Chapter 27: Teenager's Elegy 05 Nonsense
Chapter 5
Jing Jue woke up in a daze and saw Lu Changfeng standing in the corridor outside.
He glanced at the time. It was a little after four in the morning.
Jing Jue stood up and walked out, moving lightly to avoid waking others.
Lu Changfeng heard the door open and turned around to see Jing Jue. He glanced into the room and saw Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu were still resting.
Jing Jue came to him and touched Lu Changfeng's hand. It was icy cold. "How long have you been outside?"
The wind poured into Lu Changfeng's mouth, and he coughed: "Not long."
"You're already coughing and you already have a cold. What if you get even worse from the cold?"
Lu Changfeng pulled his hand back and stuffed it into his down jacket pocket. "It's okay. I'll be back soon."
"What are you doing here?" Jing Jue asked, "Thinking about a case?"
Lu Changfeng hummed, "I can't sleep, so I came out to get some cool air to clear my mind and wait until dawn."
"The day will eventually dawn." Jing Jue held Lu Changfeng's arm, "Go back and rest. Even if you can't sleep, at least there's electric heating in the room so you won't catch a cold."
Lu Changfeng followed Jing Jue back to the office.
Jing Jue poured Lu Changfeng a cup of hot water, mixed some cold medicine in it, and asked him to drink it as soon as possible.
When it was just getting light, the school cafeteria started preparing breakfast.
Everyone started to wake up.
After two days of traveling, being sick, and staying up all night to investigate the case, the mental state of several members of the serious crime team was not very good.
Students began to appear on the playground at around six o'clock. Every day the school organizes students to run exercises, do radio gymnastics, and perform a set of Tai Chi, which is rotated among the three grades.
The people from the serious crime squad were watching at the edge of the playground.
Zhou Yu said: "Watching them do exercises, it was like going back to when I was in high school."
It was twenty years ago that Lu Changfeng attended high school, and his only connection with high school over the years was investigating cases.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's great to be young."
Yue Fanglin also sighed: "Yes, it's good to be young. When we were young, we were full of youthful vigor. Now, as soon as we open our eyes, we are struggling with our thoughts."
He said to Jing Jue: "Xiao Jing is still young, you should go out more and see the world while you are young. When you are older and have a family, you will drag your family with you wherever you go, which is not free and easy at all."
Xiao Zhou: "Life advice: Don't have a child too early. You have to take care of the child for two years. You have to consider the child wherever you go. You can't just spend time alone with your wife."
Jing Jue also didn't understand why the topic of lamenting the youthfulness of high school students ended up focusing on him and becoming life advice for him.
He smiled apologetically and talked about the experiences shared by the two experienced people. He also glanced at Lu Changfeng who was laughing secretly at the side.
At times like this, Lu Changfeng never spoke up for him, just like he didn't care whether he was in a relationship or not, and didn't even leave him any room for fantasy.
We agreed at the meeting last night that we would wait until all the students were in the classroom in the morning before conducting the survey.
The school started morning reading at 7:30, which was also the time they started their investigation.
Wang Qi brought them breakfast, which included white porridge with pickles, fried dough sticks and boiled eggs, plus a box of pure milk.
Lu Changfeng didn't like drinking pure milk, so he gave it to Jing Jue.
Jing Jue gave the egg to Lu Changfeng, "If you don't drink milk, just eat one more egg."
"If you can't eat it, eat it yourself." Lu Changfeng packed up the garbage and went to get a cup of hot water to wash the medicine.
After all the students have entered the classroom, the teacher will call the roll and confirm that all the students are there before coming over to inform them.
Everyone started to go to the student classrooms.
Five classmates died, and the school was surrounded by police inside and outside. Many children were timid and were so scared that they didn't sleep well for two nights in a row.
Lu Changfeng and the others also knew that the investigation into the students in this case had to be resolved quickly. The longer it took, the more likely it would cause panic.
The investigation mainly focuses on the following aspects.
First: whether you have been bullied by the deceased, when, and what exactly you did.
Second: Have you seen the five deceased bullying others? When did it happen? Who were the bullied?
Third: Whether the five deceased had done anything bad, including but not limited to school bullying.
Faced with so many children, the investigation takes a lot of time. After one morning, the preliminary investigation was completed. Zhou Yu received a large number of investigation records and began to organize the information obtained from the investigation one by one.
Liang Feng and Xu Hao were the focus of observation, and Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin had conversations with them.
During the conversation, Lu Changfeng noticed that Liang Feng was very calm and collected, and answered his questions almost fluently.
He also described in detail the grudges between him and several of the deceased, and also mentioned the bullying of Xu Hao.
Lu Changfeng asked him: "Why do you want to help Xu Hao?"
Liang Feng said: "Xu Hao is my deskmate. We live in the same dormitory. He helps me get food and wash clothes every day. As a reward, I help him deal with those people who bully him. From then on, no one in the class bullies him anymore. He doesn't have to be beaten and can study with peace of mind. He takes notes for me seriously in class. In return, I will help him with his studies and fill in the knowledge points he doesn't know. We are in an equal exchange."
Lu Changfeng didn't know what to say. Liang Feng's argument was quite reasonable. One party paid for the work, and the other paid for the money. They were indeed trading on their own initiative. "Do you think Xu Hao might hold a grudge against this and kill these people?"
Liang Feng answered Lu Changfeng's question decisively, "Absolutely impossible."
"Why are you so sure?" Lu Changfeng wanted to hear the reason.
Liang Feng said: "Because he and his grandparents depend on each other for survival. If something happens to him, his grandparents won't be able to survive. He is their lifeblood. He would rather endure being bullied and humiliated than live like a dog. You might as well suspect me instead of him."
"Did you do that?" Lu Changfeng asked.
Liang Feng shook his head and said calmly, "No. People who can be dealt with with a few hundred dollars can't cause any big trouble. I spend more money on beggars than this. In my eyes, they are worse than dogs. I have my goals. One day, I will take back everything that belongs to me from that bitch and kick her and her bastard son out of the house."
Lu Changfeng had also heard about Liang Feng's affairs from his class teacher Hu Zhiming. Basically, the mistress took over and drove away the original wife, exiled the original wife's son to the frontier, forced the original wife's son to make mistakes, and made the original wife's son lose the opportunity to inherit the property. In this way, the mistress took the opportunity to control the financial power and inherit hundreds of millions of assets.
As an outsider, it is not easy to make comments about Lu Changfeng. As long as the means are legal and he relies on his own abilities to take back what belongs to him, there is no problem.
Liang Feng said: "Perhaps your police force should focus on their fellow countrymen and classmates. These people might know something."
"Have you heard anything?" Lu Changfeng felt that what he said was definitely not groundless.
Liang Feng spread his hands and said, "I have only been transferred here for half a year, and I don't like to bother with them. But since we are in the same class, I will still see them even if I don't want to see them. I think the atmosphere between them is a bit weird."
"How is it so strange?" Lu Changfeng asked curiously.
Liang Feng: "Everyone used to go to the same school, maybe even the same class. The members of this small group hardly communicate with their junior high school classmates outside the group. It's as if they have never met before. According to human habits, people tend to hang out with people they are familiar with. One-sixth of the people came from the same place. They don't seem to want to have anything to do with the dead ones."
"You mean that only the five of them hang out together, and their former classmates, even those in the same class, are unwilling to associate with them."
"That's right." Liang Feng said with certainty.
Lu Changfeng thought this was indeed very strange and made a note of it, planning to check other people's investigation records later.
Yue Fanglin was responsible for talking to Xu Hao, but he found that Xu Hao was very timid and lacked a sense of security.
Xu Hao was not tall. At the age of seventeen, he looked to be only about 1.6 meters but less than 1.7 meters tall. He was very thin, weighing no more than 100 kilograms. He gave the impression that he was bones covered with human skin.
During the conversation with Yue Fanglin, he never looked up at Yue Fanglin once, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito.
His long, messy hair completely covered his eyes, and he was very resistant to contact with outsiders.
He answered Yue Fanglin's question haltingly.
He was indeed an honest man. He answered whatever he was asked without hiding anything, including how he was beaten and robbed, how he was forced by the small group to do homework and run errands for them, why the small group let him go, and the transaction between him and Liang Feng. He explained everything clearly.
When he noticed that Yue Fanglin was a little suspicious of Liang Feng, he was at his most assertive. He said firmly: "It can't be Liang Feng. Liang Feng is a good person. He just looks fierce."
Yue Fanglin thought to himself, why didn't you defend yourself so quickly when I suspected you? Once I suspected Liang Feng, it was like I was stepping on your tail.
He compared the information he had obtained with Lu Changfeng, and both of them said basically the same thing.
Zhou Yu looked at the two dialogues that perfectly confirmed each other and said, "I almost doubt whether they had checked in advance and had reached a consensus on their statements."
Lu Changfeng and Yue Fanglin both shook their heads in denial.
Lu Changfeng said: "Liang Feng's psychological quality is indeed very strong, but it is also true that he looked down on those dead students. He couldn't help but feel disgusted when he mentioned them."
Yue Fanglin took a sip of water. "Xu Hao here is even less likely to be the one. He is timid and lacks a sense of security. He is the only hope of grandpa and grandma."
Jing Jue focused on his former classmates and found that their attitudes towards the five dead were almost the same.
——Don’t understand, not familiar.
Jing Jue felt like his intelligence was being insulted: "They were clearly in the same class as Xu Hao and the deceased, yet they said they had no idea that the deceased had been bullying Xu Hao for half a year."
"Nonsense..." Lu Changfeng was speechless. "Everyone else knows, but those who were promoted to the same middle school say they know nothing. It's not fair for students who were assigned to other classes to say they don't know. Those who are in the same class dare to say they know nothing. How can those who came from other township middle schools in the same class know everything?"
Yue Fanglin laughed out loud. "It's understandable if one or two people say they don't know anything because they don't dare to cause trouble, but if a bunch of people say they know nothing at all, there must be something fishy going on. We'll definitely find something if we investigate further."
