Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From The Trash - Chap 262
The son on the other side of the phone naturally did not know what was happening at home, and was overjoyed: “Yes, you have never been abroad, you do not know. You have to prepare at least half a month in advance to go to the United States, and the procedures for face-to-face visa are quite complicated. If it’s convenient for you, please come, I really miss you ……”
Shoucheng Zhu talked to his son in a perfunctory manner, and hung up the phone in a daze.
He looked at the phone, wrinkled his brow, thinking for a long time, his demeanor gradually relaxed.
…… Shoucheng Zhu is back.
Who would have thought that after disappearing for a whole day, he would come to the police station on his own initiative, dressed up in his own clothes, and apply for habeas corpus, claiming that someone was spreading bad rumors and accusations against him.
And all of those allegations are nonsense.
Yu Zi took the man to the interrogation room.
Old Dai looked extremely pale and asked him, “You really didn’t do those things?”
Shoucheng Zhu said sincerely, “No.”
Old Dai slapped his palm on the table, “Then what are you hiding from?”
Shoucheng Zhu opened his mouth: “If you are falsely accused, it is only normal to want to escape from the psychology, right? I’m Shoucheng Zhu, I’ve been clean all my life, I’m about to retire, but I’ve come across this kind of thing, I don’t want to face it for a while. But now, I want to open up.”
Old Dai narrowed his eyes: “I see you were ‘falsely accused’, and not very angry.”
Shoucheng Zhu: “I’m not a child, I know it’s useless to be angry. The most important thing now is to solve the problem, isn’t it?”
Old Dai also does not talk nonsense with him, cut straight to the point: “Someone heard, you took it upon yourself to admit that those nasty things to the students, it was you who did it.”
Shoucheng Zhu said calmly, “That’s angry talk.”
Old Dai looked into his eyes, it was hard to tell, this calm over the head of the man, said the words are true or false.
Shoucheng Zhu, undaunted by the other party’s scrutiny, further questioned, “Is it still possible to be convicted for one’s words in this world?”
Yu Zi put down the ballpoint pen that was taking notes, “While you were gone, we had applied for a house search warrant, entered your room, and found a bloody bed sheet. How are you going to explain that?”
“Bloodied bed sheets?”
Shoucheng Zhu stared at the thought for a while, and then showed a clear expression: “Ah, you say that the bed sheet? That is a child to my home tutoring, leg was cut, blood flowed a lot, dripping onto the bed sheet, washing can not wash off, I will make do with it. You also know that I am a teacher, the dead pay is so little, the family’s standard of living has not yet reached the point where you can just throw away a dirty bed sheet. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the kid.”
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and showed a slight expression of regret and sorrow: “By the way, I’m really sorry, that child seems to be no longer alive now.”
The ballpoint pen in Yu Zi’s hand made a very loud “click” sound.
Old Dai’s face was slightly twisted: “Are you provoking us?”
Shoucheng Zhu denied politely: “No, you misunderstood. I think the most important thing is to find a victim who can accuse me and clear my name as soon as possible. I can’t just find a paragraph from the Internet that sounds similar to mine, put it together and call it hard evidence, right?”
Shoucheng Zhu This terrifying frankness even made Lao Dai’s judgment waver a bit.
Yu Zi : “You mean, someone planted evidence to frame you?”
“Isn’t that so?” Shoucheng Zhu spread his hands and mouthed, “Every student is a precious jewel to me. There is no way I can hurt them.”
Yu Zi’s face grew colder: “Then how do you explain your verbal harassment of the child next door to your house?”
The words “kid next door” irritated Shoucheng Zhu and reminded him of something extremely disgusting.
His face was not very good: “You mean Xiaochi Chi? …… to him, did I say anything I shouldn’t? Like asking him to sleep with me?”
Yu Zi was speechless: “You-”
“Yes, I do like children, one might even say I love them. So there are times when some of the expressions will be rather excessive.” Shoucheng Zhu is very eloquent, “but it’s all within the normal range. You guys are really chilling a veteran teacher’s heart by taking things out of context like this.”
Shoucheng Zhu had full confidence, knowing that he would not be sentenced, and dared to gamble that those who had been victims, were well aware of what they were pinching in their hands, and therefore simply did not have the guts to come forward and admit to having been violated before.
Even in such an atmosphere of public opinion of a thousand people, he is not afraid.
After all, those victims to explode things, can only be cool for a while, after. He will be unlucky in this small place for a lifetime, be poked a lifetime backbone.
The first step back to say, there really is a brain child jumped out to testify, according to his understanding, to the current level of domestic law, for the crime of rape – indecent – child molestation, the sentence is still only in the concept of “young girls”.
The only pity is that I can’t teach anymore, and I can’t go back home.
The law can not sanction him, I guess those parents will try to drown him with spittle.
But he can go abroad to join his son, and the police station still has to dutifully issue a certificate of no crime for him.
As a result, Shoucheng Zhu was dismissed from the school to appease public anger.
The next half month, except for the parents who intermittently come to the silo to make trouble, the situation really is slowly calmed down.
The non-victimized children were confused, and most of the victimized children were scared by their parents’ sky-is-falling scary attitude and simply kept quiet.
And the feverish parents went to look up the relevant legal information, but also gradually calm down, no longer mention the matter.
Only the mother of the child, who is suspected to have committed suicide because of Shoucheng Zhu, went to court to sue Shoucheng Zhu for murder, but the case was not filed due to lack of evidence.
She was so mentally damaged that she hung around the silo day in and day out.
According to the informant, she carried a fruit knife in her arms and claimed that she would kill Shoucheng Zhu if she saw him.
Even though the police intervened in this matter, in order to avoid more troubles, Shoucheng Zhu still brought all the documents, went to a foreign province, found a reliable agency, stayed in a hotel for almost a month, and burned a lot of money, finally did the United States 10-year round-trip visa.
Only in the dead of night, the unevenness and depression will come to his mind, making Shoucheng Zhu toss and turn, so depressed that he took his head to the pillow.
His wonderful garden was exposed, the branches and flowers, were pulled down, stepped on by people who did not appreciate it, and insulted with abandon. Humiliated.
The good news is that the visa he applied for was issued soon, which slightly offset the unbearable sadness in his heart.
As he stepped onto the plane with his simple luggage, Shoucheng Zhu looked out the window at the white clouds and thought sadly that he would have to start his life of displacement.
…… However, look on the bright side, no matter what, he still has a home to go back to.
The son is obviously planning to settle abroad for a long time. He purchased a second-hand house with all the infrastructure, and it’s only twenty minutes away from where he works, so it’s convenient in every way except for shopping.
He entertained his old father attentively, “Dad, what brings you to my place all of a sudden?”
Shoucheng Zhu’s hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, then smiled and asked rhetorically, “Why, do you dislike your dad?”
When the son wanted to speak, his daughter-in-law brought the melon seeds and laughed, “Dad, he is stupid, he didn’t mean it. You are welcome to come, but if we knew you were coming, we should have leveled the yard earlier so that you could go out to the sun.”
Shoucheng Zhu’s eyes lit up and he got up and rolled up his sleeves to go to the backyard: “Leveling the turf? I’ve done it in school, let me help you.”
Daughter-in-law panicked “hey”: “Dad, you came all the way here, you rest ……”
As we speak, however, Shoucheng Zhu is already walking to the back door.
The son touched his daughter-in-law’s elbow: “See, you’re the one with the stupid mouth.”
My daughter-in-law was furious, “Go drag your father with you. Your father is here on a trip, and he just came here to make people work, is that right?”
The son, however, looked adoringly at his father’s back and said, “I’ll go teach my dad how to drive the weed eater.”
“Ugh!”
“You do not care. My father is a hard-working man, he can’t stay idle, and he brings his kids home to study during the summer and winter. If you don’t let him do something, it’s his life.”
With his back to his son and daughter-in-law, Shoucheng Zhu breathed a small sigh of relief.
The school only knows the cell phone his son used to use, and now that he has changed his number, he naturally can’t be reached, which gives Shoucheng Zhu some peace of mind.
At least here, he can get away from the chaos and enjoy a little bit of happiness in his old age.
Shoucheng Zhu stayed at his son’s place.
Both his son and daughter-in-law work here, and at first, his son was not quite sure about leaving him home alone, but he soon relented.
Shoucheng Zhu learned English and quickly integrated into the language environment. He was able to watch the news, read the newspaper, and communicate with people without much problem, and one day he even sneaked off to a nearby church on his own to take pictures.
A seemingly free and happy month has passed.
Shoucheng Zhu is so active in his studies for no other reason than he is afraid to show a little discomfort and give his son an excuse to send himself back to his country.
Just like when he first arrived, he couldn’t stand the foreign diet and was constipated for a long time, he didn’t dare to tell his son, but only dared to be a thief, getting up in the middle of the night and gritting his teeth to solve the problem himself.
The good thing is, time is the cure for people.
The events in China have faded into the shadows in Shoucheng Zhu’s mind, and although it still hurts to think about it, it’s not so hard anymore.
He found that the United States was a good place to visit, the Internet was not as closed as China, with 404s, and he could access any website. Shoucheng Zhu used the computer he brought with him to connect to the Internet and clicked around, but through a small unknown pop-up window, he was able to access a website that was perfect for his taste.
Shoucheng Zhu was afraid that this site would suddenly disappear, so he saved several pictures with great enthusiasm.
A week later, two of the neighbor’s children were playing soccer at home and the ball flew over the courtyard wall, which Shoucheng Zhu picked up for them.
When the babysitter came to ring the doorbell with two little blond boys to ask for the soccer ball back, Shoucheng Zhu held the ball and took a look at their cute white faces, slightly tickled.
…… Maybe a nice garden can be planted here too.
The fat nanny seemed to notice his odd expression and gave him a deliberate look, and Shoucheng Zhu didn’t take it too seriously.
He turned back to his son’s home and continued to clean them with the vacuum cleaner.
Half an hour later, the doorbell was rung again.
However, this time, the sound is cold, one after another, sounding very urgent, like a life charm.
Shoucheng Zhu came to the door and asked, “Who is it?”
Outside is a man, in English, reported his home, probably he belongs to what what department, but the other party speaks too fast, and with a little accent, so Shoucheng Zhu only understand the key information.
…… United States Police?
Shoucheng Zhu thought to himself that he had done nothing wrong, and that the people of the United States were always making a big deal out of it, and would call the police on the slightest thing, perhaps because they didn’t know him and took him for a thief who broke the door and slipped the lock.
So, he casually pulled open the door.
Shoucheng Zhu took his passport and politely asked, “What can I do for you?”
Here came two police officers, a man and a woman, with a routine look on their faces: “It has been reported that you have been inappropriately voyeuristic towards the child next door to you.”
Shoucheng Zhu was stunned, and the fat nanny’s appearance came to mind, followed by a burst of tears and laughter.
Are people in the United States that sensitive?
He replied with panache, “It was a misunderstanding. I think the lady is a bit paranoid.”
The policewoman said, “But in our case, you are on record.”
Shoucheng Zhu was confused: “What record?”
“Sir, may I ask, was it you who used the Internet to log on to a child pornography website a week ago and downloaded some pictures with inappropriate content?” The male police officer asked, “Or was it someone else in this family?”
The corner of Shoucheng Zhu’s mouth stiffened: “What makes you …… say that? What is the evidence?”
The male police officer said, “That website, one of the main sites that were monitored after the official takeover, in order to detect potential □ers.”
Shoucheng Zhu’s heart burst into flames and his eyes widened: “You’re fishing for law enforcement! What right do you have to monitor other people’s computers? Besides, I clicked into that website, it was just a misunderstanding, a mistake! I downloaded the picture just because I was curious!”
He thought that it was just a few pictures, and the other party would not make himself a key observation.
Sure enough, the policewoman said, “Yes, we really can’t rule out the possibility of misadventure, but because someone reported it, we still have to come and do a routine questioning.”
Not allowing Shoucheng Zhu to relax, the male police officer picked up a sentence: “…… so, we need to immediately clear the contents of your computer, please cooperate.”
