Chapter 95
After the interview at the Education Bureau, Yuan Jin and Jian Tang got on the bus and went to the nearby Public Security Bureau. After questioning, they learned that the deputy director was guiding the Spring Festival safety work at the long-distance bus station and rushed to the station.
"Sister, will the truth come out about this revelation?" Jian Tang held the machine and looked gloomy. "The staff and leaders interviewed by the Education Bureau are very annoyed by this matter, and they all sound like they are colluding with each other."
She knows that when making news, you can't just look at the evidence of one side. You must listen to one side's voice and interview all the people involved in the incident before you can publish a report.
"It might be really a problem with the parents, or it might be a problem with the school." Yuan Jin smiled and explained, "The Education Bureau went to check, and even if they found the students to understand the situation, they couldn't find anything. When will they go to investigate and verify?
, the school leaders will be notified first.”
News reports must be objective and truthful, letting out the voices of all parties, and not characterizing any party based on personal preferences.
The content revealed on the live broadcast platform is very different from the content in the verification report.
According to the person who broke the news, the parents of the girl who was bullied were illiterate, and they were reluctant to buy a smartphone only after their daughter had an accident, and they didn’t know how to use it.
In the complaint content provided by the Basic Education Unit, it was not announced whether the complaint channel was a phone call, a letter, or a WeChat official account.
The evidence seems to be sufficient, but a careful analysis shows that the logic of the complaints and the verification is wrong. When the complaints were verified, all the people under investigation were teachers, and there was no statement from the bullied girl or her parents.
What kind of verification is this? This is called punishing yourself with three glasses of wine behind closed doors.
"I sometimes often think that it would be nice to be like a reporter from New Express. I can just find hot spots and stitch them together to publish a piece of news. I don't even have to leave the office, and I can't see all the dark sides." Jian Tang sighed, "But
And I thought, if I don’t do anything, what’s the use of studying this major.”
"The motherland is so big, it is normal for there to be good and bad. One of the roles of the media is to supervise and correct bad phenomena." Yuan Jin had a free hand, took a candy and handed it to her, "Even if the only thing we can change is
Even a little bit is good."
Jian Tang took the candy she handed and threw it into his mouth, gossiping vaguely, "Sister, did Mr. Shen we met when we got off the plane chase you? He looked at you with so much resentment, if I hadn't known
You have been working as a paparazzi in the newspaper office, and I almost thought you had abandoned him from the beginning to the end."
Yuan Jin:……
There is no chaos and abandonment at the end, it is just a divorce. A marriage without an emotional basis will leave everyone free.
"We met once before while filming, but we're not familiar with each other." Yuan Jin explained casually, bringing the topic back, "Have you taken the verification report?"
"I've taken it. I've taken a clear picture of the more than 30 pages of the verification report." Jian Tang's thoughts were taken away, "This time is a bit long, do you want to edit it in?"
"We'll talk about it then. Let's go interview the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau first. After that, we won't stay in the city and go directly to the victim's house." Yuan Jin's lips curved and he smiled, "You may have to stay at a fellow villager's house tonight. You
Be mentally prepared first.”
Jian Tang nodded indifferently, "It's fine with me."
When you go on an interview mission with the big boss, of course you can live wherever the boss lives.
While we were talking, the local long-distance bus station also arrived.
During the Spring Festival travel rush, it is difficult to park inside or outside the station, and there are cars everywhere.
Yuan Jin drove the car around and finally found an empty space to park. He took Jian Tang and the machine to find the police who were maintaining order.
"Look for Deputy Director Lin. He is over there in the SWAT car and has just eaten." The policeman kindly gave them directions, "Go a hundred meters ahead and see if you can see him."
Yuan Jin said thank you and continued walking forward.
The deputy director looks quite young. Like the police officers, he squats in the cold wind and eats lunch. He has a very friendly image.
The lunch box doesn’t look very rich, with two meat and two vegetable items.
Yuan Jin looked away, took out his ID, opened the microphone and said, "Hello, I am Xie Yuanjin, a reporter from Beijing's "Jinghua Express". This morning, parents of students from No. 11 Middle School broke the news on the live broadcast platform that their daughter
She was bullied by her classmates. One of the boys who claimed to have beaten her daughter was your child. Is this true?"
All the policemen who were eating looked over. The deputy chief's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Yuan Jin with scrutiny, "What kind of revelations."
"On January 9, a serious school bullying incident occurred in the No. 11 Middle School of the city. The girl who was beaten was expelled from the school, and no one who hit her was punished." Yuan Jin met his gaze calmly, with a calm attitude, "That's right.
The girl’s parents said that one of the students who hit her was your child.”
"This is not true." The deputy director put down the lunch box in his hand angrily and faced the camera. "My child is indeed studying in No. 11 Middle School, but he did not participate in the school bullying incident. I have an impression of the case you mentioned and participated in the fight.
All his students have been punished, and their parents have also made corresponding compensation to the victims."
"Can we have a look at the file of this case?" Yuan Jin calmly asked, "Or could you tell me the specific punishment measures? The victim girl's injury was assessed as serious injury, and the assailant intentionally beat others, causing more than minor injuries.
Intentional injury."
When the director heard this, his face changed slightly, "The situation you mentioned does not exist. The case file is clearly recorded. There is a police video of the incident. The victim only suffered minor soft tissue contusions."
"Her injury appraisal was issued by the Provincial Judicial Appraisal Center." Yuan Jin added without hesitation, "If you do not agree with this injury appraisal, you can issue a power of attorney for the injury appraisal and inform the victim to go to the designated appraisal agency for an injury appraisal.
Love appraisal.”
Just as the deputy director was about to speak, several reporters rushed over and asked questions.
"Deputy Director Lin, what do you want to say about the online news that your child, together with his classmates, bullied others and caused serious injuries to them?"
"Deputy Director Lin, according to the provisions of the Criminal Law on juvenile crimes, all the students involved in the case were over 14 years old. Why were they not punished in any way? The students who were bullied and beaten were also minors. Which provision did you base your case on?"
"The victim's face was disfigured and his injuries were assessed as serious. Is it appropriate for you to put him back?"
"Is it because your child was also involved in this vicious case of school bullying that you were not punished?"
"Deputy Director Lin, please explain why no one was punished in this case."
"The victim girl was expelled from the school. Do you know?"
Later reporters rushed to ask questions, and the scene became chaotic.
Yuan Jin quit the team and let Jian Tang take pictures for a while, then got in the car to check the whereabouts of the victim. Reporters from other media chased after him, indicating that an official media got out of the car and forwarded the news, and the relevant departments had noticed the incident.
The Education Bureau and others have already gone to interview. The Public Security Bureau won't have any more information if we ask here. It is expected that they will issue a briefing on the situation, release the files and law enforcement videos later.
She should bring an extra group of people over.
Yuan Jin put down his laptop, got out of the car, returned to Jian Tang and whispered, "The Public Security Bureau will probably hold a briefing soon. You go there and take pictures while I go find the victim."
"Okay, keep in touch." Jian Tang smiled and nodded.
Yuan Jin went back to get his computer and backpack, threw the car keys to Jian Tang, and took a taxi to leave.
They have to find the victim first to prevent her and her family from being taken away by other media. If the evidence that should be presented is not presented, netizens will mistakenly think that the media is laundering the official's ground. Or they may misunderstand that they are trying to stir up public opinion for money.
The person who broke the news left his contact information during the live broadcast, but unfortunately he couldn't be contacted after turning off his phone.
Yuan Jin leaned against the backrest and pondered for a while, then took out the laptop from her backpack and located the whistleblower's location again. She had been trying to contact the whistleblower since other colleagues appeared, but she had not been able to contact him and always said that the phone was turned off.
She did contact her in advance before coming, informed her of her arrival time in the city, and made an appointment to only be interviewed by "Live".
The contact was suddenly interrupted. I don’t know whether I was threatened or deceived by other colleagues, and I turned off my phone on purpose.
Yuan Jin checked for a while, and after confirming the other party's location, he ordered the driver to send him there.
"Are you a reporter from out of town?" The driver took the initiative to strike up a conversation, "Come to interview that girl from the countryside about how she was bullied by her classmates? My daughter is also in the eleventh middle school. If you don't mind, I can talk about it."
Yuan Jin was moved by his slightly excited look, turned on the recorder, smiled and nodded.
"At least 10 students from the 11th Middle School are admitted to key universities every year, and the management of students is also very strict." Seeing that she did not object, the driver immediately laughed, "Their work and rest time is arranged according to military management, including eating and bathing.
The time is very short.”
Yuan Jin gave him a smile and motioned for him to continue.
The driver started talking, starting from the expensive and unpalatable food in the school cafeteria to various strange practices in the school.
No. 11 Middle School requires students who live in dormitories to get up at 5:30 every day and must gather in the playground at 5:40. If one person is late, the whole class will do squats together.
Every time his daughter comes home, she says the school food is unpalatable and complains about the board supervisor and teachers' demands for perversion.
Seeing that his daughter was already in her senior year of high school and that her daughter might have mental problems, he contacted another public school that was as powerful as No. 11 Middle School and transferred his daughter to it.
After transferring to another school, my daughter has become much more cheerful and complains less when she comes home.
"This school has problems from top to bottom. Every morning, we only have 10 minutes to clean ourselves up. We are not allowed to leave early without any reason during assembly, and we are not allowed to ask for leave." The driver sighed, "The children are already under a lot of pressure to study.
and the teacher kept causing trouble for them."
"The teacher manages the students like this, but the school leaders don't have any objections?" Yuan Jin asked casually, "Or are these rules set by the school leaders?"
"I don't know about this. I'm just a parent who can't bear to see my daughter suffer." The driver laughed and lowered his voice, "But let me tell you something. No matter how you complain about No. 11 Middle School, the Education Bureau will turn a blind eye.
Close your eyes."
There are quite a few reports from parents about No. 11 Middle School. Every time the Education Bureau sends people to the school to investigate, they go through the process and it doesn’t work at all.
"Why is it useless to report to the 11th Central Committee?" Yuan Jin asked.
"No. 11 Middle School is the city's flagship. Although other schools are not bad, they are still inferior compared to the key points and first-class rate of No. 11 Middle School." The driver sighed, "Their high demands started in junior high school, and that girl's matter
, the persuasion to quit may be true, but I dare not say whether other things are true or false, after all, they are not my children."
Yuan Jin smiled and thanked him.
After chatting with the driver all the way, she contacted the whistleblower again after getting off the bus, but she still couldn't get in touch.
The location is located in an old community with no doormen.
She stood outside the door and watched for a while, put on her earphones, walked aside, and dialed the number of the whistleblower's husband.
"Hello, we are not accepting interviews now. Goodbye." The man's slightly panicked voice came into his ears, and he hung up the phone after saying that.
Yuan Jin frowned and sent a text message to the other party, asking for the reason for refusing to be interviewed. Being able to answer his phone meant that they were safe and free. Was their refusal to be interviewed because of pressure from the local government?
The public outcry was so huge that the relevant local departments probably did not expect it.
After waiting patiently for a while, the other party replied: We are in a very safe place, not in the city. The leader of the town said that if we talk nonsense, we will not get a penny of my niece's compensation.
Yuan Jin's face turned dark at the sight: Is what you said true? In this way, if the leaders of the town come to talk to you again, you can turn on the recorder on your phone and record their conversation.
In order to maintain stability, grassroots cadres often go too far.
If the town leaders really put pressure on the girl's family, they would have to live there in the future and their refusal to be interviewed would be excusable.
This time the other party did not reply and quickly shut down his phone.
Yuan Jin thought about it for a while and called Jian Tang.
"Sister, where are you? I'll go pick you up now." Jian Tang's tone didn't sound very good.
Yuan Jin reported his location and asked her to come quickly.
Ten minutes later, Jian Tang drove over with obvious anger on his face.
Yuan Jin took a bottle of mineral water, opened it and took a sip in his mouth without asking anything.
"The Public Security Bureau has shown the files, punishment results, and law enforcement videos. Reporters have already reported first that the girl's family broke the news to extort money." Jian Tang sped up and drove out, mocking, "They are really just trying to gain popularity. The truth is
They published random reports without clear investigation."
"Our goal is the truth, their goal is popularity, don't compare with them." Yuan Jin smiled and reassured, "They blocked one of the parties involved in the revelation, and the other party is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. How to write the article to attract attention
.”
"If we are so shameless, all the heat on this matter will belong to us." Jian Tang curled his lips, "Sister, how true do you think the revelations about this matter are."
"I don't know, the truth is whatever it is. As a reporter, what you have to do is to report objectively and truthfully, not guess the results." Yuan Jin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, picked up his phone and tried to call the whistleblower again.
If you predict the outcome first, you will often be disappointed.
The truth of the matter depends on looking at the evidence and listening to the voices of all parties.
Since the Public Security Bureau has disclosed the file and punishment results, as well as the law enforcement video, it shows that the whistleblower has exaggerated the case.
Bullying is real, either the girl was not hurt, or she was not hurt because of it.
