Back to the third grade

Chapter 90

If it was an ordinary petty theft, it would not be serious. Shen Man said that her Walkman was an original product brought back from Japan, which cost more than 3000. Lin Mei immediately told Teacher Zhao.

Teacher Zhao sat at the desk and listened and said: "Go back and tell the people in Shen Man's room that I will go to their dormitory at [-] o'clock after class in the afternoon. If anyone who steals comes out before then, I won't say anything. I can't find out in the end." , the people in their dormitory should compensate Shen Man together."

Lin Mei went back and told the truth.Without waiting for others to say, Shen Man shouted first: "Wait! This has nothing to do with other people, right? How can you let others pay for it?"

Lin Mei said with a serious face: "3000 yuan is not a small thing. It is almost enough to be a criminal case. Generally, theft of [-] yuan is a criminal case. You can calculate it yourself."

In the corridor after class, Lin Mei and eight people from Shen Man's dormitory stood in the corner.

Cheng Yan said: "Then let us pay..." She looked around, "Isn't it reasonable?"

Lin Mei wanted to try to see if she could scare people out, and said: "It's reasonable. This is like something falling from upstairs and smashing the passers-by below into the hospital. I can't find who threw it. All the people involved should be jointly and severally responsible. Now Shen Man lost his Walkman, and only the eight people in your dormitory have the keys. The lost time was during the hours from the end of get out of class in the afternoon to the end of evening self-study, except There are no other acquaintances. If you can’t find it, we will pay together.”

In the end, when these people returned to the classroom, their faces were all ugly.

After Lin Mei went back, Zhou Yu asked her in a low voice, "What did Teacher Zhao say? Did you find out who stole it?"

Lin Mei shook her head.She didn't know what Teacher Zhao planned to do in the afternoon. Anyway, after hearing what Teacher Zhao meant, she had already followed suit and made the matter very serious. It was not an ordinary dorm theft.And those who watched the excitement and felt that they had nothing to do with them may need them to pay for compensation now, which is different in nature.Maybe you can really find it?Thinking about Lin Mei made me a little excited.She has also suffered from this kind of co-living, if she can really catch one, it will be revenge.

The more Shen Man thought about it when she went back, the more she thought it was wrong. Originally, she thought the matter was quite simple, and it was Xu Peilan who stole it, so she just had to take it out after forcing her to admit it.As a result, it seems that she has offended everyone in the dormitory.

After the first class, she ran to find Lin Mei and said, "I think this matter should be forgotten, right? Just forget it."

Lin Mei can understand that Shen Man is not a person who is short of money if he can use an original product worth more than 3000 yuan.But she quietly reminded Shen Man: "If you are like this, others will say that you have wronged others in the end." It is not uncommon to be beaten.

"The best way now is to find out who stole it. It's not Xu Peilan, you just need to apologize to them solemnly." Lin Mei said.

Shen Man said awkwardly for a long time: "...I think it's her!"

It wasn't once or twice that Xu Peilan's hands and feet were not clean. She said that she used to have a facial cleanser, and she put it on the table when it was almost used up, and it disappeared as soon as she turned her face. Later, she saw that Xu Peilan was using it, and she couldn't say that it was misused. She stuffed things, "I said in the dormitory that this thing was about to be used up and I was going to throw it away, so I can't say that it's wrong for people to pick up things I don't want?" Anyway, it's quite uncomfortable.

Even if Lin Mei didn't regard Xu Peilan as a suspect at first, she still felt that this person seemed to like to take advantage of small things.

At noon, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu sat together to eat, Cheng Yan walked around looking for a seat after lunch, saw Lin Mei hesitated and came over to sit.

"Where to eat?" Cheng Yan said.

Lin Mei's impression of Cheng Yan still came from Teacher Chang's righteous words when she was "snubbed" by everyone. Cheng Yan must have something to say to her when she came here at this time, right?
Sure enough, after Cheng Yan mixed her bean fried meat and rice into a bowl of muddled rice, she said to Lin Mei in a low voice, "Actually, I don't think it's Xu Peilan. She didn't go to self-study at night, she should be dating Zhuge Ming."

Lin Mei and Zhou Hao stopped eating immediately, this is news!Because Xu Peilan and Zhuge Ming stood half a head taller than him.And usually I don't seem to find that the two of them are talking.

"Last Saturday, I saw Xu Peilan and Zhuge Ming eating jelly together outside, just the two of them, I guess they were talking." Cheng Yan said, "And later I recalled that when Xu Peilan didn't go to the evening self-study, Zhuge Ming It’s not going to go up, it’s not just that day, it’s already started.”

That being said, it's normal for Xu Peilan to refuse to say why she went there during evening self-study. It's okay to fall in love in the first and second grades, and it's okay to fall in love in the third grade if she doesn't go to evening self-study. up.

But after Cheng Yan left, Zhou Que offered another idea: "Do you think the Walkman will be at Zhuge Ming's place?" What if the two conspired?Xu Peilan took the things and hid them with Zhuge Ming so that she would not be afraid of being searched by others.

Zhou Qing went to He Qi after finishing his meal, and asked him to inquire around the boys' dormitory to see if there was an extra Sony Walkman beside Zhuge Ming.

Lin Mei seems to have seen Zhou Jing who was very serious in junior high school again, that girl who even if she didn't write her summer homework, she had to go through a lot of struggle in her heart if she wanted to lend her a copy.It's been a long time since she "rebelled", and Lin Mei misses her a little.

He Qi became excited when he heard that, rubbed his hands and said, "Leave it on me! Everyone in Zhuge Ming's dormitory has a walkman who usually listens to English tapes. Zhuge Ming also has one, but it must not be the original Sony one." !"

He came downstairs from the dormitory after receiving Zhou Jing's news, and the two of them stood outside and ran back quickly after talking.Lin Mei stood far away to let the two of them talk, Zhou Yu came back and said, "He said that tomorrow at the latest, he will definitely know if Zhuge Ming has another Walkman."

At noon, Xu Peilan hid in Lin Mei's bedroom.She was awkward staying in 219, everyone should talk and laugh as usual, and no one said a word to her, as if she was a transparent person.

She wanted to change the dormitory to Lin Mei's.She sat on the bed below with Huang Ling and said, "How nice this dormitory is for you. It's good for you as the dormitory head, and the squad leader. There are not so many things to do." She cried again while talking.

Almost everyone in the dormitory pretended to sleep with their bed curtains pulled over, but they were actually listening with their ears pricked up.

Huang Ling kept persuading her, but she didn't dare to tell her to change it.They didn't have an empty bed in their dormitory, so Xu Peilan would definitely have to change someone else when she came. 219 is like this now, who wants to change?

When it was almost time for class, Huang Ling called out: "Everyone get up, it's time to get up."

Huang Ling went back to 219 to get things, Wu Jiao got off the bed, pulled Huang Ling and whispered, "You can't let her come!"

Lu Zhiyi, who was on the bunk next to the door, stood on the bed to put on her clothes, and kicked the door shut, so as not to let people outside hear what they were saying in the dormitory.

Huang Ling said: "How can I tell her to move here? Who will move here when she moves here? It's not a matter of one word!"

Wu Jiao was relieved now, went back to get dressed, and said, "That's fine. Anyway, I heard her cry with you all afternoon, and I think she's really not a big-hearted person." It was all about their dormitory. They look down on her, even if they don't ask her to fetch water together at night, and don't ask her to take a bath, it can be said that they look down on her, because the body lotion she uses to wash her hair is bought from a roadside shop, not a supermarket For sale, so others despised her.

What's all this mess?

Lu Zhiyi came down from the upper bunk and said, "Don't tell me, I think if Xu Peilan wants to move out, many people are willing to change with her. There is a big money in their dormitory, what cosmetics, lotions and lipsticks are around Shen Man?" , Perfumes are all used by people in their dormitory, and they like to change clothes in their dormitory. Didn’t Cheng Yan wear Shen Man’s coat last time? I heard that it sells for thousands of pieces in Hong Kong. People who want to take advantage don’t No, if Xu Peilan wants to move out, there must be someone who wants to move in."

"That's just right." Wu Jiao said, "Actually, Shen Man is also to blame for this. Using so many famous brand products every day must attract thieves."

Lin Mei just came back to sleep in the dormitory, and she usually had sleepover meetings with everyone, that is to say, gossip about celebrity clothes, and so on. I really didn't know that everyone had so many things in private.

After she came out, she asked Zhou Yu: "Do you know that people in 219 change their clothes?"

Zhou Yu said: "It was Shen Man who lent clothes to others. Last time I heard her say that the one who borrowed her clothes returned them after wearing them for more than half a year without washing them, causing her to send them for dry cleaning. "

It can be seen that all the strange things are used to it.Being able to borrow a piece of clothing that needs to be dry-cleaned for half a year shows that Shen Man's generosity and good temper should be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After hearing so much, Lin Mei felt that Shen Man's generosity or showing off his wealth was also one of the reasons for this time.

"Maybe some people think that Shen Man won't mind losing a Walkman." Lin Mei said.That's why she dared to steal. She definitely didn't expect that Shen Man, who is usually so generous, would investigate this time, and she didn't expect that even Teacher Zhao knew about it now.

Zhou Yu sneered: "An original Sony Walkman, who would take it seriously if it was lost? Shen Man came to school, and it is probably the most expensive thing she brought. Parents will ask if it is lost. How could they not check it? ?”

But generally the Walkmans that everyone uses cost hundreds of dollars, and high school students have no concept of money.If he imagined Shen Man's family as millionaires, then maybe Shen Man would not care about a "small" Walkman.The average person uses more than 300, and Shen Man's more than 3000 is the same thing.

Zhou Que said, "No matter how rich you are, the money doesn't just fall from the sky."

As soon as He Qi arrived in the afternoon, he told Zhou Yu that the report had completed the task, and that there was no doubt in Zhuge Ming's cabinet. "The few of us asked Zhuge Ming to borrow socks, turned over his cabinet, and his bed, just his Walkman with more than 200 brands." We didn't even see a Sony hair.

Zhou Jie was obviously concerned about something else, she ducked to the side, Sanguan was shocked and asked: "...Do you usually borrow socks?" Borrowing a sweater or a coat is acceptable, but borrowing socks...is sweaty What about the feet?
He Qi immediately said that he never borrowed other people's socks to wear them! "They borrowed it from me!"

Zhou Que's expression became even more unbearable, "...do you still wear the socks worn by others?"

He Qi quickly rephrased: "I threw it all away."

Zhou Hao was coaxed by him, mainly because her boyfriend tried so hard to coax her, this kind of heart is worth touching.But he also said that he was not so easy to coax: "Bragging, how many pairs of socks do you have that can be thrown like this?"

In the afternoon class, everyone in 219 was a little absent-minded.Lin Mei focused her attention as soon as class started, and forgot about it completely. It was not until after class at five o'clock that Shen Man came to ask Lin Mei when Teacher Zhao would come over, and Lin Mei remembered that there was still this matter.In the end, I couldn't find anyone in the office. I asked someone that Mr. Zhao had a class in the afternoon and left at four o'clock.

Everyone in their office knew Lin Mei and said, "Why don't you call him?" The squad leader must have something to do when he came to the office to find someone.

Lin Mei hesitated, went out and said to Shen Man: "Mr. Zhao is gone, maybe he forgot about it?"

Shen Man felt a little regretful, but he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Forget it, I won't check anymore, if you lose it, just lose it."

Lin Mei had heard a lot about Shen Man on this day, and had a different impression of this girl. She knew her better than before. Hearing what she said, and seeing her relieved look, she said: "Shen Man Man, you know what it means to appease and raise a traitor..." In her three years of high school, the girls in her dormitory not only made a few friends, but raised a thief first.If she doesn't change her temper, what about the university?What about future work?Loss will only eat more and more.

Shen Man was silent for a while, and said with a bit of annoyance: "I just don't want to bother..." In fact, if you lose the Walkman, you will lose it, and the most you can do is to teach her a few words when you go home.

Lin Mei didn't try to persuade her anymore, she felt that losing things is not the point, but the problem is Shen Man's way of getting along with others.To be as generous as her is not to be generous, it is called stupid.The living Sheng Mi is kind and jealous, and taking advantage of her is almost like not taking advantage of her, so those who steal things will naturally not steal for nothing.

During self-study last night, Lin Mei told Zhou Yu what she had learned from Shen Man.After Lin Mei came back from rebirth, she always felt that she was ahead of her classmates in terms of knowledge and everything else, but the incident about Shen Man made her suddenly realize.

"Speaking of hypocrisy, is there some reason for being stolen?" Lin Mei said, "It must be to say that I am looking for beatings, but I think I suddenly understand why I was easy to be stolen before, and stole my things. People who still dare to use it openly." It's not that the person is stupid, it's just that the person thinks that she is so cowardly that she dare not say anything after seeing the dirt.

When I think about it, it's just embarrassing.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked: "What was stolen from you? When did it happen? How dare the person who stole you use it in front of you? Why didn't you tell me!"

Lin Mei immediately found out that there was a major problem with the timeline, and quickly said that it was all about her childhood. The person who stole her things was an outsider. When she found out later, it was hard to say because she knew each other and was a neighbor. In fact, she didn’t lose any big things, just a blanket. It is worthless.

He Qi said, "Is there anyone else stealing blankets?"

Skip this sentence, Lin Mei and Zhou Yu didn't answer, because Zhou Yu looked at Lin Mei very seriously and said, "You said just now that Shen Man shouldn't tolerate adultery, but listen to what you just said, isn't it the same?"

Shen Man felt that it was not worth checking for a Walkman that she thought was not too expensive and unaffordable.Lin Mei also subconsciously felt that it was not worth arguing with her neighbors over a blanket.

Lin Mei found that even though she understood that she was underestimated at the time, she still felt that it was not worth arguing over a blanket.

Lin Mei was stunned, and under Zhou Yu's serious gaze, she said in a rare breath of anger: "...Arguing is very sad. And that blanket is not unusual, he can definitely say it is his own." Although the blanket was brought from China by her, Here, and I've never seen a neighbor hanging an "old" blanket like hers before.

Well, even she couldn't convince herself of this reason.To put it bluntly, I'm still timid.

Lin Mei leaned back in her chair and thought, maybe her self-confidence all the time was more because she faced students who were younger than her.If it were her now...would she just knock on the neighbor's door and ask her where that blanket came from?Will she call the police for justice?

Lin Mei clenched her fist in her heart, she will definitely do this next time!Just give yourself an incentive!Now that she can show her courage and confidence in front of a group of junior high school students and high school students, she will continue to be so brave and confident when she becomes an adult again.

Zhou Hao wondered why Lin Mei was still humming in a good mood in the second half of the evening self-study, just humming for a while, like brainwashing, after the evening self-study, they even Zheng Kaituhai Zhang Xu I'm humming "even if fate is in turmoil..."

When we arrived at the dormitory downstairs, we ran into 219. The whole floor, including the dormitory manager, knew that 219 had lost things and there were thieves. A notice was posted on the small blackboard on the first floor to remind everyone to take good care of their personal belongings. , Remember to put valuables in the cabinet and keep the keys.

The atmosphere in 219 is not bad. Shen Man has already told everyone that she doesn't plan to investigate, and Teacher Zhao didn't come after school this afternoon.As a result, when I arrived at the door of the dormitory, I saw Teacher Zhao standing there, and the dormitory auntie was opening the door.Teacher Zhao saw Shen Man and the others and said, "Are you back? Come in and talk."

The atmosphere suddenly flew down three thousand feet.

219 closed the door, blocking the sight of all who wanted to watch.Lin Mei and the others went back to the dormitory to fetch water with the kettle. On the way, they asked curiously how Teacher Zhao would check.On the way back, I ran into He Qi, who went out to bring Zhou Jin a supper, and Lin Mei also had a copy by the way.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao went to bed with your girls just now. Didn't you say that this matter will not be investigated?" He asked.

No check is what Shen Man said.Mr. Zhao probably forgot about it and went home in the afternoon, but now he remembered it and came again.

"I don't know who stole it. But no matter who stole it, I don't think Xu Peilan can live in 219." He Qi said.The boys' dormitory has also heard about this, and the boys' dormitory also loses things. He Qi mentioned a carload of examples, and he also lost a few cassettes.He forgot a few boxes, and he can't remember when he lost them. He just remembered the few tapes he had bought before when he went to the video store to buy tapes.

When He Qi told Zhou Yu that enough was enough, Lin Mei had already gnawed the corn, and said after listening, "You don't know where to put it..." She didn't even know how many boxes were lost.

The two of them didn't know that Teacher Zhao had left until they returned to the girls' dormitory, and Shen Man's Walkman was found under her pillow again.Huang Ling said: "I think the thief was afraid and put it back secretly." But when did he put it back?Shen Man came back last night and found that the Walkman under the pillow was missing. When she took a nap at noon, she looked under the pillow, but it was still empty. Everyone in this dormitory can testify to her.

Then in the afternoon and evening self-study, that is, from 140:5 to [-]:[-], the Walkman appeared again, and the [-] yuan I lost.Because Shen Man also casually put money under the pillow.But at this time, people recalled that no one in their dormitory had been seen before, and it was hard to find.Because from the teaching building back to the dormitory, you can run back and forth in [-] minutes, how to check?

Teacher Zhao said: "It's fine if you find it, just pretend it's nothing. We've been classmates for three years, so don't spoil this friendship."

Shen Man was aggrieved, "It's just like what I said! It's obviously lost!"

Xu Peilan also looked around for someone to change dormitories, and soon found one.It was one of the two girls who shared a dormitory with another class, and they were willing to switch with her as soon as they mentioned it. Compared with living with people from other classes, it would be better to live with people from their own class.
