Heaviness.
This was Gawain's intuition at this moment … The strange pressure that came out of nowhere made it difficult for him to maintain his usual calmness. As a result, he even opened another courseware by mistake.
For students who often attended Gawain's classes, it was inconceivable that Gawain would make a mistake in class. Considering that Teacher Gawain came to this class just as the bell rang, many students wondered if something had happened to Gawain.
However, Gawain soon regained his composure and gradually resumed his usual lecturing standards. The atmosphere of the class also gradually became livelier.
Only intentionally or unintentionally, Gawain's honest eyes would look at the last seat near the window — after much difficulty, the class was finally over.
This was one of the few classes that Gawain felt was so long ever since he became a teacher.
The moment the bell rang, Gawain made sure to come into contact with the boy who had come to his class for the third time — out of curiosity, when Luoqiu appeared for the first time and abruptly left after asking him a question, Gawain searched for Luoqiu's information in the teaching area.
He couldn't find any information about Luoqiu — or rather, the University of Political Science and Law didn't even have such a student.
After that, he appeared for the second time. Today … he appeared for the third time.
Every time he appeared, he was silent. During the class, he just watched quietly without asking any questions … His gaze was always fixed.
Gawain took a light breath and walked down from the podium. Then, he stepped on the stairs of the classroom and walked toward the right rear window.
'He's still here and hasn't left …' Gawain thought to himself.
"Teacher Gawain, I still don't understand the case you mentioned just now."
Suddenly, when he passed by a seat, a girl stood up with a sweet smile and naturally blocked Gawain's view … Gawain's line of sight was helplessly blocked by this girl.
However, his long-time self-cultivation prevented him from pushing people away. "Student, I'll answer your question later."
It only took a few seconds.
When Gawain's gaze passed the girl and looked at the last seat again, Gawain lost sight of Luoqiu again. He abruptly turned to look at the back door of the classroom, but he didn't see the back of the person. It was impossible for the person to disappear in just a few seconds.
Even if he was running, it was impossible for such a big movement to be completely silent.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?" the student asked curiously, following Gawain's gaze.
Gawain opened his mouth. "Just now … the boy sitting in that seat …"
"Teacher, did you see wrongly? There's no one here?"
Nothing?
The same answer as last time?
It was as if only he could see it … Gawain took a deep breath and pinched the space between his eyebrows. "Maybe … I didn't sleep well last night. My vision is blurry."
Could it be that he was really seeing an illusion?
Gawain fell silent for a moment, but he had a strong feeling that he would still see those eyes in the next class … It was as if those eyes were always by his side.
"I suddenly remembered something." Gawain quickly said, "If there's anything you don't understand, can you leave a message in my mailbox? I'll find time to answer your questions later. "
"Teacher Gao?"
Gawain didn't say a word and hurriedly left the classroom … Lecturer Gawain was acting so abnormally. Something must have happened in his life. The students discussed in low voices.
…
He walked into the washroom of the office building used by the tutors and professors … The teachers moved around a lot during class, so there was no one in the washroom at the moment.
Gawain washed his face in front of the sink. He looked up. His face was wet, and the hair stuck together in front of his forehead cut his eyebrows into several lines … Gawain suddenly turned around.
It was as if he could feel that peculiar gaze all the time.
But there was nothing behind him — there was nothing in the mirror before he turned around — he was just sensitive to a degree beyond his imagination.
Gawain sighed, leaned against the sink, and lowered his head. "Loki … I saw your child."
He was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, someone walked into the washroom and took the initiative to greet him.
"Teacher … Teacher Gao?"
Gawain turned around and saw an old man in his fifties or sixties. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, but his expression was inexplicably haggard. "Professor … Ouyang?"
Speaking of this Professor Ouyang, he had a lot to do with the school's scandal a few months ago — this famous professor was exposed one day to have affairs with many female students. He even coerced and bribed several female students to do some immoral things by controlling their graduation theses, promotion opportunities, and so on.
The school naturally couldn't tolerate this kind of thing — the matter couldn't be suppressed at all, and the school had already suspended Professor Ouyang from his position long ago.
"Professor, how have you been recently?" Gawain greeted him amiably.
Professor Ouyang smiled bitterly, walked in, and sighed. "Little Gao, you're the only one who still calls me professor when you see me. They all avoid me when they see me. I regret that I shouldn't have … "
It was obvious that this old professor was really regretful. His lifelong reputation was ruined just like that … Gawain didn't have much to say to comfort him. "Professor, why did you come back today?"
"The school hopes that I can resign voluntarily." Professor Ouyang looked bitter. "Consider it as leaving me with the last bit of face. I'm here today to go through the procedures. "
"Professor, do you have any plans in the future?"
"I don't think too much about it for now. Maybe I'll go back to my hometown for a while." Professor Ouyang still couldn't hide the shame on his face. He looked at Gawain and said earnestly, "Little Gao, if there's a chance in the future, you don't mind such a terrible guy like me. Let's contact each other."
"Of course." Gawain smiled. "No matter what, Professor, when you were still a forensic doctor in the bureau, your professional ability was still recognized. I won't forget how many cases you've helped us solve. "
Professor Ouyang suddenly smiled bitterly. "I may not be as good as you think. I'm old and muddle-headed. When I did things in the past, I was also muddle-headed … Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for my previous job."
"Professor?" Gawain frowned.
Professor Ouyang shook his head. "Let's not talk about it … Little Gao, please don't make any mistakes. Some mistakes can't be turned back once you make them."
"Okay, Professor." Gawain nodded and smiled.
He wasn't a hothead who had just entered society. Professor Ouyang also knew that he couldn't teach Gawain anything. He was just talking about his personal pain as a way to vent.
Professor Ouyang only came in to wash his hands. After a brief chat with Gawain, he left rather dejectedly.
When Gawain came out of the bathroom again, he had returned to his calm, elegant, and graceful appearance as Lecturer Gawain of the University of Political Science and Law.
…
…
Zhao Le's house was rented in an old neighborhood.
Most of the buildings in this type of neighborhood were more than twenty years old. They were about six or seven stories high. There was no elevator to enter the house — Zhao Gao's house was on the sixth floor.
He ran all the way up the stairs. When he reached the door of his house, he was already sweating profusely.
Zhao Le hurriedly took out the key to open the door and walked into the house. At this time, two men were sitting in the living room. Zhao Le was suddenly startled.
"Little Le, you're back." At this time, a woman in her forties hurried to Zhao Le's side. "These two are Officer Lin and Officer Wang. They're here to ask about something … But your sister's mood may not be too good. "
Zhao Le's expression became anxious when he heard this. After hurriedly glancing at the two officers sitting on the old sofa, he lowered his head and quickly walked into the bedroom inside.
The middle-aged woman was also helpless at this time. She could only say, "Officers, please don't blame him. Little Le is usually very polite, but when it comes to his sister's matters, Little Le will be very nervous … I've already told you about Xiaoqin's matter. You see …"
"It's okay, we understand." Officer Lin … Lin Feng looked at the woman rather helplessly at this time.
This woman wasn't a member of this family. She was just a neighbor. She usually took pity on Zhang Xiaoqin and took some time out to take care of her.
"Then … if there's nothing else, I'll go home first. My family is coming back, I have to go back to cook. "
Seeing this woman's intention to leave and not get involved, Lin Feng quickly waved his hand and let this neighbor aunt leave … Lin Feng then sighed.
"Officer Lin, I didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoqin once tried to commit suicide." The companion next to him frowned at this time. "We just mentioned Wang Liang's matter, but Zhang Xiaoqin's mood was very agitated. I think it's difficult for us to get any information in a short time. "
"Let's wait and see. Now Zhang Xiaoqin's younger brother Zhao Le is back, maybe we can get some information." Lin Feng thought for a while and said.
Officer Wang at this time curiously said, "Speaking of which, it's strange that they don't have the same surname."
"There's nothing strange about that." Lin Feng said casually, "I heard the auntie say that the parents of this pair of siblings divorced when they were young and they each had their own surname. Then Zhao Le came here from the county to study, and lived with Zhang Xiaoqin. "
Saying this, Lin Feng stood up and walked to the door of the bedroom, looking in … the door wasn't completely closed.
In the room, there was a woman sitting in a wheelchair. At this moment, her face was pale and she covered her ears. She looked rather agitated, while Zhao Le was saying something softly by the side.
Seeing this, Zhao Le walked over with a cold face and directly closed the door of the bedroom.
Lin Feng had no choice but to sit back on the sofa.
After nearly an hour, Zhao Le came out of the bedroom with a gloomy face … Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately took out his ID card, "Zhao Le, I'm sorry to disturb you. But we do come for investigation, and we mean no harm, please understand … We also apologize for scaring your sister. "
Zhao Le frowned, "You … What are you doing in my house?"
"It's like this. We wanted to investigate Wang Liang from your sister. However, when your sister heard Wang Liang's name, she became very agitated. You see … "Lin Feng thought.
Zhao Le snorted, "That bastard caused my sister to be like this, how can she not be agitated!"
Lin Feng could only say, "Zhao Le, regarding your sister, we're also sorry … But this investigation still has to continue. I hope you can cooperate with us, so we won't disturb your sister. "
"I don't know about that bastard! My sister doesn't know either! You can go, don't disturb us anymore! " Zhao Le said in a deep voice, "My sister finally calmed down, I don't want her to fall ill again … Please understand!"
"Wang Liang is dead." Lin Feng suddenly said.
Zhao Le was startled, "Dead, dead?"
Lin Feng nodded, "I believe you've heard about the dismembered corpse case the day before yesterday? We have confirmed the identity of the deceased is Wang Liang … But we don't know much about Wang Liang, so we hope you can provide us with some clues. "
"Good death! This kind of scum, good death! " Zhao Le sneered, "This kind of scum, if you don't take him in, the heavens will. Sure enough, the heavens have a good cycle! Good death! "
Lin Feng frowned, "Student Zhao Le, we know you're a student of the Politics and Law Department … I think this kind of talk is still a bit inappropriate for you."
"The law has long been rotten!" Zhao Le snorted, "This scum, how many people have he harmed? But what about you? Saying there's not enough evidence, you didn't even set up a case, allowing him to live freely outside! Now that he's dead, you want to help him find his murderer? "
"The law is the law." Lin Feng frowned, "Zhao Le, I hope you can calm down, and I also hope that these are just your words in a moment of anger … Otherwise, this is disrespectful to your studies."
"The law is the law, but the law should also be the lowest line of morality!" Zhao Le was agitated, "If you can't even protect this bottom line, then what kind of law is it! You're not welcome here, leave! Leave!! "
As Zhao Le spoke, he opened the door and stared at the two like an angry lion.
Officer Wang frowned, he was also a little angry … Or rather, his personality was a little fiery, "Zhao Le, I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities as a citizen and cooperate with us!"
"What! You want to enforce the law violently? Sure! Come on!! Let me see what kind of law you have! "Zhao Le said hatefully," I also want to learn the law, you can try it! "
"You …" Officer Wang's eyes widened.
At this time, Lin Feng stretched out his hand and suppressed his colleague's anger. At the same time, he put on a smile and said, "It seems that we came at a bad time today … How about this, I'll leave you a contact number. If you think of anything, you can contact me at any time."
Lin Feng quickly wrote down his phone number and pulled his colleague out of the door. When he left, he stopped and said seriously, "The law should indeed be the lowest line of morality, but this bottom line is not a dam, but a human wall … We are the human wall that guards this bottom line … As for your sister's matter, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Lin Feng closed the door and didn't look at Zhao Le's expression.
He had experienced a lot of similar things over the years, so he naturally knew the pain of some victims' family members who had nowhere to vent their resentment.
Downstairs, Officer Wang thought that he was indeed a little agitated, "Officer Lin, my bad temper is indeed a little … However, it's difficult for us to work with Zhao Le's uncooperative behavior."
"What else can we do? Can we take him back?" Lin Feng shook his head, "We're police, not gangsters. Now, we can only wait and see if Zhao Le can figure it out. "
As he said, a figure suddenly rushed out from the stairs … It was Zhao Le. "Wait a minute."
The two turned around.
Zhao Le frowned and gritted his teeth, "I'll cooperate with you … But find a place, not in my house."
