(潘曉靠近李如真,語氣輕得像在耳邊吹氣)

Pan Xiao leans in toward Li Ruzhen, her voice as light as breath against the ear.

潘曉

「李老師啊……

妳是不是以為,只要跑去調查局,就有人會管妳的事?

天真。

他們的桌上堆滿了跟妳一樣的人。

有幾個活下來?」

Pan Xiao

“Teacher Li…

Do you really think that if you go to the Investigation Bureau, someone will take care of you?

How naive.

Their desks are piled high with people just like you.

How many of them are still alive?”

(她忽然語氣轉得冰冷,眼神直勾勾盯著李如真)

Her voice suddenly goes ice-cold; her gaze pins Li Ruzhen.

「妳家住三民區,對吧?

妳女兒叫李宥芸,今年念小五。

妳知道她這週下課,有幾次在校門口看到一輛黑色的休旅車嗎?

妳以為那只是路過?」

“You live in Sanmin District, right?

Your daughter is Li You-Yun, in fifth grade.

Do you know that this week, several times after school, a black SUV has been waiting at the school gate?

You think that’s just a coincidence?”

(她湊得更近,低聲說)

She moves closer, whispering.

「那些車上坐的,可不是普通人。

是國家檔案裡寫過名字的人——

75叛亂嫌疑犯,不過究竟沒被起訴,現在都變成詐欺集團在外圍站崗。

家長會成員守在學校門口,也許還會陪伴上廁所在廁所窗外好好的關注你呢」

“Those in those cars are not ordinary people.

They’re names that appear in state files — the seventy-five ‘rebellion suspects’ who were never prosecuted and now stand guard on the outskirts as part of a fraud syndicate.

Parent-committee members hover at the school gate; some might even ‘accompany’ you to the restroom, watching from outside the stall window.”

「就是為了讓愛問問題的人,學會閉嘴。

輿論出來,就說是家長就好,沒人會太在意他連續站崗3個月,還偷攝影的」

“That’s to teach those who ask questions to keep their mouths shut.

When it hits the news, you just say ‘parents’ — nobody will mind that someone’s been loitering for three months and secretly filming.”

「監視器3個月不修?

還不簡單!推給廠商就好!」

“The cameras broken for three months?

Easy — blame the contractor.”

(她緩緩微笑)

She smiles slowly.

「不過放心,我沒叫他們對妳女兒怎麼樣。

我只說——

『嚇嚇就好。』

因為只要沒人死亡,新聞也不過兩三天就沒人記得。」

“But don’t worry, I didn’t tell them to harm your daughter.

I only said —

‘Make it scary, that’s all.’

Because as long as nobody dies, the news dies in two or three days.”

(陳瓊文輕輕理了理李如真的衣領)

Chen Qiongwen gently straightens Li Ruzhen’s collar.

「法官評鑑?廉政署?調查局?

妳也太單純。

調查局裡有多少人,是跟檢察官、法官一起吃過飯的?

他們哪會查我們?

他們都想升官,沒人想為了一個老師或幾個兒少,去撞鴿派黨,也去撞鷹派黨。」

“Judicial reviews? The Agency Against Corruption? The Investigation Bureau?

You’re so innocent.

How many in the Bureau have shared dinners with prosecutors and judges?

Why would they investigate us?

They all want promotions — no one’s going to risk clashing with dovish factions or hawkish factions over a single teacher or a few kids.”

(她忽然輕笑,語調幾乎輕飄)

She suddenly gives a light laugh; her tone almost airy.

「妳以為勞動部那個霸凌案,是怎麼消失的?

廉政署、調查局,還不是裝模作樣?

現在輿論過了,誰還查我們在勞動部,拿走的那些社福費用?」

“You think that bullying case at the Ministry of Labor just vanished by itself?

The Anti-Corruption Agency, the Investigation Bureau — they put on a show.

Once the public moves on, who’s going to look into how we took those social welfare funds from the Ministry?”

(陳瓊文盯著李如真的眼睛,語氣忽然壓得極低)

Chen Qiongwen fixes Li Ruzhen with a stare; her voice drops to a low, weighty tone.

「有人出來頂罪就好了。

只要空中飛人沒有人幫忙發聲,

這世界沒有真相,

只有誰先閉嘴、不呼吸。

妳最好想清楚——

要不要讓自己,還有妳女兒,從這個世界上…

悄悄消失。」

“Someone taking the fall is enough.

If there’s no one to speak up for the fallen,

this world has no truth —

only whoever shuts up first, stops breathing.

You’d better decide —

do you want yourself, and your daughter, to…

quietly disappear from this world?”

(潘曉轉身,緩緩離開。背影融入走廊的昏暗。)

Pan Xiao turns and walks away slowly, her silhouette swallowed by the dim corridor.
