deep sin

Chapter 79

According to the information provided by Fang Da, although Fang Wan is only a child in the fourth grade of elementary school, his parents enroll in a lot of cram schools on weekdays.

"Children nowadays are really hard-working. The burden is reduced by the school and the burden is increased by the parents. This Fang Wan is only in the fourth grade of elementary school, and he has already started to attend the English extracurricular class in the first grade of junior high school!" Arrived at the place where Fang Wan attended cram school , just met a wave of sending children to class, the sidewalk and roadside in front of the cram school were crowded with cars and people who came to send their children, An Changpu had to temporarily park the car across the road, Looking sideways at the bustling crowd opposite, I couldn't help but feel a little incredible.

"It's said that they are afraid that their children will lose at the starting line. In the final analysis, some parents are just too naive." Qin Ruonan shook his head, "Whether people or animals, there has never been absolute fairness. From the moment a child is born, the innate Many acquired factors have already drawn the starting line in front of them into an arc, which cannot be recovered after a few days of cram school. Then again, children who are willing to study hard can learn very well in class. Well, if you don’t work hard in class, if you put them in cram school, it’s just spending money to let them continue to sneak away.”

"Although your opinion sounds a bit negative, there is some truth to it!" An Changpu rubbed his chin, agreeing with Qin Ruonan's opinion.

After waiting for a while, the parents who dropped off their children left one after another, and the entrance of the cram school was quiet again. Only then did An Changpu and Qin Ruonan get out of the car and went to the opposite side of the road, opened the door and entered the cram school.

This is a large-scale cram school. The tutoring content is divided into categories and the grade span is also very large. As soon as you enter the door, you will find a spacious information desk. Several young people in uniform clothes are sitting in the information desk. A scrolling screen is hung above the information desk. It shows the start time and teachers of each cram school.

Seeing someone coming in, they were still two adults, a consultant stood up immediately, showing a trademark smile, first she quickly examined the two people who walked in front of her, and seemed to think that the age of the two people was not the same He came here to consult and apply for classes for his children, so he tentatively asked: "Hi, do you need any help? Are you here for consultation for relatives, or are you here to apply for a job?"

As she spoke, she put her hand on the position next to the information desk where the advertisement for recruiting teachers was posted.

"None." An Changpu took out his ID and handed it to the consultant. "We would like to know about a student named Fang Wan from your school. He is a 10-year-old boy."

The "Fang Wan" consultant looked at An Changpu's certificate, returned it to him politely, and then took out a few rosters from under the consultation desk, and began to rummage according to the gender and age given by An Changpu. When the other people behind her saw that the police were coming to investigate the situation, they were also full of curiosity and kept looking in their direction, but they didn't have the nerve to ask directly.

After a while, the consultant who received them found Fang Wan's name. She scratched the form with her finger, looked up and said to the two: "We are only responsible for registration and class assignment here. If you want to know the specific situation , let me help you get in touch with his cram school teacher. This Fang Wan’s elementary school Chinese and mathematics, and junior high school English preparatory classes are all registered. I just checked the timetable and there are two teachers who are in class now. Otherwise, you Chat with the other two first, or wait?"

"Please check which class Fang Wan signed up for on Monday night has a course schedule, and whether the teacher is free now." Qin Ruonan made a request to the consultant.

The consultant understood, nodded, and checked the timetable again. He grabbed the phone at hand and dialed a few short internal numbers, and the answer was answered quickly.

"Hello, I'm the information desk. Is Teacher Xu there? Oh, okay, then tell her not to leave. Wait a minute. There are two people looking for her, so go up immediately."

The consultant put down the phone and pointed to the stairs beside the consultation desk: "That day, Fang Wan had a math cram school, and the teacher Xu who was leading the class was going to eat, but I stopped him. Go up quickly, go upstairs and turn right. Door."

Qin Ruonan thanked the counselor, followed An Changpu up the stairs, turned right and found the third door, on which was written "Primary One to Five Lounges".

An Changpu raised his hand and knocked on the door, and someone in the room responded immediately, and the two of them pushed the door in. The lounge was not too big, with a row of wardrobes standing by the wall. There was no desk in the room, only a few sofas and Coffee table, there are only three people in the lounge at the moment, one is standing by the window and walking around on the phone, one is rummaging in front of the locker, and the other is sitting on the sofa, reading a magazine with a mirror on his nose.

"Which one is Teacher Xu?" An Changpu asked.

The female teacher in front of the locker who seemed to be in her early forties looked back at them and said, "I am."

With the previous call from the information desk, she was not surprised that someone came looking for her, but seeing An Changpu and Qin Ruonan's age group, from the expression of this teacher Xu, it was obvious that she had the same problem as the front desk consultant. Confuse.

Qin Ruonan briefly explained the purpose of his visit to her. After listening to Teacher Xu, he was very cooperative. Without saying a word, he closed his locker and brought the two of them to the sofa to sit down.

"Don't mind, the conditions here are just like this. Because there are no fixed teachers, they are all hired from outside. They come when there are classes and leave when there are no classes. Therefore, we didn't buy any desks and chairs for them. Let's make do with it. Let's go!" Because there was no seat facing each other, Teacher Xu sat on a single sofa, twisted his body and said to the two policemen sitting on the double sofa next to him.

Qin Ruonan and An Changpu expressed that they didn't mind. After they revealed their identities to Teacher Xu just now, the teacher who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine immediately hid out of the room. Apart from them, only The remaining one was still concentrating on the phone. Teacher Xu asked if he wanted to avoid that person too, and got a negative answer. After all, the purpose of coming here is to conduct normal inquiries and investigations. There is nothing related to confidentiality. Excessive mobilization of teachers and crowds.

Hearing that the students in her cram school were missing, Teacher Xu looked a little worried. She repeatedly asked whether it was kidnapping or trafficking, and her level of concern was not much lower than that of Fang Da and Qian Yuling.

"That's right. I'm teaching math remedial classes here. My job is as a math teacher in another elementary school. I'm also the head teacher. You just said that Fang Wan is missing. I'm a little worried. There are a lot of news about missing children on TV and on the Internet. , It's too scary, so I want to ask, if our city C is not peaceful recently, then I have to remind the parents of the students in my class as soon as possible!" Teacher Xu seems to be a very strict person, and Fang Wan's disappearance was short-lived. There are many other aspects that come to mind.

Qin Ruonan had no choice but to tell her that the nature of this incident needs further investigation, and what needs to be clarified now is Fang Wan's last whereabouts before he disappeared.

"Normally, he should have come to class that day, but he didn't come." Teacher Xu replied affirmatively.

"Don't you need to confirm again? After all, four days have passed, and the last time Fang Wan was seen is very important to us." Her answer without thinking makes people unable to help but doubt the answer The accuracy, An Changpu suggested that Teacher Xu check it again.

Teacher Xu got up and went to his locker just now to take out a roll call, flipped through it and said to An Changpu: "I understand your request, but I'm sure about this, because I only come here a week Two nights of part-time work, one is on Monday, the other is today and Friday. Fang Wan’s class is taught by me since the first grade of elementary school mathematics. The child has been in this class since the second grade. recognize him."

As she said that, she found the roll call record on Monday night and handed it to An Changpu and Qin Ruonan: "Look, he really didn't come, I remember correctly."

An Changpu finally took a look and handed it to Qin Ruonan. After reading it, Qin Ruonan turned a few pages forward, then raised his head to look at Teacher Xu, and asked, "Fang Wan misses a lot of classes?"

"There are a lot of them. They spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, but this kid spends almost two days fishing in class and three days drying nets!" Mr. Xu shook his head resentfully, "I also hinted His parents, his father, said that if the child rejects the cram school and doesn’t like to come, it’s useless to force it, but his father insists that the cram school is helpful, so I can’t say anything more. Talking too much is tantamount to cutting off the boss’s fortune. Lu, it doesn’t affect me well either.”

"Will Fang Wan's skipping class be notified to the parents, and will we communicate with them?" An Changpu asked.

Teacher Xu smiled wryly: "The rule here is that I give the attendance sheet to the people in the cram school. Whether I contact the parents or not is up to them to do it. As a teacher, I only give lectures and rarely interfere with other things. It’s to earn extra money and work for others. It’s not the same feeling as being in my own unit. Not only me, but everyone is better at doing more than doing less. I’ve met Fang Wan’s father a few times, and he occasionally comes to pick up the children , the way he listened to him, probably because he didn't know about his son's truancy."

"Besides his father, have you seen anyone else in his family? Has his stepmother come to pick him up from school?"

"Stepmother? Fang Wan is a child of a divorced family?" Teacher Xu was startled at first, and then changed to a suddenly realized expression, "That's no wonder! No wonder I only see his father coming over occasionally after class. Didn't see any other adults in his family!"

Qin Ruonan frowned, his eyes fell on the blank frame behind Wan's name on the top of Monday's attendance sheet, thinking silently in his heart, Fang Wan obviously lied about going to the cram school, but he didn't come here, what is it? Where did you go?
