Chapter 600: He Released Himself
Lin Xi's hands were still trembling in the car.
Although Qiao Xing stayed with her the whole time, they were now heading to the police station.
If this is truly her responsibility, then it doesn't matter if she's locked up inside.
But she couldn't let Qiao Xing be implicated.
Wang Qin said that Qiao Xing is already pregnant.
Qiao Xing got involved in this matter to help her. If something happens to her because of her, Lin Xi will never be able to forgive herself.
Qiao Xing thought she was still scared, so she gently patted her hand, "Don't be afraid, your sister is here."
Lin Xi nodded firmly.
Upon arriving at the police station, Lin Xi was taken in for questioning.
As they went inside, Qiao Xing whispered to her, "Don't be afraid. Just tell the police everything that happened. You don't need to admit to anything you didn't do."
Lin Xi: "Mm."
The police asked Lin Xi, "Why did you intentionally injure someone?"
Lin Xi swallowed hard. She saw that Feng Jiao's blood was still on her hands, and everything that had happened in the classroom seemed to be replaying in her mind.
She instinctively wanted to avoid being questioned by the police.
But when she thought about Qiao Xing's purpose in doing all this, all the panic and unease in her heart vanished.
Qiao Xing did this so that she wouldn't be cowardly or run away anymore. Now that things have developed to this point, all she has to do is face it.
Lin Xi clenched her fingers, calmly looking at the police, "I didn't mean to hurt her. She came to grab my knife herself, which is why she hurt herself."
The policeman slammed his hand on the table. "Nonsense! You're a seventh grader, why would you carry a knife in your bag instead of books? And you're saying you didn't intentionally hurt someone?"
Lin Xi's shoulders trembled involuntarily, but her tone remained firm, "I said, I didn't intentionally hurt her. I carried the knife for self-defense. If they hadn't bullied me every day, why would I have carried a knife?"
The police officer was taken aback.
They never expected that Lin Xi, who seemed timid and had trouble speaking at school, could actually utter such complete and logical words at this moment.
It almost led the police astray.
The police officer immediately became serious again. "No matter what happened, you can't do anything to hurt others. That's the law! They're in the hospital right now because of you, and you might even face legal trouble. So, you'd better explain everything clearly."
Lin Xi clenched her fists tightly, biting her teeth repeatedly. She stared intently at the police officer, and a sentence was almost squeezed out from between her lips: "So, all the things they did to hurt me can be wiped clean?"
For a moment, it was as if Qiao Xing's shadow appeared in her.
Lin Xi herself never imagined that she would say these words with such confidence.
Perhaps influenced by Qiao Xing, she didn't want to disappoint her or implicate her.
Or perhaps, she completely defeated the demon deep within her that had been holding her back, allowing her to truly free herself.
In short, no matter how things turn out today, she absolutely cannot back down at this moment.
The police questioned them for a long time but couldn't get anything out of them.
Lin Xi insisted that she had not hurt anyone, while the news from the hospital was that Feng Jiao was not dead, but she was still unconscious due to excessive bleeding from her wounds.
Meanwhile, on the surveillance camera, the situation was chaotic, with Feng Jiao and Lin Xi surrounded by other classmates.
The scene was a complete mess, making it impossible to tell whether Lin Xi did it on purpose or whether Feng Jiao bullied Lin Xi first, forcing Lin Xi to hurt Feng Jiao in retaliation.
This is giving the police a headache.
This case would normally be easy to resolve, but since school bullying has been involved, we'll need to investigate thoroughly if we're going to hold anyone accountable.
But when the police wanted to investigate, someone simply wouldn't give them any time.
Feng Jiao's father was notified to come to the police station while he was at the hospital.
He had already been stabbed because of Feng Jiao, and was thinking about how to make the school and those who hurt Feng Jiao pay the price.
Just then, the police station called, so when Mr. Feng arrived at the police station, he was almost black-faced and furious.
Qiao Xing just happened to see Lin Xi come out after being interrogated. The police told her, "We still need to investigate this matter. She can't leave for now. Please wait for the results."
On his way to the police station, Qiao Xing had already thought that this matter wouldn't be resolved easily.
Her purpose in doing this was not simply to teach Lin Xi to rebel.
Some things only get taken seriously when they become a big deal.
Doesn't the school like to keep things under wraps? Doesn't it value its reputation a lot? Then she'll make a big scene. Doesn't Feng Jiao's father turn a blind eye to his daughter's behavior? Then she'll put his daughter in danger and see if he can sit still.
For some reason, after Lin Xi came out of the interrogation room, she suddenly seemed like a different person, timidly listening to the conversation between the police and Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing said to the police, "Okay, we understand."
The policeman glanced at Lin Xi as he left.
The girl was completely different when she spoke to him just now; he almost thought she might have schizophrenia.
After the police left, Qiao Xing wanted Lin Xi to sit down and rest for a while before going to buy her some food.
No sooner had she turned around than a man suddenly rushed towards her.
He raised his arm to hit Qiao Xing, but fortunately Lin Xi instinctively stepped in front of her.
Several police officers nearby reacted quickly and stopped him; otherwise, his slap would have landed on Qiao Xing's face.
Qiao Xing took two steps back, and when she regained her balance, she looked up and saw that the fierce-looking man in front of her was none other than Feng Jiao's father.
The police officer who stopped Mr. Feng warned him, "Sir, this is a police station. You can tell us what's wrong. Don't act impulsively, or we will have to take coercive measures!"
When Qiao Xing recognized that it was Feng Jiao's father, he was no longer afraid at all.
First, this is a police station. Unless he doesn't want his job anymore, he wouldn't dare to openly assault someone in a police station.
The second reason is that she didn't do anything wrong, so the person who should be afraid right now is Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng, having been in the business world for some time, quickly calmed down.
He straightened his suit and said to the police, "Hello, I am Feng Jiao's father. My daughter was stabbed innocently at school. I hope your police station can give me an explanation. Otherwise, even if I have to go bankrupt, I will hire the best lawyer in Chongqing to seek justice for my daughter!"
