The tactic of stalling has always been the most appropriate method for relevant institutions when something goes wrong. If an incident blows up online and is either a loss for their side or has potential negative impacts, they invariably resort to stalling.
Even when they could call in the relevant personnel for an investigation and provide an explanation quickly, they delay, waiting until no one cares anymore before handling it hastily.
Clearly, this is the mindset of the leadership at Jiangcheng University. Not only do the advisors strictly prohibit students from spreading information, but some have already begun contacting the person who first discovered the body, the deceased's three roommates, and another key person, Ke Yao.
