Student A looked completely bewildered: "I was doing my homework and didn't know anything. I didn't even notice that Yang Wanwan went to Rodton's desk."
Student B said, "I caught a glimpse of Yang Wanwan taking something from Rolton's desk out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't notice what she took at all, and I didn't think much of it until I watched the video just now and found out that she took Rolton's money."
Yang Wanwan looked at classmate B.
Kuang Jie.
She still spoke softly and gently.
Kuang Jie is very delicate and beautiful, like a porcelain doll, and she is also very talented, proficient in playing various musical instruments and singing.
This is the type of girl that boys love to protect the most.
When she transferred to Fuxing Reservoir Village Middle School, all the boys in the class would go to great lengths for her with just a word.
Even in Class 1 of Yucai Middle School, she still received the admiration of many boys.
Meeting Yang Wanwan's gaze, she seemed somewhat frightened and quickly smiled apologetically, "Yang Wanwan, don't blame me, I'm just telling the truth. You know I can't lie. But don't worry, the matter is still under investigation, and everything will come to light."
Yang Wanwan smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Kuang Jie, I know this is necessary for the investigation, so I don't blame you."
Kuang Jie still looked frightened, nervously biting her lower lip, appearing very anxious and uneasy.
Liu Xiangshang comforted Kuang Jie: "Kuang Jie, this is a normal case-handling process. Don't be frightened by Yang Wanwan. Yang Wanwan, Kuang Jie, telling the truth is the quality a student should have. Don't..."
Yang Wanwan immediately retorted, "Teacher Liu, I think what you said was inappropriate. What you said will give the students the wrong impression that I am the kind of person who holds grudges. If anyone says anything, they will have to worry about being threatened and retaliated against by me."
Liu Xiangshang: "Yang Wanwan! What kind of attitude is this! Director Cao and Director Ma are right here, and you're still being so arrogant!"
“Teacher Liu, it is precisely because Director Cao and Director Ma are both here that I am reminding you to be mindful of the boundaries you should have as a teacher! When did you see that Kuang Jie was frightened by me? When did I frighten her? Please watch your words.”
Liu Xiangshang: "All the classmates saw that you scared her! Didn't you see that she was almost crying from fright?"
Yang Wanwan scoffed, "You're going to cry from this? Teacher Liu, according to your logic, wouldn't I be scared to death by you?"
Bao Ya: "Oh..."
Other boys: "Oh..."
A chorus of jeers erupted immediately, and Liu Xiangshang blushed furiously!
Those brats!
Director Cao: "Alright, Teacher Liu, let's ask about the matter first."
Liu Xiang glared at Yang Wanwan unwillingly, then said to cover up his dissatisfaction, "I'm a teacher, I won't argue with you."
Director Cao looked at the students and asked, "Does anyone have anything to say about what happened that day?"
No one said a word.
Director Cao called on several students to speak, and they all said that they hadn't noticed Yang Wanwan at all that day.
Director Cao and Director Ma discussed in hushed tones for a while. Director Cao then asked Yang Wanwan, "Yang Wanwan, is there anything else you want to say?"
Yang Wanwan asked, "Director Cao, Teacher Liu said that 2,800 yuan was lost. The class monitor only had 1,400 yuan in his possession. What happened to the other 1,400 yuan?"
Liu Xiangshang hurriedly said, "The video shows that only the money in Rodton's desk was missing, but Kuang Jie later discovered that the 1,400 yuan she was keeping was also gone."
"So, Teacher Liu thinks I took the money that Kuang Jie was keeping?"
"Who else could it be but you? It's just that we didn't record any video."
"This doesn't make sense, Teacher Liu. If there's video footage of Rodton's lost money, why isn't there any video footage of Kuang Jie's lost money? Kuang Jie, when did you discover the money was missing?"
Kuang Jie said softly, "It was the day after Rodton lost his money."
Which specific day?
“Last Friday afternoon during class, Luo Min was the last one to pay in the fourth period of Friday morning. She paid me and I put the money away, intending to give it to Teacher Liu in the afternoon class. But when I came back from home at noon, I found that the money was gone.”
Liu Xiangshang said, "Yang Wanwan, the time this money went missing coincides with the time Rodton lost his money, so we deduce that you took it when no one was in the classroom at noon. However, there was a power outage during that time, so no video was recorded. Of course, it's also possible that you didn't take the money, but you are the prime suspect."
Yang Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Then, Teacher Liu, could it be that this money disappeared for some other reason?"
"What other reason could there be? If there is, it's definitely related to you."
"Teacher Liu, you are too arbitrary and are not suitable to be a teacher at all!"
Liu Xiangshang pointed at Yang Wanwan angrily: "Director Cao, look at this, look at this! Have you ever seen a student like this?!"
Director Cao pondered.
Director Ma, who had been quiet all along, calmly spoke up: "The video shows that the person who took the money was Yang Wanwan. Director Cao, this matter has already blown up, so there must be a result, and everyone must be given an explanation. We can't just try to smooth things over."
Seeing that someone was helping him, Liu Xiangshang said, "Director Cao, I'll just say it!"
Director Cao stood with his hands behind his back, his face grave: "Director Ma, I'm not trying to smooth things over, I'm just being cautious. I don't think it's appropriate to conclude that Yang Wanwan did this based solely on a silhouette. Besides, there are no concrete witnesses yet. Kuang Jie only said she saw Yang Wanwan approach the table, but she didn't actually see Yang Wanwan take the money."
Liu Xiangshang: "Director Cao, it's so obvious, anyone can see that person is Yang Wanwan. Only you are hesitant, looking back and forth, only thinking about leaving a good reputation for yourself. I think that's inappropriate."
Director Cao frowned, but said nothing.
Director Ma looked at Kuang Jie and said, "Kuang Jie, think back carefully now. Did you see Yang Wanwan take the money?"
Kuang Jie glanced at Yang Wanwan cautiously, a troubled expression on her face. "Teacher, I saw her go to Rodton's table and take something from inside, but I really can't say for sure whether it was money or not."
Liu Xiangshang said, "Although Kuang Jie didn't see clearly what she was holding, the video shows that she was holding money. Director Cao, it's very clear now, what are you still hesitating about?"
Director Cao: "Yang Wanwan, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Yang Wanwan calmly said, "Director Cao, according to your logic, the evidence of whether I stole the money is the video. So, if the video is fake, can it still be used as evidence?"
Liu Xiangshang: "Fake? Yang Wanwan, are you kidding me?! How could the video be fake? This is a video from the classroom! You say it's fake? Fine, then make a fake video for us! Have you gone crazy from studying too much?"
