My name is Le Jing, and I traverse endless worlds, solely in pursuit of freedom, knowledge, and truth.
Republic Era Arc (Completed):
Q: How does a heavy opium addict who gambles, drinks...
"Have you heard that senior high school student Wang Qiang and his girlfriend Liu Fang were arrested by the police?"
Early in the morning, Le Jing just arrived at school and heard this "explosive" news from the excited deskmate in front of him. He retracted his eyes from the textbook, pushed his glasses, and showed an appropriate surprised expression to the excited deskmate in front of him: "Ah, really?"
"Of course it's true. It's spread all over the school." The boy sitting in front of him was a lively and cheerful boy. Because he was very popular, he could get a lot of true and false news. So he lowered his voice mysteriously and whispered to Le Jing: "It is said that it was a robbery at knifepoint."
Le Jing gasped in agreement, his expression even more panicked, muttering in a low voice: "I didn't expect Wang Qiang to do such a nasty thing..."
"What's unexpected about this? Wang Qiang and his girlfriend are in cahoots with each other, neither of them is a good person. Many students in our school have been bullied by them. Didn't Li Jingwen from our class drop out of school because of depression caused by the bullying of Wang Qiang's girlfriend? If his father didn't have the money to settle the matter, this guy would have been in jail a long time ago... By the way, I remember that you were also blackmailed by him before?"
Le Jing pursed his lips nervously and forced a smile: "He...he said he would return it to me."
"Tsk, you're the only one who believes that." The man sitting in front of me curled his lips, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He muttered impatiently, "Your father is a professor at the Public Security University. I don't know how many police officers he has trained. Why are you so afraid of Wang Qiang, a little gangster? If I were you, I would have called the police to arrest Wang Qiang and get rid of this evil for the people!"
"...I just think that since we are all classmates, we should not hurt the harmony." Le Jing said timidly, acting like a coward.
The person at the table in front of him curled his lips and muttered quietly, "Coward."
Le Jing did not argue. He lowered his eyes in silence, but there was a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wouldn’t it be too easy for Wang Qiang if he called the police earlier?
How can school bullying be compared with robbery?
The former is likely to be criticized and educated, but the latter is punishable by a minimum prison sentence of ten years.
That's why he took great pains to cultivate Wang Qiang's appetite...
Le Jing turned a page of the book and laughed quietly.
…
Le Jing's high school is a local key high school. Although his family lives in the city, he still chooses to live on campus and only goes home on weekends. Today is Friday, and it is already 9:30 in the evening after the evening self-study class, and it is completely dark.
When he came out of the school gate, he unexpectedly found Li Jingwen at the school gate.
This was the first time she came to school on her own initiative since she dropped out of school. She lowered her head, her thin shoulders trembling in the endless stream of people.
It is hard to imagine that this timid girl was once the "happy pill" in the class.
Le Jing walked past her without looking at her, but was grabbed by the girl's sleeve.
"Is there something wrong?" He tilted his head and looked at the girl with a smile.
Li Jingwen lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Did you do this?"
"What?" Le Jing tilted his head and smiled nonchalantly, "What did I do?"
Li Jingwen pursed her lips, mustered up the courage to raise her head, her eyes were surprisingly bright, and her voice was trembling: "Did you send Wang Qiang to prison?"
Le Jing turned around in surprise and asked, "What are you talking about? Why do you think so? Wasn't Wang Qiang arrested for armed robbery? What does it have to do with me?"
Li Jingwen stammered, "But, but... you, didn't you promise me that Wang Qiang and the others would be punished..."
At the beginning, she was completely ruined because of school bullying. She was disgusted with the world and dared not go out. She wanted to commit suicide many times. So when Le Jing came to visit her, she was shocked and scared. She hid in the bedroom and trembled, not daring to open the door.
Through the door, Le Jing's voice was dull and distorted, but she still heard the words clearly -
"I promise that those who bully you will be punished."
Li Jingwen didn't take this sentence to heart at that time. It was only today when her parents happily told her the good news that Wang Qiang and her girlfriend were arrested for knife robbery that Le Jing's words that day flashed through her mind.
Although she and Le Jing had a mediocre relationship, she still knew that Le Jing's father was a professor at the Public Security University and had many connections in the police force. Could it be...
Thinking about it this way, it was strange that Le Jing chose to visit her before... After all, they were not familiar with each other...
So three months later, she was the first one to muster up the courage, walk out of the house tremblingly, and go to the school gate to wait for Lejing to finish school.
"I was just comforting you. And those who do evil will eventually perish. Wang Qiang and Liu Fang deserved what they suffered." Le Jing asked with a smile, "You don't think I really did anything, do you? They were arrested for breaking the law. Can I force them to break the law?"
After hearing this, Li Jingwen began to realize how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.
Blushing, she let go of Le Jing's sleeve, bowed timidly, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I misunderstood, don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Le Jing sighed and patted the girl's shoulder, "You don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong." He turned around, ignoring the girl's terrified look, and waved his hand, "Come to school quickly, your classmates miss you very much."
"If you don't study hard now, how can you become a teacher in the future?"
He suddenly thought of the class meeting that day, when the innocent and lively girl talked about her dream with a face full of longing - "I want to go to the mountainous areas to teach and let more golden phoenixes fly out of the mountains!"
The girl with lofty ideals and a bright future had her wings cut off by the dregs of society and struggled in an endless nightmare.
That's why... it's unforgivable.
So they must be punished.
After a few breaths, the weak voice of the girl came from behind: "...I will try my best to cure the disease and won't let you wait too long."
Le Jing waved his hand lazily to indicate that he heard it, then yawned at the bright moon in the sky, wondering casually, what should he do next to pass the time?
…
When Le Jing returned home, the lights in the living room were still on. Mr. Le Zhengye, a famous professor of criminal psychology at a police university and his father, was sitting on the sofa, smoking, and there were more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.
"I'm back." He looked up at Le Jing, his expression gloomy and unrequited: "Sit down, let's talk."
Le Jing sat down on the small sofa farthest from his father, with just the right amount of fear and uneasiness on his face. He straightened his back nervously and lowered his head. His overly long bangs covered his eyes, and he could only stammer and say "hmm" in a low voice.
"Wang Qiang was the leader of the robbery group. He robbed you at knifepoint in a public place like a bus. This is extremely bad behavior. He will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison this time."
Le Jing's shoulders shuddered. He quickly looked up at his father and then lowered his head again, "I, I know."
"Because you are not yet an adult, the police will help you conceal your personal information for my sake, and newspapers and other media will also avoid reporting on you, so you don't have to worry about possible retaliation later."
"Well... I understand." He looked up and gave Le Zhengye a well-behaved smile, his amber eyes showing a cowardice and flattery that made people despise but feel at ease: "I'm sorry to bother you, Dad, for worrying about me. Thank you."
Le Zhengye snorted coldly, looking at Le Jing with sharp eyes, "You didn't do anything about this matter, did you?" It was clearly a question, but he used the tone of a statement.
Le Jing was confused: "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
Le Zhengye's sharp eyes met the boy's doubtful eyes like a knife: "Wang Qiang robbed you with a knife on the bus. Doesn't it sound too coincidental?" This sounded like a funny question. Obviously, Le Jing was the victim who was injured in the robbery, but Le Zhengye interrogated him as a criminal.
Le Jing sighed inwardly, knowing that Le Zhengye was not so easily fooled. Should I say that he is worthy of being a professor of criminal psychology? He has a keen intuition about potential destabilizing elements like him.
Water mist slowly gathered in Le Jing's eyes. He looked at Le Zhengye with hurt expression, then lowered his head again. His shoulders kept shaking, and he asked with a sob, "Dad, how can you say such a thing? Is it my fault that Wang Qiang robbed me? Why do you always doubt me like this?"
Le Jing didn't look up, but he could sense Le Zhengye's cold, evaluating look. He had never underestimated Le Zhengye, so he thought he had done it perfectly this time. Even if the FBI came to investigate, they would only find out that Wang Qiang had committed the crime of stabbing and robbing.
Because this is the truth. Wang Qiang has undoubtedly committed such a crime.
If we talk about what Le Jing did in the middle, it was just to add fuel to the fire.
Le Jing has always kept to himself in school and has nothing to do with Wang Qiang, so in order to prevent Wang Qiang from blackmailing him, he put in a lot of effort.
He knew that because of Li Jingwen's incident, Wang Qiang was now under strict control by his family and his pocket money had been severely reduced. In order to meet the material needs of his girlfriend Liu Fang, Wang Qiang began to blackmail wealthy classmates in the school.
So Le Jing deliberately carried several thousand yuan in New Year's money with him so that Wang Qiang could see it.
So naturally, he became the target of Wang Qiang's blackmail.
Le Jing was happy to see this happen. Not only did he not call the police, he also intentionally or unintentionally condoned such incidents.
Minor extortion between teenagers on campus may not be considered a serious crime like robbery in the eyes of the police.
The most important thing is that Wang Qiang is not yet an adult, so there is a high probability that he will be given a light sentence.
So Le Jing could only wait patiently.
So after succeeding again and again, Wang Qiang's courage and appetite were successfully developed.
It is said that if God wants to destroy a person, he must make him crazy. After Le Jing found the switchblade from Wang Qiang's waist and Wang Qiang's 18th birthday, he knew it was almost time to close the net.
Then, Wang Qiang, who had always been successful in blackmailing Le Jing, was surprised one day to find that Le Jing, the wimp, actually chose to resist and was so stubborn that he refused to "give him" anything. It is easy to imagine how angry Wang Qiang would be as he felt he had lost face in front of his girlfriend.
After failing to get a penny from Le Jing for three consecutive days, Le Jing knew that Wang Qiang's anger had reached its peak. So on Saturday, he went to the Internet cafe where Wang Qiang often hung out. After confirming that Wang Qiang was carrying a switchblade, he deliberately let Wang Qiang see him, and then in order to avoid Wang Qiang's pursuit, he ran onto the bus in a panic.
At this point, if Wang Qiang and his girlfriend Liu Fang had not followed him onto the bus, Le Jing's subsequent plan would not have come true, and Wang Qiang and Liu Fang would not have been convicted of robbery and sentenced to at least ten years in prison.
The moment Wang Qiang and Liu Fang stepped onto the bus, Le Jing had already seen the ending. He did not feel any sense of accomplishment, on the contrary, he was so bored that he even wanted to yawn.
It's so easy.
Wang Qiang and Liu Fang are two social dregs, stupid, shallow, violent, greedy, short-sighted, and reckless. Their behavior patterns are too easy to see through, so they are particularly uninteresting.
Article 263 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever robs public or private property by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.
Le Jing will not be satisfied with a short three-year sentence.
So he deliberately chose the bus as the location for the robbery.
Because Article 263 of the Criminal Law has the second half - Anyone who commits any of the following acts shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment or death penalty, and shall also be fined or have his property confiscated:
(1) Breaking into a house to commit robbery;
(2) Robbery on public transportation;
…
(8) robbing military supplies or emergency, disaster relief or relief supplies.
Bus is a typical means of public transportation.
Just as he expected, on the bus, adult high school student Wang Qiang and his girlfriend Liu Fang robbed 16-year-old minor Le Jing at knifepoint, leaving a scratch on Le Jing's arm.
A gang committed knife-point robbery on a bus. The victim was a minor. The circumstances were serious and had a bad impact. There are witnesses and evidence.
When Wang Qiang first blackmailed him, Le Jing once asked Wang Qiang: "Do you know that this is illegal?"
Wang Qiang sneered and said with a smile: "I only took a few hundred dollars from you. Can the police still arrest me?"
No, classmate Wang Qiang, this is against the law.
Because the establishment of robbery is not based on the amount of robbery, but on whether the suspect violated the personal and property rights of the victim during the robbery. As long as the suspect hurts someone and gets money (even if Le Jing only has a minor skin injury, even if he was only robbed of one dollar), then the robbery will be established.
Next, the question is how many years the suspect will be sentenced to.
From the beginning to the end, Le Jing did not do anything. He used an open and aboveboard strategy, and he did not deliberately plot against Wang Qiang.
It's just that character determines destiny.
Le Jing thinks he is a perfect victim and he has no bad record in the past, so even Le Zhengye cannot see anything from it.
So when facing Le Zhengye's suspicion, he was extremely frank and met his father's suspicious eyes impartially, acting as if he had a clear conscience.
Le Zhengye was silent, and Le Jing could almost hear the sound of his brain working rapidly. Finally, he rubbed his forehead tiredly and smiled bitterly: "...I know, you can go back to your room."
Le Jing sneered in his heart, but he rushed to the bedroom with his schoolbag on his back with anger on his face. Behind him, Le Zhengye's calm voice sounded from behind him: "Your mother was admitted to the mental hospital for treatment today."
What?
Le Jing was really stunned. He turned around in surprise and asked, "What did you say?"
Le Zhengye's expression showed no emotion, and he answered smoothly: "The hospital has diagnosed your mother as an antisocial personality, born with a lack of emotions, and an abnormal obsession with blood. She is a potential criminal. So she must be admitted to the hospital for treatment."
Le Jing looked stunned, as if he had not yet recovered from these words that contained so much information, while Le Zhengye continued to speak: "I will take you to the hospital for a psychological test tomorrow."
Le Jing's heart trembled.
He finally understood why Le Zhengye was abnormally suspicious of him today.
There is a certain probability that the pathological phenomenon of antisocial personality will be inherited.
There is also the theory of "born criminals" in the biological community. Scientists who hold this view believe that some people are born with criminal genes. These people are born criminals and cannot be educated.
Le Jing knew what test Le Zhengye was going to take him for.
He had already taken that test when he was twelve years old.
It's too late, Dad.
Now I can pass the test perfectly.
I would never be as stupid as my mother to be caught by you.
Le Jing laughed in his heart and exclaimed in disbelief: "You are talking nonsense! Mom didn't do anything! You have no right to lock her up!"
“Shut up!” Le Zhengye finally took off his calm mask, his face twisted into a beastly one because of anger: “I shouldn’t have married her! I let her evil genes taint the bloodline of my Le family! If you speak for her again, I will lock you up in a mental hospital too!”
So Le Jing slammed the bedroom door in anger and walked around in the bedroom angrily. He thought for a few seconds whether to smash something to express his anger, but when he thought that such "violent" behavior might strengthen Le Zhengye's vigilance and control over him, he had to give up this plan regretfully.
Oh, really.
Since the mother had tried to kill her son, why didn't she kill Le Zhengye? If she had killed Le Zhengye at that time, or simply divorced him, she wouldn't have to be locked up in a mental hospital now.
Love is something that is really incomprehensible.
If he had known that his mother's abnormality had been exposed, he would not have personally lured Wang Qiang into the trap. He would have used a more subtle and tactful method to get other victims to call the police.
Although he is confident that he can handle tomorrow's test, Le Zhengye will definitely be more wary of him because of his mother's matter, and his life will become less and less free in the future.
never mind.
Anyway, he is a law-abiding citizen. At most, he occasionally uses the law to achieve his own goals, but this is not illegal. Le Zhengye has no right to lock him up.
Le Jing yawned, crawled into bed, and then had a long and incredibly wonderful dream.
The author has something to say:
Because I set the protagonist's father as a policeman before, it was locked because of smearing the image of public officials. In order to unlock it, I changed the protagonist's father's identity to a university professor_(:з」∠)_
So far, Le Jing in this novel is no longer the same person as Le Jing in "The Little Bookstore in the Plane". You can think of them as parallel worlds.
Readers who have not read "Bookstore" will not be affected in reading.
Because the Le Jing in this world is still a high school student, his personality is more youthful and energetic than the Le Jing in "Bookstore", and to some extent, more childish.
Although he has an antisocial personality, Le Jing is not a perverted character who kills people without mercy. He has his own bottom line and principles in his heart, so new readers can rest assured.
