"Is all of this a distortion of human nature, or a decline in morality?"
"Welcome to Kyoto University's Moral Advocacy Section - The Stolen Lunch Box."
This video is very well made; it makes viewers feel a deep sense of abhorrence for theft.
He was filled with rage.
I wish I could catch the thief who stole the lunchbox and tear him to pieces right away.
At the end of the video, a passionate speech by Vice Principal Ma Jiang was also included.
On the screen, Ma Jiang is wearing a white shirt and tie, looking very formal.
He stood straight in front of the camera and solemnly warned:
“Every student of Peking University must take this as a warning and never allow this kind of theft to become rampant. If you discover any problems, report them in time and the university will definitely give you justice.”
Then, he made a fist salute, as if making a solemn vow:
"Let all teachers and students join me in making this pledge: Resist theft, starting with me. As a Kyoto resident, I speak for myself!"
After watching the video, everyone expressed their support for this upright vice principal.
However, two more days passed.
However, no matter how hard people searched, including reviewing all the school's security cameras dozens of times, they still couldn't find the culprit who stole the lunch boxes.
It's as if this lunchbox just vanished into thin air for no reason.
...
In the conference room.
The third discussion meeting regarding the stolen lunch boxes at Kyoto University is currently underway.
Tang Dahai stood up and spoke.
He wrote a report on the work the school had been doing over the past few days and the entire process of finding the murderer, and read it aloud at the meeting.
When they heard that no clues had been found yet, the school leaders frowned and looked helpless.
Such an infuriating thing, yet the murderer cannot be found.
What will the entire school think of them then?
What will public opinion say?
Will people say that these school leaders are incompetent, unable to even find a petty thief?
The reputation he had worked so hard to build up over most of his life was now ruined by this small boxed lunch.
How can you prevent someone from getting angry?
"Cunning, utterly cunning!" Vice Principal Ma Jiang, after hearing Tang Dahai's report, slammed his fist on the table in anger and shouted:
"Who did this? If I catch them, they will be severely punished!"
His face was flushed, and he looked very agitated, as if he was disappointed in his son.
Seeing Ma Jiang so angry, Tang Dahai immediately comforted him: "Vice President Ma, calm down. If you have to blame someone, blame the murderer for being too cunning. He completely fooled us. There's no use in us getting angry now."
After hearing this, Ma Jiang seemed to feel a little better. He sighed deeply and said, "Sigh... It's all my fault for being useless. As the vice principal in charge of school discipline, I am responsible for this. I cannot shirk my responsibility."
At the end, she wiped her eyes with her hand, looking like she was about to cry.
Other school leaders also offered words of comfort upon seeing this:
"Oh, Vice President Ma, don't blame yourself. We all know that among all the people there, you were the last person who wanted this to happen at the school."
"That's right. These past few days, you've been leading the team day and night to find the murderer, and you've been very dedicated. We've all seen that."
"Don't be sad. There's nothing we can do if we really can't find it. Let's just leave it at that."
Faced with this reality, there was nothing they could do.
Everyone felt helpless and had no other options.
"But this matter needs to be resolved, otherwise how can we explain it to the entire school?" Principal Zhang Weiguo said, scratching his head.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
There's not much that can be done.
What everyone wants now is a result.
A convincing result, even if the result is not necessarily the truth.
Suddenly, Ma Jiang, who was still feeling sad, had a flash of inspiration and suggested, "Why don't we say that the lunch boxes were stolen by stray cats on campus? That way, no one will say anything, and it will also make sense."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it seemed like a good plan.
There are indeed quite a few stray cats on the campus of Kyoto University.
Many students usually feed them.
Cats are animals after all, and if they get hungry, they might do something that goes against feline ethics.
Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable to say that the cat stole the lunchbox.
Cats can't talk, and they can't defend themselves.
He certainly wouldn't sing: "Listen to me, thank you, because of you, all four seasons are warm..."
If they say they stole it, then they stole it.
Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear my name.
Although the school leaders were very reluctant, they seemed to have no better solution.
In the end, they had no choice but to agree to Ma Jiang's suggestion.
Subsequently, relevant staff members published details of the stolen lunch boxes on the school forum, Weibo, and WeChat official account.
After everyone learned that their lunchboxes had been stolen by the school's stray cats, their anger dissipated.
"Haha, so the culprit was a little kitten. Oh well, it's alright now."
"The poor kittens must not have eaten enough. I will bring them more food when I have time in a few days."
"In that case, the counselor can only accept their bad luck. What can you do when the kitties are so cute?"
"I knew it was impossible for such a disgusting person to come from our school. Thank goodness it wasn't a human, otherwise they would be worse than a dog."
"It seems that Senior Lu Rong's lunchbox is so delicious that even the cat couldn't resist and stretched out its sinful claws."
They all just laughed it off.
