Sitting together in an Internet cafe was also a memory of Xia Xu's youth. Originally, he was very interested in trying it again, but when he saw that Tang Hao was among the people invited by Ma Bing, he immediately twitched his face and decisively refused.
He and Tang Hao are both supporting characters in "Hunter". To him, this guy is no different from the God of Plague now.
The name "Hunter" does not have the feel of a light-hearted comedy at all. Whether the plot is about real hunting of wild animals or a battle of wits between police and gangsters, being involved as a supporting role may not end well.
"Okay then, let's go first."
Ma Bing just called out casually to call his friends. Hearing Xia Xu's refusal, he didn't force him and soon left happily with a few others.
Xia Xu also packed his things and picked up his schoolbag to go home. However, before leaving, he glanced at Tang Youxin from the corner of his eye and found that she had no intention of packing her things and going home. Instead, she kept rummaging around her seat for something.
"What's wrong? Lost something?"
Xia Xu frowned and walked over.
"I...I seem to have lost my wallet."
Hearing Xia Xu's voice, Tang Youxin finally raised her head. Her expression was full of panic, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. It looked like she was crying silently just now. Her pitiful look was really heartbreaking.
"Did you lose your wallet? Have you looked around for it? Or did you take it out and drop it somewhere?"
Xia Xu asked with a frown.
"No, I have been reading in my seat in the afternoon. I have not gone out except to go to the toilet twice, but I have searched all the drawers of my schoolbag."
Tang Youxin seemed to have found her backbone at this moment. She no longer shed tears and just answered aggrievedly.
She does not leave the classroom very often. If there are no friends asking her to go out, it is better to rest in her seat for ten minutes during the class break. Being introverted, she basically reads books and solves problems after class or rests on her stomach for a while.
"Then it looks like it was stolen."
Xia Xu's face turned cold.
"Then...what should we do?"
Tang Youxin clenched the hem of her clothes with both hands, her fair and tender knuckles turning pale from the exertion.
In fact, it was not that she had never thought about this possibility, but she was not willing to accept the worst outcome, and her character did not allow her to catch people around her and ask if they had stolen anything from her.
"What else can I do? Of course I have to look for it."
Xia Xu shrugged, then went directly to the back door of the classroom and closed the door behind him.
"Damn, Xia Xu, what are you doing? Didn't you see that we were about to go out?"
At this time, everyone was rushing out like arrows to return home. Those who had not left after Xia Xu closed the door immediately gave up.
"Sorry for the slight delay, Tang Youxin's wallet is missing..."
Xia Xu spoke up to explain, but was interrupted only halfway through his words.
"What do you mean, after hearing what you said, you still doubt that we stole it? Do you still want to search us?"
Those who didn't leave became even more angry when they heard Xia Xu's words.
"Yes, that's what it means. I advise someone to hand it over voluntarily, otherwise it won't be as simple as returning it when I find you. More than three thousand yuan can already establish a large-scale theft case. Don't force me to call the police.
Let you sit down."
Xia Xu nodded without any stage fright, his tone was calm as if he was just stating the facts, and he was looking at the people in the classroom one by one as he spoke.
It is impossible to let people leave. There is no surveillance in the classroom now. If someone steals something and leaves, he will die without proof. Moreover, if this kind of thing happens in a school, there is a high probability that it will not be resolved.
"Haha, you are so awesome, you even found out and called the police to have someone put you in jail."
"Xia Xu, you want to pretend that we understand in front of the girls, but you can just go to the teacher for this matter. Don't stop us from having fun."
"Let's go, let's just go through the front door."
There were harsh words, there were people with better connections who offered kind words, and there were also people who turned to the front door disapprovingly, only to be blocked by Xia Xu.
"Well, let's make a bet. Give me three minutes to look for it. If you don't find it, I'll apologize to you and buy everyone a drink."
"Don't worry, I'm just recognizing people and won't search your things."
Benefits are always the best persuasive bargaining chip, even if this is a relatively pure school, everyone looked a little better after hearing the benefits.
Seeing that everyone had acquiesced and did not leave, Xia Xu didn't waste any time and looked at each one of them.
Of course, when I say I'm looking at it, I'm actually looking at the properties panel.
Although about 10 or 20 people had left one after another before, there were still more than 20 people left, which was still a bit of a workload.
However, Xia Xu has a certain focus and priority when checking.
Tang Youxin's family background is not a secret. People in the class know everything about it. If they want to steal something, they usually won't look for her. The reason why people target her wallet is obviously because of the stipend given to her today.
But Liu Xiulan didn't make any big announcement when she distributed the bursary. She quietly called Tang Youxin to the office to give it to her. The only ones who really knew that Tang Youxin had received the bursary or that she had a lot of money were actually him and Tang Youxin who stayed in the classroom when she paid back the money in the afternoon.
Those people.
Because he didn't pay special attention, Xia Xu wasn't very clear about who was present at that time, but with his attribute checking ability to verify each other, he could still find some clues.
"Should you take it out yourself now or should I search it myself?"
Soon, Xia Xu's eyes fell on a short, thin boy with glasses, and he walked over with a sneer.
This man's name is Zhuo Ren, and he is still his 'near neighbor' in other words. The seat is on his right, but because there is an aisle in the middle, he is not considered a table mate.
"What do you mean? Do you think I stole it? Where is the evidence?"
When Zhuo Ren saw Xia Xu, who was nearly half a head taller than him, approaching in a menacing manner, and because he was already feeling a little guilty, he immediately panicked. He tried to remain calm but his expression was fierce.
"Evidence? Do you want me to call the police now and you go tell them the evidence?"
Xia Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense and snatched Zhuo Ren's backpack directly.
After all, he has a one-star fighting talent, and his physical fitness is naturally much better than that of ordinary people of his age. Zhuo Ren, who is short and thin, has no ability to fight back, and his schoolbag is taken away directly.
After a few rummagings, a worn and peeling black wallet was pulled out from the bottom of the schoolbag that was packed with books.
Tang Youxin has not changed this wallet for a long time, and people in the class have not seen her take it out before, so it can be considered a real deal now.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that Zhuo Ren stole it. Xia Xu is so amazing."
"Damn it, look at this kid's sly look. His hands and feet are indeed dirty. No wonder I always lose things."
"I lost my mobile phone before. Could it be that he stole it too?"
At this moment, everyone focused their strange eyes on Zhuo Ren, who also turned red and ran away.
Xia Xu didn't stop him. After all, the current situation was already causing social death, so there was really no need to continue to go to the police station.
But just because he let it go doesn't mean others will.
"Stop! Tell me clearly, kid, did you steal my cell phone?"
There were still a few who had lost things and chased after them, while the rest just talked about it, or just left after seeing the matter was over.
Of course, some people were more interested in the other protagonist of the incident who stayed at the scene. Several people who had some friendship with Xia Xu happily came to Xia Xu's side.
"Hey, Xia Xu, how did you know that Zhuo Ren stole the wallet?"
"That's right, damn it, you're already as good as a Shinigami elementary school student."
"Honestly, did you see Zhuo Ren stealing it a long time ago or did you really guess it through deduction? Can you also teach me how to do it?"
