I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag
Chapter 184 Knowing the Law and Breaking it
Li Meide looked at everyone in the classroom with sharp eyes.
His trick might be useful against ordinary people.
But those sitting here now are prosecutors sent by various procuratorates to study. They are either elites or newcomers who are more promising.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some of them came in through the back door, but those who can come in through the back door have good backgrounds, so how could they be scared by Li Meide's look.
Li Meide saw that his eyes hadn't had the desired effect, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He then said seriously, "Hello everyone. Some of you may know me, while others may not. Now let me introduce myself."
"My name is Li Meide, and I'm in charge of the security of the entire base."
"Perhaps some people are curious about what I, a security officer, am doing here. Am I, a security officer, qualified to give you a lecture?"
"To be honest, I don't deserve it. The reason I'm standing here is because something horrific happened in our base."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What was this horrifying thing?
Li Meide continued, "This incident is about a theft that occurred within the base."
"It's been over a decade since the establishment of the prosecutor training base, and there hasn't been a single theft case. That's because the people who come here are all prosecutors, and they know what theft is."
Everyone looked at each other again and talked in low voices.
"What's lost here?"
"Who would think of stealing something?"
"Knowing the law and breaking it is an even greater crime."
"I just wonder what on earth is lost that would make a prosecutor risk being discovered and fired to do something like this."
Li Meide saw everyone's reaction and nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the reaction he wanted. Then he said, "Comrade Xiao Zhima, tell me, what did you lose?"
A round-faced, chubby young man came up. Zhang Hao had no impression of this person.
After all, there were nearly a hundred people attending the training this time, and Zhang Hao really couldn't remember them all except for the few who often answered questions.
Xiao Zhima stood up in front of everyone and said, "Classmates, I lost a jade pendant. This jade pendant was left by my mother before she died. After she passed away, it was my only thought. If anyone has it, please return it to me. This is my mother's only relic, wuwu."
As she spoke, tears kept flowing out of her eyes and she kept wiping them with her hands.
When others saw it, they felt sad.
Li Meide said, "Students, have you heard this? Whoever took it, please return it to Comrade Xiao Zhima."
"This is very important to Comrade Xiao Zhima. Moreover, this jade pendant is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is a huge amount of theft. If it is returned, we can resolve it privately. If we find it, then we can only hand it over to the police."
Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Comrade Xiao Zhima, if this jade pendant is so important to you, why do you keep it in your dormitory instead of carrying it with you?"
Upon hearing this, the others nodded, thinking that what Zhang Hao said made some sense. Who wouldn't carry such an important thing with them?
Xiao Zhima explained, "Yesterday when I was showering, I took the jade pendant off and placed it on the bedside table. When I left this morning, I saw it and wanted to put it on, but when I saw that class was almost over, I planned to go back to the dormitory at noon to put it on. Unexpectedly, when I got back, I found that the jade pendant was gone."
Li Meide said: "Now is not the time to dwell on this. What's important now is that whoever took the jade pendant, please hand it over."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
Li Meide nodded and said, "Okay, since no one has stepped forward, don't blame me for being ruthless. From morning till noon, is there anyone who isn't in the classroom attending classes?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Hao at the same time, because everyone knew that Zhang Hao would skip Hong Ziyi's class.
Zhang Hao saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he realized that something was wrong.
If I'm not mistaken, this is coming for me.
There had been no movement these past few days, and I thought Ji Xiangrong had given up on targeting me, but I didn't expect that he was holding back for something big.
But everyone knew he was not in class, so there was no point in saying anything, so he stood up and said, "I'm not here."
Li Meide's gaze fell on Zhang Hao and he said, "Comrade Zhang Hao, as a prosecutor, you should know what theft is. The amount of money involved is huge, enough to keep you in jail for several years."
"Hand over the things now. Considering that this is your first offense, I can give you a suspended sentence."
When Lan Hai heard this, a look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on his face. What did this mean?
Just as she was about to stand up to protest, Zhang Hao held her down. He stood up and said, "Li Meide, right? I want to ask you, how can you be sure that I am the thief? Is it just because I wasn't in class? Couldn't it be that someone at your base took it?"
The others nodded. They were all prosecutors and knew very well that in order to determine whether a suspect had committed a crime, they had to find sufficient evidence.
How can it be proven based on the mere evidence that Zhang Hao was not in class?
What's more, there are not only them in this base, but also a bunch of cleaners and security guards who are doing the cleaning.
"It couldn't have been a staff member of the base, because all the staff members of the base were called to a meeting in the morning and had no time to commit the crime," said Li Meide.
Zhang Hao scoffed at this.
Are you all going to the meeting?
So what do you say to the aunt who comes to clean your room?
Of course, even if I bring it up, I'm afraid Li Meide has a solution.
"Okay, the staff is having a meeting, so won't anyone else sneak in?" Zhang Hao said.
Li Meide replied, "That's impossible, because our security guards are always guarding the gate and will never let anyone in."
Zhang Hao's mouth flickered with a playful expression when he heard this, and he said, "So you mean to confirm that the thing is mine."
Li Meide didn't say anything, which was equivalent to his agreement.
Xiao Zhima pleaded with tears streaming down her face, "Zhang Hao, please, give me back the jade pendant. This is the only thing my mother left me. Please."
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of Zhang Hao and even began to kowtow.
Now many people looked at Zhang Hao with eyes full of suspicion.
"Zhang Hao, if you took the things, return them to Xiao Zhima."
"Yes, Xiao Zhima is too pitiful, give it back to him."
"Zhang Hao, as a prosecutor, how can you knowingly break the law?"
