The weather forecast said it would rain today, but as expected, the sky was covered by dark clouds early, making it gloomy and depressing.
Early in the morning, Li Xiangnian contacted Lu Tao, Zhang Yichi's class teacher, conducted an interview, and also questioned some students in the class through his class teacher. Although he had also approached everyone before, they were all focused on obtaining Lu Tao's information.
Information, this time Li Xiangnian just wanted to learn about Zhang Yichi from these people.
The content is as follows:
[Class teacher: Actually speaking, Zhang Yichi is the most special person in our class. All roads lead to Rome, but he was born in Rome. The family conditions are so good, I feel that it has a great influence on this child’s values. Usually he
He has a kind of contempt for other students in the class, and really doesn’t know what to say. This child feels deep down that he is not from the same world as other students in the class, and even our teacher. He often bullies other students, causing trouble in the class.
People are panic-stricken, but their parents have some relationship with the school leaders. They have been punished several times and have calmed down for a while. Expelling them is not that easy.】
[Li Xiangnian: Don’t his parents care? 】
[Class teacher: His parents divorced when he was young. Now he is living with his father, but I feel that his father doesn’t care about him much. He has been working in other places. His father has not been called for several parent-teacher conferences, which is quite helpless.
.]
[Li Xiangnian: Do you think there have been any changes in him recently? It started when Lu Tao disappeared. 】
[Class teacher: Put it this way, I really feel that there have been a lot of changes. I haven’t had much trouble this week. I am quite calm and have become polite. Like before, there must be some problems every week. The few of us who teach
Teachers are mentally prepared.】
——
[Classmate 1: This person is really a gangster. Even other schools know that we have such a rat that ruins a good pot of soup. I don’t know why the school still keeps him instead of expelling him.
Or be expelled directly. Well... yes, we had conflicts before. We bumped shoulders when we passed by. He was in a bad mood at the time, so he beat me up in the class. I am the class monitor, how shameless.
There are many people behind him, and I don’t dare to resist. But if the school votes anonymously to expel him, I will definitely be the first to stand up.]
[Classmate 2: Actually, we haven’t interacted much. Every time I met him, I would stay away for fear of getting into trouble. Our monitor had beaten him up. How could we dare to talk back to him? The class teacher? The class teacher couldn’t help him.
Ah, our former head teacher is so cowardly, and now this one can’t be calmed down to be honest. The last time we had contact... was when he asked me to buy water for him on Monday. Do you hope that he will be expelled? Of course I do.
, I never want to have anything to do with this person in my life.】
[Classmate 3: It’s not what I said. This kind of person is trash. He can only bring trouble to others while he is alive. I don’t know what the school thinks. This kind of person can still stay. If I were the principal, he would just say it without saying a word.
Expelled. Hey, I can’t say for sure. If I were the principal, how would I have time to care about such a trivial matter?】

It was already noon when the interview was completed. Li Xiangnian drove to find a place to eat, and finally ended up at Zhang Yichi's community by accident.
I found a food stall outside the community and bought something to eat. Li Xiangnian got back in the car, started to eat, and sorted out the content of the interview.
After eating, it started to rain heavily outside. Li Xiangnian turned on the windshield wipers and drove to the downstairs of Zhang Yichi's house. By chance, Zhang Yichi, wearing a black raincoat, walked out of the unit door.
Li Xiangnian rolled down the window, and Zhang Yichi said in a mocking tone: "Here we go again."
"Get in the car and talk?" Li Xiangnian said. He looked at Zhang Yichi and felt that he was a little different today.
"Let's talk like this, I'm in a hurry." Zhang Yichi glanced at the time on his phone and walked to the car.
It was pouring rain, and the two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds.
For a moment, Li Xiangnian didn't know how to ask the question. He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then said, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the Internet cafe. What, are you interested in going together?" Zhang Yichi said calmly with an indifferent look.
"No. I still want to talk to you about Lu Tao. I think you know the inside story of this matter very well. Now that we've reached this point, what's the point of hiding it?" Li Xiangnian said.
"Boom!" A deafening thunder sounded, and the thunder and lightning seemed to be whipping the air.
Zhang Yichi glanced impatiently to the left: "I really don't understand what you are talking about. If there is something wrong, it would be better to tell it directly. In addition, it is best to have some evidence that can scare me half to death."
"I went to talk to your class teacher and classmates." Li Xiangnian said.
"Oh, I'm in a hurry to play the game. You can investigate slowly by yourself and find Lu Tao quickly. Don't let us worry." After that, Zhang Yichi turned and left.
"I heard from many people that you seemed to be a different person this week and acted very abnormally. To put it simply, you have restrained yourself a lot and are not as impetuous as before. Most people will restrain themselves only if they do something wrong.
And you have changed so much, you must have made a big mistake, right?" Li Xiangnian leaned out of the car window and said to Zhang Yichi's back, his voice was high-pitched and a bit rude. Seeing that Zhang Yichi kept walking, he added
He said a meaningful sentence, "Tomorrow is Mother's Day."
"That's right." Zhang Yichi froze, turned around and walked back. He looked at Li Xiangnian, whose face was sickly and pale, and said with a hint of provocation, "The medicine bottle contains all your life. How sad."
Li Xiangnian subconsciously looked at the medicine in his car.
"Please take the time to visit the hospital more often... It's not out of kindness, I just feel that compared to other characters who have lost their souls, people like you shouldn't die so early." After saying this this time, Zhang Yichi didn't look back.
The ground is gone.
Watching Zhang Yichi disappear in the rain, Li Xiangnian took a deep breath, his face changed again, and he coughed violently. This time the cough was even stronger, almost making him faint, and he felt that his body was about to be unable to hold on.
At the last moment, he insisted on dialing 120.

Zhang Yichi walked quickly, his face getting colder.
He checked his phone again, making careful arrangements for the little time he had left.
It's raining, cold, and energetic.
He pulled the brim of his raincoat forward, then took a cigarette and lit it. The smoke he exhaled was scattered by the rain, but the restless soul in his body calmed down a little.
Every time he passed by someone, he felt like he was getting further away from the world.
Gradually, he is moving away from this dirty world.
"Hiss...hoo..."
"Oh."
——
After being pushed into the intensive care unit and wearing an oxygen mask, Li Xiangnian was still conscious.
His old friend Cui Han and several colleagues from the police station had already rushed to stay with him.
"I have already called Ying'er. She will probably arrive tonight by plane." Cui Han leaned over and said to Li Xiangnian on the hospital bed.
Originally, Li Xiangnian wanted to say that it was nothing serious and there was no need to ask Ying'er to come all the way back to see him. But his fragile body made him feel a little scared. He hoped to see him when he was helpless.
His daughter sat next to him, so she nodded slightly to Cui Han and said with difficulty: "Thank you."
"What's going on, Lao Li!" Director Zhang Yimin also rushed over, looking anxious, "Why didn't you tell me that you had this disease? You kept saying that you just had a minor cough!"
Li Xiangnian could only smile.
At this time, Zhang Yimin's cell phone rang. He answered the phone and quickly lowered his voice: "What? There was a murder? Where is it? Has the murderer been caught? What's his name? Zhang, Zhang what? Zhang Yichi? Okay,
I understand, I'm in the hospital, I'll be there in a moment..."
Hearing the word Zhang Yichi, Li Xiangnian's eyes suddenly widened and he stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Yimin's sleeve: "Zhang Yichi?"
