Eleven years ago, in the classroom of Nancheng No. 1 Middle School, the second and third grade.

It was the final exam in the summer, and the weather in Nancheng was very hot, and Zhizhi kept yelling from the trees outside, as if he would never be tired.

With the windows open in the classroom, the blue curtains are blown up by the wind from time to time, and the bright sun shines in obliquely, shining on the test paper, leaving a clear line.

The seats were changed to a single row for the exam, with a total of six rows, and the tables were all forward. All student exam numbers and seats were randomly assigned by the machine, and they were posted on the corners of the table in the order of the exam numbers.

This is a final exam in Nancheng City, and both leaders and teachers attach great importance to it.The invigilating teachers were all sent from the high school, and there was no familiar face, so they were extremely strict.

Today, I took the first subject—Mathematics. Zhao Yuliang has finished writing the entire test paper and is currently undergoing inspection.He is in a good mood. Today he was assigned to the classroom of his class for an exam, which made him feel a little relaxed.

With forty minutes left in the exam, he finished all the questions and was sure to get a high score.

The invigilator was walking around in the classroom. Suddenly, the boy sitting in front of him turned his head while the teacher was not paying attention.

At this time, Zhao Yuliang saw clearly who was sitting in front of him, his face suddenly changed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.That person is his deskmate and the person he fears most...

When he entered the examination room before, he had no time to look around. He didn't pay attention to who was sitting in front of him. He didn't expect that the two of them happened to be in the examination room of the class, and they were sitting so close.

Zhao Yuliang looked down at the questions on the paper, not even thinking about checking.Just when he hesitated whether he was going to hand in the paper early, the boy turned his head again, and stretched out his hand, with a very fast speed, withdrawing the paper in front of him.

It was only for a second, and he heard a soft sound, like a gust of wind, and then only the answer sheet painted in pencil and a few scratch papers remained in front of him.

At this time, the invigilator just turned around and missed the whole process perfectly.

Zhao Yuliang's body froze there as a whole, he thought about what he should do.

Tell the teacher?

After the exam was over, waiting for him, but it was not just being bullied by that person.He couldn't do this kind of death-seeking thing by himself anyway.

But if you don't say anything... I don't know when the paper will be copied.

As time passed by, he kept looking at his watch nervously, helpless, scared, and afraid. The weather was already hot, and the sweat on his forehead wiped off a layer, and more immediately.

What made him even more frightened was that the invigilating teacher slowly walked over, and soon he would be discovered that there was no test paper in front of him.

How will it be dealt with then?

Is it cheating or an accomplice of cheating?

His heart was beating frantically, and a heart was about to pop out of his chest. He was so nervous that he wanted to go to the toilet, his body trembling, cold sweat broke out layer after layer, even his hands and feet were soft, and his scalp was hardened. , Sat there, clamped his legs.

Zhao Yuliang hoped that time would stop. He lowered his head and spread a table with scratch paper on the table and wrote scribbles on it. He kept praying that the teacher would not find out about it. He pretended to be coughing, hoping that the person's conscience would find out. The paper was returned to him, but that person didn't know what it meant to accept as soon as it was good.

The moment came, the teacher walked to him, bowed his head, and asked him indifferently: "Where is your paper?"

For him as a teenager, this result is like the end of the world.

At that moment, it seemed that a knife had been inserted into his heart, draining all his blood, his face was ashes, his limbs were cold.He looks like a murderer who has just been sentenced to death.

It was this sentence that became the nightmare of Zhao Yuliang's life, and he went through countless examinations later, but he couldn't wash his mind from this examination.

Even as an adult, he still dreams of this exam from time to time in his dreams.In the dream, he tried his best and thought of various methods until he was awakened.

Lying on the bed, sweating profusely, when staring at the ceiling, he seemed to die again.He understands that it is the shadow that will accompany him throughout his life.

No solution.

And all this is thanks to Zhang Dongmei.

The fourth person who was called in for interrogation was the boy Zhao Yuliang. He is the most educated among these students. He will soon graduate with a Ph.D., and hopefully stay at Beicheng University to teach.

Beicheng University is a well-known university in China. Being able to teach in it will get better resources, more rewards, and opportunities to communicate with the international frontiers. This is an opportunity that many people cannot envy.

When Zhao Yuliang sat down on the opposite side, Song Wen went straight to the point: "They have recruited all of them, so you can talk about it, why are you blackmailed by Teacher Zhang for what?"

Song Wen directly mentioned the blackmail, and Zhao Yuliang didn't have any doubts. He calmly supported his glasses and said, "Ms. Zhang blackmailed me. It's a bit long."

Song Wen frowned and said, "How long is it?"

Zhao Yuliang said: "This matter has some pre-existing circumstances. We have to start from the beginning of our junior high school. When I was in junior high school, I was one of the best students in our class. Three, but people like me don’t get the praise and favor that Zhang Dongmei deserves."

"Because I just started school in the first year of junior high, and I was anxious for my teacher to recognize my excellence... So once, I did a very stupid thing."

"Once, Zhang Dongmei talked about an extracurricular question. Her approach was wrong. At that time, I quickly realized this and raised my finger. In class, Zhang Dongmei praised me. After class, she was tactful. She told me that this kind of thing can be told to her after class. But then, I found out that she hated me very much since then."

Zhao Yuliang now, of course, knew where he was wrong, but at that time, he was still a teenager, innocent, innocent, and upright. He felt that what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong.

If his life can come back again, or can travel back, he must warn himself not to do such a thing, just a small thing, a few words, but changed his junior high school three years, changed his life .

Lu Siyu stopped the record and sorted out the relationship.I'm afraid, in Zhang Dongmei's eyes, Zhao Yuliang's behavior made her lose face in front of all the students, so although Zhao Yuliang's grades are excellent, she did not get the treatment that a good student deserves.

"How does she hate me... For example, one year is approaching the midterm exam, and my grandma passed away suddenly. Upon receiving the news, I went to take leave and return to my hometown. Zhang Dongmei frowned and said to me , Your grandma is dead, and you can’t see it anyway. If you don’t take the exam, you will miss a grade, which will affect the average score of the class. If you don’t speak, I’ll talk to your parents. That’s it, Zhang Dongmei called my mother. My mother went home alone first. I cried and took the exam before returning to my hometown with my father. From then on, Zhang Dongmei and I were even more troubled."

He was brought up by his grandma, and that was the elder he was closest to at home. Grandma was the best person to him, but he didn’t even see his grandma’s remains. When he returned to his hometown, there were only black and white photos of his grandma. An urn was waiting for him.

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuliang's eyes behind his glasses flickered, as if there was water in his eyes, but his expression was cold, and the tears did not flow down. These things are just some sad pasts now.

"In the first half of the semester, a fourteen-year-old boy named Wang Haobin was transferred to our class. This student is a problematic student. Each class teacher pushed this student out and didn’t want him to enter his own. In the class, the old principal was at a loss for this matter. For the sake of her career, Zhang Dongmei accepted him, helped the old principal solve the problem, and sold the principal a favor, because she won the school labor model of the year."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuliang helped his glasses and smiled weirdly, "But Zhang Dongmei didn't expect that the old principal would be promoted after that semester, and he went to the high school department, and the junior high school has a new leader. The new principal didn't accept the love of the old leader. The student dragged our class back. Zhang Dongmei acted unrighteously. He picked up a rock and hit his own foot."

"Zhang Xuemei probably did it out of disgust with me, or thought that a good student like me could influence him, looked at him, and arranged the problematic student next to me and let him be my deskmate. About this Classmate, there is a murder case in his body. It is the Little Elephant Mountain incident in Nancheng before. Have you ever heard of this?" At this point, Zhao Yuliang raised his head and looked at the police officers in front of him.

Song Wen didn't know about this case. Counting ten years ago, he should have been studying at his grandmother's house. He was not in the first middle school at that time, and there was not much contact with these social news.

When Cheng Mo heard this, he was silent. He knew the case and his memory was still fresh.

Feeling that there is still a long hidden feeling behind them, both of them glanced at Lu Siyu sympathetically. Lu Siyu took a deep breath and picked up the pen again.

"Wang Haobin used to hang around outside the school, intercepting money with a group of unscrupulous teenagers. Those children are all famous bastards in the city. There are a total of more than a dozen people. They used the money from the robbery to rent a house outside the school. A house, that house became their den. Under the bed in the house, there was a box containing the money they had robbed. Later, a new kid named Li joined them. Just a few days after the arrival of the surname Li, the children found that the money in the box under the bed was less."

"There is only a part of the money missing. It is undoubtedly a thief. They asked one by one, and finally the suspicion fell on the kid who had just joined the group. They were all half-and-half boys who were not afraid of fear. The child named Li was tied up for interrogation. The child refused to admit it, so they hit him with a stick again. The child didn’t admit it, and was beaten all day and night. The child finally fell into a coma. They simply took out the knife and hit him each , A group of children stabbed the child named Li to death."

When Zhao Yuliang said this, he helped his glasses, his expression was a little cold, as if he was talking about not a homicide case, but a commonplace thing: "After stabbing someone to death, the children will chop the body after discussing it. They drove the body in a few white snakeskin bags, and drove the car to the bottom of Little Elephant Mountain. One person took a bag. They climbed for a long time until they reached the top of the fast mountain. Then they took the contents of the bag The meat was poured into a low cave, and it was agreed that no one would tell anyone else."

"At that time, the Chinese New Year was about to come. The mountains were very cold and no one went up to the mountain. One month later, someone accidentally discovered the body in the cave. At that time, the body was already decomposed. The police confirmed the body after searching for a while and announced the result. That day was the first day of the New Year, and the mother named Li Kid printed the tragic picture of her child’s corpse and distributed it at the gate of the municipal government, crying for severe punishment of the murderer."

"Later, the group of children were found, but because none of the perpetrators was over fourteen years old at the time, and more than ten people committed the crime together. It was impossible to identify the principal and accomplices. They went through a period of interrogation and went to live in Shaoguan In one paragraph, one year after the incident, he was still sent back to the ordinary school to study. And the one named Wang Haobin was assigned to a middle school, assigned to our class, and became my deskmate."

Song Wen shook his head helplessly. It has always been a difficult point in the law to deal with juvenile offenders under the age of fourteen. This case sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually define the guilt, so the sentence was relatively lighter.In recent years, there have been precedents of nowhere to be detained and only returning to school, let alone ten years ago.

Lu Siyu finished this paragraph briefly, frowning and bit his pen cap.

Cheng Mo's eyes deepened. He was the witness of this case at the time. At that time, he had not been promoted to the captain and accompanied the forensic doctor to the scene.Before entering the narrow cave, the forensic doctors who have experienced many battles began to vomit. The body in the cave freezes when it is cold, and melts when the weather is good. After repeated thaw, rot, and insects Bite, the taste inside is unforgettable for a lifetime.

Then the forensic doctor went into the low cave and pulled out the corpses piece by piece. Soon after, the forensic doctor quit his job.

The shocking thing about this case is that it was done by a group of half-old children.

This case is not like the case of female body hiding in iron barrel in R country. The case of HELLO KITTY hiding body in H city is so well-known, but it is also quite famous in Nancheng.

They continued to listen to Zhao Yuliang.

"The reason why I know the detailed process of this case is that Wang Haobin told me personally. He smiled and said that he stabbed his chest at the time. He didn't expect it to be the same as those who were timid and only dared to stab the stomach. "

When Zhao Liang said this, he continued to smile bitterly: "Ms. Zhang, the woman is also bullying and afraid of hardship. She dare not accept Wang Haobin's homework, dare not ask for his attendance, and do not want him to participate in collective activities and punishment. For Wang Haobin, she has everything. There is no preferential treatment in the class."

"And my best student is like a sheep she threw to the wolf. Wang Haobin extorted my money, took my books and stationery. And Teacher Zhang just let it go. At that time, Sometimes Wang Haobin would bully me, beat me, and give me cigarettes, forcing me to smoke together, or forcing me to do something I don’t like, let me help them look out for the wind, maybe I should be fortunate, at that time he didn’t Get some poison or something. Otherwise, my life may go on a completely different path."

He was silent when he said that, then shook his head, "No, my life may have changed because of him."

Undoubtedly, this period of time with the murderer made him unforgettable.

A teenager not only has to face a perverted teacher every day, but also lives next to a murderer.

He must be careful, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will anger the beast next to him. Every day he lives in fear, he is forced to do some extraordinary bad things, and he will be confused.

Song Wen frowned and asked, "Have you ever told your parents about this? Have you ever thought about transferring?"

Zhao Yuliang gritted his teeth and shook his head: "My parents are very busy at work. My father travels frequently. I don't want these things to be troublesome to them. Every time they see me back with papers, they don't care that I am here. What kind of life do I lead in the class." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. "They only care about my grades. They never ask me whether I am happy or not, nor do they ask who my deskmate is or what happened. When he went to school to hold a parent meeting, he would greet Wang Haobin’s mother enthusiastically, and he would hold Zhang Dongmei’s hand and let her teach me well. Even my father knew that I had learned to smoke, and he felt that I had good grades and loved it. Extensible."

At that time, he was lonely and helpless, even if they asked the last sentence, how did you live in school?He will also tell his parents all about it.

But from beginning to end, no one asked him.

He was afraid, frightened, depressed, and wanted to cry, but everyone gave him praise and rewards he didn't need.

"Later, Wang Haobin sat in front of me during the unified exam of the whole school. He took my papers while the invigilator was not paying attention. Later, the invigilator caught the bag on the spot and brought us to the principal. There. The new principal didn’t know about Wang Haobin's affairs. It was the three new officials who took office. At that time, according to the regulations, Wang Haobin and I had to be expelled, at least we were recorded in the file. Zhang Dongmei brought us back at that time. Tell me, she will explain clearly to the principal."

Hearing this, Song Wen felt that there was still something to do. Sure enough, Zhao Yuliang sighed, "I thought Zhang Dongmei would take into account my good grades and at least talk to the principal. Zhang Dongmei will find me soon and talk to the principal. It made sense, I don’t need to write this thing in the file, but the matter is so big, I also have to take some responsibilities to explain it. So, she asked me to write a check, which means I knew I was wrong. , You shouldn’t cheat with your classmates. It’s ridiculous that only I wrote this check, but Wang Haobin didn’t need to write it at all.

Song Wen frowned: "The handling of this matter seems unfair."

If what Zhao Yuliang told the truth before, then this inspection is not true. Teacher Zhang asked him to write this thing, obviously because he was afraid of offending Wang Haobin in exchange for revenge.You must take out something to explain to the principal.Under the balance, Zhao Yuliang was sacrificed.

"Yes," Zhao Yuliang sighed, "When I was a kid, I didn't see the reason for this. I was so scared that I wrote an examination obediently, and then read it in front of the class. Later. When I was in the third year of junior high school, without Zhang Dongmei, the student named Wang Haobin also dropped out. My life was a little normal."

"Ms. Zhang is using this check to blackmail you now?" Song Wen asked. It stands to reason that he has already gone to society after graduation, especially for people like Zhao Yuliang who have already read a Ph.D. He shouldn't be left behind when he was in junior high school. This check is so troublesome.

Zhao Yuliang explained: "Just a few months ago, Teacher Zhang suddenly found me and asked me about my stay at Beicheng University. I thought her care and blessings were sincere, but then she posted it to me. A photo of a cheating inspection, and he said that he was in short supply." He sighed, "I didn't expect that perverted woman would have kept the inspection for so many years."

"If I'm in another school, I'm not afraid of this thing at all. No one can use my junior high school exam to deny my character, but instead, I want to stay at Beicheng University now. Beicheng University has a style of study. It is rigorous and famous, and has zero tolerance for cheating on exams. This school has always adhered to the rule that once students cheating on exams are found, they must be expelled from school within 24 hours. There are even students who are caught cheating and dare not tell their homes, so He died by jumping off the building, and the rules have not been changed."

Under the light, Zhao Yuliang’s glasses gleamed with a cold light, “Therefore, Beicheng University will not hire a cheating student as a teacher. If this cheating check is handed over to the school leader of Beicheng University , No matter how I explain it, I can’t explain it clearly. So at that time, I chose to use money to eliminate the disaster."

Zhao Yuliang's next description is almost the same as what Meng Tiantian said before. Zhang Dongmei's extortion has intensified. Before, he had extorted 30,000 yuan and completely extorted his scholarship savings.

Three days ago, he came back here from Beicheng to spend the National Day holiday and received a message from Tan Shan, so he thought about it and came here.

"You abused the teacher just now. After the recording, where did you go?" Song Wen asked the question.

"I went out to smoke." Zhao Yuliang paused, "I went to the smoking area to smoke."

"I'm afraid, didn't you go to the smoking area?" Lu Siyu, who had been recording, suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuliang with his eyes.There was still a faint smell of smoke on that person.The cigarette butt he found in the corner of the rooftop was probably left by Zhao Yuliang.

Zhao Yuliang hesitated for a while and admitted: "Well, when Zhang Dongmei fell, I was on the rooftop."

When Song Wen heard this, he looked up at him. The person in front of him was probably the murderer or the first witness in the case.

"However, I didn't push Zhang Dongmei down. The corner I was standing at was facing the other direction. I didn't see what happened on that side. When I heard people exclaiming, I rushed to that side. When I looked down from the corner, I found Zhang Dongmei was already lying down."

Lu Siyu turned the pen in his hand, his eyes flowed, looking at Song Wen, judging from the position of the cigarette butt, the angle was at the corner of the roof, and the side where Teacher Zhang fell was the same angle, both ends There is a building in the middle, blocking the line of sight, it is possible to not see the situation.Based on the physical evidence, he could not judge whether Zhao Yuliang was telling the truth or lies.

"Then you are on the top, you don't see it, you can always hear some sounds?" Song Wen asked, "Or you are the murderer at all and you are lying now?"

In the previous video, it was Zhao Yuliang who put Zhang Dongmei's entire head in the cake, and the video was a few seconds long. At that time, if the time was longer, Zhang Dongmei might even die of suffocation.

The young man in front of him was cold-blooded and calm. Under his gentle manner, there was a bloodthirsty mania suppressed.

His temperament is probably related to his past experience. He still has excellent grades, but his body must be changed because of Wang Haobin.

He can calmly describe the Little Elephant Mountain incident, just as he calmly views Zhang Dongmei's death now.

Zhao Yuliang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I heard something. Before Zhang Dongmei fell from the building, someone had a heated argument with her on the rooftop."

Song Wen asked him: "Who is it?"
