A well-sealed iron box was buried in the small flower bed of the school. There was definitely something weird inside.
Nie Cai's heart moved, and he quickly pushed the camera over. His intuition told him that the answer to the collective suicide of these teenagers must be in it.
The iron box was opened, containing a bloody knife and a piece of paper with blood stains on it.
There is a line of words written on the paper. Each word has a different font and color, forming a sentence. They should have written it together.
"We share blessings and share difficulties. We don't want to be born in the same year and the same day, but we just want to die in the same year and the same day... Kill the beast Teacher Zhang and avenge Xiaobai!"
Seeing this, Nie Cai's heart suddenly trembled!
Most of the time, this "beast" refers to that aspect. Could it be that Teacher Zhang did something unreasonable to Xiaobai...
"Who is Teacher Zhang?"
Shen Lan looked at Principal Wu and asked.
"It's a male teacher from our school named Zhang Le, Xiao Yi. What did he do?"
Principal Wu's expression also changed and he said nervously.
Ever since the mass suicide incident occurred and Xiao Yi was rescued, he had been silent and did not speak. Unexpectedly, today he actually took the initiative to talk about the matter and even named the key figures in it.
"About a month ago, Teacher Zhang tricked Xiaobai into going to his dormitory at noon. He said it was a tutoring topic, but instead he touched Xiaobai and bullied her. Then she was very scared and told Long Long, whom she had the best relationship with. …”
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said.
He didn't say it too specifically, but it was enough. Nie Cai couldn't imagine what happened at that noon.
That day, after Xiaobai came home from school, he sold a bag of rat poison for one yuan at a street stall in the town. It was the kind of black rat poison that was like the peel sold in the school canteen.
At school in the afternoon, Xiaobai prepared to eat rat poison in Teacher Zhang's class and wanted to die in class. However, her actions were seen by Xiaoyi and others. In order to stop her, they each took a few pills.
The six of them were once best friends. In order to stop Xiaobai, they would rather take medicine with her.
At that time, the teacher was giving a lecture on the stage, but no one noticed that the six of them took medicine.
"We said, if you want to eat, we will all eat."
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said with red eyes.
Shen Lan jumped and asked quickly: "What happened next?"
"The **** shady vendors are selling fake medicines. This rat poison is of no use at all."
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said that he wanted to commit suicide but ate fake rat poison... This kind of experience is not something that everyone can understand.
"Is the friendship between friends more important than your own life?" Shen Lan asked Xiao Yi with a soft voice.
"In the past, I would have answered yes without hesitation."
Xiao Yi's voice was very soft and he said: "But, now, I don't know either."
After this incident, Xiaobai's mood finally stabilized a little, and he no longer mentioned suicide, but his mood became a little depressed.
She was originally the monitor of Class 61. She had a youthful and beautiful appearance, a lively and cheerful personality, and her academic performance had always been good. But after that incident, her personality changed.
Xiaobai's character became negative and depressed, and her grades plummeted. Coupled with the fact that people at home did not understand her, her mood became even more negative.
"Why don't you tell your parents?"
Shen Lan frowned and asked.
"Because I'm afraid of losing face and driving away Teacher Zhang. There are still too few people like Principal Wu who make selfless contributions to health. If he leaves, the school will not be able to operate, and all the students in Bancheng Town will be in trouble." question."
Xiao Yi shook his head, biting his lip and said: "Actually, Teacher Zhang has been here for ten years, and even his wife ran away. If he didn't do that kind of thing, he is really a good teacher in our eyes, hard-working and conscientious in teaching. …”
People change. Who knows what the teachers who came to teach with enthusiasm will become after so many years of hardship and pressure
For the sake of the entire school's children, Xiaobai swallowed his anger. Unexpectedly, another incident happened later.
"But the biggest turning point was on January 15th, Teacher Zhang asked Xiaobai to go to the dormitory again."
Looking at the knife in the iron box, Xiao Yi had a strange expression on his face: "Longlong has always liked Xiaobai. Seeing Xiaobai haggard day by day, he also felt uncomfortable. That day he found us with a knife. He said , we want to avenge Xiaobai and kill this beast, Teacher Zhang."
Xiaobai just entered the dormitory. When Zhang Le was not paying attention, the tall and powerful Longlong knocked Zhang Le down with a stick and tied him to the iron bed in the dormitory.
In the end, Longlong did not dare to kill anyone, but cut off his private parts with a knife.
"This should be enough to punish him." Xiao Yi said.
After all, Longlong is just a sixth-grade primary school student, and he is not so courageous yet.
After doing this, Xiaobai and Longlong went to town together, bought a bottle of powdered "Poisonous Rat Strong", and swallowed it with water by the river.
This time, the boss selling rat poison did not cheat them, and what he sold was finally real medicine.
Xiaobai and Longlong held hands and sat by the river, singing songs and quietly waiting for death to come.
Xiao Yi and the four who found them discovered that they were drinking medicine and drank the remaining "Poisonous Rat Strong" without hesitation because the remaining dose of medicine was too small. Fortunately, they were saved by passers-by. .
But Xiaobai and Longlong were not so lucky. They drank too much poison and were already dead when they were sent to the hospital. Two young lives just disappeared.
"You all know what happened next. I thought I would keep this secret in my heart until I die... But now that I have told it, I feel much better." Xiao Yi said with a choked voice and sobbing loudly.
What is surprising is that Teacher Zhang managed to survive and still went to school every day without anyone noticing anything unusual about him.
Because Xiaobai and Longlong died holding hands together, Longlong was even suspected of being the culprit of the suicide. Most of the investigations pointed to him, so he escaped.
After all, no one would have thought that a seemingly honest, middle-aged support teacher would actually commit such a beastly act!
"This beast, I really shouldn't have let him come to our school!"
Principal Wu said through gritted teeth, his gray beard trembling one by one.
"Stop talking about this, let's take a rest."
Seeing that Xiao Yi was losing control of his emotions, Nie Cai quickly turned off the camera and asked Shen Lan to comfort Xiao Yi.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Nie Cai asked: "Principal Wu, where is Teacher Zhang now?"
"It's winter vacation. The school teacher left school today. He just left school this morning!"
Principal Wu said quickly: "It's too late to chase him now. Buses from Bancheng Town run twice a day, at nine o'clock in the morning and twelve noon. He should wait for the bus at the station. However, this bus does not strictly follow the time. All passengers take Leave when full of people!"
Nie Cai glanced at his watch and found that the time was already nine forty-five, and he suddenly became nervous.
Time is life now. If you intercept Zhang Le, you can control him in time. Otherwise, if he runs away, it will be difficult to find him in the vast mountains.
"Shen Lan, you stay here with Xiao Yi, while Principal Wu and I go after him!"
Nie Cai said immediately, put the camera on his back and walked towards the gate.
Xiao Yi's mood is still unstable now. Leaving Shen Lan to watch him can at least stop him from doing stupid things.
"Principal Wu, get in the car!"
Nie Cai opened the car door and asked Principal Wu to come with him.
Perhaps the sound of opening the school gate was too loud, and the big men who had been squatting at the school gate discovered Nie Cai.
"who!"
"Stop them quickly!"
The group of people rushed over shouting and stopped Nie Cai's car.
"Get out of my way!"
Nie Cai shouted angrily, blaring his trumpet.
"Who are you and what is the purpose of coming to school!"
But the big men refused to give in, and instead surrounded Nie Cai's Jetta sedan, preventing Nie Cai from leaving.
"These people are local gangsters, hired by the town government, and they stopped us at this time. Damn it!"
Principal Wu said angrily, extremely anxious.
Time is already very tight now. There is still a long way from school to the station. If we delay any longer, we will not be able to catch up.
The route the bus travels is not fixed. It can go wherever there are many people in the village, and there is no way to chase it. How can we stop Zhang Le then
"Ignore them, let's go!"
Nie Cai gritted his teeth and prepared to rush out.
But at this moment, as Nie Cai stepped on the accelerator and left, a big man actually picked up a dagger and stabbed the tire hard.
Poof…
The Jetta sedan's tires immediately flattened and it could no longer be driven.
"These *** people really know how to pick the right moment!" Nie Cai suddenly cursed.
He was about to chase Zhang Le, but unexpectedly, these people punctured his tires at this time.
Even if there is a spare tire in the trunk, by the time it is put on, the person will have already disappeared!
"It's over, I'll definitely let him run away this time!"
Principal Wu was startled and said dejectedly.
"Wait... I'm afraid things aren't that bad after all!"
Nie Cai suddenly felt something in his heart and took out the note.
He quickly walked out of the car and grabbed the collar of a big man who looked like a little boss.
Nie Cai flashed Mayor Du's note in front of his eyes and shouted: "I am Mayor Du's man. Hurry up and ask your people to stop the bus at the station. Don't let the bus leave Bancheng Town!"
There are gangsters hired by the town government everywhere in Bancheng Town, so there should be people from them at the station to monitor the entry and exit of reporters.
"If you dare to touch me, you are seeking death..."
The big man was grabbed by the collar by Nie Cai and was about to curse, but at this moment he saw Nie Cai's note.
"Stop the bus. A key person is preparing to escape. This is Mayor Du's order. Did you hear it?"
The big man was startled, and was finally frightened by Mayor Du's "prestige". He obediently took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Hey, third brother, there's something going on at the station... That's right, Mayor Du. Let's stop the bus..."
After a moment, he put down the phone with a strange expression on his face: "Our brothers said that there were many people during the Spring Festival. The shuttle left two minutes ago, and now they are probably all in the ravine."
Upon hearing this, Nie Cai and Principal Wu's expressions suddenly darkened.
Sure enough, it’s still too late!
