Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1382: Hunting Crime + Fireworks 7

Zhai Lanxin was still the receptionist. The school's records of Ren Xiaoxuan from ten years ago were still there, and some teachers still remembered her. After all, there was only one student missing in the school in the past ten years, and Ren Xiaoxuan was very talented in art. However, most of the teachers who still remembered her said that she was not very sociable.

Moreover, her homeroom teacher at that time specifically pointed out that because she transferred schools many times, she did not establish a close relationship with even a single classmate, so she seemed very lonely in school.

From this we can see that the head teacher is a very responsible person. It’s just that adolescent boys and girls are very uncontrollable in the eyes of these adults. Some of them are even more sensitive, and a few words from them may lead to something irreparable.

The class teacher originally thought that Ren Xiaoxuan disappeared because she couldn't stand being isolated and ridiculed by boys at school, so she ran away from home.

Xu Qin had read the relevant records from that year. This class teacher did provide a lot of clues within his ability, but he also ruled them out one by one.

However, since it has been confirmed that Ren Xiaoxuan was murdered, all those people who died at that time must be visited one by one and questioned again.

Teacher Zhai Lanxin said she could help. "I have some reputation among the alumni, especially now I am a teacher at my alma mater. I can't invite those celebrities, but I can contact others."

Xu Qin did not refuse. Those who were in the same art classroom with Ren Xiaoxuan back then had to go through it again. Moreover, those people were very young back then and perhaps they did not realize some things. But now that they have experience, they will definitely discover something when they look back.

Even contacting alumni currently in the city was not easy, so Xu Qin asked Zhai Lanxin to try to make appointments, while she and Shen Yi prepared to visit the teachers who had taught Ren Xiaoxuan and his classmates their professional courses.

This guy was also questioned that year, but no connection was found between him and Ren Xiaoxuan's disappearance. Later, he was asked to leave the school because he appeared to be drunk in class many times. Zhai Lanxin hesitated for a moment and said, "This teacher, it was rumored among the students that he liked to touch the girls."

"Because I haven't encountered it, and he didn't teach our graduating class, but I don't think the students are stupid, it's impossible for them to spread such things casually. In addition, he resigned within two years after the Ren Xiaoxuan incident, so I think he must have some problems."

When saying this, Zhai Lanxin seemed a little embarrassed and hesitant. Xu Qin began to feel a little disgusted with teacher Zhao Zipeng. Later, Li Han sent relevant information about Zhao Zipeng. Xu Qin found out that teacher Zhao Zipeng was not asked to leave the school because of his long-term alcoholism and bad teaching attitude, but was expelled from the school because students and parents reported that he was indecent.

After that, Zhao Zipeng changed his name to Zhao Tingtao and now runs a gallery.

Xu Qin and Shen Yi went to Zhao Tingtao's gallery, but did not see him in person at first. The front desk clerk downstairs politely stopped them and said with a smile that they were going to inform "Mr. Zhao". In fact, Xu Qin and Shen Yi waited for more than half an hour.

The works on display in the gallery are even more interesting, mostly various statues of young girls, and it seems that they have been traded quite a lot.

Xu Qin didn't know much about the trading of paintings, so she asked Shen Yi: "From my perspective as an outsider, these works look... Professor Shen, do you know under what circumstances these... would be traded so many times?"

Shen Yi was also confused, so when the receptionist wasn't looking over here, he quietly lifted the picture frames to check the backs of these works, and then came to a rather absurd but reliable conclusion: "It seems that these paintings have never been taken down after being hung up, and the dates on these labels are probably not the dates when the paintings were completed, but..."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked up along the stairs, his face very serious: "So, these red dots do not represent the number of times the work has been traded, but the people in the paintings are being traded!"

Xu Qin walked straight towards the receptionist who had received them with a stern face and said stiffly, "Contact Zhao Tingtao immediately. Zhao Zipeng was expelled from Jiangbei No. 8 Middle School for molesting high school students. Our Jiangbei Branch will take him back for questioning."

"By the way, Zhao Zipeng is the former name of your boss Zhao Tingtao."

The lady at the front desk was horrified. Even if she didn't understand the law, she knew what it meant to molest a high school student!

While the front desk clerk was calling Zhao Tingtao, Xu Qin and Shen Yi pretended to rush upstairs. In fact, they had already sent a message to the local police station, asking them to bring people to investigate the case of Zhao Tingtao organizing the sale of that thing.

Xu Qin and Shen Yi were trying to force their way in. When Zhao Tingtao received the call and heard the noise, he didn't have time to think too much and could only hurry downstairs.

Of course, he still had some hope in his heart, thinking that the police didn't know what he had done behind his back and that he had just been reported for what happened that year. Images of people wearing the uniform of No. 8 Middle School kept flashing through his mind, but he didn't expect that Xu Qin came this time for Ren Xiaoxuan, and by the way, was targeting him for what he was doing now.

Zhao Tingtao was of course very unhappy. He originally wanted to fool people, but the local police station came very quickly. Even though he saw that the situation was not good and secretly sent messages to his confidants to destroy some of the evidence, he had already been convicted of many crimes.

But after interrogation, it was found that Zhao Tingtao had indeed committed indecent acts, but they had nothing to do with Ren Xiaoxuan's disappearance and murder. However, Zhao Tingtao did mention the existence of a handsome boy who had helped Ren Xiaoxuan, but Zhao Tingtao rarely saw the boy and did not know his name or even what grade he was in.

He couldn't even remember what the other person looked like now. He only remembered that the other person interrupted his further actions against Ren Xiaoxuan with a basketball. And because he felt guilty at the time, he only remembered that the other person had a handsome appearance and seemed to be on the shorter side among high school boys.

Combined with a description in a diary disguised as a textbook among Ren Xiaoxuan's belongings brought back by Du Cheng and Jiang Feng, everyone knows that Ren Xiaoxuan was not only isolated and bullied by his classmates in No. 8 Middle School, and was almost molested by his teacher, but also that he had a crush on a boy.

Du Cheng, who still has few useful clues about Ren Xiaoxuan's murder, couldn't help but provoke Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, you can draw a picture of Fan Ruoxuan's failed plastic surgery from a surveillance video that didn't show her face. You can probably draw the boy that Ren Xiaoxuan had a crush on from the descriptions in Zhao Tingtao and Ren Xiaoxuan's diary."

Shen Yike was very calm. Although he did feel a little indebted to Du Cheng, he would not joke about official business. "I can try, but it is actually much more difficult to draw Ren Xiaoxuan's crush than to draw Fan Ruoxuan's face without a frontal face."

Xu Qin exhaled. Although she understood Du Cheng's behavior of making things difficult for Shen Yi, it was not appropriate at this time. "We still have one clue that we haven't confirmed yet, which is whether there is a construction site near No. 8 Middle School, or a place where news of construction has been released."
