After helping Song Shishi stand steadily, Xie Youan let go of her hand and took a step back.
"What's wrong? What's the matter that makes you so flustered?"
Song Shishi told Xie Youan that the file was lost, and that He Xiangzhe said he saw Mo Mingfei running away with a file.
"After I returned to the office, I didn't see Comrade Mo and Comrade He come back. Where did Comrade He see Comrade Mo?"
Hearing Xie Youan's words, Song Shishi was stunned, "When did you return to the office?"
Xie Youan looked at his watch and said, "About twenty minutes ago."
Song Shishi calculated the time and found that Xie Youan came back basically after she and Su Yao left the office.
It happened almost at the same time.
But just now in the information room, He Xiangzhe clearly said that he saw Mo Mingfei in the office with a suspicious look on his face and holding a document.
...
...
This amount of information doesn't match up at all.
Assuming that He Xiangzhe saw Mo Mingfei before she returned to the office, why didn't she and Su Yao meet He Xiangzhe along the way when they went to find Xie Yushan?
Where did He Xiangzhe go during this period of at least twenty minutes?
Since he found that something was wrong with Mo Mingfei, why didn't he stop Mo Mingfei or go find Mr. Xie?
While thinking about these questions, Song Shishi gradually calmed down.
"There are still many doubts about this matter. Let's find Mo Mingfei first."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Xie Youan could respond, they heard He Xiangzhe's sharp and piercing voice coming from the end of the corridor.
"It's you! Do you have the document? Stop pretending and hand it over!"
Song Shishi and Xie Youan looked at each other, then ran towards the source of the sound.
At the corner at the end of the corridor, He Xiangzhe pointed at Mo Mingfei, and his finger almost poked Mo Mingfei's face.
Mo Mingfei was frightened by this sudden question and his face turned pale, and he instinctively took a step back.
He waved his hands subconsciously and argued loudly:
"What document are you talking about? I really don't know anything! I just... just came here..."
His eyes were full of innocence and fear, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Before Mo Mingfei could finish, He Xiangzhe shouted, "Don't try to make excuses. I saw everything. When Mr. Xie comes, I'll see how you're going to explain yourself!"
Su Yao was also attracted by the noise here, and she said anxiously:
"Comrade Mo, Comrade Song's document is lost. This is no small matter. If you took it, admit it immediately and return it. Don't make a big deal out of it."
Mo Mingfei's face was full of grievance, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"I really didn't take it, why don't you believe me?"
His body was shaking slightly with anger and grievance, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Xie Yushan rushed over with a serious look on his face.
He glanced at Mo Mingfei's hands. Mo Mingfei had nothing in his hands at the moment.
He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Stop arguing, don't get excited, and find the file quickly."
After saying that, he waved to Mo Mingfei and said, "Come with me to the office."
Mo Mingfei frowned, feeling distressed but unable to express himself.
After following Xie Yushan away inexplicably, everyone split up again to look for the lost document.
Song Shishi stood there without moving. She tilted her head and tried hard to recall what happened that day.
She always felt that she was missing some important information.
But she couldn't remember what it was.
"Let's go back to the office and look for it again."
Xie Youan stood behind Song Shishi and spoke softly.
"good."
The two returned to the office, and He Xiangzhe had also returned.
When He Xiangzhe saw them, he jumped up and down and shouted:
"He must have hidden the document. He has something to hide! We can't just let this go. Mo Mingfei must be punished!"
There was a hint of madness in He Xiangzhe's voice, and his eyes revealed a ruthlessness that would not give up until the goal was achieved.
"I didn't steal. Don't accuse me! How could I do such a thing?"
Unexpectedly, when He Xiangzhe said this, Mo Mingfei happened to return to the office. He heard He Xiangzhe's words at the door of the office and felt both aggrieved and angry.
Mo Mingfei's face turned red with anxiety, and his voice rose several octaves.
Mo Mingfei's eyes were filled with anger. He stared at He Xiangzhe, as if he wanted to see through him.
Song Shishi looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and felt that something was wrong.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't believe it. If you know what's good for you, just hand over the documents immediately."
How could He Xiangzhe just let Mo Mingfei go like that? He insisted that it was Mo Mingfei who took the document and refused to listen to Mo Mingfei's explanation.
"I'll say it one last time, I didn't take it!"
Mo Mingfei's gaze swept across Song Shishi and Xie Youan, and finally fell on He Xiangzhe.
He Xiangzhe seemed to have expected Mo Mingfei to say that. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he quickly returned to his angry expression.
"Since you said you didn't take it, do you dare let us search your backpack?"
Mo Mingfei straightened his back and said with his neck stiff, "Go ahead and search. Am I afraid of you?"
When He Xiangzhe was about to reach for Mo Mingfei's backpack, Mo Mingfei spoke again and blocked He Xiangzhe's way.
"Search is search, but we need to make this clear in advance."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"If you don't find anything, then you must apologize to me publicly!"
Mo Mingfei almost said this while gritting his teeth.
He Xiangzhe looked unconcerned, "What if I find it?"
"If you find it, I will kneel down and kowtow to you to apologize today!"
"Okay, you said it, and Team Leader Xie and Comrade Song were both witnesses."
After he finished speaking, He Xiangzhe pointed at Xie Youan and Song Shishi.
Song Shishi frowned the whole time as she watched the argument between He Xiangzhe and Mo Mingfei.
She suddenly realized a problem.
He Xiangzhe has always been low-key, and he and Mo Mingfei usually look like good brothers.
What happened today?
How to face Mo Mingfei? It seemed like he was deliberately provoking Mo Mingfei with words, just to wait for the current situation.
When something seems strange, there must be something fishy going on!
So she didn't want to express any opinions at all now, nor did she want to take sides between Mo Mingfei and He Xiangzhe.
She carefully observed the expressions of He Xiangzhe and Mo Mingfei, trying to see something from them.
"Team Leader Xie, you all heard it. He said it himself. Don't accuse me of bullying him later."
After He Xiangzhe finished speaking, without waiting for Xie Youan to respond, he reached out and grabbed the backpack that Mo Mingfei had placed on the desk.
He lifted the bottom end of the backpack.
“Crash!”
The things in Mo Mingfei's backpack were scattered all over the floor by He Xiangzhe.
But because of this, they all saw the file bag on the ground at a glance.
