At this critical moment, Qiao Liang slammed on the brakes almost reflexively. The tires made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the asphalt road. The car stopped just when it was about to hit the man.
Qiao Liang broke into a cold sweat and was still frightened. If it was a little later, he would have to knock the person in front of him away.
Qiao Liang was in shock. When he looked carefully, he saw that the person in front of the car was still standing. He seemed to have rushed out on purpose.
Qiao Liang immediately said angrily: "Does this person not want his life?"
He Qingqing was also very frightened. They were already close to the gate of the county compound. If someone were killed here, it would probably become the headline news in the county tomorrow.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, He Qingqing nodded: "This person really doesn't care about others even if he doesn't care about his own life."
At this time, Qiao Liang opened the door and stepped out of the car. He stared at the man in front of him and said angrily: "Are you desperate for your life? If I brake slower, you will be knocked away."
"Leader, I...I didn't mean it." The man looked at Qiao Liang and stammered, "I...I just wanted to report my sister's matter to the leader."
"What about your sister?" Qiao Liang looked at the man in front of him in confusion. He felt vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"County Magistrate Qiao, this person seems to be the person I said was going to stop your car when we were about to go out for dinner." He Qingqing also got out of the car at some point, stood behind Qiao Liang, and glanced at the man.
Then I recognized it; it came out.
"Oh?" Qiao Liang's eyes became more and more confused when he heard He Qingqing's words.
"Boss, I saw you at the door of the Education Bureau this morning." The man said quickly.
Hearing the man's words, Qiao Liang suddenly realized that no wonder he felt that the man looked familiar. It turned out that the man was the man who made a noise at the gate of the Education Bureau in the morning. Qiao Liang had already remembered it at this moment.
Qiao Liang was still thinking when the man suddenly knelt down and said: "Leader, please make the decision for my sister. My sister died unjustly..."
"What...what are you doing? Get up quickly." Qiao Liang was shocked when she saw the man kneeling down and quickly pulled him away.
"Leader, if you don't make the decision for my sister, I won't get up." The man said stubbornly.
"Get up first and then talk." Qiao Liang pulled the other party hard. This is right at the entrance of the county compound. People don't know what they will think if they see it.
"Leader, I can't get up." The man stared straight at Qiao Liang. No matter how Qiao Liang pulled him, the man could not move on his knees.
Qiao Liang was also annoyed at this moment and said: "If you don't get up, then I don't care. You didn't even say anything, just kneeling like this. What do you mean?"
Qiao Liang said that he was about to leave. When the man saw this, he stood up in a hurry: "Boss, don't leave. I'll get up."
"What's going on?" Qiao Liang looked at him angrily. This man was really serious. He rushed out to block his car and knelt down as soon as he came up, leaving Qiao Liang speechless.
"Leader, my sister is a student at County No. 1 Middle School. She is a senior in high school this year. She committed suicide by jumping off a building a few days ago. However, there is a hidden reason for my sister's suicide. She must have been bullied." The man said anxiously.
"Your sister is the student from County No. 1 Middle School who committed suicide?" Qiao Liang was stunned when he heard this and looked at the man.
"Yes." The man nodded hurriedly. Because of his excitement, the man was a little incoherent. "She must have been wronged. She must have been bullied. I...she..."
Qiao Liang frowned. From the look of the man, he didn't seem to be lying. Qiao Liang was about to ask further questions when He Qingqing pulled Qiao Liang's sleeve: "County Magistrate Qiao, this is not a suitable place to talk. Besides, Find a place."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang also realized that this place is right at the entrance of the county compound and is really not suitable for conversation. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang glanced at the other party and said, "Get in my car and let's find a place to talk."
Qiao Liang drove to a cafe in the county town and asked for a private room. After a few people sat down, Qiao Liang looked at the man and asked, "What's going on with your sister?"
"Leader, my sister must have been bullied and couldn't think about it, so she jumped off the building and committed suicide." The man calmed down a lot at this time, took out his mobile phone, and said, "Leader, take a look, this is the message my sister sent me a few days before she committed suicide. Something was wrong at that time, but I was busy working overtime and didn't notice it for a moment. I just comforted her briefly. I didn't know that her state was extremely bad at that time. If I came back in time, maybe my sister wouldn't... …”
The man started crying as he spoke and could no longer say anything else.
At this time, Qiao Liang took the other party's phone and looked at it. In the chat box was a conversation between the man and his sister. Qiao Liang took a quick look and frowned slightly.
At this time, the man's mood recovered a little, he wiped his tears and said again: "Boss, you can start watching from New Year's Eve, and you will know that I am not lying."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang scrolled up the chat history to New Year's Eve.
From the messages, Qiao Liang could tell that on the morning of New Year's Eve, the man's sister was still happily messaging him, saying that her English teacher was going to spend the New Year with her and would take her out for a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
The next day, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, his sister sent another message. It only wrote a few simple words: "Brother, I...", followed by a crying emoticon.
From the first day of the new year onwards, the chat messages became less and less. Basically, the man’s sister sent a crying emoji, and then nothing happened again, and the man often did not reply.
As Qiao Liang watched, the man also explained that he was working out of town and was originally going to come back to spend the New Year with his sister this year, but because the factory encouraged workers to stay and work overtime, it not only gave them a thousand yuan subsidy, but also paid overtime during the New Year days. Based on three times the salary, after the man called his sister and told her about this, her sister also supported him in staying and working overtime. She also told the man that she had also found an hourly job in a supermarket in the county and would still go there during the Chinese New Year. When the man heard this, he thought that his sister was not free during the Chinese New Year, and since his sister could live at school during the winter vacation, there was nothing to worry about, so the man really did not come back and stayed in the factory to work overtime.
During these Chinese New Year days, men's turns are all night shifts, so after working all night at night, they usually fall asleep during the day. Occasionally, when I see messages from my sister, she will always send a crying emoticon when I see her, so the man will send a question mark. I asked in the past, but there was usually nothing to say about his sister, so the man didn't think much about it. He thought his sister was staying alone in Liangbei for the New Year, and suddenly felt lonely, so he sent some expressions.
It wasn't until two days before his sister jumped off the building that her sister called him and kept crying on the phone. Then the man realized something was wrong and asked his sister what was going on, but her sister just cried and didn't say anything. She was too anxious to ask. My sister simply hung up the phone.
At that time, the man thought about coming back for a visit, but when he called again the next day, his sister told him that everything was fine, and smiled and told him to work hard and not to worry. When the man heard this, he thought
It was really okay, but unexpectedly, news of his sister's death came later.
Listening to the man telling the whole story, Qiao Liang frowned slightly and asked, "Where are your parents? Why doesn't your sister go home for the New Year?"
"My parents passed away a long time ago, and my grandparents have been away for a long time. My sister and I depend on each other at home. In order for my sister to study, I went out to work very early. I was supposed to come back this year. I shouldn't be greedy for factories.
That little subsidy, if I come back, maybe my sister won’t die. It’s my fault, it’s all my fault.” The man’s eyes turned red again.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he felt a little touched. He didn't know what to say for a moment. From the man's narration, he could feel how difficult it was for the brother and sister to depend on each other. His sister encouraged him to stay in the factory and work overtime during the Chinese New Year, in order to save more people.
To make some money, the brother and sister were afraid of poverty and had suffered too much. They cherished the opportunity to make more money, so the sister encouraged the man to stay in the factory and work overtime, and he also found a job in the county town.
The opportunity to work part-time can help you earn some money to supplement your pocket expenses.
As a woman, He Qingqing is extremely emotional. After hearing what the man said, she couldn't help crying and her eyes were red. Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't speak, He Qingqing reached out and touched Qiao Liang and said: "County Magistrate Qiao
, I also heard about the female student who was staying in the county No. 1 Middle School and jumped off the building a few days ago. At that time, I was still thinking about how this child could be so stupid and do such a stupid thing. I didn’t expect that there was another hidden meaning in this matter. Qiao County
Chief, you are now the leader in charge of education, so you cannot ignore this matter."
"Handling cases is the police's business, and the police are not under my charge. How do you want me to take care of it?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing helplessly and said to her heart that women are really emotional animals. Once this compassion overflows, they can't care about anything.
, I only know how to speak for the other party.
"County Magistrate Qiao, this happened in County No. 1 Middle School, and judging from this information, there is absolutely nothing to do with the English teacher that the girl mentioned repeatedly in the messages. We should investigate her English teacher carefully.
." He Qingqing said seriously.
"Yes, leader, it must have something to do with my sister's English teacher. She must be responsible for my sister's death. You must make the decision for my sister." The man also started talking and looked at Qiao Liang with a pleading look on his face.
"Leader, please."
As he spoke, the man suddenly stood up, walked to Qiao Liang, and knelt down again: "Boss, please make the decision for my sister."
"Hey, why are you kneeling again? Get up quickly." Qiao Liang was speechless and stretched out his hand to pull the man, "The man has gold under his knees, don't kneel down all the time."
"Leader, if you don't make the decision for my sister, I won't get up." The man choked, staring straight at Qiao Liang, as if Qiao Liang didn't agree that he would be unable to kneel down.
"You get up first and then talk." Qiao Liang frowned, "I didn't say I didn't care, what are you doing?"
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, when he saw that the man was still kneeling, he couldn't help but said: "You said that you, a big man, always kneel down, is that fair?"
"Leader, I really have no choice. As long as I can do something, who is willing to kneel down?" the man cried.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang was stunned. Yes, as long as there is some way, who is willing to kneel down? Who doesn't want dignity? Who doesn't want to live upright?
"You should get up first. I didn't say that I don't care about this matter, but just hearing you say that makes my mind a little confused. You should get up first and then talk about it." Qiao Liang sighed.
"Get up. County Magistrate Qiao is a man of his word. If he says he wants to take care of it, he will definitely take care of it. If you continue to kneel down, you will really make County Magistrate Qiao angry. Maybe he will just ignore it instead." He Qingqing helped. He spoke out and reached out to help the man up.
When the man heard what He Qingqing said, he seemed to be really afraid that Qiao Liang would be angry and ignore him, so he quickly stood up.
