Chapter 176: Each has his own story
Yuan Xiao was actually reluctant to believe it. She preferred to doubt Zhang Yue over Hao Mei.
"But Xixi, the night before yesterday, you didn't leave the dormitory, right?"
Yuan Laixi tilted her head and recalled, "In fact, it's not like we didn't leave. Zhang Yue and I didn't leave, but Hao Mei went to see her friend in the middle, saying that she was from the same hometown." Yuan Xiao's
heart sank slightly, and she hurried to the teacher's office.
Wu Minzhi was stunned when she heard her say that she wanted to take a leave.
"It's not appropriate to take a leave at this time."
Who knows, as soon as she left, others would say that she was hiding for fear of crime.
"Teacher, I have to ask for leave. I found a clue and want to ask clearly."
Wu Minzhi packed up the things on the table and locked them in the cupboard, "Then I'll go with you."
Yuan Xiao had no objection, and the two of them left the school together.
She asked around and found out that there was only one place near the school where locks could be made.
Apart from here, the others were very far away.
Assuming that it was really Hao Mei who did it, she was not familiar with the capital, so she must have chosen to make locks here.
Yuan Xiao happened to be wearing a thin jacket left at school today.
When he came to the store, the boss thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a deep impression of you, but I remember your jacket. There are tomatoes embroidered on it, and I said my daughter likes to eat tomatoes."
Wu Minzhi thought for a moment and said, "There should be a record of key duplication, right?"
The boss nodded, took out a notebook, and looked at it with his reading glasses.
"It should be this girl called Yuan Xiao... She was the only one who came that morning."
Yuan Xiao felt relieved. "Teacher, I was not in school a few days ago. This dress was left in the dormitory. I couldn't possibly wear this dress to make a key."
She was almost certain that this person was Hao Mei.
Wu Minzhi patted her shoulder, "We will investigate thoroughly and will not wrongly accuse you. We will go back to school immediately."

Wu Minzhi called the four people in Yuan Xiao's dormitory to the office together, and also called Professor Wen and the vice dean.
"Hao Mei, did you leave the dormitory the night before yesterday?"
Hao Mei was suddenly called out and was startled. She was still in shock.
"Huh?" Wu Minzhi looked at her.
Hao Mei nodded quickly, "Yes, I'm with my friend, she's from my hometown."
Wu Minzhi nodded, "Are you familiar with the clothes Yuan Xiao is wearing?"
Hao Mei's eyes dodged and shook her head.
"How can I be familiar with her clothes?"
"But your roommate said that you borrowed them for two days." Wu Minzhi said.
Hao Mei's pupils suddenly widened, and her eyes moved back and forth between Yuan Laixi and Zhang Yue.
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Laixi pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm just telling you what I know."
Hao Mei sneered, "Do you think I did it?"
Her eyes slowly turned red and filled with tears. She looked at Yuan Xiao in disbelief, "Xiao Xiao, do you also think I did it?"
Yuan Xiao didn't look at her, "I don't doubt you."
Hao Mei's expression changed very quickly, and she immediately burst into laughter, "I knew that Zhang Yue was the person in the dormitory who disliked you the most. Even if you doubted her, you should have doubted her first."
She thought she was doing a good job of diverting trouble away.
But Yuan Xiao didn't take it to heart at all, and said: "Every one of us is worthy of suspicion."
Yuan Laixi nodded and said seriously: "I think Yuan Xiao is right."
Wu Minzhi continued to ask: "We went to the store to ask, and the boss said that he remembered this dress. There was indeed a girl named Yuan Xiao who went to the store to make a key. But we compared the handwriting, and it was not Yuan Xiao's."
Hao Mei's hands suddenly tightened, and she stammered: "Maybe, Maybe she wrote it ugly on purpose?"
Wu Minzhi laughed and looked at her: "Strange, how do you know that the handwriting is uglier than Yuan Xiao's?"
Hao Mei looked away, "I guessed."
Wu Minzhi knocked on the table, "Handwriting is not the most important thing, just like... Hao Mei said, maybe she wrote it ugly on purpose. The problem lies with this dress. Yuan Xiao was not in school those few days, and her clothes were left in the dormitory. Can you prove this?"
Yuan Laixi and Zhang Yue both nodded.
Only Hao Mei retorted: "Maybe she has another one exactly the same?"
Yuan Xiao's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Hao Mei with some confusion.
He didn't understand what he had done to make her dislike him.
Wu Minzhi nodded, "You have a point." She
really didn't spare any effort to splash dirty water on Yuan Xiao.
Wu Minzhi asked them to leave and asked Hao Mei's so-called "fellow villager". This classmate said without a doubt that Hao Mei was with her the night before.
Both parties insisted on their own opinions, and the matter was deadlocked again.
Professor Wen sighed in silence, "Since we can't find out, let's stop here."
The vice dean disagreed and immediately said: "This matter is of a bad nature and must be investigated. Dean, we don't wrongly accuse people, but we can't let this kind of student go! I personally think that Yuan Xiao is the most suspicious, let her temporarily apply for a leave of absence."
Professor Wen's face changed drastically, and he said firmly: "Impossible! I say it again, it can't be Yuan Xiao!"
Wu Minzhi also felt that it couldn't be Yuan Xiao, but he was still very curious about Professor Wen's attitude.
He seemed to believe in Yuan Xiao unconditionally.
"Professor, can you tell me why you trust Yuan Xiao so much?"
Professor Wen secretly glanced at Yuan Xiao, who shook his head undetectably.
The vice president suddenly slapped the table, his beard blowing up: "Don't make eye contact, I saw it!"
Professor Wen made up his mind and said: "The new variety of tomatoes and these fruit trees were not cultivated by me, they were all given to me by Yuan Xiao."
His news shocked the vice president and Wu Minzhi.
They looked back and forth between Professor Wen and Yuan Xiao in shock, speechless.
Wu Minzhi cleared his throat, "Professor, you are not doing this to protect Yuan Xiao..."
"Go away! I am not that kind of person. I will take you to Yuan Xiao's orchard when I get a chance. I plan to make that orchard the experimental base of our school."
Yuan Xiao was speechless. It seems that it is enough for you to decide. There is no need to inform me at all.
The vice president could not believe it in his heart, "If it is Yuan Xiao's, why is your name written on it?"
Yuan Xiao raised his hand, "I asked the professor to do this."
The vice president and Wu Minzhi said in unison: "Why?"
Yuan Xiao looked innocent, "Because I think I have not made any contribution."
She really did not make any contribution. Breeding seeds is a systematic process.
This credit should be given to Professor Wen.
The vice president almost spat out blood!
This is called no contribution, then what is called contribution?
But what Yuan Xiao had not thought about was that the cultivation base needs a high reputation value, and the reputation value is the gratitude of people to her.
If she had no contribution, there would naturally be no such thing as reputation value.
