“You are not allowed to act like this here in the police station!”
Lucy turned around and got angry with the policeman who verified the evidence. “I can’t act like this? I think you tampered with my recording after taking a bribe!”
Then the policeman suddenly became furious and shouted. “Shut up! I’ll arrest you if you say that again!”
Lucy was completely incredulous, and she believed there was something fishy behind this!
The policeman felt wronged. He played the file on the phone, then amplified it with another device to make sure it didn't go wrong.
But there was nothing but noise, and he had never received any bribe at all.
William wore a well-tailored hand-made suit, which looked extremely expensive. In addition, he had a famous lawyer beside him, so he was definitely not just an ordinary person.
Miss Lucy guessed so because there were countless sons of officials and rich second generations in New York.
But the policeman said, “Miss Green, we are sorry about the result, but we hope that you can be rational.”
He paused for a while and then continued, “And we also questioned the nurses and doctors present at the time. They all said that Dr. William George just performed a regular exam to you. He conducted no indecency. Maybe you were too sensitive because it was a breast examination.”
He stressed the word “breast”.
Lucy flew into a rage, saying, “Was it necessary to pinch and touch me during a breast examination? And to molest me with words? He even restrained my hands!”
Lucy put out her hands, and her wrists were a little red and swollen.
“Look, it’s impossible for me to take turns to pinch my hands myself!”
The policewoman agreed more with Lucy. It seemed that she wasn’t just pretending to be so furious.
“The bruises...” The policeman came over and said, “Can’t be regarded as evidence.”
How could the slight swelling, which could only be seen up close, be regarded as evidence?
“The injuries have disappeared after two hours!” Lucy grabbed William's wrinkled shirt collar again and pulled back.
“Tell me, did you tamper with my sound recording?”
William never touched her cell phone, but her woman’s intuition told her that it must have had something to do with William!
“Do you have any evidence?” Asked William with a poker face.
When the lawyer saw this happened again, he felt scared but still looked serious, saying, “Miss Green, if you don’t let go, I’ll charge you with slander!”
“Accuse me of slander?”
The policewoman worried that Lucy would have to spend the night in jail if she did something improper, so she quickly stopped her and said, “Miss Green, the breast examination was different from the routine one indeed, so maybe it’s because you are too sensitive. And you’re in the police station now. Don't cause too much trouble.”
The policewoman didn’t want to see Lucy be so aggressive, especially with William. William must have had complex background and identity, which could be surmised from the fact that the director had called her to handle it properly. The director’s tone over the phone had been even more surprising to her.
If Lucy fought against William, she would definitely lose.
But the policewoman’s good intentions were misunderstood by Lucy. Her first reaction was that the policewoman had been bribed by William too. “I’m sensitive? I was injured! Tell me which part of the examination requires restricting the patient’s hands!” She shouted.
“But your bruises can't be used as evidence at all, there is no sign of obscenity on your body.” The policewoman replied.
The police value evidences the most, and they don’t care what reporters say or what the victim encountered.
Lucy glared fiercely at William and jumped on him after pushing the police aside.
William had no time to dodge and was thrown on the ground by the ferocious woman.
