“She follows the rules and has never caused any trouble.”
“She actively participates in class and has consistently ranked at the top of her studies.”
“She’s a promising student.”
Officer Li nodded and then asked, “What is her relationship with Wu Jiajia like?”
Chen Peng thought for a moment and replied, “They sit quite close together, but I haven’t noticed any conflicts between them.”
“Wu Jiajia has an average social circle at school. Qin Feng is close to her and often helps her with her studies.”
“I can hardly believe that Qin Feng would kill Wu Jiajia.”
At this point, he sighed.
“It’s truly heartbreaking.”
“Qin Feng is a good student and is dear to me.”
“If I had known something like this would happen, I would have taken preventive measures earlier.”
Officer Li offered him some words of comfort before continuing, “Has Qin Feng’s performance always been good?”
A nostalgic look appeared on Chen Peng's face.
“Of course! She is our school’s Top Scholar.”
“When it came time for the High School Entrance Examination, she was admitted to our school with a Top Ten in the County score.”
“The Principal even wanted to personally place her in the Experimental Class, but she declined.”
“She specifically requested to learn from me, saying she liked my teaching style.”
“I’ve been teaching for so many years, and it’s the first time a student has valued me like this.”
“I’m very touched and I cherish this student deeply.”
Chen Pengyue spoke more passionately as he continued.
Finally, he tightly grasped Officer Li's hand, tears streaming down his face.
“Officer, Qin Feng is a good kid.”
“She shouldn’t be someone with such a twisted character.”
“It must be the negative influences outside that have led her astray.”
“I beg you, give her a chance to turn her life around.”
“She’s still so young; her life has just begun.”
“Don’t ruin her!”
Officer Li was moved by his emotions, his eyes slightly reddening.
He patted Chen Peng’s shoulder and comforted him.
“Don’t worry, I will get to the bottom of this.”
“If Qin Feng is wronged, I will definitely clear her name.”
Only then did Chen Peng feel relieved.
He wiped the tears from his face and gratefully said, "Thank you, Officer."
To verify Yao Qiang's words, Officer Li and Lawyer Liu conducted discreet interviews with several of Qin Feng's classmates and teachers before leaving the school.
The responses they received were consistent with what Yao Qiang had stated.
Could it be that there was truly no bullying between Qin Feng and her classmate Wu Jiajia?
If that were the case, then Qin Feng's motive for murder would not hold.
Moreover, there was another matter we couldn't understand.
Qin Feng ranked tenth in the county for her High School Entrance Examination scores.
She had many opportunities to choose from.
So why did she specifically choose to attend Liren Middle School?
And why did she insist on having Yao Qiang as her homeroom teacher?
What hidden secrets lay behind this decision?
It seemed I would have to ask Qin Feng directly.
I headed to the detention center with Officer Li.
When we saw Qin Feng again in the interrogation room, Officer Li got straight to the point:
"Qin Feng, you mentioned last time that Wu Jiajia often bullied you at school."
"I spoke with your classmates and teachers, and they all said that you have a good relationship with Wu Jiajia."
"She never took anything from you, nor did she ever slap you."
"Do you want to explain how this is possible?"
Qin Feng replied without changing her expression, "Officer, I do have a good relationship with Wu Jiajia."
"But that doesn't stop her from bullying me."
"Besides, does bullying need a reason?"
Officer Li was momentarily at a loss for words due to her retort.
At that moment, I took the opportunity to continue questioning:
"Qin Feng, can you answer me one question?"
"Why did you choose to push Wu Jiajia off the rooftop of the cafeteria?"
"This place has a lot of foot traffic; it's easy for someone to see."
"Were you trying to make sure more people witnessed it?"
Qin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment.
This was the first time she showed clear signs of panic.
