Chapter 91
◎Qianqian is not a bug, she won’t die just like that.◎
"H-How do you know?"
The staff looked at her in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice.
The words that came out of his mouth made everyone's attention focus on him.
The police officer's face was gloomy. He said, "I've looked through the case files related to the Fourth Primary School, and there's no record of this incident."
[Oh shit…]
[Just like Qianqian, contact the family and resolve the matter privately, right?]
[Oh my god, the school is a repeat offender after all this time.]
[I have a bold guess: could Qianqian have been killed by something falling from a high altitude?]
[That should be the case. Otherwise, how would Xiaowei know that a tile was loose?]
[Since this isn't the first time this has happened, will this crappy school still take it seriously?]
How irresponsible!
Finally having a reason to interrogate, several police officers immediately stepped forward and pinned the staff member to the ground.
"Take him back to the police station for interrogation!"
"No! This is just her one-sided statement!"
The police officer said, "Regarding Liu Hongwei's fall from the building, the police will reopen the investigation with the cooperation of his parents. Whether this case is related to the deaths of the workers and Qianqian will be determined after further investigation."
"Before that, the relevant school personnel must cooperate with our investigation and take them away!"
After saying that, the police officer picked up the intercom and said, "Take the principal back with you."
"receive."
"Master Qianyang, do you have anything else to add?" asked the police officer.
Qian Yang said, "Find a way to contact Qianqian and Xiaowei's homeroom teacher at the time, and also find out what was happening at the school during the time of Qianqian's death."
The police officer frowned and said, "If this were an accidental death caused by falling objects, the school would face a certain degree of public pressure and legal constraints, but through corrections and compensation and appeasement to the victim's family, it wouldn't cause irreversible consequences. The school chose to cremate the body early and conceal the incident, which clearly shows that there's more to the story than meets the eye."
"You're right, we need to investigate carefully."
"Yeah." Qian Yang nodded slightly. "The police are about to find out the results of their investigation into Qian Qian and Xiao Wei. Three people have died in this building in quick succession. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Yes, Master Qianyang, please give me some guidance."
Qian Yang looked towards the nearby gymnasium and said, "The gymnasium's exterior walls can be renovated and replaced with a building material that reflects sunlight."
"good."
"The teaching building should not be destroyed and rebuilt easily. You go and prepare some incense and offerings. I will perform a ritual and bury a talisman paper and the offerings underground to prevent such incidents from happening again." Qian Yang said.
"Okay, we'll get ready right away."
"Um."
[No matter what, the school will continue to operate, and the school leadership can be replaced.]
[The teaching building issue has been resolved, and I hope the police will make the truth public soon.]
May the two poor children rest in peace soon, and may the parents of both parties be able to move on soon.
[Unfortunately, even if the truth were revealed, there's no way to reverse what happened. Two children died in vain.]
[Life is unpredictable, but as long as no more children die, it will be a blessing.]
[If Qian Yang had arrived later, Li Qiao would have been the next person to die.]
Qian Yang had previously said that normal people cannot see the souls of the dead. They can only see the souls of the dead when their energy is weak and their life is imminent. Xiao Wei and Li Qiao had not been able to see them before, but suddenly they can. Perhaps it wasn't Qian Qian who caused Xiao Wei's death, but rather that Xiao Wei and Li Qiao were destined to die like Qian Qian, from falling objects, which weakened their energy.
[Holy shit! Now that makes sense!]
Xiaowei knew there was a loose tile on the rooftop because Qianqian was probably trying to warn him and help him avoid it!
【Family, the loop is closed! 】
[Who is the bad guy Qianqian is looking for? ]
[Oh, yes, Li Qiao said Qianqian was looking for a bad guy.]
"That's roughly the situation. The rest needs to be investigated by the police."
"Okay, we will definitely reach a conclusion as soon as possible and give the public an explanation."
After the principal and staff were taken back to the police station for investigation, Qianyang performed a ritual in front of the teaching building, and the local government also arranged for construction workers to immediately renovate the exterior wall of the gymnasium.
After the ceremony, Qian Yang and the police parted ways and went to the small supermarket at Li Qiao's parents' home.
She had promised Li Qiao that she would let the two children meet before sending them away.
"Qianqian! Xiaowei!" Li Qiao called out with a smile.
Mother Li nervously held her child and looked at Qianyang's empty body.
Qianyang shook his head at her, indicating that it was okay.
"Did you catch the bad guys?" Li Qiao broke free from her mother's hand, ran to Qianyang, and took Qianqian's hand. "This sister promised me that she would help you catch the bad guys!"
Not knowing what the other party said, Li Qiao laughed happily, "That's great!"
Then, her expression gradually became depressed, her eyes became redder, and she said, "Then, then I can't play with you guys anymore."
“Woo…”
"Can we meet again later?"
Seeing her crying so sadly, Qianyang reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "We'll meet again if we're destined to."
"Time is running out, I have to go to the hospital." Qian Yang said.
"Okay, okay, Master Qianyang, thank you, thank you!" Li Qiao's parents nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, Qianyang left the supermarket holding one of their hands.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qianyang was worried that the two elderly people could not bear it, so he asked the medical staff about their condition. The two of them had watched the show and were quite emotional, so he did not recommend Qianyang to meet them.
Qianyang thought about it and decided to forget it, as he was worried that the old man would make up his mind and leave with his granddaughter.
So, when I went to visit them, I didn't tell them that Qianqian came with them.
"You two have watched the show and should know that the truth will soon come to light."
Looking at the two people in front of him wiping their tears, Qianyang comforted them.
"Our Qianqian has suffered, she has suffered!" wailed the old lady.
Qian Yang said: "The dead are gone, let her go in peace."
The old man sighed, "That child had such a hard life, having to deal with such parents. We are old now, and we didn't give her a good life. She passed away so hastily."
"Maybe she doesn't think so."
After comforting the two elderly people, Qianyang did not leave immediately, but stayed quietly in the ward for a while.
"Old man, I always feel that Qianqian is here." The old lady said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't let that girl worry about you, just go on your way with peace of mind."
Before leaving, Qianyang told the medical staff not to let them watch the live broadcast anymore and just wait for the police to notify them.
As Qian Yang and the program crew walked into the hospital lobby, the police called and announced the results of their investigation.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, and the group immediately drove to the police station.
When they arrived at the police station, a policeman was waiting for them in the lobby, and the program team also started the live broadcast.
"So fast progress?"
Even though he had expected it, Qianyang was still a little surprised.
The police officer said, "Xiaowei and Qianqian's homeroom teacher contacted the police station."
The situation has fermented too much, and audiences around the world are paying attention to it. Even the most mentally strong people cannot bear the pressure.
On the way to the interrogation room, the police officer briefly explained the situation to her.
Xiaowei and Qianqian have the same homeroom teacher.
When students were promoted from grades one and two to grades three and four, the school divided them into classes based on their final grades from the previous semester. Qianqian died on the first day of school, so she did not leave a deep impression on her classmates, and most students had already forgotten about her.
【Speechless.】
[This class teacher was also able to handle it, and only then did he decide to turn himself in.]
When I walked into the interrogation room, I saw a young man sitting on a chair with his hands handcuffed tightly. He was shaking constantly, not sure if it was out of fear or guilt.
Qian Yang glanced at him and asked, "What was the reason for Xiao Wei's last visit to you before he died?"
The man lowered his eyes, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I really didn't expect him to go alone..."
"I shouldn't have lied. I'm sorry... I'm just an employee. I can't help but cooperate..."
Qianyang frowned. How could this person truly repent? He was just worried about being implicated.
"Stop talking nonsense." Qian Yang said.
"Xiaowei...he told me at the time that the tiles on the rooftop were loose, but, but the door to the rooftop was always locked. How could a child like him know that? I thought he was just being naughty, so, so..."
"Naughty? Your student Qianqian died on the first day of school. Don't you remember how she died?" Qianyang asked sharply.
"That, that was just an accident, it was really just an accident, it has nothing to do with me! I dare not say it, and I can't say it, so I, I can only... can only..."
Seeing him hesitating for a long time and refusing to speak, the police officer said sternly, "Since you've come here on your own initiative, what are you still hiding? Tell us everything that happened between Qianqian and Xiaowei!"
"Master Qianyang, Master Qianyang..." The man looked at Qianyang with tears in his eyes, "Can you help me? I've been suffering these days. I dream about them every day. I can't stand it, I really... I can't stand it..."
Qian Yang said: "Tell me what you know first."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Before the school started that year, the principal applied for funds from the government to renovate the gymnasium and library..."
At that time, the Qingteng government agreed to allocate funds to the Fourth Primary School.
The man told everything he knew in front of the police, Qianyang and all the spectators.
The man's name was Han Rui. At that time, he was just a recent graduate and an intern class teacher.
Before the start of school, the school announced in the teacher group that the library and gymnasium were about to be renovated. It also announced that the exterior wall of the No. 2 teaching building was at risk of falling off and that the school had applied for additional funding from the government.
Generally speaking, the risk of exterior wall collapse must be given a much higher priority than renovating gymnasiums and libraries.
However, after receiving the funding approval letter, the school did not immediately repair the exterior wall of Teaching Building No. 2 because the school ordered a batch of tiles at a price far below the market price, and the manufacturer took a long time to deliver the goods. Therefore, no repairs were made until the start of school. They simply fixed a waterproof sheet on the exterior wall, probably thinking that it would be removed in two days. The sheet was not very sturdy and swayed violently when the wind blew.
However, no one expected that things would happen so coincidentally.
On the first day of school, the students who had been re-divided into classes were not familiar with each other, so the teacher asked them to go to the podium in order to introduce themselves.
Han Rui stood at the door. There was a strong wind outside, so it was cooler.
However, he had a deeper impression of Qianqian than other classmates.
The girl's school uniform was old and had some marks of patching on it. It was probably the uniform she was given when she first entered the first grade. As she grew older, she also grew taller. The old uniform did not fit her well. It looked like children's clothes. Plus, she was quite thin, so she looked particularly weird.
"Hello everyone, my name is Bai Qian..." The girl's face turned red, and she nervously tugged at the corners of her clothes with her hands. It was obvious that she was not used to standing in the center of everyone's attention.
"puff!"
Laughter soon filled the classroom, probably because she looked really funny at that moment.
"What's that? Why are you wearing such a small uniform?"
"Your shoes are broken!"
"Isn't this your school uniform from childhood? Why don't you buy a new one? Why don't your parents buy you a school uniform and shoes?"
…
Han Rui frowned and said, "What are you laughing at? Don't interrupt."
Bai Qian's eyes were red. She lowered her head for a few seconds, and then, as if she had mustered up her courage, she raised her head, smiled, and said, "I don't have a father or a mother anymore. My clothes are just old, not dirty."
The girl really wants to fit in with this group, so she hopes to narrow the distance between them by being frank.
"My shoes are broken, but they're still wearable. I live with my grandparents. They're old and sell vegetables at the market. We grow our own vegetables, so they're fresh and very cheap."
"Where are your parents?"
"It's so pitiful to not have a mom and dad."
"Don't laugh, my mom said that appearance doesn't mean anything!"
"Which vegetable market? My grandma buys vegetables there every day. You can go find your grandparents!"
"My dad owns a shoe store. I can get him a discount on new shoes if you want."
"Hey, you look really funny dressed like this."
The girl was relieved by her classmates' reactions.
Her expression relaxed a little, and she said, "Mom and Dad are not together anymore."
"Grandpa and his family stay at the market until very late every day to sell all the vegetables. I go to help them after school. It would be great if you could help them. They can also go home and rest earlier."
"Then let's go check it out together after school!"
"Next time I can take grandma with me."
…
Most children of this age are relatively simple.
After finishing his self-introduction, Han Rui suddenly received a message from the Director of the Academic Affairs Office.
Bai Qian's family is not well off, and she still owes money for textbooks and tuition for this semester. The director of the Academic Affairs Office asked her to go over, probably to ask her to contact her family and urge them to pay.
Han Rui didn't think too much and let her go.
On the first day of school, the books had not been distributed and classes had not officially started. The students certainly could not sit quietly, so some teachers found something for them to do, such as reciting poems or singing, which was very noisy.
Han Rui let the children sing while he stood on the balcony and chatted with the head teacher of the next class at the classroom door.
At that time, Qianqian's classroom was not in Teaching Building No. 2.
Amid the singing, Han Rui's phone began to vibrate wildly.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office. The tone was very serious, asking him to go to Teaching Building No. 2 immediately.
Han Rui didn't know what was going on. On his way to Teaching Building No. 2, he found that all the doors and windows of the classrooms along the way were closed, and the curtains were drawn tightly.
When we arrived at the place, we saw three or five people gathered around a waterproof sheet. There were a few pieces of broken tiles lying nearby. Something was bulging under the waterproof sheet, and there were some spots of blood and white liquid on the ground.
When Han Rui saw this scene, he immediately reacted, his chest began to churn, and he was about to vomit.
"A student from your class died," said the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Han Rui's legs went limp with fear. "Call, call 120..."
"It's useless. Half of my head is smashed off."
“Call the police…Call the police…”
“You can’t call the police.”
"The funds for repairing the exterior wall arrived last week. If this gets out, we'll all be in trouble. Han Rui, you just graduated from college. If this happens and gets exposed, it will also affect your future."
"Then what should we do?"
"What's the situation at the student's home?"
"Her parents are divorced, and her grandparents are vegetable sellers. They're not well educated. She's been unable to pay the tuition several times before. The school contacted her parents and said they'd no longer care about the child. A compensation payment should put the matter to rest."
"Luckily, no one saw it. The child's family doesn't have many relatives. If he's dead, then he's dead. Take him directly to the funeral home, contact his parents to get a death certificate, and burn him quickly!"
"When will that batch of tiles arrive? We were lucky this time and nothing serious happened, but next time, we might not be sure. We need to make up for it quickly."
"It will arrive tonight."
"That's good. Let's carry the body out and wait for the funeral home."
"Damn it, this isn't the first time something has happened here. Is it bad feng shui?"
"Let's ask a Taoist priest to take a look tomorrow."
A few words from three or five people determined the loss of a life.
These conversations sounded a bit distorted when spoken by Han Rui, and it was hard to imagine the tone of those people at that time.
Oh my god…
[Ahhh, I'm so stupid. The school already knew there was a problem with the tiles?]
Funds were allocated a week ago, but they delayed the renovations by buying cheap tiles, fixed a tarp just in case, and cut corners on the inside. Could the school have paid attention to even one of these steps?
[I’m so pissed off!!! This is totally an unprovoked disaster!!!]
[This could have been avoided countless times. What are you doing? What is the school doing?!]
[These people are so cold-blooded that they don't care about the lives of the poor.]
[It's hard to imagine how these people could say such inhumane things. What do you mean by "die and die"? What do you mean by "lucky"?]
[This is not an accident!!! This is intentional homicide!!!]
【Wow, Qianqian, such a good child.】
[This is so disgusting, they must be severely punished! ]
【Fortunately, there is a witness. 】
[A bunch of murderers, pay me with your life! ]
[They lied brazenly in front of the camera. Do they really think there's nothing we can do about them?]
[The security guard is one of the few people who knows about their crimes besides them.]
[Bring these witnesses here, we can’t let them escape legal punishment! ]
When the tile came loose for the third time, Qianqian must have been worried about hitting someone else, so she told Xiaowei, the only one who could see her.
[Ahhh, how shameless! A serious accident has already happened, and Xiaowei has already told Han Rui about it, but he actually didn't take it seriously!]
Talking about these past events, scenes came to mind. Han Rui was filled with remorse, covering his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face.
"After that, the matter was resolved smoothly. I, I actually put Qianqian's death behind me, thinking that her parents would no longer pursue the matter, so I had no worries..."
"It wasn't until a few months later that Xiaowei came to me and told me that the tiles on the roof were about to fall and might hit someone. I panicked. I thought, I thought he had heard about Qianqian from others. I was scared. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed and I would be arrested, so I drove him away. If, if I..."
Everyone in the interrogation room looked extremely unhappy. One police officer angrily shouted, "You are a teacher!"
"Haven't you studied law? Do you know that if you had called the police, you wouldn't have been held responsible? Do you know that if you had called the police, Xiaowei might not have died? Now you've broken the law!"
"You could have saved someone!"
Han Rui cried out loudly, "I was wrong... I'm scared... I'm scared..."
His cries echoed in the interrogation room, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
What's the point of saying you're wrong now?
What if you lied to him and told him you would find a way?
"How could you just kick him out? You already know it happened once!"
"I don't understand. Even if you're scared, why don't you just give him a perfunctory answer? Say you'll tell the school and have them figure out a way to get him back?"
The teacher didn't believe him and sent him away. He must have been worried that the tile would hit someone else, so he went to the rooftop alone to pick up the tile.
【He is still so young, he is still so young! 】
You are such a beast!
[You are afraid, but wasn't Xiaowei afraid at that time?]
It’s a pity that even if we know the truth, what happened in the past cannot be changed.
"Qianqian is not a bug."
After a period of oppressive silence, Qianyang slowly spoke.
"She said she wasn't a bug, so she didn't die."
Everyone looked at her in shock.
"If Qianqian dies, grandpa and grandma will be very sad." Qianyang said.
Qianyang lowered her eyes and conveyed what she heard to everyone.
"When humans die, hearing is often the last thing to go. Her heart may have stopped beating, but she heard everything you said."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the interrogation room had tears in their eyes.
That child has always faced life positively and bravely.
She could face wearing old clothes and worn-out shoes calmly and tell other classmates about it.
Although she has no parents, she has very good grandparents. It's just that they are old and have to sell vegetables to support her. She told her classmates everything about her family situation. Even though she might be laughed at for it, she felt that she was equal to others.
Her classmates also accepted this and even made an appointment to go to the vegetable market together after school so that her grandparents could sell their things earlier and go home to rest earlier.
An accident that could have been avoided took her life. At the moment of death, the adults kept saying "dead is dead", as if she was just a bug that no one cared about if it was stepped on.
However, this is not the case.
She is not a bug, she is a human being, the granddaughter of her grandparents.
[Ahhh, it's not a bug! Baby, you're not!]
"That's too much! How can someone so casually say that if you die, you die?"
[She is a human being. Even if her animal parents don't want her anymore, she still wants her grandparents.]
[Is a beast who says such things really a human being? ]
[A living life! How can you say such cruel words? ]
Qianqian heard everything. She had already lost her life, yet those adults treated her death like this.
[Qianqian, you are an obedient and sensible child, not a bug. Your life is precious.]
We are all saddened by your death. Those who said those words are not human beings at all. They are demons and insects!
[Wuwuwu Qianqian, don't be sad, you will definitely be happy in your next life.]
[Every time it happens, I am refreshed with my understanding of the viciousness of human nature.]
I'm crying my eyes out! I'm going to buy a plane ticket to the University of Tokyo and kill these demons.
[Bad guys have no borders! Bad guys have no gender! Bad guys have no profession!]
【I hate all bad guys! 】
【Todai police, please don’t let them go! 】
Qianyang raised his hand and ruffled her hair through the void.
"Qianqian is certainly not a bug."
"The police officer will definitely help you punish the bad guys. Go ahead."
【Author’s words】
Thank you for your support, mua [burst into tears]
