Chapter 19 second quarter

The professor's apartment of the University of Technology is located in the northwest corner of the school's family area. It was built in the past two years to encourage and introduce talents.The apartment was sold to academicians, scholars and a group of professors under the age of 40 at an average price much lower than the market price, which once caused some controversy. We took the elevator up to the fifteenth floor.The light in the corridor is not very good, Qin Siwei turned towards Room 1502 with a seal on the door: "That's Wei Pingqing's home." He rang the bell for room 1501.After about a minute, the door opened, and a man in brown striped cotton pajamas and flip-flops looked at us suspiciously.It seemed that he had just woken up, his hair hadn't been combed yet, and his beard hadn't been shaved yet.

"Teacher Fan?" Qin Siwei showed his ID. "You..." Fan Rong hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you are here for Wei Pingqing's business. Please come in, please come in." This is a modest two-bedroom apartment. The decoration is very particular, and the furniture decoration is also expensive, but it is obviously neglected to clean.On the sofa in the living room, shirts, socks and trousers are piled up in a mess, as well as a lot of magazines and photocopied materials; cigarette ashes and bread crumbs are scattered on the coffee table; on a cherry wood dining table near the kitchen, several bowls of instant noodles are piled up and McDonald's paper bags; a striped, grease-stained tie hung on the back of a chair by the table.

"I'm sorry, it's a mess here." Fan Rong lowered his head and tidied up the sofa, and gave us a place to sit, "My wife went to the United States as a visiting scholar and came back in October. I usually don't bother to tidy up. What kind of tea do you drink? " "No, we just want to know something about you." Qin Siwei said. "Oh, Dean Hu called me just now." Fan Rong brewed two cups of Tieguanyin for us, "Oh, it's really scary. I never thought that this kind of thing would happen to me." "Wei Pingqing is your neighbor. Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

"This...is really not a coincidence." Fan Rong showed embarrassment, "I had dinner with a colleague last night and drank a few more glasses of wine. I fell asleep on the sofa when I got home. I didn't know anything. In the morning, the police car I heard it coming, but I was very dizzy at the time, so I didn’t get up. It was only a few minutes ago that Dean Hu called, and I didn’t know that Wei Pingqing was dead.” "What time did you arrive home yesterday?" Qin Siwei would not easily believe Fan Rong's words. "Uh...it was around ten o'clock." Fan Rong hesitated, "It was about half past nine when we left the restaurant...or was it already ten o'clock? Hey, I really can't remember. I was already drunk at the time, The road is not stable, Wu Jingyi drove me back, I really can’t remember the time.” He thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head, “Why don’t you ask Wu Jingyi. He left in a hurry yesterday, and his purse was left behind I'm here. I just called him and he'll be here in a minute."

"I see." Qin Siwei changed the subject with some disappointment, "We heard that you and Wei Pingqing used to be classmates and worked together for many years. According to your understanding, who did he have conflicts with?" Fan Rong hesitated for a few seconds before saying slowly, "I know what you want to ask. You may have heard that our relationship is not very good." "Why?" Qin Siwei asked back. "It's a long story to say." Fan Rong sighed, "Well, Wei Pingqing is my younger brother, he is three years younger than me. After graduating from Ph. I went to the city to work, but I couldn't find a job, so I arranged for him to work as a dormitory administrator in the Student Management Office through my relationship. Now that I think about it, I was really blind at the time, I didn't expect him to be so insidious!"

He added some tea for us, and sighed again: "Well, I used to think that Wei Pingqing was a good person, very frugal, and very motivated, but he was a bit competitive, and he was better than others in everything, which made him feel pretty good. Tired. Unexpectedly, it was this "good" junior who secretly plotted against me. I wrote a paper last year and used a relatively complicated mathematical model. Wei Pingqing is an expert in mathematical modeling, so After I finished the draft, I printed a copy for him, and asked him to check if there was any problem with the model. He helped me complete the model, and gave me the revised draft a month later. I was so grateful at the time, and specially invited him to eat I had a seafood meal. However, who knew that he would put my own name on the article I wrote and publish it first. The most hateful thing is that when I applied for the qualification of doctoral supervisor at the end of last year, he actually beat me back and accused me of plagiarizing his paper! I have It's hard to argue, but if you think about it, you won't get angry."

"Since he plagiarized your article, you can appeal." I said. "There's nothing to say, the order in which the articles were published is clear." Fan Rong smiled wryly, "More importantly, the leaders in the courtyard are more willing to believe Wei Pingqing. Because I am already thirty-eight, and he is only thirty-eight." Five years old." "Does it matter?" "It has a lot to do with it." Fan Rong gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know that in the past, the youngest Ph.D. Going up, the School of Economics can have the youngest doctoral supervisor in the history of the school. This is a show of face, and it is also a political achievement project of the dean's secretary. Therefore, although they do not completely believe Wei Pingqing's words, they still accept his evidence. Of course, For me, they were benevolent, they did not report to the school, but internally decided to suspend the recruitment of graduate students for one year. What else can I say? If the matter really gets to the school, and I can't produce evidence of Wei Pingqing's plagiarism, then I'm afraid I will going to be fired."

I forgot to hear someone once said that as long as there are people, right and wrong cannot be avoided, and fights cannot be avoided.Now it seems that this is too brilliant. "Did you talk to Wei Pingqing about it face-to-face afterward?" Qin Siwei asked him, "Or do you plan to stay away from each other forever?" "I went to him and wanted to ask him why he framed me, but I never provoked him. But he hides from me all day long, so he must be guilty." "Do you know who else he has conflicts with?" "That's too much." Fan Rong thought, "Wei Pingqing is too top-notch to tolerate others. Many people have complained to me in private in the past, and I have always excused him. If he didn't usually offend everyone It’s gone, so there’s no such thing as anonymous letters—you know about anonymous letters, don’t you?”

"We have learned something about it." Qin Siwei said, "What do you think of this matter?" "It must have been written by someone from the college." Fan Rong took a sip of tea and said meaningfully, "I can't guess who wrote it. But it shouldn't have much to do with Wei Pingqing's death, right?" "It's up to us to judge whether there is any relationship." Qin Siwei said calmly. "Well, that is, that is." Fan Rong was a little embarrassed.At this time the doorbell rang, and he got up quickly to open the door. A tall and sturdy figure rushed into the room like the wind. "You said that Wei Pingqing was killed. Is it true?" This man looked thirty-five or sixteen years old, with beads of sweat on his apple-like round face, and a strong Shandong accent in his accent.

He strode into the living room, saw Qin Siwei and me on the sofa, with a blush on his face, turned his head and said to Fan Rong who was chasing after him, "Hey, there is a guest, why didn't you tell me earlier?" "You also have to give me a chance to speak." Fan Rong complained.He made an introduction to us. This person is Wu Jingyi, an associate professor in the Department of Applied Economics. "Comrade from the Public Security Bureau." Wu Jingyi took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face, "Did Wei Pingqing really die? When did it happen?"

"It is said that it was last night." Fan Rong said. "Retribution!" Wu Jingyi said harshly.I saw Fan Rong pinch his back lightly, signaling him not to talk nonsense. "Why are you pinching me?" Wu Jingyi didn't take it seriously, "Did I say something wrong? This is called self-defeating for many injustices! A person like him..." "People are dead, what are you talking about?" Fan Rong interrupted him. "Mr. Wu, you said that Wei Pingqing did a lot of unrighteous things?" Qin Siwei never let go of any opportunity. "He's just a wolf in sheep's clothing!" Wu Jingyi's disgust was palpable, "On the surface, he looks like an upright gentleman and is polite to others, but secretly he will play tricks and harm others. Teacher Fan is good enough for him. Well, but what about him? Grace will revenge and accuse others of plagiarism. There is also Mr. Qiu who single-handedly promoted him, but Wei Pingqing wrote an anonymous letter to accuse him of his evil behavior." "Teacher Qiu...you mean Qiu Bin?" I was secretly surprised. "Yes, he is the old dean of our Department of Applied Economics, but he was replaced by Wei Pingqing later." "Wei Pingqing wrote an anonymous letter? What happened?" "Wei Pingqing is such a villain!" Wu Jingyi said, "After he became a professor in 2007, he began to miss the position of head of the department. He wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to the school's Disciplinary Inspection Office, exposing Teacher Qiu's acceptance of the cooperative unit. The 10,000 yuan bribe. Disciplinary inspection went to the cooperative unit to investigate, and the other party showed the bank transfer receipt, saying that Teacher Qiu had promised to admit the child under their leadership to the University of Technology, and the 10,000 yuan was used to make connections." "So, there are all the witnesses and material evidence?" Qin Siwei said, "Extorting bribes is no joke." "The problem is that Mr. Qiu admitted that he agreed to help the other party with their children's schooling, but he did not accept bribes, let alone ask for bribes. He said that the 10,000 yuan was a project start-up fund collected for Wei Pingqing. At that time, Wei Pingqing's bank card was entered incorrectly The password was frozen, so I borrowed his card for a transfer. Teacher Qiu insisted that he took out 10,000 yuan on the day he received the bank transfer and handed it to Wei Pingqing." "Then how does Wei Pingqing explain it?" "He insisted that the money was a 'facilitation fee' that Mr. Qiu asked him to bring a message to the cooperative unit. Mr. Qiu never gave him a penny. He said he was just helping to spread the word, but he was very concerned about this kind of work. Giving and accepting bribes is also very disdainful." Wu Jingyi sneered, "You don't need to ask, he wrote that anonymous letter. Except for him as a middleman, who can make things so clear?" "Then, has the matter of Qiu Bin asking for bribes been verified?" Qin Siwei asked. "Basically, Wei Pingqing's caliber is the same as that of the cooperative unit. Teacher Qiu insisted that he did not take advantage of the other party." Fan Rong took over the conversation, "Finally, in order to calm things down, Teacher Qiu took out 10,000 yuan and gave it to the other party. That's the end of the matter. Soon, the college re-competed for the head of the department, and Wei Pingqing succeeded in taking the position." "In other words, it ended with Qiu Bin's compromise, but it's still nothing?" "Both sides insist on their own words, and they both speak clearly and clearly." Wu Jingyi said, "But I always think this is a trap set by Wei Pingqing. Have you met Mr. Qiu?" "We talked to him in the morning." Qin Siwei said. "He's a bit of a cynical guy, but I don't believe he would openly ask for money." "You mean, Wei Pingqing asked for bribes from the cooperative unit under the banner of Qiu Bin, and at the same time tricked Qiu Bin to help him withdraw money. In this way, when the money is in hand, he can beat Qiu Bin down." I admired this dead man more and more. Professor Wei, the chain meter makes it almost seamless.Every step is carefully designed in advance, and the witnesses and evidences are all undeniably true.No wonder he can be a doctoral supervisor at a young age, and his IQ is not generally high. "At that time, many people in the department were discussing this matter, and they all said that Wei Pingqing was causing trouble." Fan Rong said sadly, "At that time, I was complaining for him. Now it seems that this kind of framing is his fault. Long term." "If you had listened to me earlier and been wary of Wei Pingqing, you wouldn't have been bullied by him." Wu Jingyi said to Fan Rong, "Hmph, in the end he also tasted the evil results of the anonymous letter. It's just a retribution for the world." "Okay, the person is gone, so just say a few words less." Fan Rong said impatiently, "I drank too much yesterday, do you remember when you sent me back?" "It was about 9:40 when we left the restaurant, and it took about ten minutes on the way back here. Anyway, it was exactly ten o'clock when I left." Wu Jingyi recalled, "You are really drunk enough. I drove up the third ring road only to find that I didn't take my purse, so I hurried to find a place to turn around and come back to get it, and I rang the doorbell for five minutes, but I didn't even wake you up." "I slept so hard that I didn't even hear it." Fan Rong took a brown leather bag from the coat rack at the door and handed it to him. "Ms. Wu, did you notice anything unusual in room 1502 opposite the door last night?" Qin Siwei reminded him, "Or did you notice any suspicious people around the apartment?" "No, nothing unusual." Wu Jingyi said without hesitation, "It was already very late at that time, and there was basically no one in the school, let alone suspicious people. Maybe I was in a hurry to go home and didn't pay attention." "You said just now that you rang the doorbell for five minutes?" I asked Wu Jingyi, "What time was it?" "Around ten-thirty. Actually, five minutes is a bit of an exaggeration, but I did ring the bell more than twenty times." I turned to Fan Rong and asked, "Teacher Fan, how is the sound insulation effect of this house?" "well enough." "If the doorbell next door rings, can you hear it here?" "That must be heard." Fan Rong said. Qin Siwei cast a puzzled look at me, but I pretended not to see it.At this time, his cell phone rang.The signal in the room was not good, so he ran to the balcony, covered his mouth and muttered for a while, and then signaled me to retreat when he returned to the house.
