Xie Jing had indeed returned to this area at a later time to do a check. Perhaps at that time, he had unknowingly pulled up some of Qiao Mei’s strawberry plants, but he really did not steal any of them. After he left, someone else must have come here as well. It seemed that there was a third person involved in this matter!
“Professor, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please investigate thoroughly and uphold justice for me!” Xie Jing said righteously.
Xie Jings admirers were all touched by how righteous he looked. They shouted in unison, “Professor, please uphold justice for Xie Jing! Prove Xie Jings innocence! ”
The principal immediately said, “l will definitely find out the truth about this matter. The school will definitely investigate it thoroughly! Don’t worry, everyone.”

Wu Duo quickly shouted, “In that case, Xie Jing is still the most likely suspect now! I think we should search Xie Jings dormitory room and his house! It will be a good thing if we don’t find anything. This way, it will also clear Xie Jing’s name! Xie Jing will be absolved!”
Qiao Mei gave Wu Duo a look of admiration. This was a promising kid. Wu Duo had learned a lot in the past few days.
“Yes! Search their house! They must be hiding something in their house! Xie Jing must have hidden the strawberry plants. It must be him!” Wang Wei said agitatedly.
“You can search if you want! Xie Jing is an upright person and would not have a crooked shadow! Do you think he is afraid of you?” Sun Jia shouted at Qiao Mei and the others.
Xie Jing frowned slightly. Why was there such a fool beside him? However, he had been too careless and had forgotten that the school could order a search.
Xie Jing was the representative of the underprivileged students in the agriculture faculty. If anything was found in his house, it would not just be this matter at stake. It might lead to many other issues.
There was no such thing as privacy rights in this era. As long as a person was a suspect, they could be searched without the need to call the police. The village officials, the community officials, the education department and the government all had the right to carry out searches directly.
Xie Jing could not reject the school’s request for a search. He looked at Qiao Mei and gritted his teeth as he said, “If you don’t find anything this time round, you have to apologize to me publicly! And give me compensation!”
“Compensation… He still has the cheek to ask for compensation…” Wu Duo muttered angrily.
Qiao Mei smiled and said, “No problem. If we don’t find anything, not only will 1 apologize publicly, but I will also give you the slot to study abroad.” Xie Jings eyes lit up. Qiao Mei was definitely going to lose this time!
When the school staff was searching his dormitory room, he found a chance to inform Cui Hua to quickly hide all the things at home so that the school would not notice anything amiss.
The school staff did not manage to find anything related to the strawberry plants in the dormitory. Only a fool would leave such big plants lying around in the dormitory. The school staff proceeded to search Xie Jing’s house. However, this time round, they did not allow the students to come along as they did not want to disturb the villagers and cause Xie Jing to have to face unnecessary rumors.
“l want to come too!” Wu Duo said agitatedly.
“Only Qiao Mei can come with us to carry out the search. You can’t,” the dean said.

Qiao Mei looked at Wu Duo and whispered, “You’re a student from the engineering faculty. It’s not appropriate for you to be too involved in this matter. Stay in the school and help me keep an eye out for any issues we might have missed.”
“Alright, I understand. Then you have to be careful.” After saying that, Wu Duo looked at Qiao Mei and the others and left.
Xie Jings house was not big and had three rooms. There was also a woodshed for firewood and a storeroom for tools. The courtyard was very small and could only accommodate three people at a time.
“What’s going on?” Cui Hua asked as she walked out of the house in a panic.
Xie Jing hurriedly explained, “It’s nothing. The teachers are just here to take a look at my living quarters. Don’t be afraid.”
The dean looked at Cui Hua’s delicate appearance and echoed, “That’s right, we’re just here to take a look at Xie Jings living quarters. It’s not a big deal.”
Qiao Mei could not be bothered to watch Xie Jing put on an act. She carefully observed the structure of Xie Jings house and kept thinking of ways to find any flaws in it.
Xie Jing proactively led the teachers into the house to conduct a search. Qiao Mei did not follow them and went to the storeroom instead..
