Chapter 571 The top five!
"Teachers, how's your luck?"

It is very common for teachers in rural areas to get together to play mahjong for fun after school, which is very common across the country.

It’s just that Chen Xiao’s appearance was too abrupt.

So much so that those teachers almost thought that it was the school leaders or the gamblers who came.

"Who are you?"

After the teachers were stunned for a few seconds, a male teacher couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Hello, teacher. I am from another place and I am a criminal investigation consultant. I came here to investigate a case. Here is my ID, please take a look."

People are out of town.

When you are in an unfamiliar place, it is not a bad thing to be more polite and courteous to strangers.

After the teachers took Chen Xiao's ID and saw that he was a criminal investigation consultant from the Shenzhen Police Department, their faces became a little unnatural.

Because...he is still a policeman!

At this time, the male teacher who spoke at the beginning couldn't help but laugh:
"Advisor Chen, have you informed our local police station about your investigation?"

"I haven't gone yet. Don't worry, everyone. Teachers are also human beings. They need some entertainment after work, so playing cards is normal!"

"Right, right, right. We are just a few old friends playing small cards. We don't gamble big money!"

Chen Xiao nodded, and then asked: "Everyone, who has taught in this school for the longest time?"

The teachers were puzzled by this question.

But at this moment, all the teachers' eyes turned to another male teacher.

The male teacher was not the oldest, he was of average age.

Chen Xiao also looked at him at this time and asked, "Are you the one who has been teaching for the longest time?"

"I guess so. I've been here since I started working. It's been almost fifteen years."

When he heard the time of fifteen years, Chen Xiao immediately knew that this was the person he was looking for.

But it is still unclear whether he taught Zhu Nianying.

"Then do you remember a female student named Zhu Nianying? Her grades were always among the best in the school. Um... she was a student about ten years ago. After she graduated from junior high school, her family promised her to Chang Quezi's family in the town."

At first the male teacher frowned, obviously not remembering it.

But when he heard that it was promised to Chang Quezi's family, the male teacher nodded immediately:

"I remember, Zhu Nianying from Zhuhe Village, she had very good grades! If she had taken the exam, she would definitely have become a top student in a key high school! But I don't know what her family was thinking, they didn't let her go to school with such good grades! And they didn't even let her take the high school entrance exam!"

Seeing the other party say this, Chen Xiao immediately replied:
"Then let's talk about this teacher together. Third brother, you should be able to play Mahjong here, right? Go and play for this teacher. The losses will be mine, and the winnings will be kept by the teacher."

I heard someone was playing mahjong.

Zhu Lao San rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Okay!"

While waiting for Zhu Laosan to come to the table, Chen Xiao took out a cigarette in the dormitory corridor and handed one to the teacher.

The latter’s surname was Luo. The area between his index finger and fingers on his right hand was yellow and black, indicating that he was a heavy smoker.

It was also because he was a heavy smoker that when he saw Chen Xiao smoking, he immediately smiled and said:

"Did Counselor Chen just learn to smoke?"

"Ha, mainly because I'm worried that Mr. Luo will get bored smoking alone."

"If you don't know how to smoke, don't smoke. This thing is not good for your health."

Chen Xiao put out the cigarette directly, and without further delay, he asked about the business: "Teacher Luo, I came to your Zhuguan Town this time to investigate Zhu Nianying's affairs."

Teacher Luo took a puff of cigarette and said, "They were from the same town and she was my student. When you first mentioned it, I didn't quite remember it. But now I remember it completely. That girl is missing, right?"

"Yes."

"Ah, her life is so miserable. If she was born into another family, maybe she would be a talent now? At the very least, she could have a good job in society. She is very resilient and hardworking!"

"As a teacher, I've seen many talented students, but there aren't many girls who are resilient and gifted in their studies. It's a shame that she has parents like that!"

As Mr. Luo spoke, his tone was full of indignation.

But these things happened many years ago.

It is meaningless to regret, feel sorry or hate anymore.

After talking about these things, Chen Xiao suddenly realized a problem.

That is, although he found another person who was related to Zhu Nianying.

But how can you find the information you want from this relationship?

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao frowned and asked:
"From what I understand, Zhu Nianying's personality is actually quite closed. Was she like this in school before?"

"Closed? I don't think so! She is a very helpful student. She has actually helped with many things in the class!"

As the teacher was speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Yes, she tutored quite a few students. The learning atmosphere in the class was very good at that time. No one was jealous of her good grades, and many of them asked for advice humbly. She also didn't act high and mighty because of her good grades. She would help anyone who asked her."

"If I remember correctly, there were five of them at the time. They called themselves the top five. The so-called top five meant that in every exam, the only place others could compete for was sixth place, and the five of them would take the top five."

"It's a pity that Zhu Nianying didn't take the exam, and the four remaining candidates all made it into the top 30 in the county! One of them was in the top 10, two were in the top 20, and one was in the top 30!"

"If Zhu Nianying were here, maybe there would be one more person in the top ten!"

The more Mr. Luo spoke, the more regretful he felt, and he even felt a sense of regret.

Chen Xiao listened carefully.

In his understanding, Huang Zhao's most obvious evaluation of Zhu Nianying is her tenacity.

As for the talent for learning Chinese medicine, Huang Zhao does not think it is very strong.

Fortunately, Zhu Nianying’s hard work can make up for his shortcomings!
Perhaps, Zhu Nianying does not have a particularly strong talent in studying, but she is hardworking and diligent enough.

"Do you have the contact information of the other four students among the first five?"

"There was one. As for the other students, I remember that they came to see me after they entered high school. But after that, I never saw them again."

Teacher Luo also sighed as he spoke: "Teaching students is like this. It seems that there are many students all over the world. But in fact, as time goes by, we send off batch after batch of students, but only a few of them can keep visiting us."

Chen Xiao understands this reality very well.

As people grow up, they have to face things that are no longer limited to study, teachers, family and other relationships and matters.

What they have to face is the biggest challenge in life - life.

"Then Mr. Luo, could you please give me the contact information of that student?"

"If you're asking about Zhu Nianying, it should be convenient. Besides, she came back to work after graduating from university. She's at the Xiyuan City First People's Hospital!"

Chen Xiao suddenly realized: "Then I should go visit her!"
