MTL - Blackstone Code-Chapter 31 Not knowing how to pretend is the most deadly

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

　　 Primary school students need to spend nine years in school, and then they can go to middle school for three years. After 12 years of education, they can go to university.

　　 But not everyone can enter a university. The current university acceptance rate is less than 17%. The main reason is two points.

　　 On the one hand, the cost of college is still too high for ordinary families. It is not like elementary and middle 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 the survey of 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. This is how Lynch could not go to college, although he filled out the application form very seriously.

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

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

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

　　 As for whether he can complete..., maybe he won’t know until after his tenure is over. There will always be people facing the world with naive thinking that things will turn around at the last second.

Of course, it is not absolute despair for the current education system. Every school has scholarships. Compared with the cruel competitiveness of public schools, the scholarships of private schools can be solved easily, and the school board can determine whom to issue. This is why people sometimes say that power is greater than or equal to wealth.

Michael’s son, Michael Jr., is such a “good boy” who can get scholarships every year. His academic performance is only part of a student. Life, extracurricular and after-school are also standards for measuring a student at school. At least he meets the following three items very well. The criteria for the scholarship.

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

At noon, little Michael borrowed three thousand yuan from a friend, which is far from enough. He needs at least two thousand yuan, but the school can basically borrow the extra money. To him.

　　 Those he can't borrow, no matter how much he says, people may not lend him money.

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

　　 At this time, Mrs. Michael has not returned from the hospital. In order to prevent the criminal from relocating and hurting Mrs. Michael, Mrs. Michael still stayed in the hospital and was protected by the police.

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

　　 Little Michael, who returned home, began to dig through the chests and cabinets to find cash. Mrs. Michael is a full-time housewife, which also means that she will put a lot of change at home for emergencies.

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

　　 When Michael was at home, he did not allow little Michael to enter the study without permission. Sometimes there were some files or evidence brought back for research in the study.

　　Once these things are damaged, they will be extremely passive in the detection of the case, and will also make Michael a scapegoat, but now these are not enough to stop the little Michael from venting his anger for his mother and at the same time prove his impulse.

　　 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 cautious.

He turned around at random, 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 his body. Deformation of clothes can also make people uncomfortable.

He opened the drawers in sequence 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, which was obviously tilted. A gold ring was found under his file.

　　 He took the ring in his hand and wanted to put it back. He thought it might be Michael or Mrs. Michael's, and when he put the ring back, he saw a line on the inner ring of the ring.

　　 Curiosity made him hold the ring in his hand again, and read it against the light, "My beloved Catherine."

Little Michael froze for a moment, his expression solidified so briefly in an instant. Obviously Mrs. Michael did not have the name Catherine in his name, and it is unlikely that Michael would be called "Catherine" by others, so there is no doubt that such a ring is Someone else's, at least someone is going to give it to others.

　　 Mrs. Michael was hurt last night, and she was desperately trying to find out the truth. All of this was shattered in front of this ring that was obviously full of traces of betrayal.

　　 An anger rose from the bottom of Michael's heart when he was young. They are being threatened, but Michael, the head of the family, betrayed the family!

　　 The original idea of ​​putting the ring back also disappeared. He held the ring in his hand with a cold face, and after a moment of silence, he decided to use his immature head, but pretending to be mature, he made a plan for himself.

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

　　At this moment, he feels that he has grown up, matured, and is not so naive anymore. Of course he will destroy this evidence.

　　 If he sells this ring, he will almost be able to collect the money.

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

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

　　 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 himself. This is also a manifestation of his inexplicable self-mature.

　　"A gold ring~www.novelbuddy.com~The owner of the antique shop looks like he is in his fifties, a little bald, and is wearing a brown short-sleeved dress.

　　 He was wearing a pair of glasses, looking down at the rolling gold ring in his hand and the inscription in the ring, then he looked up at little Michael, "How much do you plan to sell?"

Little Michael is actually a little nervous. This is the first time he has done this kind of thing. He doesn't want to be seen as childish. He just wants to be as mature as possible. He pretended to be calm and said, "Five hundred yuan at least!", and said He also added a sentence to prove the basis for his offer, "This is pure gold!"

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

　　 If you are a truly experienced person, you should be aware of some problems. No one will let the ring out of your sight, except for those who are immature but pretend to be mature.

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

　　 "Someone will sell a ring... Yes, the one you said last time, I understand, I will hold him back!"

　　 The antique shop quietly hung up the phone. Everyone knew that the antique shop was selling stolen goods. The reason why they were able to sell the stolen goods in an upright manner was not interfered by the police and the Bureau of Investigation. It was actually because of their "cooperation."

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

　　 If little Michael could listen to the complete 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 shop was selling stolen goods, but that they found clues from the antique shop.
