Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Doing Such Unseemly Acts is Impossible Chapter 759: Chapter 759: Doing Such Unseemly Acts is Impossible Tong Yao from the dormitory next door said, “Luo Qiao and Fang Xiaoling from the dormitory next door also entered our dormitory yesterday. Since there is suspicion towards us, then everyone who has been to our dormitory is a suspect.”
Luo Qiao halted her steps to leave when she saw classmates in the corridor looking towards their dormitory. Hearing her na ntioned, Fang Xiaoling was startled and said, “I went in yesterday just to give Liu Mofei an apple, and I didn’t even sit down before leaving.
What did you an by what you just said, Tong Yao? How long was I in there? Besides, everyone was in your dormitory except for Su Xiaorui and Chiang Yuanyuan. Did I even have a chance?”
Luo Qiao also walked forward a few steps, stopping at the door of the next dormitory, and looking at Tong Yao she said, “Yesterday I was entrusted by Su Xiaorui to return a book to the dormitory. I just went in and out of your dormitory for a mont, and now you’re implicating us too. Perhaps you have ulterior motives.”
“What ulterior motives could I have? If there’s suspicion that we took it, then surely everyone who entered our dormitory is a suspect. Is there sothing wrong with what I said?”
Luo Qiao looked at Tong Yao with a smirk that was not quite a smile and then turned her head to ask Su Xiaorui, “I want to ask when the money went missing. When did you last see that sum of money?”
Tears covered Su Xiaorui’s face, “At noon yesterday, I still counted that money?”
Luo Qiao then asked, “When did you discover it was missing?”
Su Xiaorui took a handkerchief passed by a classmate and wiped away a tear, “This morning.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “So the money went missing between yesterday afternoon and this morning.”
Turning her head towards the dorm supervisors and the security departnt staff, “What do you teachers think?”
Soone from the security departnt said, “Let’s just search.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “From yesterday noon till now, it’s not a short period of ti. If soone intended to steal, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to keep the money hidden in the dormitory for us to search.”
Everyone agreed that it made sense, and after discussing, the dorm supervisors and security departnt staff asked all the students who had been in that dormitory during that ti period to co and make a written statent.
To docunt what they did during that ti and who they were with—to find soone who could vouch for them.
As registration began, Luo Qiao kept her eyes on Tong Yao, noticing sweat forming on her forehead. Luo Qiao sneered inwardly.
Half an hour later, only four people had left the school during that period; Su Xiaorui was one of them, and others could vouch for her, so she was ruled out. Another was a student from the dormitory across the hall, who also had soone to vouch for them, leaving only Luo Qiao and Tong Yao.
Luo Qiao spoke up, “When I went in, there were four classmates in the dormitory. I dropped off the book and imdiately left. Afterwards, I went ho and provided an approximate tiline and gave my ho phone number; you can call to verify.”
Upon hearing this, everyone thought that with a ho phone, the family’s financial situation must be good; they wouldn’t be tempted by a asly hundred-plus yuan, especially when Luo Qiao simply dropped off a book and left. The four in the dorm could attest to it.
Furthermore, Su Xiaorui had specifically asked Luo Qiao to deliver the book, so Luo Qiao likely didn’t even know that Su had money or where it was placed. Evidently, both the dorm supervisors and security departnt felt Luo Qiao could be excluded from suspicion.
At this point, Tong Yao was severely flustered, swallowing nervously nurous tis.
Tong Yao couldn’t explain where she went after leaving school, and in her angst, she started to cry, “You’re really bullying too much. Why am I the one being targeted when Luo Qiao was out even longer than I was?”
Luo Qiao responded, “Because I simply didn’t know Su Xiaorui had money or where it was. Besides, I only entered yesterday because Su Xiaorui asked to help. Plus, I was only there for a short ti. Unless I was blind and irrational, you couldn’t possibly suspect .
The most important thing is that I’m not lacking money and would never stoop so low as to commit such an immoral act.”
Tong Yao looked around at the others, “I might not be able to prove where I went, but that doesn’t an I took the money.”
Luo Qiao didn’t want to ddle in others’ affairs, but Tong Yao had provoked her first, trying to drag both her and Fang Xiaoling into this to muddy the waters, and now, wasting her ti. So she didn’t want to linger over this with her.
