Absurd deduction game

St. Jonis Middle School is not peaceful today.

The new transfer students brought many topics to the students. Whether it was the transfer students' grades, personalities, or appearance, they were all speculated and discussed. This is a normal situation - every time a new classmate comes, There will always be more attention.

However, in this school, even the enthusiasm of transfer students will not last more than a day. The heavy learning content and ever-present pressure hang over every young person's head, and they quickly control the novelty. Prepare to study in the dorms or take on the challenge of study hall every night.

But strangely, another rumor quietly emerged.

I heard that the library in the back mountain was a bit busy today. The librarian who couldn't leave the house somehow summoned the senior high school dean and lost his temper in the library. It seemed that a student didn't register. Take the book away.

According to rumors, the old woman who was the librarian, whose name no one knew, even cut off the clothes of the grade director Jean in anger. Jean was also angry about this, so he blocked the classroom building before self-study in the evening, as if waiting. Students who make mistakes are sent to the door.

"He seems to be a transfer student..."

"How did I hear that he is from Class 2, Grade 3?"

"Anyway, I'm going to be without one again today."

"I'm curious as to what book the librarian cares about so much. Director Jean is here to arrest him."

"Will I be caught? Although I don't know the reason, I have to support that classmate in one hand... I hope it's okay."

"How can it be okay after everything is like this!"

In the classroom with lights on in the teaching building, the students were whispering to each other and sharing the new gossip. They were excited, curious and worried. The night sky outside the window was dark, and Director Jean's fat body was wandering in the corridor.

The most confused ones were Class 2 and Class 4. The former knew that there were no transfer students in their class, while the latter guessed who could be so bold as to cause trouble on the first day.

When Yu Xing walked into the teaching building, he encountered such a strange atmosphere. He started eavesdropping from the first floor, and by the time he got to his classroom, he had basically heard the general story.

Director Jean was wandering back and forth in the corridor belonging to Class 3 and 4 of high school, like a patrolling NPC who had set a predetermined route, while the other deducers who came with him couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yu Xing.

Qu Xianqing smiled: "You did it, right?"

Zhao Mou couldn't bear it: "What other crazy thing did you do behind our backs?"

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

Wen Qinghuai: "Hey, are you a troublemaker like Zeng Lai?"

Yu Xing felt very innocent about this. Although he was indeed responsible for the incident, he was still a little sad that his teammates pointed the finger at him whenever they disagreed.

Why, is he usually not well-behaved?

"Don't show that expression. We walked separately at noon. Your direction is the library, so don't quibble." Zhao Mou remembered it very clearly and mercilessly exposed his intention to start the show, and then he also became curious. "Why is this book so important that it caused a conflict between the administrator and Director Jean? I didn't see you bringing the book back when we gathered at noon."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and did not answer the question. Instead, he shrugged and said, "Who knows? I didn't do it."

When Zhao Mou heard his answer, he knew what he was doing. Yu Xing must have been worried that Director Ji En was here to investigate, so he could not admit his crime in front of anyone.

They walked towards the classroom of Class 4, Grade 3. When they saw them, the people in Class 4 suddenly became quiet. Classes 3 and 5 on the left and right were also paying attention to what was going on here as if they were joining in the fun. The students all did this. Of course, Director Jean noticed the abnormality. When he turned around, he saw the five people who came this time.

"You came just in time, I have something to ask you."

Director Jean strode up to them and stopped them from entering the class. Then he paused and said to Qu Nianqing: "You go to the classroom first and study hard in the evening."

Qu Xianqing nodded meekly: "Okay teacher."

Having said that, there was no spirit of sharing the joys and sorrows at all, and he turned around and entered the classroom without any nostalgia, leaving the boys outside the door.

"So many people are discussing this matter, have you heard it?" The girl left, and the remaining four boys were all suspects. Director Jean's fat face no longer had the morning smile, but looked... Very harsh.

"We heard it, teacher." They responded sparsely.

"So, who is it? Who went to the library to steal things at noon?" Gene just stood outside the door, asking them. The students in the classroom pricked up their ears and eavesdropped. They also wanted to know. Who is the protagonist of the nightly gossip?

"I don't know." The four boys' responses were still similar. In the eyes of Director Jean, this was obviously covering up for each other.

Gene sneered: "Very well, children at this age are all about loyalty, right? I'll give you ten seconds. If no one comes forward and admits this, I will let you accept the punishment together!"

"Wait a minute, teacher, isn't this bad? Even if one of us breaks the rules, the others will not know about it and have to be punished?" Yu Xing looked confused, "Then what kind of mistake did I make? People who have not committed any crime, don’t you have a reason to punish me? Isn’t it said that St. Jonis Middle School is a very fair school, and only those who make mistakes will be punished? How come I have only been here for a day, and I feel that it is different from what is reported in the news. So much the same..."

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

I have seen thieves shouting to catch thieves, but I have never seen them so confident.

Moreover, such a question was raised by Yu Xing in public, and Director Jean was speechless for a moment.

"Indeed, teacher, joint punishment should be carried out on the basis that both parties know about it and are deliberately covering up. But we don't know anything, so it seems a bit against the rules to punish us like this?" Zhao Mou followed Yu Xing's retort. He sat down and pushed up his glasses.

"And you can't tell if it's us?" Yu Xing muttered, "What did the administrator say? What was lost? Did he see the person who stole things in the past?"

Wen Qinghuai patted Yu Xing on the shoulder and reminded: "When I walked over, I heard them say that the administrator is a lady, not a gentleman."

"Oh, then this question is still true. What did he say? What was lost?" Yu Xing's expression became uncomfortable. He seemed to have thought of something bad. "If I am punished for this, what will happen?" Won’t it hurt? Will I be beaten to death directly?”

When Director Jean heard their conversation, his doubts became deeper and deeper. He had seen students lie, but based on his experience, he could easily expose those lies, but the ignorance in the eyes of these people did not look like lies. Especially the transfer student named Roy, who didn't even know whether the administrator was a boy or girl.

"Ms. Administrator said that this student went to the library at noon today. He is a boy with a new face that he has never seen before. He wrote on the information that he is a third-grade, second-class Garrison." Gene's expression showed no signs of relief. , "I have already confirmed that there is no one named Jiade in the second class of the third grade, and there are no transfer students. There are only five of you in this wave of transfer students, so the bad boy who stole things is among you."

"You mean that the thief used a false identity when he entered the library?" Zhao Mou looked down at Director Jean, who was a head shorter than him, and his tone was full of disapproval, "I don't quite understand, since he used a false identity. Identity, why can we doubt our transfer students? Has everyone in this school been to the library? They can just take off their identity tags when they get to the library."

It is true that studying at St. Jonis Middle School is stressful, but not all students are very motivated to study. There are also many people who have lost motivation in despair and just want to live one more day.

Such people will not go to the library.

In other words, the new face of the administrator is not necessarily the person who just came to the school today.

"That makes sense." Gene noticed that these children spared no effort in blaming the blame, but they were quite sincere, "But you are the most suspicious."

"Teacher, just ask the administrator lady to come out and recognize us." Yu Xing said, "Isn't this the easiest way? She has seen the thief before, so she won't be able to recognize it."

His confidence was so obvious that it was impossible to extract even a shred of suspicion from it.

"Also, there should be only books in the library. What did the thief steal?" Wen Qinghuai showed curiosity, "What books cannot be read directly and need to be stolen. Are there any banned books in our school? Why are banned books released? In the library?"

"How could there be such a thing as banned books in our St. Jonis Middle School? But the administrator has always been in charge of the library. I don't know exactly which book the thief stole. It's just that the administrator said this book is very important." Ji En's train of thought was distorted. As he listened, he suddenly felt that what these children said made sense, "The librarian lady is unwilling to leave the library, so she can't come here to identify it, um..."

"Since it is a very important book, how can we know where this kind of book is in the library on our first day? Isn't this something only old students know." Zhao Yijiao, the most silent one among them At this time, people also raised very strong logical doubts, which seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, making Gene completely deceived and lame.

"There must be limits when you accuse someone wrongly," Zhao Yijiu said coldly, "This afternoon, someone bullied Roy for being a transfer student and kicked him on the table. Now someone is stealing something, and we are the first to blame it. If a school doesn’t welcome transfer students, why not just say so.”

What he and Yu Xing learned was that if they didn't decide to blame someone when something happened, they could make the other person feel guilty by taking the problem seriously.

"You misunderstood." Jean touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead. Students have always been afraid of him because he can always find excuses to punish students. This is the first time that a student dares to confront him. The problem is that he really I can't find any loopholes in these students, and I have no chance to punish them.

And after listening to what they said, he found that he had indeed come a little hastily. There were many doubts about this matter, and even the behavior of the administrator himself was strange. He was puzzled by the administrator's unwillingness to leave the library. In the past, He had never paid attention to it, but now that he mentioned it, he suddenly realized that it seemed that the administrator had not left the library for a long, long time.

Banned books? She couldn't really have done anything illegal in the library.

Transfer student Sam is right. These transfer students do not have the ability to know in advance where the books are placed. On the contrary, only old students who have stayed at the school can do it. Could it be that this is really because transfer students do not have identity tags? opportunity, committed the theft, and then framed the blame on the transfer student?

Director Jean's eyes swept across the faces of the four transfer students. Sam's indifference made him look like a difficult problem student, but he was very confident in this matter.

Winter and Derek have a calm demeanor about having nothing to do with themselves.

Roy looked very afraid of pain, and Gene had seen the fear hidden on his face in many cowardly students, but he was so cowardly, how could he steal books and escape under the eyes of the administrator?

Well, it certainly doesn't look like it.

At this moment, the bell for evening self-study rang. The eavesdropping students turned pale and turned their heads in silence, and the whole school seemed much darker.

Jean softened his tone: "Evening self-study is about to begin, you go in first, I will continue to investigate this matter, because you are the only people without ID badges at noon, so I must come to ask, don't take it to heart ."

The four of them were finally able to enter the classroom.

Unlike when they first arrived, the evening self-study had already begun, and no one paid attention to them anymore. Even if their footsteps were a little messy when they came in, no one took their eyes away from the book.

It's as if if they don't read carefully, they will be captured by the legendary ghost.

The monitor of Class 4, Grade 3, sits on the podium, taking the place of the teacher's lecture. This has always been the case during evening self-study, and the monitor needs to sit on the podium.

Yu Xing walked to the last row and sat down next to Oliver. He noticed that Oliver's head was buried very low, and the distance between his eyes and the book was a little short, that is, too close. It was hard to believe that he could read like this. Know the words in the book clearly.

Some other students were doing homework, and Yu Xing also took out the homework assigned by the physics teacher. He didn't have much homework left. There was a gap of nearly three hours between get out of class in the afternoon and self-study in the evening, which was enough for him to write. After finishing all the homework in mathematics and physics, the reason why I left nothing to write was just to cover up for self-study in the evening.

After a while, Oliver slowly took out his homework. He pushed his curly hair back, revealing half of his sleep-deprived face. At this time, Oliver looked like a normal student, with his thin arms supporting his head. On the desktop, the pen moved every time, writing very seriously.

Yu Xing looked at him with his peripheral vision for a while, and then glanced at the white-haired girl in front of him. The white-haired girl finally stopped sleeping during evening self-study. When he came over just now, he took a special look at the white-haired girl's appearance. Like the red armband Ji Jingyi, whom we met once in the afternoon, they both have oriental faces.

At the moment, Yu Xing could only blend into the atmosphere of the evening self-study. He didn't believe that the dungeon was already open. Would the ghosts existing in this dungeon take advantage of such a good attack opportunity during the evening self-study?

If there was a probability of something going wrong in the previous evening self-study, then after the deducers join in, something will definitely happen in the evening self-study.
