It was a cold day and Xiaoman wasn’t wearing very thick clothes. Adding that to the fact that she had cried a few times today, her eyes and nose had all gone red.
There were tear marks on her round face, and small droplets of tears were clinging onto her thick and long eyelashes. Her mouth pouted as if she wanted to cry but did not. She looked very scared with her little hands clasped together tightly.
That was what they saw when the police arrived.
The little child was crying so miserably, wrenching the hearts of everyone who saw her.
Someone immediately took out a handcuff and said menacingly to the shopkeeper, “Is it you? Did you kidnap the child?”
The owner was really scared. He waved his hand again and again and explained, “Comrade policeman, it has nothing to do with me, I’m just a shopkeeper. The call to the police just now was on my phone. Ask the kid what’s going on. It’s also the first time I heard of this.”
Jiang Xiaoman said pitifully, “Mr. Policeman, Mr. Shopkeeper is not a bad guy. The bad guy is in my house.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Xiaoman told them the situation roughly, and then took them to her house.
When the group arrived, Hong Xingguo was still trying to figure out how to open the fence.
The fence was locked very tight.
Fragrance was a clever pig. If the lock was too simple, then it would’ve been able to unlock it with its nose.
“It’s him, he’s the big villain!” Jiang Xiaoman had found a backing and instantly felt more confident. She pointed to Hong Xingguo and blablabla started talking non-stop like she was pouring beans out. She told them of her experience over the past two days.
“Wuu wuu wuu, he’s really bad. He used to beat Grandma every day, and every New Year’s, he would come to my house to ask for food and money. This year, he took advantage of Grandma not being home and gave me candy to try and kidnap me. Grandma said that I must not take candies from strangers so I didn’t eat it, so he made me faint instead. When I woke up, I was already far away from home. He said that he wanted to sell me for money and was angry when I cried. He wouldn’t even give me a single bite of instant noodles.”
The police glared and looked at Hong Xingguo with darkened faces.
Hong Xingguo was anxious, his legs trembling. He made a dry laugh and said, “Comrade policemen, don’t listen to children’s nonsense. I’m the kid’s Granduncle, not a kidnapper. I’m a good citizen, how could I do such a thing? I just wanted to take the child to her real parents, I wasn’t trying to sell her…”
There were often people who made a police report for trivial things and made a lot of fuss. The police looked at Jiang Xiaoman again, waiting for her to explain.
Jiang Xiaoman was furious.
She might look like she was continuously crying on the outside, but on the inside she tried to think calmly.
“Hmph!” She said, “I still remember where your car was parked! If you don’t believe me, why don’t we take a look at it? Everything will become clear! There are a set of sacks to cover someone’s head in it, as well as the things you used to trick and abduct me! Don’t think that your sweet words can fool people. The Mr. Policemen are not that stupid! And even if you are my Granduncle, is it still not a crime if someone’s relative commits a crime?”
After hearing this, the police immediately handcuffed Hong Xingguo and took him away.
Hong Xingguo’s eyes sharpened as he said angrily, “Comrade policemen! How can you listen to a child’s nonsense? You’re not properly differentiating between right and wrong! She’s just a child, how can you believe her words?”
“Whether there was a crime or not, please come to the station first to make a statement.”
Another policeman picked up Xiaoman. Looking at the tear marks on her face, he wiped it away and said, “Little girl, you’re pretty knowledgeable. You even know about relatives committing crimes, very professional.”
“Your parents taught you well.” Hey, it was the system who taught her.
“Let’s come with Uncle to make a statement?”
“Okay.”
A total of two police cars came. Hong Xingguo was impounded in one, and the other one carried Jiang Xiaoman.
Hong Xingguo didn’t realize how serious things were until he had been locked inside the car and taken away. Only then did he start feeling afraid. His darkened face turned pale like ash.
