Chapter 43 I Owe You a Secret
“Hahahahahahaha…” Cui Weishan laughed loudly towards the sky, like a madman.
After laughing, he said disdainfully: "So what if it adds to the crime?"
He was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
The case officer said, "You should cooperate well and confess your crime. Do you understand?"
"Leniency? How lenient?" Cui Weishan smiled and shook his head, "You don't believe what I say. I will die whether I confess or not."
"As long as you honestly explain the problem, you can try to get a lighter sentence. You are a teacher, you should understand this principle!"
"I said Tang Limei seduced me and stole the test questions from me. Do you believe it?"
Cui Weishan looked provocative and did not consider himself a suspect in custody at all.
"I said I didn't kidnap Tian Xiaoyue, she died of illness in my house accidentally, do you believe it?"
Cui Weishan kept lying and refused to cooperate, so the investigators could only search the old factory based on the photos provided by Yan Shouzhen.
This factory is very large and contains some dangerous buildings, making the search extremely difficult.
Cui Weishan was extremely cautious. He always came after dark and took different entrances and routes.
Yan Shouzhen was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he didn't dare to get too close when following them, so he was unable to find the specific place where Cui Weishan hid the people.
The investigators quickly dispatched. Yan Shouzhen had been to the vicinity of the old factory and could provide clues, so he was taken there.
Tang Xueli offered to help and followed the group.
"There is another person in the photo. He is of medium height and thin. He may be the suspect's accomplice. When you are at the scene, please pay attention to safety and report any situation immediately!"
The captain gave some instructions, divided everyone into groups, and everyone acted separately.
When they arrived at the old factory, the captain found a suspicious place.
When diving in, there was a sudden strong smell of gasoline.
"Something's wrong, hurry in and find someone!" With the captain's order, fire suddenly broke out all around.
There were cries and calls for help one after another.
"There are people inside, put out the fire! Put out the fire!" The captain rushed into the sea of fire first.
There was no water source nearby, so everyone had to take off their clothes to put out the fire.
“Help…Help…”
Tang Xueli suddenly discovered that there was a fire on the other side. After listening carefully, she could faintly hear a girl's weak cry from inside.
She ran over there, and Yan Shouzhen followed closely, grabbing her and asking, "What are you doing?"
Tang Xueli: "Go in and save them!"
What else can I do?
This question is really confusing.
"The fire is too big, too dangerous." Yan Shouzhen held Tang Xueli's wrist tightly.
"Let go!" Tang Xueli's eyes were sharp, "Didn't you hear the girl inside shouting for help?"
"You can't save her. Once you go in, you can't get out." Yan Shouzhen insisted in a hoarse voice.
"I can save him. I have learned life-saving knowledge. I have a way." Tang Xueli was very calm. "Teacher Yan, please believe me. Let go. Time is precious."
Yan Shouzhen took out a military water bottle from his bag and asked, "Do you need it?"
"Yeah." Tang Xueli tore off a piece of clothing, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, wet the piece of cloth, tied it around her nose and fixed it on her face.
Then she took off her coat, put out the flames and ran quickly in the direction the girl was calling for help.
Yan Shouzhen stood where he was, staring at the sea of fire intently.
It was just one minute, but it felt like a lifetime.
When Tang Xueli staggered out of the sea of fire carrying the girl on her back, Yan Shouzhen's legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.
The girl fainted, Tang Xueli was coughing violently and had multiple burns on her body.
On the other side, six women and one man were rescued.
Judging from his body shape, this man should be the one in the photo.
He suffered the most serious burns and was breathing his last breath.
After arriving at the hospital, Tang Xueli, who had her wounds treated, lay on the bed and received an IV drip.
Yan Shouzhen poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside table, then sat down beside the bed and looked at her.
"Student, you are so brave."
Tang Xueli smiled and said, "Teacher, you are even more timid than Sisi."
Yan Shouzhen was stunned for a moment, "Who is Sisi?"
"My sister." Tang Xueli said, "She's less than three months old."
Yan Shouzhen: “…”
Tang Xueli smiled and said, "She would be scared and cry if she heard any loud noise."
"Why did you want to save a stranger?" Yan Shouzhen asked, changing the subject.
Tang Xueli lowered her eyes and was silent for a few seconds. "Hearing her cry for help was like hearing my own cry for help."
"Your own cry for help?" Yan Shouzhen didn't quite understand.
"Yes." Tang Xueli stared at the drops of medicine falling evenly in the drip bottle with a distracted look. "I was once thrown into a grove. It was dark and a snake was crawling towards me. I was tied up and couldn't move. I shouted for help, but no one heard me. At that time, I really hoped that someone could hear my cries for help and come to save me."
Yan Shouzhen felt a little distressed, "What happened next?"
Tang Xueli shook her head slightly and said nothing more.
Let the subsequent stories be buried in memory!
"Teacher Yan, why are you afraid of fire?"
"You have a really strong ability to imitate!" Yan Shouzhen smiled bitterly.
This student has imitated his sentence patterns to challenge him more than once, and now he is imitating him to change the subject and ask about the other person's privacy.
"If you can imitate and apply what you have learned to other situations when doing physics problems, your score will definitely increase by a few points."
"I did very well in physics on this midterm exam."
Tang Xueli was very satisfied with her results this time.
"Eighty-two points is not that good." Yan Shouzhen sighed, "The papers are all worth 100 points. You can get full marks in math, 99 in English, and 97 in chemistry, but you only got this low in physics!"
"I've made great progress." Tang Xueli said dissatisfiedly: "As a teacher, you can't suppress students' enthusiasm. You have to know how to encourage them."
Yan Shouzhen: "Are you the teacher, or am I the teacher? You know more than me, right?"
"You're just a substitute teacher." Tang Xueli suddenly remembered a sentence, "Boss Kuang said you don't look like a teacher!"
She also feels a little different now.
I can't explain why, it's just an inexplicable intuition.
Yan Shouzhen coughed twice. No matter what they talked about, they would always touch upon sensitive issues.
I don’t know whether this student is too good at chatting or too bad at it.
"The fact is, I'm your substitute physics teacher now."
"Well, that's right." Tang Xueli paused and asked again: "Teacher Yan, why are you afraid of fire? If it's a secret that can't be told, you don't have to tell me. I'm just asking casually."
Just asking randomly and asked twice.
"It's not a secret. My dad was severely burned while saving people. He persisted in treatment for half a year, but he still passed away later."
When Yan Shouzhen talked about this incident, there was not much sadness on his face and his tone was very calm.
"It happened many years ago, when I was still in primary school. He picked me up from school and saw the grain store on fire on the way. I was standing outside when he rushed in to save people. Grain and oil on fire was very scary, and I smelled a strong burning smell at the time."
"I'm sorry." Tang Xueli regretted asking this question.
"It's okay." Yan Shouzhen smiled, "We'll be even if you tell me one of your secrets in the future."
Tang Xueli: "Okay, I owe you a secret."
