Wu Man shook her head.
"Then after you sat down, were you sure you were looking at her table the whole time?"
"Yes."
The middle-aged policeman looked at Zhou Xiang again. "Her words make you somewhat suspicious. Do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, she lied. When I walked in, I saw her head was lowered, so what she said before cannot be used as evidence."
"Then why did you notice her as soon as you walked in?"
"Because when I was checking the exam room yesterday, my desk was in the second row, but today I was in the first row. The boy behind me grumbled, 'I remember I was in the third row, how come I'm in the second row?
So I suspected someone had switched tables, and I started paying attention to everyone behind me. At the time, she was the only one with her head down, so she stood out.
The middle-aged policeman nodded and said to the teacher beside him, "Call the boys in the row behind her later."
The teacher nodded and went out to guard the examination room.
Zhou Xiang ignored the looks from Wu Man and the woman. If looks could kill, he would have died hundreds of times already.
The middle-aged policeman was chatting with Zhou Xiang.
"I heard you're very fast on exams, do you have any tips?"
"Of course! If you know everything, don't think about it. Just pick up your pen and write."
"Hey! Don't be too proud, little girl."
"I'm never proud."
The middle-aged policeman smiled and said, "So, you are very confident about your performance in this exam?"
"Of course, unless the teacher who graded the test has a grudge against me, in that case, I will definitely get full marks."
The middle-aged policeman chuckled and said to the deputy director, "One of you go pick out her test paper and correct it in front of her. You can't correct other girls' papers with hatred in your heart."
The deputy director nodded and walked out of the office.
Zhou Xiang saw a righteous man in his thirties sitting in the seat next to the deputy director, staring at him and observing him.
Zhou Xiang smiled back at him. "I'll let you see it, and can you see anything?" Even if you have X-ray vision, you can't see through my space.
A few minutes later, the deputy director came in with four test papers and a pen and placed them in front of the man.
"Director, please correct it!"
Wow! The young leader!
The director picked up his pen and began to correct the papers.
After a few minutes, a red 120 appeared on the upper left corner of the test paper.
The middle-aged policeman took it and looked at it carefully. "Little girl, I'm not bragging."
"Of course. Only people without ability brag. They brag about themselves to make others think highly of them. People with ability tell the truth."
"Well, you're quite good at talking."
"I don't like what you said. It's derogatory. Can I sue you? I'm suing you for disrespecting me."
“No.”
"Oh! Then can I sue the Education Bureau? Sue them for violating human rights by conducting body searches based on mere suspicion?"
"Sure, go ahead and sue! A lot of parents have made this request anyway!"
"No, I was searched twice. The second time, because this female classmate said the search wasn't thorough enough, I was taken to an empty room and searched thoroughly. I felt humiliated. And this female classmate randomly suspected me and instigated others to search me. Can I sue her? Would she be considered perjury?"
The middle-aged policeman's face was serious. "Were you really searched twice? Were you really taken to an empty room?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "You can ask the deputy director. It was me who requested the police be called! Otherwise, all 200 students would have been searched."
"Nonsense! What qualifications do you have?"
The middle-aged policeman slammed the table and questioned the deputy director.
The deputy director was sweating profusely. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, classmate Zhou Xiang. I'm illiterate. Please forgive me this time. I bow to you."
Zhou wanted to avoid him immediately. "The damage has been done. There's a saying that goes, 'If apologies were useful, what would the police be for?'
I can sense your sincerity, but I want to ask, if you don't call the police and this female classmate continues to identify me, will you still conduct a body search?"
The deputy director's slightly bent back stilled. Although the words were sharp, they were possible under the circumstances at the time.
The middle-aged policeman and the chief glared at the deputy chief, saying it was too much.
The middle-aged policeman looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "You can sue him however you want. I will accept the case immediately."
Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "The reason I said all this is so that you can hear it. I want you police officers to spread this basic legal knowledge, especially regarding body searches.
Since everyone dares to "search people when in doubt", they must have seen similar things often and think that this is right.
But they have no right! Moreover, their actions and words are rude, making the person being searched feel insulted, but they don’t know why, they just feel that it is wrong.
I was only ten years old. If a girl of fifteen or sixteen faced such a thorough body search, would she be ashamed and angry? Would she commit suicide out of shame and anger?
If you publicize this effectively, everyone will be able to use the law as a weapon to protect themselves, and fewer innocent people will be harmed."
The two policemen and the chief applauded.
"Well said, very well said. It was our fault. We have long been accustomed to thinking that law is something that police and lawyers should learn, and ordinary people don't understand and don't need to learn it.
This is a bad habit of ours and we must correct it. When we get back, we will ask the neighborhood committee to spread common legal knowledge."
"Okay, since you've promised me that, I trust that you, a police officer serving the people, will do practical things for them. I won't sue the deputy director and won't add to your workload."
The deputy director immediately bowed again and again, "Thank you, Zhou Xiang. I was wrong. I need to learn some basic legal knowledge and will never do something like this again."
Zhou wanted to dodge quickly, he was planning to bow once, twice, and then again!
The director said angrily, "How can anyone bow like you?"
The deputy director scratched his head and said, "Haha, I was so excited that I forgot. Sorry."
Zhou wanted to stop arguing with the idiot and return to his own position.
At this time, Zhu Qigui was brought in.
Seeing his trembling expression, the middle-aged policeman said to Zhou Xiang, "See? This is normal."
Zhou Xiang sneered, "Just now you said it was a bad habit and needed to be changed, and now it's happened again. It's because you want the people to have this kind of attitude that they want to keep things quiet and not report it to the police."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault."
The middle-aged policeman gestured for Zhu Qigui to sit next to Zhou Xiang.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you a question. When you first entered the exam room today, did you mumble something?"
Zhu Qigui looked at him blankly.
"Table."
Zhu Qigui nodded quickly, "Yes, I saw the table was one row forward. I muttered that I remembered it was the third row. Could I be wrong?"
