Chapter 60 Childish
Jiang Xiao's words stirred up waves in Tian Caoyun and Chi Xia's hearts.
Knowing Tian Caoyun's character, Chi Xia felt that it was natural for her to do this, but as for Jiang Xiao, Chi Xia felt that she was a girl who would only ask the other person to stop swearing with red eyes when being scolded.
"What's going on? How come I don't know? You didn't even tell me!"
Tian Caoyun was the first to get excited. She grabbed Jiang Xiao's hand and asked, "Did you win?"
Jiang Xiao forced a smile and slowly talked about the past.
"That was about a year and a half ago. There was a parents' meeting at school and Teacher Fu had an emergency. She wanted me to take over her class. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao's breathing became rapid. Chi Xia quickly handed her some water. She swallowed a few times before feeling a little better.
"Take your time, there's no rush." Chi Xia patted her hands.
Tian Caoyun also felt her pain, hugged her and stroked her back: "That's right, don't be afraid, we are all here, just talk slowly, if it doesn't work, we can write it down!"
Jiang Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth palely and took a breath: "But Teacher Fu didn't come that day. Later I found out that her family had a car accident. I helped her to hold the parent-teacher meeting... After the meeting, a parent wanted to talk to me. It was at this time that Teacher Liang came over..."
"Oh, yes, I know that. Later we also donated money to Teacher Fu..." said Tian Caoyun.
Jiang Xiao slowed down and calmed herself down. Chi Xia felt cold sweat beginning to seep out of her palms.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Xiao shook his head and continued, "At that time, Teacher Liang suddenly came over and slapped me. The student's parents and I were stunned. At that time, the student's parents spoke up for me, but Teacher Liang scolded them instead."
Chi Xia frowned: "What did Liang Ruqing say?"
Jiang Xiao frowned, trying to recall: "Teacher Liang probably knew which student's parent she was, and she said at the time that she didn't need to ask the teacher every day, and that the problem of their child was not the teacher's. She asked her to see if she could help the child and whether she was holding the child back. It's okay for the child to have an unreliable father, but you, as a mother, can handle the problem. Parents who only hold their children back are not worthy of being parents. Anyway, that's all she said. I was afraid that they would make a fuss and make things worse, so I persuaded the student's parents to leave."
"Then, you had another fight, right?" Chi Xia asked.
"Well, when I got back, she hadn't left yet."
Jiang Xiao's voice trembled: "She was a little strange that day, as if she was deliberately picking on me. I couldn't understand why she hit me, so I argued with her. She first said that I didn't do my job well, and then said that I didn't obey the rules. Later, her words became more and more unpleasant. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I refuted a few times, and she wanted to hit me again."
"Then we must fight back!"
Tian Caoyun was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick: "She is sick! She hit you for no reason. Who does she think she is? Even the principal is not qualified to do this!"
"I did." Jiang Xiao's face suddenly flushed: "I even won."
That little bit of excitement was soon replaced by the disappointment that followed. She smiled bitterly and said, "But after that, Teacher Liang's targeting of me became more obvious. Although no one could see it on the surface, my personal feelings were very real. She would privately assign me a lot of messy tasks, and sometimes she would help me get some work in front of the principal..."
Tian Caoyun suddenly realized: "That is to say, we thought she was promoting you, but actually... actually..."
Jiang Xiao nodded. The powerlessness, helplessness, and exhaustion suddenly swept over her like a flood. She gasped for breath and her body trembled. Tian Caoyun quickly hugged her: "Don't be afraid, it's all over, Jiang Xiao, don't be afraid..."
Looking at her condition, Chi Xia knew that he couldn't ask any more questions because Jiang Xiao had already reached her limit.
She comforted Jiang Xiao with a few words, asked Tian Caoyun to accompany her well, and went out to find Luo Xun and the others.
In the corridor, Chi Xia only saw Luo Xun's figure. He was standing against the wall with his back to Chi Xia. The light from the setting sun shone in, stretching his shadow very long.
Chi Xia called out, and he turned around. Under the light, Chi Xia couldn't see his face clearly.
She walked towards Luo Xun: "Captain Luo, where are the others?"
"I asked Lao Lin and the others to go back first. First, to check the source of the sleeping pills we found under Liang Ruqing's pillow, and second, to urge the technical investigation department to analyze the surveillance video."
After Luo Xun finished speaking, he pointed his chin towards the classroom and asked, "What's the situation?"
"The motive is very strong." Chi Xia's eyebrows were filled with sorrow: "But it's not her either."
"Are you so sure?" Luo Xun took out his cigarette case and raised his chin towards the window: "Go over and talk."
Chi Xia followed her and Luo Xun lit a cigarette: "Are you used to the smell?"
"I don't mind." Chi Xia said.
"Then tell me your basis." Luo Xun switched seats with her, and the smell of smoke drifted away with the wind.
"A year and a half ago, Liang Ruqing slapped Jiang Xiao for no apparent reason and verbally insulted a student's parent who spoke to Jiang Xiao. According to Jiang Xiao, Liang Ruqing was in a strange state at the time. I suspect that was when she determined that Sun Xiangbo had cheated on her and with whom."
Luo Xun nodded: "What happened next?"
"Jiang Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and tried to argue with Liang Ruqing. Not only did they quarrel, they also had a fight."
Luo Xun snorted and laughed: "Even if Jiang Xiao wins the fight, his future life will definitely be difficult, otherwise he wouldn't suffer from depression."
"Yes." Chi Xia said: "This is also why I said Jiang Xiao has a strong motive."
"Also, Captain Luo, I have discovered the most important point. It is precisely because this that it is easier to explain why Liang Ruqing wants to make trouble for Jiang Xiao." Chi Xia said again.
"What?"
"Jiang Xiao's appearance and temperament are very similar to Nie Qianyu."
Luo Xun looked over and was silent for a moment: "Then why are you so sure it's not her?"
Chi Xia looked at the clouds in the distance, which were dyed orange-red by the setting sun. She said, "Judging from the extent of Jiang Xiao's depression, she may only want to end her own life. She has no ability to end others' life, not even her own."
Luo Xun finished smoking a cigarette, leaned against the setting sun, and flicked the cigarette butt into the trash can.
Chi Xia saw his action and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Senior Sister Lin Cuo is also good at this." Chi Xia gestured with a finger snapping motion: "Several colleagues in their serious crime team are very envious and have been studying for a long time but have not been able to learn it."
Luo Xun's eyes flashed with pride. He took out a tissue from his pocket, crumpled it up and threw it into a trash can farther away. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it difficult?"
Chi Xia smiled and shook his head, giving him a thumbs up, but what she was thinking in her heart was: childish.
"Where are Wu Peng and Zheng Na?" Chi Xia asked him, changing the subject.
"The conflict between Zheng Na and Liang Ruqing is not as deep as that between Tian Cao Yun."
Luo Xun pressed his tongue against his cheek. "Let's talk about Wu Peng. He has complicated feelings towards Liang Ruqing and was willing to be used by her. He does have a motive, but Lao Lin told me that from his communication with Wu Peng, Wu Peng is not the murderer. Not to mention Zheng Na. Her conflicts are not enough to kill anyone."
"In other words, judging from our current situation, everyone has the motive, but no one has the ability." Chi Xia said after pondering.
"Yes, and Curly also checked the psychological clinic on Jiang Xiao's business card. The conclusion he reached was that the other party and Jiang Xiao were just a simple doctor-patient relationship, and had no connection with Liang Ruqing, so he had no motive for committing the crime."
After Luo Xun finished speaking, he looked at Chi Xia and said, "Chi Xia, did we miss something?"
Chi Xia was also thinking about this question.
What exactly did they miss? Among all the clues, are there any clues that they have not noticed?
Chi Xia looked down from the window of the teaching building and saw several students standing on tiptoe at the gate to peek in. She squinted her eyes and looked over: "Captain Luo, look at those students at the school gate, do we know them?"
Luo Xun also looked over. He took a closer look and said, "It seems to be the little girl named Chen Ying."
