Chapter 31: Can the Truth Be Clear?
Seeing Professor Tang, the old man's mental outlook was much better than before, probably because of the shackles that bound his body. When we met again, there was an illusion that Professor Tang had become younger. However, this should be the first official meeting between Xu Yunge and Professor Tang, and after a brief self-introduction, Xu Yunge began to ask about Hu Xiaoyu's study and life details two years ago.
If you can, it's important to be accurate to the day's study attendance. People's memories are fragmented, and they are not collusive, and it is common for the rhetoric to be different.
Hu Xiaoyu is no longer there, and the various details of 2 years ago are of little significance to ask ordinary people for investigation. As Professor Tang, who is most saddened by the death of his student, as the bearer of the murder and planting, he has suffered too much damage in the past two years, and it is time to give him a little comfort and tell him some good news.
"Are you sure? This is no joke. In the face of Zhao Wenlan's comfort and rhetoric, Professor Tang still did not believe it completely.
Zhao Wenlan said: "The truth is that there are indeed some people in this world who are unreasonable and have too serious patriarchal thinking. Maybe Hu Xiaoyu's death was really just an accident, but his parents' subsequent actions not only seriously hurt social morality and the dignity of the teaching profession, but also caused a very bad impact. If someone maliciously imitates it, it will only create more problems and cannot be forgiven in law. ”
"After the final details of the case are determined, the Hu family's parents will be tried and dealt with in accordance with the law, Professor Tang, you can go to the church to listen to it and know some details of the case. This friend next to me is an important person who provided clues in this case, but due to some identity and security issues, it is inconvenient for him to show his face, please bear with me. ”
Zhao Wenlan spoke very politely, even if his family was powerful and obviously a rich second generation, he had no frame in this regard, and he looked like an honest junior.
Xu Yunge recalled the prepared rhetoric and routines, he came to talk to Professor Tang this time, firstly, to confirm what happened to Hu Xiaoyu back then, and to find out the importance of Wang Baozhi in the follow-up incidents. The second is for the disappearance of the well, although the impact of the incident was not extremely bad at the beginning, but it is also a scar on the hearts of many people, if it can be proved that it is related to the horror of urban legends, it is also necessary to pay attention to continue the investigation.
"Hu Xiaoyu, I have the impression of being a quiet and well-behaved child, and sometimes I may be in a hurry to express myself. Some of the girls in the class didn't like her very much, and some boys made fun of her in private for being stupid, but after her accident, there were many students who were willing to help testify and assist in the investigation, and her popularity was still very good. ”
Professor Tang fell into memories again and told the details of his past lectures.
Xu Yunge actually only wanted to listen to the wrong part, but considering the mood of the old man, he didn't interrupt and listened very patiently.
"Before her accident, there was something unusual about it. For a while, she was late, absent from school, and indulged in some clubs and legends on campus. I thought she was an outward-looking and restrained child, so I didn't emphasize criticism too much, but just told her privately to learn more consciously. ”
"It was also during that time that horror culture was popular in schools. Organize a group to go to the horror house, and at night the club borrows a multimedia classroom to watch horror movies, it does have an effect, many introverted students, after having common hobbies and topics, are slowly becoming active, willing to tell stories at length, which is good for personal ability and physical and mental development, and they didn't hurt others, and we didn't stop it. ”
"However, the discipline of the students during that time was really not good. After teaching for so many years, something has been popular for a while, and after reading too much, you will get used to it. If she was willing to say what was in her heart and what was going on, we would have the opportunity to enlighten her and show her the way, but unfortunately she didn't say anything. ”
Zhao Wenlan took out his mobile phone, he was actually very curious about what happened back then: "Professor, you haven't answered me yet." ”
Professor Tang looked hesitant, and seemed to be extremely resistant to the events of that time: "It was at that time that the students made a deliberate prank, intimidated other students, and forced them to forward it everywhere to ask others. It is said that if you answer the wrong question or go to do some spiritual exploration activities, accidents will happen. ”
"Young people, they are playful and exciting, and by the time we found out that something was wrong, and some students were frightened and started complaining, it was too late."
"Those horrific questionnaires, which kept popping up on the campus like a virus, were fun at first, and then a few naughty students who took the lead were warned that they wouldn't do it again. That incident slowly turned into panic, because no one was sending it, and new questionnaires kept appearing. ”
"Sometimes it's stuffed into the desk, and when the students who study at night go to find that everyone has it. Sometimes I stuffed it through the crack in the bedroom door, got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and stepped on a terrifying grimace pattern in the cold. This was so much that many students were so scared that they fell and injured themselves. ”
Xu Yunge secretly screamed that the students had played such a big battle to the death, but they didn't even see it spread on the Internet, and they couldn't even search the historical records.
Zhao Wenlan was curious: "What about the specific content of the questionnaire?" ”
Professor Tang frowned: "It's just to ask some questionnaires about whether you have seen ghosts, whether you have encountered supernatural events, or imitate ghosts and ask some terrifying things." ”
"At first, it was a storytelling conference in the club, but later I found out that the situation was wrong, because the paper of the questionnaire was not wholesaled by our school, but from the outside. The students are unaware of the origin of the paper, but the people who do the disciplinary checks are very clear. ”
"Then, the principal invited some strange-looking people to do some rituals that I didn't understand very well while the students were on vacation, and the incident did not appear again. I don't know if I should suspect that there is something wrong with the world, or if I am so old and confused that I have become superstitious. ”
Zhao Wenlan got a satisfactory answer, and the topic fell to Xu Yunge.
"Professor Tang, how is the relationship between Wang Baozhi and Hu Xiaoyu? Does she have a similar situation? ”
"It's good, many students are in the same dormitory, and they go to the cafeteria after class, and the teachers can see it. Wang Baozhi's words, she is actually a girl who can't get good grades, and her family conditions seem to be good, because she is more assured of her physical and mental condition, and we didn't pay special attention to her at that time. ”
"If you have to say something strange, it may be that Wang Baozhi went to Houshan Cultural Park with Hu Xiaoyu a few times, but he was late for a few days."
Xu Yunge secretly wrote down these and re-talked with Professor Tang about the mountain behind Hanwu University, and the key was the disappearance of the well.
"That boy, his parents seem to be in business, and they are not only children, so they don't particularly value him. He's a little too independent, and sometimes he's always deliberately unconventional, and I don't know where he went, only that he never happened again. ”
Professor Tang said, his face was slightly wrong, Xu Yunge looked at him a few more times, and found that his posture was extremely unnatural. It's like lying, and it's like you're scared.
Xu Yunge patiently induced: "This matter is related to whether Wang Baozhi's mental illness can be recovered, if she has been trapped on that day and can't escape, she will still not be able to return to school and go to society in the future and be a person with a sound personality." Professor Tang, I know that what happened back then caused you a lot of trouble, but this is our private investigation and will not be revealed to anyone, so you can tell us with confidence. ”
Questioning is boring, and forming detective ideas is extremely complicated. It is necessary to confirm the cause of death, the psychological activities of the deceased, the motive of the murderer, and the mental state of the murderer, so as to have a chance to get close to the truth. By looking through the schedule records of that year, Professor Tang found that Hu Xiaoyu and the boy surnamed Zhang and others in the case of the disappearance of the well did have frequent absenteeism and tardiness for a few days, and the victim of the disappearance of the well case also had a very similar situation.
"Is it caused by the temptation of power and profit, and frequently going to the back mountain to ask for curses?"
"Not necessarily, it's too hard to say, there's something wrong with the origin of Professor Tang's curse."
Xu Yunge knows very well that even if he gets into the urban legends, if he is lucky enough, he can mix until the end. However, if you really want to turn over such old cases and find special suspicious cases, I am afraid that the local police will have to cooperate with the investigation, but that would be too big, time-consuming and laborious, and you must expose yourself.
The strange thing is that Hu Xiaoyu's skipping period was before the two watched the fireworks, and then asked Wang Baozhi to go to the back mountain. It is very likely that she had already received the curse at that time, and Wang Baozhi also said that when she found Hu Xiaoyu, she was a little wrong, but she didn't think much about it at the beginning. ”
"In this way, the person who disappeared from the well before is basically dead. And before he died, he had an obsession to prove himself, and if he didn't do it, he would become something weird. It's really troublesome, it's not easy to take advantage of loopholes to cure my disease, and the cheapness of the curse is not so easy to take advantage of. ”
Seeing Xu Yunge pondering, Professor Tang couldn't help but clench his fists with some worry, he was not afraid that he would go to prison, if it was really his fault, he would be willing to let him go to prison. He was afraid that if public opinion problems arose again, the school and his family would be implicated again, and more innocent people would be involved.
"Professor Tang, have you ever seen that well? It's been almost 2 years, have you ever been to the back mountains? ”
"If you're in doubt, wouldn't it be better to see for yourself?"
At this moment, Professor Tang's face changed drastically, but Xu Yunge was more focused and pressed again and again. Very weak, Professor Tang showed an even more dejected expression on his face.
"Alas, it may be that I am old and confused, and my old eyes are dizzy and misunderstood......"
"Professor Tang, the brains and senses of adults are not as unstable as you say. I hallucinate and see dazzles every day, I can recommend you a psychiatrist, she is responsible for taking care of the victim of this case, the effect is very good, do you want to give it a try? Xu Yunge had a tough attitude, and repeatedly forced Professor Tang to tell all kinds of details back then, he was not afraid of horror urban legends, after all, there were tasks and instructions.
He is afraid of hidden cursed people like masked kidnappers and pregnant women, because they can move around more freely than ghosts, and even deliberately induce people to do evil in exchange for quest rewards. If the boy in the case of the missing well had not died, what role did he play in the first place?
Urban legends and gossip, as long as there is no real hammer and it does not affect reality, it is not a big problem. After all, the killing method of the curse can affect people's emotions and judgments, which is strange and hidden. Without evidence, it is difficult to tell whether it was an impulsive killing, an accidental miss, or a deliberate murder.
Inducement is inducement, once you really kill someone, ordinary people can't wash it off no matter how much they wash it, and they will directly destroy it for a lifetime if they are entangled, which is the real big trouble!
"It's good that you don't run around at night, I seem to have dreamed that a young man who is about the same as you has an accident in the mountains. Things in the dream, I'm old, I've seen some bad things in the world, don't mess with the bad head, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of trouble. ”
"The case you asked, I can find the person back then to help you investigate, I can't help you myself."
"Alas, they are all old men who are about to retire, and they have been working hard for so many years, but I didn't expect that the evening would not be guaranteed. Well, if you can investigate clearly and avoid grievances, Hanwu University owes you a great favor, and if you have any requirements that are not too excessive, the school will try to meet you. ”
Although Zhao Wenlan was a little dissatisfied with Xu Yunge's attitude, she still gave a thumbs up. Next, he and Professor Tang discussed the details of promotion and restriction of age and performance rankings, so as to prevent some incompetent ordinary players from messing around with e-sports.
It's just that those parts are not what Xu Yunge cares about, so he just hung up and sat there thinking, and he didn't listen carefully at all.
"Well, this is the phone number of my old comrades-in-arms and some people who knew about it back then, if there are some discrepancies or they change their mobile phone number, you can send the number to Xiao Li to ask first. They are all small cadres with good roots, and they will not be perfunctory to you. ”
"Xiao Li?" Xu Yunge crooked his eyebrows, and easily sent the number to Lao Li.
Half loud, but there was no movement. After getting a little impatient, a text message suddenly came back from there.
"Little brother, what do you want to check when you send my father's phone, but I just called and was taught a lesson by my father, haven't you finished investigating this case?"
