I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 1918: Bullying Incident
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Without giving Lin Yi a chance to ask more, the few of them hurriedly got into the car and rushed towards the crime scene.
“Boss, what happened?”
“There’s a child who was bullied in school. He’s not in good condition and is receiving treatment in the hospital. Now that the parents have called the police, we are going to the hospital to investigate.”
Lin Yi frowned.
“How old are the kids? Was this school bullying?”
“Junior High. We don’t know the specifics yet, but the parents said the attackers were all students from the school. Over ten kids ganged up on one, so it seems like school bullying.”
“Let’s go check it out first.”
Before understanding the full situation, Lin Yi couldn’t say much, but he had always been deeply disgusted by such incidents.
They needed to get to the hospital to understand the details.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Zhonghai Third Hospital.
It was also a tertiary hospital like Huashan Hospital.
However, its medical equipment and the doctors’ expertise were not on the same level.
With Li Chuhan’s qualifications, she could only be a cardiac surgery director at Huashan Hospital. But here, she would easily be the dean.
The contrast between the two was stark.
Zhonghai Third Hospital was less crowded, unlike the bustling Huashan Hospital.
Upon arrival, Gu Yiran contacted the victim’s family and followed their directions to the orthopedic ward in the first inpatient building.
The hallway was quiet, with most rooms empty. Occasionally, a family member would come out.
Despite the gap in medical standards compared to a top-tier hospital like Huashan Hospital, the lower cost made it a preferred choice for families with limited means or for minor surgeries.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At the door of the ward, Gu Yiran knocked politely and entered.
There were three people in the ward. Other than a middle-aged couple, there was another person lying on the bed.
Judging from their looks, the middle-aged couple should be in their forties. Their faces were dark, and there were wrinkles at the corners of their eyes. There were calluses on their hands. They seemed to be people who had come to Zhonghai to work.
Just as Lin Yi had expected, the man’s name was Sun Fu, and the woman’s name was Han Guizhi. The couple had come to Zhonghai from Chuansheng to work.
Although a carpenter’s income was not high, he could still maintain his living expenses.
The couple looked worried, but when they saw Lin Yi and the other two enter, Han Guizhi burst into tears.
“Officers, you’re finally here.”
“Sister, don’t be agitated. Tell us slowly. We will help you. We will definitely bring you justice.” Gu Yiran comforted her.
Subconsciously, Lin Yi and Li Xianghui looked at the head of the bed.
There was a little girl lying on the bed. She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old and was also looking at the two of them.
But he could tell that there was another bruise on her forehead.
The girl’s name was Sun Peipei. She studied in Yucai High School in Zhonghai and was in her third year of junior high school.
“Officer, we have no power or influence. Now that something like this has happened, we have to rely on you to seek justice for us.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Sister. This is for sure. With such a thing happening, we have a responsibility.”
Under Gu Yiran’s comfort, the couple’s mood improved a lot. Lin Yi went forward and said,
“Excuse me, I’ll take a look at the child,”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
The couple made way for Lin Yi as he walked towards Sun Peipei.
However, just as he was about to reach out, he suddenly realized that Sun Peipei’s body was trembling. Her eyes were filled with fear as she stared fixedly at Lin Yi. Her hands were still clinging onto the bedsheets, showing extreme resistance.
Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
This was a natural reaction for self-preservation. It was human instinct.
Needless to say, she must have been bullied often in school. Moreover, this might have gone on for a long time. Otherwise, she would never have developed such a habit.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m a police officer, I’m here to protect you.” Lin Yi smiled.
Sun Peipei’s body trembled violently, and her eyes were filled with fear. It was as if they had been filled with water for a lifetime and were about to overflow.
Even though Lin Yi had revealed his identity and revealed a friendly smile, it didn’t change the conflict in her heart.
“Daughter, don’t be afraid. The police are here to help us.”
Han Guizhi grabbed Sun Peipei’s hand. “Tell the police about what happened at school. Dad and Mom are here. Don’t be afraid.”
Under Han Guizhi’s comfort, Sun Peipei’s mood improved a lot.
Lin Yi also tried to lift Sun Peipei’s blanket.
Even though these things could be learned from the attending doctor, he still wanted to see it for himself so that he could be at ease.
Lin Yi saw that her right leg was covered in a thick layer of plaster.
Unless he was wrong, it should be a fracture.
Lin Yi walked to the other side and pulled up the leg of her pants.
He was surprised to find that Sun Peipei’s thighs were covered in bruises.
There were even two circular scars.
“What happened here?” Lin Yi asked.
“They, they burned it with a cigarette butt…”
Burn scars…
Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran frowned. They had dealt with school bullying cases before, but this was the first time they had seen such a bad case.
Compared to school violence, they hated school bullying more.
Because the latter would suffer more psychological trauma and even mental damage than the former!
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He was surprised to see that the girl’s ankle was also bruised.
“What happened here?”
“I fell,” Sun Peipei whispered.
“Fell?” Lin Yi asked, “How did you fall? Did you fall in gym class?”
“They told me to jump from the second floor. When I didn’t agree, they hit me. Then I jumped into the flower bed downstairs and sprained my ankle.”
“How did this happen?”
Lin Yi’s face had darkened considerably.
“I jumped from the second floor again, but this time they picked a different spot. There wasn’t a flowerbed, so I landed on the ground and broke my leg.”
“Boohoohoo…”
Hearing her daughter speak, Han Guizhi cried even harder.
“They’re too much, bullying us because we’re from out of town. Officers, you must help us.”
“Don’t worry. Once I get to the bottom of this, I’ll make sure justice is served and they don’t go unpunished.”
Responding quietly, Lin Yi pulled down the girl’s pant leg.
He lifted her shirt to her chest, revealing no cigarette burns on her abdomen but many bruises, clearly from being pinched.
Next, Lin Yi rolled up the sleeves of her hospital gown, finding cigarette burns on her right arm.
Additionally, there were several small cuts. Though they had scabbed over, they were still clearly visible.
“How did these happen? Were they made with a knife?”
