Chapter 77 Murder
◎Teacher Jia, have you ever killed anyone?◎
Zhao Xiangwan grabbed the woman who had completely lost her temper and cried: "Lu Zhiying?"
Lu Zhiying was on the verge of collapse, and was supported only by her worry about Shi Qi Yan. Someone grabbed her arm, and she staggered towards Zhao Xiangwan and almost fell.
Zhao Xiangwan stretched out his right hand and quickly supported Lu Zhiying's back: "Don't panic, Qiyan is not dead yet."
Lu Zhiying nodded in panic: "Yes, yes, she is not dead yet, I will go and persuade her."
A girl in a flowery dress rushed out from the lobby: "Is Mother Lu here? Shi Qiyan said she wants to see her."
Lu Zhiying tried to straighten her back, waved her hands desperately, and responded hoarsely: "I'm coming, I'm coming."
The girl was wearing a pair of slippers, which made a clacking sound as she ran. "Hurry, hurry, Mama Lu, go up and talk to Shi Qiyan. She said she has something to ask you. Please persuade her not to jump off the building."
With Zhao Xiangwan's help, Lu Zhiying ran as fast as she could, crying as she ran: "I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon, tell Qi Yan to wait, Mommy is here!"
Zhao Xiangwan followed Lu Zhiying, running to her rhythm, and spoke as he went upstairs, his voice calm and serious: "I'm a policeman. I was clearing up old cases recently and found something fishy about Mr. Shi Tong's suicide twelve years ago. I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to see Shi Qiyan jumping off a building."
Lu Zhiying's head was buzzing and she couldn't think at all. After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, she repeated subconsciously: "Is there a problem with Mr. Shi's suicide?"
Zhao Xiangwan tried to fill her head with false information: "Yes, when we were investigating a corruption case, we found a diary of Mr. Shi Tong, which contained a lot of corruption secrets about the leaders of the design institute, and mentioned that he was recently targeted and his life might be in danger."
Lu Zhiying was a simple-minded person. She was completely confused after receiving two shocking pieces of news at once. On one hand, there was Shi Qiyan who was about to jump off the building, and on the other hand, there was the policewoman whispering in her ear. She even forgot to cry and could only mechanically climb up the stairs while trying to digest Zhao Xiangwan's words.
[Who was it? Who killed Mr. Shi? Dean Liu's wife always looked disdainful when she saw me. Was it him? No, Secretary Jiang used to come to my house to have tea with Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi disappeared a week before he jumped off the building. Could it be him? I don't know! I don't know anything! Ah, my Qi Yan, don't learn from your father. Tell me what's wrong. Even if I don't understand your profession, at least I still have a life. I will fight anyone who bullies you! ]
Zhao Xiangwan did not continue talking. She had made up this information in order to verify it with what Gu Zhiguang had made up.
Shi Qiyan was planning to jump off a building, which means she had been thinking about death for a long time. The most terrible thing about depression patients is "indifference" - losing interest in everything in life, losing curiosity about everything, and feeling that life is meaningless.
The reason why Gu Zhiguang told Shi Qiyan that Shi Tong was killed by him rather than committing suicide was to draw out Shi Qiyan's inner "concern". From Shi Qiyan's growth experience, her father Shi Tong had a huge influence on her, otherwise she would not have chosen the same career as her father and pursued it so persistently.
For a person who is determined to die, the only way to dispel her suicidal thoughts is to magnify her inner concerns.
Zhao Xiangwan arrived at the 3rd floor of the south building of Hunan University from the Municipal Bureau. More than ten minutes later, Shi Qiyan still did not jump down, which showed that what Gu Zhiguang said had worked.
Why didn't Shi Qiyan return it? Zhao Xiangwan analyzed that it was probably because she didn't fully trust Gu Zhiguang's words. She wanted to wait until her mother came and asked clearly before deciding whether to jump or not.
As proud as she was, she stood on the top floor of the Architecture Academy building, enduring the gazes of countless people, and jumped down into the sunlight. Her determination to die was strong and persistent, and she would never allow others to deceive her.
What Zhao Xiangwan has to do now is to lay a good foundation in Lu Zhiying's mind in advance. Lu Zhiying is an honest person and does not know how to lie. If you tell her: Let's lie together to trick Shi Qiyan back, she will definitely agree to it, but once she meets Shi Qiyan's eyes on the top floor, she will be exposed immediately.
Therefore, Zhao Xiangwan had to deceive Lu Zhiying first and make her believe one thing: her husband Shi Tong was pushed off the building and pretended to commit suicide because he discovered the corruption of the design institute's leaders.
Sure enough, after hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, Lu Zhiying climbed the stairs faster. Her legs, which had just been sore from the shock of her daughter jumping off the building, seemed to be infused with strength. She had only one thought in her mind at the moment:
——I want to tell Qi Yan, I want to tell her that her father was murdered! She can't die, she has to redress her father's injustice!
There is an idiom: Suspect someone of stealing an axe. When a person is convinced of something, he will think about it with prejudice, and things that were considered normal before will become strange.
[Qi Yan, mom doesn't know anything, this matter depends on you. Your father died unjustly, he was killed by someone. He had a diary, which recorded the corruption of Dean Liu and Secretary Jiang, and ended up being killed by them. The police comrades are investigating this matter, we have to cooperate with them and work hard to find the real culprit! ]
Zhao Xiangwan added fuel to the fire after hearing this: "Gu Zhiguang is our police spy, responsible for finding evidence on the university campus. You went to find him the day before yesterday to find the real culprit, right?"
Lu Zhiying's mind was a mess. Whatever Zhao Xiangwan stuffed into her mind, that was it. Besides, she did go to find Gu Zhiguang the day before yesterday, so she nodded subconsciously: "Yes, go find Gu Zhiguang and find the real culprit."
Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu followed closely and were impressed by the conversation between Zhao Xiangwan and Lu Zhiying: she really knew how to brainwash people. In just two minutes, even Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu almost believed that Shi Tong was murdered instead of committing suicide.
Pushing open the small door leading to the top floor, a huge wave of heat hit me in the face.
It was such hot weather, late in the afternoon, the concrete roof on the top of the building was scorching hot, the air seemed to be distorted, and the edges of the scenery became blurred.
Led by the girl in the flowery dress, several people ran towards the northwest corner.
Three security guards stood by the parapet, not daring to get too close.
Gu Zhiguang's face was covered in sweat and his face was red from the sun. He shouted earnestly in the direction of Shi Qiyan: "Sister, you have to believe me, what I said is true. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to consider Mr. Shi Tong, right? Mr. Shi Tong was my idol when I was young. I saw the book he wrote..."
Blah blah blah…blah blah…
Thanks to Gu Zhiguang's good eloquence and his ability to chat with anyone, and the fact that he had done some research on Shi Qiyan's personal situation yesterday, we talked for more than ten or twenty minutes without a dull moment.
At least, Shi Qiyan didn't jump, right?
The girl in the flowery skirt is named Shao Yifan, and she is Shi Qiyan’s roommate. She stayed in school during the summer vacation because she had to complete an architectural design task.
When Shi Qiyan reached the top floor, she passed by Shao Yifan, who was walking down from the drawing room on the sixth floor. Seeing that Shi Qiyan was about to continue to the top floor, Shao Yifan asked, but got no response.
It was also Shi Qiyan's luck. Shao Yifan was very curious. Seeing Shi Qiyan running to the top floor in such a hot day, he asked her what she was doing but she didn't say anything. So Shao Yifan walked downstairs and looked up.
Just this one glance made Shao Yifan's soul fly away: Shi Qiyan sat on the daughter wall! She was going to jump off the building? Shao Yifan immediately called Gu Zhiguang and rushed upstairs to persuade him.
If Shao Yifan hadn't been there, perhaps Shi Qiyan would have jumped after thinking for a while, but because of her and Gu Zhiguang, Shi Qiyan, who was worried, didn't jump.
The sirens of police cars and fire trucks sounded downstairs, and the place was filled with noise.
"Don't jump, think about your parents!"
"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you."
"Tell us what you think and the teacher will try his best to help you solve the problem."
Shi Qiyan faced the blue sky, slowly spread her arms, and let the sunlight pour down and illuminate her whole body.
[It's really funny. If you are obedient, you can do everything. If you are sensible, you can take all the responsibilities. When you don't want to live anymore and want to die, suddenly so many people appear, crying and begging, not to let you die, haha...]
Zhao Xiangwan heard her thoughts and felt sad for some reason.
Pick the softest persimmons.
Shi Qiyan looks arrogant and unsociable, but she is actually a soft persimmon.
Lu Zhiying ran over and climbed up the porch. She looked at Shi Qiyan standing at the edge of the gutter. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat: "Qiyan, Qiyan——"
Because it is a rooftop for people to walk on, the parapet is made relatively high for safety reasons, about one meter by eye. The edge of the parapet is surrounded by a circle of pressed bricks, which are covered with cement mortar. Under the baking summer sun, it is both hot and reflective, which hurts the eyes of people inside the wall.
Lu Zhiying's hand was on the circle of bricks above the parapet. She seemed not to notice the burn at all. She was holding on to the edge tightly, wishing she could flip over and bring Shi Qiyan back immediately.
Shi Qiyan heard her voice and turned around slowly.
The sun was very strong, the concrete roof was very bright, and the temperature was very high, but all of this could not conceal Shi Qi Yan's beauty and pride.
Even though it was such a hot day, there was not a trace of sweat on her face. She felt light and airy, as if a gust of wind would blow it away.
Before Shi Qiyan could ask, Lu Zhiying started crying: "Qiyan, don't be like this. Your father didn't commit suicide, he was murdered. I went to find Gu Zhiguang, he's a policeman. The police found your father's diary with many things written in it. Come here quickly and come back with me. We want to redress your father's injustice..."
路芝英說得沒頭沒腦，但施啓燕卻都聽明白了。
她問：“我爸是他殺？”
路芝英點頭如搗蒜：“是的是的，警察已經和我說過了，他們在調查一起貪污案的時候無意中找到了一本你爸的日記，裏面說有人要害他。”
施啓燕将目光投向顧之光。
顧之光張着大嘴，呆呆地看着路芝英，感覺自己腦子有點轉不過來。他明明沒有提前和路芝英對過口供，怎麽她說得和自己剛剛說的一模一樣？
路芝英還在哭，她本就生得一臉苦相，現在眼淚鼻涕一起流，更顯得憔悴可憐：“啓燕，媽媽不能沒有你，你得替你爸申冤啊……”
施啓燕沒有說話，就這樣安靜地看着路芝英。
【爸真是他殺？為什麽？】
【設計院是清水衙門，怎麽會有貪污？】
【爸也寫日記？為什麽家裏沒有找到一本？】
【過了十二年，警察怎麽突然翻起舊案？】
【顧之光從哪裏冒出來的？為什麽我媽要找他幫忙調查？】
【我媽這人一輩子老實，以前我爸在的時候，她什麽都聽我爸的。後來我爸走了，她什麽都聽我的。能夠讓她想出找偵探，看來真有可能我爸的死因有蹊跷。如果不是為了再見她一眼，囑咐她幾句話，我何必等到現在？】
趙向晚有些佩服施啓燕，哪怕一個人站在天溝板的最外沿，只需要一個晃悠就能摔下去，旁人看着都吓得魂飛魄散，她卻絲毫不亂，邏輯思維清晰無比，迅速找到路芝英話中的漏洞。
這樣一個人，怎麽會想死？
趙向晚邁前一步，态度随和、聲音輕柔，如春風拂面，不給人一絲壓力：“施啓燕你好，我是趙向晚，公安大學大二學生，現在市局重案組實習。”
旁人因為慌亂舉止失措，哪怕是沖上來的保安都一個個表情失控、聲音裏滿是恐慌，只有趙向晚鎮定自若，仿佛同學在打開水的路上遇到，聊聊天氣談談學習。
趙向晚的态度令施啓燕有了好感，她将目光轉了過來。
趙向晚說：“施桐先生去世那一年，你十二歲，已經記事了吧？”
施啓燕：“當然。”
【十二歲，我已經讀初一，什麽都記得清清楚楚。】
趙向晚問：“警方說是抑郁症導致自殺，你信了？”
施啓燕抿了抿唇，沒有說話。
【我到醫院問過關于抑郁症的知識，和我爸的情況很符合。我懷疑，我也有這樣的遺傳。這個病，根本沒辦法治，很可怕。我感覺不到有什麽事情是值得我開懷大笑的，也找不到讓我感動落淚的電影、電視和小說，我就像是個空心人一樣，看別人哭哭笑笑，我卻什麽感覺也沒有。跳樓？我覺得是種解脫。像小鳥一樣在天空飛過，天地在這一瞬間為我敞開懷抱，多好。】
施啓燕的內心，遠比她的外在更喜歡說話。
她所說的一切，都符合抑郁症的症狀。
趙向晚道：“如果是自己想死，跳樓或許是種解脫，但如果他并不想死呢？如果他是被人推下的樓呢？”
施啓燕的眼睛裏閃過一道光，但瞬間又黯淡下來。
【既然想死，自己跳下去的，還是別人推下去的，又有什麽區別？】
【我爸這一生，輝煌過、燦爛過，愛過、恨過，就這樣離開，也挺好。】
【何必再去追究為什麽會死，到底是怎麽死的？就讓一切随風飄散吧。】
哪怕有讀心術，趙向晚也感覺到了棘手。施啓燕似乎真的對生死看得很淡，她的生存欲望很低。即使是父親施桐的真實死因，她都懶得追查。
難怪剛才顧之光說了半天，也沒辦法讓她回心轉意。
自己挖空心思想出來的招數并沒有達到目的，唯一的用處只是延緩了施啓燕跳樓的時間。
施啓燕看着路芝英，眼神溫柔：“媽，我爸的死因，你別去查了，太累。你性子單純，鬥不過那些壞人，別找什麽私人偵探，不靠譜，相信警察就好。我就是想告訴你這句話，才等到現在……”
【顧之光以為我會執着于我爸跳樓的真相，其實我只是想告訴我媽別被他這樣的人忽悠。真相什麽的，重要嗎？活了二十四年，真是夠了。】
趙向晚腦中響起警鈴，不好！施啓燕見到路芝英之後，最後的牽挂也随之消失，她馬上就會跳下去！
怎麽辦？怎麽辦？
趙向晚此刻只恨自己不是醫生，對抑郁症的那些治療方法不了解，僅憑着從書上看來的一些知識，真正遇到嚴重到要自殺的人時，完全束手無策。
人類情緒，包括快樂、悲傷、憤怒、驚訝、恐懼和厭惡六種基本情緒。如果說，無法通過施桐死因引發施啓燕的憤怒情緒，進而引出她的好奇心，那她的病症真的已經到達非常嚴重的地步。
施啓燕的內心，到底渴望着什麽呢？
趙向晚忽然想到剛才施啓燕提及父親去世，她想的是“輝煌過、燦爛過，愛過、恨過，就這樣離開，也挺好。”那施啓燕從來沒有戀愛過、從來沒有燦爛過，為什麽要死呢？
腦中靈光一現，趙向晚想到了馬斯洛的需求層次理論。
從生理需求、安全需求、情感和歸屬的需求、尊重的需求到自我實現的需求，施啓燕到底是哪個環節失了挫，讓她萌生死志？
一般的抑郁症患者，可能是在安全需求這個層面受挫，比如失業、親人去世、生病等因素造成；也可能是在情感和歸屬需求這個層面受挫，比如失戀、缺乏性親密、和最好的朋友斷交。
可是施啓燕明顯不是。
她學業有成、身體健康、不打算結婚、沒有戀人、沒有朋友，父親去世多年，沒道理因為這些而跳樓。
繼續向上追查，那就是尊重的需求沒有得到滿足。
每個人都希望自己有穩定的社會地位，希望自己的能力、成就得到社會的承認。馬斯洛認為，尊重需要得到滿足，能使人對自己充滿信心，對社會滿腔熱情，體驗到自己活着的用處價值。
那，是誰？讓施啓燕感覺到不被尊重？
顧之光的話在腦中閃過。
——高傲的施啓燕對賈教授言聽計從，無論是做項目還是寫論文都全力以赴，生怕讓賈教授失望。
——我的懷疑就是，賈教授一味壓榨研究生，給了施啓燕很大的精神壓力。
趙向晚大聲喊了出來：“賈慎獨是錯的！你不要被他影響。”
這一句話一出，施啓燕的後背一僵，明顯有了反應。
【她這是什麽意思？她知道些什麽？賈老師說的那些話，明明只有我們兩個在場，沒有人聽到，她怎麽會知道他是錯的？】
趙向晚眼睛一亮，太好了！
只要她有反應，只要她能有所求，那就有辦法。
“賈慎獨對你說的話，沒有一個字是對的，你要是聽了他的，那就是上了他的當。他就是要通過不斷地打擊你，讓你自信崩潰，然後由他掌控。”
老師在學生面前，天生帶有權威感。
這種權威感很容易讓人沉醉，有些沒有良心的老師會享受其中。不斷對學生進行打壓、挑刺，最後讓他們變得毫無自信，一切都聽從于他。
施啓燕的肩膀開始顫抖，擡起頭，愣愣地看着趙向晚，聲音變得有些暗啞：“你說什麽？”
【我真的盡力了，我真的非常非常努力了。老師說我沒有沉下心來，他說我只懂得開創，不注重歷史與傳承，我的內心真的很受挫。我明明查了很多資料，明明很努力摳細節，把吊腳樓的前世今生都理順，為什麽還要說我不注重歷史與傳承？危縣的吊腳樓那麽多，我和同學們一起拍了一百多張照片，為什麽他們可以休息，我卻還要完成手繪作品？我已經一個星期都沒有睡覺，我已經畫了十幾張建築表現圖，我真的好累、好累！】
趙向晚聽顧之光提起過賈慎獨有個外號叫賈獨食，為了把科研經費全由自己一個人支配，他不願意把項目分給其他老師，于是一味地壓榨學生。不聽話的、調皮的學生他沒辦法，于是聽話的、懂事的施啓燕便成了他不斷壓榨的對象。
一個星期沒有睡覺？換了任何一個人都會崩潰吧？這個賈慎獨真是枉為人師！
趙向晚将聲音放柔和：“施啓燕，有沒有覺得，這個世界并不公平？”
“明明辛苦的是你，但立功的卻是別人。”
“老實人吃虧，偷奸耍滑的得好處。”
“好人命不長，壞人活千年。”
陽光下，趙向晚那張蘋果小臉放着光，琥珀色的瞳仁閃着異光，帶着莫名的吸引力，施啓燕不由自主地被她帶入語境之中，腦袋微側。
施啓燕的頭向左微歪，下巴擡起，露出雪白的頸脖。
這個動作出現，給了趙向晚信心——頸脖是人類的脆弱之處，這個歪頭的動作，代表信任。
這說明，世道不公這四個字打動了施啓燕的內心。
趙向晚淡淡道：“如果，我們每個人都認可這份不公平，面對惡人、惡語不反抗，遇到惡行就選擇屈服，那……怎麽能怪世道不公？如果好人遇到點事情就跳樓，那怎麽能怪好人命不長？”
施啓燕的臉色有了變化。
潔白無暇的臉龐，一下子脹得通紅。
這一剎那間，暑熱仿佛終于落在了她身上。
飄然若仙的施啓燕終于有了點煙火氣。
既然一味地哄着，并不能讓施啓燕放棄自殺，那不如換個方法。
抑郁症的人，都是善良的人，遇到問題，她們會習慣性地反省自己。如果……給她們一點動力，讓她們打起精神來呢？
趙向晚道：“施啓燕，你先走過來一點，不然等下被太陽曬得眼睛發花，不小心掉下去，那就劃不來了。”
趙向晚的話語帶着一絲蠱惑，令人不由自主想跟随，施啓燕向着女兒牆方向邁了一小步。
所有人都懸着一顆心，屏住呼吸，不敢開口說話，就怕驚擾了趙向晚與施啓燕的交流。
路芝英捂住嘴，無聲地流着淚。
這麽多年了，終于有人說出了她一直想說的話！施先生為什麽要跳樓呢？他的去世，只會縱容那些欺負他的惡人，令關心他的人傷心難過。啓燕為什麽要跳樓呢？她這麽做，只會讓憎恨她的人歡呼，讓喜愛她的人痛不欲生。
趙向晚擡手指向頭發披散，打着赤腳，狼狽不堪的路芝英，聲音裏帶着寒意：“都罵為什麽柿子專撿軟的捏，都罵為什麽欺負老實人，那你為什麽不拿刀去砍了惡人，卻要拿刀子剜你母親的心？”
聽到這句話，路芝英再也控制不住自己的情感，趴在牆邊，號啕大哭起來。
“啓燕，啓燕，你三歲的時候我來了你家，你抱着我的腰問我是不是你媽媽，我當時眼淚就下來了。我沒有自己的親生孩子，你就是我女兒，你爸丢下我們走了，你就是我的命啊……我沒多少文化，我不懂你說的建築，更不懂什麽是歷史，可是我知道你愛吃酸甜口的，我知道你喜歡白衣服，我知道你喜歡幹淨，我這輩子沒什麽大出息，就想守着你，看着你長大成人，将來成為一個和你爸一樣了不起的人，就這樣，老天也不允嗎？”
施啓燕的眼裏有淚花在閃動。
趙向晚知道她已經意動，索性在她心上再添上一把火：“你媽媽打着赤腳，你看到了嗎？今天室外氣溫35度，屋頂地面溫度接近50度，你媽媽光着腳，是因為太着急見到你，把鞋子跑丢了。你看，關心你的人在你遇到困難的時候拼着命跑來見你，可是那些欺負你的人，到現在都沒有出現。你确定，要在愛你的人面前跳樓，讓那些憎恨你的人歡呼雀躍？”
一口氣說了這麽多話，趙向晚感覺喉嚨有些冒煙。她停頓了一下：“施啓燕，讓親者痛仇者快，你确定，要做這樣的人？”
兩行清淚順着面頰滑落，施啓燕緩步向前，走到女兒牆邊。
路芝英終于爆發了一回，一把撲過來，死死捏住施啓燕的手。她的力氣太大，骨節有些泛白：“啓燕，跟我回家，我們回家！你要是再跳，就帶着媽媽一起跳，這樣做鬼也有個伴。”
穿花裙子的邵一凡也趕緊跑過來，一把抓住施啓燕的胳膊：“施啓燕，你可真有出息！”
顧之光想要上前，被趙向晚制止。施啓燕是個女孩子，又生性.愛潔、清高自傲，肯定不願意讓陌生男人靠近，這個時候正是最關鍵的時候，絕對不能功虧一篑。
趙向晚一只手按在女兒牆的壓磚上，手掌被燙得倒抽了一口涼氣。她忍着燙胳膊發力一撐，一下子便翻了過去。
何明玉和朱飛鵬早已與她默契無比，迅速跟上，緊緊抓住趙向晚左胳膊，幫她穩住身形。
趙向晚左手搭在牆沿，腳踩在挑出牆邊寬約六十公分的天溝板上，慢慢向施啓燕靠近。
因為剛才的交流，施啓燕沒有抗拒趙向晚的靠近。
等到只有半臂距離，趙向晚托在施啓燕腋下，一托一送，幫助已經雙腳虛脫無力的施啓燕翻過牆去。
施啓燕腳剛落地，便被路芝英死死抱住，淚水噴湧而出，打濕了施啓燕的肩膀，她一個字也說不出來，只知道哭。
趙向晚翻回來，被何明玉一把抱住。朱飛鵬咬着牙：“你膽子太大了！”那挑出去的天溝板只有六十公分，她竟然就這樣翻過牆去！萬一施啓燕一掙紮，兩人都得死。
趙向晚被何明玉抱得有點喘不上氣來，伸出手輕輕拍了拍她的後背，笑着說：“我有分寸，沒事。”
何明玉狠狠地箍了箍趙向晚的脖子：“以後不要那麽沖動！”
【一百個施啓燕，也沒有你一個趙向晚值錢！】
樓下人群爆發出一陣歡呼聲。
“得救了得救了！”
“終于把人救下來，太好了。”
“太危險了，好緊張，差一點就掉下來。”
在這一陣歡呼聲中，賈慎獨姍姍來遲。
看到賈慎獨，學院方書記将他拉到一旁，壓低聲音囑咐：“施啓燕是你的研究生，怎麽能讓她跳樓？你這個導師平時是怎麽關心她的？”
賈慎獨四十歲左右年齡，個子很矮，黑瘦黑瘦，一臉的精明。如果不是戴着眼鏡，真看不出來是個大學教授。
他擡頭看一眼樓頂，皺眉道：“跳了沒？”
方書記沒好氣地說：“怎麽？人救下來了你還不滿意，非要跳下來摔死了你才高興？”
賈慎獨垂下眼簾：“書記你這是什麽話？施啓燕是我的學生，我當然希望她沒有事。現在的學生啊，心理素質太差，說兩句就尋死覓活。不是我說，這樣的學生你們以後不要再招了，就算是畢業了也難得成材！”
方書記沒想到都這個時候了，賈慎獨還如此強硬，沉下臉不客氣地說：“就你現在這個态度，誰還敢讀你的研究生？等她下來，記得說幾句好聽的話，關心關心她，不要逼她逼太狠了，要是真出了事，對你、對學院、對學校都影響不好。”
賈慎獨是建築學院有名的教授，每年縱向科研、橫向項目經費加起來早就超過了百萬之數，人稱“賈百萬”，腰杆硬得很，根本就不怕書記。
他冷笑一聲：“我是研究生導師，管的是學生的專業水平、研究能力培養，至于女學生的情感問題、個人問題，不歸我管！方書記你要是怕她出事，那就平時多關心關心她，和她多溝通溝通，順便幫她介紹個男朋友，免得七想八想，一個不如意又爬到學院樓頂上鬧着喊着要自殺。”
方書記被賈慎獨的态度氣得直打哆嗦：“賈慎獨！你別以為科研做得好、賺錢賺得多就不把思想教育放在眼裏。我告訴你，師者，德為先。你作為研究生導師，更應該以身作則，春風化雨……”
不等方書記把話說完，賈慎獨打斷他的話：“好了，既然沒有什麽事，那我回辦公室了。”
人群忽然喧嘩起來，吸引了方書記和賈慎獨的注意力，兩人同時擡頭，看向學院門廳。
建築學院大樓的一樓是個開敞的門廳，入口處挂滿了歷年優秀學生作品，門口一個鋼管構成的異形雕塑，看着很有藝術氣息。
警察、消防全體出動，施啓燕這次的跳樓鬧得動靜很大。當她終于被解救下來，所有人都松了一口氣。
趙向晚跟在施啓燕他們身後走下樓，準确地從人群中捕捉到一道不友好的目光，順着這道目光，趙向晚看到了賈慎獨。
施啓燕的身體瑟縮了一下，顯然也看到了賈慎獨。
趙向晚知道，真正的考驗來了。
路芝英抱着女兒的肩膀，像老母雞護雞崽一樣，用自己瘦弱的身體阻擋着圍觀群衆好奇的目光。
施啓燕此刻重回母親懷抱，卸下往日防備，只想回到家裏躲起來。可是賈慎獨的目光讓她全身一下子就緊繃起來。
方書記迎上來，看着路芝英，溫和地安慰道：“施啓燕媽媽，有什麽困難一定要說，學院一定盡力解決。您要不要先帶孩子到醫院去檢查一下？”
施啓燕的身體開始顫抖。
路芝英護着女兒，連連搖頭：“不去，不去醫院，我們回家。”
方書記看一眼賈慎獨，說了幾句場面話，希望這件事就此揭過作罷。
偏偏賈慎獨不僅不上來安慰施啓燕，反而從鼻子裏發出一聲冷哼。
這一聲冷哼，令施啓燕愈發緊張起來。
【老師來了，老師來了。我今天是不是又做了丢人的事情？我是個沒用的人，是個笨人，畫個樣式圖都要花兩天時間，做調查的時候也不如男生潑辣，根本就不适合做科研，更不适合做歷史建築保護。】
【The teacher said that the protection of historical buildings requires arduous field investigations. If you don’t have the spirit of hard work and perseverance, you are not worthy of being an excellent architect. My mother took good care of me from childhood to adulthood. The environment in the stilt house in Weixian was very poor. There was no way to wash or change clothes. The place where I lived was full of mosquitoes and cockroaches. After I arrived there, I couldn’t sleep every night and hid in the mosquito net and cried. I was so delicate, I might disappoint my father, right?】
Jia Shendu seemed to have an inexplicable magnetic field. As long as he was close to her, Shi Qiyan would become anxious, inferior, and sensitive. Even though he didn't say anything, Shi Qiyan could come up with a lot of accusations and reprimands in her mind.
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and looked at Jia Shendu, trying to find the reason from him.
This unremarkable man, wearing a gray short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of army green trousers with his trouser legs rolled up into a pair of three-quarter pants, and a pair of slippers, looked like a farmer digging lotus roots.
He had two thick eyebrows that were as sharp as a knife, which made him look more fierce.
Is this Jia Shendu, the nationally renowned expert in historical building protection and professor of architecture at Hunan University?
【Oh, coward! 】
【A coward who does not deserve sympathy. 】
[If you have the guts, just jump, and I will look up to you. ]
[You want to take me down with this? Don't even think about it! In this world, those who look down on me and those who try to take me down are all trampled under my feet. Who do you think you are?]
Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan felt mixed emotions.
If such a strong teacher meets a student who is equally strong, he may be able to bring out the student's potential. But what if he meets a sensitive and introverted student? That would be a tragedy.
No wonder the ancients said that teaching should be tailored to the students’ abilities. If teachers do not know how to adapt and blindly criticize, blame and demand too much from all students, problems will arise sooner or later.
At present, there is no better way except changing tutors.
However, for Shi Qiyan, if the tutor was not good, she would change tutors; if the work was not satisfactory, she would change jobs; if the family was unhappy, she would break up the family... She solved all setbacks by escaping, which was not a good thing for her who already had depression.
This world is not made for you, and it won't always be smooth.
Zhao Xiangwan had a deep sense of powerlessness.
We rescued Shi Qiyan today. If she encounters the same thing again next time, will she jump off the building again?
Lu Zhiying had a natural sense of inferiority in front of intellectuals. She did not dare to express her dissatisfaction, and walked past Secretary Fang and Jia Shendu with Shi Qiyan in her arms, whispering: "Qiyan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom will accompany you."
Zhao Xiangwan followed them, walking slowly.
Jia Shendu suddenly spoke up: "A person who is easily discouraged by setbacks will never achieve anything. Shi Qiyan, you really disappoint me."
Secretary Fang was so angry that he saw stars. It was already this late, and Jia Shendu was adding fuel to the fire! He strode forward and covered Jia Shendu's mouth with his hand: "Teacher Jia, be careful with your words!"
Although Jia Shendu was short, he was very strong. He raised his hands, opened Secretary Fang's hand that was covering his mouth, and spoke angrily.
"I educate my students, what's wrong with that? Secretary, don't think that you can stop all the negative comments by shutting up the gossip. Who doesn't encounter setbacks in life? Does everyone commit suicide? Look at the onlookers here, there are police officers, firefighters, teachers, and students. Who hasn't encountered difficulties in life or work? If everyone is like Shi Qiyan, who would kill herself at the slightest difficulty, how can this society progress?"
The crowd, whose faces were sweating from the sun, had originally planned to leave, but when they heard Jia Shendu's words, they suddenly became interested and began to discuss quietly.
"Yes, Professor Jia is right."
"Only cowards who want to escape from reality would commit suicide."
"So many poor people who can't even afford to eat are working hard to earn money to support their families, but she eats well, dresses well, looks pretty, and can even study for a master's degree. I don't know how much better she is than those people. What's there to be unhappy about?"
"If she wanted to jump off a building, she should have chosen a deserted night, found a tall building where few people lived, and jumped quietly. She came to the school building in the middle of the afternoon to jump, isn't she just trying to gain everyone's attention and sympathy? I don't think she would die at all, she's just being hypocritical."
The so-called crowd is actually a group of people who follow the crowd and are easily led and guided by some malicious voices.
When everyone was worried that Shi Qiyan would jump off the building, everyone was shouting: Don’t jump! You still have a lot of youth left! Come and help her!
But now that the crisis has been resolved, after Professor Jia said this, everyone changed their mindset and began to accuse Shi Qiyan of being cowardly, hypocritical, and seeking attention.
Every word was heartbreaking. Shi Qiyan's face turned pale and his steps became increasingly weak.
[I am a sinner. I shouldn't have come to the School of Architecture to jump off the building. I shouldn't have shocked everyone on such a hot afternoon. I should have chosen a sleepless night to slowly cut my wrists and let my vitality gradually disappear. Mom, I'm sorry for you, Dad, I'm sorry for you. I have brought shame to you. I shouldn't have come to this world.]
Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan's face turned dull.
Now that we have rescued Shi Qiyan today, we will never allow her to give up!
Zhao Xiangwan took a step forward and faced Jia Shendu, with anger flashing in his eyes.
Zhao Xiangwan is tall and Jia Shendu is short. They are only one meter apart, but it seems that Zhao Xiangwan is half a head taller than him.
"Teacher Jia, have you ever killed anyone?"
At the sudden words, Jia Shendu's pupils shrank. He took a half step back, put his left foot in front, right foot behind, raised his arms slightly, placed his left arm horizontally, clenched his right fist, and went into a state of full defense.
[Who is she? An undercover police officer? Why did she ask such a question? Could it be that...someone has discovered what I did?! It has been so many years since the incident, I thought it had been forgotten, why did she suddenly ask such a question? Did I give myself away, or was the body discovered?]
Huh? Zhao Xiangwan was also stunned.
Originally, she was going to have a discussion with Jia Shendu: there is a dragon spring on the tongue, which can kill people without shedding blood. She started with whether she had ever killed anyone, but it was just to alert Jia Shendu and make him pay attention to his words and deeds.
I never thought that Jia Shendu really killed someone?
This, this, this…
This doesn't follow the routine at all. How should she proceed?
The sun was still scorching, but Zhao Xiangwan felt cold.
