Chapter 267: Planting Blame
Although Downton had last visited St. George's School three years ago, he had an excellent memory that allowed him to easily find the seminary's dormitory.
Although the school had already closed for the summer vacation last week, most of the students did not leave the school.
In addition to the students who attend cram schools, some have formed an adventure group, and they have to take advantage of the holidays to go to the adventure guild to get some tasks, which can not only sharpen their actual combat skills, but also earn a small amount of money.
"I'm sorry, excuse me, can you help me call Elaine in Room 608?" Downton knocked on the glass of the mailroom and explained to the building manager, "I'm her brother." ”
When a few girls who happened to be passing by heard this, they couldn't help but look at Downton, Elaine was very famous, which led to a lot of attention.
"You wait here!" the aunt called out to the two girls who happened to be passing by and asked them to call someone.
“xiexie!”
Downton thanked the girl and the aunt, and then waited quietly in front of the door, his expression looked flat, in fact, he was about to die of embarrassment, he would rather fight with a hundred ogres than be stared at by a group of girls.
"Wow, Elaine her brother is so handsome, no wonder she always talks about him. ”
"I heard that he was a postman, and Elaine's tuition was earned back by him. ”
"It's a pity, it's not my dish, no matter how good-looking it is, it's not a demon, it's a commoner, the future is doomed to be bleak, I don't want to live in the countryside for the rest of my life. ”
The girls gossip, there will be a small comparison in their psychology, the two most outstanding girls among the students, except for Hannah is Elaine, the former is the princess of the Principality of Porto, they can't compare, but Elaine is different, she is just a country girl.
You can look down on Elaine's brother from above. For some girls, there is also some self-satisfaction.
"Elaine has gone to work, and she will come back very late, so you might as well come to her tomorrow. "The girl brought back bad news.
"Where did she work?" Downton frowned, the school closed at eight o'clock in the evening, and it was not the students of the school who had to leave. Otherwise, the guards on duty will be forcibly expelled.
"I don't know. The girl shook her head.
"You're looking for Elaine?" a young schoolboy ran over and accosted Downton with a flattering smile, "I know where she is, I'll take you." ”
"You are?"
"Elaine's suitor. Shaarawy greeted Downton affectionately, he felt that his acting skills were very good, and he vividly interpreted the image of a flattering brother.
"If I don't delay your time, I'll bother you. Downton thanked him.
"You're so polite. Shaarawi said a lot, and it all revolved around Elaine, and he pulled Downton to the boys' downstairs. Showing an embarrassed expression, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the bag." ”
Without waiting for Downton to answer, Shaarawy spoke again, "Forget it, let's go up together, I'll introduce you to a few friends, if they know that you are Elaine's brother." It's going to freak out. ”
Downton was about to refuse, but Shaarawy was too enthusiastic. Like a child who is keen on pranks, Downton has a request after all, so he can only helplessly follow up.
"Look, the fish has been hooked!" Watching Downton enter the dormitory building, a girl excitedly tugged at Elena's arm.
"I saw it. "Elena, that is, the girl with the melon seed face. was staring at Downton's back, sneering disdainfully, "I thought Elaine admired how powerful the person was, but it turned out to be a fool." ”
"Come on, who would have thought that someone who had never met before would fix him!" said Stefan, the son of the Earl. is also a heavyweight in this circle, so he has no scruples about speaking.
"Do you feel sorry for Elaine?" said Elena, sneering.
"Hmph, just kidding, I'm afraid that proud girl can't see anyone except her brother, but she even refused the invitation of the second prince. Stefan spat out, "Since you're going to fix him, let's make it bigger and put him in prison for a while." ”
Stefan was embarrassed by the rejection of his confession to Elaine, so he walked to the dormitory, "Don't you want to see his embarrassment?"
"Come in and sit, don't wait outside, see more!"
In front of the dormitory at the end of the corridor on the third floor, Shaarawy invited Downton, and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
"No, it's a nice view. Downton pretended to look at the view downstairs, and politely declined Shaarawy, he was not familiar with people, and would never rush into other people's dormitories.
Shaarawy tried to persuade him three times, and even went to Downton, but he couldn't succeed, so he knew that this was a cautious and polite guy, and that Elena's plan was afraid that there would be a loophole.
"Whatever, there are no witnesses anyway, as long as he takes a sip, he must have done it, and he will drink this basin of sewage. Shaarawy no longer insisted, anyway, not to kill Downton, just let him hang the title of thief, and then make Elaine embarrassed.
Having made up his mind, Shaarawy entered the dormitory, closed the door open, and then made an OK gesture to his friend Mari, and then entered the balcony, he glanced at the door, and after making sure that no one was peeping, he opened the window and jumped in.
Downton waited for three minutes, and didn't hear any words inside, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, but he still didn't mean to enter the door.
"Wait another five minutes, and if he doesn't come out, I'll take my leave. Downton had just made up his mind when the door to the room Shaarawy had entered suddenly opened, and a boy's roar rang out.
"Catch the thief, I've lost my purse. ”
Bang! Bang!
The sound of doors opening and footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the students who stayed in the dormitory rushed out, subconsciously watching, and then their eyes fell on Downton.
"Who are you?"
An upperclassman questioned Downton, and if he saw a stranger in the hallway, he would interrogate anyone else.
"I'm waiting for Vincent!"
Downton sensed that something was wrong, and he did not mention Elaine's name again, for fear of discrediting his sister.
"What Vinson, we don't have this person here!" the students looked unkind and gathered around, and some even went back to the dormitory to get weapons.
"It's the one who just went in. Downton felt that he had been calculated, but he remained calm, and the more nervous and nervous he was, the more unable he was to explain it.
The students looked at the shouting Mali.
"There's no one, I'm the only one in the dormitory!" Mali looked puzzled and depressed, "I went to the toilet and came out to take the money bag to eat, only to find that it was lost." ”
Mari is also an acting master, I didn't say that Downton did it, but his eyes kept on him, and he kept giving everyone a hint that this guy was a thief nine times out of ten.
"I haven't been in your room, and I haven't seen any money bags. Downton explained, he took a tentative step, and sure enough, the students' expressions changed, blocking the way, apparently afraid that he would escape.
"Who can prove it to you?" asked Mali, "judging by your dress and accent, you must be a commoner from the West, right? I have more than a hundred gold coins in my purse, enough for your family of three to live in abundance for two months!"
"Pay attention to your tone. Downton was annoyed, he was not a fool, how could he not hear Mali's accusations and contempt.
"How can you talk? A suspect dares to be so arrogant, I think you stole it. "There are students who are fighting for Mali.
"This kind of habitual thief is very hard-mouthed, and if you don't interrogate, you will never be honest. ”
The students were gossiping, and some ugly words kept floating out, thinking that they were messengers of justice.
"I'll say it again, I didn't go into that dormitory at all, and I didn't see any money bags!" Downton tried his best to suppress his temper, if he hadn't been worried about getting Elaine in trouble, he would have beaten people up a long time ago, "You go to that Vincent, he did all this, by the way, the aunt in charge of the girls' dormitory should know him." ”
"Lock him up first, and a few of you go and ask the aunt in charge. "A prefect stepped up and it was his responsibility to deal with the matter.
"This boy is very strong, what if he runs away? "Mali proposed.
Naturally, the students were looking for their classmates, and someone immediately went to get the ropes.
"Don't go too far. Downton's brow furrowed enough to kill a sea crab, and it would be a stain on their lives if they were to tie themselves up.
Not to mention that now that he has the Great Ancient Magic Book and is worth more than 100 million, it is the era when he used to be a postman, and with Downton's proud character, he would rather be beaten to death than suffer this humiliation.
"If you are so uncooperative, you must have a loss in your heart. "Mali continues to stir up.
There were also a few people who spoke for Downton, but the number was too small after all, and they didn't want to offend a classmate for the sake of a stranger, so the voices quickly disappeared, and they all agreed to Downton.
"It's too rude to kidnap someone, it's better to search your body, it's simple, and it's clear at a glance. Stefan appeared, assuming the posture of a good old man, "People are poor, and they don't necessarily have no ambitions! Maybe it's a misunderstanding." ”
"I'll search!" Mali was in a hurry, completely like a bitter master who had lost his money bag, and he moved so much that he pushed directly on Downton's chest, "Go, stand against the wall." ”
It wasn't a big deal, and Downton didn't want to waste time here, so he was ready to comply.
"Hurry up, stand against the wall. Mali pushed Downton, his mouth was not clean, "By the way, what if he hides the gold coin in a chrysanthemum?"
"Then take off your clothes and check it!" a student replied casually, and then a group of people cheered up.
Downton's face turned red all at once, and there was an indescribable anger brewing.
"Don't be noisy, be quiet. The prefect scolded, then turned to Downton, "Don't worry, I won't take off your clothes, just search your body, and you can leave after that's fine." ”
"Hmph, I want to leave, let's dream!" Stefan snorted, "I can't vent the hatred in my heart if I don't throw you in prison." ”
The prefect was well-intentioned, but he had no idea that someone was manipulating this matter behind it. (To be continued......)
