Song Jiaojiao felt completely bewildered. Well, she was also a little flustered, wondering why the police officers from the police station had come to find her.
But the captain was calling her, and she couldn't very well not go.
Therefore, she adjusted her mindset, walked to the edge of the field, stood still, looked at the police officer, and asked, "I am Song Jiaojiao. May I ask what business you have with me?"
"Come with me to the station; there's something I need your cooperation in investigating."
Lin Chang'an, 23 years old, had been working at the town police station for less than two months. He spoke expressionlessly about his purpose in coming to find Song Jiaojiao.
"What's up?"
Song Jiaojiao frowned: "I'm an educated youth from Beijing. I haven't done anything illegal in Shisong Village. Why do you want me to go to the police station?"
"There's a case involving you, and as a citizen, you have an obligation to cooperate with law enforcement in their investigation. Do you still have any questions?"
Although it's not a major case, since someone has reported it and Song, the educated youth in front of us, is one of the defendants, then as a law enforcement agency, it is necessary to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"A case? What case am I involved in?"
Song Jiaojiao was on edge.
"You'll find out when you get to the institute. Let's go."
Spreading rumors and fabricating stories are the most despicable things. Lin Chang'an's expression suddenly turned stern, which made Song Jiaojiao shiver involuntarily. She bit her lip and finally had no choice but to follow Lin Chang'an to the town police station.
Yuan Xiaoya stared at Song Jiaojiao's retreating figure, pondering again and again, but still couldn't understand why the police officers at the station wanted to find Song Jiaojiao.
"What do you think Song Jiaojiao did wrong?"
"How would I know?"
"Yes, how could we possibly know?"
“Yuan Xiaoya and Song Jiaojiao are close, she must know something.”
"Go and ask."
“I’m not going. Let Chen Dongze ask. He has a close relationship with Yuan Xiaoya. If he asks, Yuan Xiaoya will most likely tell him.”
...
The male educated youths working together whispered among themselves, and the few female educated youths were also discussing the fact that Song Jiaojiao had been taken away by the police.
Of course, the commune members working in the fields weren't idle either.
"Why was Jiaojiao taken away by the police?"
"It's probably nothing good."
"Isn't that obvious? What good could it be if the police come looking for you? But aside from being an ingrate, Jiaojiao hasn't done anything truly heinous."
"Big plum! Big plum!"
A member of the commune called out to Li Jumei. When Li Jumei looked over, he couldn't help but say, "No matter what, you raised Jiaojiao. Now that she's been taken away by the police, aren't you worried, her mother?"
"Are you so full that you're stuffed?"
Why is she in such a hurry?
That brat Song Jiaojiao has nothing to do with their family anymore. Now that she's been taken away by the police, it can only be said that she brought it on herself. Otherwise, why didn't the police take away anyone else?
"Big Plum, look at you! We were just chatting, why are you arguing with me?!"
"You're just idly chatting with other people, I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."
"Are you really planning to cut ties with that girl Jiaojiao?"
"I think you've really eaten too much and are just bored. Why don't you run a couple of laps around our village?"
"Never mind, it was my fault for asking. I deserved to be roasted by you."
...
Police station.
Song Lan and Zheng Laidi were both brought over, but after Song Lan explained the situation, she returned to the machinery factory with the permission of the police officers.
Zheng Laidi was detained, so Song Jiaojiao was taken to the police station by Lin Chang'an and did not see Song Lan.
It should be noted that the reason why the police station sent Lin Chang'an to Shisong Village to find Song Jiaojiao was because Song Lan had expressed her guess about what had happened between her and Song Jiaojiao.
Therefore, Song Jiaojiao appeared at the police station as a suspect.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
In a small interrogation room, Lin Chang'an and a female colleague were asking Song Jiaojiao about the situation. However, after Song Jiaojiao understood why she had been brought to the police station, she pretended to be stupid.
"Should we call Beijing to find out about the entanglement between you and Comrade Song Lan?"
This is Lin Chang'an's voice. A little over a year ago, his neighbor had a young daughter who was originally cheerful, beautiful, and generous. However, one day, someone at her workplace spread rumors that she was dating multiple men.
Even more unspeakable things happened. Just three days later, the girl was jilted by her fiancé's family. Unable to bear the blow and the onslaught of rumors, she took her own life when her family was not paying attention.
By the time the family found him, he had already stopped breathing.
This shows how harmful it is to spread rumors; for people with poor mental resilience, it can be a fatal blow!
Song Jiaojiao felt a chill run down her spine under Lin Chang'an's gaze. Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, she blurted out, "I do have a bit of a misunderstanding with Song Lan, but it's nothing serious."
"And I didn't intentionally stand her up. I really had something come up at the last minute, which is why I couldn't go to the agreed-upon place to go to the movies with her. As for what you said about Song Lan almost getting into an accident, and the rumors about her, those have nothing to do with me."
Lin Chang'an's face was solemn as he stared intently at Song Jiaojiao and asked, "Really nothing to do with it? Then tell me why the people at the machinery factory knew about what happened to Comrade Song Lan?"
Song Jiaojiao tried her best to remain calm and replied, "How would I know if you ask me that?"
With a loud "smack," Lin Chang'an slammed his hand on the table. He said, "Are you sure you don't know? If you didn't spread the word, who else could it be?"
"Comrade, how can you be sure it's me?"
Song Jiaojiao said, "I know what happened to Song Lan. I'm not the only one from Beijing here. For example, there's Song Lan's brother-in-law and other relatives from her husband's family. And there's Song Lan's ex-boyfriend, who, like me, was a sent-down youth and we were both sent to the countryside in Shisong Village. Maybe it's one of them..."
"Nonsense!"
Lin Chang'an slammed his hand on the table again and said in a deep voice, "Would Comrade Song Lan's brother-in-law do something like that to hurt his sister-in-law? As for your mention of Comrade Song Lan's ex-girlfriend, what reason would he have to spread rumors at the machinery factory?"
I advise you to explain things clearly, otherwise, once we investigate and find out the truth ourselves, you'll be in big trouble!
"..."
Song Jiaojiao remained silent.
If the police station wants to investigate, it probably won't take long to present the evidence to her. After all... after all, everyone in Shisong Village probably knows about her entanglement with that bitch Song Lan.
Whether Qin Boyan, Qin Yaxin, and Chen Dongze are the real rumor-mongers can naturally be thoroughly investigated.
Biting her lip, Song Jiaojiao struggled internally. After a long while, she said, "I remember now. I was chatting with Yuan, a fellow educated youth from our educated youth compound, and we inadvertently mentioned what happened to Song Lan. I wonder if it's because she went to the machinery factory..."
