Chapter 260 Tutor
"We are used to measuring a child's quality by their academic performance."
"If you study well, you are a good child, and everything you do is right."
"If you don't study well, you are a bad kid and everything you do is wrong."
"But in reality, academic performance and moral character are not the same thing."
"Perhaps there's some correlation here. For example, if you study well, you'll receive more praise and attention, which in turn leads to a stronger sense of self-awareness, which in turn leads to higher standards for yourself, leading to better personalities. It's like what the ancients said: 'Examine yourself three times a day.'"
“But it’s an awareness, not a necessity.”
"My view is that learning is a skill, but morality is a quality. Knowledge can be acquired through hard work, but morality cannot be improved through hard work."
"Huang Chen is a case in point. Also, the director of the Third Municipal Hospital we arrested earlier, Zhu Xuejun. His achievements are impressive, right? He must have been a good student since childhood, a child of destiny. But he ended up being morally corrupt and completely devoid of conscience. Not only did he engage in promiscuous relationships, he also used others' tools to kill people, committing crimes. Most terrifyingly, he used academic fraud to protect unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies and act as an accomplice. If he had succeeded, who knows how many lives he would have killed."
In fact, he had already succeeded in his previous life.
Even Zhou Yi didn't know how many people died because of Zhu Xuejun in his previous life.
Watching Zhou Yi speak so freely, Qiao Jiali didn't interrupt him until he finished. Then she said admiringly, "Zhou Yi, sometimes I really don't understand you. What on earth have you been through that at the age of twenty-three you sometimes behave like a middle-aged man with a lot of vicissitudes of life? Chen Yan was also twenty-three when he first joined the Third Squadron. Back then, he was a complete brat, timid and hesitant to take the initiative to communicate with others. He followed Captain Wu around like a lackey all day long."
Everyone in the Third Brigade has read Zhou Yi's file.
He is a local, his parents are still alive, his family is harmonious, his grandfather is a retired veteran, he has not experienced any major changes since he was a child, and his scores for admission to the provincial police high school and his performance in school were not outstanding.
It can be said that looking at his life resume alone, Zhou Yi before the age of 23 had a standard grassroots police officer's resume, which was unremarkable.
So although Wu Yongcheng initially transferred Zhou Yi to the Municipal Bureau, he always had certain doubts about him because Zhou Yi's actual performance did not match his resume in any way.
Although Wu Yongcheng still didn't understand how Zhou Yi appeared, he had accepted the fact and no longer worried about it.
Zhou Yi has now found a way to deal with this kind of surprise. He replied: "I just watch a lot of TV and learned from it."
When the two returned to the Municipal Bureau, they found that Shi Tao and the others had not returned yet, so they interrogated Yao Fenfang and Tang Xue separately.
Yao Fenfang's expression was noticeably uglier than it had been the day before. The first thing she said when she saw Zhou Yi was, "Officer, have you released my daughter? She has nothing to do with this. I did it all by myself."
Sure enough, she couldn't wait any longer.
She was eager to confess her crime yesterday because she was eager to take the responsibility on herself.
She couldn't wait today because she didn't know whether the police believed what she said, and she was eager to put this matter to rest.
This is a manifestation of trying to cover up something but making it more obvious.
Zhou Yi did not answer her question, but asked her: "Do you know whose child your daughter is carrying?"
"I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me. If I pushed her too hard, she'd start crying. I was afraid she'd do something stupid, so I didn't dare ask."
"Do you know Huang Chen?"
Yao Fenfang asked doubtfully, "Who is Huang...Huang Chen?"
"Your daughter's classmate."
"I don't know him... She never tells me anything about school." Yao Fenfang suddenly realized and asked excitedly, "Did he get Xiaoxue pregnant?"
"We are still investigating the situation. We are still unable to determine who the father of the child is, so we need you to provide clues. You can think about which men would have had the opportunity to get close to your daughter, especially between April and May last year."
Yao Fenfang lowered her head in thought, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Is this... related to the case?"
"Whether it matters or not is not your concern. Besides, don't you want to know who harmed your daughter like this?"
Yao Fenfang thought about it and said that apart from classmates, Tang Xue had basically no chance to come into contact with men, and no men would come to her house.
"Have you ever hired a tutor for Tang Xue?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Tutor? I did hire one before, but it became too expensive and I couldn't afford it anymore, so I stopped."
"When did you invite him?"
"It was... the first half of last year, for about two or three months."
"Is the tutor a man?"
Yao Fenfang nodded. "It's a male teacher, Hu Weihua, about my age. He's a math teacher at No. 2 Middle School. They say he graduated from a prestigious university, but he's too expensive..."
"No. 2 Middle School? Do you have his phone number?" Zhou Yi asked, because the tutor's surname is Hu, the first letter of which is H in pinyin, and the time is basically consistent.
"Yes, there's a notebook in my master bedroom bedside table. It's used for accounting, and Teacher Hu's phone number is on it."
"Where is the tutoring place usually?"
"At the teacher's house, if I'm on day shift or on break, I'll take her home. If she's on night shift, she'll come back by herself because it's not far away."
Zhou Yi asked for Hu Weihua's specific address again and asked Yao Fenfang to think carefully about whether there were any other men who had contact with Tang Xue.
Yao Fenfang thought about it and said no.
But judging from the fact that Huang Chen didn't know about it, even if it really existed, she might not know about it.
"Yao Fenfang, do you have a boyfriend?" Zhou Yi asked.
Yao Fenfang was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook her head.
After Zhou Yi asked Yao Fenfang, Qiao Jiali not only asked Tang Xue, but also went to the command center.
The command center contacted several banks in the city to confirm Yao Fenfang's bank account information. Only a postal savings bank near Donghai Community had Yao Fenfang's account, which was consistent with the passbook found during the on-site inspection yesterday.
After verification, it was confirmed that there was no large amount of funds deposited into Yao Fenfang's account, and basically all the deposits were in cash.
In those days, wages were basically paid in cash, which was then deposited manually at the bank. Once a certain amount was accumulated, it would be converted into a fixed deposit.
"Tang Xue is still the same as always, just nodding and shaking her head, not saying a word."
Qiao Jiali told about questioning Tang Xue.
Tang Xue admitted that she and Huang Chen had a premature love affair, and the time was about the same as what Huang Chen said.
But when Qiao Jiali asked her whether she had had sex with Huang Chen, Tang Xue nodded.
This confused Qiao Jiali. Did Huang Chen lie?
But when she thought about asking Tang Xue if she knew that having sex would lead to pregnancy, her reaction was to shake her head.
I wondered if she couldn't distinguish the boundaries of so-called sexual relationships, because according to Huang Chen, they had engaged in borderline sexual behavior.
So I asked her whether she had bleeding from her lower body when she had sex with Huang Chen.
This time, Tang Xue shook her head.
Sure enough, she couldn't tell the difference.
"Tang Xue basically confirmed everything Huang Chen said. But nodding and shaking her head all the time is not a solution. The information is too one-sided, and this form of interrogation and confession cannot play an effective legal role." Qiao Jiali said.
Zhou Yi nodded and asked yes or no. Since he was a minor student, the procuratorate would suspect that you were inducing a confession.
"Right now, we lack evidence to prove Yao Fenfang is lying. Once we have evidence, we can formally interrogate Tang Xue."
As long as it is proven that Yao Fenfang is lying, the police will have legitimate reasons to list Tang Xue as a criminal suspect. However, interrogation is not just questioning. A 17-year-old girl who is inexperienced in the world will basically be scared silly once she is handcuffed to a detention chair.
Soon, Shi Tao and his team came back one after another, and everyone sat down to summarize the information they had collected from their respective investigations.
He Bin found Yao Fenfang's ex-husband, Tang Xue's father Tang Jun, and Yao Fenfang's brother Yao Dazhi.
Tang Jun admitted that he divorced because of infidelity, but he was almost left with nothing, so he and his wife owed each other nothing.
As for why he didn't go to see his daughter Tang Xue, he said the responsibility lay entirely with the woman Yao Fenfang.
When he just got divorced, he would visit his daughter every once in a while, but every time he met Yao Fenfang, she would curse at him, and then the two would quarrel and part ways unhappily.
Over time, in order to avoid meeting Yao Fenfang, he didn't visit his daughter for almost two years.
When he went to see his daughter again, he found that his daughter Tang Xue was very cold towards him.
He Bin said, "He felt that Tang Xue's bad attitude towards him was all due to Yao Fenfang, and he didn't reflect on his own problems at all."
So he was completely clueless about Tang Xue's situation.
Then Yao Dazhi provided a piece of information about Yao Fenfang's personal emotional problems.
He said that at the end of last year, a relative introduced a man to Yao Fenfang. The man was three years older than her, worked as a carpenter, was widowed, and had a son in high school.
Yao Dazhi said his sister had been seeing this guy for a while and they seemed to be getting along pretty well. He had originally thought it would work out and was quite happy for his sister. After all, she had met the wrong person before, and it hadn't been easy raising a child all these years.
But not long ago, the brother and sister met when they were visiting their elderly mother in a nursing home. Yao Dazhi asked her when the matter could be settled, but Yao Fenfang said that she had no contact with that person anymore. When asked why, she said it was not suitable.
Zhou Yi asked, "When did they break up? You can find this person and ask him if he was with Yao Fenfang on the night of February 28th."
He Bin said, "We've already found this person and confirmed it. It was probably in late March when he went to the plastics factory to deliver food to Yao Fenfang. Yao Fenfang clearly told him it was inappropriate."
"Late March? That was after the Zhang Hui case was discovered. Yao Fenfang must have been frightened."
He Bin added, "And the other party said that the two of them had not yet reached the stage of sexual intercourse. Yao Fenfang's attitude towards this matter is quite conservative. Not only have they never spent the night alone, she has never let her over to her home, and she has never met Tang Xue."
In this case, the possibility that Yao Fenfang was not at home on February 28th was ruled out.
At this time, Shi Tao stood up, slammed something on the table, and said proudly: "Zhou Yi, this case still depends on your captain Shi. I have a major discovery here!"
