1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 7 Three Questions
The educated youth suddenly became panicked.

They actually gathered together and walked to the side, staying away from the villagers, and got close to each other and whispered to each other.

"Li Shuang, Zhang Yan'e, is there such a thing as review materials?"

"At this point, the villagers are going to call the police to deal with it. Are you two still unwilling to tell us the truth..."

"Tell the truth, what do you mean by the truth? If you don't believe us, why did the four of you come with us? What's the point of arguing about this now..."

"Ah? Zhang Yan'e, you crazy woman, you really are lying to us..."

"Don't say such harsh words, it's not like you haven't been moved!"

"That's right. Besides, if Zhong Xiuping hadn't left Lu Yifan the college entrance examination review materials, how could he, who is named Lu, be able to pass the provincial exam and become the top scorer?"

"Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you, I even have reason to suspect that the one with the surname Lu got the first-hand test questions..."

"What? Li Shuang, if you don't have evidence, please stop talking nonsense. Leaking college entrance examination questions is a serious crime of leaking state secrets. If it were in ancient times, the three clans would be exterminated..."

"Huh, evidence? If I had evidence, I would have already..."

"Li Shuang, what have you been thinking about? Do you want to report it?"

"Hehe, I won't argue with you about this. Actually, Lu Yifan got the provincial top scorer. You should think about it. You should know that Zhong Xiuping's parents, who have resumed their jobs in the ministry, are said to be in the cultural and educational system, and they happen to be in charge of the college entrance examination..."

"Li Shuang, what do you want to say?"

"That's right, could it be that there really is such a thing as a college entrance examination exam leak?"

"I don't know whether there was a leak of the exam questions, but let's talk about the facts. Take Zhong Xiuping's personality. You all know what kind of person she is. Can you imagine that a timid and cowardly woman like her who likes to pretend to be pure could actually do such a despicable thing as abandoning her lifesaver husband Lu Yifan and returning to the city alone, which would ruin her reputation? Even if you use your toes to think, you can imagine that there must be some unknown secret arrangements. Otherwise, how could Lu Yifan, a small farmer, who has much lower academic qualifications than the six of us, get a good score of the provincial champion? If there is no trick behind this, I will cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball..."

"Alright, alright, what's the point of arguing about this now?"

"That's right, let's quickly unify our statements..."

"Get lost, speak with one voice, and confess your crime! Do you really think we are criminals?..."

The educated youth huddled together and whispered to each other from a distance.

As for the villagers, the old secretary reprimanded them with a gloomy face, saying basically that they should not make things so embarrassing that they could not save themselves. The educated youth were just poor kids from other places, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

This kind of wishy-washy attitude shows that he doesn't care about the future of the seven college entrance examination candidates in the village.

This caused Aunt Tieying and the others to scold her continuously.

Lao Zhishu left angrily.

But more villagers only heard the news at this time.

They were rushing towards Lu Yifan's house in groups of three or five.

There is a ghost.

Everyone thought that if they went to the commune to report the case and call Public Security Luo, they would have to wait at least another hour.

Little did they know that a situation would occur that the villagers had never expected.

Qiangwa and Naowa, who had just run to the village entrance, happened to run into Luo, the policeman, who was riding a bicycle into the village.

What's more, Luo Gongan didn't come alone.

There was also a military green jeep and five commune militiamen riding on the jeep and carrying guns.

Qiangwa and Naowa came forward to talk to him.

Wow, this group of people were none other than Lu Yifan, the provincial number one scholar who came to Renhe Village.

"Something's not right!"

Qiangwa and Naowa looked at each other and wanted to rush back to the village to report the news, but unfortunately they were forced by Luo Gongan to get on the back of the bicycle and ride into the village with the group of people.

The villagers soon noticed the arrival of this group of people.

After a while.

The door of Lu Yifan's house was surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

The educated youth were also shocked by such a scene.

It was learned that the educated youth had come to the house and were arguing over a set of college entrance examination review materials, and had even gone to the extent of calling the police and asking Public Security Luo to come and solve the case.

Upon hearing the news, Public Security Luo exchanged glances with the cadres who arrived in the jeep.

After getting the approval from the officials, Luo Gongan immediately took the lead and began to preside over the investigation of the case. He called the two parties involved together and prepared to try the case in public. "To be honest, the people who came with me are officials from the provincial education committee. A few days ago, the provincial education committee's recruitment office received a letter of complaint. Someone reported that our provincial champion Lu Yifan was suspected of cheating in the college entrance examination. Someone leaked the test questions to him in advance..."

"We came here originally intending to ask Comrade Lu Yifan to assist in the investigation..."

"But since I happened to run into a few educated youths who reported Comrade Lu Yifan for allegedly stealing their shared college entrance examination review materials, and they wanted me to investigate the case, then I will investigate this case first..."

wow...

The villagers at the scene were in an uproar.

what's the situation? !

Lu Yifan cheated in the college entrance examination and was reported for allegedly stealing questions in advance. The officials from the Provincial Education Commission came here to investigate and collect evidence? !
No wonder Luo Gongan brought five armed militiamen with him.

If this is confirmed, Lu Yifan will be arrested immediately!
The educated youth were also shocked.

However, among the six people, the two female educated youth, Li Shuang and Zhang Yan'e, avoided each other's gazes, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

Luo Gongan quickly captured everyone's reactions.

Seeing that Lu Yifan remained calm and composed, he could make a preliminary conclusion based on his intuition about the truth of the matter.

"Who of you two parties involved in the case will speak first?!"

The educated youth felt guilty and were speechless for a moment.

Lu Yifan raised his hand and said, "I have three questions that I would like to ask the six educated youth in public."

Luo Gongan, "Okay, go ahead and ask! Everyone, please be a witness."

Lu Yifan, "Before asking questions, I need to prepare paper and pens for the six educated youth. Also, when they answer my questions, they must not make any noise. Just write down the answers on paper and then show them in public. Please monitor them to see if they are whispering to each other or peeking at what others are writing."

Hiss~~!

Hearing Lu Yifan's arrangement, Luo Gongan suddenly took a deep breath: Good boy, you are digging a hole for the educated youth to fall into!

The two female educated youth Zhang Yan'e and Li Shuang were the first to quit.

"Why should we be interrogated by you like this? Are you treating us as criminals?"

"That's right, who knows what you are going to ask..."

The four male educated youth were even more unsure and started to make noise as well.

Looking at their facial reactions, even a fool could tell that something was wrong with them.

Lu Yifan smiled, "I promise that the three questions I asked are all related to the college entrance examination review materials you mentioned, so you don't have to feel guilty. Now I'm going to ask questions, please supervise and don't let people whisper to each other..."

Whoosh~~!

Aunt Tieying and a few others immediately stepped forward and formed a wall to separate the six educated youth.

"First question: When Zhong Xiuping stole your college entrance examination review materials three years ago, were they handwritten or printed copies?"

"Second question, when Zhong Xiuping stole your college entrance examination review materials three years ago, how many days did it take for you to discover it?"

"Third question, three years ago, Zhong Xiuping was already actively preparing for the exam and even bet with you that with this set of review materials, I, a junior high school student, could also get into college. Why didn't you believe it? Now you come here to complain. Are you jealous?"

The question is finished.

The scene became exceptionally quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the educated youth, watching them write their answers in public.

The six people were already panicking like dogs.

I never thought that the guy named Lu was so insidious.

After playing this trick, they were made to write their answers on paper in public, and were not allowed to whisper to each other. There was even no chance for them to look at each other.

"Who can remember what happened three years ago so clearly?"

"That's right, Lu Yifan, you clearly want to get away with it by taking advantage of a loophole. The officials from the Provincial Education Commission have come to investigate the truth about how you stole the test questions in advance, and you still have the nerve to use us as a cover..."

"We are just jealous, so what? You are a farmer who graduated from a junior high school. How could you get the provincial top score? If you didn't cheat, then God must be blind..."

"The leaders of the Provincial Education Commission told me that you should make a new set of college entrance examination papers and let Mr. Lu take them again to see how many points he can get..."

The female educated youth Zhang Yan'e and Li Shuang threw down their pens and papers on the spot and started shouting and making a scene.
