Chapter 30: Discovering the Mystery of the Fall from the Building
Recently, the number of manuscripts in the newspaper has surged, and Uncle Seven has not been in good health recently, and he is taking leave at least two days a week, and the work of the proofreading team is very stressful.
"My niece is about to give birth, and I have to go see her in the evening." Sun Erniang complained while looking at the proofreading draft. She had been restless all afternoon, as if there were nails in her chair.
Song Chi had already seen her thoughts, she was actually complaining about the lack of manpower in the proofreading team, and she was so paid, but the work she could do was more tiring than the cattle in the fields. "Teacher Sun, aren't you going to perm your hair in the afternoon? It's okay, you can go first, I'll read your manuscript for you. ”
As soon as she heard this, Sun Erniang seemed to have been ready for a long time, and her legs "rubbed" to jump up from the stool, and she began to tidy up her leather bag casually. "Xiao Song, then it's hard for you, I'll go out and do some hair, and when He Lao comes, you can help me talk about it." Three times five divided by two, Sun Erniang picked up her bag as if fleeing from the famine, and disappeared as soon as she slipped through the smoke.
Proofreading is indeed boring, and in addition to being meticulous, this job requires physical strength. Song Chi came to Sun Erniang's table and brought over a stack of manuscripts on her desk. Now he is the only one in the proofreading team, and the productivity of a quiet afternoon like this is the highest.
While proofreading other people's manuscripts, it is also a learning process for Song Chi. Journalist weishenme would write like this? What is the angle of this article? What is the best wording? It's all about the heat. In fact, Song Chi has always been very envious of reporters, not only can he be on the front line of interviews, but also write news reports with his own opinions, and have the right to speak in justice, which makes people feel very accomplished.
Uncle originally wanted to cure Song Chi's autism, so he asked him to do proofreading work. I didn't expect that after Song Chi did it, he would still be exposed to so many novel things. As soon as he thought of this, Song Chi felt full of confidence and worked tirelessly.
Shaking off the spirit, when proofreading the manuscript for Sun Erniang, a news report written by a reporter attracted Song Chi's attention and questioning.
The incident described in the report happened yesterday morning. A professor at Shanghai International University suddenly committed suicide by jumping off the fourth floor of the school's teaching building. The deceased's name was Tam Yiu-chung, 56 years old, and the incident occurred during the recess of the third and fourth classes at the university. The deceased walked up to the roof of the fourth floor and then jumped down.
Teachers and students attending classes on the first floor were the first to hear the sound, then found the deceased and called 120 for emergency services. However, the deceased eventually died due to excessive blood loss and ineffective resuscitation.
Before the incident, the deceased was participating in the evaluation of the title of full professor and had a good reputation in schools and colleges. After the police investigation of the scene, there were no witnesses at the scene, and no second person appeared. After a forensic examination of the body, no human trauma was found. The fatal wound was caused by a fall from a building, and was initially characterized as suicide.
Later, the report here changed its course, and in the commentary, he talked about the pressure of university professors in evaluating professional titles, and the growing smell of copper in academics in colleges and universities. He also cited some similar foreign cases, which gave people alarm bells and thought-provoking.
This report is well-structured and well-founded, making it a good press release. Song Chi was just surprised by the cause of death of the deceased Tan Yaozong, and there were many people who committed suicide due to work pressure and trivial matters in life, but most of them were in a private space, lest anyone find out. And this university professor chose to die tragically in front of his students in broad daylight and in full view of everyone. The blurred picture of flesh and blood makes intellectuals who have always been pretentious and high-minded, how can they be embarrassed?
The reason why the deceased actually jumped off the building is very vaguely written in the report, and perhaps the police are also investigating.
What if a person wants to choose suicide? Is it true that the hurdle in my heart can't be overcome? Song Chi couldn't understand the mentality of a suicidal person, in his opinion, even if he encountered a big setback, with a blue sky overhead, all kinds of troubles would eventually dissipate. Death and abandonment are not the answer.
Perhaps the work efficiency of one person's proofreading is extremely high, Song Chi spent an afternoon proofreading nearly 40 pages. He got up and yawned, just in time for the end of the day.
After Song Chi got off work, he ate a bowl of oyster sauce beef rice bowl, and returned to the community, just about to go upstairs, a ball flew up in the air, smashed on his back, and popped out far away.
There was a feeling of soreness in his back, Song Chi turned his head suddenly, extremely angry, who was so bold that he actually played football in the community. Not far away, a little boy about four or five years old ran towards him.
Seeing that it was a child, Song Chi suddenly became angry. When he was a child, he often kicked and smashed the glass windows of other people's homes, and at that time, he was always worried that he would be punished by adults.
Instead of getting angry, he went to help the boy pick up the ball and hand the ball back to the boy. "Children, you can't play football in the community in the future, it will hurt people." Song Chi felt that he was a big brother and that it was necessary to educate the child.
"I want you to take care of my business!" Unexpectedly, the little boy snatched the football and ignored Song Chi's kindness at all. Song Chi was angry when he heard this, and he clamped the football to prevent the little boy from taking it away.
Seeing that he couldn't rob Song Chi, the little boy simply let go of his hands and slammed his whole body into Song Chi. Song Chi was caught off guard, how did he know that this little boy had so much strength, and with a bang, the person fell to the ground on his back.
I didn't expect this child to be so young, but he had so much strength.
What kind of world, why are today's children so arrogant.
Just as Song Chi struggled to stand up, he heard a man's loud voice answering the call on his mobile phone. “…… The old man jumped off the building and died, I will vacate the house in a few days, you can sell it for me quickly...... The real estate certificate is in the name of my father Tan Yaozong, and I can go to the Public Security Bureau to issue a certificate......"
Jump? Tan Yaozong? Song Chi suddenly thought that the proofreading draft he had just read in the afternoon was reported by the deceased Tan Yaozong.
"Little Red Guy, don't die soon." After the man hung up the phone, he yelled at the little boy, which was very terrifying. The little boy, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth just now, suddenly became much more honest, picked up the football on the ground, and followed his father.
The uneducated little boy was already disgusted by Song Chi, and his father's words just now made him feel even more indifferent. The father committed suicide by jumping off the building, not looking for the real reason, but in a hurry to sell the deceased's house for arbitrage, he is really an unfilial son.
Maybe what kind of son there is, what kind of grandson will there be, this family is really wonderful.
