“Reporting to the instructor, I can also testify that Wang Xiaoya did not go out.”
It's Liu Landi!
She stood at the front of the line the whole time, observing silently, and finally spoke up.
She looked at Zhang Ruobing calmly and said, "Shortly after lights out, around 11 o'clock, I got up to use the restroom. The latches on our dormitory windows are a bit tight, and they make a lot of noise when you open or close them. If someone were to climb through the window, it would be impossible for them to not make a sound. When I came back, Wang Xiaoya was sleeping soundly, and I could hear her snoring through the curtains."
Liu Landi was clear-headed, spoke logically and clearly, and even gave specific time points.
A slight commotion arose in the dormitory, and some of the female soldiers looked at Wang Xiaoya with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
At that moment, another faint but firm voice rang out.
"Reporting, Instructor! I can vouch for you!"
It's Chen Xiaocao!
She squeezed out from the back of the crowd, her small body standing straight. Although she was flustered, her eyes were unusually firm.
Wang Xiaoya turned around abruptly, looking at Chen Xiaocao in disbelief.
Zhang Ruobing's gaze shifted to Chen Xiaocao, her eyes filled with scrutiny and immense pressure: "Can you prove it? Are you sure? You didn't sleep all night, just kept watching her?"
"I...I had an upset stomach today, so I didn't sleep well and kept waking up in a daze." Chen Xiaocao's face was pale, but she still insisted, "Every time I woke up, I could hear Xiaoya snoring! She snores in her sleep! And it's quite loud! If she really climbed out the window, I would definitely have noticed when the dormitory suddenly became so quiet!"
This reason sounds quite reasonable.
Wang Xiaoya snores a little when she sleeps, though not loudly, but audible in the quiet of the night.
With the support of the two people, Wang Xiaoya seemed to regain some strength. She looked at Zhang Ruobing and urgently defended herself: "Instructor! I really didn't go out! They can all testify for me!"
"Testify?" Before Zhang Ruobing could speak, Bai Wei, standing at the door, suddenly spoke up quietly.
She took a step forward, her face displaying just the right amount of embarrassment and "kindness," as if she were thinking of Wang Xiaoya's best interests.
"Little girl, it's not that I'm targeting you. But... but it's a fact that you stole food, right? And Liu Landi and Chen Xiaocao just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and could testify for you... This... this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a venomous snake, precisely biting into everyone's heart.
"What do you mean?!" Liu Landi turned her head sharply, her eyes shooting towards Bai Wei. "Are you saying that the three of us conspired to lie to the instructor?"
"I didn't say that," Bai Wei quickly waved her hand, looking completely innocent. "I just find it strange. Instructor, think about it, this kind of food of dubious origin couldn't have been obtained by Wang Xiaoya alone. And now two people suddenly appear to give her false testimony... oh no, I mean, to testify. Could it be... that the three of them were working together from the beginning?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Xiaoya was completely enraged. Like a little beast that had been provoked, she roared at Bai Wei, "Bai Wei, you heartless bastard! What are you up to?!"
"I...I just went to the outhouse!" Bai Wei took a step back after being yelled at, looking as wronged as if she had suffered a great injustice. "I kindly told you what I saw, and you turn around and bite me? Wang Xiaoya, you're bullying me too much!"
Bai Wei's aggrieved appearance immediately aroused the sympathy of some female soldiers who were unaware of the truth.
"That's right, Bai Wei was just trying to be helpful..."
"Wang Xiaoya is too fierce! She does something wrong and doesn't even let people say it..."
