Blackstone Code

There are a total of 22 middle schools in Sabine City, that is, high schools. There are no junior high schools here, only elementary schools, middle schools and universities.

Pupils at primary school spend nine years in school before moving on to secondary school for three years, and after completing twelve years they go on to university.

However, not everyone is able to enter the university. The current university acceptance rate is less than 17%. The main reasons are two points.

On the one hand, the cost of university is still too high for ordinary families. Unlike primary and middle schools, the cost is relatively low. Not all families can afford the cost of four years of university.

On the other hand, the current education is essentially a joke. According to the survey of some consulting agencies, about 90% of college students come from private schools instead of public schools.

The failure of public education, including family financial problems, ultimately limited people's access to college, which is why Lynch couldn't go to college, although he filled out the application form carefully.

In other words, if you want to go to university, it is not important to study well, what is important is to have a family that can afford high fees, or a family with some power.

The current president of the Baylor Federation won the election mainly because of two aspects. The first is that he promised to complete the medical reform issue during his term of office, reduce medical expenses, and make medical treatment affordable for everyone.

Second, he promised to complete a new round of education reform during his term of office, and increase the proportion of students from public middle schools entering universities from about 10 percent to about 20 percent as much as possible, so people That's why he was chosen.

As for whether he can complete it... Maybe he won't know until the end of his term of office. There will always be some people who face this world with naive thinking that things will get better at the last second.

Of course, it is not absolutely hopeless for the current education system. Every school has scholarships. Compared with the brutal competitiveness of public schools, scholarships for private schools are easy to solve. The school board can determine who to send them to. This is why it is sometimes said that power is greater than wealth.

Michael's son Michael Jr. is such a "good boy" who can get scholarships every year. Academic performance is only a part of a student. Life, extracurricular and after-school are also the criteria for measuring a student at school. At least he is in line with the latter three items. Scholarship Criteria.

Coupled with his family background, little Michael has many good friends in school.

In one noon, Little Michael borrowed three thousand yuan from his friend, which was far from enough. He needed at least two thousand yuan, but the school basically used the surplus money gave him.

Those that he can't borrow, no matter how much he talks about, people may not lend him the money.

After eating lunch like chewing wax, he drove home regardless of his girlfriend's persuasion.

At this time, Mrs. Michael has not returned from the hospital. In order to prevent the criminal from coming back to hurt Mrs. Michael, Mrs. Michael still stays in the hospital and accepts the protection of the police.

Many criminals have an inexplicable silence. This is what the sheriff is afraid of, so there is no one in the room.

After returning home, little Michael began to search for cash from boxes and cabinets. Mrs. Michael is a full-time housewife, which also means that she will keep a lot of change at home for emergencies.

Soon little Michael found a few hundred dollars in change, but it was not enough, not enough for him to pay the bartender, he hesitated for a moment, and opened the door of Michael's study.

When Michael was at home, Michael Jr. was not allowed to enter the study room without permission. Sometimes there would be some files randomly placed in the study room, or some evidence brought back for research.

Once these things are damaged, it will cause great passiveness in the detection of the case, and it will also make Michael a scapegoat, but now these are not enough to stop little Michael from venting his anger for his mother and at the same time proving his impulse.

He stood at the door in a daze for a while, and then entered the room lightly. He knew that Michael was not at home, but he was still so cautious.

He turned around randomly at first, and then focused on the desk. He had seen Michael sometimes put the change in the drawer before. Not everyone likes to carry too many coins on their body. Out of shape clothes can also make people uncomfortable.

He opened the drawers one by one and found the money he wanted, but he was still not satisfied, he still wanted to continue to see what was in these drawers, until he opened the penultimate drawer, in a visibly warped A gold ring was found under the files.

He took the ring in his hand and wanted to put it back. He thought it might belong to Michael or Mrs. Michael, and in the process of putting the ring back, he saw a line of words on the inner circle of the ring.

Curiosity made him take the ring back in his hand and read out against the light, "My beloved Catherine".

Little Michael was stunned for a moment, and his expression froze for a moment. Obviously, Mrs. Michael did not have the name Catherine in her name, and it was unlikely that Michael would be called "Catherine" by others, so such a ring is undoubtedly Someone else's, at least someone's ready to give to someone else.

The injury Mrs. Michael suffered last night, and his deliberate efforts to investigate the truth, all of these were shattered in front of this ring, which was obviously full of traces of betrayal.

A wave of anger rose from the bottom of Michael's heart. They were being threatened, but Michael, the head of the family, betrayed the family!

The original thought of putting the ring back disappeared, and he held the ring in his hand with a cold face. After a moment of silence, he decided to use his immature head, but pretending to be mature, to make a plan for himself.

He wants to destroy this ring that may destroy his family harmony, and he pretends to be mature to give Michael, his father a chance to save the family, just like many TV shows.

At this moment, he felt that he had grown up, matured, and was no longer so naive, so he had to destroy this evidence as a matter of course.

If he sold the ring, he could almost make up the money.

Little Michael appeared outside an antique shop a little later. He learned from the chat between his father and his colleagues that some antique shops often sell stolen goods.

They never ask the origin of things, they all mark them as antiques, then buy them and issue a receipt.

Little Michael found an antique shop on the other side of the city. The reason why he ran so far was because he didn't want the owner of the antique shop to recognize him.

"A gold ring..." The owner of the antique shop looked to be in his fifties, a little bald, and wearing a brown short-sleeved dress.

Wearing a pair of glasses, he lowered his eyes to look at the tumbling gold ring in his hand, and at the inscription inside the ring circle, then he looked up at little Michael, "How much do you plan to sell?"

Little Michael was actually a little nervous. This was the first time he did this kind of thing. He didn't want to be seen as naive. He just wanted to be as mature as possible. He pretended to be calm and said, "Five hundred yuan is the least!", saying Then he added a sentence to prove the basis of his asking price, "This is pure gold!"

The owner of the antique shop pouted, "It's not that you said it was pure gold, it must be pure gold, I need to burn it with fire, wait for me for a minute!", he didn't care whether little Michael agreed or not, just Holding the ring, he turned and walked into the room behind him.

If it is a real experienced person should be aware of some problems, no one will let the ring out of their sight, except for those who are immature, but pretend to be mature.

The owner of the antique shop walked into the back room, picked up the phone silently, and dialed a private number.

"Someone comes to sell a ring... Yes, the one you guys talked about last time, I understand, I will hold him back!"

The antique shop hung up the phone calmly. Everyone knew that the antique shop was selling the stolen goods. The reason why they were able to sell the stolen goods in a fair manner without being interfered by the police and the Bureau of Investigation was actually because of their "cooperation".

They are also one of the eyes of the police, or the agents of the Bureau of Investigation!

If little Michael could listen to the entire conversation between his father and his colleagues that day, he would know that the core of the conversation between Michael and his colleagues was not that the antique store was selling stolen goods, but that they found clues from the antique store.
