Chapter 3364 Added to Silver Alliance [tianxiadujue]
"So that's how it is..."
The store manager looked up at the plain ceiling above. After working under this roof for so many years, he had never imagined that a day like this would come.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly thought of something strange: "But why is it that after I looked for Nanakawa last time, nothing was stolen from the store in the following month? If not, I wouldn't be so sure that Nanakawa was the thief."
Mao Lilan looked at the real thief who was standing in the middle of the crowd and was caught by her, and answered hesitantly:
"Maybe it's because he's not that bad after all. After hiding in the ceiling and hearing you scolding Qichuan, he felt like he had implicated this innocent employee, so he stopped stealing and instead used the little money he had saved from selling game software to make a living.
"But then the money ran out and he wanted to steal more to reduce the frequency of thefts, and that's when what happened today happened."
"But no matter what..." Thinking of the classmate who was scolded innocently and suspected for a whole month, Mao Lilan glared at the silent thief, "Stealing is stealing! If it weren't for you, Xiao Xuan wouldn't be treated as a thief!"
As her fists clenched tighter and tighter, the middle-aged man gradually felt an indescribable oppression.
His knees softened, and he immediately dropped to his knees: "Fei, I'm so sorry!!"
Mao Lilan, who was about to punch him, said: "......?"
The middle-aged man, his head pressed to the ground, said sadly, "Three months ago, I was laid off by the company and kicked out by the landlord. I was starving and staggering down the street. When I came to my senses, I had already arrived at this store.
"I looked at the lunch boxes on the counter and the food in the cabinets, and I really wanted to wolf them all down. But, but I had no money...
"I was tired and hungry, so I ended up going to the bathroom and sitting on the toilet to rest for a while while thinking about my life. I don't know how long it was, but suddenly, the lights went out.
"I ran out and found the shop was closed and no one was inside. The automatic door was also locked and wouldn't open no matter how hard I pushed.
"I was panicked for a moment, but gradually, after my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I suddenly realized... there was food in front of me, lots of food!
"And then I..."
He didn't finish, but everyone present undoubtedly understood.
The store manager looked at him with a twitching eye: "And then you started eating secretly?"
"I'm sorry." The middle-aged man scratched his head. "I thought it wouldn't be a big deal if I just picked something cheap..."
"What do you mean it's not a big deal?" the store manager raged. "Do you know how much merchandise I have to sell to make back the revenue you stole?"
The middle-aged man was startled and quickly bowed and apologized.
The store manager said: "Don't think that just saying sorry will get you away with it. You must compensate me for all the losses you have caused me!"
"I'll compensate you..." The middle-aged man sat down dejectedly, "I don't have any money to pay you."
The store manager snorted, "Then you can work in my store—of course, you won't get paid for the first few months. Your salary will be compensation for those items."
“?!” The middle-aged man was stunned.
He chewed over these words over and over again. After a moment, he excitedly stood up and confirmed in disbelief, "I've caused you so much trouble, and you're actually willing to give me a job opportunity? Is this true? You...you're not lying to me!"
"You're not lying." The store manager glared at him, but his expression was a little more relaxed than before. "I also started working in this industry after losing my job, so it's not like I can't understand how you feel."
"Manager..." The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with tears, and he finally burst into tears.
The store manager looked at the unlucky guy and sighed: "Work hard and make money!"
Middle-aged man: “Yes!”
At this tender moment, a voice came faintly from the side.
"Well, although it seems not good to disturb you now..." Mao Lilan pointed at Nanakawa Xuan, "but shouldn't you two apologize to my classmates?"
"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko also recovered from this happy ending and supported Mao Lilan with her hands on her hips, "She was wrongly accused of being a thief by you, and she almost lost her job!"
The two middle-aged men came back to their senses, looked at each other, and without being too shy, lowered their heads to Nanakawa Xuan: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."
Nanakawa Aya was originally watching this shocking "person hiding in the ceiling" drama like a spectator.
But when she heard this, she suddenly felt aggrieved. She couldn't help but rush over and hugged the two classmates: "Thank you!"
On one side were two middle-aged men, and on the other side were three high school girls. Both sides were crying and laughing, and the scene was strange yet harmonious.
Judy watched the scene in silence, then looked at Jiang Xia, the only one left: "..." At this time, shouldn't she also rush over and hug Jiang Xia and cry, so as to appear more harmonious?
Next to her, the high school detective noticed her gaze and turned his head, looking at her with a bit of confusion.
After a moment, Jiang Xia smiled a friendly smile. This smile, full of goodwill, made people feel that even if they rushed over and hugged him for no apparent reason, they would not be pushed away.
However, Judy certainly didn't behave like the perverted teacher in the weird comics.
She thought for a moment and whispered to Jiang Xia, "Xiaolan and Yuanzi are going to my house tonight for a pajama party. Are you going?"
Jiang Xia looked at her.
It sounds a bit strange that a male high school student suddenly joins the "pajama party" between female teachers and female students.
The nature of the party was specifically pointed out, making it look like an invitation, but the foreign teacher obviously had no intention of actually inviting him to go.
As a polite high school detective, Jiang Xia could only shake his head: "You guys go have fun, I have something else to do tonight."
It is certainly sad to miss an opportunity to get together.
But thankfully, as the case came to a close, Judy's defensive mentality was lowering, and the murderous aura of the crispy french fry smell that lingered around her had quietly disappeared.
Of course, the most reassuring thing is that, if nothing unexpected happens, Teacher Judy will stay in Tokyo for a long time in the future. As long as we put in a little effort, we can get back the French fries that we lost today.
…
The incident ended without the police being involved.
Soon, under the gaze of the disappointed Suzuki Sonoko and Judy, who felt a chill inexplicably, a high school detective who appeared out of nowhere waved goodbye to them and left as smoothly as he had appeared.
