Chapter 160

The officer blinked in surprise.

With clear enunciation, Cordelia slowly said, “When I walked in, I discovered that this place was mistreating students. They have a bunch of dunk tanks in the yard, and many teachers, just like this homeroom guy here, were holding the kids down, dunking them underwater. It’s not just Merry, but all the students in this school.”

The officer was taken aback, “That’s happening here?”

Cordelia nodded, “Yes, that’s why I rescued Merry, but I could only get her out. There are hundreds more waiting for your salvation.”

Hearing this, the officers‘ expressions turned grave, “This is serious, and we must open an investigation immediately.”

The principal was beside himself, “What on earth are you saying? You’ve really gone all out to skip school. This is absurd!”

Cordelia pointed toward the school entrance, her thoughts crystal clear, “I forgot to record it, but those dunk tanks inside are evidence, along with the abused students. Do you dare let the police enter for evidence collection right now?”

The headmaster fumed, “Our school is an upright institution, established to help misdirected children get back on track. How can we just let the police in? What about our reputation?”

Cordelia remained silent, looking at the officers.

The officer furrowed his brow, lowering his voice to explain to Cordelia, “We need a warrant to proceed with the search. If your claims are correct and the principal denies us entry, we would have to wait until the paperwork comes through.”

Cordelia’s brow tightened.

By then, who knows what else might transpire at the school?

The officer then turned to the headmaster with a sense of duty, “Mr. President, since this student has made allegations, and she claims to have witnessed it, why not let us have a look around? It would also prove your school’s innocence.”

The headmaster frowned, “Officer, kids these days are hard to manage and rebellious to boot. If every time someone calls the cops, you want to search our school and disrupt classes, what will become of our institution?”

The officer’s brow furrowed as well. But without a search, he couldn’t be at peace.
