Chapter 262: False Case
Liu Yubing was choked. "Maybe she went out to fool around. I really didn't hear anything yesterday. Wang Qiong and I sleep at the door. I could hear her as soon as she came in, but I really didn't hear anything yesterday."
"Forget it, don't worry about it. My stomach is upset." Chen Yuan hurriedly cleaned himself up and urged everyone to hurry up.
Chen Yuan urged them to stop, so they had to put the matter aside. After breakfast, they went to their respective classrooms for class.
The morning classes finally ended. At noon, everyone who was having lunch in the cafeteria was called by the school leaders to the principal's office and gathered together unexpectedly.
When Ye Qian arrived, Fu Shan, Liu Yubing, and Chen Yuan had already arrived, followed by He Jun and Wang Qiong. Everyone looked at each other with puzzled expressions after they came in, looking confused.
The first thing Ye Qian thought of was the night market. It didn’t matter if they were not allowed to set up the stall, as the store had already been renovated. But it didn’t feel right, as it had been there for more than a month, almost two months. If there was a problem, they would have called someone over long ago. If it wasn’t this, what else could it be?
Everyone looked at Ye Qian, who shook her head, indicating she didn't know either. Then she looked at Wang Qiong, who also shook her head. Everyone looked at the principal and the two comrades.
One of them was known to everyone. She was the aunt in their dormitory building. Her surname was Yan. Ye Qian was a businesswoman and usually came home late with a group of people. When she came back, there was quite a lot of noise. So Ye Qian gave her two pieces of clothes she sold and occasionally a few candies just to get along well with Aunt Yan. But this little thing should not be considered bribery, it was such a small thing.
Aunt Yan saw that everyone looked unhappy, because she didn't know what had happened and she was called here.
Another comrade introduced himself to everyone, "Hello, my last name is Bo, I am the school instructor, and I just took the position not long ago."
No wonder, a new face, but he still didn't say what it was. Ye Qian was a little impatient. She was called over when she was only halfway through her meal, and she still had food in her stomach. The other six people were in a similar situation. They felt sorry for their meals. If it weren't for the wrong time, they would definitely order a few dishes. Now they were glad that they didn't order, otherwise it would all be wasted. "Teacher, what's the matter?"
Instructor Bo glanced at Ye Qian and said, "There are eight people in your dormitory, and only seven of you are here now."
At this point, Instructor Bo paused. Everyone nodded and looked at Instructor Bo, motioning for him to continue. Instructor Bo was young, and being stared at by a group of girls like that felt a bit awkward. He turned his face away and continued, "This morning, someone found Comrade Liu Mei locked in the utility room, running a high fever and unconscious."
The seven people were still puzzled. They thought Instructor Bo's words were really worrying. Why did he say half of what he said and leave the other half? Everyone looked at Instructor Bo with puzzled expressions. Instructor Bo was also a little confused and continued, "After she woke up, she pointed out that it was you seven people who locked her up in there."
"Bullshit!" Chen Yuan cursed loudly. As soon as she finished speaking, the principal slammed the table vigorously: "How can a girl say dirty words?"
Chen Yuan was anxious: "No, what's going on? What does it have to do with us if she's imprisoned? She's shameless and she's blaming us." Before he could finish his words, Liu Yubing immediately covered Chen Yuan's mouth and reminded him: "Stop talking."
Chen Yuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing. After calming down, he stopped talking. The principal looked at everyone meaningfully: "What shameless thing is this? You know what it is, right? If you know anything, you have to tell us."
Chen Yuan closed her eyes and shook her head, gritting her teeth. Everyone looked at her speechlessly. Her expression clearly told others that Liu Mei was indeed in trouble, but she just didn't say it. Everyone couldn't bear to watch and turned their heads away.
Seeing that no one said anything, the principal said directly: "Since that's the case, I will start with you."
Wang Qiong retorted, "You're punishing someone without asking any questions or clarifying anything. That's too arbitrary. That's how all those wrongful convictions are made. If you punish them without listening to our explanations, we'll hang a banner at the school gate to let everyone know how this school handles cases."
Fu Shan was no slouch either. "That's right. Not only should we hang a banner at the door, but we should also put an ad in the newspaper. Our Sister Qian is very familiar with the people at the newspaper. They are all very polite to our Sister Qian. This is just a small matter and can be done in a short time. Everyone in the country will know about it the next day."
Ye Qian was speechless. The two men were still threatening. However, everyone was strong behind them, so they still had the courage to threaten. They were not afraid of retaliation from the school. Since these two played the good cop, Ye Qian had to play the bad cop. She stood up and advised everyone, "Calm down, calm down. Let's talk things over properly. Young people should not be so angry. It's just a small matter. Why did you end up with a banner in the newspaper? It's not a big deal."
The principal had never been threatened like this before. Just when he was about to lose his temper, he was interrupted by Ye Qian. The key was that she made the matter smaller. As a principal, he really couldn't be so petty as to target these people again, otherwise he would appear petty. "Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself, otherwise you will be punished, and the building manager will be punished too."
Aunt Yan felt that she was really wronged. She was just a gatekeeper. It was not her decision whether to go back to school or not. How could she control other people's nightlife? If they wanted to hang out, it was none of her business.
Ye Qian gave Aunt Yan a reassuring look, then began to inquire about the matter. "Principal, Liu Mei said we locked her in the utility room, right?"
"Yes."
"Did she say it herself? We locked her in the utility room at what time?" Ye Qian asked again.
"That's what she said, but what time."
"You didn't even tell me what time it was, and you already knew it was us. That's so unclear, how can we get to the bottom of this? Besides, we've always been a group of seven. If we locked her up in the utility room together, it would make a lot of noise and would definitely attract other people's attention." Ye Qian explained. The principal was about to speak when Ye Qian interrupted, "Excuse me, where is Comrade Liu Mei? Can we confront her face to face?"
The principal wanted to speak again, but Ye Qian interrupted him again: "Hey, where else can my head be? It must be in the infirmary. If someone faints with a fever, should they be sent to the dormitory? Of course they need treatment. Is it convenient for her to come over?"
The principal was about to speak, but Ye Qian interrupted him again: "She's sick, so it might not be convenient for her to come. Actually, we can go over there. After all, classmates should respect and love each other. Otherwise, we can go over there too. We are all very considerate."
