Chapter 27: The Crime Not Punished by Death



An instructor came to the door and saw this. He immediately got excited and squeezed in to scold them harshly: "Well, you really stole Comrade Shiye's candy? What kind of mentality is this? Are you a robber?"

Shi also blinked and whispered, "Instructor, it was all Wang Panpan who did it. She just grabbed a lot of it. The money in Li Jing's hand must be the 'hush money' she gave. She just wanted Li Jing to help speak up and conceal the fact that she bullied me."

"You, you are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense--" Wang Panpan's face turned pale and blue, but she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

Shi also acted scared, shrugged her shoulders, hid behind Zhang Bin, pointed at her bulging pockets and said, "You said I was talking nonsense, then do you dare to take out the things in your pockets and let everyone see?"

"What is there for me to be afraid of? I don't have anything..." Wang Panpan was so angry that he laughed. He reached out to his pocket. His originally confident expression froze and turned completely pale when his fingers touched the things in his pocket.

Her hands were shaking, and she dared not move. Shiye whispered, "What's wrong? There's nothing at all? Panpan, why don't you take out the things for the instructor to see? If you really don't have it, why don't you take it out?"

Shiye's voice was gentle but aggressive. Wang Panpan's face turned pale and she looked up at her suddenly: "It was you! It was you who put the candy in my pocket! It was you who did it! You slandered me! Instructor, it really wasn't me! She..."

Zhang Bin looked at Wang Panpan's bulging pockets with a cold look in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Take it out!"

Tears suddenly welled up in Wang Panpan's eyes. Her face was full of humiliation as she slowly took out the things in her pocket.

In the sunlight, the candies in her hand were particularly eye-catching, but because her arms were shaking, the candies fell to the ground one by one.

"Instructor, I...Panpan...ah." Shi Ye's eyes were red, and he looked at Wang Panpan with disappointment.

This time, not only the instructor, but also Wang Qi and Li Jing were stunned. They looked at Wang Panpan in disbelief. They didn't expect that in such a short gap, she stole Shi Ye's candy, put it into her own pocket, and asked the two of them to cover her.

Zhang Bin looked at Wang Panpan coldly: "What else do you have to say? The country sent you to the countryside to support construction in order to learn and exercise, not to let you bully your comrades. You are still doing this kind of sneaky behavior. You must be punished!"

The instructor next to Zhang Bin also frowned in disgust and accused, "Humph! You guys are really bringing shame to the educated youth! You haven't done anything to build a socialist countryside, but you're doing these crooked things!"

Shi also wiped her tears and sobbed, "I have a fiancé, he is in the northwest, this marriage has been decided long ago! But they spread the story about me and Captain Xiao behind my back, if this gets out, I will be too ashamed to live!"

Hearing this, Zhang Bin and others were shocked. They had no idea that Shi Ye was already engaged.

For a moment, they all realized that they had misunderstood Shi Ye and Xiao Yue. They were in a relationship of caregiver and being cared for.

If you think about it carefully, Xiao Yue has a good family background, is good-looking, and capable, so how could he possibly date an orphan like Shi Ye?

Shiya looked at everyone's knowing and apologetic expressions, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

People are like this, always believing in some unreal things with preconceived ideas. When she didn't have a fiancé, people would believe her and Xiao Yue's affair just because they spread the news. But once a fiancé appeared, they felt that she was misunderstood.

"You bully your comrades and gossip about them behind their backs. Where is your conscience? The girl is innocent, but you slander her like this. What's your intention? How is this different from the enemy's sabotage?"

"That's right, you, Comrade Wang Panpan, how could you steal someone's things? Comrade Shiye has never had a safe life since he came here. Why do you bully him? What's even worse is that you even used violence. Look at the wounds on his body. You are stabbing him in the heart! This behavior is extremely bad and is a serious harm to comrades."

"Comrade Zhang Bin, we can't just let this go. We need an explanation."

"Yes! We cannot tolerate such bad apples in our educated youth team. We must punish them severely, otherwise this kind of evil trend will spread like a disaster in the future! We must let everyone know that there will be a price to pay for this kind of behavior of bullying comrades and destroying unity. It must not happen a second time! Otherwise, who will trust our instructors in the future?"

"I didn't... I didn't... it wasn't me!" Wang Panpan's face was pale and her eyes were dazed. She kept saying this, hoping that Zhang Bin and other instructors would believe her. But now that there was evidence, there was no way to make excuses.

Wang Qi was trembling and didn't dare to speak. Now she didn't dare to speak up for Wang Panpan, for fear that the instructor would target her.

Li Jing was also very scared. She looked at Shiye cautiously and pleaded, "Comrade Shiye, we are both educated youth. We all know the difficulties of the other party. Can you help to plead for mercy? I promise that we will never do such a thing again in the future."

Shiye glanced at Wang Panpan with red eyes and whispered, "Panpan, is what Jingjing said true?"

She had no intention of really punishing Wang Panpan. Not to mention the gossip behind her back, stealing was enough to get her into trouble. In serious cases, she would be publicly criticized or even sent back to the city, and would not be assigned a job after the announcement.

Wang Panpan looked humiliated and embarrassed. Seeing Shi Ye's fake appearance, she yelled at the top of her voice, "It's not me! I didn't steal anything! I didn't bully anyone! It's you who slandered me! Who cares about your candy? Who cares?!"

As he spoke, Wang Panpan threw the candy in his hand fiercely at Shi Ye, looking as if he was crazy.

Shiya bit her lip, looked at the scattered fruit candies, and sighed softly: "Panpan, why bother?"

[Ding——Trigger event——]

[My roommate Wang Panpan gossiped about you behind your back and argued with you. The instructor will judge you.]

[60% chance of triggering Wang Panpan to confess guilt, be publicly criticized, and hang himself because he couldn't stand the humiliation.]

[——Complete this story, reward: "Vampire" title (passively kills people around you)]

[30% chance to trigger Wang Panpan to clear himself and reveal the truth.]

[——Complete this plot, reward: being publicly criticized, and being isolated during three years of educated youth life.]

[10% chance to trigger letting Wang Panpan go and clearing her of suspicion of theft.]

[——Complete this scenario, reward: one pound of fruit candy. ]

Shiya half narrowed his eyes. "Venomous woman", this title is quite interesting.

However, let Wang Panpan hang himself?

Shi also glanced at Wang Panpan, who was trembling all over and had tear marks on her face. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, still very young and full of energy. It would be a pity if she lost her life like this.

After experiencing several lifetimes, Shi also claims that he is not a good person, but a thorough and sophisticated egoist.

However, she has never done anything like killing anyone. Wang Panpan was just a bad mouth and her crime does not deserve the death penalty.
