Chapter 142 32: Straw
After spending the night in a daze, she finally cheered up a little the next day.
She has always been good at mediating her emotions.
She has been like this since she was a child.
You can even get up early to make cookies.
Hirosue gave her a pack of dried cranberries before, and she also promised to make cookies. Don't forget your friend's promise. Even if you are in a bad mood, just thinking that this is what a friend eats can make you happy. Divided spirit.
Added the remaining honey, worked for a while, and finally drove out the cookies before going to school.
Packed it in a cardboard box that she had bought in a convenience store before. She patted her face in the mirror, took a deep breath, and welcomed the new day.
On the streets, although the typhoon has not officially arrived, the temperature is already cooler than yesterday.
The wet wind blew the skirts, causing the girls in short skirts to exclaim and pay close attention.
On the way, Bai Jing kept forcing himself not to think about what happened yesterday, and then thinking about the future, whether he should apply for the legal profession.
Unfortunately, there are not many people around her who can give her advice, and she doesn’t want to trouble Guangmo because of herself.
I came to school at about the same time as usual.
It’s just today, why did Hirosue arrive so early?
And it was rare for her to stand next to other people, silent and not knowing what she was thinking.
No, there should be many people gathered around a male classmate who looked depressed. He was the chairman of the class and also a deviation student.
Hirosue saw Shirai, glanced at the schoolbag in her hand, and gave a girl a wink.
The girl received the wink and coughed twice: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. We all believe in Taniguchi-san's character and believe that he will not make mistakes for the tens of thousands of yen remaining. However, since it is Missing in class, the monitor is broken again, so we can only use stupid methods. Please open your schoolbags and check them one by one."
"Oh, it's so troublesome!"
"Isn't it just tens of thousands of yen? We can just make up for it. If the worst happens, I'll pay for it."
"That's right."
"Everyone." Hirosue Ryōmiya spoke, and calmly glanced at everyone.
They all shut their mouths.
“Although the money lost this time is not much, theft cannot be tolerated. If we don’t care, it will only encourage the other party’s arrogance, and more valuable things may be lost next time. Searching the bag is just helpless. Please forgive me for this."
As soon as she spoke, the others looked at each other, and those who had objected just now turned to agree.
"Yes! Hirosue-san is right, we can't tolerate it."
"Just search, with a clear conscience."
"Start with me first."
"It's been a night, maybe everything is hidden"
Taniguchi glanced at Hirosue gratefully: "I, I made a very small mark on the banknote, you can see it, Right here——"
Hirosue stopped him: "Tell us quietly, we will pay attention when we check."
She named a few people, followed Taniguchi to the corner, and listened to his explanation of the location of the marks.
The inspection started, very roughly, only the schoolbags and pockets were checked. Basically, any thief with some brains would not be found out, except
"Hirosue-san, these are the biscuits I made. I’ve added the cranberries you gave me last time. Do you want to try them first?”
Shirai didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem and still had time to hand over the freshly made ones to Hirosue who was inspecting her. biscuit.
Hirosue looked at the cookies for a while, closed his eyes, opened them again, looked at her with complicated eyes, then opened her wallet on the table, took out a few bills, and looked at them.
"Taniguchi-san, come and see if this is the mark you are talking about."
She turned her head and said.
Shirai's smile froze, and his hands holding the cookies hung in the air.
Taniguchi was stunned for a moment, then came over, took the banknotes, took a look at them, and then turned them over carefully to look at them a few more times. Finally, his mouth opened unconsciously and he looked at Shirai blankly: "It's you?"
Hirosue's cold voice reminded: "So, is this the money you lost?"
Taniguchi swallowed and nodded: "Yes, yes, the horizontal line in the lower right corner The lines were drawn by me with a pencil, and they are exactly the same."
Hirosue looked at Shirai with emotionless eyes: "Shirai-san, what do you have to say?"
A lightning flashed outside the window. Cut down.
What followed was a dull rumbling sound.
It was like a bombardment in Shirai’s soul that was riddled with holes.
“This is me.”
When the last straw fell, the camel was speechless.
"Guangmo, it's not me. It's really not me. This money didn't belong to me yesterday." Two lines of clear tears fell unconsciously, and she defended weakly.
Hirosue lowered his head, took out all the marked money from his wallet, and handed it to Taniguchi: "Taniguchi-san, check to see if there is any."
Taniguchi looked at Shirai and then at Hirosue. At the end, he nodded twice as if there were thorns on his back: "Yes, that's all."
"Now that the money has been found, it is not a glorious thing after all, and it will also affect our reputation if we tell it. Can you please ask Taniguchi not to call the police or inform the teacher? I am willing to fully fund Taniguchi’s future college expenses on behalf of Kakin Group. The whole class can testify that the money has been returned.”
, Taniguchi, who had no intention of pursuing it further, listened to the echoes around him and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, for the sake of the collective, I will not pursue it. Thank you, Hirosue-san."
Finished After these things, Hirosue Yoshimiya looked at Shirai, who was like a sculpture, stretched out his hand, and pushed back the cookie in her hand.
"That's it, Shirai-san."
Hirosue's tone and eyes seemed to be telling of disappointment.
People's eyes are like the sun, but she is a piece of ice. Under the scorching heat, even her tears will evaporate.
Shirai fell down on the chair, like a puppet, as if his body no longer belonged to him. He was a puppet master behind the scenes, trying to pull different threads in a hurry.
But in vain.
Class, get out of class, lunch break.
Until the bell ended, she slowly packed up her things and walked out of the classroom step by step.
"Shirai-san."
"Shirai-san?"
Kondo called her several times, but she seemed to be unable to hear anything, and her eyes were horribly empty. , like an empty shell, has lost its soul.
The two passed by each other, Kondo frowned, his expression gloomy, he waited for a while and then blocked a student from Hirosue's class.
"What happened in your class today?"
"Ah no, it's nothing."
"Huh? Don't force me to do it."
"Goodbye Kondo-san, I said."
After listening to what the other party said, Kondo had already formed a clue in his mind.
"You are ten thousand times more despicable than I thought"
No evidence is needed, she knows that this must be Hirosue Yoshimiya's method, the only thing that is unclear is her I wonder what Hirosue can gain from it.
Let this passerby go. Instead of looking for Hirosue, she turned around and tried to catch up with Shirai.
Kondo is a little worried about her condition.
