The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

Following the words of his own words, the principal felt a guilty conscience in his heart.

He knew exactly how He Risheng violated Hou Peiting many years ago, but in order to cover up his mistakes, he did not hesitate to lie.

However, when he faced Leng Yu’s insightful eyes, he flinched and was also afraid, knowing that in the end the paper could not contain the fire, and the truth of things that had been concealed for so many years would be revealed by the police officers in front of him. .

He pushed his thick black glasses, his eyes drooping, and he said in a deep voice, "I know I can't hide this thing anymore, so let me tell you the truth. In fact, He Risheng hasn't gotten good with Hou Peiting at all. It has always been only his wishful thinking." After a pause, he sighed and said: "No, not wishful thinking, but he has been coveting other girls' beauty, constantly harassing her, and doing some obscene behavior."

When he said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Leng Yu. When he saw the sharp eyes of the other party projecting towards him, he couldn't help but shiver, and he didn't say any more.

Seeing that he was no longer speaking, Leng Yu asked, "In response to this kind of thing, you will not take any action to deal with when is born?"

When the principal asked her, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

After a long time, he said: "We are actually not sure whether this matter is true or false. Hou Peiting once complained to the class teacher that He Risheng harassed her, but we all agreed that He Risheng is a good teacher and would never do such a thing. , So I didn’t take what Hou Peiting said seriously. Moreover, Hou Peiting’s reputation at school is not particularly good. Compared with He Risheng, we believe that Hou Peiting might spread rumors and attempt to seduce her own teacher. Destroy Teacher He's reputation."

"So, just because of this, you gave up the in-depth investigation?" Leng Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

The headmaster lowered his eyes and did not dare to answer. He was tacitly acquiesced.

Seeing the principal sitting in front of her behaved so cowardly, Leng Yu felt an unknown flame in her heart, but was forced to suppress it, she asked coldly: "What happened later?"

The principal still lowered his eyes, not daring to look at each other with Leng Yu. He said: "Later, Hou Peiting never told us anything again, she... She no longer believed in the school, and we stopped. Pay attention to this matter. However, one day many months later, the head teacher discovered Hou Peiting's slightly raised abdomen. After several questions, it was revealed that she was pregnant and when the child's father was born."

Having said that, the principal was silent, and did not want to say any more, a trace of guilt and regret appeared on his face.

Leng Yu asked: "How do you know when the child's father was born?"

The principal sighed and said: "We have never believed what Hou Peiting said, so after discovering that she was pregnant, the head teacher proposed to take her to the hospital for a DNA test to confirm whose child she was pregnant. In fact, Hou Peiting was there. I haven’t had any boyfriends for a while, and there may be several ambiguous objects, but we are not sure who the child’s biological father is. When we got the DNA report check, we found that Hou Peiting did not deceive us. The child in her belly really It was He Risheng. The head teacher felt that things were not as simple as we thought, so he kept asking Hou Peiting and revealed that He Risheng sexually assaulted her many times and even raped her to become pregnant."

Leng Yu gave an "um" and said, "So, after DNA confirmation, you fully believe that He Risheng did such a brutal act on Hou Peiting?"

The principal nodded and said, "Yes."

Leng Yu leaned back in the chair and said, "Go on."

The principal said: "After we confirmed when the child was born, we found He Risheng and wanted to talk to him."

Leng Yu sneered and said, "Does this matter still need to be discussed? Shouldn't you take disciplinary action directly? Or shouldn't you directly send him to prison? In fact, after you learned about this, in order to protect The reputation of the school, you finally chose what day to stay, and then you sacrificed Hou Peiting, didn't you?"

The principal lowered his head and said: "Yes, we are only a procedural action when we find He Risheng to chat. He was a good teacher in the school back then, and the class he led has repeatedly achieved breakthroughs in academic performance. , The reputation is particularly strong. And many schools also dig at us for this reason, wanting He Risheng to come to their school to teach with a generous remuneration. In order to allow him to continue to stay in our school, we decided to let Hou Peiting call her parents, Let's talk to her parents."

Leng Yu said in a low voice: "It's not so much talking with her parents, it's better to say that you want to persuade her parents to let Hou Peiting drop out of school, or to transfer Hou Peiting to another school to prevent her from attending school. Shake out the scandalous He Risheng."

The principal admitted: "Yes, after all, we cannot give up Herisheng and the whole school for a female student."

Leng Yu turned to look at a transparent cupboard on the left hand side of the principal’s room, pointed to the various awards in the cupboard, and said, “I don’t think you gave up Hou Peiting for the reputation of the school. You did it for yourself. Back then, you thought. Won the honorary award for the best principal in the province, didn’t you? That’s why I didn’t hesitate to drive away the poor girl Hou Peiting. Hey, you’re pretty selfish. I was thinking if the school was suddenly at such a critical moment. When this scandal broke out, your honor awards would be wiped out, and you will probably have to take the blame and resign, right?"

Leng Yu's tone was aggressive and sharp, which made the principal unable to refute for a while.

She paused and continued: "You know now? It's because you handled this **** case rashly in the past, and it continued until today, more than ten years later, that He Risheng was killed. Although we still I haven't found out who killed He Risheng, but combined with our conversation just now, your current seat is also unstable."

The corner of Leng Yu's mouth was raised diagonally, and his eyes were fixed on him.

The principal smiled bitterly, and said: "The incident has reached this point, and it has also costed lives. I have to bear the greatest responsibility. I really can't blame anyone for this."

Leng Yu let out an "um".

At this time, she thought of Hou Zhongyang in her head, her eyes rolled, and she asked: "Have you met Hou Peiting's parents back then?"

The principal frowned and said: "I haven't seen it. Hou Peiting said that she has no parents and is an orphan. We once asked her where she lives now and if she has any other relatives, but she said nothing. Later, she said. It just told us that she wanted to drop out, and we didn't stop her. After all, this was the result we wanted to see. Until later, we never heard any news about her. No one knew whether she was alive or dead. "

No one knows whether it is life or death, which means that no one cares whether it is life or death. . .

Hou Peiting was walking around outside alone with her pregnant belly. The school did not take her in, and there was no home to go back to. When she was suffering outside by herself, no one reached out to her and let her fend for herself.

Where is the conscience of these people?

She hid many secrets in her heart and swallowed all the bitterness. In such a beautiful time, she was brutally destroyed by the adults who should protect her. In the future life, no one knows what else she has experienced.

When Leng Yu remembered Hou Peiting's tragic experience, he had a cold face and didn't want to say a word.

Looking at the headmaster sitting in front of her with a face and beastly heart, she felt a wave of nausea. If it weren't for solving the case, she really didn't want to stay here anymore.

After a long time, she sat up straight, pointed to the diary on the table, and asked: "Then do you know that after Hou Peiting dropped out of school, did He Risheng continue to take pictures of other girls?"

The principal shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Since the scandal between him and Hou Peiting broke out, he seems to be more cautious. Although he only took photos in secret, he no longer dared to do other harassing behaviors to other girls. However, , Another thing I think is that he has a special liking for Hou Peiting and can’t give much energy to other girls, so he just secretly photographed them, only to satisfy the hidden voyeuristic psychology in his heart. Where do I go Not only this diary was found in Risheng’s home, he also collected other diaries, and they also recorded some photos and notes of other girls that were secretly photographed, but those diaries are still very new, so I think he I only have sex, desire, and hope for Hou Peiting."

After listening to Leng Yu’s analysis, the principal said: “I’ve never heard other girls tell him again, so he really shouldn’t be sexually harassing them. But police officer, you know he’s Are the names of other girls under the camera?"

Leng Yu smiled slightly and said, "I know." As he said, he took out the small notebook he carried with him, tore off one of the pages and handed it to him.

This was in the bedroom of He Risheng's house. After she found other diaries, she quickly wrote down the names of other girls.

When the principal looked down at the names on the paper, he was familiar with the names of some girls, but strange to others.

Those familiar names are the names of outstanding girls in the school, and they are all the girls He Risheng has taught.

The principal pointed to the name of one of the girls and said, "I know this girl. She is an excellent student in school."

When Leng Yu looked down at one of the names pointed out by the principal, he said, "He Risheng has no special preferences when choosing his prey. However, I think most of these girls are female students he has coached. Otherwise, he wouldn't sneak a photo of them so easily, nor would he remember their names."

The principal agreed with Leng Yu's statement. That's because it is impossible to memorize the names of all the female students in the school.

The conversation between Leng Yu and the principal ends here. She knows that she can't ask anything from the principal. So she got up and left the principal's room, and after stepping out of the school gate, she drove to her next destination --- "Fenghua Nightclub".

Along the way, she kept turning back what the principal said in her head, and sighed secretly in her heart. However, she was thinking at the same time: It would be best if she could find out Hou Peiting's whereabouts in Fenghua Nightclub. If you can't find it, you have to waste more time and thoughts to search for the whereabouts of this woman in the database. However, there are thousands of women named Hou Peiting in China. It is not easy to find her quickly.

Even if she was found by herself, she might not be the murderer in this case.

Leng Yu drove the car to the door of the nightclub. After stopping the car, he hurried down and strode towards the nightclub.

When she stepped into the nightclub again, she happened to ran into the boss of the nightclub. She took out the phone directly from her trouser pocket, called up the photo of Hou Peiting when she was in high school, put it in front of him, and said, "Don’t bother you to invite me in. The box is out, you just need to tell me do you know her?"

The boss of the nightclub looked at the photos on Leng Yu's phone and was stunned.

Leng Yu frowned and said, "Tell me, is there a woman named Hou Peiting in your nightclub who came here to work?" His tone was impatient.

When the nightclub boss heard Hou Peiting's name, his face changed slightly and said, "She resigned a few weeks ago."

Resigned?

It means that she has actually been here.

Leng Yu's heart froze and asked, "Then do you know where she lives now? Or do you know any place where she lives?"

After hearing this, the boss of the nightclub shook his head and said: "I don't know. Hou Peiting is very mysterious. She hardly interacts with any colleague except for work, and she is very tight-lipped. No one knows her background. I won’t say a few words that have nothing to do with work. In addition to drinking and chatting with clients because of work, she has never seen a closer relationship with her clients. She is pure and self-love, even if she is with Hou Zhongyang and He Risheng, she has never let them touch herself further."

Just after Leng Yu heard him mention the names of "Hou Zhongyang" and "He Risheng", he immediately asked: "You said she had contact with Hou Zhongyang and He Risheng here?"

At this time, the nightclub boss showed a bit of bitterness on his face, and said, "Yes, as soon as I see these two men, Hou Peiting spends more time with them and is very diligent to accompany them. It seems that it is only right. They both have a soft spot."

After Leng Yu heard this, a flame of hope ignited in his heart.

If the two deceased were really killed by Hou Peiting, combined with her showing such enthusiasm for them, could it also mean that she was actually leading them step by step into her trap, and then found a chance to kill them?

"Besides, have you heard that she has other relatives?" Leng Yu asked again.

"No." The nightclub boss shook his head again, and then asked alertly: "Don't you suspect that she killed the two men? Hou Peiting, she wouldn't do such a thing..."

Leng Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you say that?"

The nightclub boss just shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know she won't, she definitely won't."

Leng Yu sneered and said, "Just because you like her in your heart, you think she is not a murderous demon? Or are you trying to shield her?"

When talking about this, Leng Yu raised his voice and fully expressed his suspicion.

The nightclub boss darkened his eyes and said, "If she gave me a chance to protect her, you would never hear anything about her from my mouth!"

After Leng Yu listened, his face slowed down, and he rarely smiled again.

Hou Peiting, did you ever know that no matter how much you have suffered, there is always someone who is willing to be your safe haven. However, if you really kill Hou Zhongyang and He Risheng by a poisonous man, no matter what tragedy you have encountered, we can only arrest you and bring you to justice.
