There aren't many police officers on duty at the police station at night to begin with. One of the three officers had just finished his shift and was having a late-night snack when he was called in to work overtime.
Upon seeing the director arrive, one of them explained the situation to him, while the other questioned Huang Jingjing and Yuan Mengge about the details, also clarifying their relationship.
There was also one guarding the three suspects.
The town's police station naturally didn't have any cells for holding prisoners, so they could only handcuff the three of them to an iron bar specifically used for handcuffing criminals.
After questioning Yuan Mengge and the others, the police officers pulled out a phone book and looked for the phone number in Huang Jingjing's village.
Each village or work team leaves a phone number with the local police station so that the police can contact the village directly if anything happens.
It's usually either the village head's house or a small shop.
I called in the middle of the night, and it took a long time for someone to answer.
After the villagers notified Huang Jingjing, they immediately went to her house to inform her parents.
Huang's parents rushed to the town's police station overnight.
Yuan Mengge and the other two stayed with Huang Jingjing until Huang's parents arrived.
It was already past 2 a.m.
Huang Jingjing's parents had someone drive them to the police station late at night.
The two rushed in in a panic, looking for their daughter.
"Where is my daughter? Jingjing!"
The police station wasn't very big, and he soon saw Huang Jingjing sitting to one side.
Her father rushed in, ran to her, and raised his hand to slap her: "Look what you've done..."
Before he could even finish his sentence, the slap he was about to deliver was blocked by Yuan Mengge, who was sitting next to Huang Jingjing, who quickly raised her hand to block it.
"What are you doing? Your daughter has already been hurt, do you, as her father, want to hurt her a second time?" Yuan Mengge blocked Huang Jingjing's father and angrily cursed him.
Parents these days are truly a mixed bag!
"Who are you? What business is it of yours if I hit my daughter? If she hadn't run out to play late at night, would she have run into this mess? She brought this on herself! And she's caused us so much trouble!" After being stopped by her, Huang's father pointed at Huang Jingjing and started cursing.
They completely disregarded how their daughter was feeling at that moment.
Huang's mother rushed over, anxiously examining Huang Jingjing's body from head to toe: "Jingjing! You...you were really...what happened?"
"Waaaaah—Mom—" Huang Jingjing was almost slapped by her own father, and was so frightened that she threw herself into her mother's arms and started crying.
The police officers then came over and stopped Mr. Huang, saying, "Calm down. Your daughter has been harmed, it's not her fault. Why are you hitting her? What kind of father are you?"
Mr. Huang was furious. Seeing the police officers stopping him, he had no choice but to control his emotions. He continued to curse, "If she hadn't run away at night, would she have encountered this? Isn't she at fault? Running away at night and wandering around, who else would she rape if not her?"
The police officers were speechless when they heard what he said.
Yuan Mengge rolled her eyes and said to the police officers, "Her parents are here, can we go now?"
She glanced at Li Xue'e and the other person, who were already sitting beside her, kowtowing and praying to the gods.
The police officer nodded: "Okay. Be careful when you get back to the hotel, and make sure the door is locked."
"Thank you, we will," Yuan Mengge replied, then immediately patted Li Xue'e and the other woman awake: "Alright, we can go back now."
He turned and glanced at Huang Jingjing, who was being scolded by her father again, and said to her, "If you need to find me, come to town."
School starts in a couple of days, and since she won't be home for the next few days anyway, I didn't give her the village's phone number.
She observed that the girl's attitude towards reporting the rape was not so resistant, indicating that her personality and values had not been influenced by the prevailing social environment.
She would be very willing to be friends with this kind of person.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Huang Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay."
Her mother glanced at Yuan Mengge and asked her daughter with a puzzled look, "Do you two know each other?"
Huang Jingjing: "Mom, she saved me, and she's the one who helped me catch those people. If she had arrived a moment later, you might be collecting my corpse..."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Huang replied knowingly, "Oh... really? Do you know where she's from? What's her name? We should go and thank her when we have time."
Huang Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "She said her name was A Ping and she was in the third year of junior high school in town. She didn't tell me where she was from... but it seems she's not from our town. They came to the beach from somewhere else and then stayed at that hotel."
"Oh, I see... Then I'll just have to wait until school starts and go to the school to find her," said Huang Ma.

After leaving the police station, Yuan Mengge and the other two walked back to the hotel.
But they found that the door, which had been open before, was now closed.
The three of them stared at the tightly closed door, speechless.
Is the boss not planning to let them come back to live here?
Their things are still inside!
Yuan Mengge went straight up and banged on the door: "Boss! Open the door! Open the door!"
I guess it's because they ruined the mayor's son's plans, and the hotel thought they were in trouble, so they resented her for meddling and being a good Samaritan.
They won't let them in?
Yuan Mengge looked around and noticed that a window on the utility pole next to the second floor was open.
She turned to the two of them and said, "Wait for me at the door."
The two men looked at her, completely bewildered, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Then Yuan Mengge nimbly climbed up the telephone pole and then climbed in through the second-floor window.
About twenty seconds later, the door was opened from the inside.
The door is latched from the back and can be opened from the inside.
After opening the door, Yuan Mengge greeted them, "Come in."
Li Xue'e and the other person went inside; the room was pitch black.
Yuan Mengge closed the door again, and then the three of them went upstairs and returned to their original room.
The room hasn't been cleaned yet; I guess the landlady isn't in the mood to clean it right now.
The three of them went into the room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
They've already given us the money, and we've already wasted the first few hours without rest, so we can't waste the next few hours too.
The three of them slept until seven or eight o'clock the next day, when they were suddenly woken up by a knock on the door.
"What's going on? Why is the door locked from the inside? Is someone sleeping in there? Who is it? Could it be those three girls coming back? How could that be? The downstairs doors are locked, they shouldn't be able to get in. Who went in?"
The person at the door kept banging on it while muttering curses for a long time: "Hey! Is anyone inside? Open the door! Come out! Hey!"
