Fortunately, Lin Luoxue's vision was different from Zhong Bai's. She did not choose Lu Qiachuan's "posthumous photo", but chose a photo of him standing in the sun. The title of the work was:

my sweetheart!

When the photo was hung up and seen by other students in the class, they all started howling and booing wildly.

When Ye Jiping arrived at the ancient town at night and saw the photos of his students, he felt extremely tired. He had worked hard to teach professional courses for more than a year, but in the end he only taught such answers. He was really ashamed.

Zhou Chen originally thought that this photography exhibition would start smoothly and end steadily, and there would be no conflicts like those in the TV drama plots.

But when he was strolling around the ancient town with Lin Luoxue at night and talking about love, he received a phone call saying that their class's work had been stolen. He couldn't help but sigh that fate is really unpredictable.

Accompanying Lin Luoxue to their exhibition area, Lu Qiachuan, Yu Hao, Xiao Haiyang, Zhong Bai and Ye Jiping had already arrived. The others were arranged by Ye Jiping to go out and look for photos, but unfortunately they couldn't find any after searching for a while.

Just like in the TV drama, there were two photos stolen, one was from Lu Qiachuan and the other from Xiao Haiyang.

This incident made Xiao Haiyang and Lu Qiachuan very proud. They said shamelessly that it was because their photos were the best that they were stolen by thieves.

Seeing their smug looks, Zhou Chen said quietly, "Tell me, is there another possibility that the thieves didn't want to cause too much commotion, so they chose the two worst works because they felt that those two works were probably just for show, and it wouldn't make much difference whether they existed or not?"

In an instant, there was silence in the room, and the pride on the faces of Lu Qiaochuan and Xiao Haiyang stopped abruptly, and their expressions became stiff.

"Hahaha……"

Yu Hao laughed triumphantly, holding his stomach and patting the table.

"Zhou Chen, you are absolutely right. You fully expressed the thief's thoughts at the time. This is absolutely the truth."

Lu Qiachuan and Xiao Haiyang both stared at Zhou Chen with gloomy eyes.

"Zhou Chen, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb..."

Chapter 734: Ancient Town Thief, Ye Jiping Goes Abroad

If it were someone else, after finding out that his work had been stolen, he would definitely be furious and would want to find the thief.

But Lu Qiachuan and Xiao Haiyang are not ordinary people. After learning that their works were stolen, they were not angry but very proud.

But Zhou Chen's words made their mood instantly fall from the peak to the bottom of the valley, and they felt even colder in their hearts.

"Jealous, Zhou Chen, I think you are just jealous. You say this because your own work has not been stolen."

"That's right. Apart from Qiao Chuan's photo, the only photo of our class that showed our face was yours. Qiao Chuan's photo was stolen, but yours wasn't. So you are jealous. Jealousy drives people crazy and makes them incoherent."

Zhou Chen was surprised: "Damn, Xiao Haiyang, you can actually speak so coherently, it's really rare."

Xiao Haiyang's face darkened: "If I didn't know I couldn't beat you, I would definitely give you a big slap right now."

Zhong Bai also stood up at this time: "I chose Lu Qiachuan's photo. It is a truly excellent work, so it is definitely not what you said."

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly at the three people who seemed mysteriously confident, but Yu Hao did not give them any face. He criticized and despised them in various ways. They quarreled with each other like they were performing a crosstalk.

Ye Jiping, the class teacher, couldn't stand it anymore.

"You two are not ashamed, but proud of it. As your photography class teacher, not only did I fail to teach you photography skills, I also indulged you in cultivating your hobbies in the direction of crosstalk. I am not teaching you well."

His expression of shame and disgust was full of acting, which made Zhou Chen extremely speechless. This head teacher is also a funny guy.

After Ye Jiping left, Zhong Bai clapped his hands and said loudly: "We can't let the stolen photos go so easily. I think we need to organize an anti-theft team to get the photos back within 24 hours."

Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao had no objections, but Lu Qiachuan didn't care much. The photo was too weird, and if he had a choice, he would rather not look for it.

Thinking of the reason why the work was stolen in the plot, Zhou Chen said: "If we want to find the thief who stole the photo, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. If we analyze it carefully, we may be able to get the answer."

"Can you find the thief who stole the photo?"

Lu Qiachuan and others were all surprised.

Zhou Chen said: "Like I just said, the thief only stole the two worst works, and that's it..."

"Wait." "Stop."

Lu Qiachuan and Xiao Haiyang shouted almost at the same time, stopping Zhou Chen.

“I repeat, our work is not the worst.”

"Okay, let's get down to business. Don't worry about these details."

"No, this is not a trivial matter. This is about our honor. Our work is not the worst." Lu Qiachuan and Xiao Haiyang refused to give in.

Yu Hao rolled his eyes. “You two shameless fellows, even at this point, you’re still stubborn.”

Zhou Chen asked impatiently: "Do you two still want to find the photo? If you interrupt me again, you can go find it yourself."

After being threatened by Zhou Chen, Lu Qiachuan and Xiao Haiyang were unhappy, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Zhong Bai urged: "Zhou Chen, tell us quickly, we must find Lu Qiachuan's photo as soon as possible."

As for Xiao Haiyang, he was simply ignored by her.

Zhou Chen then said again: "The thieves stole the two worst works, which means that their purpose was not really to destroy our exhibition, otherwise they would not have stolen only the two worst works. Maybe they felt that without those two works, our exhibition would not have much impact, so I think this behavior is more of a revenge."

"Retaliation?" Lu Qiachuan and others looked confused.

“Why are you retaliating against us?”

"Yes, we just came to the ancient town today and haven't offended anyone. Why are you retaliating against us? There is no reason."

Zhou Chen said: "The biggest possibility is that one of us offended someone in the afternoon. Now think carefully, did any of you have a conflict with others in the afternoon?"

Lu Qiachuan and the others thought about it carefully, but soon shook their heads.

"I don't really remember having a conflict with anyone."

"Me too."

"I do not have either."

"I'll ask other students in the class."

Soon, other students also responded and did not have any conflicts with others.

Finally, Zhou Chen looked at Yu Hao, who was still in a narcissistic state, and asked: "Yu Hao, what about you? Have you offended anyone today? Or said something wrong and got into a conflict with others?"

"I?"

Yu Hao pointed at himself, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How is it possible? Zhou Chen, how could you doubt me, Brother Hao? I am the image ambassador of our class, how could I do such a thing?"

But as soon as he said this, he found that Zhou Chen and others were staring at him with suspicion, which made him anxious.

"What are you looking at? What do you mean? Do you really doubt me?"

Lu Qiachuan said slowly, "Brother Hao, it's not that we want to doubt you, but you are a person who doesn't know how to talk. It's not surprising that you sometimes say something that offends others."

Zhong Bai also said: "Brother Hao, think about it carefully. Whether you can find photos of Lu Qiachuan and the others depends on you."

Xiao Haiyang was even more straightforward and patted Yu Hao's shoulder hard.

"I know you're jealous of me, but you should find a way to find our photos first."

Yu Hao looked desperate and wronged: "You guys, are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Lin Luoxue said with a smile: "Brother Hao, I actually believe you, but you should think about it carefully."

Zhou Chen was even more straightforward. In the plot, it was Yu Hao who caused the trouble, so he is the biggest suspect now.

"Stop talking nonsense and think about whether you have said anything offensive today."

"No no."

Yu Hao stomped his feet angrily, loudly telling his grievances.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to ask in a different way: "So where did you go this afternoon?"

They came to set up the site in the afternoon, which lasted only a few hours at most, so the number of people they could meet was limited, except for those students who also came to the exhibition.

Yu Hao said: “I didn’t go anywhere. I just walked around and looked at the works of other schools, and then went to eat with you guys.”

Zhou Chen didn't know whether Yu Hao was the trigger of this incident. He just guessed based on the plot. He had no way of knowing the details.

"Forget it. It's already late today. Even if we look for him, we won't be able to find him. Let's do it tomorrow. When the exhibition is set up tomorrow, the squad leader and I will go around and see if there are any suspicious people."

Zhong Bai volunteered and said, "Zhou Chen, let's organize an anti-pickpocketing team tomorrow and go investigate together."

Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, and he agreed helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the anti-pickpocket team organized by Zhong Bai started a meeting, preparing to go find the thief in a big way.

Zhou Chen, who saw this scene, really felt sorry for these boring people. If they were not extremely bored, they would not do such a thing.

Zhou Chen did not say anything, but walked around the exhibition area with Lu Qiachuan, and took out photos and asked the students who participated in the exhibition.

"Are you really sure that the person who stole the photo is a student participating in the exhibition like us?"

Lu Qiachuan was very curious, because Zhou Chen told him last night that the person who stole the photos should be a student participating in the exhibition like them, and he should not be the kind of person with great malicious intent, otherwise he would not have only stolen the two worst ones.

Although he strongly objected that his photos were the worst, he also felt that what Zhou Chen said made some sense, so he and Zhou Chen started looking for people to ask early in the morning.

After a round, Lu Qiachuan asked Zhou Chen: "How is it, did you see who has the problem?"

Zhou Chen did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think, do you have any suspects?"

Lu Qiachuan carefully recalled the process of the questioning just now: "Just now, most people's attitudes were very good, only two people seemed a little impatient, could it be possible that those two people were?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "The boy in the exhibition area in front of us is the most suspicious. You just heard him say that people in our class were talking nonsense and looked down on the works of other schools. This may be the reason why the thief took action."

"Is it that simple? Then what should we do?" Lu Qiachuan asked.

Zhou Chen said, "That depends on how you want to solve it. I didn't ask anyone else to come with me, I just asked you to come because you are more rational and not as impulsive as them. This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. After all, it is stealing, which is strictly speaking an illegal act."

"What I mean is that the other party didn't go too far. I don't think we should make a big fuss about it. It's better to make a big deal out of it. Of course, it wasn't me whose work was stolen. I'm just analyzing it from my own perspective. The final decision on whether to pursue the matter is still up to you and Xiao Haiyang. After all, the stolen work belongs to both of you. If you want to pursue the matter, I support you."

Although the thief has his reasons, stealing is stealing, and this behavior cannot be washed away. It is a true saying that one should not do evil, no matter how small it is.

Patting Lu Qiachuan on the shoulder, Zhou Chen sighed, "You can handle this matter yourself, but I remind you that Zhong Bai and Xiao Haiyang are too impulsive. If they find out, something bad will happen. Teacher Ye will be going abroad in a month. I personally think that we should try not to cause him any trouble."

He has lived for so many years, and of course his way of dealing with people is different from that of young people. It's not that he cares too much about gains and losses, but there is really no need to make a big deal about this kind of thing.

Just like in the TV series, after the incident got out of hand, a fight broke out in the ancient town. It seemed passionate, but in fact, no one pursued the matter afterwards. Otherwise, both parties would have suffered a bad outcome, and a demerit for one person would have been considered a light punishment.

After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Lu Qiachuan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I understand, I know what to do."

Zhou Chen did not ask about what happened afterwards. He believed that he had explained it so clearly, and Lu Qiachuan would surely understand and should be able to do a good job.

In fact, after considering for a long time, Lu Qiachuan took the initiative to call Ye Jiping to negotiate with the other party. No one knew what they talked about in the end, but there was no conflict and the photos were successfully retrieved.

No conflict occurred and Lin Luoxue was helping classmates set up the exhibition area, so Zhou Chen wandered around the ancient town alone.

In fact, their photography exhibition is only a small part of the ancient town tourist area. This ancient town is very large and there are many interesting places. Zhou Chen saw many interesting objects and people along the way.

Take the photography exhibition for example. Zhou Chen also saw many excellent works. There is never a shortage of talent in the world.

What's more, there are many famous schools participating in the photography exhibition this time. After looking around, Zhou Chen had to admit that the works of their photography class really could not be ranked. They could only beat the electronic editing class next door. Compared with the photography classes of those top famous schools, the difference is not a little bit.

You have to know that this is just the work of students, which is incomparable with the photographers in society.

A day passed in a flash.

Zhou Chen and Lin Luoxue were strolling in the ancient town hand in hand, when suddenly a little girl came towards them, holding a few bouquets of red paper flowers.

"Brother, brother, buy a flower for beautiful sister."

Zhou Chen and Lin Luoxue smiled at each other. Lin Luoxue squatted down and touched the little girl, while Zhou Chen took out money and bought a few bouquets of paper flowers.

In tourist attractions, it is very common to see children selling things like this. After all, children are more likely to win the favor of others than adults.

Especially couples like them, they are the "fat sheep" in the eyes of these kid merchants.

Although Zhou Chen knew that this was a marketing strategy, he was still willing to spend money to buy it, if for no other reason than to see the smile on Lin Luoxue's face.

Lin Luoxue looked at the red rose in her hand, her smile never ending.

"Zhou Chen, do you think we can come to this kind of tourist attraction and do some small business when we are old?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If you want, of course it's no problem. I'll buy a storefront and we'll open a photo studio, which is also a good match for our profession."

Lin Luoxue asked: "How much does it cost for our photo shoot?"

"Based on our level, we'll need at least 21 cards."

"Twenty-one, you're really dark."

"Is this still considered cheap? Look, a paper flower costs ten dollars, and I took twenty-one photos. That's reasonable, right?"

"Okay, okay, you are the head of the family, whatever you say is right."
