The four of us went to work together for the first time.
As soon as Lu Ze arrived at the police station, he was called over by Gao Gao. The latter seemed to have just arrived at the police station. He yawned and handed him a police report: "Get ready to leave. Didn't you always say that we are master and disciple?" I have never had the opportunity to go to the police together, but now the opportunity has come."
Lu Ze immediately lowered his head and looked at the contents of the alarm sheet.
"suicide?"
Another suicide.
Lu Ze frowned slightly.
But this time the situation was different from Chen Yuhao’s previous one.
Gao Gao rubbed his face vigorously with his hands and exhaled heavily.
"An eleven-year-old girl jumped from a 30-storey building around 6:30 this morning and died on the spot. She was discovered by property management personnel at 7:15, and our people had just gone there first. The school controls the scene. This kind of crime is not under the control of other criminal police teams, and it was eventually assigned to us. "
In the office, there was a hint of sadness in the tall man's eyes.
He laughed at himself: "I would rather that our master and apprentice never have the opportunity to go to the police together."
Lu Ze knew why the master looked like this.
Because Gao Gao also has a daughter who just celebrated her tenth birthday. The little girl looks like her mother and is very cute.
"Let's go."
"I'll tell you the details on the way."
Gao Zhi and Lu Ze were stopped by Ye Wei when they left the office, and the instructor said directly: "Gaosuo, are you going to Qingbai Elementary School?"
Qingbai Primary School is where the girl who jumped from the building went to school.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I just came down here to remind you that the incident of the little girl who jumped off the building has been spreading on the Internet, and now there are all kinds of gossip on the Internet." Ye Wei spoke quickly and climaxed to emphasize the specialness of this incident.
Internet public opinion is something the police must consider.
Just like yesterday, Lu Ze forcibly stopped Li Dawei from clashing with his gambler father on the street. It was the same reason.
As the concept of the rule of law has become more and more popular nowadays, every time the police handle an incident, there will be many people nearby taking pictures with their mobile phones. Wang Shouyi will emphasize the standardization of handling the incident at every morning meeting, so this time The leader gritted his teeth and gave Cao Jianjun a punishment.
In this day and age, a small problem can ruin a person, let alone the police.
After hearing Ye Wei's instructions, Gao Gao nodded: "Don't worry, instructor, I know what's going on."
Gao Gao drove Lu Ze and quickly went to Qingbai Primary School, which was now surrounded by people.
Lu Ze was sitting in the passenger seat, gathering all the information he had just received in his mind, quickly forming a large network, and the whole thing played out like a movie scene.
Zhang Minjia.
female.
Eleven years old.
A single-parent family, my parents are divorced, my mother works in a textile factory, and my father works in other places.
The girl usually lives with her grandmother, who is in her sixties.
After school at noon yesterday, Zhang Minjia bought something at the stationery store across from the school. It was the time when school was over, and there was a lot of traffic in the store. She saw that the proprietress was very busy. After buying the stationery, the girl put three yuan on the counter. After informing him, he left with his classmates.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the store, the proprietress hurriedly chased her out and scolded the girl for not paying.
"Thief!"
"You clearly didn't pay just now!"
The girl hurriedly explained: "I paid!"
The proprietress insisted that she did not see the three dollars, and forcefully pulled off the girl's schoolbag, poured out all the contents, took away the stationery Zhang Minjia had just bought, and also took away a book on the ground with the girl's name written on it. Mathematics textbook.
The landlady later wrote the words "heavy reward" and "urgent search" in the textbook.
In the afternoon, this incident went viral in Qingbai Primary School.
Until this morning, the girl jumped to her death.
...
When they arrived at Qingbai Elementary School, the place was already crowded. The entrances of the school and the stationery store involved were full of people. Lu Ze and Gao Gao finally squeezed in.
Many colleagues from Balihe Police Station are here to maintain order.
Sun Qiancheng stood on the outside of the cordon as an auxiliary policeman. When he saw Lu Ze, he nodded slightly to Lu Ze.
In front of the stationery store, there is a picture of a middle-aged woman holding a little girl in her hands and crying. This is Zhang Minjia's mother.
"My daughter~!"
"My poor daughter~!
"
The people watching around were extremely sad when they saw this scene.
"Comrade police, we must bring the bad guys to justice!"
"It would be really sad if this stationery store could still stay open."
"My child is still so young. Even if he really steals something, he can't be treated like this."
"Is three dollars enough?"
Lu Ze followed the climax and came to the mother's side.
The two saluted.
"Hello, I am a police officer from Balihe Police Station."
"If you have any problems, you can report it to us. Do you think we should go back to the institute to solve the problem first?"
On the way here, Gao Gao received a call from the director Wang Shouyi. The director meant that this incident had a great impact and it would be best to bring the person involved and the child's guardian to the office to quickly discuss a solution. .
Otherwise, online public opinion will only continue to ferment and its influence will become greater and greater.
As the instructor said before, everything is available online now.
Some said that the girl stole something, some said that the girl did not steal; some said that the boss lady even sneaked into the school and found the girl's class teacher and school leaders, humiliating her on the spot; others said that the boss lady entered the group and the class teacher forwarded it He posted a reward for the photo and reprimanded the girl in front of the class...
The online news is true and false, and various marketing accounts are online, each with its own rhetoric.
The woman with tears in her eyes pointed to the "Xiaosha Stationery Store" behind her. Her voice sounded extremely sad: "I don't want anything. I want the owner of this stationery store to pay for my daughter's life. My daughter Only ten years old! "
Gao Gao saw this and quickly stepped forward to calm the woman's emotions.
Lu Ze asked the police officer nearby and found out that the stationery store owner immediately chose to close the store and go home after learning about the girl's accident.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the elementary school with a female teacher. This was the principal of Qingbai Elementary School and the girl's class teacher, Teacher Wu: "Comrade police, you are here. This matter is very important to our school." The impact has been very bad, I hope you can return our innocence!"
Listening to the woman's more intense cries and the principal's official talk.
Lu Ze didn't speak. He just quietly looked at the expressions on the faces of the people in front of him.
Teacher Wu looked at Zhang Minjia's mother who was crying. She showed an expression of remorse and sympathy at this time. The girl's class teacher just kept saying sorry after arriving here.
At this time, some people around shouted to the principal of Qingbai Primary School: "Has that hateful boss lady ever entered your school?"
Many people nearby echoed and asked about the situation.
The middle-aged principal, whose white shirt highlighted the picture of beer, hurriedly cried out: "This is absolutely impossible! Our school usually doesn't even allow parents to come in to visit, not to mention the proprietress of this stationery store, even my own mother can't come in Yes!"
Gao Gao called Lu Ze over and whispered, "Take two people to Huayuan Community and bring the stationery shop owner to the office."
Lu Ze nodded slightly.
The Huayuan community is located on Yingchun Street, the most affluent area of Balihe. Lu Ze has memorized the map of the entire Balihe area in his mind. He drove directly with Sun Qiancheng and another policeman, and soon arrived at Stationery The doorstep of the shop owner’s wife’s house.
When they came here, they looked at each other with strange expressions.
At this time, I saw the words "Murderer" and "Murder for life" spray-painted with red paint on the wall outside Xu Shasha's home.
Facts have proved that the power of the masses is so great that they were able to find the address of the stationery shop proprietress so quickly.
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
"Hello, Ms. Xu, we are the police from Balihe Police Station."
"Now we need you to go back to the facility with us to cooperate with the investigation. Please open the door."
There was no reaction inside.
Lu Ze then knocked several times.
After a long time, a panicked female voice came from the room: "Are you...really the police?"
"Yes, Ms. Xu Shasha, we are from Balihe Police Station."
After the woman saw Lu Ze and the others wearing police uniforms through the peephole, she quickly opened the door, with a panicked look on her face, and quickly grabbed Lu Ze's arm: "Comrade police, please help me, I really can't survive this day. This morning several people came to my house and broke down the door, and those words were spray-painted on the wall."
"I, I...I really didn't mean it."
Lu Ze did not reply, but saluted Xu Shasha: "Please return to the institute and cooperate with our investigation."
...
Back at the station, Xu Shasha, the owner of the stationery store, was taken away by the police in the station, while Lu Ze was directly pulled over by Xia Jie and Li Dawei. The eyes of the people around him were full of expressions. curious.
"Lu Ze, Lu Ze, what is going on here?"
"Now the Internet is full of posts about that little girl who jumped off a building because of three yuan. Did you ask anything about the situation in the car just now?"
Lu Ze glanced angrily at Li Dawei who asked the question. The husky quickly came out of yesterday's haze and returned to his carefree look today.
"Do you think you are lying? Didn't your master, Officer Chen, say before that even if you are interrogating a criminal suspect, the whole process must be videotaped, not to mention that this stationery store owner is not up to the standard of a suspect at all."
Xia Jie's mood seemed a little low.
Because she grew up in a single-parent family, she has deep sympathy for the little girl named Zhang Minjia.
"Lu Ze, in your opinion, what will the final direction of this matter be?"
Everyone focused on Lu Ze.
This guy usually knows exactly what he is looking for. The old police officers in the police station are all envious of the high police station for having a good apprentice. Today, Lu Ze went to the police station with the high police station. This guy probably has some thoughts in his heart. Got a little bit of music.
Lu Ze sighed slightly when he heard this.
"I estimate... there is a high probability that the matter will be settled with a loss of money, and the possibility of reconciliation is mostly high."
"reconciliation?!"
Xia Jie and Li Dawei said in unison.
Yang Shu frowned tightly at this time: "It stands to reason that if the shop owner exposed the little girl in that way, regardless of whether the little girl paid or not, it would definitely damage her right to portrait and reputation. The behavior of the proprietress of the stationery store It is suspected of insult and defamation, and it has obviously caused serious consequences."
"According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, those who openly insult others by violence or other methods or fabricate facts to slander others, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights."
Lu Ze nodded.
"Yang Shu, everything you said is right."
"But, haven't you all overlooked a very important point?"
"Xu Shasha's behavior does not meet the procuratorate's standards for prosecution. The crime of insult and defamation are crimes of personal prosecution in the criminal law. The prosecution method is to ignore the prosecution. If the girl's relatives do not pursue the case, then the procuratorate will not pursue it at all. It won’t stand up.”
Li Dawei looked at Lu Ze with wide eyes, and Husky couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha."
"Lu Ze, are you stupid?"
"This is someone's daughter who was forced to die. Are you telling me that this girl's relatives will choose to reconcile and not pursue the case?"
"This is simply impossible!"
Li Dawei vowed, and Xia Jie nodded beside him.
Lu Ze, on the other hand, remembered the detailed information sent by his master that he had just read in the car.
He remained silent.
What is impossible in this bizarre world?
...
"A pencil case was lost in our store the day before yesterday. After checking the surveillance system, I thought the little girl was suspicious."
"There were many people in the store at noon yesterday. When I turned around, I saw the girl holding the stationery and walking out. I thought she didn't pay."
"So I chased him out, and then..."
In the inquiry room, Gao Gao asked the middle-aged woman named Xu Shasha various details. Lu Ze was typing on the keyboard quickly. The whole thing was actually not as complicated as everyone thought. It was pointless for this woman to lie. Might as well tell the truth.
Surveillance on stationery stores and schools has been called out.
"What do you think? What do you think?"
"Xu Shasha, tell me why you insulted other girls in that way?"
"Forget it, even if that little girl really stole the stationery, even if she stole your three...three hundred yuan worth of stationery, can you insult someone in that way? Let alone children, even if you meet an adult, This kind of situation makes me feel panicked."
"Have you seen the public opinion on the Internet now? I heard from the comrades in our office that someone spray-painted your home? How do you feel in your heart?"
There was something obviously not quite right about the climax.
When asking, he basically didn't give the middle-aged woman opposite him a good look, and she seemed to be suspected of bringing in personal emotions.
"Comrade police, I really didn't expect it to be so serious."
"I just feel..."
Throughout the morning, there were even a lot of onlookers at the Balihe Police Station. Everyone just wanted to see how this scandal that had caused a sensation in the self-media would end. Zhang Minjia's father, who was working out of town, also came here.
Regarding this incident, the institute is still conducting an extremely detailed investigation, from surveillance to Zhang Minjia's classmates and even merchants near the stationery store. Wang Shouyi, the director, personally led the overall situation and invested a lot of manpower and material resources in it.
But the basic outline of the whole thing has emerged.
After the questioning, Xu Shasha followed suit and came to the mediation room, where she met Zhang Minjia's parents for the first time.
"You...you give back my daughter's life!"
"You murderer, can you sleep at night?!"
"My poor daughter..."
The woman cried sadly.
The man with the beard next to her is her ex-husband. This middle-aged man’s eyes also have uncontrollable sadness, but his mood is relatively calm, at least when he sees the man with his head lowered. Xu Shasha didn't lose her composure.
"Comrade police."
"What do we do next?"
Director Wang Shouyi, instructor Ye Wei and the two deputy directors were all in this room. The advice given by the bureau was to solve the problem as soon as possible. Wang Shouyi naturally understood what it meant, but he looked at such a sad couple. , the words were a little hard to say.
He looked at the instructor beside him. Ye Wei nodded slightly and said, "We deeply sympathize with your daughter."
"In response to Ms. Xu Shasha's insult and slander against Zhang Minjia, as Zhang Minjia's immediate family members, you can choose to file a lawsuit with the procuratorate. If you file a lawsuit, our Balihe Police Station will help you contact the procuratorate."
"or..."
"You two can choose... to reconcile."
Hearing the word "reconciliation", Zhang Minjia's mother was stunned for almost an instant, and she froze in her seat.
Xu Shasha's eyes glowed at this time, and she hurriedly said: "I am willing to reconcile! I am willing to reconcile! I am willing to compensate their family with enough financial compensation!"
Zhang Minjia's father gently patted his ex-wife's back with his dark hands. The middle-aged man stood upright, but his back seemed to be extremely curved. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty: " Let's... think about it."
The woman's cry soon became quieter.
...
The news received by the outside world is that Eucalyptus is dealing with it urgently.
However, most of the people inside the Balihe Police Station knew the above-mentioned attitude. Li Dawei opened his mouth wide and murmured to himself: "I'm going to let this guy Lu Ze guess it again? This can't be done. We finally reconciled, right? What kind of parents are these..."
Perhaps thinking of his unreliable gambler father, Li Dawei shut his mouth instantly.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria of the police station was a bit dull today. Not only these young police officers, but also those like Chen Xincheng and Gao Gao, who had their heads buried in their meals with dark faces, seemed to be in no better mood.
The food in front of Xia Jie remained untouched.
She felt that her heart had become very strong, but she did not expect to see such strange things.
Thinking about it?
As a parent, is there anything else you need to consider at this time?
This consideration has two meanings: one is to consider prosecution or reconciliation; the other... is the need to consider the bargaining chips for reconciliation.
"Lu Ze."
"How did you guess that Zhang Minjia's parents might... choose to reconcile?"
Xia Jie's face was pale and her voice was trembling. She stared closely at Lu Ze's eyes in front of her, trying to find the answer to this question.
Lu Ze's appetite was not very good today: "Zhang Minjia grew up in a single-parent family. Her parents divorced when she was six years old. Although the court finally awarded the child to her mother, she actually grew up with her grandmother. .”
"After the incident, the school didn't want to come forward to cause trouble. It just wanted to let the parents of the children solve the problem. The head teacher asked Zhang Minjia a few questions in the afternoon, and then called her mother and explained briefly. Let’s talk about the situation.”
"However, Zhang Minjia's mother didn't seem to take this matter to heart. When she went back at night, she found her daughter lying on the bed and ignored her."
Xia Jie's big, fluttering eyes lost their former spirituality: "What are you trying to explain?"
Lu Ze glanced at her and said slowly: "I mean...her parents may not love her that much."
Lu Ze's calm words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the fact that Xia Jie was unwilling to admit in her heart.
She murmured: "It's impossible. Her mother cried so sadly, and her father rushed to Pingling from other places immediately. How could the biological parents not love their children?"
"impossible..."
Lu Ze's mood was also a bit complicated.
In "The Beginning", after Wang Mengmeng's accident, her parents struggled to find the truth for their daughter. Wang Xingde and Tao Yinghong even wanted to die together in the end.
As for Zhang Minjia's incident this time, Lu Ze estimated that it was almost the same.
Zhang Minjia's parents did not live a very good life after their divorce. One worked early in the morning and late at night in a textile factory, and the other worked as a worker in other places.
Lu Ze was also in the mediation room just now. He could clearly feel that after Xu Shasha proposed financial compensation, Zhang Minjia's parents' emotions fluctuated to a certain extent.
From the moment when their hearts were slightly shaken, Lu Ze knew that the outcome of this matter was reconciliation.
Reconciliation can result in a substantial financial compensation.
And if they choose to prosecute, the couple will not be able to gain anything extra except that the instigator Xu Shasha will be imprisoned for a few years.
This may be the reality, the emotions in the world are very difficult to describe.
Lu Ze wanted to believe that Zhang Minjia's mother really wanted the murderer to pay for her daughter's life at the door of the stationery store.
However, life must go on.
When another good choice is placed in front of oneself, one's heart will change unconsciously.
Zhang Minjia's father found another one soon after the divorce, and Zhang Minjia's mother also had a sweetheart in a textile factory.
Looking back, I realized that there seems to be only one disease in the world, called the disease of poverty.
When Wang Shouyi came to the cafeteria, he noticed the mood of everyone. He forced a smile on his face and comforted: "We have done our best. It is up to relatives to decide how to choose. You guys hurry up and give me a meal." Did you hear that there is a lot going on in the office this afternoon?"
The whole thing was settled the next afternoon.
Zhang Minjia's parents finally agreed to a settlement and received a total of 650,000 yuan in financial compensation. Xu Shasha was responsible for paying 80% of the compensation, while Qingbai Primary School paid the other 20% because it failed to do a good job in psychological work for the students who had the accident.
None of the three parties had any objections and quickly signed the settlement document.
This was the end of this scandal that shocked Pingling.
Although there is still a lot of controversy on the Internet, it will eventually be forgotten in people's memory as time goes by.
There was just one girl whose age was permanently fixed at eleven. When Zhang Minjia jumped from a thirty-story building, no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
...
As night fell, Lu Ze and Xia Jie were walking home.
"Lu Ze, did she steal anything?"
Lu Ze shook his head.
"Does it matter whether Liuzi ate one bowl of noodles or two bowls of noodles?"
Xia Jie understood what the people around her meant almost instantly.
In that situation, whether Zhang Minjia stole anything or not, her ending... was the same.
Xia Jie tried hard to control her emotions at the moment, but found that tears could not stop flowing on her face. She burst into tears on the way home.
Obviously my life is not good, but I still can't see the suffering in this world.
Lu Ze reached out and handed Xia Jie a tissue, but found that his hand was tightly grasped.
He sighed slightly.
So just like before, he reached out his hand and gently stroked the head of the girl in front of him.
"Stop crying."
"How old are you?"
