Chapter 350
After carefully reading the letter, Meng Jiajia pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose and said seriously and confidently, "I was a study committee member in my freshman year of high school. I've seen a lot of papers that everyone handed in, and I can be sure that no one in the class wrote such ugly handwriting."
Lin Guodong, however, felt it was uncertain: "Think about it, if someone really was deliberately playing a prank, then it's not impossible that he deliberately changed the handwriting to hide his identity."
Lin Wang stared at the cold bun, muttering, "But does a prank really need to be that expensive? Writing a love letter every now and then, sending apples and buns, that's not cheap."
As he spoke, he swallowed, looked up at Su Miao, and said with a bit of flattery: "By the way, Su Miao, do you want to eat this bun? If not, give it to me. I got up late today and ran all the way from the dormitory. I haven't had breakfast yet, and my stomach is almost starving."
"Ah? This bun?"
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looking at the buns, and said helplessly, "It's already cold. Besides, it's best not to eat this food that comes from an unknown source. It would be troublesome if you get an upset stomach. I brought two braised eggs and a tangerine, you can eat them to fill your stomach."
As he spoke, Su Miao gently placed the braised eggs and tangerines on the table. The others all had an expression that said, "I knew there must be food in your drawer."
Lin Wang wasn't shy about eating, one egg at a time, his cheeks bulging with stuff. He mumbled, "So what should we do with this one today? Keep observing?"
"No, I'll tell the homeroom teacher. He keeps throwing garbage into my drawer. Who knows if he'll throw a dead mouse in one day? We have to catch him quickly."
Soon, the head teacher looked at the "evidence" on the desk in astonishment and asked, "You said someone wrote you three love letters? They also gave you apples and meat buns? Did you eat them?"
"I didn't eat it, but Lin Wang smelled the buns and said they were filled with meat."
"Puff!" A suppressed laugh came from the corner. Su Miao looked over and saw that the head teacher of Class (1) was correcting the papers with an expressionless face. The red pen in his hand kept moving on the test paper. He looked very busy.
The head teacher then asked, "Do you have any doubts about the candidate? Could it be from our class?"
Su Miao said mysteriously, "Hu Xiaodie and I have been observing for several days and we all agree that it's not a classmate from our class. Someone might have set it there when no one was in the classroom. We've also figured out how he got in."
The head teacher asked with interest: "Oh? How did you deduce that?"
"Zhang Le, who was leaning against the window in the corridor, was complaining in class that someone had stepped on his seat again, and there were shoe prints on the stool several times.
Then we went over to take a look, and saw that the window next to him was broken and couldn't be locked. If someone wanted to get into the classroom when no one was there, they could just climb in through that window.
Unfortunately, the shoe prints on the stool had been wiped off, so we were unable to retrieve any footprints this time."
(1) The head teacher of the class couldn’t help but interrupt: “Good job, Su Miao, you guys can solve the case and even extract footprints.”
Su Miao said helplessly, "Teacher, I just want to find this guy and tell him to stop throwing things into my drawer. It's quite annoying."
The head teacher was also very angry about this guy's behavior. After all, Su Miao was the school's key talent, and there was actually a brat who didn't know what was good for him and did such things.
She suppressed her anger and said softly to Su Miao, "Okay, the teacher knows about this matter and will immediately investigate who did it. Don't worry too much. I hope you won't be affected."
"Teacher, we actually have a plan! It's called the Rat Catching Operation!" A hint of cunning flashed in Su Miao's eyes.
The head teacher asked curiously, "How do you catch them?"
"Lure the enemy into a jar and catch the turtle in it."
…
It was 9:45 in the evening, and it had been a while since the evening self-study class was over. As the students living outside the school left, the noise on campus gradually dissipated. There were still fifteen minutes before the lights were turned off, and the boarding students returned to the dormitory to wash up.
As usual, the three teachers on duty began to sweep the teaching building from the first floor upwards, urging the students who were still in the classroom to leave school or return to the dormitory as soon as possible.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, making a "clattering" sound.
When I arrived at Class 3 (2), I saw a classmate still reading. The teacher on duty reminded me, "Student, the lights will be turned off in 15 minutes. Do you live on campus?"
"Yes, teacher. I live on campus. I'll be back soon."
Lin Guodong raised his head and responded with a smile.
He stood up slowly and began to pack up the books and stationery on the table, his movements calm and composed.
Then, he walked slowly towards the classroom door, his eyes casually scanning every corner of the classroom, as if confirming something.
After watching the teacher on duty check all the classrooms and make sure there were no other students, he locked the door and went downstairs with the teacher.
According to school regulations, boarding students must get up at 6:30 and go to the playground to do morning exercises within 20 minutes. Only after morning exercises can they go to the cafeteria to have breakfast. The door on the first floor of the teaching building will not be opened until after 6:30.
For two consecutive days, Lin Guodong did not do morning exercises. According to his roommate, he had a cold and wanted to rest for a while.
It was 6:40 that day, and the door of the teaching building had just opened. The students living on campus had just gotten up and were getting dressed to do exercises.
A tall and thin boy walked into the teaching building. He was wearing soft-soled cloth shoes and deliberately slowed down his pace, making almost no sound.
The radio outside had already started playing the rally music. Under the cover of the radio sound, he walked straight to the classroom of Class 3 (2).
As if he had done it many times, he skillfully opened a window and climbed in, then walked to Su Miao's desk.
He put the thing in his hand into Su Miao's drawer, then took out the magazine she had placed in the drawer and took a look. Su Miao had put a maple leaf bookmark on the page she was reading. This was the Xiangshan Red Leaf Bookmark that Jiayin sent her.
The title of the article on this page is "A dark heart is like a rat in a sewer."
The boy seemed to be stabbed in the eye by the title, and the magazine fell to the ground with a "bang".
He put the magazine back in a panic and tried to exit through the window the same way.
But at this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the classroom. He looked up and saw several classmates running towards him from the conference room opposite the classroom, and Su Miao was among them.
He thought to himself that something was wrong and without even bothering to climb out the window, he rushed to the back of the classroom, pulled open the latch, and then rushed out like a madman.
Seeing this, Su Miao shouted, "Catch him!"
Several classmates quickly surrounded him from both sides of the corridor, and in just a few seconds, they controlled the panicked boy.
