Chapter 7: Past events buried in school
The more Meng Ping thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have forced the class teacher to take them directly to the abandoned warehouse and not waste time with Tao Shun.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much.
Meng Ping took a few quick steps and carefully tried to check Sun Kai's breath.
Very faint, but fortunately still alive.
Meng Ping breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his son with a red face, and suddenly remembered Shen Yijin’s words: “He has heatstroke, take him to a cool and ventilated place!”
The two of them quickly took Sun Kai to rest under the shade of a tree and tried to find a way to cool the child down.
It was open outside and Sun Kai was able to catch his breath. He gradually regained consciousness.
He half opened his eyes and vaguely saw Sun Yu's face, which startled him sobering up a bit.
"Mom, why are you here?" Sun Kai exclaimed.
Sun Yu glared at him angrily: "If I hadn't come, you would have lost your life here! Your voice is hoarse, you should say less."
As he spoke, Sun Yu handed a bottle cap of water to Sun Kai's mouth, motioning him to drink it in small sips.
Sun Kai was very thirsty and had a headache at the moment. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, Sun Yu would get even angrier, so he didn't dare to say anything.
He drank the water in small sips and secretly glanced at Sun Yu.
When Sun Kai discovered that the person next to Sun Yu was Meng Ping, he almost choked on the water.
Oh my god, why is his dad here too!
Meng Ping saw Sun Kai staring at him and knew that he had recovered.
He didn't give his son a chance to come up with an answer and asked directly, "What happened today? Why did you climb over the wall? And how did you get locked up in the abandoned warehouse? Tell me the truth, don't try to lie to me."
Sun Kai felt aggrieved. Even if he wanted to lie, he couldn't fool his father!
His father is a policeman, he is not that easy to fool.
But he didn't want to skip class. He almost died in the warehouse, and he was still so strict...
The more Sun Kai thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and finally he leaned into Sun Yu's arms and cried.
"I didn't want to climb over the wall, but I had to go. At first they just asked me to climb over the wall to buy them snacks and drinks, but a few days later they asked me to help them with their homework, took away my lunch and scolded me."
"I didn't listen to them, so they ganged up on me and bullied me. This time it was even worse. I helped them buy things, but they didn't let me go back to class and locked me up in an abandoned warehouse..."
After listening to Sun Kai's narration, Meng Ping's face turned pale.
Sun Yu also looked unhappy.
What else do they not understand till now? Their son is being bullied at school.
"No! I have to go find the teacher and ask for an explanation!" The child was so aggrieved that the mother couldn't bear to see him so much and was determined to ask for an explanation for her son.
This is what Meng Ping meant. There are conflicts between students, and the school does not know how to stop it. It must be rectified.
The two men were furious and were about to confront the principal.
Shen Yijin, who was far away in the police station, saw that the situation was not good and quickly spoke out to stop it.
"Captain Meng, don't go yet. The principal has a problem. You can forget about it alone. You have to think about your wife and children."
Meng Ping is an upright person and is recognized as a good captain in the police station, but Shen Yijin thinks he is a bit reckless and is an out-and-out impatient person.
Shen Yijin was afraid that he would act on impulse and go to confront the principal, so she deliberately did not tell him what the principal's problem was and advised him to evacuate with his wife and children first.
Xu Tingyin listened at the side and gave Chen Yijin a thumbs up.
Not to mention that Captain Meng himself felt guilty towards Sun Yu and her son, even if these two people were just ordinary people, Captain Meng could not let them take risks.
This is the duty and mission of the police!
As expected, after hearing what happened next, Meng Ping did not dare to be careless at all.
He held Sun Yu back from going to see the principal, and finally persuaded her to stay. He took the child away from school and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up.
The test results came out quickly and the situation was much better than they thought.
Sun Kai is fine, he will be fine after a while.
The heavy stone in his heart finally fell, and now Meng Ping also had the mind to ask Chen Yijin.
"Principal, what's the problem? Tell me now!"
If the principal did anything illegal, he would lead a team to bring the person to justice and not let him delay the students in the school.
Chen Yijin heard his calm tone and knew that he was very calm now, so she said, "The principal forced a female classmate in that warehouse ten years ago. The female classmate refused and he accidentally killed her. There was evidence in the warehouse that he had not cleaned up back then. He was afraid of being discovered, so he abandoned the warehouse."
"The female student's body was buried under the big poplar tree behind the storehouse. The female student's family came to make trouble, but the principal gave them money to send them away. Of course, this was not the story to the public. Everyone thought the female student had transferred to another school back home."
Meng Ping took a breath, if what Shen Yijin said was true, then this was a big case.
His heart beat faster: "Did you calculate this too?"
Chen Yijin: "Part of it is, and part of it is what I just saw. The principal didn't finish it properly."
The police station’s computer was playing the footage from Meng Ping’s side in real time, and Xu Tingyin even recorded the entire process.
In particular, Xu Tingyin and other police officers watched the scene where Meng Ping entered the abandoned warehouse several times, picking out details frame by frame and finding a lot of evidence.
Meng Ping suddenly realized: "No wonder the head teacher didn't want to take us to the warehouse. She is an insider and knows that there is evidence of the principal's crime in the warehouse!"
Chen Yijin explained for the head teacher: "That's not the case. She has only been in the school for a few years and doesn't know what happened back then. It was the principal who told her not to let you go to the abandoned warehouse."
Meng Ping understood: "The principal is guilty."
Meng Ping didn't know how much evidence Xu Tingyin and others had seen in the video. Now that his son was fine, he wanted to hurry back to the police station and lead a team to the school to search for evidence.
He was afraid that if he delayed too long the evidence would be destroyed by the principal, so he wanted to quickly arrest the person and take him to the police station for interrogation.
Xu Tingyin thought the same. They dug out a lot of details from the video, but the video alone could not convict the principal. They still needed solid evidence.
She came close to Shen Yijin and asked Meng Ping for his opinion: "Captain, please send police now!"
Meng Ping agreed immediately: "Okay!"
Xu Tingyin didn't dare to delay for a moment, and the team drove to the school hurriedly after they were fully armed.
The guard didn't dare to stop the police, so Xu Tingyin and others went straight to the abandoned warehouse and collected a lot of evidence of the principal's crimes.
Just as Shen Yijin said, there was indeed a body buried under the big poplar tree behind the warehouse, but ten years had passed and only the skeleton was left. The forensic doctor took the body back and spent several hours doing identification before confirming that the victim was indeed the female classmate who had "transferred" ten years ago.
The evidence is conclusive, and the police can arrest the principal with justification.
This is good news.
But not only did Xu Tingyin and the other police officers fail to arrest the principal, they also failed to arrest the students who formed a clique to bully Sun Kai, and the class teacher who condoned the students' mistakes.
To be more precise, there was not even a shadow of a person.
"It's too late. Everyone has run away!" Xu Tingyin lowered her head and sighed. If these evil guys are not caught, there will still be victims.
Meng Ping was also very upset. When he was in school, he had the opportunity to bring the principal to justice.
He reviewed the whole process in his mind, and as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Shen Yijin: "Do you know the whereabouts of the principal?"
Xu Tingyin looked at Meng Ping in disbelief, wondering if he was possessed by evil spirits and actually expected Shen Yijin to help catch the criminal.
Shen Yijin has at most a little skill, but can he know everything?
If it's really that mysterious, what do we need the police for?
