This is interesting. When someone finds out that they have lost something, they will not check themselves carefully before confirming that they have lost something.

But if you checked, why didn't you find this pair of pants? You said earlier that you put it in there accidentally..."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Shan hurriedly defended himself: "I also have a pair of pants like this. I thought it was that pair. I didn't expect that someone had framed me!"

Xie Xiu knew that there would be no conclusion to the argument because Zhang Shan’s reason this time was indeed reasonable.

So he said, "I heard that many people in the Imperial College have lost their personal belongings recently.

Now that this pair of pants appears in your school bag, it is an important clue.

Why don't you let everyone go to your place and take a look, maybe the things they lost are there."

When Zhang Shan heard this, his expression instantly became even uglier.

He also guessed this possibility, so in order to avoid being blamed, he immediately asked angrily: "Xie Xiu, you still say you are not framing me?

If you didn't do it, how could you think the things were with me? Did you deliberately let someone steal the things and hide them with me, so that you can put the blame on me?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. His face turned purple and his eyes widened as if they would burst out of their sockets at any moment.

Xie Xiu was very calm, not at all nervous or frightened by being framed and questioned. Instead, he laughed sarcastically, "Anyone who's not stupid can easily come to such a conclusion. Can't you do the same?

If something appears in your school bag, there are only two possibilities: either you are the thief, or you are being framed.

If you are a thief, the lost things will naturally be hidden in your residence.

After all, these are personal belongings. The thief must have a special hobby and it is impossible for him to hide these things somewhere and leave them alone.

If you were framed, the other party would naturally hide the remaining items in your residence.

It's such a simple truth, there's no way you couldn't understand it. So why are you so panicked?

Earlier, when you discovered that everyone had lost something, you took the initiative to suggest that everyone empty the contents of their school bags to prove your innocence.

Now that you have guessed that our lost things are hidden in your place, why don't you let us go look for them?

If you are really framed, after the things are found, the officials will naturally find out the truth and clear your name.

So what are you afraid of? You can't be feeling guilty, right?

"I... I didn't..." Zhang Shan broke out in cold sweat all over his body, even on his face.

He didn't dare to wipe it off, for fear that his action would become evidence for Xie Xiu to accuse him of being guilty.

He eagerly defended himself, "This is the first time I've encountered such an incredible thing, so I'm inevitably a little frightened.

You are right. I don't need to be afraid. The police will definitely find out the truth and clear my name."

Xie Xiu said calmly, "In that case, you'll lead the way. Regardless of whether or not it was stolen by you, as long as we can find it, it's a good thing."

Zhang Shan glanced around and clearly found that many people were showing impatience.

Sure enough, before he could even open his mouth, those people started urging him on.

"Zhang Shan, if you really didn't do it, why don't you just move faster? What's the point of dawdling like this?"

"We all want to believe in your innocence, but if you continue like this, we will have to doubt you."

These people either despised or threatened Zhang Shan, forcing him into a difficult position and he had no choice but to take them to his own residence, also called Shishe.

On the way, they met Li Jijiu and several teachers. Seeing that they were such a large group, Li Jijiu immediately frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

A student who had lost his pants immediately said excitedly: "A ruthless thief has appeared in the Imperial College. The stolen goods he stole are likely hidden in Zhang Shan's dormitory, so we have to go and find the stolen goods!"
