Hanfei nodded, "I'm glad that at the time Xiaoxun didn't give me another look at the key, otherwise this evidence wouldn't exist and they would have to search for it room by room. Anyway, let's get back to the real conference room."

  "Yes, I'll go unlock it and let him out right now." With that, Kitty headed towards the real conference room. Since the test was over, she didn't bother to open the door of the conference room again, or else Dilo would probably come out and complain to her again.

  "Then we won't go. Ask him a good one for me." Zheng Hanfei smiled, "By the way, where is the third test?"

  "Go upstairs," said Kitty, stopping at the door. "The president's office, you should know where it is. As for the way down, I don't need to say any more."

  "Thanks." Zheng Hanfei said thanks and then shouted to the two who were still excited: "Stop messing around, go to the last test location quickly."

  "Yes!" The two replied in unison and followed Zheng Han to the last test site.

  It wasn't until later that the three of them realized that there were only two corridors on the third floor running east-west, and it was not the corridor at the easternmost end of the conference room. The last few rooms were warehouses, otherwise they wouldn't have used this method.

  ……

  "Strange? How can there be no one?" He knocked on the president's office door several times in a row, but there was not a single response inside, which made Zheng Hanfei feel a little puzzled.

  "It can't be that they're ignoring us because they're afraid we'll join the detective agency, right?" Nan Ruo Xun said with a hint of indignation beside him.

  "He's not that kind of person..." Just as Zheng Hanfei was about to knock on the door again, a sweet voice caught their attention.

  "Zheng Hanfei, and you guys, how did you end up here?"

  "Wan Er?!" Zheng Hanfei didn't expect Zhong Li Wan'er to arrive so promptly, and hastily asked, "Is Ouyang Xiu inside?"

  "The principal is not here. The principal just went to the teacher's office with the vice principal. Oh, right, the principal once said that if you pass the second test and find him not in his office, let you go to the teaching building to find them."

  "Thank you. Oh, and there's something else I wanted to ask, how many people are actually in the Sherlock Detective Agency?"

  "This is it!" Zhong Liyu smiled, "There are only five people in the whole club, including the president, vice-president, Sister Kitty, Dilo and me. If you can join us, there will be eight people."

  It's so few! Zheng Hanfei exclaimed, but this club has only a handful of people, all of whom are the elite among the elite. No wonder it can become a well-known club that everyone dreams of joining.

  "Thank you, Xiao Xun, Xiao Jie, we..." Before the words were out, a faint scream pierced everyone's ears, and the faces of all present changed.

  "What's going on?" Zheng Hanfei asked.

  "The sound seems to be coming from outside the community." Zhong Liyu pointed in a certain direction and said, "It seems to be that way."

  "Isn't that the teaching building?" Nan Ruoxi said in horror.

  "Come on, go and take a look!" Zheng Hanfei shouted to the other three people, then rushed towards the stairs. He dared to guarantee that something had happened in the teaching building, and the worst case was that someone had been killed!
