Chapter 85 They slandered Chen Jiao!
"Why are you pulling me?"
Shen Jiao stamped his feet in anger.
Niu Niu suddenly let go of her hand, and due to inertia, she fell to the ground with a thud.
Shen Jiao was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he almost cursed.
She stood up, glared at Niuniu, and ran back to her seat.
But just as he put his hand into his schoolbag, the head teacher came in.
Xu Jiaxi had already explained the matter clearly to the head teacher. When the head teacher came in, he did not come to comfort Niu Niu, but asked everyone to sit back in their seats.
Before coming here, she had called Chen Baomei to confirm with her whether Niu Niu really had that much pocket money.
Chen Baomei also gave a positive answer.
As a sensible child, Chen Jue would not lie when it comes to serious issues such as money.
So, after the head teacher asked everyone to sit back in their seats, he told them about Niu Niu’s money being stolen.
"You are all rare good children. I hope this was not done by one of you. But hope is hope, and we must also look at the facts."
The head teacher looked around the classroom and many timid children lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.
Most people wouldn't go to other classes to rummage through other people's bags. Firstly, students from other classes would easily attract attention and make it difficult for them to steal. Secondly, without a clear target, thieves wouldn't take the risk and start the business.
Therefore, the class teacher is still inclined to believe that Chen Jue’s money was taken away by a classmate.
The head teacher then said in a deep voice, "Whoever took Chen Jue's money, please come forward. Confess voluntarily. Considering your young age, I can give you a lighter sentence. If you don't come forward voluntarily, and I find out, it won't be so easy to deal with."
No one spoke, and no one stepped forward.
Niuniu looked at Chen Jiao, but she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly.
There was a silence.
The head teacher took a deep breath.
"Since no one admits it, I can only use special means."
"To clear everyone's name, I believe you don't mind a body search, right? Of course, this body search is only for the money that Chen Jue lost. As for other things, they are not within our scope of investigation."
There are many things that are not allowed to be brought into the school, such as mobile phones, game consoles, and other prohibited items.
Body searches are not very decent in themselves, and the head teacher was worried that someone would resist, so he took the initiative to exempt students who brought in prohibited items from punishment.
Many children breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that their head teacher would not pursue the matter of bringing things into the classroom.
Seeing that no one objected, cold sweat broke out on Chen Jiao's face.
It was a hot day, but her back felt cold.
But Niu Niu didn't want to offend all the classmates because of this matter.
Some students may not mind, but those who are sensitive or do not like being touched will definitely not like being searched.
If this matter gets to her parents, it will easily get her into trouble.
So, she stood up and said, "Teacher, my money was still there before PE class. I think someone took advantage of the fact that the PE classroom was empty and sneaked back to take my money. We have surveillance cameras in the corridor. If we check the surveillance cameras in the corridor and find out who came back to the classroom during PE class, it should be easier to investigate among these people."
As soon as Niuniu finished speaking, someone reported to the teacher, "Teacher, Zhang Qingqing has returned to the classroom! I saw her come back to get her water cup."
Zhang Qingqing, the student who was called, stood up with a red face.
"Teacher, I didn't steal any money. If you don't believe me, you can search me!"
She was afraid that others would not believe her, so she even turned out her trouser pockets and her back pockets.
The head teacher nodded and asked her to stand next to the podium.
"Who else has gone back to the classroom during gym class?"
The classmates talked at once and named two more people, but Chen Jiao was not among them.
Niu Niu was not in a hurry. When she saw that no one was talking anymore, she stood up and reported to the teacher.
"Teacher, I saw that Chen Jiao has also returned to the classroom."
Chen Jiao suddenly glared at Niu Niu with a fierce look as if he wanted to eat her.
"Chen Jiao, leave your seat and stand in front."
A total of four students returned to the classroom, two boys and two girls, and the head teacher asked them to stand in front.
The head teacher has sent a message to the security captain, asking him to pull up the surveillance footage of the corridor and send it to him.
Since waiting would take time, she first assigned two squad leaders, one male and one female, to search the four confirmed children separately.
Five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. You can tell whether there is anything in your pocket by just touching it.
After searching their bodies, they began to search their locations.
Seeing his schoolbag being carried to the table by the class monitor and the things inside being turned out one by one, Shen Jiao's eyes turned red.
She stared at the class monitor's actions, and when she saw the class monitor finally take out a stack of red banknotes from her schoolbag, Shen Jiao finally broke down.
She screamed loudly, "I didn't steal it, Chen Jue gave it to me himself!"
The classroom was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Chen Jiao in surprise.
"Chen Jue, tell me yourself, did you give it to me on your own initiative?"
Niuniu was surprised. "What are you talking about? Why should I give you money?"
"You were the one who wanted to give it to me. During physical education class, you said you put the money in my schoolbag and told me to go back to the classroom to get it myself!"
Chen Jiao screamed hysterically, pointing at Niuniu hatefully.
Niu Niu didn't answer, but just looked aggrieved.
Originally, when Chen Jiao was blackmailing Niuniu, he was wary of others, fearing that others would find out.
She came to ask Niu Niu for money when no one was around her, so naturally no one heard what Niu Niu said.
The monitor handed the money to the head teacher.
The head teacher counted it on the spot and it was exactly five thousand yuan.
She said seriously, "Okay, the other students can rest on their own. Chen Jiao, Chen Jue, you two follow me to the office."
After leaving the classroom, the head teacher called Chen Jiao's parents.
As for Chen Baomei, she had already informed her when Xu Jiaxi went to see her just now.
Niu Niu and Shen Jiao followed her into the office, one after the other.
Because Chen Baomei came by taxi, she arrived later than Wu Wenwan.
When Chen Baomei arrived, Wu Wenwan was talking to the head teacher, saying that it was impossible for Shen Jiao to steal money and that they must be slandering Shen Jiao!
"Maybe this damn girl can't stand our Jiaojiao and deliberately put the money in her schoolbag to frame our Jiaojiao!"
The head teacher was so angry that he laughed.
She knew the complicated relationship between Wu Wenwan and Shen Jiao, Wu Hui, and Chen Jue, and she also knew that Wu Wenwan was actually Chen Jue's biological mother.
Seeing her attitude, the head teacher finally understood why Chen Jue's grandmother had repeatedly warned that no one except herself could get close to Chen Jue.
Niu Niu glanced at Wu Wenwan quickly, then lowered her head in grievance.
The head teacher felt distressed when he saw Niu Niu's little appearance.
She said, "Mother Chen Jiao, the evidence is irrefutable. The whole class can testify to this. If you still don't believe it, you can pay for a fingerprint test. In our class, apart from Chen Jiao, only Chen Jue, the class monitor, and I have touched this stack of money. I think it won't be difficult to find Chen Jiao's fingerprints."
