After the troublemakers left, everyone’s progress sped up. Soon, two complete portraits were placed on the table.

Bai Lin keenly felt an unusual gaze. She looked up and saw Zheng You who was peeking out of the window at the back door of the cla.s.sroom.

Zheng You hurriedly bent over and hid under the window.

However, she also felt that Bai Lin would seduce Yan Ruo when she was not around. Thus, she did not give up and peeked again.

When she straightened up, she saw Bai Lin’s face on the other side of the window.

“Ah!” Zheng You was so frightened that she screamed and retreated.

[Oh my G.o.d! Zheng You’s perspective was really scary! What’s Bai Lin up to? Is she going to take responsibility if she scared someone witless?]

[She only let Jing Shan do the work that was a.s.signed to her while she’s here peeking. Is she a lady or a thief? Why are you blaming others?]

[Lin-jie is ruthless and doesn’t say much. Whoever doesn’t work will be taught a harsh lesson by her. If your heiress is obedient and does her job well, will she be scared by Lin-jie?]

Everyone in the cla.s.sroom heard the scream and managed to guess why Bai Lin suddenly got up and went to the back door.

When Ye Xing saw that Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo were not surprised by Bai Lin’s actions, and Zhou Guang even gave her a thumbs up, she increasingly felt that Bai Lin was someone she could not afford to offend.

It was easy to see the hint when the four photos were put together. One of the photos was of a young couple, but the photo was a little yellow, so it should be old.

There was a photo that was very new. It was a photo of the same couple many years later. The two of them looked like they had always been very close.

“I know this person. He’s the princ.i.p.al.” Zhou Guang pointed at the very new photo and took out the group photo that he had removed from the princ.i.p.al’s office. “Look, this is his daughter. This school was closed down the year she graduated.”

One of the other two photos was a group photo of the princ.i.p.al’s daughter and a man. The girl looked very shy, and the man looked like he was more than ten years older than the girl. Such a big age gap made one suspicious, but the man was wearing a white coat and looked like an elite.

The last photo was of a pregnant woman. The girl who was about to become a mother was facing the light, so her face could not be seen clearly, but her surroundings looked like a school cla.s.sroom. The layout was very similar to the cla.s.sroom they were currently in.

Bai Lin looked at the photos and a guess slowly formed in her mind.

“The clock’s started to move.” Yan Ruo was very close to the clock, and his hearing was good. He heard the ticking of the hand and immediately warned everyone.

They looked up and found that the clock was actually going counterclockwise.

At the same time, an announcement was heard in the building.

“Dear teachers and students, it’s time for cla.s.s dismissal.

“What does it mean? Cla.s.s is over?” It was Li Xuan’s first time partic.i.p.ating in a program like this, so he could not make heads or tails of it.

“Xuan-ge, the blackboard is lit up!” Ye Xing’s seat was directly facing the blackboard, and she immediately saw the blackboard that suddenly began to display images.

Bai Lin turned around and saw that the blackboard had been divided into four parts with a light bulb image at each section.

A few lines of words appeared in the middle of the blackboard. It seemed that they had to solve the riddle.

“The background of this school is a high school, so the break between cla.s.ses should only be ten minutes, which means that we need to solve the questions in ten minutes.” As Bai Lin spoke, she walked up to the podium and began to read the questions carefully.

Yan Ruo also came to the podium and looked at the questions with Bai Lin.

This was a multiple-choice question— [Father’s age is 47 years old, mother’s age is 39 years old, and grandson’s age is 0.6 years old. What is the daughter’s age?]

The four options were 15, 18, 21, and 24.

The question seemed completely illogical, but Bai Lin was confident and pressed 18.

The light bulb on the upper left corner lit up.

Zhou Guang asked in surprise, “Is this some sort of a brain teaser?”

Bai Lin looked at the second question on the blackboard and said, “The girl in the picture is the princ.i.p.al’s daughter. According to the background story, she died the year she graduated. The princ.i.p.al from the photo that you just took and the puzzle looks like he was in his 50s. The father in the question is the princ.i.p.al, so the princ.i.p.al’s daughter must be 18 years old.”

“Mother’s probably the owner of the footprint. It seems that the following questions can point us to the murderer,” Yan Ruo very naturally continued to speak after Bai Lin. During their conversation, they had already solved the second question.

It was a very simple yet very strange math problem..
