Chapter 366 If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.
Leaving the dormitory?
She was completely dumbfounded. She had no idea what the instructor was talking about. She hadn't left her bed at all!
Her mind went blank; she was completely unable to process this sudden accusation, a hundred times more serious than stealing food. She just instinctively and desperately shook her head, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, but no sound came out; it felt as if her throat was stuffed with a wad of cotton.
Su Tang's eyelids twitched almost imperceptibly for a moment.
She immediately realized that Zhang Ruobing's goal was not chocolate at all.
It was the person on the back mountain.
She's trying to combine the two cases, using the "minor offense" of stealing snacks to force out the "major offense" of trespassing into the restricted area at night.
It was her oversight; she never expected a piece of chocolate to cause such a big commotion, let alone drag this innocent girl into an even deeper vortex.
Just as Wang Xiaoya was rendered speechless by the question, and the whole scene reached a stalemate.
"Reporting, Instructor!"
A somewhat timid voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Wei from the next dormitory standing at the door, wearing a coat and looking sleepy.
Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks. Her face, which always carried a shrewd and calculating air, was now filled with the bewilderment of someone just woken up and a perfectly measured hint of panic. She seemed to have been awakened by the loud commotion and had come over to check on things, worried about the situation.
"What is it?" Zhang Ruobing asked, frowning, somewhat displeased with the sudden interruption.
Bai Wei timidly took two steps inside, her gaze sweeping over the tense atmosphere in the dormitory. When she saw the two armed male police officers, she seemed frightened and lowered her voice even further.
"Instructor...I...I don't know if I should say it..." She looked hesitant and struggling internally, as if she were making an extremely difficult decision.
"Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush!" Zhang Ruobing was impatient.
Bai Wei bit her lower lip, as if she had made a huge decision, before she spoke.
"Reporting, instructor, just now... about half an hour ago, I had an upset stomach and got up to use the restroom."
"When I came back, I...I think I saw a figure climb out of the back window of this dormitory..."
What? !
These words shocked everyone in the room!
Climbing out the window?
If stealing food was just a violation of discipline, then sneaking out through the window in the middle of the night completely changes the nature of the offense!
The faces of all the female soldiers were filled with shock and disbelief.
This is the military! A strictly disciplined barracks! Climbing out of a dormitory window in the middle of the night is unheard of, utterly appalling! If caught, the consequences would be a hundred times worse than stealing food!
Zhang Ruobing looked at Bai Wei. "Are you sure you saw it clearly?"
“I…I’m sure.” Bai Wei nodded firmly. “Although it was dark, the moon was bright tonight, and I could see it clearly. The figure moved very quickly and nimbly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The direction it went…it seemed to be…towards the shooting range behind the mountain.”
As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Wang Xiaoya, who was now deathly pale, out of the corner of her eye.
