Relocation Brigade

Principal Jin stamped his feet frantically on the ground, shouting and shouting.

As if he couldn't see the three people standing in front of him, he turned around and ran out, stumbling all the way, scaring many students.

Hearing him yelling that there is a ghost, many of them changed their faces suddenly.

Wu Weiwei wanted to poke his head out to watch the fun, but was pulled back by Chen Ling: "Don't let people find you, maybe we will come to this school again."

"He was so angry just now, and he is willing to leave the matter to us?"

"Why not?" Chen Ling was full of confidence, "If you hire another person, it means that a few more people will know about Rong Xin's dirty things, and the risk of things being spread will also increase. For the reputation of the school, Jin The principal's best option is to keep us engaged."

Wu Weiwei suddenly realized, "Then we just need to go back and wait?"

Chen Ling pointed to the cardboard box in Jiang Yu's hand: "Go to Zhou's house first, and see if we can get some information from his family."

Zhou Yuanxin's home is in a newly built employee community. The area is not small and the greenery is beautiful. The security guards at the door are dutifully guarding the door. When strangers come, one of them steps out of the security room with a notebook in his hand.

"Who are you looking for? Register."

"Look for Unit 6, Building 3, Unit 201." Chen Ling said.

"Oh, Mr. Tao Ke's house, just go in, there is no need to register."

"Chief Tao?" Chen Ling said, "We are not looking for Section Chief Tao, but Zhou Yuanxin's mother, Ms. Lin Hong."

A head poked out from the security room, and the man said, "That's Tao Ke's house."

The security guard standing outside nodded to Chen Ling, "Is the Zhou Yuanxin you're talking about thin and small, the little boy who always walks with his head down? He just passed away not long ago."

"Yes, that's him. Brother Security, do you know him?"

"They all live in the same unit, so how could they not know each other. The child's father died early, and he followed Lin Hong to live in Tao Zhiyong's house when he was only a few years old."

"Then do you know how Zhou Yuanxin's relationship with his family is?" Chen Ling asked.

When this matter was mentioned, the security guard obviously frowned, because he had some scruples and avoided answering, and only said vaguely: "It's okay."

Combined with the translation of expression and tone, it should not be very good.

The group bid farewell to the security guards, counted down the buildings, and found Zhou Yuanxin's home in less than 10 minutes.

Too many people can easily cause vigilance, and it is also a bit troublesome to explain everyone's identity.

Chen Ling took the cardboard box from Jiang Yu and said, "I'll go in alone, you wait for me outside."

Zhou Yuanxin's family is an ordinary family, and there is no danger. Jiang Yu let go of his hand, and patted the back of the young man's hand with his fingertips as he retreated, "I'm just outside the corridor."

It wasn't life and death, Wu Weiwei really didn't understand why the two were so sticky, so he turned around and walked out of the corridor, and sat on the small flower bed outside the unit door.

With steady footsteps, he raised his head and met Shang Jiangyu's indifferent face.

"Brother Jiang, do you want to sit down?"

Jiang Yu glanced at the flower bed where ants crawled over, "Don't sit down."

Wu Weiwei thought the same thing, how dirty it is, Brother Jiang looked like a clean freak.But he always felt that if Chen Ling asked, Jiang Yu might be another answer.

Chen Ling stood in front of the security door and rang the doorbell.

It was a little boy who came to open the door. He was beautiful and well-behaved. He pouted and looked up at the young people outside the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your mother." Chen Ling bent down slightly, so as not to oppress the children with his tall body.

The little boy glanced at him timidly, then turned his head and shouted inside, "Mom, someone is looking for you."

Not long after the words fell, a woman in home clothes and slippers came out.

The woman seemed to be still busy, holding a paper towel in her hand to wipe her sweat. Seeing that the person outside the door did not know her, she showed a hesitant and puzzled expression: "May I ask who you are?"

"Auntie, I'm Zhou Yuanxin's classmate." Chen Ling softened his tone, pretending to be tender with ease.

The young man was wearing a T-shirt, with neat and clean hair. He looked at himself with his lips pursed. He was well-behaved and peaceful. It was difficult for people to doubt the authenticity of his words.

Mother Zhou's eyes looked like a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, and after a slight fluctuation, it returned to calm.

"It's Yuan Xin's classmate, come in and sit down." She glanced at the box in the young man's hand, her eyes touched the form of the form, and her pupils shrank severely.

When Chen Ling walked into the entrance, he saw a spacious living room and exquisite decoration.

It can be seen that the economic conditions of this family are not bad.

Mother Zhou walked to the wall, picked up the mop leaning against the wall, and put it in the small pool on the balcony.When she returned to the living room, she deliberately turned to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for the guest.

"Thank you, auntie." Chen Ling put the box on the coffee table on his lap, "This is Zhou Yuanxin's thing."

Zhou's mother's face turned pale, trembling fingers, gently stroking everything inside.The sadness that was hidden by her finally came out at this moment.

"Yuan Xin is a good boy, I'm sorry for him, it's all my fault..."

The woman clutched a shoe with sobs. The shoe was old and small. It was obviously not something that 16-year-old Zhou Yuanxin could wear. put it up.

"When Yuan Xin was 13 years old and was in junior high school, I took him to a specialty store to buy it. He was obviously very happy at the time, but he insisted on shaking his head at me and saying that he didn't like it." Zhou's mother smiled, tears streaming from her eyes, Hanging precariously from the end of the eye socket.

"He has always been very sensible, so sensible that I forgot that he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child who is not yet an adult."

"The thing I regret the most in my life is that I shouldn't have allowed him to go to Rongxin, and I shouldn't have allowed him to live in school..." Zhou's mother gently put down her shoes, and pulled her hair almost in hatred and self-loathing.

When she looked up again, her eyes were red, and her inner emotions were filled with pain, annoyance, and regret.

However, in an instant, these emotions were completely wiped out by her, as if everything just now was Chen Ling's hallucination.

"I'm sorry, let you listen to what I have to say."

"It's okay." Chen Ling put down the water glass in his hand, "Auntie, besides delivering things today, I have another thing I want to ask you."

"You said."

"Did Zhou Yuanxin go home on a monthly vacation last time?"

"I'm back." Zhou's mother was a little repelled by this question, and there was an obvious dodge in her eyes.

She brushed her hair behind her ears and asked, "Why do you ask this?"

"I don't want to inquire about the privacy of your family. I just want to know if Zhou Yuanxin had any strange behavior when he came back last time, that is, before he committed suicide."

"Yes." Zhou's mother said, "You also know that your school has two consecutive days off at the end of the month. According to the past, Yuan Xin would stay at home for one day, but that day...that day..."

As he was talking, he suddenly hesitated, his brows were furrowed, and a trace of repulsion flashed in his eyes.

"Daddy beat my brother that day!" the child screamed, full of dissatisfaction with this incident.

He rushed out of his room all the way, and stood in front of Chen Ling with his fists clenched, "Father beats people very hard. He always beats my brother. My brother dare not fight back. It hurts so much."

"Tao Yi!" Mother Zhou picked up the child, put it on her lap, and scolded, "Children are not allowed to interrupt when adults talk!"

The little boy pursed his mouth, clutching his mother's clothes with his little hands, very unconvinced.

As if she didn't want to mention the family affairs, Zhou's mother ignored Zhou Yuanxin's beating, and continued: "After the house made a fuss that day, he left and said he was going back to school. But when it was almost dinner time, he came back again with his body on his body. It was a mess, the corners of his mouth were broken, and he had a fight with someone. I told him to take a bath and he refused to go, and he ignored me when I asked him if he would eat or not. staring at me..."

That look was really scary.

Calm with sharpness, it makes people shudder.

What exactly was said, no one knows.Chen Ling didn't go deep into the hidden part of Zhou's mother, and asked: "And then?"

"Then he entered the room." Zhou's mother's complexion changed, and there was a strange emotion in her voice, "But at night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I found his door was open and there was no one on the bed... "

Zhou Yuanxin seldom got up in the middle of the night, so when she found out that her son was not there, her first reaction was to run away.

Zhou's mother found the mobile phone and called her son, who was prompted to turn off the phone.

In the middle of the night, who would go out to find someone, let alone a teenage, capable boy.

She put down her mobile phone and went to the bathroom. Just as she was about to turn on the light, she suddenly saw a person standing on her toilet.

The dim light blurred the man into a dark shadow, swaying strangely from side to side, like a tireless tumbler.

Mother Zhou yelled in fright, touched the light switch, and pressed it hard.

While the bathroom was flooded with light, she saw the man's eyes suddenly open from being closed tightly.

"Zhou Yuanxin! You don't sleep at night, why are you scaring someone in the bathroom!" After a brief shock, Zhou's mother angrily pulled the person off the toilet seat, and pushed her out of the bathroom through gritted teeth.

Because of what happened that night, Zhou's mother hated things like tumblers, and threw away her youngest son's tumbler toys early the next morning.

Chen Ling took a sip of water, "Auntie, can I borrow the bathroom?"

"Of course." Zhou's mother led him to the door of the bathroom, and raised her finger to the toilet seat, "He was standing there at that time."

Chen Ling raised his head, facing directly above the toilet seat, there was a horizontal pipe that was not covered by the ceiling.

Is it practicing hanging?

Chen Ling shook his head, feeling that this idea was absurd, he walked in, closed the door, closed his eyes and chanted a mantra silently.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

The bathroom is very clean, so Zhou Yuanxin didn't behave strangely because of the dirty things in the house.Jiang Yu said that there are other things hidden in the school, and that thing is likely to be the culprit, or even the murderer, of Zhou Yuanxin's suicide.

Of course, it does not rule out that Zhou Yuanxin committed suicide by his own choice.

In the short contact, Chen Ling could feel that Zhou's mother's attitude towards the eldest son was very contradictory, with disgust, guilt, and pity.

Zhou Yuanxin's life in this family is not good. Just because he is often beaten by his stepfather can easily cause indelible damage to his body and mind, thus putting him on the road to self-destruction.

Chen Ling washed his hands and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of banging on the door from the living room.

Mother Zhou who was standing in the living room hurriedly opened the door, helped her drunken husband into the room, and said with concern: "Why are you drinking so much again? You sit in the living room first, and I'll get you some Hangover soup."

"What hangover soup to drink! Don't drink it! Quickly help me in." The drunkard said in a harsh tone, and pulled his wife back in front of him.

Zhou's mother's scalp was so painful that she frowned, but she didn't dare to resist. Instead, she persuaded in a gentle tone: "If you don't drink, you will have a headache tomorrow."

The drunk man cursed and took a few steps towards the sofa unsteadily.

Zhou's mother was thin and thin, unable to support herself, she fell down on the sofa with her husband.

"What the fuck!" The drunk cursed angrily, opened his eyelids heavy with the smell of alcohol, and dragged out the box that was against his lower back.

He squinted his eyes and rummaged through the box, throwing the contents all over the floor.

Zhou's mother just opened her mouth, not daring to disobey her husband's behavior.

The drunk picked up a half-filled form and looked at the light for a long time, then suddenly spat, rolled the paper into a ball roughly, and kicked the coffee table in front of him violently.

"Fucking death won't make me feel better!" He grabbed his wife's arm angrily, "Where did this come from? You went to school to get it back?"

"It's none of Auntie's business. I brought the things." Chen Ling walked out, pretending not to see Mother Zhou's embarrassing expression.

"Who are you?" The sudden appearance of the stranger made the drunk regain some sanity.

He was tall, with a fat belly, his hair was combed smoothly, and his clothes were decent, and all these external things formed a strong contrast with the ferocious expression on his face.

Chen Ling: "I'm Zhou Yuanxin's classmate."

"That kid is submissive all day long, like a quail. I didn't expect to have classmates. I thought he was a street mouse in school." The drunk snorted, grinning, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Zhou Yuanxin is a very good person, he is not a street mouse." From the admonition in the "suicide note", Chen Ling could feel Zhou Yuanxin's kindness towards his friends.

He didn't blame the other party for being on the sidelines, he didn't blame the other party for being weak, he just said, this place is not good, let's go together.

How can such a person be a mouse that only lives in the shadows?

Chen Ling looked at Mother Zhou. The woman stared at the ground with an ugly expression, not daring to defend her son.

Her weakness caused her son to be insulted even if he died.

This family does not belong to Zhou Yuanxin. Except for his younger brother who is willing to fight for him, no one really protects him, loves him, and cares about him.

"Uncle, you are also a moderate leader in the unit. If such words are spread, it is not good to be charged with insulting and abusing your stepson. It will affect your future."

Business units have very high requirements on personal character and reputation. If the news of beating and insulting stepson gets out...

promotion?This life is possible.

"You dare to threaten me!" The drunk was completely sober, and he roughly pulled the tie around his neck, showing a fierce expression of cannibalism, "Believe it or not, I can get you out of school with just one word."

Facing someone like Tao Zhiyong who is irritable, manic and self-righteous, the more aggressive and fearless he is, the more he will lose control of his emotions.

Chen Ling put one hand into his trouser pocket, showing a provocative smile, "I don't believe it."

The drunk man was short of breath, short of breath.

Throwing away the tie in his hand, he walked forward step by step, and said in a sinister manner: "Sure enough, the classmates of the little bastard are not good things. Didn't your father teach you not to disobey the elders? Then I will replace them today." I will educate you well!"
