Chapter 17: Tomomi Yano's past

Mr. Arai saw someone enter the reception room and hurriedly got up from his seat and saluted Hayashi Shuichi and the Kuwashima Police Department. The Kuwashima Police Department and Lin Xiuyi also immediately returned the salute when they saw this, and after everyone's introduction, Lin Xiuyi and the Kuwajima Police Department respectively handed their business cards to Mr. Arai.

"Both gentlemen are police departments, what a disrespectful thing!" Arai sensei was very surprised by the identities of Lin Shuichi and Kuwajima, she didn't expect that the two police officers standing in front of her were actually police departments.

Lin Xiuyi looked up and down at Mr. Arai, Mr. Arai looked very young, his appearance was sweet and at the same time there was a bookish atmosphere, and his voice was even more kind. This type of teacher is usually the most popular in the school.

"Asai-sensei is a teacher who teaches music lessons, right?"

The Kuwashima Police Department and Lin Xiu sat opposite each other with Mr. Arai, because the Kuwashima Police Department was Lin Xiuyi's predecessor, so the inquiry was naturally led by the Kuwajima Police Department.

"Hi, I'm mainly responsible for teaching the music curriculum in the school's secondary school and tutoring the school's music club!"

Mr. Arai replied with a little restraint.

"According to our research, Tomomi Yano has been a member of the Morimura Junior High School Music Club since middle school, do you still have an impression of her?"

"Hi...... Hey!"

When the Kuwajima Police Department asked this question, Mr. Arai suddenly lowered his head, and his tone began to be a little nervous and stopped.

"Arai-sensei, can you tell us about Tomomi-san's situation at school?"

The Kuwajima Police Department and Lin Shuichi noticed that something was wrong with Mr. Arai at the same time, and the two of them glanced at each other, both speculating about what had happened between this Tomomi and Mr. Arai.

Yano-san...... She ......"

Arai-sensei obviously became a little nervous, and Lin Xiuyi noticed that her hands couldn't help but grab the corners of her sleeves, as if she had a strong emotional reaction to Tomomi.

"Mr. Arai, please don't have any worries, the conversation between us will not be leaked to other people, please rest assured!"

Seeing Mr. Arai's unnatural expression, Lin Xiuyi immediately spoke out to comfort him. Maybe it's because everyone is the same age, Mr. Arai raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiu casually, and then nodded gratefully to Lin Lin Xiu.

Yano-san...... I transferred to us when I was in the third year of junior high school, and Yano-san was very shy at that time, and he didn't have many friends at school. So she didn't have a good time here at first......"

Arai took a deep breath, and then recalled the situation as if he had made up his mind. As soon as she said a word, she immediately raised her head and looked at Lin Xiuyi and the Sang Island Police Department's expressions, it was obvious that she was still worried.

"Arai-sensei, what's wrong with you, is there something inconvenient to say?"

Lin Xiuyi fell silent again when he saw the scene, so he took the initiative to ask again. The Kuwadao Police Department also felt that it seemed to be more effective to let Lin Xiuyi come for questioning, so he motioned to Lin Xiuyi with his eyes and let Lin Xiuyi take the lead in the later questioning.

"Actually...... Yano-san was a very nice girl, and I think if she hadn't transferred to our school at that time, maybe things wouldn't have gotten to where they are today!"

When Mr. Arai said this, she suddenly couldn't control her emotions, her eyes were slightly red, and there were even a few tears in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Arai, Mr. Arai took the tissue and thanked Lin Xiu, and after about five minutes, Mr. Arai finally regained his composure.

"Maybe the two police officers don't know, but in fact, on campus, the relationship between people is not simpler than in the outside world. The tuition fees of our private school are very expensive, but because of the reputation of the high school, there are still many parents who would rather cut down on food and clothing than send their children to us. And such children often become the target of bullying by other classmates in school......"

"A beautiful girl like Yano-san can also become persona non grata at school, and for these transfer students, it is necessary to be loved by everyone in order to avoid being bullied. In order to get everyone's love, Yano-san has been desperately trying to please the girls in the class at that time. However, her beauty has made it impossible for her to fit into the circle of girls in the same class. So no matter how hard she tries, she can't get rid of the situation of being the target of bullying by all the girls in the class. ”

……

With Mr. Arai's introduction, Lin Xiuyi finally understood what the young female teacher was worried about. This kind of thing is indeed something that the school tries to cover up. If it gets out, the reputation of the school will inevitably be greatly affected.

"Well, Mr. Arai, is it possible that when something like this happens, the school won't come forward to stop the students who are bullying their classmates?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Mr. Arai curiously.

For us teachers, these students sitting under the podium are our parents, and we cannot afford to offend them. Because all of our work must be recognized by the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association), and the parents of children who are in a strong position in the school often have a strong voice in the PTA. So for this kind of thing, we teachers have to turn a blind eye to it. ”

"Maybe the two police officers didn't know, but Mr. Tomosaka, the homeroom teacher of Yano-san, offended the PTA by criticizing the students who bullied his classmates, and finally had to resign in disgrace......"

Hearing Mr. Arai's last words, Lin Shuichi and the Kuwajima Police Department finally realized how serious the matter that Mr. Arai said. If disciplining a student in turn ruins his or her own job, what teacher would dare to stop bullying among students?

"Arai-sensei, I remember that at the beginning you said that Yano-san was originally a good girl, but what happened later?

Lin Xiu remembered what the criminal police teacher had said at the beginning, so he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I can actually understand what Yano-san has changed since then. After all, if you're not happy at school every day, it's understandable to skip school, right?"

"Truancy? Are you saying that Yano-san often skips school? When did it happen?" asked the Kuwashima Police Department in surprise, why didn't Mrs. Yano mention such an important matter.

"In the last few months of Yano-san's junior high school, it is strange to say that Yano-san, who entered the high school after the summer vacation, suddenly became a popular person among his classmates, but I still haven't figured out why......
