Chapter 33 Teenager's Elegy 11 Are you sure you don't have it?
Chapter 11
Early in the morning, Wang Qi and his partner Yuan Feng went to look for the former teachers of Bailong Town Middle School who were still in Chengdu according to the information found by the Chengdu police.
When Zhang Chong resigned, he was a mathematics teacher for high school students at Bailong Middle School.
Now he is working as a mathematics lecturer in an educational institution in Chengdu.
Wang Qi and Yuan Feng went to the educational institution where he worked and happened to meet him downstairs.
Upon learning that they came to ask some questions, Zhang Chong invited them to the cafe next door.
The three of them sat down in the corner.
Wang Qi got straight to the point and asked, "You were doing well as a teacher at Bailong Middle School, why did you suddenly resign?"
Zhang Chong replied, "As a teacher in a township middle school, I only make 70,000 yuan a year, including subsidies. My wife and children are in Zhencheng. It takes six hours to get from Bailong Town to Zhencheng. I have very little time to spend with my wife and children each week. My parents are sick and I can't take care of them. There is no end in sight for working in a township, so I chose to resign and come to Chengdu."
Wang Qi showed him photos of several dead people and asked, "Do you remember any of these people?"
Zhang Chong took the photo and looked at it, then said, "They should be students from Bailong Middle School, but I have never taught them."
He asked back: "What happened to them?"
Wang Qi said: "Dead."
Zhang Chong's pupils trembled, and he was obviously frightened. "Dead?"
Wang Qi nodded: "Yes, they all died a few days ago."
"You don't suspect that I killed them, do you?" Zhang Chong said immediately, "I only look familiar to them, I can't even call out their names, and I have been in Rongcheng all this time, and I have never left."
Wang Qi signaled him not to panic, "I just wanted to find out from you if they have done anything bad in school, bullied classmates or anything like that."
"You should ask his teacher. I'm not their teacher, so I don't know."
Zhang Chong took a sip of coffee, and the bitterness spread in his mouth. Only then did he calm down.
Wang Qi saw his reaction and pleaded, "Teacher Zhang, I hope you can help us think about it carefully. This is very important to us."
Zhang Chong thought about it seriously for a while, and still shook his head: "I really don't know, I can't think of it."
"Thank you for taking up your time."
Zhang Chong asked, "You don't have anything else to ask me, right?"
Wang Qi said: "No more."
Zhang Chong immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I need to clock in and it's too late."
Wang Qi stood up to see him off. After walking a few steps, he suddenly said, "Zhang Chong, is there really no other hidden reason for your resignation?"
Zhang Chong paused and denied it, "Really not. It's all my fault. Now I can earn hundreds of thousands a year. I regret not coming to work in an educational institution earlier."
After watching him leave, Wang Qi turned back to the car and went to investigate the next teacher.
In the car, Yuan Feng said: "His answer is perfect. I will ask someone to check his bank transactions in the past two years to see if he has received any large transfers."
Wang Qi nodded in agreement.
An hour later, they showed up at another female teacher's home.
Wang Qi knocked on the door. Not long after, an old lady came to open the door for them. Seeing the two of them standing outside, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What do you want?"
Wang Qi showed his police ID: "Hello, is this Ms. Liao Jingshu's home?"
The old lady nodded: "What do you want from him?"
"I want to get some information from her."
"Just wait." The old lady closed the door with great safety awareness.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman opened the door and came out, "Are you looking for me?"
Wang Qi showed his police ID again, "Hello, I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau of Qiancheng City. I want to find out more about the situation."
Liao Jingshu asked nervously, "Did I do something wrong?"
Wang Qi: "Would it be convenient for us to come in and talk?"
"We have children at home. Can we go downstairs to talk?" Liao Jingshu asked for their opinion, worried that their presence would scare the children.
"sure."
After Liao Jingshu talked to the old lady for a few words, he led them downstairs and talked to them on the bench downstairs.
Wang Qi asked him: "You were doing well as a teacher at Bailong Middle School, why did you suddenly choose to resign?"
Liao Jingshu stroked her knees back and forth. "Because I was pregnant at the time and had severe morning sickness, I couldn't continue to teach. Bailong Town is far away and in the mountains. If I had any accidents at school, it would be difficult to get medical treatment in time, so I chose to resign."
"I want to be there for my daughter as she grows up."
Wang Qi showed her some photos and asked, "Do you know these students?"
After taking a closer look, Liao Jingshu said, "He looks familiar, but I don't know him. He should be a former student of Bailong Middle School, but he is definitely not in my class."
Wang Qi said: "Based on your memory, have they ever done anything bad in school, such as bullying classmates?"
"I really don't know about that." Liao Jingshu shook his head decisively, "If they are not students in my class, I usually don't pay much attention to them."
"So how did the townspeople treat you during the years you taught in Bailong Town?"
"Not bad." Liao Jingshu said: "Everyone is very kind. Bailong Town is relatively backward and has only developed in the past ten years. When I first arrived at the school, many places in the town did not have internet access."
Wang Qi left her a phone number and said, "If you think of anything, you can call me."
Liao Jingshu nodded, "Okay."
After leaving, they went to find the principal of the school at that time. Now the principal has opened a small supermarket and is no longer in the system.
When Wang Qi and his friends went over there, the principal was receiving the goods.
Wang Qi stepped forward and showed his police ID. "Hello, I'm from the Xucheng Public Security Bureau. I want to know something from you."
The principal then called a young boy to supervise the unloading and took Wang Qi and Yuan Feng to the reception room upstairs.
The principal poured them tea and asked, "What do you two officers want from me?"
"I mainly want to ask you why you resigned from the position of principal, and all your subordinates also resigned."
The principal paused as he held the tea in his hand. "Have they all resigned? I don't know about this."
The principal said: "I resigned because my son and daughter-in-law were too busy at work and had no time to take care of the children. Both of them had important jobs, so my wife and I had to help them take care of the children. Now that I have opened this supermarket, I earn more money and have more time than before, so there is nothing wrong with that."
Wang Qi showed them the photos and asked, "Do you recognize these children?"
"They look familiar, but I don't know them." The principal looked at them carefully again and again and asked them, "What's wrong with these children?"
Wang Qi said: "Dead."
The principal was very shocked: "Dead?"
Wang Qi nodded. He couldn’t tell that the principal was acting; his shock was genuine.
He asked the principal: "During the years you were the principal of Bailong Middle School, has there been any vicious school violence?"
The principal quickly shook his head: "No."
"Are you sure you don't have it?" Wang Qi asked.
The principal said: "If something as serious as school violence really happened, I would definitely know about it. If it was just a minor incident and the teachers had already dealt with it and hadn't reported it, it would be difficult for me to know about it."
"Perhaps you can check through the student records and the information retained by the school to find out who their homeroom teachers and teachers were back then. Ask them and they may be able to provide you with useful information."
The principal said apologetically, "I really can't provide any useful information here."
As usual, Wang Qi left his cell phone number.
I asked so many people in succession, and they all had their own reasons.
However, their statements were flawless and Wang Qi was unable to obtain any useful information.
He called Yue Fanglin and told them the results of his investigation.
Yue Fanglin also synchronized their investigation results.
The students who were left behind in school always insisted that they knew nothing.
Even if Yue Fanglin and his team wanted to keep these students to cooperate with the investigation, there had to be a time limit and they could not restrict the students' freedom. They could only arrange for cars to send them home.
The investigation has reached a deadlock and there is currently no set date for the school to reopen.
After Yue Fanglin had the crime scene sealed off, he led the serious crime team out of Yulong Town and returned to Zhengcheng.
According to regulations, the family of the deceased cannot take the body away directly. The body must be cremated at the crematorium and the ashes can then be taken away by the relatives.
Now the family of the deceased is determined to take away the body of the deceased. They do not want the ashes, but only the body. Both sides are still arguing over this issue.
Lu Changfeng and his colleagues had never met the family members before. It was their colleagues from the Yancheng City Bureau who were in contact with them. Now that they are back in Yancheng, they would like to take this opportunity to have a chat with the family members of the deceased. Led by their colleagues from Yancheng, they can all sit down and have a good chat. Maybe they can dig out some useful information from the family members of the deceased.
There were a total of thirteen family members of the five deceased persons present at the scene.
Everyone was in the conference room, and the names of the family members in front of them were written.
The four members of the serious crime squad sat at opposite ends of the conference table.
Zhou Yu was responsible for recording.
Lu Changfeng has a good appearance and is not fierce, so it is easy for people to let down their guard.
He said, "We are all gathered here today for two main reasons. One is about the handling of the remains, and the other is to get to know your family members and see if they can provide some clues to solve the case."
Tang Wenxuan's mother tearfully complained: "You said the autopsy was for investigating the case, and you forced us to do it even though we were not allowed to. Now you want to bring us here to understand the situation and ask us to provide clues to solve the case. If the case cannot be solved, our son's autopsy will be in vain, and you won't even give us the body after the autopsy."
Regarding the cremation of corpses, Lu Changfeng held a meeting with the leaders of the Municipal Bureau yesterday to discuss this issue.
The current policy is to encourage cremation and replace burial with tree burial cemeteries, but it does not mean a one-size-fits-all approach to enforce cremation.
Cremation should be implemented in areas with a large population, little arable land and convenient transportation.
A place like Bailong Town is far away in the mountains and takes five or six hours to drive to. The total population within a few hundred miles is only about 10,000 or 20,000 people.
Although they have all moved to the town now, they still have their own fields and forests. Moreover, this area has only been completely lifted out of poverty in recent years, so it is impossible for them to keep up with the pace of the city immediately.
After discussion, we decided to implement it gradually.
Lu Changfeng looked at Tang Wenxuan's mother and said, "Regarding the issue of cremation, after much discussion, we have decided that you can take the body back and deal with it yourself."
Hearing Lu Changfeng say this, the family members of the deceased felt relieved.
"Can we really bring the body back?"
Lu Changfeng nodded: "Yes, it has been approved. The funeral car will help you transport the body back. You can prepare the coffin yourself."
The family members lay on the table and cried bitterly.
After the family members' emotions calmed down a little, Lu Changfeng began to ask them about the situation.
It would have been better to question them separately, but considering that several of the deceased were poisoned at the same time and they were a small group, they were not interviewed separately and this could not be considered a formal inquiry.
Lu Changfeng said with a sad face: "We, the police, are deeply saddened by the fact that your child was poisoned. Since the incident, we have been trying to find clues and catch the real culprit, but we have not found any key clues yet. I think as a family member, I also hope that the police can solve the case as soon as possible."
