It seemed he was wearing a casual grey windbreaker, but if I was a criminal, I would spot him out as police from far away. His feelings were all written over his face, and if that wasn’t suspicious enough, he’s wearing a windbreaker when it’s so hot outside.
“What are you holding in your hands?” Constable Ma asked.
I snorted: “Is it any of your concern?” I then hid the bag behind my back. Condoms might not be illegal, but it’s still pretty awkward to be caught with them by a police officer at school.
I tried to walk around Constable Ma, but he stopped me again.
I couldn’t help but get mad.
“Hey, do you have a search warrant to come search through my things at school? Do you have an arrest warrant? My friend had Weibo, careful I might blog about this and cause pandemonium among the counter narcotics team.”
The ‘friend with Weibo’ I was referring to was Eunuch Cao. He and Director Cao shared one Weibo account in order to promote their short film series, but they also join in in popular discussions.
Along with the widespread use of cameras in phones, and the influence of bloggers, a lot of government officials don’t dare to wear good watches or drive good cars. Constable Ma furrowed his brows against threats of someone who had a blogger’s support.
“I came to 28 Middle because I heard rumors of illegal organizations making minors sell ecstasy at discos or KTV…”
“Don’t suspect me. Do you think I can be a salesman with my appearance?”
Constable Ma inspected me for a while, “True, you’re not amiable enough to be a salesman, but too young to be one of the higher ups.”
I waved my hand, “So that solves it. I think you’re going crazy by thinking of ways to put me away, I’m going to leave if you have nothing else.”
“Wait.” Constable Ma blocked me with his arm and showed his badge out of routine, then he said, “I might not have an arrest warrant, but there’s another case that’s definitely related to you and needs your assistance. I suspect you’re involved with the streaking incident.”
Strea… streaking? I don’t sleep walk or get drunk, so why would I be involved in a streaking case? He must be trying to frame and slander me. Constable Ma, I thought you were a man since you fought head on against drug traffickers, but you threw away your baseline as a police office and made up evidence just to catch me.
Constable Ma said in a monotone voice: “Yesterday at two in the afternoon, in a certain park for the elderly in the eastern district, there were two young men who took off all their clothes without warning and caused a bad influence on society…”
Constable Ma didn’t argue with me. Instead, he pulled out his phone and showed me three different picture.
The first picture, a certain young man with white skin was running around happily naked.
The second picture, another young man with darker skin was also running around happily naked.
The third picture, the fair and dark skin young men were pressed to the brick ground by police officers, but they still had proud expressions.
I shifted my gaze with a guilty conscience.
I didn’t recognize those two young men, but the two of them were both hugging blow up dolls when they were running around naked. Aren’t those the ‘Nancy’ dolls my store sold recently? That’s why I said no one would actually get hard from those ugly dolls, as expected they were used as props.
Constable Ma was satisfied with my expression.
“It looks like you already admit you were the one who sold them those two inflatable dolls.”
“So what? As sellers, we only guarantee good quality and a fair price while treating all customers equally. As for what the customer does with the products they buy is none of our concern! If someone buys a hammer at a hardware store and kills someone, are you saying the hardware store owner will also be sentenced?”
My response left Constable Ma speechless and he put away his phone, then said:
“I was giving you a reminder that there were foreign cases where they shipped drugs inside inflatable dolls. If you deliberately provide criminals with tools, then it’s a serious crime.”
What, he clearly was only passing by 28 Middle. It’s not like streaking was a criminal case, but he still had to come and give me a verbal warning. Is it because Constable Ma isn’t comfortable until he sees my face?
Being interrogated by police in casual clothing wasn’t something the students of 28 Middle could witness frequently.
But they weren’t surprised that I was the one being questioned, since in most students’ eyes, I have already killed numerous people.
The less brave students, would purposely slow down as they passed by to hear what crime I committed again.
The more brave students would stop and watch from a distance before they ran away after I glared at them.
What was unexpected was Gong CaiCai also stopped when she saw me being questioned. She leaned against the wall as she watched us with her large eyes that was filled with curiosity.
She blushed when Constable Ma mentioned ‘streaking’.
She had not reaction when Constable Ma mentioned ‘inflatable dolls’, it seems she didn’t know what it was.
Gong CaiCai’s face turned even redder when she saw the pictures on Constable Ma’s phone.
Don’t watch if you’re face is going to turn so red! You’re supposed to be a good kid in they eyes of parents and teachers, but now you’re going to turn bad after hearing this.
Constable Ma also felt a bit awkward with a big breasted innocent girl watching. He couldn’t get any information out of me, so he waved his hand and said, “You may leave.”
Hmph, at least say “Thank you for your cooperation” like they do in dramas.
I let my guard down and before I took a full step, Constable Ma blocked my way again.
More importantly, his left hand touched the plastic bag and he tried to feel what was inside.
I was already afraid of the class leader while carrying the bag of condoms, but now when I got scared by Constable Ma, I unconsciously pulled the bag back. Constable Ma noticed my guilty demeanor and held onto the bag without letting go.
During this struggle, the weak plastic bag ripped in half.
A total of 50 condoms was tossed into the sky and fell back down like raining petals.
Gong CaiCai was not standing in a good spot as the condoms fell onto her head, shoulders, and breasts.
Gong CaiCai’s natural reaction was to cover her head and squat down. Initially, she didn’t notice what happened and didn’t know she was ‘baptized’ by condoms. When it was over, Gong CaiCai raised one of the square packages and her faced turned crimson red when she saw the logo.
Even Gong CaiCai has heard of Durex from TV commercials.
Constable Ma thought I was desperately trying to hide ecstasy, but was greatly disappointed when it was only condoms.
Gong CaiCai, who was squatting on the ground, removed the condom from her head with her trembling hands. Then she flung it on the ground without even looking at it like it was a narcotic.
Although there weren’t a lot of people in the hallway, there were still people who saw Gong CaiCai’s embarrassing state. The girls who usually envied Gong CaiCai all ridiculed her from a distance. Gong CaiCai sniffled and began to weep quietly.
“Sob sob… sob sob…”
Gong CaiCai’s weeps that was like a small animal’s cries, instigated sympathy from all males. Constable Ma and I simultaneously asked Gong CaiCai: “Are you okay?”
I’m not sure if our question made her feel even worse, but she began to cry louder.
Gong CaiCai, who was showered with condoms, cried loudly as she squatted on the ground. Out of good will, I helped Gong CaiCai remove a condom from her hair and stuffed it into my pocket.
Constable Ma also helped remove a condom from her shoulder, but after he inspected it, he might have had suspicions I was using condoms to transport drugs.
“I was only in a hurry to deliver my customer’s order of condoms.” I criticized Constable Ma, “It’s because you were suspicious and caused psychological damage to a young girl. I’m going to tell my friend to make a post about how you humiliated a young girl as the captain of the criminal police.”
Constable Ma was a bit afraid of my threat. Although he had a clear conscience, if there was an uproar and he was temporarily suspended, then it would affect his counter narcotics duties.
“I’m really sorry.” Constable Ma apologized to Gong CaiCai and put his all in helping her remove the condoms.
With our join efforts, we quickly removed all the condoms from Gong CaiCai’s body. The only one we missed was the one resting between Gong CaiCai’s valley. It was in a sensitive spot, so neither of us touched it.
“It’s okay.” Gong CaiCai didn’t notice the one stuck between her breasts and replied to Constable Ma’s apology, “It’s… because I’m too squeamish. It wasn’t respectful for me to stand here and listen in to your conversation either…”
A condom fell out from the creases of Gong CaiCai’s skirt as she stood up. If you weren’t paying attention, it would have seemed like the condom dropped out from inside her skirt leading to inappropriate thoughts.
“Gong CaiCai, your… your chest…” I used my fingers and pointed it out to Gong CaiCai. She then finally noticed what was on her chest. It frightened her like it was a bug and she sent it flying with all her strength.
The class leader had heard Gong CaiCai’s cries and walked out of the classroom. The condom Gong CaiCai sent flying flew straight towards the class leader.
