Chapter 8 — On Le

Teacher Co looked at him: "These are drafts that were discarded three years ago. The person who can get them is not among the students." The hallway immediately fell silent. Teacher Co turned to me. "On Le, tell me who touched your bag today?" Lam Nhuoc Duong took a half step behind Luc Hoai Can. Before I could speak, Luc Hoai Can said: "Teacher, before the matter is investigated clearly, don't imply that students are biting each other." Teacher Co looked at him: "What's your name?" "Luc Hoai Can." "First place?" Teacher Co handed the paper back. “Then you should know, wrong questions cannot be considered the answer.” Luc Hoai Can's face turned white. Teacher Chu tried to defend: "Teacher Co, even if the question is fake, it still proves that On Le hid the documents." Teacher Co asked: "Are you sure you want to conclude like that?" Teacher Chu said: "According to the regulations." Teacher Co nodded. "Then extract the camera." Lam Nhuoc Duong suddenly said: "No need, everyone is tired." Hua Kieu smiled coldly: "A moment ago, weren't you still crying a lot?" Teacher Khau looked towards the end of the hallway: "The people from the monitoring room have arrived." Lam Nhuoc Duong's hand slowly let go of Luc Hoai Can's sleeve. Luc Hoai Can realized and turned his head to look at her. She avoided his eyes. Surveillance video was broadcast in a small conference room on the first floor. The image is not too clear, but it can be seen that after self-study in the evening, Lam Nhuoc Duong walked alone into the dormitory hallway and stood in front of my room door for a full two minutes. In her hand she held a folded piece of paper. Hua Kieu stood next to me, almost hitting the table: "See!" Lam Nhuoc Duong cried and shook her head: "I was just passing by. That piece of paper is my scratch paper, not that piece of paper." Teacher Chu immediately said: "The camera angle is not clear, we can't prove that she put the thing in." Teacher Co asked the manager: "Is there an inside angle?" The manager said: "There is no dorm room door inside." Lam Nhuoc Duong seemed to hold a lifeline: "I really won't go in." Luc Hoai Can looked at the image, his face even darker than before. He asked her: "What are you doing in front of On Le's room?" Lam Nhuoc Duong choked up: "I want to find her and apologize, but I don't dare knock on the door." Hua Kieu scolded: "You even brought fake papers when you went to apologize?" Teacher Chu slapped the table: “Hua Kieu!” I looked at Lam Nhuoc Duong in the video. When standing in front of my room, she raised her right hand, moving very quickly. The camera cannot record below the door opening. Master Co said: "This evidence is not enough." Lam Nhuoc Duong immediately cried even more heartbroken. Luc Hoai Can breathed a sigh of relief but did not help her anymore. Teacher Chu said: "Since we cannot prove that Nhuoc Duong placed us in, we cannot prove that On Le is innocent. To be fair, both On Le and Lam Nhuoc Duong will temporarily stop taking the test tomorrow." Lam Nhuoc Duong suddenly raised his head: "Teacher, am I also suspended?" Teacher Chu was confused: "That's the fairest." Hua Kieu laughed: "You also know how to be afraid." Lam Nhuoc Duong's face immediately turned red: "Hua Kieu, don't be too much." Hua Kieu crossed her arms: "I'm too much? You stood in front of someone else's room for two minutes, and the next day there was another fake question paper in that person's bag. Tell me, is it a coincidence?" Teacher Chu put down the glass of water firmly: "If you don't have direct evidence, don't talk nonsense." Teacher Co stared at the video and told the manager to rewind it. In the video, Lam Nhuoc Duong's hand raising was too fast, it looked like he was just adjusting his sleeve. He asked: "On Le, what did you put in front of your door that day?" I said: "An old cardboard box, inside is the late-night snack dad brought me." The manager immediately said: "At the other end of the hallway there is a camera angle facing the trash can, you can film the carton." Lam Nhuoc Duong's crying stopped for a moment. Teacher Chu quickly interrupted: "What can a box of paper prove? Don't let a small contradiction arise."

between students and make a big deal out of it." Master Co looked at him: "Master Chu, are you investigating the truth now or are you preventing the truth?" No one in the meeting room answered. Manage video changes. The cardboard box in front of my room's door was only half exposed. When Lam Nhuoc Duong stood up, her toes kicked the cardboard box a little closer to the door. She bent over, pulled something out of her sleeve, and stuffed it between the cardboard box and the door crack. Hua Kieu slapped the table: "Isn't that enough?" Lam Nhuoc Duong stepped back: "No, I left the apology letter." I asked: "Where is the letter?" Her lips moved: "Someone else might take it away." Hua Kieu laughed even more harshly: "Does your apology letter look like a fake one?" Luc Hoai Can didn't say anything, he still stared at the screen. I have been looking at this face for half a year, and for the first time I feel completely unfamiliar. Teacher Chu looked solemn: "Lin Nhuoc Duong, what did you order?" Lam Nhuoc Duong's tears fell again: "It's really a book." I'm afraid On Le always misunderstands me and wants to make peace with her." Teacher Co asked: "Now write a letter, write it for me to see." She raised her head: "What?" "You said you wrote an apology letter, you probably still remember the content." Teacher Co pushed his paper and pen over. “Write.” Lam Nhuoc Duong held the pen and for a long time could only write the two words Wen Le. Teacher Chu panicked: "Teacher Co, she was frightened. What you did was to force a confession."
