When Captain Yang saw so many people gathered in the room, he glared and started to get angry: "What are all these people doing here? Who are you trying to watch? Get out!"

Instructor Zhao also waved his hand: "Except for the parties involved, everyone get out."

Since the leader had spoken, it was naturally not appropriate for the others to stay in the room any longer. However, although they had left the room, they did not move far away. They all crowded into the main room and looked inside through the door curtain.

Captain Yang glanced at Yun Qiao's messy quilt and the hammer that had fallen on it, and his hair stood on end with rage. "On my first day in the company, you've already caused a theft! You new educated youth are really capable."

Yun Qiao immediately defended himself: "I didn't steal it."

Qi Chunhui shed tears of grievance: "I was robbed, can I blame myself for this?"

Instructor Zhao winked at Captain Yang, stepped forward, and spoke gently, "Tell me first, what exactly is going on? Captain Yang and I came here in a hurry, and we don't even know what happened."

Qi Chunhui just lowered his head and cried quietly without saying a word.

Instructor Zhao looked at Yun Qiao again. Yun Qiao's face was cold. "I don't know. I was still in the cafeteria, barely finished my meal, when someone came to tell me that Qi Chunhui suspected I had stolen her industrial vouchers and was rummaging through my belongings in the dormitory. I hurried back, and she was about to smash my suitcase with a hammer."

"I didn't do anything. I have no idea why Qi Chunhui suspects me of being a thief. You should ask her."

"Comrade Qi Chunhui, don't cry yet. Crying won't solve anything," Instructor Zhao said. "Control your emotions. Think carefully about where you put the industrial coupons, under what circumstances they were stolen, and when did you finally discover they were stolen?"

"I put the industrial voucher in the suitcase. The suitcase was not locked. We all lived in the same room. I don't know when it was stolen." Qi Chunhui kept crying and choking while speaking, pausing two or three times in each sentence.

"As for when we discovered the theft, it was around noon. Zheng Wenjing and I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a thermos. When we were paying, we realized the industrial coupons were gone. We also lost some grain coupons, cloth coupons, and a Great Unity note."

Qi Chunhui said, pointing to the banknotes scattered on the bed: "Here, those are the ones on the bed. I just found them in Comrade Ye Yunqiao's pillow. The new educated youth in the dormitory have seen them."

Instructor Zhao didn't rush to ask Yun Qiao, but instead shouted outside, "Is Comrade Zheng Wenjing here? Come in."

"Yes, I'm here." Zheng Wenjing struggled to squeeze through the crowd in the main hall. "Instructor, what do you want to ask me?"

Instructor Zhao asked her, "Did you hear what Comrade Qi Chunhui said just now?"

Zheng Wenjing nodded obediently: "I heard it."

"Is what she said true? Do you have any objection to it?"

Zheng Wenjing shook her head. "No, it was exactly as she said. She went to buy a thermos with me, and when she was about to pay, she realized she didn't have the industrial coupons in her wallet. Then she started saying her industrial coupons were stolen. She suspected Ye Yunqiao, the only one in the dormitory who bought a thermos, had stolen her industrial coupons, so she came back and started searching Ye Yunqiao's belongings."

"So, do you have any opinion on this matter?"

"A little."

Instructor Zhao said, "Tell me about it."

Zheng Wenjing looked at Yunqiao, then at Qi Chunhui, and whispered, "I don't think Ye Yunqiao is the kind of person who would steal."

Qi Chunhui's eyes widened immediately: "Wen Jing! I'm your cousin! She stole my things, why are you still trying to be so mean and speak for her?!"
