Chapter 35 Misleading
"Luo Chuan, we've finished counting."
The students had finished counting and reported to Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan walked out of the textbook area, met up with the five students, and took the list from their hands.
"I've finished taking inventory here too." Luo Chuan held the list in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly as if he were thinking about something. "There's something not quite right. Once Lin Shuangshuang brings over the warehouse supplies information list, we can compare it and find out exactly what the thief took."
A student nearby asked, puzzled:
"Didn't the letter say that only one book was stolen? Why do you need to inventory the entire warehouse? The only place where books are stored is the textbook section."
Luo Chuan's heart tightened, and just as he was about to speak, another student next to him slapped the man on the back of the head.
"Fool, how can you believe what the enemy says?"
The one who was slapped scratched the back of his head and retaliated with a slap of his own.
"If the stolen books might be fake, then the letter might also be entirely fake, right? Why did we even come to the warehouse?"
Upon hearing this, several students nearby also began to ponder the matter thoughtfully.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the other people's faces, Luo Chuan was almost sweating profusely. Fortunately, he had already confirmed the "book theft" incident.
Otherwise, if this group digs deeper in this direction, there's a real possibility they might uncover something. Speaking of which, weren't these five people supposed to be idiots? They miscalculated.
Fang Zhou, holding Xiao Yue, chuckled to himself. It seemed these students weren't stupid after all; it was just a pity that Luo Chuan had gotten there first.
Otherwise, once they come to their senses and start investigating from that letter, there's a possibility that Luo Chuan could be caught.
Just as Luo Chuan was about to interrupt their train of thought, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the warehouse, growing louder as they approached.
Lin Shuangshuang ran in, clutching a booklet, her high ponytail swinging behind her. She was still breathless, her face beaming with excitement.
"Luo Chuan, I've obtained the warehouse information list."
The students were interrupted by the sound and turned to look at the door in unison.
Luo Chuan took the booklet handed to him by Lin Shuangshuang, slowly flipped through it, and then picked up the list they had taken inventory of, pretending to compare it item by item.
After a while, Luo Chuan pretended to have finished the comparison and spoke to everyone.
"There is indeed one book missing, it seems to be a math textbook."
Lin Shuangshuang finally caught her breath, crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and her face was full of smugness.
"That's not the point. I've obtained a very crucial clue."
Cold sweat beaded on Luo Chuan's forehead. His mind raced. Had she discovered that someone had seen the letter I delivered? Impossible. There couldn't be anything wrong with my actions.
"Hey, Luo Chuan, why are you sweating so much?"
Lin Shuangshuang tilted her head and looked at Luo Chuan's forehead covered in sweat, somewhat puzzled.
"It might be because the warehouse is a bit hot."
Luo Chuan expressionlessly wiped his forehead, already considering his escape route. But first, he needed to find out exactly where the problem lay.
"What clue did you find?"
The warehouse is clearly marked with a constant temperature array, so the temperature remains the same all year round. How could it be hot?
However, Lin Shuangshuang didn't intend to expose him. It's normal for men to be embarrassed to say they're physically weak.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Luo Chuan held a deeper meaning, while Luo Chuan's muscles involuntarily tensed, ready to flee at any moment.
"The warehouse manager said that a batch of supplies was delivered to the warehouse this morning."
Lin Shuangshuang finally spoke up and revealed the clues she had obtained.
"However, after the instructors checked, they found that the quantity of this batch of supplies was significantly less than usual."
Luo Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had been discovered when I delivered the letter, but it turned out to be just a false alarm.
At this time, the students who had been sent out by Luo Chuan to investigate other clues also returned to the warehouse one after another.
"I see."
Luo Chuan first nodded to Lin Shuangshuang, then looked at the other students.
"Everyone, please share the clues you've found."
Passerby A spoke first: "The people on duty said that no suspicious students have entered or left the school in the past two days, but this morning, it seems that another group of students escorted a batch of supplies to the school warehouse."
The others also reported the clues they had found, which were all fragmented pieces of information and nothing unusual.
The only thing related to the warehouse was what the passerby mentioned: this morning, another group of trainees escorted a batch of supplies in.
"What do you think, Director?"
Luo Chuan turned around and threw the question at Fang Zhou, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
Fang Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then he understood. Did he want me to lead them to think in the wrong direction?
He suddenly felt a little happy, finally he had some gaming experience.
Fang Zhou held Xiao Yue, pretended to ponder for a while, and then slowly spoke:
"In that case, I'll give you a hint: who were the people who went into the warehouse this morning?"
Lin Shuangshuang seemed to have figured it out, and let out a soft "ah," attracting the attention of the other students.
"I've figured it out!" Lin Shuangshuang's eyes lit up.
"No wonder the instructor said the supplies were much less than before. The trainees in the management team must have sabotaged them."
Passerby A was a bit confused: "What does this have to do with us? Our group and the other group don't interfere with each other."
Lin Shuangshuang crossed her arms over her chest, puffed out her rather ample bosom, and slightly raised her pretty face.
"Hmph, you don't understand. It must be that the criminals on our side colluded with the corrupt officials on their side, which is why the criminals were able to easily infiltrate the warehouse."
"Amazing wisdom," Fang Zhou thought to himself, admiring Luo Chuan's associative abilities. "It's a pity the criminal is a bit cunning." Fang Zhou then looked at Luo Chuan.
At this moment, Luo Chuan was silently watching the others discuss when he saw Fang Zhou looking at him, and he silently nodded to him.
Seeing that everyone's thoughts had drifted in another direction, Luo Chuan knew that the time was ripe.
He cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to him:
"It seems everyone has identified suspects. Now, let's go to the other group and see if we can find any clues about the culprit from them."
"good!"
Lin Shuangshuang immediately interrupted, waving her hand and taking over the command from Luo Chuan.
"Everyone, split up and see who can catch the criminal first!"
Fang Zhou glanced at the sky and thoughtfully reminded the students:
"It's already noon. No matter how fun the game is, don't forget to eat. Even though you don't have much time left, you can't skip meals."
Fang Zhou looked at these teenagers. Although he wasn't much older than them, as their mentor today, he had to fulfill his duties.
After listening to Fang Zhou's words, the students looked at each other hesitantly, but in the end, Luo Chuan stepped forward and made the decision:
"Since the instructor has spoken, let's go eat first. After eating, we'll go our separate ways and meet at the training ground in the afternoon."
Luo Chuan nodded to Fang Zhou and led the way out of the school.
Since classes only lasted half a day, the school did not have a canteen.
Lin Shuangshuang stamped her foot in frustration, but didn't argue with Luo Chuan. After hesitating for a while, she went to eat with the others.
Fang Zhou looked at the students who had scattered and nodded in satisfaction. "We've stalled for a little longer. This game is our victory."
So, I was either a referee or a player. I only intended to stand aside and give pointers, but how did I end up joining the game without even realizing it?
Fang Zhou fell into deep thought.
