Chapter 2039: Chapter 2039: Reluctant to Return (6)
Ten thousand yuan is missing, that’s not a small amount.The school probably didn’t intend for it to become such a big deal, but somehow the news leaked, and now the whole school is likely aware.
Chuzheng’s mind flashed to those three boys she encountered earlier...
No way?
But the behavior of those three at the time seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
How am I supposed to clear my name?
This is troublesome!
Chuzheng never expected that instead of finding the three boys, the investigation would turn back on her.
During the second self-study period, Chuzheng was called to the office.
In the office were only her class teacher, the principal, Teacher Lin who was responsible for the money, and the director of education.
The other teachers weren’t there, likely sent away.
"Student Hang, we’ve called you here because we have a few questions..." The speaker was the principal, kindly looking and speaking in a friendly tone.
"Please, ask."
The principal asked gently, "Did you happen to go near the new teaching building this afternoon?"
"...Let’s say I did."
When she was coming back, the path and the new teaching building were connected, but she could only be considered as passing by, right?
"Did you see a somewhat large kraft paper file bag?" The principal gestured, smiling warmly in reassurance, encouraging her not to be afraid.
"No, I didn’t."
Chuzheng stood there calmly, neither arrogant nor timid, and the few teachers couldn’t detect anything unusual.
"Student Hang, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to the teachers and me, we can find a way to solve them together..."
"I didn’t take the money."
The principal’s expression paused slightly.
They were also afraid of wrongly accusing a student, hurting the student’s feelings, so they didn’t dare to ask directly.
Chuzheng being so straightforward actually made it easier for them to ask questions.
The principal cleared his throat, "But someone said they saw you taking the ten thousand yuan."
Chuzheng looked up, meeting the principal’s gaze, "Who said it? Jiang Jing?"
Today she only gave ten thousand yuan to the drama club, and the only person with a conflict with her in the drama club was Jiang Jing.
"Uh..."
It was indeed Jiang Jing who said it.
They had already asked the drama club members to confirm that Chuzheng did indeed bring the money there.
Chuzheng: "May I ask when did the teacher’s money go missing?"
Teacher Lin said, "Around six o’clock." The last time she confirmed the money was there was at five fifty-something, at the time she received a phone call and saw the time.
