Five. Suspicions
"What do you mean? Are you saying that the case of Matsuko and Casey is also related? I asked again, and the truth seemed far beyond my comprehension. At least, I don't seem to know anything about the case from three years ago.
Sun Changqing nodded, and said after a while: "Songzi is a very persistent person. In fact, just before Kathy's accident, she used to complain to me that there were always people following her and people giving her gifts for some reason. That person should be pine nuts, right? Only someone as shallow as he would do such a boring thing, wouldn't he? Why don't you go and check him out? Perhaps, he has always been a thief shouting to catch a thief and misleading you to investigate the case? ”
Sun Changqing sat there in a daze. When Casey's name came out of his mouth, he shivered as if he was afraid of the cold, and after a while, his eyes wandered a little, and he said, "In fact, that is the hardest student I have ever taught, and the most promising." If nothing happens to her...... Perhaps at this moment, he has already stood on the stage at the national level. What a pity, what a pity...... Not only did she ruin herself, but even me. Maybe you think that it was her who hurt the most about that incident, but in fact, I am more pitiful than her, look at my current situation, you can guess how embarrassed I am, I am excluded everywhere, and that incident will follow me for a lifetime, three years, as if everything should be forgotten, but that matter, there will always be people to mention......"
His argument is not surprising, after all, a student's grades are also linked to his future. In fact, although he changed jobs, he never seemed to give up on training outstanding students to participate in national competitions. I continued, "I heard. When Casey competed in that national tournament that year, he didn't seem to be playing well. That doesn't seem to represent her true level, which is what many people say. As her former teacher. What do you think? ”
There was silence, almost embarrassing, and after a few minutes or so, he reluctantly spoke: "She's a very hardworking girl, but for the game, it's more about mental quality." Casey may have taken winning and losing too seriously, wanting to make a difference, but losing too much. However, I participate in such a contest. It's impossible to be normal. So I thought...... Now that she's gone, let's not pursue these things anymore. ”
I think that many things may have been far beyond my comprehension, at least the man in front of me who has gray hair in middle age. What kind of feelings does he have for Casey? I frowned. Unexpectedly, he laughed at this moment and said indifferently: "But things are still beyond my expectations, that so-called competition, originally I had a lot of hope." But the two students I brought with me failed to make it to the finals. This is probably the so-called fate, right? ”
"Two? Who's the other one? I asked curiously. I didn't pay attention to that at the time. Maybe it was because Casey was so famous at the time that I completely ignored it, right?
"Zhao Yan. Looks like you're in graduate school right now, right? There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Sun Changqing's mouth, "It's still that school, I was supposed to take her as a graduate student, but now...... Everything is in the past. I don't think about it anymore. There used to be ambitions. I hope to bring out an excellent student in this life, but I never expected it...... Things will be unexpected for me. Do you really want to pursue a case from three years ago? Or in an official capacity? ”
I nodded hesitantly. But the actual investigation was carried out by me in secret. After a while. I spoke again and asked, "By the way, just four years ago...... That is, the year before Casey's accident. Almost the same time, what happened? I've looked at her attendance records. It's almost full attendance, why did you take a week off? ”
"That's what you say?" Sun Changqing frowned, an embarrassed expression flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said: "The reason she gave was that she was not feeling well, after all, she was a female student, you know, I don't dare to ask too much." Later, I also asked her what was wrong, but between students and teachers, there is always a certain degree, and she didn't want to say more, so I didn't ask more. My lover at the time...... Now an ex-wife, she knows that I always have too high expectations for my students, so I invite her to her home and cook a meal herself. The two of them talked a lot together that day, and then Casey seemed to be in a good mood, and told me that she should be ready to continue playing the piano and would never take such a long time off, but I agreed to let her live in a rented room outside so that it would be easier to practice. After some thought, I agreed with her to do so. And what happened before passed quickly. ”
Things are not so simple, I can see that Sun Changqing still has something to hide from me. But at the moment I couldn't guess what he didn't want to say. Maybe there's some secret I don't know?
"I saw the records at the time, you arrived at the scene after the crime, right? Where she lives, have you been there on a regular basis? I pressed on, completely ignoring his increasingly ugly face.
Just as I guessed, Sun Changqing's lips twitched, his nose snorted coldly, and his face had a little more vigilant expression, and he said coldly: "I know, what is the difference between you and those tabloid reporters?" Since you're a police officer, you can't be like them, chasing after the wind, right? As I said, she is just my student, and I will never touch the red thread between all students and teachers. You know, Casey is a good girl, definitely not as bad as outsiders say, and she's all about studying, and if you want to judge my relationship with her with such a dirty mind, it will disappoint me......"
I never expected his emotions to be so intense, and I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't expect him to stand up suddenly, and said continuously: "I don't know what you want to do, but the past is in the past, why do you still hold on?" It's intentional, right? Why don't you go and check out the guy named Matsuko, I think he's the most suspicious. If it weren't for the ghost in his heart, why would he be there in the first place?
