Chapter 10 Framed
"Body search." Lai Huaguang sneered, his eyes fixed on He Shu. He Shu knew that this was another trouble.
He Shu looked at the class teacher and said, "Yesterday when I returned to the dormitory, I found that my towel had been cut into pieces by someone with scissors, so I went to the school store to buy a towel, but I didn't have any cash on me, so I swiped my card for 100 yuan and asked the store staff to change some change for me."
He Shu shook his head: "No, this won't work. If I prove that the money is mine, you have to prove that you really lost the money. If you can't prove it, you have to apologize to me in front of all the classmates and teachers in the school!"
He Shu looked at the money in the book, his face expressionless: "This money is mine. You lost a hundred dollars, do you see there is a hundred dollars in it?"
"We didn't see it." Several other roommates quickly distanced themselves from the incident. One hundred yuan was not a small amount of money for students like them.
"Where did you get the money? How come it's such a coincidence that I lost a hundred dollars and you bought a new towel right away and still have more than 90 left? What do you think?"
The classmates in the same dormitory also felt that Lai Huaguang was right. It’s not that they helped him just because they were good friends with Lai Huaguang, but that He Shu really spent almost no money.
He Shu looked at him: "How can you prove that the money is yours?"
"No, we can't leave until we find it."
"Since someone can prove that it was He Shu who took the money, then Lai Huaguang, your money was not taken by He Shu. Well, you have been making such a fuss so early in the morning that you have delayed the class. Since He Shu is innocent, let's go back."
He Shu was only wearing a pair of school uniform pants and a vest. There was no money in his pants pockets, so there was no other place to hide the money.
"I," Lai Huaguang panicked, "You need to prove that the money is yours first."
He Shu narrated with an expressionless face, and Lai Huaguang broke out in a cold sweat: "He Shu, you actually monitored us?"
He Shu stood there silently, and everyone started pointing at him.
"Is your towel new? Did you steal the towel I spent 100 yuan on yesterday?" Lai Huaguang pointed at He Shu's nose and shouted angrily. Several other classmates also looked at He Shu with suspicion.
Lai Huaguang began to exaggerate and said that he felt something was wrong yesterday. He Shu suddenly bought a new towel, and then this morning he discovered that his money was missing. He found the remaining change on He Shu's bed.
"Yours? Everyone knows that you are poor, how can you have so much money? Look, how much are these?" Lai Huaguang counted them. The fifty and ten-yuan coins in change added up to a total of 94 yuan.
Lai Huaguang's noise attracted students from other dormitories. Seeing more and more people watching outside the door, Lai Huaguang loudly told others that He Shu was a thief and had stolen his money.
He turned He Shu's neatly folded quilt into a mess, and finally he really saw some change tucked in a book under the pillow.
"I didn't see it. How much money did you lose? Maybe you just forgot where you put it."
"How do you prove that the money is yours?" Lai Huaguang said from the side.
"He Shu, do you have anything else to say?"
He Shu turned his head to look at Lai Huaguang: "So, the salesperson at the school store can prove it."
"I didn't take it."
"Tsk, you have money? Do you think I don't know what's going on with your family? Who gave you the money?" Lai Huaguang crossed his arms and spoke loudly. He just wanted to embarrass He Shu and let Xia Miao see what kind of person He Shu was.
"Go wash up and have breakfast first, or you'll be late for class." The other students were a little unhappy.
He Shu pursed his lips and looked at Lai Huaguang: "This is my money. "
The teacher looked at He Shu and said, "He Shu, is that so? If you really took it by accident, return it to Lai Huaguang."
"If you let go, how can I prove whether my money is lost or not?" Lai Huaguang felt a little panicked.
"How can you prove it? If you can prove it, then someone else took it, right?"
"Lai Huaguang, we have searched everything, can we leave now?"
After hearing what the teacher said, Lai Huaguang hurriedly wanted to leave, but He Shu grabbed him and said, "No, teacher, we haven't asked him to prove that his money is really lost."
After symbolically searching several other students, Lai Huaguang asked them to give witnesses and then went to search He Shu.
"That won't work. We haven't searched your bed yet." Lai Huaguang didn't give He Shu a chance to refuse and went straight to search He Shu's bed.
"What do you want?" He Shu was a little impatient.
It was not until the dormitory supervisor heard the news and rushed over and drove away the onlookers that he began to ask questions.
He Shu looked at the teacher who was also stunned: "Teacher, I proved that the money was mine, and I also proved that he had spent all his money long ago. He had no money to lose. What happened today was him framing me."
Lai Huaguang was feeling proud. He saw He Shu put some money in the book after turning off the lights last night, but he didn't see clearly how much it was. 
He didn't expect that he had really fooled him.
Of course, there were also people who felt that He Shu would not steal money. He did not look like that kind of person. However, since no one had a good relationship with He Shu, no one spoke up for him.
How could Lai Huaguang let him go? He hurriedly shouted, "I haven't found the money yet, so no one can leave."
"He did it on purpose. Why didn't he say anything in the dormitory just now?" Lai Huaguang shouted in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.
"I lost my money! Has anyone seen the money I put under my pillow?" Lai Huaguang started yelling as soon as he woke up in the morning.
"He Shu, did you take Lai Huaguang's money?" asked the dormitory supervisor.
It seems that the teacher also thinks He Shu stole the money.
There will no longer be a teacher like Li Mei who believes in him and protects him.
"I didn't have time to monitor you. You were talking too loudly in the dormitory."
Lai Huaguang was stunned: "What else do I need to prove? Everyone knows that I have money in my pocket every day. But you, teacher, can you ask other students when they saw He Shu spend money? He has no money at all."
This news spread quickly in the school. As expected, most people believed that He Shu had stolen Lai Huaguang's money. Because Lai Huaguang came from a well-off family and often generously treated his classmates to snacks and drinks, they all believed that he would not falsely accuse someone for a hundred dollars.
He Shu ignored Lai Huaguang and the others, and took the basin and towel to wash up.
"I lost a hundred dollars." Lai Huaguang wanted to say more, but was afraid of making things worse.
He Shu clenched his fists, and his voice became colder: "Lai Huaguang, what if I can prove that the money is mine?"
In the office, He Shu and Lai Huaguang were standing there. Lai Huaguang kept talking about how he lost the money. He Shu saw the suspicion of himself in the eyes of the office teachers.
Seeing that both parties claimed that the money was theirs and there was no surveillance camera in the dormitory, the dormitory supervisor had no choice but to take the two to find their class teacher.
"I'll prove it for you!" He Shu stared into Lai Huaguang's eyes. "When you went to school on Monday, you brought 300 yuan with you. You spent it all on Wednesday, which was the day before yesterday. Yesterday, you only had 20 yuan left. You bought two hamburgers and gave one to Li Lisen. You also asked Li Lisen to treat you to a meal today, and you can treat him again when you come back next Monday."
One hundred yuan is not a big deal, but as long as He Shu can be accused of being a thief, let’s see how he can act so arrogantly in the future.
"I told you, I didn't take anyone else's money. The change in this book is what I had left when I bought the towels with my own money yesterday."
