"You said you didn't instigate Lu Changyong to deal with Li Xiaoyu and help you settle the score, but Lu Changyong didn't say that." Xiao Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Siyu.
Zhao Siyu's face turned even paler. She pinched the seam of her trousers and tried to stay calm.
"I really didn't ask him to go find Li Xiaoyu. If he says I asked him to go, he must be lying."
"He's a bad student at school who often bullies other students. You can't trust what he says."
Xiao Zhao looked at Zhao Siyu. Lu Changyong didn't offer her up, but she still said this to him.
If Lu Changyong knew what Zhao Siyu said to him, he didn't know whether he would regret it.
"But aren't you and him on good terms? I heard you guys flirt with each other all the time."
Zhao Siyu bit her lower lip and denied it. "I don't have a good relationship with him, and I haven't flirted with him. He likes me and keeps pestering me. I'm so annoyed with him that I'm dying of him."
"It's better if you catch him. Then I won't have to be bothered by him anymore." Zhao Siyu said and swallowed dryly with a guilty conscience.
Zhao Siyu's psychological quality is still quite strong. No matter how Xiao Zhao and the others questioned her, she insisted that this matter had nothing to do with her and she did not ask Lu Changyong to do anything.
If Lu Changyong said anything, it was just nonsense, trying to shift the blame.
There was no evidence in Lu Changyong and Haozi's testimonies that Zhao Siyi had instigated the incident, so after finding nothing out of the interrogation, Zhao said to her, "That's enough, you can go back."
Zhao Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had passed this hurdle.
But Xiao Zhao's next words made her heart rise again.
"We will continue to investigate this matter."
Zhao Siyu clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.
The police will continue to investigate whether this incident is related to her, and she will never be able to rest in peace.
Since the police let her go back, it proves that Lu Changyong did not give her up at all.
Otherwise, they would not have let her go just because of her repeated denials, and would not have taken her to the Public Security Bureau to confront Lu Changyong.
But if they don't close the case and continue the investigation, who can guarantee that Lu Changyong will not change his confession later?
"Okay, go back to the classroom and attend class." Teacher Cheng said to Zhao Siyu.
Zhao Siyu bowed politely to Teacher Cheng and the two police officers before turning around and leaving the teacher's office.
When she stepped into the classroom, morning reading had just ended and the students were still having a break.
Seeing her come back, they all looked at her with different expressions, surprised that she actually came back.
"Siyu, are you okay?" Wang Meng looked at her and asked.
Zhao Siyu walked down and sat down in her seat, shrugged her shoulders and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"What did the police ask you?" The boy sitting behind Zhao Siyu looked at her curiously and asked.
Zhao Siyu shrugged and said, "It's about Lu Changyong's affairs. I don't know if someone said something to the police uncle, making them think that this matter has something to do with me, so the police uncle came to question me."
Li Xiaoyu raised her head and glanced at Zhao Siyu.
The students also knew that the "some people" she was talking about were Li Xiaoyu, and they all glanced at Li Xiaoyu.
"But after questioning by the police, it was proven that this matter had nothing to do with me. I am innocent, so they let me come back to continue my classes."
Zhao Siyu said these words without blushing or panting, and she did return to class safely, so the students believed her words a little.
Zheng Qingqing squinted at Zhao Siyu and whispered to Li Xiaoyu, "This matter is 100% related to Zhao Siyu. The police questioned her and then asked her to come back. It must be because she refused to admit it, and Lu Changyong didn't give her up."
Li Xiaoyu nodded, sharing the same idea as Zheng Qingqing.
"She actually had the nerve to imply that you said something to the police uncle and framed her. It's really funny." Zheng Qingqing sneered.
Isn't this just the thief crying "stop thief"?
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The bell rang and the discussions in the classroom gradually faded away.
After school on Saturday, Li Xiaoyu rode her bicycle back to the Li family's house.
When I got home, I told my grandparents about the thrilling two-on-nine battle between me and my brother.
After hearing this, Mr. Li clapped his hands happily and said, "Well, you are worthy of being my granddaughter, Li Qifeng."
It is said that a tiger has no daughter, but his daughter, Xiaoyu, is like a tiger without a grandson. Xiaoyu has completely inherited his excellent genes.
Old Madam Yu glanced at her husband, frowned slightly, and said to Xiao Yu, "If you encounter something like this again in the future, you should first ensure your own safety and get out of it."
"The person you and Xiaoye met this time was unarmed, just like you. What if they met someone with a knife or a stick?"
"If they were to strike you with a knife or a stick, could you withstand it?"
He couldn't handle the knife, but Li Xiaoyu felt that he could handle the stick.
But she still said obediently: "Grandma, you are right. Next time if I encounter danger, I will definitely run first. If I can't run away, I will fight."
Since there was no way to escape, it was natural to face the danger.
Old Mrs. Yu smiled and nodded, took Xiaoyu's hand, asked her to sit next to her, and peeled a banana for her to eat.
Around seven o'clock, Li Yunshu also rode his bicycle back to the Li family.
While eating, Mr. Li looked at his daughter and said, "Next weekend is your Uncle Zou's birthday. He sent an invitation to our house and invited our whole family to come."
"If it weren't for your Uncle Zou, we wouldn't know you were our daughter Shushu. You have to go to his birthday party to meet him."
Li Yunshu nodded. "Of course I'll go, but what kind of gift should I prepare for Uncle Zou?"
Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, "Your Uncle Zou loves smoking. You can buy him a pipe. It doesn't have to be expensive. It's just a token of your appreciation."
Li Yunshu nodded and said "Okay."
With the coming of winter, more and more people come to dumpling shops to eat dumplings. Most people eat a plate of steaming dumplings, accompanied by a bowl of boiling dumpling soup or bone soup.
Because cold dishes are not so popular in winter, we only prepare one-third of the usual amount of cold dishes, and they are still not sold out.
The fact that Zhao Siyu was questioned by the Public Security Bureau at school eventually reached her parents' ears.
Although she tried her best to assure herself that this matter had nothing to do with her, her mother felt that if she hadn't studied hard in school and had had close contact with that gangster Lu Changyong, would the police have come to question her?
So she was given a mixed doubles match, which made her take two more days off from school.
The cases of Zhou Dong, Lu Changyong, his brother, and his uncle have all been closed.
Lu Changyong committed the crime of gathering a crowd to affray. Although no one was injured and the circumstances were not serious, he showed no remorse and had an arrogant attitude when detained, so he was sentenced to one and a half years of detention.
Haozi was an accomplice and received a lighter sentence of 16 months' detention.
Lu Changming was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for multiple crimes and his illegal gains were confiscated.
Shen Honghui was removed from his post, expelled from the party, and sentenced to five years in prison.
Those under Lu Changming were all sentenced to between five and two years.
When Lu Changyong learned that his brother and uncle had been arrested and sentenced to five and two years respectively, he felt devastated and filled with regret.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and no matter how much he regrets, it is too late.
Even so, he did not change his confession, saying that it was Zhao Siyu who instigated him to do so.
He felt that even if he said it, it would not change anything. He was already ruined, and he did not want to ruin Zhao Siyu as well.
(I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I went to check again during the day today, which delayed most of the day. My brain isn't working very well either. I'll update 2,000 words today, and make up the remaining 2,000 tomorrow, and I'll still make up the rest at the end of this chapter.)
