Chapter 259: Rumors
Huang Chen's words shocked Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali.
But considering that he was a student and there was a possibility that he might not have judged the situation accurately, Zhou Yi asked him to tell him everything clearly, and if he missed a word, he should go back to the police station with him.
Huang Chen cried and said that it was a Saturday and his parents went to the next city to attend a colleague's wedding. He used studying as an excuse to not go with his parents.
But the real purpose was to take the opportunity to trick Tang Xue into his home and do that kind of thing.
Seventeen may be foolish, but not stupid.
Then he tricked Tang Xue into his home under the pretext of studying and prepared a lot of snacks.
Huang Chen said that the two had had some intimate physical contact before, but due to the lack of a suitable environment, it was just a superficial act.
That day at Huang Chen's house, he touched her repeatedly.
However, just as the two ignorant teenagers were about to break the last taboo, because of the nervousness and the first time, Tang Xue cried out in pain just as Huang Chen was about to move.
Zhou Yi stared at him suspiciously: "Are you really going to stop?"
Huang Chen cried so hard that her nose was full of snot. "It's true, I swear. She kept crying and shouting in pain and wouldn't let me touch her. I was afraid the neighbors would hear, so I didn't dare to continue."
Judging from his reaction, this guy is cowardly and timid, and doesn't seem like he has the ability to lie in front of two detectives.
But Zhou Yi didn't believe that he could just let it go. In his previous life, he had seen many cases of hot-tempered young men who got angry and embarrassed after being rejected and forced themselves to do something.
Zhou Yi said slowly but in a cold tone: "Do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Huang Chen was so anxious that he almost jumped up. He swore that he really didn't force her, but just begged her to help him with her hands.
Zhou Yi was not satisfied until the other party gave such an answer.
Because this logic makes sense and fits this person's personality traits.
"Tomorrow, ask your parents to bring you to the municipal public security bureau to have a blood test." Zhou Yi's purpose was to send the child to the provincial capital for a DNA test to confirm whether Huang Chen was related to the child born by Tang Xue.
Huang Chen's face was filled with fear when he heard this, and he asked tremblingly, "Can I not go?"
"Don't go? Then you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Huang Chen, who had just stopped crying, started crying again out of fright. Zhou Yi felt his head buzzing. After all, he was a seventeen-year-old boy, but he cried at the slightest provocation.
He was quite cunning when doing that kind of thing, and he would cry whenever something happened. His parents should bear the main responsibility for the child growing up to be like this.
Huang Chen cried and said, "Can I smoke now? If my dad finds out, he will beat me to death, wuwuwu."
The Dean of Studies, who had been standing outside the door, heard the crying coming from inside the room. He couldn't help it and knocked on the door, then pushed it open and asked, "Officer, are you okay?"
"Director Yang, do you have his parents' contact information?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Yes." Director Yang nodded.
"Then please look for it. We need it for our case."
Zhou Yi was too lazy to waste time talking to Huang Chen about this matter. He frowned and said, "Since you're such a crybaby, why don't you just come back with us to the Public Security Bureau and cry your heart out? How about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Chen stopped crying and just held back his tears, still choking a little.
"After that, have you never tried to do something similar again?"
Huang Chen shook his head: "I wanted to try, but she always disagreed. So it's just..."
Damn, he’s so perverted at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?
"Then why did you spread rumors that you slept with Tang Xue?"
"Because... because she didn't want to do that kind of thing with me anymore, so I got so angry that I... told others about it... I thought that this way, no one would steal her from me."
"You are making personal threats and spreading rumors and slander!" This time, even Qiao Jiali couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table and scolded.
This guy looks like a decent person, but he turns out to be stupid and bad.
If this was an adult, Zhou Yi would probably have handed him over to Shi Tao directly, and handcuffed him in the dry toilet for three hours first.
"When did your parents find out about your relationship with Tang Xue?"
"It was not long before we broke up. One day after school, in an alley near my house, she was helping me... that... and my dad happened to see us."
"How did your father handle this?"
"He dragged me back, hung me up and beat me all night..." Huang Chen said, hugging his shoulders and trembling all over.
Zhou Yi thought to himself, this father is so cruel, no wonder the kid got so scared when the topic of notifying the parents came up.
But with this attitude, how could the child be educated like this?
“What month last year did this happen?”
"I don't remember... I just remember my parents said they wanted to transfer me to another school, and then they found his friend and got me transferred here during the summer vacation."
Sure enough, the reason for transferring schools was because Huang Chen’s parents found out about this matter, and in order to stop him from having such thoughts and prevent any more trouble, they chose to transfer schools.
"Wait, you mean, your parents found out before you broke up with Tang Xue?"
Huang Chen nodded.
"Even after your parents found out, you still resorted to spreading rumors to try to control Tang Xue because she refused to satisfy you?"
Huang Chen was stunned and didn't dare to answer. Instead, he lowered his head, not daring to look Zhou Yi in the eye.
Zhou Yi couldn't help it any longer and cursed, "You are such an unrepentant and hopeless person!"
The office door was pushed open again, and Director Yang walked in with a file.
"Comrades, this is the registration form for Huang Chen when he transferred to another school. It contains his home address and his parents' contact information. Please take a look." Director Yang said with a smile.
Zhou Yi put away his angry expression and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Yang."
I took it and looked at it. In the parent contact column, the name filled in was Huang Jianhui, and his work unit was Hongcheng Forestry Bureau.
Zhou Yi glanced at Huang Chen coldly and thought to himself, I can't beat you, but I can stop your father from beating you!
Zhou Yi immediately called Huang Jianhui. After a few busy tones, the call was connected: "Hello, I'm Huang Jianhui, deputy director of the Forestry Reform Section of the Forestry Bureau. Who is this?"
Zhou Yi was stunned. Was this person's way of answering the phone so standard? He introduced himself right away. Could it be a Forestry Bureau request?
Forestry Reform Section? Forestry Reform Section?
"Hello, I'm Zhou Yi from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Are you Huang Chen's father?"
There was silence for two seconds, and when he spoke again, his tone became noticeably nervous: "Yes, I am Huang Chen's father. May I ask if my son has done anything wrong?"
"Please ask your parents to bring Huang Chen to our city's Public Security Bureau tomorrow for a blood sample. Your son is suspected of a criminal case and we need to conduct further investigation. Please cooperate."
Actually, it’s not impossible to take him home today to have his blood drawn, but keeping him for a day is for Huang Jianhui to use on his son.
"Comrade police officer, can I ask what the case is?" Huang Jianhui asked tentatively.
"It's related to the school he attended before. We are still investigating and verifying the specific situation."
The person on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Okay, okay, we'll take him to have his blood drawn tomorrow. Sorry to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi glanced at the trembling Huang Chen, but ignored him. Instead, he turned to ask the Dean of Studies: "Dean Yang, does your school adopt a closed management system?"
"Yes, we are one of the first schools in the city to implement a closed-door boarding system. Students are not allowed to leave the school from Monday to Friday. This is why many parents prefer us."
"February 28th and March 1st this year fall on Thursday and Friday. Did Huang Chen ask for leave?"
Director Yang said categorically: "Definitely not!"
Zhou Yi was surprised: "Don't you need to check?"
"That's right. In principle, we don't allow students to ask for leave. If you're feeling unwell, we have an infirmary. Our infirmary is staffed by retired doctors from the municipal hospital. They can treat minor ailments. If the situation is serious, we'll send you directly to the county hospital, which is less than five kilometers from our school."
"So you don't usually allow students to ask for personal leave?"
Director Yang nodded. "Unless a student's immediate family member has passed away, we refuse any other personal leave. Parents also signed a letter of commitment when the students enrolled. To be honest, although this may seem a bit strict, our school's college acceptance rate is among the highest in the city."
"I understand. Thank you Director Yang for your cooperation."
Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali stood up and shook hands with Director Yang.
"Huang Chen." Zhou Yi shouted.
Huang Chen was startled.
"Have you and Tang Xue met since you transferred to this school?"
Huang Chen shook his head repeatedly and said that he had no freedom after transferring to another school. His parents watched him very strictly on weekends. Even if he went out for something, they would lock him in the house, so he never saw Tang Xue again.
When Director Yang was seeing them off, Qiao Jiali casually asked about Huang Chen's grades.
Director Yang said somewhat awkwardly, "Huang Chen's grades are actually quite good. He was a little uncomfortable when he first transferred here, but he's caught up quickly. If he works hard, he still has a chance to get into a good university in next year's college entrance exam."
Then he added: "As for ideology and morality, maybe the school I attended before didn't pay much attention to it."
What this means is that it has nothing to do with our school, it’s all a problem of the previous school.
On the way back, Qiao Jiali and Zhou Yi discussed the relationship between academic performance and moral qualities.
Qiao Jiali said, "I used to think that children who study well would have better moral qualities than those who do poorly, but today Huang Chen really opened my eyes."
Zhou Yi gave a wry smile and said, "This is actually one of the most standard stereotypes among the general public."
