Chapter Seventy-Eight: Whistleblowing
"Teacher Cai, is there anything wrong now?" Mr. Chen walked in from outside the office with his teacup, and he saw Mr. Cai sitting at his desk in a daze, his eyes straight, as if he was out of his body. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Teacher Cai?" Teacher Chen felt that something was wrong and knocked on the door again.
"Ah, you, what's wrong?" Mr. Cai stood up like a frightened rabbit, looking panicked, as if someone had discovered something.
"It's not a big deal." Teacher Chen shook at her desk and took a sip of tea, "I just see that your mental state is a little trance-like, a little worried, how is the principal's health recently?" β
Teacher Cai shook his head and sat back in silence without saying a word.
"Ugh." Teacher Chen sighed, as if he was mourning for her in silence. β
"It's fine." She took a deep breath. As if trying to hold back tears, "It's not a big deal." β
Teacher Chen glanced up and down at Teacher Cai, her eyes were red, obviously she had only been crying for a short time, and she probably should have known about her daughter, but she was able to endure such a huge grief and insist on going to work, which was really beyond her expectations.
"Hey," Teacher Chen deliberately didn't have anything to say, "I saw a lot of police cars coming to school in the morning today, do you know what's going on?" β
When Mr. Cai heard this, his whole body trembled, as if he had heard some terrible bad news, and he pursed his lips tightly to prevent himself from crying.
As soon as Teacher Chen saw her reaction, she knew that she should have known the bad news of her daughter, and she had persevered until now that she was really close to the limit, and it was really convincing that the boy had such an accurate grasp of her psychology.
"I..." Teacher Cai spoke slowly, with a sad cry, "My daughter fell into the water and drowned!" β
"Huh!?" Teacher Chen gasped and pretended to be surprised, he understood that he must not show any flaws at this moment, otherwise in this case, she would most likely blame herself indiscriminately for her daughter's death.
"I don't know what's going on." She was like a child, tears fell instantly, the expression on her face was really sad, indeed, strictly speaking, she should still be a little girl-like existence for Teacher Chen's age, "Yesterday afternoon, I asked her to wait for me downstairs, and when I finished my homework and went to look for her, she was gone, and I searched for a night and finally called the police, and received a notice in the early morning of the next day, she, her body floated on the lake of our school." β
"What's going on??" Mr. Chen's tone was a little anxious, and he wanted to show his concern and concern.
"The police investigated the shore for a while, but there was no surveillance, and finally they could only conclude that they had fallen into the water." She began to sob, so grief that she could not bear it, and almost broke the young mother.
"Oops! That's a shame! The little guy doesn't know anything!. Teacher Chen showed a regretful expression, "Oh my God, there is such a thing happening in our school, how can this happen, next time we have to build a fence by that lakeγγγγγγ You must be good, this kind of natural and man-made disasters are unbearable. β
Teacher Cai didn't answer, he couldn't cry, he received such a series of blows in just a few days, it is indeed almost crazy for ordinary people, right? This seemingly weak woman can still insist on going to work here, and I have to admit that maybe she really has a strong psychology.
"That's not right." Teacher Chen suddenly changed her words, "I suddenly remembered that the lake in our school has a railing, did she climb over the railing and fall down by herself?" β
"Huh?? Yes??? When Mr. Cai heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. Chen, "What did you say?" β
He looked at her eyes that were almost so red and swollen that he couldn't open them, and suddenly his heart softened, "I mean, there are guardrails around our school lake, it stands to reason that she won't fall into the water, if you want to accidentally fall into the water, you have to climb the railing, your daughter is so young, could it be because of curiosity that she climbed the railing and accidentally fell into the water?" β
"Impossible!" Teacher Cai denied: "My daughter will never do such a thing!" I've warned her repeatedly that she's not allowed to climb these things, and she's always been obedient and would never do anything like that! β
"Ah, that's right." Teacher Chen pretended to suddenly realize, "Then this is very strange, don't you think Mr. Cai?" β
She and Teacher Chen glanced at each other and nodded slowly, "I, after I know the news, there is almost nothing left in my mind, but hearing you say this, it seems to be a little strange." β
"Yes, Mr. Cai, don't you think that someone is deliberately harming you?" Teacher Chen pretended to be serious, frowned, and seemed to be thinking intensively, "Will someone retaliate against you for something?" β
"No, it won't, right?" Teacher Cai thought back, "How could I have a colleague hate me to this extent in school? β
"Indeed." Teacher Chen scratched his head, "It's really strange, why is this happening, it stands to reason that no one should have a deep hatred with you to this level, why can you do such a thing that is unconscionableγγγγγ β
Suddenly, he clapped his hands as if he remembered something, but then put them down again, as if denying his own idea.
"What's wrong?" Teacher Cai saw his talent and this series of actions, and knew if he had thought of something.
"I'm not sure." He hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm just guessing, since you don't have any enemies at school, do you think it would be a student who did it?" β
"Student ???" Teacher Cai seemed to stop crying, "What did the student do? β
"yes." Teacher Chen's voice trembled a little, he was actually very nervous at this moment, this could be an extremely critical step for him, "Could it be that you don't usually pay much attention to students who have a strong prejudice against you to do such an extreme thing." β
"I, I don't know!" Teacher Cai panicked, what he said seemed to be true, and if he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be really reasonable, did everyone in his class really notice it? Do you know each person's mental activities clearly? Doesn't every student have anger in their hearts when they get angry? It's as if I've never delved into what my students are thinking.
"Then think about it, will you offend that student." Teacher Chen was a little serious: "Students of this age are completely reckless in doing things, and they don't know what is wrong at all, do you think about whether it will be a student in your class who did it." β
Teacher Cai frowned and fell into deep thought, and suddenly, she raised her head, as if she had thought of something, and shouted loudly
"I seem to know who did it."
