90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 384 Xia Yue Lake

 No one was absent during the military training, and after it was over, they all returned to the dormitory in groups, with the identification of their companions.

 From last night to now, no one has been alone in the dormitory. There are witnesses of companions coming in and out. It is almost ruled out that the thief is an insider of the dormitory.

However, the dormitory door lock was not broken, and the locker was not damaged at all, which was very strange.

 And no clues were left at the scene.

 Either the thief is a habitual thief and is too cunning.

Either the insider’s tricks are too clever, or he cooperates with others, the suitcase cannot disappear.

580,000 yuan was not a small amount in the 1990s, and the entire female dormitory building was listed as an object of "concern".

 After some questioning and investigation, it was confirmed that the suitcase was no longer in the dormitory building, so the police officer made other plans.

 It took three days to look for it.

 The incident spread throughout the school.

Shang Chuyao became a famous figure, but the suitcase was not recovered, and the clues fell into a blind spot.

If it were anyone else, they would have been so anxious that they would have wanted to search the ground themselves.

Shang Chuyao is not anxious at all. She trusts the police uncle very much and will definitely help her find 580,000 yuan.

 The policeman said he was under a lot of pressure.

Shang Chuyao didn't feel any pressure at all. When he needed to do military training, he did military training, when he needed to eat, he ate, he never stayed up late when he needed to sleep, and when he needed to read, he took Bai Lu to the library.

Bai Lu looked at the careless girl holding an economics book in her hand, reading with gusto, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you worried that the 580,000 won't come back?"

"do not worry."

Shang Chuyao looked up from the book and smiled at her, revealing a small pear dimple.

“The policeman can definitely help me get my money back. I believe in the power of the policeman.”

 She looks innocent like a three-year-old child.

Bai Lu knew that she was more than three years old, and her eyes were very smart: "She seemed to make sense."

"of course."

Shang Chuyao accepted Bai Lu's praise generously, "Are you thirsty? I'm going to buy two bottles of mineral water. There is one in the service area downstairs. I'll be back soon."

 It is prohibited to bring drinks into the library to prevent accidental soiling of books. Mineral water and boiled water are allowed.

Bai Lu drank soup for dinner and didn't feel very thirsty, but Shang Chuyao had already gone downstairs.

Passing by rows of seats, everyone looked at them curiously, with eyes that read—

 “It’s the 580,000…”

There was a clatter and a book fell.

Bai Lu turned her head when she heard the sound. There was a book lying under the bookshelf less than ten meters away on the left.

 Solid wood bookshelf, no one in front, back, left or right.

 Long rows forward, very far away, there are only a few students here and there, looking for books.

 Maybe a student just returned the book and didn't put it away properly. It was probably dropped after he left.

Bai Lu put down the book in her hand, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and picked up the books on the ground.

When I put it back on the bookshelf, I saw a piece of paper in the empty space, with only one line of black text on the white paper.

  【The suitcase is in Xiayue Lake. 】

Xiayue Lake is located to the east of the dormitory area, not far from the female dormitory building, about ten minutes' walk.

To the north is the administrative building and to the south is the library. The journey time is about the same.

 The position of the note is under the book. Only when the book falls will it have a chance to be revealed.

Bai Lu looked around.

 The students on the seats were reading quietly, and the bookshelf was motionless. There was nothing suspicious about it.

 There was no suspicious figure.

Shang Chuyao went to buy mineral water and has not returned yet.

Bai Lu put the book back to its original place and opened the book slowly and slowly.

 Watching and waiting for Shang Chuyao.

Whether it is true or not, when it comes to money-related matters, it is best to be present with the owner.     Avoid falling into the trap and being caught on the spot.

Shang Chuyao came back from buying water and was about to help Bai Lu twist the bottle cap when Bai Lu gave her a note.

 “I saw this on the bookshelf, do you want to take a look?”

 When he couldn't find the money, Shang Chuyao looked indifferent. When there was news, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Where did you see it? Why didn't I notice it? Did someone send us news on purpose? It was a man or a woman. Did you see someone just now?"

Bai Lu shook her head slightly and raised her eyes to look at where the note appeared: "The book fell and the note was revealed. No one passed by just now, and no one was choosing books in the front, back, left, or right."

“You do good deeds without leaving your name?” Shang Chuyao looked around: “Who is this hero?”

 Is this... focus a bit biased?

 Shouldn’t we look for money immediately?

Bai Lu's eyes were so direct that Shang Chuyao blushed, as if she finally remembered that half of her wealth was still outside and she needed to save it immediately.

“Let’s go to Xiayue Lake and have a look!”

Xiayue Lake is located at the foot of the mountain.

 The gravel road is sparsely lit.

The night in the woods is vast, and the moonlight cannot penetrate the dense branches and leaves, mottled the shadows at the corners. When the wind blows, there are bursts of rustling, like a nightingale's ears.

The blue waves on the lake are rippling and sparkling, and a layer of ripples is picked up by the wind and surges towards the shore.

 Bai Lu and Shang Chuyao took flashlights and looked in the direction area opposite the dormitory area.

 Looking around and around.

"Why isn't there? We've already searched so far to the lake. Not to mention the suitcase, we don't have a dime. Could it be that someone is playing a prank to tease us?" Shang Chuyao didn't want to look for it anymore: "Bai Lu, let's go back."

“We haven’t found it after searching for so long. Someone else must have deceived us...”

In the past few days, the girls in the dormitory have been keeping away from Shang Chuyao, for fear of being suspected.

As soon as he finished speaking, a little disappointed and a little angry, a pebble was kicked away.

Bai Lu heard the crash and looked towards the source of the sound, to the hidden place where aquatic plants and weeds meet on the edge of the lake.

There was a flash of brown light.

Shang Chuyao had already turned around and walked towards the dormitory, but was dragged back by Bai Lu.

 Draged to the lake.

Pull apart a bunch of miscellaneous weeds.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then looked as if it was true, and then looked as if they were not expecting it.

 “It’s actually here!”

“But why only the suitcase handle?”

Shang Chuyao squatted down and stared at the brown handle on the lawn by the lake, with a puzzled look on his face.

 “Did the thief take away the suitcase and the money, leaving only the handle for us?”

 Bai Lu was lamenting the rich man's unconstrained thinking when he heard her say again: "Or is it the thief who jumped into the lake with the money?"

have to say…

 It seems to be half right.

Bai Lu looked at the fifty yuan yuan slowly floating out from the edge of the water plants without any warning.

Shocked and surprised, he reached out in front of the stunned Shang Chuyao and picked up the fifty yuan sheet.

 Hands off the water and puts it in front of Shang Chuyao's eyes: "Quickly see if it looks like your money."

She just said it casually. Unexpectedly, after Shang Chuyao took the money, she looked at it seriously and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's my money!"

 “This is my money!”

“I have loose money in my suitcase, including twenty, five, and one hundred. Fifty is in this section. All of them are in this section. It must be my money!”

Shang Chuyao shook Bai Lu's hand excitedly: "Bai Lu, we found it!"

 Compared with the indifference when I couldn't find a penny before, now I am fifty and I am so happy that I am jumping up and down.

　　Bai Lu reminded tactfully: "It seems to be only fifty yuan."
