Chapter 357: The elephant in the room

Views:

When an elephant stands in a room, the people in the room ignore it. This is a proverb referring to the phenomenon of collective silence about something obvious. Psychologically, it's the kind of thing that we know, but we clearly know we shouldn't know.

Living in a class, all the students in the class must know that the stuttering classmate was bullied, but the students all pretended that they didn't know about it. Perhaps because of fear, perhaps because of disdain, perhaps because of other things, everyone remained silent.

Perhaps at the beginning of this kind of thing, some students would come to tell the class teacher, but the inaction of the class teacher indirectly conveyed a message, that is, the students do not need to bear the consequences for doing such a thing.

The evil cage was opened, and the beast was released, and when the evil little mouse finally grew into an elephant, everyone was helpless, and these people could only pretend that there was no elephant in the house.

And all the trampling of this elephant is on the body of this stuttering classmate.

But it's already midnight, and it's already two o'clock in the morning. If I want to find out something about this stuttering classmate, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Everyone sighed for a long time, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Gu Chen said, "Now we know that Li Jun kicked the pregnant woman off the bus, and Liang Zhengyu bullied his classmates. Isn't this the connection between the two? I think the murderer should be a person who hates everything. Faced with these evils, the murderer couldn't bear his inner impulse to kill these people."

I nodded and said, "It makes sense, but the murderer is targeting children."

The principal said at this time: "Is there such a possibility that this child is easier to attack, but if it is an adult, he is not easy to attack? It means that he may not have the ability to subdue an adult?"

I pondered for a moment, and said: "This is an explanation, but it's not particularly accurate. I think he seems to be the same as us. Facing school bullying and children who can't deal with it in the end, the murderer did something. It belongs to one's own judgment, and treats the person in the same way as the person."

Gu Chen said: "If there is no way in this world to punish such young children, and there is no way to make them realize the evil they have done, I think, maybe such a murderer is more real. Repay the child in his own way. To rule the body, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.”

Gu Chen's thinking is becoming more and more extreme now, but facing such helpless things, perhaps many people need someone to stand up alone. We know that beating is wrong, but when facing someone who spits and disturbs others but does not know how to repent, we will say that the beating is good. We know that it is wrong to pick people's clothes on the street, but when we face the mistress, we say yes Well done, of course, the most scumbag in this matter is actually the man.

But we need a person or a rule to stand up and maintain it.

But in the face of this demand, it is difficult to define where the bottom line is.

I helplessly said to Gu Chen: "Don't be too extreme. Although this world is very dark, this is human nature. It was like this hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago, and it will be like this hundreds of years later. Regulations are always evolving, and we are always improving little by little."

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door.

A couple in their thirties walked in. Seeing us, the man asked, "Who are you?"

The principal said, "I am the vice principal of Taishan Primary School, and this one is Liang Zhengkun's class teacher."

The woman said directly, "What's wrong? What's wrong with my child?"

Liang Zhengkun heard his mother's voice, ran out of the house, and rushed into his mother's arms.

I shook my head and said, "At about eight o'clock this evening, the body of your son Liang Zhengyu was found. The body is now in the morgue. We came to protect Liang Zhengkun and conduct some investigations. Now we know the details , you go to the morgue to identify the corpse..."

Before I could finish my words, the woman couldn't stand still, and suddenly fell backwards. It was her husband who quickly supported her. Then, the woman cried out heart-piercingly. Although Liang Zhengkun was only nine years old, he naturally understood what happened after hearing this conversation. He hugged his mother's thigh and started crying too, but he didn't make a sound.

One is howling with great sorrow, and the other is sobbing with drizzle, but the emotions they contain are the same.

The man was trembling all over. He tried hard to restrain the sadness in his heart. If he couldn't support it, the family would collapse.

It can be seen that this couple loves their children very much. They went to work in Dongxing City, working from dawn to dusk, not just to provide a good environment for their children, and to provide them with better resources in the future so that they can go to school. Primary school, middle school, college.

But they don't have time to educate their children, they don't have time to discipline their children, they leave their children at home alone and discipline themselves. Is it the parents' fault? They've done everything they can. Perhaps poverty is an original sin, but not every child born in such a family will become like Liang Zhengyu.

The most typical one is Liang Zhengkun, who didn't become like his elder brother. Many children from poor families headed home early and became kind and upright people.

And when we understand this, we can know that children are not innocent. In the era of highly developed Internet, they know as much knowledge as their parents, and they don't necessarily have less knowledge than their parents when they see the market. A child is a living person, not just a piece of white paper. They already know what is good and evil in their hearts. They know it's not right, but they just do it.

This is evil, not a so-called "excessive" joke. Because when doing these things, they know very well what kind of consequences this matter will have on others. Young age is not a shield to avoid punishment, they already know right and wrong.

But no matter what kind of person their child is, facing this kind of thing, it is inevitable for parents to be sad.

And when the stuttering classmate's parents knew about their child's wounds, they probably cried no less than Liang Zhengyu's mother.

This is human nature.

I said to the man: "Things have already happened, we have learned why your child was killed, but I don't think you can listen to me in your current state, we will try our best to investigate the murderer, no matter what happened What, using lynching to kill people is all evil."

The man blushed and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, I will tell you, if you find the murderer, you tell me, I will be the first to chop him up! My child is only eleven years old, he Still a kid who doesn't know anything."

It's ridiculous that everyone seems to think that children don't understand anything. But we all grew up as children. Think about it when we were young, did we really not understand anything? A one or two-year-old child can understand, but an eleven-year-old child can be so innocent

I nodded and said, "We will catch the murderer as soon as possible. When this case is over, we will show you a detailed file for you to read. Then you will know what happened."

I looked at Liang Zhengkun and said, "Liang Zhengkun, study hard in the future, just be yourself."

Liang Zhengkun was still crying, he couldn't pay attention to what I said.

I continued: "Okay, that's it. Let's leave first. It's best for you and your wife to leave one person at home to take Liang Zhengkun to and from school. Although Liang Zhengkun should be fine, the public security in this town is not good right now."

The man nodded.

After walking out of the house, we stood next to our cars and looked at our watches. It was already half past two.

I said to the principal: "I don't care how your school arranges the matter of the class teacher Liang Zhengyu. I don't have the time to worry about it now. Remember to tell me the information of your students as soon as possible, and remember what I said next. If you still Any students like Liang Zhengyu must be highlighted, the murderer should target these people, you know?"

The headmaster nodded, and said with an ugly face: "Of course I know the importance of this matter. If a few more people die, I don't think I need to continue doing it. I'm also under a lot of pressure. Don't worry, we will continue to work together today." When I get back, I will notify one by one, such a big matter, why sleep?"

"Well, you can make arrangements." I said as I got into the car.

Gu Chen and I went back to rest by car.

Gu Chen asked: "Do you think there will be other dead? After this incident, the school will definitely strengthen security. This time, it is estimated that no parents will come to pick them up, so the school will not release them."

I shook my head and said: "This is really not necessarily true. You know that it is not uncommon for Liang Zhengkun and Liang Zhengyu's parents to be like this. Even if you can't take people away from the school directly, as long as you want to arrest them, there is always a way. , and not all people will pay attention to this matter. People, when things don't really happen to their heads, they will never stretch the string the most tightly!"

"Do you think the murderer is killing harm for the people?"

Gu Chen didn't look at me, but suddenly asked me a very sharp question. As for this question, in fact, every time the case draws to a close, I ask myself, and I have no way to answer it. But I know Team Leader Shao's method, although I can't do it yet. The method is to never think about this kind of thing. This is a paradox. The deeper you think, the more you will be involved in this problem and cannot extricate yourself.

"Don't think about it." I said, "Otherwise, it will always be me who suffers."

At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone rang.
