Chapter 20
"What are you arguing about!" It was Lao Chen who broke the deadlock.
He rushed into the classroom and started yelling: "I heard you guys arguing from two floors away! Why don't you just go to my office!"
Old Chen was short and short, but when he roared, he was full of momentum, like a menacing chow lion.
The troublesome students didn't expect him to come so early, and they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.
Only Yan Shiqing was still holding on to Yang Guang's collar, and the students who lifted the table hurriedly grabbed a few Qi Jiu's textbooks to block the mobile phone on the table.
Old Chen's eyes widened angrily. He glared at some students who pretended to be buried in their books and didn't dare to make a sound. Then he turned to the roll call and demanded answers: "Qi Jiu! Explain what happened!"
Qi Jiu helped Yan Shiqing's desk up, and the boy next to him hurriedly tugged him, and whispered: "Squad leader, it's our fault for misunderstanding you, and I will definitely apologize to you when I come down."
"Hide it, don't tell the teacher."
Qi Jiu raised his head slowly, meeting the gazes of Ai Ai several times.
The dozen or so people who dropped their mobile phones looked at him beggingly, and some even folded their hands together, begging him to blur the matter.
Qi Jiu felt that the grievance and anger just now had passed, and his heart fell into a strange calm.
He felt that he couldn't get in touch with these people's thinking, and even had sincere doubts about their thinking.
Qi Jiu thought, it was obvious that they did such an outrageous thing, and only then did they offend people, why would they feel that they were helping?
Is it because the image in the weekdays gave them this idea?Is it because your personality is too soft, or the other party has too much self-awareness?
It was hard for Qi Jiu to figure out this reason, he sighed deeply at the boy with raised eyebrows.
He knew that what he did next would definitely affect the prestige and reputation he had built over the past three years, and change how his classmates viewed him, but as we all know——
Qi Jiu didn't care about these things.
"Mr. Chen." He pointed at his desktop, his voice was as gentle as ever, "The classmate who stole has been caught."
"Student Yang Guang, in addition to stealing things, he paid off and found many mobile phones of his classmates."
"Hey!" The boy next to him immediately bumped into him, "I didn't ask you to—"
"What do you want him to do!" Lao Chen walked over quickly, and gave him a fierce look, "Is it reasonable for you to keep your mobile phone privately?"
"These students should reflect on themselves first, and I will ask you to review after I come down. I will never return your mobile phones to you before the college entrance examination." Old Chen walked out the door with the dozen or so mobile phones in his hands, "Self-study in the next class!"
"Qi Jiu, Yang Guang...and Yan Shiqing, what are you doing with Yang Guang—come to my office."
Qi Jiu followed behind, and when he stepped out the door, he happened to meet Zhou Qing who came in from the stairs first.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Qing flicked his tongue at him first, then glanced at Yang Guang who came out of the main entrance, "...What's wrong with you and your old tablemate?"
Qi Jiu followed suit and cast his gaze over there.
Yang Guang flinched and walked against the wall, not daring to raise his head from beginning to end.
Qi Jiu shrugged: "Who knows."
The class is upright, and there is only one teacher in the office, Lao Chen.
He crossed his arms, looked around, and finally fell on Yang Guang: "Why are you stealing from others?"
Yang Guang's face was livid, and he clenched his fists tremblingly: "Teacher, I really didn't steal it."
"...Yes, it's him." He pointed his trembling fingertips at Yan Shiqing, "He stole something, planted it on the squad leader, and wanted to plant it on me."
Yan Shiqing just shook his head: "No."
Yang Guang's reaction suddenly became violent. He rushed over and grabbed Yan Shiqing by the collar, and said incoherently: "Yes, that's him, I——he slandered me and still grabbed me like this. I really didn't take it!"
Qi Jiu immediately interposed between the two, pushed their chests to forcefully separate them, and then explained to Old Chen exactly what happened in the classroom just now.
At the end, he deliberately added: "I don't think Yan Shiqing is lying."
As soon as this remark came out, Yang Guang jumped up anxiously, and explained in a panic: "No, neither do I!"
Old Chen was so stimulated by their reaction that his temples were throbbing. He rubbed his head and thought for a while, and finally sighed, "Let's go, go to the Moral Education Department to check the monitoring."
"Surveillance... monitoring?" Yang Guang's expression suddenly became dull, "Isn't the monitoring in the classroom off?"
Old Chen looked at him suspiciously: "Who said that?"
Yang Guang stopped speaking suddenly, shrugged his shoulders and followed at the end of the line.
The Moral Education Department allocated a small single room, which was turned into a monitoring room and a maintenance worker's rest room. When the door was opened, the inside was filled with smoke.
Not only Lao Chen, but even the maintenance workers were shocked.
He didn't seem to expect that someone would come at this time, he frantically put out the cigarette, and said hello: "... Hello, teacher."
Qi Jiu's eyes widened, and the moment he met the maintenance worker's eyes, both of them wrote five words on their faces:
Why are you here!
The maintenance worker——Liu He had lost his slovenly look in the Internet cafe. Now that he had changed into overalls and wore a pair of glasses, he looked like a dog.
"A classmate in my class dropped something, and the suspects are these two students, and no one will admit it." Old Chen frowned and let out the smell of smoke, "You..."
He paused, glanced at Liu He's expression, then glanced at Qi Jiu who was also speechless: "Do you know each other?"
"It's nothing." Qi Jiu shook his head like a rattle, "It's just the first time I've met... such a slovenly Uncle Wei."
"...Young people are like this." Old Chen coughed lightly and reminded gently, "The old maintenance worker retired last month, so he was recruited here. We should learn from the old senior in every aspect."
"...Indeed." Liu He touched his nose in embarrassment, and glanced at the group of people, trying to bring the topic back to the topic, "You came here just to let me check the surveillance, right?"
Old Chen nodded: "Students from Class 37, see if you can check."
Liu He responded, and glanced at the two suspects following Old Chen from the corner of his eye.
Yan Shiqing's face was like sinking water, standing at the door, he seemed to dislike the smell of smoke in the room.
The other student was much more embarrassed, rubbing his hands all the time, his head almost buried on the ground, his legs shaking like chaff.
This scene is so obvious that there is no need to check the surveillance, it is clear at a glance who stole the things.
"But classroom surveillance is not turned on on weekdays." Liu He said tentatively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another classmate startled, hesitantly raised his eyes to look at the display screen.
After realizing that he was looking at Liu He, he quickly lowered his head again, but his posture was obviously much more confident, and his hands no longer rubbed nervously, but clasped together instead.
Liu He laughed in his heart, but pushed his glasses with a serious face: "But the school just installed the spherical camera 4X rotating zoom monitoring system two days ago. One system has four cameras, which can take pictures far away."
"Your Class [-]...is on the fourth floor, right?" He propped his chin up and thought for a while, and then he seemed to have suddenly realized, "It seems that there is one hanging on the old locust tree in the atrium, facing you The class glass can illuminate the entire classroom clearly."
In an instant, the entire monitoring room was silent.
Lao Chen and Liu He looked at each other, knowing that this was a lie.
But Yang Guang opened his jaw slightly and his face was pale. He obviously didn't expect the situation to develop like this.
In fact, he calmed down a little, and after careful analysis of what Liu He said, he could understand that it was a lie.
The old locust tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, and there will be blind spots wherever it is hung. If you really want to spend this money, it is better to place it in a conspicuous position, and it will also have a deterrent effect on students.
It's a pity that he was so frightened that he lost his soul, coupled with his guilty conscience, his brain lacked the ability to judge for a while, so he could only passively follow the program: "What... locust tree?"
"Please check the surveillance during the class break." Qi Jiu matched Liu He's tone very cooperatively, "You can judge from that video."
"Of course." Liu He said sternly, "You need to report to the authority to check the surveillance. During this period, please ask the head teacher to contact the parents first. After all, it is such a big matter."
Hearing the word "parents", Yang Guang became completely panicked, his legs trembled so much that he almost fell down.
Lao Chen also cooperated very much and called the parents on the spot.
Beep, beep - click, click.
The two voices were infinitely amplified in the cramped monitoring room, and Yang Guang felt that he was going to be short of oxygen.
Leaning his back against the wall, he seemed to have heard the hysterical screams of his parents, and saw their angry and desperate eyes tearing him apart.
His breathing became more and more rapid, and he sweated more and more, until at some point he stopped panting completely.
"I found it. The classroom on the fourth floor of the Deyu Building is next to the stairs. I'll adjust the angle right away." Liu He's voice suddenly sounded.
At the same time, Lao Chen's phone was successfully dialed: "Hi, I'm Yang Guang's class——"
"Chen, Teacher Chen!" Yang Guang screamed suddenly and interrupted him in a panic, "Don't...don't tell my parents..."
His body seemed to be empty, and he murmured to the empty wall: "Yes, I took it."
With his back turned to him, Liu He couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the words, and whispered to Qi Jiu: "You students are really not good at mentality."
"After all, I'm still a teenager, and I'm terrified when it comes to parents."
Qi Jiu didn't say a word, and frowned at Yang Guang, who was out of his mind.
Yang Guang was still the same as before, especially afraid of his parents.
His parents didn't let him do anything but let him concentrate on his studies, but if Yang Guang didn't do well in the exam, he wouldn't get a good face even after going home for a month.
This was the most he said to Qi Jiu when he was at the same table with Yang Guang.
Often after chanting, one more sentence should be added:
"I really envy you for having such a good mother."
Lao Chen hung up the phone temporarily, and gave Yang Guang a meaningful look: "Let's go, come out and let's chat."
He waved to Qi Jiu: "You two hurry up and go back to your self-study."
Qi Jiu chased after him, digging at the door frame with his fingers: "Teacher, can I go there together?"
He turned his gaze to Yang Guang, hesitantly said: "I...I want to know the reason."
Lao Chen just wanted to turn his eyes between Qi Jiu and Yang Guang, but in the end he didn't know which identity Qi Jiu was looking at, so he nodded in agreement.
He wanted to make a quick decision and conduct the trial directly in the Academic Affairs Office.
Yan Shiqing was not interested in this, and left after he finished speaking, closing the door gently.
As May approached, when the weather was warmer and pleasant, Yang Guang was sweating profusely.
He was breathing very unevenly, his face turned pale and red, Qi Jiu handed him a tissue, but he dodged it repulsively.
No one urged him, Yang Guang finally adjusted his breath several times, and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to steal anything, it's useless for me to take their card, I just—"
"I just hope to have a little memory in my high school."
