Chapter 175 Who did it?
Without waiting for them to say anything, Wu Minzhi hurried out.
Someone had destroyed the fruit tree specimens cultivated by Professor Wen, and the news had already spread throughout the school.
Yuan Xiao didn't know why, but he was sensitive enough to feel that he would be suspected of this.
Sure enough, before the second class was over, Wu Minzhi came to look for him.
As soon as they entered the office, the vice dean said, "Student Yuanxiao, don't be nervous. We are just conducting a routine questioning."
"Where were you at 10 o'clock the night before yesterday?"
Yuanxiao looked strange, but still answered obediently, "At home."
"Can anyone testify?"
"Can my family testify?"
The vice dean shook his head. "Your family will naturally favor you and cannot be trusted."
Professor Wen patted the table and said, "I said, Yuanxiao couldn't have done this!"
"But dean, the security guard said that he saw Yuanxiao enter the laboratory at around 10 o'clock the night before yesterday!"
The vice dean basically believed what the security guard said and kept on biting Yuanxiao.
He and Professor Wen had been at odds for many years. He
was already old, but he still occupied the position of dean. If
he didn't step down, he would always be suppressed.
Yuanxiao felt a little strange. She was the one who gave him the fruit tree. Why was she going through all this trouble?
She looked at Wu Minzhi, "Teacher, what did the security guard say?"
Wu Minzhi recalled.
Basically, the security patrol found someone opening the door of the laboratory with a key at 10 o'clock in the evening.
He walked over to ask, and the person said calmly: "I am Yuan Xiao, a student of Professor Wen. The professor asked me to come here to get data for tomorrow."
The security guard heard what she said and saw that she had a key, so he ignored it.
Professor Wen rubbed his brows, looking tired, "Have you given your key to anyone else?"
"No, but my key has not been with me these two days. It has been in the dormitory."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Last time I brought Hao Mei into Professor Wen's laboratory, I left my coat in the dormitory, and the key was inside the coat. I was afraid of losing it, so I asked my roommate to help me put the key away. If the vice dean doesn't believe it, you can ask my roommate."
The vice dean winked at Wu Minzhi, "Go call her roommate out." The one
who put away the key was Yuan Laixi, who directly admitted that the key was still on her desk.
Zhang Yue and Hao Mei did not speak, but they could prove to each other that they were in the dormitory the night before yesterday.
Yuan Xiao's suspicion was barely cleared, but it could not be ruled out that she had a backup key.
The vice president still focused on Yuan Xiao, hoping to report to the police for investigation.
Yuan Laixi glanced at Hao Mei, her hands suddenly clenched, and she lowered her head.
Yuan Xiao finally agreed to report to the police. After all, she didn't do it, so she wasn't afraid of finding out the truth.
But the problem is that even if the police come to investigate, the existing evidence points directly to Yuan Xiao.
Things were at a stalemate for a while.
Professor Wen glanced at Yuan Xiao and stood up, "Let the police investigate this matter slowly. Anyway, you just need to remember that it is impossible for Yuan Xiao to do this. Let's go first."
Yuan Xiao returned to the classroom and felt that everyone's eyes were on her.
She glanced at Hao Mei and the others.
Hao Mei looked a little uncomfortable, "Just now they asked me what happened to us, we couldn't help but tell them."
Yuan Laixi paused and said coldly, "It's not us, it's you."
Hao Mei's face changed slightly, looking at Yuan Laixi in disbelief, "Xixi, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Yue sneered, "It was you, I didn't say anything."
"Then...then they asked me, am I lying?"
Yuan Xiao shook his head, "It's okay, I said it, it will be spread sooner or later."
Hao Mei took Yuan Xiao's hand affectionately, "I said Xiao Xiao won't blame me."
After the morning class, Yuan Xiao and his group went to the cafeteria to eat.
Yuan Xiao underestimated the admiration of the school students for Professor Wen.
It was only a few hundred meters from the classroom to the cafeteria, and the people around them never stopped giving them instructions.
What's worse, he walked up to Yuan Xiao and cursed him.
"How dare you stay in school?"
"Professor Wen is still your teacher, how could you do such a thing?"
"Quit school immediately, our Agricultural University can't tolerate students like you!"
"That's right, quit school!"
The entrance to the cafeteria was blocked by people, and they seemed to be not letting them in.
Although Yuan Xiao had a good psychological quality, she couldn't help but collapse at that time.
She clenched her fists slowly, took a few steps back, and said to the others: "You guys go eat, I won't eat anymore."
She turned and left, Yuan Laixi glanced at Hao Mei and the others, and followed her.
Zhang Yue saw Hao Mei calmly walked into the cafeteria and said sarcastically, "Why, you don't want to coax them?"
Hao Mei glanced at her and said, "I'll go back and get them food. By the way, Zhang Yue, this is not you who did it, right? Speaking of the holidays, you are the only one among us who doesn't like Yuan Xiao."
Zhang Yue's face was distorted, "There is no evidence, why are you talking nonsense!"
Hao Mei sneered and said nothing more.
Yuan Xiao would not really be hungry, so she went to the canteen and bought some biscuits to fill her stomach.
Although there are students here, they are much calmer than in the cafeteria.
Yuan Laixi followed Yuan Xiao closely and hesitated to speak several times.
After Yuan Xiao finished shopping, he came out and said calmly: "Just tell me what you want to say. In fact, you don't have to follow them. You can go to the cafeteria to eat and they won't make things difficult for you."
Yuan Laixi has always been a man of few words and didn't explain anything.
After a long silence, she finally spoke: "You didn't do it."
Yuan Xiao chuckled, "Of course I didn't do it."
"Someone else touched the key." She said softly.
Yuan Xiao stopped and turned to look at her with a deep look in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"The day before yesterday and yesterday, I can guarantee that the key is with me. But before that, Hao Mei borrowed your clothes to wear. I saw that you were not in school, and I had no right to say anything to her, so I let her do whatever she wanted. Later, you hurried back to school and asked me to help you put the key in your clothes. Only then did I know that there was a key inside."
Yuan Laixi looked a little embarrassed.
She was not sure whether her guess was right. If it was not right, then she was wrongly accusing others.
But Hao Mei and Yuan Xiao were usually very good friends, so she shouldn't do this.
Yuan Xiao frowned, "Do you suspect that she took my key to the store to back it up?"
Yuan Laixi clenched her fists tightly, "I, I'm not sure, but if you want to say who else is suspicious besides you and me..."
She thinks it's Hao Mei.
