Chapter 386 The Neighbor

After an hour had passed, a janitor went in with a mop.

However, five minutes after she left, the surveillance system broke down.

“It must be her!” Jack shouted.

His shout shocked the teacher. Have they made so much progress?

Then, James enlarged the still image and said to Vania, “Mommy, the janitor looks unfamiliar to me.”

Vania then turned to the nervous teacher. “Who is she?”

Rubbing her eyes, the teacher pretended to say, “I can’t see her that clearly. The previous janitor had just left the position. So, I’m not too sure who this is either.”

“Haha.” Vania sneered. “It looks like you only focus on teaching the students and educating yourself without caring about the world around you.”

Terrified, the teacher did not dare to look at Vania. Just as she was about to explain, the principal rushed over.

“I’m so sorry, Miss. I have prior engagements and just came back to the school.”

After observing Vania and Hanson from head to toe, she politely stated, “I’ve heard all about the situation. As the person responsible, I truly apologize and promise to cooperate fully in the search for the child.”

Vania snorted, as she did not want to hear these superficial words.

Instead, she pointed at the person on the screen. “Who is that?”

The principal stepped up to explain this. “The old janitor quit. Today was the first day of the replacement janitor’s shift. Is there something wrong?”

“After she went into the surveillance room, the system went down.” James explained patiently again.

Nodding continuously, the principal said to the teacher, “Miss Vino, please call the person over.”

Even though Constance immediately went to the janitor’s room, the person had already cleared out a long time ago.

Returning to the office, she said shockingly, “The janitor has run away.”

Surprised, the principal questioned the teacher, “Didn’t you introduce this person to the job? Can’t you call her?”

At this point, Vania interrupted her, “Principal, what do you mean by this?”

Does the teacher know the janitor?

With a fake smile, the principal replied, “Since the previous janitor quit, Miss Vino introduced one of her neighbors to the job.”

“Did you do a background check on the person?” Vania frowned.

This was because the school stated that no matter the position, everybody who wanted to work in the school needed to go through a background check as a means of keeping the children safe.

“Erm… Due to the lack of manpower, I did not investigate her. I just let her assume the position first.”

The principal was a bit overwhelmed by Vania’s questions.

“So, this is how the principal manages the school,” said Vania in a fierce and sarcastic manner. Then, she looked toward Constance and asked, “Why aren’t you calling the person?”

Running out of options, Constance could only call her in front of them several times to no avail.

Panicking, the principal thought of an idea. “Isn’t she your neighbor? Why don’t we go to her house and search for her?”

Before the teacher could respond, Vania interrupted her. “No need. I don’t think they are just neighbors.”

Surprised by this statement, Constance rebuked, “She really is my neighbor. If you don’t believe it, I can lead you all there.”

“Really?” Vania was full of sarcasm.

“I swear.” The teacher looked like she was taking an oath.

“Take a look at what this is then.” Vania pulled Constance over and pushed her to the computer screen.

It turned out that the trio had already investigated the identity of the janitor.

She was no neighbor to Constance. She was not even from Hammond, as it stated she had arrived just three days ago.
