Chapter 03 The mysteriously stolen painting 2
A quirk?
I raised my lips and wanted to laugh, but for some reason I couldn't laugh.
Whether this person did it intentionally or unintentionally, at least he guessed correctly that Wei Jimo had an unknown quirk.
However, I simply don't believe that the famous paintings in the exhibition hall were stolen by Wei Jimo.
After leaving the old street of the old city yesterday, Wei Jimu seemed to be worried and a little distraught.
Worried that something might happen to him, I followed him secretly.
This damn guy usually drives a Mercedes or a BMW when he goes out, but last night he was like he was possessed by a ghost. Not only was he reluctant to take a taxi, he was even reluctant to take the bus.
I followed him all the way from the north to the south of the city, until I saw him enter the gate of the Wei family. Only then did I drag my legs that felt like they were filled with lead, exhausted, and took a taxi back to my home.
If I hadn't been so exhausted yesterday, how could I have slept till dawn and not even heard the alarm clock in the morning?
When I think of this, I feel so angry that my teeth are itching - damn Wei Fox, one day I will settle this account with you!
But...it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening and the school gate had been closed for a long time. It was impossible for Wei Jimu to go back to the school, let alone steal any famous paintings.
Since the thief is not Wei Jimo, who else could it be?
I touched my chin, and the detective cells in my mind began to stir - the key to the calligraphy and painting club's showroom was a special anti-theft key, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could copy. Moreover, the anti-theft door of the showroom was equipped with an advanced anti-theft system. Since the door of the showroom was not damaged at all, it meant that there was indeed something wrong with the key in Wei Jimo's hand.
But it is not certain whether the key was stolen after yesterday noon.
My clever detective mind guessed that the key might have been stolen long ago and a copy made.
This person was able to steal the key without anyone noticing, and after copying it, he returned it to Wei Jimo without being discovered, which shows that he must be very familiar with Wei Jimo.
It’s just that Wei Jimo always puts on an approachable and “people-friendly” image on weekdays and has always had a good relationship with everyone.
At least, that's what it looks like on the surface.
Therefore, it is not easy to find out the real culprit in a short period of time.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" I was lost in thought when I suddenly felt someone bump into me lightly.
When I turned around, I saw that it was Lin Lan, a girl from our school newspaper.
"Are you trying to think of a way to embarrass someone? Remember to count me in."
Lin Lan and I have a good relationship and she knows my true feelings towards Wei Jimo. Most importantly, she doesn't like the perfect and obedient type like Wei Jimo, but the rebellious and uninhibited type like Xiao Luonan.
Because she knew that Xiao Luonan and I had a good relationship, she kept looking for opportunities to get close to me.
Unfortunately, I know that Xiao Luonan has never been interested in women, and I have no interest in being a matchmaker.
So from the moment she showed that sign, I righteously refused her request to set her up with someone else.
If it were any other time, I would have been eager to "collude with her", ah, or "share what we have", and take this opportunity to exaggerate and plan a big news that would shock the campus. But at this moment, looking at the eager look in her eyes, I don't know why, I couldn't muster any interest at all.
"He didn't do this." I said in a low voice.
It was very noisy around me, which made me feel upset. I pushed through the crowd and walked towards the classroom.
"So what if he didn't do it?" Lin Lan held me, with a bit of surprise in her eyes. I seemed to see the doubt and questioning in her eyes.
"Nothing is certain, everything is possible. Besides, aren't we looking for novelty, gossip and sensation? What's wrong with you? How could you leave such good material unused? When did you become so soft-hearted? This is not like your style."
"How could I!" My cheeks felt hot and I lacked the confidence to refute.
"You're still saying no? Look at your eyes, you're evasive and you don't even dare to look me in the face." Lin Lan was like a shrewd person, and she hit the nail on the head at once , "Could it be that something happened to you recently that I don't know about?"
"They all said there was nothing left." My heart moved slightly, and a figure flashed through my mind quickly. Then I rolled my eyes at Lin Lan and said with great momentum, "Do I look like the kind of person who would kick someone when he's down? Don't worry, if it was really Wei Jimo who did it, I will definitely bring him to ruin."
"But why were you so sure just now? How do you know that Wei Jimo didn't do this?" Obviously, this girl Lin Lan is not as easy to fool as that idiot Mu Xiyue.
"Intuition, understand?" I raised my index finger and waved it in front of Lin Lan, with an unfathomable attitude that showed that you were new to the industry and lacked experience. "This is the sixth sense of being a journalist, understand?"
After patting Lin Lan on the shoulder, I turned around calmly and walked forward with big strides as if escaping.
"So that's how it is." Lin Lan followed me like a ghost, and her words were shocking. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were like those crazy fans and fell in love with Wei Jimo!"
I stumbled and my heart started beating wildly for some reason.
"Lin Lan, when did you start telling such a joke? It's not funny at all, okay?"
Are you kidding me! I would fall in love with that Wei Fox?
Unless the world ends.
