"Let alone losing money, even if they lost a stick of firewood, they would curse for a long time in the village. This time, they must be furious."
Sun Youjun was silent for a moment. He was sure that he heard the meaning of gloating.
Captain Niu on the other end of the phone was still saying, "But we don't think it was the girl in the cotton jacket who took it."
"That girl in cotton jacket is so timid and cowardly. She's tortured by that old woman every day. Her life is almost gone. How can she be so brave?"
"Comrade Public Security, let me tell you, we all privately speculated that it was the Lao Mian family who tortured that girl to death and deliberately spread false news to escape punishment."
"That girl in cotton jacket has had a really hard life. She hasn't had a good day since she was born."
"Someone in our village felt sorry for the little girl and secretly helped her."
"Then the old woman knew about it and started cursing. Tell me, is this something a mother could do?"

What follows is Captain Niu’s ten-minute description of Cotton-padded Jacket’s miserable and tragic childhood.
When he got excited, he slammed the table and stomped his feet, which made Sun Youjun, who was just listening, get angry too.
