I don’t know how long it took, but a voice sounded in my ear: “Rat, rat?”

My consciousness slowly came back to me, and I saw Ye Zhan squatting beside me, shaking my shoulders.

I sighed deeply and asked, "How is Taozi?"

"Brother Li was just here to talk to you about this." Ye Zhan moved aside and Brother Li appeared behind him.

I sat up and looked at Brother Li, my body trembling slightly again. "It's okay." Brother Li said, "Taozi is fine, she just took sleeping pills. When Taozi wakes up, we will take a statement from her, and then you can take her back."

I suddenly fell to the ground. Even though the floor was cold, I still felt like I was in a warm spring. I was warm from my scalp to my toes. The feeling of surviving a disaster can never be described in words.

"Hehehe..." Ye Zhan rubbed my shoulders: "Are you relieved now? Taozi is fine, hehe, Taozi is fine."

Su Wan was also very happy beside me, patting her chest and saying, "I'm so scared, so scared." Liu Zihong and the others came over to pull me up, and everyone's faces were relaxed. Compared to all the worries before, this was the best result.

But I still felt a bit worried. I asked, "Where's Su Xiaobai?"

The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Brother Li. Brother Li said, "I have taken a statement. Su Xiaobai said that he saw Taozi walking alone on the road in the morning, feeling depressed, so he went over to ask her what was wrong. Taozi didn't tell him, so Su Xiaobai got anxious and pulled Taozi, wanting to take her to the movies..."

"Listen to his lies!" I yelled, "Why did you bring peaches home? What about the sleeping pills?"

Ye Zhan and the others also said, "Yes, yes, Su Xiaobai is talking nonsense. Don't believe him. He is not a good person."

Brother Li said, "Don't worry, just listen to me. Based on my experience, Su Xiaobai probably didn't lie, and he didn't have the guts to lie. Su Xiaobai did want to take Taozi to the movies, but Taozi refused and kept struggling to go back to school. But Taozi wasn't the kind of girl who would yell in the street, which made Su Xiaobai mistakenly think there was hope. The street cleaner can testify to this, she thought it was just an ordinary couple quarreling."

Brother Li paused and continued, "Su Xiaobai was stronger than Taozi, so he kept pulling Taozi forward. Taozi later showed a violent reaction and started to hit Su Xiaobai. Su Xiaobai also got anxious and told her that there was nothing good about Wang Hao, as he was already with Xia Xue and so on. Taozi seemed to be hit hard when she heard this, and she became a little dazed. Su Xiaobai continued to pull her along, and they happened to arrive at his doorstep, so Su Xiaobai took Taozi home. During the whole process, Taozi did not show any objection, but her eyes were always dazed, which is called 'hysteria' in medical terms."

Su Wan nodded and said, "Taozi is often like this in the dormitory. She would fall into a state of dementia when she was fine. Especially when we accidentally mentioned Wang Hao's name, Taozi would even be in a state of dementia for a long time. We had to call her several times to wake her up."

Ye Zhan sighed: "Haozi, Taozi really loves you deeply. I'm afraid you won't be able to get over it for a while."

After hearing this, I felt even more guilty. Brother Li continued, "Su Xiaobai brought Taozi home, and Taozi suddenly reacted and screamed to leave. Su Xiaobai said that he had selfish motives at the time. He felt that since Taozi had gone home with him, she must have a hope to be with him. So Su Xiaobai wanted to have a good talk with her to see if there was a hope for her to be Taozi's boyfriend. Taozi was unwilling to talk to him all the time, and she was hysterical, determined to leave Su Xiaobai's house. Su Xiaobai was afraid that she would attract the neighbors, so he hurriedly fed her a few sleeping pills. The source of the sleeping pills is also clear. Su Xiaobai's mother has always suffered from insomnia, so there are always sleeping pills at home. So from this point of view, Su Xiaobai did not prepare them in advance."

I wanted to say something, but Brother Li waved his hand at me and continued, "Su Xiaobai wanted Taozi to have a nap, thinking that she would be quiet after waking up, and then we could have a good talk. So he pushed Taozi into the bedroom, locked the bedroom door, locked the front door, and went to class. When he came back from school at noon, Su Xiaobai thought Taozi must be asleep, but when he opened the door, Taozi waved a fruit knife at him, scaring Su Xiaobai so much that he quickly locked the bedroom door again."

At this point, Brother Li paused again: "The fruit knife was already in the bedroom, which proves that Su Xiaobai did not have any malicious intentions. His idea was actually very simple, just to calm Taozi down and have a good talk with her. When Taozi came back from the evening self-study get out of class, she had been tortured by the drug and had almost no strength in her body. So Su Xiaobai was able to get close to her and forced her into a corner. But at this time, Su Xiaobai did not use coercive means, but tried to communicate with Taozi with gentle words..."

"Brother Li!" I suddenly called out, "Why are you always making excuses for Su Xiaobai?" Even a fool could see that Brother Li had been talking for so long just to make excuses for Su Xiaobai, which was very puzzling to me. Ye Zhan, Su Wan and the others also had this doubt and looked at Brother Li strangely.

Brother Li sighed, "Wang Hao, since you are Nan Nan's younger brother, I will tell you two things sincerely. First, I did not excuse Su Xiaobai. I told the truth from the beginning to the end. From my many years of experience in handling cases, I know that every word Su Xiaobai said was sincere and serious. At this point, he really didn't dare to lie anymore. Of course, if you want me to make this a false case, I can do it. I can just use some tricks to confuse Su Xiaobai, and Su Xiaobai will continue to speak in the direction of my speech. At that time, I can charge him with a heavier crime, but I can't, because..."
