Lei Jinrong received the news of his son Lei Ming's accident half an hour later, and it was Jiang Xionghui, the head teacher of Class 124, who called the crane factory and went around a long circle to find him.

This news is no different from a bolt from the blue for Lei Jinrong.

He is just an ordinary worker in the operation room, receiving a meager salary every month, living a poor but stable life, nearly fifty years old, most of his life has been a rule, duty, what fraud, what illegal, is too far away from his life.

He held the telephone and was stunned for a long time.

After making sure that he was not having a nightmare, he put down the phone, did not ask for leave, and ran all the way out of the Jiangchuan Crane Factory in his work clothes, and he spent half an hour finding his wife Cai Lihua, who was a sanitation worker, on the street, and informed her about his son's fraud.

Cai Lihua's eyes were black and she almost fell.

Perhaps what supported her at that time was not to fall, in addition to her husband's arm, but also the safety of her son Lei Ming.

At first, they wanted to go directly to the police station to see their son, and then decided to go to their son's head teacher Jiang Xionghui to understand the situation, so the two stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.

This is the first time in the couple's lives that they have taken a taxi.

After arriving at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, the couple didn't know where Jiang Xionghui's office was, but a kind student took them to find Jiang Xionghui.

In the office, Jiang Xionghui heard the couple report their names, and stared at the two for a long time.

This was the first time he had met Lei Ming's parents.

Their excessively shabby clothes and old appearance really surprised him.

Jiang Xionghui has always thought that Lei Ming's family situation is very good, not to mention wealthy, at least it can be regarded as solid, because Lei Ming's usual dress is more fashionable, and spending money is also lavish, on the student information sheet in the class, in the column of his father's work situation, he filled in the product manager of Jiangchuan Crane Factory, usually the parents' meeting or did something bad, Jiang Xionghui asked him to call his parents to school, he called a thirty-year-old man, claiming to be Lei Ming's uncle, now think about it, this uncle should be cheap.

A long time ago, Jiang Xionghui was already desperate for Lei Ming, and now after seeing Lei Ming's parents, he even gritted his teeth with a little hatred, but as a teacher, he didn't want any of his students to be imprisoned, Lei Ming did an extremely stupid thing, and he deserved to be punished, but he was a seventeen-year-old child after all, and there were many possibilities in the future, if he was imprisoned, then his life would be almost ruined.

Jiang Xionghui told the panicked Lei Jinrong and his wife everything he knew, and put forward his own suggestions to them: "Lei Ming defrauded Zhang Ji Fishmeal Shop of 430 yuan, this is a fact, you can see if you can make up this money to others, apologize well, and strive for reconciliation." ”

Lei Jinrong immediately said: "Then Mr. Jiang, do you know where Zhang Ji's fishmeal shop is? I'll apologize and lose money now." ”

Jiang Xionghui got up and said, "I'll take you there." ”

Before going, Jiang Xionghui went to the 168 class of the first year of high school to find Jiang Lihua, he once went to Zhang Ji for breakfast with Jiang Lihua, knew Zhang Yunqi as a student, and also knew that Jiang Lihua was Zhang Yunqi's head teacher, and had a very good relationship with Zhang Ji's boss Zhang Yunfeng, so he wanted to pull him to be a lobbyist.

After listening to what happened, Jiang Lihua agreed.

On the way there, Lei Jinrong took out a transparent plastic bag containing money from his jacket pocket, and Cai Lihua also took out the loose change on his body and counted them together.

Jiang Xionghui has been paying attention to the hands that count the money, perhaps it is the heavy work that has been done all year round, shriveled and rough, with protruding tendons, like a pair of chicken paws painted with black paint, grasping a handful of money and counting them one by one, there is not much money, they are all zero votes, but the counting is a little slow, a little difficult, and still trembling slightly.

After counting, there were a total of 87 yuan and 6 cents.

Lei Jinrong stuffed the money to Cai Lihua, and his voice was hoarse: "Do you still have money at home?"

Cai Lihua's eyes were red: "It's all here." ”

Lei Jinrong immediately said: "Then I'll go to the factory to find someone to borrow." ”

Cai Lihua's wrinkled face was full of despair: "But who will lend us now, the money borrowed from Lei Ming to pay the school fee last time has not been paid off, you must know that this is the case, we shouldn't listen to him and let him come to the city No. 1 Middle School to study, now it's good, not only has he hollowed out all his family and carried a lot of debts, but people have also gone in." ”

Lei Jinrong suddenly stopped.

He squatted on the ground, lit a pack of Flying Elephant cigarettes for 3 cents, and smoked without saying a word.

In the early 90s, 430 yuan was indeed a lot of money, but the vast majority of ordinary families could also take it out, but for such a pair of old people who were in debt to pay the high school fees for their son to enter the city No. 1 Middle School, this is not a casual amount of money.

After a long time, Lei Jinrong said to Jiang Xionghui and Jiang Lihua: "Two teachers, you accompany my wife to apologize to others first, and I will raise some money and come back in an hour." ”

How to raise money, should you be a seller, or should you sell blood? Jiang Xionghui didn't know, he looked at this thin and wooden old man, his fingers trembling with a little cigarette butt and reluctant to throw it away, and suddenly understood the profound meaning of the word "despair."

"Wait a minute, I'll be right back. ”

Jiang Xionghui trotted all the way to the faculty residential area, and came back in less than five minutes, and after coming back, he had an extra 400 yuan in his hand and stuffed it directly to Lei Jinrong.

Lei Jinrong's eyes were red: "Teacher Jiang, I will definitely find a way to repay you this money!"

Jiang Xionghui smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go to Zhang Ji Fishmeal Shop and pay back the money first." ”

Zhang Jiqi Fengdu Fish Powder Shop is diagonally opposite the school gate, a few minutes' walk away, after the four of them arrived, Jiang Lihua introduced Lei Jinrong and Cai Lihua to Zhang's mother.

The couple hurriedly handed 487 yuan and 6 cents to Zhang's mother neatly, apologized repeatedly, saying that this incident was a big mistake made by Lei Ming, blaming himself for not educating his son well, and in the end, Cai Lihua wiped her tears and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother grabbed Cai Lihua as soon as she could.

She has soft ears, she eats soft and not hard, and when she learned that the cockroach was thrown into the fishmeal with a thunderous roar, her chest was suffocated, but now, witnessing the desolate appearance of this couple, she really can't get angry.

Eh! They are all hard-working people, they are all parents, how can Zhang's mother not understand the couple's feelings, when her son Yunqi made a big mistake, wasn't she in such a miserable situation in the police station?

Now, people have come to apologize, and the attitude of apology is so good, Zhang's mother doesn't want to spend her mind to dig deeper, but now that Lei Mingren has been arrested, she doesn't know what to do.

Zhang's mother looked at her son Zhang Yunqi and said, "Yunqi, what do you say about this?"

Zhang Yunqi asked Chujian to take a leave of absence this afternoon, did not go to class, and stayed in the store all the time.

To be honest, he didn't know that the situation in Lei Ming's family would be like this, and he also felt that the couple was quite pitiful, but he didn't turn back the arrow when he opened the bow, and now the arrow was only halfway shot, and he didn't shoot Gao Ming's grandson to the wall, it was endless.

Zhang Yunqi said to Lei Jinrong and his wife: "Uncle and aunt, I tell you the truth, this is a criminal case, and it can't be private, and you can only reach a settlement in the compensation area, but I think your son is not the mastermind in this matter, he is obviously instructed by others, if he can confess the problem, there is still room for maneuver, at least he can deal with it lightly." ”

Whether this fraud case is the mastermind or not, the situation is completely different. In the early 90s, the amount of fraud exceeding 200 yuan was a criminal fraud with a large amount, and it was punishable by fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years, criminal detention or controlled release, so it was already a sure thing that Lei Ming would go to prison, but if he was an accomplice, as a minor and reached a settlement with the victim, the court would definitely deal with it lightly, and the sentence would not exceed half a year.

Zhang Yunqi's words brought hope to the six-godless couple, and their panicked eyes seemed to have a glow at once, but, ironically, the teenager who gave them the idea in front of them was the one who sent their son to the police station with his own hands, perhaps, in their simple and simple thinking, the son did something wrong, and he couldn't blame others, but as parents, how could he be indifferent to seeing the flesh and blood that fell from his body facing prison?

After listening to Zhang Yunqi's analysis, Lei Jinrong and Cai Lihua immediately decided to go to the police station.

Jiang Xionghui looked at their busy backs when they went out, and said to Zhang Yunqi with some emotion: "Young man, you are very good." ”

Zhang Yunqi just laughed.

When Lei Jinrong and Cai Lihua came to the Nanhu Police Station, Hu Xiaojun and Sun Longquan, two policemen who handled the case, happened to come back from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and brought three students with them.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon today, Lei Ming went to Zhang Jiqi Fengdu Fish Powder Shop with Lei Ming to make trouble, including Yu Tao, a total of three students, all of whom were taken back to the police station by Hu Xiaojun and Sun Longquan for investigation.

After Hu Xiaojun and Sun Longquan learned the identities and intentions of Lei Jinrong and Cai Lihua, they felt that judging from the current Lei Ming's mood, it would be beneficial to let this strong and middle-class child meet his parents, so they arranged for the family of three to meet.

Originally, according to the regulations, Lei Ming was suspected of fraud, 430 yuan was not a small amount in that era, it had constituted a criminal offense and was criminally detained, and the relatives of the criminals could not meet directly, and could only appoint a lawyer to intervene, but the specific situation was analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and many times in order to solve the case as soon as possible, it was often done on a special basis, and there was no problem with such a green light.

Sun Longquan called two colleagues to interrogate the three boys, including Yu Tao, while Hu Xiaojun accompanied Lei Ming to meet with his parents, Lei Jinrong and Cai Lihua.

In the room, when Hu Xiaojun and another female policeman who made a record came in with a bloodless Lei Ming, they licked the calf without imagination, Lei Jinrong came up directly and slapped Lei Ming in the face, making Lei Ming's lips bleed.

The policewoman wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Hu Xiaojun waving his hand, he looked at this thin, shriveled-looking ordinary father with red eyes and shouted: "How did I give birth to such a brute as you! I should have strangled you to death sooner so as not to harm society!"

The thunder pounced and he fell to his knees.

He didn't say anything and buried his head in the ground.

Cai Lihua next to her was already full of tears, she grabbed her husband Lei Jinrong and said to Lei Ming: "Lei Zi, you say, say quickly, who asked you to do this hurtful thing, hurry up and explain to the police! Explain clearly, let's strive for the government's leniency, even if we go to prison, we must be fair and fair, innocent, and come back and be a good man!"

"High, high. ”

The words came out of his throat with a thunderous voice, a little hoarse, weak, frustrated, desperate, and a little indescribable resentment in it.

When Hu Xiaojun heard this, he asked the female policeman to make a record, then left the room, lit a cigarette in the corridor and smoked silently until Sun Longquan and two other colleagues finished their interrogation of Tao and the three of them, and came to him with the transcript.

Hu Xiaojun took three transcripts and compared them, the content was all the same, and the mastermind behind their investigation also pointed to one person at the same time - Gao Ming!

Hu Xiaojun closed the transcript: "Let's go, go to No. 1 Middle School to arrest people." ”
