Gu Xizhou felt even more strange when he went to renew the fee.
According to Jia Zhizhi, Tong Jia was his classmate. Tong Jia was only thirteen years old when he died, which is the age when he just graduated from elementary school and entered junior high school. It should be done by her parents, but Gu Zhizhi was written in the name of the payer on the renewal bill. Obviously, it is not the first time that Gu Zhizhi has helped Tong Jia renew the tomb.
After seeing Tong Jia, his curiosity was not satisfied. Instead, he became more curious. After paying the fee, he took the payment slip back. As soon as Gu Xizhou entered the door, he curiously asked Gu Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, what the hell is that Tong Jia? what's the matter?"
"How could you make her pay her fees, I thought it was your college classmate..." Gu Xizhou was very curious, as if his heart had been scratched by a cat.
Gu Zhizhi looked at his anxious and irritable appearance, and after thinking for a moment, he picked up a pen and wrote: Anyway, I want you to help me worship her in the future, and I can tell you.
Gu Xizhou hummed.
Gu Zhizhi: Have you seen the tombstone? She is my junior high school classmate. She and I are at the same table. When I was in junior high school, I was very skinny. She happened to be the girl with the best grades in the class. She was arranged by the teacher to be next to each other. sit with me. She has a really good personality, rarely gets angry, and often reminds me to remember my homework and bring what I should bring...
You know little boys who like to make fun of people. That day was also Friday, and some of us boys threw a caterpillar in her stationery box. After she opened the stationery, she started to cry... Then on Monday, she didn't come At school, we asked the teacher, and the teacher told us that she had changed schools.
Gu Xizhou watched Gu Zhizhi write, but considering the current situation, it was obvious that the girl did not change schools, but died.
He saw the pen and then wrote: At that time, because of this, all of us boys felt that we were too much. It may be because of us that Tong Jia just changed schools... Actually not, she did not change schools, she committed suicide by jumping off the building at home of…
Gu Xizhou saw those words, his heart sank for no reason, and asked, "How did you know that? Why did she commit suicide?"
Gu Zhizhi's pen stayed in the air for a long time and did not move. After a long time, Gu Zhizhi continued to write: At that time, the case belonged to Jinluo Police Station. At that time, Uncle Wang was at the grassroots level of Jinluo Police Station. He and my father When I was drunk, when I mentioned this matter, I realized that Tong Jia had not changed schools but died. The reason given by her mother was...
Because of being teased by school students, Tong Jia couldn't think of suicide.
Gu Xizhou said solemnly, "You blame yourself for this, so you go to see her every year?"
Gu Zhizhi wrote: At that time, when I was young, I once thought that we were playing tricks on Tong Jia, so she would jump off the building and commit suicide. At first, it was because of self-blame, and then...
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows: "?"
Gu Zhizhi: With the increase of age and experience, I realized one thing—Tong Jia herself has a cheerful personality. That day, some of our boys teased her, and she was indeed made to cry by us, but before school that day, she and usual Remind me of my homework and talk to me, I don't think she could have committed suicide because of the caterpillar in the stationery box.
At that time, did her parents come to the school to find some of our children who were playing tricks on Tong Jia? If she really committed suicide because of us, do you think that as parents, they would not come to find our 'culprits'
"Tong Jia's fall from the building was just an accident, but her parents lied to avoid being told that they were not good at taking care of her... She committed suicide because she was bullied by the school students. If I go, you must have been under a lot of pressure at that time, right? "Gu Xizhou immediately wanted to understand, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Gu Zhizhi. At that time, such a little kid must not be as calm and rational as now, and can analyze various possibilities from it.
Gu Zhizhi: There must be psychological pressure, but I am not sure whether Tong Jia died unexpectedly.
"What?" Gu Xizhou asked.
Gu Zhizhi: After she died, I knew the location of her tomb from Uncle Wang. I went back to worship her every year since junior high school. After three years of her death, no one paid for her. Since then, I have been paying for her. I have never met her relatives at the time of worship every year. The phone numbers registered by her relatives at the cemetery have long been changed.
"Her parents don't see her at all?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel gloomy, thinking in a bad direction, Tong Jia accidentally fell from the building, her parents shied the responsibility and told the police that she committed suicide by jumping off the building because she was bullied by school students. I understand, but it's really weird that the child dies, doesn't visit, doesn't pay.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Do you need me to check it out for you?"
Gu Zhizhi: I can't find it... It's been more than ten years. Do you think this is a TV series? Can you find the truth? … Maybe she really committed suicide because of us? In fact, I don't want to know anymore, but I can't leave here. In the future, I can only ask you to visit her every year instead of me and give her a bunch of flowers.
Gu Xizhou replied, "Okay."
This time, Gu Xizhou didn't ask any more questions, but he was very sure. Gu Zhizhi said that he didn't blame himself, but his heart was not like that, and he stopped talking.
Gu Xizhou bluntly changed the subject, walked to the kennel, took out the confused-looking son from the kennel, and hurriedly tied the dog with a leash.
Dog Son: "Wang Wang Wang?"
Gu Xizhou rubbed the dog's head, directly led the dog on the leash, dragged the dog to the empty living room and said, "The dog wants to go out, I'll go out for a walk."
Hmm... well, no answer.
Gu Xizhou silently dragged the dog son who was trying his best to drill into his kennel.
"Wang!"
Gu Xizhou glared at the dog son who didn't give face, and saw a trace of confusion in the dog son's eyes.
He dragged his dog son out for a walk, and ordered a takeaway on the way home.
After dinner, Gu Xizhou went back to his room early, took out his mobile phone and searched for relevant news based on what Gu Zhizhi said and the year and month of Tong Jia's death. After searching for a long time, he finally found a relevant news content. According to The description and age and time in it should be said that Tong Jia fell from the building.
Looking at the content of the press release, Gu Xizhou's heart sank.
Title: Girl commits suicide by jumping off a building, only because of school violence.
Just looking at the title, Gu Xizhou knew that the content of the news would not be what he thought. Although the full text did not name names, Gu Xizhou thought that what he said should be about Tong Jia. The content directly blamed Tong Jia's fall from the building to the school boys' tricks.
Just imagine how Gu Zhizhi, a child the same size as Tong Jia, would have felt when he saw this news content in the Ningqing newspaper? Gu Zhizhi goes to worship Tong Jia every year, and there must be guilt and self-blame in it, but with the passage of time, that kind of self-blame gradually diminishes, and Gu Zhizhi can see the essence through appearance.
It was also after getting older that Gu Zhizhi began to think about why Tong Jia's family did not condemn them, and why Tong Jia's family never came to worship her.
Gu Zhizhi initially blamed himself because he felt that his tricks had killed Tong Jia, so now... Gu Zhizhi still blames himself, blamed himself for teasing her at that time.
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but make up his mind, but he quickly stopped his jumping thoughts. When he went to the police station tomorrow to ask Wang Ao about the situation at the time, Gu Zhizhi definitely didn't want to talk to him.
The next day, Gu Xizhou drove straight to the police station and was called to the police station for a meeting.
The old leader was leaving, and Wang Ao was promoted. During this period, Gu Xizhou saw a man of about forty-five or six years old quietly following the old director. There was a long and narrow scar on his left eye, and his skin showed a healthy appearance. Bronze, obviously not getting too much sun, the skin is very rough, and the whole person looks very serious.
Xiang Yuan, who was sitting next to Gu Xizhou, poked Gu Xizhou's waist, and whispered, "The old miraculous horse and our king bureau will definitely get along, both of them have serious faces, as if others owe him money. Same."
Gu Xizhou glanced at him, "When you talk about leaders behind your back, be careful to be heard by them."
Xiang Yuan whispered: "I'm telling you, what's the matter? Do you still want to sue?"
"Well, when I was chatting with Uncle Wang that day, I might have said it casually," Gu Xizhou laughed, "What? Panic?"
Xiang Yuan glared at him, "I believed your nonsense."
Gu Xizhou looked at him, shook his head, and reminded him, "Okay, our new deputy bureau is about to speak."
Ma Qi's brief speech was the same as himself, stiff, simple and direct. He didn't say much. After a few words, they broke up. Gu Xizhou did not leave Xiang Yuan directly, but followed Ma Qi and Wang Ao. behind the person.
Wang Ao seemed to have a good sense of Ma Qi, and kept telling Ma Qi what to do in the position of Ma Qi's deputy, Gu Xizhou followed.
Ma Qi looked at Gu Xizhou, a little stunned, "You... You are familiar, have I met you?"
Gu Xizhou shook his head slightly.
"Oh, pony, this is Gu Xizhou, the captain of the criminal police team. You can call him if you have any business, as long as they don't investigate the case." Wang Ao introduced to Ma Qi, " We will all be colleagues from now on, so we should know each other.”
Hearing Wang Ao's words, Ma Qi gave Gu Xizhou a meaningful look, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, you can call me Brother Ma."
Gu Xizhou reached out and shook hands with Ma Qi under Wang Ao's gaze, and said, "Hello Ma!"
"Wang Ju, I have something I want to ask you in private." Gu Xizhou said.
Wang Ao nodded, "Okay, Xiaoma, go to the office by yourself, Xizhou, follow me to the office."
Before saying goodbye to Ma Qi, Gu Xizhou and Ma Qi looked at each other. Obviously, the two of them reached a tacit understanding. Gu Xizhou was sure that Ma Qi was the Ma Qi he met in the first world, because Ma Qi heard his surname when he heard his surname. , obviously the eyelids jumped.
Gu Xizhou followed Wang Ao to the office, Wang Ao sat on the sofa, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Usually you see me like a mouse sees a cat, tell me, what do you want to ask me, kid?"
Gu Xizhou looked at Wang Ao and asked without hesitation, "I want to ask about Tong Jia."
"Uncle Wang, how much do you remember?"
Hearing this, Wang Ao hesitated for a long time, finally sighed, and said: "Xizhou, don't blame yourself, haven't we discussed it? Her parents' attitude is very strange, her death is very likely to be the same age as you, or even a few of you. It doesn't matter at all."
Gu Xizhou: "Because it doesn't matter, I want to know the cause of her death even more."
