Blackstone Code Chapter 31: Understanding and pretending to understand is the most deadly

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

Students at the primary level spend nine years in school before moving on to secondary school for three years, and after twelve years of education they can progress to university.

However, not everyone can be admitted to the university. The current acceptance rate of the university is less than 17%, mainly for two reasons.

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

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

The failure of public education, including family financial problems, ultimately limited people's chances of going to college. That's how Lynch couldn't go to college, although he filled out the declaration form very carefully.

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

The reason why the current president of the Baylor Federation won the election mainly comes from two aspects. The first is that he promised to complete the health care reform during his term of office, reduce medical costs and make it affordable for everyone.

Second, he promised to complete a new round of educational reforms during his term of office, and to expand the proportion of students from public middle schools entering universities, from about 10% to about 20% as much as possible. , so people chose him.

As for whether he can complete it..., maybe he won't know until after his term ends, there will always be some people who will face the world with a naive thought that things will turn around at the last second.

Of course, the current education system is not absolutely hopeless. Every school has scholarships. Compared with the brutal competitiveness of public schools, the scholarships of private schools are very easy to solve, and the school board can decide to issue them. To whom, which is why sometimes people say that power is greater than wealth.

Michael's son, little Michael 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 in school. At least he is in the latter three. Items are in line with the scholarship criteria.

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

At noon, little Michael borrowed 3,000 yuan from a friend. This amount is far from enough. He needs at least 2,000 yuan, but basically all the school can borrow The surplus money was given to him.

For those things that he couldn't borrow, no matter how much he said, people would not necessarily lend him money.

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

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

Many criminals have an inexplicable silence plot, which is what the sheriff is afraid of, so the whole room is completely empty.

Little Michael returned home and began to rummage through the cabinets to find cash. Mrs. Michael is a full-time housewife, which means she will keep a lot of change at home for emergencies.

Soon little Michael found a few hundred yuan in change, but it wasn't 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, little Michael was not allowed to enter the study room without permission. Sometimes there were some files or some evidence brought back for research in the study room.

Once these things are damaged, it will cause great passiveness to the detection of the case, and will also make Michael take the blame, but now these are not enough to stop little Michael from venting his anger for his mother and proving himself.

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

He turned around at will, and then focused on the desk. He had seen Michael sometimes put change in the drawer before, not everyone likes to carry too many coins on their body, then Toys can deform clothes and make them uncomfortable.

He opened the drawers in sequence and found the money he wanted, but he was not satisfied, he wanted to continue to see what was in these drawers, until he opened the penultimate drawer, in a A gold ring was found under the visibly upturned document.

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

Curiosity led him to take the ring back in his hand and read against the light, "My Beloved Catherine."

Little Michael was stunned for a moment, and his expression instantly solidified for such a short time. Obviously, Mrs. Michael's name does not contain the name Catherine, and it is unlikely that Michael will be called "Catherine" by others. No doubt it belonged to someone else, at least someone who was going to give it to someone else.

The injury Mrs. Michael suffered last night and her zeal to find out the truth were all shattered in front of this ring, which was clearly full of signs of betrayal.

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

The thought of wanting to put the ring back also disappeared. He held the ring in his hand with a cold face. After a moment of silence, he decided to use him. He was not mature at all, but he pretended to be mature and made a plan for himself. plan.

He's going to destroy the ring that could disrupt the harmony of his family, pretending to be mature enough to give Michael, his father, a chance to save the family, just like a lot of TV shows.

At this moment, he feels that he has grown up, matured, and is no longer so naive, and it is only natural that he will destroy this evidence.

If he sells the ring, he'll almost be able to raise the money.

Little Michael appeared outside an antique shop a little later, and he learned from his father's chat with his colleagues that some antique shops often sell stolen goods.

They never ask about the origin of things, they label them antiques, buy them, and issue notes.

Little Michael found an antique shop on the other side of the city. The reason why he ran so far was that he didn't want the owner of the antique shop to recognize him. This was also a manifestation of his inexplicable self-esteem.

"A gold ring ~IndoMTL.com~ The owner of an antique shop looks to be in his fifties, somewhat bald and wearing a brown short-sleeved dress.

He wore a pair of glasses, and looked down at the gold ring that was rolling in his hand and the inscription inside the ring, and then he looked up at little Michael, "How much are you going to sell?"

Little Michael was actually a little nervous. This was the first time he had done such a 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 at least! ", and he added a sentence to prove the basis for his offer, "This is pure gold!"

The owner of the antique shop pouted, "It's not that you said it's pure gold, it must be pure gold, I need to burn it with fire, wait a minute for me!" Agreeing, he took the ring and turned around and walked into the room behind him.

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

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

"Someone came to sell a ring... Yes, the one you said 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 stolen goods. The reason why they were able to sell stolen goods in an open and honest manner without being disturbed 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 detectives 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 had found clues from the antique store.
