第 12 章：百万 - 美元钻石

中午时分,楚天和江小胖正在从食堂回教室的路上.走廊里,楚天看到林美美站在教室门口,偷偷地四处张望.林美美一看到楚天和江小庞,就赶紧溜回了教室.带着好奇心,楚天和江小胖一起走进了教室.令他们惊讶的是,教室里只有林美梅和张婉江.林美梅和张婉江看到楚天时,似乎都有点不安.他们低着头,假装睡在桌子上,但楚天看得出来,他们其实并不困;事实上,他能感觉到他们急促的呼吸.

楚天没有说什么.他知道这两个人刚才一定在对他下手.突然,他发现自己的书包和书桌被掀翻了.于是,他躺在桌子上,假装睡着了.林美梅和张婉江一直回头看向躺在桌子上的楚天.当他们看到没有反应时,他们逐渐平静下来.趁他们不注意的时候,楚天淡淡地笑了笑,在他的书桌和书包里翻找了一番.果然,在他书包的角落里,他发现了两个极其坚硬的东西.他把它们拿出来拿在手里,然后低声对江小庞说:"小胖,这两样东西是什么?

一直半睡半醒的江小庞看了一眼,瞬间睁大了——清醒过来.他抓住楚天的手,激动地说道:"楚天,这些是钻石!他们值一大笔钱.你从哪里弄来的?江小胖后来才意识到,"一笔财富"对于这两颗钻石来说,是轻描淡写的.

楚天没有表现出任何反应."钻石?值一大笔钱吗?

江小胖微微一愣."这些钻石和珍珠一样,不仅可以用于装饰,还可以增值."

楚天明白了.这些钻石非常珍贵,价值连得要了他的命.这两颗钻石突然出现在他的书包里,清楚地表明有人在试图陷害他.楚天的目光在装睡的林美梅和张婉江身上短暂扫过,刹那间,他明白了很多.

林美梅和张婉江捣乱,李健肯定也卷入了这件事.既然李健是其中的一部分,正如胡彪所提到的,警察可能很快就会出现.已经存在了数千年的卑鄙伎俩,今天即将重演.幸运的是,他不会成为一个受冤枉的受害者.

楚天决定玩这个游戏.

下午的课程开始后不久,一群警察冲进了教室.老师和院长听到这个消息后过来了.班主任张老师跟警察打交道的经验不多,习惯性地问道:"怎么回事?

带队的胖乎乎的警官认真地说道:"昨晚有一家珠宝店被抢劫了.我们收到了一个线索——嫌疑人是你们班上的学生.

院长有点疑惑."学生怎么能从珠宝店偷东西呢?如果是这样的话,要么是珠宝店的治安太差,要么是学生真的很了不起.

胖乎乎的警官摇了摇头."我不知道.我有线索,所以我必须调查.被盗的物品价值连城.

张老师傻傻地问:"什么样的物品?

胖乎乎的警官带着一丝不屑看向张老师,嚣张道:"钻石价值一百万以上.

Everyone gasped. Jiang Xiaopang was so shocked that he "slapped" his hand on the desk. He thought of the two diamonds that Chu Tian had shown him. If those were the stolen diamonds, who knew how long Chu Tian would have to stay in prison. Although Jiang Xiaopang knew that Chu Tian wouldn't steal, he was worried that the kid might have picked them up out of curiosity and got himself into trouble.

Chu Tian remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with him. Lin Meimei and Zhang Wanjiang, on the other hand, glanced at Chu Tian with a sinister look.

Teacher Zhang and the dean clearly intended to protect their students. The dean said in a low voice, "I wonder which student is suspected? Please handle this matter discreetly, officer."

The chubby police officer seemed quite satisfied with the dean and teacher's attitude and finally showed a smile. "Don't worry. We won't make a big fuss about it. We have a definite name, and we know the diamonds are still on him."

Everyone looked at the chubby police officer, eagerly waiting for him to reveal the name of the suspect.

The chubby police officer scanned the whole class with his eyes. Many students involuntarily lowered their heads, as if they were the suspects themselves. Only Lin Meimei and Zhang Wanjiang had smiles on their faces and even made eye contact with the chubby police officer. Chu Tian let out a long breath and watched coldly as the situation developed further.

After receiving signals from Lin Meimei and Zhang Wanjiang, the chubby police officer knew everything was in place. So, he slowly said, "The suspect is Chu Tian."

Chu Tian? Chu Tian!

All those who didn't know the truth looked at Chu Tian in shock. But Chu Tian remained calm, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll in a garden.

Teacher Zhang, the homeroom teacher, immediately became angry. He looked at Chu Tian resentfully, thinking that Chu Tian had shamed the whole class, shamed him, and shamed Tiandu Middle School. He seemed to have already decided that Chu Tian was the culprit. This poor - performing student not only often dragged down the class but also committed theft. If this got out, wouldn't he, the teacher, be laughed at by countless people?

Suddenly, a voice came, "To catch a thief, you need evidence. Everything should be based on evidence. Unless you can prove that it was Chu Tian who did it, you can't jump to conclusions so quickly. Instead, you should clear his name if he's innocent."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liu Zhonghua walking up slowly.

The chubby police officer apparently knew Liu Zhonghua, an influential figure. His attitude improved a lot. "Hello, Mr. Liu. We came here based on a real - name tip - off. The informant also said that the diamonds are still on Chu Tian."

Liu Zhonghua nodded. "Well, you do things according to your rules. I hope you don't let a bad person go, but also don't wrong an innocent person."

The chubby police officer quickly nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Liu, don't worry. We'll definitely follow the procedures."

Then the chubby police officer said to two police officers beside him, "You two search Chu Tian's school bag and his person carefully to see if those two diamonds are there."

The two burly police officers rushed towards Chu Tian, whom Teacher Zhang had pointed out. Chu Tian stood up slowly, still flipping through the legal knowledge book that Jiang Xiaopang had used as a pillow. He said slowly to the approaching police officers, "Stop."

Stop? Stop!

When had the police ever heard a suspect say "stop" to them? Wherever they went, they were unopposed and always successful. Today, a young student actually shouted "stop" at them. Wasn't that a joke?

Everyone, including Liu Zhonghua, looked at Chu Tian in surprise. Was Chu Tian trying to stop the search because he had a guilty conscience and had really stolen the diamonds?

The chubby police officer also walked over and said to Chu Tian, dissatisfied, "What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to stop the police from carrying out their normal duties?"

Chu Tian smiled, waved the legal knowledge book in his hand, and said calmly, "I want to see your search warrant."

Search warrant? The police officers found it a bit ridiculous. A search warrant was usually shown to people of status and position. A young student asking for a search warrant? Wasn't that absurd?

If it weren't for Liu Zhonghua's presence, the chubby police officer would have kicked Chu Tian already. He said coldly to Chu Tian, "We're sure the stolen goods are on you. We don't need a search warrant. Once we find them, you'll know we're right."

Out of habitual thinking, everyone nodded involuntarily.

Chu Tian smiled faintly. "When the police search a citizen's personal belongings without showing a search warrant, it lacks the necessary legal procedures, and thus the search is illegal and unjust. Even if the police find two diamonds on me, the evidence obtained would be invalid, and they couldn't use it to accuse a citizen. I couldn't be convicted either."

Everyone was stunned. Although they were a bit unaccustomed to what Chu Tian said, it seemed to make sense.

The chubby police officer snorted heavily. "Stop quibbling. Get out of the way. Don't interfere with our normal law - enforcement, or we'll arrest you."

Chu Tian shouted, "How dare you! This is stipulated in the national constitution. You actually call this quibbling. Everyone can turn to page 21 of this legal knowledge book to see if what I said is true or just quibbling."
