172, Cause and Effect [Five Thousand Words Monthly Pass]
Jiangnan People's Hospital.
Wu Qi was wrapped like a rice dumpling with bandages. He had multiple bruises and fractures all over his body. In many places, he had just undergone surgery. The anesthesia had not worn off yet, and the electrocardiogram next to him kept showing wavy lines.
When he saw this, Wu Qi knew that he would not die, but in this situation, life was a bit worse than death.
In the bed next door, there was a little boy with a broken arm. He kept crying at first and felt that he was miserable.
Making trouble while eating.
Noisy while sleeping.
Making trouble in the toilet.
You need a pretty little nurse to get an injection, so the delicate ones don’t want it.
But after staring at Wu Qi on the bed next to him for a long time, he suddenly became quiet, feeling that the other person was miserable.
A small trace of compassion sprouted in my little heart.
Li Lifang took several meals from the cafeteria, sat on the sofa in Wu Qi's ward, and started eating her late lunch.
As the organizer, the Red Cross also has considerable responsibilities, and the People's Hospital is Li Lifang's workplace, so her free time is naturally arranged to take care of Wu Qi.
Even the signing of the rescue operation was done by Li Lifang.
Wu Qi, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt that his recovery was amazing at the moment. His head did not hurt and his legs were not sore. However, the bandages on his body felt a bit exaggerated.
He looked at Li Lifang with dry eyes and asked, "Why am I not dead?"
Li Lifang looked at him, curled her lips and said, "Logically speaking, you should have little hope of rescuing him. He was bleeding too much and it was basically hopeless. But that's strange to say."
Halfway through her words, Li Lifang suddenly hesitated.
"Why?" Wu Qi also couldn't understand.
According to the force of the impact at that time, I obviously felt that my soul was about to be knocked out of my body, my whole body felt like my internal organs were about to collapse, and I vomited blood all over the floor.
But under such circumstances, I can still lie on the hospital bed and communicate quietly with others. This is completely unbelievable.
"Don't you have family in Jiangnan City?" Li Lifang asked.
Wu Qi shook his head and said nothing.
"Your school leaders came to see you, and the supplements and fruits on the table were all brought by them." Li Lifang took a few mouthfuls of rice and continued: "I know even if you don't tell me, you are from the north, and you only applied for Jiangnan this year.
Mathematics teacher from No. 8 Middle School, am I right?"
"Have you investigated this clearly?" Wu Qi couldn't move his head and could only glance at Li Lifang with his eyes.
"This is what Officer Gu from the Furong Police Station told me. He was the handsome policeman standing next to you on the stage that day." Li Lifang said.
Wu Qi tried to think back...
I have no idea about the policeman, but if I add the word "handsome" in front of it, I immediately think of this person.
"Gu Chen?"
"Yes, it's Officer Gu Chengu." Li Lifang nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, the driver responsible for the accident has been found and is currently being detained for investigation."
Wu Qi sighed, feeling that this was not the result he wanted.
"Thank you Gu Chen for me." Wu Qi suddenly said.
"Don't you want to thank me?" Li Lifang raised her eyebrows and asked, "At any rate, I was the one who saved you from death."
Seeing that Wu Qi didn't respond, Li Lifang suddenly felt embarrassed: "Okay, I was just joking."
"Thank you." Wu Qi tried his best to turn his head: "Thank you, but if you can, tell Officer Gu not to hold the perpetrator accountable."
"Is it because you want to commit suicide?" Li Lifang said casually.
Wu Qi was suddenly stunned and suddenly became nervous.
"It seems that Gu Chen's guess is correct." Li Lifang took out a tissue and touched the corner of her mouth: "You just want to commit suicide, that's why you did such a dangerous move."
Later, Li Lifang threw the tissue and lunch box into the trash can at the door.
"What else does he know?" Wu Qi asked with some confusion.
"I don't know about this. Gu Chen will come over later. You can ask him yourself." As soon as Li Lifang finished speaking, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had already arrived at the door.
"Hey! You two seem to be Cao Cao's attributes, you came so quickly." Li Lifang couldn't help but laugh.
"Sorry, Sister Li."
"No trouble."
"You still have to go to work?"
"Yes, you are here, I have to go now."
After Li Lifang briefly explained a few words, she left.
The little boy in the bed next door quickly got under the quilt when he saw the two policemen coming in, and then revealed a pair of secretly observing eyes.
"Teacher Wu, are you feeling better?" Gu Chen took some supplements and put them on Wu Qi's bedside table.
"I feel much better, thank you Gu Chen." After thinking about it, Wu Qi said again: "You and I only have a relationship, you don't have to be so polite to me."
"I heard that Teacher Wu is from the north?" Lu Weiwei straightened her shirt and sat dignifiedly beside Wu Qi's bed: "Gu Chen and I specially selected some special supplements from the north. I hope you can get used to eating them."
Wu Qi, who was very vigilant, already knew the purpose of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's trip from Li Lifang's words just now.
That's right, they came to investigate themselves.
"Please sit down, Gu Chen." Wu Qi said calmly.
"Do I need anything to help you?" Gu Chen asked.
"No need." Wu Qi decisively refused.
Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and said first: "It was really dangerous that day. The driver drove too hard and dared to increase the accelerator at the intersection."
Wu Qi looked at Lu Weiwei with a smile, and sighed: "I know what you want to say, it doesn't matter, I have died once anyway, and I have taken a dim view of many things."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei immediately took out the recorder and notebook she had prepared.
Gu Chen took off his police hat and threw it aside: "Wu Qi, I have investigated your situation and found that you took the initiative to hit the off-road vehicle, but I hope you are not trying to get into trouble, and I don't want you to go there.
Seeking death, but I just want to know why you do this?"
"Yes." Lu Weiwei opened the voice recorder, picked up the notebook and said, "Life is precious, but we must cherish it."
"I can't help it." Wu Qi closed his eyes and said melancholy: "I am awakened by nightmares every night. As soon as I close my eyes, countless students in school uniforms will spit on me.
"
"They would throw eggs at me and call me a bastard behind my back. I live in fear every day. I can no longer tell what is reality and what is illusion."
Suddenly, Wu Qi opened his eyes and asked, "Gu Chen, can you understand this kind of pain?"
"This?" Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and said: "But according to our investigation of your file, you have no criminal record, and you have been rated as an outstanding teacher for several consecutive years in a key middle school in the north. But you
With such qualifications, to suddenly go far away and come to Jiangnan City to work as a teacher in an ordinary middle school, I feel... it is indeed a bit unjustifiable."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also said: "You are a teacher who just applied for Jiangnan No. 8 Middle School this year. Before that, you have been rated as an outstanding teacher in your hometown for many years in a row. Why do you need to come to this strange city?
Woolen cloth?"
In Lu Weiwei's view, although Jiangnan City has a developed economy and a large floating population, it still faces great pressure to survive.
Compared with Wu Qi's hometown city, although the salary will be slightly lower than that in Jiangnan City.
But there are my own relatives, my own friends, my familiar workplace and environment, and various educational resources.
These are things Jiangnan City cannot give...
It would be easy to say that the salary doubled, but Wu Qi did not enter a private high school such as a foreign language school, but got an ordinary temporary contract at a public middle school.
Judging from various signs, Wu Qi came to Jiangnan City not to actually work, but may have another purpose.
Therefore, while Wu Qi was hospitalized, Gu Chen also privately investigated Wu Qi's activities in Jiangnan City in the past six months.
I asked teachers from No. 8 Middle School and some students who knew him relatively well.
I found that Wu Qi is a quiet person...
He would not participate in private teacher team building meetings.
After completing their own work, they are never required to work overtime or be on duty, so teachers’ salaries are relatively low.
"I came to Jiangnan City just to escape reality." Wu Qi finally relented, seeming to have let go of the burden: "When I was invigilating the high school entrance examination last year, I found a female student secretly reading a small note under the test paper.
, based on experience, this is 100% cheating.”
"It's definitely wrong to cheat." Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen: "I cheated on exams when I was a child, but I didn't dare to do so in the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination."
Gu Chen was silent for two seconds and asked, "So, how did Teacher Wu handle this matter?"
"I ordered her to stand up and get out for me." Wu Qi coughed twice and answered, "But she asked me confusedly, Teacher, what's wrong with me? I said what's wrong with you? You know best.
,Don’t you feel embarrassed? Please get out right away.”
After saying this, Wu Qi's tears began to well up in his eyes, and he began to choke at one point.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked away and looked at each other awkwardly.
Gu Chen said: "I think if you really cheated, you should still be punished, but you spoke too harshly, and you should look at the note first, what if it's just a draft?"
"Junior brother Gu is right." Lu Weiwei also expressed her opinion: "I think no matter what, you should read the note first. After all, the high school entrance examination is also a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops crossing it, and it often affects the future of students."
"If the female student is really cheating, you can call her out of the classroom quietly without scolding her in person. This will not only affect other candidates, but also easily cast a shadow on the girl's psychology."
Since Lu Weiwei became a police officer, she has begun to look at problems from a God's perspective.
We will also fully consider the pros and cons of handling a matter...
"My temper at that time was like this. I would not tolerate cheating in the exam room, especially in the high school entrance exam." Wu Qi regretted it now and continued: "When the girl ran out of the exam room crying, I opened the door
When I took her test paper, I saw four words crookedly written on the paper below: calm down, restraint, and I understood it all at once."
Lu Weiwei suddenly became anxious: "Looking at the good things you have done, you should chase her back quickly."
"Yes, Teacher Wu, you are too reckless." Gu Chen was also opposed to Wu Qi's domineering behavior.
"It was too late." Wu Qi shook his head: "When I hurriedly chased her all the way to the school gate, she was nowhere to be seen. I caused her to miss the exam. This is all my fault."
"Oh, your character is really not good." Lu Weiwei also expressed regret and said angrily: "If it was normal, it would be fine, but for this kind of big exam, you made such a mistake, you are really ashamed of that female student, right
Right, Junior Brother Gu?"
Lu Weiwei looked up at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded and continued to ask: "What happened next? Did you take any remedial measures?"
Wu Qi shook his head: "I found out afterward that just the day before, her father was in a car accident and passed away. In the end, she failed to pass the high school entrance examination by six points. Later, I tried to find her and was willing to help her pay all the fees for her repeat studies.
, but she has already left and went south to work. I heard she came to Jiangnan City."
After calming down, Wu Qi continued to sigh: "After that, I applied to leave the education position I loved because I knew in my heart that I was not worthy of being a people's teacher."
"But you don't have to be so extreme. You have to despise life. There is always room for negotiation in everything." Although Gu Chen knew the reason, he couldn't understand why Wu Qi took the initiative to seek death.
"I can't help it." Wu Qi ignored the bandage on his head and shook his head fiercely: "After this incident came out, all the students, parents, teachers in the workplace, and people in society began to criticize me verbally. They
They feel that I am a bad person and not worthy of being a teacher, so I should get out of the local teaching team. I have no place in my hometown. All the angry parents are asking the school to punish me."
"Internet violence is too severe. Instead of staying there shamelessly, it is better to go far away. I tried to come to Jiangnan City to find the female student I was sorry for and let her accept my apology."
"But half a year has passed and I still have no news from her. I am a little desperate. Even every night when I close my eyes, the back of that girl crying will appear, and the sad eyes of her dead father will appear. I am about to collapse.
It’s over, I can’t bear it anymore.”
Gu Chen suddenly stood up and walked to Wu Qi: "Let me tell you, everyone is at fault in this matter, and you should also see a psychiatrist. How can you teach him well when one thing has tormented you like this?
My own students?”
"That's right." Lu Weiwei was also indignant: "You only have one life, why bother trying to live with it? What will happen to your family after you die? Have you ever considered this issue?"
Wu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you, but if I don't get her understanding, I won't be able to go back to my hometown, and I won't be recognized by my hometown people. Sometimes the person who unties the bell has to tie the bell. Only she can untie my bell."
The knot of heart and guilt are all because of that recklessness."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen took the transcript from Lu Weiwei and said, "Tell me the name and information of the female student, and we will try our best to help you find her, but you also have to promise me that if we don't find her,
Female students can no longer do such stupid things."
"Yes, like that off-road vehicle driver, people were almost scared to death by you, and he is still detained at the police station. You have caused misery to him."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Wu Qi kept saying sorry: "If you can find that female student, I won't care how you punish her."
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also roughly understood what happened.
In fact, it was just a small misunderstanding, but it led to the current situation that is out of control.
So Gu Chen also often said that he believed in cause and effect. Your behavior in a certain period of time will lead to your results in a certain period of time in the future.
This is not unreasonable...
Return to Furong Police Station Criminal Investigation Team Three.
Lu Weiwei curled her lips and asked Gu Chen: "Do you have any plans?"
"Is it difficult to find that girl...?" Gu Chen asked Lu Weiwei.
"Absolutely. Otherwise, why would Wu Qi still not be able to find that girl in Jiangnan City for more than half a year?" Lu Weiwei held her chin, looking depressed.
"Then there are only two possibilities." Gu Chen stretched out two fingers: "One is that the girl has left Jiangnan City and is not here at all, and the other is that the girl doesn't want to see Wu Qi at all."
Lu Weiwei was helpless and muttered: "We work so much, how can we find time to help Wu Qi find someone? It's impossible to be on TV, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bustling conversation in the corridor.
Officer Wang and several old comrades from the third group walked into the office with smiles. Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were there, they immediately walked over and said, "Gu Chen, you are lucky."
Gu Chen: "How to say?"
"Your public welfare photo of the Red Cross Society has gone viral, and it's trending on Weibo." Another old comrade also said: "Hurry and prepare, people from the TV station will come to interview you later, we are all waiting.
Showing your face."
"Hey, you're not waiting for me." Lu Weiwei became more and more confused as she listened: "The TV station is interviewing Junior Brother Gu, why are you showing your faces?"
The old comrade shook his finger and laughed at Lu Weiwei: "You don't understand at first glance, do you? This is an exclusive interview. Do you understand the interview?"
"I understand, I'm just interviewing Gu Chen, it has nothing to do with you." Lu Weiwei's answer was impeccable.
The old comrade was speechless for a moment, and he pushed Officer Wang out in a hurry: "Old Wang, go and explain to this girl."
"Well." Police Officer Wang said with embarrassment: "Isn't there such a link in the exclusive interview? It is to understand from the side, that is, from the interviewer's colleagues. Aren't we Gu Chen's colleagues and partners? Later, people from the TV station will
Come on, we can go on TV without showing anything. Lu Weiwei, you'd better put on makeup, Xiao Yang next door has started to wash his face."
Lu Weiwei: "..."
I feel like these people who are trying to steal the camera are too real, right? Can they be on TV like this?
"Then I'm going to touch up my makeup too." Lu Weiwei took out her makeup bag from the drawer and hurried to the women's room.
At the same time, a TV commercial vehicle was slowly driving into the Furong Police Station compound.
Zhao Guozhi, whose hair was meticulously combed, hid behind the door and took a sneak peek, then quickly strode out of the office building: "Well, Xiao Ding, please follow up on the case last time. And Xiao Li, I want to
Send that document to the office for me, I'm waiting to get it."
"Yes, Zhao Suo."
"Okay Zhao Office, I will go to Zhao Office right away."
Zhao Guozhi supported his waist, stood at the door and said "hmm" before turning around and walking back to the office building.
At this time, a beautiful female reporter holding a microphone and a photographer carrying a camera quickly ran a few steps and caught up with Zhao Guozhi.
"Are you Director Zhao? We are from Jiangnan City TV Station."
Zhao Guozhi looked back and pretended not to know: "TV station? What are you doing here?"
