"That family, is it that grandparents have this patriarchal mentality, or is the whole family like this?" Tang Hongye asked, "If the child is three or four years old, did he just enter the nursery before the accident or was he a while?" During this period, except for grandparents, did the parents never appear? Not even once? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, she was sent at the age of two, so she was a little younger than most of the other children in the class, and in the year she came to kindergarten, at least in my impression, except for her grandparents, it seems that she hasn't seen her other family members, so I guess I don't take this child very seriously, otherwise, no matter how busy I am with work, I won't be able to spare any time all year round." Chen Qiaozhen shook her head, "Moreover, I am also a person with children, if I really have the kind of parents who have children in mind, it is impossible not to notice whether the old man cares so much about his children, if the parents of the children really care about her, I don't think it will be such a serious thing, and they will not show up, and they will completely leave the children to their grandparents to raise." ”

After she finished speaking, she struggled for a moment: "I heard something else, but I don't know if it's true or false, I haven't confirmed it, and I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you." ”

"It doesn't matter, just say it, it's true or not, we'll confirm this afterwards, and we don't need to worry about responsibility." Tang Hongye nodded to Chen Qiaozhen, signaling her not to worry about it, but to say it boldly.

"That's the case, I heard at the time, the little girl's family conditions are not particularly good, otherwise the parents would not leave the child to the old man with her, and work hard outside, and then I heard that it seems that Fan Jiying's husband proposed to compensate, the child's grandparents communicated with the child's parents, the child's father happened to be in a little trouble at work at the time, and wanted to do something by himself, according to the current words, it is called entrepreneurship, and it just needs to use this money, so he will propose to increase the price, otherwise you can't agree to be private, but fortunately, Fan Jiying's husband can take out the money and agree to the conditions over there, so the two sides have negotiated, and even wrote the guarantee that I mentioned to you before that people don't know how to evaluate. ”

"By the way, Aunt Chen, there is a question I want to ask your opinion," Du Juan listened to Chen Qiaozhen's words and asked, "In your opinion, what do you think of the relationship between Fan Jiying and her husband?" ”

"This ...... What do you want me to say......" Chen Qiaozhen showed an embarrassed smile, "Emotional things are very subjective, and what I said may not be right, after all, everyone's thoughts and pursuits are different." Personally, I think Fan Jiying and her husband should belong to the category of respecting each other, but I have never felt that respecting each other is a good word, although many interpretations of this word are good, saying that they should treat their husbands or wives with the same thoughtfulness and respect as guests, but then again, who in this world treats guests with 100% sincerity and heart? Most of the time the treatment of guests is a kind of face understanding needs, not a real sense of giving, I think the husband and wife together, each other, Qin Se and Ming, this is very good, but respect each other like a guest......"

"You mean, Fan Jiying and her husband have a good relationship, which is more of a formality?"

"Yes, I feel like this, when I was not retired, she went to work and got off work, her husband often picked up and sent the car, and when she saw her colleagues in the garden, she would greet and speak politely, and she was very fond of Fan Jiying's meaning, and several unmarried female teachers in the park at that time were very envious, and felt that she hoped to marry like Fan Jiying in the future. However, as a person who has come from the past and is an elderly person, I think Fan Jiying's husband is a bit superficial to her, as if he did it on purpose to show others. Chen Qiaozhen said her opinion, "Later, after the child's incident, Fan Jiying called her husband as soon as possible, and her husband came over quickly, but how to say it, Fan Jiying didn't feel like she was in trouble at that time, the six gods had no master, and finally looked forward to her husband coming over to help her find a way to solve it together, but she seemed to be very worried, very afraid, afraid that her husband would blame her, trembling, cautious in front of her husband, especially cautious, The atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath. ”

"Then do you know why Fan Jiying's mental state was not very good during that period of time? Why do trances occur? Du Juan mentioned a detail that Chen Qiaozhen had said before.

Chen Qiaozhen shook her head: "This Fan Jiying didn't say anything, she wasn't in a good state for a while, I also talked to her specifically, and asked her if she had encountered something at home, if there was anything embarrassing, she didn't tell me, she just cried when she asked, she cried very sadly, and after crying, she said that she was fine, but she was in a bad mood, nothing, and after a while, she adjusted herself, let me not worry, she must have no problem." I think she has always been quite reliable, never let me worry about it, and she is also the backbone teacher of our kindergarten, and she feels very smart, so I didn't worry too much, but I didn't expect that it was really because of her soul and made such a big mistake, and I blamed myself for a long time. I guess what made her so restless during that time may have something to do with her family, mainly her husband. ”

"Oh? So why do you have such speculations? Cuckoo asked.

"Because according to our normal reaction, if we were originally restless because of something else, but now something new has happened, and it is of such a serious nature, it will definitely be more devastating and more trance-like, right? It turned out that she guessed the other way around. At first, I felt quite panicked when the accident happened, but when her husband came and began to actively negotiate with the little girl's family, she seemed to be suddenly less panicked. But as the director at the time, even if I was not directly responsible, I was scared for a long time, she was calmer than me, so I felt that she was so unrelenting before, it must be because of something wrong with her husband's relationship or relationship, and then after such a incident, the reason why she calmed down was because she felt that her husband still cared about her, and would bear it with her when there was something, so at least the knot in this area was untied. ”

Although this is just Chen Qiaozhen's subjective guess, Du Juan feels that there is still some truth.

"Can't you remember the child's name?" Tang Hongye asked.

Chen Qiaozhen shook her head: "It's true that I can't think of it, it's not that I know it and I don't want to tell you." You think, I have already told you and you this matter without any reservations, how can I ambush such details? My memory is actually quite good, even if I am a little older now, I am not so forgetful, but that child, my original impression of her is just to always see her submissive, pitiful appearance, there were so many children in the kindergarten at that time, and then until I retired, there were so many children in and out, I can't remember what the surname is. After such an incident, I didn't dare to deliberately strengthen the memory of what this child was called, probably because I always felt that if I remembered her name, then I would feel more guilty in the future. ”

"Can you help us remember the approximate time frame of the accident? In this way, we can also have a direction in our investigation. Du Juan could see that Chen Qiaozhen should not be lying, and she seemed to have no need to lie in this matter, so she had to choose to settle for the next best.

"Okay, then I'll help you think about it." Chen Qiaozhen nodded, she recalled for a while, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at the two people sitting in front of her with some confusion, "Can I ask you, why did you suddenly come to me to ask about the incident back then?" It's been 10 years, is something going on? ”

Du Juan hesitated, Chen Qiaozhen may have the responsibility of not reporting the incident back then, but she does not have any responsibility for the death of the child, but she has been blaming herself for ten years, which can probably be regarded as a punishment for the choice she made in the first place.

Now, if she were told that they had come to learn about the events of that year because Fan Jiying's son had been killed, who knew if the long-retired principal would have directly associated this incident with seeking revenge for the events of that year, and was afraid because he was worried that his children were also in danger.

There is really no point in causing such a panic.

"It was the child who suffered the accident back then, and her family wanted to find out who was directly responsible back then." With that in mind, Cuckoo improvised a reasonable-sounding reason.

"Does the child's family finally have a conscience to find out that it's not just the people who are staring at the compensation?" Chen Qiaozhen was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses and spoke again, there was a kind of surprise in her tone, "But the children have been gone for so many years, is there any way to find out about this matter?" If you can find out, it will really be a good thing, at least you can be worthy of the poor little girl who happened to this kind of thing at such a young age. ”

She paused, and she could see that she was a little hesitant, but she still took a deep breath and said, "If you find out to the end and think that I need to bear any responsibility in this matter, just come to me, I will definitely accept the punishment honestly, and I will definitely not hide or escape." Back then, I chose to help them hide the truth together, to put it bluntly, I was afraid that when I was about to retire in a few years, there would be such a thing, so that the reputation of the kindergarten would be ruined during my management, although I didn't receive a penny of benefits from Fan Jiying, but I was also selfish, so I should bear the punishment. ”

"You've given us so much valuable information, and you've done it all." Cuckoo said.

Chen Qiaozhen sighed: "If the little girl's matter can really be explained, my conscience will indeed be a little better, at least I don't have to be like a mentally ill person, I am especially afraid of seeing children, I won't tell you, my family called me a few days ago, saying that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, I am happy and sad, happy that I am finally going to be a grandmother, sad is ...... With my state of mind, how dare I go to see my grandson or granddaughter! Now, no matter whether you chase me after me or not, as long as I can untie this knot, I can enjoy family fun in the future. ”

Then she tried her best to recall the specific date, and finally compressed the time of the little girl's accident into a range of less than half a month, although it was not particularly accurate, but it was already a good answer for an interval of about ten years.

After helping Du Juan and Tang Hongye provide an approximate date, Chen Qiaozhen thought of another layer of worry.

"I heard that after Fan Jiying is now the director of the kindergarten, her husband has developed quite well, and the conditions have gone up a big step compared with the beginning, and it seems that he has a little energy...... That little girl has had an accident for so long, and the family didn't look like it was in good condition at the beginning, is there a chance of winning? It won't be tossed for a long time, and in the end it's so over, right? She asked with some concern, "Will anyone retaliate or something?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have this concern, if you have any other information related to that matter, you can call us at any time." Tang Hongye shook his head at her, took out his name tag and handed it to Chen Qiaozhen.

Chen Qiaozhen took it and put it away very carefully, and then asked them: "If there is a result in this matter, I hope you can tell me, and my heart will be at peace." ”

Du Juan and Tang Hongye nodded to her, agreed, and then said goodbye to Chen Qiaozhen and left the apartment for the elderly.

"The little girl back then, and Lin Kailang, are exactly the same as in terms of the cause of death." On the way back, Tang Hongye said to Du Juan, "The nature of this matter is finally clear now, it is a revenge murder to seek revenge against Fan Jiying." ”

The cuckoo nodded and let out a sigh: "The only problem is to determine who that person really is." ”
