Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 930: Nowhere to Appeal for Justice

  • Next Chapter

According to the information provided by Xu Wenbang, the original appearance of the whole event has basically been restored.

Zhang Tao started pursuing Qin Ruirui from the first year of high school, but she never agreed. Later, Zhang Tao confessed to Zhangqin Ruirui, and she rejected him, which made Zhang Tao feel humiliated in front of his classmates.

There were often conflicts between them in the class.

Half a year ago during evening self-study, Qin Ruirui went to the bathroom alone, and Zhang Tao followed her.

During this process, surveillance captured Qin Ruirui entering the female restroom alone, and shortly after, Zhang Tao followed. Less than five minutes later, Qin Ruirui jumped out the window.

At the time, Qin Ruirui did not die from the fall, only injuring her spine. After calling an ambulance, she was immediately taken to the hospital.

At the time, the Third Middle School’s approach to this incident was relatively simple and rough, which was to suppress it.

Given the reputation of the Third Middle School, the school leaders were afraid of any negative impact if news of a student’s jump became public, so no information was reported about this incident.

Wang Jinde was also aware of this incident and had agreed with Xu Wenbang when he sought Wang’s consultation about it.

However, Qin Ruirui’s jump was clearly not voluntary. If Zhang Tao hadn’t followed her into the female restroom, she wouldn’t have jumped.

The day after Qin Ruirui was rescued, her parents went to the school.

"Hello, Qin Rui’s father requested to view the surveillance footage. We had actually already reviewed it at that point and understood the situation."

Xu Wenbang continued, "According to Qin Ruirui, Zhang Tao started touching her after following her into the female restroom. In a panic, Qin Ruirui jumped out of the window."

"But..."

Xu Wenbang’s tone shifted, but Lu Chuan directly interrupted him.

"But Qin Ruirui’s family is powerless and unconnected; she is just a farmer’s child, so you don’t believe her word."

Lu Chuan looked at the other party, anger in his eyes.

He had heard of and seen many such cases before but didn’t expect such power from a mere deputy director of a district financial bureau.

"Did you not believe Qin Ruirui because you wanted Zhang Haibin to help expedite funding approvals for you?"

Xu Wenbang looked embarrassed: "We weren’t avoiding it; there was indeed such a reason, but you also know they were in the restroom for a particularly short time..."

"It was only three to five minutes, so we thought Zhang Tao couldn’t have done anything."

"Moreover, Zhang Tao is also young and impulsive, right, and is just a student..."

"Director Xu, do you mean Qin Ruirui is not a student?"

"Qin Ruirui...after all, nothing major happened."

Nothing major?

Lu Chuan was furious and looked at Wang Jinde: "Principal Wang, the person is disabled, having to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and your Director Xu actually says it’s nothing major?"

"The Third Middle School..."

Lu Chuan took a deep breath: "Although I didn’t attend high school at the Third Middle School, I know that it’s one of the best schools in the city and even the province."

"Each year, a dozen or even twenty students from this high school enter the top universities."

"But...Principal Wang, I don’t deny that your teaching methods are indeed effective, but in terms of moral education, I think you fall far short!"

Wang Jinde looked guilty.

Xu Wenbang was also restless.

In terms of logic, the fault was indeed his.

However, Xu Wenbang thought he was doing it for the school.

Whether it was the school’s reputation or that funding at the time.

The only one to pay some price might just be Qin Ruirui.

Wang Jinde’s face turned ugly.

Over the years, the Third Middle School’s teaching quality has been getting higher and higher, but it seems indeed they have neglected some more important aspects.

For some matters that superficially appeared to affect Shandong’s development, the school has admitted some students who shouldn’t have gotten into the Third Middle School over the years.

Although they took some measures, these students didn’t cause much of a stir, but the incident with Qin Ruirui sounded an alarm for Wang Jinzhe.

Today, Qin Ruirui jumped out the window; tomorrow, Zhang Ruirui might be killed.

"Captain Lu, this matter is our problem; we will definitely pay attention in the future."

Pay attention in the future?

Lu Chuan shook his head.

"Principal Wang, this is your matter, but from my perspective, paying attention in the future is not enough."

Lu Chuan was concerned about the criminal case!

"If our guess is correct, did Qin Ruirui’s father later come to your school many times?"

Xu Wenbang nodded helplessly: "He did come..."

"But, you never gave them any resolution?"

"We actually did. At the time, Zhang Tao’s father offered them 100,000 yuan, but...the migrant worker refused..."

Migrant worker...

Upon hearing Xu Wenbang refer to Qin Ruirui’s father this way, Qin Chuan knew that this case or matter was not going to be justly handled by the Third Middle School.

"Director Xu, do you have children?"

Xu Wenbang paused, unsure why Lu Chuan asked this question.

But he still nodded: "Yes."

"If!"

Lu Chuan stood up, looking directly at him: "I don’t know if your child is a boy or a girl, a son or a daughter, but if this matter happened to your child, do you think 100,000 yuan could buy your child’s life?"

Xu Wenbang was stunned: "Captain Lu, how can that be the same... I"

"Right, how could it be the same? Qin Ruirui’s father is a migrant worker, while you are the dignified director of the academic affairs office of the Third Middle School."

Xu Wenbang opened his mouth...

Lu Chuan was right, that’s precisely what he thought.

In Xu Wenbang’s opinion, their child was worth much more than the child of a migrant worker, after all, he earns more than 100,000 yuan a year.

"Regarding this matter," Lu Chuan was ready to leave. Since the situation at the school had already been investigated clearly, there was no need to stay here, "Sun Biao, you stay here at the school to investigate."

"Clarify the situation back then, and investigate all of Qin Ruirui’s and Zhang Tao’s classmates and teachers."

"Clearly tell them this is related to several criminal cases, and any related investigation must be truthfully reported, otherwise they will bear the consequences!"

Sun Biao had only come to gather some information earlier and hadn’t said much about the reasons. Since Lu Chuan put it this way, the seriousness of the matter obviously rose to a different level.

After Lu Chuan left, he did not return to the Criminal Investigation Team.

Instead, he went directly to the police station in the area where the Third Middle School is located.

According to Xu Wenbang, not only did the other party go to the school for a resolution, but also reported the case to the police station.

Lu Chuan needed to go to the local police station to understand the situation, to see why these cases were not filed at the time.

It might make sense for the school not to deal with it, but the police station doesn’t take responsibility either?
