Chapter 32

Today is the fifth day since Gao Jichang was released.

On the same day, the school informed him that he did not need to go back to work for the time being. His apartment in the staff housing complex was also sealed off as evidence because the manila envelope was found there.

He was also upset that he should have been braver. As soon as he learned of Liu Huaixin's death, he tore up the manila envelope and threw it away. But during those two days, there were police officers coming in and out of the building for inspection, and there was a police officer guarding the door 24 hours a day. He was too guilty to take risks. As a result, he got himself into such a big trouble.

He didn't want to go back and face the pointing and criticizing of his neighbors. Fortunately, the police did not have the authority to seal off the other apartments, so he returned to the two-bedroom apartment in the city center.

The next day, the teacher from the school's personnel department called him coldly to inform him that he was fired and asked him to go back to handle the formalities when he was free. Gao Jichang was furious, but he did not argue.

After a sleepless night, he went to the supermarket to buy a new set of skin care products and two boxes of nutritional supplements, and took a taxi to the nursing home where his wife lived.

His wife Wang Lian's face was as pale as before, and she was even thinner. She was pushed by a nurse in a wheelchair and was basking in the sun in the yard. When she saw him coming, she smiled softly and vaguely: "It's not even the weekend yet, why are you here?"

When Gao Jichang saw his wife, who had been with him for many years and was also his first woman, his nose suddenly felt sore and his eyes turned red. He said, "I missed you, so I came here."

He threw the gift he brought into the nurse's hands, knelt on one knee beside her wheelchair, and hugged her almost thin waist like a child, crying, "Why are you thinner again? I dreamed about you last night, and I couldn't bear it, so I came here."

Wang Lian did not cry, but just sighed deeply, hugged his head and stroked it gently.

"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you." She was still as gentle as she was back then, "Did something happen? Don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, nothing will happen to you. I'll call dad in a minute."

"Yeah, yeah!" Gao Jichang cried and fell asleep in her arms.

That night, Gao Jichang knelt in the study room of his father-in-law's house for more than two hours.

It was not until the moon was above the treetops and the guests had left that the father-in-law came in with a cold face. He grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it over, hitting Gao Jichang's forehead, causing blood to flow.

Gao Jichang's face was full of regret. He didn't move and just cried.

The father-in-law put his hands behind his back and looked out the window for a long time before he said, "Take a break first. Next year, when the limelight has passed, you can go teach at a rural middle school. But you are not allowed to do this again, or I will not forgive you."

Gao Jichang was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Dad! I swear to you that I will never do it again, otherwise I will be hit by a car when I go out! Alas, I was also seduced by those female students. I will not be so stupid again in the future!"

The father-in-law sneered, "You are so capable. You have figured out Xiaolian's heart and you have also grasped our weakness as parents. If Xiaolian hadn't begged so hard and almost had another attack, I would have made you live a life worse than death! Get out!"

-

Gao Jichang bought half a pound of braised pork head and two ounces of peanuts, humming a little tune, and returned to the house in the city center.

It was already late at night. He had not eaten lunch or dinner for today's self-torture, and was starving. Now he had received a promise from his father-in-law. Although he had to go to the countryside with difficult conditions, he had at least kept his job. Who would know about your past deeds if you moved to another place?
He wanted to reward himself for the days of fear and hard work.

He opened a bottle of Wuliangye and sat alone on the balcony, drinking it slowly. He cursed Zhang Xiyu in his heart. If this little bitch hadn't lost her mind and jumped off the building, how could he have ended up in the situation he is in today?

I was drinking with my eyes slightly closed when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Property Management! Your water pipe is leaking, and the downstairs is flooded."

Gao Jichang staggered over and muttered, "There's a water leak somewhere. The property management is really troublesome." As soon as he opened the door, a group of people in police uniforms rushed in like wolves, led by Yan Yong and Zhou Yangxin. They handcuffed Gao Jichang's hands behind his back and pressed him on the coffee table.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Haven't I been acquitted?" Gao Jichang struggled and shouted, "Are you done yet?"

Chen Pu came over and slapped an arrest warrant on his face: "Look carefully! Gao Jichang, you had sex with a freshman student Xie Sijia many times ten years ago. The evidence is irrefutable. You are to be arrested today!"

Gao Jichang thought for a while before he remembered who Xie Sijia was, but he couldn't even remember what she looked like, because to him, those girls all looked the same in bed.

But he quickly reacted and yelled, "She's 14! They're all 14!"

"Really? Are you sure?" Li Qingyao put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at this scum who still refused to give up. "You have confirmed the date of birth code of each one? But there is one person who was not even 14 years old and was in the first year of high school. He was deceived into bed by an old beast. Teacher Gao, are you shocked or surprised?"

Gao Jichang was stunned.

Chen Pu looked at Li Qingyao disapprovingly. It was such a solemn arrest scene, and as someone who had made great contributions this time, she should have spoken solemnly, but the last two sentences were not serious.

Fortunately, no one else thought there was anything wrong with it, and they probably felt relieved.

Gao Jichang was completely limp, half escorted and half dragged by the criminal police and stuffed into the police car. A few people from the second team walked behind, and saw the bright moon in the sky, the treetops swaying gently, and the police lights flashing. The night was so quiet, and the breeze was gentle on my face.

Maybe in the end, not many people would know how big a cancer they had dug out from the crowd. But in the hearts of Team 2, they were still as happy as Big Bear and Little Bear who had drunk the purest honey.

"Oh Yeah!" Yan Yong couldn't help it, he jumped up and waved his fist vigorously.

Everyone laughed.

"You're born in the year of the monkey, right?" Fang Kai scolded with a smile.

Li Qingyao whispered to Chen Pu beside her: "He is the same as me." Chen Pu didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Zhou Yangxin recalled what Chen Pu said before the case happened: "Gao Jichang's case has been solved. Although it's a long road, the car needs gas and I need to drink Red Bull. Chen Pu, Captain Chen, Boss Chen, please fulfill your promise and treat me to a meal."

Chen Pu said, "No problem. The case will almost be closed the day after tomorrow, so that's the day after tomorrow."

Everyone's emotions became even more heated. Yan Yong said to Li Qingyao, "I have decided to go hungry starting from tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I must walk in and out with the help of the wall."

Li Qingyao: "...You are really amazing."

-

one day ago.

When Li Qingyao found the email from Xie Sijia, he first asked a technician to look up the IP address, and then he found Xie Sijia's address and contact information.

Xie Sijia's mother was from Xiangcheng. When she was young, she met her husband who came to work from Northeast China and married him in DQ City, Heilongjiang Province. The year Xie Sijia graduated from elementary school, her parents divorced. Her mother took her back to Xiangcheng.

Xie Sijia still lives in Xiangcheng and opened a small noodle restaurant with her mother.

In the same city, the teacher is still the teacher, but the student has become the one that cannot be seen in the crowd.

After hearing Li Qingyao say on the phone that he wanted to ask about something related to Gao Jichang, Xie Sijia was silent for a long time and then agreed.

Li Qingyao and Zhou Yangxin drove over immediately and met Xie Sijia in a teahouse.

Xie Sijia is already 24 years old, and probably because of working hard all day, she looks a few years older than her actual age. But her eyes are bright, her expression is calm, her speech is neither humble nor arrogant, and her smile is bright.

Apparently, life had either healed her or made her stronger.

This made both policemen feel relieved.

Talking about her relationship with Gao Jichang, Xie Sijia readily admitted: "Yes, I was with him at that time. Are you going to arrest him? Did he have sex with other female students afterwards?"

Li Qingyao nodded.

Xie Sijia sneered: "I know it. I can tell you everything, but you can't let my family know."

"of course."

Xie Sijia handed them the phone and said, "There are also these. I don't know if they count as evidence. If I can put this guy in jail, I will buy some fireworks and secretly set them off by the river alone!"

Li Qingyao and Zhou Yangxin took a look at it. It was a QQ page, and the time displayed was a chat record from ten years ago, in 2014. The two people in the conversation were named "Gao" and "Jia Jia".

The chat history is very long and lasted for nearly a year.

As they flipped through the pages, their eyes became more and more sharp. Because in addition to some cheesy love words, there were also many bed photos, which clearly showed Gao Jichang's face. There were even selfies of Gao Jichang facing his genitals, which he sent to Jia Jia.

"When did you start having sex?" Li Qingyao asked.

"In the first semester of my freshman year." Xie Sijia laughed at herself, "I was stupid at that time. I thought of him as my idol and soon he coaxed me into bed."

Before Zhou Yangxin could react, Li Qingyao suddenly asked, "When is your birthday? Do you remember what month you had sex for the first time?"

Xie Sijia was stunned, and slowly answered: "My birthday is November 2000, 11. The first time was in October. It's in the chat history, otherwise I can't remember it..."

Zhou Yangxin was also shocked: "So at that time, you were not even 14 years old? Then how did you enter the first year of high school?"

Xie Sijia probably realized what this meant, and murmured, "My mother doesn't have time to take care of me. I started school early, so I ended up studying a year less..."

Li Qingyao explained it for her: "She went to primary school in Daqing, which had a five-three system, so she only went to primary school for five years. She transferred to Xiangcheng and went straight to junior high school, but she didn't even make it to the sixth grade."

Later, Li Qingyao asked Xie Sijia why she thought of preserving such old QQ and chat records. Xie Sijia smiled and said, "At the beginning, when I was working in the south and it was difficult, I missed him. Later I realized that I was just a sex tool for him. I kept these chat records to remind myself that every day from now on, I must live braver and more soberly than those two years. I must live a very good life to be worthy of myself."

-

A few months later, Gao Jichang was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Zhang Xiyu's mother fainted in court after learning the whole truth. Her father, Zhang Liangwei, tried to stab Gao Jichang to death with a knife but was subdued by the bailiff.

Gao Jichang's repeated job transfers were all caused by his father-in-law, which led to his father-in-law being investigated. Half a year later, his father-in-law was placed under double supervision for multiple violations of laws and disciplines, and was about to face legal punishment. A few days later, Wang Lian hanged herself in a nursing home.

The police never found the person who wrote the anonymous letter. Perhaps, as the dust settles on the Gao Jichang case, this clue will forever remain an unsolved mystery.
