Everyone realized the complexity and seriousness of this case.
I knew that today was just the beginning of uncovering the tip of the iceberg.
There were more secrets and pains waiting for us to face and resolve.
Qin Man had been living a peaceful life until her sister, also named Qin Man, went missing during her senior year of high school.
That morning, our parents sent her to school as usual.
She waved goodbye to us while carrying her backpack and then turned to walk toward the school.
That was the last time I saw my sister.
She never returned home.
We searched everywhere, reported it to the police, placed ads, and posted missing person notices, but we could not find any clues.
My sister's disappearance plunged our family into deep sorrow.
Our parents cried all day, while I silently bore the pain of losing my sister.
After her disappearance, her homeroom teacher, Yao Qiang, called us,
saying that he last saw my sister in the school office, where she had asked him for leave,
claiming she felt unwell and wanted to go home to rest.
Yao Qiang also told us that my sister had previously expressed to him that she was under a lot of academic pressure,
and it was possible that she chose to skip school because of it.
However, the police and the school conducted a thorough search and found no trace of my sister.
For more than a year afterward, Yao Qiang refused to meet with us for various reasons.
This missing case ultimately became a cold case.
After the High School Entrance Examination exams, I chose the school my sister attended and specifically requested Yao Qiang to be my homeroom teacher.
I hoped to find clues about my sister's disappearance from him.
During my first year of high school, Qin Man tried to gather information about my sister from upperclassmen but was unsuccessful.
It wasn't until sophomore year that she accidentally discovered Wu Jiajia crying in the restroom.
After some questioning, Wu Jiajia revealed that Principal Zhou Shuwei had sexually assaulted her and hinted that Yao Qiang was also involved in similar behavior.
Upon learning this information, Qin Man began to suspect that my sister's disappearance might be connected to Yao Qiang.
She realized that her sister might have been unable to continue living after suffering sexual assault, which ultimately led to her disappearance.
This revelation left Qin Man deeply shocked and saddened.
She became more determined to uncover the truth and decided to take action to expose Yao Qiang's crimes.
She secretly collected evidence in an attempt to find clues about her sister's disappearance.
Meanwhile, Wu Jiajia also planned to reveal Zhou Shuwei's crimes.
She recorded videos and audio, documenting the process of Zhou Shuwei assaulting her.
She saved this evidence in her email and told Qin Man that if anything happened to her, she should hand the evidence over to the police.
Qin Man and Wu Jiajia conspired to commit suicide together.
They decided to carry out their plan on the rooftop of the cafeteria.
They chose to act during lunchtime, when the cafeteria rooftop would be the busiest.
They hoped to use the sensationalism of Campus Bullying to attract social attention, thereby exposing Zhou Shuwei's crimes.
Qin Man felt deep inner turmoil, but agreed to the plan in order to reveal the truth behind her sister's disappearance.
They meticulously planned the time and method of their suicide, as well as how to collect and preserve evidence.
Wu Jiajia decided to wear bright clothing to draw the attention of onlooking students.
She stood at the edge of the cafeteria rooftop.
With her arms outstretched, she leaned back and fell.
I watched silently as she plummeted.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still.
I knew everything would come to an end.
The surveillance footage captured this scene, becoming crucial evidence in the case.
I recounted our plan in detail in court, explaining how we collected and preserved the evidence.
My testimony plunged the courtroom into silence.
The reporters in the gallery were stunned, unable to fathom that such dark crimes were hidden within the campus.
Wu Jiajia's parents sat in the audience, their faces streaked with tears.
They knew their daughter had suffered immensely, but they never imagined the perpetrator would be the Principal.
In that moment, they felt an overwhelming sense of pain and helplessness.
The judge ultimately played the video of me and Wu Jiajia on the rooftop, confirming her suicide and my plan.
After considering all the evidence, the judge announced my sentence: six months in prison.
At the same time, Zhou Shuwei was detained on suspicion of sexually assaulting Wu Jiajia, awaiting further investigation.
Yao Qiang was acquitted of sexually assaulting Wu Jiajia but was temporarily detained due to involvement in other cases.
The complexity and severity of this case exceeded everyone's imagination.
The experiences of Wu Jiajia and me became the focus of public attention.
