Three Women in the Cage

Finally, the interrogating police officer said, "The person you injured has a superior in the government. If you don't pay money to appease them, we will be in trouble. We will have no choice but to detain you until they are satisfied."

Yang Yu looked at his slightly threatening eyes and smiled bitterly, "What? Just because he's an official, he's so great? He has relatives in official positions, and he has the protection of officials, so he can do whatever he wants? Aren't you fair? How can you be unfair? Now you're using officials to suppress me?"

The police officer questioning him angrily asked, "You're innocent, you're feeling wronged? You need to understand the situation. You committed the crime first, so you should take responsibility for your actions instead of being unreasonable. This won't benefit you or me. Why complicate things?"

"I'll tell you the truth! They said that if you don't take the money, they will retaliate at any time in the future. If that happens, don't blame us for not reminding you..."

Yang Yu said in disbelief: "Are you threatening on his behalf? Fine, then let him retaliate. Anyway, the justice of you police officers will never belong to us vulnerable people."

The policeman who was questioning you said sternly: "How did I threaten you? I asked you to pay money so that you would avoid trouble later. If they really want to retaliate against you, we can't be around you all the time. If they get hurt or bruised, won't you be the ones who suffer? Now you say I threatened you? I was just thinking about you..."

That man was a bachelor, yet he had someone above him, an official at that. This was the first time Yang Yu had heard of this. She didn't know if these words were made up to scare her or were they true?

Of course she knew that the man wanted to take revenge on her, but she never expected that these words would come from the mouths of the police. Were they threatening her or giving her a kind reminder? She was a little confused.

But there was one thing: these police officers would not stand on the side of the vulnerable groups. She saw it clearly! That was right, they were just ordinary people, with irresistible desires and unchallenged human nature, and human nature was inherently selfish.

They follow their instinctive human nature and do what they believe is fair.

She wondered if she were ever assaulted and called the police, would they seek justice for her? Looking at their youthful faces, their uniforms, their feigned seriousness, she began to feel lost.

Maybe when they take off their uniforms, they are just a group of scoundrels, hanging out with the thieves in the village, drinking and playing drinking games.

Yes, the countryside is so small, and these police officers are just ordinary people nearby. How much justice can they bring!

Therefore, even if you had called the police and asked for justice, I'm afraid no one would have paid any attention!

When the disadvantaged groups ask for justice, there are only a bunch of clauses and regulations to restrict them, requiring this kind of physical evidence and that kind of witness. But who among the villagers will serve as their own witness?

Will they acknowledge the physical evidence, the marks on their bodies? Will they ultimately conclude it was just a fight and let it go?

Yes, who would be willing to offend the whole village just for a weak person like you? Who would do troublesome and thankless tasks for the sake of vain justice?

Those who bully you only need to find someone with connections, have a few drinks, and give them a few cents. Then you will have no chance of getting justice. In the end, you may even be blamed for it, become the target of public criticism, or even be imprisoned.

Yes, who will uphold justice for your sake? The relationships that those sinful people have are beyond your reach, and how can you, a person as humble as dust, hook up with them?

The so-called justice is just a place that provides convenience and shortcuts for the powerful! How could they accept you?

Right! I should have understood it long ago, but only now do I understand it so thoroughly, and my heart is so dead as ashes!

In the end, Yang Yu was locked up in the police station. Until dawn, Xinxin still didn't see her mother.

When she woke up drowsy, she realized that she had fallen asleep in the corner. She looked around and found that her mother had not returned home all night.

Looking out the bedroom door, she saw dried blood in the main room. She suddenly woke up and stood up convulsively. How could she sleep peacefully in such a situation?

She was panicked and at a loss. She walked into the main room in a daze and looked at the mess outside. At this moment, she felt powerless and sad.

She didn't want to clean up the mess at all. She just wanted to see her mother. Yes, only by seeing her mother could she know what to do.

She ran into the bedroom in a panic, put on her schoolbag, and hurried towards the police station, panting as she ran. She had to hurry up and see her mother as soon as possible, otherwise she didn't know how to face it.

When she ran to the police station panting, she found that the door was closed. She knew that her mother must be inside.

She wanted to knock on the door, but she didn't have the courage. She was afraid that the police officers with fierce faces would arrest her.

She slid decadently into the corner of the gate, curled up and waited, waiting for the door to open.

After an unknown amount of time, several police cars approached with sirens blaring. When they saw Xinxin in a miserable state in the corner, a cold voice came: "Hey, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that your mother can't let you go for the time being? Why are you here to make trouble again? I'm telling you, if you interfere with our work, you will be arrested."

The police officer threatened her. Sure enough, Xinxin's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She looked timid and begged with a sob: "How long will it take for you to release my mother? I'm scared at home alone. I don't know what to do. Please release my mother..."

Another voice said: "It's not that we don't want to let your mother go, it's that your mother doesn't cooperate. They said that your mother has to pay the full medical expenses before they will not pursue the matter. We have said all the nice things we can, but your mother just refuses to listen. There is nothing we can do..."

After saying that, he ignored Xinxin's crying at the door, wiped her body, and drove the police car in.

As soon as the police car entered, the door in front of her closed tightly with a "click".

Looking at the tightly closed door, she knew she couldn't get in at all. Thinking about what they had just said, she realized belatedly that she had to pay enough money before they would let her mother go.

But where do I get the money? Who do I ask? How much do I need?

She didn't know, she didn't know anything, what should she do? What should she do?

She only knew that this couldn't happen, that her mother couldn't be locked up forever. But she really didn't know how to bail her mother out.

She thought desperately, trying to think of a way, but no matter how hard she thought, there seemed to be no solution. She suddenly burst into tears at the door, crying and shouting "Mom..."

I don’t know how long I cried at the door, the three words “Teacher Wu” suddenly appeared in my mind. Yes, find Teacher Wu, he is the only one I can find. He was able to bail me out yesterday, so he can definitely bail my mother out today.
