Verhovinsky (20)

Fei Du paused without much obvious: "Wei?"

Xia Xiaonan nodded with a sob.

I don’t know if it was Lang Qiao’s illusion, but she felt that the moment Fei Du raised his eyes, there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes, so she silently swallowed the reminder of “covering the surveillance non-compliance” - anyway, there is more than one surveillance in this room, and covering one does not affect anything.

Fei Du slightly rolled up his shirt sleeves and sat down: "Who is this Wei Wenchuan?"

Xia Xiaonan whispered in a vague voice: "It's our squad leader."

Lang Qiao was originally acting as a clerk next to him. When he heard this, his pen suddenly paused: "How many squad leaders do you have in your class?"

"One...it's just him."

Wei Wenchuan has been to the Municipal Bureau.

On the day of Feng Bin's murder, the Municipal Bureau took over and sent someone out to find the middle school students. At the same time, Feng Bin's class teacher Ge Ni was called to ask questions. At that time, there was an extremely eye-catching young man with her and introduced himself as their class monitor. If something happened to the student, the Public Security Bureau would call the teacher and the school leader to ask questions, but it was impossible to call the underage students without notifying the parents. In other words, Wei Wenchuan followed him at that time!

So if this matter really had something to do with him, what did he think when he saw the busy police station, the parents of the victim who was in pain, and the trembling group of students?

Fear? Nervous?

Worrying that the incident of campus bullying is revealed, will you get involved?

No... Lang Qiao recalled carefully. She remembered that the boy was very calm at that time, but he was not concerned about himself. He watched calmly, was graceful and polite, and smiled three times when he saw others - if he was anxious, they would definitely notice it.

He was more like he came to check the results of his plan. No wonder the four students he found didn't dare to say a word in the Public Security Bureau!

A layer of coldness jumped onto Lang Qiao's back.

Fei Du next to him said to Xia Xiaonan in a hypnotic voice: "Can you tell me the specific story?"

Xia Xiaonan lowered her head, tears fell one after another, and soon wet the business card that Fei Du gave her. She held it tightly, as if the small piece of paper was a life-saving straw.

"In early December, one day I was not very comfortable, so I took leave and didn't go to physical education class, and I was reading a book alone in the classroom. Feng Bin suddenly returned to the class for some reason and told me that I was this year... this year..."

"Deer." Fei Du followed her voice, "I heard that you have just transferred to Yufen in high school. It seems that you already know what they call "deer", right?"

Xia Xiaonan tightened her shoulders: "...I saw them having dealt with Wang Xiao."

Fei Du made a very gentle listening attitude.

"They... Wang Xiao's bedroom and a few girls in the next dormitory one day, for some reason, threw her bedding out the window, pushed her, beat her, and scolded her a lot of bad words. I happened to pass by the downstairs of the dormitory. The quilt was smashed down and scared me. I didn't know what was going on. The girl next to me told me that Wang Xiao is the "deer", the most annoying person chosen by everyone every year. She is dirty and cheap, and whoever lives in the same dormitory with her will be unlucky. Later, someone from the boy's dormitory opposite came and said with a smile, 'This is already my slave, why are you hitting her again'. He also paid hundreds of dollars for the girls who hit people."

"..." Lang Qiao recalled the middle school days when he had to save a semester for a concert. It was like a fantasy, "How many hundred dollars?"

"It should be five hundred," Xia Xiaonan thought she was asking for the specific amount, and replied casually, "Because I remember that the girl who received the money counted and said, 'How did it become five hundred, and there is another one hundred less, Wang Xiao, you will reduce the price every day'... It's just like that."

"Wang Xiao didn't say anything, picked up all the things she had dropped by herself, and the girls refused to let her enter the dormitory building, saying that she had already 'sold' her and asked her to find a buyer. Then the boy waved to her, and she... went to the boy's dormitory..."

"What?" Lang Qiao almost jumped on the spot when she heard this, and was dumbfounded for a while. She stuttered, "This is too unreasonable. Is there no teacher in your dormitory building? Do you care?"

"There is a teacher," Xia Xiaonan whispered, "but I don't care... I don't dare to care."

Fei Du poured two glasses of water, put a glass in front of Lang Qiao and Xia Xiaonan, and said to Xia Xiaonan: "So you are afraid that you will be treated like this."

Xia Xiaonan almost squeezed out of her throat: "I stood beside her that day, and saw that she picked up those things, but she couldn't pick them up. I picked them up and fell down. I... really want to help her...but..."

Perhaps only those who fell to the ground and no one helped them will regret not being able to help others.

Fei Du smiled slightly and didn't answer the matter. He just asked again: "Feng Bin tells you that he has a solution, right? Have he told you in detail what he planned to do after leaving school?"

Xia Xiaonan said: "He said he had a friend outside the school and had a good connection and had already contacted him. He wanted to expose this matter and he had enough of this school."

Fei Du: "Who is this friend?"

"I don't know the real name, but I don't know if it's a pseudonym or a net name... It's very long, and it seems to be called 'Say hello to Shatov'. He promised us that we would announce all the messy things in the school."

Fei Du glanced at the corner of the wall silently - there was another inconspicuous surveillance camera on the roof of the corner of the wall. He seemed to have a look at the back of the surveillance camera: "Have you seen this friend?"

Xia Xiaonan shook her head blankly: "No, Feng Bin said that the man was out of town recently, but he had already made an appointment to come back on Christmas. We would stay in the hotel and wait for him for a few days...but...but we... didn't have time."

"Since you have decided to leave with Feng Bin, why did you regret it later?"

"Because... just the day before we left, Wei Wenchuan came to me. He said he knew everything, including how we planned to go, when we left, where we went, and who we were... He asked me to think clearly, because no one would care about the trivialities in the school, and at most I could find a few students to apologize, and it would be even more serious in the future... Besides, the media, the school... all their own ways... The society outside is like the school, and it is divided into different levels. Some people have the final say. He has a way to know our itinerary and plan in advance, and there are also ways to prevent me from going to school again... If you don't believe it, try it if you don't believe it."

Fei Du sighed, knowing that this passage was not a simple threat—or a real threat: "So you surrender."

"I... Wei Wenchuan told me that this time I was chosen as a deer, which was actually Liang Youjing's intention, because the exam stole her limelight and made her embarrassed in front of her parents - her mother is one of the school directors, and even if she kills someone in school, she can settle it. No one dares to mess with her at all, unless he goes to talk to Liang Youjing in person..."

"What does he want you to do?"

"He gave me a mobile phone with tracking and eavesdropping function... and also promised me that as long as this incident is over, I can go to high school safely and no one will come to cause trouble for me."

"Did you know what he wanted to do?"

"I don't know," Xia Xiaonan shook her head desperately, "I really don't know... I went to the bell and drum tower that day and suddenly met... I met that person. I was shocked at that time. Feng Bin pushed me and said 'Run' to me, I didn't react at all. What's going on? It's so dark, I even thought he was just beaten from behind... I didn't know that person... that person..."

I don’t know that the man was holding a knife, I don’t know that Feng Bin’s fear-filled “Run” was blurted out when he was injured in the back.

Because it was too dark, the sudden attack made people unable to react.

He was just hit from behind, right? Wei Wenchuan just found a group of little hooligans and wanted to teach Feng Bin a lesson, right?

She comforted herself in her heart, and her facial features and six senses had to follow her and deceive herself.

"So you didn't throw away that phone in the end?" Lang Qiao finally couldn't help asking this.

The blood on Xia Xiaonan's face faded.

No wonder the murderer is easy and easy.

Fei Du said: "As a result, you accidentally got into a dead end... Child, can you relax? The more detailed the information you give, the more we can catch the murderer who killed Feng Bin."

Xia Xiaonan curled herself into a ball, looking at Fei Du in a daze.

Fei Du tried to soften his voice and slowly guided her: "The situation was very urgent at that time. Feng Bin saw a dead end in front of him, but it was too late to withdraw, so he asked you to hide in a trash can. It was very late that day, and the one-person-high trash can was filled with a pungent and bad smell. Your head was covered with a plastic lid, and it was black all around, and you could not see anything. You could only hear the sound from outside... What did you hear?"

"...Help." Xia Xiaonan was silent for a while before muttering, "He started calling for help, but no one responded. Then he tried to talk to the murderer incoherently, asked who he was, and promised to give him all the money he had on him. The murderer... didn't say anything, and not long after, I heard the messy footsteps, a burst of noises... and screams... Later... there was no sound."

"After a while, I heard laughter, and...the sound of heavy objects stomping on the ground..."

It was not a heavy object stomping the ground, it was the dull sound made by Lu Guosheng when he cut off Feng Bin's limbs.

"Then the man walked towards me, he, he knew where I was hiding. I was too scared, and he was humming a song..." Xia Xiaonan learned a few words, "'Little Rabbit, please open the door'..."

A layer of goose bumps quickly rose on Lang Qiao's arms.

"Then he flipped me out of the trash can! I was so scared that I forgot to breathe, so he reached out to me, took my schoolbag, searched my phone and wallet... I thought I was dead, but... but he just smiled at me, swayed my phone, and left without saying anything. I, I saw Feng Bin... Feng Bin..."

Xia Xiaonan seemed to have returned to that midnight nightmare, her eyes lost their focus and kept breathing backwards.

Fei Du leaned over and held her hand. The temperature in the palm was cast on the back of the girl's cold hand, and suddenly called her back to reality. She was stunned and clung to Fei Du's hand like a collapse, as if her life was hanging on this line: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid..."

Any body and body have thousands of regrets in their life, and many kinds of regrets can be roughly classified into these six words.

Sorry, I'm scared.

Luo Wenzhou, who was watching the conversation in the surveillance room, turned around with a deep face and called Tao Ran: "Have the students involved in the case contacted the parents? What do you say?"

The environment in Taoran was very noisy: "It's a bit messy. The school is playing Tai Chi with me. I have answered seven or eight lawyers in the past five minutes. I said these rich children..."

"Take all back, including the dormitory teacher and the school manager," Luo Wenzhou said coldly, "The students in Yufen Middle School are suspected of abuse and collective sexual assault."

"What?" Tao Ran was shocked at first, and then immediately said, "I'll go now!"

Luo Wenzhou hung up the phone, stood at the door of the monitoring room, and breathed a long breath. Then he remembered something, lowered his head and opened the newly downloaded listening software on his phone.

In this issue, the title of the reader's submission is "The Devil Wanders in the Empty Night - Dostoevsky, "The Devils".

"Shatov" is a character in the book who is regarded as a "whistleblower" and is so subtly coincided with Feng Bin's encounter.

At that time, the man who contacted Feng Bin and promised to tell the dirty things about Yufen Middle School to the world... How could he be so well named "Say Hello to Shatov"?

Did someone... or a certain force have already predicted this murder when Feng Bin decided to take Xia Xiaonan away?

Are they planners or promoters?

Why did they make such a blatant appearance this time?

Luo Wenzhou stood in the narrow corridor, smoked two cigarettes, looked up at the vast sky outside the window, it was cloudy and snowing. He remembered the mysterious inspector he and Fei Du met in the alley of the Bell and Drum Tower that day, and felt as if he stretched out his hand and encountered the surging undercurrent under the calm water.

The strong intervention of the municipal bureau was like a sharp wrench, forcibly prying open the corner of the wall that was tainted with dirt.

That afternoon, all classes in Yufen Middle School were suspended. The police simply requisitioned the school office and talked separately. All the teachers and school workers involved were taken back to the municipal bureau. Some of the students who saw the light of day again under high pressure finally couldn't help but reveal the truth, and then it was out of control.

In the evening that day, like the superman on his clothes and his raised fists, the little fat man Zhang Yifan was the first to stand up with his real name and wrote a long, naive article, which was posted online. After a brief silence, the silent lambs finally stopped their confused steps and made a faint roar... gradually gathered into a roar.

Shocked parents flocked to the city bureau and almost took action.

The chaotic investigation and evidence collection work continued until 10 o'clock in the evening, and was suspended because of the physical and mental conditions of the minors. The unlucky Tao Ran made a come true - he had to work overtime on the weekend.

On the way home, Fei Du stopped talking without saying a word.

Luo Wenzhou turned his head and saw him lying on the passenger seat, and he was sitting upright and fell asleep. He had to drive the warm air to the maximum and drive home as smoothly as possible. When he entered the community, he grabbed Fei Du's hand and shook it gently: "Wake up, get off the bus, don't blow the cold wind."

Fei Du sat a little stiffly on his waist and responded barely. Before he woke up, he stared straight ahead in a daze until Luo Wenzhou stopped and entered.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Wenzhou reached out and grabbed his head, touched his warm neck, and tightened his scarf again, "Go home quickly."
