Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 11 - 7: 68 Points!
Did Chen Wei commit a cri that led to his murder out of revenge?
Chen Changchun’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t explain this sentence. He spoke:
"I don’t know. Let’s first report the findings."
Hearing this.
Liu Jin could only suppress his speculation and, after organizing his thoughts, he slowly said:
"Chen Wei, aged 23, educated up to middle school, dropped out during high school."
"According to the stages of life, the police divided his life into two parts: The first part consists of his ti as a student at Yanhuang Primary School, No. 27 Middle School, and he attended No. 17 Middle School for a year."
"The second part is his life from dropping out of school until now..."
A very ordinary life.
The majority of people are like this, no more than school and society.
It’s just that...
"Hold on."
While listening and observing, Chen Changchun suddenly frowned, interrupted Liu Jin as he looked up.
"Yanhuang Primary School? And No. 27 Middle School!?"
Liu Jin nodded.
"Yanhuang and No. 27... sothing doesn’t add up with these two schools."
Chen Changchun hesitated, his decade-long experience as a detective made him sense sothing was amiss.
"I rember Yanhuang Primary is in the countryside of Hongfu District, and No. 27 is in the town."
"Either way, both are at least twenty kiloters from the city!"
"Did Chen Wei attend school there as a child!?"
The place of schooling is often closely related to the place of residence. Except for high school, primary and middle schools are usually just a few kiloters from where one lives.
Let alone twenty kiloters!
No boarding in primary school, do you commute forty kiloters a day?
"Or did Chen Wei grow up in the countryside with his grandparents?"
Chen Changchun looked at Liu Jin with an inquisitive gaze.
"Indeed, he lived in the countryside, but not with his grandparents." Liu Jin shook his head.
This ti, without waiting for the other to ask, he divulged the remaining information.
"Chen Wei’s father, Chen Jian, and his mother, Zhu Hong, also lived in the countryside in the early years. The grandparents had long passed away, and Chen Wei lived with his parents in the old ho."
"They only moved to the city seven years ago."
"Also that sa year, Chen Wei dropped out of school."
Chen Changchun’s frown deepened with tension.
If so, according to Xu Liang, the contradiction lies hidden within these two different life stages.
The countryside first, then the city.
"Was the house Chen Jian’s family lived in rented or bought?"
"Bought outright, without considering renovation, it’s worth about 700,000."
"Seven hundred thousand, outright!?"
Chen Changchun was sowhat astonished.
Seven hundred thousand Eastern Country yuan, the purchasing power in 2004 was solid. In Hanhai City, that could buy a small villa!
Not to ntion, it was seven years ago, which was 1997.
Even in the capital Upper City of Eastern Country, it was enough to buy a 200-square-ter apartnt back then.
"Where did the money co from?" Chen Changchun frowned.
"Chen Jian is the village head."
Liu Jin explained.
Chen Changchun continued: "A village head wouldn’t be enough, even with embezzlent, it wouldn’t be enough!"
From a part, one can glimpse the whole.
The opponent’s house is bought for seven hundred thousand in cash; their car shouldn’t be bad either—the daily expenses, plus the branded goods on the deceased Chen Wei—it’s not sothing a village head could accomplish.
Even if embezzling, it would have to be done diligently!
After all, this is 1997’s countryside, hard cash instead of bubble assets.
"It ca from proper channels."
Liu Jin pointed to the information on the docunt, saying:
"In 1997, an industrial area was planned out, covering Chen Family Village, and every household received a large sum in compensation!"
"It’s precisely with this money that Chen Jian was able to buy a villa in the city, and Chen Wei stopped going to school."
Beca suddenly wealthy after being displaced?
With this, the issue of the money source seems resolved.
It’s just that...
"Is there a detailed financial statent? If not, prepare an asset report for on him."
"anwhile, contact the villagers at that ti, and make a visitation report for Chen Jian and Chen Wei’s family."
Chen Changchun only thought slightly, then identified two critical points.
"And for Chen Wei, contact the three schools and have the files transferred to !"
Unexpectedly.
Upon hearing Chen Changchun’s words, Liu Jin imdiately smiled.
"I’ve already obtained the records from Chen Wei’s schools, but it’s sowhat difficult to contact peers from the sa period; I could only retrieve nas of classmates at that ti and casually inquired with their horoom teacher."
"It’s quite hard to investigate Chen Jian’s side too; the villagers haven’t been reached yet."
Speaking, he took two fresh sets of files from the police car and handed them over to Chen Changchun once again.
In these tis, the police’s visitation work becos difficult to unfold as soon as personnel shifts occur.
Only the contact issue.
In 1997, at least eight of ten people didn’t have mobile phones, let alone phone numbers!
Furthermore, the other party had gone through relocation, having gone to different places long ago and stayed there for seven years.
How could the police find them this way?
They would have to first check where their registration had moved, contact local police, who would then investigate layer by layer...
"Based on the student files, the deceased Chen Wei was an average student with poor grades."
"Though I think we could ignore that."
Liu Jin pointed to one of the files and said.
Chen Changchun frowned, turning to the other file from the horoom teacher.
"The police contacted the horoom teacher of the deceased; the teacher had been transferred to another school and spoke without reservation."
"Chen Wei... was not a good person."
Liu Jin scanned his surroundings, ensuring no pedestrians were approaching, and only then did he disclose the information in one breath.
"He had bullied classmates multiple tis at school!"
"He frequently organized fights, the most brutal of which resulted in severe injury and disability, with one person losing two fingers!"
"He even assaulted teachers off-campus!"
Chen Changchun showed a hint of astonishnt on his face.
Such a person is considered an average poor student in the records!?
Schools do keep records.
When major incidents happen, schools often record these matters in files that follow the individual for life.
Of course, most of the ti, incidents aren’t recorded, and even if they are, they might be erased at graduation, however, Chen Wei’s level of miscreants shouldn’t have been possible to erase!
Thinking of this.
Chen Changchun’s eyes sparkled, imdiately realizing sothing.
"Money?"
"Did Chen Wei’s admission result from this too?"
Liu Jin nodded, organized his words, and spoke:
"Their horoom teacher had witnessed Chen Jian taking out thirty thousand, asking him to supervise Chen Wei more leniently."
"For high school... a lot of scores were purchased for Chen Wei’s admission, secretly, they likely also sent many things."
"After all, it was a prestigious school."
Buying points for school admission, perhaps not many have heard of it.
But at that ti, this was quite common, especially in the 90s!
So students who missed high school by one or two points might have their parents privately figuring out ways to buy points. These points were expensive, ranging from thousands to over ten thousand.
In fact, if you had enough money, you could directly buy soone else’s admission spot!
Yes, soone else would pass the exam well enough, and if you paid, that score would be yours, while the one who sold it remained clueless.
Before Chen Changchun continued to ask, Liu Jin continued:
"The horoom teacher said Chen Wei had taken one exam three months before the school entrance exam."
"The score was 68."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changchun pondered for a mont and asked:
"Which subject scored 68?"
In the 90s, getting around 480 would admit soone to high school, scoring 300 could allow participation in the expansion class.
If one subject scored 68, it’s possible it was self-attained entry.
However...
Liu Jin’s mouth twitched, and he stated:
"Total score of 68."
