Chapter 60: A basic mistake? A persistent ghost?
"Oh? What's wrong with it?"

Nan Wan looked at Nan Shu with a forced smile.

"While cheese flies do indeed feed on decaying flesh and skin that has turned into a porridge-like substance, don't you think it's a bit too arbitrary to conclude that the deceased died about three months ago based on just this one condition?"

Nan Shu pointed to the textbook with her fingertip, "Determining the time of death requires considering various factors such as the deceased's body temperature, skin condition, surrounding environment, and local temperature changes..."

"Based on the pictures provided by Professor Nan, the mosaic on the deceased's legs appears to be more severe than that on the wounds. This suggests that the infection and tissue decay on the deceased's legs were more serious, which explains why the eggs of the cheese fly were present."

Nan Wan's smile gradually faded. Nan Shu had gotten everything right, even more in detail than her senior brother had explained to her.

"Of course I know these things, but this class is the 'Forensic Insects and Biology Module,' so I focused on the habits of the botfly."

In Nan Wan's opinion, the reason why Nan Shu was able to speak so eloquently was simply because she stumbled upon it by sheer luck, since such basic knowledge could be found in textbooks.

Perhaps Nan Shu just happened to be reviewing it.

"Didn't Professor Nan have any doubts when he saw that the deceased's legs were so much more severely decomposed than the other parts of his body in the original drawing?"

Nan Shu tilted her head, smiled, and asked in return.

"What do you suspect?"

Nan Wan frowned.

"Of course we have doubts. The deceased's rotting legs did not begin after death, but were already in a state of festering before he was alive."

"How can this be?"

Nan Wan subconsciously retorted.

But a second later, his senior brother's words suddenly flashed through his mind.

"The deceased was an elderly person with mobility issues who had been abandoned by their children in a nursing home. The elderly person had a leg injury, but the medication for treatment was expensive. Three months after abandoning the elderly person, their children stopped administering the medication. The elderly person was in unbearable pain and, avoiding the caregivers, tried to push their wheelchair back to find their children. However, while crossing a path, the wheelchair went out of control, and the person fell into a ditch in a field, ultimately dying of thirst..."

"He was discovered a day later, but because his leg wound was severely rotting, it attracted cheese flies."

"The cheese fly, which my junior sister studies biology, you know, has a three-month cycle, which made it difficult to determine the time of death. After various analyses and deductions, we finally determined that the time of death was one day ago."

However, Nanwan was chatting and making a PPT at the time, and when she heard "three months", she subconsciously remembered the time and typed it out unconsciously.

The exact time was indeed, as Nan Shu said, one day, less than twenty-four hours.

Nan Wan's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She actually made such a basic mistake?! And Nan Shu caught her!
Seeing that Nan Wan remained silent, Ji Yan chuckled.

"No way, teacher, you made such an obvious and basic mistake. Can you really substitute for Teacher Wu?"

The classroom fell silent immediately after he said this.

Everyone was looking at Ji Yan.

Most people know that Ji Yan is a top student in biology, a recipient of the national scholarship, and has a quirky personality, but is usually very easy to talk to. So why today...?

Upon hearing this, Nan Wan's eyes immediately reddened, and her fingers clenched into fists.

She... only made a small mistake...

It's all Nan Shu's fault!
If it weren't for her, my little mistake would never have been noticed. Even if it had been noticed, she could have easily covered it up with a simple apology. Why would I be ridiculed and questioned by Ji Yan on the spot?
Don't think she can't see that Ji Yan is speaking up for Nan Shu and deliberately making herself look bad!
"Yeah, sorry!"

Nan Wan began, "I'm sorry, I accidentally filled in the wrong time when I was making the PPT. I apologize to everyone."

Some people felt that Ji Yan's words went too far, after all, she was just a substitute teaching assistant, and judging from Nan Wan's age, she shouldn't be very old.

It's normal for people to make mistakes when they're nervous, so why be so aggressive and embarrass them?
As a result, many people offered words of comfort.

"It's alright, teacher, we understand. Please continue." "Yes, I love your teaching style. It's excellent and very interesting."

"..."

Amidst the words of comfort from the group, Nan Wan finally smiled again, and the matter was put behind her as she continued attending classes.

"laugh."

Ji Yan scoffed, "That's it? What's wrong with being a teacher? Does that mean a teacher can target or misunderstand a student and then not apologize?"

"Old Ji, stop talking."

Ji Yan's roommate tugged at Ji Yan's clothes; after all, they were students.

Ji Yan pouted.

What's wrong with the students? They didn't choose this course to listen to a half-baked teacher. If you don't have Teacher Wu's skills, don't take on this job. If you're not good at your major, go do logistics. Isn't this just wasting so many students' time?

University isn't a place where everyone just coasts through.

Thinking about it, I glanced ahead. The girl had no expression from beginning to end; her expression was indifferent, making it impossible to guess her emotions.

Peng Yuan turned her head and secretly glanced at Nan Shu, then looked away. She glanced at her again and met a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes.

Peng Yuan: ...

"what are you doing?"

Nan Shu looked at her roommate, a junior from elementary school, with a puzzled expression.

"Senior, are you alright?" Peng Yuan asked cautiously.

"fine."

Nan Shu shook her head. It was a simple professional question, and what emotions and motives Nan Wan had mixed in was not within her consideration.

but.

She also agreed with Ji Yan's words: if you're not capable, don't come to teach; you'll mislead students. Although it's just an elective course, it doesn't mean that everyone just wants to get credits.

Peng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Nan Shuzhen was not affected by her emotions.

For some reason, she initially liked Nan Wan quite a bit, thinking that female teachers would definitely be more gentle and patient. But after what just happened, she felt that this Teacher Nan... was inexplicably a bit scheming.

The bell rings.

In the latter half of the course, in order to avoid making the same basic mistakes, Nanwan simply abandoned the PPT content and started reading from the textbook, continuing from the previous lesson.

Many people were drowsy listening to her, but she got through her first teaching session without any major incidents.

Nan Wan glanced at the students who instantly perked up at the sound of the bell, and her face darkened.

It shouldn't be like this.

In her plan, the end of the lesson should have been filled with a lively classroom atmosphere, students chasing after her with questions, and the admiring gazes of her classmates. But now... she glanced at Nan Shu, who was talking to Ji Yan.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. Why was Nan Shu always haunting him?
At this time.

Nan Shu, who was chatting with Ji Yan, suddenly turned her head and met Nan Wan's gaze, which she hadn't had time to look away from.

It also revealed the emotions in her eyes.

Nan Wan's expression froze instantly.
