Tang Tang understood and held back from speaking.
Zuo Mu stepped forward and asked, "Did you see any suspicious people this morning?"
Teacher Zhao seemed to be lost in thought. She thought carefully for a while and then shook her head. "No, no. Our place is in a remote location. Even if someone comes, it's usually a group. We were all there for most of the morning. Except for you two, I didn't see anyone else."
The kids started to chatter.
"That's right, that's right."
"No one else."
"Really. We were playing outside all the time."
One of the kids seemed to have let something slip.
"Yeah, yeah. When Xiaoyu and the others opened their schoolbags, they were really shocked. Even we were angry."
"Teacher, who on earth is it? We must find out the bad guy soon."
In the world of kids, there are no complicated schemes. They simply thought it was just a prank. Little did they know that a shadow had already loomed over the orphanage.
Adults may lie, but it's not easy for kids to tell lies.
Tang Tang took the opportunity to look at Huzi and gave him an inquiring look.
Huzi seemed to understand and nodded, indicating that what everyone said was true.
Tang Tang trusted Huzi very much.
Naturally, she believed what everyone said. But who on earth was it?
The matter was getting more and more mysterious.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Teacher Wang tried hard to maintain order. However, at this moment, everyone was immersed in the fun and thrilling prank, thinking it was just a joke.
No one listened to the teacher.
"Everyone, please go back to your seats, okay? Leave this kind of thing to me. Big brother here is a detective." Zuo Mu changed his strategy and started to play the mysterious detective card.
Sure enough, this idea attracted the attention of most of the kids.
At this age, they worship superheroes and detectives the most.
This was naturally thanks to a certain animated series that was still ongoing, about a detective who looked like a kid and solved cases with a bow - tie and sneakers.
This cartoon character had added a mysterious and exciting touch to the job of a detective.
The kids naturally bought into this.
In order to get closer to the detective, some of the kids were about to walk towards this big detective.
Zuo Mu didn't expect that his publicity would have the opposite effect. He was stunned on the spot. Tang Tang watched clearly from the side. In this tense atmosphere, she even thought this scene was a bit funny.
"Listen to the teacher!" Zuo Mu was in a complete mess as he tried to stop the kids from approaching.
"Ah!!!"
A scream broke the balance.
At this moment, no matter how attractive a person was, no one cared to look. Everyone turned their attention to the screaming boy.
It was none other than Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu, one of the parties involved, was a bit excited when he saw his note.
Because there were very few people coming to this place. A really interesting sister came yesterday. She gave them candies and made them laugh. Such opportunities were really rare.
Xiaoyu had been wondering if he would see their beloved candy sister the next day. Unexpectedly, she really came. According to Huzi, she even came with her boyfriend?
But when he suddenly came to his senses, he felt that something was wrong with his note.
At that time, Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously. He thought that as a small kid, no one would have any malice towards him. There must be nothing serious.
However, when they all came to their senses, Xiaoyu stopped screaming.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" Just now everyone was talking over each other, but now their attention was drawn back by the kid's scream.
The most nervous ones were those who knew the inside story. Zuo Mu and Tang Tang were two of them, and Teacher Wang was another.
Teacher Wang anxiously asked about Xiaoyu's situation.
Xiaoyu looked like he had just watched a magic show. He pointed at the card on the table and shouted crazily, "Teacher, I clearly saw the number on this paper change color. But when I looked again, it seemed unchanged?"
This really piqued the kids' curiosity. They all surrounded Xiaoyu.
"No!"
The first kid who went over looked at the paper, shook his head and said in a childish voice, full of disappointment, thinking it was a magic show.
"There's nothing at all!"
"Humph, I thought it was a magic show."
"Don't lie, okay?"
Xiaoyu was on the verge of tears. He tried hard to explain, "It's true. I really saw it just now."
"Don't worry. We won't think any less of you because of this."
Xiaoyu felt even worse.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Mu stepped in at this moment. He was usually very low - key and seemed to have little presence. But when something happened and everyone's attention was on him, his amazing ability to draw attention showed.
Almost everyone's eyes were on him.
Zuo Mu was calm and confident. He picked up the paper, looked at it carefully, and then carefully smelled the paper.
Xiaoyu stared blankly at this good - looking big brother's actions, wondering if anyone would believe him.
Would this big brother believe him?
Zuo Mu examined the note repeatedly, paying attention to the reactions of the people around him from time to time.
Then, just when everyone was waiting for him to draw a conclusion, he said confidently, "It is indeed the case. Maybe everyone's attention was on the numbers, but did you notice one thing? Why is the position of the numbers and the size of the paper exactly the same?"
It was obvious that the person who made this paper might have obsessive - compulsive disorder.
"But at this time, who would do such a boring thing?" Teacher Zhao also asked eagerly.
This really made Zuo Mu think twice.
If he told all the information he had now without being certain of anything, not only would he tip off the enemy, but if it stimulated the other party to act faster, it would be even more difficult.
Because no one was more innocent than a kid of a few years old.
"I can't come up with any substantial evidence for now, but one thing is for sure. Xiaoyu is not lying."
Zuo Mu said these words within the limits of what was possible. Even Tang Tang was quite touched.
Zuo Mu, who was so considerate and thoughtful, was really the coolest.
"Okay, okay. Everyone, stop arguing." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, some of the impatient kids even started to argue among themselves.
Some believed in seeing is believing. Since they didn't see it themselves, they wouldn't believe others. Some believed in the friend brought by the candy sister.
Kids' biases were so blatant.
Teacher Wang quickly stopped the kids from making more noise. She advised them gently.
"We should focus on our own business." Teacher Wang said, "No matter what, this is our adults' business now. Don't worry, teacher will definitely give you an explanation."
