Wang Yan looked on in disbelief. "You were faking it? You even used your position as the class's student life committee member to scam money from your classmates? You're shameless!"

Ye Shuheng was thoroughly ridiculed and couldn't save face, so he stood up abruptly.

"How shameless can you be! Back when I was pursuing Jiang Hong, you made me bring you to the boys' dormitory, and you have no idea how long I got yelled at by Jiang Hong for it!"

"What?!?!"

A commotion arose, and Ruan Ruan, holding Su Mian's arm, grew increasingly excited.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and they really hadn't expected Ye Shuheng to confront Wang Yan head-on.

Wang Yan couldn't sit still any longer. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you bring this up?"

The focus immediately shifted to Wang Yan. Wei Xiaowei's eyes flickered. "Speaking of this, it seems that it even caused Ruan Ruan's mother to resign..."

Ruan Ruan, who was watching the show, immediately withdrew her teeth and hurriedly defended herself.

"I didn't know my mom was fired because of this! I also didn't know what happened between Jiang Hong and the class monitor."

Su Mian suddenly remembered that there was a passage in the script that mentioned Ruan Ruan's mother was the dormitory manager of the boys' dormitory next door.

Because of some reason, they were laid off, heartbroken and lost hope in life, and fell seriously ill. Wang Yan came to their dormitory.

She also brought gifts for Ruan Ruan, and in her few words, she was full of shirking responsibility, saying that Jiang Hong forced her to go. So, in a sense, Ruan Ruan hated Jiang Hong.

"I remember the class monitor came to our dormitory and gave Ruan Ruan a gift."

With just this one sentence, the previous lies were overturned, and Ruan Ruan looked at Su Mian in disbelief.

Su Mian didn't show much expression; she simply chose to state the facts, saying that helping her once didn't mean she had to continue being a good person.

What's more, she was the murderer.

Seeing the momentum, Wang Yan immediately pressed her advantage, "That's right, I told you back then that Jiang Hong forced me to go, so you're also a suspect!"

"What suspicion do I have? I was already preparing for my postgraduate entrance exam, and I didn't even know where Jiang Hong was!"

"You dare to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Your mother is so sick, you should be going out to work. How dare you even think about taking the exam?"

"You think you're so great because you're a graduate student? Don't think I don't know you got in through connections. Su Mian has complained to me about your amazing achievements. She looks down on people like you the most! You even stole her spot for graduate school recommendation."

Seeing that Su Mian was no longer helping her, she immediately revealed Su Mian's secrets, which originally had nothing to do with the case. Upon hearing this, Wang Yan turned pale.

"No! I didn't!"

The group was arguing fiercely, and what started as just Zhou Yunfeng as a suspect has now become four people, leading to a whole host of other troubles.

This includes Zhou Yunfeng's past attempts to pursue Su Mian while keeping Wei Xiaowei as a backup option, Wei Xiaowei's tampering with Su Mian's graduation defense PPT in order to get revenge on her, and Wang Yan's abuse of her official position to make the class clean the laboratory, ultimately forcing them to stay in the laboratory for a day, and so on.

A group of classmates who had been laughing and chatting on the surface for four years of university suddenly fell apart, shattered, and argued heatedly.

"Stop!!! Stop!!! Everyone, stop arguing."

Zhou Yunfeng finally couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hands, which were trembling slightly. "I'll only say one thing: I'm not the murderer. I stayed in my room all night and didn't go anywhere."

"Who can prove that you're staying in a single room?"

Wang Yan crossed her arms, her face full of disdain. Ye Shuheng suddenly raised his hand, "The two of them went out last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Su Mian and Wei Xiaowei.

Wei Xiaowei immediately retorted, "We're on a mission!"

Wang Yan looked puzzled. Su Mian went out last night? No, that's not right. She was sleeping like she was unconscious.

It doesn't matter, as long as I'm not a suspect.

"How can you prove it?"

Wei Xiaowei immediately showed her phone, which contained the photo about the mission. The photo showed the little ghost who came to pick up the toy train yesterday.

Looking at it this way, it was indeed much more convincing, and everyone looked at Su Mian again.

"And you? How can you prove your mission?"

Su Mian crossed her legs and didn't say anything. Seeing her like this, everyone assumed that she couldn't explain herself, and Wei Xiaowei immediately turned against her.

"Yeah, she got to the hallway before me. I have no idea what task she's doing. Maybe she'll be there after I leave..."

Faced with Wei Xiaowei's sudden change of expression, Su Mian just sneered, propped his cheek up and looked at her. Wei Xiaowei was so stared at that she broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to say another word.

"If you suspect I'm the murderer, what's your motive?"

"Everything you were just discussing was nonsense, wasn't it?"

She stood up and glanced at everyone. No one spoke, because Su Mian really had nothing to do with Jiang Hong. Her gaze finally fell on Ye Shuheng.

"Your ability to cause trouble is indeed impressive, but that's where it ends."

Ye Shuheng's face turned pale. "What...what are you saying? I don't understand."

"You're very clever. You were afraid that someone would know that Jiang Hong died during the day, so you deliberately said that he turned on the light and almost blinded you, creating the illusion that you were half asleep and thought it was still the middle of the night, but it was actually daytime."

"It's a pity that if he died at night, why would Jiang Hong go to all that trouble to put on his sneakers, especially since he was going to come back to sleep later, just to go to the dining car for a meal? He could only have put on his shoes in the morning, not in the middle of the night."

"But he wasn't wearing shoes when he died!" Ye Shuheng retorted.

Su Mian's eyes lit up, giving her a "I've been waiting for you to ask that question" look.

"Yes, he wasn't wearing shoes, isn't that strange?"

"It's like someone taking off their shoes and putting them somewhere else, trying to cover it up."

"You could say you took off your slippers, but that's redundant. How do you explain that your sneakers weren't in your suitcase, but under the bed?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Jiang Hong's suitcase was opened yesterday, and everyone saw that Jiang Hong's sneakers were inside.

Furthermore, to prove that he was not the owner of the knife, he placed his suitcase on the hard-seat carriage and did not take it back to his room.

It's even more unlikely that he would come out to change his shoes in the middle of the night, which is very strange. The only explanation is that he needs to change his shoes when he gets up in the morning, so he goes to the hard-seat carriage to change his shoes and then goes to the dining car to beg for food.

Following Su Mian's train of thought, they headed to carriage number twelve and, sure enough, found a pair of slippers where Jiang Hong had put his suitcase.

The moment he saw the slippers, the color drained from his face, his lips tightened, and Su Mian lowered his eyes, showing no surprise whatsoever.

All I can say is that he's quite clever; he knows how to use information asymmetry to frame someone and also knows how to take off the shoes he's changed into and put them somewhere else.

Unfortunately, people's thinking is too chaotic when they are under stress. If it's a sleeping pot, they won't choose to put it under the bed, but in the suitcase.

Putting it under the bed meant that only he had a motive to commit the crime, since the two of them were in the same room.
