After leaving Cai Wangjin's office, Yu Jingque went to the school first to lead the investigation.
There aren't many clues.
Why did the dead police officer appear in the back mountain, a place where no one comes? There were only footprints on the ground by the police officer, and no students knew the murder weapon.
And if you say something unpleasant, even if there are students who know it, no one will say it.
The investigation has made little progress, but this is not the point. The point is to continue the investigation. They have enough reasons to stay in the school, and the intensity of the investigation can be greater.
Some people in the Bingcheng literary world have begun to put pressure on the Japanese, wanting the school to be a clean place.
But after the police officer died in the school, the pressure from these literati no longer existed.
Some of the students clapped their hands and thought that the police officer died well, but they did not know what danger was waiting for them.
At the end of the day's investigation, Li Qingxi reported to Yu Jingque. There was not much useful information.
The reason is that the students did not cooperate with the work. Even if someone did see this police officer last night and followed a student to the back mountain, no one would tell them.
Seeing that the progress was not going well, Li Qingxi suggested: "Chief, let's set up some rewards. If anyone provides clues, we will give money, and we can protect their identity from other students."
Li Qingxi's insidiousness is really insidious.
Yu Jingque also thought of this method. He didn't want to say it, but now that Li Qingxi said it, he had no reason to refuse.
He could only nod his head and said: "Okay, let the news out, and say that you can provide information secretly. As long as it is useful, regardless of whether the murderer is caught or not, there will be a monetary reward, and the amount will be set higher."
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
So under the inducement of money, maybe someone will come forward and leak the news?
The temptation of money is still attractive to you even if you haven't stepped out of school yet.
Li Qingxi went to take charge of the matter, and Yu Jingque ran to find Kong Chen.
After meeting Kong Chen, Yu Jingque asked: "Do you know everything?"
Kong Chen nodded and said, "I understand."
Yu Jingque first went back to the Secret Service Section and made a report before looking for Kong Chen. This route was not surprising.
As expected, Kong Chen already knew what was going on in the school.
Yu Jingque said: "You can't be a student of the organization and you can't hold it back."
"For people who are not in the organization, this kind of thing will bring serious consequences. Students of organizational development will not fail to understand this truth."
"The organization has already inquired, and it was not their fault." Kong Chen answered Yu Jingque's question.
In fact, Yu Jingque also believed that it was not someone from the organization who did it.
After all, this matter was indeed a bit impulsive.
"It's a good thing to have people who hate evil among students, but the consequences this time are not very good."
"Originally, the Japanese were under pressure and might have restrained their investigation of the school, and the Secret Service might even be withdrawn."
"It's just now..." Yu Jingque stopped talking, and Kong Chen also understood.
"The organization contacted some influential gentlemen in the literary world and worked together to put pressure on the Japanese, but now they have failed." Kong Chen's words were not surprising to Yu Jingque. He knew that there should be organizational power behind it.
And those people are willing to help, after all, who wants to see the school in a mess.
Instead of being a place to learn knowledge, it has become a battlefield for the Secret Service.
"In fact, some literati are not willing to do what we are doing. They feel that we should not turn the school into a battlefield and lead people from the Secret Service Department into the school."
"Actually, they don't agree with us and those who develop organizations in schools." Kong Chen said with a helpless smile.
Yu Jingque felt that the literati who could say such things were relatively pedantic.
If the country is no longer a country, will the school still be a school?
If these people who have learned advanced knowledge don't even know what their own country is or what they should do, are they still considered students?
Do those literati think that as long as they don't cause trouble, what they should do every day will be the same as usual?
Yes, they are the same as usual, and even the Japanese are polite to them.
But what about ordinary people?
"Pedantry." Yu Jingque had to say.
"These gentlemen are old." Kong Chen helped and said a kind word.
Yu Jingque shook his head and said: "This is not a matter of age. Isn't it obvious to see whether the old professor is old or not?"
Yu Jingque believes that being older is just one aspect. Didn’t the books you read before teach you what it means to protect your family and your country?
Schools should not become a battlefield for organizations and special agents, but most of China has become a battlefield. Can your school survive?
Yu Jingque said: "Now we have to find a solution."
Those literati, whether they were willing or unwilling, had told the Japanese about this before and wanted the school to be clean.
But after the police officer died, their words no longer worked, and now a new solution needed to be thought of.
Kong Chen whispered: "The organization hasn't had time to discuss it yet, and Xuehu doesn't have a good solution."
What happened last night, the organization really didn't have time to make a decision. Even Kong Chen knew about it overnight, otherwise the news wouldn't have spread so quickly.
Hearing Kong Chen's words, Yu Jingque sighed and said: "If this continues, even if the students of Organization Development can hold it back, many people in the school will die unjustly."
The two former students were killed by the Japanese in this way. How many more will be left after that?
When Kong Chen thought about this incident, he frowned and wished he could crush the Japanese to ashes.
"Xuehu and I have roughly discussed it. Perhaps the simplest solution now is to catch the murderer and give an explanation to the Special Service Department and the Japanese."
"After that, those old gentlemen continued to come forward to ask the Japanese to stop. After all, the murderer they were looking for had been found," Kong Chen said.
Catch the murderer and give the Japanese an explanation.
Sacrifice one person and save many?
Yu Jingque shook his head and said: "No, it is unfair to that person if we do this."
That person dared to kill a police officer, which showed his determination to resist Japan and save the country. If this person was to be caught and handed over to the Japanese to free the school from difficulties, Yu Jingque felt that he could not accept it psychologically.
If you judge very, very rationally, you may think it's worth it if you trade one person for many people.
But there is no equivalent exchange in life.
Everyone has only one life, and you have no right to decide the value of the other person's life.
Hearing Yu Jingque's refusal, Kong Chen smiled and said, "Xue Hu said it back then, and you wouldn't agree."
"Do you agree?" Yu Jingque asked Kong Chen.
Kong Chen shook his head and said, "I don't agree either."
"But the Secret Service has already investigated in the school. If the murderer is found, can you not arrest him?"
"If you arrest someone, then this is a solution." Kong Chen said very rationally.
They don't want to exchange this person's sacrifice for anything, but what if this person is caught?
At that time, maybe this is a way.
Yu Jingque had to admit that what Kong Chen said made sense. The Secret Service was investigating and arresting people. If someone really provided clues, what could Yu Jingque do?
Is it possible to let someone go in front of so many police officers? (To be continued)
