Chapter 45: Cheating
Chi Xia followed the other person's figure and left the scene of the fall. Luo Xun's eyes moved slightly, and he followed Chi Xia's footsteps.
The reason was that after Chi Xia observed Sun Xiangbo, he turned his attention to the several faculty members who were surrounding him.
Everyone around had a look of pity and sympathy on their faces, but there was one person who looked at Sun Xiangbo with mockery and disgust.
She was a woman, probably in her forties, about the same age as Liang Ruqing.
When Sun Xiangbo raised his finger to the sky and swore, the woman seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She snorted coldly and turned away. Chi Xia quickened her pace and chased after her.
"This teacher." Chi Xia called her.
The other party stopped and turned around, looking at Chi Xia and pointing at himself: "Are you calling me?"
"Yes." Chi Xia walked up and smiled: "I am the police officer in charge of this case. I want to talk to you for a few words."
The other party was a little surprised and smiled insincerely: "Ah, police comrade, um...what do you want to talk to me about? I don't have to say..."
"Don't be nervous." Chi Xia tried to be approachable: "By the way, what's your name?"
The teacher was a little reluctant to talk to Chi Xia, but was too embarrassed to leave, so he could only reluctantly say: "My last name is Fu."
"Teacher Fu." Chi Xia glanced at the surrounding environment. The corner of the teaching building was relatively quiet. "Can we chat?"
Teacher Fu was a little embarrassed. She glanced at her phone and said, "I'm really sorry, the school notified us to hold a meeting, so..."
Chi Xia pursed her lips.
At this moment, Luo Xun came over and said, "Teacher, don't worry. This meeting was also arranged by us. I have already informed my colleagues. You don't have to worry."
Teacher Fu frowned unhappily. She really didn't want to get involved in such matters.
Seeing Luo Xun coming out, Chi Xia smiled at him and immediately climbed up the pole: "Yes , Mr. Fu, let's chat."
"But I don't have anything to talk about." Teacher Fu forced a smile: "I really don't know anything..."
"Just now, Teacher Liang's husband came to identify the body. Everyone felt very sympathetic about this, but I noticed one thing, Teacher Fu, you seem to dislike Teacher Liang's husband very much?" Chi Xia made it clear directly.
Teacher Fu didn't expect that his little action was also seen clearly by the police, and he was a little flustered: "Is there... is there? Comrade police, did you see it wrong..."
Chi Xia stared at her: "Teacher Fu, I am sure I am not mistaken. "
Luo Xun added, "Could it be that Teacher Liang's death has something to do with Teacher Fu?"
This frightened Teacher Fu. She waved her hands in shock and said, "It has nothing to do with me! What can I have to do with her death, police comrade..."
She explained eagerly, but when she saw the two policemen staring at her, as if to confirm her guilty conscience, Teacher Fu sighed suddenly and slumped her shoulders: "Okay, then I'll tell you!"
Chi Xia laughed and pulled her to sit down: "Teacher Fu, we just want to get more clues. I understand that you don't want to cause yourself any trouble, but if everyone encounters something like this, it will be a mess. You are a teacher who teaches and educates people. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Teacher Fu felt a little ashamed and sighed again.
"As for Lao Liang, her teaching performance is pretty good, and the principal has to give her some points. As she gets older, her temper gets worse, so she doesn't have many friends in school."
Luo Xun squatted aside and took out another piece of crushed ice from somewhere and handed it to Teacher Fu, but the other party waved his hand and refused. He then handed it to Chi Xia, who saw that the ice had melted and shook his head.
Luo Xun enjoyed it all by himself with a clear conscience. He sipped the juice and said, "Teacher Fu should be one of her few friends. After all, you are of similar age. Did you go to the same school?"
"It's not a very good relationship, but we can always talk to each other."
Teacher Fu smiled bitterly: "She is a very arrogant person. She only focuses on her work. She doesn't care about making friends."
"Then what do you think about her husband? I see you don't like that man very much." Chi Xia asked her.
"Sun Xiangbo..."
Teacher Fu shook his head when talking about this person. "He used to be a math teacher in our school, but he suddenly resigned. He said he started his own business. I heard he did quite well and made a lot of money ."
"Colleague." Luo Xun finished drinking the crushed ice and felt a little greasy in his mouth. It would be better to freeze this thing into ice.
"Well, Sun Xiangbo came to the school two years earlier than us and later married Teacher Liang. He has a very dull personality and we don't communicate much," said Teacher Fu.
"So you don't know much about him." Luo Xun changed his posture: "Why do you hate him so much?"
Teacher Fu was a little embarrassed and rubbed his hands: "I can't say I hate him, but I just look down on his behavior just now. The person is dead, what's the point of being affectionate now? When you saw his expression just now, weren't you also quite moved?"
Chi Xia smiled, neither denying nor agreeing.
"They are all pretending!" Teacher Fu sneered, "About two years ago, I saw Teacher Liang crying in the bathroom. She is such a proud person, how could she cry, right?"
Chi Xia really didn't know, but in order to agree, she nodded: "It's unlikely..."
"She didn't want to tell me at first, but I couldn't help asking her. Or maybe she really had no one to vent her grievances to, so she told me a few words."
"What did you say?" Luo Xun acted like a supporting actor and made a comment at the critical moment.
Teacher Fu briefly recalled the scene at that time.
"She told me that she suspected Sun Xiangbo was cheating on her!" Teacher Fu said, and his disgust for Sun Xiangbo surfaced again.
"Cheating?" Luo Xun stood up and patted his butt: "Who did you cheat with?"
"How should I know?" Teacher Fu frowned. "I asked her that, but Teacher Liang said she didn't know. Well, it's a family scandal anyway. She didn't tell me a word."
"What happened next?" Chi Xia asked.
"Later..." Teacher Fu shook his head: "I asked Teacher Liang, but she told me that it was just a misunderstanding last time. She misunderstood Sun Xiangbo. But I don't think so, because after that incident, Teacher Liang worked harder. No, it can't be said to be hard work, it should be said that she is a little crazy."
"Crazy?" Chi Xia looked at him in confusion.
Teacher Fu pursed his lips, as if thinking about whether he should say the next words.
Luo Xun pushed her again: "Just say whatever you think. We are just chatting anyway. Don't worry about saying something wrong."
Teacher Fu breathed a sigh of relief: "How should I put it? Although she used to be strong, she was not mean. In the past two years, she has become more and more mean, whether it is to students or colleagues, and sometimes even to parents. But her teaching results are there, and no one can say anything to her. If you can't afford to provoke her, just hide. If you can't afford to avoid her, just bear with it. Only the new young teachers will occasionally argue with her."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "That's all I can say. If I continue, it would be nonsense. Anyway, police comrade, if Teacher Liang was forced to commit suicide, I think her husband, Sun Xiangbo, is a big suspect."
"We will pay attention to this." Chi Xia also stood up: "Thank you for your help."
Teacher Fu shook his head: "By the way, you can also ask Teacher Liang's daughter. She has a good relationship with her mother."
After Teacher Fu left, Luo Xun asked Chi Xiaxian: "What do you think after hearing what she said?"
Chi Xia shook her head: "Sun Xiangbo's feelings just now don't seem to be fake, but Teacher Fu's words still give us a new idea. Let's investigate further before drawing conclusions."
Luo Xun nodded, and his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone, frowning: "Find the person out as soon as possible."
He hung up the phone with a bad look on his face. Chi Xia asked him, "Captain Luo, what's wrong?"
Luo Xun said coldly: "There is a teacher named Tian Caoyun. Curly and the others know that this teacher had a feud with Liang Ruqing, but she is missing now."
"Missing?" Chi Xia asked, "Are you sure she was in school today?"
"Um."
Luo Xun said in a cold voice: "And the male teacher who tried to save Liang Ruqing in the surveillance video is also missing."
