When Hai Feng saw Yang Shen again, he couldn't believe his eyes, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for such a short time, and Yang Shen was so old that he couldn't even recognize it. At this time, Yang Shen's eyes were red, his mottled white hair was messily on his head, and the clothes on his body were also wrinkled, and he didn't take care of it at all.

After seeing Hai Feng, Yang Shen smiled awkwardly and said to Hai Feng: "I'm really sorry, I'm going to trouble you again! This year is really eventful! I'm not a good dean!"

Hai Feng smiled and said to Yang Shen, "It's okay Professor Yang, what happened again?"

Yang Shen sighed and said, "This time it's not our college's business, it's the school's textbook office's business, how can I say it, alas, Mr. Zhang, you can talk to the coast guard officer yourself!"

Hai Feng looked at the teacher Zhang that Yang Shen said, who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a pair of round-framed gold glasses, one of which was already crooked, and the glasses were just diagonally on his face. There were two tear stains on his chubby face, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was sad.

Next to him, several middle-aged people who seemed to be his colleagues were surrounding him, some comforting, some silent, and all with sad faces. A little farther away, an old man in a dark red woolen coat was sitting there, wiping tears from his eyes, and next to her, an old man in a brown wick overalls was patting her on the back and choking her up.

Hai Feng walked up to Teacher Zhang and asked, "What happened?" Can you tell me?"

Teacher Zhang raised his head and looked at Hai Feng, wanted to speak, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, sighed, and then lowered his head and shook his head uncontrollably, and repeated it two or three times without saying a word. The colleagues next to him were also comforting Mr. Zhang, telling him not to be too anxious and not to be excited.

Yang Shen saw this scene and said to Haifeng: "Teacher Zhang is not in a good mood now, let's just say it, and I have to trouble the two of you and me to come out!"

Hai Feng and Zhao Zhijie then followed Yang Shen out of the room, and followed Yang Shen to the office next door.

Yang Shen asked Haifeng and them to sit down first, called a student to pour a glass of water for the two of them, and then said, "The teacher Zhang you just saw is called Zhang Ming, who is a teacher in the school's textbook office, and is responsible for the procurement of students' textbooks. I've been working in school for five years. I've always been diligent.,A person who does his duty.。 The work was not excellent, but it was decent, and there were no problems. ”

Yang Shen sighed again as he spoke, and continued: "This year's student textbook procurement plan was planned and completed two months ago, and it should have been distributed to various colleges a month ago to prepare for the start of school. However, the textbook office did not send the book down for a long time, and several colleges went to urge it, and Mr. Wu, the person in charge of the textbook office, found that the textbook was not yet in place. ”

"Mr. Wu went to ask Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang said every time that the supplier's preparation was insufficient this year, and he would not be able to come back two days late. It dragged on for almost a month, and yesterday Mr. Wu finally couldn't sit still, and went directly to the supplier, only to find that Mr. Zhang didn't pay that side at all, so naturally he didn't send a book over there. ”

Yang Shen paused and continued: "The textbooks purchased this time are for the students to use next semester, and the total amount is more than 10 million. It's the room you just went to. At that time, I happened to come to ask students about the textbooks with the teacher in charge of the distribution of textbooks at our college, and they ran into it. ”

Yang Shen paused, and continued with a sad face: "When Teacher Zhang first arrived at Teacher Wu's office, he wanted to hide this matter, but he was exposed by Teacher Wu. Teacher Wu was anxious and said that he wanted to report to the school leaders and let the police deal with the matter, which made Teacher Zhang tell the truth. ”

At this time, the sadness on Yang Shen's face became thicker, and his voice became more choked, and he said intermittently: "It turns out that the purchase fee was used by Mr. Zhang to gamble online. I didn't have a single point left to lose, and I couldn't take out the money to order textbooks at all, so I could only hide it from day to day. ”

"But I can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school, Mr. Zhang cried bitterly when he told the matter, and the whole person cried into tears, and kept saying that he was obsessed with his heart, and he deserved to die. ”

"But no one can hold on to such a big matter, there is no way, Mr. Wu still told the school's principal Zhu. ”

Saying that, Yang Shen lowered his head and sighed again, and then said: "Here is Teacher Zhang crying and screaming to commit suicide, and over there is the students' textbooks are completely unsettled, Principal Zhu had to let us watch Teacher Zhang, and at the same time he ran to the supplier to find a way to see if they could let them give the textbooks on credit first, so that the students could get the textbooks when they started school, or what if these tens of thousands of students couldn't even get the textbooks when they started school!"

Yang Shen couldn't help but burst into tears as he spoke, looking at Yang Shen, who was almost close to the age of the sixtieth year, looking sad, Hai Feng and Zhao Zhijie didn't feel good in their hearts. Hai Feng knew that Yang Shen was a person who cared about his students, and he took the affairs of his students more seriously than his own, and he was a good teacher who was really tireless and conscientious.

Yang Shen choked up and continued: "It was just an afternoon of making trouble, and another night, during which someone notified Teacher Zhang's parents, but the two old men are also ordinary people, how can there be so much money to make up this hole for him, and he can't do anything except cry bitterly." ”

Yang Shen touched his tears with his sleeve and said to Hai Feng: "Hai Feng, what do you mean by this? I am also a person who has dealt with crime all my life, but now I am more and more unable to understand it, why do you say that these people are so powerful now? How can a teacher who is cautious in his words and deeds so easily fall into their way, and so easily take tens of millions of textbooks to gamble?"

"Are those people who gamble online so powerful? If he gambles in reality, then it would be good to recover the money, but he is gambling on the Internet, and he doesn't even know where the other party is, what can he do?"

Hai Feng looked at Yang Shen's painful appearance, for fear that something would happen to him again, so he said to Yang Shen: "Professor Yang, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, since Director Qiu arranged for me to come, I will definitely investigate clearly." ”

Saying that, Hai Feng added: "I will find a way to recover the money, you have to take care of your body." I see you haven't slept all day, you can go back and rest for a while, we are here, and we will leave the matter to us. ”

Yang Shen let out a long sigh and said to Hai Feng: "Such a big thing happened, you let me go back to rest now, I don't have that mood!"

Saying that, Yang Shen walked to Hai Feng's side, shook his hand and said, "Hai Feng, you must find a way to help get this money back, it's a matter related to tens of thousands of students!"

Hai Feng held Yang Shen's hand and said, "Professor Yang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to recover the money." Don't be too sad, go back and rest first, I also have to talk to Teacher Zhang, and then carefully understand the situation before I can handle the case!"

Yang Shen said to Haifeng: "Don't persuade me, now let me go back, my heart will be pinched, you still let me stay here." You wait here first, there are too many people over there to ask, I'll call Teacher Zhang over to you. ”

Looking at Yang Shen's thin back staggering out of the room, Hai Feng didn't feel good in his heart, he was already a person close to the sixtieth year, but he was worried about the student's affairs, Hai Feng admired this old man even more.

Zhao Zhijie said to Hai Feng: "Team Leader Hai, Professor Yang is not easy!"

Hai Feng nodded and said, "Yes, there are really not many teachers like Professor Yang now, so we have to help him even more." Let's put the matter of 'Teacher Song' you said first, and then deal with this matter first. ”

Zhao Zhijie nodded and said, "Understood, Captain Hai, you can arrange it!"

When the two of them were talking, Yang Shen had already led Zhang Ming into the room. Yang Shen said to Zhang Ming: "Don't be too excited, calm down, tell the coast guard officer in detail about the matter, and see if there is room for redemption." ”

At this time, Zhang Ming was no longer as excited as before, and the whole person was also depressed, leaving only a sad face. He nodded to Yang Shen and said, "Dean Yang, I know, thank you." I'll be honest. ”

Hai Feng looked at Zhang Ming with a sad face and said, "Sit down first, don't be excited, slow down and adjust your mood." Now that it's happened, let's find a way to solve it, and everyone is here to help you. You speak slowly, tell me the details of what happened, and see if there is a way to recover the loss. ”

Zhang Ming listened to Haifeng's words and nodded, sat down, took a deep breath, and was about to say the matter calmly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but cry, and tears flowed out. Zhang Ming cried bitterly and said: "It's all my fault, I'm really obsessed, I even moved the students' textbook fees, I'm really innocent!"

Hai Feng said to Zhang Ming slowly: "Don't cry yet, calm down, you tell the matter first, and we can help you see if we can get this textbook fee back, okay?"

Zhang Ming nodded, sniffed, and began his story.

Zhang Ming said: "I am a teacher in the school's textbook office, and I am mainly responsible for the procurement of students' textbooks. Don't look at the amount of money I handle, but I never thought of taking a penny from here, and there were once suppliers who gave me kickbacks in order to be included in the procurement sequence, but I refused, after all, this is all students' money, no matter how I say it, I am also a teacher, and I never thought of making money on it. ”

Zhang Ming paused and continued: "I am from Mingdong, my family conditions are average, I am an administrator, and I have no substitute fees, so my salary is relatively low. ”

"In the past, the school was divided into houses, and there was no problem with low salaries. But after I came, the school didn't solve the housing problem. Housing prices in Mingcheng are not cheap. Relying on the salary of the unit to buy a house and start a family, it is indeed a bit stretched. ”

"So I often go out with my friends to do some personal work and earn some extra money. Those friends are all in business, and it is inevitable to play cards and mahjong with them. ”

"Of course, at that time, everyone was just having fun, and winning or losing was about 1,000 yuan a night, and my friends knew that I was in poor economic conditions and often took care of me, so I basically won more and lost less. It also made me a little inflated, and I felt that I was biased towards money. ”

Zhang Ming sighed and said: "In the end, I don't know myself, I really think of myself as a person, which caused a big disaster." ”

"Some time ago, I met a friend on the Internet, a girl, and her circle of friends are all photos of sightseeing, fragrant cars, BMWs. I saw that the selfies on her circle of friends were not as old as me, and I jokingly asked her if she had a rich godfather who spent money all day long. She told me that she was playing cards to make money. ”

"I was so moved by the pictures of her that I asked her where she was playing and how she could make so much money. She told me that it was on a gambling site, and that there were a lot of people playing on that site, and that as long as you played the cards well, you could make a lot of money. ”

Zhang Ming paused and continued: "I didn't believe it at first, I didn't take her words seriously, after all, I am not a gambler. But she told me that she took me to play, and that it was hers if she lost. I played a few cards with her for the sake of face. I made a few hundred dollars. And that's how it passed. ”

After that, the two of us talked a lot, and she and I became acquainted. She was still the same and asked me to play with her from time to time. What I thought at the time was that after all, she made a living from gambling, and it was normal for her to like to ask people to play cards. I played with her and won more and lost less, and I could earn two or three thousand yuan in a week. ”

"Originally, I played cards with her just because the two of them had a good chat, so I didn't refute her face, perfunctory her, just a scene, but I didn't expect to make a lot of money. I became a little addicted and slowly started to play. At first, it was only a few hundred dollars to play, and then it often cost thousands of dollars. ”

"I played with that girl like that, and I was lucky at the time, basically winning more and losing less. Overall, it's still profitable. Later, I swelled up and felt that I had found a way to make money. Later, the girl encouraged me to take more money to come out and play with her, and I agreed. I took out all the money I had saved to buy a house. ”

Zhang Ming lowered his head and began to wipe his tears again. After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I'm not too greedy, I just want to take advantage of my luck to earn more money to make a down payment for a house." ”

Zhang Ming's voice changed as he spoke: "After I took out my savings, I still won more and lost more at first, but then my luck was not good, and the more I fought, the more I lost." Not only did he lose all the money he won, but he also lost a lot of his own capital. The girl should have lost no less money at the time, so she stopped playing. ”

"I was a little unwilling at the time, thinking that at least I wanted to win back my capital, so I started playing by myself again. As a result, I began to be unlucky, how to play and how to lose, and it didn't take long to lose all my capital. That's what I've worked so hard to save for five or six years. ”

"At that time, I told myself to quit gambling and never play again. But it didn't take long for the girl to let me play with her again. I was unwilling to let my years of continuation come to naught, and I always felt that I had lost because I was unlucky, and if I was lucky, I could win it back, so I started playing again. ”

"I didn't have much money at that time. So I'm playing with my own salary, but I'm starting to win more and lose less again. It just so happened that the school's purchase money came down, and it was in my hand. I thought I'd borrow it first, and then I would get my savings back and put it away. ”

"But I don't know how to do it, the more I want to win, the more I can't win money, and when I don't use the purchase money, I win more and lose less, and I want to win less and lose more, so I lose money every day for several Sundays. The more I lost, the more unwilling I became, and by the time I came to my senses, I had lost all my money. There is not a single eldest son left. ”

The more Zhang Ming spoke, the more choked his voice became, and he didn't raise his head again, he didn't dare to look at Haifeng's eyes, so he could only lower his head and continue: "I panicked when I found out that the money was all lost, so I told the girl that the money was not mine, it was borrowed by me, and asked her to find a way to help me get it back." ”

But the girl said that she also lost a lot, and the website was not hers, and she was willing to gamble and lose, and she couldn't help me. I had a lot of trouble with her, and she just blocked me. I also tried to contact the customer service of the gambling site to get the money back, but the customer service of the website ignored my request and rejected me directly. ”

Zhang Ming cried again as he spoke, and instantly burst into tears, he choked up and said: "I already have the idea of seeking death when I know that the money will not come back, but seeing that the New Year is coming, I want to spend the New Year with my parents again." So I thought that I could delay it for a day, and I wouldn't live until the end of the New Year. ”

After speaking, Zhang Ming touched his tears with his sleeve, and then said: "I also know that the paper can't contain the fire, the teaching materials should have been in place a long time ago, and the delay can't be delayed for a few days, I am ashamed of the school leaders and students, I can't pay this account back in my life, I can only apologize for the crime with death, and I will pay off the debt again in the next life." ”

After listening to Zhang Ming's story, Hai Feng felt both sorry for what happened to him and indignant at his behavior. A university teacher who could have a great future has gone astray like this, no matter who feels sorry for him, but who can not hate him for gambling with all the money he uses to buy textbooks from his students?

Hai Feng said to Zhang Ming: "Once you die, it's not a solution to the problem, it's not that you can get the money back when you die." Escaping responsibility by dying can only show that you are a coward. Stop crying, men have to look like men. You deserve the punishment you deserve for your actions, go and confess your sins, and stop looking for life and death. ”

Hai Feng stared at Zhang Ming after speaking, and then added: "If you still have a little conscience now, you should live, live to accept punishment, live to help us get the students' money back." Don't run away anymore, running away won't solve the problem. ”

Zhang Ming looked at Hai Feng, who was righteous, he finally stopped crying, he began to cooperate with Hai Feng, and under Hai Feng's guidance, he told Hai Feng all the clues he could provide.

It was not too early to learn about the case from Zhang Ming, and Hai Feng and Zhao Zhijie comforted Yang Shen again, and then said goodbye to everyone.

When they left, neither Hai Feng nor Zhao Zhijie opened their mouths again, and left Mingcheng University in silence.
