Chapter 67 Flower Market
Chi Xia and Luo Xun looked at each other, both with cold eyes.
"Teacher Fu, look at this student. Are you sure his name is Liu Zitao, right?" Luo Xun handed the application form to Teacher Fu.
Teacher Fu looked at him and nodded with certainty: "Yes, this is him. There is no way I could have mistaken him."
"Director Qin." Luo Xun said to Qin Yansong again, "I need you to help me retrieve the relevant file information of a student."
Qin Yansong knew the problem was not simple from the looks of the two policemen: "Which student?"
"Xu Yang, Xu Yang from Class 1, Grade 3." Luo Xun said.
"Xu Yang?"
Qin Yansong and Teacher Fu were both very familiar with this name. Teacher Fu frowned and said, "Xu Yang? He is a very good student."
"Yes, it's him." Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "Check it out quickly."
"We need to ask the principal about this." Qin Yansong's face was solemn: "Xu Yang was a student that was personally handled by the principal."
"Handled by him?" Chi Xia asked him, "Did he enter No. 1 Middle School later?"
"Yes, about a year ago, the principal brought this child to me and said to put him in Class 1. At first, Teacher Liang didn't want him. She first let the student do a set of midterm exam papers, and the results were very good. Then she gave another set of questions, and Xu Yang also finished them. Only then was she happy... As for Xu Yang's relevant academic information, they are all with the principal." Qin Yansong explained to them.
Luo Xun and Chi Xia immediately went to find the principal.
Because of this incident at the school, the principal has been very busy these days. He finally had a little free time now. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before the director came with the police.
Since the incident, the principal has been busy reporting work to various places, and this is the first time he has met with the police.
When he learned the purpose of Luo Xun's visit, he was even more surprised: "I am indeed the one who handled this child, but officer, is there anything wrong with Xu Yang? He is the dark horse in our college entrance examination this year, and the school is paying close attention to him."
"Let's take a look at the information." Luo Xun said, "Principal, can you tell us in detail about Xu Yang's admission to Class 1 of Senior 3?"
"Xu Yang was originally a student of No. 1 Middle School." The principal was puzzled: "He just took a leave of absence for a while, and it's normal for him to come back to school."
Liu Zitao and Xu Yang are the same person, Luo Xun and Chi Xia confirmed this at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and Luo Xun looked at the principal: "What's going on? Please explain it clearly."
The principal had already pulled up Xu Yang's relevant information on the computer. He pointed at the computer and said, "Come and take a look."
As soon as Luo Xun and Chi Xia went over, they saw the following written on his profile sheet: Name: Xu Yang, formerly known as: Liu Zitao.
Former name, Chi Xia took a deep breath, he was quite smart.
On this re-enrollment information form, he was no longer the depressed teenager. He looked clean, refreshed, and even had a smile on his face.
Chi Xia thought of the young man who chatted with her in the office. If you didn't know the inside story, it would be difficult to connect Xu Yang and Liu Zitao together.
"The kid's brother came to me many times, and I was moved by him. Xu Yang also tried his best to prove that he could guarantee his academic performance. Once the test papers were done, the results were there. I had to believe it even if I didn't believe it. How could such a good seedling be delayed? We had to get him back as soon as possible."
The principal continued, "I originally wanted him to go back to Teacher Fu's class, but the child insisted on going to Teacher Liang's class. He also said that his family was poor and he didn't want people to know too much. He hoped that I could keep it a secret. Well, his brother also negotiated with me again and again at the time. I agreed to protect the child. This... this is not a big problem, right? Except for not disclosing his previous family information, everything else is in accordance with the procedures."
"Who is leading Class 1 of Senior 3 now?" Luo Xun interrupted him and asked, "Call Xu Yang out."
The principal looked at Qin Yansong, who immediately said, "Change to an experienced teacher. I'll go get Xu Yang."
"Chi Xia, you go with him." Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia nodded and followed Qin Yansong out.
"Teacher Fu, when did Liu Zitao take a leave of absence from school?" Luo Xun suddenly asked Teacher Fu.
Teacher Fu thought about it carefully and said, "Well... let me think about it, probably... probably the second month after the parents' meeting. It should be that time."
"Can you still find the homework Liu Zitao wrote when he was in your class?"
Luo Xun added: "There are also recent ones, as long as they are written in Chinese characters."
"The most recent ones are easy to find, but those from a year and a half ago..."
Teacher Fu was a little embarrassed: "This, I have to look for it, maybe it has already been sold as waste paper."
Luo Xun's face was cold: "Do your best, I hope it will be as fast as possible."
The principal urged Teacher Fu to go find him quickly.
Luo Xun didn't wait long before Chi Xia and Qin Yansong came back. They looked unhappy. She said, "Xu Yang didn't come to class today."
"Where is Chen Ying, and the two named Ma Chao and Zhang Qi?" Luo Xun asked.
Chi Xia shook his head: "No, many students in the class were frightened and asked for leave."
So the teacher wouldn’t think there was anything wrong if they didn’t come.
Luo Xun exhaled: "Go to Xu Yang's house."
What a coincidence, when Luo Xun and Chi Xia were about to leave, Teacher Fu came running over in a hurry with two exercise books in his hands.
"These two books, one is from Xu Yang, and the other is from Liu Zitao... Fortunately, some of them are still available."
"Thank you." Luo Xun took it and quickly left the school with Chi Xia.
Qin Yansong and the others hadn't figured it out yet, so the principal spoke first: "Liu Zitao is Xu Yang's former name. Teacher Fu, can't you recognize that Xu Yang is your student?"
"Principal, you may not know this, but Director Qin must have an impression. Liu Zitao was a marginal student. Not only was he late and left early, but his grades were also at the bottom. How could anyone who didn't know the inside story connect these two people? I did feel familiar with Xu Yang a few times, but I couldn't connect him with Liu Zitao."
Qin Yansong frowned and said, "Principal, let's discuss this. Now that this matter is related to students, how should we deal with it?"
The principal sighed heavily: "Hold the meeting immediately."
This time when we went to Xu Yang's house, it was Chi Xia who drove.
Luo Xun is comparing the handwriting.
The handwriting of Xu Yang from Class 1, Grade 3, was, as they had guessed, the same as on the card. But the handwriting in the exercise book of Liu Zitao from a year and a half ago looked like dog crawling.
After a long comparison, Luo Xun said, "It's the same person."
Chi Xia frowned slightly: "Captain Luo has learned handwriting identification?"
"A little bit."
Luo Xun said: "Although Liu Zitao's handwriting is sloppy, the direction, strokes and strength of the strokes are very similar to Xu Yang's."
His eyes were a little tired, so he rubbed them and put the exercise book aside: "I have to ask the technical investigation department to check it again when I get back to the team."
Chi Xia said, "Okay."
According to the home address given by the school, Chi Xia parked the car at the intersection. The two walked into the narrow alley and turned two corners before finding Xu Yang's home.
But, the door was locked.
Chi Xia went to ask her neighbor, and the neighbor told her: "Xiaoyang, he is either at school or helping his grandmother sell buns at the flower market. You should go to the school first."
"What about Xu Yang's parents?" Chi Xia asked, "Are they also at the flower market?"
The neighbor looked at them strangely, and after a while he said, "Xiaoyang's mother died a long time ago, didn't you know?"
Chi Xia was startled, glanced at Luo Xun, and asked again: "She... when did she die?"
"Oh, if you calculate it this way, it will take at least a year and a half."
The neighbor looked sympathetic: "This family has a hard life."
"Then she...how did she die?" Chi Xia asked again.
"Oh, jumping off the building..." The neighbor sighed with a look of regret on his face.
Chi Xia stood up and looked at Luo Xun: "Let's go to the flower market."
After getting in the car, Luo Xun called Lin Wenjue to ask about the progress. Lin Wenjue briefly told him and asked him, "How are you guys doing? Is it going well?"
"What a coincidence, we are also on our way to the flower market." Luo Xun said, "The person who sent the flowers has been basically confirmed, so come and meet us."
He hung up the phone, and Chi Xia asked him, "Captain Luo, did Officer Lin and his team also find the flower market?"
"Yes." Luo Xun said: "They got a clue that the bouquet of flowers was most likely bought from the flower market. Lao Cao and Juanmao have already gone to the flower market."
Flower Market...
Xu Yang is there.
