As soon as Ke Lan returned to school, the student team on duty asked him to call home. Ke Lan didn't dare to delay. He asked for Qu Sen's phone and dialed his home number. However, no one picked up.
He called his second aunt, third aunt, and uncle's house. Finally, his aunt picked up. Ke Lan panicked when he heard the call.
Ke Lan's mother was in a car accident.
There was a family in the village who wanted to marry off their daughter. The groom's family was rich, so they held a banquet in a restaurant in the city. After the banquet, the groom had hired a big guest to send the guests home. However, Ke Lan's mother wanted to take the opportunity to buy summer clothes for Ke Lan's grandmother. She didn't take a car and went to the mall.
However, she was hit by a car on the way back.
The driver drove away. A kind person called 120. When the ambulance arrived, Ke Lan's mother was already unconscious.
When she arrived at the hospital, the initial diagnosis was that she had multiple fractures, a ruptured spleen, and cerebral hemorrhage. She was in the emergency room for more than six hours before she was transferred to the ICU.
After three days in the ICU, including the cost of the emergency treatment, it reached a shocking amount of more than 200,000 yuan.
His relatives took out all their savings and borrowed some money from their friends and relatives before they managed to scrape together the money for the emergency treatment and the ICU. Then, they received a notice from the hospital that they needed to prepare at least 100,000 yuan. Otherwise, it would be difficult to keep her alive. Even if she was saved, her recovery wouldn't be very optimistic.
His relatives didn't want to inform Ke Lan, who was studying in the military academy, but when they heard that they needed more than 100,000 yuan, they had no choice. They were all rural families. It was already considered a lot for a family to have tens of thousands of yuan in savings. The previous 200,000 yuan had already been used up by their relatives. Where could they get more than 100,000 yuan?
However, if they didn't have the money, Ke Lan's mother would be in trouble. In this situation, even if they didn't want to, they had to inform Ke Lan, their son.
While Ke Lan was frantic, Qu Sen had already taken the bank card out of school. He still had more than 34,000 yuan in his card. Without thinking, he took out all the 34,000 yuan in round figures.
When Qu Sen handed the money to Ke Lan, the other members of the 510 didn't stay idle either. They all ran to the bank to withdraw money. In addition, a few enthusiastic students in the student team pooled together a few hundred yuan. In the end, they pooled together more than eighty thousand yuan for Ke Lan.
Ke Lan knew that any words of gratitude at this time were superfluous. She silently remembered this kindness and stepped on the train home.
A few days later, everyone received news that Ke Lan's mother's condition had worsened again. After she came out of the emergency room, the eighty thousand yuan that Ke Lan had brought back was gone.
At this time, Jiang Mei reported Ke Lan's situation to the school. The school organized a voluntary donation. Although there wasn't a large donation this time, the school-wide base was there. In one and a half days, they raised more than 110,000 yuan, nearly 120,000 yuan. The school filled in another sum of 200,000 yuan and transferred the money to Ke Lan through a wire transfer.
During this donation drive, Qu Sen once again took out all the round figures in his card. After learning from Ke Lan that her mother's condition had finally stabilized, Qu Sen looked at the thirty yuan plus a small change in his card and helplessly scratched the back of his head.
Qu Sen thought, "The money is gone, and people are happy. Saving her is better than anything else."
This time, Qu Sen could be considered to be indignant. When he heard Lady Zhou's request for him to treat her to a meal over the phone, he directly told her, "If you want me to treat you to a meal, I can. But first, you have to pay for the return taxi fare. Also, you have to find a place where the total cost can't exceed 30 yuan and where you can pay by card. "
Zhou Li and Li Ying's task as "helpers" at the Provincial Department had already ended. They originally wanted to call Qu Sen to come out and play, but when they heard Qu Sen say that he had no money, they immediately guessed the reason.
The school organized a donation to Ke Lan, so the graduate students were naturally within the scope of the notice. Because the two of them knew Ke Lan, they each donated a month's worth of salary.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Li sighed to Li Ying and said, "That's enough. That surnamed Qu donated all his money. He's poor now. Let's go back to school."
"If you give his bonus to him, then he'll have the money to treat us to a meal." Li Ying said with a chuckle.
Solving a murder case was an iron law in the police system. Qi Changchun's 1986 case was treated as an old case. In order to collect clues, the local police gradually increased the reward to 50,000 yuan.
Now that the case was solved, the reward naturally belonged to Zhou Li, Li Ying, and Qu Sen, who provided the key clues and evidence. After the money was transferred through the police system, the city bureau probably felt that it wasn't easy to split 50,000 yuan between the three of them, so they added another 10,000 yuan to make a total of 60,000 yuan.
Zhou Li had already given the 20,000 yuan to Li Ying. The 20,000 yuan that belonged to Qu Sen was still in Zhou Li's card.
"That's enough!" Zhou Li said in a bad mood. He raised his hand to signal an empty taxi not far away and said, "Do you believe that he would dare to send the money to Ke Lan as soon as I give it to him?"
"Aiyo, you haven't even done anything yet, and you're already a housekeeper?" Li Ying wrinkled her nose and said in a strange tone.
"Are you stupid? He donated all the money. In the future, when we go out to eat, you'll have to pay for it!" Zhou Li's reasoning was very good.
"Okay, okay, you're always right." Li Ying looked like she was too lazy to argue with Lady Zhou.
During dinner on the third floor of the cafeteria, Qu Sen was shocked when he saw Zhou Li put a bunch of money in front of him. He looked down at the money on the table and then looked up at Lady Zhou sitting across from him. He couldn't say a word.
"This one thousand yuan is your pocket money until the end of the semester. Don't spend it recklessly!" Lady Zhou acted like a parent and ignored Qu Sen's shocked face. She added, "Oh right, hurry up and throw away your five yuan a box of crappy cigarettes. This month's allowance was just given out. What are you doing with it?"
Qu Sen said in his heart, "Nonsense, the five hundred yuan is all spent on cigarettes. What's there to buy soap, toothpaste, and the like?" However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. At the same time, he pushed the ten one hundred yuan bills back in front of Zhou Li.
Qu Sen was a pure man. Spending a woman's allowance was something he would never do even if he was beaten to death.
"What, you think it's too little?" Lady Zhou's face drooped.
"No need, thank you." Qu Sen replied.
"Aiya, why are you being so pretentious? Hurry up and buy something to eat. I'm hungry." Li Ying saw that Zhou Li was about to flip out. She quickly grabbed the money and stuffed it back into Qu Sen's hands.
"There's really no need. I still have four hundred yuan in my pocket. It's enough to spend." Qu Sen once again returned Zhou Li's one thousand yuan to her. He took out the monthly allowance from his pocket that he had just received last night.
"Hey, you're excited, aren't you?" Zhou Li glared. Just as she was about to say something, the phone in her pocket rang. She swallowed the rest of her words. She glared at Qu Sen and took out her phone to answer.
"Oh, ah ~ You're here. Now? Okay. " Lady Zhou stammered a few words into the phone. After hanging up the phone, her imposing manner had completely disappeared. She looked at Qu Sen and Li Ying and said somewhat dejectedly, "Let's go. Someone's taking care of our meals tonight."
After she finished speaking, she got up and walked towards the stairs.
The person taking care of their meals was Jiang Mei. However, this meal clearly wasn't that good. The reason was that she had finally found out about the three's previous actions.
Logically speaking, Qu Sen and the other two's resourcefulness and bravery that night when they obtained Qi Changchun's fingerprints and hair were undoubtedly meritorious to the police force.
It was precisely because of this meritorious service that the uncles selectively ignored the three's act of impersonating police officers and breaking into the house to obtain evidence (theft).
However, the actions of Qu Sen and the other two's actions were not very praiseworthy for the school. After all, solving cases was the police's job. This was completely different from when the three met the kidnappers by chance and bravely fought against them.
Encountering the kidnappers was an accident. The three's bravery was indeed praiseworthy. However, when it came to solving cases, even if you had clues, you should hand it over to the police to handle. Even if you took ten thousand steps back, you shouldn't privately investigate.
However, no matter what, the consequences of the three's actions were good. The police also sent a letter of commendation. In the end, after the school's leaders repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, they came to the conclusion that they would neither praise nor criticize them. They would just treat it as if nothing had happened.
This was even before the police told the school the details of the three's actions. They only said that the school's two students, Zhou Li and Li Ying, were helping out in the technical department when they first discovered the suspect. Then, with the participation of student Qu Sen, they acted together and provided the police with key evidence.
If the school found out that the three of them pretended to be police officers in the middle of the night and secretly went to someone's house to "steal things", the three of them would definitely be punished.
Although the school didn't overly care about the details of the evidence the three of them obtained, Jiang Mei tried to find a way to understand it after she found out.
