Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196: Was It Him?

“He did not appear to be violent when he was at his most emotional. I spotted something powdery in his hair as I went by that table. It was not a lot. I would not have noticed it if I had not been paying attention. When I passed by, he was flipping through a book as if he was discussing its contents with someone beside him. I noticed that he had calluses on his right thumb, index finger, and middle finger. When I saw that, I was initially perplexed, but after that, I realized what his occupation was.”

Colonel Lin remained silent and waited for Jiang Yao to finish her sentence.

“That person should be a teacher, perhaps an experienced teacher with a long career.” Jiang Yao raised her brows triumphantly. “Years of writing on the blackboard with chalk had created calluses on his three fingers, and the powder in his hair must have been chalk dust. He went to school in the morning for a class, and after that, he changed his clothes and sat down. Even the props, such as the books, were purchased by the person organizing the evaluation. The newspaper under the book, on the other hand, must have been brought by the teacher, and it should be a current one. Perhaps the teacher was on his way home from school and purchased a copy of the newspaper.”

Jiang Yao gave a slight smile. “That teacher’s school should not be too far from the coffee shop. If you give me a map, I might be able to figure out the school that teacher attended.”

Colonel Lin was taken aback after hearing Jiang Yao’s analysis of the first person. She was correct. That teacher was a former colleague from his wife’s school. He used to be his wife’s teacher, and then he became her coworker.

“This is fantastic!” Colonel Lin lauded her. “It is truly a pity that more people are not able to see this. It’s even worse if Lu Xingzhi does not see this!”

“I want to hear you guess the designer of this assessment after you analyzed the second man.” Colonel Lin laughed after he said that. “One trap after another, who would do such a thing?”

Jiang Yao blinked. She wanted to say she did not know, but when she heard Colonel Lin’s mocking laughter, she knew who it was.

“It can’t be Lu Xingzhi, right?” Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Yes, it’s Lu Xingzhi.” Colonel Lin laughed so hard that he almost suffocated. “Do you think he is a bad person?”

“So he’s trying to trick me?” Jiang Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry. “All the information, including the details, were planned by Lu Xingzhi?”

“Hmm.” Colonel Lin nodded.

So, her Lu Xingzhi was the old fox she had cursed in her heart over and over again?

Colonel Lin was pleased to see that Jiang Yao’s look was more interesting than her response. It was only then that he felt at peace. “This is the evaluation plan that the chief had ordered Lu Xingzhi to complete in half a day. We were taken aback when we heard the idea. But it is exactly what he, Lu Xingzhi, should have done. He has a high standard for his partner.”

“I now understand why Zhou Junmin and the others complained incessantly when Lu Xingzhi said that he wanted to customize the winter training plan.” Jiang Yao smiled. “Now, I feel the same way.”

“Come on, tell me your analysis of the remaining people,” Colonel Lin said. “Give me the rest of your answers. I hope you won’t disappoint me. I hope you can give me a perfect answer.”
