The policeman who led Chen Shuirou in was standing by the door, looking at Chen Shuirou quietly. When the suspect met his relatives and friends, the policeman had the obligation to supervise the suspect to avoid any accidents.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Chen Shuirou looked a lot more haggard! Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "Director Chen, what on earth is going on?"
Chen Shuirou lowered his head, not daring to look at Ma Xiaoyao, and recounted the story of his arrest.
What Chen Shuirou said was similar to what Xiao Liu said. The cause was indeed Chen Shuirou's younger brother, Chen Xiaobao. However, there was one thing that Xiao Liu didn't mention. That was that the girl's parents originally wanted to sue Chen Xiaobao for forcing and humiliating their daughter, but the girl refused to agree. In the end, the girl
The parents did not call the police to arrest Chen Xiaobao. From this point of view, the girl was sincere to Chen Xiaobao.
"Where is your brother now?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Chen Shuirou shook her head: "I don't know either, Xiaobao has disappeared since the school expelled him..."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Missing? He must be hiding, right? A manly man will hide when he causes trouble. He doesn't have the courage to take on the trouble. Director Chen, I'm not telling you that this brother of yours is really bad."
.”
A trace of shame flashed across Chen Shuirou's face: "It's because I didn't educate my brother well..."
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with you. Your brother is already 17 years old. He is already mature and has the ability to make judgments. Now that he has caused such a mess, it is really... forget it, everything has already happened.
, it’s useless to talk about this anymore.”
"Tell me about you, do that girl's parents really want to sue you?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Chen Shuirou nodded: "Yes."
"Did you push the girl's mother on purpose, or was it unintentional?" Ma Xiaoyao continued to ask.
"It was unintentional, I really was unintentional." Chen Shuirou said hurriedly.
"It's useless to just say it yourself, you have to find evidence." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Evidence?" Chen Shuirou was stunned: "Evidence... that's right!" Chen Shuirou suddenly remembered something: "When I was arguing with the girl's parents, the principal of the school was in the office. He could prove it to me."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "This is a strong piece of evidence. If the principal can come forward to prove that you were unintentional, then you will be fine... Okay, I'll go find that person right now.
The principal of the school...by the way, is he the principal of County No. 1 Middle School?"
"Yes, the principal of County No. 1 Middle School, his surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Minglu." Chen Shuirou replied.
Ma Xiaoyao stood up: "I'm going to find Zhou Lianglu now. I hope he will come forward to testify for you...Xiao Liu, let's go."
"Hey!" Xiao Liu stood up and said to Chen Shuirou: "Sister Chen, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to rescue you."
"Yes, relax, it'll be fine." Ma Xiaoyao comforted.
Chen Shuirou said gratefully: "Chief Ma, thank you..."
"You are my subordinate, so it's my duty to help you. Okay, let's not waste any more time. I'm going to the County No. 1 Middle School." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao led Xiao Liu away.
After Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu left, the policeman standing at the door took Chen Shuirou back to the detention room. After returning to the detention room, Chen Shuirou's mood improved significantly.
…
After leaving the Public Security Bureau.
Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu took a car to the County No. 1 Middle School.
The principal's office is easy to find. Just ask any student and you will know the location of the principal's office.
Zhou Minglu is a man in his fifties, with a somewhat side-shaped build, bald head, and a mustache. He is very shrewd at first glance.
"Hello, Principal Zhou, my name is Mayor Ma, and I am the mayor of Gaohe Township. His name is Liu Dehai, and he is an employee of the township government." Ma Xiaoyao briefly introduced himself.
"The mayor of Gaohe Township?" Zhou Minglu was stunned: "I don't think I know you..."
"This is indeed the first time we have met, Principal Zhou. We are here today to ask you something," Ma Xiaoyao said.
Zhou Lianglu frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Well, that's it. Chen Shuirou should be familiar to you, right?" Ma Xiaoyao said while paying attention to the changes in Zhou Liang's expression.
Zhou Minglu shook his head: "I don't know him."
"Chen Shuirou is Chen Xiaobao's sister, and Chen Xiaobao is a senior high school student in your school..." Ma Xiaoyao reminded.
"Oh, you said it was her... I remembered, wasn't that Chen Shuirou arrested by the police?" Zhou Minglu showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Principal Zhou, I won't bother you anymore. I came here today to ask you whether Chen Shuirou pushed the girl's mother away on purpose or unintentionally?" Ma Xiaoyao asked straightforwardly.
"This..." Zhou Lianglu hesitated: "The scene was too chaotic at the time, and I couldn't see clearly..."
Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows: "No way? There are only three people arguing together, how could you not see clearly? Principal Zhou, please think about it carefully, because your testimony is too heavy on Chen Shuirou."
Zhou Lianglu shook his head: "I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention at the time."
"Principal Zhou..." Ma Xiaoyao was about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhou Minglu.
Zhou Minglu waved his hand: "Don't ask anymore, I don't know anything... I'm sorry, I'm very busy at work, please leave." Zhou Minglu directly issued an eviction order.
"Principal Zhou, Chen Shuirou is currently being held in the Public Security Bureau and is accused of intentional murder. Can you bear to watch a weak woman like Chen Shuirou go to jail?" Ma Xiaoyao asked anxiously.
"Yes, Principal Zhou, please tell us the truth at that time." Xiao Liu also begged from the side.
"Alas..." Zhou Minglu sighed softly: "I am also very helpless. I hope you won't force me anymore."
"Helpless?" Ma Xiaoyao thought: "Principal Zhou, did you clearly see the situation at that time, but for some reason, you couldn't come forward to testify?"
Zhou Lianglu remained silent and did not speak.
Seeing Zhou Linglu's look, Ma Xiaoyao knew that he had guessed correctly, and asked tentatively: "Did that girl's parents threaten you?"
"Don't ask anymore, I won't say anything... I'm really busy at work, please leave." After saying that, Zhou Lianglu walked behind the desk and sat down, took out a piece of information and read,
Stop talking to Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu.
Ma Xiaoyao took a deep look at Zhou Minglu, and then led Xiao Liu out of the office.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhou Minglu raised his head, his face full of helplessness: "Oh... sometimes people really have to bow to reality... I am also very helpless."
…
After leaving the principal's office, Xiao Liu asked: "Chief Ma, I'm sure this Zhou Liangluo must have clearly seen what happened at that time, but for some reason he didn't want to say it."
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You can see it too."
"Chief Ma, what should we do next?" Xiao Liu asked.
Ma Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and rubbed his swollen temples: "I went to talk to the girl's parents. If the other party is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, Director Chen will be fine."
"It's impossible. The other party wants to accuse Sister Chen of intentional murder. From this point of view, it can be seen that they are vicious. How can they withdraw the lawsuit?" Xiao Liu said hesitantly.
Ma Xiaoyao breathed out softly: "No matter what the result is, you have to give it a try, Xiao Liu... Go find a student and find out where the girl who had the accident lives."
Xiao Liu nodded and left quickly.
Ma Xiaoyao walked out of the teaching building, looked around, and found a small pavilion diagonally opposite. There was a stone table and several stone benches in the small pavilion. Ma Xiaoyao immediately walked into the small pavilion and sat on the stone bench.
Go up and wait quietly for Xiao Liu.
After more than half an hour, Xiao Liu ran back panting.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Why did it take so long?"
"Oh... don't mention it." Xiao Liu wiped the sweat from his face: "I asked many students, but they didn't tell me. In the end, I paid for them and bought them a box of popsicles, and they reluctantly told me.
, more than ten dollars have been lost in vain, and today’s students... there is nothing they can do about it."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, have you found out?" Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand impatiently.
"I found out that the female student who is in love with Chen Xiaobao is called Qiao Mei. She is 16 years old and is a classmate of Chen Xiaobao..." Xiao Liu said hurriedly.
"Then can you find out where Qiao Mei lives?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Xiao Liu nodded: "I found out, Qiao Mei's family lives in Unit 302, Building 1, Yufan Community, Fenghe Road."
"Let's go to Qiao Mei's house." Ma Xiaoyao stood up and walked towards the school gate.
Xiao Liu hurriedly followed.
Half an hour later, Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu arrived at Yufan Community.
This Yufan community is quite large in scale, and the internal construction is also very beautiful. It is one of the few gorgeous communities in Dongcheng County.
According to the number marked on the residential building, Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu successfully found Qiao Mei's home.
"Dong dong dong!"
Xiao Liu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened and a middle-aged man walked out: "Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man looked at Ma Xiaoyao and Xiao Liu suspiciously.
"Is this Qiao Mei's home?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Yes, this is Qiao Mei's home, who are you?" the middle-aged man nodded.
"Then you should be Qiao Mei's father, right?" Ma Xiaoyao said politely.
"Yes, I am Qiao Mei's father. Who are you?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"Uh... we are friends of Chen Shuirou." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
The middle-aged man was stunned: "Chen Shuirou?"
"Oh, she is Chen Xiaobao's sister..." Ma Xiaoyao explained.
"It's her!" The middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened: "What are you doing here! Want to cause trouble?"
"No, brother, please don't get me wrong. We are here today to talk to you about Chen Shuirou..." Ma Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
