Three Women in the Cage

Finally, the officer questioning the police officer got angry and shouted, "Get it straight. This is the police station. We're here to question you, not to make you cry. If you can't explain yourself today, you'll stay here forever."

Hearing his roar, Xinxin was frightened and started crying louder and louder. The police officer who was recording sighed, walked over, and pushed Xinxin to sit down in the lowest seat.

Then he sat back in his seat and comforted Xinxin: "Don't be afraid, we won't make things difficult for you. Just tell us the truth about what happened and you can go home, okay?"

Xinxin looked at the police officer who spoke to her kindly, finally stopped crying, and nodded in agreement.

The recording officer gave the questioning officer a look, and then the questioning officer cleared his throat and said to Xinxin: "Now I ask, you answer, is that clear?"

Xinxin was a little afraid of the police officer who was questioning her, but she also knew that she had to cooperate with him, so she nodded and replied with a sob: "Understood."

"Okay, when your mother attacked someone, where were you? What were you doing?"

The man looked at Xinxin with sharp eyes.

Xinxin quickly lowered her head, twisting her fingers together, and recalling the situation in her mind.

"Raise your head, look me in the eye and answer without avoiding my gaze," the police officer who was questioning ordered bluntly.

Xinxin was startled by his stern voice. She quickly raised her head and looked at him fearfully.

"Speak! Speak carefully!" As soon as I raised my head, the man yelled aggressively.

Xinxin had no choice but to reply in a soft voice: "On...the...floor...upstairs."

"Why didn't you come down? Didn't you hear them fighting?"

"I... am... scared."

"Didn't come down until they finished fighting?"

"After a while, he came down. At that time, he was already... bleeding..." When she said this, she thought of the terrible scene at that time and couldn't help crying again, "Wuwuwu".

The officer ignored her crying and continued to ask: "What happened next? You saw them fighting and the man was bleeding. What did you do?"

Xinxin thought about the time when her mother asked her to hit the man on the back of the head. After hesitating for a while, she hit the man on the back of the head several times.

She touched the back of her hand and felt that it was still numb. She avoided his gaze with a guilty look. Should she tell the truth? Should she say that she did it herself?

As I was hesitating, I suddenly remembered my mother's instructions. No, I can't say it, otherwise I will be implicated. Looking at the police officer who was recording next to me, I became more determined. I can't say it, I absolutely can't say it!

But, if she didn't tell the truth, what was she doing afterwards? How should she answer? She fell into deep thought. She couldn't lie, nor did she have any experience in lying, and she didn't know how to cover up her lies. However, facing the police officer who was questioning her, she couldn't just say nothing.

Before I could come out of my tangled thoughts, the police officer who was questioning me suddenly shouted: "Speak, speak quickly! Don't lie. If you lie, you can't leave here. Not only can you not leave, your mother can't leave either. We will put you in a cell!"

When Xinxin heard that the consequences of lying were so serious, she was so scared that she almost told the truth on the spot. But then she remembered her mother's repeated warnings and instructions. If she told the truth, her future academic career would be tarnished.

She would be called a murderer for the rest of her life, and she didn't want that; it was too horrible.

Just when she was in a dilemma, the police officer who was questioning her pressed on again. Xinxin had no way to retreat and in panic, she couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears. The sound of her cry echoed throughout the interrogation room and made their ears numb.

After a while, Xinxin burst into tears and snot. The police officer who was recording her tears gave her a pack of tissues. She immediately started to cry while sniffling loudly.

Whenever the police officer asked her any more questions, she just kept crying. No matter how he scolded her, she just kept crying.

Because she didn't know what to do except crying!

The two policemen stared at her with wide eyes, and finally had no choice but to ask her where she went to school and who her class teacher was.

Xinxin didn't want to say it, but at the moment, she had no choice but to hope that Teacher Wu could help her.

Soon, the police called Teacher Wu. Teacher Wu was a little surprised when he saw the call from the police station, but he quickly answered it.

"Hello, this is the township police station. Is Zhang Xin a student in your class?"

Upon hearing Zhang Xin, Teacher Wu immediately regained consciousness and said with a hint of anxiety: "Yes, yes, what's wrong with her? What happened?"

"Something happened, please come over!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon. Ask her to wait for me!"

After saying that, Teacher Wu immediately got up from the bed, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed outside!

He couldn't figure out what had happened to Xinxin. Based on what he had learned before, it was probably related to her family.

I just didn't expect it to become so serious that it ended up at the police station in the middle of the night. It seems the situation is very serious.

He hurried over. He knew Xinxin was sensitive, and wondered how she was doing in that situation. After all, she was still a child, how could she bear it...

With anxiety, I finally arrived at the police station. After explaining the situation, I was taken to the interrogation room where Xinxin was.

Seeing Teacher Wu rushing over exhausted, Xinxin's eyes were red. Teacher Wu felt a little distressed when he saw Xinxin with red eyes.

He walked up, patted Xinxin on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Teacher Wu is here..."

Seeing Teacher Wu's worried face, forcing a smile at herself and comforting herself softly, Xinxin couldn't bear it anymore and threw herself into Teacher Wu's arms and cried, "Wow, Teacher Wu..."

This person who cared about her and gave her light, who always wanted to silently guard her, save her, and lead her out of the darkness to welcome the sunshine, she hugged him tightly, like a drowning person who had been floating in the ocean for a long time and finally grabbed a piece of driftwood, struggling to survive, holding on to the only hope, hoping that the person could save her from despair.

However, she was ultimately unable to see the sunlight and could only stay in this dark abyss.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go out. She wants to go out, she is eager to go out. However, the sunlight given by Teacher Wu is too weak, far less intense than the darkness chasing behind her. That weak sunlight will eventually be swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

Can I still live well? My life is so tiring and painful. Is there anyone willing to save me? Save me, a person full of misery and mud?

Holding Xinxin who was crying her heart out, Teacher Wu's eyes also turned red. He understood her grievances and her suffering.

He felt sorry for her and had racked his brains to save her from suffering, but in the end he was weak and his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient!

He was very distressed. It was the first time he experienced this feeling of powerlessness. He wanted to do a lot of things, but he couldn't do anything. The feeling of being unable to do anything made him very distressed.

But now, he will do his best to help as long as he can. This good child must not be ruined like this.

Teacher Wu thought to himself that no matter what, this child should not be tainted.

In the end, it was the police officer who was questioning them who broke the atmosphere. He coughed and said coldly: "Teacher Wu, right? Please sit down. We are working now. Please cooperate with us..."

Teacher Wu wiped his eyes in panic, then turned around pretending to be calm, and said with a polite smile: "Okay, okay, sorry, I will cooperate..."

He patted Xinxin's shoulder and asked her to sit down.

After they were all seated, the police officer who was questioning said to Teacher Wu: "It's like this. We want her to cooperate with us and tell us the real situation at that time truthfully. We need to take a statement, but she has been uncooperative and keeps crying. We can't do our work. I called you here to ask you to persuade her to cooperate with us as soon as possible so that we can finish the work as soon as possible and she can go back earlier, which is good for everyone. Otherwise, if it is delayed like this, no one will be able to go back to sleep peacefully..."
