Chapter 21: Fingerprints (2)
After Xiang Hui spent a few days uneasily, the news of the theft of the electric classroom came out and reached the ears of parents. Many parents felt that the school's approach was inappropriate, and some radical parents were so angry that the school treated their children as suspects and called the principal's office. As for how the school communicates with parents, the students do not know. In conclusion, the investigation is still ongoing. Since the police went to the school to take the fingerprints of the students, everyone also understood that the school personnel were responsible. As a result, there was a lot of discussion on campus again. Everyone is speculating about who is so bold and steals to the school. The scenes of several students being arrested during last semester's crackdown are still vivid, and some students have begun to imagine who will be taken away by the police this time.
There was a lot of talk on campus, and some of the boys thought that it was not just the boys' fingerprints that should be fingerprinted, but also the girls. Why only suspect boys? You must know that there were also women who were sentenced at the last sentencing meeting. The girls scoffed at this. Some bored boys and girls began a war of words. Of course, such arguments are only made by students in private, and they dare not really be presumptuous in front of teachers.
Later, students who had close ties with neighboring schools got the news that not only No. 5 Middle School, but also other schools had stolen teaching equipment. Because there have been thefts in several schools, the Public Security Bureau will take great pains to investigate.
A few days later, something happened in the fifth middle school that made everyone fall through their glasses. That is, Shi Jingming was called to the political and religious office. It is clear to everyone that students will not be praised when they go to the Office of Political and Educational Affairs. Commendations to students are made publicly after the flag-raising ceremony on Monday. There is only one possibility to go there, and that is if the head of the political and educational department talks to you, and this conversation is definitely not a good thing. In the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school, Shi Jingming is definitely a first-class good student. Whoever was called to the political and religious office could not have been him.
It's incredible.
Everyone remembered the "after-listening essay incident" last semester. Everyone guessed that it wouldn't be so long, and they would call him for ideological education again.
This happens a few days after the fingerprints are taken, and everyone naturally thinks of the theft. Soon, everyone overturned this association, because not to mention the students, even the teachers didn't believe it. Not to mention interacting with people outside the school, even in school, except for Ansu, Jingming hardly has any close contact with anyone. Although he kept his distance from everyone, he was gentle and polite to everyone. This exam, always the first student in his grade, his behavior can be called a role model for students. Therefore, he was called to the political and religious office, which was really unexpected by everyone. Not to mention the students, even the teachers are in disbelief.
Jingming stayed in the political and religious office for a long time before coming out, and returned to the class as usual, and his expression was not abnormal. But the eyes of everyone looking at him were full of inquiry. What happened to him when he went to the Church?
Ansu, like everyone else, wants to know what happened to Jingming. finally stayed up until the end of school, and she intercepted Jingming at the door of the teaching building.
In order not to get in everyone's way, the two came to the big tree where they stood with Xiang Hui last time.
Ansu didn't want anyone else to know what was going on, so she used sign language to ask him what was going on. Why was he called to the Church and Politics Department?
Jingming smiled slightly, gesturing to tell her not to worry, just asking him to ask a few questions.
Ansu wondered, how to ask a few questions, why did it take so long.
Jingming said that they didn't know sign language, and he had to use the way he wrote, so the speed was relatively slow.
Although Ansu didn't believe it, she asked him if it had anything to do with the theft of the electric classroom.
Jingming nodded.
An Su felt uneasy in his heart, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he asked him if someone from the Public Security Bureau was also present.
Jingming nodded again.
"How can it have anything to do with you?" Ansu didn't believe it even when he was killed.
Jingming gestured: "They said that the physical evidence found had my fingerprints on them. ”
An Su's eyes widened, "Physical evidence? What physical evidence? ”
"A broken screwdriver."
"I've never seen you touch a screwdriver. Besides, where did you find the screwdriver? How can there be your fingerprints on it? ”
"The screwdriver was found in a trash can near the electric classroom. There's my fingerprint on it because I did touch the screwdriver. ”
Ansu was dumbfounded, how is this possible? She couldn't hold her breath and began to get impatient. "Tell me what's going on?"
Jingming continued to compare unhurriedly: "That morning, I was meditating on the grass near the electric classroom, and as soon as I sat down, I was pricked by something, and when I touched my hand, I found that it was a broken screwdriver. I was worried that it would hurt people again, so I picked it up and threw it in the trash. That's the way it is. ”
No matter what Jingming says, Ansu will always believe it unconditionally. But just because she believes doesn't mean others will believe it. She was still not at ease, and continued to ask: "Do the people from the Public Security Bureau believe it?" ”
Jingming nodded, "Believe it!" Because I was in the dormitory on the night of the crime, the dormitory teacher should be able to testify. ”
Ansu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two have been gesturing under the tree, and their passing classmates have all cast puzzled glances at them, including Xiang Hui and Peng Dongjun. The two have not spoken since they separated outside the school building that day. At this moment, An Su didn't care about him, she only cared about Jingming. This made Xiang Hui's heart angry, although he didn't believe that the theft was related to Jingming, but he still couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words. Xiang Hui's attitude annoyed An Su, so he simply ignored him. In this way, the two did not give each other a good look when they met. Peng Dongjun, who was watching on the side, couldn't help but sigh.
Although the principal and students of the school did not believe that Jingming had anything to do with the theft, he did not clear the suspicion. As for the fingerprints on the broken screwdriver, Jingming's explanation was reluctantly accepted by the Public Security Bureau, but the evidence of his alibi was insufficient. Because it was the weekend, and all the students in the dormitory with Jingming had gone home, no one could prove that he had been in the dormitory all night. Although the dormitory teacher can prove that Jingming did enter the dormitory building with the dormitory door locked, he cannot prove that Jingming did not go out again in the middle of the night. Because although the dormitory building is locked, the wall is easy for a boy to climb out. However, although Jingming is suspicious, there is no other evidence to prove that he participated in the crime.
For the students of No. 5 Middle School, this matter passed quickly. Whether it's fingerprinting or being called to the political and educational office, compared to the crackdown last semester, losing two TVs is really not a big deal. As for whether it was done by the students on campus, the Public Security Bureau is only guessing, after all, no one has been taken away by the police. Whether the case was solved in the end, An Su does not know. only knew that before she left No. 5 Middle School, this case was closed. But no one thought that this inconclusive theft case would have a great impact on Jingming later.
