Chapter 38: Teenager’s Elegy 16 Which one are you referring to?
Chapter 16
The whole town was filled with crying early in the morning.
Lu Changfeng was woken up in a daze. Jing Jue had put his hands on him without him knowing and held him in his arms.
After moving Jing Jue's hand away and getting off the bed, Lu Changfeng came to the bedside and saw someone holding a flashlight, blowing and beating a spirit flag, and crying all the way.
Suddenly a pair of hands wrapped around his waist.
Lu Changfeng was startled and pushed back with his elbow.
Jing Jue cried out in pain.
Lu Changfeng felt relieved when he heard that it was Jing Jue's voice.
The room was now pitch black, a funeral procession was passing by outside, and someone was hugged from behind. Who wouldn't be scared?
"Are you trying to scare me to death?" Seeing him covering his mouth, Lu Changfeng cursed, "You deserve it."
He quickly walked to the door and turned on the light in the room.
Seeing that Jing Jue looked very bad, he suddenly became worried, "Does it hurt a lot?"
He was just frightened and the elbow was really hard.
Jing Jue held his stomach and nodded.
Lu Changfeng pulled him to the bedside, "Sit down, let me take a look."
Lu Changfeng pulled open Jing Jue's clothes. There was nothing wrong with his appearance. Lu Changfeng was a little worried that he might have injured his ribs.
Question: "Where exactly does it hurt?"
Jing Jue pointed to his left waist.
"Let me take you to the health station."
Jing Jue shook his head and lay on the bed. "Wait and see. Maybe it won't hurt after a while."
Lu Changfeng brought him a pillow to cushion his pain, "In case your liver or ribs are injured."
"Probably not." Jing Jue covered the place where he was hit and pursed his lips.
Lu Changfeng half-knelt beside the bed, "Don't hug me from behind anymore. It's easy to scare me with your surprise attack."
Jing Jue: "You don't let me hug you from the front."
Lu Changfeng: “…”
"Next time, please don't do that from behind. I'm afraid I'll hurt you again."
Jing Jue covered the injured area and said, "This blow is really worth it."
Lu Changfeng was very worried. "If the pain doesn't subside in five minutes, I'll send you to the county hospital immediately."
Jing Jue hummed.
Lu Changfeng went to wash up first, ready to take Jing Jue to the county hospital for examination at any time.
After washing up, he came back and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Jing Jue said: "It's better than before."
"Are you really feeling better? Don't tell me you didn't want to go to the hospital and lie to me."
Jing Jue held Lu Changfeng's hand and said, "It's really much better now. It doesn't hurt that much anymore."
Lu Changfeng carefully lifted up Jing Jue's clothes to check, and could see that the place where he was elbowed was red and swollen.
"Then don't go to the hospital yet. If you really feel uncomfortable, you still have to go to avoid any problems with your body."
"Don't worry, it'll be okay."
Lu Changfeng stayed with Jing Jue in the room waiting for dawn.
It was half past seven when the sun rose, and Jing Jue's waist pain had gone away.
Lu Changfeng asked him to lie on the bed while he went downstairs to get some food and bring it up.
We still had dumplings in the morning, this time they were sour soup dumplings.
Lu Changfeng was carrying dumplings upstairs. Yue Fanglin saw him and asked, "Why is Jing Jue not here?"
"I bumped into you and now your body hurts."
"Is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"Wait and see. If it still hurts, I'll send him away."
"How did you two collide? How could it be so serious?"
Yue Fanglin followed him to check on Jing Jue's condition. Lu Changfeng told him the whole story, but he did not mention that Jing Jue hugged him from behind, but instead touched his shoulder.
"I would have hit him too. It's so scary."
After seeing Jing Jue, Yue Fanglin went downstairs to have breakfast, yawning continuously.
He didn't sleep well last night. He was woken up by the funeral procession early in the morning with waves of crying.
No one in the institute slept well.
Lu Changfeng said: "The family members cried so sadly during the funeral."
Yuan explained, "This is the way we mourn and attend funerals here. Generally speaking, the louder you cry, the more you express your reluctance to part with the deceased. That's why they cried so loudly this morning. Usually, when one family holds a funeral, this situation is not obvious. This time it's different. Five families held it together, so it was particularly noisy. It will be fine after the burial."
"Are we going up the mountain to bury the dead before daybreak? What if someone falls accidentally?"
"The sooner you are buried, the sooner you will rest in peace." Yuan said, "It is inevitable to fall, so you can only be careful."
Wang Qi immediately took people to the Education Bureau to investigate Jiang Yue's case.
The investigation on Jiang Yue's family was handed over to the county police.
Although Lu Changfeng got Fang Shengjie's phone number, no one answered no matter how many times he called.
Zhou Yu found the contact information of Fang Shengjie's current educational institution on the Internet, called them, and asked them to let Fang Shengjie answer the phone.
Only then did he contact Shangfang Shengjie.
Then Fang Shengjie called them back with his own cell phone.
After Lu Changfeng revealed his identity, he asked him, "You were doing well as a teacher at Bailong Middle School. Why did you resign?"
Fang Shengjie told him: "My wife had a threatened miscarriage at the time, and I needed to accompany her to take care of the baby. I was not very satisfied with my job in the township, so I simply resigned and stayed at home to accompany my wife to take care of the baby. Later, I chose to work in an educational institution because the salary was higher."
"How much do you know about Jiang Yue?"
Fang Shengjie was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "What matter, which one are you referring to?"
"What do you know?" Lu Changfeng did not directly specify what it was.
Fang Shengjie said: "She was my student. She had very good grades, especially in mathematics. She was very talented. Her family was a bit biased towards boys. They originally wanted to have a second child, but it turned out to be a daughter. They were fined for having an extra child. Her family didn't like her very much and didn't treat her very well. She was almost forced to drop out of school in the second year of junior high school. I went to her home with the leaders of the town police station to do ideological work, and later helped her get a full scholarship. Only then did her family let her continue her studies. I don't know anything else."
"Has she ever been bullied by her classmates at school?"
Fang Shengjie denied it, "No. She had good grades, didn't talk much to others, and focused on her studies. The only person she had a good relationship with was her deskmate. Before I left, she had never been bullied."
"Is her deskmate a boy or a girl? What's her name?"
Fang Shengjie thought for a moment and replied, "His name is Liu Wei. He is a male classmate and the monitor of our class. His academic performance is also pretty good. He should be able to go to a junior college."
Then Fang Shengjie asked: "You asked me about Jiang Yue. Did something happen to her?"
Lu Changfeng: "It wasn't her that got into trouble, it was her classmate that got into trouble."
"Who?" Fang Shengjie asked.
Lu Changfeng told him the name.
"This is not a student from our class. I remember Tang Wenxuan was from the class next door." Fang Shengjie was a little confused. "What happened to them?"
Lu Changfeng said: "They are all dead."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
After a while, Fang Shengjie asked in confusion: "But what does this have to do with Jiang Yue and me?"
Lu Changfeng: "First you resigned, then Jiang Yue didn't transfer to a new school and didn't complete the transfer. She didn't go to the new school, nor did she return to Bailong Middle School. Then all the teachers and principals of Bailong Middle School resigned."
Fang Shengjie let out an "oh".
Lu Changfeng asked him, "When you were teaching at Bailong Middle School, did anything big happen in the town?"
"Do you mean good or bad?" Fang Shengjie asked back.
Lu Changfeng said: "Both good and bad are fine."
"The good thing is that a mushroom farm was opened in the town, which expanded the scale and brought a lot of income to the town. Many people have a job. The bad thing is that I don't remember much."
“Has there been any serious bullying incidents at school?”
"No." Fang Shengjie denied.
Fang Shengjie was quite cooperative, but he didn't provide any useful information.
The conversation can only end.
Not long after I hung up the phone, Wang Qi called.
"Captain Yue, Captain Lu, we can't find any records of Jiang Yue's high school entrance exam. She missed the exam. Let the people in the county help to check the rest."
"Thank you for your hard work. There is another person you can check for me and see if you can contact him. His name is Liu Wei, and he was Jiang Yue's deskmate at Bailong Middle School."
"Okay, I'll give you the news when I find out."
The funeral was over in the morning and the town became quieter without any funeral music. Everyone was tired from attending the funeral, so after the funeral, everyone went home to rest.
Before eleven o'clock in the morning, Yue Fanglin received another message from Wang Qi.
"Captain Yue, according to the county's investigation, Jiang Yue is not in the county at all. At the beginning of the year, the county conducted a census and registered all households, but there was no information about Jiang Yue. We also can't find any ticket purchase records or bank cards in her name. There is no record of her using her ID card, and she doesn't have her own phone card. It's like this person has completely disappeared."
"We are still in Bailong Town and cannot go to the county to investigate this matter for the time being. Please ask your colleagues in the county to continue to help with the investigation and ask her family about her whereabouts."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to check as soon as possible. In addition, no large transfer records were found in the bank card statements of several people in their family. I also asked someone to check the lottery winnings, and no one in their family won the lottery. I don't know where the house they live in now came from. My brothers in the county took people to the real estate company to check their purchase contract."
Yue Fanglin said, "Please follow this line to investigate further. Also, ask their neighbors to see if anyone has seen Jiang Yue. If so, it would be best if you could give a specific time frame."
"Okay, I understand."
According to the investigation, Liu Wei is now studying in high school in the county town and his grades are pretty good.
Lu Changfeng and his team got Liu Wei's contact information, but Liu Wei is still a minor. If they want to find Liu Wei to find out the situation, they have to be accompanied by a guardian. Lu Changfeng and his team cannot communicate with him directly over the phone.
"It seems that we have to go to the county town anyway."
Yue Fanglin thought of Jing Jue's injury and said, "How about this? You take Jing Jue to the county town to look for Liu Wei. Zhou Yu and I will stay here to see if anyone will come to us for clues."
"Okay, that's settled then." He checked the time and said, "We probably won't be back tonight. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by phone."
Lu Changfeng took Jing Jue to Lang County.
Lang County has a permanent population of more than 50,000, and it takes more than three hours to drive to the county seat of Lang County.
The road was bumpy, and by the time Lu Changfeng and his friends arrived at the county town, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Changfeng took Jing Jue to the county hospital for a check-up. It was just a soft tissue contusion, not a serious problem. Lu Changfeng was relieved and took Jing Jue to the school to find Liu Wei.
Liu Wei met with them accompanied by his class teacher.
"Has Jiang Yue ever been bullied at school?"
