Chutian Golden Newspaper report: A reporter named Han Bo reported that because a new mobile phone was stolen while taking the late-night bus, after the demand to drive the bus to the police station was rejected, the owner of the lost item requested to search the bodies of passengers before they got off. After this request was met, the mobile phone was still not recovered. On the evening of the 15th, a fourth-year student surnamed Wang who was taking bus No. 581 back to Guanggu in Wuchang witnessed the entire process of "finding the mobile phone". His instant Weibo post about the "body search" also sparked heated discussions among many netizens. Wang, a student at Hubei University of Technology, told reporters that at around 9 p.m. on the 15th, he took a No. 581 bus at Jianghan Road Station in Hankou and was preparing to return to Guanggu in Wuchang. At around 9:50 p.m., when the bus stopped at the Wuchang Street Mouth station, a large number of passengers suddenly surged on board, filling the originally empty bus completely. After waiting for about ten minutes, the bus did not start. Wang finally learned that a young girl had discovered her newly purchased Samsung mobile phone was missing after getting on the bus at Street Mouth Station. "She used the driver's phone to call her own, it was just connected and then hung up, later others simply turned it off." Wang indicated that due to the lateness of the hour, the passengers on the bus unanimously demanded that the driver quickly drive away. The girl, however, required the driver to go directly to the police station, which was subsequently rejected by other passengers. In a difficult situation, the driver could only slowly drive, awaiting the outcome. Seeing that the matter was becoming entangled, many passengers on the bus started to give up, demanding the bus to stop. The girl firmly prevented this, drawing dissatisfaction from some passengers, and a female passenger whose child was sick angrily got off the bus amidst complaints. The girl then stated that getting off was fine, but she must be allowed to search their bodies first. Although the request was unreasonable, since it was almost 11 p.m., under helplessness, quite a few passengers voluntarily opened their bags for her inspection. Ultimately, after searching over a dozen passengers near the front door without success, the girl got off the bus dejectedly at Huacheng Xindu Station. Yesterday, reporters contacted Wang, the driver on duty that night for bus No. 581. He said that the girl borrowed his phone to report the incident to the police, indicating that the new mobile phone was a gift from her boyfriend on Valentine's Day, thus having significant meaning, causing her emotional distress upon discovering its loss. "We all sympathize with her, but such body searches indeed make people feel awkward," Driver Wang said.
