Eleven years ago, in Nancheng No. 1 Middle School, in the classroom of Class Two and Three.

It was the final exam in summer, the weather in Nancheng was very hot, and Zhi Zhi kept shouting from the trees outside, as if he was never tired.

The windows were open in the classroom, the blue curtains were blown up by the wind from time to time, and the bright sunlight slanted in and shone 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 table buckets were all facing forward. All the student test numbers and seats were randomly selected by the machine, and were pasted on the corner of the table in the order of the test numbers.

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

Today's test is the first subject - mathematics. Zhao Yuliang has written the entire test paper and is checking it. He was in a good mood. Today he was assigned to the classroom exam of his class, which made him feel a little relaxed.

With forty minutes left in the exam, he answered all the questions and was confident that he would get a high score.

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

At this time, Zhao Yuliang finally saw who was sitting in front of him. His expression changed suddenly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. That person is his roommate and the person he is most afraid of...

When he entered the exam room before, he didn't have time to look around, he didn't pay attention to who was sitting in front of him, and he didn't expect that the two of them happened to be in the exam room of this class, and they were sitting so close.

Zhao Yuliang looked down at the questions on the paper and didn't even bother to check. Just when he was hesitating whether he was going to hand in the paper early, the boy turned his head again, and stretched out his hand, and with a very fast speed, took away the paper in front of him.

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

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

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

tell the teacher?

After the exam, what awaits him is not just being bullied by that person. In any case, he couldn't do this kind of death-seeking thing by himself.

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

Time passed by second by second, he kept looking at the watch nervously, helpless, scared, scared, the weather was already hot, sweat was on his forehead, wiped off a layer, and more came out immediately.

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

How will it be dealt with then?

Is it cheating, or is it an accomplice to cheating?

His heart was beating wildly, and a heart was about to pop out of his chest. He was so nervous that he wanted to go to the toilet. , sitting there, clenching his legs.

Zhao Yuliang hoped that time would stop, he lowered his head, spread a table with the scrap paper on the table, and wrote scribbles on it. He kept praying that the teacher would not find out about this matter. The paper was returned to him, but that person didn't know what it meant to take it as soon as it was ready.

That moment still came, the teacher walked to his side, bowed his head, and asked him indifferently, "Where's your paper?"

For him as a teenager, the outcome was like the end of the world.

At that moment, it was as if a knife had been inserted into his heart, draining all his blood, his face was ashen, and his limbs were cold. He looked like a murderer who had just been sentenced to death.

It was this sentence that became Zhao Yuliang's nightmare in his life. After going through countless exams, he couldn't wash this exam out of his mind.

Even though he is an adult now, he still dreams about this exam from time to time in his dreams. In the dream, he tried his best to think of various methods until he was awakened.

Lying on the bed, sweating profusely, staring at the ceiling, he seemed to have died all over again. He understood that it was the shadow that would accompany him all 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 was the most educated among the students. He was about to graduate with a Ph.D. and had the hope of staying at Beicheng University to teach.

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

When Zhao Yuliang sat down opposite, Song Wen went straight to the point: "A few of them have recruited, you can also tell me why you were blackmailed by Teacher Zhang for something?"

Song Wen directly mentioned the blackmail, and Zhao Yuliang didn't have any doubts. He calmly raised his glasses and said, "Mr. Zhang's blackmailing me is a long story."

Song Wen frowned and said, "How long?"

Zhao Yuliang said: "This matter, there are some previous circumstances, we have to talk about it 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, and I was able to stay in front of almost every exam. Three, but people like me don't get the praise and preferential treatment they deserve from Zhang Dongmei."

"Because I was just starting school in the first year of junior high, I was eager for the teacher to admit my excellence... So once, I did a very stupid thing."

"Once, Zhang Dongmei taught an extra-curricular topic, and her approach was wrong. At that time, I quickly saw this and raised my finger. During class, Zhang Dongmei praised me, and after class, she euphemistically She told me that she could tell her after class in the future. But then, I found that she hated me very much from then on."

Now Zhao Yuliang, of course, understands where he is wrong, but at that time, he was still a teenager in the first year of junior high school. He was innocent, innocent, and honest. He felt that what was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong.

If his life can be restarted, or he can travel back in time, he must warn himself not to do such a thing. It's just a small thing, a few words, but it changed his three years of junior high school and changed his life. .

Lu Siyu stopped the pen to record and took care of 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 despite Zhao Yuliang's excellent grades, she did not get the treatment that a good student deserves.

"How did she hate me... For example, one year when the mid-term exam was approaching, my grandmother died suddenly. When I got the news, I went to ask for leave to go back to my hometown. Zhang Dongmei frowned and told me at that time. , your grandmother is dead, and you won't be able to see it when you go back anyway. If you don't take the test, you will miss one grade, which will affect the average score of the class. If you are not good at speaking, I will go and tell your parents. That's it, Zhang Dongmei called my mother, and my mother went back alone first, and I finished the exam crying, and then went back to my hometown with my father. Since then, Zhang Dongmei and I will not deal with each other even more."

He was brought up by his grandmother, who was the closest elder in his family. Grandma was the best person to him, but he didn't even see her grandmother's remains. When he returned to his hometown, there were only black-and-white photos of his grandmother. There is an urn waiting for him.

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuliang's eyes flickered behind his glasses, as if there was water in his eyes, but his expression was icy cold, and the tears did not flow.

"In the first half of the first semester, a fourteen-year-old boy named Wang Haobin was transferred to our class. This student is a problem student, and each class teacher pushed this student out and did not want him to enter their own classrooms. In the class, the old principal couldn't do anything about this matter. For her career, Zhang Dongmei accepted him, helped the old principal solve the problem, and sold the principal's favor, because she won the school labor model of the year. "

Having said that, Zhao Yuliang adjusted his glasses and gave a wry smile, "However, Zhang Dongmei didn't expect that the old principal was promoted after that semester and went to the high school, and the junior high school has a new leader, then The new principal doesn't take the old leader's love, that student dragged our class down, Zhang Dongmei did a lot of injustice, threw up a rock and smashed her own foot."

"Zhang Xuemei is probably out of disgust for me, or because she thinks that a good student like me can influence him, look at him, and put the problem student next to me and let him be my deskmate. Classmate, there is a murder case on his body. That is, the Xiaoxiangshan incident in Nancheng, have you heard about it?" Having said that, Zhao Yuliang raised his head and looked at the police officers in front of him.

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

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

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

"Wang Haobin used to hang out outside the school, intercepting and stealing money with a group of delinquent teenagers. Those children were all famous scoundrels in the city. There were a dozen of them. They used the money from the robbery to rent a house outside the school. The house became their den. In the house, there was a box under the bed, which contained the money they robbed. Later, a kid named Li joined them. Just a few days after the surnamed Li arrived, the children found that the money in the box under the bed was less."

"Only a part of the money is missing, it is undoubtedly a thief, they asked one by one, and finally the suspect fell on the child who just joined the team. They are all half-sized boys who are not afraid of the sky. The child surnamed Li was tied up and interrogated. The child refused to admit it, so they beat him with sticks. The child did not recognize him. , a group of children, stabbed the child surnamed Li to death."

When Zhao Yuliang said this, he held up his glasses, his expression was a little indifferent, as if he was not talking about a case of human death, but a commonplace event: "After stabbing someone to death, the children will chop up the body as soon as they discuss it. After driving, they put the body in several white snakeskin bags, drove the car to the foot of Xiaoxiang Mountain, each person took a bag, and they climbed for a long time until they reached the top of Kuaishan. Then, they put the The meat was poured into a low cave, and it was agreed that no one would tell anyone else."

"At that time, it was just about the New Year's Eve, the mountains were very cold, and no one went up the mountain. A month later, someone accidentally discovered the body in the cave, and the body was already decomposed. The police searched for a while before confirming the body and publishing the results. That day was the first day of the new year, and the mother surnamed Li Zixie printed a photo of her child's tragic corpse and distributed it at the city gate, crying and begging the murderer to be severely punished."

"Later, the group of children was found, but because none of the perpetrators were fourteen years old at the time, and more than ten people committed the crime together, it was impossible to confirm the main culprit and the accomplice. They went through a period of interrogation and went to the juvenile detention center. In the end, one year after the incident, he was still sent back to a regular school. And the man named Wang Haobin was assigned to No. 1 Middle School, assigned to our class, and became my tablemate."

Song Wen shook his head helplessly. Juvenile delinquents under the age of fourteen have always been a difficult point for the law to deal with. This case sounds simple, but it is very difficult to actually define the culpability, so the sentence is relatively light. 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 recording this paragraph briefly, frowned and bit his pen cap.

Cheng Mo's eyes deepened. He was a witness to this case. At that time, before he was promoted to captain, he accompanied the forensic doctor to the scene. Before entering the narrow cave, the experienced forensic doctor began to vomit. The corpse in the cave will freeze when it is cold, and it will melt when the weather is good. It has experienced repeated thawing, decay, insects Bite, the taste inside is unforgettable for a lifetime.

Then the forensic doctor drilled 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 entirely done by a group of half-old children.

This case is not as well-known as the iron barrel female corpse case in R country and the HELLO KITTY corpse case in H city, 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 a knife in the chest at the time, but I didn't expect that the sentence would be the same as those who were timid and only dared to stab in the stomach. "

When Zhao Liang said this, he continued to smile bitterly: "Mr. Zhang, that woman is also a bully and fearful of hardship. She does not dare to accept Wang Haobin's homework, dare not ask him for attendance, and does not want him to participate in group activities and punishments. For Wang Haobin, she has all the There is no preferential treatment in the class."

"And my best student is like a sheep that she threw to the wolf. Wang Haobin extorted my money and took my books and stationery. And Teacher Zhang just let it go. At that time, Wang Haobin sometimes bullies me, beats me, gives me cigarettes, forces me to smoke together, or forces me to do things that I don't like, and asks me to help them look out for the wind. Maybe I should be glad that he didn't. Get some poison or something. Otherwise, my life might take a completely different path."

When he said this, he was suddenly silent, and then shook his head, "No, my life may have been changed because of him."

Undoubtedly, this time at the same table with the murderer made him unforgettable.

A teenage boy not only faces a perverted teacher every day, but also lives by the side of a murderer.

He has to be careful, if he doesn't pay attention, he will anger the beast next to him. He spends his days in fear, and he is forced to do some outrageous bad things, and he will also be confused.

Song Wen frowned and asked, "Didn't you tell your parents about this? Didn't you think about transferring?"

Zhao Yuliang gritted his teeth and shook his head: "My parents are very busy with work, and my father travels a lot on business, I don't want these things to be a problem for them, and every time they see me returning with the papers, they don't care that I am there. What kind of life do you live in the class?" He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "They only care about my grades, they never ask me if I am happy or not, and they never ask who my deskmate is and what happened. When he went to the school to hold a parent-teacher meeting, he would greet Wang Haobin's mother warmly, 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 my grades were good and affectionate. Can be forgiven."

At that time, he was lonely and helpless, even if they asked, how was your life in school? He will also tell his parents all about it.

But from the beginning to the end, no one asked him.

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

"Later, when Wang Haobin was sitting in front of me during the school's unified examination, he took my papers while the invigilator was not paying attention. Later, the invigilator caught the incident and took us to the principal. There. The new principal didn't know about Wang Haobin. It was the three fires when the new official took office. At that time, according to the regulations, Wang Haobin and I were both fired, at least for demerit records. Zhang Dongmei brought us back at that time, Tell me she'll explain it to the principal."

Hearing this, Song Wen felt that there was still more to the matter, and sure enough, Zhao Yuliang sighed, "I thought that Zhang Dongmei would take into account my good grades and at least have a good talk with the principal. Zhang Dongmei would come to me soon and say that the principal was there. It's been made clear, you don't have to write this matter in the file, but it's such a big thing, I have to take some responsibility to explain it. So she asked me to write a check, which means that I've made a mistake and admitted my mistake. You shouldn't cheat with your classmates. The funny thing is that I was the only one who wrote this inspection, but Wang Haobin didn't have to write it at all."

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

If Zhao Yuliang said the truth before, then this inspection is not a fact. Teacher Zhang asked him to write this thing, obviously for fear of offending Wang Haobin in exchange for revenge. have to take out something and explain it to the principal. On balance, Zhao Yuliang was sacrificed.

"Yeah," Zhao Yuliang sighed, "When I was a child, I didn't see the reason for this. I was scared to death at that time, so I obediently wrote an examination, and then recited it in front of the whole class. Later , I read the third year of junior high, and Zhang Dongmei didn't catch up, and the student named Wang Haobin also dropped out. My life is a little bit normal. "

"Mr. Zhang is using this test to blackmail you now?" Song Wen asked. It stands to reason that after graduation, he has already entered the society, especially someone like Zhao Yuliang who has already read a doctorate. He should not be left for the junior high school. This check is so annoying.

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 concern and blessing were sincere at first, but later, she posted it to me. A photo of a cheating inspection, and he said that he was out of money." He sighed, "I didn't expect that perverted woman to keep that inspection for so many years."

"If I were in another school, I wouldn't be afraid of this thing at all. No one could deny my character with a test from my junior high school, but unfortunately, I want to stay at Beicheng University now. Beicheng University is based on the style of study. It is famous for its rigorousness and zero tolerance for cheating in exams. This school has always adhered to the rule that once a student is found cheating in exams, they must be expelled from the school within 24 hours. Even students who were caught cheating did not dare to tell their families, so The rules have not been changed for jumping off a building and dying.”

Under the light, Zhao Yuliang's glasses flashed a little coldly, "So, Beicheng University will not hire a student who has cheated as a teacher, if this cheating check is handed over to the school leaders of Beicheng University , No matter how I explain it, I can't tell. So at that time, I chose to use money to eliminate disasters."

Zhao Yuliang's next description was similar to what Meng Tiantian said before. Zhang Dongmei intensified his extortion. He extorted 30,000 yuan in succession before, and extorted the savings he had saved with the scholarship.

Three days ago, when he returned from Beicheng for the National Day holiday, he received a message from Tan Shan, so he came here after thinking twice.

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

"I went out to smoke." Zhao Yuliang paused and said, "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 all the time, 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 the man's body. The cigarette butt he found in the corner of the rooftop was probably left by Zhao Yuliang.

Zhao Yuliang hesitated for a moment, then admitted: "Okay, I was on the rooftop when Zhang Dongmei fell."

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

"However, it wasn't me who pushed Zhang Dongmei down. The corner where I was standing was facing the other direction, and I didn't see what happened on that side. When I heard people exclaiming, I rushed to that side. When I looked down in the corner, I found that Zhang Dongmei was already lying underneath."

Lu Siyu turned the pen in his hand, his eyes wandered, and he looked at Song Wen. Judging from the position of the cigarette butt, the angle was at the corner of the rooftop, and the side where Mr. Zhang was falling was the same angle, and the two ends were on the same side. 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 what Zhao Yuliang was telling was the truth or a lie.

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

In the previous video, it was Zhao Yuliang who pressed Zhang Dongmei's head into the cake, and the video was several seconds long. At that time, if the time was longer, Zhang Dongmei might even suffocate to death.

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

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

He can describe the Xiaoxiangshan incident calmly, just like he is now, calmly looking at Zhang Dongmei's death.

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

Song Wen asked him, "Who is it?"
