Kong Bingxuan nodded. Chen Bai was about to leave, but he asked as if he remembered something.
"By the way, what is the specific address of the place where Jiang Yulong makes up classes?"
"That building, Unit 6, 302!"
Kong Bingxuan pointed to the residential building opposite. Chen Bai nodded and took out his cell phone to call Da Binzi.
"Teacher Chen, why are you calling me here in such a hurry?"
Da Binzi knew that this was the deceased's community, but hadn't Teacher Chen already seen the deceased's home? What else could happen?
"I decided to go to the place where the deceased often made up for classes. I don't have an ID and I need you to show it next to me."
Da Binzi nodded, and the two came to the opposite side 302.
"Bang bang bang!"
The door opened, and it was an old lady in her sixties who opened the door. Seeing Chen Bai and Da Binzi standing at the door, the old lady asked with some confusion.
"Boy, what's the matter?"
"Hello, we are the police. We are here to ask you about Jiang Yulong."
Da Binzi took out his ID as he spoke, and the old man nodded and invited the two of them into the house.
"What's wrong with Jiang Yulong?"
Chen Bai and Da Binzi looked at each other, and finally Chen Bai spoke.
"You are Jiang Yulong's teacher, right? What is your name?"
"My name is Wong!"
Chen Bai rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment.
"Jiang Yulong is dead. We are here just to ask who Jiang Yulong is usually close to."
The old lady was stunned when she heard the news and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Jiang Yulong is dead?"
"Teacher Wang, I know you can't accept it in your heart, but now it has become a fact. Jiang Yulong's death was strange, that's why we came here to investigate. I want to ask you who Jiang Yulong is usually closer to?"
Teacher Wang thought for a moment and pointed to a girl about the same age as Jiang Yulong in the living room.
"This girl is the only one in my cram school who can talk to Jiang Yulong. In addition to studying together, they usually take books from my bookcase to read. Her father left very early, and her mother is usually busy with work.
I left the little girl here, and she was very obedient and read there quietly after finishing her homework. When Jiang Yulong was here, the two of us would occasionally go out for a walk."
Chen Bai nodded, slowly stood up and walked to the little girl. Chen Bai saw that the little girl had finished her homework and was reading a book "How Steel Was Tempered". Chen Bai did not speak.
He just stood quietly behind the little girl.
"Do you also like reading this book "How Steel Was Tempered"?"
"Yeah, but I haven't seen much just now. Is life really so painful, uncle? Why should we persist in such a painful life?"
Chen Bai smiled and sat next to the little girl.
"There is a sentence at the beginning of this book that I particularly like. Steel is formed after being burned in fire and highly cooled, so it becomes hard and fearless. The pain in life is the burning flame, and the suffering is repeated tempering.
, we cannot avoid facing pain and suffering, we cannot escape, so we face it wisely.”
The little girl nodded, and Chen Bai reached out and touched the little girl's head.
"Uncle wants to ask you something. Do you know about your good relationship with Jiang Yulong?"
Chen Bai noticed that when he mentioned Jiang Yulong, the little girl's expression suddenly changed. She became a little nervous. Recalling what the sixth brother said to him, that girl couldn't be her, right?
"I, I don't know!"
The little girl pinched her clothes and looked very nervous.
"Kid, don't be nervous. Uncle just wants to ask you something. If you know anything, just tell me."
Chen Bai stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face.
"Uncle, what's wrong with Jiang Yulong?"
Chen Bai lowered his head. He really didn't know how to tell this little girl that Jiang Yulong was dead.
"Uncle, I heard everything just now. You said that Jiang Yulong is dead, can I go and see him?"
"this....."
Chen Bai was a little hesitant. After all, no one could say whether letting such a young child see the corpse would have psychological effects.
"Let's not talk about this for now. You and Jiang Yulong are friends. Do you know anything about Jiang Yulong?"
The girl lowered her head and said nothing. Chen Bai did not urge the girl, but just looked at the girl quietly.
"Uncle policeman, Jiang Yulong is actually a good boy. He would never fight with others or offend others easily. I only know of one person who is a little dissatisfied with Jiang Yulong, and that is Li Meng from Class Five.
I heard Jiang Yulong say that he was very powerful in the school. One time when I went to find Jiang Yulong, Li Meng saw me, and Li Meng insisted on getting to know me. Jiang Yulong just said a word for me, and he was
Li Meng and the others were beaten. After that, I went to Li Meng and asked him to stop bullying Jiang Yulong, but Li Meng told me that as long as I didn't become his girlfriend, he would never let Jiang Yulong go.
"
Chen Bai nodded, but he was already very angry in his heart. Children nowadays are too arrogant. Who do they think they are that dare to be so domineering?
"What happened after that? What happened after that?"
"I had no choice but to agree to Li Meng, and then Li Meng stopped quarreling with Jiang Yulong. But I could see that many times Jiang Yulong came to class with injuries all over his body. Jiang Yulong went to the teacher but didn't bother him at all.
It’s useless, the teacher always told Jiang Yulong that you just need to ignore them, and why others always hit you, you should look for the reasons from yourself."
Chen Bai is helpless, this is indeed what many teachers like to say.
"But just two weeks ago, Jiang Yulong suddenly became very happy, with a smile on his face every day. I asked him what made him so happy, but he didn't tell me. He had never been so happy before. I think this
It was a good thing so I didn’t ask any more questions.”
After coming out of the cram school, Chen Bai has been frowning. Jiang Yulong died very strangely. Who opened the door to the archives room? Why did Jiang Yulong fall in the archives room? What happened before? And what happened?
, this Li Meng who had a conflict with Jiang Yulong, where was he before Jiang Yulong fell from the building.
"Teacher Chen, what should we do now?"
"Go back first and see what new discoveries are made by Forensic Doctor Song, and also see what the school surveillance results are."
But Chen Bai's thoughts were a little too good. Those students would avoid the school's cameras if they really fought. How could they leave evidence? However, the mobile phone handed over to the Internet police did find something interesting.
"Li Meng is actually blackmailing Jiang Yulong?"
"Yes, judging from the messages Li Meng sent to Jiang Yulong, he has indeed been blackmailing Jiang Yulong. At the beginning, Jiang Yulong did not have any money, but later it seemed that after being beaten several times, Jiang Yulong
Yulong started to give money. From the minimum of five and ten yuan, to thirty-fifty, until finally Li Meng even started to ask for one thousand yuan."
Hearing this, Bai Hongwei slapped the table hard.
"This is too much. It has already constituted a crime of extortion. Chen Bai, I can lead people to bring this guy back now. Even if he is underage, he can still be convicted."
"Bai Hongwei, don't get excited yet!"
Chen Bai knew that compared to Li Meng's extortion, the cause of Jiang Yulong's death was the most important.
"Hurry up!"
Li Meng was sitting in the Internet cafe, smoking a cigarette and tapping the keyboard frantically. For him now, whether he goes to school or not is no longer important.
"Boss, there is no more machine!"
Li Meng raised his head and realized that the entire Internet cafe was already full.
"After I finish this fight, let's change places to play!"
After speaking, Li Meng casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground and continued to stare at the computer screen.
"Boss, is Jiang Yulong's matter really okay?"
A tall, thin boy wearing glasses next to Li Meng asked worriedly. When Li Meng heard this, he said impatiently while playing a game.
"What can happen? What can happen? Didn't we just beat him up? Jiang Yulong was still alive before we left. What happens after that has nothing to do with us. Besides, you don't know that Jiang Yulong is here
What kind of popularity is there in the class? For that guy, even if we killed people in front of his class, they wouldn't have any reaction. Also, you all took action at that time. I saw you beating him.
But there’s not so much hesitation.”
Li Meng didn't care at all. For him, it was just a boy who was not very popular in the class. With his family and status in the school, he didn't have to worry about this at all.
"That's true, but the police have already started investigating this matter. I think it won't take long to find us. We..."
Li Meng's game was over, and he leaned back in his chair with a gloomy face and said nothing.
"Boss, we were the ones who took Jiang Yulong to the archives room, and we were the ones who beat him. In the end, Jiang Yulong still fell from the archives room. The police will find out about this sooner or later, and we really won't be able to tell by then."
Li Meng nodded and looked at the boy wearing glasses beside him.
"Then do you have any good ideas?"
"Boss, if I have a good idea, I won't ask you."
Li Meng lit a cigarette. In fact, he had no good solution for the time being.
"It's okay. As long as you don't say anything, it will be fine. As for the police, I will take care of it."
Although Chen Bai had determined that Li Meng was probably related to Jiang Yulong's death, without evidence, they decided to ask Jiang Yulong's teacher first. This time Chen Bai still took Da Bin with him.
Act together.
"Comrade police, actually I have nothing to say about Jiang Yulong. It is no better than before. Although I am a class teacher, I also teach Chinese to three classes at the same time. It is impossible for me to understand everyone. Jiang Yulong is usually bloody
His grades are average, but he is indeed an honest child. He has not had any conflicts with his classmates. However, I know that Jiang Yulong’s parents have long been gone. Jiang Yulong has been living with his grandfather. He usually goes to the supermarket near his home.
Part-time job, I think you can go to the supermarket where he works."
"Teacher Zhang, I know you are very busy at work, but now that someone has died, I hope you can take it seriously. You are the teacher of Jiang Yulong's class. It is impossible for you not to know what is going on in your class."
Chen Bai was a little upset, thinking why teachers today are like this.
"I know this, but I really don't know. I usually either go to class or prepare lessons. I rarely go to class, and I don't know some things."
Chen Bai smiled and said nothing, staring intently at the woman in front of him.
"Teacher Zhang, I just saw the class schedule of your class. It seems that Jiang Yulong happened to be in your class when his accident happened. Didn't you ask if there were no students in the class? This can be considered a dereliction of duty on your part!"
After Chen Bai said this, the woman immediately became nervous.
"Officer, what are you talking about? Of course I asked at that time, but the classmates all said that Jiang Yulong had gone to the toilet. I didn't care at the time and thought that Jiang Yulong would never lie to others, so I didn't care.
Later I found out that Jiang Yulong didn’t come back from even one class, and then I found out that Jiang Yulong had fallen from the building.”
Chen Bai smiled, but his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Your own student hasn't come back from a single class, so you just asked casually and that's it? Did you know that he has been bullied all year round? During our autopsy, we found that he had many old scars on his body, which were caused by being beaten for many years.
Yes, do you know all this?"
The woman was speechless by Chen Bai's question. She lowered her head for a long time before she raised her head and spoke.
"Of course I know, of course I know these, but there are some things I can't control..."
Chen Bai stopped asking, because Chen Bai knew that even if he brought this woman to the interrogation room, nothing would be asked.
"Who killed Jiang Yulong?"
Chen Bai was sitting in the office, looking at the evidence compiled in front of him. In fact, what Chen Bai was wondering about was who could do such a cruel thing to Jiang Yulong. Song Anchun said that Jiang Yulong jumped by himself, so why?
Why did Jiang Yulong choose to jump off the building? Was he beaten too hard? No way! No matter how rampant these children are, they won't force people to jump off the building, right?
Mysteries kept exploding in Chen Bai's mind one after another. Chen Bai felt as if he was in a fog and couldn't see the way forward clearly.
"Teacher Chen, let's have something to eat!"
Da Binzi handed over the instant noodles in his hand, and Chen Bai took the instant noodles and put them on the table.
"Da Binzi, what do you think of this case?"
"Teacher Chen, I think Jiang Yulong may have been threatened. Someone may have told him that if you don't jump down, what will happen to us?"
Chen Bai shook his head, what could those children threaten Jiang Yulong? Are they going to beat him if he doesn't jump down? Jiang Yulong is not a fool. Doesn't Jiang Yulong know that he will die if he jumps? No matter how hard they beat, they will not beat him to death.
Yes, it won't really beat people to death.
"I don't know. I can't think of any other reason besides this."
Chen Bai didn't have any ideas for a while. Just when Chen Bai was picking up the instant noodles and preparing to eat them, he suddenly saw the notebook on the table. It was taken from Jiang Yulong's house. He had never looked at it since he got it back.
"Teacher Chen, what is this?"
"I don't know, I found this at Jiang Yulong's house."
Chen Bai opened the notebook and found that it seemed to be Jiang Yulong's diary. Chen Bai frowned after reading a few entries.
November 11, 2021. Today, a transfer student came to our class. It is said that he was ill when he was a child and did not have time to go to school, so he has been studying by himself. Now he has been admitted to the No. 24 Middle School. It seems that he is a top student.
On November 20, 2021, why does Chen Huanxuan keep targeting me? What does my deskmate's failure in the exam have to do with me? I didn't cause trouble or plagiarize. Why is it my fault that I didn't get first place in the class? What about those girls?
I trampled on my homework and soiled my white pants with my feet, and then blew my shoes. Didn't I offend them?
On November 22, 2021, when I was running 100 meters near the finish line in physical education class, I was tripped by Chen Huanxuan. My pants had a big rip from my thigh to my knee. Even the woolen pants and long johns inside were torn, and everything on my legs was broken.
It was blood, but the teacher didn't see it. I just stood up and wanted to ask him why he was like this, but he looked at me with a proud face. I went to find the teacher, but when the teacher came, he told the teacher that I hit him.
I fell like this after chasing him. Several girls nearby testified to him, and a few spoke for me. But the teacher ignored him and made me stand. I didn’t dare to tell my grandpa when I got home.
I could wait and mend my pants myself after I fell asleep. But I only had one school uniform. Even buying a new uniform would take a week, so I could only wear the torn pants for a week.
On December 1, 2021, when I was answering questions in the class mock test, Chen Huanxuan reported me to the teacher for cheating, and said he saw the small note I had in my drawer. I refuted loudly, but when the teacher came over, it turned out to be in my drawer.
The note was found and my test scores were revoked, but I really didn't cheat.
On December 14, 2021, after school, I was blocked by Brother Six as soon as I left the school gate on my bicycle. Before I could react, Brother Six directly pulled me out of the car. Then I saw countless sticks pointing at me.
When I called, I had no idea where I had offended Brother Six, but just as I was curling up with my head in my hands, I saw Chen Huanxuan not far away staring at me and laughing.
On December 15, 2021, I told the teacher what happened yesterday, but the teacher said that I was not very good at studying and that I was thinking about how to slander my classmates all day long. The teacher asked me to write a thousand-word review and asked me to
I read aloud in front of the whole class during the lunch break in the afternoon. I didn’t write wrong at all. Why did I have to write a self-criticism after being beaten? During the lunch break in the afternoon, because I didn’t write a self-censorship, I was punished to stand all afternoon. Chen Huanxuan read
I stood there smiling all afternoon.
On December 20, 2021, there is still more than half a month before the final exam. I don’t think about anything now, I just want to study hard and strive to advance a few places during the exam.
On December 24, 2021, many classmates gave apples to each other on Christmas Eve. Many girls gave apples to Chen Huanxuan. He looked at me like he was looking at a beggar on the roadside. I didn’t know what I had offended.
He, but I have no interest in these at all now. We will be divided into classes in the third grade of junior high school. If he studies so well, he will definitely not be in the same class as me.
