Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

A week later, Cai Quanwu learned from a law student that Cai Yanran had officially enrolled.

So, Cai Quanwu and Cai Yanran took their household registration books and a letter of introduction from the neighborhood committee and went to the Qianmen Police Station to find Wang Lixin.

Wang Lixin is now the deputy director of Qianmen Police Station. With Xu Huizhen as the link, Cai Quanwu and Wang Lixin are also very familiar with each other. It is said that no matter what era, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the government. It is really convenient to have an acquaintance in the police station.

Cai Quanwu told Wang Lixin the whole story. Wang Lixin was surprised and said, "How could such a thing happen? It's really like hanging chicken feathers on a telephone pole. How daring!"

Cai Quanwu said: "Of course, it is also possible that they have the same name. I came here today just to ask Wang Gongan to accompany us to the school to investigate. If it is a duplicate name, then we will give up."

Wang Lixin immediately stood up and said, "This is a matter of great importance to Yanran's fate. Let's go! We'll go now."

The three of them hurried to the school and found Ms. Ren, the head teacher of Cai Yanran's class.

Wang Lixin took out his work ID and handed it to Teacher Ren, saying, "Teacher Ren, I am Wang Lixin from the Qianmen Police Station. This is my ID."

Teacher Ren didn't know why the police came to his house. After looking at his work ID, he asked in confusion, "What does Public Security Wang want from me?"

Wang Lixin said, "Teacher Ren, is there a student named Cai Yanran in your class?"

Teacher Ren nodded. Wang Lixin motioned for Cai Quanwu to take out the documents in his hand. He explained, "This girl is also called Cai Yanran. She also applied for our school in the college entrance examination. She thought her test scores were good, but she failed and didn't even get into a technical secondary school. We now suspect that someone stole her admission letter and impersonated her to attend school. Please help us investigate, Teacher Ren."

The social atmosphere in this era is still very positive, and things like impersonation sound really shocking.

It took Teacher Ren a long time to react. He looked at the information in his hand and thought for a moment. The possibility of having a duplicate name was very small. How could such a coincidence happen?

So, he said, "This is very easy to verify. We can compare the handwriting of the two people with the handwriting in the college entrance examination papers. We can also ask them to recall the Chinese composition again. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true."

Wang Lixin nodded and said, "That's what I meant."

Teacher Ren said, "Please wait a moment. I'll send someone to call Cai Yanran over." Then he walked out of the office.

Not long after, Teacher Ren came in with a girl who was of medium height and had two big braids.

Cai Quanwu and Cai Yanran stared at the girl intently, making the girl a little nervous.

Teacher Ren said, "Cai Yanran, this is Wang Gongan. This female comrade has the same name as you, also Cai Yanran. They suspect that you are here to study under someone else's name, so we need to verify who is the real one and who is the fake one."

When the girl heard what Teacher Ren said, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She stared at Cai Yanran without blinking, her face was pale, and she felt dizzy.

She quickly held onto the table beside her and calmed herself down. Cai Quanwu and Wang Lixin looked at each other and smiled. One look at the girl's expression showed that she was feeling guilty.

Teacher Ren took out two pieces of paper and handed them to the two of them, saying, "You two should rewrite your college entrance examination essays. I will go to the archives room and compare them with the college entrance examination papers, and the truth will be revealed."

After Cai Yanran sat down, she began to write. Although a long time had passed, according to her memory, she was able to write most of it.

Looking at the girl again, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't even hold the pen. It was such a cold day that sweat broke out on her forehead.

Teacher Ren also noticed something was wrong, and he asked Wang Lixin: "Public Security Officer Wang, what do you think of this situation..."

Wang Lixin probed, "My friend, our police have a slogan: leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist. If you make a mistake and take the initiative to admit it, your punishment can be reduced. I wonder if you have anything to say."

The girl covered her mouth and cried softly, "My original name was Cai Xinhua. My father gave me a letter of admission, saying that I would be called Cai Yanran in the future and that I could go to college with the letter of admission. Woo woo woo..."

Wang Lixin asked for her father's information. It turned out that Cai Xinhua's father was the deputy director of the Education Bureau. He took advantage of his position to intercept other people's admission letters.

This cannot be done by one person alone, as there are also issues such as household registration certificates. Moreover, since Cai Yanran was replaced, there may be other people who have encountered such a bad thing, but they just haven't discovered it.

Wang Lixin quickly called the police station and arranged for people to arrest Deputy Director Cai in order to get to the bottom of the matter.

Teacher Ren took Cai Yanran's composition to the archives to verify the handwriting and content of the composition.

As expected, the handwriting and the content of the composition matched, and the evidence was irrefutable. Cai Yanran was admitted to the university. Cai Yanran was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. No one knew how she had survived during this period.

She was the only one who failed to get into university out of the eight people who were studying together. She was too ashamed to go out and lose face. Later, she heard that she might be replaced. She spent every day in anxiety, but now she finally put her mind at ease.

Teacher Ren said that he would immediately report the matter to the school leaders and try to get Cai Yanran to school as soon as possible. At the same time, he would suggest that the school review the enrollment work to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Wang Lixin took the fake Cai Yanran back to the police station to continue the investigation. Wang Lixin said: "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ren. We will communicate again about the follow-up investigation results."

Teacher Ren said: "This is what we should do. There are still loopholes in our enrollment work. I didn't expect that someone would take advantage of it. We also have to thank the public security comrades for reminding us."

After Wang Lixin returned, he immediately interrogated Deputy Director Cai. It turned out that Cai Xinhua had also taken the college entrance examination, but failed, and was crying and sad at home.

Cai's mother said, "Old Cai, you are the director of the Education Bureau, can't you help your child? If he can go to college, he will have a bright future."

So Deputy Director Cai had evil intentions. The reason why he took a fancy to Cai Yanran was because Cai Yanran was admitted to the School of Political Science and Law, and Cai Xinhua's uncle happened to work at the School of Political Science and Law. They planned to find a way to modify the file after she successfully enrolled, or find a reason to change Cai Yanran's name after a year or so. Then no one would know, it would be a perfect transplant.

Another reason is that Cai Yanran also has the last name Cai, so at least she doesn’t need to change it. So Cai Yanran was chosen.
