Chapter 64 What Are You Hiding?

An hour later, Yu Dazhang walked out of the doctor's office in a daze, holding a stack of various check-up reports.

Hormonal obesity.

This was the diagnosis he had just heard from the doctor.

Endocrine disorders caused by the excessive use of hormones, leading to an imbalance in his system.

Yu Dazhang didn't fully understand the medical terminology, but he grasped the general meaning.

All in all, his heavy layers of fat were caused by the overuse of hormone medications.

Walking out of the hospital, Yu Dazhang's mind was filled with what the doctor had just said.

Among them were two pieces of good news.

First, since he had stopped taking the medication for some time, his endocrine-related issues would soon recover completely.

Second, with this type of obesity, after proper conditioning and careful attention to diet, it was very easy to return to his previous body proportion.

In other words, he gained weight fast, and he would lose it just as fast.

The bad news was: he had spent money, but didn't get a single piece of useful information.

He only learned a new medical term, while everything else remained a mystery.

Why would he use hormones?

When someone is in good health, who on earth would take that kind of stuff for no reason?

Yu Dazhang originally wanted to check his amnesia as well, but the moment the nurse at the reception desk told him to register at the psychiatry department, he instantly dismissed the idea.

Forget it, amnesia isn't something that can be cured just by taking pills.

If others found out he had visited the psychiatric department, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings.

Being this fat and managing to become a criminal police officer was already absurd enough; if he also had a mental illness, that would be even more...

Wait!!

Yu Dazhang suddenly realized something.

Standing by the roadside and watching the passing vehicles, a thought flashed quickly through his mind.

That's right, the fact that he managed to become a criminal police officer was unreasonable in the first place!

Also, he went missing at the end of April last year, before he had even graduated. How was it that after his rebirth, he already had his graduation certificate?

I understand now... A bitter and incredulous smile appeared on Yu Dazhang's face.

It turned out his parents had also been kept in the dark.

Previously, he only thought his mother was hiding something from him, so when he went to the school, he only verified what Zhou Zizhe had said.

Now it seemed...

The real problem lay within the police academy!

During a student's tenure, a student went missing—how could the school ignore such a major incident?

Furthermore, even though he went missing before graduation, the school still issued him a graduation certificate. Was that reasonable?

What Yu Dazhang found truly suspicious was that the police academy actually allowed a three-hundred-pound him to join the police force.

Without even thinking, his parents were ordinary people without that kind of clout.

The only entity capable of pulling that off was the police academy.

If that was the case...

Yu Dazhang's eyes widened further and further.

He suddenly reached out to stop a man walking past him, snatched a half-smoked cigarette from the man's hand, and took a deep drag.

After a bout of coughing, he shoved the cigarette back into the man's hand.

Amidst the man's murderous glare, Yu Dazhang walked away briskly.

"Lunatic," the man cursed behind his back.

Ignoring the curses behind him, Yu Dazhang walked to the curbside and flagged down a taxi.

While there was still time, he needed to rush to the police academy as soon as possible.

Getting into the taxi, he quickly rattled off the address of the police academy.

Looking at the fast-receding street views outside the car window, Yu Dazhang continuously replayed the scene from the other day when he questioned the teachers at the school.

He was now certain that his disappearance was definitely connected to the police academy.

In other words, the police academy bore an unshirkable responsibility for his disappearance; otherwise, they wouldn't have issued his graduation certificate afterward and arranged a job for him.

This felt more like a damage-control measure.

To put it another way... post-incident compensation.

To know the specifics, the teachers were the only breakthrough point.

He had met a total of three teachers that day... Yu Dazhang recalled them one by one.

The moment these three people saw him, they all wore expressions of sheer disbelief.

Yes, sheer disbelief.

At the time, he thought their surprise was due to the drastic change in his physique.

Now it seemed there was another possibility...

They never expected that he would show up again!

Twenty minutes later, Yu Dazhang stood at the gates of the police academy.

Think again, think again...

What if the teachers refused to talk?

Since they didn't say anything last time, they certainly wouldn't bring it up voluntarily this time either.

Ask them directly?

He couldn't open his mouth.

Teacher, could you tell me if my disappearance is related to our school... This thought merely spun around in Yu Dazhang's mind before being dismissed.

Asking a question like that would be pointless; since they were guarding against you, how could they possibly answer such a question?

Besides, asking like that would be equivalent to directly exposing the purpose of his visit.

He couldn't do such a foolish thing.

He needed to find a teacher who was likely to tell him the truth.

Speaking of which, there was only one teacher in the entire police academy who had the best relationship with him: his head instructor, Wei Chuang.

He hadn't seen him during his last visit because, in his haste to gather information, he had randomly questioned the other three teachers.

So this time, he would go directly to find him.

With a target in mind, Yu Dazhang strode into the campus and headed straight for the teaching building.

Having spent three years at the school in his past life, he was quite familiar with the teachers' offices. He quickly arrived at the faculty office where Wei Chuang worked.

After knocking and entering, he scanned the room. Wei Chuang was nowhere to be seen, but a new face occupied his desk.

Yu Dazhang was stunned for a moment.

In his memory, he had never seen this faculty member before.

Could he have been transferred in after his graduation?

"Excuse me, where is Teacher Wei Chuang? I'm his student," Yu Dazhang asked politely.

The faculty member seemed unfamiliar with someone of such a heavy build, first looking Yu Dazhang up and down before replying:

"I've heard of him, but he's not here anymore. I heard he was transferred away last year."

Transferred away?

Impossible. In his past life, he had returned to the police academy multiple times after graduation, and in his memory, Wei Chuang had always taught at the school and never left.

"Why was he transferred?" Yu Dazhang continued to ask.

The faculty member thought for a moment, then looked left and right, his manner suggesting it wasn't convenient to speak freely.

With the end of classes drawing near, the teachers were all in their respective classrooms, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Finally, making sure no one else was around, the faculty member spoke:

"Word is that he committed a very serious offense, and almost lost his police uniform. In the end, the leadership pulled all strings to protect him and transferred him elsewhere."

This left Yu Dazhang completely baffled.

There was no such drama in his past life.

"Do you know what offense he committed?" Yu Dazhang even used honorifics.

The more he looked at this faculty member, the more pleasing he found him; digging for information required finding people who loved gossip.

The moment Wei Chuang was mentioned, he noticed the faculty member's eyes became much brighter than before.

Did people think police officers didn't gossip?

That would be a huge mistake.

Wherever there are people, there is a society, and wherever there is a society, there are bound to be rumors.

This was human nature, independent of one's profession.

"That, I'm not clear about."

A look of disappointment flashed across the faculty member's eyes; it seemed he had tried to dig for answers but came up empty-handed.

Those teachers kept their mouths tightly shut... Yu Dazhang guessed that the school administration had issued a gag order on the faculty.

Warning them not to discuss the matter privately, or else...

Threat-based gag orders worked best on teachers.

The fact that Wei Chuang had been transferred was no longer a secret at the school, and committing an offense was considered normal, as long as the specific details of the wrongdoing weren't leaked.

Just as Yu Dazhang was thinking about finding another teacher to ask, the faculty member spoke up again:

"But I did hear a version of it. They say his offense was on account of a student."
