Chapter 145: media coverage

Xu Yiman asked Xiao Xuanmiao to sit next to her. She looked at Jiang He, Principal Zhou and others next to her, and said, "In this way, you all go out, and Xiao Xuanmiao and I will talk to each other alone."

Seeing that Xiao Xuanmiao didn't seem to want to speak, Jiang He agreed to Xu Yiman's condition.

Jiang He was thinking at the moment, there were some contradictions in the details that made Jiang He feel that this case was not that simple. The other five people lined up outside the corridor, no one spoke, all with their heads bowed.

Principal Zhou yelled at these sixteen-year-old children outside, and their head teacher had already started to contact the parents of these children.

"Looking at the fact that you are five people and six people, you are actually the scum of the society. When you are in school, you are the trash in the school, and after you leave the society, you are the trash of the society. If you don't add glory to the school day by day, you know that you will recruit black people to the school. Have you studied once in school? Have you ever thought about your parents? Did your parents send you here to bully your classmates?"

Principal Zhou moved a finger at the tip of several people's noses. He cursed at the five children until he was exhausted.

A school leader hurried back from the outside, lying on Principal Zhou's ear and didn't know what to say, Principal Zhou's expression changed, and he said to Jiang He: "Officer Jiang, there are other things in the school, I Go and deal with it, you can talk to this guy if you have anything, this is Director Li."

"Hello, Officer Jiang." Director Li nodded at Jiang He and said, "I'm the moral education director of No. 4 Middle School."

While speaking, Principal Zhou had left in a hurry.

Through the glass windows in the corridor, Jiang He could see that there were quite a few news cars parked at the entrance of the campus. Those reporters were getting out of the cars and walking into the campus one by one.

"Those reporters didn't know where they got the news, and they rushed over one by one to learn about the school violence case." Director Li said, then looked at the five classmates in the corridor, and scolded: "It's all of you who are not. Inexperienced fellow, when your parents come, get out of your way and go home one by one to reflect."

"How did those reporters know about these things?" Jiang He asked.

Director Li frowned: "Now there is a lot of buzz on the Internet, I don't know who spread the news that these children are our fourth middle school students, this is a hot event now, and those reporters are like flies, They don't report good things. Once such a bad thing happens, they will come one by one. People like reporters are difficult to deal with. White can be called black, and black can be called white. Principal Zhou is here. Don't you want to deal with it now?"

"Do you know how many people online want to kill you?" Jiang He looked at the group of children and said, "I don't care why you beat Xiao Xuanmiao, now what I want to ask you is, after the beating incident, What is the difference between Deng Xiangyu and usual, has he told you guys that he has seen any strange people?"

"I don't know." The first person to speak was Ge Dongyun: "Deng Xiangyu doesn't like to talk, even if there is something, he rarely communicates with people. Before his accident, he never said anything to us. What about the rest? ?"

"No." The rest of the people said in unison.

"How did Deng Xiangyu die?" Ge Dongyun asked.

"This is a secret, you don't need to know." Jiang He said to the children, "Anyway, be more careful lately. If something happens, remember to call the police early."

Director Li of Moral Education said: "It's really hateful for them to beat people, but they are not guilty of death. Our No. 4 middle school has just been rated as a key middle school in the city, and it's still a fart. I don't think it's bad for Principal Zhou's position. I can't sit still, if he is withdrawn, how many people will be implicated, you bastards, you really don't learn well."

At this moment, he heard shouts from outside, and when Jiang He turned to look again, he saw that there were already circle after circle of people at the entrance of the campus, and there were also a lot of students gathered at the entrance of the school. The school gate is the midpoint, and there are people in circles and circles around to the left, and the noisy voices are shouting from the mouths of these people.

It turned out that it was the end of the get out of class now, and almost all the students in the teaching building rushed out and surrounded the outside.

In addition to these students, the road outside the school has been blocked. These citizens who have come from nowhere are gathered at the gate of the campus, and you can vaguely hear someone shouting something like severely punishing the murderer and so on.

Children over the age of fourteen can indeed bear criminal responsibility independently, but according to the law, minors should be sentenced lightly.

Judging from the video, Xiao Xuanmiao was not severely beaten and did not leave any scars, but the most important thing is that these beaters took off Xiao Xuanmiao's clothes and let her go home wearing only underwear , this is something that no one can tolerate.

At this time, Xu Yiman opened the door and walked out, and brought Xiao Xuanmiao out.

"How is it?" Jiang He asked.

Xu Yiman replied: "Don't say anything, and said that she must be wrong, otherwise others would not treat her like this, look at others, and look at you, you are not going to apologize to Xiao Xuanmiao. Is it?"

Xu Yiman took Xiao Xuanmiao's hand, looked at the others and said.

Xiao Xuanmiao's eyes were red and there were tears on her cheeks. It could be seen that Xiao Xuanmiao had just cried again.

But none of the five people apologized.

Ge Dongyun said, "If you want to arrest me, arrest me. I took the lead, it's none of your business, but I won't apologize!"

The rest also said one after another: "I don't apologize."

No one apologized.

"Unreasonable!" Xu Yiman said: "When their parents arrive, they will take them back to the police station to make a record."

"I'll go down and have a look, you are here to watch them." Jiang He said, "Wait a while for their parents to come. After completing the formalities, come down."

Xu Yiman touched Xiao Xuanmiao's face and said to Jiang He, "Send her away."

Jiang He nodded.

Director Li said, "I'll go down with you, and Principal Zhou asked me to follow you."

While walking downstairs, Jiang He said to Director Li, "What are you going to do with these students?"

"Of course, let them go home and reflect." Director Li said: "After two or three days, people forget about this matter, and let them go back to school. If you say what you can do, these people don't study at all. , but according to the nine-year compulsory education, if people want to come back, you have no way to prevent them from coming back."

"In three days, others will forget?" Jiang He didn't believe it.

Director Li smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is a fight, to put it bluntly, you are young and angry, you never fought when you were young, and you don't even get hurt, this is a big deal. Those netizens, those people's memories are all goldfish, and they will be forgotten in a short time."

"You may not understand the current public opinion." Jiang He said: "Almost a million people know about this through video."

"I may not understand the public opinion, but I understand these people. Officer, I am so many years older than you, I understand some people's sophistication, but you don't understand, people are like this, everyone is the same, and it will not change in 10,000 years. ." Director Li completely disagreed with Jiang He's words.

Jiang He did not continue to explain, because the two had already come downstairs. The downstairs was extremely noisy, and the daring students were crowding the school gate, and some students were lying at the windows of the corridor to see what was going on outside.

Xiao Xuanmiao, who had been following the two of them, suddenly said loudly to Jiang He, "Uncle Police, thank you, thank you for protecting me, my class is here, I'll go back first."

Jiang He looked at Xiao Xuanmiao at the back of his **** and said, "Okay, then you can go back first."

"Will you protect me in the future?" Xiao Xuanmiao said.

Jiang He nodded: "Don't worry, you will never be bullied by others again."

Xiao Xuanmiao bowed deeply and ran back to the classroom. The students in the corridor all looked at Xiao Xuanmiao and Jiang He, but no one made a sound.

"Let's go back to the classroom to study, there's nothing to see, go back to the class alone, don't crowd out." Director Li shouted: "Go back."

Director Li is nearly fifty years old, with a big belly and almost all of his hair is falling out. When he speaks, his whole body is shaking, and the hair on his head is also shaking, which is very funny. But these students still seemed to be very afraid of this Director Li, and returned to the classroom one after another.

The two continued to walk outside, and the bell rang behind the two of them.

"Go back to me, are you all going to skip class collectively?" Director Li walked out of the crowd of students alone. When they saw Director Li, these students didn't dare to stay for a long time. They all ran into the classroom, and after a while , the campus is much more empty, but the parents outside the school still surround the road.

In the face of these reporters, Principal Zhou was overwhelmed and weak, exhausted, and sweated profusely.

"Principal Zhou, what do you think of the school violence case that happened in No. 4 Middle School."

"This time something like this happened in your school. Are those eight students still in school?"

"Have you done psychological counseling for beaten children?"

"What do you think about those classmates taking off the victim's clothes and shoes?"

Questions swirled in Principal Zhou's mind, and the microphones were almost on his mouth.

Jiang He leaned into Principal Zhou's ear and said, "Remember, only those six people were exposed, and now there is a murder case, we still can't be sure whether this case is related to the violent case, but for safety's sake, don't put it on. Who are the remaining two people to find out, understand?"

"Understood." Principal Zhou also leaned into Jiang He's ear and said, "These reporters still don't know that Deng Xiangyu is dead."

Jiang He added, "We both have to keep this matter a secret, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"I know." Principal Zhou replied.
