Judging from his appearance alone, he has a refined and gentle demeanor.
But with such a label attached to him, Qingze was certain that this guy was definitely not a good person.
If he remembered correctly, this person, like him, should be a newly hired teacher this year.
The nameplate on the desk clearly reads "Beichuan".
Qingze calmly withdrew his gaze, sat back in his seat, and began to think about how to deal with this guy.
At school, we certainly can't just let him "disappear" like we do with those red-name targets outside.
Let's observe for a while.
He made his decision, and his phone chimed with a clear "ding."
He unlocked his screen and found it was a new message from the philosophy community.
"Teacher, a student from the philosophy club has come to me for help. She was secretly filmed up her skirt the day before yesterday."
Ji and I decided to start our investigation with the teachers who were suspected.
That day, she happened to have helped Mr. Kitagawa, who teaches chemistry to the second grade, move equipment. We suspected that he might have taken photos during that process, so we decided to start our investigation with him.
I hope to get the teacher's assistance!
The sender's profile picture was of the philosopher Hegel, and their online name was "The Great Philosopher".
After reading the message, Qingze glanced at the red name tag not far away and understood.
He is most likely the culprit.
Chapter 84 From the Great Road to the Simple
So, what should we do with this guy?
After a moment's thought, Qingze had already come up with a good idea.
He quickly replied in the group chat: "Come to the faculty office immediately."
Watch my hand gestures. As soon as I pick up the thermos, Yato will rush towards Kitagawa, snatch his phone, and then toss it to you.
You're in charge of checking the phone's photo album. Yato, stay there and hold Kitagawa down; don't let him move.
"Wow, teacher, isn't your plan a bit too simplistic and crude?"
Saori Hoshino was somewhat surprised.
In her imagination, finding the person who took the photos should involve devising a meticulous plan and engaging in a silent, step-by-step intellectual battle with the suspect.
Qingze replied in a irritable tone: "A truly good plan never needs to be too brain-intensive."
Simplicity and directness are often the most effective methods.
This is a principle he has always adhered to.
Those elaborate, probing, and dramatic plot twists of intellectual battles mostly exist only in movies and novels.
To give a simple example, if it were a movie, and someone wanted to steal a national treasure from the Louvre, whether it was the protagonist or the villain, they would have to rack their brains to devise a complicated plan and encounter numerous obstacles.
Ultimately, they either fail or narrowly succeed at the last second.
In reality, it only takes four people dressed as construction workers, driving a lift truck, carrying an angle grinder, and preparing a motorcycle for evacuation to complete the task.
"All right……"
Hoshino Saori didn't insist any further. After replying to the message, she looked up at Yatohime and said, "Let's go to the faculty office as the teacher said."
They began to take action, and Aozawa was not idle either. He quickly informed Tsukishima Chizuru about Kitagawa Taro's alleged involvement in taking secret photos.
"Such a thing actually happened? I'll call him over for questioning right away."
“You don’t need to handle this personally,” Qingze typed quickly. “You just need to consider how to arrange the courses that a chemistry teacher is responsible for after the teacher is gone.”
The rest, I'll handle.
Chizuru Tsukishima replied with a "Received" emoji.
She had never doubted Qingze's abilities.
……
Not long after, Hoshino Saori and Yatohime appeared at the door of the faculty office, immediately attracting the attention of some teachers.
Some of the female teachers' eyes flashed with amazement.
They thought that with Maeda Yuuki and Yatohime, the students' looks had reached the peak of all time, but they never expected that this standard could be refreshed again.
Saori Hoshino's appearance and unique aura are in no way inferior to the previous two, and may even be more in line with the aesthetics of some older teachers.
Her long, ink-black hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, and her every move exuded a dignified elegance reminiscent of a traditional "Yamato Nadeshiko."
This is an instinctive demeanor she developed from receiving strict etiquette training since childhood and attending various high-end occasions.
Aozawa paid no attention to them, his focus was on Hashimoto Aya behind him.
She had a blue tag on her head.
【Country Girl】
Aoze's heart skipped a beat. He immediately opened the teachers' work group on LINE, found the account named "Beichuan," and quickly sent a friend request.
Kitagawa Taro was preparing his lesson when he heard a "ding" sound from his phone.
He subconsciously took out his phone, opened it, and saw that a colleague had requested to add him as a friend in the work group.
"Qingze?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Kitagawa Taro's eyes; he didn't recall having any personal relationship with this person.
But then I thought of the rumors circulating among my colleagues that he had a close relationship with the principal.
He felt it was best not to be careless, so he quickly entered the password to unlock his phone.
This scene was captured by Qingze.
He immediately picked up the thermos on the table.
Upon seeing the signal, Yatohime's gaze instantly locked onto Kitagawa Taro, who was located in the office area on the east side of the faculty and staff quarters.
She pushed off with all her might, and shot forward like an arrow.
"Hey! Don't run around in the faculty and staff room!"
A teacher immediately reprimanded them.
But just as the reprimand fell, Yatohime had already rushed behind Kitagawa Taro like a whirlwind.
At that moment, Kitagawa Taro's finger was about to tap the "Agree" button on the screen.
With lightning speed, Yatohime reached out from behind him with her right hand and snatched the phone from his hand.
Kitagawa Taro was stunned when he suddenly felt his hand go empty.
Without pausing, Yatohime tossed her phone toward Hoshino Saori and shouted, "Saori, catch!"
"it is good!"
Saori Hoshino was already prepared, and she reached out her hands to catch the phone steadily.
It was only then that Kitagawa Taro fully realized what was happening and suddenly tried to stand up from his chair.
However, Yatohime's hands were already pressing heavily on his shoulders like iron clamps, forcibly pushing him back into his seat.
“Teacher,” her voice carried an undeniable air of authority, “you stay right here and don’t move!”
"This is outrageous! What...what are you trying to do?!"
Kitagawa Taro was both shocked and furious, and roared loudly.
The roar made Hashimoto Aya tremble all over, and her face turned even paler.
Hoshino Saori, however, ignored Kitagawa Taro's angry roar.
She quickly turned on her phone screen and first opened the video folder in her photo album.
Apart from the seemingly normal puppy video at the beginning, the rest were densely packed with videos of girls' skirts being secretly filmed from various angles.
She exited the video folder and immediately opened the photo library.
The situation was exactly the same; apart from the first unrelated picture, the rest were all upskirt photos of girls.
Hoshino Saori immediately raised her phone and angrily said, "Kitagawa, you're the one who secretly filmed Hashimoto-senpai's skirt and sent her threatening messages, aren't you!"
Your phone is full of these upskirt photos and videos taken without your consent!
As she spoke, she swiped the screen to show the teachers around her the disgusting evidence.
In that instant, Kitagawa Taro's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
careless...
He originally thought that Aya Hashimoto was introverted and had few friends, and was an easy target to bully. He never expected that this seemingly aloof girl would actually have two "not to be trifled with" friends behind her!
Other teachers who were originally about to reprimand the students for their rude behavior swallowed their words after seeing the irrefutable evidence on the phone screen, and instead looked at Kitagawa Taro with shocked and disdainful eyes.
Qingze stood up and walked forward unhurriedly, saying, "Let me see."
He glanced casually at the contents of his phone screen and said in a deep voice, "It seems we need to call the police."
At this moment, only one thought kept echoing in Kitagawa Taro's mind.
It's over...it's all over...
He even felt a pang of regret, not for his despicable act of secretly taking photos, but for choosing to work at Changteng High School.
If he had gone to another school, perhaps the truth wouldn't have come out.
I only regret that I was blinded by the words "girls' school" and thought it was paradise...
He was still lost in shock and regret when Yatohime ruthlessly lifted him off the chair and dragged him out like a piece of trash.
"What are you still standing there for?! You hypocrite, get out of here!"
Yatohime's eyes were filled with disgust.
Kitagawa Taro's lips trembled as he tried to say something, but he found that he had lost the courage to refute anything. He could only hang his head and stagger toward the door like an empty shell without a soul.
