Chapter 245 Dormitory Investigation
After a little preparation, Wu Qingluan's face became a little serious. She looked at the girls and said, "Classmates, in order to solve the case as quickly as possible, I will ask you some questions. Don't be nervous. Just tell me as much as you know about Wu Mengjie."
"You ask, we are ready."
Several girls each brought their own stools and surrounded Wu Qingluan. Although they were still a little nervous, they were not as scared as they were at the beginning. They seemed to trust Wu Qingluan more.
"Then I'll start asking." Wu Qingluan smiled: "As for Wu Mengjie, how much do you know about her?"
Without too much time to think, the dormitory head who opened the door spoke first: "How should I put it? Wu Mengjie is a very solitary girl. When we first started freshman year, we were all accompanied by our parents, but Wu Mengjie came alone and was a few days late. She only came after we had already started classes."
Wu Qingluan nodded symbolically. One girl seemed to have thought of something and immediately continued what the dormitory head said: "I remember this too. At that time, we wanted to build a good relationship with her. At noon on the day she reported, we placed our favorite snacks on her desk to welcome her. But her attitude at that time surprised us."
When talking about the first day they met Wu Mengjie, the other girls in the dormitory expressed their deep agreement with what the first two girls said, and nodded in unison to confirm that what they said was true.
"What did Wu Mengjie do to surprise you?" Wu Qingluan looked a little curious and asked them.
"Logically, since we're all in college, most people would express their gratitude even if their roommates were very cold to them if they took the initiative to welcome them and gave them their favorite snacks. But what we didn't expect was that after Wu Mengjie saw the snacks we gave her, she threw them into the trash can without even asking us a single question." One girl is still a little angry when she thinks about it now, and there's some indignation on her face when she speaks.
"Yes, we politely said a few words to her at that time, saying that she would be busy with her work at noon and would not have time to eat. But she didn't even look at us after hearing us. She said contemptuously, "Don't try to get along with her. Just pretend she doesn't exist. Finally, she added that we shouldn't give her this kind of junk food. She never eats this kind of food."
Wu Qingluan frowned slightly as she listened, as if she had pieced together what happened in the dormitory through the words of these children. She paused and said, "Then, how did this matter end?"
"Later, the matter was dropped. We were all freshmen, so we didn't dare to cause trouble. What we feared most was a dormitory conflict. We really ran into one, and it was so inexplicable. Look at Wu Mengjie's face and behavior at the time. In addition, she is from the same city, so who among us girls from other provinces dared to say a word? We had to endure it no matter how angry we were."
Wu Qingluan nodded. She felt that their answer was true. A local girl who looked tough appeared next to several foreign girls with milder personalities. Her arrogant and domineering look had already made them feel a little scared. Moreover, since the school had just started, she could almost foresee that these girls would let the matter go.
After all, who wants to get into trouble right at the start of school? Everyone enters university with great hopes. When something like this happens, most people would choose to deal with it coldly.
"After that, we stopped being so cold to each other. Fortunately, after this incident, although Wu Mengjie was still cold, there were no major conflicts between us. In addition, she was not in the dormitory most of the time and only came to sleep at night. We got along well. Except for the weird atmosphere, it was not to the point where we could not bear it. Wu Mengjie moved out not long after the school started and only came back to sleep two days a week, so there were really no major conflicts between us."
The dormitory head summarized it and said to Wu Qingluan.
Wu Qingluan nodded in agreement, and then said, "I heard that Wu Mengjie's academic performance is quite good in your department, right?"
When it came to this, several girls nodded in unison. The two more lively-looking girls hummed softly, and one of them lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Wu Mengjie's family is well-off. She has been learning various languages since she was a child, so few people in the department can surpass her. Her academic performance is really good."
There was some sourness in her words. Wu Qingluan grinned, but the dormitory head glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense. It's their ability to study well and it's their ability to have a good family environment. There's nothing wrong with that."
After being scolded by the older sister in the dormitory, the girl was unhappy but not unconvinced. She muttered in a low voice: "I was just saying that. Who makes her so noble normally?"
Wu Qingluan did not comment too much on her behavior, but continued to ask: "Do you know any good friends that Wu Mengjie usually plays with?"
Several girls looked at each other and thought for a long time before shaking their heads: "No, I haven't seen her getting close to anyone. She sits alone during class and is the first to leave after class. Sometimes she appears and disappears like an invisible person. I think it's hard for our department to have good friends with her. I've basically never seen anyone like her."
As everyone's spokesperson, the dormitory head quickly answered Wu Qingluan's question.
Wu Qingluan quickly made a rough analysis based on what everyone had just said about Wu Mengjie. In all likelihood, Wu Mengjie's personality would indeed make her seem unsociable. Under such circumstances, it would be unlikely for Wu Mengjie to have any friends that were known to everyone, but it was also unreasonable for a person to have no friends. Perhaps it was just because everyone hadn't found them yet.
Wu Qingluan thought about it and was about to ask another question, but before she could ask the question, she heard a girl suddenly exclaim, as if she had thought of something surprising. She looked at everyone in surprise, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she opened her eyes wide and said, "I have a discovery, but I'm not sure if it's true."
Wu Qingluan was a little excited in her heart, and immediately encouraged her to speak out: "It doesn't matter, just say whatever you think of, maybe there will be important clues, tell me, what did you think of just now?"
The girl Wu Qingluan asked had a serious expression on her face. She frowned as if she was thinking carefully. After a long while, she looked at everyone and said, "Last week, when Wu Mengjie came back to school to live for a few days, didn't you notice anything different?"
Wu Qingluan quickly glanced at the other girls. Those girls looked confused at first, but Wu Qingluan found that with the girls' guidance, the rest of the people seemed to have thought of something strange.
"Tell me, what was strange about Wu Mengjie at that time." Seeing that they finally had an important clue, Wu Qingluan was a little excited and urged them in her tone.
"Wu Mengjie used to read when she came back to the dormitory, but the last time she came back, or even the time before that, she didn't read. Instead, she simply washed up and went straight to bed!"
The girl said something quickly, and immediately an excited voice added: "She rarely played with her phone in bed before!"
