Chapter 42: Teenager’s Elegy 20: I am the Source of Evil

Chapter 20

Wang Xuze's father has said everything that needs to be said.

Interrogating Tang Wenxuan's father was not a big deal. Lu Changfeng didn't expect him to confess anything. He chose to let Zhou Yu follow him in the hope of tempering Jing Jue's temper.

Jing Jue watched Zhou Yu and Lu Changfeng enter the interrogation room, and walked to the window at the end of the corridor in angrily.

Yue Fanglin followed him, leaned against the wall, and said to Jing Jue, "Jing Jue, you can be emotional during the interrogation in the interrogation room, but you must try to control it. Excessive emotions can easily affect the rhythm of the interrogation."

Jing Jue hummed.

Yue Fanglin: "Changfeng taught you very hard. He would take you with him in everything he did and always consider you. It's not just because you have a past relationship with him, but it's also the inheritance of the predecessors and successors in our industry."

Someone has to take up the banner and move forward.

In this industry, there will be no such thing as teaching apprentices and starving themselves to death. Everyone is willing to bend down, let others step on their shoulders, and stand higher and see farther.

“A good sword can cut iron like mud when it is unsheathed. Good forging alone is not enough. You also need a good whetstone to sharpen the sword.”

Jing Jue took Yue Fanglin's words to heart and said, "Captain Yue, I'll remember this. I will exercise restraint in the future."

Yue Fanglin smiled and said, "If you can do it, Changfeng and I will not make a mistake in choosing you."

As the captain, Jing Jue did something wrong, so it was his duty to teach Jing Jue a lesson.

But Yue Fanglin also understood one thing: talking too much would make people annoying. Some things should just be said, and there was no need to keep preaching.

This is the experience he gained from interacting with children.

Don't attract suspicion.

"Let's go and see Changfeng interrogate Tang Wenxuan's father."

Ever since Lu Changfeng came into being, most of the interrogation matters were handled by Lu Changfeng, so he could be lazy.

In the interrogation room, Mr. Tang, who was sitting opposite Lu Changfeng, was not willing to cooperate with them at all.

No matter what Lu Changfeng asked, he didn't respond.

It was not until Lu Changfeng mentioned that his son and his men raped Jiang Yue that Tang's father reacted.

"Bullshit! Stop throwing all that dirty water on my son. You're bullying my son and saying he can't refute it even if he dies, right?"

Zhou Yu slapped the table and said, "Watch your mouth."

Lu Changfeng didn't react much. "You said this was to throw dirty water on your son. Then tell me, what is the truth?"

Father Tang said nothing and turned his head away from Lu Changfeng and Zhou Yu.

Lu Changfeng said calmly, "Your son was involved in the rape and murder of Jiang Yue. As a parent, you shielded your son from committing a crime and refused to repent. You spoiled your son like killing him, which led to this outcome. Regardless of whether your son was the mastermind, he did it. It is true that you all concealed the truth afterwards, and it is also true that you prevented Wang Xuze's mother from explaining the truth to us."

"It's not my son who did this alone."

Lu Changfeng said: "I know, five people did it together, so they were all killed by the Judge."

"You——" Father Tang was speechless after being retorted by Lu Changfeng.

This left Mr. Tang with nowhere to defend himself, as what Lu Changfeng said was not true.

Lu Changfeng ended the inquiry without much unexpected gain.

If Wang Xuze's father told a lie, according to Tang Wenxuan's father's character, he would definitely fight back, explain the reasons behind the matter, and defend his son.

But he pushed the blame onto other children, which shows that he also knew that it was his son who was in charge.

I only dared to swear a few words.

Lu Changfeng walked out of the interrogation room and met Jing Jue's eyes outside the door.

Lu Changfeng looked away and said calmly to Yue Fanglin, "Judging from the reaction of Tang Wenxuan's father, what Wang Xuze's father said is 90% correct. The five of them really did it. The judge should kill them for this and give Jiang Yue justice."

Jing Jue didn't get much attention from Lu Changfeng, and felt a little disappointed, but it didn't cause any impact.

"How long will it take for Wang Qi and the others to arrive?" Lu Changfeng asked.

Yue Fanglin said, "We have already set out. I think it will be dark by the time we get here."

"Jiang Yue's grave is in the back mountain. We don't have enough manpower right now, so we can't go look for Jiang Yue's body yet. It's getting cold in the mountains after dark, so it looks like we can only look for Jiang Yue's body tomorrow."

Yue Fanglin nodded. "The people outside haven't completely left yet. They just retreated a little further. If we go looking for the body now, we're afraid we'll be blocked. We should wait until more people gather before thinking of a solution. Safety comes first."

Lu Changfeng walked to the window and took a look. Sure enough, he saw that those people were still surrounding the place, not swarming at the door like they did at the beginning. The current situation was indeed unsafe.

"Human nature is greedy." He sighed, "It's a pity for Jiang Yue. She should have had a bright future, but was buried in these thousands of mountains. People who longed to get out of the mountains were left deep in the mountains forever. What was extinguished was not only a life, but also the fire of hope."

"Genius is born in suffering." Yue Fanglin said: "From the moment her father sold her to the Sun family as a plaything, she was already dead."

Zhou Yu felt even sadder when he thought of his daughter and then Jiang Yue. "The darkness of human nature can always surpass my cognition. If my daughter was bullied, as a father, I would fight to get justice for her. But some people push their own flesh and blood into the fire pit for money. For such a family, perhaps death is a relief."

Even though Zhou Yu knew he shouldn't say that, he really couldn't help thinking so.

If Jiang Yue was a boy, Jiang's father would have praised her to great heights.

But she is a girl. No matter how dazzling she is, in the eyes of Jiang's father, her value is to be exchanged for money, whether it is a betrothal gift or something else, as long as she can exchange it for money for him.

There are such people in this world, and they are not a minority.

Lu Changfeng didn't want to continue this heavy topic, so he said, "I think now that we have figured out the whole story, it's time to have a good chat with the former head teacher."

Yue Fanglin nodded in agreement: "From the perspective of time, his resignation seems to have a lot to do with Jiang Yue being raped."

Several people returned to the conference room and called Fang Shengjie.

No one answered the first call, so Lu Changfeng called again.

Just when he was about to hang up, the other party answered the call.

"Is there anything else you want to ask me?" Fang Shengjie's tone was very impatient.

Lu Changfeng said bluntly: "We have found out the bad things that the five deceased had done."

"Then I congratulate you."

"They gang-raped your student Jiang Yue."

"Then they deserve to die. Killing their people can be considered as doing justice for the heaven." Fang Shengjie said viciously.

"But we accidentally learned another thing. When you were still in school, Jiang Yue had been raped. Did you know about this?"

"I don't know." Fang Shengjie denied it without thinking.

Lu Changfeng said: "We have sent people to invite Sun Junwei and his son to the police station for investigation. Teacher Fang, I hope you will not lie to us about this matter. We will be able to find out the truth soon."

"Does the truth still matter?" Fang Shengjie asked them. "What does it matter if the truth comes late? Even if it is found out, it cannot change the fact that Jiang Yue was raped. Do you know what this means to a teenage girl? It means that she will never be able to forget this incident and will be trapped in it forever. She may never be able to have a normal relationship again. Every time she has intimate contact with her boyfriend, she will remember that she was raped by someone else. It will become a nightmare that will accompany her for the rest of her life."

"Jiang Yue has no future." Lu Changfeng said this with sorrow. "Not only did they bully Jiang Yue, they also killed her. She was pregnant when she was killed. She longed to leave the mountains, but was buried forever in the mountains behind. Her life had already stopped. That's why those who hurt her should pay the price. The truth may be late, but we can't indulge those who broke the law and let them go unpunished just because the truth is late."

Fang Shengjie was silent for a long time.

There was crying coming from the other end.

From sobbing to crying loudly.

"I am the one who pushed her into the abyss. I am..."

Fang Shengjie wiped away his tears desperately and said helplessly: "I didn't save anyone. Sun Junwei is a beast in human form, and his son is even more of a beast. But I am the source of the evil. I pushed Jiang Yue into the fire pit."

"Teacher Fang, calm down and tell us slowly. I promise you that Sun Junwei, his son, Jiang Yue's father, and everyone in the town who bullied Jiang Yue or helped to bully her will be punished accordingly."

Fang Shengjie cried for a long time, and his crying was the only sound in the office.

Lu Changfeng and the others cried so hard that their eyes became wet.

After Fang Shengjie calmed down, he told the whole story.

"Jiang Yue is very smart. She is the smartest person I have ever met. I didn't want her to be neglected, so I did my best to teach her everything I know. But her family is terrible. Her father is a jerk who only wants to use her for money. Even though I promised to pay for all the expenses for Jiang Yue to go to high school and college, her father still refused to let her continue her studies. I was really desperate, so I went to find Sun Junwei and told him about Jiang Yue's situation. I also relied on his financial support when I was studying, but I never thought that it was my decision that pushed Jiang Yue into the fire pit."

"Not only did Jiang Yue receive the scholarship set up by Sun Junwei, but Sun Junwei also said that if Jiang Yue could not continue to study, he would withdraw his investment from the mushroom breeding base in the town. This affected the interests of other people in the town, and the people in the town persuaded Jiang Yue to continue to study in school instead of being sold to someone else as a daughter-in-law for 100,000 yuan. But no one expected that when Jiang Yue and other outstanding scholarship winners were awarded, Jiang Yue would be favored by Sun Junwei's son."

"That bastard set up a generous prize money under the pretext of hosting a math Olympiad. The first place winner could receive 100,000 yuan. This money is very important to Jiang Yue. It can be used as her start-up capital to leave her family and venture into the outside world in the future. I know that her level is the best among the students invited to participate, and she must be the first. I encouraged her to participate, and I accompanied her, but I never thought that this was a trap set by Sun Junwei's son specifically for Jiang Yue, just to trick her into joining with evil intentions."

"At that time, Sun Junwei arranged us to stay outside the resort on the pretext of fair competition, while Jiang Yue and other students were arranged to live inside the resort. Jiang Yue's residence was very remote and secluded, and she lived alone. The signal in the village was completely blocked, and electronic devices were not allowed to be brought in. After Jiang Yue and other students checked in, Sun Junwei's son put sleeping pills in Jiang Yue's food, knocked her unconscious, used the universal card to swipe open Jiang Yue's door, and raped her."
