Chapter 148: Stealing chicken but losing rice
Wang Peipei was speechless when asked this question.
She really had no evidence, but Qin Churan’s phone was lost, and he didn’t take it, so it must be Jiang Jiang. Otherwise, what could be wrong?
The older policeman didn't believe what the others said at all. After learning from Qin Churan that the phone was lost last night, he found the dormitory manager and checked the surveillance footage from last night to today.
Surveillance footage showed that from last night to this morning, Jiang, Jiang and the other two were all in the dormitory and no one went out.
If the phone was really stolen, it should still be in the dormitory.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you stole the phone, hand it over. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
When the older policeman said this, several school leaders with unmoved expressions stood beside him.
The school's atmosphere was not good and a theft had occurred, which made them lose face.
“Whoever has it should step forward and don’t waste police resources.” A school leader, with a big belly sticking out, sounded aggressive.
Wang Peipei was so scared that she took a step back.
The older policeman saw her like this.
"If you guys don't say anything, I'll call and request a search right now."
Jiang Jiang had a blank expression on his face and didn't say a word.
The atmosphere became tense.
Ten minutes later, the older policeman who had just finished his phone call handed the faxed search warrant to the school leaders.
Then, the two searched everyone's closets, desks and other places in full view of everyone.
The first place they searched was Qin Churan's location, to make sure she didn't forget where she dropped her phone. They encountered this kind of mistake quite a few times every year.
No, in the closet; no, in my pocket; no, in my bag.
They searched everywhere but couldn't find Qin Churan's cell phone.
I don’t know if it was Wang Peipei’s illusion, but she always felt that Qin Churan didn’t have so few things. Where did the bag she usually carried go?
"I've already told you that my phone was lost, not because I forgot where it was."
As Qin Churan was talking, he glanced at Jiang Jiang inadvertently.
Originally, she was unwilling to believe that it was Jiang Jiang who stole the phone. According to Qin Churan's understanding of Jiang Jiang, she was not that kind of person.
But Wang Peipei swore that she was so sure, that Qin Churan had reason to suspect that Wang Peipei had taken his cell phone and framed Jiang Jiang.
In this case, it's not impossible to step on it.
After searching Qin Churan's location, the two policemen also searched the locker of the classmate who did not live in the dormitory, but they still did not find the cell phone.
It seems that the mobile phone may be placed in the place where Jiang Jiang and Wang Peipei are.
"Classmate, please make way so we can search." After hearing this, Jiang Jiang nodded and gave up his seat.
Under the watchful eyes of the school leaders, two policemen began to search Jiang Jiang's closet. There were not many things in it, only a few old clothes and some work clothes.
Clothes from the hot pot restaurant, work clothes from the coffee shop, and two work badges for handing out flyers.
There was nothing to search in the cabinet, so the two of them searched carefully on the desk and Jiang Jiang's bed, but still found nothing.
This shouldn’t be the case. Wang Peipei felt as if things were out of her control.
She suddenly noticed Jiang Jiang's bulging trouser pocket and pointed excitedly, "The phone is in her trouser pocket!"
Facing Wang Peipei's confident expression, Jiang Jiang smiled slightly and took out everything from her pockets, including the cell phone she pointed out.
“Is this the phone?”
the police officer asked, picking up the phone.
As soon as the older policeman saw the phone, he knew it was a new model from an affordable mobile phone brand. The main focus was on cost-effectiveness and it would cost less than 7,000 or 8,000 yuan.
But to be on the safe side, he still asked.
Qin Churan shook her head. This was not her latest model of iPhone.
Since the owner denied it, the police returned the phone to Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang held his cell phone and looked at Wang Peipei.
Now, only Wang Peipei's place has not been searched.
But the two policemen no longer had to search in person. When Wang Peipei saw that Jiang Jiang took out the new mobile phone she had bought yesterday from her pocket, her heart sank.
Since Jiang Jiang had his own cell phone in his pocket, what was in her pocket?
Wang Peipei unconsciously touched the phone in her pocket and felt it was heavy.
Did I really take the wrong phone?
But she remembered that she took Jiang Jiang's cell phone last night.
"Student, can you please take out the things in your pocket and let me see them?" The older policeman spoke in a gentle but unquestionable tone.
Several school leaders also looked at Wang Peipei. At this point in this dormitory theft farce, the suspect had been cleared of suspicion, and the person who reported the case became the most suspicious.
"I, I, the cell phone in this pocket is my own." Wang Peipei clutched her trouser pocket tightly and explained stutteringly.
"It's your own cell phone, just take it out and have a look." One of the school leaders obviously saw something.
"Chu Ran..."
This is a nasty thing.
As soon as Qin Churan heard it, he knew that his cell phone had been taken away by Wang Peipei, and it seemed that she didn't know anything.
In order to make a big thing small and a small matter nothing, Qin Churan looked at Wang Peipei, the ungrateful bastard, with hatred, and forced a smile to explain to the police and school leaders.
"Oh, I slept too late yesterday and forgot to lend my phone to Pepe. I'm so sorry. I wasted police resources and made the teachers worry."
Qin Churan took all the responsibility on herself. She was the owner of the lost item, so the worst that could happen was that she would be criticized and educated.
If she didn't know when the cell phone got into Jiang Jiang's closet, she would probably never be able to clear herself of the crime even if she jumped into the Yellow River, and would only be charged with the crime of being a thief.
"It turns out that some people are not only dogs, but also like to be ungrateful."
Several girls who were hiding outside the door and eavesdropping in the corner laughed out loud when they heard Jiang Jiang's words.
Why didn’t they realize before that Jiang Jiang was so sharp-tongued?
Wang Peipei's face turned pale and blue, but she didn't say a word.
The theft case was eventually left unresolved. The police criticized and educated Qin Churan and Wang Peipei and then left.
The school leaders obviously figured out something and gave Wang Peipei a demerit. At least she has no hope of being evaluated for excellence this year or being admitted to graduate school in the future.
Despite this, the news that Wang Peipei was a thief and had dirty hands had spread.
It takes skill to steal something and bring the police to justice.
Although Wang Peipei tried hard to explain, almost no one would listen.
Everyone believed what they saw. The police came and the school imposed punishment. It was only because Qin Churan was a good person that Wang Peipei would have been taken to the police station long ago, otherwise.
After this incident, Jiang Jiang concealed his achievements and fame, and Qin Churan also gained a reputation as a kind-hearted person.
But sometimes, being too kind means you are easy to be bullied.
