Ch 18

The first step is to check the monitoring, check with the invigilator of the exam in the classroom, check the draft paper, and finally call the student to ask.

The principal took the invigilator for the exam that day and Teacher Dou to accompany the deputy investigator to watch the fast-forward version of the monitor. It turned out that he was writing all the time, with both hands on the table, sleeves up, and he only wore a watch on his hand.

The camera of Liu Zhong high school is very high-definition. If you zoom in you can clearly see what he is doing.

Ding Xuerun looked very normal, but the student sitting next to him… 

The investigator pointed to the screen: “Who is this student and what is he doing?”

He pointed to Lou Cheng.

“He is sick,” the invigilator said.

The investigator frowned: “I don’t know what he is doing lying on his stomach all the time. Is he getting the answer? Does he have the question?”

“He has no questions,” the principal was a little embarrassed when he said it. “In fact, he is the only student in our whole school with a zero score in the exam. The classroom has a signal blocker. Neither of the two students has ever been out of the classroom, so it is impossible for them to receive answers from outside.”

It took about two hours for several people to watch all the surveillance videos of the exams for all the subjects seriously.

The investigator did not find any problems, but…

“This student, who is sick, he was sick for three days, lying on the stomach for three days, without writing a word, just lie down and look at the one next to him. Is their relationship very good?”

Teacher Dou said: “These two students are in our class. You can rest assured that the student you are talking about really knows nothing. It is impossible for anyone to copy his answers.”

“Then how did he get into your Liu Zhong high school? And not expelled yet?” 

The investigator asked a real question, and Principal Zhou almost wanted to tell him the child’s surname directly! He lowered his voice and said: “His mother is Yue Yun.”

Yue Yun is a local women entrepreneur and big boss of a real estate company.

The investigator stopped asking so many questions as soon as he heard it and then checked his draft paper. Liu Zhong high school kept the draft paper of the students in good condition. Each examinee must write his name and test number on the draft paper. Then put all the draft papers in each examination room into a file bag for management.

It’s very convenient to find when we need to check.

The investigator found a problem: “Why does he write so few drafts? Even in English, Liberal arts, Math, and Physics. Why is his draft paper so clean?”

“Actually, this student just transferred from another school. On the day he came, I asked him to write a set of exam papers,” Principal Zhou explained, “It is the monthly exam papers issued by our school. I gave it to him as soon as he came. He also got full marks on the exam, and I watched him also only write a few drafts.”

Because of the doubts, the investigator decided to test the student himself.

In the afternoon, Ding Xuerun was still in class and was suddenly called out. At the same time, Chen Zhibang was called out.

“What’s the matter? Why is Teacher Dou has such a serious expression…”

“I seem to know, didn’t the ranking come down that day? The academic committee went to the office afterward saying that there was a mistake in the grade result. And he said something about Ding Xuerun?”

“But Ding Xuerun is the first in all subjects! What kind of mistake can he have? Who can he copy? Who can make him get a full mark…”

Chen Zhibang did go to Teacher Dou that day, but he didn’t point it out. Instead, he said: “Teacher Dou, are there any errors in the entry of scores in this exam…”

“The exam papers are all sent out, how could they be entered incorrectly?”

“I mean, isn’t some people’s scores a little bit exaggerated…”

“Who are you referring to? Is there any evidence?” 

The academic committee complained too frequently and annoyed Old Dou, and he dared to make up things without evidence!

Chen Zhibang did see it and was convinced that his results were untrue, so he came to complain. He clearly saw Lou Cheng conspiring with Ding Xuerun that day. Lou Cheng went to the men’s room to hide it, and when he found out, he warned him. Isn’t this a problem?

But he didn’t dare to mention Lou Cheng’s name.

Old Dou sent him away: “Study hard, don’t delve into crooked ways, your grades are so good, work hard for a year and a half, there is still room for improvement.”

He is the headteacher and naturally knows Chen Zhibang’s details.

Chen Zhibang’s family is quite rich.

His uncle contracted the school cafeteria, and the family had something to do with the education system. After Old Dou didn’t believe him, the matter stopped.

Chen Zhibang went home and told his family about this: “There is someone in our class who has taken the first rank in eight subjects, and he was absent in the remaining one subject, which was Chinese.”

“I knew they bought the answer before the exam.”

“He cheated, it’s not fair. “

“But the teacher did not believe my words.”

“His family had something to do with the education system, so he reported the incident to the Education Bureau, which attached great importance to it and repeatedly asked him, “Are you sure he bought the answer?”

“Anyway, he prepared in advance, and I found out that his score is almost perfect for all subjects, and his total score is 888 of 900 in the exam. It is possible cause he missed one of the exams.”

This score is too high that it is suspiciously high.

After Ding Xuerun and Chen Zhibang were called away together, Lou Cheng quickly realized what was going on. He ignored the fact that he was still in class and dashed to the front door of the classroom to see the grades posted on the front door board.

At a glance, he saw Xiao Ding, who scored zero in Chinese, and he was unexpectedly ranked sixth in the class!

The full mark in the back row are 150 for math, 150 for English, 100 for physics…all ranked first in the individual subjects, which is spectacular!

This really shocked Lou Cheng. Screaming in his heart, damn Ding Xuerun, how dare you! How can you copy all of them and get full marks! You are not afraid of the consequence!

Something happened now! !

Lou Cheng ran out after him. When Old Dou saw him, he scolded: “What are you doing out here? Go back to class!”

Ding Xuerun looked at him, and the two looked at each other.

Ding Xuerun shook his head at him and said in a soft inaudible voice: “It’s okay, Lou Cheng, you go back to the classroom.”

Lou Cheng found a reason for going to the bathroom, but he followed them sneakily behind to the principal’s office on the sixth floor.

What was this about?

Lou Cheng was so frightened, why entered the principal’s office?! Isn’t it about expelling Xiao Ding? ! He was eavesdropping at the door, but the people inside didn’t speak loudly, and he couldn’t hear clearly.

Principal room.

After Ding Xuerun entered, he looked a little “at a loss”, as if he didn’t know why he was called.

Principal Zhou looked at Ding Xuerun apologetically and said, “Student Ding Xuerun, I called you over today, just to let you do a set of exam papers on the spot, so let’s do an investigation.” In order to prevent the students from thinking too much, he didn’t say that Ding Xuerun was reported by someone to have bought the answer, he just said: “You just have to perform as usual. Just finish writing this exam paper here. Here is the pen and draft paper.” 

The investigator was sitting next to him, looking at the students who came in with him.

The principal did not explain about the anonymous letter that was stuffed into his office through the crack of the door that day was from Chen Zhibangsai. According to Teacher Dou, after the exam results, Chen Zhibang once went to him and said there was a problem with the results, but he could not produce evidence or testimony.

So whether or not Chen Zhibang was the one who reported to the Education Bureau, the principal intended to ask the student to come over and see for himself.

Principal Zhou completely believed in Ding Xuerun after watching the surveillance. After all, Ding Xuerun sat in his office more than a month ago and wrote three main subject exam papers in less than three hours, and his scores were extremely high.

The investigator didn’t know that this was the student who reported, but he knew it well in his heart, so he nodded and didn’t ask.

The investigator took the exam paper out of the sealed bag. He hadn’t even opened the test paper to read it when they come suddenly. If the student can do it and does it correctly, there is no problem; if he can’t, and is staring at the test paper at loss, there must be a problem.

After sitting down, Ding Xuerun unscrewed the cap, and said, “Principal Zhou, is this the only exam paper? Will it be all right after I finish it?”

Principal Zhou nodded, “Yes, you are free to leave once you have finished writing.”

Although it’s just one. The exam paper contains all the problems in each subject. In order not to waste time, we directly printed out such a comprehensive exam paper for him to do. The difficulty of the exam paper is more difficult than the unified examination, and it is a lot more difficult. Ordinary top students may not be able to do it. Yes, if the student’s grades are true, then this exam paper will definitely not trouble him.

Ding Xuerun also nodded, picked up his pen, and began to write the exam paper without a pause-this is what he is best at.

And Chen Zhibang was sitting next to him with a pale face. He seemed a little frightened by the battle, but at the same time, he didn’t think Ding Xuerun could really write.

Old Dou saw that his expression was not very good, so he patted him on the shoulder and whispered: “It’s okay, wait for him to finish writing.”

He didn’t make it clear in his words, nor did he mean to criticize Chen Zhibang. He just let him see with his own eyes that Ding Xuerun’s results did not have any mistake.

Soon, the trace of confidence in Chen Zhibang’s heart faded away as time went on!

Because Ding Xuerun is really doing the exam! And it’s fast! The most powerful thing is that he can hardly write a draft. It can be seen that his mental arithmetic ability is very strong and his thinking is so clear, that he has an idea in his mind before he writes the answer.

Lou Cheng was listening to the crack of the door.

He heard nothing.

Somehow, he suddenly bumped into the doorknob and then crashed into the principal’s office.

Lou Cheng: “…” 

The principal looked at the students who came in suddenly: “…”

“Lou Cheng, what are you doing? Why didn’t you knock on the door?”

“Er, er… the door is not closed…” He was empty-handed, and his eyes could not help glancing at Ding Xuerun, who was sitting in front of the principal’s desk with his back straight and his head buried in the writing, and said nonsense, “I’m here to read the review book.” 

The principal’s mouth twitched: “Your review is for a month. You finished reading last week.”

“I suddenly felt that I had committed a serious mistake. The more I thought about it, the more regretful I became. I was crying in pain, so I came again…” He came to the scene with hatred on his face.

The principal waved his hand helplessly: “You go out first. I still have something to do here.”

Teacher Dou, who was silent next to him, suddenly said: “It’s okay principal, there is still time before my fourth-period class. I’ll watch Lou Cheng’s back for review.”

Lou Cheng: “…” 

After Old Dou took the disobedient Lou Cheng out, he walked a little further away and lectured him: “Didn’t I tell you to go back to class? What are you doing? You are eavesdropping on the door, aren’t you? Lou Cheng, don’t you know…”

He likes to talk very much. He still likes to talk when his voice is like that. Lou Cheng is so annoyed when he hears that. He interrupts directly: “What is Ding Xuerun writing? Review? Will he be expelled??”

“What do you think? He is writing the exam paper, and he can leave after he finishes it.”

When Lou Cheng heard the words “writing the exam paper”, his expression froze: “It’s over…”

“What’s over?”

Lou Cheng didn’t care about him and just ran away without fail. His mind is full of  Ding Xuerun buying the answer! He is going to be expelled!

With the strictness of Liu Zhong high school, it is already generous enough to be able to accommodate one Lou Cheng, but what does Ding Xuerun have? He will definitely be expelled! Then the school took the opportunity to warn the students that this is the end of cheating…

Lou Cheng ran down the stairs and directly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

It is rare for Yue Yun to receive a call from his son in a month. First, she is too busy, and second, Lou Cheng is too mischievous and playful.

As soon as she answered the phone, she heard her son say: “Mom, you call the principal, let’s donate another building to the school…”
