Xi Yu sat up. The quilt was as clean as when they first arrived, but the wall around her was slowly seeping blood, and it was old, dry, dark blood.
She used the knife at hand to try to scrape off the newly painted white paint on the wall, and was not surprised to see a deep red.
It was obvious that the white paint was to cover up the blood stains behind the wall.
What happened to the owner of this bed?
The morning classes for Class 3, Grade 3, were Li Shu's English class and Jiang Li'er's Chinese class. Xi Yu and Qin He were left to check the school's background with their library cards.
Apart from all kinds of weird places, the buildings of Yueshan Middle School are all very grand and magnificent. Four eight-story red and white high-rise buildings form a rectangle. The glass clearly prints the interior of the classrooms with advanced facilities. The standard 400-meter In the center of the plastic track is a flat and soft artificial turf. A steeple bell tower stands on the side of the playground, and there are several outdoor basketball courts and gymnasiums next to it.
What is incompatible with the above is the abandoned building located near the dormitory building in the distance. It is full of weeds, desolate and cold, and seems to be without any life.
First, they came to the archives room on the first floor of the teaching building. After checking Qin He's library card, the administrator waved the two of them in.
The archives room contains the information files of the school's leading teachers and every student. In addition, every event in the school that should be recorded will also be left in the archives.
"I really didn't expect to meet Officer Xiao Xi here." Qin He saw that Xi Yu had found the files from the beginning of the school's establishment, and smiled proactively: "The last time I went to the city bureau to do business, I didn't see Officer Xiao Xi."
"Because I resigned."
Xi Yu shrugged and said casually: "You should have guessed what I did. There is no point in calling me police officer. You didn't refute me before just to reassure the other two teammates. You don't need to call me police officer anymore." "
"My personality is still the same as before. Even in this place, I still want to protect everyone."
"It's just that admitting that you are a police officer doesn't make everyone feel at ease."
Qin He took over the file that Xi Yu had read. He looked at Xi Yu's suspicious eyes and chuckled: "You don't know, right? Li Shu is the serial murder case that the Hanjiang City Bureau has been investigating recently." The murderer happens to be the target of my investigation, and if it weren’t for these weird stories, he might have been caught.”
Xi Yu clicked his tongue and finally found the academic calendar of Hanjiang University in the new file: "Aren't you a professor at Hanjiang University? Your business scope is so wide?"
"Since Xiaoyu, ah, can I call you that?"
Qin He asked Xi Yu's opinion without any sincerity. Seeing that she was noncommittal, he continued: "Since you are so honest, Xiaoyu, I will tell you directly."
"After that group of people disappeared, I resigned, opened a bookstore casually, and occasionally worked part-time as a private detective to help those poor people who had no way to ask for help like me."
The archive room, which was full of the smell of old paper and ink, suddenly became quiet. Xi Yu stopped reading and looked at Qin He from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze.
For a while, Xi Yu, who had always maintained a professional smile, stopped smiling. Just when Qin He thought she would at least respond with something, Xi Yu pointed to the files he had read and said: "Yueshan Middle School is not a normal school. .”
"Some of these files said that Yueshan Middle School was established as early as 80 years ago, some said that Yueshan Middle School was a freshman school, and some said that the predecessor of Yueshan Middle School was the Mingyao Book School of the Qing Dynasty. I thought these were misleading. information, but these school histories are written in great detail.”
"I think Yueshan Middle School is probably just a conceptually 'good' school but does not actually exist."
"Of course, besides that, I have another discovery——"
"Wait a minute, Xi Yu, you were a policeman before. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qin He interrupted her with a complicated expression and said in a strange tone: "You should understand what I am implying to you, right?"
"I understand, but today is different from the past. They should be reluctant to catch a talent like you."
To be honest, Xi Yu doesn't care much about what Qin He does. Everyone has their own choices. Things in the world have causes and consequences. As long as those people make less of a wrong choice, they will not face such negative consequences.
"Every school in the file has had more than one serious incident of mass school violence."
Xi Yu carried several files in his hand to the empty table aside and spread them out one by one.
"Lingdu Middle School is an aristocratic high school established in 1978. Its students are either rich or noble, but their academic performance has always been poor. In 1990, it began to recruit ordinary students with excellent academic performance. However, every ordinary student who enters Lingdu Middle School... He became the target of bullying by those young masters and young ladies. Victims: Chen Miaoyu, Guan Fei, Meng Pingping, thirty-five people."
"Yongan High School is an old school built in 1938. The archives are quite good. However, in 2014, a vicious campus bullying incident occurred that caused students to jump off the building. The participants covered half the year. There were even people who were there before the students jumped off the building. On the ground, they shouted stupid things like 'jump quickly' and 'die'. Victim: Fang Xiaoyue."
"Jiuyue No. 3 Middle School, a new school established in 2008, formerly known as Jiuyue Academy in the Republic of China, has poor performance, a mixed bag of students, and serious bribery by school leaders. So far, hundreds of students have suffered serious school violence in No. 3 Middle School, and the victims They suffered injuries such as stuffing rats, throwing books, getting bedding wet, throwing away clothes, beatings, and isolation. Victims: 158 people including Song Mianmian, Li Yue, Wen Xin, Nie Yunyun, Yang Tianxing, Jiang Shiming, etc. .”
…
After talking about several schools in a row, Xi Yu quietly glanced at Qin He's face before opening the last file: "Hanjiang No. 1 Middle School, a high school established in Hanjiangdong District in 1985, is a provincial key middle school with excellent results and an open school spirit. Known for its ease.”
"However, the bullying of small groups in his school is extremely serious. The targets are usually students with withdrawn personalities and weak family strength. The school turns a blind eye and helps the bully. Victims: Fifteen people including Xi Yu, Qin Yuan, Zhou Yutong, An Shengming, etc."
The amount of information in this file was ridiculous. It not only clarified the composition and history of Yueshan Middle School, but also allowed Xi Yu to guess the identities of the students here.
For example, Yang Tianxing, whom she met yesterday, was in the victim list of Lingdu Middle School.
Xi Yu read out her name calmly while digesting the information in the file. She was indeed a student of Hanjiang No. 1 Middle School, and she did meet the conditions for a bullying target in the file. Her name was even ranked in front of Qin Yuan who committed suicide, but she really Can't remember what happened in high school.
"...Is the family strength weak? Ha, you really know how to find targets."
Qin He's entire attention was on Qin Yuan. He, who had always been graceful and at ease, was unable to hide the hatred and guilt on his face. In order to divert his attention, he asked: "But Xiaoyu, why are you in there too?" ?”
