“I’m not afraid. I didn’t touch that pen, so there’s no way my fingerprints could be on it. But the person who did touch it will leave fingerprints. The police have solved many cases based on fingerprints. Because many people don’t know that fingerprints are unique, and they unintentionally leave the most conclusive evidence when committing a crime.”
Yang Yixuan's forehead was almost frozen, unable to think or move. How could she have forgotten something so important!
Fingerprints are no longer unfamiliar to most people.
Such content is frequently found in some detective novels and story collections.
As soon as Yang Wanwan finished speaking, the students immediately started discussing among themselves.
"Yes, yes! That's how it's written in novels and on TV."
"Yes, yes!"
"Hey, it seems like we really should report this to the police! They'll find out everything easily!"
Yang Yixuan began to tremble all over.
No, no...
"What happened? Who wants to report a crime? Just in time, the police officers from the station are here. You can tell them what's going on."
Suddenly, the voice of the homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, came from outside the door.
The students looked outside and saw the figures of four men.
Besides the homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, there were several unfamiliar middle-aged and young men.
Teacher Wang said, "Everyone, please be quiet. These three are officers from the police station. They've come to the school to investigate something. We all heard what you were saying outside. Yang Yixuan, what exactly happened?"
After Teacher Wang finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Zhijie.
Luo Zhijie is very tall, with piercing eyes and an imposing presence.
They've been here for several minutes; they arrived right after class ended.
Teacher Wang originally wanted to bring the three of them in, but Luo Zhijie, for some reason, raised his hand to stop Teacher Wang, meaning to stand outside the door and listen first.
Although Teacher Wang didn't understand what it meant, Luo Zhijie seemed to have a strong presence, and the two officers from the town police station seemed to obey him. So Teacher Wang did as he was told, and the four of them stood outside the door and listened for a while.
Yang Yixuan was stunned. She opened her mouth, but for a long time she didn't know what to say.
Teacher Wang frowned and looked at Yang Wanwan: "Yang Wanwan, you tell us."
Yang Wanwan spoke calmly and methodically, recounting everything that had happened since she entered the house that morning.
After Yang Wanwan finished speaking, Yang Yixuan suddenly burst into tears, "Teacher, I didn't, I really didn't put Kuang Jie's pen in Yang Wanwan's desk!"
Teacher Wang looked at Luo Zhijie, "Captain Luo, look at this matter..."
Luo Zhijie's gaze swept around the classroom.
For some reason, when his classmates met his gaze, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and dread.
Luo Zhijie remained silent, finally fixing his gaze on Yang Yixuan.
When Yang Yixuan was looked at like that, she felt her heart shatter and her whole body trembled with fear. She didn't know why.
She stammered, "I...I really didn't..."
Luo Zhijie narrowed his eyes slightly. "No, there is?"
His voice was very pleasant to hear, deep and resonant with absolute authority.
Luo Zhijie wasn't very old, looking to be only in his early thirties. But the moment he narrowed his eyes, an overwhelming sense of pressure emanated from him, making it impossible to resist.
Even though Yang Yixuan was terrified, she knew she absolutely could not admit it.
"I didn't, I really didn't. It was all Yang Wanwan who slandered me. Yes, it was her who slandered me. Yang Wanwan, you, you need to explain to the police station that you did it yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
Yang Wanwan said coldly, "I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"
Yang Yixuan finally regained her voice and composure, "But, but everyone found that pen in your desk! The whole class can testify!"
Yang Wanwan said sarcastically, "Just because it's in my desk doesn't mean it's mine! Are you out of your mind? If everyone thought like you, would the police have to go through so much trouble to solve cases? Wouldn't it be easy for criminals to do bad things? If I left a thousand yuan at your house tonight and said you stole it tomorrow, would you admit it? Would you admit it?"
As she spoke, she took out ten yuan from her pocket, threw it on Yang Yixuan's desk, and said, "I'm telling you, you stole my money. Do you admit it? Do you admit it?!"
Startled by her outburst, Yang Yixuan suddenly felt like she had found a way to retaliate. "Yang Wanwan, you're being unreasonable! Teacher Wang, you all saw it, she's being unreasonable! Yang Wanwan, the villagers all say that your parents died early and no one taught you manners, and I always felt that they were prejudiced against you. Now it seems that what they said is true!"
Taking a breather, Yang Yixuan felt she had found a way to defeat Yang Wanwan and continued, "Do you know what Yang Wanwan did just a few days ago? Everyone in the village knows about it, and everyone says Yang Wanwan is an ingrate and a troublemaker!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Yang Yixuan spoke even more enthusiastically.
“Yang Wanwan’s parents have been dead for almost five years. She is the eldest child in her family, and she has younger brothers and sisters. You can imagine how pitiful they are! They don’t even have money for food. It’s all thanks to my uncle and my parents who have been secretly giving them money! Otherwise, how could they have gone to school? Instead of being grateful, they go around saying that my uncle and my father lied to them! Just a few days ago, they called everyone in the village to their house and insisted on clarifying how my parents and my uncle mistreated them.”
"In the end, Yang Wanwan was simply slandering my uncle and my father, and everyone in the village can testify to that! But instead of reflecting on her behavior, Yang Wanwan is extremely disgusted and resentful towards both our families! So, she took Kuang Jie's Parker pen, and now she's deliberately slandering me! She just loves to slander others; it's become a habit! Teacher Wang, classmates, I think we shouldn't continue to tolerate a classmate like her with such character!"
Yang Wanwan frowned.
Yang Yixuan spoke with such seriousness, didn't she know that in the end, it was her parents who slunk away, not her, Yang Wanwan?
Yang Wanwan thought for a moment and suddenly realized that it must be because Maodouhua hadn't told Yang Yixuan the truth after she went back.
Teacher Wang looked at Yang Wanwan with displeasure and frowned.
The students looked at Yang Wanwan with strange expressions.
"Teacher Wang, classmates, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go to our village and ask around. You'll know the answer as soon as you ask. Yang Wanwan has always been like this, always thinking she's so great, and she likes to slander others. Everyone in our village knows that! Everyone knows she's an ingrate. It was clearly my uncle and my dad who took care of them all along, otherwise they would have starved to death. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also go around saying bad things about my parents and my uncle!"
