Forensics

In the afternoon, in the small restaurant, the conversation continued.

Gu Yanchen asked: "Are none of you resisting?"

"Resist? How do you resist? Article [-] of the factory regulations prohibits fighting. Once you do something, if you are discovered or reported, you may be expelled from the factory."

Han Ziai smiled bitterly: "Of course, this rule is only used to restrict us. People like Sun Yushi who have a backer can be confident. We only have a high school education, and it is not easy to find such a job. It is also serious to say it." The factory has five social insurances and one housing fund, and it is still one of the top [-] in Penang City. Now the economy is not good, and many people are queuing outside, and even if they spend money, they may not be able to get in smoothly.”

"And when you lose your temper with them, they will smile and say, 'I'm joking.' Even sometimes, when they see you in a hurry, they will say, 'They are all colleagues in the workshop, don't be so stingy. Well.’ They’re just torturing people, they’re happy when they see people sad.”

Gu Yanchen asked: "To what extent will they bully others? Will there be violence or corporal punishment?"

Han Ziai pursed her lips: "Sometimes Sun Yushi is unhappy and will drag people to the storage room under the dormitory. There is no surveillance there and the sound insulation is good. They just physically punish or beat people there. She will slap and even Will force people, do some humiliating actions... No one dares to expose her."

When Han Ziai said this, he thought of something bad again, and covered his face.After a while, he let go of his hand and wiped his eyes.

Gu Yanchen asked, "Does the factory leader know about these things?"

Han Ziai said in a low voice: "This kind of thing happens more or less in every workshop. Even if you tell the leaders, they can't solve it. They will only blame the female workers who complained. Back then, in our workshop, there was no People dare to fight against Sun Yushi."

Gu Yanchen could almost guess that even if the leader wanted to talk to them.Those female workers will also use some understatement to dissolve it.

"We were joking."

"Just careless."

"I didn't hate her."

"We have a good relationship."

Not to mention the relationship between Sun Yushi and the deputy factory director, I believe it goes without saying.

Gu Yanchen continued to ask: "Has Zhou Yingying been targeted like this?"

Han Ziai recalled: "Zhou Yingying is a bit fat, so they have been making fun of them all the time. When we first came to work, once we were working in the workshop, a big black beetle flew in and landed on Zhou Yingying's clothes. At that time, she was terrified, stood up and screamed and shook off the bugs. Because she was fat, Sun Yushi who was beside her laughed at her..."

She paused, and said the adjective: "She said she looked like a 'dancing rhinoceros'. Since then, Zhou Yingying has gained another nickname, Rhinoceros."

For young girls, even if they are fatter, they still love beauty. Such a name is obviously derogatory.

"Another time, Zhou Yingying received a hairpin, which was a birthday present from her mother. Ever since she was a child, her mother hadn't thought much of her, and she rarely gave her a birthday present. She happily wears it every day. on."

"Then one day, Sun Yushi deliberately bought several identical pirated hairpins, and then distributed one to each of her fellow countrymen in the workshop. Zhou Yingying's face changed at that time, and she took off the hairpins on her head. Then Sun Yushi also hypocritically went to Zhou Yingying and said, "I think you look good in it, so I bought them the same style as yours.""

Doing this is even more excessive, it is simply disgusting people.

Shen Junci listened intently to the girl's description, frowning slightly.

The things that Han Ziai described were trivial things that seemed insignificant, and the timeline was a bit messy, and they basically said what they thought of. Gu Yanchen tried his best to inspire her, and explained the details of the time and place in detail.

After listening for a while, Shen Junci asked from the side: "Have you ever been treated like this before?"

This question sounds irrelevant to the current case, but it can make the girl in front of her tell more secrets.

Han Ziai nodded, with tears in her eyes: "I have also experienced a period. For some reason, Sun Yushi followed me and asked me to wash her socks. I was in the toilet, crying while washing. My defect rate failed, and I did two hundred squats in the storage room under the pretext of slowing down the entire workshop. My legs were trembling when I walked the next day.”

She wiped her eyes at this point, unwilling to recall those experiences: "When I was treated like this, the first thing I doubted was myself, did I do something wrong? It's hard for me to describe that feeling... all Co-workers are all going to do something, and it’s really hard to leave you alone. They will whisper behind my back, don’t eat with me, and avoid me like the plague. They have a common secret , but I was excluded from it.”

Although it has been a long time since she left that factory and quickly left that environment, thinking about it now still makes her suffocate.

Mental lingering will make people feel like winter every day, and such days must be very difficult.

Han Ziai picked up the paper cup, took a sip of water, lowered her head and curled up her body. It was a self-protective action, as if comforting her past self.

"At that time, I knelt down and wanted to blend in with them. I imagined that one day when I got up in bed, they would accept me and treat me well. It wasn't until I left that environment that I realized that it wasn't me who was wrong."

"I was in so much pain when I was bullied, it was my mother who noticed what was wrong with me and asked me to change jobs. I had insomnia and heart palpitations. Even so, I still wanted to persevere."

"My mother found out about my abnormality, hugged me and cried. How can anyone care about money? A bad salary is a big deal for your parents to pay you. They would rather see me earn less, and hope that I will be happy."

"Thinking about it now, if I hadn't left in time, I might have been driven crazy by them, or depressed, or even committed suicide."

Her parents loved her very much, and this kind of love saved her daughter's life.Han Ziai knew in her heart that if she didn't leave, she might be the one who died.

"During the last time I was leaving, they had their eyes on Zhou Yingying... Everyone was in the same workshop, and they couldn't hide. I reminded Zhou Yingying at that time that it was best to change jobs and leave them."

Gu Yanchen asked: "Has Zhou Yingying thought about leaving?"

Han Ziai: "Maybe she had this idea too, but her parents are a bit old-fashioned and stubborn. The week I was about to leave, I saw Zhou Yingying crying under the quilt. She said she told her parents. Her father Mom didn't take it seriously at all, and instead blamed her for being unsophisticated and offending her colleagues."

"No way, we don't have a high degree of education, and the salary in that factory is very good, and it is one of the few factories that will settle overtime pay, and the salary has never been in arrears."

Han Ziai lowered her voice when she said this, and looked out, as if she was afraid that the current boss would hear, "Take me as an example. I changed this job, and my salary was reduced by 2000 yuan a month."

She chose to give up, but many people would choose to endure it for the 2000 yuan.

"Later, after I left, Zhou Yingying had a bitter relationship with me for a while. Her parents refused to agree with her resignation, and said that it was a blessing for her to come in eight lifetimes, and her legs would be broken if she dared to resign."

"They told her about a poor bachelor in the village and forced her to marry. She didn't want to marry, thinking that if she married, her life would be over. Her father had a bad temper, called her stupid, and called her ugly. pig."

"If she doesn't take the monthly money home, she has to go back and marry. If she has a job all the time, the marriage can be postponed until next year. His parents are struggling to buy a house for her brother and collect the dowry. A layer of skin has been pulled off, and she even hates her parents."

Gu Yanchen listened carefully. This was also the content that broke out on the Internet before. Such parents naturally aroused the righteous indignation of netizens.After Zhou Yingying disappeared, her parents were bullied by the Internet, and netizens said that they were the indirect murderers who killed their daughter.

This is also one of the reasons why the Fourth Division decided that Zhou Yingying had left.

Probably because of this, Zhou Yingying's parents knew they were wrong and did not dare to force the factory and the police to find their daughter's whereabouts.

With such parents at home, such colleagues in the workshop, wolves in the front and tigers in the back, Zhou Yingying's life must be difficult.

Maybe it was possible, at that time Zhou Yingying really wanted to run away, but she couldn't escape.

"When I left, Zhou Yingying almost obeyed Sun Yushi and the others' requests. She told me that since they gradually accepted Tao Ya, they might also slowly accept her... and later on, I resigned. I'm very busy at work, and my contact with her is gradually decreasing, so I don't know."

"Tao Ya?" Gu Yanchen repeated the name.

This is the No.3 bullied female worker mentioned in the conversation.

Han Ziai nodded: "She was the first to be bullied, and she was also the first sheep."

Gu Yanchen said: "I see on the form, Tao Ya and Zhou Yingying are from the same town?"

Han Ziai said: "Yes, they used to have a good relationship. They are from the same town, and they seem to have known each other since childhood."

Gu Yanchen was keenly aware of a detail: "You said, Tao Ya was the sheep they chose at first, and then they gradually accepted Tao Ya. What's going on?"

Generally speaking, the rejection of a group is inertial, unless the target leaves, it will not be replaced easily.

It's like the classmates in the class sometimes collectively bully a certain person.

Only when that student transfers, or undergoes a major transition, do they move on to the next target.

Han Ziai said: "At the beginning, Tao Ya was bullied a bit miserably. They asked her to take their place on duty. They also asked her to go to the commissary alone to bring them everyone's snacks. Tao Ya kept silent, Do what they say. And there are some things that are too much, that was two years ago, I can't remember."

"As for the change in their attitude, it was because of one incident. During the previous winter vacation, our factory organized a team building and passed by a lake. There were tall reeds growing by the lake. We all thought that the reeds were growing on the ground. , I didn’t expect it to grow in the water.”

"When there were too many people, Sun Yushi stepped on the ground and fell into the water. The temperature was almost below zero that day, and there was some ice on the lake. The down jacket absorbed water, and her body kept falling."

"It was very dangerous at that time. Those men were far away from us, and there was no time to save them. Seeing that Sun Yushi was drifting further and further away, and she was sinking, Tao Ya took off her clothes and jumped down."

"I really admire Tao Ya's courage. She can do this to a person who bullied her... Her water skills are also average. She can swim but is not very proficient, but she still works hard. After saving Sun Yushi, she almost drowned to death, and she was also sick from the cold."

Speaking of this, Han Ziai sighed: "In all fairness, I can't do this."

Gu Yanchen also didn't know what mood and purpose this girl named Tao Ya had in desperately trying to save her "enemy".

Han Ziai continued: "Anyway, since then, Sun Yushi seems to have been really moved. She stopped teasing her, and told others that Tao Ya is the one she is protecting, and no one is allowed to bully her."

"Later, their relationship was very good, even so good that they were inseparable. Tao Ya would follow Sun Yushi closely and give her advice."

Then Han Ziai said some more information, mostly trivial matters.

She had been away there for a year before she dared to confide without fear.

Asking Han Ziai, they had a better understanding of the relationship between the female workers in this dormitory.

There are more than a dozen female workers, and the relationship inside is complicated, so naturally it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Gu Yanchen drew on the paper, trying his best to sort out the relationship between them.

Sun Yushi is like a wolf in the workshop.

Tao Ya was the first sheep. She reconciled with Sun Yushi, successfully got rid of her identity as a sheep, and turned to the wolf.

Han Ziai in front of her was the second sheep. She chose to save herself, resigned, and completely left that environment.

Zhou Yingying is the third sheep. She was missing and was found dead a year ago only recently.

Although the three girls have all been bullied, their fates are completely different.

Gu Yanchen put an asterisk on the name Tao Ya, but he still couldn't figure out the change.

"Has Tao Ya ever bullied you?"

Han Ziai shook her head: "I'm not sure, she didn't do anything to me directly, but she should have given me some advice."

"Did Tao Ya follow Sun Yushi and participate in the exclusion of Zhou Yingying?"

"She also participated, and she did it quite ruthlessly." Han Ziai said after a pause.

Gu Yanchen continued to add the relationship diagram: "That is to say, after Tao Ya was not bullied, she became Sun Yushi's accomplice?"

Han Ziai hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Sometimes, she rushes to the front."

This is like a rebellious sheep, leaving the weak group in order to protect itself.

Gu Yanchen suddenly remembered a sentence from Dostoevsky.

"A base soul oppresses another when it is freed from oppression."

He frowned and pondered. During this process, did Tao Ya evolve into a wolf because she was afraid of being hurt?

Or is it that she also has a wolf side in her heart?

Han Ziai paused and said, "However, this is quite normal. At first, when Tao Ya was bullied, Zhou Yingying didn't help her. Later, when Zhou Yingying was bullied, Tao Ya began to watch, and even made trouble. What fellow countrymen, What kind of good friends, sometimes, are only on the surface. Husband and wife are still in trouble, let alone fly separately, let alone a fellow countryman."

Afterwards, Gu Yanchen asked some more detailed questions, trying to restore the relationship between the female workers in the entire workshop from Han Ziai as much as possible.

Shen Junci also bowed his head and sorted out the information in his head.

After asking about Han Ziai, Shen Junci and Gu Yanchen's dishes came out.

Gu Yanchen ordered a few dishes that Shen Junci liked.

The dishes in this small restaurant are average, that is to say, at a passable level, no wonder the business is not so good.

Shen Junci whispered to Gu Yanchen while eating: "I think this is a bit like a group violence, and there are some PUA elements in it."

Gu Yanchen nodded: "Wait and look at the scene to see if we can find any further evidence."

Based on the information they have obtained so far, they are still unable to determine who the murderer will be.

After discussing the official business, Shen Junci took out his mobile phone to read the news, and the clerk of the pet shop sent him a video of the cat.

The kitten on the screen meowed twice, squinted its eyes and suddenly opened its mouth and yawned.Such a small cat can actually yawn.Shen Junci was healed instantly, and he replayed the video again.

Gu Yanchen heard the meowing of the cat: "Looking at the cat? Have you chosen the name yet?"

Shen Junci forwarded the video to him: "It's done, the big name is Xueya, and the nickname is Lianrong."

"The big name is very vivid, and the nickname is quite interesting." Gu Yanchen said casually, "We can make a box of mooncakes with Wuren."

Few people know the name Wuren.

Shen Junci's hand paused, wondering if Gu Yanchen knew something, or if he simply thought of moon cakes and made a casual joke.

The author has something to say:

Forensic doctor Shen looked down at his vest, it seemed to be still there, but it didn't seem to be there anymore.
