While the two were talking on the platform, other passengers hurriedly passed by them. Dong Qiangqiang approached Lu Wei and asked in a low voice: "What did you say wrong just now?"
Lu Wei didn't say anything. She dragged her suitcase to the chair closest to her on the platform and sat down. She lowered her head and wrapped her fingers around the hem of her clothes.
Dong Qiangqiang was crazy about this way of chatting without saying anything pleasant, but Lu Wei seemed a little abnormal. He didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to leave either. He was so bored that he wanted to smoke again.
"If you believe me, can you explain clearly what happened?" Dong Qiangqiang threw the chewing gum into his mouth, which he prepared for quitting smoking, "so that I can give you some advice."
The train started moving again, getting further and further away, and there were far fewer people on the platform.
"If you want to be alone, then I will go around alone. Let's call back..." Dong Qiangqiang pointed in the direction of the train station gate in the distance and said.
Before Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, Lu Wei blurted out: "I was caught as a gunman."
Upon hearing this, Dong Qiangqiang immediately turned to stone. After a while, he murmured: "Caught by...who?"
"The university and the police." Lu Wei sighed and slowly ironed the wrinkled corners of his clothes with the palm of his hand.
Dong Qiangqiang took a breath: "So the rumors..."
"It's all true." Something crystal clear flickered in the corner of Lu Wei's eyes.
"Then why are you here today?" Dong Qiangqiang felt that his premonition just now was accurate.
"When I was arrested, I told the university that I happened to pick up someone else's passport and took the exam after suddenly having a brain trance."
"What do the Germans say?"
Lu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They don't believe it."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: I would be damned if I could believe this.
"The people at the university examination center believed that I was the shooter, so they not only canceled my test results, but also called the police." Lu Wei did not mention that she was caught by the police in the teaching building. The scene had become her nightmare.
"What did the police say?"
"I recorded a statement last Friday. After recording, they let me go home, but they asked me to go to the police station again today. I'm worried that the danger may be worse."
"Why?"
"Because last Saturday, the teacher from the Foreign Student Affairs Office of Hannover University called me and asked me about this matter. She also said that Hannover University would temporarily terminate my studies until the matter is resolved."
"Is this what Han University told you?" Dong Qiangqiang felt a little unbelievable for a moment, "Isn't it too hasty for them to do this?"
Lu Wei looked at the trains entering and exiting the other stations in a daze, and added: "Last time before I left the police station after recording my confession, a female police officer told me that if I admitted (being a gunman), it would be fine. I turned myself in because I have no bad record before, so the judge will take it into consideration when sentencing. But if I don't admit it, they can also convict me with zero confession based on the evidence they have. So I was thinking about it last weekend. Should I surrender? But I am very scared now, my mind is very confused, and I have no clue at all. Tell me, what should I do now?" Lu Wei cried out in his last sentence, which scared Dong Qiangqiang.
"Don't panic yet," Dong Qiangqiang saw that she was about to cry again, and quickly comforted her, "haven't the police not convicted you yet? Otherwise, they won't be able to let you go home."
"But... I don't know if I can go home today, so I brought all the changes of clothes." Lu Wei looked at the suitcase beside him and said sadly.
"They said they could convict you with nothing, but do you know what evidence they have?" Dong Qiangqiang asked again.
Lu Wei shook his head numbly: "I was arrested as soon as I walked out of the examination room, and then stayed at the police station until night. As for what evidence they have, I don't know anything about it, but I'm worried now..."
"What are you worried about?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"The person I took the exam for, and the person who reported me."
"Were you reported?" Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, "By whom?"
Lu Wei smiled bitterly and answered the question: "This substitute exam was introduced to me by Yu Jianghai. I don't know the girl and have never contacted her before. But last weekend she suddenly called me directly and asked me to take this matter to myself. She took it down and said that if I didn’t admit it, she would tell the police that her passport was stolen and add another charge to me.”
"Then what do you say to Yu Jianghai? He took care of this matter for you."
"He gave me..." Lu Wei's eyes gradually turned red, "800 marks."
"So, he can pick it out by giving you money?" Dong Qiangqiang found it unbelievable, "Isn't this too ridiculous?"
"It's me...I said it. Give me 800 and he'll be fine."
"You..." Dong Qiangqiang was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that this would be Lu Wei's idea.
"My dad... is hospitalized, my mom retired at home very early, and my brother is about to take the college entrance examination." Lu Wei suddenly felt sad as she spoke. She covered her face with her hands, tears sliding down her fingers. On the back of her hand, she choked and said, "I don't want to do this, but our family... needs money."
Looking at the tearful Lu Wei, Dong Qiangqiang's heart was full of pity and sentimentality. He suddenly discovered that everyone here was not as glamorous as they seemed on the surface, and there were a lot of bad debts in their lives that could not be told to others. Lu Wei is like this, Lao Bai is like this, Hualing is like this, and even the German Jelena is like this.
Lu Wei's cry attracted the attention of the patrolling policemen far away from the platform. Two heavily armed policemen soon appeared beside them holding a German black back.
"Ma'am, do you need help?" A young male police officer looked down at Lu Wei and asked.
Another male police officer walked directly in front of Dong Qiangqiang: "Hello, please show your ID."
Dong Qiangqiang cooperatively took out his passport and handed it to the other party. The other party said something to the walkie-talkie on his shoulder. After dozens of seconds, a reply came from the walkie-talkie. The policeman returned the passport to Dong Qiangqiang and turned to the young man. The police officer nodded and indicated that Dong Qiangqiang's identity was okay.
"Officer, I'm... fine, I'm... just in a bad mood." Lu Wei stopped crying and replied in a low voice.
"If you feel that your personal safety is threatened, you can seek help from the police, understand?" the male policeman reminded patiently.
Lu Wei nodded solemnly: "Yes...it's clear."
The young male police officer glanced at Dong Qiangqiang again, said nothing, and walked away with his colleague while holding the dog.
"Then...are you going to the police station later?" Dong Qiangqiang asked carefully, "What are you going to say when you see the police?"
"I...I want to surrender." Lu Wei looked much calmer after crying.
"Surrender yourself? Have you thought about it?"
"I knew before... that being a gunman would bring such dangers, and some seniors kindly reminded me, but I was confused at the time. Now I have figured it out, if I don't surrender, the police will really convict me with zero confession. , I don’t know how long the sentence will be, and my family is still waiting for me to send them money.” Lu Wei’s eyes flicked unsteadily on the train stopped not far away, “So I can’t sit in jail for too long. Absolutely not..."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect Lu Wei to dare to make this decision, and couldn't help but admire him: "Then I will go with you later."
"No, I can just go by myself." Lu Wei withdrew his gaze from a distance and fell on Dong Qiangqiang's face, "But I have something to trouble you with."
"You tell me. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it." Dong Qiangqiang assured firmly.
