Notes From A Criminal Investigation 5 Chapter 5

On February 22, before the Lantern Festival, all units in Jiangzhou City had already started work.

Xu Chongde came to the Jiangzhou Sports Bureau and asked to see the director of the bureau. He slammed the table in his office and said, "Du Yao is a state cadre of the Sports Bureau. He beat my grandson and an old man like me and was detained by the police station. I just want to ask if your unit should deal with Du Yao. I am an old man with no education, but I have eaten a few ounces of salt. You can't fool me."

Xu Chongde held up several photos of himself and his grandson Xu Hai with injuries on their faces, with a bruise on his forehead. He shouted, "Look, these are the photos of me and my grandson being beaten. Is there any justice in the world for a government official to beat someone up? If you don't do anything, it means officials are protecting each other. I will go to the municipal government to appeal for justice. If the municipal government doesn't do anything, I will go to the provincial government to appeal for justice."

Someone caused trouble on Xu Chongde's first day at work. The leaders of the Municipal Sports Bureau felt that it was bad luck, so they sent their most eloquent cadres to calm him down. After a long time of persuading him with kind words, they finally persuaded Xu Chongde to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Chongde threatened: "My Xiaohai was clearly seduced by that bad woman. It was that bad woman who asked Xiaohai to meet at the playground. You insist on saying it was r@pe. What a r@pe. If you don't handle it properly, hundreds of people from Xiangyang Brigade will go to the government to petition."

The leaders of the Municipal Sports Bureau knew that Yang Dudandan was almost r@ped by Xu Hai during her morning run, and they felt very sorry for Du Yao. They were originally prepared to follow the bottom line within the policy and only give a warning. Xu Chongde ran to the office building and made a scene. In order to avoid trouble, the Party Group of the Municipal Sports Bureau held a meeting to re-examine the handling plan.

After careful study, it was decided to give Du Yao a warning and report the matter to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department.

Du Yao went home and cried when she heard that her daughter was nearly r@ped and she was detained and punished. When her husband Yang Zhi came to comfort her, she angrily said, "Dandan is not even fourteen years old. Is it irresponsible for her to beat up that old ba5tard?"

After returning from abroad, Yang Zhi temporarily stopped caring about the Yangzhou Badminton Club and returned to Jiangzhou to accompany his wife and daughter. He put his finger to his mouth, hushed, and said, "You have to be rational. Dandan is outside. If she really listens to you and goes out to beat someone up, it will be troublesome."

Du Yao was still angry and said, "Dandan is only twelve years old. If she is beaten, then she is beaten. Who can do anything to her?"

Yang Zhi held his wife's hand tightly and said, "Don't say angry words. Xu Hai's family are all hooligans. We can't lower our standards and become like them."

Du Yao vented her anger in front of her husband for a while, and then her mood improved a little. She said, "Let Dandan transfer to another school."

"It's very difficult to get into any of the better primary schools in Yangzhou city because you need a household registration. What's more, Dandan is in the second semester of the sixth grade and basically cannot transfer to another school. If she persists for one semester, she can go to Yangzhou for junior high school." As a master-level athlete, Yang Zhi has very strong psychological qualities and is always calm in front of his wife.

After his wife calmed down, Yang Zhi came to the living room.

In the living room, Yang Dudandan was practicing baton seriously. The baton is a defensive weapon, a gift from Yang Zhi to his daughter. This gift can be used for self-defense, and more importantly, it can help Yang Dudandan get out of the psychological shadow of being violated through physical exercise. Yang Dudandan accepted the baton given by her father and actively began to learn new techniques. Although being violated is painful, she fought back effectively throughout the incident and finally escaped from the clutches of the evil, which left her with a window to heal her psychological trauma.

"In the second half of this year, you will transfer to Yangzhou to study in the first grade of junior high school, and your mother will follow. There is a sports center near the badminton hall, where you can learn kendo. There are differences in physical strength between men and women. When encountering danger, girls should try to escape and seek help. If there is no way to break away, it is best to hold a weapon and attack the opponent's weak points unexpectedly. After hitting the opponent, look for an opportunity to escape. This is the correct way to deal with it. There are three sentences to remember. The first sentence is that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; the second sentence is that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others; the third sentence is that if you encounter a bad guy, run as far as you can. If you can't run away, look for everything that can be used as a weapon and hit the bad guy's eyes, throat, crotch and other key parts."
 
Yang Zhi stood beside his daughter, took out the baton he often used, and taught his daughter stick techniques and the correct way to deal with danger.

The daughter was attacked while jogging in the campus in the morning and ran home almost naked. As a father, he pretended to be fine in front of his daughter, but the pain in his heart was unspeakable. After the training, Yang Zhi took the baton and went to Xiangyang Community alone, ready to find out the truth about Xu Hai. He went to the teahouse opposite the Mining Building and found a quiet environment. Ten minutes later, a man with slightly bald hair and a slightly protruding belly walked into the teahouse and said, "Old classmate, when did you come back?"

Yang Zhi didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point: "Tu Shan, I want to ask you something today. Do you know Xu Hai?"

Tu Shan is a junior high school teacher at the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangzhou College. He naturally knows the famous Xu Hai. He restrained his smile and said, "I heard about Dandan's story. I have been a teacher for so many years, and Xu Hai is the worst student. No doubt about it, he is the worst."

Yang Zhi said: "Xu Hai is studying in the attached middle school. Can you help me find out his basic situation, such as where his home is, his parents' situation and phone number?"

Tushan became cautious and advised: "Don't do anything stupid, it's not worth it."

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "What are you thinking? My daughter was molested. Xu Hai is young, so we can't hold him criminally responsible. He should at least pay for mental damages. I have to talk to the Xu family. We can't just let them bully us like this."

Tu Shan said: "I see, I know Xu Hai's situation, you really can't do anything rash."

After getting the basic information of Xu Hai and his family, Yang Zhi drank tea with his old classmate Tu Shan and reminisced for a while. At 11 o'clock, Tu Shan left and Yang Zhi walked to Xiangyang Community.

The atrium of Xiangyang Community was filled with banquets, and next to the banquets was a banner - Xiangyang Community Reunion Banquet. The banquet was attended by men, women, old and young, singing and laughing, and it was extremely lively. Outside the community, many residents stood aside to watch the excitement, and they envied the reunion banquet of Xiangyang Community.

"This is normal neighborhood relations. I wish our community could have this kind of reunion dinner someday. I've lived in the same unit for several years, but I still don't know my neighbor's name."

"Forget about other places. Most of the people in Xiangyang Community are from the original Xiangyang Brigade. They know each other well, so they can afford a reunion dinner. And we need the sponsorship of the boss."

The onlookers were talking to each other, and Yang Zhi obtained a lot of information.

Before the meeting started, a deputy director of Shengli Street in Jiangyang District spoke on behalf of the street office, followed by speeches by residents' representatives. There were two resident representatives, one was a female community cadre who was enthusiastic about public welfare, and the other was Xu Daguang, an entrepreneur who donated to many poor children.

When Yang Zhi heard Xu Daguang's name, he opened his mouth in surprise, and a duck egg could be stuffed into his mouth.

Xu Daguang was tall and strong, wearing a fur coat, and looked like a boss. He took the microphone, took out the prepared speech, read two sentences, felt uncomfortable, and threw away the speech, saying: "Xu Dapeng, that ba5tard, wrote two long articles for me, which were too long-winded. I am not an official, so I just said a few words. Secretary Zhang asked me to speak to flatter me. I know very well who I am, Xu Daguang. I can have what I have today, all thanks to the support of the big guys. Without the big guys, I, Xu Daguang, don't know where I would be eating sh!t. To be honest, the poor children I donated to are all from our Xu family. Five hundred years ago, we all had the same ancestor. Today, I make more money and it is my duty to help the Xu family. That's all I have to say, and I won't say anything more."

Xu Daguang's speech won warm applause. He handed the microphone to the community secretary Zhang and returned to the table. Yang Zhi's eyes followed Xu Daguang like precision-guided missiles. There was a silent and strong boy at Xu Daguang's table. This boy looked 70% similar to Xu Daguang and had a similar body shape. He must be Xu Hai.

Yang Zhi took out his camera, walked to the table, and took photos of Xu Hai from different angles. After taking the photos, he returned to the crowd. When he returned to the crowd, he was puzzled: "The residents of Xiangyang Community gathered together for a meal, and these people were drooling around them. Is it interesting?"

After finding Xu Hai and basically completing the task, Yang Zhi put away the camera and asked the middle-aged woman next to him: "Xu Daguang, who just spoke, has a son named Xu Hai, who is said to be a rapist. His son is such a person, why did he let Xu Daguang speak?"

The middle-aged woman looked at Xu Daguang with envy and said, "Xu Daguang has been out there for a few years and made a lot of money mining sand. There are many people with the surname Xu working in his company in Xiangyang Community, so who wouldn't give him some face? Besides, Xu Hai didn't r@pe the daughter of a neighbor in Xiangyang Community. A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow."

Another man answered, "A son is a son, and a father is a father. They should be counted separately."

Yang Zhi left Xiangyang Community and thought about the scene of Xu Daguang standing on the small stage and giving a speech. He felt a little sad and even more angry.

After returning home, his wife Du Yao said with a worried look on her face: "Dandan used to be very cheerful and carefree. When you went out just now, she played with the baton for a while, then went back to her room and was in a daze. She did nothing but sat at the desk like that. Can we find a way to transfer to another school earlier and leave this environment?"

Speaking of transferring schools, Yang Zhi looked embarrassed and said, "It's very difficult to get into key primary schools in the provincial capital, not to mention that key primary schools don't accept transfer students after the third grade. I asked my acquaintances, and they said that unless the core leaders of the district committee and district government sign, you can't transfer in. We both have acquaintances in the sports world, but we really don't have any connections in the government. That ba5tard is in the first grade of junior high school, and he has no intersection with Dandan. We endured until we graduated from primary school."

For ordinary families, it is extremely difficult to get into a key middle school in the provincial capital. Du Yao knew that her husband could not do this, so she sighed and felt helpless. She and her husband both achieved brilliant success in the sports field, but after retiring and entering society, they lost the stage for struggle and their lives began to slide down from the peak, and they have never stopped.

After waking up from a nap, Yang Zhi took his daughter to practice baton swinging again.

After the exercise, Yang Zhi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Dandan, let's go to see the movie Avatar today. I heard it's the biggest hit movie this year."
 
"Dad, I don't want to go." Yang Dudandan walked into the house holding a baton.

His daughter was in a bad mood, which made Yang Zhi lose interest in watching movies. He took a short break and went out alone. Golden Sky Street was posted with large advertis3m3nts of "Avatar", colorful and cheerful. Walking along Golden Sky Street for ten minutes, he arrived at Xiangyang Community. Yang Zhi didn't know what he could do to Xu Hai, but he was upset if he didn't do anything.

At the intersection, Yang Zhi sat down in the teahouse on the second floor. The view from the teahouse was good, and whenever Xu Hai came out of Xiangyang Community, he would most likely go through this intersection.

There was a motorcycle in the distance, and a helmeted rider was sitting on a flower stand a few meters away from the motorcycle. Yang Zhi was observing the intersection in the teahouse, and his eyes glanced at the motorcycle several times, but he didn't notice the rider.

At around 4pm, a lazy teenager appeared at the intersection. Yang Zhi put down his teacup and focused on observing the ba5tard who violated his daughter. From the teahouse, Xu Hai looked like an adult and was taller than most adults on the street.

Xu Hai dragged his feet and walked slowly towards Golden Sky Street. He did not walk on the sidewalk, but walked on the motorway with a dignified manner.

The motor roared, and the motorcycle rushed straight towards Xu Hai's back at a very fast speed. A young woman on the side of the road noticed the motorcycle and shouted to Xu Hai: "Motorcycle, motorcycle." After the girl reminded him, Xu Hai looked back at the motorcycle, turned around and jumped towards the sidewalk. The motorcycle almost brushed past Xu Hai's body, without stopping, and quickly disappeared on the street.

Yang Zhi was sitting in the teahouse and happened to see the entire process of the motorcycle rushing towards Xu Hai. The motorcycle went straight towards Xu Hai. If it weren't for the woman on the street reminding him, Xu Hai would definitely have been hit.

On the sidewalk, the woman pointed indignantly in the direction where the motorcycle disappeared and complained: "There are so many people on the street, why are you driving so fast? People's quality is getting worse and worse." She leaned over to Xu Hai and said: "Are you okay?"

In order to avoid the motorcycle, Xu Hai lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"You ba5tard, you think you're so great just because you have a motorcycle." Xu Hai looked up at the woman in front of him and couldn't take his eyes off her. The woman in front of him was in her thirties, with delicate makeup, holding a shopping bag, revealing her b r e a s t s, and her white cleavage swaying slightly.

The woman was Zhu Qi, the boss of the Mining Building. She was waiting for her boyfriend Wu Xinsheng to pick her up from the garage after shopping in a boutique. She saw a motorcycle coming and warned him. She found that the man in front of her was tall but had a childish face. He kept staring at her chest with lustful eyes. She covered her collar with her hands, stood up, and ignored the boy who fell to the ground.

A luxury car drove out of the garage and stopped on the side of the road. Zhu Qi opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. Wu Xinsheng very considerately fastened the seat belt for Zhu Qi and k!ssed Zhu Qi on the cheek.

As the car drove away, Xu Hai thought of the beautiful woman's exposed chest and swallowed.

All schools in Jiangzhou opened on March 1.

After molesting Yang Dudandan on the playground of Jiangzhou Experimental Primary School, Xu Hai's reputation became even worse, and he was completely isolated when he entered the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangzhou College. Xu Hai had also molested girls in primary school, and his classmates in the first grade of junior high school had more or less heard about the dirty things he had done in those days, and they had even discussed them enthusiastically in private.

What happened in the past happened in the past, and the students and parents did not feel it deeply. The r@pe of a girl jogging in the morning on campus is happening now, which is very different from the past. The female students and their parents have a strong sense of crisis. After school started, most girls in the first and second grades chose not to attend evening self-study. When school was over in the afternoon, parents who wanted to pick up their daughters lined up outside the school.

Many parents also chose to transfer their children to another school or class. Two or three days after the start of the school, most of the girls in Xu Hai's class left, leaving only three. Seeing that there were only three girls left in the class, the school simply transferred all three girls away. Four days after the start of the school, Xu Hai's first grade (third grade) class became the first all-boys class since the establishment of Jiangzhou College Affiliated Middle School. All female teachers who teach in the third grade try to dress conservatively and cover as much as possible.

There were no girls in the class, which made the male students extremely angry. They all stayed away from Xu Hai, regarded him as a plague god, and isolated this bold and reckless big guy. Xu Hai was extremely angry about this and challenged the male students in the class several times. The male students did not dare to fight back when they were bullied, and they fled at the sight of Xu Hai, and even refused to associate with Xu Hai. Xu Hai became the loneliest boy in the first grade (third grade) class.

In the first week of school, the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangzhou University held a principal's office meeting to study how to strengthen campus safety. After the meeting, the school's deputy principal of law went to the school to teach law courses to the first and second graders, focusing on the "Minor Protection Law" and how girls can protect themselves; the school security department increased the number of inspections of the junior high school teaching building; the school installed monitoring facilities in the junior high school teaching building and important nodes; each class held a parent meeting, emphasizing the education and pick-up of lower grade female students.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these measures were taken to guard against Xu Hai, the black sheep in the school.

There is a saying that goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days. The affiliated middle school is divided into a high school building and a junior high school building. The security department mainly focuses on the junior high school building, while the high school building is relatively relaxed.

On March 12, Arbor Day, the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangzhou University organized students to go to the hilltop in the suburbs. Along the way, red flags were flying, and students carried buckets and sang songs as they went to the hilltop in classes. Other classes had both boys and girls, but the first grade (third grade) class was all boys. This feature was not prominent in school, but it was very obvious in the suburbs.

Xu Hai was a head taller than the other students, and he looked lazy and yawned constantly. When they reached the hillside, the students formed groups of three and each found a pre-dug pit, straightened the saplings in the pit, covered the roots with soil, and then used buckets to fetch water and poured it on the soil. No student wanted to be in the same group with Xu Hai, and Xu Hai himself didn't want to hang out with these little brats, so he looked around absent-mindedly. He sat on the top of the slope, watching his silly classmates happily busying themselves.

Xu Hai soon lost his focus and began calculating his age: in two months he would be fourteen.

There is a clear dividing line between those before and after the age of fourteen: those under the age of fourteen are not criminally responsible and do not bear criminal responsibility for their crimes. Those who are between the ages of fourteen and sixteen and commit crimes such as intentional homicide, intentional injury resulting in serious injury or death, r@pe, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion, and poisoning shall bear criminal responsibility.

The reason why Xu Hai wanted to calculate his age was related to what happened a year ago. A year ago, Xu Hai was still in the sixth grade of elementary school. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall and his face was covered with acne. Every time after watching an action movie from Japan, he felt like there was a beast in his body, always wanting to jump out of his body and pounce on his female classmates. His interest in girls suddenly soared this year, and his mind was always filled with all kinds of white bodies. On an ordinary day in the second semester of the sixth grade, he had already left school. Because he forgot a DVD in the desk drawer, he remembered this after returning home, so he hurried back to school to get the DVD in the drawer. After taking the DVD and preparing to leave, he met a girl walking alone in the classroom aisle.

At this moment, he made a move that was totally unexpected, dragging the girl to the tool room at the corner. The scene he saw in the DVD washed over his body like a raging river, making his body swell up to the point of exploding. He hurriedly hugged the girl, reached into her clothes and ripped them off.

The girl cried and screamed so loudly that it alarmed a passing janitor.

The janitor ran into the tool room and dragged Xu Hai away. When Xu Hai was taken to the security department, he completely woke up and was shaking with fear. When he saw the people in police uniforms entering the security department, he wet his pants.

That day, Xu Daguang happened to be in Jiangzhou City. After hearing the news, he came to the security department. When he entered the door, he slapped Xu Hai twice, and then yelled at the security department: "What do you want to do? Do you understand the law? You are a bunch of legal illiterates. What is the relationship between my son and that girl? Have you figured it out?"

The security officer was very tough and said, "They are just ordinary classmates. Xu Hai is suspected of r@pe and will be sent to the detention center. How dare you yell here?"

"You are a legal illiterate. Xu Hai is only twelve years old this year. He is not criminally responsible for anything he does under the age of fourteen. You are still in the security department. You know nothing." Xu Daguang said to Xu Hai, "Are you two just dating?"

"We are just playing friends." Xu Hai was dazed and answered every question his father gave.

Xu Hai was not expecting that he was released from the police station that night without taking any responsibility. From that day on, he remembered what his father said: "No one under the age of 14 will be held criminally responsible for anything they do."

Xu Hai searched for related questions on his computer and found the same statement as his father. In addition, he remembered another statement made by his father: "I am in love with that girl."

"There are only two months of good days left." Xu Hai counted the days and no longer wanted to go camping with a bunch of little kids. He found an excuse, left the class, and took the bus back to the city alone.

After returning to the city, Xu Hai carried a basketball in a net bag to the basketball hall of Jiangzhou College. He was tall and loved playing basketball. He was very good at it. In the fifth grade, he joined the basketball training team of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. If it weren't for the "Zhuo Jia incident", he would be a regular basketball player of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School. After the "Zhuo Jia incident", he was scolded by the head coach and was expelled from the team in public. He left the basketball team in disgrace. Today is Arbor Day. Most of the students went out with the school teachers to plant trees. There were still students playing half-court in the basketball hall.

As soon as Xu Hai walked in, a senior student who was resting on the sidelines joked, "Xu Menqing is here. What's so fun about basketball? Double balls are more fun." Another boy said, "Xu Menqing, share your experience with us." The students on and off the court were all cheering.

Xu Hai was ridiculed by everyone and was very angry. The court was full of junior high school students and senior high school students, all of whom were tall and strong. Xu Hai was outnumbered and angry, but he had no way to fight back. He could only find an empty court and play basketball alone. Later, a group of junior high school students came into the basketball hall. Xu Hai wanted to play basketball with them, but after being ridiculed, he left in anger, and a nameless anger arose in his heart.

After dinner, Xu Hai entered the Affiliated Middle School of Jiangzhou College through an unattended side door. After strolling around the campus, he came to the high school teaching building. Xu Hai was a well-known figure in the junior high school and on the basketball court, but not so well-known in the high school. He was 1.8 meters tall and had an old face. After entering the teaching building, he looked like a high school student.

The senior high school teaching building was filled with a tense atmosphere before the college entrance examination. There were signs with countdowns to the college entrance examination and many slogans hanging in the corridors. Xu Hai often visited classrooms and was very experienced. He walked into the lecture hall on the east side and sat in a dark corner where he could observe the outside. Through this lecture hall, he could clearly see two slogans on the wall, "Time is gold if you can catch it, but it is flowing water if you can't catch it", and the other one was "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the flower of the top scholar appears every year". The corridor was very long and some slogans were not clear.

After the evening self-study class, Xu Hai had some time left, so he cleaned up the items in his schoolbag. After being hit on the head by Yang Dudandan in the playground, he summed up his experience and put ropes and tape in his schoolbag this time to control his prey. While sorting these items, his body became excited, his temperature rose, and he felt unbearable heat. His pants were pushed up and a big bulge appeared on his lower body.

Finally, the bell rang for the end of evening self-study get out of class, and a large group of people walked out of the classroom. The lights in the classroom were still on, probably because there were still students reviewing.
