At this moment, Principal Qu experienced for the first time what it means to be unable to explain one's innocence, no matter how much one tries. He gritted his teeth, which immediately began to make a creaking sound. This silent venting already conveyed his innocence to everyone; however, the eyes staring at him remained hot. Principal Qu took a deep breath and said, "I really don't have anything related to the Heavenly Dog, truly."
No one made a sound.
"Alright, since you say you don't have it, let's assume you don't." Hong Jiang said, initiating the first question to Qu Hongqiang: "Then, in front of everyone here, answer the first question:
Did you go to the place where Ye Lin perished back then?"
Principal Qu furrowed his brow.
Hong Jiang laughed and said, "Don't say you haven't been there, some lies can get you into trouble."
Principal Qu's face fell and he said, "Yes, I went, so what? That doesn't prove I took the remnants of the Heavenly Dog."
