About twenty minutes later, Yang Ping closed the notebook and placed it on the table. He didn't comment on Zhaxi's speculation, but said something unexpected: "Get some sleep early tonight; tomorrow morning, go with me to Nandu University."
Zhaxi was momentarily stunned: "To Nandu University?"
Yang Ping nodded: "To meet someone, Professor Zhou's students—not just Li Xiong. We need to understand Professor Zhou, his character, habits, interpersonal relationships, and what has happened in the last six months." He paused and looked at Zhaxi, "These speculations you've written, they're logically sound. But being logically sound doesn't mean they're factually true; we need more evidence."
