Chapter 384 Two Old Foxes
Fang Gexin arrived late, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a square face and a crew cut.
As soon as he saw the people waiting downstairs, he immediately walked towards Wu Yongcheng and apologized repeatedly: "Captain Wu, right? I'm Fang Gexin. Oh, I'm sorry, I took a call from the school leader and came in late."
"No, we came early. Director Fang was not late." Wu Yongcheng said with a smile.
"Come upstairs, let's talk. There are a lot of mosquitoes at night." Fang Gexin enthusiastically invited them to go upstairs to his office.
After entering the office, he pulled up a stool and poured water. After some pleasantries, Wu Yongcheng introduced the people on his side, saying that he would get to know them so that he wouldn't make a fool of himself when he bothered Director Fang later.
Fang Gexin kept praising him.
Zhou Yi saw through it. No wonder the school sent Director Fang to assist the police. This man's speech and behavior were quite sophisticated, and he spoke in an official tone.
The characteristic is that they seem very enthusiastic and approachable, but in fact they are not pragmatic.
As expected, he was the first to speak: "Captain Wu, has your municipal bureau confirmed that the deceased is a student from our school?"
"It's just a suspicion. Isn't this still under investigation? That's why we're bothering you through the Municipal Party Committee."
"Well, now that the higher-ups have spoken, we definitely have to do our job well, right? It's just... this kind of thing is actually quite taboo. After all, there are over 20,000 people in the entire school. Any little news would spread everywhere. If something so unconfirmed were to spread like this, it would probably cause even more trouble."
Wu Yongcheng said earnestly, "Director Fang is right. That's why we must hurry up and investigate. The sooner we get to the bottom of this, the sooner we can reassure people."
Zhou Yi was thinking that the school was not that simple. They were just trying to distance themselves from the matter and not let such a serious case be linked to the school.
That's why there are two old foxes testing each other.
Zhou Yi stood at the window with his arms folded across his chest, looking down from the fourth floor. Although he couldn't see very far, the grandeur of the night was still as quiet as ever.
The silence was somewhat solemn.
Wu Yongcheng knew that the other party was a master of Tai Chi, so he didn't intend to give the other party a chance to make a detour. He directly took out the list that Zhou Yi had made earlier and placed it in front of Fang Gexin.
"Director Fang, I understand your concerns. They're actually my concerns, too. You mentioned these students, but in our eyes, they're just children. Who wants to keep them awake and worrying? So, for now, all we need is the name list and the information. Until the deceased's identity is confirmed, I promise you to minimize contact with students and faculty. Start with the information first. And you can supervise us 24 hours a day."
Wu Yongcheng's words frightened Fang Gexin, who waved his hands repeatedly, "How can that be? The boss asked me to come here to supervise... Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, I was wrong. They asked me to come here to assist you."
He picked up the paper and looked at it. "These lists and information are fine. I'll arrange it and give it to you as soon as possible. As for the two people you want to interview, Gao Xiaofang is fine. I'll arrange it. But Teacher Xiao's leader..."
Fang Gexin put down the list and asked, "Can I ask why you're investigating Teacher Xiao?"
Wu Yongcheng didn't answer, but instead asked, "Director Fang, do you know anything about Teacher Xiao Bing?"
"Well... I'm not particularly familiar with this. After all, our Student Affairs Office is mainly for students."
Seeing Wu Yongcheng smiling but saying nothing, Fang Gexin said, trying to make amends, "How about this? I'll ask their department head tomorrow and arrange a meeting for you guys. How about that?"
"Not today?"
"Hey... Director Wang is old and not in good health. How about we do it tomorrow?"
"Okay, no problem. I'll follow Director Fang's arrangements." Wu Yongcheng said readily.
"Thank you, Captain Wu, for your understanding." Fang Gexin said with a smile.
"Is everything okay with the information and Gao Xiaofang today?" Wu Yongcheng asked with a smile.
Fang Gexin was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Your work intensity is quite high."
Zhou Yi looked at Director Fang, who obviously understood the leadership's thoughts better than the students and faculty, and suddenly thought of a question.
In people's subconscious, perhaps the filter they use for university is a bit too heavy.
This is not only an institution of higher education, but also a small human society.
Since it is a society, there must be both white and black.
Fang Gexin was obviously not the kind of cadre who would do the work himself. He made a phone call and called the staff member from the Student Affairs Office whom Wu Yongcheng and others had met during the day to come over and work overtime to organize the list and information for Wu Yongcheng and others. Then he sent someone to the girls' dormitory to find Gao Xiaofang for a talk.
Zhou Yi asked the school staff who went to the girls' dormitory to help keep an eye on the situation in dormitory 307, especially to see if Lu Xiaoshuang and Xu Liu appeared.
Theoretically, there is only one day off for Labor Day, and classes have to be held tomorrow. Most of the students who are out should have returned to school tonight.
But unfortunately, the staff who went to the girls' dormitory brought back Gao Xiaofang, but did not bring back the news that Lu Xiaoshuang and Xu Liu from Room 307 had returned.
Gao Xiaofang looked to be a tall girl with a large frame, medium-short hair, and dressed simply. She felt a little reserved following behind because the teacher from the Student Affairs Office did not explain the reason when he called her.
In order to prevent her from being too nervous, Fang Gexin suggested that it would be better to have fewer people involved in the conversation, but of course he himself had to be present.
So it was finally decided that Qiao Jiali would be responsible for the questioning, while Wu Yongcheng and Fang Gexin would watch from the side.
This is reasonable. Qiao Jiali is a policewoman, and since Fang Gexin is there, Wu Yongcheng must be there as well.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan were waiting outside, but Zhou Yi didn't plan to sit idle. He tried to get close to the teacher from the Student Affairs Office and said something nice, saying that so much information was heavy and he wanted to help him move it.
The teacher agreed without much thought and took them both to the archives room.
However, he also made it clear that the students' files are kept in the archives of their Student Affairs Office, but the files of faculty and staff are managed by the Personnel Office, and they probably won't be able to get them tonight. Even tomorrow, they'd better ask Director Fang for approval, otherwise the Personnel Office will definitely not give them to them.
Zhou Yi thought to himself, hey, why didn't Fang Gexin tell me such an important thing? As a leader, there's no way he wouldn't know about it. It seems like he probably did it on purpose.
Zhou Yi said casually, "Your Director Fang is very dedicated to his work."
The teacher sneered slightly and said nothing.
Zhou Yi understood.
Since the student information we are looking for is from the 1996 Financial Management major that Lu Xiaoshuang is in, they are all stored together and we just need to take them all out.
What was really time-consuming and laborious was copying the information of all 57 people.
Because the school does not allow them to take away original documents, they can only take copies.
But there was only one printer in the archives, so the sound of printing kept echoing in the room.
Zhou Yi flipped through the files one by one. The information was arranged according to student numbers, and soon he came to Mo Youyou.
The next one is Lu Xiaoshuang’s.
Looking at the name on the file bag, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his mind seemed to go blank.
Because the last time I saw this file bag with Lu Xiaoshuang's name on it was also in the archives room.
It was just in the archives room of the provincial capital. At that time, nineteen years had passed since the Hongda case occurred.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yan, who was helping to make copies, asked when he found that Zhou Yi was motionless.
"Oh, it's okay." Zhou Yi came back to his senses and continued to flip through the pages.
After flipping through a few more copies, I came across Xu Liu's file.
Zhou Yi took out this file separately. The top page was a large student management card with the student's basic information and ID photo.
As can be seen from the ID photo, Xu Liu has delicate features and long hair. Although she looks a bit rustic in the photo, her beauty cannot be concealed.
In the column of native place, it is written as Huaixing City, Jiangbei Province.
"Huaixing...why does it sound so familiar..." Zhou Yi thought about it, but couldn't remember it for a while. His mind was a little confused these two days.
I continued to read and found nothing special. The specific registered address was in a local town.
As expected, you can't tell anything just by looking at the information, because qualifications are the most basic and objective information statistics, which cannot reveal a person's personality traits, let alone his daily behavior experience.
After they finished copying all the information about the 1996 financial management major and returned to the student affairs office, they found that Wu Yongcheng and his team had already finished their questions and Captain Wu was drawing the Daqianmen.
"Captain Wu, so fast?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised.
Wu Yongcheng shook his head. "There's not much useful information. Gao Xiaofang said that she and Xu Liu were indeed very close at first. Although they didn't study the same major, they were both from Huaixing, so they were naturally close. But that was only during the first semester. After that, the two of them became more distant. She said that Xu Liu always claimed that his family was well-off and always acted in a condescending manner when they were together. This made her feel very uncomfortable, so they interacted less and less."
Zhou Yi frowned and asked, "What do you call yourself?"
Wu Yongcheng smiled, cigarette between his teeth, "You always get the point, kid. True, Xu Liu's family situation is mostly her own story. But Gao Xiaofang said that the county where Xu Liu's family lives is a poor one in Huaixing."
Poor counties do not mean that there are no rich people, but the problem is that the country only began to establish a poverty alleviation system for poor counties in 1986. The spring breeze of reform and opening up and market economy in 1997 was basically difficult to blow to poor counties, allowing a very small number of people to become rich, so the probability is relatively small.
More importantly, the contact number column in Xu Liu's academic records is blank, which means that her family has no phone, which is really hard to associate with being rich.
"It's okay. Contact the police in Huaixing tomorrow and ask them to visit Xu Liu's house and investigate."
"Yeah." Zhou Yi nodded.
At this time, the phone in Wu Yongcheng's pocket rang.
He took out the cigarette and looked at it, then said, "It's Biaozi. Did he make some important discovery?"
"Hey, Biaozi, what's going on? Tell me."
Jiang Biao's voice came from the phone: "Captain Wu, there's something. I'm not sure if it's related to our case. The Xinbei Town Police Station said that a young woman was found in an abandoned mine in the area."
Zhou Yi snatched the phone and asked impatiently, "Brother Biao, is that Lu Xiaoshuang?"
"I'm not sure. The local police said the man was still alive when he was rescued, but he was unconscious. We can't confirm his identity. He has now been sent to the county hospital."
