"Don't go, chat with me for a bit."

Christina Ramey said.

Dirk Carter looked at the time; it was already eleven at night.

He wanted to refuse, but then thought it would be boring for her to lie naked on the bed alone.

He nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"You think of a topic."

Christina Ramey said.

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment and asked, "Is your relationship with your mom not good? Why doesn't she know about your internship?"

"Can we not talk about my mom?"

Christina Ramey said with an unhappy expression.

"Then let's talk about you, how's work?"

"Can we not talk about work on a day off?"

This topic was also rejected.

If we can't talk about this or that, then what can we talk about?

Suddenly, Dirk Carter perked up and asked, "You mentioned earlier that something happened at the school that led to your break; what happened?"

This topic was clearly more attractive.

Christina Ramey asked, "Have you heard about the fall incident at the House Hotel?"

"I heard some colleagues mention it; apparently, a woman had an affair outside, partied too wildly, and accidentally slipped from the window, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Christina Ramey smiled and said, "Yes, because of that incident."

"How is someone falling during an affair related to the school?"

"Originally, it wasn't related, but the woman who fell, her husband caused trouble at the school, saying that on the day his wife left home, she went to the school to find the principal about their child's fight, and never returned. When he heard news about his wife again, she was already a corpse. So, he thought that his wife's death was related to the school."

After Christina Ramey finished speaking,

she explained Zack Ford's fight in detail again.

Dirk Carter seemed to have picked up some clues.

He asked, "Are you saying that because Zack Ford got into a fight, the school wanted to expel him, so Zack's mom went to the school to plead with the principal, then inexplicably ended up at the House Hotel, and finally fell to her death, is that correct?"

Christina Ramey nodded.

She said, "Zack's dad brought relatives and friends to the school with banners, demanding an explanation from the principal, seriously disrupting the normal order of the school, so the principal had no choice but to declare a holiday."

So it turned out,

this was what had happened.

Although it sounded a bit far-fetched,

to be honest, Dirk Carter, who hadn't heard of such things before, didn't have any "wild thoughts," just thinking it was an absurd accident.

However, what Christina Ramey said next, made him alert.

"I heard from colleagues that this isn't the first time something like this has happened. This time, don't know how it went, but it ended up taking someone's life."

Dirk Carter paused and asked, "Is this true?"

Christina Ramey sneered and said, "Of course it's true, do you think it's fake? You know the room at the House Hotel where the jump happened? I have a few female colleagues who were also coerced into going into that room. They even gave that room a nickname, calling it the 'pound room.'"

Dirk Carter suddenly got "interested."

He said, "Tell me in detail, how were your female colleagues coerced into going inside?"

Christina Ramey thought for a bit and said, "I'm telling you, don't spread this around, otherwise their good names will be ruined, some haven't even married yet, and if outsiders find out, they'll start criticizing them."

"Just tell me."

Dirk Carter said.

Christina Ramey nodded.

She told about the two female colleagues and a parent she knew.

One female colleague was taken into the pound room over a contract issue, she said during that time there were three men, two were the education bureau's director and deputy director, and the other was the principal of the school, Buckley Quill.

That night, she was "tortured" by the three men in turns.

The next day, she received the transfer approval notice.

The other was a homeroom teacher in her thirties from eleventh grade who also made a small mistake and was about to be fired by the school.

She had no choice, was taken into the pound room, and served two men.

After that, no one mentioned it again.

The other was also a parent.

At that time, her child's exam results were not satisfactory, wanting to get into the school, she proactively went to Principal Quill with a bribe, Principal Quill also took her into the pound room.

This woman was fairly unfortunate.

In the pound room, she was ravaged for three whole days, when she came out, her legs couldn't stand straight.

Of course, the payoff was that her son successfully got into the school.

This time, the woman named Myra Walsh, was similar to the previous cases, except no one expected her to fall and die from the pound room.

After hearing Christina Ramey's account,

Dirk Carter was burning with rage.

He hammered his fist on the bed, startling Christina Ramey.

"What's wrong?"

Christina Ramey asked.

Dirk Carter gritted his teeth and said, "If these rumors you heard are true, then these people are no better than beasts."

"They are worse than beasts, especially the director of the education bureau, I heard he's greedy and lustful. Such a person should be fried in hot oil."

Christina Ramey said viciously.

Dirk Carter shuddered.

He said, "It should be the former director of the education bureau, not the current one."

"I don't care which one, anyway, the education bureau directors are all jerks."

Christina Ramey cursed.

Dirk Carter was embarrassed and said, "You can't say that, the new one seems fine to me."

"What do you know? You're just a low-level employee, what do you know? These high and mighty beasts, I draw circles to curse them every day, may their sons be born without buttholes and their daughters with no chests..."

"Alright, alright, stop it."

Dirk Carter quickly interrupted her.

Continuing to let her curse, he might also fear having children in the future.

Despite the awkwardness,

today's unexpected reveal seemed to open a whole new door for Dirk Carter.

Kenton County's education system needed reform, and Yorke Payne and Rand Quance had to be dealt with.

Progress was lacking before,

but if what Christina Ramey said is true, then he had the leverage to topple these two people.

Thinking about this,

Dirk Carter took out his phone and dialed Maeve Winters' number.

The call was quickly answered.

A lazy voice sounded.

"My big busy bee, can't sleep in the middle of the night and thinking of me?"

Dirk Carter asked, "Do you miss me?"

"Of course, I think of you every day. When I really miss you, I take out a toy to play with, but the toy isn't as fun as you."

Maeve Winters' character was always so bold.

Dirk Carter laughed, "If that's the case, I'll come see you one of these days."

"With your lifestyle, constantly in the company of beauties, you still think of me? Cut the act and tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Maeve Winters asked.

Dirk Carter chuckled and said, "There's nothing, just happen to miss you."

"Sweet talk gets too fake when repeated, if you don't want to say it, I'll hang up, I have work tomorrow."

"Alright, alright, I'll say it. Do you know anyone reliable in the Kenton County police system?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Maeve Winters chuckled.

She said, "I knew you'd call in the middle of the night for something. In Kenton County... there's one, my police academy classmate, but she's not a detective, she's in a precinct, her name's Eliza Henderson."

"Which precinct?"

"I think it's at the West End Precinct."

"Alright, I get it, help me do a favor, arrange for her to have dinner with me tomorrow night, I have something to ask of her."

Dirk Carter said.

Maeve Winters paused and said, "I can set up the meeting, but don't say I didn't warn you, my classmate is a real tomboy, with a tough and fierce temper. Expecting her to help you is probably impossible."

"Is she a woman?"

Dirk Carter asked.

"Yes!"

"As long as she's a woman, there's no woman I, Dirk Carter, can't handle under the heavens..."

Dirk Carter confidently said.
