Chapter 154: Occupy the commanding heights of public opinion
In the duty room at the school gate, Wen Xin greeted the two security guards with a smile.
"Uncle Sun, Uncle Li, hello. I have something to trouble you with. Can you remember approximately what time I entered the school this afternoon?"
"It's just a short while, less than an hour, right?" Uncle Sun thought for a moment.
Uncle Li answered, "It's about half past three. Look, we haven't finished the yogurt you bought for us yet."
Everyone looked over and saw two yogurt bottles on the table in the duty room.
Wen Xin had become very familiar with the security guards during his four years at university. Occasionally, he would return to Jinshu Huayuan quite late, and the guards were very accommodating.
Wen Xin thanked the two guards and turned to walk towards the school administration building.
"Wen Xin, you really are not in the dormitory... I'm sorry." Wang Fang's face flushed and she began to apologize stutteringly.
"Sorry is useless. The damage has already been done. No matter how many times you say sorry, those wounds will not disappear."
Wen Xin snorted coldly and walked faster.
I hate people who hurt others casually and then apologize casually.
If you stab someone with a knife and then apologize, will the wound heal itself and the original pain disappear?
......
School Security Department.
The two staff members carefully recorded the situations they described. The reason they reported the case was that some boys entered the girls' dormitory and did bad things.
The officer asked about the whereabouts of the three of them.
"Student Wen Xin, you can prove that you entered the school gate at 3:30, but can you prove what time you left the school gate?" the female clerk looked at Wen Xin and asked.
Wen Xin took out the passbook from his schoolbag, covering other parts and leaving only the processing time column exposed.
"Teacher, look, this is the business I went to the bank to handle today. Is the date correct?"
Seeing the two clerks nodded, Wen Xin put the passbook away.
"Then let me analyze the time. I was in school all morning today, and I had lunch with Wang Manning at noon. In the afternoon, Wang Manning and I separated at about two o'clock."
Wang Manning nodded in confirmation.
"It takes about 20 minutes to ride a bike from the Literature and History Building to this bank outside the school."
"From 2 o'clock to 3:30, there is an hour and a half in between. Minus the 40 minutes of travel time, there are still 50 minutes left."
"I went to the bank today to handle a wire transfer. I don't know if you are familiar with this, but it definitely takes more than half an hour from queuing up to completing the process. If you have any objections, we can go to the bank to collect evidence."
"I had to go up and down the stairs, buy yogurt, and greet the security guard while delivering yogurt. You see, the one and a half hour schedule was packed, and I didn't have time to sneak back to the dormitory to commit the crime."
The clerk wrote down her words carefully, his face full of appreciation as he wrote.
"Student Wen Xin, you are very rational."
Wen Xin's lips curled up slightly: "Teacher, I have no choice. If I encounter such a disgusting thing, I will be wrongly accused to death if I am not organized."
Wang Fang next to him wished she could find a hole to crawl into, and Zhang Rong's face was also flushed.
The two officers then followed them to the dormitory to check.
It was dinner time, and the dormitory was busy. Seeing such a large group of people, everyone came to join in the fun. Wen Xin took the opportunity to quietly spread the news.
With the intention of making meritorious deeds to atone for her sins, Wang Fang promoted the work most vigorously.
"Oh my god, running into someone's bed and doing this, it's so disgusting."
"Fortunately, he was able to prove his innocence, otherwise he would have been wrongly accused and died."
"Who on earth did this?"
"There are four people in a dormitory, and three are here, so that must be the fourth person."
"In their dormitory... ah? Could it be He Tian..."
Wen Xin frowned, turned back and said softly:
"Students, don't make random statements without evidence. Take me for example. I was scolded badly at the beginning, but didn't that prove my innocence? You can't rely on guesswork for this kind of thing. It's not good to wrongly accuse someone."
Everyone fell silent and looked at the gentle and generous Wen Xin with admiration.
The female clerk looked at Wen Xin with even more admiration.
"That's very well said. Wen Xin is a victim but still so rational and generous. It's rare and worth learning. Everyone, go away now. Remember not to believe or spread rumors."
The crowd dispersed and the three of them closed the door.
Wen Xin was busy folding the sheets and towels on the bed, then rolled up the mattress and pillow, and walked out of the dormitory with them in his arms.
Many dormitory doors were open, and a bunch of curious people came out to ask her what she was doing.
"Throw all of this away. I'm a germaphobe, and the thought of someone doing that on top of it makes me sick. Alas, it's a pity that the bed can't be changed."
"Sisters, be sure to watch your bed. It's disgusting to meet such a person."
The huge publicity along the way only reinforced his tragic experience.
In those days when there was no Internet, public opinion was spread by word of mouth, so she had to quickly occupy the commanding heights of public opinion.
She must control public opinion, otherwise she will easily become the center of the vortex.
Wen Xin went out and stuffed the mattress, pillows and sheets into two trash cans respectively. The clean and tidy mattress, pillows and sheets stood tall on the trash cans.
Because it is neatly stacked, it is particularly eye-catching.
People passing by looked at him sideways and heard some pure gossip.
Oh my God, how pitiful, he has forced Wen Xin into this state, and even threw away all the nice bedding.
......
Wen Xin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and returned to the dormitory in a happy mood.
"Xinxin, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to tell Manning, but Senior Sister Wang came over..."
Zhang Rong looked at Wen Xin busying around and felt a little restless.
Wen Xin smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, it's not your fault. It's normal to panic when encountering such a thing."
Moreover, even if she told Wang Manning secretly, the news would spread sooner or later.
"Xinxin, I think she was most likely the one who did this, and no one else has the key to our dormitory. Why were you speaking for her just now?" Wang Manning gritted her teeth.
Everyone knows that this "she" refers to He Tian.
He Tian was admitted by Y University. She has a boyfriend from the same hometown who is a second-year graduate student in the Foreign Languages Department. They are now very much in love.
Wen Xin defended He Tian today. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to further clarify himself, and on the other hand, he also made a gesture to prevent He Tian from biting back in the future.
Besides, the more she defends He Tian, the more kind and beautiful her image will be. Public opinion will sympathize with her more, and when the truth comes out, He Tian will suffer more backlash.
Wow, this should be considered Kung Fu tea art, a direct step towards becoming a tea art master.
Wen Xin looked at Zhang Rong, and she had the same attitude in her eyes.
"Manning, Zhang Rong, don't jump to conclusions. If we say this too early, it will be easy for others to find fault with us and say that we have no evidence."
Wang Manning still felt depressed: "Then how can we catch this person?"
Wen Xin looked at her angrily and laughed out loud:
"Well, it's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. We have handed this matter over to the security department now, and the rest is up to them."
"It's a good thing that they can find out. If they can't, public opinion won't let the bad guys off. Let's just wait and see what happens."
