This pleasant atmosphere didn't last long; problems arose in the project that Jiangcheng University was finishing up.
A female student was raped and dumped on the street. She was discovered by a student who happened to be passing by and taken to the school hospital.
The girl suffered severe psychological trauma and is still somewhat disoriented.
The school immediately called the police, and all the workers on the construction site were stopped and questioned one by one.
When Lin Wei arrived, it was already quite late. After finding out what had happened, she wasn't in a hurry.
“Boyuan is known as a safe construction site because there are many female students at the school. You can see that there are barriers between the construction area and the school. We try our best to prevent workers from coming into contact with female students.”
"I'm not saying this to protect the workers, but I hope the police officers will investigate the matter thoroughly before making a decision. Migrant workers are people too. Although they haven't received much education, every penny they earn is hard-earned. I hope that some misunderstandings won't hurt the feelings of the migrant workers."
"We didn't do anything?" the police officer said.
“I know you didn’t do anything, but you’ve confined people to such a small area where they can’t even squat. What’s the difference between that and imprisonment?”
“I’m not targeting you personally. In fact, I’m a graduate of Jiangcheng University. I don’t want either the school or my workers to damage the relationship between us.”
After Lin Wei said that, the police officers didn't say anything more.
They expanded the area where the workers were housed, and each worker was finally able to find a spot to sit down.
After Lin Wei finished communicating with the police officers, Zhang Jun and Lin Jia, who were in charge of the project, immediately walked up to her.
The two men looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, for getting the company involved in such a big incident. I don't think the company has ever encountered anything like this before. What if it affects the company's image?"
"Don't cry yet. The incident at Chaoyang Elementary School last time was bad enough for our image, but it didn't stop us from continuing to work. But what exactly happened? It shouldn't have been done by us workers, right?"
Zhang Jun assured, "Before we started this project, we listened to your instructions to pay special attention to the safe distance between the workers and the female students. So even though it was complicated and expensive, we built a separate road to block the path between the workers and the students, so the two cannot communicate with each other."
"Furthermore, in the construction industry, many tasks cannot be done by one person alone. We look out for each other, with at least two or three people working together. There is no question of protecting one another. When it's time to leave, Lin Jia and I take turns guarding the construction site. After get off work, we both make sure all the workers have left before we leave."
“Even the way we left, we had the school set up a separate gate. This gate is only for workers to use for now. I think there are no safety issues. Besides, this happened during working hours, so it doesn’t really concern us.”
"It's just that the location was relatively close, and for some reason, that female classmate insisted that we did it."
Lin Wei frowned. "During working hours, are you sure all our workers are on this construction site? She still insists it was our people who did it?"
“Yes.” Lin Jia actually felt something was very strange. “The way that girl acted, I felt like she was protecting someone and then randomly accusing them.”
Lin Wei was speechless for a moment, and whispered in their ears, "Does anyone else know that we secretly installed cameras inside and outside the construction site?"
"I don't know. Only we and the workers on our construction site know. The principal and everyone else in the school don't know."
It would be strange if the workers did those things knowing they were being monitored.
But at this point, Lin Jia became slightly excited, "President Lin, how are you so smart? The camera played a crucial role at this time."
"I'm not smart, I just feel that with so many people around, it's no fun, and can you really guarantee that the cameras will be useful, rather than evidence?"
Zhang Jun and Lin Jia exchanged a glance and said in unison, "President Lin, we have worked with the workers regularly, and we have confidence in our company's workers."
The two men spoke with righteous indignation, and Lin Wei smiled with relief, "Okay, I'll go find the police now."
"Officers, I have something I want to tell you."
The police officer was questioning the next worker when he saw Lin Wei approaching. He put down his pen and paper and asked, "What do you say?"
“Actually, we have surveillance cameras installed on our construction site. I don’t know the exact area where the incident happened, but if it happened in this area near the construction site, even if we don’t know who bullied the girl, it can still clear our workers’ names.”
"Is surveillance installed?"
"Yes, we workers all know that the surveillance cameras are not installed to prevent anyone from watching out. It's just that there are a lot of people and eyes in the school, and it's easy for some unnecessary trouble to occur when there are a lot of people. For the safety of the students and the safety of the workers, we installed them."
"However, we didn't report it to the school, so we didn't dare let anyone mention it."
The police officers immediately understood why the workers remained so calm and composed after such a serious incident.
So they all know this has nothing to do with them?
"Can we view the surveillance footage now?"
"Sure, the monitoring room on the second floor is open 24 hours a day."
Zhang Jun immediately led the police officers to the temporary rest area built for the workers.
On the second floor, there are four large screens, each with 12 cameras, which almost completely cover the entire building area.
They even searched the area surrounding the building.
The area the girl pointed to was indeed within the range of the cameras they had installed, because it was very close to the surrounding buildings.
“This area, right here,” a police officer said, pointing to one of the camera areas.
"Turn on the surveillance in this area."
Zhang Jun logged into a website and entered the camera's code. After that, they could access the footage captured by the camera within the last 30 days at will.
Zhang Jun immediately gave up his seat, and the police officer sat down. Based on the time when the girl had the accident, the time was adjusted to more than an hour earlier.
After the camera was sped up, everyone waited quietly for the footage.
Just five minutes later, the girl indeed appeared on screen.
But the girl's man was not only not a worker, but also surprised them greatly.
"Eek~~~~~".
After recognizing each other, the group exclaimed "Huh?" and then looked at each other, not daring to make a sound.
The police officers looked at them.
"You know him?"
"Forehead……."
We're acquainted, but not really acquainted.
"Speak up, tell us everything you know, so we don't have to beat around the bush."
"The information I have is that he should be a counselor in the XX department of the school."
