leave you

Xue Jin left Ah Sang's phone number and promised to inform him if there was any news, but he didn't start to check immediately. Instead, he asked Luo Shan the next day: "Are you busy recently?"

"Busy." Luo Shan, who came to have lunch with him during lunch break, replied with a spare rib in his mouth, "Several cases will be held in court recently, and I may not be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What's wrong?"

"No, just ask."

He originally wanted to use Luo Shan's contacts at Z University to ask about the situation, but if the other party was too busy to get away recently, he didn't need to drag him into this mess - after all, he had nothing to do to ask others for help It was Xue Jin himself, and Luo Shan did not have the obligation to help him.

But then he thought about it again, and felt that if Luo Shan was not free, he would still have to find someone else. After all, he really didn't know much about the current administrative structure of Z University, and he couldn't make up for it if something went wrong.So he took the time to call Feng Qingqing and asked her: "Is there anyone in our class who is more familiar with Professor Zou Shan?"

"Yes," Feng Qingqing said without thinking, "Gu Zhilin."

Xue Jin: "..."

It took him two seconds to convince himself that Feng Qingqing didn't mean it, and then asked: "Is there anyone else?"

"How can there be a second student master who will take Zou Shan's elective courses in your college? It would be great to have one, okay?" Feng Qingqing made no secret of her dislike for him, "At that time, people followed you no matter what you chose. Rubbing the class, who told you not to choose the history of ancient Greek literature?"

"If I want to choose, do I still need to ask people to find connections?" Xue Jin was annoyed and funny, "Okay, I'll find people from their academy again, and I won't trouble you."

He asked a few more people, and finally had to admit that Feng Qingqing was right. It was really not easy to find a lawyer who had friendship with Zou Shan.

Zou Shan is the current dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts of Z University. He belongs to the serious and old-fashioned kind of teachers. They had nicknames such as "old-fashioned" as early as when they were in school, and because the courses they taught were relatively It is remote, and the lectures are not very interesting, so the student attendance rate has not been too high, and few elective courses are almost uninterested except for the students of this institute.In fact, it was beyond Xue Jin's expectation to find a classmate who had attended his class, but this person was none other than Gu Zhilin.

What can he say?

Rather than go to Gu Zhilin, of course he would rather find a way by himself.In the end, Xue Jin managed to find a Chinese student who was staying at the school, asked him what was going on, and asked him to find out what Dean Zou said for him.

"The suspension was really not imposed by the dean," the other party went to inquire, but told him when he came back, "He is not willing either. The school leaders put pressure on it, and the college can't do anything about it."

"..." Xue Jin frowned, "What's going on?"

When he asked him this question, he realized that he might have said something that he shouldn't have said, so the classmate changed the subject and started arguing with him: "I don't know the specifics, and it's not up to us lecturers to do this kind of thing." It doesn't matter... But the student who was suspended from school seems to be in a bad family, he is always away from school, he doesn't have many friends, and he didn't even have a classmate to intercede for him after the accident, it's so pitiful."

He deliberately avoided certain topics, but Xue Jin generally knew it well, exchanged a few pleasantries with him and agreed to have a meal together next time, and then ended this call called reminiscing about the old times but actually looking for a relationship with someone.

After more than a month, the heated discussion on this case on the Internet has gradually subsided, but judging from the records found, the popularity was really not low at that time - a female college student was molested by a male classmate on campus late at night, and the topic was full. It is not surprising that it will cause discussions among netizens.Xue Jin looked through several major news portals, and took a look on Weibo, but unexpectedly found that the popularity of this matter has not completely passed. Even the Weibo recently released by the official Z blog has people scolding the indecent criminal. not be expelled.

The advertisement for the suspension was still hanging on the top, and he also looked at it. Some of the comments contained a lot of traces of trolls, and all kinds of guidance diverged to incite public opinion. It didn't seem like he was fighting for the victimized girl, but he was a bit afraid that the world would not be chaotic. the meaning of.If Ah Sang hadn't looked so honest, he would have suspected that someone had an old grievance with him, and he was deliberately trying to trick him by taking advantage of troubled waters.

The official blog did not deal with these comments. Xue Jin turned a few more pages later, seeing that the content was similar and very boring, so he closed the page and had some judgment on this matter.

Originally, he had doubts about the authenticity of Ah Sang's words, but now it seems that even the school probably knew that Ah Sang was just a scapegoat, but due to some reasons, he had to be pushed out as a shield.If this is the case, this matter is more complicated than he imagined... Suspension from school is nothing, after all, Ah Sang was only detained for two days, and he was released without signing the arrest warrant. He was innocent in the first place. Let me just say over there, the problem of canceling the punishment should not be too big.

But if there is still someone behind the case, doing so will inevitably startle the enemy, and it may infuriate the other party instead, and Ah Sang's life in the future may not be easy.

He wanted to help, but he was not sure, and this matter was not clear until now, everything seemed to be separated by a layer of veil.After thinking about it, he still dialed the number Ah Sang had left for him, wanting to check the situation again.

The call was quickly connected by the other party, and Ah Sang cautiously greeted him on the other end: "Hi, is...Mr. Xue?"

"Well," Xue Jin responded casually, without saying anything nonsense, and went directly to the topic, "I asked someone to help me understand your matter, I'm afraid it's not just a simple suspension from school."

Ah Sang's breathing paused obviously, and it took a while before he spoke again: "But I really didn't have anything..."

"It has nothing to do with you, the problem mostly lies with the group of people who blamed you." Xue Jin interrupted his self-defense, and said calmly, "Now if you think about it, did you really not see anything clearly that night? Any random person, random unique feature, and see nothing?"

He asked bluntly, but Ah Sang didn't answer immediately after hearing this, and became suspiciously silent.

Xue Jin didn't force him either, but waited for him to choose his words, and whether he wanted to tell the truth. The call time was moving from second to second, but neither side spoke, and he could only hear Ah Sang's somewhat cramped breathing.

He didn't make it very clear, but if Ah Sang didn't tell him everything, maybe he would consider giving up helping the other party.In Xue Jin's view, perhaps this information may not necessarily be helpful to solve the problem, but it is the minimum sincerity for a help-seeker to tell what he knows.

He waited quietly for a while, the young man hesitated to speak, and told him what he had concealed before.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xue..." he said, "I'm color-blind, the light on that road is too dark, I really can't see anything clearly."

Xue Jin was stunned for a moment, the answer was somewhat beyond his expectation: "Color weakness?"

"I originally wanted to be a soldier after graduating from high school, but because of my color weakness, I came to Jiangcheng to study in college. Usually, I'm fine. I never drive traffic lights. I only cross the road after looking carefully. But when the light is dark, I just... can't see clearly."

This is indeed a typical symptom of color blindness. Some people can barely distinguish certain colors at ordinary times, but they will be no different from color blindness in dark places.Xue Jin suddenly remembered the wine bottles in Yixin's wine cabinet that were covered with labels. He thought it was because Ah Sang was a novice and was not familiar with the types of wine, but it turned out that he couldn't distinguish their colors at all, and was afraid that he would make a mistake.

"Sorry, I should have said that sooner."

Ah Sang apologized to him in frustration.

Xue Jin's own eyesight is not good, although color weakness does not affect his life as much, but he still empathizes with him belatedly, and at the same time, he inevitably softens his heart.

"It's nothing, don't take it too seriously." It was rare for him to comfort the other party patiently, and swallowed the difficulty by the way, and he didn't say it in the end.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Jin asked someone to check Asang's family relationship. It was indeed a household registration in a small county in the south. His father was a worker and worked in the only power plant in the small county. His mother was a housewife. Little sister in primary school.One person raises a family, of course such a family will not be too rich, especially Ah Sang's grandmother is still demented and depends on family members to support him. With such an extra burden, it is already very good that his parents can afford him to go to college.

In fact, the day Ah Sang asked him for help, he had asked Su Yao, but the young master didn't know anything about the situation in his employee's home, so he scratched his head and recruited the foreman directly.The latter was very measured and didn't say too much. He only told him that Ah Sang had been working part-time to subsidize his living expenses since his freshman year. Because he was diligent and obedient, everyone liked him very much, so they helped him when he was in trouble. .

He is indeed a good boy, and should not be used as a scapegoat to delay his future for some unspeakable reasons.But Xue Jin is also very self-aware. He only has a little money in his family, but he has no background. He may not be able to manage this matter himself.

He looked at the materials and was in a daze until Yang Zixi, who was about to get off work, knocked on his door: "Don't leave, haven't you been alive recently?"

After Ms. Shao's case was concluded, several other cases in Xue Jin's hands were either sentenced or came to an end temporarily. Except for the cooperation with a specific company, there was basically nothing to do.He originally planned to take a break for a while and go out for a walk, but with the sudden incident of Ah Sang, it seemed that he might not be able to leave for the time being.

"I don't have a job, so I'm free to go anywhere." He put a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it, and said vaguely, "You go first, I'll stay later, and I have an appointment with friends later."

"Then remember to eat on time."

Yang Zixi didn't doubt that he was there, so he told him a few more words, and then went shopping with Qiao Mengwei after get off work.

After they left, Xue Jin was the only one left in the institute. He went to the pantry and poured himself a cup of coffee. He came back and played some mobile games. After seven o'clock, he finally finished brewing his emotions. He took out the number and sent it to someone. text messages.

"Check your mailbox."

Then he threw away the cigarette that he hadn't lit for a long time, packaged up the materials about the case and sent them to the other party. After confirming that the sending was successful, he turned off the computer, got up and went home in one go.

The restaurant at the gate of the community at this point was empty, so Xue Jin casually packed two dishes and went home with a bottle of cold beer.When he got home, took a shower, sat on the sofa in his nightgown and started to eat takeaway, Gu Zhilin's reply came belatedly: "What are you going to do?"
