Xie Xiu looked at Zhang Shan deeply and asked with a half-smile, "Do you care whether I lost anything?"
Zhang Shan was panicking in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said, "After all, you are a famous person in our Imperial College. That thief even stole my mirror, so he will definitely not let Brother Keji go.
Brother Keji, you'd better check it out quickly. If you really lost something important, it would be terrible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people followed suit to persuade him.
Xie Xiu glanced at these people calmly, then said calmly: "You are right. Although I don't have anything important in my bag of books, I can't be careless."
After saying that, he opened his book bag and took a look.
At this time, others also started to check.
Then they screamed one after another—
"My mirror is gone too!"
"Not only did I lose my mirror, I also lost a jade pendant!"
“I lost a draft!”
"Could there be a thief infiltrating the Imperial College? Who on earth is so bold as to steal something from the Imperial College?"
The people who lost their things were filled with indignation.
Although the others didn't lose anything, they were all very uneasy just thinking that there were thieves sneaking into the Imperial College.
They were lucky this time and didn't lose anything, but that might not be the case next time!
The thief must be found as soon as possible!
Then someone shouted angrily: "Call the police! We must catch that thief!"
Zhang Shan was delighted; this was what he had been waiting for, so he suggested, "We should indeed report this to the authorities, but I suggest that before we do, we should first pour out the contents of our book bag to prove our innocence.
I believe that no one among us would steal anything. I am just afraid that someone will frame us. If we report it directly to the authorities, it may lead to a wrongful conviction.
So I suggest that everyone take turns emptying the contents of their school bags.
I think this request is not too much. After all, we are sure that we have a clear conscience and are not afraid of others looking into the contents of our books."
At this point, he suddenly looked at Xie Xiu and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Brother Keji would be willing to take the lead? You are the oldest among us, so you are the most suitable person to take the lead."
As soon as these words came out, the people who had lost their things couldn't help but look at Xie Xiu. Then, perhaps feeling that this was not a good idea and fearing that Xie Xiu would misunderstand, they hurriedly explained: "Brother Keji, we don't doubt you!"
After saying that, the man poured out the contents of his book bag first and said, “Why don’t I go first? I’m going to throw out a lucky plaque.
My mother went to the temple to get it for me, but since I don't like these things about gods and ghosts, she put it in her school bag, and now it's gone."
When the others who had lost things heard this, they also poured out what was in their school bags and took the lead in proving themselves.
Zhang Shan's eyes lit up and he looked at Xie Xiu. He couldn't wait to urge Xie Xiu to pour out the contents of the school bag, but he was afraid that it would be too obvious, so he decided to do it first.
As long as he poured it out first and then let Xie Xiu prove his innocence, it would naturally not arouse suspicion. But as soon as he picked up the bag to pour it out, he saw a "crash" sound, and Xie Xiu actually poured out the contents of his bag first, and...
Zhang Shan stared at the things Xie Xiu poured out, his face full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "This is impossible!"
"What do you mean this is impossible?" Xie Xiu looked at him suspiciously. "Could it be that you think there's something else in my bag?"
Zhang Shan then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends: "No, no, no, of course I didn't mean that. I just... I just..."
He stared at the pile of things intently, and suddenly an idea struck him. He said quickly, "I was just too surprised. Brother Keji's glass brush seems to be missing."
"It's indeed missing. I think it was stolen by a thief."
Xie Xiu frowned and said to Zhang Shan, "It's a good thing you took the initiative to propose this method of having someone prove their innocence. This way, everyone can be free from suspicion."
He was speaking words of gratitude, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Shan. He smiled faintly and reminded him, "You should also quickly prove it. Once everyone has proven themselves, it will be easier to report it to the police."
