Chapter 423 As long as she lives well
Zhou Yi immediately thought of Qin Beihai's son Qin Feng.
In fact, Qin Feng and I are only three-quarters similar.
They are similar in height, physique and outline, but there is actually a big difference in facial features.
But the reason why the old couple Qin felt that they were similar was mainly because their own original background and experience made up for Qin Feng's regrets, so they put all the emotions they had for their son into themselves.
But Lu Xiaoshuang and Dong Lu are about 60% similar in appearance alone.
The same face shape, big bright and lively eyes, but Lu Xiaoshuang's nose is smaller and the curve of the corners of her mouth when she smiles is fuller, but this is enough to make Zhou Yi feel dazed.
If he and Lu Xiaoshuang were not familiar with each other, and someone showed him this photo of Dong Lu and told him that this was what Lu Xiaoshuang looked like when she was fifteen years old, Zhou Yi would believe it.
Because there is a difference between fifteen and nineteen, as fifteen-year-olds are not fully grown yet.
He exchanged glances with Chen Yan, fearing that his subjective judgment might be wrong.
But Chen Yan nodded at him knowingly, which meant that from his perspective as an observer, he also thought that the two looked alike.
Besides the similarity in appearance, there may be another similarity, which is self-reliance.
It can even be said that Dong Lu is worse off than Lu Xiaoshuang in this regard.
Because after she turns 18, the healthy Dong Lu will have to leave the orphanage. Whether she gets into college or goes out to work, she has to support herself.
Just like the boy named Gao Fei that Zhou Yi met when he came to the welfare home last time.
Judging from the literary books and videotapes in the basement, it is highly likely that Dong Lu continued his studies.
That means she has to work while studying to pay for tuition and living expenses.
This is the same as Lu Xiaoshuang.
But at least Lu Xiaoshuang has her parents far away in the northwest who can cover part of her tuition.
But Dong Lu has no one to rely on.
She should be Xiao Bing whom I met during college, after all, they are only one year apart.
Two people who share the same suffering rely on each other.
But for some unknown reason, Dong Lu was accidentally severely burned, and Xiao Bing kept her in the basement of his own home.
From then on, Dong Lu, a carefree person, disappeared from this world.
Later, Dong Lu escaped from the dual pain of body and mind and developed a new personality. This personality believed that he was born on the day of Frost Descent and named himself Xiaoshuang.
In other words, to a certain extent, there are two people who have lived with Xiao Bing for many years, one is Dong Lu and the other is Xiao Shuang.
Then, until last year, a girl who looked 70% like Dong Lu before she was disfigured walked into the grand school gate.
Moreover, this girl was also born on the day of Frost Descent, and was also named Xiaoshuang. Just like Dong Lu back then, she even went to school and worked part-time to make a living.
In Xiao Bing's eyes, this is probably the best substitute for the Dong Lu in his memory.
Zhou Yi told President Hu that we might have to take this information first and return it after we have used it.
Dean Hu said it was no problem.
Then Zhou Yi asked again: "Director Hu, do you know anyone in our welfare home who might have seen Dong Lu before?"
Dean Hu thought for a moment and said, "How about I give you an address and you can go find the old dean?"
Zhou Yi immediately thanked him, because there was no one more suitable than the old dean. The information just looking at the information was too limited, and he had to find someone directly related to ask.
Dean Hu immediately wrote an address for the two of them and gave it to them.
Before leaving, Dean Hu smiled and said, "Officer Zhou, there's something I want to ask you. I'm not sure if this is the right time to bring it up."
"It's okay, Dean Hu, just tell us what you think. We'll do our best to help you in any way we can."
"It's not a big deal. Xu Xinxin has been asking several times when Big Sister will come to see her again. Since you guys are here, I just wanted to mention it."
Zhou Yi glanced back at the photo wall and said, "Dean Hu, tell Xu Xinxin that her elder sister will come to see her soon, and ask her to be obedient."
After leaving the welfare home, Chen Yan looked at the address on the note and hit the road.
It would probably take more than half an hour to get to the old dean's house from here.
On the way, Chen Yan couldn't help but say, "Zhou Yi, this is too coincidental, Dong Lu and Lu Xiaoshuang really look alike."
"Yeah, this is really unexpected."
This is a clue that has never been found in the previous life. This is the first time that the existence of Dong Lu has appeared.
"Do you think these things are related to the Hongda case? Although it is a coincidence, it seems that they have nothing to do with the Hongda case now?" Chen Yan said.
Zhou Yi lowered his head in thought. Yes, although they were following Dong Lu's lead in the investigation, it now seemed that neither Xiao Bing nor Dong Lu seemed to have anything to do with this grand dismemberment case.
Is it really just a completely unrelated coincidence?
"No, it won't be that simple." Zhou Yi murmured softly, "This connection must be somehow related to Hongda, and it may even be crucial."
Zhou Yi's detective instinct from two lifetimes told him!
On the way, Zhou Yi contacted Xiang Jie and Qiao Jiali respectively.
Xiang Jie said that he had reported the matter to Liang Wei, but Liang Wei was more conservative about using the media because releasing the information that the two suspects, Xiao Bing and Dong Lu, were on the run could easily cause social panic. After all, the extent of the dismemberment in this case had reached an incredible level.
Liang Wei will discuss this with his superiors, but Xiang Jie said that Captain Liang has asked him to transfer more personnel to assist Jiang Biao in the search, and his attitude is self-evident.
Another point is that, up to now, the name Dong Lu has not been found in the list of Hong University students of Xiao Bing's class, or the class before and after.
The situation on Qiao Jiali's side was similar. The name Dong Lu was not found in the criminal case, nor was a matching arson case found.
She is investigating civil cases. If there are no civil cases, then she can only investigate non-litigation cases.
In other words, the cases were ultimately resolved through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, and did not reach the stage of being submitted to court.
If not, we can only ask the grassroots police stations to check the police records of each household.
Because generally speaking, after confirming suicide, the police will not file a case, but will issue an "Unnatural Death Certificate" for the family to use to handle subsequent cremation procedures.
In the Anyuan case, Fan Zhongliang took advantage of this loophole and fabricated the crime of murdering his wife, turning it into a legal death.
The main thing is that we don’t know when Dong Lu had the accident and where it happened. Otherwise, we could directly contact the local police station for a targeted investigation.
Zhou Yi said, "Sister Qiao, don't worry. Wait for our news. I think the old director of the welfare home should know something."
After all, Dong Lu has the same surname as her, and even her name was chosen by her.
Soon, Chen Yan found his destination, a small self-built building with its own entrance and exit.
The building is surrounded by a fence and many crops are planted in the yard. The building is quite old and the outer walls are mottled, covered with time and ivy.
As soon as the two stopped the car outside the yard, an old lady wearing a straw hat who was bending over to weed in the yard straightened up and looked over.
After asking, the two of them confirmed that the old lady with glasses and silver hair was the previous director of the welfare home.
Zhou Yi got straight to the point and took out Dong Lu's photo and asked, "Old Dean, do you still remember this person?"
The old lady adjusted her glasses, took the photo, looked at it and said, "Isn't this Xiaolu?"
Sure enough, I found the right person. After so many years, the old lady recognized him at a glance.
Zhou Yi quickly asked about Dong Lu's situation after she became an adult.
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "I remember... Xiaolu studied at a normal school."
"Teacher's College?"
"Hongcheng Normal College?"
Compared with prefecture-level cities of the same level, Hongcheng has an absolute advantage in educational resources, mainly due to the existence of Hongda, which has driven the development of Hongcheng's education system.
This is also the reason why the city is paying so much attention to the grand case.
Hongcheng has three undergraduate colleges and three higher vocational colleges.
In addition to Hongda, there is also Hongcheng Broadcasting College where Ding Chunmei studied, and a teachers' college.
Of course, the latter two are both ordinary second-tier universities, but in the 1980s and 1990s, their value was still extremely high.
In other words, although Dong Lu's life may be hard, as long as she can graduate from university, her future will be bright.
I graduated from a normal college in the late 1980s and was able to teach in a high school right after graduation, which was enough to beat 90% of the people in this city.
It is no exaggeration to say that after all the hard work comes happiness.
After the old dean confirmed the school, Chen Yan immediately went to the side to call Xiang Jie and told him not to focus on Hongda's information anymore, but to go to Hongcheng Normal University instead.
When Chen Yan came back after the call, the old dean had already started talking about Dong Lu in response to Zhou Yi's questioning.
She said that Dong Lu was very sensible since she was a child. Not only was she a good student, she was also very optimistic and cheerful. When she was seven or eight years old, she started helping to take care of children, changing diapers for her younger brothers and sisters, and teaching them to eat and dress themselves. She was like a little parent.
As the old lady spoke, a smile of relief involuntarily appeared on the corners of her mouth.
"Xiaolu is such a sensible child. When she was little, she clearly had the chance to be adopted because she was pretty, like a porcelain doll. But every time a kind-hearted couple came to the orphanage, she would deliberately make trouble and disobey. So, every time someone else was chosen and adopted."
"At the time, I thought she was just a show-off. I even scolded her once, but she burst into tears and said, 'If I'm chosen, other children won't have the chance to have a new father or mother.'" The old lady took off her glasses, wiped her tears with the back of her rough hand, and sighed, "This child is so sensible, always thinking of others."
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Then she grew up and started school. When she reached primary school age, the possibility of being adopted was very small, so she stayed in the orphanage until she was ready for college."
"With the Gaokao coming up and the time to fill out her application, she came to ask me which university she wanted to attend and what major she wanted to study in," the old lady said, putting her glasses back on. "Actually, Xiaolu's grades are really good, and she could definitely get into Hongda. But realistically, she can't afford Hongda's tuition and living expenses, and the academy can't help her with that. After all, our funds are tight, and we're spending the people's money, so every penny has to be spent carefully."
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.
After the market economy emerged, a small group of people became rich through business, and then people began to do charity and private donations began to take place.
Before this, the funds approved by higher authorities were used to maintain the operating costs of such social welfare units, and it was indeed as the old dean said, stretched to the limit.
"So I told her that she could try to apply for a teacher training program. After all, teacher training programs are free of tuition."
This is true. Dong Lu took the Gaokao in 1984. At that time, normal colleges, as an important base for training teachers, usually had tuition subsidized by the government, so students basically didn't have to pay tuition. Most colleges even provided living allowances, such as food subsidies and scholarships.
Doing so is a far-sighted policy move by the country. By reducing the financial burden on students' families, it will train a large number of basic education teachers for the country.
Because only education can strengthen the country and plan for its future.
This is the foundation of the country!
So the old dean’s suggestion is very good, and it is indeed the best way out for Dong Lu’s situation.
"I also told her that another advantage of studying at a normal school is that after graduation, you will be assigned a job, which will provide you with a stable and secure life."
In fact, in the 1980s, university graduates were basically guaranteed jobs. After all, college students at that time were synonymous with elite talents, and many enterprises and institutions were vying for them.
This is especially true for teachers. After all, the population is growing, and the richness and diversity of subject content require more new teachers.
Of course, if you don't like the assigned job, you can resign and change jobs. However, the probability of this happening in teacher training programs is much lower than in other programs. Many university graduates who graduate from teacher training programs continue to work as educators until retirement.
The situation of guaranteed job assignment was not replaced by voluntary employment until the 1990s, when it was gradually replaced by the development of the market economy.
For example, Lu Xiaoshuang was from the class of 1996 and graduated at the turn of the millennium. At that time, except for students with special majors, most people chose their own jobs.
However, even if they choose their own jobs, college students around the millennium had no trouble finding jobs, let alone at a key university like Hongda.
Unlike twenty years later, academic qualifications have depreciated and large numbers of college graduates are unemployed.
"Actually... I could tell she was a little disappointed, since her grades were so good after all. But that's life; nothing always goes as planned. She eventually listened to me and applied to the local teachers' college, and she was successfully admitted."
"Have you seen her since she went to college?" Chen Yan asked.
The old lady said, "Yes, I see her often. After she went to college, she came back to the welfare home almost every weekend to volunteer and teach the children how to read, write and draw."
"So doesn't she usually work part-time or something?"
"It seems... not really. I'm not entirely sure. She said she gets a food allowance at school, and her teacher helped her get textbook and tuition waivers, and she also gets a scholarship every year. She shouldn't have any financial difficulties, after all, she even uses her scholarship to buy gifts for the children."
Zhou Yi nodded, which showed how correct the old dean's choice was. Teacher education was indeed the best choice for Dong Lu.
If she had gone to Hongda, she would probably have fallen into the same predicament as Lu Xiaoshuang, struggling for tuition and living expenses.
Or, become like Xu Liu, sell yourself and accept support from men.
Of course, considering the gap in admission scores between Hongda and Hongcheng Normal University, Dong Lu had no choice but to do so.
"So, did Dong Lu graduate successfully?" Dong Lu took the college entrance examination in 1984, and theoretically should have graduated in 1988.
The old lady nodded and said, "She should have graduated. I remember she went to a middle school for an internship in the second semester of her senior year."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly. What does "should" mean?
"Old Dean, when was the last time you met Dong Lu?"
A trace of loneliness flashed in the old lady's eyes behind her glasses: "Oh, I can't remember. I just remember that she didn't come back for a long time after she went to internship."
The old lady used the word "come back", which shows that in her eyes, Dong Lu is the child who left home.
"She's working now, and she's busy, I know. The last time... it was probably the first year after graduation. It happened to be her birthday, and her boyfriend even bought her a cake and came home with her. I asked her how work was going, if her students were listening, and if her boss was treating her well. She just kept smiling and told me everything was fine."
When Zhou Yi and Chen Yan heard this, they asked, "Boyfriend?"
He hurriedly asked, "Old Dean, have you met Dong Lu's boyfriend?"
"Yes, I have seen him. He's a fair-skinned young man wearing glasses. He's a little taller than Xiaolu."
"Do you know her boyfriend's name?"
"Oh, I really forgot about that. Xiaolu did introduce it to you," the old lady said. "I remember I took a photo of it. I still have it. How about I go get it for you?"
"Thank you for your help."
The old lady took off her straw hat, walked into the house, and climbed up the stairs with difficulty.
Zhou Yi told Chen Yan, "Dong Lu graduated in 1988, and in 1991, Xiao Bing took her to see Director Sun for psychiatric treatment. Director Sun said her burns had stabilized by then."
"I remember Xiao Bing's grandmother passed away in April 1990. Before that, Xiao Bing promised to bring his girlfriend home, but he didn't."
"The old dean said that the last time he saw Dong Lu was on her birthday the year after graduation, which was in October of 1989."
"That means Dong Lu's burns probably occurred between the end of 1989 and the beginning of 1990."
Chen Yan nodded in agreement and said that he would call Sister Qiao and tell her the time range.
Although we cannot pinpoint the exact police station, there is a clear time range, which makes it easier to check.
Chen Yan went to make a phone call. Zhou Yi felt a little strange about Dong Lu's reaction when faced with concern, as mentioned earlier by the old dean.
This kind of thing just smiled and then gave a general answer that everything was fine, which didn't sound like something Dong Lu would say to the old dean.
To Dong Lu, the old dean is like her father and mother, the closest person to her in the world.
This kind of reaction of smiling and saying everything is fine is usually used to deal with people who are not very close, and it has an obviously perfunctory attitude.
But Dong Lu couldn't be perfunctory to the old dean, especially since she had brought Xiao Bing back.
Unless... this is not perfunctory, but a cover-up. There is some reason that requires Dong Lu to cover up when facing the old dean's questions.
I started my internship in the second half of my senior year. Did something happen at school?
After Chen Yan finished the call, the old dean also came down from the stairs, holding a photo in his hand and handed it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi thanked him and took it.
There are three people in the photo.
The one in the middle is the old dean from that time. He was fatter than he is now, and his hair was more black than white.
The old dean was wearing a birthday hat made of cardboard and in front of him was a cream cake with several lighted candles on it.
"This child insisted that I blow out the candles and make a wish, and even gave me her hat to wear." The old lady said with a nostalgic smile, but there was a hint of loneliness in her smile.
On the left of the old dean was a young girl with a ponytail and wearing a pink sweater. She was hugging the old dean affectionately and smiling happily.
Zhou Yi was dazed for a moment. Dong Lu in the photo should be 22 years old at this time. She really looked like Lu Xiaoshuang, 80% similar.
On the right side of the old dean, the young Xiao Bing stood beside him with a smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Dong Lu.
The old lady pointed at the photo and said, "This young man is Xiaolu's boyfriend. Xiaolu said he was a teacher at Hongda. I was so happy at that time. I thought it was great. A university teacher and a high school teacher will support each other in the future. This child can finally have a happy life after all the hardships."
"Old Dean, have you never seen Dong Lu again since this incident?"
The old lady shook her head.
"What about calling or writing a letter?"
"Ah..." The old lady sighed, "I guess she's just too busy with work. It's been almost ten years now, she and this young man should have started a family by now, and their children should be in elementary school by now."
The old lady's long sigh made Zhou Yi and Chen Yan feel very heavy.
To the old dean, Dong Lu was like her own child. After she grew up, she suddenly disappeared without a trace. She didn't even tell her about important events like getting married and having children. Anyone would be sad and disappointed.
But they knew part of the truth. It was not that Dong Lu didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
It was probably shortly after that that Dong Lu had an accident and later lived in the basement of Xiao Bing's house and suffered from serious mental illness.
The old lady said slowly, "It's good not to contact her. We should always look forward to the future. As long as she is doing well now, that's enough."
Why……
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan looked at each other and decided to hide their purpose of coming today.
Sure enough, the old lady came to her senses and asked Xiaolu what was wrong and whether something had happened.
Zhou Yi said that there was a case that was somewhat related to her, so he wanted to understand the situation. It was just a routine investigation and told her not to be nervous.
Then after asking some detailed questions, the two borrowed the photo from the old lady.
On the way back to the task force, Xiang Jie called and provided a new investigation location, which was the middle school where Dong Lu was assigned after graduation.
After receiving Chen Yan's call, Xiang Jie immediately sent someone to Hongcheng Normal University.
With the name and year of admission, it was much easier to search, and I soon found Dong Lu's name on the list of Chinese majors of the 1984 class.
It was not so fast to find out about Dong Lu's situation during college, but in order not to delay the progress of the investigation, the person sent there first found out the information about the school where Dong Lu had interned in his senior year and was assigned after graduation, and told Xiang Jie.
This school is Kaiping No. 3 Middle School. Kaiping was still a county back then.
On the phone, Xiang Jie said, "I just got the news too. I haven't had time to check the specific address of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School yet."
Chen Yan, who was driving, heard the call and replied, "Officer Xiang, there's no need to check. I know Kaiping No. 3 Middle School."
"Really? That's great."
"This Kaiping No. 3 Middle School is gone." Chen Yan's words shocked Xiang Jie and also stunned Zhou Yi.
"No more?"
"I remember it was around 1990, due to planning and construction issues in Kaiping District, Kaiping No. 3 Middle School was merged into Kaiping No. 1 Middle School. I know where No. 1 Middle School is. Let's go there now."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi casually asked, "Is there such a thing? I haven't heard of it before."
Chen Yan said, "What a coincidence! There's a teacher in our high school who came from Kaiping No. 3 Middle School. He told us this himself."
The two of them rushed to Kaiping No. 1 Middle School without stopping, found the director of the Academic Affairs Office, and explained their purpose.
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office touched his shiny forehead and said, "Dong Lu, we don't seem to have a teacher with that name here."
"Not now, but after graduating from the Teachers College in 1988, when I entered No. 3 Middle School."
"In 1988... or No. 3 Middle School... hiss... I'm afraid this is difficult to check." The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office said embarrassedly.
Chen Yan said, "Why? Didn't No. 3 Middle School merge into your No. 1 Middle School in 1990? It was only two years later."
"Comrades, it's not that I'm uncooperative with you, it's just that it's really difficult to investigate. When No. 3 Middle School merged with us, things were quite chaotic, and a lot of information was lost. If the teacher you're looking for, Dong Lu, wasn't at No. 3 Middle School before the merger, then I'm afraid the information is really lost. We had to re-collect a lot of the information for the teachers who came from No. 3 Middle School."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked, "When No. 3 Middle School merged with us, were there any leaders who knew about the situation, such as the principal of No. 3 Middle School? We can ask him."
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office smiled helplessly and said, "I'm afraid you can't ask that."
"Why? This person died?"
"Not really, but he's already in." The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office poked his finger into the air.
If he goes to jail, he will naturally go to prison.
"What crime did you commit? How many years was your sentence?"
"How would I know how many years he was sentenced? I'm from No. 1 Middle School. The principal of No. 3 Middle School was imprisoned before the merger. I don't know the specific circumstances, but I heard it was for rape."
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan immediately exchanged glances. Rape? Could it be...
After asking some more questions, I found that the director really didn't understand the situation.
He also called two colleagues and asked them if they remembered a teacher named Dong Lu who transferred from No. 3 Middle School.
The other two teachers shook their heads. One of them said that when No. 3 Middle School was merged, there were actually not many teachers accepted.
The main reason was that the Hongcheng government did not do a good job in planning Kaiping District. They had previously changed the county into a district with such fanfare and expanded the corresponding scales of other areas. However, the development of the new district was not ideal and a large number of people were lost. At that time, the number of students in No. 1 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School was not full, so the Education Bureau decided to merge them.
At that time, many teachers were transferred to various middle schools across the city, so they were very scattered.
In addition, due to the scandal involving the previous principal of No. 3 Middle School, the management and teaching quality before the merger plummeted.
After coming out of Kaiping No. 1 Middle School, before returning to the car, Zhou Yi immediately took out his cell phone to call Qiao Jiali.
Ask her to investigate the case of the principal of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School being imprisoned to see if it is related to Dong Lu.
While I was dialing, Qiao Jiali called.
"Sister Qiao, we just happened to have something to talk to you about."
"Zhou Yi, I found a case related to Dong Lu."
"Is it a rape case?"
Qiao Jiali on the other end of the phone asked in surprise, "You guys found out too?"
Zhou Yi's heart sank. "I just got a clue. Is the rapist the principal of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School?"
"Yes, it was Xin Yunfei, the then-principal of Kaiping No. 3 Middle School. He was arrested on June 16, 1988, on suspicion of raping Dong Lu, a female intern teacher at the school, and was ultimately sentenced to eight years in prison. Xin Yunfei was released from prison in 1996, and his current whereabouts are unknown."
Qiao Jiali's words put the matter to rest.
No wonder Zhou Yi had no impression of it. Although rape was a criminal case, it was not a homicide case, so the case file was not synchronized to the provincial capital.
This case should have been handled by the Kaiping Branch at that time.
Qiao Jiali also added some details.
At the end of February 1988, Dong Lu went to Kaiping No. 3 Middle School to start her internship according to the school's assignment.
Since Dong Lu started her internship at the school, Xin Yunfei has shown special care and enthusiasm for her. Since Kaiping No. 3 Middle School is located in a remote area and commuting is inconvenient, Xin Yunfei specially approved a single teacher dormitory for Dong Lu to live in.
The rape crime finally occurred in this single dormitory.
From the time Dong Lu started her internship at the school to the time the case occurred, a total of only three and a half months passed.
At the beginning, Xin Yunfei was relatively restrained in his criminal desires. He took advantage of his position to often call Dong Lu to his office to talk with her and took the opportunity to have physical contact with her.
Later, he became more and more rampant. He often went to the faculty dormitory building after school, forced his way into Dong Lu's dormitory under various pretexts, and harassed her verbally and physically.
This included describing the misfortunes of her marriage, the depression and pain of not having sex for a long time, and using excuses such as feeling unwell to lie on Dong Lu's bed and refuse to leave.
According to the case confession records, Dong Lu tactfully told Xin Yunfei many times that she already had a boyfriend and hoped that he could respect himself.
But Xin Yunfei turned a deaf ear and his behavior became more and more excessive.
The most serious incident was when Dong Lu found out that she had lost a pair of underwear after Xin Yunfei came. Xin Yunfei denied it flatly and taught her in a sanctimonious manner that she was so young and shouldn't make accusations. If she had the ability, she should produce evidence.
Dong Lu cried and said that if he continued to be so shameless, she would go to the Education Bureau to sue him.
This incident happened in mid-May. Since then, Xin Yunfei never went to the staff dormitory to find Dong Lu again. However, Dong Lu said that she had repeatedly encountered obstacles during her internship and was targeted and bullied in various ways. It was obvious that this was instigated by the principal Xin Yunfei.
At this time, the disadvantages of the teacher training profession emerged.
Although there is guaranteed job assignment after graduation, and most people can stay after a normal internship.
But precisely because jobs are assigned, it means that graduates have no other choice and have to work wherever they are assigned.
If you give up on your own, it is highly unlikely that you will get a second chance.
Of course, you can go through the social recruitment route after graduation, but within the education system at that time, this possibility was relatively low.
So even though Dong Lu was troubled and miserable, she could do nothing but swallow her anger. After all, if she really went to the Education Bureau to file a complaint, she would have no evidence.
Fortunately, after that incident, that bastard Xin Yunfei stopped doing anything.
It was not until the evening of June 16th that Xin Yunfei suddenly appeared in the faculty dormitory.
Dong Lu said that she refused to let him into the house, but he forced his way in under the pretext of discussing her regularization.
Then Xin Yunfei shamelessly proposed a deal, saying that he had taken a liking to Dong Lu since the first day she came to school. If she wanted to become a regular employee and stay, she had to be his lover. Not only would he make her a regular employee, he would also give her money every month and rent her a house outside. He also promised that as long as she followed him, he would support her in getting a promotion and a raise, and that in three years she would be able to achieve a path that she could not achieve in twenty years.
Xin Yunfei also threatened her that if she refused, not only would she not be able to become a regular employee at No. 3 Middle School, he also guaranteed that no school in Hongcheng would hire her because he would write the worst comments on her internship record and let this internship report stay in her file for the rest of her life.
He also said that he had checked her information and knew that she was an orphan, had no parents, and no one would support her.
Just when Xin Yunfei thought he had already won, Dong Lu gritted his teeth and said: Even if I have to beg for food, even if I starve to death, I will never succumb to the tyranny of you, a beast in human form.
This sentence completely enraged Xin Yunfei. In a rage, he beat and raped Dong Lu violently.
Dong Lu's crying and struggling attracted the attention of other teachers in the dormitory, and Xin Yunfei was eventually caught in the act.
After examination, it was found that in addition to being raped, Dong Lu also suffered first-degree minor injuries in this case.
The investigation process of the public security organs went very smoothly because not only did they catch the criminals and the evidence, but there were also a large number of eyewitnesses.
After the investigation was completed, the case was transferred to the procuratorate, and Xin Yunfei was subsequently sentenced to eight years in prison.
This is the entire process of the case. As for Dong Lu’s whereabouts after the case was over, it is not recorded in the case file.
Zhou Yi and Chen Yan were sitting in the car. After listening to Qiao Jiali's description of the case, their mood plummeted.
Because this case is full of helplessness and injustice, it is impossible to imagine the pain and fear that Dong Lu went through during that period, and it is even more impossible to imagine her despair and fear when facing such a beast in human form.
After Zhou Yi hung up the phone, he took out the photo that the old dean had given him.
This photo was taken in October 1988, which means that the rape had occurred four months ago.
Looking at this photo again, Zhou Yi didn't know if it was because his mood had changed after he learned about the rape case, but he always felt that there was a sadness in the expressions of Dong Lu and Xiao Bing in the photo.
This kind of thing, no matter what era it happens, will cause huge harm to the victim. It's impossible to get over it so quickly in just four months.
So when the old dean asked her about her work situation, she could only give a perfunctory answer because she couldn't tell the truth.
Finally, I found a few pieces of the puzzle about Xiao Bing and Dong Lu.
But similarly, the clues were interrupted here, because neither the rape case files nor the school's information contained any information about Dong Lu's subsequent situation.
Where did she go and what did she do after the rape?
There is no clue at the moment.
It is also unknown how she and Xiao Bing met and how they got together.
More importantly, after being raped, even greater suffering awaited her.
How did she get burned and become like this?
Was it an accident, or was someone dragging her into the endless abyss with his evil claws?
Zhou Yi looked at the sky. Another day was about to pass and night was falling.
Zhou Yi suddenly discovered that after his rebirth, he seemed to be too accustomed to solving cases in a short period of time.
The current grand case, more than ten days have passed, and it is like a quagmire that makes him unable to move fast and makes his steps difficult.
…
Daguan Street is as bustling as usual.
As night fell, the shops on both sides of the street lit up their lights and lit their stoves, and the sounds of cooking could be heard one after another.
There were people coming and going, it was very lively, it seemed that the police's late-night search not long ago did not cause any impact on the surrounding area.
However, many people used the dismemberment of the Hong University student as a topic of conversation at the dinner table, sharing the "inside information" they heard from some friends.
No one noticed that a figure was sticking to the wall and walking forward in the darkness along the edge illuminated by the fireworks of the world.
If someone passes by, the figure will walk faster like a frightened cat.
Then he skillfully turned into an alley and walked quickly through the alley without street lights.
Soon, the figure stopped in front of a dark bungalow.
The figure reached into his arms and fumbled for a while, then took off a rope from his neck with two keys hanging on it.
The figure skillfully inserted a key into the keyhole on the door, then turned it, and the door opened.
The man slipped in silently through the crack and immediately closed the door.
But what the figure didn't notice was that after it closed, two broken seals were floating on the door.
The figure entered the house without turning on the light. Instead, he walked skillfully to the door of the inner room, opened the door a crack, and then went in.
The sound of a figure's rapid breathing echoed in the dead silent air.
After entering the inner room, the figure walked to the base of the wall, groped for a while, then dug his ten fingers into the narrow gap between the floor tiles and opened the entrance to the basement.
The man climbed down carefully and reached out to carefully close the lid connected to the floor tile.
In the cold basement, a figure walked to the iron bed, sat down first, and then slowly lay down.
In the pitch-black darkness, the figure slowly curled up into a ball on the bed.
In the basement, the originally rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
Finally, it blended into the dead silence.
