The taxi driver looked at the three strong men (policemen) and did not dare to act rashly.
After arriving at the destination, at the entrance of a hotel, the suspect even suspected that he had been kidnapped, because the police must first take the person to the public security organ when arresting him.
Therefore, when getting out of the car, the suspect tightly held on to the car door and refused to let go, and shouted to the passing crowd: "I have been kidnapped, please call the police for me."
Soon the four people were surrounded by the crowd. The three policemen showed their IDs to the crowd, but the astute people doubted the authenticity of the IDs. Therefore, these four people were quickly taken away by the City B police.
Since the police in City B had not received any relevant letters or information before, they decided to go about business and verify the true identities of the three police officers through formal procedures. It was already evening and could not be verified in time. During the verification process, three city A police officers were arranged (detained) by the city B police to spend the night at the police station. The four of them sat together on a bench at the police station and spent an unforgettable night.
It's normal.
Shashi is the provincial capital. Fortunately, it is not far from Yancheng. It only takes an hour and a half to drive there.
Shashi No. 1 Middle School is located on the bank of the urban river, in the sunshine of the green mountains. It is close to several famous colleges and universities in the province. It can be said that it is uniquely endowed by nature and has brilliant humanities. Its teaching resources and environment are far better than Dongyang No. 3 Middle School. Founded in the late Qing Dynasty, the school is known for its rigorous scholarship, excellent academic style, high quality, and numerous talents. The school comprehensively promotes quality education and is committed to the "all-round development and academic excellence" of students, and has basically formed the school-running characteristics of "all-round development, excellence in arts and sports". Not surprisingly, it is also a provincial key middle school.
It seems that every prestigious school cannot escape the fate of negative public opinion. Perhaps due to the unfavorable times, in recent years, the school has experienced two negative events with relatively bad impacts. In 2015, a student from the school jumped off a building. The cause of the incident was that because he had not finished his summer homework, he was asked by his head teacher to meet his parents. Then the student climbed onto the roof of the school, jumped, ended his young life, and permanently fixed his youth at 16. age.
In 2018, a man in his twenties, holding a dagger, squatted at the gate of Shashi No. 1 Middle School. When school was over, he rushed towards the surging crowd and stabbed randomly. A total of 19 students were stabbed. , 9 students died and 10 were injured.
The man's motive for committing the crime was simply that he was bullied by his classmates when he was a student here more than ten years ago, so he hated the students, so he carried out the killing in revenge more than ten years later.
Wang Kang's head teacher is Liu Hui, who has retired and lives in the teachers' and staff building behind the school.
Mr. Liu's first wife died in a car accident in his early years. Since then, he has been unmarried and raised his children alone. Now he lives here alone.
The old man was in good spirits and had bright eyes. He could still remember him clearly when talking about Wang Kang.
"That child has lived in my house for four years, of course I remember it." Teacher Liu said with a smile, "He comes from a single-parent family and has no father. He is a poor child."
"How did he enter your school? As far as we know, he has no relatives in Shashi. Why did he come here to study? And why did he not live in the dormitory, but he stayed here for 4 years? Is he still repeating his studies? A year?" Old Liu asked.
The old man said slowly and half-jokingly: "Do you have a child? If your child goes to high school, do you want to send him to Shashi No. 1 Middle School?"
Old Liu was speechless and immediately realized that he had asked a redundant question. At the same time, he sighed silently.
Shashi No. 1 Middle School is one of the four well-known middle schools in the province. Its annual enrollment rate is among the best in the province, especially the number of students admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, ranking first every year. Such a school naturally has thousands of parents lining up to send their children to it.
But Lao Liu is an exception. He is not among the thousands of parents. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare to have such extravagant hopes. My young master is really not good at studying. Let alone getting admitted to Shashi No. 1 Middle School, as long as he can get into high school, Lao Liu will be a fan of it. For this reason, he really didn't think much about sending Mr. Liu to Shashi No. 1 Middle School.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Mr. Liu’s recent exam. According to his mother, his English score has set a new record in the school, reaching a record low of 8 points. The child's mother also said that most of the English test papers are multiple-choice questions, and the child should not only get such a score even if he is blind. This score is worse than handing in a blank paper. But Lao Liu said that this at least shows that our son still did the questions seriously, but he successfully avoided the correct options when doing the questions. To reach this level, most people can't do it. The child's mother got mad on the phone right then and there, saying, Liu Yishou, I won't die of old age or illness in the future, I will only be angry to death, both of you and my son.
The old man's eyes were piercing, and he seemed to see Old Liu's embarrassment. He smiled and continued: "Starting from 1999, our school will allocate some quotas to recruit students from all over the province. The students will be admitted from high to low according to their scores, and the best students in the province will be admitted. The excellent source of students is also an important reason for the school's long-term prosperity. Shashi No. 1 Middle School was well-known for its excellent teaching quality at that time. Such a school recruits students from all over the province, and naturally there are as many applicants as crucian carp crossing the river. Wang Kang The school is open to the first batch of students recruited across the province.”
"At that time, many parents would arrange for their children to stay at the teacher's house, and this situation still exists today. Wang An is introverted and is a non-local student. His mother was worried that he would be bullied when he lived in the dormitory. Living at the teacher's house not only required food and accommodation, Even better, if you have any problems in study or life, you can always ask the teacher for advice, so I arranged for him to stay at my house to study."
"This kid did repeat his studies for a year." Then, the old man seemed to remember something, pursed his lips, shook his head, and continued: "That shouldn't be the case. With his grades, he shouldn't just be in the first college entrance examination." After getting such a score, you shouldn’t have to retake it later.”
"His academic performance is usually very good, but he performed abnormally during the college entrance examination?" Ouyang asked.
The old man thought about it carefully and said: "This child's usual grades have always been among the best in the class, especially his math scores. He even won the provincial Mathematical Olympiad championship. I am a math teacher, but to be honest, the Mathematical Olympiads I taught There are not many champions, only 7 if you play hard, and he is one of them, and he is the first champion I have taught.”
This should be the reason why the old man remembers Wang Kang so deeply and talks about him like a treasure. Lao Liu and Ouyang thought to themselves.
"But two or three months before the college entrance examination, he returned to Yancheng, and his academic performance suddenly dropped off a cliff."
"I was worried that something happened at home, which caused a psychological burden on him, so I talked to him. But he told me... that he was broken up in love and didn't want to study. The kid usually talks very little and has almost no friends, but he actually It's possible to fall in love prematurely. But he is tall and handsome, and has good academic performance. It is normal for female classmates to like him, and students will hide such things from their teachers, so I don't know if it is normal. "
"I asked him who the girl he was talking about as a friend was, but he told me that Renyi was not involved in the business. Although he broke up with the girl, he would not betray her, so he told me not to ask. I was very angry at the time. It was funny, but then I thought, since they had broken up, there was no need to pursue the matter further, so I advised him to stop thinking nonsense and quickly adjust his mentality to study."
"During that time, he didn't like to study very much. Maybe it was because he was no longer under the pressure of study, so although he was broken up in love, he was much more cheerful, talked more, and sometimes joked with me. This is probably the reason why he lost his love. , harvest the mulberry trees."
"But he definitely can't do it if he doesn't study. When he is less stressed, I am more stressed. A top student suddenly becomes like this, and the school is always asking questions about me."
"I can only advise him once a day, teach him once every three days, and reprimand him once every six days, but he responds well every time. Even if I lose my temper with him, he always looks obedient and accepts the teaching. But a sudden change When he passed by, all my words fell on deaf ears. He was still sleeping in class, and his mock test scores were still appalling. He set the lowest score in the history of the school several times, each time getting lower. There is no minimum, only lower, directly taking the school's average score. It’s been lowered several notches.”
"I also contacted his parents. His parents were also very anxious, but they were beyond their reach. They also came to school and spent a day alone with him, but it had no effect. Before leaving, he told me that Wang Kang promised to study hard. , and he will definitely get into a good university, so we can all rest assured, but he needs some time to come out, and his parents also know that the college entrance examination is coming, and they don’t have time to help him get out of love. But Wang Kang is a stubborn kid, so he decided It's hard to change things, and it's useless no matter what she said. She also said that if it didn't work, she would just let him repeat his studies until he gets into a good university."
"Since my parents have said so, I don't have any better way to do it. I just let him completely let himself go."
"As for the college entrance examination results, it is no surprise that it has set a new record for the lowest score of all graduates in our school since the reform and opening up. This record is still there and no one can break it."
"After that, he really stayed in school to repeat his studies, but he became the same as before. He didn't speak or interact with others. However, his grades rose sharply and he was at the top of the class again. Finally, his college entrance examination results were also very good, and he passed A 985 university in the province has fulfilled his previous promise."
"He doesn't have any close friends at school?" Ouyang asked.
Mr. Liu thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "At that time, there was another student named Zhang Wang who was studying at my house with him. He lived in the same room as him. After class, they would go directly to their rooms to study and sleep. , I am also busy with teaching, and I have basically no communication with them, except for the few months when Wang Kang fell in love. I only know so much, and for the rest, you can ask Zhang Wang."
