Chapter 70 Survey
"Okay, I understand." Chi Jinjin held her hand and said earnestly, "Xiao Zheng, I will definitely help you, so don't do stupid things like today again. Life doesn't belong to others or your parents, but to you. We must cherish it, understand?"
Xiao Zheng nodded.
Later, Chi Jinjin brought some medicine for Xiao Zheng to rub.
After she finished wiping, she found that Xiao Zheng had fallen asleep leaning against the sofa with tears in the corners of his eyes.
When Xiao Zheng complained that her parents didn't care about her, she still didn't believe it.
What parent would ignore their own child?
But through the phone call just now, Chi Jinjin realized that it was because her parents were too nice that she felt that all parents in the world were like this.
But now she understands that some parents cannot be called parents.
Chi Jinjin felt sorry for the little girl in front of her. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she looked like a rose thrown into the garbage dump.
She couldn't bear to wake her up, so she bent down and tried to pick her up, but she was too weak to do so.
Nan Xuqiu saw this and said softly, "Let me do it."
He picked up Xiao Zheng from the sofa for Chi Jinjin, and Chi Jinjin ran to open the bedroom door and lifted the quilt.
Nan Xuqiu put Xiao Zheng on the bed and Chi Jinjin covered her with a quilt.
They quietly left the bedroom, closed the door, and let her rest.
Chi Jinjin walked to the balcony and sighed heavily.
"What's wrong?" Nan Xuqiu walked over and asked.
Chi Jinjin said, "I promised Xiao Zheng that I would help her, but I can't think of a way to help her right now. I've already told my teacher to trust Xiao Zheng a little, but she doesn't believe me..."
"Since you don't believe it, let's throw the evidence in front of her," Nan Xuqiu suggested.
"That's good." Chi Jinjin suddenly realized, but then worriedly said, "Where would I get the evidence? I'm not an eyewitness..."
"You." Nan Xuqiu pinched Chi Jinjin's face lovingly but helplessly, and said, "You forgot again what your boyfriend does. I'm studying criminal investigation."
"Oh, that's right." Chi Jinjin's eyes suddenly sparkled with stars.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said, "How long will her court session last?"
"Next Friday." Chi Jinjin replied.
Nan Xuqiu thought for a moment and said, "That should be enough. Leave the evidence collection to me. I'll try to give you an answer before Friday."
"Well, thank you, Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin said gratefully.
Nan Xuqiu took a step closer to her, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Then... kiss me, okay?"
"This, is not good..." Chi Jinjin blushed immediately.
Nan Xuqiu said helplessly, "Well, alas, I can't even get a kiss."
He looked down at the time and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back to school. You should also go to bed early. I'm leaving first."
"Yeah." Chi Jinjin nodded.
Nan Xuqiu left Chi Jinjin's home.
"Nan Xuqiu!"
As I walked downstairs, I suddenly heard Chi Jinjin's voice behind me.
Nan Xuqiu turned around and saw a figure suddenly enter his sight.
Chi Jinjin grabbed his arm, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed him on the face.
Nan Xuqiu was stunned and looked at her.
Chi Jinjin was too embarrassed to raise her head. Her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head and said, "You...you go home and be careful."
After saying that, she hurried upstairs again.
Nan Xuqiu raised his hand, gently stroked the place where she had kissed with his fingertips, and smiled silently with joy in his heart.
A day later, Nan Xuqiu came to find Chi Jinjin, and the two made an appointment to meet in a coffee shop.
After arriving at the coffee shop, Nan Xuqiu ordered two cups of coffee.
Chi Jinjin asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Nan Xuqiu said slowly, "I think I need to go see the other person involved. Do you want to come with me?"
Chi Jinjin nodded.
So after drinking coffee, the two went to the hospital where Tao Xi was.
Before getting off the car, Nan Xuqiu gave Chi Jinjin a tag for her to hang up, and then he hung one for himself, and also held a black notebook and pen in his hand.
Chi Jinjin looked at the tag. There was nothing written on it, just an ID photo, and it wasn't her.
"Nan Xuqiu, you are not going to pretend to be a policeman, are you..." Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu said, "I'm not pretending, but if others misunderstand, it's not our fault, right?"
"Ah?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and said, "Let's go. We'll go in later. You don't have to worry about anything and don't have to say anything. Don't worry, I won't do anything illegal. After all, Lawyer Chi is here, I wouldn't dare to do anything."
Chi Jinjin discovered that Nan Xuqiu's mouth was getting more and more talkative.
The two walked into the hospital and came to Tao Xi's ward.
Only Tao Xi and her mother were in the room.
"Hello, we have some matters that we need to ask Tao Xi alone. Please step aside for a moment." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin didn't expect Nan Xuqiu to be so direct. The probability of being rejected is very high.
She felt very guilty.
But unexpectedly, Tao Xi's mother actually went out without asking Chi Jinjin and the others about their identities. Before leaving, she glanced at Tao Xi with worry in her eyes.
Nan Xuqiu pulled over a nearby chair and sat down beside Tao Xi's bed. He smiled faintly and said, "Teacher Tao Xi, don't be nervous. We just want to ask about the situation. Please describe it to me in full again. I need to make a record."
He opened the notebook in his hand and pressed the ballpoint pen. He looked and acted like a policeman, and a policeman with several years of work experience.
Tao Xi nodded and said slowly, "At that time, I was not feeling well, so I asked the teacher for leave and rested in the classroom. The classroom was too stuffy, so I went to open the window to get some fresh air. After I opened the window, I sat on the windowsill. Soon, Zheng Yan walked in and started scolding me. I was so angry that I said a few words to her, and then we started arguing. She got closer and closer, and our argument became more and more fierce. Suddenly, she pushed me down, saying things like, 'Go to hell', and I don't know what happened after that..."
"She pushed you. Where did she push you? Can you point it out to me?" Nan Xuqiu stopped writing and looked up to ask.
Tao Xi raised his hand and pointed at his shoulders.
"You mean, she pushed your shoulder? Did she push with one hand or with both hands?" Nan Xuqiu continued to question.
Tao Xi replied, "Both hands."
"So, were you sitting on either side of the windowsill, or in the middle?"
"middle."
"You just said that she scolded you. Why did she scold you?"
Tao Xi lowered his eyes, clenched the quilt in his hands, and said through gritted teeth, "She is like this. She often bullies me at school and scolds me without explanation. It is her daily routine."
Nan Xuqiu's tone suddenly became stern. "Student Tao Xi, let me remind you that everything you just said must be true. There can't be a single lie. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
"Everything I said is true, there is not a single lie." Tao Xi said firmly.
Nan Xuqiu asked again, "Are you sure your answer just now is true, without changing a single word?"
"No change." Tao Xi replied without hesitation.
"Okay, I've finished asking questions. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good rest." Nan Xuqiu stood up and took Chi Jinjin out of the ward.
After leaving the hospital, Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "This girl named Tao Xi, although young, has a good mental quality."
"What she said is completely different from what Zheng Yan said, so what should we do next?" Chi Jinjin was worried.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Let's go to the scene and investigate again."
"You mean, going to school?"
Nan Xuqiu nodded.
"But, at this time, the school should not allow outsiders to enter..." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu said, "I'm well prepared, come with me."
Chi Jinjin followed him to a clothing store, and Nan Xuqiu brought over two school uniforms.
"You mean, let us pretend to be students? Is this possible?" Chi Jinjin was worried.
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "Just give it a try and you'll know."
"Okay..." Chi Jinjin thought, it's right to just listen to Nan Xuqiu.
The two went into the locker room and changed into their school uniforms.
Nan Xuqiu changed before Chi Jinjin and waited for her outside.
After Chi Jinjin changed, she walked out and saw Nan Xuqiu standing at the door from afar.
The sun shone on his profile, and the breeze blew the strands of hair on his forehead.
For a moment, Chi Jinjin felt as if she was in a dream, as if she had returned to five years ago when they were still high school students.
He is still that clean boy, the sun and moon in her heart.
Nan Xuqiu turned around and looked at the dazed Chi Jinjin. At that moment, he felt as if he was in another world and saw the former Chi Jinjin.
The Chi Jinjin who was always dazed in front of him is still the same dazed Chi Jinjin now.
It's just that he hasn't seen it for a long time.
Five years, it turns out it’s been a long time…
When Chi Jinjin came to her senses, Nan Xuqiu was already walking towards her, with the same gentle smile as in her memory, but the difference was that there was more love in his eyes.
Nan Xuqiu looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Let's go, Xiaochi."
Chi Jinjin's heart trembled suddenly when he said "Junior Chi".
He took her hand and walked out.
Chi Jinjin really felt like she was back to that time, except that he had never held her hand like this at that time.
The two came to Xiao Zheng's school. Taking advantage of the large crowd at the school gate at noon, Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu successfully slipped in.
Later, Chi Jinjin found out that Nan Xuqiu had observed here before and found that the security at the school gate was not strict.
After entering the school, Nan Xuqiu suggested that they split into two groups. Chi Jinjin would verify the relationship between Tao Xi and Zheng Yan to see if there were any conflicts or contradictions between them, while Nan Xuqiu would go to the original site for investigation.
Chi Jinjin was walking on campus and heard some girls gossiping about Tao Xi, so she went over with some snacks and quickly blended in with them.
"Are Tao Xi and Zheng Yan not on good terms?" Chi Jinjin asked.
One girl said, "Of course it's not good. Zheng Yan bullies Tao Xi so much every day, it's strange that they have a good relationship."
"Then why did Zheng Yan bully Tao Xi?" Chi Jinjin continued to ask.
Another girl replied, "I'm jealous. Zheng Yan and Tao Xi's families are neighbors, but they are so different. Tao Xi is both good in character and academics, and she's prettier than Zheng Yan. I often hear Zheng Yan's mother compare her to Tao Xi."
"I also heard that Zheng Yan really liked a boy in her third year of high school, and they were almost together, but after that boy saw Tao Xi, he immediately fell in love with someone else."
Chi Jinjin listened quietly to all kinds of gossip around her. Although she didn't know which ones were true and which ones were false, they generally proved that Zheng Yan often bullied Tao Xi, and this was true, and Tao Xi did not lie.
On the other side, Nan Xuqiu came to the crime scene. Fortunately, the crime scene was still preserved and there were dried bloodstains on the ground.
There was a marking where Tao Xi fell, and he looked up at the floor where she fell.
Then he came to the falling window and looked down to see where she landed.
He looked at the entire window again. It was an ordinary iron window.
Nan Xuqiu looked carefully at the window sill, which was covered with dust. His gaze finally fell on the angle between the window sill and the window, as well as the rust at the bottom of the window.
He took out his cell phone and took a picture.
Afterwards, Nan Xuqiu left the classroom and found out through inquiries that because the window was in the corner and was covered with curtains all year round, no one cared whether it was open or closed.
The most difficult part of this case is that there is no surveillance in the classroom. The only camera outside the classroom broke down a month ago and there was no time to replace it.
Nan Xuqiu walked back to the bottom of the building where the crime occurred again, looked around and observed every place.
He walked to a nearby surveillance camera, but unfortunately the crime scene was a blind spot of the surveillance camera.
But Nan Xuqiu was suddenly attracted by a light in the distance...
"Hey, I just found a handsome guy!"
Chi Jinjin was listening to Xiao Zheng and Tao Xi's gossip when several girls came running over excitedly. They quietly took out their phones, pointed at the photo on it, and asked, "Does anyone know this person? What grade is he in? Which class is he in?"
The other girls looked at him and became excited, saying, "He's from our school! How come we've never heard of him before? He's such a handsome guy in our school!"
Chi Jinjin glanced at their phones and realized that they were actually discussing Nan Xuqiu.
In the photo, he has one hand in his trouser pocket, with his head tilted up, seemingly looking at something intently. Although the pixels are a bit blurry, it still can't hide his good looks.
Chi Jinjin looked at them and thought that it would be impossible to ask about Tao Xi and the others here, as the topic here had become Nan Xuqiu.
She stood up and left the group.
Chi Jinjin came to a pavilion and was about to send a message to Nan Xuqiu to ask about the situation over there.
But before he could say anything, Nan Xuqiu's voice came from behind him.
Chi Jinjin turned around and looked. He was standing in the sunlight, smiling at her with his head tilted. His smile intoxicated the galaxy, knocked over the candlelight, and ignited her eyes filled with twilight.
"Little Junior, why are you here alone? Are you waiting for someone?"
Nan Xuqiu walked towards her slowly, asking with a smile as he walked.
He came in front of her, bent down and leaned close to her, and said softly, "I guess you are waiting for your boyfriend?"
