Chapter 8: Police Station
"You said you had stopped her, right?"
"Yes."
"In addition to stealing fireworks, she also robbed a passerby's lighter, right?"
"That's right."
"Finally, you said before that the suspect Jin is a figure of unknown origin, and the relationship between you and her is only a relationship between raising and being raised, is that true?"
"Right...... Oh no, I'm still a kid, I didn't say I was going to raise her! ”
Inside the police station, I sat numbly in a chair in the interrogation room, the dim fluorescent lamps projecting the iron fence in front of me on me, while the walls and ceilings on both sides and behind me were as pale as my face. At this time, I had not yet recovered from what had happened yesterday, and early this morning, before I could wake up, several men in police uniforms came knocking on my door.
"Then since you said that you didn't raise her, but according to the neighbors, this Jin has been living in your rental house all along, and besides, she can't even find her ID card, household registration and any other relevant documents, we now have the right to suspect that she is a black household, and the connection between you and her may not be so simple."
"I can't say a word or two, all I know now is that she's a disaster." I slammed my head on the table and almost cried. Growing up so big, although he doesn't study well, but at least he abides by the law, and if his family and relatives know that he was brought into the police station, he will have no face to see people in the future.
At this moment, a policeman walked up to the policeman who was interrogating me and whispered something in his ear, only to see the policeman who interrogated me nod thoughtfully.
"Mu Fei, there is good news and bad news here, which one to listen to first?" The police asked.
"Feel free to do it, it doesn't matter." In my opinion, the good news is not necessarily good, but the bad news is necessarily bad.
The two policemen looked at each other, and the policeman who interrogated me said, "The good news is that Jin confessed to his illegal acts and admitted that he was the only person responsible for this disturbing public order, which means that you can go back." ”
"Really?" When the police said this, I almost jumped out of my chair, but the chairs in the interrogation room were restricted. I was really surprised and surprised, I was surprised that I didn't have to squat, and the surprise was that Jinx, a crazy, didn't pull me into the water, but took responsibility for it alone.
"Don't be in a hurry to get excited, isn't there any bad news about this?" The policeman glanced at me, sneered, and then continued: "The bad news is that in this incident, Jin smuggled all the fireworks and set them off indiscriminately, although he did not destroy the nearby public property and did not hurt passers-by, but it still caused serious economic losses to ** and the sponsors, and you are currently the only one who retains custody of her, so you still have to pay for this money." As he spoke, a policeman handed me a list.
I took the list, ignoring the large pile of words on it, and turned my gaze directly to a long series of numbers, counting with trembling hands: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, ......
As if I was afraid that I had made a mistake, I repeated it several times, and after confirming it, I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss—a total of 238,645 yuan, which should be compensated, and I should really go bankrupt.
"However, in view of your family's financial situation, as well as your personal performance is relatively good, and you have no illegal record and criminal record, we will actively communicate with the city** and relevant sponsors, and this money can be returned by you in the form of interest, unpaid labor, loans, etc." Mom, even if it is paid back little by little, but this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, I thought to myself. Although the main responsibility for the accident did not fall on me in the end, given the special relationship between Jinx and me, I still couldn't get out of it in the end.
Next, the police finally explained something to me, and then told me that Jinx's behavior was a disturbance of public order, and that he would be sentenced to half a month's imprisonment, at least. After that, I was given an ideological education, and then I was asked to sign a few documents before it was over. At this moment, Jinx walked over, a pair of handcuffs on her slender wrists, and was detained by two police officers, but Jinx seemed to be much more optimistic, humming a small tune in her mouth, and looking happy. I walked up to Jinx and said to her earnestly, "You must obey discipline when you go in, you can't do it like this again, you know?" Jinx Chick nodded like a peck, but looked at me with an innocent expression, and it seemed to me that she hadn't realized her mistake yet.
"Thirsty, thirsty......" Suddenly, Jinx's eyes began to roll, her pace began to be unsteady, and her small mouth opened and closed, like a fish out of water. This move: "Has she had symptoms of dehydration before?" "When a police officer asked me, I shook my head, and my head was full of small question marks.
"Xiao Wang, bring a cup and bring her some tea." The fat policeman in custody said to another policeman on the side. The officers helped Jinx to a chair and sat down, and the policeman quickly poured tea from the kettle. "Be careful, blow and drink again, the water is still hot." The fat cop said, bringing the water to Jinx's mouth, however, at this time, Jinx gasped, as if to sneeze.
"Ahh Without waiting for everyone to react, Jinx sneezed loudly, squirting out the cup and spraying it on the fat policeman's face, making the fat policeman scream. Immediately afterward, Jinx slammed the cup against another police officer who was holding her, followed by a crisp thud and the cup was shattered.
"Haha, I didn't expect that! You slivers! Jinx grimaced at the officers.
"This is a crazy woman! Get her under control! A police officer shouted.
"You can't catch me!" Jinx continued to taunt, and then ran towards the door of the police station. However, just as he was about to escape, a light and shadow knocked Jinx to the ground.
I saw the fat policeman pull out an electric baton and knock Jinx to the ground. "What a shameless woman!" The fat policeman said angrily with two lumps of flesh on his face, and he didn't seem to intend to give up as he saw Jinx fall to the ground with a pained expression. Immediately afterward, he energized the electric baton and went towards Jinx without saying a word. "Ahh Jinx screamed in pain from the shock, and then staggered to the corner, her face full of horror.
"Lao Tzu is kind enough to pour water for you, huh?" The fat policeman was angry and rushed to the head, and didn't seem to care about Jinx's pain, followed by another blow with an electric baton, which made Jinx scream in pain, she curled up desperately in the corner, turned her head over, and put two long braids on the ground, I could tell from her eyes that Jinx seemed to have an inexplicable fear of electric shocks.
"Let you taste the taste of electric shock again......" There was no trace of pity for Jinx, and seeing another blow of the electric baton towards Jinx, Jinx subconsciously buried his head in his chest.
"Uncle policeman, please don't hit her!" When it was too late, I grabbed the fat policeman's hand. "Okay, Lao Zhang, it's almost done!" At this time, an old policeman on the side said. The fat policeman slowly lowered his hand.
"Let me tell you, Mu Fei, if Director Tang hadn't helped you speak this time, you would have squatted like that crazy woman a long time ago!" At this moment, the fat policeman turned his head to me and shouted at me with a glare. Director Tang is a relative of my brother Tang Feng, who happens to be the director of a police station in Z City, where we are in college, although we have not met much, but Tang Feng has been holding several of our brothers in front of him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has his help this time.
"Alright, Jinx, it's okay, come out!" I walked up to Jinx and comforted her, but Jinx still had a look of horror on her face.
"Trust me, no one will hurt you, but you have done something wrong, you must correct it." Jinx slowly raised her head, and the horror on her face gradually disappeared. Immediately afterward, two police officers led her into a room where they were going to take Jinx to detention the next day. Jinx looked back at me like an insecure little sister. "It's going to be fine!" I nodded and gave her a smile, "When you come out, I'll treat you to something delicious!" As soon as he finished speaking, Jinx disappeared from my sight.
Walking out of the gate of the police station, I couldn't relax at all. Looking up at this gray sky, as far as the eye can see, it is like this indemnity, so that I can't see the end of it at a glance. It was already evening when I returned home, and after tossing and turning at the police station for a long time, I was stuck on the bed, what happened at yesterday's lantern festival and what I encountered at today's police station, one scene after another appeared in my mind like a movie projection, and an unprecedented depression inexplicably surged into my heart, making me feel short of breath.
If I had been studying hard since I entered college and not playing games, would I not have had so many things today, not only am I in danger of being expelled from school now, but I also need so much money to make such a fuss, thinking about my hard-earned parents and families who are not wealthy, I really don't know how to deal with them. I closed my eyes, and my thoughts were entwined in my heart, and gradually, in this chaotic whirlpool, my consciousness seemed to be sucked into the bottomless whirlpool by an invisible force, and I don't know how long it took for me to finally come to the bottom of the whirlpool, and it was pitch black all around, and I didn't even know what the pitch black under my feet would be. At this moment, a little light appeared directly in front of me, and I walked towards the light in the distance, and at this moment, a heart-rending scream came into my ears, and the sound was like the sound of Jinx being electrocuted.
Gradually, I got closer and closer to that little light, and at this moment, the light suddenly became clear, and the scene in front of me made my pupils contract. I saw that Jinx was tied to a torture bed, and the fat policeman was desperately torturing her with an electric baton, looking at Jinx's painful appearance, the fat policeman had an evil smile on his face. Suddenly, a myriad of lights suddenly lit up all around, and the lights focused me and the tortured Jinx while I watched her being tortured......
"Ahh At this point, I screamed and jumped out of bed. At this time, the lights in the room were not turned off, and the fans were still "whirring". It turned out that all this was just a nightmare. I got out of bed, but I couldn't calm down for a long time, how is Jinx now? Although I was not involved, I began to worry about Jinx at this time, after all, she was from another world, and she didn't know a lot of things. Thinking of this, I put on my clothes and decided to visit Jinx in the detention center.
"It's so late, and I'm still visiting the prison." When I came to the detention center, it was late at night, and according to the regulations, I could not visit the prison at this time, but I was still cheeky and said nothing, and I also put my heart into stuffing a bag of Chinese with the guarding police, and the police on night duty only gave me just five minutes. Five minutes was enough for me, though.
Follow the police into the cell of the detention center, where only dim lights reflect on the walls of the disastrous detention, which was built relatively early and looks old and dilapidated, like a scene from a ghost movie.
"Huh? What's going on. At this moment, the police officer leading the way in front suddenly shouted in surprise. I followed the policeman's gaze and was shocked by the scene in front of me - the lock of the cell door was unlocked, the room was empty, and the police had told me that it was here that Jinx was being held, and a word immediately crossed my mind - prison escape.
In an instant, the sirens sounded......
