A new problem arose—why was there a female ghost student?
If the male teacher was wrongly accused, then whose hands did this ghost student die at?
The crisis edged closer, leaving Yang Xiao with little time. His brain worked at breakneck speed, as he strenuously contemplated the possible connections within the case.
Suddenly, he realized the key—if this ghost student was connected to the male teacher's case, then she must have been his student. In other words, Nie Hexiang must have known her.
As Yang Xiao arrived at this conclusion, so did Song Yan, and both men nearly simultaneously turned their heads to look at Nie Hexiang, who was silently sitting in a corner.
It was unclear what had transpired earlier, but Nie Hexiang seemed to be in a self-imposed isolation. Yang Xiao guessed it was because of some harsh words from the other teachers.
