Chapter 238 Praying Mantis Stalks Cicada, The Oriole Follows
It took Yue Chen a week to finally take over the Grade 2 (8) class. It took another week to get involved with the students in this class.
On September 27, nearly a month had passed since the start of school, and Huo Ruiyan had also been missing for a month.
At noon that day, Yue Chen and Li Kainan were sitting in the cafeteria having lunch. From time to time, one or two students would come to say hello to Yue Chen.
"Teacher Yue, you have done a great job as a class teacher. It seems that the students like you very much." Li Kainan praised.
"Isn't it just shameless? If you do something a little outrageous with your children, they will have a very good relationship with you." Yue Chen lowered his voice.
"This is the legendary saying of doing a hundred good things together, why not do one bad thing together?" Li Kainan joked.
"Absolutely, but it's not a bad thing.
"Then can you tell me what you did with them?" Li Kainan asked curiously.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just brought their weekend math test papers back to the classroom on Thursday, told them they didn't need to do math homework today, and then burned the test papers in front of the children and asked them to keep it secret.
Okay." Yue Chen said with a sly smile.
"What about the weekend test paper? Print another copy?" Li Kainan asked.
"Why is it so troublesome? Except for the top one or two of the test papers, which are genuine, the rest are all misprinted waste paper. As long as they move quickly enough, they won't be able to find it." Yue Chen waved his hand.
"Teacher Yue's move of throwing stones to ask for directions is really clever." At some point, Huang He appeared behind Yue Chen.
"But let me remind you, although your class seems to have a very strong academic style, your management style has attracted the attention of the leaders." Huang He sat next to Yu Yue.
"Does that mean Teacher Yue is going to be promoted again?" Li Kainan asked.
"This is a double-edged sword. If your class improves significantly in the midterm exam, you may be asked to share your teaching management experience with everyone; but if there are no results in the midterm exam, I'm afraid you will be asked to adjust your management methods."
Huang He said seriously.
"I think Teacher Yue's management is very good, and the relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious, right?" Li Kainan defended Yue Chen.
"But a leader said that Teacher Yue and the students have no sense of boundaries. They seem to be prosperous, but maybe it's just a false prosperity of having fun." Huang He pointed out the key point.
"Teacher Huang is right. Although the school advocates quality education, it still has to be judged by grades. Thank you, brother. I know what to do." Yue Chen nodded.
"Eh? Let's talk about the things at hand first. Is your class ready for the sports meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?" Huang He asked.
"Children, don't be too happy about those things. Just take care of it yourself." Yue Chen looked like he was handing over to the shopkeeper.
"The head teacher also has to participate in at least two projects." Huang He mentioned.
"I know, I just told them to sign up for all the projects, and just fill in my name for the projects that no one is applying for." Yue Chen still looked indifferent.
"Aren't you afraid that they will charge you with too much nonsense?" Huang He said in embarrassment.
"The children are all sensible and don't really play tricks on me. Besides, it would be nice to participate in a few more sports events, right?" Yue Chen really didn't take this seriously.
"Are you all here?" Qian Qian suddenly hurried over.
"Have you finished your meal?" Huang He was stunned.
"What else are you going to eat? Uncle Qin told me about a new situation, so I came to see you quickly." Qian Qian sat down next to the three of them.
"Uncle Qin?" Li Kainan had never heard of this name.
"A friend of Teacher Qian opened a teahouse in Zhou Hang." Yue Chen made Li Kainan understand with one sentence that this was going to be big news.
"Uncle Qin said that the cleaning lady who has been coming to clean the tea house recently received a cleaning order from another resident of Zhouhang Lane. Then when she came back, she accidentally mentioned that their house was very dirty, and there were a lot of blood-stained residues in the corners of the bathroom."
After Qian Qian finished speaking, the three men all imagined a bloody scene and couldn't help but feel nauseated.
"Um...can I contact this cleaning lady now?" Yue Chen simply put down his chopsticks.
"Okay, Auntie is at the tea house." Qian Qian confirmed.
"Notify them now?" Li Kainan asked.
"Let's do it now. If we notify them after school, they won't be happy." Yue Chen speculated that Bai Mengge and Liu Yingying had the same temper.
Sure enough, after the two people made two phone calls, Liu Yingying took Bai Mengge to Zhou Hang Lane.
"Teacher Qian, you might have to ask Uncle Qin to pick him up." Yue Chen looked at Qian Qian.
"Just ask them to make this call." Qian Qian sent the phone number to Yue Chen.
Let's talk about Liu Yingying and Bai Mengge. After receiving calls from Yue Chen and Li Kainan respectively, they arrived at Zhouhang Lane in less than half an hour. Uncle Qin was waiting at the gate of Wannan Road.
The three of them went directly to the teahouse without exchanging much greetings and asked the cleaning lady to find out about the situation.
"This is the cleaning lady, surnamed Hong. You guys can chat, just call me if you need anything." Uncle Qin introduced the two of them and then exited the box and closed the door.
"Sister Hong, we are from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. We would like to find out some information from you. That is the family you mentioned before. They are probably related to the disappearance of a high school girl." Liu Ying saw that the cleaning lady was a little nervous.
Ying quickly explained his purpose.
"Sister Hong, just tell us what you saw. Don't be afraid. We are just looking for you to understand the situation." Bai Mengge added.
"Sister Hong, you really don't need to be nervous. Let's just answer whatever we ask you. When did you go to his house to do cleaning?" Seeing that Auntie was still at a loss, Liu Yingying asked.
road.
"Probably the day before yesterday." Sister Hong said uncertainly.
"The day before yesterday, Monday, right?" Bai Mengge asked casually while taking notes.
"Uh...yes, I work here as a cleaner on weekends, and I only go out to take orders on Monday." Sister Hong nodded.
"Then what abnormalities did you see in their house?" Liu Yingying continued to ask.
"There is a lot of blood and dirt on the corners of the bathroom in their house." Sister Hong showed a horrified expression.
"Are you sure it's blood?" Bai Mengge repeated?
"Hmm... It should be because I couldn't clean some areas, so I used a detergent to wipe off women's menstrual blood stains and managed to clean them up." Sister Hong said relatively confidently.
"Do they often hire cleaners at their house?" Liu Yingying asked.
"It doesn't look like it. Their home is very dirty and messy." Sister Hong shook her head.
"Then why did they ask you to do cleaning this time?" Liu Yingying didn't understand. If it was really the suspect who committed the murder in the room, he shouldn't let outsiders in easily.
"Oh, the woman here is about to give birth and will enter the delivery room soon, so she asked me to clean it thoroughly." Sister Hong said.
"That's reasonable." Bai Mengge commented while recording.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Hong. One last check, does the family you mentioned live at this address?" Bai Mengge handed the notebook to her aunt.
"Yes, that's right... um..."
"Well, what's the matter, Sister Hong?" Liu Yingying seemed to see that Sister Hong was hesitant to speak.
"I won't be retaliated against, right?" Sister Hong asked timidly.
"Sister Hong, don't worry, we will definitely ensure your safety." Bai Mengge took Sister Hong's hand and said seriously.
