According to what Hu Pingtao said before, it is best to hand this matter over to the police station or the college security department.

When at home, Su Zhiheng was a little hesitant.

Hu Biyuan made the final decision at that time: "I think Xiao Duan was confused for a moment, so let's not do anything wrong. Nineteen years old is when you have the most ideas. Young people will inevitably make mistakes, as long as they are willing to admit their mistakes and get back on the right path.

.Don't beat people to death with a stick, just like the old man said: punish those who are in trouble, treat the sick and save others. As long as she is willing to change and is sincere in her attitude... let's give her a chance!"

Duan Zhiqing froze again.

Her lips parted, and the anger in her heart was extinguished instantly. She thought that everything was over, so she didn't care about venting unscrupulously. But in the end, she found that things were not what she imagined, and she immediately felt unprecedented guilt and then deep regret.

.

"Uncle Su...I..." She lowered her head, her voice trembling, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Su Zhiheng.

Su Zhiheng looked at her with complicated eyes. For a long time, he sighed: "I have discussed it with your sister (Hu Biyuan). In the past few years you have been studying at the School of Information, we have paid for the tuition, but you have to work-study and earn your own living expenses."

.”

He also figured out that giving blindly will only lead to the expansion of the mentality of getting something for nothing. This is the same as the antelopes on the grassland running fast and the sheep running slow in the pasture. Only under pressure can one have a stronger ability to survive. Life

He died of sorrow and happiness.

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "You have to write a letter of repentance. Don't worry, this is not evidence we use to control or manipulate you. Emotionally speaking, my sister and brother-in-law take good care of you, but it does not mean that

Indulging you. When you graduate, enter the society, and settle down in life, they will naturally return the letter of repentance to you."

Duan Zhiqing nodded silently.

Hu Pingtao showed his police officer ID card. This clearly showed that the Su family and his wife were willing to let him go. If they could not find their way back, they would really jump into the abyss of darkness.

She stood up from the chair and bowed to Su Zhiheng and Hu Pingtao respectively: "...Thank you!"

There was no madness in her heart, and her hatred and anger disappeared without a trace in an instant. Duan Zhiqing felt as if her body had been drained, with no strength or energy to think about all kinds of messy things. What she did before was like a joke, and she relied on it.

And everything you value is so ridiculous in the eyes of others.

This may be the so-called "epiphany"!

Hu Pingtao lowered his head and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, go back! If anyone in the dormitory asks, just say it's my brother-in-law who has something to do with you."

Su Zhiheng had visited Duan Zhiqing before, and all the girls in the dormitory knew him.

Duan Zhiqing agreed in a low voice, her heart was bitter, her steps were heavy, and she could hardly step forward.

She felt like she couldn't sleep tonight.

…

After leaving the office, Hu Pingtao and Su Zhiheng went down the stairs and came outside.

It's half past eleven, and the dormitory building will soon be closed and lights out.

The two were walking forward when they suddenly heard the shout of "Teacher Su" coming from behind.

Turning around, he saw it was Chen Ruoyu.

She was wearing a down jacket and hurriedly came downstairs.

Hu Pingtao and Su Zhiheng looked at each other and stopped in unison.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?" Su Zhiheng had been to the dormitory before and was familiar with Chen Ruoyu.

Chen Ruoyu stood still in front of the two people, hesitating to speak. After thinking for a while, he turned his eyes to Hu Pingtao and asked: "If I guess correctly, you should not be a teacher in the dormitory management department?"

Hu Pingtao was surprised and asked with a smile: "Why do you think so?"

Chen Ruoyu smiled mischievously and said: "The dormitory management teacher will not look around in the dormitory and open the cabinet. In addition, Teacher Yang Hongyang never said your name, and did not even tell us your last name... In short, I don't think you are

Like people from the dormitory management department.”

Hu Pingtao shrugged: "Okay, you are very smart."

Chen Ruoyu looked at him and said with a smile, "What's your last name?"

Hu Pingtao smacked his lips: "Why do you want to know this? You must have a reasonable reason."

"I can't let you, you, keep shouting!" Chen Ruoyu suddenly flashed his eyes: "This is a very good reason."

Hu Pingtao felt at a loss for words: "...Okay, you win...my name is Hu Pingtao."

"Surnamed Hu?" Chen Ruoyu opened his eyes wide: "This surname is really rare."

It was too late, and Hu Pingtao was unwilling to have a long conversation with the little girl, so he asked directly: "What do you want to see us for?"

Chen Ruoyu was not hypocritical: "Teacher Su is a relative of Duan Zhiqing. The reason why you came to the dormitory today is because of the theft of Li Wenling's cosmetics last time, right?"

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to block Su Zhiheng who was about to speak, and looked at Chen Ruoyu with slightly focused eyes: "You seem to know something?"

Chen Ruoyu said frankly: "Duan Zhiqing stole the things and she put them in my box."

Her words once again surprised Hu Pingtao and Su Zhiheng. The latter couldn't bear it any longer. In extreme surprise, he blurted out: "How do you know?"

Chen Ruoyu looked at Su Zhiheng, and then quickly moved his eyes to Hu Pingtao's face: "You called Duan Zhiqing out just now. Although she came back without saying anything, I think... you should know more than me."

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "Tell me what you know!"

"Actually, when Li Wenling received the express delivery that day and tore open the package and took out the Estee Lauder set, Duan Zhiqing began to hatch a plan. Although I didn't know her before, this person is very scheming and has a very good brain. There are four people in the dormitory,

Her conditions are the worst... Well, please clarify! I don't mean to despise her, I'm just discussing the matter."

"I have seen many poor people, and my father is also poor. He used to do small business, making a few cents of profit from needles and threads, and accumulated family property little by little. My father sold blood when he was the poorest, and I was not born yet. My father

In order to make a living, I went to the south to purchase goods, and in order to save a few dollars in fares, I ate steamed buns and drank tap water, and I just rode a bicycle to complete the more than 2,000 kilometers of road."

"I'm going too far... Li Wenling was shopping for clothes that night. I happened to pass by. She was trying on sizes and didn't see me. She bought a pair of gray trousers and a black top. The store was diagonally opposite the school.

It's a student business, and things are not expensive. I felt at that time

It's strange: Duan Zhiqing usually likes to dress up. Although she doesn't have much money, she still has to choose even cheap clothes carefully. She pays great attention to color and style. She usually wears mainly light colors, pink, white, or

Blue ones, I’ve never seen her wearing black ones.”

"I felt strange at the time. I wanted to go into the store and ask, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Later, Duan Zhiqing returned to the dormitory with the clothes and stuffed them directly into the cabinet without opening the bag."

"You are not girls, and you don't know our usual habits in the dormitory. If anyone buys new clothes, they will show them to everyone, and share snacks and so on. In fact, Duan Zhiqing is a nice person with a cheerful personality. She usually buys them

Although the clothes are cheap, they are not tacky and feel very sunny.”

"When she left the dormitory to go to class the next day, I saw her bringing the bag with clothes. At that time, I thought she bought it for someone else. After all, she didn't say anything the night before. When get out of class was over, she followed me When I went to the library, I found that the bag was still on her. I wanted to ask her several times what was going on, but in the end I didn't open my mouth."

"Wait!" Hu Pingtao interrupted Chen Ruoyu, looking very puzzled: "Why do you keep staring at Duan Zhiqing and her clothes?"

"It's quite complicated to talk about." Chen Ruoyu smiled and said: "There are three schools in the School of Information, and the tuition is very expensive. When the school first started, the counselor collected information about poor students among us, and those who needed it filled out the aid application form.

Although this information is not disclosed to the public, there is no airtight wall in the world. We all know who has filled out the form in the class, and Duan Zhiqing is one of them."

"Zhang Hongyan holds a position in the student union of the department. She asked us not to spread the news, but to take more care of Duan Zhiqing. When we usually eat, we will eat one or two more meat dishes, and then we will say that we are losing weight and put this

Distribute dishes to segments

Zhiqing. Sometimes we go out to make money, and we have to pay for it. She has never been asked to pay, especially Li Wenling. She has always said that she likes to eat fried potato chips, so she asked Duan Zhiqing to bring her some when she returns to her hometown during the holidays.

Meal expenses in disguise.”

"Duan Zhiqing knows that we take good care of her, and in recognition of this, she always rushes to do the cleaning in the dormitory."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "So, you two have a pretty good relationship."

"Yes!" Chen Ruoyu felt a little disappointed: "But I didn't expect that she would do such a thing... I usually like to read mystery novels, but when she was buying clothes that day, I felt something was wrong. The next day in the book

She was in the library and halfway through reading, she said she wanted to go to the bathroom. Because she was going to the bathroom in the morning.

When she went out, she said she was on her period and brought an extra set of clothes with her. Zhang Hongyan and Li Wenling didn't think there was anything unusual, but Duan Zhiqing never liked gray and black clothes... I saw her taking that bag to the bathroom.

After much thought, I felt that she must be hiding something from me."

"I paid attention to the time. She came and went for twenty-seven minutes, almost half an hour."

"When I returned to the dormitory at noon, Li Wenling's Estee Lauder set was nowhere to be found."

Hu Pingtao looked at Chen Ruoyu: "So you doubt Duan Zhiqing?"

"It's not suspicion, it's certainty." Chen Ruoyu twitched his nose that was red from the cold and said seriously: "There are surveillance cameras inside and outside this dormitory building, mainly in the corridors and doors. Li Wenling's Estee Lauder packaging box is very big

, just take it in your hand and take it out, no need to check at all, everyone will know that it was you."

Hu Pingtao felt that things were becoming more and more interesting: "You can take it out after unpacking it, and you can also destroy evidence."

Chen Ruoyu shook his head: "If it were someone else, he might do this. But Duan Zhiqing won't."

"Why?" Hu Pingtao asked curiously.

"She loves face." Chen Ruoyu said frankly: "Cosmetics, especially brand products like Estee Lauder, the packaging is like a sign. I don't know if she stole Li Wenling's set of cosmetics for her own use, or if she planned to sell them. In short

She wouldn't unpack it no matter what."

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Then what do you think of the set of clothes she bought?"

"Disguise!" Chen Ruoyu said in a steady tone: "I didn't understand why she brought her clothes to class, and then followed me to the library. Later I realized that she was using the excuse of "having her period" to change clothes in the bathroom. This way

First, whether you leave the library or return to the dormitory, you will be a different person in the surveillance video, and no evidence will be left."

Hu Pingtao and Su Zhiheng looked at each other and saw the surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.
