Chapter 27 Two Old Teachers Are Arguing with the Principal

Hua Mei was knocked unconscious on her way to work.

This was the first sentence Song Ji’an and Sheng Jia heard after entering the principal’s office.

The victim’s name is Hua Mei, she is a recent college graduate who is currently looking for a job.

Before graduation, she signed a third-party contract to return to Jingjiang, but that job was too much of a pit, and she resigned after only a few months, not even passing the internship period.

She has been looking for a job this month, and her daily routine is very simple. Besides going out to find a job, she returns to her rented apartment. However, she fainted once due to hypoglycemia some time ago. After seeing a Chinese medicine doctor, she was advised to jog for ten minutes every morning, so she followed the doctor’s advice and started jogging for half an hour every day along the coastal highway a week ago.

The marathon section has always been a gathering place for citizens in eastern Jingjiang to exercise in the morning.

Originally, Hua Mei was going to return to her rented apartment after running the day before yesterday and then contact the interview company she had arranged. However, she was suddenly knocked unconscious when she passed the middle of the mountain road.

In order to save time and because of her problematic mentality after graduation, she got up very early every day, going out for morning exercise before five o’clock, so there were no eyewitnesses who could see who it was.

There is surveillance at the entrance and exit of the mountain road, but because the road inside the mountain road is longer, there are always some places without surveillance cameras. The place where Hua Mei was knocked unconscious happens to be a blind spot for surveillance.

This illustrates two problems. First, the person who knocked her unconscious may be very familiar with that road, and even know where there are no blind spots for surveillance; second, the place where Hua Mei was knocked unconscious is actually very far from the entrance to the mountain that Danggui led them to find, at least two kilometers away. These two kilometers require carrying Hua Mei to walk into the mountain to dig a hole, which requires a lot of strength.

Of course, according to Hua Mei’s recollection, the person who knocked her unconscious should be male, and very young, more than one. Their method of committing the crime was very rough, and they even woke her up in the middle of it in order to know her mobile phone password from her mouth.

This group of people was clearly targeting her money. Modern people use mobile phones for payment, and there is no cash, making it difficult to rob. In order to protect herself, Hua Mei told them her mobile phone password, Alipay payment password, and the passwords of several bank cards, and then she was knocked unconscious a second time, and then buried alive in the soil.

However, the police did not know all of this before Hua Mei woke up. After she woke up, when she searched for the mobile phone’s location using the iPad at home, the mobile phone was already in the sea. Obviously, the gang had already transferred the property in her mobile phone, and then destroyed the evidence.

The most interesting thing, however, is that this group of murderers with very rough methods of committing crimes has a very unusual way of disposing of stolen goods.

Hua Mei doesn’t have a lot of property, but it’s not a small amount either. She is an only child, and her family is not short of money. She came to Jingjiang alone to work hard just to see if she could buy a car and a house on her own without the help of her family.

The savings in the card were her New Year’s money from childhood, as well as the pocket money her mother and father gave her every month, about one hundred thousand yuan.

However, the flow of these funds is very complicated. First, they were transferred to several first-level virtual accounts on the Yunnan border, and then subdivided into the second-level accounts below, and passed down layer by layer. Finally, they flowed into a foreign cash pool, and the subsequent destination is unknown.

The person in charge of this case is still Liu Qing, the Liu team leader who led the team. She is an older woman, with a pair of sharp eyes but also the unique gentleness and depth of a woman.

Explaining the case to the school and students was not originally in their plan. After all, this matter has not been investigated clearly, and even the announcement has not been issued.

However, after finding out the flow of funds, the results of the test on the remnants of the things remaining in Hua Mei’s fingernails after she was dug out also came out.

It is a very common polyester fiber, the residue of the opponent’s clothing material that Hua Mei buckled bucklewn during the struggle.

This may not explain anything, but Team Leader Liu took people to watch the surveillance all day. To be able to knock Hua Mei unconscious, you have to watch the surveillance before and after she entered the mountain, and they really spotted several suspicious people.

After all, that road is far from the city center, and there are not many vehicles and people coming and going every day, and the other party is a gang, with a larger target.

After they learned about the material in Hua Mei’s fingernails, they focused their target on three groups of people – one group was tourists from other provinces who came to Fajin Temple to worship their deceased relatives, one group was three men in a morning exercise team who had left the team during morning exercise and did not leave the mountain pass until two hours later, and the third group was several boys wearing masks who could not see their faces and had no obvious characteristics, who had been wandering around that area for many days.

“So what you mean is, the suspected group of students is from our Jingjiang No. 1 High School?” Lu Jing took a deep breath after listening to the whole process, and couldn’t help asking: “Can I ask what the evidence is?”

“It’s not certain yet,” Team Leader Liu was obviously prepared, she asked the female police officer under her to take out the tablet she was carrying and replied: “But we tracked the marked boys, originally just suspected that they might be students, but according to the surveillance, they arrived at the mountain pass at three o’clock in the morning that day, and basically could not be filmed their movements after entering, and it was after ten o’clock in the morning when they left the mountain pass. After that, they entered Chongming Road, which is a road leading directly to Sanzhong, and then they followed this road into the alley next to it.”

The female police officer swiped the tablet and released several other videos.

“We monitored several exits of the alley, and they finally came out of the alley on Monday, that is, the next morning, and then put on the uniforms of Jingjiang No. 1 High School and entered Jingjiang No. 1 High School when there were the most people in the morning, and they did not take off their masks during the whole process, and then they joined the school.” Team Leader Liu said seriously: “One of the purposes of our visit today is to apply to the school to check the surveillance.”

Lu Jing rubbed her hands and finally understood Liu Qing’s deep meaning.

One of the criminal suspects is located in the school. If they don’t find a reason to come over, wouldn’t it be alarming the snake and causing panic.

“And according to our investigation at the time, it is very likely that when the students rescued Hua Mei, the murderer was behind them or had just left.”

Several students who had been unable to interrupt suddenly felt a chill on their bodies.

When they were digging Hua Mei out while trying to hold back their fear and tears, the murderer might have been staring at them closely behind them?

Song Ji’an didn’t know what she was thinking of, but she felt a chill all over her body and couldn’t help but look at Sheng Jia.

If Sheng Jia had gone in alone, would she have been in danger that day?

If Song Ji’an and Xia Qingzhao and others had not insisted on going in with her, but only one or two people had gone in, would there have been more than just Hua Mei buried in the forest?

Besides Sheng Jia and Song Ji’an, Xia Qingzhao and others also realized it later.

Xia Qingzhao patted her chest and then patted Sheng Jia’s shoulder, with a bit of rejoicing, “Fortunately, we didn’t let you two go in by yourselves that day.”

Sheng Jia pursed her lips and rarely felt a little scared.

“Yes, fortunately you went there together that day,” Team Leader Liu heard their whispers and educated them: “But in the future, try not to go there, even if there are more people, it is best not to. You are still children and cannot predict the danger. The correct behavior is to call the police on the spot.”

“But if we don’t know what happened, can we call the police?” Xia Qingzhao asked, “Then if we say on the spot that there is a little monkey whose situation is abnormal and seems to want to take us into the mountains, and we don’t know what’s inside, will the police come?”

“Yes,” the female police officer behind Team Leader Liu replied gently: “As long as we receive the citizens’ hotline calls, we will definitely dispatch the police.”

The others nodded when they heard this, indicating that they knew.

“Of course, locking down the criminal suspect is only one of the goals of our visit today,” Team Leader Liu continued: “The more important thing is the way they transfer property.”

“In recent years, telecommunications fraud has become more and more widespread, and the way they transfer property is obviously a typical routine of telecommunications fraud, but it has not gone through fraud, but directly used robbery to launder money.”

Lu Jing was slightly startled, “Then what do you mean?”

“Yes, this time we want to temporarily lock down the suspect and then lure the snake out of the hole to see if we can find the den behind it.”

“But isn’t their transfer information in Yunnan?” Song Ji’an asked in confusion: “Can we still find it this way?”

Team Leader Liu did not look down on her question because she was a student, but patiently replied: “No, the path of telecom fraud and money laundering may pass through the Yunnan border, but the den is not necessarily there. There may be second-level, third-level, or even fourth-level dens here.”

Their preparation is actually to follow the vine to find the melon, first control the dens here, and then contact the superiors in the situation of trying not to alarm the snake.

“So I hope you don’t publicize this matter. Our behavior of watching surveillance will also be as low-key as possible so that it will not be known. We have negotiated with Ms. Hua Mei, and she is willing to cover for us. This time we are here to discuss thanking several little classmates.”

A rare trace of cunning appeared in Team Leader Liu’s eyes, “If you are willing to cooperate, maybe we can make this thank you lively.”

After her voice fell, everyone turned their attention to Hua Mei, who had been very low-key and had not said much.

Although she had suffered such a disaster, there was not much grayness on her face, but she could still grin at the crowd.

“Yes, I am willing to cooperate. It depends on whether you can. If you don’t want to be too public, we can thank you privately in the principal’s office.” Her throat was filled with dirt, and it was not good yet, so it was particularly hoarse. Coupled with her limbs in plaster and her neck being held up, it seemed a little ridiculous, “The main thing is that I want to catch this group of people as soon as possible, otherwise I won’t be safe when I go out.”

Lu Jing did not immediately agree to this matter, she seemed a little hesitant.

She didn’t want to make things big in the first place, she wanted to keep a low profile and hide her students.

But before she could speak, Sheng Jia raised a question first, “They buried Ms. Hua Mei.”

“Just call me Sister Hua Mei,” Hua Mei interrupted her and corrected the title.

Sheng Jia followed her example, “They buried Sister Hua Mei and saw our faces. That means that the person they wanted to harm survived, and we are the people who are blocking them. Will we be retaliated against?”

If they were people in society, it might not be easy to find them. But if the murderer is from Jingjiang No. 1 High School, it would be too easy to find them and retaliate against them.

“No matter whether you cooperate with this matter or not, our people will enter the school in disguise during this period to strictly monitor the behavior of several criminal suspects.” Team Leader Liu guaranteed: “Your safety will not be affected, but they are only suspects now and have not been identified, so I hope you will not cast strange glances at them or reveal the content of our conversation today, okay?”

Sheng Jia and the others nodded seriously, “Okay.”

“As for this matter, I’ll give you an answer after you retrieve the surveillance,” Lu Jing said after a moment of silence.

Team Leader Liu did not mean that the principal must agree today, and nodded happily when she heard this, giving them enough time to consider.

What needed to be said had been said, and the nurse who came out with Hua Mei glanced at the watch and reminded: “Miss Hua Mei, we’d better go back to the hospital now. Your injury can’t support you staying here for too long.”

“Hey, hey, wait a minute,” Hua Mei struggled to raise her hand while groaning in pain, “I really want to thank these sisters who saved me.”

The nurse who was pushing her wheelchair stopped when she heard this. Hua Mei grimaced a little. After the pain passed, she sincerely said to Sheng Jia and the others: “Sisters, I’m not well yet, and I can’t say much. When I get well, I will definitely thank you for saving my life. I am really too grateful to you. Cough cough cough…”

Hua Mei’s current situation is not very good. She can’t help but cough heart-wrenchingly when she says too much. The nurse hurriedly pushed her out when she saw this, but she didn’t forget to stubbornly raise her thumb to show them while sitting in the wheelchair.

Xia Qingzhao couldn’t help laughing.

Teacher Fang, who had been silent all the time, glared at her, and she immediately shrank her neck.

The police team and Hua Mei left, and the principal’s office suddenly became empty. Teacher Fang and Liu Yidong drove the younger ones who still wanted to watch the excitement out and told them to hurry back to the classroom to attend class and not to talk nonsense, and then closed the door.

Song Ji’an and Sheng Jia deliberately walked last, and through the simple wooden door, they clearly heard Liu Yidong and Teacher Fang protesting loudly.

“Principal, you can’t agree to this matter. Letting Hua Mei make such a big thank you to the little ones, isn’t this using them as bait? I’m telling you, I don’t agree to this matter.”

“Yes, their criminal police team’s affairs require our school to cooperate, and we have cooperated. Now we also want the students to accompany them in acting. Is this a bit too much? And shouldn’t those suspects be strictly controlled when they are discovered? What if something happens again when they are placed in the school?”

“I’m also considering this matter. Don’t be so loud,” Lu Jing was obviously very headache, “Didn’t they say that they will work hard to protect the safety of the students? Don’t be so nervous. Liu Qing is my high school classmate, and she is an old criminal police officer of several decades. She is absolutely reliable.”

Teacher Fang’s heart was filled with anger when she heard this, and she started arguing with the principal, “Reliable is not okay, putting students in danger is not okay. She has been an old criminal police officer for decades, can’t she think of other ways?”

Teacher Fang is older than Lu Jing, and her hair is whiter than Lu Jing’s. Not to mention her teaching qualifications, she quickly softened her voice when she heard this, “Teacher Fang, oh, please sit down first, don’t be so angry…”

“What are you two doing here?”

Song Ji’an and Sheng Jia had not finished eavesdropping while lying on the door panel. The director of the political and educational office next door probably heard the noise and walked out of the office.

This was the first time they had done this kind of thing, and they were not very skilled. When they heard the director of the political and educational office scolding them, they ran away in a hurry, leaving the principal and others arguing behind them.

After running all the way out of the administrative building and to the playground, they stopped and couldn’t help panting.

“Let’s find a place to sit for a while?”

Song Ji’an’s suggestion was approved by Sheng Jia.

After hearing such a case just now, no one would be in the mood to go back to study.

Even if they walked two steps forward, they saw Xia Qingzhao and several female classmates in their class lying side by side on the edge of the playground, like seven salted fish, bathing peacefully in the sun, motionless.

“Oh, you eavesdropped and came back? Did you hear anything useful?”

Seeing the two of them, Xia Qingzhao lay on the ground with her legs crossed and asked with a bit of joking.

After asking, she didn’t forget to pat her side, “Do you want to lie down together? The school just built the cement court.”

The sun in October is still very big, but it is only nine o’clock now, and sunbathing will not cause heatstroke.

Song Ji’an walked to her side and sat down with a thud, and then lay down. After lying down, she tugged at Sheng Jia’s trouser legs, who was looking down at her.

“Come on, come on, anyway, you don’t want to go back to class.”

Sheng Jia stared at her sweaty nose tip and lay down next to Song Ji’an without any resistance.

“Tell me quickly, what’s going on in the principal’s office?” Xia Qingzhao asked again.

Song Ji’an replied with a smile: “Two old teachers are arguing with the principal, resolutely resisting the task assigned to everyone by the organization.”
