Chapter 26: Teenager’s Lament 04 Anything Can Happen
Chapter 4
"You also said that children of this age are very impulsive. They may rush up and hit someone just because of a glance, or there may be no reason at all. They may fight simply because they don't like the other person. Maybe they just robbed a few dollars, but if the student who was robbed has been oppressed for a long time and his mental state has reached a critical point, it is not impossible for him to do something retaliatory. There are countless children in juvenile detention centers for various reasons. This is not just a matter of a few dollars. In your opinion, a few dollars of things will not cost a person's life, but human nature is complicated and uncontrollable, because a fifty-cent lighter brutally killed an entire family and made the social news some time ago."
Lu Changfeng became more and more agitated and angrier as he spoke.
Yue Fanglin was also filled with anger. He had a child of his own. He couldn't imagine what would happen if his child encountered such an irresponsible teacher. If it was his child who was robbed, how would he seek justice for himself? He slapped the table hard, and the cup bounced up and down slightly, hitting the table with a loud bang. Yue Fanglin pointed at Hu Zhiming's nose and said, "You are a teacher, and you are also their class teacher. It is your responsibility as a teacher to teach students to establish correct values. If even you hold this view, then how can your students establish correct values? Today they bully their classmates in school and rob a few dollars. Tomorrow they may rob people in society, and the day after tomorrow they may rob a bank."
Lu Changfeng could also see that the teaching staff in their school was average. The students and teachers were slacking off. Students just wanted to get a high school diploma, and teachers just wanted to get a career in the government and a stable job.
Seeing that the two policemen were angry, Ho Chi Minh did not dare to smooth things over. He said hastily, "They did steal the pocket money of our classmates at school."
"Who were robbed?" Lu Changfeng was very angry, but he still restrained his emotions and cursed. Their purpose was to investigate the murder case, not to correct the school style and discipline. When they returned to the city for the case summary meeting, they would mention it in front of the city leaders. Within a month, this atmosphere would be rectified, which would be much more useful than him pointing at the teacher's nose and cursing here.
School bullying is almost always about bullying the weak. These students are just in their second year of high school this year. Logically, it stands to reason that when they are in their first year of high school, they are unlikely to bully students in their second and third years. The older students have a higher level of oppression over the younger students.
Those who can be bullied are the weaker students in their grade.
Hu Zhiming went to his workstation and took out the registration information form for his classmates.
It contains the personal information and 1-inch photos of 40 students in their class.
Hu Zhiming found two information sheets and handed them to Yue Fanglin and Lu Changfeng.
“It’s these two classmates.”
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin took one each.
One is called Xu Hao and the other is called Liang Feng.
Lu Changfeng: "Tell me about their situation."
Hu Zhiming introduced: "Xu Hao's family situation is quite special. Both his parents are dead, his grandmother is mute, and his grandfather is paralyzed in bed. He relies on the living expenses of the five guarantees every month. Xu Hao went to school with a free tuition quota for poor rural students. The tuition for high school here plus the cost of textbooks, accommodation and canteen fees, minus the government subsidy, the annual cost is about 4,500. There are only a few places in each township, and there are too many wolves and too little meat. Xu Hao has no one to support him, and the students in the class are more or less isolated from him. I did pay attention to him at the beginning, and I would definitely punish the students who bullied him severely, but the more we teachers protected him, the more he was bullied, and the bullied people became more fierce. If they didn't bully him at school, they would bully him on the way home."
"What exactly happened?" Lu Changfeng asked.
Hu Zhiming said: "They poured ink on his school uniform, tore up his books, hid his schoolbag, stuffed bugs into his bag, and so on. Our school's three meals a day are prepared according to the national standards, and the nutrition is up to standard. There are still parents who give their children some pocket money, and Xu Hao's grandparents will also give a little, maybe not much, 10 yuan and 20 yuan a week. In the first semester of the first year of high school, they bullied Xu Hao more, but in the second semester, they bullied less because they had a new target."
"Liang Feng?" Yue Fanglin asked.
Hu Zhiming nodded. "Liang Feng is a little different. He was expelled from his previous school and transferred to our school. His family is quite wealthy. Both his parents are rich, but they are divorced and no one wants him. His father married a new wife, and his stepmother treated him badly and didn't like him either, so she pushed him to the county town. He got into trouble in the county town and was expelled. His stepmother invested a sum of money in us to improve the campus environment and pushed him to our town. He doesn't go home on Saturdays and weekends. I send him money and things regularly every month."
"How much?"
Hu Zhiming pushed his glasses again. "Two thousand a month. Two thousand is the living expenses of many families in poor places like ours for several months. Liang Feng gives them a few hundred yuan every month so that they can use the money to avoid causing trouble. He and Xu Hao are deskmates, so he indirectly protects Xu Hao. These students don't bully Xu Hao that much."
"Were Xu Hao and Liang Feng in the classroom when the incident happened?" Lu Changfeng asked.
"Yes." Hu Zhiming said confidently, "All are. In fact, Xu Hao's grades are pretty good. If he can keep them up, he will have no problem going to a technical college in the future. Liang Feng is very smart. He sleeps in class and basically gets full marks on the exams. If he can finish three years of high school here, he will most likely go to a top university in the future."
Lu Changfeng extracted useful information from it. Liang Feng, as described by Hu Zhiming, can be called a genius. How could such a genius have a low IQ?
Lu Changfeng looked at Ou Renqiu, the head teacher of Class 6, and said, "Teacher Ou, where are the three people in your class?"
Ou Renqiu was suddenly called out, and he straightened his back with a start, saying, "The three of us in the class are following the two from Class 5. To put it bluntly, they are their younger brothers."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Who is the leader among the nameless students who died?"
"Tang Wenxuan," Ou Renqiu said, "He is the oldest, tall and strong, and is the absolute boss of their small group. Next is Ma Shanping, who has a bad temper and likes to hit people. The three students in our class listen to him completely and dare not refute him. Ma Shanping is older than them all, and he is the uncle of Ma Yuheng in our class."
Now the relationship between the several people was sorted out. Lu Changfeng repeated, "The five dead were a small group in school, led by Tang Wenxuan and Ma Shanping. The three students from Class 6 were their younger brothers. They bullied Xu Hao, a poor student from Class 5, for a whole semester."
The two teachers nodded.
Lu Changfeng looked at his superior and asked, "Do you know about this?"
The class leader nodded. "I know. I have dealt with them more than once. I have punished them and scolded them. I have also stopped them from bullying their classmates many times."
Lu Changfeng asked, "Anything else? Like bullying female classmates or something like that."
"It is inevitable that there will be some problems. We are quite strict in this regard, so the situation is relatively okay."
After understanding the general situation, Lu Changfeng winked at Yue Fanglin.
The two of them stood up together, and Zhou Yu and Jing Jue quickly followed.
The others wanted to follow, but Yue Fanglin turned around to stop them: "You don't have to follow us. We need to discuss the case, and it's not convenient for you to be present."
As soon as I opened the door, a cold wind blew in my face.
Parents outside the school were basically persuaded to leave.
Lu Changfeng was lying on the school railing, looking at an area with a string of lights not far in front of him. That was a street in the town.
Yue Fanglin put his hands in his pockets and said, "It's really cold today."
Lu Changfeng leaned against the load-bearing pillar in the corridor, but even his down jacket couldn't keep him warm in the cold weather.
He coughed twice.
Jing Jue said, "Why don't we requisition a classroom or an office? If your condition worsens, we will lose two important members before the case is solved. Captain Yue and I will be under a lot of pressure."
Yue Fanglin nodded and said, "Xiao Jing is right. We should allocate an office."
Jing Jue turned around, opened the door and entered the office, asking them for the office.
The prefect took them directly to the school's meeting room.
As soon as I arrived at the meeting room, the head of the special police came over.
After the two sides greeted each other, the head of the special police asked: "How long will your investigation take?"
Lu Changfeng said: "The investigation can be completed in two or three days. After the investigation is completed, the students and teachers who are not related to the case will be allowed to leave the school."
The head of the special police said: "This place is really far away. Almost all of our special police team was dispatched. It was too cold. Many team members did not get a good night's sleep for two days. Some of them could not hold on for too long."
"I understand. You've worked hard. We will solve the case as quickly as possible and let everyone go back to rest soon."
The SWAT team said goodbye and left, and they were the only ones left in the office. The water dispenser in the office was usable and could be used to boil some hot water.
Yue Fanglin asked Lu Changfeng: "I have learned the preliminary situation. What do you think?"
Lu Changfeng leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and said with great effort: "We can focus on investigating Liang Feng and Xu Hao. When people are pushed into a corner, anything can happen. From Hu Zhiming's description, Liang Feng's IQ is very high. Perhaps it was through him that the information was passed to the judge, who was responsible for executing the murder of several students."
Zhou Yu sat up straight. He usually didn't talk much, but was responsible for recording or looking up information. "Today we have only seen Wang Qi and several detectives from the criminal investigation team. Their bureau should have sent more than just them. Call all the police officers in the town and the detectives from their city bureau to hold a meeting. Tomorrow we will conduct a visit and investigation of the students in the school. Report the information to me. I will summarize it as soon as possible, sort out the useful information, and try to finish the investigation as soon as possible so that the parents can take the children away."
Yue Fanglin looked at Jing Jue, "Xiao Jing, what about you? Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Changfeng also looked over.
In fact, during the investigation process, they seldom took the initiative to ask Jing Jue for his opinion. Jing Jue mostly followed them to learn their case handling procedures and methods, and did what he could.
Jing Jue was quite surprised that Yue Fanglin would take the initiative to ask for his opinion. He said, "I want to participate in the investigation process. The information we know so far mainly involves students from Class 5 and Class 6. My idea is that we should control these two classes ourselves and focus on investigating their former junior high school classmates. This part can be handed over to Captain Wang and others. The police officers in the Municipal Bureau are definitely much more capable than the grassroots police officers and are not likely to overlook important information. These students may know some inside information. The remaining students will be handed over to the police in the town to communicate with."
Yue Fanglin gave him an approving look, "Your suggestion is very good. Let's make a distinction between the scopes and prioritize them so that we can complete the investigation as quickly as possible."
Soon they gathered everyone together for a meeting to integrate all their ideas and the information they had collected so far.
Wang Qi's main goal is to persuade the family of the deceased to agree to an autopsy. Wang Qi will urge the town staff to persuade them more and avoid using forceful means to perform the autopsy as much as possible to maintain good relations between the police and the public.
The tasks were assigned and it was already late. In a few hours after daybreak, they would start preparing for the investigation.
