Chapter 25
After Teacher Feng's incident, her family suffered a long period of harassment. Not only did Qiu Yue's parents "demand compensation" and cause trouble, but many self-proclaimed "anchors" also joined in.
They held up a mobile phone stand and monitored her door day and night, filming everyone who came in and out.
"Family members, look! This is the daughter of a murderer and arsonist. She looks just like the murderer!"
"Murderers also have daughters. Why do you have the heart to kill someone else's daughter?"
"This is the murderer's husband. He's holding the murderer's granddaughter. It looks like she's going to kindergarten. Let's follow her and see which kindergarten she's in."
…Adults can’t work, and children can’t go to school. These people are like flies that sniff blood, and you can’t get rid of them even if you move.
One day, Sister Qin was walking on the road and felt that someone was following her from behind.
Unable to bear it any longer, she turned around and cried out in disbelief, "My mother didn't kill anyone, please stop filming me!"
The girl behind him was not holding any camera equipment.
"My name is Chen He. I know Teacher Feng is innocent." The girl held out her hand. "Would you like to cooperate?"
…
In the side hall, Chen He said, "Sister Qin, you've done what you were supposed to do. You don't need to get involved in the rest of the matter. You haven't seen your daughter for a long time. Resign from your job as landlord and go back to reunite with your daughter."
The rest of Sister Qin's family had already moved away, and it was Chen He who had gone to find her and roped her into the game. Now her mission was complete.
Sister Qin shook her head and said, "I want to see Xu Candong being punished with my own eyes before I leave. A guest has booked a room on the second floor, so I'm going to clean it." After that, she went upstairs.
Chen He was helpless. She sat there for a while and opened a comic book.
The latest episode has already caused a stir, with comments and comments sections abuzz with discussion.
[I think I've seen this anchor in the update!]
[Xu Xixi's anti-white diary, the account is still there! Damn it, everyone go and attack his account!]
[I even paid money]
[Wait, what's in the comics isn't necessarily true.]
[It's true, I can testify! This person is from our Xiangyang Community. He was arrested yesterday, and the child has been rescued.]
[Very satisfying, please keep checking back!]
[Since the anchor's story is true, then the part about the vengeful spirit seeking his life... could it also be true...]
[Don’t scare me upstairs!]
[Based on this, could there be a hidden story behind the arsonist teacher at the art base five years ago? Was it really this Xu San who killed the teacher?]
[That case is indeed full of suspicious points. Let me dig into them...]
Is this anchor still alive? Could he have been burned to death by a ghost like in the comics?
[Report again, alive, released today. (Cracking)]
[Why should they be released?! Isn't child abuse enough to warrant a few years in prison? (Angry)]
[The kid upstairs is too naive.]
[In that case, let the vengeful spirit take his life!]
[Wait a minute, didn't you notice that the comic update happened before the arrest?]
[Trembling, who on earth is the author...]
…
Chen He flipped through the comments expressionlessly and didn't reply to any of them.
At this time, several messages popped up above the screen, from Song Zhou.
[Baby, Officer Chang is coming to your house this afternoon to talk to you. Do you agree?]
Coming. Chen He's eyes flickered as he replied, "Okay."
Chen He received Chang Ting on the terrace.
Chang Ting sat on a rattan chair, and Song Zhou, wearing home clothes, sat on the outdoor sofa next to Chen He, with one hand around her shoulder in a protective posture.
Chang Ting thought: This guy usually looks gentle and refined, but when he gets in front of Chen He, his eyes are like a protective wolfhound, as if ready to jump and bite at any moment.
Chang Ting opened the latest chapter of the comic on his phone, and Chen He's eyes lit up.
"Officer Chang is my loyal reader," said Chen He.
"You're going to talk about imagination, fiction, material, and story again, right?"
"Yes." Chen He said frankly.
"Okay. We don't need to repeat what we've already done. I want to ask you, who is that person?"
"Who?"
"Who was the person who approached Xu Candong, replaced sleeping pills and anticoagulants with vitamins, and helped Zou Li steal the child?"
Chen He's expression was calm, and the afternoon sun couldn't warm her pale skin: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"I know you want to protect this person from retaliation." Chang Ting raised a finger, as if pointing at the unknown person, "Don't worry, I have no intention of pursuing the matter.
"Although I am frustrated that you took action before the police, I am grateful that you saved the child from further harm.
"But since you've already noticed Xu Candong's behavior, why didn't you just call the police?"
Chen He smiled and said, "How do you know I haven't reported it?"
Chang Ting remembered the time the doctor in the capital called the police, and suddenly realized: "That time it was you..."
Chen He neither admitted nor denied it, but asked, "Is it useful?"
Chang Ting fell silent. It was useless. He could throw out a bunch of laws and preach, but the facts were like this.
He cleared his throat and said defensively, "Grassroots police officers face many difficulties in their actual work..."
"I understand." Chen He said generously.
Chang Ting thought for a moment and asked, "What else does that friend close to Xu Candong know? It's not limited to the crime of child abuse, but also includes...what happened at the Zangmo base five years ago."
"there is none left."
"Don't worry. I can promise not to reveal your friend's identity and guarantee his personal safety."
Chen He said sincerely, "Really not. She just helped me collect materials, that's all."
Chang Ting tapped the screen of his phone: "Then why did you draw Xu Candong as the murderer of Teacher Feng?"
"The person I drew is clearly Xu San, what does it have to do with Xu Candong? Officer Chang, are you confusing reality and fiction again? If Xu Candong thinks Xu San is him, then he can sue me. Suing me is just the right person! Ask him if he dares."
Chen He sneered without hiding his feelings.
Chang Ting's patience ran out. He scratched his thorny head fiercely and said, "Chen He, if you know anything else, you'd better tell me everything. Don't hide it."
Before Chen He could answer, Song Zhou warned her, "Officer Chang, if you have this attitude, let's not talk anymore."
Chang Ting took a deep breath and smiled. "Please, please tell me why the comic says Xu San is the murderer of Teacher Feng. Is there any basis for this? Thank you."
Chen He tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Make a sound."
"Ah?"
"You should know he has this problem."
Chang Ting thought about it and said, "Oh, it seems that there really is one."
People's auditory perceptions vary greatly. Chen He couldn't stand the sound, but Chang Ting clearly didn't care much and didn't even notice.
Chen He said: "Late in the night when Qiu Yue disappeared, someone told me that she heard this voice."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"I didn't see anyone, I only heard voices?"
"right."
Chang Ting frowned, obviously feeling that this information was worthless. He still asked, "Who heard it?"
"Yu Ai Ai."
"Yu Aiai?" Chang Ting was stunned. "The girl who saw Qiu Yue last?"
"That's her. But even if you ask her to verify this, I don't think she will admit it."
Chang Ting frowned. "Even if he admits it, it can't be used as evidence. He could have misheard it, or someone else could have made the same sound. This alone can't prove that Xu Candong entered the girls' dormitory that night and killed Feng Xumei."
Chen He raised his eyebrows indifferently: "So, it's useless."
Chang Ting was stroking his frizzy hair in annoyance when he suddenly caught sight of a small clump of scarlet flowers. His gaze fixed on them, "Is that... Red Spider Lily?"
