"Special Patrol Office???"

Fan Ning thought about various possibilities, but he really didn't expect this answer.

"I knew it a long time ago, and you wouldn't believe it if I told you." Cecil shrugged, and he could easily read Fan Ning's expression.

At this time, Vice President Xu Zi said warmly: "Carolen, I didn't expect it... But the Special Patrol Office's behavior, except for things they think should be confidential, has never been to actively publicize or deliberately evasive, so just look it up and it should be easy to verify.”

After the brief surprise, Fan Ning began to recall the two brief encounters with the Special Patrol Office after traveling through time.

The first time, actually only half a time, was when I was followed after leaving the Turner Art Museum.

The second time, Benjamin investigated himself and successfully passed the test.

Strictly speaking, except for the anxiety about the unknown and the nervousness about his father's identity when he was initially being followed, the Special Patrol Office had not given him any real sense of life threat.

After he officially joined the Guidance School, he rarely took the Special Patrol Office into consideration when considering various events.

He felt that it was enough to abide by the rules of the authorities and not violate taboos.

"If the person who originally sent the audio series fragments was really the Special Inspection Agency, then it is almost equivalent to the fact that the person who investigated the Turner Museum before me and took away the audio series fragments was also the Special Inspection Agency!...This , is it possible?”

Fan Ning had doubts about this, and he was going to follow Vice Dean Xu Ci's suggestion to verify it first.

Next, he and other professors continued to ask Cecil several detailed questions.

Before finally letting him go, Dean Fabian asked Cecil to take the initiative to coordinate and eliminate part-time students, and to lead the team leaders of each department to observe and track the students' mental state.

A few hours later, Nerenia neighborhood.

In a quiet private room of a high-end restaurant, Kashunich's oratorio was playing on the record.

Fan Ning and Luo Yin sat opposite each other.

The waiter drizzled the cod with fresh oyster sauce, sprinkled the caviar toast with chopped onions soaked in lemon juice, and put two small cups of prickly pear and mulberry juice with white smoke on top of the fried foie gras. Silver tray.

Luo Yin forked a thin slice of tuna, dipped it in black vinegar and vanilla sauce, and put it in his mouth: "Speaking of which, are you satisfied with the progress of today's investigation and questioning?"

"If your goal is really 'progress,' then the method should not be 'inquiry.'" Fan Ning replied.

The girl frowned while chewing. Fan Ning emphasized those two words when he spoke, and she could hear the strong dissatisfaction in them.

"Miss Luo Yin, I feel good getting along with you these days. Since you are now the person who maintains communication with me on behalf of the school, I will say some things directly."

"I feel that something is wrong with the school." Fan Ning cut the salt-and-pepper cowboy bones on the porcelain plate. "Let's not talk about efficiency. After all, different organizations have different operating styles. You can't force it. The current situation is that you found out that the company is suspicious. Yeah, I found out there was something wrong with my classmates' part-time jobs, and instead of taking quick action and putting the person in charge of the company under control first, you summoned Ram Cecil for interrogation and then released him? Okay, Judging from the results, the interrogation was not without success, but you also specially selected Dean Fabian, a person related to Professor Lorraine, the person who violated the ban, to interrogate his former students. You tell me, this is all What are you doing?"

Luo Yin first explained the following problem: "Three days before the start of school, Uncle Huxley was too busy. You know, the principal, Mr. Sternikai, has been in a state of rushing back and forth from the Imperial Capital to Uvranser for several months. As for Here at the Conservatory of Music, Dean Gould is touring piano solo concerts in other cities, and the first vice-dean has died and is vacant, so today only Vice-President Xutz has been arranged to be with you."

Fan Ning took a sip of prickly pear mulberry juice and said slowly: "Do you of the Bologna School have any other concerns or secrets? I am not interested in finding out whether the last conversation you had with me had any flaws in its authenticity or integrity. I I don’t mind. I just want to ask Miss Luo Yin, did I understand anything wrong about the benefits of cooperation between the two parties that were previously stated?”

Luo Yin replied seriously and candidly: "No, finding lost documents and maintaining campus stability are both the interests of the school, but your assumptions in the previous sentences are very sharp. In a short period of time, we will not be able to target 'Pleasure' The listening meeting took very drastic action, and you can understand that the school has priorities in ranking the interests.”

"So there is a misalignment of interests? You are making it difficult for me to handle this." Fan Ning held his forehead with his hands.

"Can we change the angle of measurement?" Luo Yin tried to enlighten. "Although the culprit who planned a series of mysterious events cannot be dealt with for the time being, in exchange for the school's support for your final exam, you can realize those dreams at the graduation concert." Is this the key word you want?”

"It doesn't count." Fan Ning stared at the girl, "Do you think that if the person who killed Professor Anton is still hanging around here, I can calmly premiere my "Symphony No. 1" among flowers and applause? Put on your own graduation gown?”

"Miss Luo Yin, you underestimated my determination to quickly investigate and deal with this incident. If that person is in front of me now and I have the ability to kill him, I will shoot him in the head immediately. If I know where he is , I will rush over immediately and then shoot him in the head. If one person cannot kill him, I will ask a few more people to go over and shoot the head together... If this will cause me trouble, then I will solve the trouble slowly later. ”

The girl finally remained silent for a short while.

She had never seen Fanning speak this way before, though his tone remained calm.

"When the time is right, Luo Yin will explain the concerns to you... However, I will coordinate again and quickly give you a faster action plan than the current one within three days."

The waiter presented two small porcelain plates again, uncovered the silver hemisphere on them, and fragrant hot steam rose.

"No need to serve more dishes, Miss Luo Yin, the table is almost full."

Luo Yin said: "I have been planning to have dinner with you for two months, and finally it happened. I want to share with you what I like to eat on weekdays. The last dish, roasted pigeon with apple stuffing, sounds ordinary, but it is actually a must-order item in this restaurant. The ingredients stuffed in the pigeon have a very complex taste, including onions, red apples, carrots, sausages and soft bread crumbs, which are steamed in a pot filled with cider. The spices can be customized. My favorite plan is bay leaves, thyme and parsley, while my father prefers to add some black peppercorns."

Fanning nodded, and then both sides dealt with the food in silence for a while.

"Today doesn't count." Luo Yin suddenly said.

"What doesn't count?" Fanning asked in confusion.

The girl wrinkled her nose slightly: "Mr. Fanning said last time that he didn't want to have a perfunctory chat with Miss Luo Yin sitting opposite him during lunch, and quickly swept the food on the table, and then hurriedly left and said that this was not very gentlemanly."

"...Then it doesn't count. Sorry for today."

"Next time, you will take the initiative."

"Okay." Fanning finally smiled, but the amplitude was very restrained. "Speaking of which, I am very curious. If the intensity of my subsequent personal handling exceeds your expectations, what attitude will the school take towards my "First Symphony" in the final examination?"

Luo Yin thought seriously for ten seconds, and then gave this answer:

"The attitude of the school members has an important impact on the whole school, but the difference is "suggestion" or "no suggestion", not "prohibition". You can think that the artistic value judgment of each associate professor, professor or formal member of the orchestra is relatively independent."

She blinked and smiled: "Of course, Luo Yin himself will always stand firmly on your side."

"I understand, thank you." Fanning stood up.

"So, will you walk me a little before I get in the car?"

"...Okay."

Fanning walked with Luo Yin for two or three minutes and opened the door of the car parked on the main road for her.

It was Vice President Huxley who greeted Fanning while holding the steering wheel.

Fanning waved and then turned around and left without stopping or watching.

The car started, and Huxley asked gently: "Are you happy with your meal today?"

Luo Yin curled her lips: "Just barely happy."

Huxley laughed: "It's not common to put these two words together. Our little princess Luo Yin took the initiative to invite a gentleman to dinner, but it turned out to be just barely happy? If this matter spreads in school, Carolan will be finished."

Luo Yin's cheek turned towards the car window: "Uncle, is there really no more active way to deal with it? In fact, I always feel that this is an opportunity rather than a contradiction. Since Mr. Fanning happens to have such a dual identity, the power of the Guidance School can also be partially involved. We can handle it more proactively."

A moment of silence.

Huxley stared at the windshield: "Luo Yin, to be fair, in the current situation, how many of the 11 members of the Saint Lania University branch do you think you can fully trust?"
