Her bright smile bewildered everyone present.
Lu Ning turned around, picking up the test papers that they had just done from the chair beside Huo Jinyan, showcasing them to everyone.
“These papers were done in front of all the teachers. I cannot fake them.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked out two of the test papers in her hand, and placed them on the desk together with that test paper which she had supposedly cheated on.
Under the confused gazes of all the teachers, Lu Ning pointed at the test papers.
“No matter how one’s handwriting changes, one’s habits will not change.
“The same handwriting, but with different writing habits; don’t you teachers find it strange?
Teacher Shen was the first to come over. She looked at the three test papers in front of her.
One was of Lu Ning ‘cheating, another she had just done, and the last should have been done by another student on the spot.
She compared them carefully, and finally found the differences.
The handwriting on the ‘cheating’ test paper was indeed indistinguishable from Lu Ning’s; however, there was a difference at the back of each word.
This was a kind of quirk; some people would subconsciously tap their pens at the end of the last word after they finished a phrase or a sentence.
Occasionally, the person themselves would not even realize that they had this sort of habit.
The ‘cheating test paper had these dots, and so did the test paper which another student had just done. Not everyone has this habit.
A few other teachers surrounded her and examined the other test papers. Indeed, they had no such dots.
Although the handwriting on them were different, they displayed that same writing quirk.
Teacher Shen furrowed her brows. Picking up the test paper, she turned to look at the students. “Whose test paper is this?”
Lu Ning had simply mentioned something about a habit just now, and they had no idea what was happening. They did not know what she meant, nor did they know what the teacher meant.
Lu Ning turned and shot a glance at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi, who had been uninvolved all along, was a little puzzled when she suddenly looked at her.
Lu Ning took the test paper from Teacher Shen’s hand. Looking at the handwriting on it, she slowly spoke, emphasizing every word, “When someone imitates another person’s handwriting in order to frame them for cheating, what exactly could their motive be? Jiang Yi, can you answer this for me?” She walked up to Jiang Yi and showed her the test paper.
Jiang Yi’s heart skipped a beat. Looking at her paper, she reflexively gulped and replied in an even tone, “I don’t understand what you mean. What’s wrong with my paper? This matter has nothing to do with me. Lu Ning, what do you mean to achieve by dragging me into this?”
Lu Ning stared at her. “You’ll know if you have anything to do with this after you take a closer look.”
When Teacher Lang saw Lu Ning suddenly target Jiang Yi, he instantly lost his temper. Jiang Yi’s results were very good, and she was an outstanding student. How could he tolerate his best student being dragged into this mess for no discernible reason?
“Lu Ning! Are you crazy? After creating this whole mess, you’re now pulling unrelated students into it as well?!”
Teacher Shen took the ‘cheating test paper and placed it in front of Jiang Yi. She looked at her and said, “Jiang Yi, do you have anything else to say?
Intimidated by them, Jiang Yi looked at the two test papers and compared them; however, she did not find anything wrong. As she heaved a sigh of relief, Lu Ning brought her test paper over and looked at her with a beguiling smile.
“Take a closer look..”
